WATERTOWN, Mass., Nov. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYPT), a specialty biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic products, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019 and highlighted recent corporate developments.
"We are pleased with the strong growth in customer orders during the quarter as our sales team is making significant progress in penetrating targeted accounts for both DEXYCU® and YUTIQ®," said Nancy Lurker, President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. "At the customer level, DEXYCU is gaining momentum at high volume ambulatory surgery centers with increasing repeat orders by physicians who favor its targeted, efficient ocular administration, and its positive efficacy and safety profile. We also saw continued strong growth of 17% in physician demand for YUTIQ quarter over quarter despite a cumbersome reimbursement process under a miscellaneous J-Code. We expect that the issuance of a permanent and specific J-Code for YUTIQ, which went into effect on October 1, 2019, will enable customers to experience a faster and more straightforward reimbursement process and will support continued growth in demand for this important product. These positive customer and reimbursement trends were masked by our distributor's strategic decision to substantially reduce carried inventory, limiting their restocking during the quarter and resulting in decreased reported revenue from the prior quarter."
Commercial Performance in Third Quarter 2019
DEXYCU (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery
YUTIQ (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.18 mg for chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye
Corporate Developments
R&D Highlights
Review of Results for Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2019
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, total revenue was $2.5 million. Net product revenue was $1.0 million, primarily generated from sales of DEXYCU.
DEXYCU and YUTIQ are sold through a distributor under a title model and, accordingly, product revenue is recognized as inventory is shipped to the distributor and title transfers. Due to this title model, quarterly reported revenue and underlying customer sales will likely track separately for an extended period of time beyond initial launch, as customer demand patterns may not align with the distributor's inventory restocking procedures.
Net revenue from licenses, royalties and collaborations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $1.5 million compared to $486,000 in the corresponding quarter in 2018.
Review of Nine Months Results Ended September 30, 2019
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total net product revenue was $8.9 million. Neither product had net revenue in the corresponding period in 2018. Net revenue from licenses, royalties and collaborations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $2.8 million compared to $2.1 million in the corresponding period in 2018.
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 totaled $31.8 million compared to $44.2 million at June 30, 2019.
Financial Outlook
We expect that the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 and cash inflows from anticipated YUTIQ and DEXYCU product sales will be sufficient to fund the Company's operating plan into 2020.
