EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Announces Preliminary Net Product Revenue for Third Quarter 2020

On October 7, 2020 EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYPT), a pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic products, reported preliminary, unaudited, net product revenue estimates for the third quarter 2020 (Press release, pSivida, OCT 7, 2020, View Source [SID1234568186]). For the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, net product revenues are estimated to be between $5.5 and $5.9 million, compared to net product revenues of $3.7 million reported for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. This increase was driven by a sequential increase in customer demand for both YUTIQ and DEXYCU during the quarter as regions of the United States began reopening following COVID-19-related closures.

"We were pleased to see the continued return of customer demand for both YUTIQ and DEXYCU during the third quarter of 2020, as more healthcare facilities re-opened for business and resumed patient treatment," said Nancy Lurker, President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. "Customer demand trends for the third quarter exceeded the second quarter and are approaching pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, highlighting a promising recovery. We believe our products offer physicians distinct advantages including single-injection, long-lasting activity, fewer office visits and less contact with patients’ eyes and face. We hope to continue this momentum in the fourth quarter through our recent U.S. commercial alliance with ImprimisRx for DEXYCU and increased in-office physician education for YUTIQ."

Estimated net product revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, consists of $3.4-$3.5 million for YUTIQ and $2.1-$2.4 million for DEXYCU.

Customer demand for YUTIQ, represented as units purchased by physicians from the Company’s distributors, was approximately 450 units in Q3 2020 as compared to 428 units in Q2 2020. Customer demand for DEXYCU, represented as units purchased by ambulatory surgery centers from the Company’s distributors, was approximately 4,700 units in Q3 2020 as compared to 2,096 units in Q2 2020.

The preliminary third quarter net product revenue results included in this release were calculated prior to the completion of a review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and are therefore subject to adjustment. The Company plans to provide additional financial information, including total revenue, in its third quarter financial results release that is expected in November 2020.

"We are very encouraged with our strong performance as revenue and claims data show EXPAREL weekly growth rates exceeding those of the elective surgery market due to its expanding role in shifting a variety of complex surgical procedures to the 23-hour stay environment and broadening utilization in non-elective procedures, such as cesarean sections, cardiothoracic and oncology surgeries. When the elective surgery market recovers to its normal pace, we expect EXPAREL revenue to experience further growth," said Dave Stack, chairman and chief executive officer of Pacira BioSciences. "Demand for training around nerve and field blocks continues to grow and we remain on track to launch our state-of-the-art Innovation and Training Center in Tampa later this month. This facility will advance interactive, hands-on instruction around best practice field block techniques while improving patient care and enabling patient migration to the 23-hour stay environment."

During the second quarter of 2020, the company’s product sales were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which mandated significant postponement or suspension in the scheduling of elective surgical procedures resulting from public health guidance and government directives. Elective surgery restrictions began to lift on a state-by-state basis in April 2020. In order to provide greater transparency, the company will continue to report monthly intra-quarter unaudited net product sales until it has gained enough visibility around the impacts of COVID-19. The financial information included in this press release is preliminary, unaudited and subject to adjustment. It does not present all information necessary for an understanding of the company’s financial results for the third quarter or full year 2020.
