Exhibit 99.1

EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Highlights Recent Corporate Developments

 

 

 

 

WATERTOWN, Mass., November 1, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYPT), a company committed to developing and commercializing therapeutics to improve the lives of patients with retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, and highlighted recent corporate developments.

 

“We continued advancing EYP-1901 through clinical development in the third quarter, announcing positive masked safety results for our lead product candidate EYP-1901 in the ongoing DAVIO 2 and PAVIA Phase 2 clinical trials,” said Jay Duker, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. “We remain on-track to report topline data for the DAVIO 2 trial in wet AMD in December 2023 and the PAVIA trial in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the second quarter of 2024. We also plan to initiate the Phase 2 VERONA trial of EYP-1901 in diabetic macular edema in the first quarter of 2024.”

Dr. Duker continued, “It is an exciting time for EyePoint as we are well-positioned to execute on key near-term milestones and drive value for shareholders. We remain laser focused on our mission of making a difference in the lives of patients suffering from retinal diseases.”

Recent Corporate Highlights

 

Review of Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2023

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, total net revenue was $15.2 million compared to $10.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Net product revenue for the third quarter was $0.8 million, compared to net product revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 of $9.7 million. The decrease in net product revenue resulted from sale of the YUTIQ franchise in May 2023 and the discontinuation of DEXYCU commercialization activities in 2023.

Net revenue from royalties and collaborations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 totaled $14.4 million compared to $0.3 million in the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to partial recognition of deferred revenue from the sale of the YUTIQ franchise which will be recognized over a 2-year period in connection with the delivery of YUTIQ supply units.

Operating expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 totaled $29.6 million versus $28.4 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by R&D spending on the ongoing EYP-1901 clinical trials, partially offset by reduced sales and marketing expense. Non-operating expense,

net, totaled $1.8 million and net loss was $12.6 million, or ($0.33) per share, compared to a net loss of $18.4 million, or ($.49) per share, for the prior year period.

Cash and investments at September 30, 2023 totaled $136.0 million compared to $144.6 million at December 31, 2022.

Financial Outlook

We expect the cash, cash equivalents and investments on September 30, 2023 will enable us to fund our current and planned operations into 2025.
