WATERTOWN, Mass., March 14, 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 three and six-month fiscal period ended December 31, 2018 and highlighted recent corporate developments.

“We begin 2019 with the achievement of two major milestones in the Company’s history with the launches of our innovative ophthalmology products – YUTIQ^TM and DEXYCU^TM – that have the potential to alter the treatment landscape for ocular diseases,” said Nancy Lurker, President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. “EyePoint has transitioned into a full-fledged and integrated commercial organization and we are focused on ensuring that our two product launches are successful on behalf of patients and families suffering from ocular conditions that may be treated with our products.”

Recent Highlights

Three and Six-Month Financial Results for the Fiscal Period Ended December 31, 2018

Following the change of the Company’s fiscal year-end from June 30 to December 31, the reported financial results include the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2018. EyePoint believes the change of its fiscal year aligns its financial reporting periods to that of its peer group in the industry and facilitates the assessment of its financial performance. The Company will file audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2018.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, revenues totaled $2.4 million compared to $933,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The revenues increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of $1.7 million from the upfront license fee received from Ocumension Therapeutics.

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased to $13.4 million from $6.7 million for the prior year quarter, due primarily to ongoing investments in sales and marketing infrastructure and program costs, professional services, stock-based compensation and amortization of the DEXYCU intangible asset. Non-operating expense, net, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 totaled $589,000 and consisted of interest expense on the SWK term loan, net of interest income from cash equivalent investments. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $11.6 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million, or $0.13 per share, for the prior year quarter.

For the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2018, revenues totaled $2.9 million compared to $1.3 million for the prior year six-month period. The revenues increase was primarily attributable to the aforementioned Ocumension upfront license fee and higher royalty income under existing collaboration agreements, partially offset by the absence in the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2018 of revenues from feasibility study agreements. Operating expenses for the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2018 increased to $27.5 million from $13.1 million for the prior year six-months period, due primarily to expansion of the Company’s leadership team, investments in sales and marketing infrastructure and program costs, professional services, stock-based compensation and amortization of the DEXYCU intangible asset. Non-operating expense, net, in the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2018 totaled $20.2 million and consisted primarily of an $18.9 million non-cash change in fair value of derivative liability, as well as interest expense on the SWK term loan. Net loss for the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2018 was $44.7 million, or $0.53 per share, compared to a net loss of $11.8 million, or $0.28 per share, for the prior year six-month period.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2018 totaled $45.3 million compared to $38.8 million at June 30, 2018.

Financial Outlook

Management believes amounts available from the CRG credit facility, together with the Company’s current cash and cash equivalent position and proceeds from commercial sales of YUTIQ and DEXYCU and existing collaboration agreements, are sufficient to fund operations and debt service obligations through the remainder of 2019.

About EyePoint Pharmaceuticals

EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly pSivida Corp.) (www.eyepointpharma.com), headquartered in Watertown, MA, is a specialty biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic products in indications with high unmet medical need to help improve the lives of patients with serious eye disorders. With the approval by the FDA on October 12, 2018 of the YUTIQ™ three-year treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIPU), the Company has developed the majority of the FDA-approved sustained-release treatments for eye diseases. The most common adverse reactions reported for YUTIQ were cataract development and increases in intraocular pressure. DEXYCU™ was approved by the FDA on February 9, 2018. DEXYCU, administered as a single intraocular dose at the end of ocular surgery for the treatment of postoperative inflammation, is the first and only FDA-approved intraocular product with this indication. The most common adverse reactions reported by 5-15% of patients were intraocular pressure increased, corneal edema and iritis. DEXYCU employs the Verisome^® extended-release drug delivery technology, which encompasses a broad number of related, but distinct drug delivery systems with the potential of incorporating an extensive range of active agents, including small molecules, proteins and monoclonal antibodies. ILUVIEN^® (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant), a micro-insert for diabetic macular edema, licensed to Alimera Sciences, Inc., is currently sold directly in the U.S. and several EU countries. Retisert^® (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant), for posterior uveitis, is licensed to and sold by Bausch &

Lomb, Inc. and Vitrasert^® (ganciclovir implant), for cytomegalovirus retinitis was licensed and sold by Bausch and Lomb until being discontinued in 2013. The Company’s development programs are focused on using its core Durasert™ and the Verisome platform technologies to deliver drugs to treat posterior segment uveitis (shorter duration treatment), wet age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other diseases.
