NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EYEN), a commercial-stage ophthalmic company with two FDA-approved products and a late-stage asset in pediatric progressive myopia, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Business Developments
Following an FDA meeting in July, announced plans for validation of the advanced Gen-2 Optejet device with production anticipated to begin in Q4 and submission in 2025 for Mydcombi as the lead product. The Gen-2 device was developed to be easier to use and manufacture, bringing the cost of goods for the monthly cartridge towards the company's goal of $20.
Advanced the Phase 3 CHAPERONE study of MicroPine for pediatric progressive myopia. External sources have valued the pediatric progressive myopia market at over $3.0 billion annually in the U.S. and China.
Announced collaboration agreements with Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and SGN Nanopharma to develop novel therapeutics for use with Eyenovia's Optejet® dispenser as potential treatments for dry eye disease, estimated to be a $5 billion global addressable market.
Reported training and shipping Mydcombi to 63 new offices from April 2024 through June 30, prior to the hiring and onboarding of its sales force; on-track to reach 263 new offices by the end of the third quarter.
Completed an equity placement with two of the Company's largest shareholders.
Michael Rowe, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the second quarter, we made significant progress both advancing our commercial initiatives and furthering co-development agreements that can potentially address new, multi-billion-dollar underserved markets. Our plans to finalize the Gen-2 device are now set following a meeting with the FDA and we look forward to submitting this advanced technology with Mydcombi as the lead product in 2025. Meanwhile, our Mydcombi launch continues to track to plan, with this innovative mydriasis product now available in 63 new ophthalmic offices since launch, with many more coming onboard during the third quarter as momentum accelerates."
"Regarding MicroPine, which we are developing for pediatric progressive myopia, we are preparing for analysis of the Phase 3 CHAPERONE data in the fourth quarter that, if successful, would meaningfully accelerate its remaining development path. We also executed several co-development agreements to evaluate novel therapeutics in our Optejet dispenser as potential treatments for dry eye disease, which is estimated to be a $5 billion addressable market."
"Also, during the second quarter, we completed a registered direct equity offering with two of our largest shareholders at the market price. These additional funds, together with cash on-hand and other currently available capital resources, are expected to fund our operations through the Phase 3 CHAPERONE data, which we view as a significant upcoming milestone for our company."
"We continue to take steps to increase the tangible value of our company, which currently includes two FDA-approved products, a third in late Phase 3 development, and co-development agreements that leverage our novel Optejet technology in large market indications. We believe we are very well positioned to be a leading partner to ophthalmic offices by addressing a broad spectrum of physician and patient needs with a portfolio of highly differentiated products."
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Review
For the second quarter of 2024, net loss was approximately $11.1 million, or $0.21 per share, as compared to a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.16 per share, for the second quarter of 2023. The second quarter 2024 net loss includes $2.9 million of expense, or $0.05 loss per share, associated with the reacquisition of the license rights for MicroPine from Bausch + Lomb. The Company recorded a cost of revenue write-off of $0.5 million to adjust finished goods commercial inventory to net realizable value in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, other income includes a gain of approximately $1.2 million associated with the change in fair value of equity consideration granted in the Bausch + Lomb and Formosa transactions.
Research and development expenses totaled approximately $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 63.5% due largely to increased clinical expenses from the reacquisition of MicroPine license rights from Bausch + Lomb.
For the second quarter of 2024, general and administrative expenses were approximately $3.8 million, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 19.3% reflecting the establishment of the Company's sales force in 2024.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were approximately $11.2 million, including the previously referenced $2.9 million of expenses associated with the Bausch transaction compared to approximately $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. This represents an increase of approximately 88.2%. The second quarter 2024 operating expense figure includes approximately $3.8 million of non-cash expenses.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company's unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.3 million. This excludes approximately $5.8 million in gross proceeds from equity offerings completed after June 30, 2024.
