"2019 was a year marked by significant achievement as evidenced by two successful commercial product launches, DEXYCU and YUTIQ," said Nancy Lurker, President & Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint. "We are very pleased by the sales acceleration in the fourth quarter for both products which positions the Company well for a strong 2020. Customer demand is building, physician acceptance continues to grow, and we will continue to execute on additional agreements with payors to expand access to our products. In parallel, we remain focused on advancing and enhancing our pipeline for areas of unmet need in ocular disease. "

Customer demand, represented as units purchased by physicians and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) from the Company’s distributors, showed continued strong unit growth for both products with estimated increases of 43% and 86% for YUTIQ and DEXYCU, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2019 versus the third quarter of 2019. This growth was supported by the permanent and specific J-Code for YUTIQ in place as of October 1, 2019 and the execution of key agreements with payors and large ASCs during the period.

The difference between reported GAAP net product revenues and customer demand is due to the timing of distributor purchases from the Company based upon customer demand and distributor inventory levels from quarter to quarter. The Company also moved from a single distributor title model to a more traditional multi-distributor structure during the fourth quarter.

Net product revenue for YUTIQ is estimated to be between $4.1 and $4.5 million and between $11.4 and $11.8 million for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Net product revenue for DEXYCU is estimated to be between $2.8 and $3.1 million and between $4.4 and $4.7 million for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company estimates that it had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22 million at December 31, 2019.

The preliminary fourth quarter and full-year 2019 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.
