EYEPOINT PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLID
ATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
Operations
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the Company), as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. Certain information in the footnote disclosures of these financial statements has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect, among other things, (i) reported amounts of assets and liabilities; (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements; and (iii) reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2025 fiscal year or any future period.
The Company is committed to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics to help improve the lives of patients with serious retinal diseases. The Company's pipeline leverages its proprietary bioerodible Durasert E™ technology (Durasert E™) for sustained intraocular drug delivery. The Company’s lead product candidate, DURAVYU™
1
, f/k/a EYP-1901, is an investigational sustained delivery treatment for anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) mediated retinal diseases combining vorolanib, a selective and patent-protected tyrosine kinase inhibitor with Durasert E™. DURAVYU™
is currently in
two
identical, global Phase 3 clinical trials (LUGANO and LUCIA) for wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), the leading cause of vision loss among people 50 years of age and older in the United States
. DURAVYU™ also completed a Phase 2 clinical trial in diabetic macular edema (DME) meeting primary and secondary endpoints. Additional pipeline programs include EYP-2301, a promising TIE-2 agonist, razuprotafib, f/k/a AKB-9778, formulated in Durasert E™ to potentially improve outcomes in serious retinal diseases.
The Company is focused on completing patient enrollment in the LUGANO and LUCIA clinical trials for DURAVYU™ in the second half of 2025 and reporting top-line data in the second half of 2026. The Company also expects to meet with the US FDA in the second quarter of 2025 to finalize the pivotal program for DURAVYU™ in DME with an expectation for that program to potentially begin in 2026.
Liquidity
The Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities of
$
318.2
million at March 31, 2025. The Company has a history of operating losses and has not had significant recurring cash inflows from revenue. The Company’s operations have been financed primarily from sales of its equity securities, issuance of debt and a combination of license fees, milestone payments, royalty income, and other fees received from its collaboration partners. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur losses as it continues the research and development of its product candidates, and the Company does not expect revenues to generate sufficient funding to sustain its operations in the near-term. The Company expects to continue fulfilling its funding needs through cash inflows from revenues, licensing and research collaboration transactions, additional equity capital raises and other arrangements. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities of
$
318.2
million at March 31, 2025 will enable the Company to fund its current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Actual cash requirements could differ from management’s projections due to many factors, including the timing and results of the Company’s clinical trials for DURAVYU™, additional investments in research and development programs, competing technological and market developments and the costs of any strategic acquisitions and/or development of complementary business opportunities.
1. DURAVYU™ has been conditionally accepted by the FDA as the proprietary name for EYP-1901. DURAVYU is an investigational product candidate; it has not been approved by the FDA. FDA approval and the timeline for potential approval is uncertain.

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024
, and notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 6, 2025, or the 2024 Form 10-K. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.

License and Collaboration Agreements and Royalty Income
ANI (formerly Alimera) Product Rights Agreement (PRA) and Commercial Supply Agreement
On
May 17, 2023
(the Closing Date), the Company entered into a PRA with ANI (formerly Alimera). Under the PRA, the Company granted to ANI an exclusive and sublicensable right and license (the License) under the Company’s and its affiliates’ interest in certain of the Company’s and its affiliates’ intellectual property to develop, manufacture, sell, commercialize, and otherwise exploit certain products, including YUTIQ
®
, for the treatment and prevention of uveitis in the entire world except Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Additionally, pursuant to the PRA, the Company transferred and assigned to ANI certain assets (the Transferred Assets) and certain contracts with third parties related to YUTIQ
®
, including the new drug application for YUTIQ
®
(collectively, the Asset Transfer). Pursuant to the PRA, ANI paid the Company a $
75.0
million upfront payment. ANI also made four quarterly payments of $
1.875
million to the Company totaling $
7.5
million during 2024. ANI will also pay royalties to the Company from
2025
to
2028
at a percentage of low-to-mid double digits of ANI’s related U.S. annual net sales of certain products (including YUTIQ
®
) in excess of certain thresholds, beginning at $
70
million in 2025, and increasing annually thereafter. Upon ANI’s payment of the Upfront Payment and the 2024 quarterly payments, the licenses and rights granted to ANI automatically became perpetual and irrevocable. Payments received from ANI are non-refundable.
8
On the Closing Date, the Company and ANI also entered into a commercial supply agreement (CSA), pursuant to which, during the term of the PRA, the Company agreed to manufacture and exclusively supply to ANI agreed-upon quantities of YUTIQ
®
necessary for ANI to commercialize YUTIQ
®
in the United States at certain cost plus amounts, subject to adjustments and potential extensions and terminations set forth in the CSA (the Supply Transaction and together with the License and the Asset Transfer, the Transaction).
The Company classified the cash proceeds of the $
75.0
million Upfront Payment received from ANI as deferred revenue at the Closing Date, pursuant to the PRA and the CSA because the License and supply units to be delivered under both agreements comprise a single, combined performance obligation as ANI will not have the right or ability to manufacture YUTIQ
®
(or have YUTIQ
®
manufactured by a third-party contract manufacturing organization) over the initial
two-year
term pursuant to the CSA. The combined performance obligation is satisfied over time using the units delivered output method to measure progress based on initial estimated supply units of YUTIQ
®
over the
two-year
term for purposes of recognizing revenue, such that revenue is recognized based on the value transferred in the form of units of product in the satisfaction of a performance obligation. Through this method, the Company compares the actual units delivered to date with the current estimated total to be delivered in the contractual term to measure the satisfaction of the performance obligation and recognize revenue. The Company will monitor its estimate of total units to be delivered to determine if an adjustment is needed to ensure that revenue is recognized proportionally for units delivered to date relative to the total units expected to be delivered for the combined performance obligation. Such estimates of the total delivery will be reassessed on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that a change in estimate is necessary, it will adjust revenue using a cumulative catch-up method.
Revenue from sales of product supply to ANI under the CSA was $
0.6
million and $
0.7
million during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
License and Collaboration revenue related to the PRA was $
10.8
million and $
10.4
million during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. License and collaboration revenue, related to additional transitional services was
$
0.2
and $
0.1
million for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025
, the Company had $
5.1
million and $
0
as current and non-current deferred revenue recognized under the PRA.
As of December 31, 2024
, the Company had $
15.9
million and $
0
as current and non-current deferred revenue recognized under the PRA.
SWK Royalty Purchase Agreement
Pursuant to a royalty purchase agreement (RPA) with SWK Funding LLC (SWK), the Company sold its right to receive royalty payments on future sales of products subject to a licensing and development agreement, as amended, with ANI (the Amended ANI Agreement) for an upfront cash payment of $
16.5
million. The Company classified the proceeds received from SWK as deferred revenue at inception of the RPA and is recognizing revenue as royalty payments are made from ANI to SWK.
On March 18, 2025, ANI announced that it completed the buyout of its
3.125
% perpetual royalty obligation to SWK on worldwide net revenues of ILUVIEN
®
and YUTIQ
®
for a one-time payment of $
17.25
million. Under the terms of the agreement, upon making the buyout payment, no further royalty is due to SWK on net revenues beginning January 1, 2025, forward. As a result, the Company terminated the RPA effective March 18, 2025.
The Company recognized $
12.7
million and $
0.3
million of royalty revenue related to the RPA for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no deferred revenue recognized under the RPA, respectively. As of December 31, 2024
, the Company classified $
1.8

May 31, 2028
for
8,383
square feet of laboratory and manufacturing operations space. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a $
0.9
million increase to its lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets resulting from the lease amendment for the term extension of the laboratory and manufacturing operations space.
On January 23, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement (Northbridge Lease) for its new standalone commercial manufacturing facility, including office and lab space located at 600 Commerce Drive, Northbridge, Massachusetts. The new
41,141
square-foot manufacturing facility is Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) compliant to meet U.S. FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) standards to support DURAVYU™ clinical supply and commercial readiness upon regulatory approval. In addition, the building has the capacity and capabilities for pipeline expansion.
The lease includes a non-cancellable lease term of
fifteen years and four months
, with two options to extend the lease term for two additional terms of either
five years
or
ten years
at
95
% of the then-prevailing fair market rent.
The lease term, under ASC 842, commenced during the second quarter of 2024. The Company entered into an amendment to the Northbridge Lease, effective September 30, 2024. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company's obligation to pay base rent began on March 1, 2025.
The Company is responsible for real estate taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses applicable to the leased premises. The Company recognized an initial increase of $
17.7
million to its lease liabilities and $
17.9
million to its right-of-use (ROU) assets resulting from the Northbridge Lease during the second quarter of 2024.
Since the Company elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single combined component, all contract consideration was allocated to the respective lease components. The expected lease terms include non-cancellable lease periods. Renewal option periods have not been included in the determination of the lease terms as they are not deemed reasonably certain of exercise. Variable lease payments, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and property insurance are not included in the determination of the lease’s ROU asset or lease liability.

Our Business
Overview
We are a company committed to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics to help improve the lives of patients with serious retinal diseases. Our pipeline leverages our proprietary bioerodible Durasert E™ technology for sustained intraocular drug delivery. The Company’s lead product candidate, DURAVYU™, is an investigational sustained delivery treatment for anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) -mediated retinal diseases combining vorolanib, a selective and patent-protected tyrosine kinase inhibitor with bioerodible Durasert™. DURAVYU™ is presently in identical, global Phase 3 clinical trials (LUGANO and LUCIA) as a sustained delivery treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), the leading cause of vision loss among people 50 years of age and older in the United States, and recently completed a positive Phase 2 clinical trial for diabetic macular edema (DME) meeting primary and secondary endpoints. Additional pipeline programs include EYPT-2301, a promising TIE-2 agonist, razuprotafib, f/k/a AKB-9778, formulated in Durasert E™ to potentially improve outcomes in serious retinal diseases.
We are focused on completing patient enrollment in the LUGANO and LUCIA clinical trials for DURAVYU™ in the second half of 2025 and reporting top-line data in the second half of 2026. We also expect to meet with the US FDA in the second quarter of 2025 to finalize the pivotal program for DURAVYU™ in DME with an expectation for that program to potentially begin in 2026.
Recent Developments
•
On January 8, 2025, we announced the appointment of renowned retina specialist and industry pioneer Reginald J. Sanders, M.D., FASRS to the Company’s Board of Directors.
19
•
On March 18, 2025, ANI announced that it completed the buyout of its 3.125% perpetual royalty obligation to SWK on worldwide net revenues of ILUVIEN
®
and YUTIQ
®
for a one-time payment of $17.25 million. Under the terms of the agreement, upon making the buyout payment, no further royalty is due to SWK on net revenues beginning January 1, 2025, forward. As a result, the Company terminated the RPA effective March 18, 2025.
R&D Highlights
•
Phase 3 pivotal LUGANO and LUCIA trials for DURAVYU™ in wet AMD are exceeding enrollment expectations and the Company is on track to complete enrollment for both in the second half of 2025. The rapid enrollment to date continues to exceed the observed recruitment rates of comparable historical and ongoing wet AMD clinical trials with LUGANO and LUCIA having randomized over 90% and 50% of patients, respectively, into the trials. LUGANO and LUCIA are identical, global non-inferiority trials with every six-month re-dosing following a clear and recognized pathway for regulatory and commercial success, positioning DURAVYU™ to become a potential blockbuster franchise.
•
The Phase 2 VERONA clinical trial of DURAVYU™ in DME met both primary and secondary endpoints. The 24-week data demonstrated a meaningful and sustained improvement in vision and anatomical control with a continued favorable safety profile.
•
A subgroup analyses of supplement-free patients from the VERONA trial in DME demonstrated that DURAVYU™ 2.7mg significantly and rapidly (by week 4) improved vision and reduced fluid levels, demonstrating a BCVA improvement of +10.3 letters versus +3.0 letters for aflibercept control and a CST improvement of 117.4 microns versus 43.7 microns for aflibercept control at week 24. These results further underscore the differentiated profile of DURAVYU™ with compelling efficacy, favorable safety, and strong durability.
•
Presented multiple datasets at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting in early May 2025, demonstrating DURAVYU™’s potential real-world application in multiple retinal disease indications and de-risked trial designs that position DURAVYU™ for clinical and commercial success. Presentations included:
o
An assessment of the treatment burden in wet AMD treated with DURAVYU™ versus aflibercept from the Phase 2 DAVIO 2 clinical trial
o
Trial design of the global LUGANO and LUCIA pivotal Phase 3 trials in wet AMD
o
A 24-month Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) repeat-dose toxicology study of vorolanib intravitreal insert
•
The 24-week topline results from the Phase 2 VERONA study in DME were accepted for presentation at the Retina World Congress in May 2025, which will highlight DURAVYU™’s potential to transform the treatment landscape in the second largest retinal disease market with its best-in-class safety and efficacy profile.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical experience, anticipated results, and trends, and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances at the time. By their nature, these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we set forth our critical accounting policies and estimates, which included revenue recognition, reserves for variable consideration associated with our commercial revenue and recognition of expense in outsourced clinical trial agreements. See Note 2 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our accounting policies and estimates.

less provisions for product sales allowances. Product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were consistent with the prior year period.
License and Collaboration Agreement
License and collaboration agreement revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 5%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period the prior year. This increase was due to higher recognition of deferred revenue related to the agreement to license YUTIQ

product rights to ANI.
Royalty Income
Royalty income increased by $12.2 million, or 2641%, to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period the prior year. The increase in revenue recognized was due mainly to the recognition of the remaining $12.7 million of deferred SWK royalty revenue. On March 18, 2025, ANI announced that it completed the buyout of its 3.125% perpetual royalty obligation to SWK on worldwide net revenues of ILUVIEN
®
and YUTIQ
®
for a one-time payment of $17.25 million. Under the terms of the agreement, upon making the buyout payment, no further royalty is due to SWK on net revenues beginning January 1, 2025, forward. As a result, the Company terminated the RPA effective March 18, 2025.

Research and development expenses increased by $28.4 million, or 94%, to $58.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period the prior year. This increase was attributable primarily to (i) $28.5 million in increased clinical trial costs related to ongoing DURAVYU™ Phase 3 clinical trials (LUGANO and LUCIA) for wet AMD, (ii) $1.6 million higher clinical trial material expense for phase 3 clinical trials, (iii) $1.1 million higher facility and IT expenses offset by (iv) $2.9 million decrease in personnel costs driven by non-cash stock compensation. We anticipate clinical trial expenses will continue at similar levels in future periods due to our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses remained consistent and were immaterial, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period the prior year.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 2%, to $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period the prior year.
Interest (Expense) Income
Interest income from investments in marketable securities and institutional money market funds decreased by $0.4 million, or 10%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period the prior year. This decrease was due to lower interest earned on cash invested in marketable securities driven by a general decrease in market interest rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have had a history of operating losses and an absence of significant recurring cash inflows from revenue, and at March 31, 2025 we had a total accumulated deficit of $918.2 million. Our operations have been financed primarily from sales of our equity securities, issuance of debt and a combination of license fees, milestone payments, royalty income and other fees received from collaboration partners.
Financing Activities
In August 2020, the Company entered into an at-the-market facility (the ATM Facility) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co (Cantor). Pursuant to the ATM Facility, the Company may, at its option, offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time, through or to Cantor, acting as sales agent. The Company will pay Cantor a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from any future sales of such shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not sell any shares of our common stock under our ATM offering facility.
22
Future Funding Requirements
At March 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities of $318.2 million. We expect the cash, cash equivalents and investments on March 31, 2025 will enable us to fund operations into 2027. Due to the difficulty and uncertainty associated with the design and implementation of preclinical studies and clinical trials, we will continue to assess our cash and cash equivalents and future funding requirements. However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be achieved and that we will succeed in our future operations. We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue to develop our product candidates and seek marketing approval and, subject to obtaining such approval, the eventual commercialization of our product candidates. If we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing, and manufacturing expenses. We also expect to continue to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls, and similar requirements associated with operating as a public reporting company.
Actual cash requirements could differ from management’s projections due to many factors including additional investments in research and development programs, clinical trial expenses for DURAVYU™
and EYP-2301, competing technological and market developments and the costs of any strategic acquisitions and/or development of complementary business opportunities.
The amount of additional capital we will require will be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:
1.
the scope, progress, results, and costs of clinical trials of DURAVYU™, as an investigational sustained delivery intravitreal treatment deploying a bioerodible Durasert E™ insert of vorolanib, a selective and patented TKI targeting wet AMD and DME;
2.
our expectations regarding the timing and clinical development of our product candidates, including DURAVYU™ and EYP-2301;
3.
the duration, scope, and outcome of the DOJ Subpoena and its impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows;
4.
whether and to what extent we internally fund, whether and when we initiate, and how we conduct additional pipeline product development programs;
5.
payments we receive under any new collaboration agreements or payments expected from existing agreements;
6.
whether and when we are able to enter into strategic arrangements for our products or product candidates and the nature of those arrangements;
7.
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing any patent claims;
8.
the costs and timing to implement corrective and preventive actions required by the Warning Letter to the satisfaction of the FDA;
9.
the potential impact of disruptions at the FDA, including due to a reduction in the FDA’s workforce and/or inadequate funding for the FDA, on our business;
10.
changes in our operating plan, resulting in increases or decreases in our need for capital; and
11.
our views on the availability, timing, and desirability of raising capital.
We expect to seek additional funding to sustain our future operations and while we have successfully raised capital in the past, the ability to raise capital in future periods is not assured. We do not know if additional capital will be available when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. Collaboration, licensing or other agreements may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we seek to sell our equity securities, we do not know whether and to what extent we will be able to do so, or on what terms. If available, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and dilute our existing stockholders’ equity, and funding through collaboration, licensing or other commercial agreements may be on unfavorable terms, including requiring us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products. If adequate financing is not available if and when needed, we may delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development programs, if any, postpone or cancel the pursuit of product candidates, or otherwise significantly curtail our operations to reduce our cash requirements and extend our capital.

Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its desired objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
