Optinose Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Recent Operational Highlights

Company reports Q2 2024 XHANCE net revenue of $20.5 million, an increase of 5% compared to Q2 2023

XHANCE has been added to Express Scripts’ national formularies, among the largest commercial formularies in the U.S. with more than 24 million lives

Company narrows full year 2024 XHANCE net revenue guidance to be between $85.0 to $90.0 million and increases expected average net revenue per prescription guidance to be at least $250

Conference call and webcast to be held today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time

YARDLEY, Pa., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Optinose (NASDAQ:OPTN), a pharmaceutical company focused on patients treated by ear, nose and throat (ENT) and allergy specialists, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and provided recent operational highlights.

“This is the first quarter in which we are executing on the launch of our new first-and-only label indication for chronic sinusitis, also called chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps, which gives us access to a greatly expanded total addressable market,” stated CEO Ramy Mahmoud, MD, MPH. “We believe the addition of XHANCE to Express Scripts preferred formularies late in the second quarter is an example of gradually improving insurance barriers with our new first-and-only approval. Improving insurance barriers, in conjunction with consistent efforts to disseminate highly differentiated clinical results to both old and new prescribers, are important enablers of our future revenue growth trajectory."

Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights

Improved Formulary Access
In June 2024, the Company announced that XHANCE® has been added to Express Scripts’ national formularies, including the National Preferred, Flex, and Basic formularies, among the largest commercial formularies in the U.S. with more than 24 million lives.

$55 Million Registered Direct Offering
On May 10, 2024, the Company completed a registered direct offering of its common stock and pre-funded common stock warrants to a group of existing and new institutional investors that resulted in approximately $55 million of net proceeds to the Company. The Company expects that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operations and debt service obligations through 2025.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenues
The Company reported $20.5 million in net revenue from sales of XHANCE during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 5% compared to $19.5 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported $35.4 million in net revenue from sales of XHANCE, an increase of 13% compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.   

Costs and expenses and net loss
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses were $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $24.1 million and $44.6 million respectively for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $4.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, is primarily attributable to an increase in sales and marketing expenses related to the launch of XHANCE as the first and only FDA-approved drug treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and increased stock-based compensation expense.

The net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 was $7.6 million, or $0.07 per share (diluted). The net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was $21.6 million, or $0.17 per share (diluted).

Balance Sheet
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $91.4 million as of June 30, 2024.

About XHANCE
XHANCE is a drug-device combination product that uses the Exhalation Delivery System™ (also referred to as the EDS®) designed to deliver a topical steroid to the high and deep regions of the nasal cavity where sinuses ventilate and drain. XHANCE is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for both the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (also called chronic sinusitis) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (also called nasal polyps) in patients 18 years of age or older.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Hypersensitivity to any ingredient in XHANCE.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:

  • Local nasal adverse reactions, including epistaxis, erosion, ulceration, septal perforation, Candida albicans infection, and impaired wound healing, can occur. Monitor patients periodically for signs of possible changes on the nasal mucosa. Avoid use in patients with recent nasal ulcerations, nasal surgery, or nasal trauma until healing has occurred.
  • Glaucoma and cataracts may occur with long-term use. Consider referral to an ophthalmologist in patients who develop ocular symptoms or use XHANCE long-term.
  • Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, angioedema, urticaria, contact dermatitis, rash, hypotension, and bronchospasm) have been reported after administration of fluticasone propionate. Discontinue XHANCE if such reactions occur.
  • Immunosuppression and infections can occur, including potential increased susceptibility to or worsening of infections (e.g., existing tuberculosis; fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection; ocular herpes simplex). Use with caution in patients with these infections. More serious or even fatal course of chickenpox or measles can occur in susceptible patients.
  • Hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur with very high dosages or at the regular dosage in susceptible individuals. If such changes occur, discontinue XHANCE slowly.
  • Assess for decrease in bone mineral density initially and periodically thereafter.

ADVERSE REACTIONS:

  • Chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps: The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3%) are epistaxis, headache, and nasopharyngitis.
  • Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥3%) are epistaxis, nasal septal ulceration, nasopharyngitis, nasal mucosal erythema, nasal mucosal ulcerations, nasal congestion, acute sinusitis, nasal septal erythema, headache, and pharyngitis.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, ketoconazole): Use not recommended. May increase risk of systemic corticosteroid effects.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS: Hepatic impairment. Monitor patients for signs of increased drug exposure.
