Why Is Vision Disorder-Focused EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Stock Trading Higher Today?

EyePoint Pharmaceuticals Inc EYPT reported Q3 revenues of $15.20 million, up from $10 million a year ago and beating the $7.52 million consensus.

Net product revenue for the third quarter was $0.8 million, compared to $9.7 million a year ago. The decrease in net product revenue resulted from the sale of the Yutiq franchise in May 2023 and the discontinuation of DEXYCU commercialization activities in 2023.

Operating expenses reached $29.6 million compared with $28.4 million a year ago, primarily driven by R&D spending on the ongoing EYP-1901 clinical trials, partially offset by reduced sales and marketing expenses.

The company reported a smaller-than-expected EPS loss of 33 cents, beating the consensus loss of 51 cents.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $136 million will provide a cash runway into 2025.
