Insights

The Q4 and FY2024 results demonstrate Krystal Biotech's exceptional execution in commercializing VYJUVEK. The 116% YoY revenue growth to $91.1 million in Q4, coupled with a 473% increase in annual revenue to $290.5 million, showcases strong market adoption and execution capability. The 95% gross margin is particularly impressive, significantly exceeding typical biotech industry margins of 60-80%, indicating highly efficient manufacturing processes and strong pricing power.

The robust cash position of $749.6 million provides approximately 4-5 years of runway at current burn rates, offering ample resources to advance the diverse pipeline across ophthalmology, respiratory, and oncology indications. The company's ability to secure over 510 reimbursement approvals and achieve 97% coverage under commercial and Medicaid plans demonstrates exceptional market access strategy execution.

The financial metrics reveal strong operational leverage, with net income reaching $45.5 million in Q4 2024, a 423% increase from the previous year. This profitability achievement is remarkable for a commercial-stage biotech company, particularly given the substantial ongoing R&D investments across multiple programs. The 85% patient compliance rate suggests strong product satisfaction and potential for recurring revenue streams.

Looking ahead, the 2025 non-GAAP R&D and SG&A guidance of $150-175 million indicates disciplined cost management while maintaining aggressive pipeline advancement. The pending European and Japanese regulatory decisions for VYJUVEK could unlock significant additional market opportunities, potentially accelerating revenue growth trajectory in the near term.

The registrational Phase 3 study, IOLITE, is a single arm, open-label study that is expected to commence in 1H 2025.

Pipeline expansion

  • The Company is actively evaluating multiple, internal preclinical-stage genetic medicine candidates for the treatment of diseases of the front and back of the eye.

  • In December 2024, the Company announced that single and repeat dosing of KB407 was safe and well-tolerated by patients in both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 of the ongoing KB407 Phase 1 CORAL-1 study. The Company expects to report interim molecular data for Cohort 3 patients in mid-2025. CORAL-1 is a multi-center, dose escalation study evaluating KB407 in patients with CF, regardless of their underlying genotype. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT05504837.

KB408 for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) lung disease

Forward-Looking Statements
Any statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects for Krystal Biotech, Inc. or Jeune Aesthetics, Inc., including statements about the commercial launch of VYJUVEK in the United States; potential marketing authorizations for B-VEC in Europe and Japan, including timing of regulatory approvals; the Company’s expectations regarding reporting interim molecular data from Cohort 3 of the Company’s KB407 clinical trial; the Company’s expectations regarding reporting results from Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 of the Company’s KB408 clinical trial; the timing of scale development and dosing the first subject in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluating KB301; the expected timing of reporting top-line results from Jeune Aesthetics’ KB304 study; the expected timing of initiation of the Phase 2 portion of the KB105 Phase 1/2 study; and other statements containing the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including: uncertainties associated with regulatory review of clinical trials and applications for marketing approvals; the availability or commercial potential of VYJUVEK or product candidates; and such other important factors as are set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release represent the Company’s views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes forward-looking combined R&D and SG&A expense guidance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to R&D and SG&A expense or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense as GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense excluding stock-based compensation. The Company cautions investors that amounts presented in accordance with its definition of non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by competitors because not all companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it considers this measure to be an important supplemental measure and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by including this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing the Company’s ongoing results of operations. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company’s internal annual operating budget and financial projections; to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company’s operational strategies; and to evaluate the Company’s capacity to expand its business. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for R&D and SG&A expense or other financial statement data presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense to forecasted GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate the reconciling item, stock-based compensation expenses, with confidence. This item, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense, is inherently uncertain and depends on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control.
