  • New prescriptions showed 20-40% growth in October 2024
  • Q3 2024 resulted in net income of $0.5 million
  • Strong cash position with $82.5 million in cash and cash equivalents
Negative
  • Reduced full-year 2024 XHANCE revenue guidance from $85-90M to $75-79M
  • Nine-month net loss of $21.2 million
  • Company faces potential non-compliance with financial covenants
  • Substantial doubt about company's ability to continue as going concern

Insights

The Q3 results and revised guidance present significant concerns. Revenue growth of only 3% to $20.4M fell short of expectations, leading to a substantial downward revision in full-year guidance from $85-90M to $75-79M. While new prescriptions showed a positive inflection in September with a 20-40% increase, the company faces serious financial challenges.

The going concern warning is particularly troubling, indicating potential covenant compliance issues with their debt agreement. Despite having $82.5M in cash, the classification of all debt as current liabilities and negative stockholders' equity of $41.1M signals significant financial strain. The reduced operating expense guidance to $90-93M suggests cost-cutting measures, but may not be enough to address underlying financial challenges.

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.

  • 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.
