Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you explain the significant improvement in VEVYE's gross-to-net revenue and the drivers behind it? A: Mark Baum, CEO, explained that VEVYE's revenue more than tripled, with a considerable improvement in ASP due to changes in business rules and fewer copay buy downs. The demand for VEVYE increased significantly, and the new VEVYE Access for All program is expected to further boost growth.

Q: What impact do you expect the VEVYE Access for All program to have on market access and prescription volumes? A: Mark Baum, CEO, stated that the program opens access to all patients, regardless of insurance status, and aims to reduce costs for patients. It is expected to expand the prescription market and increase Harrow's market share in the US dry eye prescription market.

Q: What should we expect for SG&A growth and cash flow conversion in 2025? A: Andrew Boll, CFO, indicated that SG&A growth should be modeled based on the second half of 2024, with a focus on operating leverage. The company expects most of the EBITDA to convert to cash flow, with some impact from taxes.

Q: Can you provide insights into the extended payment terms with distributors and its impact on accounts receivable? A: Andrew Boll, CFO, explained that the extended terms are tied to buy and bill products like TRIESENCE and IHEEZO, allowing end users to complete their revenue cycle before payment. This approach became more pronounced with the introduction of TRIESENCE.

Q: What are the strategic plans for the next generation of TRIESENCE, and how will it impact the market? A: Mark Baum, CEO, mentioned that while specifics can't be disclosed due to competitive reasons, the next generation TRIESENCE is being developed based on market research and customer needs. It is expected to provide a competitive advantage and contribute to long-term sales growth.
