Q: Can you provide an overview of Visioneering Technologies' flagship product and its target markets? A: Visioneering Technologies' flagship product is the NaturalVue Multifocal, a daily disposable soft contact lens. It targets two main patient populations: children with pediatric myopia progression and adults over 40 with presbyopia. The market for these conditions is expected to grow significantly, with pediatric myopia affecting up to 90% of children in parts of Asia and 40% in the US, and presbyopia affecting almost all older adults.
Q: What are the recent developments in Visioneering Technologies' international expansion efforts? A: Visioneering Technologies has signed agreements with a third-party logistics company in Europe and a new distribution partner in South Africa. Additionally, the NaturalVue Multifocal 1 Day contact lens received regulatory approval in Vietnam, and the company has reached distribution agreements in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Q: How did Visioneering Technologies perform financially in the fourth quarter of 2024? A: The net revenue for the quarter was $1.8 million, a 4% decrease from Q4 of the previous year. However, shipments to US eye care professionals (ECPs) increased by 6%. Year-to-date net revenue was $8.8 million, up 1% from the prior year, with shipments to ECPs up 4%. The company ended the quarter with $649,000 in cash and plans to explore additional financing.
Q: What were the key findings from the recent clinical studies on NaturalVue Multifocal lenses? A: The studies showed that NaturalVue Multifocal lenses can correct astigmatism up to 2.00 diopters, covering over 90% of the general population's astigmatism distribution. The lenses demonstrated continuous retardation of myopia progression and minimal axial length growth over 24 months, indicating their effectiveness in slowing myopia progression.
Q: What strategic initiatives has Visioneering Technologies undertaken to strengthen its sales team? A: Visioneering Technologies has expanded its US sales team by hiring a third new sales representative in the northeastern part of the country. This effort, which began last year, aims to strengthen both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the sales team to better serve the growing market demand.
