InSite Vision Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- InSite Vision Incorporated (OTCBB: INSV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were $5.3 million compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2012. Net loss for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.9 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter 2012.
"So far, 2013 has been a year of significant milestones for InSite Vision," said Timothy Ruane, InSite's Chief Executive Officer. "In March, we reported positive top-line results from our first pivotal study of BromSite to treat ocular inflammation and pain following cataract surgery, a market that we believe provides a significant growth opportunity due to an increasing aging population. In addition, we expect to report Phase 3 data from our DOUBle study product candidates, AzaSite Plus and DexaSite, late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2013. As we advance our late-stage product development programs, InSite Vision continues to innovate in the field of ophthalmic therapeutics, and we are presenting data from clinical- and preclinical-stage programs at the 2013 ARVO Annual Meeting."
2013 Corporate and Commercial Highlights
In March 2013, InSite announced positive results from the company's first Phase 3 clinical trial of BromSite™ (0.075% bromfenac in DuraSite®) demonstrating statistically significant superiority (p < 0.001) compared to vehicle in alleviating ocular pain and inflammation among patients following cataract surgery. The BromSite Phase 3 clinical trial enrolled 268 patients undergoing cataract surgery in a two-arm trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BromSite against the DuraSite vehicle alone. InSite plans to start the second Phase 3 clinical trial of BromSite in the second quarter of 2013.
InSite Vision completed patient treatment and follow-up in the DOUBle Phase 3 clinical trial of AzaSite Plus™ (dexamethasone 0.1% and azithromycin 1% in DuraSite) and DexaSite™ (dexamethasone 0.1% in DuraSite) for the treatment of blepharitis. The study enrolled more than 900 patients with moderate-to-severe blepharitis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AzaSite Plus and DexaSite product candidates simultaneously. Patients received AzaSite Plus, DexaSite, AzaSite® or DuraSite vehicle twice-daily for 14 days with six months of follow-up. InSite anticipates announcing top-line data from the Phase 3 DOUBle study late in the second quarter or early in third quarter of 2013.
In the first quarter of 2013, InSite recorded $0.5 million in royalty revenues associated with Besivance® (besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension) 0.6%, compared to $0.4 million in same period of 2012. Besivance is marketed globally by Bausch + Lomb for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis. In April 2013, InSite sold its right to receive royalty payments on sales of Besivance, beginning January 1, 2013, for $15 million, with an additional $1 million payable in 2014 if Besivance net sales reach certain pre-determined levels in 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, if the purchaser receives specified levels of total cash from the Besivance royalty payments, the royalty would be returned to InSite in whole or in part. Patent protection for Besivance in the United States expires in 2021.
AzaSite earned royalties for the first quarter 2013 were $1.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the same period of 2012. Included in the AzaSite royalties for the first quarter of 2013 was a $3.4 million minimum royalty true-up by Merck & Co. (Merck) required under the companies' commercial licensing agreement. AzaSite is marketed in the U.S. by Merck for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis.
In March 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the ruling of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) panel of judges which found in favor of InSite in its patent interference litigation with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and confirmed the inventorship of InSite Vision's U.S. Patents Nos. 6,239,113 and 6,569,443 protecting AzaSite, AzaSite Xtra™ and AzaSite Plus. The time period for UCSF to further appeal this decision has lapsed.
Gholam A. Peyman, M.D., joined InSite Vision's Scientific Advisory Board in the first quarter. Dr. Peyman is a recipient of the national medal of technology and innovation and the inventor of Lasik eye surgery.
First Quarter 2013 Results Summary
Total revenues increased to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2012. Earned royalties from Merck for net sales of AzaSite were $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the first quarter of 2013, royalties from Merck included a $3.4 million minimum royalty true-up. The increase in royalties was driven by an increase in the required minimum royalty to $19 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, which was amended to be paid on a quarterly basis starting in the third quarter of 2012. In addition, a decline in earned royalties from net sales of AzaSite by Merck further increased the minimum royalty true-up. For the first quarter of 2013, royalties from net sales of Besivance increased to $0.5 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2012. As discussed above, in April 2013, InSite sold the royalty on sales of Besivance, beginning on January 1, 2013, for $15 million. Under the terms of the agreement, if the purchaser receives specified levels of total cash from the Besivance royalty, the royalty could be returned to InSite in whole or in part.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $3.4 million compared to $4.0 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily related to timing of the DOUBle Phase 3 clinical trial and the BromSite Phase 3 clinical trial. Both clinical trials completed patient enrollment in the second half of 2012. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.5 million compared to $1.4 million in the same period in 2012.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2013 was $1.9 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter 2012. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by an increase in minimum royalties from Merck.
As of March 31, 2013, InSite had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $4.5 million, prior to the cash receipt of the $15 million from the sale of the Besivance royalty in early April 2013. Total cash usage in the first quarter of 2013 was $4.9 million.
