Exhibit 99.1

Sight Sciences Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

and Withdraws Guidance for Full Year 2023

 

MENLO PARK, Calif., November 7, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT) ("Sight Sciences" or the "Company"), an eyecare technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative technology intended to transform care and improve patients' lives, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and withdrew its guidance for full year 2023.

 

Recent Business and Financial Highlights

Generated third quarter 2023 total revenue of $20.0 million, an increase of 7% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Achieved total gross margin of 86.6% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 84.3% in the same period in the prior year.
Appointed new Chief Commercial Officer, Matt Link, to lead commercial strategy and advance growth initiatives.
Implemented a plan to reduce operating expenses, improve cost efficiencies, and further extend cash runway with an approximate 10% reduction in force (estimated $7.9 million annualized savings) and other cost saving initiatives (estimated $5.0 million annualized savings).

Market Access and Clinical Data Updates

The Company is taking concerted action to address a recently published LCD that would limit Medicare patient access to an established and efficacious procedure, and intends to pursue all appropriate remediation possibilities to maintain coverage. On October 26, 2023, WPS Government Health Administrators (“WPS”), a Medicare Administrative Contractor (“MAC”), published an LCD with an effective date of December 24, 2023. The LCD identifies certain procedures as investigational in patients over the age of 18 for glaucoma management, including canaloplasty in combination with trabeculotomy ab interno which is a procedural description WPS associated with the Company’s OMNI® Surgical System (“OMNI”). The Company strongly believes the LCD’s characterization of canaloplasty in combination with trabeculotomy ab interno as investigational, is fundamentally inconsistent with the procedure's robust body of clinical evidence and physician practice patterns.
GEMINI 2, a prospective, multi-center study to obtain 36-month follow-up for patients treated in the original 12-month GEMINI study has been completed and favorable results demonstrate sustained IOP and medication reduction at 36 months. These results have been submitted for peer-reviewed publication.
New large-scale real world clinical data for MIGS performed in combination with cataract surgery was presented at the 41st Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons demonstrating the TCOR procedure using OMNI technology had the greatest numerical reduction in both IOP and IOP-reducing medications for both high and low baseline IOP cohorts compared to Hydrus® Microstent and iStent inject®, measured at two years.
Six-month results of the SAHARA randomized controlled clinical trial were presented at the American Academy of Optometry Annual Meeting and the American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting demonstrating interventional eyelid procedures for dry eye disease enabled by TearCare® technology were superior at all measured time points to Restasis prescription eyedrops for the improvement of tear break up time, the trial’s primary objective endpoint.

"We are extremely disappointed with the final MIGS LCD published by WPS. We believe it is fundamentally flawed and does not take into account the strong clinical efficacy profile of canaloplasty in combination with trabeculotomy ab interno. We are steadfast in our belief that this procedure should continue to be reimbursed, and are actively engaged with the MACs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, ophthalmic societies, and surgeons to address the flaws in the LCD and explore every option to maintain reimbursed access, including upcoming publications of our compelling real-world MIGS IRIS® Registry study and prospective GEMINI clinical study," said Paul Badawi, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sight Sciences. "In response to the uncertainties arising out of the draft LCDs published by five MACs in June of 2023, we have taken steps to reduce our operating expenses, including a reorganization of our commercial teams to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, that are intended to extend our cash runway while driving increased focus on our key strategic priorities. We will continue to optimize and streamline our operations given the ongoing reimbursement uncertainty."

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $20.0 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Surgical Glaucoma revenue was $18.4 million, an increase of 8% versus the comparable period in the prior year. The Company believes that, while customer retention remained strong, the uncertainty resulting from the proposed LCDs published by WPS and four other MACs in June 2023 and stronger seasonality were the primary drivers of relatively flat utilization and lower new account additions. Dry Eye revenue was $1.6 million, a decrease of 1% from the comparable period in the prior year. The Company believes the decline was primarily due to the evolution of its commercial strategy which emphasizes driving higher utilization within existing accounts to cultivate long-term recurring revenue, and more pronounced seasonality patterns resulting in fewer procedures performed during the summer months.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2023 was $17.3 million compared to $15.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the third quarter was 86.6%, compared to 84.3% in the same period in the prior year. Gross margin improvement was attributable to growth in both Surgical Glaucoma and Dry Eye gross margin. Surgical Glaucoma gross margin improved primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies generated because of higher production volumes, partially offset by lower average selling price due to product mix. Dry Eye gross margin improved primarily due to lower manufacturing costs, an increased mix of higher gross margin SmartLids® versus SmartHubs™, and higher average selling price of SmartHubs.

Total operating expenses were $30.7 million for the third quarter of 2023 representing an 18% decrease compared to $37.6 million in the same period in the prior year, reflecting improved operating expense leverage. The decrease in operating expenses in the comparable periods was primarily driven by $3.6 million lower personnel-related expenses (including lower incentive-based commission expense of $1.9 million mostly due to lower than expected revenue, and $0.9 million of restructuring costs incurred in the third quarter of 2022 that did not repeat this quarter). In addition, clinical trial costs were $1.2 million lower than in the same period in the prior year. Adjusted operating expenses1 were $26.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, down from $33.3 million in the same period in the prior year.

 

Net loss was $13.0 million ($0.27 per share) in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $22.2 million ($0.46 per share) in the same period in the prior year.

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $144.5 million and long-term debt was $35.0 million (before debt discount and amortized debt issuance costs) as of September 30, 2023. Cash used in the quarter totaled $10.0 million, reflecting continued operational discipline and a sequential improvement from $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

 

2023 Financial Guidance

Sight Sciences withdraws its previous full year 2023 revenue and adjusted operating expense guidance expectations due to the uncertainty caused by the final LCD published by WPS and the proposed LCDs issued by four other MACs.

 

 


https://cdn.kscope.io/d2e78995d72e328c3b4f9eb8fb2e8412-img169022213_0.jpg 

The Company expects to record a cash restructuring charge of approximately $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, consisting primarily of one-time employee severance and benefits contribution costs, which will be reflected in the calculation of adjusted operating expenses for the period.

 

The Company estimates the annualized savings from the reduction in force will be $7.9 million and that the annualized savings from the other cost saving initiatives will be $5.0 million, with such savings primarily being realized beginning in 2024.

 

The Company's outlook for cash restructuring charges and annualized savings are forward-looking in nature, reflecting our expectations as of the date of this press release and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties that limit our ability to accurately forecast results. This outlook assumes no meaningful changes to the Company's business prospects or risks and uncertainties identified by management that could impact future results, which include but are not limited to, changes to: coverage decisions or reimbursement rates for the Company’s products; the competitive environment; economic conditions; and geopolitical tensions.

 

 

 

 

 

1“Adjusted operating expense” is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated as operating expenses less stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, and restructuring costs. Please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain financial measures, including adjusted operating expenses, were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("non-GAAP financial measures") and are presented in this press release to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company's financial and operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important performance indicators because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company's core financial and operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, it expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the table titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation" attached to this press release.

Slide 7

POAG is similar to a clog in a kitchen sink: when the eye’s natural drainage system (known as the trabeculocanalicular outflow pathway) is blocked and aqueous fluid cannot drain, intraocular pressure (IOP) rises which can cause optic nerve damage and irreversible blindness The Trabeculocanalicular Outflow Pathway is an important focal point in treating POAG Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma 1 2 3 Drain Cover (trabecular meshwork): allows excess aqueous fluid to enter drainage system Sink Pipe (Schlemm’s Canal): conducts excess aqueous fluid to exit pathways known as distal collector channels House Plumbing (distal collector channels): leads excess aqueous fluid out of the eye into the venous system 1 2 3 1 TRABECULAR MESHWORK SCHLEMM’S CANAL DISTAL COLLECTOR CHANNELS 2 3 7
