Sight Sciences Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and

Initiates Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

 

MENLO PARK, Calif., March 7, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT) ("Sight Sciences" or the "Company"), an eyecare technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative, interventional technologies intended to transform care and improve patients' lives, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, and initiated financial guidance for full year 2024.

 

Recent Financial Highlights

Generated full year 2023 total revenue of $81.1 million, an increase of 14% compared to full year 2022 and generated fourth quarter 2023 total revenue of $18.8 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Reduced fourth quarter 2023 operating expenses to $27.1 million, a reduction of $6.8 million, or 20%, and reduced non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses1,2 to $22.3 million, a reduction of $8.3 million, or 27%, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Reduced cash used in 2023 to $46.9 million, reflecting continued operational discipline and an improvement from $75.7 million cash used in 2022. Reduced cash used to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $10.0 million used in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 36%, and $14.8 million used in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 57%.
In January 2024, announced the closing of a senior secured credit facility for up to $65.0 million with Hercules Capital, including an initially funded $35.0 million tranche under the facility, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet with improved commercial terms while maintaining current debt outstanding.

 

Recent Business and Clinical Highlights

Maintained Medicare patient access to the OMNI® Surgical System (“OMNI”) and the SION® Surgical Instrument (“SION”) following a comprehensive review and subsequent withdrawal of final local coverage determinations (“LCDs”) by five Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs”), resulting in no change to the current Medicare coverage for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (“MIGS”) procedures.
GEMINI 2, a three-year, prospective, multicenter, medication washout clinical trial was published in Clinical Ophthalmology, demonstrating OMNI procedures delivered sustained and significant intraocular pressure (mean of 29% IOP reduction at 36 months) and medication reductions (74% of study patients medication-free at 36 months).
SAHARA, a six-month, multicenter, randomized controlled trial was published in Clinical Ophthalmology, demonstrating successful clinical trial results comparing our TearCare® technology to Restasis® for the treatment of Dry Eye Disease, showing interventional eyelid procedures enabled by TearCare technology successfully delivered clinically and statistically significant improvements in every sign and symptom at all measured time points through six months.

 

Management Commentary

"We are extremely proud of our achievements in 2023 and our team’s remarkable resilience, focus, and determination throughout a challenging LCD process in the back half of the year that ultimately resulted in the LCDs being withdrawn. We added highly experienced medtech growth leadership to our team, restructured our commercial organization for both increased efficiency and effectiveness, and meaningfully reduced our cash burn during a transient period of uncertainty, which I believe will lead to predictable

long-term results as we enter our next exciting phase of transformative growth,” said Paul Badawi, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sight Sciences.

“We believe we have multiple catalysts to be excited about in 2024. We plan to expand the library of clinical data demonstrating the differentiated safety and efficacy profiles of our interventional glaucoma and dry eye technologies, make significant progress towards meaningful reimbursement for TearCare, and based on the productive start to the year we expect to return to double-digit revenue growth in the second half of 2024 with our elevated commercial infrastructure and strategy,” continued Mr. Badawi.

 

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $18.8 million, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Surgical Glaucoma revenue was $17.2 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the same period in the prior year. While customer retention was solid, the uncertainty resulting from the LCDs, which have now been withdrawn, was the primary driver of lower utilization and new account additions in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus the same period in the prior year. Dry Eye revenue was $1.6 million, a decrease of 11% from the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to the evolution of the Company’s commercialization strategy for its Dry Eye segment, which emphasizes driving higher utilization within existing accounts to cultivate long-term recurring revenue, and the reduced sales infrastructure implemented as a result of the Company’s reorganization and cost-reduction measures taken in October 2023.

 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $16.0 million compared to $16.9 million in the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 85%, compared to 82% in the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a prior year inventory charge for legacy components in the Company’s Surgical Glaucoma segment and continued manufacturing efficiencies compared to the prior year, partially offset by product sales mix. Surgical Glaucoma gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased to 88%, compared to 84% in the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by the prior year inventory charge described above and manufacturing efficiencies compared to the prior year, partially offset by production variances and lower ASPs due to product sales mix. Dry Eye gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 declined to 53%, compared to 59% in the same period in the prior year, primarily due to inventory reserve charges in the current period, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies compared to the prior year.

Total operating expenses were $27.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 representing a 20% decrease compared to $33.9 million in the same period in the prior year, which reflects reduced research and development operating expenses and selling, general, and administrative operating expenses in the comparative periods, and improved operating expense leverage. Research and development expenses were $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $5.2 million in the same period in the prior year, representing a 35% decrease in the comparative periods. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $23.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $28.7 million in the same period in the prior year, representing an 18% decrease in the comparative periods. Adjusted operating expenses1,2 were $22.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, down from $30.6 million in the same period in the prior year.

 

Net loss was $10.7 million ($0.22 per share) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $16.9 million ($0.35 per share) in the same period in the prior year.

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $138.1 million and total long-term debt was $35.0 million (before debt discount and amortized debt issuance costs) as of December 31, 2023, compared to $144.5 million and $35.0 million respectively as of September 30, 2023. Cash used in the quarter totaled $6.4 million, reflecting continued operational discipline and a sequential improvement from $10.0 million cash used in the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease versus the comparative period in the prior year where cash used in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $14.8 million.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for full year 2023 was $81.1 million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 14%, compared to full year 2022. Surgical Glaucoma revenue was $74.3 million, an increase of 13% compared to the prior year, and Dry Eye revenue was $6.7 million, an increase of 18% compared to the prior year.

 

Gross profit for full year 2023 was $69.2 million, compared to $59.0 million in 2022. Gross margin for the full year 2023 was 85%, compared to 83% in the prior year. Gross margin improvement was primarily attributable to manufacturing cost reductions and higher production volumes covering largely fixed allocated manufacturing overhead.

Total operating expenses were $126.4 million in 2023, representing a 12% decrease compared to $142.9 million in 2022, reflecting reduced research and development operating expenses and selling, general, and administrative operating expenses in the comparative periods, and improved operating expense leverage. Adjusted operating expenses1,2 were $110.3 million for full year 2023, down from $128.5 million in the prior year.

 

Net loss was $55.5 million ($1.14 per share) for full year 2023, as compared to $86.2 million ($1.80 per share) in 2022.

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $138.1 million and total long-term debt was $35.0 million (before debt discount and amortized debt issuance costs) as of December 31, 2023, compared to $185.0 million and $35.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Cash used in full year 2023 totaled $46.9 million, reflecting continued operational discipline and an improvement from $75.7 million cash used in 2022.

 

Subsequent to year end, the Company announced the closing of a new senior secured credit facility of up to $65.0 million. The Company drew an initial $35.0 million from the facility to refinance its existing senior credit facility while maintaining its current debt outstanding. The new facility provides the Company the ability to draw up to an additional $30.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

2024 Financial Guidance

Sight Sciences projects revenue for full year 2024 to range from approximately $81.0 million to $85.0 million, representing a range of 0% to 5% growth compared to 2023. The Company expects double-digit revenue growth in the second half of 2024 versus the comparable periods in the prior year as it regains commercial momentum and expands utilization and its customer base.

 

The Company expects full year 2024 adjusted operating expenses1,3 of approximately $107.0 million to $110.0 million, representing a range of 0% to 3% decline compared to 2023, with higher first quarter adjusted operating expenses expected primarily due to higher legal expenses for pending litigation.

 

The Company's full year 2024 financial guidance is forward-looking in nature, reflecting our expectations as of March 7, 2024, 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 in the reimbursement environment, including coverage decisions and reimbursement rates; the outcome of clinical trials; the outcome of legal proceedings or regulatory matters; changes in economic conditions, including discretionary spending and inflationary pressures; and supply chain disruptions, constraints and related expenses.

 

 

 

1 “Adjusted operating expenses” is a financial measure not prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP,” and such measure, a “non-GAAP financial measure”), and is calculated as operating expenses less stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, and restructuring costs. Please see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for additional information.

2 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.

3 Consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in the applicable regulations, because there is substantial uncertainty associated with predicting any future adjustments that may be made to the Company’s GAAP financial measures in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures.

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating expenses 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.

Investor Presentation March 2024


Slide 2

Forward-Looking Statements This presentation, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations, product development, market opportunity, clinical trial results and timeline, and business strategy and plans. The forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following: the Company's mission; the Company's projected financial or operational results; estimates of the Company’s addressable markets for its products; the Company’s ability to gain share in existing markets and enter into and compete in new markets; the Company’s ability to successfully develop and commercialize its product pipeline; the Company’s ability to compete effectively; the Company’s ability to manage and grow its business, including execution of value creation initiatives; the Company’s ability to successfully execute its clinical trial roadmap; the Company’s ability to successfully execute its strategic initiatives and objectives; and the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain sufficient reimbursement for its products. These statements often include words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” and other similar expressions. Management bases these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, plans and assumptions affecting the Company’s business and industry, and such statements are based on information available to it as of the time such statements are made. Although management believes these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. Forward-looking statements are subject to and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements predicted, assumed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as such may be updated from time to time in subsequent filings. These cautionary statements should not be construed by you to be exhaustive and are made only as of the date of this presentation. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Certain information contained in this presentation relates to, or is based on, studies, publications, surveys and other data obtained from third-party sources and the Company’s own internal estimates and research. While the Company believes these third-party sources to be reliable, it has not independently verified, and makes no representation as to the adequacy, fairness, accuracy or completeness of, any information obtained from third-party sources. In addition, all of the market data included in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions. Finally, while the Company believes its own estimates and research are reliable, such estimates and research have not been verified by any independent source. The Company has proprietary rights to trademarks, trade names and service marks appearing in this presentation that are important to its business. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, trade names and service marks may appear in this presentation without the ® and ™ symbols, but any such references are not intended to indicate that the Company forgoes or will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its rights or the rights of the applicable licensors to these trademarks, trade names and service marks. All trademarks, trade names and service marks appearing in this presentation are the property of their respective owners. The Company does not intend its use or display of other parties’ trademarks, trade names or service marks to imply, and such use or display should not be construed to imply, a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of the Company by, these other parties. Without limitation, SIGHT SCIENCES™, SIGHT SCIENCES (with design)®, OMNI®, SION®, TEARCARE® , SMARTLIDS® and DELIVERING THE POWER OF SIGHT ™ are trademarks of Sight Sciences, Inc. in the United States and other countries. RESTASIS® is a registered trademark of Allergan, Inc., and IRIS® is a registered trademark of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Certain financial measures, including adjusted operating expenses (“non-GAAP financial measures”), were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP") and are presented in this presentation 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 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. Consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in the applicable regulations, because there is substantial uncertainty associated with predicting any future adjustments that may be made to the Company’s GAAP financial measures in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures. 2

POAG is similar to a clog in a kitchen sink: when the eye’s natural drainage system (known as the conventional outflow pathway) is blocked and aqueous fluid cannot drain, intraocular pressure (IOP) rises which can cause optic nerve damage and irreversible blindness The Conventional Outflow Pathway is an important focal point in treating POAG Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma 3 1 2 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 Drain Cover (trabecular meshwork): allows excess aqueous fluid to enter drainage system 1 2 3 3 TRABECULAR MESHWORK SCHLEMM’S CANAL DISTAL COLLECTOR CHANNELS 1 2 7
