Krishnan, Chairman and CEO of Krystal Biotech. "Building on this foundation, our focus in 2025 will be on executing the global launch of VYJUVEK and progressing our rare disease and oncology programs through key milestones to bring our redosable genetic medicines closer to patients."

    VYJUVEK® (beremagene geperpavec-svdt, or B-VEC)

    for the Treatment of Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (DEB)

    • The Company recorded $91.1 million and $290.5 million in VYJUVEK net product revenue for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 95%.
    • As of February 2025, the Company has secured over 510 reimbursement approvals for VYJUVEK in the U.S. and continues to maintain strong access nationwide including positive access determinations for 97% of lives covered under commercial and Medicaid plans.
    • High patient compliance with weekly treatment while on drug continued at 85% as of the end of 2024.
    • The Company expects a Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use opinion on its European Marketing Authorization Application in 1Q 2025.
    • The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency's review of the Company's Japan New Drug Application is ongoing and on track for a decision in 2H 2025.

    Ophthalmology

    KB803 for ocular complications of DEB

    • The Company has enrolled approximately 50 DEB patients in an ongoing natural history study to prospectively collect data on the frequency of corneal abrasions in patients with DEB and serve as a run-in period for patients who may be eligible to participate in the Company's registrational Phase 3 study evaluating KB803 effect on corneal abrasions of DEB. The registrational Phase 3 study, IOLITE, is a single arm, open-label study that is expected to commence in 1H 2025.

    Pipeline expansion

    • The Company is actively evaluating multiple, internal preclinical-stage genetic medicine candidates for the treatment of diseases of the front and back of the eye.

    Respiratory

    KB407 for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF)

    • In January 2025, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) Therapeutic Development Network (TDN) Clinical Research Executive Committee granted full sanctioning of the Company's KB407 Phase 1 CORAL-1 study protocol.
    • In December 2024, the Company announced that single and repeat dosing of KB407 was safe and well-tolerated by patients in both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 of the ongoing KB407 Phase 1 CORAL-1 study. The Company expects to report interim molecular data for Cohort 3 patients in mid-2025. CORAL-1 is a multi-center, dose escalation study evaluating KB407 in patients with CF, regardless of their underlying genotype. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT05504837.

    KB408 for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) lung disease

    • In December 2024, the Company announced successful SERPINA1 gene delivery and functional alpha-1 antitrypsin expression reaching therapeutic levels as part of an interim clinical update for Cohorts 1 and 2 of its ongoing KB408 Phase 1 SERPENTINE-1 study. Inhaled KB408 was safe and well-tolerated at both tested dose levels. Based on this promising initial data, the Company has simultaneously expanded Cohort 2 and opened Cohort 3 of SERPENTINE-1 for more comprehensive molecular assessments at both dose levels and expects to report results from both cohorts in 2H 2025. SERPENTINE-1 is an open label, single dose escalation study in adult patients with AATD with a Pi*ZZ or a Pi*ZNull genotype. Details about the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier: NCT06049082.

    Oncology

    Inhaled KB707 for the treatment of solid tumors of the lung

    • In December 2024, the Company announced an initial clinical update for the monotherapy dose escalation and expansion cohorts of KYANITE-1, an ongoing, Phase 1/2 open label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study evaluating inhaled KB707, as monotherapy or in combination, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors of the lung. Early clinical evidence of monotherapy activity was observed in heavily pre-treated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with inhaled KB707, achieving an objective response rate of 27% and disease control rate of 73% as of data cut-off. Inhaled KB707 was also reported to be safe and generally well tolerated and amenable to administration in an outpatient setting, with no Grade 4 or 5 adverse events observed. Enrollment in KYANITE-1 is ongoing. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT06228326.

    Intratumoral KB707 for the treatment of injectable solid tumors

    • The Company continues to enroll in OPAL-1, a Phase 1/2 open label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study evaluating intratumoral KB707, either as monotherapy or in combination, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor malignancies. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT05970497.

    Aesthetics

    KB301 for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the décolleté

    • Building on the previously reported positive interim safety and efficacy results for KB301 in the treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the décolleté, Jeune Aesthetics, Inc. ("Jeune Aesthetics"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has initiated development of a décolleté-specific evaluation scale necessary for advanced clinical development. Jeune Aesthetics expects to complete scale development and dose the first subject in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluating KB301 for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles of the décolleté in 2H 2025.

    KB304 for the treatment of aesthetic indications

    • In November 2024, Jeune Aesthetics dosed the first subject in an ongoing, randomized and placebo-controlled Phase 1 study PEARL-2 evaluating its second clinical-stage investigational aesthetic product KB304 for the treatment of wrinkles. KB304 was developed using the Company's novel replication-defective, non-integrating HSV-1-based vector and is designed to deliver COL3A1 and ELN transgenes following intradermal injection to increase both type III collagen and elastin levels in aging skin. Jeune Aesthetics expects to report top-line results from the study in 2H 2025. Details of the study can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier NCT06724900.

    Financial Guidance

    ($ in millions) FY 2025 Guidance
    Non-GAAP Research and Development ("R&D") and Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expense(1) $150.0 - $175.0

    (1) Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for additional information. Non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense guidance does not include stock-based compensation as we are currently unable to confidently estimate Full Year 2025 stock-based compensation expense. As such, we have not provided a reconciliation from forecasted non-GAAP to forecasted GAAP combined R&D and SG&A Expense in the above. This could materially affect the calculation of forward-looking GAAP combined R&D and SG&A Expense as it is inherently uncertain.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Any statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects for Krystal Biotech, Inc. or Jeune Aesthetics, Inc., including statements about the commercial launch of VYJUVEK in the United States; potential marketing authorizations for B-VEC in Europe and Japan, including timing of regulatory approvals; the Company's expectations regarding reporting interim molecular data from Cohort 3 of the Company's KB407 clinical trial; the Company's expectations regarding reporting results from Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 of the Company's KB408 clinical trial; the timing of scale development and dosing the first subject in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluating KB301; the expected timing of reporting top-line results from Jeune Aesthetics' KB304 study; the expected timing of initiation of the Phase 2 portion of the KB105 Phase 1/2 study; and other statements containing the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "target," "potential," "likely," "will," "would," "could," "should," "continue," and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including: uncertainties associated with regulatory review of clinical trials and applications for marketing approvals; the availability or commercial potential of VYJUVEK or product candidates; and such other important factors as are set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual and quarterly reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this press release represent the Company's views as of the date of this press release. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release includes forward-looking combined R&D and SG&A expense guidance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to R&D and SG&A expense or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense as GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense excluding stock-based compensation. The Company cautions investors that amounts presented in accordance with its definition of non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by competitors because not all companies calculate this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner. The Company presents this non-GAAP financial measure because it considers this measure to be an important supplemental measure and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company's industry. Management believes that investors' understanding of the Company's performance is enhanced by including this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing the Company's ongoing results of operations. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's internal annual operating budget and financial projections; to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Company's operational strategies; and to evaluate the Company's capacity to expand its business. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or a substitute for R&D and SG&A expense or other financial statement data presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense to forecasted GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate the reconciling item, stock-based compensation expenses, with confidence. This item, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense, is inherently uncertain and depends on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company's control.
