Hosting conference call and webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET

Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:XERS), a growth-oriented biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patient lives by developing and commercializing innovative products across a range of therapies, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 and corporate highlights.

"We posted another record quarter of revenue due to the continued strong demand of all three products, as well as contributions from our partnerships," said Paul R. Edick, Chairman and CEO of Xeris Biopharma. "Our differentiated business model, exceptional year-to-date performance, and expectations for the remainder of the year gives us the confidence to tighten our 2023 guidance by raising the low end of the total revenue range to $145 to $165 million from $135 to $165 million; reducing cash utilization range to $57 to $67 million from $57 to $77 million; improving year-end cash range to $55 to $65 million. And, we expect to be at the cash flow breakeven point in the fourth quarter and continue being a self-sustaining enterprise."

Gvoke®: Net revenue was $30.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a 28% increase compared to prior year. Gvoke prescriptions for the first half of 2023 were over 97,000 TRx's, growing 50% compared to the same period in 2022. The growth in product demand was partially offset by a decrease in net pricing.
Keveyis®: Net revenue was $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a 21% increase from last year. This increase was driven by a 9% increase in sales volume and an increase in net pricing.
Recorlev®: Net revenue was $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30,2023, a $10.5 million increase from last year, driven primarily by increases in the number of patients on therapy.

Cost of goods sold increased by $2.7 million or 57.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to higher product sales and product mix. Cost of goods sold increased by $1.8 million or 16.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to higher product sales and product mix, partially offset by a one-time contract credit in the first quarter of 2023.

Research and development expenses increased by $2.4 million or 63.7% and $1.0 million or 9.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2022. The increases in both periods were due to higher spending on the Open-label Treatment in Cushing's Syndrome (OPTICS) study for Recorlev and higher product development costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4.7 million or 14.1% and $2.3 million or 3.4% for the three and six months ended 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2022, due to higher personnel costs, marketing expenses and rent expenses related to the new lease commenced in April 2023.

Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $19.8 million, or $0.14 per share, and a net loss of $36.7 million, or $0.27 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at June 30, 2023 was $80.7 million compared to $122.0 million at December 31, 2022. Total shares outstanding at July 31, 2023 was 138,065,993.
