Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:XERS), a fast-growing 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, 2024 and recent corporate events.

"I am very pleased to report that we posted an outstanding quarter of $48 million in total revenue, which included record product revenue of over $46 million driven by strong demand for all three of our products. Our year-over-year product revenue growth of 26% represents the eleventh consecutive quarter of over 20% growth as our diverse product portfolio of Recorlev^®, Gvoke^®, and Keveyis^® all continue to meet important unmet needs for patients," said John Shannon, CEO of Xeris Biopharma. "Our strong performance leads us to now envision full year results at the high end of our original range, and we're tightening our guidance to $190-$200 million from the previous $175-$200 million. We also believe that this performance will enable us to perform at the higher end of our year-end cash range, so we're tightening that guidance to $60-$75 million." Mr. Shannon continued, "This is an exciting time for Xeris, and I'm thrilled to be leading as CEO for the next phase of our journey building upon the strong foundation we've created to drive our revenues and pipeline to new heights."

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

Gvoke prescriptions topped 65,000 for the first time, growing 27% compared to the same period in 2023. Gvoke's share of the retail TRx glucagon market grew to approximately 34% at the end of July.
• Keveyis^®: Second quarter net revenue was $13.1 million as compared to $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 - a decrease of approximately 7% due to generic competition. Net revenue was unchanged from the first quarter of 2024.

• XeriSol™ glucagon for pumps: In May, Xeris entered into an exclusive worldwide collaboration and license agreement with Beta Bionics, Inc. for the development and commercialization of a unique glucagon product for use in Beta Bionics' proprietary bi-hormonal pump and pump systems.

Year-to-Date 2024 Financial Results

• Gvoke^®: Net revenue was $36.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a 19% increase compared to prior year. Gvoke prescriptions for the first half of 2024 were approximately 124,000 TRx's, growing approximately 27% compared to the same period in 2023.
• Keveyis^®: Net revenue was $26.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a 2% decrease from last year due to generic competition.
• Recorlev^®: Net revenue was $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30,2024, a 106 % increase from last year, driven primarily by increases in the number of patients on therapy.

Cost of goods sold remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold increased by $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2023. The slight increase was attributable to higher product sales, partially offset by favorable product mix driven by higher sales of products with lower cost of goods sold.

Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased slightly by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For six months ended June 30, 2024, R&D increased by $2.7 million primarily due to higher spending for our pipeline and personnel related expenses.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $2.4 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2023, due to higher personnel costs.

Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $15.0 million, or $0.10 per share, and a net loss of $34.0 million, or $0.24 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
