InSite Vision Reports Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Alameda, Calif., August 13, 2014 – InSite Vision Incorporated (OTCBB: INSV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $6.3 million compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, revenues included a $6.0 million payment for the amendment to the Akorn License and royalties for net sales of AzaSite of $0.3 million. In the second quarter of 2013, revenues included $14.5 million for the sale of Besivance royalty rights and royalties for net sales of AzaSite of $4.7 million. Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $37.1 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.09 per share, in the second quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, InSite recorded a gain of $36.0 million on the extinguishment of the AzaSite Notes.

“In the last few months, InSite has extinguished its subsidiary’s debt, regained direct receipt of AzaSite royalties on North American sales and obtained positive, valuable feedback in our discussions with U.S. and European regulatory authorities,” said Timothy Ruane, InSite’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are preparing a New Drug Application to market BromSite for the treatment of inflammation and prevention of pain following cataract surgery. In addition, based on a positive post-Phase 3 meeting with the FDA, we believe we have a path forward for filing an NDA for DexaSite, which has the potential to be the first product approved for the treatment of blepharitis.”

Business Highlights

 

    Based on positive data from two pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies, InSite intends to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing approval of BromSite™ (bromfenac 0.075% in DuraSite®) for the treatment of inflammation and prevention of pain after cataract surgery in the first quarter of 2015.

 

    In May 2014, InSite reported a positive meeting with the Swedish Medical Products Agency (MPA), which concluded that the existing data from InSite’s two Phase 3 clinical studies for BromSite for the unique label of treatment of inflammation and prevention of pain associated with ocular surgery was likely sufficient to support the filing of a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the MPA.

 

    In June 2014, InSite entered into an amendment to its license agreement (Akorn License) with Akorn Inc. Under the terms of the amended Akorn License, InSite received a payment of $6.0 million in return for a lower royalty on net sales of AzaSite in North America. Effective April 1, 2014, InSite will receive tiered royalty payments ranging from 8%-15% from North American sales of AzaSite.

 

   

In June 2014, InSite also entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with holders of the AzaSite Notes to repurchase and cancel such notes. The remaining principal of $41.3


 

million plus accrued and unpaid interest of $2.8 million was cancelled in exchange for a one-time payment of $6.0 million. The one-time payment to noteholders was funded through the proceeds from the amendment of the Akorn License.

 

    In July 2014, after discussions with the FDA, the FDA stated that the results of the DOUBle Phase 3 clinical trial could support marketing approval for DexaSite™ (dexamethasone 0.1% in DuraSite) as a treatment for blepharitis in adults. In the DOUBle study, DexaSite demonstrated a strong treatment effect versus vehicle in clinical signs and symptoms of blepharitis at the end of treatment on Day 15. Based on the feedback from the FDA, InSite expects to file an NDA for DexaSite in early 2016.

 

    In July 2014, InSite received patent No. 8,778,999 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for Bromfenac Non-Steroidal Ophthalmic Compositions Formulated in DuraSite. This patent covers all of InSite’s bromfenac product candidates, including BromSite, ISV-101 (bromfenac (0.01% to 0.04%) ophthalmic solution formulated in DuraSite), potential back-of-the eye BromSite indications, and bromfenac and dexamethasone containing products such as BromDex (ISV-504). The patent is expected to provide protection for bromfenac formulations in DuraSite to 2029.

Second Quarter 2014 Results Summary

Total revenues were $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, revenues included a $6.0 million payment for the amendment to the Akorn License and earned royalties for net sales of AzaSite of $0.3 million. In the second quarter of 2013, revenues included $14.5 million for the sale of Besivance royalty rights, $1.4 million in AzaSite earned royalties, and a $3.3 million minimum royalty true-up for AzaSite.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million in the same period in 2013. In 2014, R&D expenses primarily related to preparations to file an NDA for BromSite with the FDA in the first quarter of 2015. In 2013, R&D expenses were predominantly driven by the AzaSite Plus/DexaSite Phase 3 clinical trial and the second BromSite Phase 3 clinical trial.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $1.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the same period in 2013. The decrease in G&A was due to higher legal and professional fees incurred on the sale of the Besivance royalty rights in 2013.

Gain on extinguishment of debt was $36.0 million for the second quarter of 2014. On June 10, 2014, InSite and the holders of the AzaSite Notes entered into a Note Purchase Agreement in which the AzaSite Notes were repurchased and cancelled for a single payment by InSite of $6.0 million. As a result of the cancellation, the remaining principal on the AzaSite Notes of $41.3 million and accrued interest of $2.8 million were extinguished. In addition, the remaining balance


of $2.1 million in debt issuance costs were written off and legal and professional fees in connection with the transaction of less than $0.1 million were incurred.

Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $37.1 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.09 per share, in the second quarter 2013. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $36.0 million gain on extinguishment of the AzaSite Notes.

As of June 30, 2014, InSite had cash and cash equivalents of $2.5 million. Total cash usage in the second quarter of 2014 was $2.9 million. InSite expects that cash on hand, anticipated cash flow from operations and current cash commitments to InSite will only be adequate to fund operations until September 2014. Additional funding is being sought through debt or equity financings, collaborative or other partnering arrangements, and from other sources.
