Lexington, Mass., March 11, 2021 – Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALDX) (Aldeyra), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel therapies with the potential to improve the lives of patients with immune-mediated diseases, today reported business highlights and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

“During the past year, we have worked diligently to advance our lead investigational compound reproxalap into pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials in dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis, two of the largest markets in ophthalmology,” stated Todd C. Brady, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Aldeyra. “Based on clinical results to date, we believe reproxalap has the potential to be first-line therapy for the treatment of dry eye disease and an important alternative to corticosteroids for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. We look forward to the potential to further validate the opportunities for reproxalap with the results of the TRANQUILITY, TRANQUILITY-2, and INVIGORATE trials, as we begin 2021 in a strong financial position, with liquidity expected to fund our current clinical development plans and operations through 2023.”

Recent Highlights and Program Updates

Full-Year 2020 Financial Summary

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 were $77.9 million. Based on its current operating plan and including the net proceeds from the underwritten public offering completed in January 2021, Aldeyra believes that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated operating expenses through the end of 2023, including the completion of the Phase 3 TRANQUILITY and TRANQUILITY-2 trials in dry eye disease; the completion of the Phase 3 INVIGORATE trial in allergic conjunctivitis; the Phase 2 clinical trials of ADX-629 in psoriasis, atopic asthma, and COVID-19 and the completion of Part 1 of the adaptive Phase 3 GUARD clinical trial in proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

The net loss for full-year 2020 was $37.6 million, or $1.11 per share, compared with a net loss of $60.8 million, or $2.24 per share, for full-year 2019.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $24.7 million for full-year 2020 compared with $44.4 million for full-year 2019. The decrease of $19.7 million in R&D expenses primarily reflected a reduction in clinical research and development expenditures, partially offset by an increase in non-cash compensation costs related to a portion of a contingent acquisition milestone.

Acquired in-process research and development expenses were $1.8 million for full-year 2020 compared with $6.6 million for full-year 2019. The $4.8 million decrease is related to lower in-process research and development expenses associated with the 2019 acquisition of Helio Vision.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $10.0 million for full-year 2020 compared with $12.2 million for full-year 2019. The decrease of $2.2 million in G&A expenses primarily reflected lower personnel costs, legal costs, public company costs related to continuing compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and miscellaneous administrative costs.
