Our Business

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics to improve the lives of patients with serious retinal diseases. Our pipeline leverages proprietary bioerodible Durasert E™ technology (Durasert E™) for sustained intraocular drug delivery. Our lead product candidate, DURAVYU™ (a/k/a EYP-1901), is an investigational sustained delivery treatment for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mediated retinal diseases combining vorolanib, a selective and patent-protected tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with Durasert E™. EyePoint is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts with a commercial manufacturing facility in Northbridge, Massachusetts.

DURAVYU brings a potential new multi-mechanism of action paradigm for the treatment of retinal diseases as vorolanib, the active drug in DURAVYU, acts through intracellular inhibition of all VEGF receptors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, and pro-inflammatory interleukin 6 (IL-6)/JAK1 signaling. Vorolanib has also demonstrated neuroprotection in an in-vivo model of retinal detachment.

DURAVYU is being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials for the potential treatment of wet AMD and DME, the two largest retinal disease markets. Enrollment in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials for wet AMD is complete with data expected beginning in mid-2026. The first patients were dosed in both DME trials in February 2026 with enrollment completion expected in Q3 2026.

Recent Developments

• On February 18, 2026, we announced the appointment of Michael Campbell as Chief Commercial Officer.
• In the first quarter of 2026, we reached an agreement in principle with the DOJ to settle matters related to the DOJ investigation into certain of our sales, marketing and promotional practices as pertain to DEXYCU during the period for which we commercialized this product. The agreement in principle is for a payment of approximately $4.7 million plus interest (exclusive of attorneys’ fees payable by us to counsel for relators in the qui tam action which are expected to be at or about $0.2 million), with such agreement in principle subject to our reaching an agreement in principle with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). On February 26, 2026, we reached an agreement in principle with HHS to resolve matters related to the DOJ investigation on terms to include us entering into a corporate integrity agreement and HHS agreeing not to seek our exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal health care programs. The agreements in principle are subject to negotiation, completion and execution of appropriate documents resolving these matters, including a settlement agreement and a corporate integrity agreement, which are expected to be finalized in or around the second quarter of 2026.
• On March 20, 2026, we filed a complaint against Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (“Ocular”) in the Middlesex County Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, Ocular's dissemination of false or misleading representations of fact concerning our company and the clinical results of our lead product candidate, DURAVYU™ (vorolanib intravitreal insert). The Complaint asserts several causes of action against Ocular, including defamation, commercial disparagement, violation of Mass. Gen. L. c. 93A, §§ 2 and 11, and tortious interference with advantageous business relations. The Company is seeking injunctive relief preventing Defendant from further disseminating the false or misleading representations of fact, requiring its public retraction of the false and misleading statements, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and such other relief that the court deems just and proper.

R&D Highlights

• On February 17, 2026, our first US patent for DURAVYU was issued, as US Patent No. 12,551,368, with an expiration date in 2043.
• On March 2, 2026, we announced the first patients dosed in both Phase 3 COMO and CAPRI global clinical trials of DURAVYU for the treatment of DME.
• On May 5, 2026, we presented new preclinical data at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2026 Annual Meeting that further demonstrates vorolanib’s inhibition of pro-inflammatory IL-6 signaling.
• Vorolanib was identified as a potent inhibitor of JAK1, a critical transducer of IL-6 signaling, through extensive in vitro and in vivo studies.
• These data further highlight DURAVYU's multi-mechanism of action and its potential to bring a synergistic anti-inflammatory effect to the established VEGF receptors and PDGF receptor inhibition for treatment of wet AMD and DME.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical experience, anticipated results, and trends, and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances at the time. By their nature, these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we set forth our critical accounting policies and estimates, which included revenue recognition and recognition of expense in outsourced clinical trial agreements. See Note 2 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025:

Product Sales, Net

Product sales, net decreased by $0.2 million, or 35%, to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the termination of the ANI commercial supply agreement (CSA) in the second quarter of 2025.

License and Collaboration Agreement

License and collaboration agreement revenue decreased by $11.0 million, or 99%, to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by the recognition of remaining deferred revenue related to our 2023 agreement for the license of YUTIQ® product rights in the second quarter of 2025.

Royalty Income

Royalty income decreased by $12.5 million, or 99%, to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This decrease was due to the termination of the SWK royalty purchase agreement (RPA) on March 18, 2025.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased by $0.3 million, or 34%, to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower commercial product sales year over year.

Research and Development

The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Research and development expenses increased by $13.6 million, or 23%, to $72.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to ongoing DURAVYU Phase 3 clinical trials for wet AMD and DME and scale-up of the Northbridge commercial manufacturing facility.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses remained consistent and immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 10%, to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs, including non-cash stock compensation.

Interest (Expense) Income

Interest (expense) income decreased by $1.3 million, or 36%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by lower cash available for investment in marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have had a history of operating losses and an absence of significant recurring cash inflows from revenue, and at March 31, 2026 we had a total accumulated deficit of $1,189.8 million. Our operations have been financed primarily from sales of our equity securities, issuance of debt and a combination of license fees, milestone payments, royalty income and other fees received from collaboration partners.

Financing Activities

In August 2020, we entered into an at-the-market facility (the ATM Facility) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co (Cantor). Pursuant to the ATM Facility, we may, at our option, offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time, through or to Cantor, acting as sales agent. We will pay Cantor a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from any future sales of such shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not sell any shares of our common stock under our ATM offering facility.

Future Funding Requirements

At March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities of $222.5 million. We expect that our cash and investments in marketable securities will enable us to fund our operations into the fourth quarter of 2027. Due to the difficulty and uncertainty associated with the design and implementation of clinical trials, we will continue to assess our cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and future funding requirements. However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be achieved and that we will succeed in our future operations. We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses for at least the next several years as we continue to develop our product candidates and seek marketing approval and, subject to obtaining such approval, the eventual commercialization of our product candidates. If we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we will incur significant sales, marketing, and manufacturing expenses. We also expect to continue to incur significant costs to comply with corporate governance, internal controls, and similar requirements associated with operating as a public reporting company.

Actual cash requirements could differ from management’s projections due to many factors including additional investments in research and development programs, clinical trial expenses for DURAVYU, competing technological and market developments and the costs of any strategic acquisitions and/or development of complementary business opportunities.

The amount of additional capital we will require will be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:

1. the scope, progress, results, and costs of clinical trials of DURAVYU, as a sustained delivery intravitreal treatment for wet AMD and DME;

2. our expectations regarding the timing and clinical development of our product candidates, including DURAVYU;

3. the duration and outcome of a potential negotiated settlement with the U.S. government related to the DOJ investigation, including any additional undertakings that the DOJ or HHS requires us to pursue in connection with such negotiated resolution, such as a corporate integrity agreement;

4. whether and to what extent we internally fund, whether and when we initiate, and how we conduct additional pipeline product development programs;

5. payments we receive under any new collaboration agreements or payments expected from existing agreements;

6. whether and when we are able to enter into strategic arrangements for our products or product candidates and the nature of those arrangements;

7. the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing any patent claims;

8. the costs and timing to implement corrective and preventive actions required by the Warning Letter to the satisfaction of the FDA;

9. changes in our operating plan, resulting in increases or decreases in our need for capital; and

10. our views on the availability, timing, and desirability of raising capital.

We expect to seek additional funding to sustain our future operations and while we have successfully raised capital in the past, the ability to raise capital in future periods is not assured. We do not know if additional capital will be available when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. Collaboration, licensing or other agreements may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we seek to sell our equity securities, we do not know whether and to what extent we will be able to do so, or on what terms. If available, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and dilute our existing stockholders’ equity, and funding through collaboration, licensing or other commercial agreements may be on unfavorable terms, including requiring us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products. If adequate financing is not available if and when needed, we may delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development programs, if any, postpone or cancel the pursuit of product candidates, or otherwise significantly curtail our operations to reduce our cash requirements and extend our capital.

Our condensed consolidated statements of historical cash flows are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Operating cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $80.5 million primarily due to our net loss of $84.8 million reduced by $11.5 million of non-cash expenses, which was primarily attributable to $11.6 million of stock-based compensation. We incurred cash outflows of $7.2 million in other working capital adjustments driven primarily by increased prepaid clinical expenses.

Operating cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $53.1 million primarily due to our net loss of $45.2 million reduced by $6.6 million of non-cash expenses, which included $7.8 million of stock-based compensation, partially offset by $1.7 million for amortization of discount on available for sale of marketable securities. We incurred cash outflows related to changes in working capital of $14.5 million, which included $23.5 million of deferred revenue related to the agreement to license YUTIQ® product rights to ANI offset by $9.0 million in other working capital adjustments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $60.1 million of net cash was provided by investing activities from the sales of marketable securities, offset by $1.0 million used for the purchase of property and equipment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $39.8 million of net cash was provided by investing activities from the sales of marketable securities, and $0.3 million was used for the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled $2.6 million and consisted mainly of the following:

(i) $3.4 million used for the settlement of stock units to satisfy statutory tax withholding

(ii) $0.3 million used for payment of equity issue costs

(iii) $1.1 million provided by the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $1.0 million and consisted mainly of the following:

(i) $1.2 million used for the settlement of stock units to satisfy statutory tax withholding

(ii) $0.3 million used for payment of equity issue costs

(iii) $0.6 million provided by the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its desired objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This section augments and updates certain risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the Annual Report). The following risk factors should be read together with the other risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of the risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our common stock. Any of these risks, many of which are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. We may also face other risks and uncertainties that are not presently known, are not currently believed to be material, or are not identified below because they are common to all businesses. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. For more information, see “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK

The trading price of the shares of our common stock has been highly volatile, and purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses.

The price of our common stock is highly volatile and may be affected by developments directly affecting our business, as well as by developments out of our control or not specific to us. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, in particular, and the stock market generally, are vulnerable to abrupt changes in investor sentiment. Prices of securities and trading volumes of companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, including ours, can swing dramatically in ways unrelated to, or that bear a disproportionate relationship to, our performance. The price of our common stock and their trading volumes may fluctuate based on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

• clinical trials and their results, and other product and technological developments and innovations;
• the timing, costs and progress of our commercialization efforts;
• FDA and other domestic and international governmental regulatory actions, receipt and timing of approvals of our product candidates, and any denials and withdrawal of approvals;
• the duration, scope, and outcome of any governmental inquiries or investigations, including the ongoing DOJ investigation for which we are seeking a final negotiated resolution;
• competitive factors, including the commercialization of new products in our markets by our competitors;
• statements, interviews, presentations, publications or other communications by third parties, including competitors, whether accurate or inaccurate, that may be perceived as negative with respect to us, our business, our product candidates, our preclinical and clinical data, or our prospects;
• advancements with respect to treatment of the diseases targeted by our product candidates;
• developments relating to, and actions by, our collaborative partners, including execution, amendment and termination of agreements, achievement of milestones and receipt of payments;
• the success of our collaborative partners in marketing any approved products and the amount and timing of payments to us;
• availability and cost of capital and our financial and operating results;
• actions with respect to pricing, reimbursement and coverage, and changes in reimbursement policies or other practices relating to our products or the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries generally;
• meeting, exceeding or failing to meet analysts’ or investors’ expectations, and changes in evaluations and recommendations by securities analysts;
• the use of social media platforms by customers, or investors;
• the issuance of additional shares upon the exercise of currently outstanding options or warrants or upon the settlement of stock units;
• future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the market;
• economic, industry and market conditions, changes or trends; and
• other factors unrelated to us or the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

In addition, low trading volume in our common stock may increase their price volatility. Holders of our common stock may not be able to liquidate their positions at the desired time or price.

We have initiated legal proceedings and may in the future become subject to litigation, which could harm our business, financial condition, stock price and reputation.

We are involved, and may become involved in the future, in disputes and other legal proceedings that could be costly and time-consuming to prosecute or defend and result in unfavorable outcomes, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, and negatively affect the price of our common stock. For example, on March 20, 2026, we filed a complaint against Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (“Ocular”), in the Middlesex County Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges, among other things, Ocular’s dissemination of false or misleading representations of fact concerning our company and the clinical results of DURAVYU, our lead product candidate (the “Ocular Litigation”). The complaint asserts several causes of action against Ocular, including defamation, commercial disparagement, violation of Mass. Gen. L. c. 93A, §§ 2 and 11, and tortious interference with advantageous business relations. We are seeking injunctive relief preventing Ocular from further disseminating the false or misleading representations of fact, requiring its public retraction of the false and misleading statements, monetary damages in the amount to be determined at trial, attorneys’ fees and costs, and such other relief that the court deems just and proper. Ocular filed its answer on April 13, 2026, seeking judgment in its favor, dismissal with prejudice of all claims, award of attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the action, and such other and further relief as the court deems appropriate. We cannot predict whether the Ocular Litigation or any future legal matter will be resolved favorably for us. Legal proceedings in general, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, can be expensive and time-consuming to bring or defend against, requiring us to expend significant resources and divert the effort and attention of our management and other personnel from our business operations. The Ocular Litigation and any future litigation may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, and stock price. Furthermore, publicity surrounding legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings, damage to our reputation and cause volatility in our stock price.
