Xeris Biopharma Reports Record First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and updated its fiscal 2025 total revenue guidance. 'We're very pleased with our strong start to the year, delivering another quarter of outstanding revenue growth,' said John Shannon, Xeris' Chief Executive Officer. 'Our performance reflects sustained momentum across the portfolio, led by strong demand for Recorlev and is a testament to the disciplined execution of our growth strategy.' Mr. Shannon continued, 'Given our exceptional first quarter performance, as well as strong continued momentum and confidence in the business, we have tightened full-year 2025 total revenue guidance to $260 million to $275 million. This revision from our previous range of $255 million to $275 million underscores the success of our strategic initiatives and our commitment to driving sustainable growth while delivering value to our patients and shareholders.' First Quarter 2025 Highlights Recorlev®: First quarter net revenue was $25.5 million – an increase of approximately 141% compared to the first quarter of 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the average number of patients on Recorlev increasing 124% from the same period in 2024. Gvoke®: First quarter net revenue was $20.8 million – an increase of approximately 26% compared to the first quarter of 2024. Gvoke prescriptions grew 8% compared to the same period in 2024. Keveyis®: First quarter net revenue was $11.4 million – a decrease of approximately 13% compared to the first quarter of 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in product shipments in the period. On a sequential basis, net revenue and total patients on Keveyis were both slightly up. Royalty, contract and other revenue: In the first quarter, Xeris obtained FDA approval for Gvoke VialDx TM and received an approval-based milestone from its partner, American Regent, which made up a majority of Other Revenue. Cost of goods sold (COGS) increased $2.8 million or 46% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in product revenue. Research and development (R&D) expenses were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Expenses in the quarter supported the Company's pipeline, notably XP-8121, and included personnel related expenses and continued investment in the Company's technology platforms and partnerships. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $5.6 million or 15% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to incremental investment in the Recorlev commercial organization starting in the third quarter of 2024 as well as other personnel related expenses. Net Loss for the first quarter was $9.2 million or ($0.06) per share. Adjusted EBITDA 1 for the first quarter was positive $4.4 million, an improvement of $8.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. Total Shares Outstanding were 160,155,000 at April 30, 2025. Upcoming Events Craig-Hallum Institutional Investor Conference: Senior management will participate in 1x1 meetings on May 28, 2025, in Minneapolis, MN.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and was not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measure included herein may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed in conjunction with actual GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing and projected operating performance, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company's business and is important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding expected operating performance. Also, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and evaluate its performance. In addition, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is important in evaluating the administrative costs of operating the Company's business. Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss) before income tax (benefit) expense, plus interest and other income, less depreciation and amortization, interest expenses, share based compensation and debt refinancing fees.

Xeris Biopharma Holdings Inc (XERS) Q4 2024 Earnings Call Highlights: Surpassing Revenue ...
Release Date: March 06, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Xeris Biopharma Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:XERS) exceeded its full-year guidance with total revenue of over $203 million, marking a 24% growth compared to the previous year. The company reported a 28% product revenue growth for 2024, driven by strong demand for its products, particularly Recole, which saw a 118% increase in revenue. Xeris Biopharma Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:XERS) achieved positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2024 and expects to maintain this positive trend moving forward. The company is guiding for a 30% year-over-year revenue growth in 2025, with expected total revenue between $255 and $275 million. Xeris Biopharma Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:XERS) successfully completed its phase 2 study for XP 8,121 and is preparing for phase 3, indicating progress in its pipeline development. Caveyas brand experienced a 13% decline in revenue for the full year, although the number of patients on therapy remained stable. The company anticipates continued pressure on reimbursement and net pricing for its products, similar to what was experienced in 2024. Research and development expenses increased by $3.2 million compared to the prior year, driven by investments in XP 8,121 and technology platforms. Selling, general, and administrative expenses rose by 12% for the year, partly due to a one-time charge related to CEO succession and corporate restructuring. Xeris Biopharma Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:XERS) faces challenges in identifying and reaching the full potential patient population for its products, particularly in the hypercortisolism market. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with XERS. Q: Can you elaborate on the growth of Recole, specifically regarding prescriber expansion and prescription growth? A: John Shannon, CEO: We are seeing growth from both expanding our prescriber base and existing prescribers writing more prescriptions. As prescribers become more comfortable with Recole, they are adding more patients. The expansion of our sales force is also contributing to reaching new patients. Q: What are your expectations for Cabayas in 2025, considering the decline in 2024? A: John Shannon, CEO: We believe Cabayas may have stabilized, and while we can't predict exact outcomes, we are holding our own by maintaining our patient base. Q: Regarding the growth rates mentioned for Recole, are you referring to year-over-year patient addition rates or sequential revenue growth? A: Steve Piper, CFO: It's more about the absolute number of patient additions rather than a percentage growth rate. We expect the trajectory we saw in the latter part of 2024 to continue throughout 2025. Q: Have there been any changes in market access or reimbursement for Recole? A: John Shannon, CEO: There have been no changes in reimbursement. We continue to focus on keeping patients on therapy and supporting their journey. Q: Can you provide more details on the expected timeline for XP 8,121 and any updates before mid-year? A: John Shannon, CEO: We are in ongoing discussions with the agency regarding clinical and regulatory pathways. We plan to provide a comprehensive update by mid-year, detailing the unmet medical need, market opportunity, and phase 3 study design.

Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:XERS) top owners are retail investors with 50% stake, while 45% is held by institutions
Significant control over Xeris Biopharma Holdings by retail investors implies that the general public has more power to influence management and governance-related decisions 41% of the business is held by the top 25 shareholders Institutional ownership in Xeris Biopharma Holdings is 45% A look at the shareholders of Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:XERS) can tell us which group is most powerful. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 50% to be precise, is retail investors. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. And institutions on the other hand have a 45% ownership in the company. Institutions will often hold stock in bigger companies, and we expect to see insiders owning a noticeable percentage of the smaller ones. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about Xeris Biopharma Holdings. Check out our latest analysis for Xeris Biopharma Holdings Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. We can see that Xeris Biopharma Holdings does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Xeris Biopharma Holdings' earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Xeris Biopharma Holdings. Our data shows that BlackRock, Inc. is the largest shareholder with 7.3% of shares outstanding. With 5.3% and 3.4% of the shares outstanding respectively, The Vanguard Group, Inc. and Caxton Associates (USA) LLC are the second and third largest shareholders. Furthermore, CEO John Shannon is the owner of 0.6% of the company's shares. A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority. Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments.
