Forward Guidance
Abeona Therapeutics expects its current cash resources, supplemented by recent and anticipated proceeds from common stock sales and the sale of a Priority Review Voucher, to be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. The company anticipates continued operating losses until ZEVASKYN™ generates sufficient revenue to achieve profitability.
Positive Outlook
- FDA approval of ZEVASKYN™ on April 28, 2025, as the first and only autologous cell-based gene therapy for RDEB.
- Awarded a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV) in connection with FDA approval of ZEVASKYN™.
- Entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell the PRV for gross proceeds of $155 million.
- Activation of the first Qualified Treatment Center (QTC) for ZEVASKYN™ at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
- Extension of the loan principal monthly installments start date from May 1, 2025, to February 1, 2026, following FDA approval of ZEVASKYN™.
Challenges Ahead
- Continued incurrence of significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception.
- Anticipation of continued losses until ZEVASKYN™ can provide sufficient revenue for profitability.
- Potential for dilution of existing investors' equity ownership if additional funds are raised through equity offerings.
- Risk of relinquishing valuable rights to technologies, future revenue streams, or product candidates if additional funds are raised through collaborations or licensing arrangements.
- Uncertainty regarding the ability to obtain additional financial resources or reduce operating expenses if required.
