Challenges Ahead
- Uncertainties associated with regulatory review of clinical trials and applications for marketing approvals
- The availability or commercial potential of VYJUVEK or product candidates
- Non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense guidance does not include stock-based compensation
- The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense to forecasted GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate the reconciling item, stock-based compensation expenses, with confidence
- This item, which could materially affect the computation of forward-looking GAAP combined R&D and SG&A expense, is inherently uncertain and depends on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control.
