CHICAGO, IL; November 8, 2024 – 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 third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
“We are proud to report our record-breaking quarter with total revenue of our $54 million led by strong demand of Recorlev® and Gvoke®. Our product revenue growth of 27% marks the 12th consecutive quarter of over 20% growth," said John Shannon, CEO of Xeris. "We have made investments in areas that drive growth, notably Recorlev®, and we are seeing the benefits of those investments. Given our exceptional year-to-date performance, we are raising our revenue guidance to $198-$202 million from the previous $190-$200 million. Looking ahead, our focus remains on continuing to drive greater than 20% product revenue growth and advancing our robust pipeline - namely our Phase 3 ready, XP-8121."
“While delivering exceptional revenue growth, we held our total operating expenses relatively flat to last quarter when you exclude non-routine charges,” said Steven Pieper, CFO of Xeris. “We will continue to drive robust revenue growth, maintain our strong margin profile, and diligently manage expenses, which gives us confidence that the business is financially sound and does not require any dilutive financing to fund our growth.”

•Gvoke®: Net revenue was $59.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 23% increase compared to prior year. Gvoke prescriptions for the nine months were approximately 194,000, growing approximately 24% compared to the same period in 2023.
•Recorlev®: Net revenue was $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 111% increase from last year, driven by an increase in the number of patients on therapy.
•Keveyis®: Net revenue was $38.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a 10% decrease from last year due to a reduction in patients on therapy.
Cost of goods sold increased $5.4 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023. These increases were primarily due to a $3.6 million write-off of Gvoke components resulting from manufacturing process changes required to support ongoing Gvoke capacity expansion efforts.
Research and development (R&D) expenses increased slightly by $0.9 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023. R&D increased primarily due to higher spending for pipeline and personnel related expenses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $7.7 million and $14.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the costs associated with the CEO succession plan and related restructuring ($6.1 million) as well as higher costs related to the Recorlev expansions, partially offset by lower external spending.
Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $15.7 million, or ($0.11) per share, and $49.7 million, or ($0.34) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of the CEO succession plan and related restructuring costs of $6.1 million, earnings per share was ($0.06) for the quarter or ($0.30) for the year-to-date.
