CVS Tier 1 coverage to HROW’s Vevye on 1/1/26, magnitude of decline has been more Nathan.Treybeck@wellsfargo.com | 212-214-8042
modest.
Coupled with a gross-to-net (GTN) improvement from the high-70s to low-70s and lower
couponing, Q1 Xiidra sales rose 30% yr/yr to $87MM, to beat our $70MM est. As such,
BLCO now sees LDD Xiidra sales growth in 2026 (vs. prior MSD), assuming no material
GTN change.
Xiidra’s dry eye NRx share fell 2 pts to ~14% in 1Q, while Vevye rose 2 pts to ~6%. Xiidra’s
April NRx share was ~flat m/m, with rolling 4-wk (w/e 5/8) NRx down 20% yr/yr. We model
flat Q2 Xiidra sales of $87MM vs. consensus $91MM.
BLCO reported Q1 Xiidra sales ahead of expectations.
