Nature of the Business |
Nature of the Business | 1. Nature of the Business Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 12, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is an integrated biopharmaceutical company committed to redefining the retina experience. AXPAXLI (also known as OTX-TKI), the Company’s investigational, bioresorbable, intravitreal hydrogel incorporating axitinib, a small molecule, multi-target, tyrosine kinase inhibitor with anti-angiogenic properties. AXPAXLI is currently being evaluated in a Phase 3 registrational program for wet age-related macular degeneration (“wet AMD”), and a Phase 3 registrational program for diabetic retinal disease, including non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (“NPDR”). The Company also leverages the ELUTYX technology in its commercial product DEXTENZA, a corticosteroid approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery in adults and pediatric patients and for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis in adults and pediatric patients aged two years or older, and in its investigational product candidate OTX-TIC, which is a travoprost intracameral hydrogel for which the Company completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma (“OAG”) or ocular hypertension (“OHT”). The Company is evaluating next steps for the OTX-TIC program. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, dependence on specific programs, compliance with government regulations, regulatory approval and compliance, reimbursement, uncertainty of market acceptance of products and the need to obtain additional financing. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. Approved products will require significant sales, marketing and distribution support. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval and adequate reimbursement or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapidly changing technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees and consultants. The Company may not be able to generate significant revenue from sales of any product for several years, if at all. Accordingly, the Company will need to obtain additional capital to finance its operations. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, and the Company expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,245,635. Based on its current operating plan which includes estimates of anticipated cash inflows from product sales and cash outflows from operating expenses and capital expenditures, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents of $666,699 as of March 31, 2026, will enable it to fund its planned operating expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditures at least through the next 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements while the Company observes a minimum liquidity covenant of $20,000 in its credit facility (Note 7). ​ The future viability of the Company is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from the sales of the Company’s product candidates, such as AXPAXLI, if and as approved, and the sales of DEXTENZA, and to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Company will need to finance its operations through public or private securities offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing agreements, royalty agreements, or marketing and distribution agreements. Although the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts, or at all, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs for product candidates, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, any of which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations.
