EWING, N.J., Jan. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Antares Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATRS) (The Company) today announced 2020 full-year net revenue guidance of $135 to $155 million, which includes a range of potential revenue scenarios for AMAG’s Makena. In addition, the Company also announced that full-year 2019 revenue is expected to be at the upper end or exceed our revenue guidance of $115 to $120 million.
Robert F. Apple, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, “We are extremely pleased with the significant commercial progress we made last year driven primarily by increased prescriptions for XYOSTED along with strong and growing demand for Teva’s generic epipen. As a result, we believe 2019 full-year reported revenue will be at the upper end or exceed our guidance range of $115 to $120 million.” He continued, “As we look ahead to 2020, we expect continued strong prescription growth for XYOSTED with managed care contracts in place covering in excess of 70 percent of all commercial lives. In addition, we anticipate supplying Teva with additional generic epipen devices this year as Teva continues to grow share in the epipen market with recent weekly prescription share as high as 45 percent. Finally, we anticipate increased contributions from development revenue resulting from the Pfizer and Idorsia collaborations. Therefore, we believe 2020 full-year revenue will be in a range of $135 to $155 million, which potentially represents more than a 20 percent increase in top-line growth at the mid-point of the range.”About Antares PharmaAntares Pharma, Inc. is a combination drug device company focused primarily on the development and commercialization of self-administered parenteral pharmaceutical products using advanced drug delivery auto injector technology.
