On April 10, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") announced the filing of a complaint against Regeneron under the False Claims Act. According to the DOJ, the Company failed to report millions of dollars in discounts provided to drug distributors in the form of reimbursed credit card fees. As a result, the DOJ alleges that the Average Sales Price ("ASP") for Regeneron's Eylea and Eylea HD products was inflated, which inappropriately increased Medicare reimbursements. By reimbursing credit card fees, Regeneron subsidized the treatment costs, thereby gaining a competitive advantage over other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor ("VEGF") treatments.
On this news Regeneron's stock price fell $31.50 per share, or 3.36%, over two trading sessions, to close at $904.70 per share on April 12, 2024.
Then, on October 31, 2024, Regeneron reported its third quarter 2024 financial results, revealing lagging U.S. net sales for Eylea HD and Eylea. The Company reported that sales had only increased 3% versus the third quarter 2023, and quarterly sales of Eylea HD were only $392 million, missing consensus estimates of $415 million to $425 million. Regeneron also revealed that "[n]et product sales of EYLEA in the third quarter of 2024 were adversely impacted by a lower net selling price compared to the third quarter of 2023." In the wake of this news, Reuters reported the Company had "reported weaker-than-expected quarterly sales of the higher dose version of its blockbuster eye disease drug Eylea."
On this news, Regeneron's stock price fell $84.59 per share, or 9.2%, to close at $838.20 per share on October 31, 2024.
