Seikagaku reported FY 4Q20 orthopedic revenue of USD $32.3 million, +31.8% vs. FY 4Q19 with full-year FY 2020 revenue of $125.3 million, -9.6% vs. 2019. The company’s fourth quarter, ending March 31, showed substantial sequential improvement but couldn’t offset the impact of drug price reductions in Japan and pandemic-related decreases in outpatient services. The company continues to take share among single injection viscosupplements in the U.S. and sees a definitive recovery trend there.
Seikagaku forecasted total FY 2021 sales growth of +16.1% vs. 2020, driven partly by the introduction of JOYCLU, an injection treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. The drug is approved in Japan and pending a Phase III study in the United States.
