Forward guidance

Seres anticipates that its year-end cash balance, in conjunction with the planned savings from the restructuring announced in November 2023 and, assuming continued quarter-over-quarter revenue growth of VOWST, the expected receipt of the $45 million Tranche B will support its operations into the fourth quarter of 2024.

Tailwinds

  • Expansion of the number of HCPs prescribing VOWST as a result of new efforts scaled by Nestlé Health Science in Q4 2023 such as strengthened promotional campaigns and expanded reach of digital promotion.
  • Increase VOWST utilization earlier in the treatment paradigm including in patients experiencing their first recurrence.
  • Maintenance of strong patient access and expansion of payer coverage for VOWST across Commercial and Medicare Part D plans.
  • Increase penetration of the hospital outflow patient segment.
  • SER-155 Phase 1b placebo-controlled Cohort 2 data readout anticipated in third quarter of 2024.
