In other recent news, Verrica Pharmaceuticals reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a significant increase in revenue largely attributed to its product, WICANT. The company recorded total revenue of $3.4 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $2.48 million. Despite this revenue growth, Verrica reported a GAAP net loss of $9.7 million, or $0.10 per share, which was slightly better than the forecasted loss of $0.1075 per share. The company’s revenue growth was accompanied by a reduction in research and development (R&D) and selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, indicating a leaner operational approach.
In addition to its earnings report, Verrica Pharmaceuticals continues to advance its clinical pipeline, including the development of BP315 for basal cell carcinoma. The company is also working with Torii Pharmaceutical (TADAWUL:2070) on a phase three program for WICANT in the treatment of common warts. Verrica’s CEO, Jason Rieger, emphasized the company’s focus on expanding WICANT’s distribution and commercialization efforts, particularly through local independent pharmacies.
Analysts from firms such as TD Cowen and RBC Capital Markets have shown interest in the company’s commercialization strategy and its potential seasonal uptick in demand during the summer months.
