Story continues below

On February 18, 2019, Alimera Sciences, Inc. (“Alimera”) issued a press release regarding its results of operations and financial condition for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018. Alimera will be hosting a conference call, as well as a live webcast on the Investor Relations section of its corporate website at www.alimerasciences.com, on February 19, 2018 at 9:00 A.M. ET to discuss its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018 financial results and to provide regulatory and commercial updates. The full text of the press release, which includes information regarding Alimera’s use of a non-GAAP financial measure, is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A slide presentation that will accompany the February 19, 2019 earnings webcast is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Various statements to be made during the conference call and webcast are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding, among other things Alimera’s belief, expectation, or anticipation that: Alimera will continue to benefit from the temporary unavailability of Ozurdex in the EEA in late 2018; Alimera’s revenue from its international segment will continue to accelerate into the first quarter of 2019; the planned launches of ILUVIEN in Spain and France will occur as planned; Alimera will receive approval of pricing in Lebanon and approval of marketing and pricing in Kuwait; Alimera will continue to grow organically from its existing customer base; Alimera will benefit from the first material cycle of re-treatments of ILUVIEN (and the expected rate of that re-treatment); Alimera will receive approval for the use of ILUVIEN to treat non-infectious posterior uveitis in Europe in the first half of 2019; Alimera will continue to expand access to ILUVIEN in new markets; and Alimera will seek to acquire retina products with reasonable valuations.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in its forward-looking statements. Meaningful factors that could cause actual results to differ include (a) a slowdown or reduction in sales due to a reduction in end user demand, unanticipated competition, regulatory issues, unexpected governmental actions or a delay in the approval or commercialization of ILUVIEN for the treatment of posterior uveitis in Europe and (b) other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Alimera’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Alimera’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018, which are on file with the SEC and are available at its website. Additional factors may also be included in Alimera’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, to be filed with the SEC soon.

In addition to the risks described above and in Alimera’s reports and other filings with the SEC, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect Alimera’s results. There can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Alimera will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Alimera. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the outcomes stated in such forward-looking statements and estimates will be achieved. All forward-looking statements contained in the conference call and webcast, the press release and the slide presentation are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Alimera cautions investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements Alimera makes or that are made on its behalf. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the conference call and webcast, the press release and the slide presentation (unless another date is indicated). Alimera undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
