Matt's questions to ABEONA THERAPEUTICS (ABEO) leadership

Question · Q3 2025

Matt asked about the proportion of the 30 identified ZEVASKYN patients who are currently on background Vyjuvek or have previously failed Vyjuvek.

Answer

Chief Commercial Officer Madhav Vasanthavada stated that the company does not have direct visibility into the exact number but expects the vast majority would be on Vyjuvek and/or Filsuvez, given the unmet need for multiple treatment options in the RDEB community. He added that prior use of other gene therapies helps with access, as patients would already have genetic records and other necessary documentation for payers.

Matt's questions to Consolidated Water (CWCO) leadership

Question · Q2 2025

Matt from Western Standard highlighted the standout gross margin in the manufacturing segment and asked for the drivers behind it. He also inquired about the increase in O&M revenue, the remaining hurdles for the Hawaii project, the status of the Bahama receivable, and the company's capital allocation plans for its large cash balance.

Answer

CEO Frederick McTaggart and CFO David Sasnett attributed the strong manufacturing margin to a focus on higher-margin jobs, efficient facility operation near peak capacity, and favorable project pricing. McTaggart explained the O&M revenue increase was due to contract term changes and incremental cost pass-throughs. For the Hawaii project, he identified the archaeological permit and a final health department design approval as the key remaining steps. On capital allocation, McTaggart stated they are actively evaluating M&A targets, exploring P3 project opportunities, and will continue to assess returning cash to shareholders, referencing the recent dividend increase.
