Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (REGN) Securities Class Action:

The litigation is focused on the propriety of Regeneron's statements about its compliance with applicable rules and regulations concerning its Medicare reimbursement claims, particularly with respect to its EYLEA® product.

According to the complaint, Regeneron made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that:

On April 10, 2024, the Department of Justice announced that it sued Regeneron for False Claims Act violations. The DOJ alleged that Regeneron fraudulently inflated the Medicare reimbursement rates for EYLEA® by knowingly submitting false reports to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that were based on ASP, without accounting for price concessions – namely, credit card processing fees that Regeneron paid to specialty drug distributors to benefit its customers. The DOJ further alleged that "[b]y purporting not to offer price concessions on Eylea, Regeneron could market Eylea's stable ASP (and stable reimbursement) as a competitive advantage for retina practices when compared to [competitors]."

Then, on October 31, 2024, Regeneron announced financial results for Q3 2024 that included disappointing U.S. net sales for its EYLEA® and EYLEA HD® products. The company revealed that those sales increased just 3% compared to the year earlier period, blaming "the lower net selling price compared to the third quarter of 2023" and "anti-VEGF category pricing pressure."  

This news drove the price of Regeneron shares down over 9% that day.

"We are investigating whether Regeneron may have intentionally misled investors about the legality of its reported revenues," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
