Aerie Pharmaceuticals reported a GAAP net loss of $74.4 million, or $2.88 per share, in 2015, according to a company press release.

In 2014, the GAAP net loss was $48.1 million, or $2 per share.

A GAAP net loss of $20.4 million, or $0.76 per share, was reported in the fourth quarter compared with $16.5 million, or $0.69 per share, in the same quarter of 2014. The increase was attributed to $20 million in operating expenses, which included $12.3 million in research and development expenses and $7.6 million in general and administrative expenses.

High operating expenses in the fourth quarter were attributed to increased activities related to the phase 3 programs for Rhopressa and Roclatan.
