Aerie Pharmaceuticals posted a GAAP net loss of $40.7 million, or $1.05 per share, in the first quarter of 2018 compared with a GAAP net loss of $25.8 million, or $0.76 per share, in 2017’s first quarter.

Operating expenses increased in the quarter from $25.4 million in 2017 to $40.8 million in 2018, which reflects increased activities to expand the company’s employee base to support operation growth and activities associated with efforts to commercialize Rhopressa (netarsudil ophthalmic solution 0.02%), according to a press release.

Aerie had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $334 million as of March 31.
