The earnings call reveals strong revenue growth, especially in product revenues, which increased over 200% YoY. Despite a decline in licensing revenues and adjusted EBITDA, the company maintains confidence in its full-year guidance, expecting a strong Q4. The Q&A section highlights management's confidence in market share gains and product approvals. However, unchanged guidance and some uncertainties in revenue recognition slightly temper the outlook. Considering the company's market cap, the overall sentiment is positive, predicting a stock price increase of 2% to 8%.
Revenue Growth Revenues increased by 30% year-over-year to $306 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $236 million in the first half of 2024. This growth was mainly driven by strong product revenues, which rose to $205 million from $66 million in the same period last year, due to increased sales of biosimilars to Humira and STELARA.
Product Revenue Growth Product revenues in the first half of 2025 grew by over 200% year-over-year, and product revenues in Q2 2025 grew by 77% year-over-year. This was driven by new product launches, growth in revenues from existing markets, and increased product volumes.
Product Margins Product margins were 33% in the first half of 2025, driven by new product launches, growth in revenues from existing markets, and increased product volumes.
Cash Flow from Operations Cash flow from operating activities reached $77 million in Q2 2025, an improvement of $161 million year-over-year. This was attributed to high product revenue collections and operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2025 was $54 million, compared to $64 million in the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2025 was $18 million, compared to $102 million in Q2 2024. The decline was due to lower licensing revenues as milestone revenues transferred directly to EBITDA.
Licensing Revenues Licensing revenues in the first half of 2025 were $101 million, compared to $170 million in the first half of 2024. The decrease was due to the timing of development progress impacting R&D milestones.
Debt and Cash on Hand As of June 30, 2025, the company had $1,139 million in debt and $151 million in cash on hand. The cash position was positively impacted by operational performance and proceeds from a Swedish offering and private placement in June.
