The earnings call presents a largely positive outlook with strong revenue and profit growth, increased cash reserves, and raised revenue guidance. Despite some execution challenges in G&A expense reduction and potential bottlenecks in patient reclassification, the market strategy and financial health are solid. The Q&A section highlighted management's confidence in overcoming these challenges. The positive sentiment is reinforced by the company's strategic geographic expansion and robust product performance, notably RUCONEST and Joenja. These factors suggest a positive stock price movement in the short term.
Total revenues Grew by 26% in Q2 2025 compared to the same quarter last year. This growth was driven by the significant growth of RUCONEST (28% year-on-year) and the acceleration of patient uptake on Joenja.
Operating profit $12.9 million in Q2 2025 compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million in Q2 2024. This excludes $2.1 million in nonrecurring Abliva acquisition-related expenses. The improvement was due to increased revenues and controlled operating expenses.
RUCONEST revenue Increased by 28% year-on-year to $80.4 million in Q2 2025. Growth was driven by an increase in prescribers and new patient enrollments, with a 27% volume increase in the U.S. due to its unique profile for treating moderate to severe hereditary angioedema (HAE).
Joenja revenue Achieved 15% quarter-on-quarter growth, reaching $12.8 million in Q2 2025. The growth was driven by an increase in patients on paid therapy and geographic expansion, including a launch in the U.K.
Gross profit Increased by 27% to $84.2 million in Q2 2025, primarily due to the increase in revenue.
Cash and marketable securities Increased from $108.9 million at the end of Q1 2025 to $130.8 million at the end of Q2 2025. This increase was driven by net cash flows generated from operating activities.
