The earnings call reveals several negative factors: a significant net loss, increased operating expenses, and potential supply chain challenges. The Medicare redesign negatively impacts revenue, and management's unclear responses in the Q&A raise concerns about strategic direction. Although there are some positive developments like Fanapt's growth and new drug applications, they are overshadowed by financial instability and lack of shareholder return plans. These factors suggest a likely negative stock price movement over the next two weeks.
Total Revenues $50 million, a 5% increase compared to $47.5 million for Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth in Fanapt revenue as a result of the bipolar commercial launch.
Fanapt Net Product Sales $23.5 million, a 14% increase compared to $20.6 million in Q1 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in volume driven by increased total prescriptions.
HETLIOZ Net Product Sales $20.9 million, a 4% increase compared to $20.1 million in Q1 2024. The increase was due to an increase in price net of deductions, partially offset by a decrease in volume.
