What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • AMVUTTRA ATTR‑CM launch momentum: patient demand “roughly doubled” vs Q2; broad first‑line uptake and most patients with $0 OOP; prescriber growth “robust” .
  • TTR franchise outperformance: TTR net product revenue $724M (+135% YoY); U.S. TTR revenue $543M, up 42% QoQ; global TTR revenue up 33% QoQ; Rare portfolio steady at $127M (+14% YoY) .
  • Non‑GAAP profitability surge: non‑GAAP operating income $476M (vs $(31)M in 3Q24), driven by top‑line strength and $300M Roche milestone recognition tied to ZENITH Phase 3 first patient dose .

What Went Wrong

  • COGS/royalty headwind: COGS rose to 23.2% of net product revenue (vs 19.5% in 3Q24); CFO guided Q4 gross margin down as in‑vitro royalty rates step up with higher AMVUTTRA sales .
  • ONPATTRO softness: down 22% YoY (switches to AMVUTTRA) and impacted by gross‑to‑net; management noted ONPATTRO declined from Q2 due to a one‑time Medicaid adjustment that did not repeat .
  • Legal overhang: DOJ subpoena seeks documents on government price reporting for AMVUTTRA, ONPATTRO, OXLUMO, and GIVLAARI; management intends to cooperate but offered no further detail .

Management Commentary

  • “Our commercial performance was driven by TTR franchise revenues of $724 million… with growth largely attributable to the AMVUTTRA ATTR‑CM launch in the U.S., where we achieved total TTR revenues of $543 million” – CEO Yvonne Greenstreet .
  • “Patient demand roughly doubled quarter over quarter… nearly all patients have access to AMVUTTRA as a first line treatment option… most patients pay zero out of pocket.” – CCO Tolga Tanguler .
  • “We are increasing our net product revenue guidance… to $2.95–$3.05 billion… The upper end of [Q4 TTR] range is very close to what we’ve delivered in both Q2 and Q3.” – CFO Jeff Poulton .

Q&A Highlights

  • First‑line vs switch dynamics: Growing first‑line share; maintaining leadership in second‑line among stabilizer progressors; broad adoption across academic/community prescribers .
  • Ex‑U.S. pricing/launch: Compelling pricing profile in Japan; Germany in early reimbursement talks; ex‑U.S. to contribute modestly near‑term with broader ramp in 2026; limited EU field expansion needed due to centers of excellence model .
  • Inventory and gross‑to‑net: Channel inventory up with ramping demand; Q3 gross‑to‑net increased (ONPATTRO impacted by prior one‑time Medicaid in Q2); expect mid‑single‑digit net price decline for TTR in 2025 .
  • CMS PYP imaging reimbursement: Monitoring proposed cuts; not seeing anxiety in health systems yet .
  • Legal: DOJ subpoena on price reporting; company will cooperate; no further commentary .

Estimates Context

Metric (Q3 2025)ConsensusActualSurprise
Total Revenues ($)$974.1M*$1,249.0M +28.2%
Primary (Non‑GAAP Diluted) EPS ($)$0.55*$2.90 Large beat

Drivers of upside: $300M milestone from Roche tied to ZENITH Phase 3 first‑patient dosing and robust AMVUTTRA ATTR‑CM uptake; royalty revenue also doubled YoY with higher Leqvio sales . Margin headwinds from rising royalty rates partially offset at the operating line by scale and collaboration revenue .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • AMVUTTRA ATTR‑CM is scaling faster than expected; U.S. TTR +42% QoQ with demand doubling, supporting another guidance raise; expect Q4 TTR $850–$900M run‑rate per CFO framing .
  • Revenue quality mixed (clean product growth plus one‑time $300M milestone); nevertheless, net product trends alone imply continued upside momentum into Q4 .
  • Watch near‑term margin pressure: increasing in‑vitro royalty rates will weigh on gross margin in Q4; plan for lower GM% despite higher sales .
  • Ex‑U.S. launches are a 2026 catalyst wave (Japan early progress; EU pricing underway); little near‑term contribution expected in Q4 2025 .
  • Legal and policy risks: DOJ subpoena on price reporting introduces uncertainty; proposed CMS PYP imaging reimbursement cuts are being monitored but not impacting demand yet .
  • Pipeline continues to de‑risk growth beyond TTR: ZENITH CVOT initiated (Roche alliance), TRITON PN/CM moving; additional early programs (ALN‑6400, ALN‑5288) broaden optionality .
  • Near‑term setup: Positive estimate revisions likely as Street absorbs stronger TTR run‑rate and higher FY revenue guide; traders should watch Q4 gross‑to‑net and royalty drag vs top‑line acceleration for stock reaction catalysts .
