Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- CEO: “We delivered strong second quarter growth of 18%… seventeenth consecutive quarter of double-digit gains at CER… firmly positioned to reach GAAP profitability in the second half of 2025… anticipate exceeding $1 billion in total revenue in 2028” .
- CFO: “Excluding the $30 million upfront payment related to the DMX-200 agreement, we would have delivered positive GAAP net income for the quarter” .
- CBO on P+O: “Q2 showed strong sales growth… record levels of patient demand… launched into five new markets in Q2… Japan approval and Netherlands preferred status will be key drivers” .
- CDO on DMX-200: “FDA alignment on proteinuria as the primary endpoint… ACTION3 enrollment >75%… positioned to be a meaningful advancement for FSGS patients” .
Q&A Highlights
- Supply chain/tariffs: All P+O material needed for 2025 commercial/clinical use already in U.S.; no material tariff impact in 2025; Ireland DS to enter EU supply in H2’25 and U.S. next year; diversified global manufacturing footprint (incl. Sharp U.S. DP) .
- IP litigation: Confident in Galafold IP; Teva settlement strengthens position vs remaining litigants; most such cases settle over time .
- P+O switches: Majority of new U.S. patients now switching from Nexviazyme; physicians consider biomarkers, 6MWD, FVC, muscle strength, QoL; earlier switches often in declining/severe patients; proactive switching expected as evidence grows .
- DMX-200 regulatory: FDA minutes confirmed proteinuria primary endpoint; AdCom outcome on a different product (FILSPARI) seen as informative either way; ACTION3 LPI by YE25 and 2-year topline by 2027 .
- Geographic ramp: Strong performance in UK, Germany, Spain; Sweden with disproportionate share; Italy launching; four more countries expected in 2H (incl. Japan) .
Estimates Context
Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.
Implications: Revenue beat driven by strong Galafold momentum and accelerating P+O adoption with a currency tailwind . EPS outperformance versus negative consensus occurred despite the $30M DMX-200 upfront expensed in Q2, underscoring operating leverage as the commercial base scales .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Beat/raise check: Clear top-line and non-GAAP EPS beat vs consensus; guidance reiterated across all metrics, maintaining H2 GAAP profitability target .
- Galafold steady compounding: High share in amenable Fabry, 13% YoY patient growth, and expanding diagnosis/access support multi-year growth .
- P+O entering broader adoption phase: Access wins (Netherlands preferred), Japan approval, and multiple new EU launches support sustained growth into 2H and 2026 .
- Margin trajectory: FY25 gross margin guided mid-80s as P+O COGS recognition normalizes in H2; Q2 COGS ~10% of sales vs 9% YoY .
- Optionality from DMX-200: Late-stage FSGS asset with FDA-aligned endpoint and strong enrollment could add medium-term pipeline value without near-term development spend burden .
- Risk watch: IP litigation ongoing (Galafold), UK VPAG-like dynamics, and execution on manufacturing diversification; management actions aim to mitigate .
- Trading setup: Near-term catalysts include continued P+O country launches and access updates, progress on ACTION3, and delivery of H2 GAAP profitability; positive estimate revisions likely on revenue/EPS given beats and momentum .
