What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Record commercial demand: “strongest quarter ever for new commercial demand for both Galafold and Pombiliti + Opfolda,” with Galafold patient demand +13% YoY and rising naïve starts mix (~65%) .
- Profitability and cash generation: first positive GAAP net income in 2025 ($17.3M) and cash/marketable securities increased by $32.8M Q/Q to $263.8M .
- Evidence and market access momentum for Pompe: 4‑year PROPEL OLE data showed stability/improvement on muscle function/strength/biomarkers; reimbursement/launch progress including Japan and 15 reimbursed countries YTD .
What Went Wrong
- Gross margin mixed sequentially: gross profit margin was ~88.5% in Q3 vs ~90.2% in Q2 as COGS increased to 12% of sales due to hybrid inventory cost dynamics for Pombiliti + Opfolda through Q4 .
- OpEx drifted higher: non‑GAAP operating expenses rose to $95.4M (+15% YoY), and management guided to the high end of the $380–$400M range for 2025 .
- Prior UK VPAG pressure and ordering patterns earlier in 2025 underscore sensitivity to ex‑US market mechanics, though Q3 benefited from FX and sustained demand .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- CEO opening: “another great quarter… strong revenue growth, GAAP profitability… strongest quarter ever for new commercial demand for both Galafold and Pombiliti and Opfolda… on track to deliver combined sales of $1 billion in 2028” .
- Commercial lead on Galafold: “revenue reached $138.3 million… underlying growth in patient demand increased by 13%… ~69% share of treated amenable patients” .
- CFO on profitability and mix: “total revenue of $169.1 million… COGS 12%… positive GAAP net income… cash… increased by $32.8 million during the third quarter” .
- Development on Pombiliti + Opfolda evidence: “new four‑year data from PROPEL OLE… durability… stability or improvements in key endpoints” .
Q&A Highlights
- Pombiliti adoption drivers: Real‑world evidence (including U.K. comparisons) and accumulating case studies are influencing physician switches; pediatric label expansions targeted with adolescent LOPD submission expected “mid‑next year” .
- U.S. Pombiliti momentum and 2026 trajectory: Q3 saw largest ever net commercial demand; faster reimbursement timelines; expanding sites/prescribers; Netherlands switches progressing with expectation for substantial share .
- Galafold patient adds: Growth led by core countries with standard‑of‑care positioning for newly diagnosed amenable patients; underdiagnosis remains large opportunity .
- Policy/biosecurity: Management expects stable U.S. supply given Ireland manufacturing approval and friend‑shoring; not concerned about evolving Biosecure 2.0 proposals .
- DMX‑200 biomarkers: Higher MCP‑1 levels correlated with greater proteinuria response in Phase 2; Phase 3 measures MCP‑1 prospectively without entry threshold .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025 results vs S&P Global consensus: Revenue $169.1M vs $165.7M* (≈+2.1%); non‑GAAP EPS (Primary EPS) $0.17 vs $0.039* (material beat). Management said full‑year revenues are “trending in line with full year consensus numbers” .
- Implications: Consensus likely to move higher on P&L leverage and Pombiliti momentum; FX tailwind (~$4M Q3) normalizes, while COGS mix normalizes after Q4 per inventory dynamics .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- The growth/profitability flywheel is turning: positive GAAP earnings with strong non‑GAAP EPS and cash generation; management expects positive GAAP net income for 2H .
- Galafold remains a durable engine, with rising naïve share and high adherence, supported by underdiagnosis tailwinds and >60% ex‑US exposure .
- Pombiliti + Opfolda adoption is accelerating with expanding reimbursement (incl. Japan) and real‑world evidence—setting up multi‑year contribution and potential peak leadership (>50% share over time per management) .
- 2025 guidance intact across revenue/gross margin/OpEx, de‑risking near‑term outlook; watch for Q4 dynamics as Pombiliti COGS fully expensed through year‑end .
- Pipeline option value: DMX‑200 Phase 3 ACTION3 nearing full enrollment with FDA endpoint alignment; additional updates/meetings in coming quarters are catalysts .
- Supply chain resiliency improved via EMA‑approved Ireland site and U.S. drug product capacity, mitigating policy/tariff risks .
- Near‑term trading skew: estimate revisions positive on EPS/revenue beats and reiterated guide; monitor FX and Q4 COGS cadence, plus cadence of Japan and other new market ramps .
