Key Takeaways for Investors

  • IST momentum continues: U.S. net product sales rose 52% YoY to $26.4M, with GIAPREZA strength and continued XACDURO/XERAVA contribution, supporting a higher quality revenue mix .
  • Operating performance resilient: Income from operations up 61% YoY to $41.4M despite modest royalty fluctuations; operating leverage evident on growing IST sales .
  • Reported loss was non‑operating: The net loss was driven by $78.8M unfavorable fair value changes in equity and long‑term investments; watch Armata and ISP Fund LP marks as key non‑core valuation drivers .
  • Near‑term catalysts: ZEVTERA U.S. launch progressed (commercially available May 20) with three indications including MRSA SAB; monitor uptake trajectory through 2H25 .
  • Regulatory milestone: Zoliflodacin NDA on track in H1; post‑quarter FDA acceptance and Priority Review set a potential approval by December 15, 2025 (PDUFA), representing a significant pipeline event .
  • Balance sheet strength: $319.1M cash and $77.9M receivables provide flexibility for commercialization and disciplined capital allocation amid volatility .
  • Estimate framing: With consensus datapoints not available, focus on sequential IST growth, ZEVTERA launch dynamics, and separation of operating results from investment fair value noise for valuation narratives .
