Innoviva, Inc. (INVA)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

• Q2 2025 delivered a clean top-line beat vs Wall Street: revenue $100.28M vs consensus $92.03M*, and diluted EPS $0.77 vs $0.50*, driven by robust royalties ($67.3M gross) and 54% YoY growth in U.S. IST net product sales; EPS benefited from favorable changes in investment fair values .*
• IST momentum accelerated with launch of ZEVTERA in the U.S. (initial $0.3M sales) and strong contributions from GIAPREZA ($17.0M), XACDURO ($8.5M), and XERAVA ($3.1M) in the quarter .
• Regulatory catalysts strengthened: FDA accepted the zoliflodacin NDA, granted Priority Review, and set a PDUFA for December 15, 2025; Day-74 letter indicated no AdCom planned .
• Capital position improved: cash and cash equivalents rose to $397.5M, supporting continued disciplined capital deployment and pipeline execution .
• Income from operations declined 11% YoY to $48.8M due to prior-year non-recurring partner milestone/cost-sharing and higher R&D for zoliflodacin, but net income swung to $63.7M from a $34.7M loss on investment fair value tailwinds .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• IST U.S. net product sales grew 54% YoY to $29.0M, led by GIAPREZA ($17.0M), XACDURO ($8.5M), and XERAVA ($3.1M); ZEVTERA launched with initial sales ($0.3M). CEO: “We successfully launched our fourth product, ZEVTERA... we are pleased with the market engagement.”
• Zoliflodacin NDA accepted with Priority Review and December 15, 2025 PDUFA; Day-74 confirms no AdCom planned, accelerating regulatory visibility .
• Investment portfolio tailwinds: net favorable changes in fair values of equity and long-term investments totaled $24.4M, primarily driven by Armata Pharmaceuticals appreciation, aiding EPS beat .

What Went Wrong

• Income from operations fell 11% YoY to $48.8M, reflecting absence of 2024 non-recurring milestone and cost-sharing plus higher R&D ahead of potential zoliflodacin approval .
• License and other revenue dropped to $0.9M vs $14.5M in Q2 2024, creating a tougher YoY compare in total revenue mix .
• R&D spend increased to $8.0M from $2.6M YoY as the company invested ahead of regulatory outcomes, depressing operating leverage near-term .

Estimates Context

• Q2 2025 vs Wall Street consensus (S&P Global):

Values marked with an asterisk were retrieved from S&P Global consensus via our estimates tool.*

• Implication: A broad-based top-line beat, with EPS outperforming likely due to both operational strength (IST growth, stable royalties) and favorable investment fair value changes; operating income was lower YoY due to non-recurring items in the prior year and higher R&D, but this did not prevent the headline EPS beat .

Key Takeaways for Investors

• The quarter was a clear beat vs Street on both revenue and EPS; the combination of IST growth, royalty stability, and investment fair value tailwinds drove performance — expect near-term estimate revisions upward for revenue and EPS.*
• IST is scaling with multiple products; ZEVTERA’s U.S. launch adds a fourth pillar and early contribution, while XACDURO continues to ramp — supports medium-term revenue growth durability .
• Regulatory momentum is strong: zoliflodacin Priority Review and a December 15, 2025 PDUFA without AdCom risk — a binary catalyst that can re-rate the pipeline narrative .
• Operating income headwinds (non-recurring compares, elevated R&D) are strategic and timed ahead of potential approval; margins may improve post-launch scale and as launch investments normalize .
• Balance sheet strength ($397.5M cash) and receivables support continued disciplined capital deployment across commercial expansion and strategic assets, reducing financing risk .
• Prior guidance of IST U.S. net product sales >$100M in 2025 remains the reference point; no update in Q2 suggests execution focus over re-guiding — monitor Q3 for further granularity .
• Trading lens: Over the next 1-2 quarters, watch ZEVTERA uptake and XACDURO demand trends; into year-end, zoliflodacin PDUFA is the key catalyst that can drive multiple expansion if approved .
