MANNKIND CORP (MNKD)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 delivered a record revenue quarter at $82.1M (+17% y/y), with non-GAAP EPS of $0.07; revenue modestly beat S&P Global consensus ($80.25M*) and normalized EPS materially beat ($0.0188*) on stronger Tyvaso DPI royalties and manufacturing revenue . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
- Segment mix remained robust: Royalties $33.3M (+23% y/y), Collaborations & Services $26.5M (+14%), Afrezza $18.5M (+23%), while V-Go declined (-19% y/y). Tyvaso DPI contributed ~$59.8M in combined royalties and manufacturing revenue in Q3 .
- Strategic catalysts: closed SC Pharmaceuticals (FUROSCIX) on Oct 7; sNDA for FUROSCIX ReadyFlow auto-injector submitted (acceptance decision expected by YE25); Afrezza pediatric sBLA accepted (PDUFA May 29, 2026). Cash, equivalents and investments were $286.3M at 9/30/25; management drew additional term loans for the acquisition .
- Key “why”: revenue strength was driven by Tyvaso DPI demand and higher UT product sales; non-GAAP EPS outperformance reflects add-backs (e.g., royalty sale accounting, FX, stock comp, impairment) while GAAP EPS was pressured by a $6.4M investment impairment and higher SG&A tied to growth and acquisition activity .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Tyvaso DPI momentum: “record revenue quarter” with $33M royalties and $26M manufacturing in Q3; UT developed an 80 mcg cartridge to improve patient convenience .
- Afrezza growth: Q3 Afrezza revenue +23% y/y to $18.5M; NRx +31% and TRx +27% y/y as focus shifts to type 1 ahead of pediatrics .
- Pipeline/regulatory progress: Afrezza pediatric sBLA accepted (PDUFA 5/29/26); FUROSCIX ReadyFlow sNDA submitted; ICON-1 NTM Phase 3 hit interim enrollment target ahead of schedule; IPF Phase 2 (INFLO/MNKD-201) initiated (first patient expected Q1 2026) .
What Went Wrong
- GAAP profitability optics: GAAP net income fell to $8.0M vs $11.6M a year ago, largely on a $6.4M impairment and higher SG&A (+22% y/y); non-GAAP net income still rose to $22.4M (+45% y/y) .
- V-Go contraction: net revenue fell to $3.8M (-19% y/y) tied to lower demand as product is no longer actively promoted .
- Elevated operating spend: SG&A up $5.2M (+22% y/y) to support Afrezza pediatric preparation and acquisition-related costs; R&D up 9% y/y given ICON-1 enrollment and MNKD-201 scale-up .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “We delivered a record revenue quarter of $82 million… We recorded our highest revenue quarter for TYVASO DPI, earning $33 million in royalties and $26 million in manufacturing related revenue.” (Michael Castagna) .
- “Afrezza grew 31% in new prescriptions and 27% in total prescriptions year over year… Afrezza grew 23% in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024.” (Michael Castagna) .
- “In the third quarter, total revenues grew 17% over the prior year to $82 million, driven primarily by royalties earned on TYVASO DPI… Non-GAAP Net Income was $22.4 million… non-GAAP EPS of $0.07.” (Chris Prentiss) .
- “FDA accepted for review the sBLA for Afrezza in the pediatric population… assigned a PDUFA date of May 29, 2026.” (Press release) .
- “FUROSCIX ReadyFlow Auto-Injector sNDA filing submitted… review acceptance decision expected by YE 2025.” (Press release) .
Q&A Highlights
- FUROSCIX competitive landscape and pricing: Management expects market expansion with multiple entrants; focus on smoothing, reimbursement support, and readiness to compete; ReadyFlow auto-injector expected to simplify admissions and reduce COGS, improving margins .
- Tyvaso DPI IPF bridging: UT likely to discuss a BREEZE-like bridging study with FDA following TETON-2; timing dependent on UT’s regulatory interactions .
- Afrezza label conversion dose: Update timing shifted; strategy is to improve initial dosing and titration to reduce “lack of effect” adverse events, supporting persistence and prescriber confidence .
- Balance sheet and deleveraging: $36M convert due March 1, 2026; near-term priority is investing in growth while addressing the convert “in the near term” .
- ICON-1 (NTM) interim: Trial ~90% powered; interim may drive sample-size adjustments or futility; FDA loosened ECG entry screening criteria; early OE safety signals supportive .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025 results vs S&P Global consensus: Revenue $82.13M vs $80.25M* (beat); Primary EPS (normalized) $0.07 vs $0.0188* (beat); 8 estimates for both EPS and revenue. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.03; note that S&P “Primary EPS” reflects normalized metrics, not GAAP . Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Revenue quality remains high with Tyvaso DPI driving consistent double-digit growth; combined royalties and manufacturing approached ~$60M in Q3, supporting durable cash generation ahead of potential IPF label expansion via bridging .
- Afrezza trajectory is improving with double-digit Rx growth and pediatric filing accepted; label conversion dose update should aid dosing accuracy and persistence, while a dedicated peds institutional strategy is being built for 2026 launch .
- Q3 non-GAAP EPS strength vs consensus was aided by recurring add-backs and operational execution; monitor GAAP-to-non-GAAP adjustments (impairment, FX, royalty sale accounting, stock comp) to assess earnings quality .
- SC Pharmaceuticals acquisition adds a new commercial pillar (FUROSCIX) with clear operational levers (ReadyFlow auto-injector, CAM build-out, hospital discharge protocols) to accelerate growth into 2026 .
- Expense growth reflects strategic investments (Afrezza peds launch prep, expanded field force, acquisition costs); expect SG&A elevated near-term with medium-term operating leverage contingent on commercial uptake .
- Balance sheet can support execution (9/30 cash/investments $286.3M; access to term loans); watch convert maturity (Mar 2026) and integration synergies to balance growth and deleveraging .
- Near-term stock catalysts: UT’s IPF DPI pathway clarity post TETON-2, FUROSCIX ReadyFlow sNDA acceptance decision by YE25, and ongoing ICON-1 enrollment progress; narrative skews positive on multiple fronts .
