REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (REGN)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2025 was a clean beat: revenue $3.75B (+1% YoY) and non-GAAP diluted EPS $11.83, both above Street; GAAP diluted EPS was $13.62, with a $0.68 headwind from acquired IPR&D charges . Versus S&P Global consensus, revenue beat by ~$0.17B (+4.6%)* and EPS by ~$2.19 (+22.7%)*.
  • Mix dynamics: Dupixent strength (Sanofi collaboration profit share +34% YoY) and Libtayo growth offset U.S. EYLEA 2mg declines; EYLEA HD demand remained strong but pricing pressured gross margin (non-GAAP GM on product sales 86% vs 89% in 3Q24) .
  • 2025 guidance was tightened: GAAP GM lowered (to ~82%), GAAP/Non-GAAP SG&A reduced, COCM and Capex lowered, GAAP ETR raised to ~14%; Non-GAAP ETR narrowed to ~12% .
  • Near-term catalysts: FDA decisions on EYLEA HD every-4-week/RVO sBLA (late Nov/Dec); remediation of prefilled syringe CRL via alternate filler in 1Q26; Libtayo adjuvant CSCC launch; investor “Roundtable” data drops (Factor XI Nov 10; oncology/obesity later) .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

  • What Went Well

    • Dupixent momentum: Regeneron’s share of antibody collaboration profits rose to $1.46B (from $1.09B), driven by higher Dupixent sales; global Dupixent net sales (Sanofi) grew 27% YoY to $4.86B .
    • Libtayo execution: Global net sales $365M (+26% YoY), with U.S. +12% and ROW +55% YoY; now approved as first/only immunotherapy in high-risk adjuvant CSCC; early launch traction and up to 10,000 addressable U.S. patients highlighted .
    • Pipeline/regulatory progress: Positive Phase 3 data across multiple programs (GMG, FOP, allergen-blocking antibodies) and DB-OTO voucher; CEO: “solid financial quarter” with progress across late-stage portfolio .
  • What Went Wrong

    • EYLEA 2mg headwinds: U.S. EYLEA net sales fell 41% YoY to $681M due to competition, affordability (shift to compounded bevacizumab), and conversion to EYLEA HD; total EYLEA franchise U.S. -28% YoY to $1.11B .
    • Manufacturing/filler bottlenecks: CRL for EYLEA HD prefilled syringe tied to Catalent OAI; alternate vial filler submitted (PDUFA late Dec) and alternate PFS filler submission planned by Jan 2026; label enhancements’ timing remains a gating factor .
    • Margin/tax drag: Non-GAAP product GM down to 86% (from 89% 3Q24) on manufacturing investments; GAAP ETR rose to 17.2% (from 10.2%) on the OBBBA deferred tax charge and lower option-exercise tax benefits .

Management Commentary

  • CEO tone: “Regeneron had a solid financial quarter and made progress across our late-stage portfolio…” .
  • Commercial focus: “EYLEA HD unit demand grew 18% QoQ… we anticipate sequential demand growth to moderate to high single digits as we await label enhancements.” – Marion McCourt .
  • Manufacturing self-sufficiency: “We expect our filling plant… to come online during the coming year,” to control biologics manufacturing end-to-end – Leonard Schleifer .
  • 2026 investment: “We currently expect a mid-teens % increase in R&D expense in 2026 relative to 2025.” – CFO Chris Fenimore .

Q&A Highlights

  • EYLEA HD strategy: Management avoided detailing pricing tactics but reiterated demand strength for HD and that material upswing awaits label enhancements; EYLEA 2mg demand expected to decline similarly in 4Q .
  • Filler remediation timeline: Alternate vial filler could enable approval alongside late-Nov/Dec PDUFAs; alternate PFS filler filing targeted by Jan 2026; nothing else outstanding on application per discussions with FDA .
  • Internal fill/finish: Company’s own filling capacity to come online next year, improving control over a past bottleneck .
  • Factor XI program: Focus on optimizing benefit–risk; see broader opportunities beyond SPAF where bleeding risk constrains anticoagulant use .
  • Lynozyfic expansion: Planning up to 10 registrational trials and pushing into earlier lines/pre-malignant settings; aiming to work with FDA on acceleration .

Estimates Context

  • Q3 2025: Revenue $3.75B vs $3.59B consensus (+4.6%); non-GAAP diluted EPS $11.83 vs $9.64 consensus (+22.7%), driven by Dupixent profit share and Libtayo growth offsetting U.S. EYLEA declines .
  • Q2 2025: Revenue $3.68B vs $3.28B (+12.1%); EPS $12.89 vs $8.44 (+52.7%) .
  • Q1 2025: Revenue $3.03B vs $3.24B (-6.5%); EPS $8.22 vs $8.48 (-3.0%); sequential recovery through Q2–Q3 .
    Values retrieved from S&P Global.*

Where estimates may adjust: modest upward revisions likely to EPS and revenue trajectories for 2H25–2026 tied to Dupixent profit share and Libtayo launch progression; margin expectations may embed sustained manufacturing investment and a higher GAAP ETR (~14%) .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Dupixent remains the engine: collaboration profit share hit $1.46B in Q3; durability across new indications (CSU, BP) underpins continued upside .
  • EYLEA HD afloat amid affordability pressure: unit demand is robust, but price mix caps revenue; label enhancements (every-4-week, RVO, prefilled syringe) are the near-term swing factor (late Nov/Dec/Jan timeline) .
  • Libtayo is a tangible second growth pillar: adjuvant CSCC approval with early traction plus lung expansion and 5-year OS data support sustained growth .
  • 2025 guidance mix shift: lower SG&A, COCM, and Capex offset lower GAAP GM and higher GAAP ETR—net implies disciplined OpEx with portfolio investment intact .
  • 2026 investment ramp: plan for mid-teens % R&D increase—pipeline catalysts (bispecifics, Factor XI, ophthalmology gene/immune targets) warrant longer-term capital deployment .
  • Manufacturing risk mitigation: internal filling capacity coming online in 2026 should reduce third-party filler risk exposure evident in recent CRLs .
  • Trading setup: into year-end, watch FDA timing on EYLEA HD filings (late Nov/Dec) and Roundtable data events; positive outcomes could re-accelerate HD adoption and support multiple expansion on pipeline visibility .
