Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (SRPT)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 2025 beat consensus on revenue and EPS despite operational headwinds: Total revenues were $399.4M vs S&P Global consensus $337.0M*, and non-GAAP diluted EPS was ($0.13) vs ($0.93)*. Net product revenue was $370.0M, comprised of $238.5M PMO and $131.5M ELEVIDYS .
  • ESSENCE confirmatory study for AMONDYS 45 and VYONDYS 53 missed the primary endpoint (p=0.309), but post-hoc COVID-free and prognostic-score analyses showed clinically meaningful trends; Sarepta will meet FDA to discuss a path to traditional approval supported by real-world evidence .
  • ELEVIDYS label discussions expected to conclude “soon,” with a boxed warning and removal of non-ambulatory from the Indications and Usage; Sarepta plans a sirolimus-based regimen study to potentially re-include non-ambulatory patients .
  • Liquidity and cost actions: management reported Q3 positive cash flow; cash and investments were $865.2M; completed a convertible debt exchange (recognized $138.6M loss on debt extinguishment) and recorded $40.5M restructuring charges .
  • Near-term setup: management expects Q4 ELEVIDYS infusions to be flat to slightly down vs Q3 (seasonality and restart frictions) but reiterated the ambulant ELEVIDYS annual revenue “floor” near $500M, framing 2026 as a re-acceleration year pending safety-label resolution and non-ambulatory pathway .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

  • What Went Well

    • Revenue/EPS beats versus consensus amid a disrupted quarter: total revenues $399.4M and non-GAAP EPS ($0.13) vs S&P Global estimates of $337.0M and ($0.93)*; “In Q3, we were cash flow positive” – CFO .
    • PMO franchise resilience and supportive evidence: Q3 PMO revenue $238.5M; ESSENCE showed favorable trends in COVID-free and high-risk subgroups; “These topline findings reinforce the potential impact of these therapies to slow muscle weakness” – Dr. Rodino‑Klapac .
    • Coverage and execution: “~220M lives have a path to coverage” for ambulatory ELEVIDYS, with no permanent coverage denials; 11 of 14 paused infusions were rescheduled in August – CCO .
  • What Went Wrong

    • Year-over-year revenue decline and gross cost uptick: Q3 revenues fell 15% YoY to $399.4M, primarily from a $49.5M decline in ELEVIDYS due to suspending non-ambulatory shipments; cost of sales rose by ~$59.1M on inventory transitions, write-offs, and manufacturing deposits impairment .
    • ESSENCE primary endpoint not met (p=0.309), elevating regulatory uncertainty; while management cites totality-of-evidence and RWE, conversion to traditional approval is not yet secured .
    • One-time charges weighed on GAAP: $40.5M restructuring expense and $138.6M loss on debt extinguishment tied to refinancing 2027 notes .

ELEVIDYS safety/labelFocus on launch growth; no label change details FDA lifted ambulatory pause; safety-label process underway Boxed warning agreed; non-ambulatory removed; plan sirolimus regimen to revisit label Tighter label with pathway to re-include non-ambulatory via risk mitigation
ELEVIDYS demand/coverageELEVIDYS revenue $375.0M Strong ELEVIDYS contribution; Japan approval milestone Restart disruptions; Q4 infusions flat-to-down; path to coverage ~220M lives; no permanent denials Near-term air pocket; payer stance stable
PMO confirmatory (ESSENCE)Missed primary; COVID-free and prognostic-score trends supportive; FDA meeting planned Building totality-of-evidence case
siRNA pipelineArrowhead collaboration closed; initial readouts “later 2025” DM1 milestone ($100M) and Arrowhead equity monetization Initial SAD/MAD readouts shifted to Q1 2026; programs advancing (DM1, FSHD, HD) Execution with timeline shift

Management Commentary

  • “In Q3, we were cash flow positive... we monetized strategic investments, completed a debt exchange... and significantly reduced our go-forward cost structure.” – CFO .
  • “We have agreed to a black box warning... and [to] remove non-ambulatory [from] Indications and Usage... we will discuss with FDA if data are sufficient to resume” – Dr. Rodino‑Klapac .
  • “ESSENCE... did not reach statistical significance on the primary endpoint... post-hoc COVID-free analysis showed ~30% reduction in disease progression; the totality of data and RWE support traditional approval.” – CEO/CSO .
  • “Approximately 220 million lives have a path to coverage [for] ambulatory [ELEVIDYS]... we’re not aware of a single permanent denial” – CCO .

Q&A Highlights

  • Regulatory path for PMOs: Management emphasized FDA’s prior written standard for continued authorization and believes totality-of-evidence (post-hoc analyses + RWE) supports conversion to traditional approval; risk of withdrawal seen as low by management .
  • ELEVIDYS trajectory: Expect Q4 infusions flat to slightly down due to restart frictions/seasonality; reiterated ~$500M ambulant floor; payer coverage stable; start forms rebuilding .
  • Safety mitigation strategy: Non-ambulatory re-introduction contingent on additional immunosuppression (sirolimus) data; ENDEAVOR Cohort 8 designed to demonstrate effectiveness; early external experience suggests acceptable safety, but formal data pending in 2026 .
  • EXONDYS (MISSION): Dose-ranging post-marketing commitment (not confirmatory) with readout expected in 2026; potential to adjust dose based on totality-of-benefit vs burden .
  • Opex cadence: Q4 combined non-GAAP R&D+SG&A guided to ~$420–$430M; FY non-GAAP ~$1.86B, reflecting Arrowhead milestones and cost restructuring .

Guidance Changes (Detail)

  • Q4 2025 combined non-GAAP R&D+SG&A: $420–$430M .
  • FY 2025 combined non-GAAP R&D+SG&A: ≈$1.86B (vs prior $1.784–$2.184B including Arrowhead costs) .
  • FY 2025 total net product revenues: no update vs prior $2.3–$2.6B (5/6/25) .
  • ELEVIDYS ambulant annual “floor” near $500M reiterated .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Core beat: Q3 handily beat on revenue and EPS despite non-ambulatory suspension; underlying demand and coverage support near-term stability with Q4 a seasonal/reset quarter .
  • Regulatory overhang manageable (per management): ESSENCE missed primary but supportive subgroup/COVID-free signals plus robust RWE underpin a path to maintain authorization and pursue traditional approval; watch for FDA meeting outcome in Q1 2026 timing window .
  • Label outcome imminent: Elevidys boxed warning and non-ambulatory removal expected “soon;” ENDEAVOR Cohort 8 sirolimus data in 2026 is the re-expansion catalyst .
  • 2026 setup: Restart momentum (start forms building), stable payer stance, and siRNA pipeline readouts (now targeted Q1 2026) are the medium-term stock drivers .
  • Balance sheet improved: Positive Q3 cash flow, $865M cash/investments, extended debt profile; one-time charges depressed GAAP but underlying non-GAAP operations close to breakeven .
  • Watch list: FDA label decision, timing/feedback on ESSENCE sNDA strategy, Q4 infusion trajectory versus “flat-to-down” outlook, and early 2026 siRNA data points .
