SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (SWTX)·Q2 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2024 delivered strong commercial momentum: OGSIVEO net product revenue rose to $40.2M, driving total revenue to $59.7M (includes a one-time $19.5M “other revenue” from GSK license termination), and EPS improved to $(0.54) from $(1.18) in Q1 and $(1.25) in Q2 2023 .
- Mirdametinib NDA submission was completed; subsequent FDA acceptance with Priority Review (PDUFA Feb 28, 2025) and EMA MAA validation were announced later in August, setting up a 2025 second product launch catalyst .
- Operating discipline continues amid launch buildout: SG&A $57.8M and R&D $44.4M reflect go-to-market for OGSIVEO and commercial readiness for mirdametinib; cash and marketable securities stood at $521.9M, underpinning a “path to profitability” narrative .
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q2 2024 EPS and revenue were unavailable, preventing formal beat/miss determination; however, qualitative demand signals and minimal inventory effects suggest underlying demand strength .
- Key stock catalysts: ongoing OGSIVEO adoption breadth/depth, DeFi long-term follow-up data (2H24), ovarian granulosa cell tumor readout (2H24), and mirdametinib regulatory timeline (Priority Review with Feb 2025 action date) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Strong OGSIVEO revenue ramp: $40.2M net product revenue in Q2, with positive prescriber feedback and broad reimbursement; CEO: “strong momentum of our U.S. launch” .
- Coverage progress and physician adoption: “formal coverage policies are in place for over 90% of commercially covered lives”; OGSIVEO “NCCN category 1 preferred treatment” driving front-line use .
- Pipeline/regulatory execution: mirdametinib NDA submission (Q2) followed by FDA Priority Review and EMA validation in Aug; company “expects path to second medicine in 2025” .
-
What Went Wrong
- Elevated OpEx to support launches: SG&A $57.8M (+$10.8M YoY) and R&D $44.4M (+$8.5M YoY) pressured losses despite revenue growth .
- One-time revenue contribution: $19.5M “other revenue” from GSK license termination inflated total revenue; recurring revenue growth needs to be parsed vs non-recurring items .
- Seasonality risks: management acknowledged potential summer seasonality in Q3, tempering near-term trajectory expectations despite robust demand signals .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- “We are very pleased with the continued strong momentum of our U.S. launch of OGSIVEO… completed the submission of our NDA for mirdametinib… potentially have our second medicine available for patients in 2025.” — CEO Saqib Islam .
- “OGSIVEO is already the most prescribed systemic therapies for adults with desmoid tumors... $40.2 million in net product revenue.” — CCO Bhavesh Ashar .
- “We have a strong balance sheet supporting our clear path to profitability with $522 million in cash… as of the end of the second quarter.” — CFO Francis Perier .
- “Inventory impact in the second quarter was minimal… inventory was not a key driver of performance.” — CCO Bhavesh Ashar .
- “We expect to see some seasonality in the summer months.” — CEO Saqib Islam .
Q&A Highlights
- Demand composition and prescriber behavior: Increasing mix from existing patient refills with continued new patient starts; opportunity to move “wait-and-watch” patients to treatment as guidelines favor systemic therapy .
- Community adoption and targeting: Minimal inventory impact; improved clinic targeting using desmoid tumor ICD-10 codes to be “in the right place at the right time” for community centers .
- Seasonality and discontinuations: Some summer seasonality expected; discontinuations tracking to DeFi expectations; feedback highlights rapid pain relief and persistence on therapy .
- Mirdametinib launch dynamics: Significant “white space” in adults (3/4 of market) with no approved therapy; pediatric market minimally penetrated—expect initial adoption across untreated segments .
- Guidance clarity: PDUFA date timing expected about 60 days from filing (subsequently confirmed late August); no guidance on accelerated review beyond Priority Review .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q2 2024 EPS and revenue were unavailable due to mapping constraints; as a result, formal beat/miss assessment versus S&P consensus cannot be determined. Attempted retrieval of “Primary EPS Consensus Mean,” “Revenue Consensus Mean,” and “# of Estimates” for Q2 2024 returned unavailable; therefore, we note estimates were not accessible for this period.
- Implication: Investors should focus on qualitative indicators (prescriber breadth/depth, minimal inventory effects, broad payer coverage, and ongoing milestones) for near-term trajectory until consensus access is restored .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- OGSIVEO growth remains demand-led with minimal inventory effects; broad coverage and NCCN Cat-1 preferred status underpin continued adoption depth in COEs and breadth in community settings .
- Expect some Q3 seasonality; however, growing patient pool visibility (ICD-10) and strong real-world symptom relief feedback support sustained trajectory into 2H24 .
- One-time $19.5M “other revenue” boosted Q2 total revenue—model recurring OGSIVEO performance separately from non-recurring items .
- Near-term catalysts: DeFi long-term follow-up data (extended treatment duration signal), OGCT Phase 2 initial data, continuous MM combination readouts .
- Medium-term thesis: Mirdametinib Priority Review (PDUFA Feb 28, 2025) with adult first-in-class potential and pediatric best-in-class profile creates a second, sizable commercial opportunity; EMA validation broadens geographic scope .
- Balance sheet ($521.9M cash and marketable securities) supports commercialization and pipeline execution toward profitability—monitor OpEx discipline as launch and readiness activities scale .
- Without accessible S&P consensus, treat Q2 as a clean demand read; once consensus mapping is available, reassess beat/miss and update trading stance accordingly.
