ST
SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (SWTX)·Q3 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- OGSIVEO net product revenue was $49.3M, up 23% QoQ, with momentum driven by blister pack transition and broader prescriber adoption; cash and marketable securities were $498.1M and management reiterated an expectation to reach profitability in H1 2026 .
- Mirdametinib NDA received FDA Priority Review with a PDUFA action date of February 28, 2025; EMA MAA validated and under review, positioning the company for a potential second commercial product in early 2025 .
- Long-term DeFi data for OGSIVEO to be presented at CTOS show deeper responses and sustained symptomatic improvement over ~3 years of treatment, a narrative likely to support longer treatment duration and refills; >800 unique patients filled an OGSIVEO script in September and ~420 centers have ordered since approval .
- ICD-10 claims data identified ~10,000 unique desmoid tumor patients since October 2023, suggesting the addressable treated population is meaningfully larger than prior estimates, strengthening the multi-year growth case .
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q3 2024 was unavailable due to mapping; beats/misses vs estimates cannot be assessed this quarter (values from S&P Global unavailable).
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- OGSIVEO net product revenue rose to $49.3M (+23% QoQ) driven by strong demand and adoption across both centers of excellence and community physicians; August and September were the strongest months since launch .
- Launch execution and patient experience improved via 150mg/100mg blister packs (flat pricing across doses), enhancing adherence and refill predictability; ~65% of patients transitioned by quarter-end, with completion expected by year-end .
- Narrative for durable therapy strengthened: CTOS late-breaking long-term DeFi data show further tumor reductions, increased ORR (new PRs/CRs), sustained PRO improvements, and decreasing TEAE incidence over years two to four .
- CEO: “We have only scratched the surface of OGSIVEO’s opportunity… and are poised for success…” .
What Went Wrong
- Phase 2 monotherapy data for nirogacestat in ovarian granulosa cell tumors pushed to H1 2025 from prior 2H 2024 timelines, a delay in that readout .
- SG&A rose to $61.6M (from $46.5M YoY) and R&D to $42.3M (from $37.5M YoY), reflecting launch readiness and pipeline execution; though strategically aligned, these increased expenses weighed on net loss .
- Short-term operational friction: blister pack transition (new Rx required for some patients) and typical summer seasonality impacted July new starts, albeit offset by strong August/September .

Management Commentary
- CEO: “We have only scratched the surface of OGSIVEO’s opportunity to benefit patients with desmoid tumors and are poised for success…” .
- CCO: “In September, over 800 unique patients filled a prescription… ~65% are on blister packs… we expect to complete the transition by year-end” .
- CFO: “We believe our balance sheet will be sufficient to fully fund our operations through profitability… in the first half of 2026” .
- CMO (on DeFi long-term): “Longer-term treatment… associated with further reductions in tumor size… increased PRs and CRs… sustained improvements… and a consistent safety profile” .
Q&A Highlights
- Blister pack transition caused ~two-week Rx delays for many patients, mostly in July; trend reversed with record August and September; benefits include reduced pill burden, improved adherence, and flat pricing between 100mg/150mg .
- ICD-10 desmoid-specific codes indicate underestimation of treated population; ~10,000 unique patients identified in <1 year, with continued adoption expected .
- Momentum into Q4: management sees “acceleration” with patient stacking and improved refills; no signs of abatement in trends going into October/November .
- Patient mix: newly diagnosed, watch-and-wait transitioning to active therapy, and switches from TKIs/chemo/surgery; no specific skew identified .
- Discontinuations remain low (<10%); dose reductions to be better quantified post full blister adoption; DeFi protocol saw ~40% dose reductions, providing a reference .
Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for Q3 2024 revenue/EPS were unavailable due to a CIQ mapping issue for SWTX; as a result, we cannot assess beats/misses vs consensus this quarter (values from S&P Global unavailable).
- Management provided no quantitative revenue/EPS guidance; operational/milestone guidance focused on regulatory timelines and profitability timing .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- OGSIVEO growth is compounding: +23% QoQ revenue with operational tailwinds from blister packs, broader community adoption, and expanding identifiable patient pool via ICD-10; momentum should carry into Q4 .
- Long-duration therapy case is strengthening: CTOS data indicate deeper responses and sustained PROs over ~3 years, supporting longer treatment durations and refills—a structural driver for revenue durability .
- 2025 is a dual-launch year potential: mirdametinib Priority Review (Feb 28, 2025 PDUFA) plus OGSIVEO EU approval targeted H1 2025; commercial infrastructure build-out in Europe underway .
- Capital runway and profitability timeline provide de-risking: $498.1M cash/marketable securities and path to profitability in H1 2026 enable sustained investment in launches and pipeline .
- Near-term catalysts: CTOS long-term DeFi presentation (Nov), SNO mirdametinib data (Nov), ongoing EU regulatory reviews, and continued U.S. OGSIVEO adoption—all potential stock reaction drivers .
- Watch execution on delayed granulosa cell tumor readout (shifted to H1 2025); any further delays could modestly temper pipeline contribution assumptions .
- Tactical trading implication: strength into Q4 as blister transition completes and refill predictability increases; attention on Feb 28, 2025 PDUFA as a binary catalyst and EU approval windows in H1 2025 .
