TG THERAPEUTICS, INC. (TGTX)·Q4 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q4 delivered record revenue and profitability: product revenue, net rose to $107.3M (U.S. BRIUMVI $103.6M), total revenue $108.2M, GAAP diluted EPS $0.15, and net income $23.3M, driven by continued U.S. BRIUMVI adoption and initial ex-U.S. shipments to partner Neuraxpharm .
- Management introduced 2025 guidance targeting ~$540M total global revenue (U.S. BRIUMVI ~$525M) and OpEx of ~$300M (ex‑non‑cash), and guided Q1 2025 U.S. BRIUMVI net revenue of ~$115M, underscoring confidence in growth trajectory .
- Sequential operating momentum continued (Q2→Q3→Q4 product revenue: $72.6M → $83.3M → $107.3M); gross margin optics in Q4 were modestly impacted by lower‑margin partner shipments embedded in COGS, but underlying U.S. margin consistency was reiterated .
- Strategic milestones de‑risk the outlook: three U.S. patents extend BRIUMVI protection through 2042; subcutaneous (SC) formulation and IV administration enhancements (30‑minute maintenance infusion; consolidated day‑1 dosing) advance toward pivotal programs; EU/UK launch progressed via Neuraxpharm .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Robust commercial execution: U.S. BRIUMVI net sales reached $103.6M in Q4 (24% QoQ), driving total product revenue, net to $107.3M and GAAP diluted EPS to $0.15 .
- Positive early 2025 read‑through and raised bar: management called out record Jan/Feb enrollments in the hub and guided ~$115M U.S. BRIUMVI net revenue for Q1 2025; full‑year 2025 targets set at
$540M global/$525M U.S. . - Strategic and clinical differentiation: five‑year ULTIMATE data show 92% free of disability progression and ARR 0.02 in year 5; ENHANCE shows feasibility of 30‑minute maintenance infusion and direct switching from other anti‑CD20s without the 150 mg load (97% infusions completed without slowing); CEO: “2024 was a year of significant outperformance and growth… strong adoption of BRIUMVI… strengthening our BRIUMVI patent portfolio through 2042” .
What Went Wrong
- Gross margin optics in Q4: CFO noted cost of goods included lower‑margin ex‑U.S. partner shipments (~$3.7M revenue), creating the appearance of an unfavorable gross margin impact in the quarter vs U.S. commercial sales; underlying gross margin otherwise consistent .
- Elevated interest expense YoY: interest expense was $7.1M in Q4 2024 vs $2.4M in Q4 2023 following the $250M credit facility, though partly offset by higher operating income .
- Consensus estimates: S&P Global consensus for Q4 and near‑term periods was unavailable at time of analysis due to SPGI request limits, limiting beat/miss benchmarking (see Estimates Context).

- SC path: “target is to get this going… by middle of the year… whether it’s going to be every 2 months or every 3 months… yet to be determined” .
- Label enhancement path: “We hope to have a … PDUFA date for [consolidated day‑1] by mid ’27” .
Q&A Highlights
- Q1 and FY25 outlook: Robust early 2025 demand; Q1 U.S. BRIUMVI net revenue guided to ~$115M; confident in meeting/exceeding FY25 ~$525M U.S. target .
- Gross‑to‑net: Expect 70%–75% with quarterly fluctuations .
- Subcutaneous program: Pivotal targeted mid‑2025; regimen could be every 2 or 3 months; study size ~125–150 per arm; ~12‑month enrollment .
- IV administration enhancements: Randomized safety studies planned for 30‑minute infusion; consolidated day‑1 dosing could move fastest; potential mid‑2027 PDUFA .
- Share trends: Dynamic share “about 1 in 4” IV CD20 starts; hospital setting accounts for most growth .
- Manufacturing redundancy: FUJIFILM secondary site won’t impact near‑term gross margin; upfront costs in R&D .
Estimates Context
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for Q4 2024 revenue/EPS and near‑term periods was unavailable due to SPGI daily request limits at time of retrieval. As a result, explicit beat/miss versus consensus cannot be stated here. Management did exceed its own FY24 U.S. BRIUMVI target ($310M actual vs $300–$305M prior guide) and introduced FY25 targets (
$540M global/$525M U.S.), along with a Q1 2025 U.S. outlook of ~$115M .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Commercial engine is scaling: sequential product revenue acceleration ($72.6M → $83.3M → $107.3M) and positive EPS ($0.15) signal operating leverage as BRIUMVI penetration deepens, especially in hospitals .
- 2025 guide and Q1 preview frame upside:
$540M total/$525M U.S. targets and ~$115M Q1 U.S. point to sustained momentum; watch realization vs seasonality and access dynamics . - Differentiated profile continues to firm: long‑term efficacy/safety and ENHANCE updates (30‑minute infusion; direct switches) support share gains; pivotal programs could catalyze label evolution by mid‑2027 .
- Margin watch‑items: Partner shipments can temporarily dilute reported gross margin mix; underlying U.S. gross margin described as consistent—track mix and ex‑U.S. ramp .
- Investment phase in 2025: OpEx stepping to ~$300M (ex‑non‑cash) to fund SC pivotal, IV enhancements, commercialization, and azer‑cel initiation—balanced by profitability and $311M cash .
- Competitive lens: Early commentary suggests limited impact from new entrants to date; dynamic share improving; gross‑to‑net 70–75% is a key assumption to monitor .
- Pipeline optionality: SC BRIUMVI, IV administration improvements, and azer‑cel in autoimmune diseases provide medium‑term catalysts beyond core RMS .
