Key Takeaways for Investors

• UGN‑102 regulatory path is the primary near‑term catalyst: ODAC on May 21 and PDUFA on June 13; company is fully launch‑ready for July availability, including sales force expansion and payer engagement .
• Q1 miss vs consensus was driven by gross‑to‑net and spending ahead of UGN‑102 launch; underlying demand (+12% YoY) remained healthy, and GTN headwinds are stabilizing per CFO commentary .
• Guidance held for FY2025 revenue ($94–$98M for JELMYTO) and operating expenses ($215–$225M), implying confidence in demand and expense control despite Q1 variance .
• Balance sheet supports execution: $200.4M cash and marketable securities at quarter‑end; adequate to fund launch and pipeline milestones through near‑term catalysts .
• Pipeline progression adds optionality: UGN‑103 enrollment completion mid‑2025; UGN‑104 Phase 3 initiation by mid‑2025; UGN‑301 go/no‑go later in 2025; UGN‑501 expands into oncolytic therapy .
• Trading implications: Stock likely sensitive to ODAC tone/vote and PDUFA outcome; post‑approval, watch J‑code timing, payer coverage velocity, and early adoption in targeted patient segments .
• Medium‑term thesis: If approved, UGN‑102 can materially expand TAM (~$5B), with community urology alignment, simpler administration, and potential for favorable GTN mix over time .
