⭐ Key Highlights
✔Positive Signals
- Positive Phase 3 results for Infogratinib in achondroplasia with best-in-class efficacy and favorable safety profile
- Atruby delivered strong Q4 revenue and accelerating new patient starts, signaling durable uptake
- Clear path to cash-flow generation by 2028 with expected >$600 million in profit from post-Phase 3 assets
- Launch readiness for Encalorate and BBP-418 targeting late 2026/early 2027 and pipeline momentum across multiple assets
- Strategic capital structure supports ongoing launches with a cash runway from convertible notes and a substantial balance sheet
✖Negative Signals
- Stock price volatility tied to tafamidis IP uncertainties and potential generic entry
- Rising SG&A costs tied to commercial launches may pressure near-term margins
- High expectations for rapid global launches; execution risk across multiple geographies
- IP outcomes remain uncertain in the US, creating some near-term regulatory/commercial ambiguity
- Dilutive effects from increased operating expenses as launches accelerate
📊Financial Results
- Q4 2025 total revenues of $154.2 million, consisting of Atriby net product revenue $146.0 million, royalty $5.3 million, and license/service $2.9 million
- Full-year 2025 total revenues of $502.1 million, up from $221.9 million in 2024; main driver was Atruby net product revenue (+$359.5 million)
- Q4 2025 operating costs and expenses $293.7 million vs $231.9 million prior year; SG&A up by $63.3 million, partially offset by a $13.9 million decrease in R&D
- Full-year 2025 operating costs and expenses $1,000.0 million vs $814.9 million in 2024; SG&A up ~$242.3 million, offset by $54.9 million decrease in R&D
- Year-end 2025 cash and equivalents around $587.5 million; January 2026, issued $632.5 million of 2033 convertible notes to extend runway
🔮Future Guidance
- Launch of Encalorate and BBP-418 expected in late 2026 or early 2027; ongoing commercial expansion beyond Atruby with new geographies
- Cash burn projected to hold steady through the current year as launches ramp, then decline toward end of year as Atruby revenue contributes more meaningfully
- Projected 2028 cash-flow generation and >$600 million profit from the post-Phase 3 portfolio, assuming no major changes in capital strategy or cost of capital
- Non-dilutive funding avenues (PRVs) expected to contribute further to capital efficiency; three programs already designated for Rare Pediatric Disease with PRV potential
💡Interesting Insights
- MIT-sponsored Revenue Institute analysis suggests oral launches can expand the addressable market by ~170% over five years, which could materially amplify Infogratinib's long-run peak-share opportunity in achondroplasia and related indications
