Executive summary

  • Achieved a transformative quarter with the first full commercial launch of AVLAYAH, generating $3.6 million in net product revenue and establishing a commercial foundation for the Enzyme Transport Vehicle (ETV) franchise.

  • Advanced two Transport Vehicle-enabled Alzheimer's disease programs (DNL628 and DNL921) into clinical development, with initial data expected in 2027.

  • Regained full ownership of DNL593 for FTD-GRN after Takeda terminated the collaboration; orphan drug designation granted and data expected in the first half of 2027.

  • Ended Q2 with $940 million in cash and marketable securities, bolstered to over $1.1 billion after the $195 million sale of a Priority Review Voucher in July.

  • Discontinued further development of BIIB122/DNL151 in idiopathic Parkinson's disease after Phase 2b LUMA study failed to meet endpoints; BEACON study continues for LRRK2 variant carriers.

Financial highlights

  • AVLAYAH generated $3.6 million in net product revenue in its first full commercial quarter.

  • Net loss for Q2 2026 was $127.6 million, compared to $124.1 million in Q2 2025.

  • Research and development expenses were $97 million, down from $102.7 million year-over-year.

  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses rose to $36.3 million from $32.3 million, driven by commercial launch activities.

  • Cash and marketable securities totaled $940 million at quarter end, pro forma exceeds $1.1 billion after PRV sale.

Outlook and guidance

  • Q3 net product revenue for AVLAYAH is expected to be $10–12 million, reflecting strong early adoption and expanding payer coverage.

  • The adoption curve is expected to accelerate as payer coverage and treatment center experience grow, with continued focus on expanding access and preparing for international expansion.

  • AVLAYAH product revenue anticipated to grow but not sufficient to offset operating expenses in the near term; continued operating losses expected as investments persist.

  • Initial clinical data for Alzheimer's programs DNL628 and DNL921, as well as DNL593, DNL952, and DNL151, anticipated in 2027.

  • Anticipates BLA submission and potential accelerated approval for zafinofusp alfa for Sanfilippo syndrome type A in 2027.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
