Transition period summary
25 Mar, 2026Executive summary
EKTERLY, the first oral on-demand treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE), launched in the U.S. in July 2025, generating $49.1 million in global net product revenue during the eight months ended December 31, 2025, with rapid adoption and strong patient and physician engagement.
1,702 patient start forms received in the U.S. since launch, representing nearly 20% of the U.S. HAE population and 724 unique prescribers as of February 2026.
EKTERLY launched in Germany and Japan, with global expansion plans and partnerships in Latin America to broaden access.
EKTERLY is now recommended as a first-line therapy for adolescents in international guidelines, reflecting robust clinical data and high satisfaction.
Completed enrollment in the Phase 3 KONFIDENT-KID trial for pediatric HAE patients a year ahead of schedule.
Financial highlights
Net product revenue for the eight-month period ended December 31, 2025, was $49.1 million, with $35.4 million generated in Q4, aided by specialty pharmacy inventory build-up.
Total operating expenses were $160.2 million, up from $117 million in the prior year period, reflecting commercial launch investments.
Operating loss was $112 million, slightly improved from $117 million in the prior year period; net loss was $109.5 million.
Cost of revenue was $3.1 million, with most inventory sold in 2025 previously expensed to R&D.
R&D expenses decreased to $33.4 million due to lower clinical trial costs and reclassification of expenses.
Outlook and guidance
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $300.2 million at year-end 2025 are expected to fund operations through profitability.
Operating expenses are expected to remain consistent on a 12-month basis, except for a meaningful increase in cost of revenue as zero-cost inventory is depleted.
No formal revenue guidance provided due to early stage of launch, but management expects continued linear growth in patient demand and commercial metrics.
NDA submission for pediatric use (ages 2–11) planned for Q3 2026, targeting a potential U.S. launch in 2027.
Additional international market expansions are planned for 2026.
