Key Q&A
Q:Can you provide high-level commentary on the multiyear opportunity for Cortrophin and potential peak sales?
A:Management believes in a significant multiyear growth opportunity for Cortrophin, driven by underpenetrated patient populations across indications. They are investing in commercial initiatives, enhancing patient convenience, and advancing clinical trials. They anticipate a strong growth runway for the category and Cortrophin, with a blended royalty rate in the high 20s in 2026.
Q:How are you thinking about operating leverage and the promotion intensity for the gout indication?
A:Management is balancing growth and profitability, with EBITDA growth of 20%-26% in 2025 and maintaining EBITDA margin percentage in 2026 despite significant investments. They expect partial impact from the gout expansion in 2026 and full impact in 2027. Further expansions depend on the addressable patient population.
Q:Can you discuss the duration of treatment and value of patients across different indications for Cortrophin?
A:The duration of treatment varies by indication. Sarcoidosis has longer use and more vials per patient, while acute gouty arthritis flares require fewer vials per patient.
Q:What is the focus of the additional 90-person organization for gout, and can it be leveraged for other indications or products?
A:The 90-person organization, primarily sales-focused, targets the gout opportunity but can also address other indications treated by primary care and podiatry. It can be leveraged for additional products in the future. The primary focus is on 7,000 HCPs treating severe acute gouty arthritis flares.
Q:What are your plans for business development and financing future opportunities?
A:Management plans to accrue cash for future business development and M&A activities, taking a balanced approach to financing. They aim to maintain a conservative leverage ratio, as seen in past acquisitions, and focus on organic deleveraging.
Q:How do you address concerns about the second-half weighted performance and PCPs prescribing an expensive product for gout?
A:Management is confident in the large underpenetrated market opportunity, successful pilot programs, and Cortrophin being the only approved ACTH product for gout. They expect the new field force to drive results in Q3 and Q4 of 2026, with full realization in 2027.
Q:Are there any recent changes in patient access or payer coverage for Cortrophin Gel?
A:Management has not observed material changes in patient access or payer coverage. They continue to target appropriate late-line therapy patients.
Q:What are your expectations for the percentage of Cortrophin utilization from gout in 2026 and 2027?
A:Management expects the percentage of utilization from gout to increase significantly with the sales force expansion but did not provide specific numbers.
Q:Can you provide details on the Cortrophin pilot programs in primary care and podiatry?
A:Pilot programs across 10 territories provided insights into identifying appropriate patients, working with offices, and targeting 7,000 HCPs treating severe gout flares. These learnings are being implemented in the sales force expansion.
Q:What is the progress on ILUVIEN and specialty pharmacy access?
A:Prominent practices are adopting alternate access channels for Medicare patients. Foundation funding has been limited, and guidance does not assume its return. Investments in marketing, medical affairs, and commercial team are ongoing to support ILUVIEN.
Q:What is the cadence for generics product launches and erosion?
A:Management plans 10-15 generics launches to support growth and cash flow, reinvesting into rare disease transformation.
Q:How is the ACTH market shaping up, and is it more about market expansion or share capture?
A:The ACTH market is significantly underpenetrated across indications, with growth driven by market expansion rather than share capture. Management focuses on reaching appropriate patients and expanding the market.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific peak sales numbers for Cortrophin and did not detail the expected percentage increase in utilization from gout in 2026 and 2027. They also did not comment on active or non-active business development initiatives with partners like Merck.
