Risk or Challenges
ELEVIDYS Safety Concerns: The safety events of 2025, including tragic incidents, reshaped perceptions of gene therapy and ELEVIDYS specifically. This has created hesitancy among patients and physicians, impacting demand and requiring significant educational efforts to address information deficits.
Delayed Commercial Impact of ELEVIDYS Initiatives: The long cycle time for ELEVIDYS treatments and the timing of educational initiatives mean that the impact on demand may not be seen until the second half of 2026, potentially affecting near-term sales.
Inventory and Production Challenges: A review of raw material inventory led to a $193 million charge for excess inventory and purchase commitment cancellations. This reflects challenges in aligning production with demand and avoiding waste.
Regulatory and Approval Risks: The company is awaiting FDA decisions on transitioning AMONDYS and VYONDYS to traditional approval and on the pathway for resuming ELEVIDYS treatment in non-ambulatory patients. These regulatory uncertainties could impact future operations and revenue.
Market Hesitancy and Information Deficit: There is an information imbalance regarding the benefits and risks of ELEVIDYS, leading to treatment hesitancy among patients and physicians. This requires extensive educational efforts to rebuild confidence.
Economic and Financial Pressures: Despite a strong financial position, the company faces pressures from high costs, including a $200 million milestone payment to Arrowhead and significant R&D and SG&A expenses. These costs could strain profitability if revenue growth does not meet expectations.
Pipeline and Development Risks: The success of the siRNA pipeline and other programs is critical for future growth, but these programs are still in early stages and carry inherent risks of failure or delays.

Guidance & Outlook
Revenue Guidance for 2026: Sarepta expects total net product revenue for 2026 to be in the range of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion for its approved therapies. The company advises modeling towards the low end of the range due to the timing of educational initiatives and long cycle times for ELEVIDYS.
ELEVIDYS Revenue Expectations: ELEVIDYS revenue is expected to be influenced by educational efforts to address information deficits. Near-term sales may be impacted, but the ultimate opportunity remains significant. The company anticipates seeing the impact of these efforts well into the second half of 2026.
ELEVIDYS Market Opportunity: The majority of Duchenne patients remain untreated, presenting a significant opportunity. Sarepta plans to address information deficits to ensure patients and physicians are informed about ELEVIDYS' benefits.
ELEVIDYS Non-Ambulatory Patient Study: A sirolimus pretreatment study for non-ambulatory patients is underway, with results expected by the end of 2026. Positive results could lead to discussions with the FDA for resuming commercial dosing in this population.
ELEVIDYS Long-Term Data: Three-year EMBARK data shows significant and durable efficacy, with a 73% slowing of disease progression in time to rise and a 70% slowing in the 10-meter walk run. This data supports ELEVIDYS as a disease-modifying therapy.
Pipeline Advancements: Sarepta is advancing its siRNA pipeline with five clinical-stage programs targeting neuromuscular, pulmonary, and CNS diseases. Preliminary data for DM1 and FSHD programs is expected by the end of Q1 2026.
Financial Position: Sarepta expects to be cash flow positive and profitable on a non-GAAP basis in 2026, supported by a strong cash balance and disciplined financial execution.
Gross Margin Expectations: Margins are expected to improve in 2026, with unit volume margins in the high 70% range.
Collaboration Revenue: Sarepta anticipates $450 million to $550 million in collaboration, contract manufacturing, and royalty revenues in 2026, including a $40 million milestone payment from Roche.

Key Q&A
Q:How does the Board view internal versus external candidates for the CEO position?
A:The Board is considering both internal and external candidates seriously. They aim to choose someone who understands the challenges, can execute plans, lead the team, and shares the company's cultural values. The CEO emphasized the importance of continuity and the exceptional team at the company.
Q:What are the key metrics for evaluating the success of ELEVIDYS in the first half of the year?
A:Key metrics include enrollment forms, infusions, regional advisory boards, and market research. These metrics will help assess whether people are embracing and understanding the data on the therapy.
Q:What benchmarks should be considered for siRNA readouts in 1Q?
A:The focus should be on safety and muscle concentration. Preclinical data suggest that the therapy can achieve greater muscle concentration safely, which is critical for knockdown and downstream splicing.
Q:When will Sarepta be ready to start pivotal studies for DM1 and FSHD?
A:The company is working towards Phase III studies, informed by the MAD study and manufacturing readiness. The timing for accelerated approval will depend on the state of the environment and other companies' approvals.
Q:How are clinicians currently risk stratifying patients for ELEVIDYS?
A:Clinicians consider factors like liver enzymes, age, weight, steroid exposure, and concomitant medications. Some physicians lean towards younger patients, and about 25% of sites are using sirolimus proactively.
Q:What is the size of the Japanese market for ELEVIDYS, and what is the potential for non-ambulatory patient treatment?
A:The Japanese market is significant due to its advanced healthcare system and large population. Roche is leading the launch in Japan. The potential for non-ambulatory patient treatment would require additional activities and approvals.
Q:What are the quarterly dynamics and guidance for ELEVIDYS?
A:Quarterly dynamics can be noisy due to the rare disease nature and high cost per patient. Guidance for 1Q is flat to 15% down, with a full-year range of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion. Educational efforts and enrollment-to-infusion time will impact revenue, with significant acceleration expected in the second half of the year.
Q:What PD data should be anticipated for DM1 and FSHD in the upcoming readouts?
A:For DM1, early DMPK knockdown data will be shared. For FSHD, DUX4 target gene correction data will be provided. Splicing data for DM1 will be available in the second half of the year.
Q:What is the status of the ENDEAVOR Cohort 8 trial?
A:There is significant interest in Cohort 8, with screening ongoing. Dosing is expected soon, and data will be presented by the end of the year.
Q:What is the impact of DMD being added to the federal recommended uniform screening panel?
A:This is a significant development, but the impact will take time as states roll out the recommendation. ELEVIDYS is currently approved for boys aged four years and older, so lowering the age range will be necessary to fully benefit from newborn screening.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing direct answers or lacked clarity on the following: 1. Specific size and ordering dynamics of the Japanese market for ELEVIDYS, deferring to Roche for details. 2. Exact timing and benchmarks for pivotal studies for DM1 and FSHD, stating it depends on various factors. 3. Details on the impact of PMO competition and dual use with ELEVIDYS, providing only general observations. 4. Specific enrollment numbers for ENDEAVOR Cohort 8, stating only that screening is ongoing. 5. Precise timing for state-level implementation of DMD newborn screening and its immediate impact on ELEVIDYS demand.
