KalVista reports Q4 EPS ($1.12), consensus (96c)

Reports Q4 revenue $1.43M, consensus $2.09M. “This quarter marked a defining moment in the history of KalVista (KALV) with the FDA approval of EKTERLY-the first and only oral on-demand treatment for HAE,” stated Ben Palleiko, CEO of KalVista. “Approval and launch on the same day propelled us immediately into our next chapter of growth as a commercial company, and the response has been extraordinary. In just eight weeks following approval, we have received 460 patient start forms, representing almost five percent of the reported HAE patient population in the US. This early demand has exceeded our expectations, validating both the urgent unmet need that EKTERLY addresses and its potential to redefine management of HAE. Backed by a strong balance sheet and a world-class team, we are well positioned to maximize the global opportunity for EKTERLY to become the foundational therapy for people living with HAE.”
