The earnings call reflects a positive trajectory for Apellis with significant achievements such as FDA approval for EMPAVELI's expanded label, continued market leadership of SYFOVRE, and strong financial positioning. However, challenges such as high free goods usage affecting revenue and ongoing funding shortages for patient assistance programs present areas of concern.
Company Guidance
During the second quarter of 2025, Apellis Pharmaceuticals reported total revenue of $178 million, including $151 million from SYFOVRE sales, which experienced a 6% increase in demand quarter-over-quarter. SYFOVRE maintained its market leadership in geographic atrophy (GA) with over 60% market share and 55% of new patient starts. However, revenue was impacted by approximately $13 million due to high utilization of free goods related to funding shortages in co-pay assistance programs. EMPAVELI generated $21 million in revenue, marking a 5% increase quarter-over-quarter, with patient compliance rates at 97%. The company anticipates meaningful revenue from EMPAVELI's new label expansion for C3G and primary IC-MPGN in the fourth quarter. Apellis ended the quarter with $370 million in cash and cash equivalents, bolstered by a $275 million upfront payment from a capped royalty agreement with Sobi. Operating expenses were $212 million, and the company expects these to remain consistent year-over-year.
