Record Revenue and Guidance Upside
U.S. BRIUMVI net product revenue of ~$195M in Q1, above guidance of $185M–$190M and up 63% year-over-year; global revenue exceeded $200M and total revenue was $205M (including $3.6M license/royalty). Company raised full-year U.S. revenue guidance to $885M–$900M, full-year global revenue guidance to ~$925M, and is targeting Q2 U.S. revenue of ~ $220M. Management expects to approach a $1B annualized run rate before year-end.
Strong Profitability and Liquidity
Operating income of $34.8M in Q1 versus $8.6M a year ago (≈305% increase). Net income was $19.8M ($0.12/diluted) vs $5.1M ($0.03) a year ago (≈288% increase). Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities ended Q1 at ~$573M, up from roughly $200M at year-end (~186% increase), providing financial flexibility.
Robust Commercial Momentum and Patient Adoption
More than 25,000 patients prescribed BRIUMVI globally. Company reported its 12th consecutive quarter of sequential growth since launch, record new patient enrollments in Q1 with March the highest month ever, and an increasing mix of treatment‑naive patients—signaled as the strongest leading indicator for long-term share.
Near-Term Clinical Catalysts and Lifecycle Expansion
Phase III ENHANCE topline data (consolidated dosing eliminating day-15 infusion) and Phase I bioavailability data expected in the coming weeks. Subcutaneous Phase III study is fully enrolled with topline data expected year-end/early next year and a potential 2028 commercial launch if positive — a program management expects could nearly double the addressable market by enabling participation in both IV and subcutaneous anti-CD20 segments.
Strong Real-World and Long-Term Clinical Data
Five‑year follow-up data from ULTIMATE I & II open‑label extension published in JAMA Neurology demonstrating sustained efficacy and consistent safety/tolerability. AAN real-world data showed rapid, sustained B‑cell depletion, low annualized relapse rates, favorable infusion experience, and improvement in patient‑reported 'wearing off' after switching to BRIUMVI.
Disciplined Capital Allocation and Share Repurchases
Expanded Blue Owl financing to enhance flexibility; repurchased ~$100M of stock during the quarter (over 3M shares at ~ $30 average). Since program launch, repurchased ~6.8M shares at ~ $29 average (~5% of shares outstanding), while remaining opportunistic on business development.
Pipeline Diversification Beyond Relapsing MS
Advancing additional programs including planned Phase II (potentially registration‑directed) in myasthenia gravis, an exploratory study in treatment‑resistant schizophrenia, and progress on allogeneic anti‑CD19 CAR‑T (azer‑cel) in progressive MS — with clinical sites expressing higher demand than available slots.
Revenue Growth Outpacing Expense Growth with Clear Guidance
Q1 OpEx (R&D + SG&A, ex stock comp) was ~$117M while management stated revenue growth continues to outpace expense growth. Reiterated full-year OpEx guidance of ~ $350M (ex stock comp) plus ~$100M for subcutaneous manufacturing/secondary manufacturer start-up, showing a planning framework for near-term investments.
