Operating Highlights
Cortrophin Gel: Net revenue nearly doubled compared to Q3 2024, with a year-over-year growth of 75%-78% expected for 2025. A prefilled syringe was launched in Q2 2025, reducing administration steps and driving demand. A Phase IV clinical trial is underway for acute gouty arthritis flares.

Retina Market: The addressable patient population for ILUVIEN in DME and NIU-PS is estimated to be 10x the current treated population. Efforts are underway to increase adoption and awareness.
Generics Business: Strong Q3 performance due to a partnered generic launch, with full-year growth expected in the low 20% range. Generics provide foundational support for Rare Disease investments.

Risk or Challenges
ILUVIEN sales challenges: ILUVIEN sales in the third quarter were lower due to reduced access for Medicare patients and the utilization of remaining YUTIQ units at physician offices. Additionally, there are ongoing market access challenges for Medicare patients, including insufficient funding for patient support foundations like Good Days, which affects co-pay support.
Generics business competition: Generics revenue is expected to decline in the fourth quarter due to competitive entrants into the market for the partnered generic product launched in the third quarter.
Gross margin pressure: Non-GAAP gross margin decreased due to product mix, including lower gross margins on the partnered generic product, which has a profit-sharing element.
ILUVIEN adoption hurdles: Adoption of ILUVIEN for NIU-PS is still in progress, with the company working to establish full adoption of the label transition and educate physicians on its use.
Market access for Retina products: There are challenges in navigating market access for Medicare patients for Retina products, with limited co-pay support and the need to explore alternative pathways like Medicare Part D through specialty pharmacy.
Revenue normalization: Revenues for Brands are expected to normalize, with modestly lower demand anticipated in the fourth quarter.

Key Q&A
Q:How has the Medicare Part D redesign impacted Cortrophin's growth and what is the outlook for next year?
A:The Medicare Part D redesign has modestly benefited Cortrophin by improving affordability and access for patients through capped co-pays and spreading payments. However, this was tempered by mandatory Medicare manufacturer payments. The company sees significant multi-year growth opportunities for Cortrophin, driven by underpenetrated patient populations and increasing prescriber adoption.
Q:What is the new partner generic product and its expected performance?
A:The company did not specify the name of the partner generic product for competitive reasons. It was launched with another manufacturer and was the sole generic for a period in Q3. Competition has entered in Q4, leading to a sequential drop in guidance. The product has lower gross margins due to profit sharing, and competition is expected to continue into 2026.
Q:Are there any inventory or gross-to-net issues affecting Cortrophin's growth?
A:Cortrophin's growth is driven by strong underlying demand, new patient starts, and expanded sales force efforts. Growth is seen across specialties like nephrology, neurology, and rheumatology. The prefilled syringe accounts for 70% of new cases initiated, contributing to the growth.
Q:What is the growth trajectory for Cortrophin in pulmonology and other untapped opportunities?
A:Pulmonology and sarcoidosis are smaller but growing areas for Cortrophin, with significant growth potential due to higher vial usage per patient. The company is focused on tapping opportunities in neurology, nephrology, rheumatology, gout, and ophthalmology, driven by high ROI commercial investments and prescriber adoption.
Q:What are the company's thoughts on business development and M&A?
A:The company is exploring opportunities to expand its Rare Disease business, focusing on late-stage or commercial assets that synergize with its sales force or infrastructure. They are not in a hurry to make deals and aim to ensure high-quality transactions.
Q:What drives doctors to use Cortrophin across various indications?
A:Cortrophin is a late-line treatment for patients for whom other therapies have been less effective. It is used for patients refractory to steroids or with high side effect profiles. Physicians use it for difficult-to-treat autoimmune disorders where other options are limited.
Q:Is the market for Cortrophin promotion-sensitive, and what is the impact of the prefilled syringe?
A:The market is promotion-sensitive, with expanded sales force efforts leading to high ROI. The prefilled syringe has driven adoption due to reduced administration steps, making it more convenient for prescribers and patients.
Q:What is the durability of Cortrophin Gel over time and the potential for generic competition?
A:The company believes Cortrophin Gel is tough to genericize due to its porcine-derived formulation and complex development pathway. Both the company and its competitor have strengthened IP with patents extending into the 2040s.
Q:What are the challenges of label expansion in the ACTH category?
A:Label expansion requires Phase III clinical trials under current FDA rules. The company is focused on generating evidence to inform treatment decisions and potentially include Cortrophin in treatment guidelines.
Q:What are the KPIs for the sales force and trends in sales per rep?
A:The company tracks KPIs internally but has seen high ROI from sales force expansion, particularly in neurology, nephrology, and rheumatology. They continue to evaluate opportunities for further expansion.
Q:Are there additional opportunities for partner generic programs?
A:Yes, the company is working on similar opportunities, leveraging its U.S. manufacturing footprint and end-to-end capabilities in BD, R&D, and commercialization.
Q:Is there a potential intangible asset impairment charge for the Alimera acquisition?
A:The company evaluates intangible assets quarterly and remains confident in the mid- to long-term opportunities for ILUVIEN, with no impairment charge anticipated at this time.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided directly addressing the specifics of the new partner generic product, citing competitive reasons. They also did not provide detailed KPIs for the sales force or elaborate on the cost-benefit analysis of label expansion in the ACTH category.
