Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, based in Boston, Massachusetts, is a healthcare company focused on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, known for its leading product LINZESS, a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and chronic idiopathic constipation.
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2024, highlighting a significant growth in LINZESS prescription demand, despite facing pricing challenges. The company remains committed to its financial guidance for the year and is progressing towards the submission of a new drug application for apraglutide by early 2025.
Key financial metrics revealed a decrease in total revenue to $91.6 million from $113.7 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower collaboration revenue. Net income attributable to Ironwood dropped to $3.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to $15.3 million, or $0.10 per share, in the previous year. The adjusted EBITDA saw a decline, reaching $26.2 million from $49.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Strategically, Ironwood continues to advance its product pipeline, with significant progress in its apraglutide program aimed at treating short bowel syndrome. The company has also terminated its collaboration with COUR Pharmaceutical on CNP-104 and is analyzing data from its IW-3300 study to determine future steps.
Looking ahead, Ironwood is focused on delivering on its financial targets and bringing apraglutide to market, which it anticipates will become a preferred treatment for short bowel syndrome if approved. The management remains optimistic about continued growth and innovation in the GI healthcare space.
