The earnings call highlighted robust prescription growth for LINZESS and significant progress with apraglutide, indicating a strong market position and potential for future growth. However, considerable pricing pressures on LINZESS and program adjustments in the pipeline present notable challenges.
Company Guidance
During the Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided several key metrics and guidance for the upcoming periods. LINZESS U.S. net sales were reported at $226 million for the third quarter, with a year-over-year prescription demand growth of 13%. Despite this growth, LINZESS faced pricing headwinds, largely due to an increase in Medicaid prescriptions. Ironwood maintained its full-year 2024 guidance, projecting LINZESS U.S. net sales between $900 million and $950 million, Ironwood revenue of $350 million to $375 million, and adjusted EBITDA greater than $75 million. The company generated $10 million in operating cash flow and $26 million in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. Looking ahead, Ironwood aims to manage LINZESS pricing pressures while advancing apraglutide towards an NDA submission in Q1 2025, targeting a commercial launch in 2026.
