Esperion News
Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceThe new royalty agreement with OMERS Life Sciences removes a significant and onerous obligation from the balance sheet and should improve cash flows for the company.
Global ExpansionEsperion announced a licensing agreement with Neopharm Israel granting Neopharm exclusive rights to commercialize NEXLETOL and NEXLIZET in Israel.
Product ExpansionThe Nexletol and Nexlizet labels were expanded to include a cardiovascular risk reduction indication in statin intolerant patients, increasing the addressable population to about 70 million patients in the US.
Bears Say
Competitive PressureESPR has pulled back -15-20% due to competitor NAMS's promising Phase III results, which show a more favorable LDL and MACE reduction compared to ESPR's Nexletol.
Pipeline ConcernsA lack of a mid/late stage pipeline is an overhang as an end of decade loss of exclusivity looms.
Revenue ChallengesEsperion had a challenging 3Q with total revenues slightly missing expectations and sales of bempedoic acid falling short by 10%.
