Arcutis Biotherapeutics reports Q3 EPS ($1.89), consensus ($1.67)

Reports Q3 revenue $725,000, consensus $650,000. "This quarter represented a transformational period for Arcutis, with the FDA approval and launch of ZORYVE delivering on our promise to bring meaningful innovation to patients, physicians, and shareholders, and cementing our commitment to access and affordability. Furthermore, the acquisition of Ducentis extends our continued evolution into the preeminent immuno-dermatology company," said Frank Watanabe, Arcutis’ president and CEO. "Our launch of ZORYVE in plaque psoriasis continues to accelerate, and we believe it will be a foundational driver of growth for Arcutis that will be further buoyed by each additional topical roflumilast development program we advance towards potential commercialization. We are well funded, affording us the flexibility to properly invest in the ZORYVE launch, and also to progress our early pipeline assets like ARQ-255 into the clinic."
