Horizon Therapeutics reports Q2 EPS $1.20, consensus $1.11

Reports Q2 revenue $944.96M, consensus $896.36M. “We delivered strong growth in the second quarter, with double-digit year-over-year growth in our core business and mid-teens growth sequentially,” said Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “This performance was driven by exceptional 46% year-over-year KRYSTEXXA sales growth as a result of strong commercial execution and the success of our immunomodulation strategy, in addition to positive and consistent trends we are generating for TEPEZZA, which reflects the success of our expansion efforts to further penetrate the TED market and reach new prescribers. We delivered impressive 76% year-over-year UPLIZNA sales growth and see a long runway ahead as we progress our two Phase 3 programs in IgG4-RD and MG. We also announced several important clinical milestones for TEPEZZA, including strong data in low CAS and long-duration TED and data from our Phase 3 clinical trial in Japan, both of which we expect to contribute to the future growth of this medicine.”
