We expect to have more information about the product readiness later this quarter, and we do not expect this delay to affect our revenue guidance for 2026. We look forward to bringing ORLADEYO to the kids who need it as soon as possible. The pediatric indication is exciting, but it does not distract our team from driving new patient demand for ORLADEYO capsules. We are pleased that new prescription demand for ages 12 and up remains consistent with our quarterly averages since launch, despite new competition. Physicians and patients continue to trust ORLADEYO as an effective and proven option for HAE prophylaxis.

Enrollment will be completed at the by the end of next month at approx and at approximately 145 enrolled patients alpha orbit will be the largest pivotal trial ever for HAE prophylaxis.

Charlie Gayer: Turning to our pipeline development, progress on the pivotal ALPHA-ORBIT trial for navenibart has exceeded our expectations. Enrollment will be completed by the end of next month and at approximately 145 enrolled patients. ALPHA-ORBIT will be the largest pivotal trial ever for HAE prophylaxis. The speed of enrollment is a testament to our team's execution, as well as the attractiveness of navenibart's profile. Our phase 1 study for BCX17725 in Netherton syndrome is also hitting its stride. Investigator enthusiasm has been strong, patients have started dosing, and we are on track to have proof of concept data by the end of the year in this high-need rare disease. I am thrilled that Dr. Sandeep Menon has joined us as Chief R&D Officer last month. We're making great progress in our pipeline, and adding Sandeep makes us stronger.

Sandeep Menon: Thank you, Charlie. I'm very excited to be joining BioCryst at this important inflection point in the company's evolution. The company is in a unique position of strength, especially from our strong performance of ORLADEYO. It's not just the commercial excellence that drew me to BioCryst, but the commitment to rigorous science to improve patient lives. I see a tremendous opportunity to build on the momentum that ORLADEYO has delivered as we guide the next wave of programs through the clinic. navenibart, our injectable plasma kallikrein inhibitor for HAE prophylaxis, will complete enrollment in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 ALPHA-ORBIT study by the end of June this year. This keeps us on track to submit a regulatory filing in the US by the end of next year. navenibart has generated compelling clinical evidence so far.

Sandeep Menon: In the long-term open-label ALPHA-SOLAR study, it recently demonstrated 92% and 90% mean attack reductions in the 3-month and the 6-month dosing regimens respectively. We now have a great opportunity to bring potentially best-in-class injectable to HAE patients that will complement our best-in-class oral ORLADEYO. Moving on to our next program, BCX17725, which is a KLK5 inhibitor, a potentially first-in-class therapy for Netherton syndrome, a very severe skin condition with no targeted or approved therapies for patients. I'm happy to share that we have started dosing patients in Part 4 of the ongoing phase 1 study. Part 4 will enroll up to 12 patients with 3 months of dosing, and we expect to report this data by end of this year.

Speaker #4: I look forward to updating you on our continued progress over the course of the year. I will now transition to my colleague Babar Ghias.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Sandeep. In my remarks today, I will be referring to non-GAAP figures, which are adjusted for revenues and expenses related to our European Orlideo business, stock-based comp, and expenses related to the acquisition of Astria.

Babar Ghias: Thanks, Sandeep. In my remarks today, I will be referring to non-GAAP figures which are adjusted for revenues and expenses related to our European ORLADEYO business, stock-based comp, and expenses related to the acquisition of Astria. This acquisition was classified as an asset acquisition for accounting purposes, and as a result, we recorded an in-process R&D charge of $698 million in Q1, as well as some other transaction-specific charges. I encourage you to review our press release for additional details on these adjustments. We believe that non-GAAP figures provide a clearer view of the strength of our business on a forward-looking basis, and we encourage you to focus on these metrics in your analysis.

Speaker #3: This acquisition was classified as an asset acquisition for accounting purposes and as a result we recorded an in-process R&D charge of $698 million in Q1 as well as some other transaction-specific charges.

Speaker #3: I encourage you to review our press release for additional details on these adjustments. We believe that non-gap figures provide a clearer view of the strength of our business on a forward-looking basis and we encourage you to focus on these metrics in your analysis.

Speaker #3: With that said, we are off to a strong start in 2026 with first-quarter results reflecting continued momentum in Orlideo further demonstrating the product's durability in an HAE market where there are increasing options for patients.

Babar Ghias: With that said, we are off to a strong start in 2026, with Q1 results reflecting continued momentum in ORLADEYO, further demonstrating the product's durability in an HAE market where there are increasing options for patients. During the quarter, not only did we deliver strong top-line growth, we also posted a strong non-GAAP operating profit. We are pleased with the consistency of our profitability trend that is adding to our strong balance sheet position. Additionally, we have been very pleased with the overall integration of Astria Therapeutics into BioCryst family. This process has been running ahead of our expectations. This demonstrates that our team can, in the future, not only do transformational BD, but also integrate seamlessly. To shed more light on our financial figures, our non-GAAP Q1 2026 total revenue increased approximately 17% year on year.

Speaker #3: Additionally, we have been very pleased with the overall integration of Astria Therapeutics into BIOCRYST family. This process has been running ahead of our expectations.

Speaker #3: This demonstrates that our team can in the future not only do transformational BD but also integrate seamlessly. To shed more light on our financial figures, our non-gap Q1 2026 total revenue increased approximately 17 percent year on year.

Speaker #3: Since other revenues include contribution from Rapivab and licensing revenues, I would draw your attention to the Orlideo revenues of $148 million which increased 21 percent year on year excluding the European divestiture impact.

Babar Ghias: Since other revenues include contribution from RAPIVAB and licensing revenues, I would draw your attention to the ORLADEYO revenues of $148 million, which increased 21% year on year, excluding the European divestiture impact. New prescription demand is strong, and we continue to see growth in prescribers even in the 6th year of launch. The commercial team continues to reinforce and expand the value proposition of ORLADEYO. In Q1, our non-GAAP operating profit came in at $54 million, an increase of 25% year on year, further demonstrating our ability to convert strong top-line growth to bottom-line growth. R&D costs increased in Q1 2026 versus the prior year, as you would expect, since we are now consolidating the costs related to navenibart.

Speaker #3: New prescription demand is strong and we continue to see growth in prescribers even in the sixth year of launch. We remain very excited about the future growth prospects for Orlideo as more prescribers get experience with the pediatric formulation and the commercial team continues to reinforce and expand the value proposition of Orlideo.

Speaker #3: In Q1, our non-gap operating profit came in at $54 million. An increase of 25 percent year on year further demonstrating our ability to convert strong top-line growth to bottom-line growth.

Speaker #3: R&D costs increased in Q1 2026 versus the prior year as you would expect since we are now consolidating the costs related to Nevenabart. To refresh from the last call, we anticipate that 2026 R&D costs will increase over 2025 as we complete the ongoing phase three trial and BLA enabling CMC activities for Nevenabart.

Babar Ghias: To refresh from the last call, we anticipate that 2026 R&D costs will increase over 2025 as we complete the ongoing phase 3 trial and BLA-enabling CMC activities for navenibart. With the addition of Sandeep to our team, we will continue to refine a focused and disciplined R&D strategy to enhance our portfolio. To that end, we will continue to evaluate internal programs that do not make viable business sense. As part of that evaluation during Q1, we decided to discontinue the development of avoralstat in DME. Our sales and marketing expenses for the quarter were $37 million on a non-GAAP basis, down slightly from Q1 2025. We are very pleased that our sales and marketing structure is at steady state. While there may be some smaller increases in variable expenses, the current team is well sized to support continued ORLADEYO growth.

Speaker #3: Our sales and marketing expenses for the quarter were $37 million on a non-gap basis down slightly from Q1 2025. We are very pleased that our sales and marketing structure is at steady state.

Speaker #3: And while there may be some smaller increases in variable expenses, the current team is well-sized to support continued Orlideo growth. We anticipate sales and marketing expenses supporting our HAE franchise Orlideo and Nevenabart upon potential approval as a whole will be very stable and poised to deliver substantial returns.

Babar Ghias: We anticipate sales and marketing expenses supporting our HAE franchise, ORLADEYO, and navenibart upon potential approval as a whole will be very stable and poised to deliver substantial returns. Our G&A expense increased slightly by $1.8 million over Q1 2025 on a non-GAAP basis. This increase was primarily driven due to incremental overhead with the closing of Astria. We will continue to monitor our G&A over the course of 2026 and explore further areas of efficiencies. Driven by our strong operational results, we ended the Q1 with substantial liquidity of approximately $261 million in cash and investments, despite funding part of the Astria purchase price from our balance sheet. During the quarter, we also closed on a senior credit facility of $400 million to fund the remaining cash portion of Astria acquisition, along with approximately $37 million BioCryst shares issued to Astria shareholders.

Speaker #3: Our GNA expense increased slightly by $1.8 million over Q1 2025 on a non-gap basis. This increase was primarily driven due to incremental overhead with the closing of Astria.

Speaker #3: We will continue to monitor our GNA over the course of 2026 and explore further areas of efficiencies. Driven by our strong operational results, we ended the first quarter with substantial liquidity of approximately $261 million in cash and investments despite funding part of the Astria purchase price from a balance sheet.

Speaker #3: During the quarter, we also closed on a senior credit facility of $400 million to fund the remaining cash portion of the Astria acquisition, along with approximately $37 million in BioCryst shares issued to Astria shareholders.

Speaker #3: Our cost of capital decreased compared to last year due to our strong financial position and you will notice the benefit year on year in our interest expense.

Babar Ghias: Our cost of capital decreased compared to last year due to our strong financial position, and you will notice the benefit year-on-year in our interest expense. Earlier this week, we finalized a license agreement with Neopharmed Gentili to commercialize navenibart in Europe. We are very pleased to be collaborating with NG on this transaction, a team that carries a unified vision to benefit people living with HAE and a commercial team that we carefully developed over many years before transitioning it to NG as part of our European divestiture last year. As part of this deal, we will receive $70 million in cash up front and up to $275 million in future regulatory and sales milestones, along with tiered royalties on net sales ranging from 18% to 30% overall.

Speaker #3: As part of this deal, we will receive $70 million in cash upfront and up to $275 million in future regulatory and sales milestones along with tiered royalties on net sales ranging from 18 to 30 percent overall.

Speaker #3: This will meaningfully strengthen our balance sheet in the near to medium term, and naturally, the downstream economics will be very attractive to our overall financial profile.

Babar Ghias: This will meaningfully strengthen our balance sheet in the near to medium term, naturally, the downstream economics will be very attractive to our overall financial profile. On a pro forma basis, including the net proceeds from the license agreement, our liquidity position stands at total of $331 million as of 31 March 2026. This attractive position allows us to evaluate a wide range of capital allocation strategies to maximize value to our shareholders. Moving on quickly to guidance, as Charlie mentioned, we are maintaining expectations for full year 2026 ORLADEYO revenues to be between $625 million to 645 million. We expect full year 2026 non-GAAP OpEx to be between $450 million to 470 million. We continue to execute well, as the year progresses, we will guide the street of any changes.

Speaker #5: And then what are the latest trend what are your latest trends on paid rate in each pair segment? Thank you.

Speaker #6: Sure. For Dukirk demand, as we've said before, when we do a lot of work to try to predict the future, we have forecasting models that have proven to be really accurate launch to date, really predicted the growth of Orlideo.

Babar Ghias: Sure. For deucrictibant, as we've said before, when we do a lot of work to try to predict the future. We have forecasting models that have proven to be really accurate, launch to date, predicted the growth of ORLADEYO. We always give our future competitors their best profile. What we assume is deucrictibant will have very good efficacy when they report out in Q3, and that's built into our future forecast, and we still believe that ORLADEYO is on a path and will reach $1 billion in peak sales. As far as the trends in the paid rate, this year, we're still in the blizzard season, where we go through all the reauthorization.

Charlie Gayer: Sure. For deucrictibant, as we've said before, when we do a lot of work to try to predict the future.

Speaker #6: And as far as the trends in the paid rate, we're still this year, we're still in the blizzard season. Where we go through all the reauthorization.

Speaker #6: Every year it moves a little bit into the future as patients go through this process. So we're still in that process. We'll comment more at the end of Q2.

Babar Ghias: Every year, it moves a little bit into the future as patients go through this process. We're still in that process. We'll comment more at the end of Q2. We're having really good success converting patients from long-term free product to paid product. We're progressing as we expected.

[Analyst] (Bank of America): Hi, guys. This is Jeremiah on for Tazeen. Thanks for taking our question. Maybe a couple questions from us. Just first on the navenibart out-licensing deal. Can you maybe just help us understand how much of that, you know, USD 225 million milestone accruals is tied to regulatory versus commercial thresholds? Just where you expect that royalty rate to settle at scale. Maybe a question on pipeline, especially considering, you know, the prioritization of avoralstat. Just wondering, we haven't heard many updates about the complement pipeline in some time. Just wondering what are the next key decision points for bringing those programs forward. Thanks.

Charlie Gayer: Babar, you wanna take the navenibart royalty question? I'll cover the pipeline.

Speaker #6: Bobby, you want to take the Nevenabart the royalty question? I'll cover the pipeline.

Charlie Gayer: Babar, you wanna take the navenibart royalty question? I'll cover the pipeline.

Speaker #8: Yeah. So I think at this point in time, we're not necessarily breaking down the milestones and think we're very excited that upfront is a very sizable upset for an asset at this stage.

Babar Ghias: Yeah. I think, at this point in time, we're not necessarily breaking down the milestones and think, you know, we're very excited that upfront is a very sizable upfront for an asset at this stage. Naturally in sort of in line with some of the past licensing deals at this stage. You know, as you can see that we feel very, very confident of that healthy royalty rate because as I mentioned, it's a team that we actually developed and curated over many years. We're very confident that that team will do a great job, and we'll realize the maximum benefit of that royalty rates.

Speaker #8: And naturally, in sort of in line with some of the process licensing deals at this stage, as you can see that we feel very, very confident of that healthy royalty rate because, as I mentioned, it's a team that we actually developed and curated over many years.

Speaker #8: So we're very confident that that team will do a great job. And we'll realize the maximum benefit of that royalty rates. But you can imagine that a typical deal on the back end in terms of things, but something that we feel really confident to realize over the course of time.

Babar Ghias: You can imagine that, a typical deal on the back end in terms of things, but something that we feel really confident to realize over the course of time.

Speaker #6: And then as far as the pipeline, number one, what we're focused on right now is the two programs that we have in clinical development.

Charlie Gayer: As far as the pipeline, you know, number one, what we're focused on right now is the two programs that we have in clinical development, so navenibart in late stage. We're very excited about the potential for 17725, given the need in the Netherton population. With Sandeep on board, we will be making future updates on our pipeline and our rare disease strategy, and we look forward to doing that as soon as we can.

Speaker #6: So Nevenabart in late stage and then we're very excited about the potential for 17725 given the need in the Netherton's population. With Sendeep on board, we will be making future updates on our pipeline and our rare disease strategy.

Speaker #6: And we look forward to doing that as soon as we can.

Speaker #7: Okay. Thanks.

[Analyst] (Bank of America): Great. Thanks.

Jeremiah Lorentz: Great. Thanks.

Speaker #4: Your next question today will come from Laura Chico with Wedbush Securities. Please go ahead.

Operator 2: Your next question today will come from Laura Chico with Wedbush Securities. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question today will come from Laura Chico with Wedbush Securities. Please go ahead.

Speaker #9: Good morning. Thanks very much for taking the question. I guess back to Orlideo for one. Charlie, I'm not sure if you can share any feedback here about the impact of some competing launches right now.

Laura Chico: Good morning. Thanks very much for taking the question. I guess back to ORLADEYO for one. Charlie, I'm not sure if you can share any feedback here about the impact of some competing launches right now. I guess I'm thinking about donidalorsen, but what are the impacts you're seeing on ORLADEYO retention? Has this changed your call strategy with physicians at all? Just a follow-up with respect to the manufacturing issue. I think I missed it, but any impacts, or could you just expand a little bit more with implications on the pediatric launch? Thanks very much.

Speaker #9: I guess I'm thinking about John Zara. But what are the impacts you're seeing on Orlideo retention? Has this changed your call strategy with physicians at all?

Speaker #9: And then just a follow-up with respect to the manufacturing issue. I think I missed it, but any impacts or could you just expand a little bit more with implications on the pediatric launch?

Speaker #9: Thanks very much.

Speaker #6: Sure. Yeah. Laura, as far as the competing launches, what we're seeing is what we expected in this kind of goes back again to the forecasting we do.

Charlie Gayer: Sure. Yeah, Laura, as far as the competing launches, what we're seeing is what we expected, and this kind of goes back again to the forecasting we do. The recent launches, as you know, have been injectables. What we see is they're competing mainly with the existing market leader, Takhzyro, so it's not affecting ORLADEYO. As Babar and I both mentioned, you know, our demand is as strong as it's ever been. We're really pleased, not surprised, but really, really pleased to see that. That's why we have that continued confidence about the future growth of ORLADEYO and heading to $1 billion in peak sales. Our, you know, our retention rates, you asked about that, are also in line with, you know, past expectations.

Speaker #6: The recent launches as you know have been injectables. And so what we see is the they're competing mainly with existing market leader Taxyro. And so it's not affecting Orlideo.

Speaker #6: And as Bobber and I both mentioned, our demand is as strong as it's ever been. And we're really pleased not surprised, but really pleased to see that.

Speaker #6: And so that's why we have that continued confidence about the future growth of Orlideo and heading to the billion dollars in peak sales. And our retention rates, you asked about that, are also in line with past expectations.

Speaker #6: Patients who start on Orlideo, 60% of them get to a year. And then very slow or very sticky after that, very strong retention after a year.

Charlie Gayer: Patients who start on ORLADEYO, 60% of them get to a year and then very slow, or very sticky after that. Very strong retention after a year. On the peds manufacturing, as we said, we're not changing our guidance. We'll have more information on the issue and timing hopefully later this Q. We're not changing our guidance because the early demand has been very strong. You may recall from past calls, in our forecast for this year, we were relatively conservative about the peds opportunity because we didn't know how quickly it would kick in. We're very bullish on the long term, and we're on track for this year.

Speaker #6: On the peds manufacturing, as we said, we're not changing our guidance. We'll have more information on the issue and timing hopefully later this quarter.

Speaker #6: But we're not changing our guidance because the early demand has been very strong. And you may recall from past calls, in our forecast for this year, we were relatively conservative about the peds opportunity because we didn't know how quickly it would kick in.

Speaker #6: So we're very bullish on the long term. And we're on track for this year.

Speaker #9: Thanks very much.

Laura Chico: Thanks very much.

Speaker #4: The next question will come from Brian Abrams of RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator 2: The next question will come from Brian Abrahams of RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question will come from Brian Abrahams of RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Hi. Thanks so much for taking our questions. Two from me. I guess first on the Nevenabart phase three of sounds like enrollment's gone really well there.

Brian Abrahams: Hi. Thanks so much for taking our questions. Two from me. I guess first on the navenibart phase 3, it sounds like enrollment's gone really well there. I'm wondering if you could talk about any learnings there, just in terms from the enrollment conduct, just in terms of the appetite for long-acting injectables, the types of patients who could go on this therapy commercially, and the potential size of that opportunity. Just secondarily following up on the manufacturing issue, can you just give us a sense of what would need to be done to resolve this? Might this require any sort of FDA re-inspection? Is there any overlap at all with this facility with regards to ORLADEYO for adults or navenibart?

Speaker #7: So I'm wondering if you could talk about any learnings there just in terms from the enrollment conduct, just in terms of the appetite for long-acting injectables?

Speaker #7: The types of patients who could go on this therapy commercially and the potential size of that opportunity. And then just secondarily following up on the manufacturing issue, can you just give us a sense of what would need to be done to resolve this?

Speaker #7: Might this require any sort of FDA reinspection? Is there any overlap at all with this facility with regards to Orlideo for adults or Nevenabart?

Speaker #7: And could there be upside to your guidance if this resolves more quickly than expected, just given that you're seeing good launch demand already? And I know pediatric revenue was not really included all that much in your guidance.

Brian Abrahams: Could there be upside to your guidance if this resolves more quickly than expected, just given that you're seeing good launch demand already? I know pediatric revenue was not really included all that much in your guidance. Thanks.

Speaker #7: Thanks.

Speaker #6: Sure. Thanks, Brian. Yeah. First of all, Nevenabart, we're really excited about the pace of the enrollment. And as I said in my remarks, I think it is a reflection of the appetite that both patients and physicians have for an every three- or six-months dosing.

Charlie Gayer: Sure thing. Thanks, Brian. First of all, we're, you know, navenibart, we're really excited about the pace of the enrollment. As I said in my remarks, I think it is a reflection of the appetite that both patients and physicians have for an every 3 or 6 months dosing. You know, this is why we wanted to acquire this product in the first place, because we saw that, we heard that from customers. Getting to 3 and 6-month dosing is really meaningful and transformative. We think there's a potential to switch a lot of patients to this. As we've described before, there's 2 segments in this market. There are those patients who want oral therapy and do well on it, and then there's those who are on injectable therapy and are very comfortable with that.

Speaker #6: This is why we wanted to acquire this product in the first place because we saw that. We heard that from customers. Getting to three and six-month dosing is really meaningful and transformative.

Speaker #6: And so we think there's a potential to switch a lot of patients to this. As we've described before, there's two segments in this market.

Speaker #6: Those patients who want oral therapy and do well on it. And then there's those who are on injectable therapy. And are very comfortable with that.

Speaker #6: And the profile of Nevenabart is something that's really understandable to both physicians and patients. And I think that's again reflected in the trial enrollment.

Charlie Gayer: The profile of navenibart is something that's really understandable to both physicians and patients. I think that's, you know, again, reflected in the trial enrollment. We're excited about that future launch. As far as the manufacturing issue with ORLADEYO pellets, first of all, this, it's a different plant, it's a different manufacturer than capsules, so it has nothing to do with capsules. It's not an FDA issue at all. It's not a safety issue. It's just a, it's a batch problem, just in the specifications. We're digging in to get to the root cause so that we can, you know, manufacture consistent batches going forward. We'll have an update on that timing when we have it. This, we do not expect this to be a long-term problem.

Speaker #6: So we're excited about that future launch. As far as the manufacturing issue with Orlideo pellets, first of all, it's a different plant. It's a different manufacturer than capsules.

Speaker #6: So it has nothing to do with capsules. It's not an FDA issue at all. It's not a safety issue. It's just a batch problem just in the specifications.

Speaker #6: We're digging in to get to the root cause. So that we can manufacture consistent batches going forward. So we'll have an update on that timing when we have it.

Speaker #6: But we do not expect this to be a long-term problem. And as far as the demand for the pediatric indication so far, it has been very strong.

Charlie Gayer: As far as, you know, the demand for the pediatric indication, so far it has been very strong. If we get this issue, we get the product out there in the relatively near future, we're right on track for this year and certainly very much on track for our long-term predictions.

Speaker #6: And so if we get this issue, we get the product out there. In the relatively near future, we're right on track for this year.

Speaker #6: And certainly very much on track for our long-term predictions.

Speaker #7: Thanks, Charlie.

Steve Seedhouse: Thanks, Charlie Gayer.

Brian Abrahams: Thanks, Charlie Gayer.

Speaker #4: The next question today will come from Steve Seedhouse of Cantor. Please go ahead.

Operator 2: The next question today will come from Steve Seedhouse of Cantor. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question today will come from Steve Seedhouse of Cantor. Please go ahead.

Steve Seedhouse: Hey, great. Good morning. Thanks so much for taking the question. Wanted to see if you'd be willing to frame your expectations for the phase 3 navenibart data. You know, obviously most phase 2s, including this one, in HAE, smaller than a phase 3 would be, but the attack rate reduction was pretty profound in that phase 2. Are you expecting like a greater than 90% attack rate reduction? Are you expecting that in both the every 3 month and the every 6 months arms? Is that what's framing, you know, pretty aggressive guidance? The $1.8 billion in 2033 sort of implies an even better launch than ORLADEYO. I was hoping you could just frame what you're expecting from the data. Thanks.

Speaker #8: Great. Good morning. Thanks so much for taking the question. Wanted to see if you'd be willing to frame your expectations for the phase three Nevenabart data?

Speaker #8: Obviously, most phase twos, including this one in HA, smaller than a phase three would be. But the attack rate reduction was pretty profound in that phase two.

Speaker #8: So are you expecting a greater than 90% attack rate reduction? Are you expecting that in both the every three-month and the every six-month arms?

Speaker #8: And is that what's framing pretty aggressive guidance? The 1.8 billion in 2033 sort of implies an even better launch than Orlideo. So I was hoping you could just frame what you're expecting from the data.

Speaker #8: Thanks.

Speaker #6: We are expecting really good results. Whether it's 90%, a little over 90%, a little less, I don't think that really matters so much. What matters is the attack rate that patients get down to.

Charlie Gayer: We are expecting really good results, whether it's 90%, a little over 90%, a little less. I don't think that really matters so much. What matters is the attack rate that patients get down to. And in the open label study, as you've seen, patients in both doses are getting down to a mean attack rate of just 0.16 per month. That's less than 2 attacks per year. Those attacks tend to be more mild than other attacks. That is functionally attack free for patients. To be able to get that from 3 or 6-month dosing, we do expect there to be comparable efficacy between the two. Because remember, the 6-month dosing is twice the dose of 3 months.

Speaker #6: And in the open label study, as you've seen, patients in both doses are getting down to a mean attack rate of just 0.16 per month.

Speaker #6: So that's less than two attacks per year. And those attacks tend to be more mild than other attacks. So that is functionally attack-free for patients.

Speaker #6: And to be able to get that from three or six-month dosing, we do expect there to be comparable efficacy between the two. Because remember, the six-month dosing is twice the dose of three months.

Speaker #6: And so, that phase two Alpha Solar data is very important. It really gives us confidence for the future.

Charlie Gayer: That Phase 2 ALPHA-SOLAR data is very important, really gives us confidence for the future.

Speaker #4: The next question will come from Stacey Koo of TD Calvin. Please go ahead.

Operator 2: The next question will come from Stacy Ku of TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question will come from Stacy Ku of TD Cowen. Please go ahead.

Speaker #9: Hey there. Thanks so much for taking your questions and welcome to Sandeep. So first, just as we think about Orlideo, notice that you had talked about the continued growth in prescribers.

Stacy Ku: Hey there. Thanks so much for taking our questions and welcome to Sandeep. First, just as we think about ORLADEYO, noticed that you had talked about the continued growth in prescribers. Just curious if you could further elaborate there. That's the first question. A quick follow-up on the pediatric product fulfillment. Sounds like you need a quarter or two to kind of get more information, or is it to resolve the fulfillment issue? Just help us understand if the base case assumption for the potential delay is potentially within the year. That's two.

Speaker #9: So just curious if you could further elaborate there. That's the first question. And then a quick follow-up on the pediatric product fulfillment. It sounds like you need a quarter or two to kind of get more information.

Speaker #9: Or is it to resolve the fulfillment issue? So just help us understand if the base case assumption for the potential delay is potentially within the year.

Speaker #9: So that's two. And then three, as you started to dose Netherton patients, just maybe talk a little bit more about what you're learning about the patient population.

Steve Seedhouse: Three, as you started to dose Netherton patients, just, maybe talk a little bit more about what you're learning about the patient population, diagnosis awareness, potential size of the market, and remind us your go and no-go decision on efficacy. Thanks so much.

Stacy Ku: Three, as you started to dose Netherton patients, just, maybe talk a little bit more about what you're learning about the patient population, diagnosis awareness, potential size of the market, and remind us your go and no-go decision on efficacy. Thanks so much.

Speaker #9: Diagnosis awareness, potential size of the market. And remind us your go and no-go decision on efficacy. Thanks so much.

Speaker #6: Great. Thanks, Stacey. Let's see if I can get all these in the growth of prescribers. You've heard us talking before and in 2025 around 60 new prescribers per month, give or take.

Charlie Gayer: Great. Thanks, Stacy. I'll see if I can get all these. In the growth of prescribers, you've heard us talking before in 2025, around 60 new prescribers per month, give or take. We're in that same range in Q1. You know, as Babar said, in year six, to still be adding prescribers, to still be getting the prescriptions at the same rate is really a reflection of this product profile and how our teams launched it. As far as the peds pellet timing, you know, as I said, we'll know more this quarter. Our expectation is we'll get this resolved pretty quickly. You know, we don't know the root cause. We haven't identified all the root cause yet. It'll just take a little bit of time.

Speaker #6: We're in that same range in Q1. So as Babar said, in year six to still be adding prescribers to still be getting the prescriptions at the same rate, is really a reflection of this product profile and how our teams launched it.

Speaker #6: As far as the peds pellet timing, as I said, we'll know more this quarter. Our expectation is we'll get this resolved pretty quickly, but we don't know the root cause.

Speaker #6: We haven't identified all the root cause yet. So it'll take a little bit of time. But based on what we see right now, we're on track for the year.

Charlie Gayer: Based on what we see right now, we're on track for the year. As far as Netherton patients, we've done some work in the epi of this disease because that's really key. We know it's a very serious disease. We've met patients. We know how much they suffer from this. The real key is, you know, what's the size of the market? What is the overall opportunity? We've identified with a high level of confidence that the US market is 3,000 plus patients at this point. Those patients need to be correctly diagnosed. They need to be identified. Having a drug in the market is always a catalyst in rare disease for patient identification.

Speaker #6: And then as far as Netherton patients, we've done some work in the EPI of this disease because that's really key. We know it's a very serious disease.

Speaker #6: We've met patients. We know how much they suffer from this. But the real key is: what's the size of the market? What is the overall opportunity?

Speaker #6: And we've identified a high level of confidence that the US market is 3,000-plus patients at this point. Those patients need to be correctly diagnosed.

Speaker #6: They need to be identified. But having a drug in the market is always a catalyst in rare disease for patient identification. So the keys for efficacy—no drug in this space has to be perfect.

Charlie Gayer: The, you know, the keys for efficacy, no drug in this space has to be perfect. What we'll wanna see is that, you know, the patients are getting better in their overall scales of measuring Netherton syndrome, so ichthyosis scales measured by the physicians and the patients. We'll be looking at itch. We'll be looking at, you know, does the drug continue to get to the epidermis the way that we've seen in healthy volunteers? A range of things that'll help us design a pivotal program that we hope can start next year. Thank you so much.

Speaker #6: What we'll want to see is that the patients are getting better in their overall—the overall scales of measuring Netherton syndrome. So ixiosis scales, measured by the physicians and the patients, will be looking at itch.

Speaker #6: We'll be looking at does the drug continue to get to the epidermis the way that we've seen in healthy volunteers? So a range of things.

Speaker #6: That'll help us design a pivotal program that we hope can start next year.

Speaker #9: Thank you so much.

Speaker #4: As a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star. And then one. Our next question today will come from Mari Raycroft of Jefferies.

Operator 2: As a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star and then one. Our next question today will come from Maury Raycroft of Jefferies. Please go ahead.

Operator: As a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star and then one. Our next question today will come from Maury Raycroft of Jefferies. Please go ahead.

Speaker #4: Please go ahead.

Speaker #8: Hi. Good morning. Congrats on the progress. And thanks for taking my questions. Maybe just a quick follow-up on Netherton. Can you just talk more about how much data we should expect by year-end in that data update?

Maury Raycroft: Hi, good morning. Congrats on the progress, and thanks for taking my questions. Maybe just a quick follow-up on Netherton. Can you just talk more about how much data we should expect by year-end in that data update?

Speaker #6: Yeah. We'll have up to 12 patients. That's what we're shooting for. And we want to release the data that we have all together because it's a rare disease.

Charlie Gayer: Yeah, I think, Mari, you know, we'll have up to 12 patients. That's what we're shooting for, and what we wanna release the data that we have all together because, you know, it's a rare disease. That's not a huge number of patients, but we think it'll give us the data we need to say, Do we have a drug here? The package will come from that plus the 1 to 3 patients that we will have from the part 3 of the study as well as the healthy volunteer data. We'll, you know, as the data comes in, we'll figure out what the package is at the end of the year, but it'll be based on those roughly 12 patients.

Speaker #6: That's not a huge number of patients, but we think it'll give us the data we need to say, 'Do we have a drug here?' And so the package will come from that, plus the 1 to 3 patients that we'll have from the part three of the study, as well as the healthy volunteer data.

Speaker #6: So as the data comes in, we'll figure out what the package is at the end of the year. But it'll be based on those roughly 12 patients.

Speaker #8: Got it. Okay. And just for digging into profi competition a bit more, are you hearing about more patients considering switching or switching from Orlideo?

Maury Raycroft: Got it. Okay. Just for digging into Prophy competition a bit more, are you hearing about more patients considering switching or switching from ORLADEYO? Even if you're not seeing an impact yet, are you getting more pressure or headwinds in capturing new patients or switches from Takhzyro? I guess it seems like ORLADEYO is resilient with these new launches. Are you doing anything differently?

Speaker #8: And even if you're not seeing an impact yet, are you getting more pressure or headwinds in capturing new patients or switches from Texiro? I guess it seems like Orlideo is resilient with these new launches.

Speaker #8: Are you doing anything differently?

Speaker #6: Yeah. We're really not doing anything differently. We're not—we don't need to add to our sales force. We don't need to change our customers. We're already calling on the list of HAE prescribers.

Charlie Gayer: Yeah. We're really not doing anything differently. You know, we don't need to add to our sales force. We don't need to change our customers. We're already calling on the list of HAE prescribers and expanding that list as we've talked about. We see the most of the switching, most of the market impact hitting Takhzyro, not ORLADEYO. Of course, patients switch from ORLADEYO all the time. 60% of them get to a year, 40% don't, and they switch to other products. What we're seeing more is those patients when they do switch, they're more likely to switch to one of the new products, which makes a lot of sense. The impact overall on ORLADEYO is been very minor.

Speaker #6: And expanding that list as we've talked about. We see the—most of the switching, most of the market impact hitting Texiro, not Orlideo. Of course, patients switch from Orlideo all the time.

Speaker #6: 60% of them get to a year. 40% don't. And they switch to other products. And what we're seeing more is those patients, when they do switch, they're more likely to switch to one of the new products, which makes a lot of sense.

Speaker #6: But the impact overall on Orlideo is been very minor.

Speaker #8: Got it. Okay. Thanks for taking my questions.

Maury Raycroft: Got it. Okay. Thanks for taking my questions.

Speaker #4: The next question will come from John Wolubin of Citizens. Please go ahead.

Operator 2: The next question will come from John Wolleben of Citizens. Please go ahead.

Operator: The next question will come from John Wolleben of Citizens. Please go ahead.

Speaker #9: Hi. Hi. This is Catherine on for John. Thank you for the color on the Orlideo launch. I'm just wondering if you could provide a little bit more commentary on kind of XUS sales beyond Europe if you guys—which you guys are seeing there and kind of plans for any expansion.

[Analyst] (Citizens JMP Securities): Hi. Hi. This is Catherine on for John. Thank you for the color on the ORLADEYO launch. I'm just wondering if you could provide a little bit more commentary on kind of ex-US sales beyond Europe, what you guys are seeing there and kind of plans for any expansion and then your thoughts about same for navenibart. Thank you.

Catherine Okoukoni: Hi. Hi. This is Catherine on for John. Thank you for the color on the ORLADEYO launch. I'm just wondering if you could provide a little bit more commentary on kind of ex-US sales beyond Europe, what you guys are seeing there and kind of plans for any expansion and then your thoughts about same for navenibart. Thank you.

Speaker #9: And then your thoughts about the same for Nevana Bart. Thank you.

Speaker #6: Sure. Thanks, Catherine. With our sale of the European business, Europe had been the large majority of our XUS sales. So XUS is still an important contributor towards our peak.

Charlie Gayer: Sure. Thanks, Catherine. With our sale of the European business, Europe had been the large majority of our ex-US sales. Ex-US is still an important contributor towards our peak, but we are, you know, the vast majority, well over 90% of our revenue now comes from the US, and we expect it to be that way even as the brand grows towards $1 billion. We are though committed. You know, we wanna get our drugs to patients around the world because HAE is a global disease, and there are patients who need it. But from a revenue perspective, the great majority will be the US. And I'm sorry, you had a question on navenibart?

Speaker #6: But we are—the vast majority, well over 90% of our revenue now comes from the US. And we expect it to be that way even as the brand grows towards a billion dollars.

Speaker #6: We are, though, committed. We want to get our drugs to patients around the world because HAE is a global disease. And they're patients who need it.

Speaker #6: But from a revenue perspective, the great majority will be the US. And I'm sorry, the question on—you had a question on Nevana Bart?

[Analyst] (Citizens JMP Securities): On Navenibart. Do you think for Navenibart you're gonna kinda see the same trends if?

Catherine Okoukoni: On Navenibart. Do you think for Navenibart you're gonna kinda see the same trends if?

Speaker #8: Do you think for Nevana Bart, you're going to kind of see the same trends if kind of European markets can be the majority of XUS?

Charlie Gayer: Yeah

[Analyst] (Citizens JMP Securities): European markets in the majority of ex-US?

Catherine Okoukoni: European markets in the majority of ex-US?

Charlie Gayer: We would expect it to be largely the same as Babar Ghias was describing. You know, our partners at Neopharmed Gentili are equally excited about this drug and having both ORLADEYO and navenibart in the portfolio. There's an important place for both of these products in all the different markets, and so we're excited about that opportunity.

Speaker #6: We would expect it to be largely the same as Barbara was describing. Our partners at Neopharm and Gentilly are equally excited about this drug and having both Orlideo and Nevana Bart in the portfolio.

Speaker #6: There's an important place for both of these products. In all the different markets and so we're excited about that opportunity.

Speaker #9: Thank you much.

[Analyst] (Citizens JMP Securities): Thank you so much.

Catherine Okoukoni: Thank you so much.

Operator: The next question will come from Gavin Clark-Gartner of Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.

Speaker #10: Hi. This is Yasha on for Gavin. We were just wondering if on the pediatric pellet side, are you able to proactively work through paroxys and reimbursement while resolving the manufacturing?

Yesha Patel: Hi, this is Yesha on for Gavin. We were just wondering if on the pediatric pellet side, are you able to proactively work through payer access and reimbursement while resolving the manufacturing? Kind of also wondering how quickly you could convert the demand to paid drug when that's resolved. Thank you.
