Grounding quotes
  • “We closed 2025 with strong momentum, delivering full-year ORLADEYO revenue of $601.8 million. That was up 38% for the year and 43% when you exclude our Europe business that we sold in October.”
  • “We are very much within sight of getting to that $1 billion.”
  • “These are outstanding results. These strong results illustrate the durability, consistency, and quality of treatment responses with Navenibart and provide high confidence that the pivotal trial will be successful.”
  • “And then we'll see how it goes. But if it goes faster than we expect, it could be a tailwind.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Full-year 2025 ORLADEYO net revenue of $601.8 million, up 38% YoY (43% excluding the divested European business), and full-year GAAP and non-GAAP operating profit reached a record, marking BioCryst's first full year of profitability.
  • FDA-approved ORLADEYO oral pellets for HAE patients ages 2 to <12 in December 2025, making it the first and only targeted oral prophylactic therapy for children with HAE, with launch underway at the Quad AI conference.
  • Navenibart long-term Phase II data showed mean attack-rate reductions of 92% (Q3M) and 90% (Q6M) and median reductions of 97% in both arms, with no safety signals through 24 months, supporting a pivotal trial expected to complete enrollment of 145 patients around mid-2026.
  • Astria Therapeutics acquisition completed in January 2026, adding the Phase III navenibart program and expanding the HAE portfolio (on track for regulatory filing by end of 2027).
  • 2026 ORLADEYO revenue guidance reiterated at $625–$645 million, with a long-term peak sales target of $1 billion by 2029 based on net patient growth of ~150 patients per year.

Risks & pressure points

  • Charlie Gayer guided Q1 2026 ORLADEYO revenue to be slightly down vs. Q4 2025, citing the seasonal reauthorization process and higher free product/co-pay burden with no IRA-style tailwind this year.
  • Sale of the European ORLADEYO business in October 2025 eliminated a loss-making segment, reflecting prior European margin pressure and a non-core geographic retreat.
  • BCX17725 in Netherton syndrome is still early-stage with only healthy-volunteer data so far; patient clinical data are not expected until later in 2026, leaving the program unvalidated and future development path dependent on further evidence and feedback.
  • Pediatric (pellet) launch contribution to 2026 has been conservatively modeled, with management explicitly flagging uncertainty over how quickly diagnosis and prophylaxis adoption in kids will ramp.
