Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • European Commission approved the 2mg/kg every-4-weeks Elfabrio dosing regimen in March 2026, triggering a $25 million milestone from Chiesi and a projected ~$50 million cash balance by early April 2026.
  • 2026 total revenue guidance of $78–$83 million, with Chiesi revenue expected at $33–$35 million (more than 50% growth).
  • Chiesi revenue mix is high-margin and expected to grow as a share of total revenue, supporting improved profitability over time.
  • PRX-115 Phase II RELEASE study is actively enrolling with first patients randomized; top-line results anticipated in H2 2027, targeting a potential $2 billion+ uncontrolled gout market.
  • Pipeline expansion with PRX-119 (long-acting DNase) in rare renal disease and an RNA-based collaboration with Secarna.
  • Elfabrio positioned in a Fabry market projected to reach approximately $3.4 billion by 2030, with consistent increasing patient numbers across U.S. and ex-U.S. markets.

Risks & pressure points

  • FY2025 revenues of $51.8 million represented a modest decrease versus 2024, driven by changes in quantities sold to Chiesi's inventory and lower average net selling price.
  • Net loss of $6.6 million in 2025, compared to net income of $2.9 million in 2024, reflecting increased R&D investment.
  • R&D expenses increased 51% year-over-year to $19.6 million, and are expected to continue rising as PRX-115 and renal programs advance.
  • Cost of goods sold rose to $27 million due to higher sales volume to Pfizer and Fiocruz, partially offset by lower sales to Chiesi.
  • EU rollout of the every-4-weeks regimen is country-by-country and expected to show effect mainly from H2 2026, with material impact more visible in 2027 and beyond.
  • Revenue mix is heavily dependent on partner purchasing patterns, causing potential quarter-to-quarter volatility.

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“The every 4 weeks approval in the EU entitles us to a $25 million regulatory milestone payment from Chiesi. Having earned this milestone, we project a cash balance of approximately $50 million by early April 2026. This enables us to execute comfortably our strategy, including our clinical trials. For 2026, we expect total revenues to range from approximately $78 million to $83 million, including the $25 million milestone payment.” Dror Bashan, CEO
“Within that, total revenues from Chiesi are projected to be approximately $33 million to $35 million, representing growth of more than 50%. Revenues from Elelyso are expected to be approximately $20 million to $23 million. We believe that our expected 2026 revenue mix driven predominantly by Chiesi's high-margin contributions positions us well for further growth and improved profitability over time.” Gilad Mamlok, CFO
