Auto-generated speakersLadies and gentlemen, good afternoon. I'd like to welcome everyone to Theravance Biopharma's Second Quarter 2023 Conference Call. During the presentation, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the company's formal remarks. Today's conference call is being recorded. Now I'd like to turn the call over to Rick Winningham, Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.
Good afternoon, and thank you for joining Theravance Biopharma's second quarter 2023 conference call. On slide two, I would remind you that this call will contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as statements regarding our development pipeline, expected benefits of our products, anticipated timing of clinical trials, regulatory filings, and expected financial results. Information concerning factors that could cause results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is described further in our filings with the SEC. Turning your attention to slide three. I'm joined today by Rhonda Farnum, Chief Business Officer; Rick Graham, Head of Research and Development; and Aziz Sawaf, Chief Financial Officer. Beginning today's presentation with slide four, we set out earlier this year with three clear strategic objectives in mind: to continue growing YUPELRI by executing on our in-hospital strategy while closely collaborating with Viatris, to launch and build momentum behind our Drive Phase 3 CYPRESS study in MSA patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, and to deliver on our capital returns commitment while managing our expense base. Through the first six months of the year, we have made good progress and remain on track to accomplish these objectives. As we move into the second half of the year, we are also preparing for an exciting new chapter in Theravance's evolution. In the coming months, we expect to learn the results of our Phase 4 PIFR-2 study for YUPELRI, begin early regulatory and commercial planning for ampreloxetine, and obtain non-GAAP profitability, subject to YUPELRI's continued growth. Moving to slide five, I would like to highlight our 2023 progress today. During the quarter, our commercial team worked closely with our Viatris partners to achieve solid results for YUPELRI, with the brand achieving record performance on a number of key metrics. Net sales increased 12%, while delivering strong retail demand growth and achieving new highs in market share within the long-acting nebulization segment. We continue to drive YUPELRI brand awareness for the maintenance treatment of COPD, including its concomitant use with long-acting beta agonist therapy and its adoption among patients who have difficulty with handheld devices. Part of this latter population is the subject of our PIFR-2 study, the results of which we expect to communicate early next year. In addition to receiving orphan drug designation for ampreloxetine in May, we made significant progress with CYPRESS, opening sites in the U.S. and working with our regulators outside the U.S. to achieve key milestones towards meeting our enrollment objectives. Our teams also submitted abstracts for presentation at medical meetings scheduled for the second half of this year. These are of potential importance in helping establish ampreloxetine's differentiated clinical profile as we approach CYPRESS's conclusion and potential commercialization. Third, we made good progress on both our capital returns program and on our goal of reaching non-GAAP profitability. As of June 30, Theravance had returned nearly $264 million through this program. The company remains debt-free and stands to benefit financially from important milestones and royalties derived from assets and territories for which our partners carry commercial responsibility. In summary, our team is working hard and executing well against the priorities we laid out for the year. We remain enthusiastic about the potential catalysts we have before us. As always, we approach these challenges and opportunities with a core mission of delivering medicines that truly make a difference, thereby maximizing the organization's long-term value on behalf of our shareholders. At this point, I would like to turn the call over to Rhonda to cover YUPELRI's performance and the significant opportunities we see to continue its growth for the foreseeable future. Rhonda?
Thanks, Rick. Moving to slide seven, we are pleased to share the latest performance for YUPELRI. During the quarter, total net sales of YUPELRI reached $55 million, up 12% year-over-year. Theravance's implied 35% share of net sales for YUPELRI during the first quarter of 2023 was $19.3 million. As a reminder, Theravance and Viatris co-promote YUPELRI in the U.S., with Theravance's commercial and medical teams covering the hospital segment and Viatris being responsible for outpatient-based community healthcare needs and promotion for the product. With the return to net sales growth in Q2, we remain confident that our team will deliver strong performance for the year based on a number of positive key performance indicators. To this end, retail patient demand continues to reach new highs. As Rick mentioned in his opening comments, we have formulated and are executing a winning strategy for driving YUPELRI growth in the hospital setting. We focus our efforts on a number of areas, including formulary wins, clinical pathways, and discharge planning protocols, all with the goal of making YUPELRI available to COPD patients who may benefit from the only long-acting nebulized LAMA. Looking at Theravance's hospital results on the right side of slide seven, Q2 doses sold exclusively in the hospital setting represented a slight 2% decrease from the previous quarter, but increased 45% compared to the same period a year ago. Turning to slide eight, YUPELRI's share of the long-acting nebulized market in the hospital setting reached an all-time high of 15.2% in Q2 of 2023. We believe a number of new account wins and forthcoming system formulary additions will yield continued growth through 2023, as YUPELRI will be the first LAMA of choice in many hospitals due to the growing recognition and acceptance of YUPELRI's clinical benefits and once-daily value proposition. As a key component of the joint strategy between the Theravance and Viatris teams, data continued to show that the large majority of patients receiving YUPELRI in the hospital setting are discharged with a prescription to continue their treatment in the outpatient setting, allowing for continuity of YUPELRI maintenance therapy post-hospitalization. Reflecting further on the community setting, which includes both the retail and DME channel, YUPELRI's market share increased to 29% through May of 2023 based on our latest available data. On slide nine, we provide a snapshot of YUPELRI retail script performance, which serves as a reliable proxy and a more real-time view of community demand. Total prescriptions and new patient starts continue to reach new quarterly highs during the second quarter. Total scripts increased 7.8% quarter-over-quarter and 25.9% year-over-year, while new patient starts increased 5.6% quarter-over-quarter and 53% year-over-year. New patient starts are key to future performance, and the recent exceptional growth in both new patient starts and total prescriptions can be attributed to the realization of new commercial initiatives, which include concomitant use education and expansion into additional care channels, as well as continued focus on fulfillment support. Looking beyond this quarter's success, there still exist significant long-term growth opportunities for YUPELRI. On slide 10, starting with the current long-acting nebulized patient population in the upper left corner, we expect our market share to continue to grow, both from switches as well as an add-on therapy with further deployment of concomitant education. As we have previously noted, updated 2023 GOLD guidelines now recommend initial combo LAMA plus LABA therapy for both Group B and E, yet a substantial number of patients in these groups remain symptomatic on nebulized LABA monotherapy and could receive additional benefit from adding YUPELRI. There are also many patients inappropriately using short-acting nebulized treatment for maintenance who may benefit from switching to a once-a-day long-acting therapy such as YUPELRI, as these are patients who are obviously familiar with nebulized therapy and have a reason to be using a nebulizer but choose to rely on short-acting therapies that typically require four to six administrations daily, thereby transitioning to a once-a-day maintenance therapy. Lastly, there are even more patients on handheld-only maintenance regimens that remain symptomatic due to a number of reasons, including dexterity challenges, cognitive impairment, and/or suboptimal peak inspiratory flow. We believe that this population could benefit by switching to nebulized therapy involving YUPELRI as the only once-daily nebulized LAMA indicated for COPD maintenance treatment. In particular, we look forward to learning the results of the PIFR-2 study, which compares YUPELRI directly to tiotropium administered via a dry powder handheld device in patients with suboptimal peak inspiratory flow. As many of you know, tiotropium is one of the most prescribed LAMA therapies for COPD. At present, we estimate that approximately 60,000 patients are receiving YUPELRI therapy, representing only a small fraction of the sizable niche opportunity these patient segments represent. In aggregate, we size the addressable patient population at approximately 2 million potential patients for whom YUPELRI may be appropriate, suggesting that we have only just scratched the surface. Given the significant remaining opportunity, we expect to continue, if not accelerate, the pace of YUPELRI adoption moving forward. With that, I will turn the presentation over to Rick Graham. Rick?
Thanks, Rhonda. As we've covered in the past, slide 12 illustrates the design of the ongoing Phase 4 PIFR-2 study in patients with severe or very severe COPD and suboptimal peak inspiratory flow rates. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive either revefenacin via nebulization or tiotropium delivered via dry powder inhaler, with the primary endpoint being the change from baseline in trough FEV1 at day 85. Enrollment is nearly complete, and we expect to have top-line results late in the fourth quarter of the year. We're continuing to work with our partners at Viatris regarding the exact timing of disclosure, but currently intend to disclose results in January of 2024. On slide 13, I would like to remind our audience briefly of the rationale behind the PIFR-2 study design. Our previously conducted PIFR-1 study published in 2019 included 206 patients with GOLD 2, 3, and 4 status and a peak inspiratory flow of less than 60 liters per minute. GOLD 2 through 4 patients have moderate to very severe COPD and a baseline FEV1 of less than 80% of what will be predicted. In PIFR-1, revefenacin treatment did not demonstrate a statistically significant advantage over tiotropium, although there was a numerical trend favoring revefenacin, driven by GOLD 3 and 4 patients with baseline FEV1 of less than 50% of predicted. Importantly, a pre-specified analysis of GOLD 3 and 4 patients, shown on the right-hand figure, demonstrated a clear and clinically relevant treatment benefit of revefenacin over tiotropium. We, therefore, designed the PIFR-2 study in this population of responders—COPD patients with suboptimal peak inspiratory flow and baseline FEV1 values of less than 50% of predicted. As Rhonda covered in her comments, a positive result from PIFR-2 would provide the commercial organization a catalyst to help drive YUPELRI uptake in a portion of the maintenance COPD market whose symptoms are inadequately controlled despite treatment with handheld LAMA-containing regimens. Turning to ampreloxetine, slide 15 outlines the design of our registrational study, 197, also known as CYPRESS, for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and multiple system atrophy patients. Based on the strength of the prior Phase 3 study results and alignment with the FDA on the primary endpoint and study design, we believe the CYPRESS study has a high probability of technical and regulatory success. The study consists of a 12-week open-label period followed by an 8-week double-blind placebo-controlled randomized withdrawal phase. The duration of the open-label and randomized withdrawal periods were optimized based on the results from our prior 170 study. Given strong results from the 170 study, the primary efficacy endpoint in CYPRESS is the change in OHSA composite score. The composite score captures a broad set of symptoms and is expected to reduce variability relative to an individual symptom score such as OHSA number one, an endpoint that has been used in other programs. As announced last quarter, the Phase 3 CYPRESS study is open and actively recruiting patients, and we project enrollment to be completed in the second half of 2024. I'm proud of the team's accomplishments as they've made good progress in activating multiple clinical trial sites in the U.S., with several coming online in the near future. We have also made substantial progress with the new centralized EU clinical trial application process and expect to be in a position to activate a large number of EU sites throughout the second half of this year. As shown on slide 16, we estimate that the addressable patient population for ampreloxetine is between 35,000 and 45,000 individuals in the United States. Despite two approved therapies indicated to treat symptoms of orthostatic hypertension, there remains a significant unmet need, which we believe ampreloxetine could address. First, based on data generated to date, we believe ampreloxetine has the potential to impact multiple symptoms of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension durably with a favorable safety profile. Neither approved OH therapy has demonstrated broad and durable symptom relief in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, including those with multiple system atrophy. Second, ampreloxetine is dosed as a single 10-milligram tablet administered once daily. This is especially beneficial for multiple system atrophy patients with dysphagia, which is a frequent and disabling symptom of the disease. Current therapies typically require patients to take multiple tablets several times a day. Third, patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension are also at risk for supine hypertension, a dangerous decrease in blood pressure while lying down. The two FDA-approved therapies used for the treatment of orthostatic hypertension have black box warnings in the label, highlighting the risk and recommending both frequent monitoring and management of this issue. Relative to the current treatment options, ampreloxetine has the potential to decrease the risk of supine hypertension. At night, ampreloxetine remains in the system, as a result of its relatively long half-life. But because the natural norepinephrine levels are reduced during sleep, ampreloxetine does not cause overstimulation and as a result, reduces the risk of hypertension. In fact, in a safety database of more than 800 patients in healthy subjects, no signal for supine hypertension has been observed with ampreloxetine treatment. As we enter a new era in treating symptoms of multiple system atrophy, we believe ampreloxetine offers hope to patients with symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. On slide 17, we summarize how the current treatment landscape translates into an opportunity for ampreloxetine. There are only two FDA-approved therapies, coupled with limited effectiveness as well as safety and tolerability issues; treatment tends to be highly individualized in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. Issues such as inconsistent response to therapy and the risk of supine hypertension complicate medical management and lead to high administrative burden. Depending on their experiences, patients may remain on therapy for only a short duration. Based on our clinical experience with ampreloxetine to date, we believe that it offers significant potential to improve both the number of symptomatic multiple system atrophy patients treated with pharmacotherapy for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and both compliance and persistence rates among those treated. Ampreloxetine appears to be safe and well tolerated, and given its differentiated efficacy and safety profile, we are optimistic that it will yield clinically relevant and durable benefit for patients. I'll now turn the call over to Aziz to review the financials.
Thanks, Rick. On slides 19 and 20, you can find our financial results for the quarter, which came in line with our expectations. Skipping ahead to the highlights on slide 21, our collaboration revenue recognized through our Viatris partnership grew 26% in the quarter to $13.7 million. As a reminder, while this figure incorporates 35% of YUPELRI net sales as recorded by Viatris, it may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the shared expenses we and Viatris reimburse each other under the terms of our collaboration. During the quarter, our operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and non-recurring items, were approximately $22 million, down from $27 million in Q1 2023, and landing us in line with internal expectations and on track to meet our 2023 guidance. Stock-based compensation, excluding restructuring expenses, declined 21% year-over-year, and including restructuring expenses incurred in 2022 but not in 2023, our stock-based compensation declined 35% year-over-year. One item to call out that was not in our previous guidance is a $1.2 million non-recurring charge related to the sale of lab equipment in the quarter. While generating an accounting loss, the sale actually brought in approximately $1.5 million of net cash proceeds. As mentioned on previous calls, we do not anticipate incurring any additional cash-related restructuring costs in the future. Our non-GAAP loss in the quarter was $7.4 million, and excluding the aforementioned non-cash non-recurring accounting charge, our non-GAAP loss would have been $6.2 million. We ended Q2 with $167 million of cash and equivalents, no debt, and 53.7 million shares outstanding, reflecting a 30% reduction in share count year-over-year due to the continued progress of our share buyback program. Looking ahead, we are maintaining our operating expense guidance for the year, excluding share-based compensation and one-time items. As we have previously mentioned, R&D expenses should be steady in the third quarter before beginning to build into year-end. We expect SG&A to slightly decline in Q3 and Q4 and remain relatively steady throughout the remainder of the year. As Rick mentioned earlier, we continue to expect to generate non-GAAP profitability in the second half of the year, which will be primarily driven by the expectation of increased net sales growth from YUPELRI. Turning to slide 23 for a brief update on our capital return program. We bought back over $80 million worth of shares in the quarter, leaving us with $61 million left on our authorization and bringing the total capital return since inception to $264 million. We continue to expect to complete the program by year-end. Finally, on slide 24, I would remind everyone of our potential to earn milestones and royalties on global net sales of TRELEGY realized by GSK. Beginning this year and extending through 2026, we have the potential to earn up to $250 million in sales milestones depending on TRELEGY's performance. In the second quarter, TRELEGY's sales reached $760 million, up 29%, and year-to-date sales reached approximately $1.3 billion, up 27%. While it is still unclear whether we will achieve the first of the milestones in 2023, we are increasingly optimistic based on TRELEGY's continued strong growth that we should achieve at least some of the sales milestones available to us through our arrangement with Royalty Pharma. With that, I'll turn the call back to Rick for closing remarks.
Thanks, Aziz. I'm happy to share that the second quarter of 2023 represented a strong example of how Theravance's focused strategy positions the company and its shareholders to benefit from balanced value creation. YUPELRI enjoyed good growth this quarter, owing to solid execution by our commercial partnership and continued messaging around concomitant use with nebulized LAMAs. On top of this, we also see a substantial opportunity to replace inappropriate use of short-acting therapies as maintenance and handheld devices where nebulized therapy may offer clinical advantages. We continue to work hard to advance the CYPRESS study, such that we might make this important therapy available more broadly, and we look forward to sharing further details on the program in the coming months. Finally, it's heartening to see TRELEGY growing so strongly, with several important financial milestones right around the corner. We're delivering all this from a solid financial position and have returned over $260 million of cash to our shareholders through our capital returns program while reducing our ongoing expense base significantly. We appreciate both your interest and support as we continue on Theravance's new growth trajectory. Thank you all for joining us today, and I will now hand the call back to the operator for questions.
Certainly. Our first question comes from David Risinger from Leerink. Please go ahead with your question.
Yes, very much, and thank you for the update. So I have a few questions, please. First, with respect to the revenue prospects for the business, could you talk about how we should think about year-over-year revenue growth potential in coming quarters relative to the rate of growth that you booked in revenue in the second quarter? And then second, with respect to the SG&A spending, that was $30 million in the first half of '23, excluding stock-based compensation. The guidance is for $45 million to $55 million for the year. So at the midpoint of that guidance at $50 million, that would reflect a meaningful step down in SG&A spending in the second half versus that $30 million in the first half? If you could comment on that and help us think about how we should consider prospects for SG&A spending, both in the third quarter and the fourth quarter, i.e., is one going to be higher than another for some reason? Thank you very much.
Aziz, do you want to take the revenue and then bridge over to SG&A?
Yes, sure. I can comment on the collaboration revenue and the net sales. So, David, as we've talked about before, I think there's been a consistent gap of about $5 million or $6 million between the 35% of net sales and our collaboration revenue, and that has been steady over the past year or so. That gap will probably remain consistent going forward into the outer years. So the way in which you would model collaboration revenue going forward is just whatever incremental dollar of net sales, 35% of that gets added to the collaboration revenue. In other words, the gap between the 35% and the collaboration revenue should remain steady. If you want to model next year, just take the incremental sales amount, multiply it by 35%, and add it to the collaboration revenue, and that will get your model out to next year and beyond for collaboration revenue. Now we're still in the process of reviewing the budget with Viatris, the shared budget. That does affect that gap between the 35% of the sales and the collaboration revenue, but I don't expect a meaningful change to the underlying shared expenses related to the collaboration. So that's question one. The second question is a good one about SG&A. As I mentioned during the call, I do expect SG&A spending to decrease in Q3 and Q4. For overall spend, we are very much in line with our guidance of about $90 million at the midpoint. We're trending a little lower on the R&D side and a bit higher on the SG&A side. Part of that for SG&A relates to an allocation issue between R&D and SG&A. After the research restructuring in Q1, R&D is a smaller proportion of the overall company, which results in it being allocated lesser amounts of the overhead costs, which shift over to SG&A as it becomes a greater percentage of the total company, even though the actual overhead costs don't change at all. So that's just a shifting of the dollars between R&D and SG&A artificially as a result of the restructuring. That's one reason. But if you think about SG&A in Q3 and Q4, it should be pretty similar in Q3 and Q4, going down from Q2. The big picture is we're right in line from a total expense perspective related to guidance. We're slightly below for R&D and slightly above, but all within the ranges that we've provided before. So hopefully, that provides some clarity for you, David.
Yes, to add just a bit more on drivers of sales growth, and Rhonda talked about this during her section. If you really look at the sales right now, a nebulized long-acting beta agonist, which are generic and current GOLD guidelines, and then the fact that nearly 50% of our Phase 3 program has had concomitant use of either a beta agonist or beta agonist plus inhaled corticosteroid. The use of YUPELRI with a nebulized long-acting beta agonist, that patients adhering to GOLD guidelines and physicians adhering to GOLD guidelines can serve as a significant driver of revenue growth for us going forward with YUPELRI. And that's setting aside the opportunity Rhonda spoke about with short-acting nebulized medications that are currently inappropriately being used as maintenance therapy and then any lift that we can get from the PIFR-2 study should be positive.
Got it. Thank you, Rick.
Our next question comes from the line of Douglas Tsao from H.C. Wainwright. Your question, please.
Hi, good afternoon. Thank you for taking my questions. To follow up on the previous topic regarding how to consider your share of the collaboration revenue versus the implied revenue share, you mentioned that it's approximately $5 million to $6 million quarterly. Should we evaluate this in absolute dollar terms, or should we view it in terms of percentage changes? Over time, will this ratio narrow as we achieve greater profitability in that business through economies of scale or leverage?
Yes. Thanks, Doug. As I mentioned to David a moment ago, the $5 million to $6 million figure should remain stable. For instance, if YUPELRI sales increase by $100 million, the difference between 35% of those sales and the collaboration revenue will still be $5 million. While the relative percentage may change slightly, the actual dollar amount will remain at $5 million. Therefore, as YUPELRI begins to grow in the future, this difference will become less significant from a percentage perspective and will be relatively unimportant. Does that help, Doug?
Yes, that does. And can you provide just a comment in terms of how YUPELRI is doing from a gross to net standpoint right now?
I think that you can go ahead, Aziz.
Yes, I will pass it on to Rhonda for additional commentary. However, we do not comment on gross to net, as that is managed by Viatris. It’s fair to say that Viatris has effectively maintained the average selling price relatively stable over time, with no significant changes in the gross to net amidst typical fluctuations. Overall, the gross to net has remained quite steady from quarter to quarter, and we are satisfied with how Viatris has handled the average selling price. Rhonda, do you have any additional comments on that?
No, I think that's well said. The average selling price is very healthy for this product.
Just one final question. Now that the PIFR-2 readout is approaching, how should we consider the expected outcome? What is the plan for maximizing its commercial benefits? Thank you.
Rhonda, do you want to take that?
Yes, I'll start with the obvious that you've already stated, Doug, and that being a positive study and then ensuring that we get that publication peer-reviewed very quickly, which would be the plan, and then having the ability to communicate these data more broadly with our partner with the optimized outcome, which would transpire over the course of the subsequent quarters for 2024.
Would there be any thought to trying to get that added to the label formally?
I believe we have a very broad label with YUPELRI. Historically, there have been many PIFR patients included in the label. What we are doing is narrowing our focus on a specific group of PIFR patients based on FEV1 predicted in particular GOLD stages, specifically GOLD 3 and 4, where we may be able to better demonstrate the advantages over handheld products like tiotropium. Positive data in this area could be quite significant for us, even without making labeling changes since our current label is already broad. As we discussed, we are focusing on a substantial patient population with COPD that our medication could potentially outperform, particularly compared to the leading product in the category, tiotropium.
Okay, great. That’s really helpful.
Our next question comes from Eva Xia Privitera from Cowen. Your question, please.
Hi, congrats on the quarter. And thanks for taking our questions. For YUPELRI, can you talk about the slight decrease of 2% this quarter in the hospital doses despite the share increasing? Maybe discuss this decline in the hospital market? And what was the reason for that?
Sure. Eva, I appreciate the question. I think just to still kind of level set that slight decline coming off of the largest significant quarter in Q1; we are also trying to reconcile that relative to seeing continued market share growth and some overall decline in the long-acting nebulization market that informed buying patterns within the hospital segment. However, that drawdown has already occurred. Looking at the current trends in Q3, we've already exceeded that gap. So I would kind of classify that as a small dip and take that into consideration relative to the other KPIs that continue to increase. We have a significant proportion of patients that are leaving the hospital with a post-discharge script for YUPELRI. Thinking about that translating to outpatient persistency, as well as the increases in the retail view with both total prescriptions and new patient starts seeing those significant growth factors contributing to the larger kind of transition of care.
So in short, Eva, our view is that Q2 was really a blip in terms of the market, and as Rhonda said, the market is already back on track here in Q3.
Perfect. Thank you. And for the PIFR-2 trial, can you level set about what we can expect from the top-line disclosure of which secondary endpoints are going to be disclosed and how much safety. And in terms of the secondary endpoints, which ones do you think are particularly important to drive adoption?
So I will start with it, and then I'll hand it over to Rick. I think relative to the disclosure and what a release might look like, we're still working through that, obviously, with our partner being able to showcase a clinically meaningful difference in FEV1 along the range that we saw in earlier GOLD 3 and GOLD 4 patients that Rick highlighted which would be quite substantial. We can talk about the secondaries, but we are still working through what the disclosure would be in a release.
Yes, not much more to add, but Eva, I think as Rick said, the primary endpoint change from baseline in trough FEV1, along with the key secondary endpoint, trough overall treatment effect on FEV1, should be reasonable to include, along with a focus on key safety events. As we usually do after the top-line, we will present follow-up data in some form perhaps at an upcoming medical meeting.
Perfect. Thank you so much.
Thank you. This does conclude the question-and-answer session of today's program. I'd like to hand the program back to Rick Winningham for any further remarks.
Yes, I would just like to thank you for joining us today for a discussion on the second quarter results. We look forward to keeping you updated through the remainder of the year, and we're very excited about 2023 and what it means for the company, what it means for our execution and driving our mission to deliver medicines that make a difference for patients and drive long-term shareholder value. So with that, thank you very much, and have a good day.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Good day.
