  • Strong cash position of $236.8 million with no outstanding debt after repaying the $63.1 million term loan in full

Risks & pressure points

  • Phase 3 DiSCOVER trial for celiprolol in VEDS has only two confirmed events versus the 28 required for the interim analysis
  • Quarter-end channel inventory for MIPLYFFA was below the lower end of the preferred range due to one less shipment week in the quarter
  • Q1 reauthorizations impacted patient access timelines, highlighting ongoing payer variability and administrative burden
