Cipher Pharmaceuticals Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2025

Q3 2025 saw strong revenue and profit growth, led by Natroba, with significant debt reduction and robust free cash flow. Licensing revenue declined due to generic competition, but new DTC and global expansion strategies are underway. Several state Medicaid bids for Natroba are pending.

Q1 2025 saw a 105% revenue increase to $12M, driven by Natroba's strong U.S. launch and robust Canadian sales. Licensing revenue declined due to generics, but adjusted EBITDA rose 73%. Natroba's Medicaid win in Illinois and a $15M debt repayment post-quarter highlight key developments.
Fiscal Year 2024
