Travere Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:TVTX) reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, delivering a significant bottom-line beat on non-GAAP earnings per share but falling short of Wall Street's top-line expectations. The market's initial reaction was muted, with shares trading slightly lower in after-hours activity.
Earnings and Revenue Versus Estimates
The biopharmaceutical company's performance presented a mixed picture relative to analyst forecasts. While profitability exceeded expectations, revenue growth, though strong, did not meet the high bar set by estimates.
- Non-GAAP EPS: The company reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.03 per basic share, for the fourth quarter. This result substantially outperformed the consensus analyst estimate for a loss of $0.04 per share.
- Revenue: Total revenue for Q4 2025 was $129.7 million. This represents impressive year-over-year growth of 73%, primarily driven by the launch of its kidney disease drug FILSPARI. However, it came in below the analyst estimate of approximately $147.7 million.
- Full-Year Context: For the full year 2025, Travere reported total revenue of $490.7 million, a 110% increase from 2024. The company also narrowed its net loss significantly to $25.5 million ($0.29 per share) from $321.5 million ($4.08 per share) in the prior year.
Market Reaction and Price Action
Following the earnings release, Travere's stock experienced a slight decline in after-market trading. This muted reaction suggests investors are balancing the positive signal of accelerated profitability against the revenue miss. The performance over recent weeks has been relatively flat, indicating the market was in a holding pattern ahead of these results. The immediate price action reflects a tempered response, likely as the market digests the balance between robust commercial execution with FILSPARI and the costs associated with preparing for future launches.
Key Highlights from the Earnings Report
Beyond the headline numbers, Travere's report emphasized strong commercial momentum and critical pipeline advancements.
Commercial Execution with FILSPARI:
- U.S. net product sales for FILSPARI reached $103.3 million in Q4, representing 108% growth compared to Q4 2024.
- Full-year 2025 sales for the drug totaled $322.0 million, a 144% increase year-over-year.
- The company received 908 new patient start forms in the quarter, indicating continued demand from physicians.
Pipeline and Regulatory Catalysts:
- The supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for FILSPARI in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) remains under FDA review with a target action date of April 13, 2026. The company stated it is "well positioned" for a potential launch.
- Enrollment has restarted in the pivotal Phase 3 HARMONY study for pegtibatinase in classical homocystinuria (HCU), a potential first-in-class therapy.
- Partner Chugai Pharmaceutical expects to submit a New Drug Application for sparsentan in Japan in 2026, which could trigger milestone payments to Travere.
Financial Position:
- The company ended the year with $322.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
- Operating expenses increased, largely due to investments in the FSGS launch preparation and continued commercialization of FILSPARI.
Looking Ahead
While the company did not provide specific financial guidance for 2026 in the press release, the analyst community has established expectations. Current consensus estimates project sales for the full year 2026 to reach approximately $705.7 million. The trajectory of FILSPARI's adoption and the upcoming FDA decision in April for the FSGS indication will be the primary drivers of Travere's performance in the coming year.
