·YUPELRI® (revefenacin) net sales of $66.3 million, recognized by Viatris, increased 22% year-over-year1

 

·Pivotal Phase 3 CYPRESS study enrollment on track to complete by late summer

 

·Completed sale of TRELEGY ELLIPTA royalty interest to GSK for $225 million

 

·TRELEGY year-to-date sales on track to trigger $50 million milestone in 2025

 

·Strong balance sheet with $339 million in cash and no debt

 

DUBLIN, IRELAND – AUGUST 12, 2025 – Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (“Theravance Biopharma” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TBPH) today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2025.

 

“Strong execution across our business defined the second quarter, driven by commercial growth, disciplined operations, and continued progress on ampreloxetine. YUPELRI posted another strong quarter in the U.S., and its recent approval in China triggered a $7.5 million milestone payment. With the completion of the strategic monetization of our TRELEGY royalty interest, which brought in $225 million, these accomplishments have meaningfully strengthened our business,” said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer of Theravance Biopharma. “We enter the second half of 2025 with momentum and a clear focus on ampreloxetine. We remain on track for completing the enrollment in our pivotal Phase 3 CYPRESS study in late summer, and continue to prepare for reporting top-line data approximately six months later.”

 

Second Quarter Operational Highlights:

 

YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution, the first and only once-daily, nebulized LAMA (long-acting muscarinic antagonist) bronchodilator approved in the US for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD):

 

·Achieved total U.S. net sales of $66.3 million in Q2 2025, increasing 22% year-over-year (Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024).1

 

·Grew customer demand 4% for the quarter (Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024).2

 

·Net sales benefited from continued improvement to net pricing and a one-time favorable adjustment to net price. Excluding the one-time adjustment, year-over-year net sales growth would have been in the mid-teens.

 

·Increased doses pulled through the hospital channel by 31% year-over-year (Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024), reflecting another quarter of strong momentum.3

 

·Earned $7.5 million milestone payment from Viatris in Q2 2025 for YUPELRI approval in China.

Ampreloxetine, an investigational, once-daily, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA):

 

·Pivotal Phase 3 CYPRESS study enrollment nearing completion with final patient expected to be enrolled by late summer; top-line data anticipated approximately six months later.

 

·Advancing pre-launch activities across medical affairs and commercial functions in preparation for the potential approval of ampreloxetine, a once-daily therapy aiming to transform treatment for symptomatic nOH in patients with MSA.

 

TRELEGY

 

GSK posted second quarter 2025 global net sales of approximately $1.1 billion (up 4% vs. the second quarter of 2024) and year-to-date net sales of approximately $2.0 billion (up 8% vs. 2024 year-to-date):

 

·Currently on track to exceed full year (FY) 2025 global net sales of ~$3.4 billion (representing minus 1% growth vs. 2024) required to trigger $50M milestone from Royalty Pharma.

 

·FY 2026 global net sales of ~$3.5 billion (representing 2% growth vs. 2024) required to trigger $100M milestone from Royalty Pharma.

 

Sale of Remaining Royalty Interest in Trelegy Ellipta to GSK:

 

·One-time cash payment of $225 million received in late Q2 2025.

 

·This transaction represents the first outcome of the ongoing efforts of the Strategic Review Committee of the Board of Directors. Theravance Biopharma announced on November 12, 2024, that the Board of Directors had formed the Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, to assess all strategic alternatives available to the Company.

 

·The Company remains focused on disciplined capital allocation and returning excess cash to shareholders. The Committee will continue to evaluate a range of alternatives to further enhance shareholder value, though there can be no assurance that additional transactions will occur.

 

Second quarter Financial Results:

 

·Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $26.2 million, consisting of $18.7 million of Viatris collaboration revenue and $7.5 million of licensing revenue from YUPELRI’s regulatory approval in China. Viatris collaboration revenue increased by $4.4 million, or 31%, in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2024. The Viatris collaboration revenue represents amounts receivable from Viatris and comprises the Company’s 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI, as well as its proportionate amount of the total shared commercial costs incurred by the two companies. The non-shared YUPELRI costs incurred by Theravance Biopharma are recorded within operating expenses. While Viatris records the total net sales of YUPELRI within its financial statements, Theravance Biopharma’s implied 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI for the second quarter of 2025 was $23.2 million which represented a 22% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

·Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $10.5 million, compared to $10.0 million in the same period in 2024. Second quarter R&D expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $1.0 million.

 

·Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $18.4 million, compared to $17.1 million in the same period in 2024. Second quarter SG&A expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $3.5 million.

 

·Share-Based Compensation: Share-based compensation expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $4.5 million, compared to $5.4 million in the same period in 2024. Share-based compensation expenses consisted of $1.0 million for R&D and $3.5 million for SG&A in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in the same period in 2024.

 

·Net Gain on Realized Contingent Milestone and Royalty Assets: Net gain on contingent milestone and royalty assets (representing the sale of our remaining interest in TRELEGY royalties) was $75.1 million. The net gain was based on sales proceeds of $225.0 million less our carrying value of TRELEGY’s contingent milestone and royalty assets of $144.2 million and less transaction costs of $5.7 million.

 

·Income Taxes: Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $18.4 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by the net gain on contingent milestone and royalty assets arising from the sale of our remaining interest in TRELEGY royalties.

 

·Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Loss from Operations4: Net income was $54.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $16.5 million in the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP net loss from operations was $4.2 million in the second quarter 2025 compared to a non-GAAP net loss from operations of $6.3 million in the same period in 2024. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information.

 

·Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $338.8 million as of June 30, 2025.

 

 

4 Non-GAAP profit (loss) consists of GAAP net income (loss) before taxes less (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) non-cash interest expense, (iii) non-cash impairment expense; and (iv) non-recurring revenue and income items. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information.

About Ampreloxetine

 

Ampreloxetine, an investigational, once-daily, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). The unique benefits of ampreloxetine treatment reported in MSA patients from Study 0170 included an increase in norepinephrine levels, a favorable impact on blood pressure, clinically meaningful and durable symptom improvement, and no signal for worsening of supine hypertension. In the US, the Company has been granted an Orphan Drug Designation for ampreloxetine for the treatment of symptomatic nOH in patients with MSA and, if results from the ongoing Phase 3 CYPRESS study are supportive, plans to file an NDA for full approval in this indication.

About CYPRESS (Study 0197), a Phase 3 Study

 

Study 0197 (NCT05696717) is currently enrolling. This is a registrational Phase 3, multi-center, randomized withdrawal study to evaluate the efficacy and durability of ampreloxetine in participants with MSA and symptomatic nOH after 20 weeks of treatment; the primary endpoint of the study is change in the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) composite score. The Study includes four periods: screening, open label (12-week period, participants will receive a single daily 10 mg dose of ampreloxetine), randomized withdrawal (eight-week period, double-blind, placebo-controlled, participants will receive a single daily 10 mg dose of placebo or ampreloxetine), and a long-term treatment extension. Secondary outcome measures include change from baseline in Orthostatic Hypotension Daily Activity Scale (OHDAS) item 1 (activities that require standing for a short time) and item 3 (activities that require walking for a short time).

 

About Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Symptomatic Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (nOH)

 

MSA is a progressive brain disorder that affects movement and balance and disrupts the function of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls body functions that are mostly involuntary. One of the most frequent autonomic symptoms associated with MSA is a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing (nOH).5 There are approximately 50,000 MSA patients in the US6 and 70-90% of MSA patients experience nOH symptoms.7 Despite available therapies, many MSA patients remain symptomatic with nOH.

 

Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a rare disorder defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure of  ≥ 20 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of ≥ 10 mm Hg, within 3 minutes of standing. Severely affected patients are unable to stand for more than a few seconds because of their decrease in blood pressure, leading to cerebral hypoperfusion and syncope. A debilitating condition, nOH results in a range of symptoms including dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, fatigue, blurry vision, weakness, trouble concentrating, and head and neck pain.

Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of such statements include statements relating to: the Company’s expectations regarding its future profitability, expenses and uses of cash, the Company’s goals, designs, strategies, plans and objectives, future growth of YUPELRI sales, future milestone or royalty payments, the ability to provide value to shareholders, the Company’s regulatory strategies and timing of clinical studies, the safety, efficacy or differentiation of our investigational therapy, the status of patent infringement litigation initiated by the Company and its partner against certain generic companies in federal district courts; , and expectations around the use of OHSA scores as endpoints for clinical trials. These statements are based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of Theravance Biopharma as of the date of this press release and the conference call and are subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results of Theravance Biopharma to be materially different from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, risks related to: factors that could increase the Company’s cash requirements or expenses beyond its expectations and any factors that could adversely affect its profitability, whether the milestone thresholds can be achieved, delays or difficulties in commencing, enrolling or completing clinical studies, the potential that results from clinical or non-clinical studies indicate the Company’s product candidates or product are unsafe, ineffective or not differentiated, risks of decisions from regulatory authorities that are unfavorable to the Company, dependence on third parties to conduct clinical studies, delays or failure to achieve and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates, risks of collaborating with or relying on third parties to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize products, and risks associated with establishing and maintaining sales, marketing and distribution capabilities with appropriate technical expertise and supporting infrastructure, the ability of the Company to protect and to enforce its intellectual property rights, volatility and fluctuations in the trading price and volume of the Company’s shares, and general economic and market conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Theravance Biopharma provides a non-GAAP profitability target and a non-GAAP metric in this press release. Theravance Biopharma believes that the non-GAAP profitability target and non-GAAP net income (loss) provide meaningful information to assist investors in assessing prospects for future performance and actual performance as they provide better metrics for analyzing the performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results and the Company's cash position. Because non-GAAP financial targets and metrics, such as non-GAAP profitability and non-GAAP net loss, are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies' non-GAAP targets or measures having the same or a similar name. Thus, Theravance Biopharma's non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, the Company's actual GAAP results and other targets.

 

Please see the appendix attached to this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP net loss to its corresponding measure, net income (loss). A reconciliation of non-GAAP net loss to its corresponding GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses and other factors in the future.
