📋 Highlights
  • BRINSUPRI Launch Momentum:: $28 million net sales in first partial quarter, with 1,700 physicians prescribing (mostly 1-2 scripts each).
  • ARIKAYCE Revenue Growth:: 22% YoY revenue increase in Q3 and 2025 full-year guidance raised to $420–$430 million (+15–18% vs. 2024).
  • Label Expansion Potential:: ENCORE trial could expand ARIKAYCE’s addressable patient population from ~15,000 to >100,000 NTM MAC lung disease patients.
  • Cash Position:: $1.7 billion in cash, with consistent burn and plans to scale operations for BRINSUPRI and pipeline programs.

Financial Performance

The revenue growth was driven by the strong performance of both ARIKAYCE and BRINSUPRI. The company's guidance for 2025 full-year global ARIKAYCE net revenue has been raised to $420-430 million, representing a 15-18% increase over 2024 revenues. The gross to net deductions for BRINSUPRI are expected to be significant, which will impact the company's profitability. Insmed's underlying cash burn for the quarter was consistent with previous levels, and the company expects revenue and spending to increase as it fully resources and supports BRINSUPRI's launch and other portfolio programs.

BRINSUPRI Launch Update

The launch of BRINSUPRI has been well-received, with approximately 1,700 physicians prescribing the treatment. The company's commercial team has been working to raise awareness of the medicine, and payers have provided broad patient access from day one. Will Lewis, Chair and CEO, noted that physicians are initially focusing on more severe patients, but the company is learning about the medicine's potential in more moderate patients. The treatment has been broadly prescribed, with most physicians writing only one or two scripts, which is attributed to a common practice of testing a new medicine in a small number of severe patients before expanding its usage.

Pipeline Progress

Insmed's pipeline is progressing well, with several late-stage and commercial programs. The Phase III ENCORE trial of ARIKAYCE is ongoing, and the company expects to expand the label to include recently diagnosed patients with NTM MAC lung disease. The BiRCh study of brensocatib in CRS without nasal polyps is also ongoing, and the company is taking its time to ensure the data meets the highest regulatory standards. The TPIP program is expected to start Phase III trials, and the company is ramping up production.

Valuation

Insmed's valuation metrics indicate a high growth expectation. The company's Price-to-Sales Ratio is 90.46, indicating that the market is pricing in significant revenue growth. The EV/EBITDA ratio is -36.35, reflecting the company's current loss-making position. The ROE is -183.55%, and the ROIC is -56.53%, indicating that the company is not generating returns on its investments. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 133.0%, which may be challenging to achieve given the current performance.
