Chief Commercial Officer Todd Edwards reported ZORYVE net product revenue of $81.5M, representing 164% year-over-year growth and 28% sequential growth. He expects continued growth from new indication launches, expanded PCP and pediatric channels through Kowa, and ongoing market share gains from steroid conversions, though he cautioned about seasonal moderation in Q3 before a stronger Q4 rebound. CFO Latha Vairavan noted that operating leverage improvements reduced cash burn, resulting in positive operating cash flow of $325K for the quarter. The company ended with $191.1M in cash and securities and $108M in total debt, with access to an additional $100M through mid-2026. ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก๐™จ: Net product revenue: $81.5M (+28% QoQ, +164% YoY) Cost of sales: $7.5M R&D: $19.5M SG&A: $69.2M (reflecting commercial investment) Net loss: reduced by $36.4M YoY and $9.2M QoQ ๐™Š๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ค๐™ : Management reaffirmed the goal of cash flow breakeven in 2026, supported by upcoming ZORYVE cream 0.05% approval for children (expected October 2025) and continued expansion in both dermatology and pediatric markets. ๐™๐™ž๐™จ๐™ ๐™จ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™จ: Arcutis noted seasonal fluctuations typical of prescription topical products, expecting slower Q3 growth followed by a rebound.
