Recent Company History

Over the past five earnings-related announcements, Catalyst reported consistent revenue growth across FIRDAPSE, AGAMREE, and FYCOMPA, repeatedly using the term “record” for quarterly or annual results. Guidance has generally trended higher, with 2024 and 2025 revenue outlooks raised or reaffirmed. Cash balances stayed strong and debt-free, while a $200M repurchase program and patent litigation updates framed capital allocation and exclusivity. Today’s 2025 results and 2026 guidance continue this pattern of portfolio-driven growth and disciplined financial positioning.

Analysis

This announcement highlights record $589.0M 2025 revenues, solid GAAP and non-GAAP earnings growth, and 2026 revenue guidance of $615M–$645M, supported by FIRDAPSE and AGAMREE momentum. Cash and equivalents of $709.2M and an authorized $200M repurchase program underscore balance sheet strength. Historically, earnings have triggered mixed share reactions, so investors may focus on execution versus guidance, competitive dynamics, royalty step-downs, and progress of AGAMREE’s SUMMIT study and business development efforts.

Key Terms

non-GAAP, restricted stock units, New Drug Submission, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, +4 more
8 terms
non-GAAP financial
"Non-GAAP net income for full year 2025 was $346.2 million..."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
restricted stock units financial
"687 restricted stock units vested and converted into an equal number..."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
New Drug Submission regulatory
"Health Canada approval of AGAMREE New Drug Submission, marking the first therapy..."
A new drug submission is a formal package of scientific data and paperwork sent to a health authority to request permission to sell a medicine. For investors it signals a key milestone: approval opens the door to sales and revenue, while rejection or delays can cut expected value — think of it like applying for a building permit that determines whether and when a new product can be put on the market.
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome medical
"for the indication of improving muscle weakness in patients living with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome"
An autoimmune disorder where the immune system damages nerve endings that release the chemical signals muscles need, causing muscle weakness and tiredness; think of it like a frayed electrical connection that can’t deliver full power to a motor. It matters to investors because the condition’s link to certain cancers, ongoing drug development, clinical trial results, or regulatory approvals can directly affect healthcare company revenues and risk profiles.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy medical
"first therapy approved in Canada to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)..."
A rare, inherited condition that progressively weakens muscles, Duchenne muscular dystrophy causes the body’s muscle fibers to break down over time, often leading to severe disability. For investors, it matters because the small, well-defined patient population, high unmet medical need and complex regulatory and pricing dynamics mean successes or failures in clinical trials, approvals, or therapies can have outsized effects on a company’s valuation and future revenue prospects.
open-label medical
"Continued enrollment in the SUMMIT study, an open-label, five-year follow-up study..."
Open-label describes a situation where everyone involved in a study or process knows the full details, such as who is receiving a treatment or intervention. For investors, understanding whether a project or product is open-label helps gauge the level of transparency and potential biases, influencing trust and decision-making. It’s like knowing whether a test or experiment is conducted openly or behind closed doors.
royalty financial
"the royalty on net U.S. sales that the Company previously paid to Catalyst’s licensor..."
A royalty is a payment made to the owner of a resource or asset—such as a patent, mineral rights, or creative work—whenever others use or profit from it. For investors, royalties provide a steady stream of income without owning the entire asset, similar to earning a small commission each time a product is sold or a service is used. This makes royalties an important factor in valuing certain types of investments.
FDA approval regulatory
"due to seven years passing from the date of the FDA approval of FIRDAPSE..."
FDA approval is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s formal authorization for a drug, vaccine, or medical device to be marketed and sold after reviewers determine it meets standards for safety and effectiveness. For investors it’s a pivotal milestone because it opens the door to legal, large-scale sales and can sharply boost revenue potential while reducing regulatory uncertainty—like receiving a safety certificate that lets a new bridge carry traffic and tolls.

  • Full year 2025 total revenues were $589.0 million, a 19.8% YoY increase
  • FIRDAPSE full year 2025 product revenue, net was $358.4 million, a 17.1% YoY increase

  • FYCOMPA full year product revenue, net was $113.3 million

2025 Business Highlights:

  • The Company experienced another successful year in 2025 with record revenues and record earnings, driven by organic growth of its flagship product, FIRDAPSE, and the first full year of AGAMREE sales.
  • Announced updated guidelines for Small Cell Lung Cancer (“SCLC”) treatment published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN) including VGCC antibody screening of SCLC patients for cancer-associated Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and use of amifampridine (FIRDAPSE) as a supportive care treatment for SCLC patients also diagnosed with LEMS, helping to broaden clinical awareness, enhance diagnostic rates, and drive treatment of cancer-associated LEMS in SCLC oncology care.
  • Settled FIRDAPSE patent litigation with Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively Teva) and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., leaving only one patent case pending against Hetero USA, Inc. The trial is currently scheduled to start on March 23, 2026, which is prior to the expiration of the automatic 30-month stay (which expires on May 26, 2026).

However, no such agreements were entered into in 2025.

Research and development expenses: In the fourth quarter of 2025, research and development expenses were $1.8 million, compared to $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.  Research and development expenses for full year 2025 were $12.7 million, compared to $12.6 million for full year 2024.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $53.4 million, compared to $44.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for full year 2025 were $193.8 million, compared to $177.7 million for full year 2024.

Amortization of intangible assets: Amortization of intangible assets was $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Amortization of intangible assets was $37.5 million in full year 2025, compared to $37.4 million for full year 2024.

Operating income: Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $61.8 million, compared to $62.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of approximately 1.6%. Full year 2025 operating income was $257.8 million, compared to $195.1 million for full year 2024, representing an increase of approximately 32.1%. Operating income, GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income were all impacted by the entry of multiple generic versions of FYCOMPA during the fourth quarter of 2025.

GAAP net income: GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $52.7 million ($0.43 per basic and $0.41 per diluted share), compared to GAAP net income of $55.9 million ($0.47 per basic and $0.44 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2024. GAAP net income for full year 2025 was $214.3 million ($1.75 per basic and $1.68 per diluted share), compared to full year 2024 GAAP net income of $163.9 million ($1.38 per basic and $1.31 per diluted share).

Non-GAAP net income: Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $87.1 million ($ 0.71 per basic and $0.68 per diluted share), compared to non-GAAP net income of $88.8 million ($0.74 per basic and $0.70 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP net income for full year 2025 was $346.2 million ($2.83 per basic and $2.72 per diluted share), compared to full year 2024 non-GAAP net income of $276.3 million ($2.33 per basic and $2.21 per diluted share). Non-GAAP net income in all periods excludes from net income stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and the income tax provision.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents were $709.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2025, was impacted by a change in the payment terms resulting from the renegotiation of a contract between the Company and a customer. Under the revisions to the contract with this customer, among other changes, the Company is now paying reduced fees to the customer (which are recorded as a reduction in gross-to-net expenses), but the customer is paying amounts due on its obligations to Catalyst on a monthly basis rather than a semi-monthly basis (as required under the previous contract terms). As a result of this change, a payment of approximately $27.0 million that the Company would have received at the end of December 2025, based upon the previous due date (under the previous contract terms) was received in early January 2026. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the amount invested in the Company’s shares through the announced $200 million share repurchase program was approximately $25.3 million at an average price per share of $22.49, resulting in a reduction of 1,124,948 million shares outstanding.

More detailed financial information and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2026.

Full Year 2026 Outlook

For full year 2026, the Company forecasts total revenues to be between $615 million and $645 million, reflecting continued robust growth in product revenue, net from both FIRDAPSE and AGAMREE.

FIRDAPSE’s product revenue, net for fiscal 2026 is expected to be between $435 million and $450 million, growth of between 21.4% and 25.6% compared to 2025, driven by our life-cycle management initiatives in Idiopathic and Cancer-Associated LEMS.

AGAMREE’s product revenue, net for 2026 is expected to be between $140 million and $150 million, growth of between 19.6% and 28.1% compared to 2025, reflecting the product’s continued market adoption and commercial momentum.

FYCOMPA’s product revenue, net for 2026 is expected to be between $40 million and $45 million, driven by ongoing market demand despite the loss of patent exclusivity at the end of May 2025, for FYCOMPA tablets, which currently has three generic competitors, and December 2025 for FYCOMPA oral suspension, which currently has one generic competitor.

Cost of sales: On January 25, 2026, the Company completed seven years from the date of first commercial sale of FIRDAPSE in the U.S. On that date, the royalty on net U.S. sales that the Company previously paid to Catalyst’s licensor at a tiered rate of 7-10% of net U.S. sales of FIRDAPSE expired. Also, on January 1, 2026, as part of the Company's acquisition and license agreement regarding RUZURGI® (amifampridine) with Jacobus, the royalty rate the Company pays Jacobus on net U.S. sales of any amifampridine product increased from 1.5% to 2.5%. In addition to these two changes, there was also another change in FIRDAPSE royalties owed by the Company on net U.S. sales that occurred in November 2025. On November 28, 2025, due to seven years passing from the date of the FDA approval of FIRDAPSE, the royalty on net U.S. sales of FIRDAPSE that the Company owes to its licensor to satisfy its licensor’s royalty obligations to another third-party licensor decreased from 7% of net U.S. sales to 3.5%. As a result, beginning on January 26, 2026, the overall royalty rate that the Company will pay to its upstream licensors for net U.S. sales of FIRDAPSE will be 6%, which is down from a previous maximum rate of 18.5%.   

AGAMREE royalties are expected to remain relatively flat as a percentage of product revenue, net and there will be a full year of the sales-based milestone payment based on the achievement of the milestone in the fourth quarter of 2025. Further, the Company will be required to pay a 6% royalty, based on net product revenue, to the product licensor for FYCOMPA starting in July 2026.

Research and development expenses: Due to the ongoing activities relating to the SUMMIT study as well as life cycle management evaluation for AGAMREE, the Company anticipates research and development expenses in 2026, absent another acquisition, to be between $17.5 million and $22.5 million. If the Company completes an acquisition, its R&D expenses may become more significant, particularly if it acquires rights to a product prior to that product receiving regulatory approval.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses: The Company anticipates an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2026 compared to 2025, primarily driven by increased commercial activities to continue to support FIRDAPSE and AGAMREE as well as continued support of its business development strategy, which has been expanded for 2026 to include development opportunities with established proof of concept and a clear regulatory path.

Tax rate: The Company anticipates that its effective tax rate will be relatively consistent for 2026 compared to 2025 and 2024.
