Recent Company Highlights
Theratechnologies Receives FDA Approval for EGRIFTA WR™ (Tesamorelin F8) to Treat Excess Visceral Abdominal Fat in Adults with HIV and Lipodystrophy
On March 25, 2025, the Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Company’s supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the F8 formulation of tesamorelin for injection. The Company will commercialize the new formulation under the tradename EGRIFTA WR™.
Tesamorelin for injection is the only medication approved in the U.S. for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV who have lipodystrophy. The new formulation, EGRIFTA WR™, is a daily injectable but only needs weekly reconstitution. It requires less than half the administration volume as the current F4 formulation, sold in the U.S. as EGRIFTA SV®, which is reconstituted daily.
EGRIFTA WR™ will be supplied as four single-patient-use vials, each containing 11.6 mg of tesamorelin, sufficient for seven doses. The daily dose is 1.28 mg (0.16 mL of the reconstituted solution) injected subcutaneously. The product can be stored at room temperature (20° to 25° C [68° to 77° F]) before and after reconstitution.
Remediation to Temporary Supply Disruption for EGRIFTA SV®
On January 9, 2025, the Company announced a temporary supply disruption for EGRIFTA SV® caused by an unexpected voluntary shutdown of the Company’s contract manufacturer’s facility in 2024 following an inspection by the FDA. The manufacturer has resumed manufacturing of EGRIFTA SV® in November 2024. In order to resume distribution of EGRIFTA SV®, the Company was required to file a PAS with the FDA describing the changes made by its manufacturer. The Company filed the PAS and the PDUFA goal date has been set to April 18, 2025.
Upon resuming distribution of EGRIFTA SV® to its distributor on February 14, 2025, the Company received large orders until the end of its first quarter to rebuild inventories at both McKesson and in our specialty pharmacy network, with some pharmacies ordering larger than usual quantities. This will result in a longer drawdown than usual, and should have an impact on Q2 revenues while pharmacy inventories revert to normal levels. Considering that patients were off treatment for 6 to 7 weeks, we estimate that the drug shortage will have a one-time impact of
Approval of Prior Approval Supplement for EGRIFTA SV® sBLA by the FDA
On April 7, 2025, the Company announced the FDA approved the Company’s PAS for EGRIFTA SV®. Approval of the PAS removes any regulatory requirement for discretionary product release, thereby allowing Theratechnologies to resume regular distribution of EGRIFTA SV®.
Theratechnologies CROI Presentation Highlights Limitations of Using BMI to Assess Cardiovascular (CV) Risk in People with HIV
On March 12, 2025, the Company announced that it presented data highlighting the limitations of using body mass index (BMI) alone in assessing cardiovascular (CV) risk in people with HIV (PWH). The study underscores the need to incorporate screening for excess visceral abdominal fat (EVAF) to better identify PWH at risk of CV disease.
Theratechnologies Presents Encouraging Virologic Suppression Data from the PROMISE-US Trial of Ibalizumab at CROI
On March 12, 2025, the Company announced that it presented data from a real-world, observational, registry study demonstrating the efficacy and safety of ibalizumab in reducing HIV RNA to undetectable levels in heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) patients with multidrug resistant HIV.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and future operations
As part of the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements, management is responsible for identifying any event or situation that may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of the issuance date of these interim financial statements, the Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of February 28, 2025, together with cash generated from its existing operations will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and debt obligations requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these interim financial statements. Considering the recent actions of the Company, material uncertainty that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was alleviated effective from these first quarter interim financial statements.
For the three-month period ended February 28, 2025, the Company generated a net profit of
On January 9, 2025, the Company announced a temporary supply disruption for EGRIFTA SV® caused by an unexpected voluntary shutdown of the Company’s contract manufacturer’s facility in the third quarter of 2024 following an inspection by the US Food and Drug Administration. The manufacturer has resumed manufacturing of EGRIFTA SV®, in November 2024. In order to resume distribution of EGRIFTA SV®, the Company was required to file a PAS with the FDA describing the changes made by its manufacturer. The Company filed the PAS on December 18, 2024.
On February 13, 2025, the FDA, via its Drug Shortage Staff (DSS), indicated that it would allow the Company to sell and distribute newly manufactured batches of EGRIFTA SV® while the review of the PAS is ongoing, thereby allowing the Company to sell two manufactured batches of EGRIFTA SV®, representing up to six months of patient supply. Distribution of the product has resumed on February 14, 2025. The Company has already manufactured two additional batches, and a new batch is currently scheduled for production in July 2025.
On March 25, 2025, the FDA has approved the Company’s supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the F8 formulation of tesamorelin for injection. The Company will commercialize the new formulation under the tradename EGRIFTA WR™. The Company plans to launch EGRIFTA WR™ in the third quarter of 2025.
On April 7, 2025, the FDA approved the PAS, allowing the Company to continue releasing EGRIFTA SV® to the market without further authorization from the FDA.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from February 28, 2025 involves significant judgement and is dependent on continued generation of revenues including a timely transition from EGRIFTA SV® to EGRIFTA WR™ in order to be able to meet the Adjusted EBITDA covenants
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the Company will continue its operations in the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Non-IFRS and Non-US GAAP
The information presented in this press release includes a measure that is not determined in accordance with IFRS or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), being the term “Adjusted EBITDA”. “Adjusted EBITDA” is used by the Company as an indicator of financial performance and is obtained by adding to net profit or loss, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on intangible assets (new adjustment in fiscal 2024), income taxes, share-based compensation from stock options, certain restructuring costs and certain write-downs (or related reversals) of inventories. “Adjusted EBITDA” excludes the effects of items that primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions rather than the results of day-to-day operations. The Company believes that this measure can be a useful indicator of its operational performance from one period to another. The Company uses this non-IFRS measure to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. “Adjusted EBITDA” is not a standardized financial measure under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements of the Company to which the measure relates and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. A quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is presented above under the table titled “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA”.
