Thanks, Tim. Good afternoon, everybody. With the current US approval of YORVIPATH as the primary and the one FDA accepted therapy of hypoparathyroidism in adults, Ascendis has efficiently obtained approval for 2 out of three endocrinology uncommon illness product candidates in two main markets, the US and EU. And with pivotal knowledge from our third product candidate TransCon CNP in achondroplasia anticipated within the coming weeks, we’re nearing our imaginative and prescient to attain approval of all three product candidates by the tip of 2025.

Our algorithm for product innovation, mixed with our TransCon know-how have enabled us to convey new highly-differentiated product candidates by means of the scientific growth of [indiscernible] and with a better success price in comparison with conventional drug growth. We try and proceed to develop new product candidates in endocrine uncommon illness. And bigger therapeutic areas similar to oncology, weight problems, metabolic illness and cardiovascular with best-in-class potential to make a significant distinction for sufferers throughout the globe based mostly on our robust scientific focus.

Allow us to start with YORVIPATH. Within the US alone, an estimated 70,000 to 90,000 sufferers live with hypoparathyroidism. For many who have not seen it, please take time to observe the affected person organized FDA listening to on the hypoparathyroidism related web site, offering an in-depth understanding of the intense consequence of getting this illness. With the FDA approval of YORVIPATH, doctor and grownup sufferers in United States can now look ahead to having a therapy possibility for therapy of hypoparathyroidism. We’re getting ready for YORVIPATH’s lungs within the US, levering our established business infrastructure and experience.

We’re increasing our devoted group of gross sales reps and discipline medical personnel who will have interaction with round 6,000 physicians who deal with 80,000 — 80% of sufferers with hypoparathyroidism within the US. Different key launch initiatives are underway, together with the rollout of our affected person help applications designed to help entry to YORVIPATH. For instance, [eligible] (ph) affected person on business insurance coverage pays as little as $5 a month for the YORVIPATH prescription. As well as, following our objective to deal with all sufferers with this illness, we can even introduce a affected person help program. Now we have additionally began partaking US payers [indiscernible]. We count on product availability within the US within the first quarter of 2025 or sooner if it is doable. According to premium accountable pricing, we’ll launch with a greatest worth similar to 285,000 annual per affected person, reflecting the worth of YORVIPATH to the US healthcare system.

Within the US, there are round 140 sufferers at present lively within the expanded HHS program and about 50 extra sufferers within the open-label extension of our scientific research. Doctor will start transferring these sufferers over to business product as quickly as is on the market.

In Europe, the variety of affected person and prescribing physicians indicating YORVIPATH continues to extend, and we see an excellent mixture of [PK’s](ph) skilled and new menu sufferers. This was the primary full quarter of economic launch in Germany and Austria, the place gross sales momentum continues to construct. We now have greater than 250 sufferers on therapy and an estimated 125 prescribers in these two markets. YORVIPATH affected person with change in price is extraordinarily robust and at present round 98%.

As physicians achieve extra expertise at YORVIPATH, we count on them to convey extra sufferers on remedy, together with these ending the remaining provides of [indiscernible]. The curiosity for serving sufferers beneath identify affected person applications previous to full business launch is rising. We now have sufferers in these applications in additional than 10 international locations and count on extra by the tip of the yr.

Transferring to SKYTROFA, we’re proud to have greater than 11,000 sufferers prescribed SKYTROFA within the first three years since launch and to have achieved market worth management whereas increasing the general development hormone market. Key part of our technique to make SKYTROFA a blockbuster product within the US embrace simplifying broaden market entry for each therapy naive or swap sufferers in addition to increasing our label.

Within the first half of the yr, the reset to broader market entry for SKYTROFA was largely accomplished. Whereas this broader entry to SKYTROFA will help long-term demand, within the quick time period, it negatively impacted our first half web income. Scott will share extra particulars. With our market entry transition largely accomplished, SKYTROFA is now positioned as a premium product with a web worth per affected person of round 3 occasions in comparison with day by day development hormone. We at the moment are centered on utilizing our new market entry protection to drive additional demand, proceed to increase the general development hormone market and are aiming to achieve blockbuster knowledge for SKYTROFA within the US alone.

Lastly, to construct on our market management place, we plan to submit and complement BLA in grownup development hormone deficiency to the FDA within the third quarter of this yr, our first SKYTROFA label enlargement. We additionally count on prime line knowledge from our Section 2 trial in Turner syndrome within the fourth quarter of 2024. Switching to TransCon CNP. I’ve all the time been extraordinarily enthusiastic about our program in achondroplasia, and way more now as we’re approaching the consequence from our pivotal trial within the coming weeks. Now we have persistently in our messaging over the previous eight years since we introduced our product candidate that our goal is to develop a therapy that handle each linear development and the comorbidities that have an effect on well being and high quality of life for folks dwelling with achondroplasia.

Earlier this yr, you noticed a complete consequence for our Section 2 ACcomplisH trial, demonstrating that our once-weekly TransCon CNP elevated annualized development velocity just like [indiscernible] about 5.6 centimeter after 12 months of therapy. As well as, for first time [indiscernible] product within the setting of achondroplasia, we additionally demonstrated that in comparison with placebo, TransCon CNP improved high quality of life related to the bodily operate of wellbeing in kids with achondroplasia with a good facet impact and tolerability profile.

Now, we hope that we will replicate these outcomes with extra sufferers in our pivotal ApproaCH trial, and we expect prime line knowledge within the subsequent few weeks, one quarter sooner than guided. This trial enrolled 84 kids aged two to 11 with achondroplasia. The imply age was 5.7 years, just like our Section 2 trial. We additionally continued to enrolling a Section 2 trial of TransCon CNP together with TransCon development hormone SKYTROFA designed to indicate that including SKYTROFA to TransCon CNP might present cash-up development for sufferers who begin CNP therapy late. We count on to finish enrollment on this mixture trial through the first — fourth quarter of 2024 with prime line 2026 knowledge anticipated within the second quarter of 2025.

Turning now to oncology. We proceed advancing three Section 2 trials with a number of indication-specific cohort to check the best-in-class potential of our two product candidates, TransCon IL-2 beta/gamma and TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist in several mixture eventualities. We plan to current preliminary outcomes from our TransCon IL-2 beta/gamma together with chemotherapy in platinum-resistant ovarian most cancers from the — I imagine trial later this month on the ESMO convention in Barcelona. I am happy how these applications are progressing.

In closing, for Ascendis, it is all in regards to the sufferers. Sufferers inform us the US approval of YORVIPATH is transformative for them. We hear from dad and mom that SKYTROVA has modified the life for kids and oldsters, each. With knowledge anticipated within the subsequent weeks for TransCon CNP, it’s our objective that we’re capable of present that we can also remodel the life of individuals dwelling in achondroplasia. With our ongoing progress in our oncology program and exploration of different areas of innovation in giant market alternatives similar to weight problems, we proceed to precision Ascendis for sustainable development with an expanded pipeline and transformal — transformative Transcon product candidate.

I am going to now flip it over to Scott for an monetary replace.

SKYTROFA quantity greater than doubled within the second quarter of 2024 in comparison with the second quarter final yr, whereas reported income was EUR26.2 million in comparison with EUR35.9 million reported within the second quarter of 2023, a lower of 27% year-over-year. A rise in SKYTROFA quantity was offset by greater gross sales deductions for Q2 and an adjustment to Q1 2024 gross sales deduction accruals in addition to for durations in 2023. These changes replicate the reset of broader market entry to help continued development of SKYTROFA because the market worth chief and a possible blockbuster within the US alone.

In complete, Q2 2024 reported income was decreased by a true-up of EUR27.1 million, of which EUR19.5 million was attributable to the primary quarter 2024 gross sales and EUR7.6 million to gross sales previous to January 1, 2024.

First half 2024 SKYTROFA quantity greater than doubled, however was partially offset by an accrual true-up of EUR7.6 million, which was attributable to durations previous to January 1, 2024.

With the appearance of broader market entry, we imagine the general development hormone market will proceed to develop the variety of sufferers handled. We estimate that by the tip of Q2 2024, SKYTROFA penetration within the US pediatric development hormone deficiency handled affected person inhabitants was 18% or somewhat beneath 10% of the general handled development hormone market, nonetheless with our single indication for pediatric GHD, leaving a lot of room for additional development in market enlargement. Based mostly on year-to-date outcomes and present developments, we now count on full yr 2024 SKYTROFA income to be within the vary of EUR220 million to EUR240 million.

Shifting to TransCon PTH, second quarter YORVIPATH income of EUR5.2 million mirrored the primary full quarter of economic income in Germany and Austria in addition to preliminary income in different markets with YORVIPATH income persevering with to extend from the EUR1.5 million in Q1, pushed by rising affected person and doctor demand. Closing out the highest line, complete income for the second quarter was EUR36 million, together with EUR4.6 million tied to rendering of companies and license income.

Turning to bills, R&D prices within the second quarter of 2024 totaled 38 — sorry, EUR83.5 million in comparison with EUR105 million through the second quarter of 2023. The 21% decline was largely tied to decrease exterior growth prices for TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist and decrease prices for TransCon PTH in addition to Eyconis spin-off. SG&A bills within the quarter totaled EUR74.3 million in comparison with EUR70.3 million through the second quarter of 2023. The rise was primarily because of greater worker prices, together with the impression from international business enlargement. Complete working bills had been EUR157.8 million for the second quarter, a ten% lower in comparison with the EUR175.3 million through the second quarter of 2023. Complete working bills for the primary half of 2024 had been EUR295 million.

Internet finance revenue within the quarter was EUR29.4 million in comparison with EUR26.4 million within the second quarter of final yr. As a reminder, the web finance line can fluctuate quarter-to-quarter, pushed partially by non-cash gadgets associated to our excellent convertible notes.

We ended the second quarter with money, money equivalents and marketable securities totaling EUR259 million in comparison with EUR399 million as of December 31, 2023. Lastly, earlier immediately and subsequent to June 30, 2024, subsequently, not included within the reported money steadiness, we introduced that we now have entered into a brand new capped artificial royalty funding settlement with Royalty Pharma for $150 million in change for a 3% royalty on web gross sales of YORVIPATH inside america. The royalty funds are capped at 1.65 occasions the acquisition worth, if totally paid previous to December 31, 2029, or two occasions thereafter. Additional particulars are disclosed in a separate 6-Okay, additionally filed immediately.

Trying forward for the full-year 2024, based mostly on present plans, we count on SKYTROFA income to be within the vary of EUR220 million to EUR240 million. Complete working bills, which embrace SG&A and R&D, to be roughly EUR600 million, together with YORVIPATH-related launch actions within the US. And pending launch timing of YORVIPATH within the US, we at present count on to attain working money stream breakeven on a quarterly foundation in 2024 or 2025.

Earlier than we flip it over to the operator for Q&A, I wish to reiterate with database lock and the top-line outcomes for our pivotal method trial anticipated within the coming weeks, we plan to institute a quiet interval beginning Thursday and sadly, we won’t be able to take part in upcoming investor conferences.

With that, operator, we at the moment are able to take questions.

Query-and-Reply Session

Operator

Thanks. [Operator Instructions] Our first query comes from the road of Jessica Fye with JPMorgan. Your line is open.

Jessica Fye

Hey, guys. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my query. I wish to higher perceive the way you challenge getting SKYTROFA to a blockbuster within the US alone based mostly on the form of reset of web worth and what you mentioned about the place you’re by way of penetration in GHD and the broader handled development hormone market. Are you able to stroll by means of that somewhat bit? Thanks.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

Thanks, Jess. I’ll begin and I’ve my two business colleagues with me right here immediately. And so, that may additionally a way offer you extra particulars if that’s desired. At present, we see the market is about $1.4 billion, your complete development market within the US. And as I acknowledged in my ready remarks, once we look on a web worth per affected person, we fundamental with SKYTROFA have about thrice the web worth on a yearly therapy. Once we see our effort, once we look about once we are growing the long-acting section, we see SKYTROFA as actually the popular model. Even in locations the place we simply are in the identical stage of market entry, clearly, clearly, clearly, SKYTROFA is the popular product. Even in locations the place we do not have market entry, we actually see SKYTROFA coming in as a result of it is actually up avoiding a novel enchancment in comparison with the merchandise’ potential.

So once we see our label enlargement effort, we fundamental within the coming yr, might be doable for us not solely to handle the pediatric development hormone deficiency market. We — on this subsequent weeks, we’re submitting for grownup development hormone deficiency. Now we have Turner knowledge coming in for Section 2 later this yr, we’ll provoke trials very quick and we will do it in a basket method, so we fundamental can get to the complete cohort for all of the totally different development hormone indications. That offers you the high-level how we see we will develop SKYTROFA to a blockbuster within the US. And with the reset of what we name the market entry, we’ll can maintain that worth as we now have immediately and increase from there. I have no idea, Joe or Camilla, you’ve additional feedback or you’ve and wish to get extra in-depth information about particular feedback from my facet. Thanks.

Operator

Thanks. [Operator Instructions] Our subsequent query comes from the road of Tazeen Ahmad with Financial institution of America Securities. Your line is open.

Tazeen Ahmad

Hello, guys. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my query. As regards to this new web worth that you’ve got for SKYTROFA, are you able to speak to us in regards to the aggressive dynamics? Specifically, are the day by day injector producers providing deeper reductions? And may you additionally speak in regards to the stage of impression that you simply’re seeing from the current — comparatively current launch of the Novo competing product? Thanks.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

Thanks for the query. I believe it is of their line with among the similar query that acquired requested as the primary query. Sure, immediately, there may be two different long-acting product within the US market. We principally see one in all them in Geneza [ph] (ph) due to the plain impact everybody can observe simply going to the databases that describe tolerability and different issues like that, we see, we’re all the time doing extraordinarily effectively to — basically, we see the identical factor with SKYTROFA. SKYTROFA have and most popular place on among the large and we now have different locations.

However what I am usually seeing is there isn’t any doubt we all the time mentioned that SKYTROFA had a best-in-class potential, however what we additionally see out there that’s actually realizing because the best-in-class product alternative. And that’s the energy we wish to proceed to construct on, not solely in pediatric development hormone deficiency, but additionally in all of the totally different label enlargement once we coming into first-generation once we additionally get them. So for instance, you must also look on what occurring with, for instance, the biggest quantity provider of development hormone within the second quarter that principally have a income down on 73%. So clearly, there was an reset of your complete market that doubtlessly come somewhat bit extra sudden to many people that it was so quick tailored right into a system.

Operator

Thanks. [Operator Instructions] Thanks. Our subsequent query comes from the road of Derek Archila with Wells Fargo. Your line is open.

Derek Archila

Hello, there. Thanks for taking the questions. Simply wished to know what payer suggestions you might need acquired to this point on the proposed YORVIPATH pricing within the US? After which I’ve a follow-up.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

We’re developing with a accountable pricing. We’re coming with a pricing the place we principally can help the assertion we wish to go each affected person which have hypoparathyroidism, we goal to help that may be handled. In that complete mathematic algorithm to attain that, we got here to this accountable pricing on again and we now have not acquired any suggestions in opposition to that. That’s not completely acceptable.

Derek Archila

Obtained it. Very useful. After which second query, simply by way of the sufferers that you have talked about on YORVIPATH in Germany and Austria, I believe you commented about 250 sufferers on the approval name for the US. I assume, how do you concentrate on that penetration relative to the general market measurement in Germany? And the way do you imagine you are monitoring to this point within the launch? Is it forward of the place you anticipated or lower than you anticipated? Thanks.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I can include some preliminary feedback, and you will get some additional feedback from Camilla. Our preliminary goal and the way we take a look at how we anticipated the penetration profile can be that we’ll see typical one to 2 affected person per doctor at first, there was what we anticipated to see. Earlier than every single doctor actually see the good thing about actually what YORVIPATH may give to the sufferers, after they observe that, we count on later on this yr that every affected person or every doctor will begin to prescribe an increasing number of sufferers from the variety of sufferers every of them. So once we look on the variety of physicians that have already got prescribed in Germany and Austria, round 125 prescriber have actually prescribed it. We’re extraordinarily proud about this penetration by means of physicians. However I believe what does actually are probably the most spectacular factor for me in these [indiscernible] is fundamental retention.

When you concentrate on rehab and retention, once you begin to take affected person in and actually take a look at them, are they actually offering a profit for the affected person after which they’ve a retention of 98%. I’ve by no means seen that for any product earlier than. That’s actually, actually distinctive. But it surely’s actually described the profit that’s actually are giving to the affected person and the keep on the therapy precisely as we now have noticed in our scientific trials. I have no idea, Camilla, you’ve additional feedback to the [indiscernible] in particular in Germany and Austria?

Camilla More durable Hartvig

Jan, I believe you mentioned it very, very effectively. We’re very happy with the uptake of the YORVIPATH in Germany. We’re benchmarking all of the uncommon illness launches and we’re doing very effectively in comparison with them. And so, the group is working laborious on each breadth and depth and that is working effectively and likewise creating the combination between the PTH naive sufferers and those which were on web energy and the swap that we’re making from that path to YORVIPATH goes very, very quick. So all in all, we’re very happy with the way it’s going and the place it’ll go sooner or later.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

Sure. What we now have seen in several European international locations that YORVIPATH fundamental due to its cease of producing, there’s a tendency to maintain the affected person on that path till all of the, you possibly can say, amassed drug are being utilized within the particular areas. And we additionally see now that it is beginning to change quite a bit the place we see a lot, way more small we see a lot taking on from web we see a lot sufferers coming in now. However one factor, we now have now been launched in Germany and Austria. In our Europe direct technique, we go to France after which right here, hopeful on this yr after which in 2025, we could have the subsequent six, seven, eight European international locations being added in. Actually are rolling out in the best way we generate income from this area in a a lot sooner velocity.

Operator

Thanks. [Operator Instructions] Our subsequent query comes from the road of Li Watsek with Cantor. Your line is open.

Li Watsek

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Possibly only a follow-up on SKYTROFA. Possibly assist us perceive what went into the assumptions for the decrease steerage for SKYTROFA this yr. I am simply on the lookout for extra particulars on what’s driving that EUR100 million discount. Possibly speak somewhat bit in regards to the dynamics between broader market entry and pricing? And I’ve a follow-up.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I can include some total assertion first associated to how we did the forecasting as a result of what we fundamental did that we noticed a development in quantity between Q1 and Q2. And if we make the most of that development principally to foretell remainder of the yr and it principally giving the decrease worth. And after we now have reset our market entry portfolio, we’re able that we count on that the GTN might be protecting continuously all year long. What we now have noticed, like final yr, we noticed a final seasonal impact between the primary half in comparison with the second half. We nonetheless see that as an upside which potential will materialize, however we additionally know that it couldn’t materialize. So that is how we now have principally taken the steerage ahead in that. And that isn’t something believing in that we doubtlessly can speed up development. We see the potential, we see the best-in-class potential on it.

Joe, that’s answerable for our US, you too can give a brief abstract about all of the impact that is getting carried out now that first will present impact within the second half of this yr.

Joe Kelly

So the healthcare suppliers proper now have excessive readability about the place they’ll present SKYTROFA to sufferers with a excessive probability of reimbursement, but additionally the place SKYTROFA isn’t on formulary, healthcare suppliers are documenting intolerance of development under the common per rental top whereas on different development hormones, subsequently permitting a resubmission, in order that pediatric development hormone poor sufferers can have entry to SKYTROFA. So, there’s time left on this yr. Clearly, issues will stabilize in 2025. So we all know now the place we will proceed so as to add sufferers and develop our web income and increase and develop the worth of your complete development hormone market.

Li Watsek

Okay. And I additionally marvel should you can speak somewhat bit about the place you possibly can additional cut back from a value perspective? And is there any probability you possibly can nonetheless breakeven this yr, given the decrease schedule for steerage?

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

Scott is absolutely good at numbers. So I’ll someway offer you an all perspective after which Scott can go extra again to among the means we’re it immediately. One of many issues we’re proud about is that we actually maintain our working bills in management and we actually see that we actually have an excellent inner system to maintain Ascendis Pharma to be a extremely efficient group. We additionally see that there’s income, particular Europe has totally different areas are actually beginning to absorb now. So doubtlessly, we now have a YORVIPATH exterior US.

We’re nonetheless in a state of affairs the place we’re nonetheless discussing with FDA associated to how we will actually assist a affected person that’s in scarcity of a therapy right here within the US. We hope we may help them. We’ll do every part to assist them. It — which means that we’ll have a a lot sooner launch that we really are taking into our plans. We hear the voice from the sufferers, we hear the voice from the physicians. We’ll do every part, so we will have an earlier launch. And as quickly as we get readability about that, we’ll come again to you. So, we now have a number of potential upside. Now we have a number of other ways the place we’re trying about how we will strengthen our income, how we principally nonetheless protecting our bills in management, and that is how we’re working.

Scott, any feedback?

Scott Smith

I believe you mentioned it effectively, Jan. Li, as you realize, we all the time look to be price efficient in what we do as an organization and we consider bills that are not tied to getting the product to affected person as quickly as doable. However on the similar time, after all, we do not wish to sacrifice doing that and getting the product. In order that’s a part of the explanation we introduced the brand new financing immediately after the shut for the extra $150 million. However we proceed to have nice scrutiny on prices, significantly the place they are not resulting in getting our merchandise to sufferers.

Li Watsek

Thanks.

Operator

Thanks. Please standby for our subsequent query. Our subsequent query comes from the road of Gavin Clark-Gartner with Evercore ISI. Your line is open.

Gavin Clark-Gartner

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. First, I simply wished to ask for SKYTROFA, when did these insurance policies with extra favorable entry go into place? And when ought to we count on a pickup in prescriptions?

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I believe it was gradual through the first half yr. So a few of them are first ticking in — right here in Q2. The complexity of those agreements are very advanced on this means that potential rebate in comparison with quantity enhance are a way not likely aligned and there was among the challenge we bumped into that the rebate principally acquired established a lot sooner than actually we will begin to develop the amount. So from a modeling perspective, we see a double-digit quantity in enhance in quantity between Q1 and Q2, however we actually will count on first, all the hassle that we now have put in, as Joe informed earlier than, is first ticking in, within the second half, okay. So I’ll first see the anticipated development coming in, within the second half.

Gavin Clark-Gartner

Okay. That is smart. And simply wished to ask on IQVIA knowledge total. Have you ever guys seen any adjustments in seize price developments over time?

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I believe the problem I personally have with the info is that it is a sampling of few locations. And should you someplace maintain every part secure, you should use it as an total pattern. If there’s a shift between totally different PBMs, between totally different market entry, you usually will see some distinction in quantity that actually are completely unpredictable from the attitude on the sampling between the totally different PPMs are totally different. So out from that, I believe you need to pay it. In the event you give all of them the cash for the utilization of those knowledge, no less than I am not paying for it. I get it at no cost as a result of I confirmed so many occasions they had been completely not helpful to have. However nonetheless purchase it if you’d like.

Gavin Clark-Gartner

Okay. Thanks.

Operator

Thanks. Please standby for our subsequent query. Our subsequent query comes from the road of Vikram Purohit with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Vikram Purohit

Hello, good afternoon. Thanks for taking our questions.

Simply which parameters of knowledge you count on to report out and the way you’ll at present information folks to match and distinction the datasets versus competitor CNP datasets accessible on this house? Thanks.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I believe probably the most best method to evaluate something is to undergo vosoritide as a result of that is two, you possibly can say mode of motion that could be very most aligned between them, even when there’s a distinction in how we operate as a result of we now have a steady publicity of CNP molecule the place from the vosoritide, it principally is barely have an lively cohorts for 2 or three hours in each 24 hours dosing cycle.

So once we look on our goal, as we now have mentioned within the final eight years, we wish each to supply linear development, but additionally present and handle the comorbidity of the illness. And what we now have seen till now and now I am referring into Section 2 as a result of that is the info I can discuss immediately is that we now have seen and analyzed top velocity precisely on the similar stage of vosoritide with a once-weekly dosing profile. However we now have seen the advance in most of the means that the youngsters, the doctor, the caregivers speak in regards to the profit to the affected person.

And out from that perspective, we additionally could not present once we evaluate our Section 2 knowledge on to placebo and enchancment in high quality of life associated to bodily operate. And because of this we principally are taking into our trial totally different measuring on key secondary endpoint that principally hope for us that it may give an impact that actually reveals how we handle the comorbidity, which have by no means, by no means been proven by every other product. And once we go to the biochemical course of, the science behind it, which we all the time love, then we principally can include nice reason why you’ll want to have a steady publicity of CNP fundamental to handle among the comorbidities. So it offer you the place we began from. I must see the info that coming within the subsequent week. So it is fairly, fairly, fairly close to. So the database has been locked. Individuals are working the stat now. In order quickly they’re completed, I might be taken right into a room and see the info.

Now we have an especially constructive dialogue with FDA associated to how potential to handle the scarcity of PTH drops within the US. It is being pushed by sufferers that fundamental are seeing the massive unmet medical want, the state of affairs the place sufferers have been lacking that energy for a very long time and very critical consequence of sufferers that now immediately are on that par and all of a sudden have to be disrupted of the therapy as a result of that half won’t be accessible longer. Out from that, each affected person group, doctor and us and FDA acknowledge this challenge.

Nicely, thanks for taking my query. I acquired two right here. First, on the SKYTROFA changes, simply to verify I acquired this proper that you simply got here to an settlement on new web pricing with the payers and as a part of it, you needed to true-up on prior gross sales within the final couple of quarters. After which I am going to have yet another after that.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I believe you’ve understood it right. This can be a true-up that’s fundamental reflecting web income from primarily web income for Q1, however about 7.6 million additionally from 2023. That’s the true-up that’s being taken away from Q2 income. So principally, if you wish to calculate actual gross sales in Q2, you’ll want to add all this true-up to the web income from Q2. That’s reported right here.

Scott, any feedback? Or did I get it proper?

Scott Smith

You bought it proper, Jan. Good.

David Lebowitz

Obtained it. And on CNP, what’s — what has occurred to truly primarily speed up the pivotal knowledge timeline from prior updates?

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I’ve to say how briskly physicians, the setup of our scientific operation has been operate on this case have introduced the info to come back in a lot, a lot sooner than we ever thought. I imagine there may be such a dedication that I solely can evaluate to what we now have seen for each PTH and SKYTROFA to get this product out as quick as doable. We’re additionally seeing the identical form of extraordinarily, extraordinarily excessive retention on this yr too. So I believe all the time after I see this knowledge, after I see this constructive factor coming in, I believe folks have one dedication to get it out to the sufferers as quick as doable.

Hey, nice. Thanks for taking my query.

Thanks.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

I might assume that they’ve all the info to take this determination and I do not imagine any knowledge have to be dropped at them, no less than the request we now have on isn’t actually on something of the info.

Hello, thanks. Good afternoon, and thanks for taking our query. On — to revisit SKYTROFA, are you able to possibly touch upon what proportion of your payer contracts had been affected by this — by the true-up and whether or not the length of this — these adjustments are multi-year? Mainly, it will be useful to grasp if this is a matter we’ll should doubtlessly revisit subsequent yr. So any feedback there can be useful.

And second, simply by way of the Royalty Pharma settlement that was introduced this yr, I simply wish to verify that out of your perspective, is that this doubtlessly the final supply of exterior capital that you simply assume you may want previous to attaining working money stream breakeven both this yr or subsequent yr? Thanks very a lot.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

The query that you’re asking for associated to the implementation of the brand new contracts, the implementation of the brand new contract was a continued course of to Q1 and Q2. We at the moment are able that we now have reset it. Because of this Scott used the good work reset. Now we have reset our protection within the US and out from that perspective, the [indiscernible] we count on to see within the second half might be aligned to what we noticed within the first half, and we count on the identical GTN in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. I can solely include 5 years steerage.

Thanks. Our final query will come from the road of Yaron Werber from TD Cowen. Your line is open.

Yaron Werber

Nice. Thanks for taking my query. Hope you possibly can hear me. My query is 2 components simply referring to the — as you concentrate on the steerage for the yr, the EUR220 million to EUR240 million, does that entail that the EUR71.5 million that you simply form of did within the first half for SKYTROFA on a web foundation? Or is that together with the EUR91 million, assuming you probably did EUR65 million in Q1? After which secondly on, you mentioned you probably did EUR53 million in Q2. Is {that a} good run price to then begin into Q3? And 4, ought to we actually consider the EUR26 million this quarter as an excellent run price into the second half? Thanks.

Jan Moller Mikkelsen

Sure. There was a number of query in what you principally gave to Scott and me and Joe and the business group into it. I believe once you begin on the final query about fundamental the reported quantity immediately right here in our numbers. And I see that the actual quantity is principally the reported web gross sales plus the true out that we principally offered to you. So you’re taking the quantity that we had in our Q2 gross sales after which principally add every part what we took in all through each from 2023 and what we did in Q1, there you’re going to get a fundamental and web gross sales of what we had within the second quarter of ’24. So I believe that’s the actual quantity.

And once you take a look at that, it’s round EUR53 million, if I calculate it proper. That I believe is the actual quantity for Q2. If I do my calculation, it is 53.4 or one thing like that to be concrete. So we see, no doubt, a extremely good pickup in — from Q1 to Q2. And once you return and look on the seasonal variance that pertains to the [indiscernible], we’ll see an improved pickup in Q3 and This fall. And once we did the forecasting, we principally took a conservative method and saying we use the quantity between Q1 and Q2 and use that as a forthcoming quantity for each quarter, remainder of the yr, which means is that we now have not calculated any seasonal impact within the numbers we now have given you immediately.

I believe it answered most query associated to your mathematic algorithm associated to the numbers. Scott, do you’ve something so as to add?

Scott Smith

Yeah. Only one factor, Yaron. The — for the primary half, we reported EUR91.2 million with none — these had been the precise reported numbers. And as we mentioned within the ready remarks within the press launch, that quantity was decreased — had been decreased by EUR7.6 million of true-up for durations previous to January 1. So in different phrases, it will have been 7.2 greater or about EUR100 million for the primary half.
