Non-GAAP earnings were $41 million, down from $46 millon year-earlier.
Cash and equivalents ended at $523 million. Cash was used to acquire Sage after the quarter ended.
Total expenses were $153 million, consisting of: cost of good sold $17 million, R&D $22 million, SG&A $94 million, amortization $21 million. Leaving operating earnings of $12 million. Interest and other income $4.5 million. Income tax $5.8 million.
Q&A (selective summary):
Qelbree dynamics, launch, pricing? Pricing is $300 for a 30 day prescription. Gross to net is improving. Adult segment now about 30% of total prescriptions, growing faster than pediatrics. Should pick up as we go into back-to-school season.
Onapgo launch? 750 enrollment forms submitted. Takes time to process, become shipments and revenue. Some forms will not translate into actual prescriptions. Toward end of July we have about 200 patients on drug. We are starting to see refills. So good momentum so far. Reimbursements are going smoothly.
Zurzuvae sales trend? Since we just closed, in Q2 Sage saw 36% growth. Q1 was up 22% sequentially. Mainly from expanded sales force. We will need some time to understand Q2 and Q3 trends better. We have no current estimate of peak sales. But we hope to make the milestone payments we owe based on increased sales. We are in it for the long haul.
Qelbree color on doctors, demand? Combination of patient demand, doctors' view of mechanism of action. Has a different feel for ADHD patients from other products.
Cash after Sage deal? $260 million at the time of close. So still able to do new business development.
Obgyn v. psychiatry? 70% to 80% of Zurzuvae prescriptions are currently Obgyn. We do have a strong presense in psychiatry, so will talk to Biogen about that area.
One Qelbree pill gives ADHD patients a full day's coverage with a better profile, which helps if they are quiting an older therapy.
