UroGen Pharma reported third‑quarter 2025 results on November 6 2025, with total revenue of $27.482 million—slightly below the $27.5 million figure previously cited. Net product revenue from the flagship drug JELMYTO was $25.7 million, up 13% year‑over‑year, while the newly launched intravesical solution ZUSDURI generated $1.8 million in its first full market quarter. The company posted a net loss of $33.3 million, or $0.69 per share, a decline from the $23.7 million loss ($0.51 per share) reported in Q3 2024 and a widening loss compared to the $49.9 million loss ($1.05 per share) in Q2 2025.
Operating expenses rose to $51.59 million, driven largely by a $37.6 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs. The jump in SG&A reflects the heavy commercial build‑out for ZUSDURI, including marketing, sales force expansion and reimbursement strategy development. Research and development expenses remained steady at $14.0 million, indicating continued investment in the company’s pipeline, particularly the UGN‑103 program.
The company reiterated its full‑year 2025 guidance for JELMYTO net product revenue of $94–$98 million, unchanged from prior guidance. Management expressed confidence that JELMYTO will maintain its growth trajectory, but the revenue miss in Q3 signals that the pace of new patient starts for ZUSDURI has been slower than anticipated. The J-code (J9282) for ZUSDURI was assigned in October 2025 and will become effective on January 1 2026, meaning full reimbursement benefits will materialize in 2026.
Investors reacted to the earnings with a pre‑market decline of 5.49%, largely driven by the $5.71 million revenue miss versus the consensus estimate of $33.19 million and a $0.01 EPS miss. The market’s focus on the revenue shortfall underscores the importance of meeting analyst expectations for a company that is still in the early commercialization phase of a new product.
CEO Liz Barrett highlighted the momentum behind ZUSDURI, noting that “despite slower than anticipated new patient starts, we are encouraged by the patient demand reflected in our enrollment forms.” She added that strong enthusiasm from urologists and broad reimbursement coverage are expanding access, reinforcing confidence in the commercial opportunity ahead.
The first quarter of ZUSDURI sales, while modest, represents a critical milestone for UroGen’s strategy to move beyond its rare‑disease focus. The company’s RTGel platform, which underpins both JELMYTO and ZUSDURI, positions it for sustained‑release drug delivery advantages. However, the revenue miss and widening loss highlight the short‑term cost burden of launching a new therapy and the need to accelerate patient uptake to achieve profitability.
In summary, UroGen’s Q3 results show continued growth in its core product, a significant investment in the launch of ZUSDURI, and a revenue miss that has tempered investor enthusiasm. The company’s long‑term prospects hinge on the successful commercialization of ZUSDURI and the continued performance of JELMYTO, while short‑term financial pressure will persist until the new product’s reimbursement benefits fully materialize in 2026.
