ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUPN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2025 and associated Company developments.
"Our strong operating performance in the first half of the year was driven by continued strong sales growth of Qelbree and GOCOVRI, which combined accounted for 72% of total net sales in the second quarter of 2025," said Jack Khattar, President and CEO of Supernus. "Our focus for the second half of the year remains on the launch of ONAPGO, the successful integration of Sage Therapeutics, and the continued performance of our growth products," said Jack Khattar, President and CEO of Supernus.
Acquisition of Sage Therapeutics, Inc.
The Company completed the acquisition of Sage Therapeutics on July 31, 2025, strengthening its leading presence in neuropsychiatric conditions with an innovative commercial product, ZURZUVAE® (zuranolone), and a novel CNS discovery platform. The acquisition is expected to accelerate mid- to long-term revenue and cash flow growth and further diversify the Company's revenue base.

Other Financial Highlights
Operating earnings were $12.1 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to operating earnings of $22.6 million and $19.4 million for the same periods in 2024. The change was primarily due to higher contingent consideration loss, mainly related to the achievement of ONAPGO-related milestones, and higher selling and marketing expenses.
Adjusted operating earnings (non-GAAP) were $40.9 million and $66.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $45.5 million and $67.7 million for the same periods in 2024.
Net earnings and diluted earnings per share were $22.5 million and $0.40 for the three months and $10.7 million and $0.19 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to net earnings and diluted earnings per share of $19.9 million and $0.36 for the three months and $20.0 million and $0.36 six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
At June 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, and current marketable securities were approximately $522.6 million compared to $453.6 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to cash generated from operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains financial measures that present financial information which do not comply with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, or superior to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings on a historical and projected basis adjusts for non-cash share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, intangible asset impairment charges and changes to fair value of contingent consideration, and for factors that are unusual, non-recurring or unpredictable, and excludes those costs, expenses, and other specified items presented in the reconciliation tables in this press release. In addition to non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings, we also present total revenues excluding net sales of Trokendi XR (GAAP) and Oxtellar XR (GAAP), which is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as total revenues (GAAP) less net product sales of Trokendi XR (GAAP) and Oxtellar XR (GAAP). Beginning in the year a product loses exclusivity due to generic entrants, we generally do not expect net product sales of such products to constitute a significant part of our revenue in the future. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to management, investors, analysts and others regarding the Company's revenue and results of operations and assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth and the performance of the business.
There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore comparability may be limited. These limitations include: non-GAAP financial measures that may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies; these may not reflect all items of income and expense, as applicable, that affect our operations; there may be potential differences among calculation methodologies; these may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies. We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation. The Company's 2025 financial guidance is also being provided on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis.
End Notes
(1) See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information" for information about this non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of this press release.(2) IQVIA data restatement July 1, 2025.(3) Includes net product sales of MYOBLOC®, XADAGO® and Osmolex ER®.(4) Royalty, licensing, and other revenues include royalties on generic Trokendi XR, Oxtellar XR, other licensed products and intellectual property.(5) Includes net product sales and royalty, licensing, and other revenue.(6) Reflects continued generic erosion of Trokendi XR and generic erosion of Oxtellar XR beginning in September 2024. (7) Given the limited amount of time since the acquisition of Sage, the revised guidance as of August 5, 2025 is inclusive of expected revenue contribution from sales of ZURZUVAE®, estimated R&D and SGA expenses, estimated amortization of intangible assets acquired through the acquisition, and estimated certain acquisition-related one-time expenses, but does not yet reflect share-based compensation and change in fair value of contingent consideration. The estimates of expenses related to purchase accounting, such as acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, are subject to change and finalization of the accounting for the Sage acquisition.
