Q&A highlights

Q: Backing out other products from 2025 revenue guidance, infer Qelbree's potential range; key levers to sales growth.

A: Jack Khattar states it's a fair range to back into, with key levers including continued prescription growth, high patient satisfaction, and expansion in the adult segment.

Q: BD appetite after SPN-820's TRD data; firepower.

A: BD remains a top priority, focusing on commercial products and mid/late-stage pipeline assets, with flexibility due to a strong balance sheet and no debt.

Q: Calvary performance, gross-to-net; adult launch of Qelbree; SPN-820 timing; ONAPGO launch trajectory.

A: Calvary's Q4 performance, gross-to-net expected to be 50%-55% in 2025; adult launch of Qelbree is progressing with combination use; SPN-820 next steps expected in the couple of months; ONAPGO launch is expected to be a slow build with single-digit sales in guidance.

Q: ONAPGO market, fit with PD products, cannibalization of Apokyn; GOCOVRI's role.

A: ONAPGO targets advanced Parkinson's patients, distinct from Apokyn; GOCOVRI fits within the Parkinson's disease portfolio.

A: Competitive landscape is uncertain until data from other products is available; ONAPGO is priced competitively in the marketplace.

Q: ADHD comorbidities, BD therapeutic areas.
