Catalyst posted another record year in 2025, beat prior guidance, and entered 2026 guiding for continued growth driven by FIRDAPSE and AGAMREE.· February 26, 2026
- 2025 total revenue was $589.0 million, up 19.8% year over year and above the prior $565 million to $585 million guidance range.
- GAAP net income rose to $214.3 million, or $1.68 per diluted share; non-GAAP net income was $346.2 million, or $2.72 per diluted share.
- FIRDAPSE generated $358.4 million in 2025 revenue; AGAMREE reached $117.1 million, up 154.3% year over year; FYCOMPA produced $113.3 million despite generic entry.
- 2026 guidance calls for total revenue of $615 million to $645 million, with FIRDAPSE at $435 million to $450 million, AGAMREE at $140 million to $150 million, and FYCOMPA at $40 million to $45 million.
- Management highlighted a large LEMS opportunity, stronger lead generation/testing, and a continued focus on business development for on-market or near-market rare disease assets.
Catalyst reported 2025 total revenues of $589.0 million, up 19.8% from $491.7 million in 2024; fourth-quarter 2025 total revenues were $152.6 million, up 7.6% year over year. Net product revenue for 2025 was $588.8 million, up 20.3% year over year. GAAP net income was $214.3 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, versus $163.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, in 2024; non-GAAP net income was $346.2 million, or $2.72 per diluted share. FIRDAPSE full-year revenue was $358.4 million, up 17% for the year and 18.3% in Q4; AGAMREE full-year revenue was $117.1 million, up 154.3% year over year and 67.5% in Q4; FYCOMPA full-year revenue was $113.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents ended 2025 at $709.2 million, up from $517.6 million at year-end 2024. For 2026, the company guided total revenue to $615 million to $645 million, FIRDAPSE to $435 million to $450 million, AGAMREE to $140 million to $150 million, and FYCOMPA to $40 million to $45 million.
Rich Daly said 2025 was another “fantastic year” and framed the company as entering 2026 “from a position of strength” with significant momentum. He emphasized dual-market expansion for FIRDAPSE, deeper penetration for AGAMREE, and a disciplined business-development strategy focused on differentiated rare disease products with clear regulatory paths and near-term value. He also reiterated confidence in protecting FIRDAPSE IP and in expanding AGAMREE through data generation and possible label/lifecycle opportunities.
Mike Kalb detailed the financial results and guidance, including $589.0 million of 2025 revenue, $214.3 million of GAAP net income, and $709.2 million of cash and cash equivalents at year-end. He noted that 2026 FIRDAPSE guidance reflects a higher gross-to-net burden from the IRA impact on Medicare Part D, that AGAMREE’s growth continues to require meaningful royalty payments, and that FYCOMPA will remain meaningful even as generic competition erodes sales. He also said 2026 R&D is expected to be $17.5 million to $22.5 million and SG&A to increase slightly, while cash generation should support R&D, obligations, business development, and portfolio expansion.
Analysts focused on what drives 2026 growth for FIRDAPSE and AGAMREE, whether FIRDAPSE growth could remain above its historical range beyond 2026, and whether a business-development deal is likely this year. Management pointed to a greater than 600-patient identified LEMS pool, 21% growth in VGCC testing year over year, better lead quality via AI/machine learning and multiple data sources, and a 12% reduction in discontinuations after pharmacy interventions. On AGAMREE, they said adoption is broad across top DMD centers, reimbursement is above 85% and closer to 90%, the median age of new enrollees has fallen by about a year, and about 10% of patients start AGAMREE as their first steroid. On BD, management said they are evaluating opportunities thoughtfully and opportunistically but did not commit to a transaction in 2026.
The call showed strong operating momentum, with revenue and earnings both up and the company beating its prior full-year guidance. Management believes FIRDAPSE still has substantial room to run in idiopathic and cancer-associated LEMS, while AGAMREE is gaining broader adoption, higher retention, and expanding reimbursement success. The balance sheet also looks strong, with $709.2 million of cash and continued operating cash generation.
FYCOMPA faces generic competition, and management expects sales to decline to $40 million to $45 million in 2026, with royalties starting in July 2026. FIRDAPSE’s 2026 guidance also reflects a rising gross-to-net drag from the IRA, and management said some of the cancer-associated LEMS opportunity will take time to convert because screening and care-pathway adoption are still developing. AGAMREE’s broader lifecycle and additional-indication efforts are promising, but management said those data are not yet in the label, limiting near-term promotional impact.

A “Sell” may be a pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plan sale rather than a discretionary decision — read insider selling with that in mind.
