The company reports financial results under two segments, namely Orphan (previously known as the Orphan and Rheumatology segment) and Inflammation (previously known as the primary care segment).
Sales in the Orphan segment were $951 million, up 78% from the prior-year figure, driven by the strong relaunch of Tepezza as well as continued growth of drugs like Krystexxa, Ravicti, Procysbi and Actimmune. The segment represented 92% of the total third-quarter net sales.
Krystexxa sales surged 46% year over year to $158.1 million. Tepezza generated net sales worth $616.4 million in the third quarter, up 115% year over year. Tepezza was relaunched in the United States in April 2021 after sales were negatively impacted by a short-term supply disruption due to U.S. government-mandated COVID-19 vaccine orders, which began in December 2020.
