Amicus (FOLD) Q2 Earnings Beat, Galafold Sales Miss Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD - Free Report) reported a loss of 21 cents per share in second-quarter 2022, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 23 cents. The company had reported an adjusted loss of 19 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues increased 4.3% year over year to $80.7 million for the second quarter, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $85 million. Revenues were entirely derived from the sales of Galafold (migalastat), approved for Fabry disease.
Shares of Amicus Therapeutics have slumped 5.3% in the year compared with the industry’s 19.1% decline.

Quarter in Detail
Revenues in the second quarter were driven by strong new patient accruals but were partially offset by order timing in certain ex-US markets and foreign currency impact.
Operating expenses (adjusted basis) were $119.2 million, up 27.5% year over year.
As of Jun 30, 2022, Amicus Therapeutics had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $386.8 million compared with $411.2 million on Mar 31, 2022.
Amicus Therapeutics expects cash resources and revenues to be enough to support operations and the ongoing research programs through self-sustainability. FOLD anticipates achieving profitability by 2023.
Maintains 2022 Guidance
For the full year, Amicus Therapeutics expects total Galafold revenues of at least $350-$365 million, driven by continued patient demand and commercial execution across all major markets, including the United States, the EU, the U.K. and Japan.
Adjusted operating expenses for the year are estimated in the range of $470-$485 million, driven by continued investments for the global Galafold launch, AT-GAA clinical studies and pre-launch activities.
Other Updates
The lead pipeline candidate in Amicus Therapeutics’ portfolio is AT-GAA, developed as a potential treatment for Pompe disease. The FDA extended the target action dates to Aug 29, 2022, for the New Drug Application (NDA) and Oct 29, 2022, for the Biologic License Application (BLA), reflective of the two components of AT-GAA.
In the EU, Amicus Therapeutics completed the marketing authorization application (MAA) submissions for AT-GAA in fourth-quarter 2021. A positive opinion on the MAA by the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) is expected later this year.
