Updated 2023 guidance (preliminary and unaudited*) for Ruconest in HAE

  • For the full year 2023, we expect Ruconest revenues to increase by 10% to approximately US$227 million, significantly exceeding our previous low single digit growth guidance.
  • New patient enrollments in 2023 were up 25% vs. the prior year and were a significant driver of the strong Ruconest revenue growth achieved throughout 2023.
  • In 2023, Pharming saw the first full-year, post-pandemic benefit of its first quarter 2020 restructuring and expansion of its U.S. salesforce. The Company achieved record numbers in leading metrics including increasing the Ruconest physician prescriber base by 13% during the year, in many cases adding previously unknown HAE prescribers.

* Updated guidance based on preliminary selected financial results that are unaudited and subject to adjustment. Pharming expects to issue full financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 in March 2024. The Company has not completed its financial closing procedures for the quarter or year ended December 31, 2023 and actual results could differ from these preliminary financial results.
