Shares of KalVista Pharmaceuticals climbed after the company said it saw strong demand for Ekterly, a treatment for a rare genetic disorder, in its latest quarter.

The stock rose 14%, to $17.99, in after-hours trading on Thursday. Through market close, shares have surged 92% in the past 12 months.

Chief Executive Ben Palleiko said the company is extremely pleased with its performance since offering Ekterly, an oral treatment for hereditary angioedema, in July.

"Fundamental demand has remained strong, with some effects from seasonal variability, and we are encouraged by the continued high level of interest in switching to Ekterly," Palleiko said.

The Framingham, Mass., company now expects net product revenue of $35 million for the fourth quarter and $49 million for 2025. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected full-year revenue of $32.7 million.

The company is also seeing strong uptake for Ekterly in Germany, Palleiko said, noting early prescribing behaviors in the country have mirrored the positive trends the company saw in the U.S. The company expects to expand into other major markets this year, he added.
