Q: Can you give us a sense of how many third-party supply contracts are currently up and running and the expected cadence for 2025? A: We are advancing rapidly, with more than 50% of the centers we aimed to add already operational. Our scientific and technical operations team is working hard to increase testing throughput, which allows us to onboard more collection centers. If current trends hold, there could be upsides to guidance for 2026, as more plasma allows us to produce more drugs. (Respondent: Unidentified_7)
Q: Is there a waiting list of patients qualified for treatment with incentives, and how might this change with increased supply? A: The queue of prospective patients is growing, and we are onboarding more patients than before. As we collect more plasma, we can increase production, which will allow us to accelerate new patient starts. Demand KPIs are growing, and we feel positive about the continuity of supply for the duration of treatment. (Respondent: Unidentified_7)
Q: How does a new doctor's experience with incentive affect their recommendation to other patients? A: Typically, about 10% of a doctor's patient population meets the criteria for incentive. Once doctors see the benefits firsthand, they tend to recommend the therapy to more patients. We expect the depth and breadth of patient recommendations to grow, as demand indicators are strong. (Respondent: Unidentified_7)
Q: Regarding long-term guidance, does it include yield enhancement, and how does it relate to the extended supply agreements? A: The guidance for 2025 excludes yield enhancement, but there could be some accretion in the back half of the year if mid-year approval is achieved. For 2026, yield enhancement is heavily risk-adjusted, and there could be significant upside if current collection volumes continue. (Respondent: Unidentified_7)
Q: Can you elaborate on the yield enhancement opportunity and its potential impact on production? A: The yield enhancement process is expected to increase production output by approximately 20% from the same starting plasma volume. This could significantly increase financial guidance if approved. The FDA dialogue has been constructive, and we are prepared to implement the new process enhancements swiftly upon approval. (Respondent: Unidentified_7)
