PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 24, 2026--
Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRMY) today announced earnings with reported revenue of $243.8 million for Q4 2025, representing 21% year-over-year revenue growth for WAKIX$(R)$ . For the full year 2025, the company generated $868.5 million in net product revenue, reflecting continued commercial strength as evidenced by six consecutive years of revenue growth and profitability. The company enters the year with significant momentum, reinforcing its profile as a profitable, self-funding biotech company with a robust, late-stage pipeline and strong long-term growth potential.
"WAKIX is on track to exceed $1 billion in revenue and achieve blockbuster status in 2026, reflecting the strength and durability of the pitolisant franchise. Based on this commercial success and our strong momentum, we see even greater opportunity for pitolisant going forward," said Jeffrey M. Dayno, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Harmony Biosciences. "The next-generation formulations of pitolisant are designed to grow our leadership in sleep-wake, extend the lifecycle of pitolisant into the 2040's, expand into additional orphan/rare indications, and now broaden our reach beyond orphan/rare into larger CNS patient populations. Our robust late-stage pipeline, including five ongoing Phase 3 registrational trials across five distinct CNS indications, positions Harmony for multiple near-term catalysts and meaningful long-term value creation."

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Harmony Biosciences reported net product revenue of $243.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $201.3 million for the same period in 2024, representing 22% year-over-year growth. This performance reflects both continued demand for WAKIX within the large narcolepsy market opportunity (approximately 80,000 diagnosed patients in the U.S.) and the product's broad clinical utility. The continued success has been driven by strong execution across the organization from sales effectiveness to marketing and promotion and supported by broad payer coverage and how the company supports patients over time.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was $22.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $49.5 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in Q4 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income, which we believe better reflects our core business performance, was $33.4 million ($0.57 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $64.2 million ($1.10 per diluted share) for the comparable 2024 period.
Reconciliations of applicable GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release.
Harmony's operating expenses include the following:
-- Research and Development expenses were $49.9 million in the fourth
quarter of 2025, as compared to $34.7 million for the same quarter in
2024, representing a 44% increase;
-- Sales and Marketing expenses were $29.2 million in the fourth quarter
of 2025, as compared to $27.6 million for the same quarter in 2024,
representing a 6% increase;
-- General and Administrative expenses were $57.6 million in the fourth
quarter of 2025, as compared to $28.9 million for the same quarter in
2024, representing a 99% increase; and
-- Total Operating Expenses were $136.7 million in the fourth quarter of
2025, as compared to $91.1 million for the same quarter in 2024,
representing a 50% increase.
Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Net product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $868.5 million, compared to $714.7 million for the same period in 2024. The 22% growth versus the same period in 2024 is primarily attributed to strong commercial sales of WAKIX driven by continued organic demand tapping into a large market opportunity (approximately 80,000 patients diagnosed with narcolepsy in the U.S.) and the broad clinical utility of WAKIX across the approximately 9,000 HCPs that we call on (about 5,000 of whom do not participate in an oxybate REMS program).
GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $158.7 million, or $2.71 earnings per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $145.6 million, or $2.51 earnings per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $211.0 million, or $3.60 earnings per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $196.7 million, or $3.40 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024.
