• ARIKAYCE营收达到1.244亿美元，同比增长9%。
• Insmed将2026年BRINSUPRI的营收指引上调至13.5亿至14.0亿美元，并将ARIKAYCE的指引上调至4.60亿至4.70亿美元。
• 截至本季度末，公司拥有的现金、现金等价物及可交易证券约为11亿美元。管理层预计Insmed将在2027年实现现金流转正。
• BRINSUPRI于2026年10月在日本上市。管理层预计，日本将成为该产品在美国以外市场的主要营收贡献者。
• ARIKAYCE用于鸟分枝杆菌复合体（MAC）肺病的潜在扩大适应症申请获得了FDA的优先审评资格，PDUFA目标行动日期为2027年1月28日。

核心财务数据

管理层表示，BRINSUPRI正在改善公司的毛利率状况。管理层还预计，随着销售规模扩大，销售及管理费用占营收的比例将有所改善，同时公司将继续资助四项TPIP III期临床试验及早期管线项目。

业务与运营表现

BRINSUPRI

BRINSUPRI仍是Insmed的主要增长驱动力。管理层提到了强劲的支付方批准及重新授权率、患者用药依从性以及处方药分发趋势。在该产品上市满一年后，公司将不再计划单独公布每项具体的上市指标。

Insmed正在优先深化现有呼吸科诊所的开药深度，同时继续扩大开药医生的广度。管理层认为，随着医生积累治疗经验，该药物的使用范围可能会从最严重的支气管扩张症患者扩大到中度及早期患者。

一项品牌电视营销活动计划于2026年11月启动，同时还将开展数字及其他面向患者和医生的推广活动。管理层预计该活动对需求的推动作用将在2027年上半年开始显现，但未提供具体的数值目标。

BRINSUPRI还在10月于日本上市。据公司称，日本约有15万名确诊的支气管扩张症患者。在III期ASPEN研究中，日本亚组患者的年化病情加重率降低了68%，而全球研究中这一数字约为20%。管理层还报告称，日本患者的肺功能改善幅度是全球研究的两倍以上。

Insmed正在通过为期两年的BEST BE观察性研究（在多达1000名美国成年人中进行）以及由Embark开展的为期三年的欧洲研究（在多达3000名患者中进行）来积累长期循证证据。

COPD和哮喘人群中的支气管扩张症

管理层将慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）或哮喘患者中未确诊的支气管扩张症视为重大潜在增长机遇。公司表示，在美国约3200万COPD或哮喘患者中，即使只有个位数百分比的患者患有未确诊的支气管扩张症，BRINSUPRI的目标覆盖人群也可能扩大至数百万人。

这一机遇尚未包含在管理层目前对BRINSUPRI超过70亿美元的峰值销售额预测中。Insmed正在进行回顾性影像分析，与合作伙伴共同开发AI驱动的诊断工具，并配备了16名经过培训的护士教育人员，以帮助呼吸科医生识别潜在病例。

公司预计将在2027年中期左右提供初步研究结果。管理层表示，对患者识别更具实质性的贡献可能会从2027年开始，并在2028年及以后进一步扩大。

ARIKAYCE

ARIKAYCE在第三季度实现营收1.244亿美元。FDA已授予其针对MAC肺病的补充新药申请优先审评资格，PDUFA目标行动日期为2027年1月28日。FDA目前不计划召开咨询委员会会议。

Insmed还计划在2026年第四季度向日本药品和医疗器械局（PMDA）提交ENCORE研究数据。在获得批准的前提下，公司预计将于2027年上半年在美国和日本推出扩大适应症的上市销售。

管理层估计，涵盖所有MAC肺病患者的扩大适应症可将ARIKAYCE在每个地区的目标市场从约1.5万名患者扩大至10万名以上，从而在美国和日本形成合计超过20万名患者的潜在市场。

TPIP及研发管线

Insmed的TPIP PALM开发项目包括针对PH-ILD、PAH、PPF和IPF的四项III期临床研究。

PH-ILD试验的患者入组进度已超过35%，比原计划提前了约六个月。管理层预计入组工作最迟将于2028年上半年完成。PAH试验已入组首例患者，PPF试验已启动首个临床中心，而IPF研究仍按计划将于2027年上半年启动。

INS1033已进入针对健康志愿者的I期临床研究，预计将在2027年获得药代动力学暴露量和血液NSP数据。阳性结果将支持在2027年开展类风湿关节炎的II期研究，随后还将开展溃疡性结肠炎和COPD的项目。

Insmed还计划于2027年启动INS1148在IPF适应症中的II期临床开发。来自INS1201杜氏肌营养不良症（DMD）及INS1202渐冻症（ALS）基因治疗项目的初步I期数据预计将于2027年公布。

管理层业绩指引

BRINSUPRI指引的上调将此前范围的下限提高了1.00亿美元，中点提高了5000万美元。对于ARIKAYCE，下限提高了1000万美元。

从长期来看，管理层估计Insmed的三款核心呼吸系统药物资产的峰值销售额合计可能超过140亿美元：其中BRINSUPRI超过70亿美元，TPIP（涵盖四个适应症）超过60亿美元，扩大适应症后的ARIKAYCE超过10亿美元。这些数据均为公司预测，取决于临床、监管及商业化结果。

风险与关注焦点

• 管理层表示，现在判断BRINSUPRI是否存在显著的季节性需求模式还为时过早。预计在2026-2027年感冒和流感季节过后将有进一步的明确结论。
• 关于COPD患者中支气管扩张症患病率的预测差异很大。管理层引用的已发表文献数据在4%至64%不等，因此最终的目标覆盖人群仍存在不确定性。
• 针对COPD和哮喘合并症的战略取决于诊断实践的改变、影像复核以及医生意识的提升。管理层将这一过程描述为一个渐进的过程。
• TPIP的时间进度仍取决于试验患者入组、治疗持续时间、数据库准备以及临床结果。
• ARIKAYCE与Medicare（美国联邦医疗保险）相关的制药商覆盖成本预计将在2027年升至5%，并每年递增，直至2031年达到灾难性覆盖成本的20%，从而扩大该产品的毛额与净额扣减率。
• 随着Insmed资助商业化推进及管线开发（包括四项TPIP III期临床研究），研发与销售及管理费用同比增长40%。

分析师问答要点

管理层表示，BRINSUPRI的停药率和用药依从性趋势均好于预期，其中依从性被描述为推动上市销售的最强动力之一。管理层还预计，到2027年新患者的起始用药人数将继续增长。

在医生采纳度方面，Insmed正首先专注于提高大型呼吸科诊所（仅次于顶级专业中心）的开药深度。管理层还看到了来自更广泛社区呼吸科采纳的进一步潜力。

在直接面向消费者（DTC）的营销方面，管理层预计品牌广告将提升需求，初步效果可能在2027年上半年显现。公司将监控电视、数字及其他渠道的支出。

关于TPIP，管理层表示新的临床数据提高了医生对PH-ILD和PAH试验的兴趣。然而，公司未提供这两项研究的主要数据公布日期。

在现金流方面，公司未明确说明收支平衡所需的季度营收门槛。管理层将其对2027年实现现金流转正的信心归因于BRINSUPRI的营收增长轨迹及预期的运营杠杆效应。

管理层陈述

Operator

Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Insmed Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note that today's call will include forward-looking statements. These statements represent the company's judgment as of today and in and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the projections discussed.

Please refer to Insmed's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a full description of these risk factors. The information discussed on today's call is meant for the benefit of the investment community. It is not intended for promotional purposes and it is not sufficient for prescribing decisions.

Today's call will feature prepared remarks about Insmed's quarterly performance and financial position by Will Lewis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer; and Sara Bonstein, Chief Financial Officer, respectively. After their remarks, they will be joined by Martina Flammer, Chief Medical Officer, for the Q&A session. I would now like to turn the call over to Will Lewis.

William Lewis

Good morning. Today's updates are intended to illustrate three overarching ideas. The first is that Insmed has evolved into a diversified biotechnology company that we believe can generate significant revenue and earnings with substantial growth over the next 10 years and beyond.

In addition to exceeding $1 billion in total company revenue year-to-date, I am pleased to announce that BRINSUPRI has already achieved blockbuster status, having generated more than $1 billion in revenue in its first 4 full quarters of launch. We believe we have only scratched the surface of the potential addressable patients who may benefit from this first ever approved foundational medicine in bronchiectasis.

While we have treated tens of thousands of patients in the first year, there remain hundreds of thousands of patients already diagnosed and waiting with potentially millions more who may benefit. We have literally only just begun to see the benefit BRINSUPRI will bring to patients, and this has been achieved while continuing to deliver for patients with NTM with ARIKAYCE. As a result of this performance, we are raising our full year 2026 guidance for both products.

I'm very proud of the work we have done but there's always more we can improve upon. I continue to believe the growth road ahead for our medicines is very substantial.

Looking ahead, we have forecasted our 3 lead respiratory assets to collectively grow at a compound annual growth rate of more than 20% over the next 10-plus years. In doing so, we expect our three lead respiratory assets to collectively exceed $14 billion in estimated peak sales with room for potential upside.

BRINSUPRI's peak sales estimate of more than $7 billion does not include the COPD and asthma comorbid patient populations, which we estimate number in the low single-digit millions of additional patients. We believe the future impact of BRINSUPRI on these additional patients who are on max dose treatments for their conditions, but are still suffering damage from exacerbations could be significant.

The consequent revenue generation from success in treating these patients could represent potentially as much as or even more than the current $7 billion peak sales estimate, and in a moment, I will speak to the initiatives we are deploying to tackle this important opportunity.

TPIP is also expected to be a massive product, potentially hitting the market by the end of this decade with a peak sales estimate of more than $6 billion from four separate indications. Thus far, TPIP has distinguished itself within the [ prostanoid ] class with superior improvement in 6-minute walk distance and PVR reduction among other efficacy measures as well as better safety and convenience with its clearly differentiated profile.

We believe TPIP, a once-daily inhaled Treprostinil prodrug has the potential to unlock previously unknown clinical safety and convenience benefits through a validated mechanism of action. I want to be very clear that we remain fully prepared for any and all challenges brought by companies who try to stand in the way of patients potentially gaining access to this innovative therapy.

Finally, we believe ARIKAYCE with an expanded label possible next year has the potential to achieve more than $1 billion in peak sales with launch preparation in the U.S. and Japan well underway, assuming approvals in both territories. We believe that having a diversified portfolio of respiratory assets, each of which we believe have the potential to be a blockbuster will enable us to deliver among the best revenue growth and ultimately, earnings growth and place Insmed at or near the forefront of commercial stage biopharma companies for the foreseeable future.

The second idea is that Insmed continues to demonstrate operational excellence. We measure operational excellence by our ability to deliver strong revenue performance while scaling commercial, clinical and technical capabilities designed to meet our future. Today, operational excellence is seen in the continued advancement of our four Phase III TPIP trials in PH-ILD, PAH, PPF and IPF. It will continue to be demonstrated through the anticipated initiation of multiple Phase II programs over the next several years, pending positive data from the Phase I healthy volunteer study of INS1033, we expect to initiate a Phase II study in rheumatoid arthritis in 2027, followed by ulcerative colitis and COPD. Also, in 2027, we plan to begin a Phase II study of INS1148 and IP with plans to evaluate it in PPF and other inflammatory and fibrotic diseases thereafter.

And the third idea is that our research engine continues to advance therapies that we believe have the potential to be first or best in class. In 2027, we expect to share data from our Phase I gene therapy programs in DMD and ALS. We are also reiterating our guidance to submit one to two INDs per year through the end of the decade.

While there are many more programs under evaluation, we currently have line of sight to nine research programs from across our four research centers, all of which we believe could be first or best-in-class medicines. These programs have the potential to enter the clinic between now and 2029, and we believe several could qualify for accelerated approval.

Beyond our internal pipeline, we continue to have an active business development effort in search of medicines like BRINSUPRI. They are very hard to find, but we believe they are out there.

The takeaway should be that our combination of sustained commercial growth operational excellence and differentiated scientific innovation has the potential to set Insmed apart from its peers and position it at the forefront of high-performing biotechnology companies.

Now let's take a closer look at BRINSUPRI. BRINSUPRI produced $400.1 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2026. This represents 29% sequential growth versus the prior quarter. On Slide 7, you can see that BRINSUPRI revenues continue to far exceed those of other strong respiratory launches, including blockbusters like DUPIXENT, TEZSPIRE, VISENRA and WINREVAIR on a launch-aligned quarterly revenue basis.

On August 12, we celebrated BRINSUPRI's 1-year anniversary of FDA approval and U.S. launch. With more than 1 year of commercial launch behind us, I am pleased to report that we remain excited by our performance relative to key internal launch benchmarks and we continue to be comfortable with the historic direction we have provided on metrics like new patient starts, which we believe has the potential to expand as we move through 2027.

As previously communicated, now that we are past the first full year of launch, we no longer plan to provide specific updates to each individual launch metric. We are extremely happy with our performance, and we are seeing particular strength in payer approval rates, reauthorization rates, persistency and dispenses and continued positive feedback from patients that say they feel better on BRINSUPRI. Across the board, we are happy with where we are and where we are going.

We remain focused on continuously refining our commercial strategy and optimizing resource allocation to maximize the launches potential. For example, we continue to sharpen our physician engagement strategy prioritizing top tier prescribers where we see the greatest potential for increased depth.

We also look forward to launching our first branded TV campaign, which will contemplate our existing collection of unbranded campaigns and hopefully help patients with bronchiectasis understand that an approved once-daily oral treatment option may be right for them.

We have determined that this type of commercial outreach usually has a very high return on investment, and we are excited for its launch next month.

Given BRINSUPRI's consistent outperformance to date, we are raising our full year 2026 revenue guidance range to $1.35 billion to $1.4 billion, which represents an increase to the low end of our previous guidance range by $100 million.

Turning now to Japan. Last week, we officially launched BRINSUPRI 25-milligram tablets in Japan. Principe is the first and only approved medicine for patients with bronchiectasis in Japan. Recall, Japan is home to approximately 150,000 patients currently diagnosed with bronchiectasis.

In our Phase III ASPEN study, Japanese patients demonstrated a substantially greater reduction in exacerbations with a 68% reduction in annualized exacerbation rate compared to approximately 20% in the global study.

In addition, Japanese patients demonstrated more than twice the improvement in lung function observed in the global study as measured by a change in FEV1 and FDC. While the biological reasons for this differentiation are not known, the difference is dramatic and underscores the potential of BRINSUPRI to make a profound difference in the lives of Japanese patients with bronchiectasis.

As a result of this positive clinical impact on Japanese patients, we are also pleased to have secured very favorable pricing for BRINSUPRI in Japan. We expect Japan to be the main driver of any ex U.S. bins sales.

As a reminder, precedent from other specialty medicines launched in the U.S., Europe and Japan suggests that collectively ex U.S. markets typically represent approximately 10% to 15% of global peak sales.

We are energized by the opportunity to serve Japanese patients, and we celebrate the hard work of our Japanese colleagues for reaching this important milestone while continuing to deliver strong ARIKAYCE performance over the last several years.

Turning now to our efforts to generate real-world evidence for BRINSUPRI. Our medical and clinical teams have been hard at work building a robust body of long-term evidence to support BRINSUPRI. In August, the bronchiectasis and NTM Association announced our collaboration on the first in disease observational study evaluating the real-world effectiveness of 10 and 25 milligrams of brensocatib.

The brensocatib effectiveness, safety and tolerability in bronchiectasis or BEST BE study is designed to measure the incidence and frequency of pulmonary exacerbations in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis over a 2-year period. The study will also track changes in patients' quality of life and the incidence and frequency of adverse events. The study plans to enroll 1,000 adults across 13 U.S. sites with key secondary measures, including changes in lung function time to next exacerbation rate of severe exacerbations and the presence of respiratory pathogens and NTM culture conversion.

We believe the BEST BE study will strengthen the long-term evidence base for BRINSUPRI in the U.S. and corroborate insights from our strategic collaboration with Embark in Europe.

As a reminder, Embark is conducting a 3-year open-label study of 25 milligrams of brensocatib in up to 3,000 patients across six European countries. The study will evaluate whether long-term treatment with brensocatib can modify the course of bronchiectasis and whether earlier use of brensocatib can further slow disease progression.

We look forward to working with the bronchiectasis and NTM Association and Embark to translate real-world evidence into actionable strategies that improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with bronchiectasis while further strengthening Insmed's leadership position in the space.

In parallel with our BRINSUPRI real-world evidence generation efforts, a dedicated task force has been hard at work advancing initiatives that raise awareness of comorbid bronchiectasis among patients with COPD and asthma and help physicians make more appropriate treatment decisions. We believe this comorbid bronchiectasis opportunity from within the COPD and asthma populations represents one of Insmed's most significant potential value drivers, an underdiagnosed bronchiectasis population that could be several times larger than the approximately 500,000 patients diagnosed in the U.S. today.

If even a single-digit percentage of the approximately 32 million patients with COPD or asthma in the U.S. are found to have undiagnosed bronchiectasis, the addressable population for BRINSUPRI could expand to several million patients. Importantly, this comorbid opportunity is not included in BRINSUPRI's current peak sales opportunity of more than $7 billion, which is why I previously mentioned that this peak sales estimate may have room for significant upside.

You've previously heard us discuss the work at the American Thoracic Society is doing on the diagnosis front as well as our launch of the suspect BE celebrity awareness campaign. As a reminder, ATS is evaluating how physicians identify bronchiectasis in clinical practice to help alter default diagnostic practices to specifically contemplate bronchiectasis and the suspect BE campaign aims to encourage patients with copier asthma still experiencing symptoms to explore further diagnosis with a pulmonologist. Today, I'm pleased to provide more details from our broader diagnosis strategy.

Our initiatives are arranged into three strategic priorities. The first is the generation of evidence to establish the prevalence and scale of undiagnosed bronchiectasis in patients with COPD or asthma.

The second is building strategic partnerships to explore opportunities to transform how bronchiectasis is detected and diagnosed in the care setting.

And the third is educating health care providers to improve their understanding and identification of bronchiectasis in their patients.

Our evidence generation initiatives began earlier this year with three leading COPD and asthma centers in the U.S. using retrospective imaging analysis to identify previously undiagnosed bronchiectasis and evaluate approaches to improve detection. Our goal is to change how bronchiectasis is identified in clinical practice by raising pulmonologists and radiologists suspicion of the disease, encouraging the systematic evaluation of high-res CT scans for the presence of the disease and strengthening hospital protocols to reinforce this process on behalf of patients. We believe these efforts can facilitate earlier diagnosis, improve disease management and help patients make more informed decisions about their care.

In addition to our evidence generation efforts, I'm excited to share that we are in the early stages of developing AI-powered diagnostic tools with strategic partners. These tools are intended to integrate into existing health care provider software to help identify bronchiectasis in patients' medical records and use predictive analytics to flag potential cases of bronchiectasis alongside other common pulmonary conditions like lung cancer, COPD and asthma.

To help physicians better detect bronchiectatic patients in their practices, we recently launched a disease educator program, deploying an initial team of 16 trained nurses across the U.S. These educators engage directly with pulmonologists where our data indicate there is a high concentration of patients with COPD and asthma. Their role is to help physicians recognize signs of underlying bronchiectasis in patients who may have the disease in addition to or instead of their current COPD or asthma diagnosis. As we evaluate the program's impact, we see an opportunity to expand this approach to additional U.S. sites.

These are just a few of the initiatives we have invested in thus far. We remain incredibly excited about the insights these efforts will generate and the strategies we expect to implement as a result.

Given that many of these insights are a derivative of lagging indicators, we anticipate sharing our initial findings in the middle of next year.

Let me now turn to ARIKAYCE. Commercially, ARIKAYCE continues to deliver, generating $124.4 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, which represents 9% annual growth versus the prior year period. Following 3 quarters of strong performance, we are raising our full year 2026 ARIKAYCE revenue guidance range to $460 million to $470 million, which represents an increase to the low end of our previous guidance range by $10 million.

On the regulatory front, I'm delighted to report that in September, the FDA granted ARIKAYCE priority review for its supplemental new drug application for the treatment of MAC lung disease. The PDUFA target action date is set for January 28, 2027. Importantly, the FDA indicated that it does not currently plan to convene an advisory committee meeting to discuss this application.

This application's acceptance marks a pivotal moment in our ambition to change the treatment paradigm for MAC lung disease patients. If full approval is granted, ARIKAYCE could reach patients earlier in their disease progression, including those newly diagnosed or facing recurrent infections.

In addition, Insmed plans to submit the ENCORE data to Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in the fourth quarter of 2026 to support a potential label expansion in Japan. If both submissions are successful, we would expect to launch ARIKAYCE under an expanded label in the U.S. and Japan in the first half of 2027. Label expansions that include all patients with MAC lung disease in the U.S. and Japan could increase ARIKAYCE's addressable market in each region from approximately 15,000 patients today to more than 100,000 patients in the future. This represents a potential total addressable market of more than 200,000 patients across the U.S. and Japan. We look forward to engaging with the FDA and the PMDA throughout these review processes.

Let me now turn to TPIP, which I believe will supercharge our growth as we close out this decade. Earlier this month, Insmed featured the global Phase III PALM clinical development program at the CHEST 2026 Annual Meeting. The PALM program, which is comprised of 4 Phase III studies in PH-ILD, PAH, PPF and IPF represents one of the broadest active clinical programs in the pulmonary space. If successful, TPIP, a once-daily inhaled Treprostinil prodrug could emerge as the prostanoid of choice for clinicians and patients. Let me provide an update on each study.

The PALM ILD study of TPIP and PH-ILD continues to enroll ahead of expectations. After enrolling its first patient in December of last year, the study is now more than 35% enrolled, reflecting the medical community's enthusiasm for the strength of TPIP's clinical profile. Based on these enrollment trends, we expect to complete enrollment no later than the first half of 2028, less than 2.5 years after initiation.

In the PALM PAH study, we are pleased to announce that we have enrolled our first patient and believe continued enrollment will benefit from the strength of our 12-month open-label extension data of TPIP in PAH patients presented in July.

In the third quarter, the PALM PPF study initiated its first site. The study remains on track to begin enrollment before the end of the year. And lastly, the PALM IPF study remains on track to be initiated in the first half of 2027. Turning now to the progress we're making in the rest of our pipeline.

As we prepare for the long-term success of Insmed, we continue to invest in our earlier-stage programs. In September, our second TPP1 candidate, INS1033 began actively recruiting patients in a Phase I healthy volunteer study. We expect data on pharmacokinetic exposure and blood NSP levels will be available next year. If these data are positive, we would progress into Phase II development in rheumatoid arthritis in 2027, followed by ulcerative colitis and COPD.

Also in 2027, we plan to initiate a Phase II development program for INS1148 in IPF. With plans to evaluate PPF and other diseases where inhibition of the pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic responses mediated by stem cell factor 248 may be beneficial.

Within our gene therapy portfolio, both our DMD and ALS programs continue to progress on track. Our Phase I ASCEND study of INS1201 in DMD is now fully enrolled, with 12 pediatric patients across four cohorts. We are encouraged by the data we have seen to date.

As a reminder, this study is evaluating two dose levels across two pediatric age groups with three patients in each cohort. INS1201 is designed for intrathecal delivery with the goal of minimizing liver exposure and delivering therapy directly to skeletal muscle and cardiac tissue. We look forward to sharing initial data from multiple cohorts within this program in 2027.

Our Phase I ARMOR study of INS1202 and ALS has progressed into Cohort 2 and is actively enrolling patients with both sporadic and SOD1 ALS. The study is expected to enroll up to 23 patients, three of which were already enrolled in Cohort 1, all with sporadic ALS and treated at the lowest dose. Cohort 2 is evaluating a middle dose in patients with both sporadic and SOD1 ALS with five patients planned in each group. If it is determined that patients can be safely dosed higher, we have the option to advance to Cohort 3, which would also enroll sporadic in SOD1 patients and evaluate them at the highest dose. We expect to share initial data from this program in 2027.

Before I turn the call over to Sara, let me take a moment to publicly thank her for being a critical part of the team that brought us to this position of strength. As today's results demonstrate, Insmed sits in as strong a position today as it ever has and Sara has played an important role in getting us here through the securing of capital, the creation and management of our internal financial architecture and the fielding and supporting of the collective inputs of the investment community. Sara remains as well regarded within Insmed as she does outside of it, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.

With that, let me turn the call over to Sara, who will walk you through our financial results.

Sara Bonstein

Thank you, Will. I'm pleased to share our third quarter 2026 financial results and updated guidance. BRINSUPRI produced $400.1 million in revenue in the third quarter up 29% sequentially from an exceptionally strong second quarter. ARIKAYCE produced $124.4 million in revenue this quarter, representing 9% annual growth compared to the third quarter of 2025.

Based on our strong performance to date, we are raising the low end of our revenue guidance for both our commercial products. For BRINSUPRI, full year revenue guidance of $1.35 billion to $1.4 billion represents a $50 million raise to the midpoint of our previous guidance range and reflects the strong execution and performance we have delivered to date. For ARIKAYCE, full year revenue guidance of $460 million to $470 million reflects the continued strength and durability of the franchise, which is now in its ninth year since launch.

We continue to view potential U.S. and Japan label expansions in 2027 as an important upside catalyst for ARIKAYCE.

On gross to nets, we are reiterating our 2026 guidance ranges for BRINSUPRI of mid- to high 20s and for ARIKAYCE of low to mid-20s. Both products have performed within these ranges to date.

As a reminder, the IRA small manufacturer provision has allowed us to delay the impact of covering catastrophic coverage calls for Medicare patients on ARIKAYCE over the last 2 years. increasing only 1% each year in 2025 and 2026.

According to the small manufacturer phase-in protocol, manufacturer coverage cost for Insmed will increase to 5% in 2027, which will expand ARIKAYCE's gross to net. These phase-in increases will continue annually until the maximum 20% of catastrophic coverage costs are covered by Insmed in 2031.

Moving now to the other relevant financial metrics for the third quarter. Positive product revenues was $78.2 million or 14.9% of revenues which is lower on a percentage basis than the 20.6% we saw in the third quarter of the prior year, reflecting the positive contribution of BRINSUPRI to the company's gross margin profile.

As expected, combined research and development and SG&A expenses increased 40% compared to the prior year period due to the necessary investments made to support the launch of BRINSUPRI and to continue to fund our pipeline. We continue to manage our investments thoughtfully as BRINSUPRI scales, balancing the opportunity in front of us with disciplined resource allocation.

Let me now spend a moment on our cash position and burn rate. As of the end of the third quarter, we had approximately $1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Combined with the continued strong performance of BRINSUPRI, this gives us a clear line of sight towards achieving cash flow positivity in 2027, even as we continue to be a growth story.

Before we open the call to your questions, I want to take a moment to share my deep appreciation for my time at Insmed. When I joined Insmed nearly 7 years ago, we were a single product company with enormous ambition. Today, we have transformed into a multiproduct company on track for cash flow positivity next year. I leave with immense pride in what we have built together and more importantly, in what this organization has accomplished for patients.

I want to close with two thank yous to the Insmed team, every milestone every patient reached every obstacle we navigated together, that is the work that matters and you are extraordinary. And to the financial community, your conviction, your capital and your willingness to believe in our mission made it possible to unlock this potential. Our financial foundation has never been stronger, thanks to your partnership.

With that, we would now like to open the call to your questions. Operator, may we please take the first question.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from the line of Gavin Clark-Gartner with Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.

分析师问答

Unknown Analyst

This is Yash on for Gavin. We understand you're not providing specific metrics, but directionally, we were wondering if you could speak to how discontinue patient trends are evolving as specialists earlier cohorts mature? Are you seeing them stabilize with the longer-term treatment and are newer cohorts tracking similarly?

William Lewis

Yes. Thanks for the question. I would tell you, all of the metrics are positive from my point of view. And I would say in specific response to your question about that. That is doing better than expected. And as we look out, and I know -- I'm sure the questions will come in about new patient starts, everything else, while we gave guidance that after a year, we were going to stop providing the specific metrics I just want to be very clear that, that is positive and where we are going next year. I think that's going to continue to grow.

So across the board, I feel very good about where we are, and I would just say, the things to look at are [ TRxs ] off the Symphony data, while October is not out yet, it's trending in the right way relative to what we see. And then as you look at revenue, those are the two things that I think matter for a product that's now already a blockbuster in its first year of launch.

Your next question comes from the line of Jessica Fye with JPMorgan.

Jessica Fye

Congrats on the quarter. Can we expect you to guide for BRINSUPRI in January, similar to what you've historically done for ARIKAYCE? And then on TPIP, congrats on the enrollment traction in the ILD trial. What time frame are you circling for top line data for that one in the PAH trial?

William Lewis

Yes. I'm just taking notes. So it's our usual practice to provide guidance if we're going to do it around your conference, frankly, and my expectation is that we would do that again looking at next year for BRINSUPRI as you asked.

On TPIP, we indicate that the enrollment will be completed by the first half of '28, no later than that. And so the data would come with whatever time it takes to sort of make sure the database is in submission ready form and all that kind of stuff.

It usually doesn't take that long. Our team is pretty good at flipping results. But once the full enrollment is taking place, then obviously, they have to go through the length of the trial and then we lock the database and do the primary endpoint. We'll get that done just as quickly as we can.

PAH just got started. It's hard to give guidance on when we think that's going to happen. The thing I'm going to be watching there as much as we have in ILD is how is the market of physicians responding to the data that we just put out.

We're hopeful that PAH because of the open-label data, we'll see acceleration in the enrollment time line as ILD did. Now obviously, PAH is more competitive in terms of the number of trials going on. But our data is really quite strong, and so we're pretty bullish on that. The ILD study, just to put it in a frame of reference relative to expectations is about 6 months ahead of schedule.

Your next question comes from the line of Faisal Khurshid with Jefferies.

Faisal Khurshid

Please go ahead. I understand you guys are not giving metrics. I just want to ask if you can speak at least qualitatively to what you're seeing and what investors should expect with respect to seasonal dynamics for this product? Like do you see anything meaningful that you can comment on so far with regards to how the summer shaped up compared to what you're seeing in the fall, for example? And also how that's kind of informing how you're thinking about the fourth quarter?

William Lewis

Yes. There's a lot of in around August and what was seen in Symphony data. I think the Symphony data is pretty accurate, but not always. And I would just say I think it's too early for us to make commentary about seasonality.

I don't think it's a big force to be honest. We didn't really see it in the clinical trial setting to any great degree. But we're going to know a lot more once we see this cold and flu season kick in and what that results in.

Do I think there's a theoretical possibility that, that could raise awareness about exacerbations and get people into their pulmonologists, I do. I think that's not an unreasonable thing to consider might happen. I don't know how that's going to play out in Q4 or into the early part of next year. But I would not model it a lot on seasonality until we can make something more definitive by way of a statement. And I think that won't be until probably the spring of next year, and we can look back at the totality of this time frame and comment on what we've seen.

The trends within the launch are incredibly strong. I just want to be crystal clear about that. And the metrics that we provided, as I've said, new patient starts, I think you will see that grow through next year. I think you're going to see the other metrics that we've talked about in the past, things like persistency, they are way ahead of benchmarks. And so we feel fantastic about the way this launch is looking.

If I could give one piece of insight, I think probably the most powerful force operating behind this launch is persistency. The patients who go on this drug, many of them feel better and they are staying on the drug. And that is -- you see that in a lot of the public commentary by patients. It's just it's -- things are going very, very well.

Faisal Khurshid

That's awesome. Thank you, Will. And yes, nice to have a little upside surprise with regard to Symphony. So I appreciate the progress you guys are making.

Your next question comes from the line of Andrea Newkirk with Goldman Sachs.

Andrea Tan

Please go ahead. And first, maybe, Sara, I'll just say thank you for your partnership and best of luck in your next leadership role.

Will, just as you think about forward growth for BRINSUPRI, what are you seeing on the evolution prescriber breadth versus depth? And what percentage would you estimate right now currently originate outside of those specialists and into the broader community pulmonology setting.

And then if I could squeeze one quick one in for Sara. Just on the path to cash flow positivity. If you could help us think about modeling expenses over the next year as the TPIP studies get underway and what quarterly product revenue threshold across BRINSUPRI and ARIKAYCE are you anticipating would be required to cross into operating cash flow breakeven?

William Lewis

So on the doctor's breadth and depth, what I would say there is, obviously, we're pushing for both, but there's a particular emphasis on depth among the physicians who are already writing, and I would make a further distinction between some of the centers of excellence and some of those doctors who are in robust places but are not necessarily considered, like National Jewish in terms of the prominence of their practice.

At places like National Jewish, almost every patient coming in who has bronchiectasis is being offered for super the rate limiter there is scheduling patients. So the volume that we can get out of there has been great as an example. There are others that are like that as well. But our breadth and depth opportunity, depth goes to the sort of groups behind those centers of excellence who have many patients and have now been -- are now in a place where we can say literally tens of thousands of patients have been put on this medicine the AE profile is incredibly benign, the reports of patients feeling better, although we can't detail on that are now ubiquitous. And the consequence of that is this medicine has a very favorable profile among the treating community.

And I think one of the contributions of [ Samuel Butera ], who has joined as our therapeutic area head for respiratory has been to really direct much more focused calling effort on certain pulmonology practices and generally to be more direct in the discussion about the benefit of this drug to patients in an appropriate and compliant way. What I mean by that is we now have ample evidence that going on this drug is going to provide benefit to patients beyond the clinical trial setting. The real-world evidence data is very strong behind this drug, and that's the message we need to be taking directly to physicians.

So depth first on many of the bigger practices, that lie below the centers of excellence, which are already almost maxed out and then opportunity for breadth as well. And now over to Sara to talk about the cash flow story.

Sara Bonstein

Great. Thanks for the question, and thanks for the kind words, Andrea, I always been a pleasure. A couple of things on cost, while I obviously won't be providing specific quarterly revenue numbers. What I will say is your sort of percentage of revenue to SG&A that we continue to see has the ability to continue to improve and see better and increase margins there.

The strong trajectory of the BRINSUPRI Super revenue, as you heard Will say in the prepared remarks and myself say that continues at being blockbuster status already, and we continue to that growth continue in subsequent years.

Specifically on expenses on TPIP. What you saw in our financials this year, is you actually saw some significant expenses in TPIP, and if you sort of go through sort of the MD&A section in the [ QLC ], you'll see we had to invest in manufacturing to get ready for those 4 Phase IIIs. And so while that investment, we won't we have now had that will then flip to the clinical trial investments.

So we feel really confident on our cash flow positivity next year given the trajectory of our revenue and we will invest appropriately as the science tells us to invest.

Your next question comes from the line of Ritu Baral with Cowen. Please go ahead.

Ritu Baral

Congratulations on the performance this quarter for BRINSUPRI. I wanted to ask about the comorbid population, Will, you mentioned that campaigns will be underway and some big numbers, I think 200 -- sorry, so just some big numbers on comorbid. And it doesn't seem to align with at least our KOL opinions of the undiagnosed, misdiagnosed comorbid population. Can you go into the specifics on awareness? And also, is that -- do you continue to believe that, that will start being a tailwind for BRINSUPRI in 2027?

William Lewis

Yes. So just so I can clarify, when you say it doesn't comport with what you've heard from KOLs, what is the frame of reference? Just -- I mean, is there anything I can react to specifically?

Ritu Baral

They just don't think there's that many of them that are comorbid or undiagnosed at least with bronchiectasis worth treating. So wondering what plan to sort of raise awareness on those numbers?

William Lewis

Yes. So I mean, where I would start is with what the medical community has already produced. It is a wide range so we can focus on the low end of the range to be conservative, but the literature right now suggests that between 4% and 64% of COPD patients, this is in published literature, are comorbid with bronchiectasis. And at the low end of that range, that would be 800,000 patients. So more than the existing diagnosed population.

We think it's actually higher than that. Most of the KOLs we've spoken to and it must be different from the folks you're speaking to. And these include people who are at centers of excellence for COPD and asthma estimated it's in the 20% range, which is why we think it's single-digit millions.

We're going to know with much more accuracy in the next, call it, year as we do a lot of refined work going into centers of excellence, retroactively looking at past CT scans, finding evidence of bronchiectasis, et cetera. We hear a loud volume that there is a lot of comorbidity. So I'm interested in where you're -- where that perspective is coming from. I'm sure it's somebody who has a point of view. But I just -- I think it's pretty overwhelming that these patients are out there. We had a get together in Germany, and I'll ask Martina to talk in a moment about the experience. But we brought in some experts from the COPD and asthma world at the World Bronchiectasis Conference and they flew in specifically to talk on this point and probably the best evidence we have that it's a real issue, and there's a lot of it is that they have already modified the gold guidelines for COPD that say if your patient is on max dose treatments and is still exacerbating that these guidelines now recommend they get a high-res CT scan to look for bronchiectasis. And if it's there to put them on BRINSUPRI. Martina, do you want to add anything?

Martina Flammer

Yes. Maybe, Ritu, this is speaking also about the importance of both physician and expert communities now to work together and look at their patient population. On what might be driving the disease. And if patients continue to exacerbate, is it the underlying PD? Or is it truly bronchiectasis and that importance of looking at what drives it and even asking that question is we're now COPD and experts join forces.

This is not only in Germany. This was the World Bronchiectasis Conference where the first of those meetings took place. It also has taken place in the second meeting now at test. And I think there is where we see the international community of those experts coming together.

Remember, when bronchiectasis -- when there was no treatment for bronchiectasis, it was not on top of mind of the pulmonary community. Now there is, and we've seen this with other areas of diseases, it solicits a different thinking about what is it that drives my patient. You have to ask the question of, if my patient is optimally treated for COPD, but they still exacerbate, what is it that's driving it?

And then you, as a second question, have to look, is there a diagnosis that I might not have seen or I might have actually seen it, but I have not done something about it. And that's what the COPD and CE community is right now discussing. And we can expect that they will, in due time, also take a position on that. But we are still at the early beginnings of it, but it's well recognized by the expert community, and it soon will be by the broader pulmonary community.

William Lewis

Yes. And I would just add one other thought, which is when we talk about COPD and asthma comorbidity with bronchiectasis, we're literally looking for bronchiectasis in those populations. And that means there's no additional clinical trial work we have to do to treat these patients. Once diagnosed with bronchiectasis, they are then eligible and on label for BRINSUPRI.

This is to be distinguished from the COPD patients we are targeting with 1033, assuming that the Phase I study next year goes as we expect it will, we will launch a Phase II study in COPD patients. Martina, do you want to talk a little bit about the profile of those patients and how they differ from patients who are comorbid with bronchiectasis.

Martina Flammer

Yes. If we think about the COPD population, most of COPD is driven by neutrophils as the inflammatory factor. They take here a leading role in COPD. So what we are looking for with 1033 is a new TPP1 is to address the drivers of disease in the inflammation of patients with UPD. It is not the bronchiectasis component, it is COPD as a disease, that is driven by neutrophils. This will be the focus in the indication that we pursue with 1033.

The reason we are feeling that there is a strong component of that is because there is an overlap of those type of disease pathophysiologies. So 1033 having already been from a mechanistic perspective, well characterized and with a good understanding about what BRINSUPRI does, we've known what the profiles are. It gives us already, I think, a better insight into how the development program goes. And this will be the focus as Will mentioned, on COPD as a stand-alone disease.

Your next question comes from the line of Jason Zemansky with Bank of America.

Jason Zemansky

Congrats on the great progress Well, maybe to connect a few dots here. We wanted to get a sense of how patient mix is evolving now that you're essentially a year into the launch. Are you seeing new starts from the diagnosed high exacerbators who are waiting? Or has there been a shift to those lower severe patients and earlier line use. And then what does this tell us about how much demand is still waiting to be treated, especially as you go deeper with existing prescribers?

William Lewis

Yes. I think we're going to encounter another leg of growth for this drug in this indication, as physicians adjust their mindset from treating their most severe patients, which is how they typically start with a new medicine and particularly a new mechanism, and the experience of that being so positive, and they shift to those who are perhaps less severe, more moderate.

That is a huge part of this market opportunity and getting that urgency to treat and not waiting for the exacerbation to do the permanent damage it will do is an important part of the therapeutic specialist discussions with physicians to make sure, hey, look, "this is a medicine that is working. Patients feel better on it in many occasions." And the consequence of that is you really should be thinking about this for your broader populations.

And as that begins to tip, I think we're going to see this become a default medicine for this condition as opposed to a patient comes in, they present with a certain profile and then the physician takes a proactive move to prescribe it. I think you're going to see this become a very cornerstone element of any bronchiectasis patients, as one physician said to me, and it's a quote I repeat over and over again, when I was at one of these conferences, he slapped me on the shoulder and said, how does it feel to have the statin for the lungs. And I think that's where this is going to go.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Joe Schwartz with Leerink Partners. Please go ahead.

Joseph Schwartz

Will and team, congrats on the strong performance. Sara. Thank you for the excellent financial leadership with branded marketing for BRINSUPRI, what are you assuming for the lift in new patient starts and the time it takes to see that response? And what return would you need to see before materially scaling that spend? And how are you measuring success of that initiative?

William Lewis

Yes. So direct-to-consumer advertising works typically. And so I think it particularly is effective when there is already a groundwork that has been done and laid for a perception of the medicine is very positive in the minds of the physician community, and there's good track record of success already in place. So I think this will give us a better chance to get an even greater return.

Typically, what you see if you were to do an AI search is somewhere in the 2 to 3x range return on capital, I think it could be higher than that in this case. But we'll see. We'll certainly be watching it very carefully. Do I expect it to lift demand? I do. And I think that will begin to show up in probably the first half of next year. We'll be tracking it very closely.

And we are, to be clear, not pulling from one area of advertising and going into DTC, this is additive. It is also going to be something that isn't just singularly, TV ads, we also have digital campaigns going on and other ways to vector in on both patients and physicians in an appropriate way. And so I think what you're going to see is a bigger push across the board, and I think that's going to an air benefit to the brand for sure.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Maxwell Skor with Morgan Stanley.

Maxwell Skor

Just following up on the comorbid COPD and asthma opportunity. identifying these patients seem to be 1 piece of the puzzle. Maybe you can elaborate a bit more on how AI is contributing to that effort. But on the other side, what has to change or do you see any challenges regarding reimbursement. And then finally, could you narrow potentially when we can expect greater visibility into this opportunity?

William Lewis

Sure. So the comorbid opportunity, I'm glad it's the subject of a lot of attention. I think this is really without a question of a doubt, the biggest opportunity sitting within Insmed today followed closely by TPIP when it is assuming the Phase III work as we have seen in Phase II what that opportunity represents. These two elements are going to drive growth at this company for the next decade.

When we look at identifying these patients, yes, we are working with AI tools to try to accomplish that -- there's -- it's a multilayer effort. We're going directly to some of the manufacturers of some of the machinery to try to see if it can get embedded within the software. We are talking to hospitals who set their rules for what happens when a patient comes in and gets a high-res CT scan. So hopefully increase the possibility that they could be included as a default examination.

Right now, if a radiologist is not asked to look for bronchiectasis, they may not identify it if it's there. So changing that, in light of the fact that there's now a medicine to treat it makes total sense for a hospital that will improve their outcome performance scores in all likelihood. There's a lot of benefit and a lot of momentum behind this, but this is an oil tanker. It's going to take a little while to turn. Your question is how will that ultimately result in patients coming into the top of the funnel as it were, that will begin to see, I think, in '27 and certainly in '28 and beyond. But this is a massive potential opportunity and one we intend to heavily resource.

Do I think it's going to change reimbursement. We haven't seen that yet. We don't expect that, that will be the case. The reality is that these patients are all on labeled. There's nothing that is a non-bronchiectatic patient in terms of a definitive diagnosis. And importantly, those patients as they come through right now, even for the insurance companies that do not have a deal with us as it were, and we're going through on medical exception, our approval rates continue to be exceptionally high.

So whether it's medical exception process or through what's required under their agreement, with the agreements we've reached the patients are getting approved, and this is out there as an understanding among physicians. So I don't anticipate that to be a friction point. If it gets to be so big that it becomes a friction point, that would be a welcome circumstance, I think, for everybody, most importantly, the patients.

And the visibility on when we're going to start to see it, as I said, sort of middle of next year, I think we're going to start to be able to quantify this with greater refinements, which I think will be helpful because it is quite a wide range right now. By any measure, we think it's a very substantial population that warrants the complete attention of a separate task force within the company and that's how it's staffed. So hopefully...

Your next question comes from the line of Leonid Timashev with RBC Capital Markets go ahead.

Leonid Timashev

I wanted to ask on the long-term studies that you're running some of these strategic collaborations. I guess, in particular for the BEST study, I guess, what is your expectation there? Are you broadly expecting the exacerbation rate to mirror what you saw in the clinical trials? Or is because the patient population may be different, you might see a different rate.

I guess what I'm getting at, is there any risk if patients don't perform as well to how physicians may view the drug? And then ultimately, is this something that you can get on label or into a publication that you can detail around?

William Lewis

Certainly, we expect that all the data that gets out from these studies will be circulated and in publications and that always helps a brand or a medicine. I think that long-term evidence is going to be particularly important as we move into a competitive field where the arrival of another company's TPP1 we presume, gets approved. We want to make sure that we have the ability to articulate the long-term benefit, including potentially modifying the disease, which is part of the intent behind the study in Europe. .

So there's a lot that's going to be learned from this. I don't anticipate different performance unless we have an overenrolled section that happens to be Asian patients, where we would expect it to be more than 3x more effective. But that's just sort of a quirky outcome from this medicine in those different populations, which we've now well documented and as have others. So that's an important distinction, particularly as you look at the mix of competitive TPP1 clinical trials that are run, we have a 68% reduction in exacerbations in Japanese patients.

So whatever else anyone brings forward, I would index to that reduction in exacerbations against their Asian population and then do a separate analysis for other patients because it affects people very, very differently.

But these long-term studies are intended to tease out some of those kinds of elements and look at the benefit over many years. to a large group of patients, and I think that's going to be nothing but a positive story.

Your next question comes from the line of Olivia Brayer with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Olivia Brayer

I also wanted to give a quick thanks to Sara for all her help and contributions over the year. On BRINSUPRI, given how strong the launch has been, has anything changed and how you guys are thinking about the addressable patient population? Is 250,000 still the right number for us to be thinking about? Or are you guys maybe starting to see that opportunity expand maybe even from BRINSUPRI driving awareness and diagnosis is being on the market.

And then I also wanted to follow up on TPIP. Will, you mentioned earlier that enrollment in the ILD study is tracking ahead of expectations. Can you give us a sense of how the monthly enrollment pace has evolved now that you have a lot more sites activated?

William Lewis

Sure. On BRINSUPRI, the addressable market is definitely growing. The last time we provided guidance, it was roughly $500,000 or 550,000 overall diagnosed non-CF bronchiectatic patients in the U.S. that was based on claims data, so it was very specific.

We certainly believe -- and that was 3 years ago. So we certainly believe it's grown since then. What are the drivers of growth? One driver is just population growth. The second driver is clearly the arrival of the medicine always brings patients out of the woodwork because up until now, they've had nothing to treat them, we saw this with ARIKAYCE as well, and that launch was very strong as a consequence of that patient finding exercise and the awareness of the medicine was finally available for these patients.

And then the third growth driver here is clearly patients who are less severe historically, but are now more aware of the exacerbations they're experiencing. They're doing a better job of reporting those exacerbations People are more aware of exacerbations and looking for them. Physicians and offices are asking patients about them. That's going to shift some patients from the mild to moderate less than 2 exacerbations in a given year to a greater number. And so that will increase the population of patients that are two or more, which is where we focused most of our efforts.

Remember that the label allows for any non-CF bronchiectatic patients to use the medicine. We focused on the moderate to severe based on our interaction with key opinion leaders we think that's -- those are the patients that are going to benefit the most out of the gate. But I do think this ultimately expands into broader populations. And I would expect that if all that takes place, you're going to see this population continue to grow at a healthy rate, and that is independent of the COPD and asthma comorbid patients we've talked about earlier.

Your question on TPIP, I think, was the monthly enrollment pattern. We don't -- that level of granularity, we're not going to get into, but I would just tell you that as time has gone on, and we saw this with our Phase II work the arrival of new data on TPIP definitely catalyzes an increased enrollment pattern in response. And so this summer, when we put out the open-label data in PAH that generates a noteworthy increase in interest and desire to enroll patients in both ILD and PAH.

So we're excited about that. I think the ability to for this medicine to be used once a day with essentially a single inhalation and to be able to provide higher levels of the medicine to titrate up to the patient's max tolerated dose. All the way up to 1,280, which is a very significant increase over what's available today. It's convenient. It's more medicine, it's better side effects. To date, what we've seen with this is nothing short of stunning. And I think that's going to continue. And as evidence of that gets circulated and physicians become more aware, it certainly accelerates their desire to get patients on the trial.
