Travere Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:TVTX) shares surged 13.44% to $63.55 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the biopharmaceutical company posted second-quarter revenue that beat analyst expectations, even as earnings missed.
Revenue Beat Drives Momentum
For the period ended Jun. 30, Travere reported total revenue of $169.58 million, exceeding analyst expectations of $159.32 million by 6.44%.
U.S. net product sales increased to $161.4 million, compared with $94.8 million a year earlier. Sales of flagship drug FILSPARI reached $141.1 million, marking a 96% year-over-year increase.
Wider Loss Doesn’t Dent Investor Enthusiasm
Earnings per share for the biotech came in at a loss of $0.10, falling short of the analyst estimate of $0.23 by 143.5%.
Net loss also widened to $34.8 million from $12.8 million last year, partly reflecting a $40 million charge tied to 2029 convertible note repurchases.
