## Cross-quarter narrative

Across the nine earnings calls Jazz’s narrative shifted from a focus on temporary revenue dips and early‑stage trial timing to a broader emphasis on record revenue growth, expanding product launches and advancing late‑stage oncology assets. Early calls highlighted a dip in Rylaze revenue due to pediatric protocol shifts and regulatory uncertainty around zanidatamab and Epidiolex Japan. By Q4 2024 the company celebrated a $4 billion revenue milestone, Ziihera approval and continued strong demand across sleep, epilepsy and oncology, while noting trial‑readout delays. In 2025 the Chimerix acquisition and dordaviprone pipeline entered the spotlight, with mixed regulatory outlooks for zanidatamab, Zepzelca and dordaviprone. Q3 2025 introduced Modeyso launch and a top‑line zanidatamab readout, but also warned of upcoming generic competition for Xywav. The 2026 calls reflected a raised full‑year outlook driven by Xywav and oncology sales, yet underscored lingering regulatory risk for zanidatamab, potential generic erosion, and trial timing uncertainties for ACTION. Overall, the company moved from managing short‑term revenue volatility to positioning for sustained growth through product launches and late‑stage approvals, while regulatory and competitive risks remain persistent.

## Latest CallCard · Q2

Jazz Pharma posted record $1.21B Q2 revenue, 16% growth, raised full‑year guidance on strong Xywav and oncology sales, and highlighted upcoming zanidatamab approval and pipeline milestones.

**Guidance:** raised — Full‑year revenue guidance lifted to $4.60‑$4.75B, driven by Xywav performance and oncology momentum.

**Tone:** mgmt 0.8 · Q&A pressure 0.4 · divergence 0.4

Prepared remarks emphasized record revenue, growth momentum and confidence in upcoming zanidatamab launch, reflecting an optimistic outlook.

### Demand visibility

Robust demand for Xywav and Epidiolex with strong patient adds.

Xywav added ~525 net patients (200 narcolepsy, 325 IH) and Epidiolex saw 12% volume growth, both supported by field campaigns and digital outreach; generics remain limited.

### Margins / costs

Margins pressured by royalty‑bearing products and higher SG&A/R&D spend.

Non‑GAAP gross margin fell slightly due to Zepzelca and Modeyso royalties; SG&A and R&D rose 11% driven by Modeyso, zanidatamab trials and commercial capability investments.

### Capital allocation

Continued disciplined investment in R&D, external collaborations and commercial capabilities.

Capital deployed to AbCellera preclinical T‑cell engager deal, patient‑support programs, media spend for Xywav, Epidiolex capsule development, and pipeline trial funding.

### Milestones

- **Zanidatamab PDUFA submission** [new]: PDUFA date set for Aug 25 2026; management confident of approval on or before that date.
- **Zanidatamab NEJM publication** [delivered]: Phase III Horizon GEA 01 results published, supporting adoption.
- **Zanidatamab interim OS analysis** [at_risk]: Second interim overall‑survival readout expected in 3Q 2026.

- **AbCellera preclinical collaboration** [new]: Deal leverages T‑cell engager platform to discover novel multispecific antibodies.

### Fears / risks

- **Regulatory**: Potential delay in zanidatamab approval despite management confidence.
- **Generic competition**: High‑sodium oxybate generics could erode Xywav market share over time.
- **Reimbursement**: Securing permanent J‑code and payer agreements for zanidatamab launch.
- **Clinical trial timing**: ACTION trial interim analysis pushed to first half of 2027.
- **Inventory**: No significant inventory issues for Epidiolex, but monitoring continues.
- **FX impact**: Currency fluctuations boosted prior quarter results; reversal could affect growth.
- **Market adoption**: Community physician uptake of zanidatamab may lag academic centers.
- **Competitive landscape**: Emerging antiseizure therapies could challenge Epidiolex market share.

### Key quotes

> “We delivered another outstanding quarter, generating record revenue of $1.2 billion representing 16% year-over-year growth.” — Renée Galá

> “Xywav net product sales increased 13% to $471 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.”

> “Our non-GAAP adjusted gross margin declined slightly year-on-year, due to higher sales of Zepzelca and Modeyso, which carry third-party royalties.”

> “Probably leading to even slower uptake of generics than we might have originally anticipated, which is leading to some of the raise we have for the guidance this year.”
