Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revealing a decline in total revenues and net income compared to the same periods in 2023. For Q3 2024, total revenues were $91.6 million, down from $113.7 million in Q3 2023. The nine-month revenue also decreased to $260.9 million from $325.2 million in the prior year. The decline in revenue was primarily attributed to a $21.2 million decrease in net profits from the sale of LINZESS, driven by reduced net pricing and changes in sales reserves and allowances.
Despite the revenue drop, Ironwood's total costs and expenses for Q3 2024 decreased to $66.0 million from $73.7 million in Q3 2023. This led to an income from operations of $25.6 million, down from $40.0 million in the same quarter last year. Net income for Q3 2024 was $3.6 million, a significant decrease from $14.0 million in Q3 2023. For the nine-month period, Ironwood reported a net loss of $1.4 million, an improvement from a substantial loss of $1.03 billion in the same period in 2023.
The company’s balance sheet showed total current assets of $178.6 million as of September 30, 2024, down from $233.3 million at the end of 2023. Total assets also decreased to $389.5 million from $471.1 million. However, total current liabilities saw a significant reduction to $49.4 million from $276.1 million, resulting in an improved stockholders’ deficit of $(311.3 million) compared to $(346.3 million) at the end of 2023.
Ironwood's strategic developments included the acquisition of VectivBio Holding AG, completed in June 2023 for approximately $1.2 billion, which has positioned the company to advance treatments for rare gastrointestinal conditions. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under a revolving credit facility and cash on hand. In September 2024, Ironwood decided not to exercise its option to acquire an exclusive license for CNP-104, terminating the collaboration agreement with COUR Pharmaceutical.
Research and development expenses for Q3 2024 were $29.8 million, a decrease from $33.0 million in Q3 2023, while for the nine months, R&D expenses increased to $86.0 million from $80.4 million. The company continues to focus on its gastrointestinal healthcare products, particularly LINZESS, which remains a significant revenue driver through collaborations with AbbVie and other partners.
