Forward guidance

Akebia expects Auryxia full year 2024 net product revenues to be in line with 2023 Auryxia net product revenue levels and anticipates phosphate binders will be added to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services bundled payment for dialysis care in January 2025. Akebia expects its existing cash resources and cash from operations will be sufficient to fund its current operating plan, including the U.S. Vafseo launch, for at least two years.

Tailwinds

  • Akebia expects existing cash resources and cash from operations will be sufficient to fund its current operating plan for at least two years.

Headwinds

  • Vafseo sales in dialysis will be under contracts that include an off-invoice discount as well as volume-based tier discounts off the WAC price.
  • Akebia is exposed to risks associated with the potential demand and market potential and acceptance of, as well as coverage and reimbursement related to, Auryxia and Vafseo, including estimates regarding the potential market opportunity
  • Akebia is exposed to risks associated with the competitive landscape for Auryxia and Vafseo, including potential generic entrants
  • Akebia is exposed to risks associated with decisions made by health authorities, such as the FDA, with respect to regulatory filings
  • Akebia is exposed to risks associated with the potential therapeutic benefits, safety profile, and effectiveness of Vafseo
