Conference Call and Webcast to be Held Today at 8:30 a.m. ET
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRMY) today announced plans to announce topline data from its phase 3 registrational clinical trial of ZYN002 in Fragile X syndrome in Q3 2025. The company also announced 16% year-over-year revenue growth for WAKIX® in Q2 2025, driven by strong patient adds of 400 for the quarter, continuing its trajectory toward blockbuster status in narcolepsy and a potential $1B+ market opportunity. The company continues to build on four consecutive years of revenue growth and profitability. With over $672 million in cash and investments, Harmony has further strengthened its financial position, solidifying its unique profile as a profitable, self-funding biotech company with a robust, late-stage pipeline and strong long-term growth potential.
“The approximately 80,000 U.S. families in the Fragile X community have been waiting far too long for a treatment that addresses the core symptoms of this serious condition. We are on track to announce the Phase 3 readout for ZYN002 in the third quarter, which represents a potentially transformative moment for these patients and for Harmony. With global rights to this product, if successful, we see a meaningful opportunity to address this significant unmet medical need both in the U.S. and around the world,” said Jeffrey M. Dayno, M.D., President and CEO of Harmony Biosciences. “Based on the strength of our commercial business, our continued profitability and commitment to patients, Harmony is building a commercially durable business with a robust pipeline and clear path to delivering long-term value for patients, providers, and shareholders alike.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Harmony Biosciences reported net product revenue of $200.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $172.8 million for the same period in 2024, representing 16% year-over-year growth. This performance was primarily driven by strong commercial sales of WAKIX, reflecting both continued organic demand within the large narcolepsy market opportunity (approximately 80,000 diagnosed patients in the U.S.) and the product's broad clinical utility. Our commercial efforts reached approximately 9,000 healthcare providers during the quarter, including about 5,000 who do not participate in an oxybate REMS program, demonstrating successful penetration across both traditional and expanded prescriber bases.
On a GAAP basis, net income for the quarter was $39.8 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in Q2 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net income, which we believe better reflects our core business performance, was $53.8 million ($0.92 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2025 versus $24.5 million ($0.43 per diluted share) for the comparable 2024 period. This represents a 116% increase in adjusted profitability, highlighting our ability to grow both top-line revenue and bottom-line results while maintaining investments in our late-stage pipeline programs.
Reconciliations of applicable GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release.
Harmony’s operating expenses include the following:
As of June 30, 2025, Harmony had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $672.3 million, compared to $576.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
2025 Net Product Revenue Guidance

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our GAAP results, we present certain Non-GAAP measures including Non-GAAP adjusted net income and Non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, which we believe provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, and the manner in which we calculate Non-GAAP adjusted net income and Non-GAAP adjusted net income per share may not be identical to the manner in which other companies calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share. We use these Non-GAAP measurements as an aid in monitoring our financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year and benchmarking against comparable companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of our Non-GAAP financial measures; and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of our Non-GAAP financial measures.
About WAKIX® (pitolisant) Tablets
WAKIX, a first-in-class medication, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and for the treatment of EDS in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with narcolepsy. It was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of narcolepsy in 2010, and breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of cataplexy in 2018. WAKIX is a selective histamine 3 (H₃) receptor antagonist/inverse agonist. The mechanism of action of WAKIX is unclear; however, its efficacy could be mediated through its activity at H₃ receptors, thereby increasing the synthesis and release of histamine, a wake promoting neurotransmitter. WAKIX was designed and developed by Bioprojet (France). Harmony has an exclusive license from Bioprojet to develop, manufacture and commercialize pitolisant in the United States.
Indications and Usage
WAKIX is indicated for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with narcolepsy.
Important Safety Information
Contraindications
WAKIX is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pitolisant or any component of the formulation. Anaphylaxis has been reported. WAKIX is also contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Warnings and Precautions
WAKIX prolongs the QT interval; avoid use of WAKIX in patients with known QT prolongation or in combination with other drugs known to prolong the QT interval. Avoid use in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as other circumstances that may increase the risk of the occurrence of torsade de pointes or sudden death, including symptomatic bradycardia, hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, and the presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval.
The risk of QT prolongation may be greater in patients with hepatic or renal impairment due to higher concentrations of pitolisant; monitor these patients for increased QTc. Dosage modification is recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment and moderate or severe renal impairment. WAKIX is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Adverse Reactions
In the placebo-controlled clinical trials conducted in patients with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy, the most common adverse reactions (≥5% and at least twice placebo) for WAKIX were insomnia (6%), nausea (6%), and anxiety (5%). Other adverse reactions that occurred at ≥2% and more frequently than in patients treated with placebo included headache, upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, heart rate increased, hallucinations, irritability, abdominal pain, sleep disturbance, decreased appetite, cataplexy, dry mouth, and rash.
In the placebo-controlled phase of the clinical trial conducted in pediatric patients 6 years and older with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy, the most common adverse reactions (≥5% and greater than placebo) for WAKIX were headache (19%) and insomnia (7%). The overall adverse reaction profile of WAKIX in the pediatric clinical trial was similar to that seen in the adult clinical trial program.
Drug Interactions
Concomitant administration of WAKIX with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors increases pitolisant exposure by 2.2-fold. Reduce the dose of WAKIX by half.
Concomitant use of WAKIX with strong CYP3A4 inducers decreases exposure of pitolisant by 50%. Dosage adjustments may be required.
H1 receptor antagonists that cross the blood-brain barrier may reduce the effectiveness of WAKIX. Patients should avoid centrally acting H1 receptor antagonists.
WAKIX is a borderline/weak inducer of CYP3A4. WAKIX may reduce the effectiveness of sensitive CYP3A4 substrates, including hormonal contraceptives. Patients using hormonal contraception should be advised to use an alternative non-hormonal contraceptive method during treatment with WAKIX and for at least 21 days after discontinuing treatment.
Use in Specific Populations
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women who are exposed to WAKIX during pregnancy. Patients should be encouraged to enroll in the WAKIX pregnancy registry if they become pregnant. To enroll or obtain information from the registry, patients can call 1-800-833-7460.
The safety and effectiveness of WAKIX have not been established for treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in pediatric patients less than 6 years of age with narcolepsy.
The safety and effectiveness of WAKIX have not been established for treatment of cataplexy in pediatric patients with narcolepsy.
WAKIX is extensively metabolized by the liver. WAKIX is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Dosage adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment.
WAKIX is not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease. Dosage adjustment of WAKIX is recommended in patients with eGFR
