• Q2 Net Loss of $127M

  The net loss widened to $127.1M from $100.7M a year ago, driven by a $34.8M increase in SG&A as the company built out its commercial infrastructure for the Lumvoa launch.

• Cash Position of $982M

  Cash, equivalents, and marketable securities stood at $981.5M as of June 30, 2026, up from $762.2M at March 31, 2026, following the May 2026 convertible and equity financing. Management expects this to fund operations through profitability.

• Lumvoa Launch Off to Strong Start

  As of July 31, 2026, the field sales team had engaged 95% of 2,000 core prescribing physicians, the first doses were administered in July, and patient enrollment forms indicate broad physician demand.

• Elegrobart BLA Submission on Track for Q1 2027

  The BLA submission timeline for elegrobart, a subcutaneous autoinjector for TED, remains Q1 2027, with the current commercial infrastructure expected to support a potential launch with limited incremental investment.

In its first quarterly report as a commercial-stage company, Viridian posted a $127M net loss but maintains a fortress balance sheet with $982M in cash. The early Lumvoa launch metrics—95% physician engagement and first doses administered—offer the first real-world signal on commercial execution. With elegrobart on track for a Q1 2027 BLA, the cash runway through profitability removes near-term financing risk, making this a pivotal update for the investment thesis.
