BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2026-- Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: VRTX) today reported consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and updated its full year 2026 revenue guidance.

“Vertex delivered excellent second quarter results, expanding our leadership in cystic fibrosis; delivering strong revenue growth in sickle cell disease, beta thalassemia, and acute pain; and with the pending acquisition of Crinetics, adding rare endocrine diseases as our fifth pillar, further diversifying our portfolio,” said Reshma Kewalramani, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Vertex. “With this breadth of commercial and clinical opportunities, we look forward to bringing more medicines to more patients around the globe and in so doing, creating long-term value.”

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Total revenue increased 12% to $3.33 billion compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the continued performance of cystic fibrosis (CF) therapies and growth from diversification into additional disease areas. In the U.S., total revenue increased 11% to $2.06 billion due to continued strong CF patient demand, including from new initiations of ALYFTREK; higher realized net prices in CF versus the prior year; and contributions from CASGEVY and JOURNAVX. Outside the U.S., total revenue increased 14% to $1.28 billion due to strong CF performance across multiple geographies, including ALYFTREK uptake; increased CASGEVY infusions; and a favorable impact from foreign exchange.

Combined GAAP and non-GAAP R&D, Acquired IPR&D and SG&A expenses were $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025. These increases were primarily due to commercial investment to support the launch of JOURNAVX in acute pain and the build-out of the renal franchise, led by povetacicept in IgAN.

GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates were 21.0% and 21.1%, respectively, compared to 19.5% and 19.4%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025.

GAAP and non-GAAP net income were $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, compared to $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, for the second quarter of 2025, as a result of increased product revenue, partially offset by increased operating expenses.

Cash, cash equivalents, and total marketable securities as of June 30, 2026, were $13.6 billion, compared to $12.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to cash flows from operating activities, partially offset by repurchases of Vertex’s common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.

Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance

Vertex today raised its full year 2026 total revenue guidance to $13.1 billion to $13.2 billion from $12.95 billion to $13.1 billion previously. Embedded in this guidance are expectations for continued growth in CF, including the continued global uptake of ALYFTREK and TRIKAFTA, as well as $500 million or more in revenue from non-CF products, namely CASGEVY and JOURNAVX. Total revenue guidance continues to reflect a year-over-year benefit of approximately 150 basis points in growth from foreign exchange rates, net of Vertex’s foreign exchange hedging program. Vertex reiterated its full year 2026 guidance for combined GAAP and non-GAAP R&D, AIPR&D, and SG&A expenses of $6.3 billion to $6.45 billion and $5.65 billion to $5.75 billion, respectively. This guidance also continues to include an immaterial cost impact from tariffs in 2026 based on currently known tariff rates and regulations.

Vertex’s financial guidance for 2026 does not reflect the impact of the pending acquisition of Crinetics Pharmaceuticals. Vertex continues to anticipate completion of the acquisition in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, and will provide updated guidance for 2026 following transaction close.

Vertex’s financial guidance is summarized below:

	Current FY 2026		Previous FY 2026
Total revenue	$13.1 to $13.2 billion		$12.95 to $13.1 billion
Non-CF product revenue	Unchanged		$0.5 billion or greater
Combined GAAP R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses *	Unchanged		$6.3 to $6.45 billion
Combined non-GAAP R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses*	Unchanged		$5.65 to $5.75 billion
Non-GAAP effective tax rate	Unchanged		19.5% to 20.5%

*The difference between the combined GAAP R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses and the combined non-GAAP R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses guidance relates primarily to $650 million to $700 million of stock-based compensation expense.

**Combined GAAP and non-GAAP R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses guidance includes approximately $100 million of AIPR&D expenses.

Key Business Highlights

Marketed Products

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Portfolio

Vertex has worked for more than 20 years to discover and develop medicines to treat the underlying cause of CF. Vertex CFTR modulators can treat approximately 95 percent of all people living with CF in core markets, including patients as young as one month old. Our CF medicines are accessible in more than 60 countries across six continents. Recent highlights include:

• Vertex presented new data on ALYFTREK at the European Cystic Fibrosis Conference demonstrating the potentially transformative impact of treating cystic fibrosis with ALYFTREK in children 2 to 5 years of age. The Phase 3 data set shows that 65% of children in the study, including those with F/F and F/MF genotypes, reached carrier sweat chloride levels of <30 mmol/L, with a mean reduction in sweat chloride of 9.6 mmol/L from a baseline on TRIKAFTA. ALYFTREK was generally safe and well tolerated. Vertex recently initiated global regulatory submissions for this age group.
• In the second quarter of 2026, Vertex secured reimbursement for ALYFTREK in four additional countries, including Spain, bringing the total number of countries where ALYFTREK is reimbursed to 25. Vertex also signed a letter of intent with the Pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance for reimbursement of ALYFTREK for eligible patients 6 years and older in Canada.
• Vertex has submitted numerous abstracts for presentation at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference in October, including data on reductions in sweat chloride with CFTR modulators, reduced need for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy with ALYFTREK, and evidence of the positive impact of ALYFTREK on quality of life, treatment burden, treatment experience and overall health collected through patient-reported outcomes.

CASGEVY for the treatment of severe sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT)

CASGEVY is a non-viral, ex vivo, CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited cell therapy for eligible patients with SCD or TDT that has been shown to reduce or eliminate vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) for patients with SCD and transfusion requirements for patients with TDT. CASGEVY is approved in 39 countries across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Recent highlights include:

• Vertex recorded second quarter 2026 CASGEVY revenue of $76 million, representing 78% quarter-over-quarter sequential growth and 151% growth compared to the second quarter of 2025.
• The U.S. FDA recently approved CASGEVY in children 2 years of age and older with SCD or TDT, making it the first genetic therapy indicated for children as young as 2 years for both SCD and TDT. With this approval, achieved in just 53 days post filing, approximately 5,500 patients with SCD or TDT may be eligible for treatment with CASGEVY for the first time. Vertex has also completed regulatory submissions in KSA and the U.K. for the treatment of children 5 to 11 years of age.
• In May, Vertex secured reimbursement for CASGEVY for eligible patients 12 years and older with SCD or TDT in Germany. Vertex remains committed to working with government and reimbursement authorities globally to ensure sustainable access for eligible patients.

JOURNAVX (suzetrigine) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain

JOURNAVX is a first-in-class, oral, selective, non-opioid Na_V1.8 pain signal inhibitor, approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe acute pain. Recent highlights include:

• Vertex recorded second quarter 2026 JOURNAVX revenue of $50 million, representing 71% quarter-over-quarter sequential growth and more than quadrupling compared to $12 million in the second quarter of 2025.
• In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, approximately 535,000 and approximately 900,000 prescriptions, respectively, have been filled for JOURNAVX across the hospital and retail settings.
• Vertex has reached agreements with two additional major pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) for Medicare Part D coverage of JOURNAVX. As a result, seniors covered by three of the four major Medicare Part D PBMs now have reimbursed access. Twenty-three states provide coverage for JOURNAVX via Medicaid. In total, approximately 260 million individuals in the U.S. now have reimbursed access to JOURNAVX across a wide range of commercial and government payers.
• During the second quarter, Health Canada accepted Vertex’s new drug submission for suzetrigine for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain, and review is underway.
• Real world evidence in support of JOURNAVX (suzetrigine) continues to build, including the recent publication of “Suzetrigine as Part of Multimodal Therapy Enables Opioid-Free Recovery After Aesthetic or Reconstructive Procedures,” in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Select R&D Pipeline Programs

Cystic Fibrosis

• Consistent with its commitment to serial innovation and bringing as many patients as possible to carrier levels of CFTR function, Vertex is evaluating VX-828, the first of the next-generation 3.0 CFTR corrector class, in a proof-of-concept study in people with CF. Vertex completed dosing in this study and is on track to share results in the second half of 2026.
• Vertex is enrolling and dosing first-in-human studies in healthy volunteers with VX-581 and VX-272, additional next-generation 3.0 CFTR correctors. Vertex expects to study all three correctors in early-stage trials in people with CF and advance the best asset into further development.

Sickle Cell Disease and Transfusion-Dependent Beta Thalassemia

• Vertex continues to make progress on advancing preclinical assets for gentler conditioning for CASGEVY toward clinical trials. Gentler conditioning could broaden the eligible patient population for CASGEVY.

Acute and Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (PNP)

• Vertex is on track to complete enrollment in both Phase 3 studies of suzetrigine in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), a form of peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP), by the end of 2026.
• Vertex is on track to complete enrollment in a Phase 2 study of VX-993 in people with DPN by the end of 2026.
• Vertex continues to advance toward clinical trials preclinical assets that inhibit Na_V1.7 for use alone or in combination with a Na_V1.8 inhibitor in acute and neuropathic pain.

IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and Other B Cell-Mediated Diseases

Vertex is developing povetacicept for multiple diseases. Povetacicept is a dual inhibitor of the BAFF and APRIL cytokines, which play key roles in the pathogenesis of multiple B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. Povetacicept has pipeline-in-a-product potential and represents a potentially best-in-class approach to control B cell activity in IgAN, primary membranous nephropathy (pMN), and generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).

• The U.S. FDA accepted the BLA submission for accelerated approval of povetacicept for adults with IgAN and assigned a PDUFA target action date of November 30, 2026. The submission is supported by positive data from a pre-specified Week 36 interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 3 RAINIER trial of povetacicept in IgAN. If approved, povetacicept will become the first commercialized therapy in Vertex’s emerging nephrology pillar.
• Vertex has completed its regulatory submission for accelerated approval of povetacicept in adults with IgAN in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority has granted povetacicept Breakthrough Designation.
• Vertex completed the Phase 2B portion of the Phase 2/3 OLYMPUS pivotal study of povetacicept in people with pMN and confirmed the dose selection of 80 mg subcutaneously every four weeks for the Phase 3 portion, which is underway. The FDA has granted Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations for povetacicept in pMN, and the EMA has granted Priority Medicines (PRIME) designation.
• Vertex continues to enroll and dose the placebo-controlled, Phase 2 dose-ranging proof-of-concept study evaluating povetacicept for the treatment of gMG. Vertex is on track to complete enrollment in this study by the end of 2026.

APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD)

Vertex has discovered and advanced multiple oral, small molecule inhibitors of APOL1 function, pioneering a new class of medicines that targets the underlying cause of this genetic kidney disease.

• The AMPLITUDE study is on track to complete full enrollment in the second half of 2026.
• Vertex is on track to share data from the interim analysis of the AMPLITUDE study in early 2027. Vertex will conduct the pre-planned interim analysis for potential U.S. accelerated approval after the interim analysis cohort reaches 48 weeks of treatment.
• Vertex has completed enrollment and dosing in the AMPLIFIED Phase 2 study of inaxaplin and is on track to share data this fall. AMPLIFIED is a study of inaxaplin in people with AMKD with moderate proteinuria, and people with AMKD and Type 2 diabetes — populations not being studied in the AMPLITUDE trial.

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)

Vertex is evaluating stem cell-derived, fully differentiated islet cell therapies for patients suffering from T1D, with the goal of developing a potential one-time functional cure for this disease.

• The Phase 1/2/3 study of zimislecel in people with T1D continues to enroll and dose patients.
• The IND application for VX-017 has been cleared by the FDA, and Vertex plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VX-017 in people with T1D in the near term. VX-017 is a stem cell-derived, fully differentiated islet cell therapy designed to treat all eligible patients with T1D, regardless of blood type.
• Following recent positive regulatory interactions, the company expects to provide updated timelines for the zimislecel and VX-017 programs later this year.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

Vertex is developing small molecule correctors that restore function to polycystin 1 (PC1) protein variants, with the goal of addressing the underlying cause of ADPKD.

• Vertex has completed enrollment in AGLOW, a Phase 2 study of VX-407 in patients with a subset of variants in the PKD1 gene, which encodes the PC1 protein, estimated to be up to approximately 30,000 (or up to approximately 10%) of the overall patient population living with ADPKD.
• AGLOW is a 26-patient, single-arm, 52-week, Phase 2 proof-of-concept study that will evaluate the effect of VX-407 on height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV).

Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)

Vertex is evaluating multiple approaches that target the underlying cause of DM1. Vertex’s lead approach, VX-670, is an oligonucleotide linked to a cyclic peptide, which holds the potential to promote effective delivery into cells and address the causal biology of DM1.

• Vertex recently completed enrollment and continues to dose people with DM1 in the multiple ascending dose portion of the GALILEO global Phase 1/2 clinical trial of VX-670. The study is assessing both safety and preliminary efficacy, as measured by the change from baseline in the splicing index on muscle biopsy as well as other endpoints, including those that evaluate muscle function and strength, such as video hand opening time (vHOT) and quantitative muscle testing (QMT) score. Vertex is on track to complete dosing in the trial and share results in the second half of 2026.

Additional Earlier Stage R&D Programs

Consistent with its overall strategy, Vertex takes a serial innovation approach to all of its programs, with additional assets or approaches across its portfolio.

Investments in External Innovation

In July, Vertex and Crinetics Pharmaceuticals entered into a definitive agreement under which Vertex will acquire Crinetics for $85.00 per share in cash, for a total equity value of approximately $10.0 billion, or approximately $8.8 billion net of estimated cash acquired. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, Vertex's financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, non-GAAP financial results and guidance exclude from Vertex's pre-tax income (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) intangible asset amortization expense, (iii) gains or losses related to the fair value of the company's strategic investments, (iv) increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration, (v) an intangible asset impairment charge, and (vi) other adjustments. The company's non-GAAP financial results also exclude from its provision for income taxes the estimated tax impact related to its non-GAAP adjustments to pre-tax income described above and certain discrete items. These results should not be viewed as a substitute for the company’s GAAP results and are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the company's business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and provide additional information regarding the company's financial position that the company believes is helpful to an understanding of its ongoing business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals that are communicated internally and externally, to manage the company's business and to evaluate its performance. The company’s calculation of non-GAAP financial measures likely differs from the calculations used by other companies. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the attached financial information.

The company provides guidance regarding combined R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses and effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis. Unless otherwise noted, the guidance regarding combined R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A expenses does not include estimates associated with any potential future business development transactions, including collaborations, asset acquisitions and/or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights. The guidance does not reflect the impact of the pending acquisition of Crinetics Pharmaceuticals. The company does not provide guidance regarding its GAAP effective tax rate because it is unable to forecast with reasonable certainty the impact of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the possibility of certain discrete items, which could be material.
