RNA-medicine pioneer inflecting to independent commercial launches: revenue +34%, narrowing losses, deep Phase 3 pipeline at 13x sales.

Total revenue $944M · FY2025

Ionis is at a strategic inflection from a royalty/collaboration model to an independent commercial company. FY2025 revenue grew 33.8% to $944M, with commercial revenue up 49% driven by the first independent product launches — TRYNGOLZA ($107.5M net) and DAWNZERA ($7.8M) — plus growing WAINUA royalties (now $49.1M) on top of the SPINRAZA royalty base ($212.3M). The net loss narrowed 16.0% to $381M and loss from operations improved to -$382M from -$475M, even as R&D spending held at $916M to advance a pipeline management describes as nine Phase 3 programs and seven marketed medicines.
