“Yet another strong quarter of performance reflects the consistent execution of our corporate strategy and further strengthens our financial position. ZORYVE continues to lead the branded non-steroidal topical segment driven by its efficacy and tolerability across multiple inflammatory skin conditions and patient populations. We are very excited to launch a new awareness campaign with Simone Biles, a World Champion gymnast who uses ZORYVE herself, to raise awareness of inflammatory skin diseases and of advanced targeted topicals like ZORYVE,” said Frank Watanabe, president and chief executive officer. “Looking ahead, with a potential FDA approval of ZORYVE cream 0.05% for infants as young as 3 months in the first quarter of 2027, the progress of our indication expansion trials, and the advancement of our ARQ-234 Phase 1 trial, we are well positioned to drive continued growth.”
