CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blueprint Medicines Corporation (Nasdaq: BPMC) today reported financial results, provided a business update for the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2024, and provided updated financial guidance.
"With another strong quarter of AYVAKIT revenue performance, our year-to-date results provide the foundation to drive significant growth and long-term shareholder value creation in 2025 and beyond. AYVAKIT's sales momentum has given us the confidence to raise our revenue expectations again this year, estimating that we will end the year between $475 million and $480 million dollars. Ending our first full year of launch at nearly half a billion dollars in revenue positions AYVAKIT to be one of the most successful rare disease launches to-date," said Kate Haviland, Chief Executive Officer of Blueprint Medicines. "AYVAKIT has demonstrated tangible benefits to patients globally, with long-term data further reinforcing the clinically meaningful benefits and well-tolerated profile of a disease-modifying treatment. AYVAKIT's strong revenue ramp coupled with disciplined investment in our most compelling product opportunities, places Blueprint Medicines in a position to realize the significant decline in cash burn this year, while maintaining our focus on long-term growth and value creation."

2024 Financial Guidance
Blueprint Medicines now anticipates approximately $475 million to $480 million in global AYVAKIT net product revenues in 2024, an increase from the previous range of $435 million to $450 million. This updated guidance is based on continued growth in patients on therapy, continued favorability in compliance and other performance factors, and stronger than expected performance outside of the U.S. The company continues to expect that full-year operating expenses and cash burn will decline in 2024 as compared to 2023, and that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with anticipated product revenues, will enable the company to maintain a durable capital position to achieve a self-sustainable financial profile.
Key Upcoming Milestones
The company plans to achieve the following remaining milestones by the end of 2024:

About Blueprint Medicines
Blueprint Medicines is a global, fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that invents life-changing medicines. We seek to alleviate human suffering by solving important medical problems in two core focus areas: allergy/inflammation and oncology/hematology. Our approach begins by targeting the root causes of disease, using deep scientific knowledge in our core focus areas and drug discovery expertise across multiple therapeutic modalities. We have a track record of success with two approved medicines, including AYVAKIT®/AYVAKYT® (avapritinib) which we are bringing to patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM) in the U.S. and Europe. Leveraging our established research, development, and commercial capability and infrastructure, we now aim to significantly scale our impact by advancing a broad pipeline of programs ranging from early science to advanced clinical trials in mast cell diseases including SM and chronic urticaria, breast cancer and other solid tumors.
