The company achieved net product revenue of $169,117, a substantial increase from $27,963 in 2023, following the FDA approval and commercial launch of LUMRYZ in June 2023. Gross profit rose to $153,840, while operating expenses increased to $196,239, driven by costs associated with the commercial launch and increased headcount.
