Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth for Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) over the next 2-3 years:
-
Continued Growth of YUPELRI (revefenacin) Sales: YUPELRI, a once-daily nebulized LAMA for COPD, has consistently demonstrated strong growth. In Q3 2025, U.S. net sales reached an all-time high of $71.4 million, increasing 15% year-over-year, driven by 6% year-over-year customer demand growth and improved net pricing due to a favorable channel mix.

Theravance Biopharma's implied 35% share of YUPELRI net sales also increased by 15% in Q3 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The company is also on track to trigger a $25 million milestone payment from Viatris if YUPELRI achieves $250 million in U.S. net sales for 2025.

TRELEGY ELLIPTA Milestone Payments: While Theravance Biopharma sold its remaining royalty interest in TRELEGY ELLIPTA to GSK, it is still eligible for significant milestone payments based on global net sales. The company is on track to receive a $50 million milestone payment in 2025 if TRELEGY global net sales exceed approximately $3.4 billion. Furthermore, a $100 million milestone payment is anticipated in 2026 if global net sales reach approximately $3.5 billion.

Potential Launch of Ampreloxetine: Ampreloxetine, an investigational treatment for symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), is a key pipeline asset. The open-label portion of the pivotal Phase 3 CYPRESS study is complete, and top-line data are expected in Q1 2026. Positive results could lead to an expedited New Drug Application (NDA) and a request for priority review, potentially paving the way for a new product launch and significant revenue generation in the future.
-
International Expansion of YUPELRI: The approval of YUPELRI in China in Q2 2025 triggered a $7.5 million milestone payment from Viatris. This market expansion presents an opportunity for future revenue growth through tiered royalties of 14% to 20% on Chinese sales.
