CEO Commentary
“The second quarter marked another period of robust growth in our hypercortisolism business. We had a record number of new prescribers and new patients receiving treatment, reflecting increasing physician recognition of hypercortisolism's prevalence and the necessity of appropriate treatment. However, our financial results don’t fully reflect this surge in demand due to our specialty pharmacy vendor's capacity constraints. We anticipate improved performance from our current vendor and contributions from a second pharmacy coming online soon,” said Joseph K. Belanoff, M.D., Chief Executive Officer.

Guidance
Corcept has modified its 2025 revenue guidance to a range of $850 million to $900 million. The CEO expressed optimism regarding the company's outlook, anticipating improved performance from specialty pharmacy vendors contributing to revenue growth in the coming quarters. The company expects that the increasing recognition of hypercortisolism and the associated treatment demand will positively impact future performance.
