Collegium Pharmaceutical , Inc. (Nasdaq: NASDAQ:COLL), a leading, diversified specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced its 2024 full-year financial guidance and provided a business update.
“2023 was a banner year for Collegium. We are on track to grow revenue over 20% and adjusted EBITDA over 35% in 2023 compared to 2022, leading to strong cash flow generation that enabled us to rapidly pay down debt and opportunistically repurchase shares. Our operational accomplishments position the Company to deliver top- and bottom-line growth in 2024 and strengthen our outlook for 2025 and 2026,” said Joe Ciaffoni, President and Chief Executive Officer of Collegium. “In 2024, we are focused on operational execution, which includes achieving our financial commitments and deploying capital to create value for shareholders.”
“We expect record revenue, driven by Belbuca® and Xtampza® ER growth, and disciplined operating spend, to result in record adjusted EBITDA in 2024,” said Colleen Tupper, Chief Financial Officer of Collegium. “We plan to deploy capital to rapidly pay down debt and opportunistically utilize our new $150 million share repurchase program to return value to our shareholders.”
