AI Insight: KRYS Financial Trends
Krystal Biotech delivers 66% revenue growth and sixfold operating income expansion over eight quarters, with Q1 2026 setting records across all key metrics.
• Revenue grew from $70M in Q2 2024 to $116M in Q1 2026, a 66% increase over eight quarters with no quarterly decline.
• Operating income expanded from $9M in Q2 2024 to $54M in Q1 2026, with operating margin rising from ~13% to ~47%.
• Operating cash flow surged to $80M in Q1 2026, the highest in the dataset, recovering sharply from a negative $4M in Q2 2024.
• Equity compounded from $839M in Q2 2024 to $1,277M in Q1 2026, reflecting consistent retained earnings accumulation with no visible debt load.
⚠ Net income jumped to $79M in Q3 2025 then fell to $51M in Q4 2025 and $56M in Q1 2026 — the Q3 spike warrants scrutiny for one-time items.
⚠ Total debt data is absent across all periods; any future leverage introduction could materially alter the balance-sheet picture.
⚠ Sequential revenue growth is decelerating — Q3-to-Q4 2025 gain was $9M versus $18M the prior year — worth monitoring for signs of market saturation.
AI Insight: KRYS Ratio Trends
Krystal Biotech's operating margin hit 46.1% in Q1 2026, the highest single-quarter level in the dataset, while ROIC climbed to 16.8% — signaling sustained commercial momentum for Vyjuvek.
• Operating margin expanded dramatically from 12.2% in Q2 2024 to 46.1% in Q1 2026, reflecting strong operating leverage as revenue scaled.
• ROIC surged from 4.1% in Q2 2024 to 16.8% in Q1 2026, indicating increasingly efficient capital deployment over six quarters.
• ROA improved from 6.8% in Q2 2024 to 16.0% in Q1 2026, consistent with a maturing, asset-light commercial-stage business.
⚠ Q3 2025 NPM spiked to 81.2% versus ~40–50% in surrounding quarters, suggesting a one-off gain; sustainability of net income quality warrants scrutiny.
⚠ D/E is unavailable across all periods, leaving leverage and balance-sheet risk unassessable — a gap investors should independently verify.
⚠ ROE dipped from 19.2% in Q4 2024 to 14.5% in Q1 2025 before partially recovering to 17.5% in Q1 2026 — quarter-to-quarter volatility remains elevated.
