What to expect from GW Pharmaceuticals’ Q3 2019 earnings report?

GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: GWPH) is slated to report third quarter 2019 earnings results on Tuesday, November 5, after the market closes. Analysts expect the company to report a loss of $0.85 per share on revenue of $85.3 million.

Last month, GW received European Commission approval for EPIDYOLEX for the treatment of seizures. The company plans to launch Epidyolex in France, Germany and the UK in the fourth quarter of 2019. GW plans to launch in Italy and Spain as well but these are dependent on pricing and reimbursement.

GW is also looking to use Epidiolex in the treatment of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), which is a rare genetic condition that causes the growth of tumors in different organs of the body. The company sees a huge unmet need in the area of TSC treatment.
