Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
Phathom's accomplishments in 2023 were nothing short of amazing and I'm extremely proud of this team
So what we see is that the utilization of BlinkRx is growing over time which is exactly what we intended and we communicated to you all and are strongly communicating to physicians that it's the best opportunity for insured patient gets access to VOQUEZNA
So the -- so Chase, I would say that the confidence that scripts will go through for Express Scripts national formulary, is we're absolutely confident of that
Today, I'm proud to share that we're delivering on those goals prescribers have quickly recognized the VOQUEZNA's differentiated and novel mechanism of action
is off to a strong start and we remain steadfast in delivering on our strategy of driving blockbuster potential through continued market expansion
After over 30 years since the first PPI was approved, there is strong demand for something new
Our goal there was really to make sure that, first of all, customers had a good experience
We are successfully executing our launch strategy with continued promotion of physicians, a broadened consumer campaign and expanded commercial coverage; we anticipate significant growth in filled prescriptions over the course of 2024
We are confident in our strategy and believe it will continue to yield expanded coverage, resulting in an uptick in filled prescriptions throughout the remainder of 2024
In that short period, we've achieved many regulatory, manufacturing, financial and commercial milestones demonstrating the significant experience and dedication of our teams
In fact, with our recent Express Scripts win, we're well on our way to securing widespread coverage for commercial patients
These early indicators, along with vonoprazan's massive commercial success in Japan have reinforced my belief in VOQUEZNA's bright future here in the U.S
adults, positive feedback from physicians and patients and anticipated label expansions
We remain confident in our belief that VOQUEZNA has the potential to reach annual peak revenues of greater than $3 billion
We've made great progress on that front so far and anticipate expanded commercial coverage throughout the year
Although this has led to a proportion of early VOQUEZNA prescriptions not being filled, we believe we are well positioned to convert more of these scripts over time
So I feel really confident about our best case and very hopeful that we can also get that additional PA
We believe our ability to obtain commercial formulary replacement with one of the nation's largest PBM so quickly after approval indicates that our pricing and access strategy is resonating well with payers
So we see that this is -- we really were successful in getting the broadest population possible
If approved, this indication will significantly broaden VOQUEZNA's addressable population and we believe further accelerate uptake
We believe vonoprazan's unique MOA bode well for success in these 2 trials
We're really pleased with the demand
Among those writers, we are already seeing repeat prescribing which builds our confidence that physicians recognize VOQUEZNA's value for patients
Overall, we believe our strong balance sheet will enable us to continue delivering on our launch and development strategies
As our reps continue to promote to physicians and garner the backing of strengthened commercial coverage, we expect positive script momentum to continue
The qualitative feedback from these early months of launch has bolstered our belief that these elements are present in the GERD market
In closing, I'm extremely happy with the commentary we're hearing from prescribers and how it translates into demand
As for the back half of 2024, we believe the planned launch of Non-Erosive GERD daily dosing in July, pending FDA approval, will serve as another key catalyst for driving adoption
So we're finalizing the protocol for the Eosinophilic Esophagitis Phase II, we're really excited about that
We believe VOQUEZNA represents a blockbuster opportunity and this launch is off to an exciting start
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Actual results can materially differ from the forward-looking statements and any such risks can materially adversely affect the business, the results of operations and trading prices for Phathom's common stock
First, could you remind us, there was some confusion on whether the uptick in IMS, especially was observed in January, -- was that a function of IMS just doing a better job capturing Blink? Or was that completely exclusive? Maybe a different way of answering that is the significant sort of acceleration we saw almost tripling in TRx heading into January, February
Turning to EPS; we reported GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter 2020 of $79.6 million or $1.39 loss per share compared to $55 million or $1.33 and loss per share for the fourth quarter 2022
