This represents an increase of 49 percent from$10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a 24 percent increase from$12.9 million in the third quarter of 2025.$4.0 million in ex-U.S. net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by inventory stocking ahead of demand pull-through inEurope for PK deficiency, as patients transition onto commercial supply.
