Highlights

Q1 revenue from SODFRA doubles between Feb and Mar

$40M raised via institutional placement

Expansion plans supported by strong cash reserves

Botanix Pharmaceuticals (ASX:BOT) has reported a strong commercial debut for its newly launched dermatology product, SODFRA, with first-quarter revenues soaring to approximately $5 million. The company revealed this performance in a recent trading update, highlighting significant momentum in product uptake across the United States.

SODFRA, a topical gel designed to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating), saw a doubling of sales between February and March alone — an early indicator of growing demand and market acceptance. The robust sales growth has been attributed to effective commercial strategies and an expanding customer base engaging with the product shortly after its launch.

To further accelerate its commercial rollout and support infrastructure, Botanix successfully completed a share placement that secured $40 million in firm commitments from institutional investors. With this capital injection, the company’s cash reserves have been elevated to $65 million, positioning it strongly for its next phase of growth.

Botanix plans to channel the new funding toward several strategic initiatives. These include scaling up its sales force to deepen healthcare provider engagement, investing in digital platforms to enhance product awareness and patient access, and bolstering its inventory and logistics capabilities to meet increasing demand.

Management has expressed confidence that these measures will help Botanix cement its position in the dermatology therapeutics market. The solid financial foundation and growing market traction of SODFRA are expected to support ongoing efforts in broadening market reach and improving patient outcomes.

The company’s latest update underscores not only the successful launch of a high-potential product but also a well-capitalized and strategically focused approach to sustaining its growth trajectory. As the year progresses, all eyes will be on the continued performance of SODFRA and Botanix’s ability to capitalize on its early momentum.
