(Nasdaq:XLRN), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of TGF-beta superfamily therapeutics to treat serious and rare diseases, today announced net sales of REBLOZYL® (luspatercept-aamt) as reported by its global collaborator, Bristol Myers Squibb, were approximately $128 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Acceleron expects to report royalty revenue of approximately $25.6 million from net sales of REBLOZYL in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The preliminary unaudited revenue estimate for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 included in this release is the responsibility of management and is subject to the completion of the Company’s customary quarter-end financial closing procedures, including management’s review and finalization, as well as review procedures by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which have not yet been completed. During the course of the Company’s review process, items may be identified that would require it to make adjustments, which could result in material changes to the Company’s preliminary unaudited estimated financial results. Consequently, this revenue estimate should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company’s earnings release and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
