Anika Therapeutics, Inc. Q2 FY26 Results

Our second quarter results mark a positive step forward in improving the performance of our business. We achieved record Commercial Channel revenue, substantial gross margin expansion, and our highest adjusted EBITDA since 2020. The actions we initiated earlier this year are delivering early gains as we continue to drive operational excellence throughout the Company. Additionally, our growth has diversified across channels and geographies, highlighted by a record quarter of international revenue. Our OEM business continues to perform well, supported by stronger transfer unit volumes driven by J&J DePuy Synthes, order timing across both the Monovisc and Orthovisc product lines, favorable U.S. Monovisc end market sales, and continued international growth. These drivers increased production, throughput and manufacturing yields, resulting in meaningful gross margin expansion and operating leverage. Combined with disciplined expense management, a 20% reduction in G&A expenses (or 30% excluding one-time severance-related charges), and lower stock-based compensation expense, these improvements are translating into meaningful profitability gains. Given our first-half performance, we are raising our full-year financial outlook. Most notably, we are raising our adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to 13%-17%, driven by improved operating leverage. Our improved outlook is supported by favorable OEM sales trends, continued Commercial Channel growth, operational improvements, and disciplined cost management. While we expect some moderation in revenue and profitability during the second half relative to the strong first half, reflecting the timing of certain OEM orders, we remain encouraged by the underlying trends in the business and our ability to deliver improved full-year performance. We are still early in our company-wide transformation, yet the results achieved in the first half reinforce that our strategy is working and that disciplined execution against our mission is creating sustainable value. As we continue to advance toward filing the Cingal New Drug Application (“NDA”) we’re making steady progress on the bioequivalence study for Triamcinolone Hexacetonide and are accelerating the necessary Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”), activities required to file Cingal as a drug-drug combination product. Additionally, we remain actively engaged with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on Hyalofast, with discussions focusing primarily on the co-primary clinical endpoints within the Premarket Approval (“PMA”) submission. Given the timing uncertainty that remains in our regulatory review process, particularly as our discussions with the FDA on Hyalofast evolve, we are adopting a new revenue guidance practice. Going forward, our forecast will only include revenue from products that have received regulatory approval or clearance. As a result, our 2027 Commercial Channel revenue guidance no longer includes revenue associated with Hyalofast.
