Anika Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Commercial Channel Revenue Increased 17% to a Record $13.9 Million Delivered $3.3 Million of Net Income, 65% Gross Margin, and $7.1 Million of Adjusted EBITDA, Highest Since 2020 Raising Full-Year 2026 Financial Guidance and Revising 2027 Revenue Forecast BEDFORD, Mass., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANIK), a global leader in the osteoarthritis ("OA") pain management and regenerative solutions spaces focused on early-intervention orthopedics, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

Total revenue for the second quarter was $32.6 million, compared to$28.2 million in the prior-year period. Performance was driven by record Commercial Channel revenue of $13.9 million**,** representing organic growth of17% year-over-year**,** and continued strength in the OEM Channel supported by favorable US Monovisc and Orthovisc sales.

Gross profit for the second quarter was$21.2 million**,** compared to$14.4 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin expanded to 65%, reflecting higher sales volume, increased manufacturing production and improved sales mix.

Total operating expenses were $18.3 million, compared to $18.5 million in the prior-year period. Operating expense performance reflected continued cost discipline across the business while maintaining targeted investments to support commercial growth and strategic development programs. Excluding approximately $0.8 million of one-time severance-related expenses, adjusted operating expenses were $17.5 million, representing a decline of 6% versus the prior-year period.

Net income was $3.3 million for the second quarter, representing a 10% margin. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.1 million, representing a 22% Adjusted EBITDA margin reflecting continued benefits from commercial growth, gross margin expansion, and disciplined expense management.

"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.” said Steve Griffin, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“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.”

Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights and Updates

• Strong first-half execution drove record revenue performance, significant gross margin expansion, and a raise to full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance.
• Commercial Channel revenue increased 17% year-over-year to a record $13.9 million, representing the strongest quarter in Company history.
• International revenue reached a record $12.6 million, increasing 22% year-over-year and exceeding the prior quarterly record by 5%, reflecting continued strength across key markets and the increasing contribution from Anika's global commercial organization.
• OEM Channel performance benefited from strong transfer units, favorable order timing and Monovisc volume growth, partially offset by lower Orthovisc sales.
• Integrity global units increased both sequentially and year-over-year during the second quarter, driven by growing international demand and continued adoption of larger implant shapes and sizes in the US. Year-to-date sales grew 39% year over year.
• Hyalofast PMA activities continue to advance, with the Company remaining actively engaged with the FDA as it works through the ongoing review process and responses to the previously disclosed deficiency letter.

Non-GAAP Financial Information1 Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, the Company’s definition of non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, Anika strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it uses them as supplemental measures in internally assessing the Company’s operating performance, and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, it is set as a key performance metric to determine executive compensation. The Company also recognizes that these non-GAAP measures are commonly used in determining business performance more broadly and believes that they are helpful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding depreciation and amortization, interest and other income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring professional fees and severance costs.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) from Continuing Operations Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by the Company as GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, on a tax effected basis, excluding stock-based compensation, severance costs and non-recurring professional fees. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations is defined by the Company as GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding stock-based compensation, severance costs and non-recurring professional fees, each on a tax effected basis.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations to net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to diluted EPS from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is shown in the tables at the end of this release.

The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of items such as stock-based compensation expense, severance costs, non-recurring professional fees and certain other items that may affect GAAP results. The effect of these items could be material, and therefore a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
