Xeris Biopharma Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

About this update from Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc.

Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: XERS), a fast-growing biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patient lives by developing and commercializing innovative products across a range of therapies, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. "The second quarter was another strong period for Xeris, with net product revenue growing 34% year-over-year, driven by Recorlev’s exceptional commercial momentum,” said John Shannon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xeris. "The strategic investments we made for Recorlev earlier this year are gaining traction, and we expect their contribution to become increasingly meaningful as we move through the second half of 2026. Additionally, Gvoke delivered solid sequential improvement in line with our expectations, and Keveyis continued to provide a consistent, high-value contribution to our business." Shannon continued, "Beyond our commercial execution, the second quarter also brought an important strategic milestone. We received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a new Keveyis patent expected to extend intellectual property protection through at least 2039, reinforcing our long-term commitment to the primary periodic paralysis community. With a strong first half behind us, we are tightening our full-year guidance to $385–$390 million, reflecting our confidence in the team, the portfolio, and the trajectory of our business." Second Quarter 2026 Highlights   Three months ended June 30,   Change   2026   2025   $ % Product revenue (in thousands):             Recorlev $ 56,780   $ 31,444   $ 25,336   81   Gvoke   22,549     23,467     (918 ) (4 ) Keveyis   11,675     11,485     190   2   Other product revenue   —     1,312     (1,312 ) —   Product revenue, net   91,004     67,708     23,296   34   Royalty, contract and other revenue   1,096     3,831     (2,735 ) (71 ) Total revenue $ 92,100   $ 71,539   $ 20,561   29   Net product revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $91.0 million, an increase of 34% compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by increased patient demand for Recorlev. Gross margin improved to 86% in the second quarter of 2026, up from 82% in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily driven by favorable product mix dynamics. Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 32%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. The increase in R&D expenses primarily reflects higher personnel-related expenses to support XP-8121, and other external spend. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $16.6 million, or 37%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. This increase mainly reflects higher personnel related expenses to support the commercial enterprise, including the Recorlev expansion. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $31.1 million, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million in the same period last year. The loss was due to a one-time, non-cash charge of approximately $31 million in the second quarter of 2026, reflecting the increase in fair value as a result of entering into the 2028 Convertible Notes exchange agreements. Adjusted EBITDA 1 for the second quarter of 2026 was $19.3 million, an improvement of $6.7 million compared to the same period last year.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $28.9 million, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million in the same period last year.

Key Business Highlights 2028 Convertible Notes: On June 11, 2026, Xeris entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028. The exchange transactions eliminated approximately $23.0 million of debt through the issuance of $23.0 million in cash and approximately 5.0 million shares of common stock in July 2026. Additionally, the remaining holder of $10.5 million elected to convert its principal into approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock in July 2026. Currently, no 2028 Convertible Notes remain outstanding.

See "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures. Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and also certain historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, namely Adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and was not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measure included herein may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed in conjunction with actual GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing and projected operating performance, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business and is important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding expected operating performance. Also, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company’s business and evaluate its performance. In addition, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is important in evaluating the administrative costs of operating the Company’s business. Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss) before income tax (benefit) expense, plus interest and other income, less depreciation and amortization, interest expenses, share based compensation and debt refinancing fees or extinguishment losses.
