Recent Corporate Highlights:

CorMedix announces $127.4 million of net revenue for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting strong first quarter execution and positive underlying demand trends. The Company also recognized net income of $38.6 million and adjusted EBITDA of $70.0 million.(1) Basic and fully diluted EPS were $0.48 and $0.43 per share, respectively, for the quarter
DefenCath (taurolidine and heparin) sales contributed $97.5 million of net revenue in the quarter, bolstered by higher utilization of DefenCath by outpatient dialysis customers as well as a non-recurring $9.0 million favorable change in estimate related to certain sales allowances. The acquired Melinta portfolio contributed $29.9 million, reflecting typical, first quarter purchasing patterns for the anti-infective portfolio.
CorMedix updates previously established guidance for 2026 net revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The Company increases full-year 2026 net revenue guidance to a range of $325 to $345 million, and full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $115 to $135 million.
On April 27, 2026, CorMedix announced positive Phase III topline results from the global ReSPECT clinical trial evaluating REZZAYO (rezafungin for injection) for prophylaxis of invasive fungal diseases in adult patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CorMedix is actively working together with its global partner to prepare for FDA submission of the sNDA, expected in the second half of this year, and targeting for a potential commercial launch for the expanded indication in 2027.
The ongoing Phase 3 study of taurolidine/heparin catheter lock solution in TPN patients continues to enroll patients and is currently trending to completion in 2028. The Company is taking appropriate steps to accelerate enrollment trajectory, including the opening of new study sites and the submission of a protocol amendment to FDA, which, if approved, would remove certain exclusion criteria and broaden patient enrollment.
Cash and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, at March 31, 2026 totaled $178.1 million.
Joseph Todisco, CorMedix Chairman & CEO, commented, "CorMedix has entered 2026 with strong momentum across all areas of our business. DefenCath continues to exceed expectations despite pending TDAPA expiration and demonstrates strong underlying utilization demand. In addition, we are advancing a pipeline of late-stage opportunities, including REZZAYO for prophylaxis, which we expect will meaningfully expand our long-term revenue opportunity. Lastly, we have delivered significant profitability and cash generation, allowing us to reinvest in growth, as well as shareholder value creation through stock repurchases, while preserving financial flexibility for new business development initiatives."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

For the first quarter of 2026, CorMedix recorded $127.4 million in net revenue, comprised of $97.5 million in sales of DefenCath and $29.9 million in revenue associated with the acquired Melinta portfolio, an increase from $39.1 million in net revenue in the comparable period of 2025. DefenCath sales in the quarter were positively impacted by a non-recurring $9.0 million change in estimate related to certain sales allowances. DefenCath sales increased year over year largely due to the onboarding of a large dialysis organization in mid-2025. As the Melinta acquisition occurred in August 2025, the first quarter of 2025 included net revenue from only sales of DefenCath

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $41.5 million, compared with $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of approximately 139%. The increase of $24.1 million over the prior period was driven primarily by the contribution of operating expenses from the Melinta acquisition for the full quarter and reflects the larger combined company.

Research and development (R&D) expenses in the first quarter of 2026 were $7.2 million, compared with $3.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in R&D was primarily due to an increase in personnel and clinical trial services in support of the ongoing clinical programs, including pediatric studies for several of our brands and the continued investment in the development of DefenCath for the TPN indication.

Selling and marketing expense increased approximately 180% to $12.5 million in first quarter of 2026 from $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel cost associated with the larger product portfolio and related marketing programs.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately 124% to $21.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher costs associated with operating as a combined company following the acquisition, including higher personnel, information technology, branded prescription drug, legal and facilities costs.

CorMedix recorded net income of $38.6 million, or $0.48 and $0.43 per basic and diluted share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026, compared with net income of $20.6 million, or $0.32 and $0.30 per basic and diluted share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025. Also for the first quarter of 2026, CorMedix reported adjusted EBITDA of $70.0 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $178.1 million at March 31, 2026, excluding restricted cash. The Company believes that it has sufficient resources to fund operations for at least twelve months from the issuance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
