What drove it
- Cortrophin Gel growth was driven primarily by the existing specialty areas of Nephrology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Pulmonology and Rheumatology.
- The Cortrophin Gel gout sales-force expansion targeting podiatrists and primary care physicians was fully operational as of the end of June.
- Over 95% of reps generated multiple new patient cases, and over a third of prescribers initiated two or more cases in the gout expansion.
- Generics growth reflected new product launches, including a partnered generic launch that commenced in the third quarter of 2025.
- The Company launched 12 new Generics products year-to-date and is on track for at least 15 new product launches in 2026.

Concerns
- GAAP gross margin decreased from 64.7% to 62.4%, and non-GAAP gross margin decreased from 64.9% to 62.6%.
- Margin declines were primarily due to higher sales of royalty bearing products, including Cortrophin Gel and a partnered generic product, and the non-recurrence of prior-year revenues from Prucalopride.
- ILUVIEN net revenues decreased 16.1% primarily because of timing of international shipments.
- Brands net revenues decreased 10.5%, reflecting normalization in demand for certain products.
- Cortrophin Gel net revenue guidance was revised to $520 million - $540 million from $540 million - $575 million.
What to watch
- Momentum in Cortrophin Gel’s existing specialties, where the Company reported a record number of new cases initiated in July.
- Conversion and breadth of prescribing from the acute gouty arthritis expansion among podiatrists and primary care physicians.
- Completion of the balance of Harmony Agreement development work in the third quarter of 2026 and recognition of an additional $2.0 million in development milestone revenue.
- Detailed results and additional analyses from the SYNCHRONICITY clinical trial, anticipated at a retina-specialist medical conference in the fourth quarter of 2026.
- Delivery of at least 15 new Generics product launches in 2026.
- The mix effect from royalty-bearing products and its effect on gross margin.

Analysis
ANI reported record second-quarter total net revenues of $266.0 million, up 25.9% year-over-year. Rare Disease was the principal growth engine, with total net revenues increasing 30.7% to $135.8 million and Cortrophin Gel increasing 43.5% to $117.1 million. Generics also contributed, with generic pharmaceutical products increasing 9.7% to $99.1 million. Brand royalties and other revenues added $17.7 million, including development-milestone revenue and pitolisant-product royalties under the Harmony Agreement.
Cortrophin Gel demand remained broad across the existing specialties of Nephrology, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Pulmonology and Rheumatology. The company stated that its acute gouty arthritis expansion was fully operational by the end of June and reported favorable early demand indicators, including over 95% of reps generating multiple new patient cases and over a third of prescribers initiating two or more cases. Generics performance was supported by the partnered generic launch begun in the third quarter of 2025, additional product launches, and commercial and operational outperformance. Offsetting factors included a 16.1% decline in ILUVIEN and YUTIQ revenue due primarily to international shipment timing and a 10.5% decline in Brands revenue due to normalized demand for certain products.
Profitability improved in absolute terms despite lower gross margins. GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders was $24.7 million, compared with $8.1 million in the prior-year period, and GAAP diluted income per share was $1.05 versus $0.36. Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA increased 32.4% to $71.6 million and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share rose to $2.21 from $1.80. However, GAAP gross margin declined from 64.7% to 62.4% and non-GAAP gross margin declined from 64.9% to 62.6%, primarily reflecting a greater mix of royalty-bearing products and the absence of prior-year Prucalopride revenue. Higher selling, general, and administrative expense included costs for the Rare Disease sales-force expansion.
ANI reaffirmed total company net revenue guidance of $1,080 million - $1,140 million, adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA guidance of $285 million - $300 million, and adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance of $9.19 - $9.69. It retained ILUVIEN guidance of $78 million - $83 million but revised Cortrophin Gel net revenue guidance to $520 million - $540 million from $540 million - $575 million. Liquidity included $360.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, while principal debt outstanding was $620.9 million. The company generated $115.0 million of year-to-date operating cash flow and authorized a program to repurchase up to $100.0 million of common stock through May 2029.
