Filed Aug 5, 2026Vanda Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Analysis
Vanda reported total net product sales of $50.5 million in Q2 2026, a 4% decrease from $52.6 million in Q2 2025. Fanapt was the principal source of commercial growth, with net product sales of $36.0 million, up 23% year-over-year, supported by TRx growth of 31% and NBRx growth of 32%. PONVORY added growth, with net product sales of $7.9 million, up 12% year-over-year. NEREUS generated $1.0 million following its U.S. commercial launch in Q2 2026.
HETLIOZ remained the key drag on reported sales. Its Q2 net product sales were $5.6 million, down 66% year-over-year. Management stated that this amount excludes approximately $7.0 million of revenue from orders shipped on June 29, 2026 that arrived on July 1, 2026, which will be recognized in Q3 2026. For the first six months, total net product sales were $102.2 million compared with $102.6 million in the first six months of 2025, while Fanapt sales rose 24% and HETLIOZ sales declined 42%.
Losses and cash usage increased as Vanda advanced Phase III programs, prepared product launches, and manufactured commercial supply. Loss before income taxes was $62.4 million in Q2 2026 versus $34.9 million in Q2 2025, and GAAP net loss was $62.5 million versus $27.2 million. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $170.0 million as of June 30, 2026, after a $32.3 million decrease in Q2 2026 and a $93.8 million decrease compared to December 31, 2025. Management expects expenses to begin decreasing by the end of 2026 and more substantially throughout 2027.
The company reiterated full-year 2026 total revenue guidance of $240 to $290 million. The commercial outlook depends on Fanapt, the expected second-half 2026 BYSANTI launch, and NEREUS expansion, for which personal promotion is expected later in 2026. The near-term regulatory and development calendar includes the December 12, 2026 PDUFA target action date for Quimilza and expected 2026 Phase III results for NEREUS in GLP-1-related vomiting, VQW-765 in social anxiety disorder, and HETLIOZ in delayed sleep phase disorder.
Management, verbatim
We are pleased with the continued strong growth of Fanapt and the enthusiastic early response to NEREUS as it becomes available to patients. With BYSANTI approved and on track for launch in the second half of 2026, a December 2026 PDUFA date for Quimilza and multiple late-stage clinical trial results expected before year-end, we believe Vanda is well positioned for meaningful commercial expansion and pipeline value creation.
Mihael H. Polymeropoulos, M.D., President, CEO and Chairman of the Board
As our Phase III programs, launch preparations, and commercial supply manufacturing near completion, we expect operating expenses to begin moderating later this year and more significantly in 2027. Our current resources, together with anticipated product revenues, provide a solid foundation to advance our objectives through at least the end of 2027.
