What matters this quarter

Heron Therapeutics reported Q1 2026 total net revenue of $34.7 million, with the Acute Care franchise growing 32% year-over-year driven by ZYNRELEF (+27%) and APONVIE (+50%), though results were impacted by typical Q1 seasonality compounded by severe weather disruption to elective surgeries in January. The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance of $173–$183 million in net revenue and $10–$20 million in Adjusted EBITDA, ended the quarter with $44.8 million in cash, and reached a settlement with Baxter in the CINVANTI patent litigation.

Constructive signals

  • Acute Care franchise net revenue grew 32% year-over-year, with ZYNRELEF up 27% and APONVIE up over 50%

Risks & pressure points

  • Surgical volumes declined high single digits sequentially from Q4, larger than seen in prior years
  • CINVANTI faced increased competitive pressure, with Q1 net sales reflecting normal quarter-to-quarter timing despite resilient 25% share
  • Temporary gross margin pressure expected to persist as the company works through higher-cost CINVANTI inventory over the next two quarters
  • SUSTOL net revenue fell to $0.6 million in line with the planned wind-down by end of 2026
