AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Pacira reported Q2 2026 revenue of $192.4 million (+6% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA of $48.7 million, closed the iovera divestiture to Zimmer Biomet for up to $140 million, and lowered total revenue guidance to $735–$760 million (from $745–$770M) to reflect the divestiture while reiterating EXPAREL guidance of $600–$620 million amid softer elective soft tissue procedure volumes.

Bullish
  • + UnitedHealthcare now provides separate reimbursement for EXPAREL outside the surgical bundle, lifting covered lives to over 150 million.
  • + EXPAREL net sales grew 3% to $147.8M and ZILRETTA grew 4% to $32.6M in Q2 2026.
  • + LG Chem filed for EXPAREL approval in South Korea, with revenues expected to begin in 2027.
  • + Cash position remains strong at $251.0 million as of June 30, 2026, further enhanced by $73.6M Zimmer closing payment.
Bearish
  • − Full-year 2026 total revenue guidance lowered to $735–$760 million from $745–$770 million due to iovera divestiture.
  • − Elective soft tissue procedures slowed in Q2, pressuring Exparel volumes, particularly in hospital inpatient settings.
  • − Non-GAAP gross margin fell to 78% in Q2 2026 from 82% in Q2 2025.
  • − Non-GAAP net income of $29.5M ($0.73 diluted) in Q2 2026 declined from $36.0M ($0.74 diluted) in Q2 2025.
  • − Adjusted EBITDA of $48.7 million in Q2 2026 declined from $54.3 million in Q2 2025.
  • − SG&A increased to $81.3M in Q2 2026 from $77.2M in Q2 2025, partly due to non-recurring costs of contested director election.
