Hosts conference call and webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: XERS), a fast-growing biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patient lives by developing and commercializing innovative products across a range of therapies, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"We are thrilled with our outstanding start to 2026, delivering first quarter net product revenue growth of 43%, reflecting the successful execution of our strategy," said John Shannon, CEO. "Recorlev was the standout performer, with net revenue nearly doubling year-over-year, driven by growth across our patient base and increased awareness across the prescriber base. Also in the quarter, we successfully completed the expansion of our commercial team, and we expect the impact of these targeted investments to become more evident in the second half of 2026 and beyond.”

Shannon continued, "Looking ahead, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on our full-year financial targets. Recorlev's strong Q1 and continued momentum gives us the confidence to raise the bottom end of our full year 2026 total revenue guidance. Our updated guidance of $380 million to $390 million represents more than 30% growth at the midpoint. Beyond our commercial execution, 2026 represents a pivotal year for our pipeline, with the anticipated Phase 3 initiation of XP-8121 later in the year marking a significant value creation inflection point. Our strong financial foundation enables us to advance these strategic priorities while creating sustainable long-term value for shareholders."

  • Recorlev® net revenue was $49.8 million – an increase of approximately 95% compared to the first quarter of 2025. This growth was primarily due to increased patient demand.
  • Gvoke® net revenue was $20.8 million – flat compared to the first quarter of 2025.
  • Keveyis® net revenue was $11.9 million – an increase of approximately 4% compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Gross margin improved to 87%, up from 85% in the same period last year. The improvement was primarily driven by favorable product mix dynamics.

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased $1.0 million or 13% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. The increase in R&D expenses primarily reflect higher personnel-related expenses to support XP-8121.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $9.1 million or 21% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year. This increase mainly reflects higher personnel related expense to support the commercial enterprise, including the Recorlev expansion.

Net income for the first quarter was $2.2 million, compared to a net loss of $9.2 million in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first quarter was $15.1 million, an improvement of $10.7 million compared to the same period last year.

Total Shares Outstanding were 172,642,055 at April 30, 2026.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and also certain historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, namely Adjusted EBITDA. This non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and was not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measure included herein may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed in conjunction with actual GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of the Company's ongoing and projected operating performance, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business and is important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding expected operating performance. Also, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company’s business and evaluate its performance. In addition, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is important in evaluating the administrative costs of operating the Company’s business.

Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss) before income tax (benefit) expense, plus interest and other income, less depreciation and amortization, interest expenses, share based compensation and debt refinancing fees.
