Ironwood Reports Q1 Revenue of $106.5M, Beating Consensus
Reports Q1 revenue $106.5M, consensus $92.1M. "Our first quarter of 2026 delivered strong financial performance, driven by significantly improved net price and mid-single digit prescription growth for LINZESS, positioning us well to achieve our full-year 2026 financial guidance," said Tom McCourt, chief executive officer of Ironwood. "We expect strong first quarter revenue to result in significant operating cash flows in the second quarter of 2026, which will help support repayment of our 2026 convertible notes at maturity in June." "We remain on track for site initiation for the confirmatory STARS-2 Phase 3 clinical trial in the second quarter," said Michael Shetzline, chief medical officer, senior vice president and head of research and drug development at Ironwood. "Building on the positive results from STARS, we believe that the highly potent, selective, and long-acting pharmacologic properties of apraglutide have the potential to drive best-in-class efficacy and tolerability with once-weekly dosing and redefine the standard of care in SBS-IF. Importantly, the long-term data generated to date show compelling enteral autonomy outcomes, with rapid and sustained reductions in parenteral support over time."
