Key Financial Performance
Revenue Our total revenue for Q1 2026 was $65.3 million, representing a 5% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by increased sales of our flagship product, Hetlioz, in both the U.S. and European markets.
Net Income Net income for the quarter was $12.8 million, a 15% decrease compared to Q1 2025. The decline was attributed to higher R&D expenses related to our ongoing clinical trials.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses R&D expenses rose to $18.5 million, up 25% year-over-year. This increase was due to the advancement of our late-stage clinical programs.
Operating Expenses Operating expenses totaled $40.2 million, reflecting a 10% increase from the previous year. The rise was mainly due to higher personnel costs and expanded marketing efforts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents As of the end of Q1 2026, cash and cash equivalents stood at $210 million, a 5% decrease from Q1 2025. The reduction was primarily due to increased investment in R&D and infrastructure.
