Cormedix Lifts 2026 Outlook After Q1 Beat, Sets H2 FDA Filing Plan for Rizzeo

The stronger quarter gives the company more room to fund an FDA filing for Rizzeo in 2026.

Overview

  • Cormedix reported Q1 net revenue of $127.4 million and adjusted EBITDA of $70 million, then raised full-year guidance to $325–$345 million in revenue and $115–$135 million in EBITDA.
  • DefenCath demand remained strong on higher patient use and the full-quarter contribution from the Melinta brands, with management pointing to rising run rates at key dialysis customers.
  • A non-recurring $9 million change in sales allowances lifted Q1 results, which management and analysts said could affect Q2 comparisons.
  • The company plans an FDA submission for Rizzeo in the second half of 2026 for prophylaxis, with Mundy leading regulatory work and a potential 2027 launch under evaluation.
  • Cormedix is seeking an FDA-approved change to widen enrollment in its TPN study and now guides to a 2028 timeline, while it courts Medicare Advantage plans and flags a June shelf stock adjustment as buyers prepare for a 2027 price step-up after Medicare’s temporary add-on for new dialysis products ends.
