MediWound (NASDAQ:MDWD) Announces Earnings Results

MediWound (NASDAQ:MDWD) announced its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday. The biopharmaceutical company reported ($0.23) EPS for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.65) by $0.42, RTT News reports. MediWound had a negative net margin of 140.80% and a negative return on equity of 65.79%. The company had revenue of $1.48 million during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $3.37 million. During the same quarter last year, the firm posted ($0.07) EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from MediWound’s conference call:

• EscharEx remains the company’s main development priority, but the VALUE Phase III study has been pushed back by one quarter, with enrollment now expected to finish by the end of Q1 2027. Management said the delay was driven by operational issues in Europe and the burden of frequent wound assessments, not by safety or efficacy concerns.
• The company said its EscharEx collaboration network has expanded to include nearly all major advanced wound care players, now adding Medline. This broader industry involvement was presented as external validation of EscharEx and could support future commercialization and additional studies in DFU and pressure ulcers.
• NexoBrid continued to gain commercial and strategic traction, with Vericel reporting growth in ordering centers and total orders in the U.S. burn market. MediWound also highlighted a new 10-year BARDA contract worth up to $197 million, with procurement and development expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
• First-quarter 2026 revenue fell to $1.5 million from $4.0 million a year earlier, mainly because of the timing of BARDA-related revenue and shipment delays tied to regional conflict. The quarter also reflected higher R&D spending on the EscharEx VALUE study, contributing to a wider operating loss.
• Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $24 million to $26 million, expecting a second-half weighted ramp from government-related development services and procurement. The company said it is working through EMA pre-audit modifications at its expanded manufacturing facility and expects those activities to be completed in the second half of 2026.
