• HEPZATO revenue and guidance increased: Second-quarter HEPZATO KIT revenue reached $27.1 million, up 21% year over year, while volume rose 30% despite the impact of 340B pricing. Delcath raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $104 million-$108 million and expects positive adjusted EBITDA.
• Commercial footprint continued to expand: The company activated two treatment centers in the quarter, reaching 31, and remains confident it can reach approximately 37 centers by year-end. New patient starts averaged about 0.5 per site per month, with leading NCI- and NCCN-affiliated institutions making up a substantial portion of the network.
• Expansion into additional cancers is progressing but remains early: Phase II studies in third-line liver-dominant colorectal cancer and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer are adding sites and improving enrollment, while an interim colorectal readout is expected in late 2027. Management acknowledged that enrollment has been slower than initially expected because of the complexity of coordinating oncology and interventional radiology teams.
• Profitability was supported by strong gross margins, but investment and pricing pressures remain: Second-quarter gross margin improved to 90%, although full-year guidance is 86%-89% due partly to anticipated manufacturing costs. Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses increased year over year, while adjusted EBITDA declined to $7.6 million from $9.8 million.
