⌄
Total product , net, reached $425.5M in Q2 2026, up 296% from $107.4M in Q2 2025, primarily due to $308.6M in US BRINSUPRI sales following its August 2025 approval.
ARIKAYCE net grew 8% to $116.3M, with international sales up 19% to $46.1M, while US sales increased 2% to $70.2M.
The operating loss narrowed to $1.5 million from $312.9 million a year ago, as the $318.1 million increase in and the expansion outweighed a $33.0 million rise in R&D and a $92.7 million rise in SG&A expenses.
A $99.8 million non-cash gain from the change in fair value of liabilities, tied to a decrease in the company's share price, helped narrow the net loss to $13.2 million from $321.7 million a year ago.
Cash, equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $1.16 billion at quarter-end, and management stated this is sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months.
What changed
The Q1 2026 watch item on whether BRINSUPRI's $207.2 million quarter represented an initial bolus or a sustainable run rate is partially answered: Q2 of $308.6 million suggests the Q1 figure was not a one-time stocking effect, and the annualized run rate has now risen to approximately $1.2 billion.
ARIKAYCE US sales growth slowed further to 2% in Q2 from a 2.2% decline in Q1, confirming the trend flagged in Q1 that commercial focus has shifted to BRINSUPRI; the product's future now hinges on the ENCORE confirmatory trial readout, which was expected by April 2026 but is not mentioned as having occurred in this filing.
The Phase 2b CEDAR study topline data for brensocatib in hidradenitis suppurativa, flagged in Q1 as expected in Q2 2026, is not discussed in this filing, suggesting the readout has not yet occurred or was not material enough to disclose.
Operating cash outflow improved to $88.8 million from $205.6 million a year ago, as the ramp from BRINSUPRI began to offset the elevated SG&A spending on its commercial launch.
What to watch
Whether BRINSUPRI sustains or grows beyond the Q2 2026 annualized run rate of approximately $1.2 billion in Q3 2026, as the launch moves past its initial ramp phase.

Phase 2b CEDAR study topline data for brensocatib in hidradenitis suppurativa, expected in 2026, as the next indication-expansion catalyst for the company's lead asset.

R&D expenses rose 19% to $210.0M, mainly from a $14.6M increase in clinical development costs, largely for the TPIP program, and higher headcount-related compensation.
SG&A expenses increased 60% to $247.5M, driven by a $76.5M rise in professional fees and external expenses for BRINSUPRI commercial activities.
