Acute Care Revenue Growth Helps Heron (HRTX) Reaffirm 2026 Guidance Despite Q1 Sales DeclineMay 11, 2026 11:03 AM
IH Market News Heron Therapeutics maintained its full-year outlook as growth in its Acute Care franchise helped offset ongoing weakness in oncology products during the first quarter. Key Investor Takeaways Heron Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:HRTX) reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $173 million to $183 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $10 million to $20 million. Acute Care franchise revenue grew 32% year-over-year, led by ZYNRELEF and APONVIE growth. Total Q1 net revenue declined 10.8% to $34.7 million due to weaker oncology sales. APONVIE and ZYNRELEF demand trends, reimbursement expansion, and planned sales force growth remain key commercial catalysts. Investors may focus on whether Acute Care growth can sustainably offset declining CINVANTI and SUSTOL revenue. Why Heron Therapeutics Stock Is in Focus Heron Therapeutics reported first-quarter 2026 net revenue of $34.7 million, down from $38.9 million in the prior-year period.The decline was driven primarily by lower Oncology Supportive Care revenue, which fell 26.3% year-over-year to $21.1 million.CINVANTI revenue declined 20.2% to $20.5 million, while SUSTOL revenue dropped sharply as the company continues winding down the product ahead of its planned exit by the end of 2026.Despite the overall revenue decline, Heron’s Acute Care franchise posted strong growth.Acute Care revenue rose 32.3% year-over-year to $13.6 million, including ZYNRELEF revenue of $10.2 million and APONVIE revenue of $3.4 million.The company said ZYNRELEF demand units increased 22% year-over-year, while APONVIE demand units climbed 68%.Heron also highlighted continued commercial expansion efforts, including planned sales force growth in the third quarter of 2026 and expanded reimbursement access tied to permanent product-specific J-codes for both ZYNRELEF and APONVIE.CEO Craig Collard stated: “Our Acute Care franchise continues to perform with strong year-over-year growth, and we remain confident in our full-year framework.”The company ended the quarter with $44.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Why This Matters for Investors The results reinforce the importance of Heron’s transition toward its Acute Care franchise as legacy oncology products face pressure.For investors, the central question is whether newer products such as ZYNRELEF and APONVIE can generate enough sustained growth to offset ongoing declines in the Oncology Supportive Care business.The company’s decision to reaffirm full-year guidance may signal management confidence that improving procedural volumes, reimbursement expansion, and commercial execution can support stronger performance later in the year.The rollout of permanent J-codes may also improve reimbursement clarity and product adoption, particularly for hospital and surgical center customers.At the same time, Heron still faces execution risks tied to commercial adoption, sales force expansion, and broader healthcare utilization trends.Gross margin pressure related to higher-cost CINVANTI inventory also remains a near-term factor investors may monitor over the next several quarters.Still, the strong demand growth in APONVIE and ZYNRELEF suggests the company is making progress in shifting its revenue mix toward higher-growth Acute Care products. What To Watch Next Investors will likely monitor several upcoming developments: Growth trends for ZYNRELEF and APONVIE demand units Impact of new reimbursement codes on adoption Execution of Heron’s planned sales force expansion Stabilization or continued erosion in oncology product revenue Progress toward the company’s adjusted EBITDA targets Development updates tied to the ZYNRELEF prefilled syringe program Heron Therapeutics stock price Original: Acute Care Revenue Growth Helps Heron (HRTX) Reaffirm 2026 Guidance Despite Q1 Sales Decline

U.S. District Court Upholds Validity of CINVANTI® Patents
— Court Rules in Favor of Heron in Patent Lawsuit Against Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC —
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heron Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRTX) ("Heron" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage biotechnology company, today announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in Heron's favor in the Company's patent litigation against Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC with respect to CINVANTI® (aprepitant) injectable emulsion. The district court found that Heron's U.S. Patent Nos. 9,561,229 and 9,974,794, which expire in 2035, are valid and would be infringed by Fresenius' proposed generic product.
The district court decision concludes the litigation initiated in July 2022 in response to Fresenius' submission of an Abbreviated New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking approval of a generic version of CINVANTI®. As a result of the decision, Heron will seek an order from the Court prohibiting Fresenius from launching its generic CINVANTI® until after the expiration of the patents in 2035. This decision is subject to appeal.
"We are pleased with this anticipated result of the proceeding and will continue to vigorously defend the CINVANTI® patent estate in the future," said Craig Collard, Chief Executive Officer of Heron. "The team at Heron takes great pride in the result of our successful history of developing injectable products, which is demonstrated by the strength of our intellectual property and the performance of our innovative drugs like CINVANTI® in serving patients with serious unmet needs."

Heron Therapeutics Announces Partnership with CrossLink Life Sciences to Expand Promotional Effort for ZYNRELEF®, the First and Only Non-Opioid Dual Acting Local Anesthetic for Post-Operative Pain
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heron Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRTX), a commercial-stage biotechnology company, today announced that it has entered into a five-year distributor partnership with CrossLink Life Sciences, LLC to expand the sales network supporting ZYNRELEF® (bupivacaine and meloxicam) extended-release solution.
The partnership will launch in several phases, initially at a regional level, followed by an expanded national rollout. In total, approximately 650 representatives will be added to Heron's sales network over the next year. CrossLink will be the lead partner in the United States to expand ZYNRELEF promotion for orthopedic indications. Under the terms of the agreement, CrossLink is compensated on a fixed-fee per vial basis, based on growth over a pre-determined baseline period.
"This partnership will allow Heron to expand access to this pain-reducing product for orthopedic surgery patients, allowing more accounts to adopt ZYNRELEF as an essential part of their surgical procedures," said Craig Collard, Chief Executive Officer of Heron. "CrossLink has a proven track record of success in building relationships, providing superior service to healthcare providers and improving patient outcomes. We look forward to kicking off a successful collaboration and further positioning Heron to deliver substantial value and impact patient lives in the coming years."
"We are excited about the partnership with Heron and its upcoming potential expansion of the ZYNRELEF label and the vial-access needle (VAN) which will streamline the product preparation. We have seen first-hand the impact that ZYNRELEF can have on post-operative pain, and our team is excited to deliver ZYNRELEF to more patients across the country," said Thomas Fleetwood, Chief Executive Officer of CrossLink.
CrossLink is the largest private orthopedic, spine and sports medicine device distributorship in the United States, consisting of experienced sales, operations and logistics teams driven by the foundational goal of improving patient outcomes. Over the past 45 years, its world class specialty sales organization and national network of distributors have become the market leaders in each of the regional markets they serve.
About ZYNRELEF for Postoperative Pain
ZYNRELEF is the first and only dual-acting local anesthetic that delivers a fixed-dose combination of the local anesthetic bupivacaine and a low dose of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam. ZYNRELEF is the first and only extended-release local anesthetic to demonstrate in Phase 3 studies significantly reduced pain and significantly increased proportion of patients requiring no opioids through the first 72 hours following surgery compared to bupivacaine solution, the current standard-of-care local anesthetic for postoperative pain control. ZYNRELEF was initially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") in May 2021 for use in adults for soft tissue or periarticular instillation to produce postsurgical analgesia for up to 72 hours after bunionectomy, open inguinal herniorrhaphy and total knee arthroplasty. In December 2021, the FDA approved an expansion of ZYNRELEF's indication. In December 2022, we submitted an sNDA to support the proposed indication for greatly expanded use of ZYNRELEF in soft tissue and orthopedic surgical procedures. On July 31, 2023, the FDA notified Heron of an extension of the PDUFA approval goal date by three months to provide for a full review of the submission. The FDA has set a new extended PDUFA approval goal date of January 23, 2024. ZYNRELEF is now indicated in the U.S. in adults for soft tissue or periarticular instillation to produce postsurgical analgesia for up to 72 hours after foot and ankle, small-to-medium open abdominal, and lower extremity total joint arthroplasty surgical procedures. Safety and efficacy have not been established in highly vascular surgeries, such as intrathoracic, large multilevel spinal, and head and neck procedures. ZYNRELEF was granted a marketing authorization by the European Commission in September 2020 and by the United Kingdom Regulatory Authority in January 2021. In August 2023, we cancelled the ZYNRELEF U.K. marketing authorization and, in October 2023, we cancelled the ZYNRELEF European Union (EU) marketing authorization, as we do not plan to commercially launch ZYNRELEF in the U.K. or the EU.
