Heron Therapeutics, Inc. reported a net income of $2.635 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a substantial improvement compared to a net loss of $3.160 million in the same period last year. This positive shift was primarily driven by an 89.4% increase in acute care net product sales, particularly ZYNRELEF and APONVIE, and a decrease in research and development and general and administrative expenses.
Net product sales increased to $38.903 million in Q1 2025 from $34.670 million in Q1 2024, representing a 12.2% growth.
The company achieved a gross profit of $30.446 million, up from $26.226 million in the prior year, with gross profit margin improving to 78.3%.
Research and development expenses decreased significantly by 50.5% to $2.279 million, contributing to the improved net income.
Acute care net product sales surged by 89.4%, primarily due to increased unit sales and new customers for ZYNRELEF and APONVIE.
Heron Therapeutics anticipates that its current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, additional financing will be required to repay the $150.0 million Senior Convertible Notes due in May 2026.
