• Strong Q1 Financial Performance

  CorMedix reported Q1 2026 total revenue of $127.4 million, a 226% increase year-over-year, and net income of $38.6 million, up 87%, largely due to the Melinta acquisition and DefenCath sales.

• DefenCath Reimbursement Headwind Expected

  The company anticipates a significant reduction in DefenCath net pricing in the second half of 2026 due to a transition in CMS reimbursement methodology, though 2027 payments could increase.

• Persistent Material Weakness in Internal Controls

  The material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, previously disclosed in the 2025 10-K, remains unremediated as of March 31, 2026.

• Share Repurchase Program Activity

  CorMedix repurchased 1.6 million shares for $11.1 million during the first quarter of 2026 under its $75 million authorization, with $63.9 million remaining.

CorMedix Inc. reported robust first-quarter 2026 financial results, with significant increases in revenue and net income, primarily driven by the Melinta acquisition and strong DefenCath sales. However, the company continues to report a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting, which remains unremediated. A notable future headwind is the expected significant reduction in DefenCath net pricing in the second half of 2026 due to a transition in CMS reimbursement methodology. The company also actively repurchased shares under its authorized program.
