Financial Performance:
- Unaudited cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2026, were approximately $355 million.
- No specific revenue, earnings, profit margins, or cash flow figures for the third quarter of 2026 were disclosed in this press release.
Guidance and Future Outlook:
- Reaffirmed August 2026 total revenue guidance for the full year 2026 of between $325 million and $345 million.
- Anticipates the DefenCath Add-on rate for all four quarters of 2027 will exceed the current rate of $2.37.
- Expects the average Add-on rate for all four quarters in 2027 to equate to more than 2x the current rate of $2.37.
- Projects the DefenCath Add-on will decline in Q2 2027 compared to Q1 2027, but increase in Q3 and/or Q4 2027 compared to Q2 2027, subject to CMS utilization data application.
Business Segments and Product Lines:
- CMS released the 2027 End-Stage Renal Disease Prospective Payment System (ESRD PPS) final rule on October 28, 2026.
- The 2027 rule provides a post-TDAPA Add-on for DefenCath® (taurolidine and heparin) of $8.32 per dialysis session for Q1 2027.
- The Q1 2027 Add-on of $8.32 is within the Company's previously guided range of 3x-5x higher than the current $2.37 rate in effect for Q3 and Q4 2026.
- A new quarterly process for calculating Add-On adjustments has been established under the 2027 rule.
Market and Competitive Landscape:
- CorMedix notes statements made by a large dialysis organization (LDO) regarding the quarterly trajectory of 2027 DefenCath post-TDAPA Add-on payments.
- The Company states it has not provided the LDO or any other party with past or forecasted utilization or pricing data necessary to estimate future quarterly adjustments.
- CorMedix warns that third-party projections regarding future quarterly adjustments are subject to significant uncertainty without visibility into relevant utilization and pricing data.
Risks and Challenges:
- Actual CMS-determined quarterly Add-on rates and resulting full-year averages may differ materially from estimates due to changes in customer utilization patterns, pricing changes, or differences in CMS's application of calculation methodology.
- Increased reimbursement to dialysis facilities may not result in corresponding increases in CorMedix's realized pricing, product utilization, or revenue.
- Risks include continued pricing pressures, impacts of governmental and private payer actions on pricing and reimbursement, and reporting obligations.
- Potential risks include expiration or loss of intellectual property protection and competition from generic and biosimilar products.
