Reaffirming Fiscal 2025 Revenue and EBITDA guidance; revising long-term outlook to reflect potential timing of FDA review for Hyalofast launch
BEDFORD, Mass., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANIK), a global leader in the osteoarthritis ('OA') pain management and regenerative solutions spaces focused on early intervention orthopedics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Second Quarter 2025 Results
Anika reported second quarter revenue from continuing operations of $28.2 million, an 8% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. Commercial Channel revenue was flat year-over-year, while OEM Channel revenue, which includes U.S. OA Pain Management, was down 13% in line with expectations. The decline was driven by lower pricing for Monovisc ® and Orthovisc ®, sold by our commercial partner, J&J MedTech.
Cheryl Blanchard, President and CEO of Anika Therapeutics, commented: "We continue to see strength in our Commercial Channel with Regenerative Solutions revenue increasing 41% in the quarter driven by Integrity's outperformance and continued strong International Hyalofast growth. International OA Pain Management revenue was modestly lower in the quarter; however, remained flat through the first half of 2025, reflecting increased order demand in Q2 2024 and the temporary impact of our recent production yield issues. Importantly, there was no impact on delivery of products to patients as a result of these temporary issues and in June we returned to full production. After a challenging first quarter, pricing for US OA Pain Management products rebounded in the second quarter and is expected to represent the high point for the year. As previously communicated, we anticipate a more pronounced decline in pricing during the second half of 2025, with normalization expected as we enter 2026 as end-user pricing for Monovisc and Orthovisc converge more in line with market competitors. From an expense perspective, we continue to make excellent progress on our cost-saving measures, resulting in a 17% decline in operating expenses for the quarter.'
Dr. Blanchard continued: 'Earlier today we announced topline results of our U.S. Hyalofast clinical trial. While we are disappointed that the study did not meet its pre-specified co-primary endpoints, we are encouraged by the consistent improvements Hyalofast demonstrated over microfracture, including statistically significant improvements in pre-defined secondary endpoints and other measures. These results, combined with clinical data from over 15-years of successful real-world use in Europe, reinforce our confidence in Hyalofast's potential to address a critical unmet need in cartilage repair. We remain committed to advancing this breakthrough therapy and look forward to submitting the final PMA module to the FDA later this year, as planned.'
Strong Integrity Commercial Performance and Portfolio Expansion
Integrity procedures grew for the fifth consecutive quarter and are on track to significantly outpace the overall growth of the U.S. soft tissue augmentation market. During the quarter, Anika received FDA 510(k) clearance to expand the Integrity platform with new shapes and sizes. The newly cleared 40x60mm and 25x60mm Integrity implants are expected to be available for a limited release in the U.S. by year-end, initially targeting Achilles repair in the foot and other larger tendon applications in the knee and hip. These additions are anticipated to drive increased adoption and support continued commercial momentum into 2026.
International OA Pain Management in Line with Previous Quarters
Anika's International Sales organization continues to deliver strong results, driven by increased market share and successful entry into new markets. Second quarter revenue grew 5% sequentially, though declined 10% year-over-year, primarily due to order timing in 2024 and the temporary impact of recent production-related yield issues. Anika expects the effects of the production yield issues to be fully resolved by the end of the third quarter and remains confident in its ability to achieve full-year 2025 International OA Pain Management growth projections.
Hyalofast Clinical Study Results and Program Update
Earlier today, Anika announced topline results from its U.S. Phase III FastTRACK clinical trial evaluating Hyalofast, a single-stage, resorbable, hyaluronic acid scaffold for cartilage repair. Although the study did not achieve its pre-specified co-primary endpoints for pain and function, Hyalofast demonstrated consistent improvements over microfracture, including statistically significant improvements in secondary endpoints and other measures such as KOOS Sports and Recreation Function, Quality of Life, and Total KOOS. The study was likely impacted by both a higher subject dropout rate in the microfracture arm and missed visits during COVID. Based on the strength and consistency of the overall data including clinical data from independent clinical studies performed outside the U.S over the past 15 years, Anika intends to submit the final PMA module in the second half of 2025 as previously disclosed. Please refer to the press release issued this morning for additional details.
Progress on Final Steps to Cingal NDA Filing
During the quarter, Anika advanced key activities toward filing the NDA for Cingal, its novel, next-generation, non-opioid, single-injection OA Pain Management product, consisting of its proprietary cross-linked hyaluronic acid combined with a fast-acting steroid. These activities included progress on the ongoing toxicity studies and preparations for the bioequivalence study planned to start later this year. The completion of these two studies will mark a significant milestone and remain the final requirements for NDA submission in the U.S.
Operations Update
Anika has resolved the production yield issues it faced earlier this year. Throughout this period, the company maintained uninterrupted product supply to ensure no impact on patient treatments. The current focus is on replenishing distributor inventory levels through the third quarter. With improvements now in place, Anika expects increased throughput of Monovisc and Cingal, and is enhancing plant capacity to support future growth.
Update on Previously Announced Divestitures
Anika has now successfully completed all material transitional services with respect to the sale of both Arthrosurface and Parcus Medical.

Non-GAAP Financial Information 1
Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, the Company's reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, the Company's definition of non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, Anika strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it uses them as supplemental measures in internally assessing the Company's operating performance, and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, it is set as a key performance metric to determine executive compensation. The Company also recognizes that these non-GAAP measures are commonly used in determining business performance more broadly and believes that they are helpful to investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding depreciation and amortization, interest and other income (expense), income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, and shareholder activism costs.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations
Adjusted net income (loss) is defined by the Company as GAAP net income from continuing operations, on a tax effected basis, excluding stock-based compensation. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations is defined by the Company as GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding stock-based compensation.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations to net income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to diluted EPS from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is shown in the tables at the end of this release.
