Mannkind Corp.: Q2 FY2026 earnings call

What management said about Q2 FY2026, from the documents filed with the SEC on 5 August 2026: press release. The quarter’s numbers.

Key takeaways

  • Total revenues rose 43%: Total revenues were $109.4 million against $76.5 million a year earlier. The company attributed the rise to the Furoscix addition via the scPharma acquisition, higher collaborations and services revenue, and royalties. Source
  • Furoscix net sales reached $22.2M: Furoscix net sales were $22.2 million in the quarter, from the product acquired with scPharma on October 7, 2025. Source
  • Gross margin fell with Furoscix: Commercial cost of goods sold was $14.4 million, against $4.6 million a year earlier. Gross margin percentage fell because Furoscix carries a lower margin than Afrezza. Source
  • SG&A rose 84% on Furoscix: Selling, general and administrative expense was $58.3 million, up 84%. The company linked the rise to Furoscix promotion and to expanded field teams for the two recent approvals. Source
  • Early Afrezza pediatric prescribing: Management reported early momentum in the Afrezza pediatric launch. One in three of the top 100 pediatric insulin writers have prescribed the product. Source
  • INFLO-1 topline data reported: Topline data from the U.S. Phase 1b INFLO-1 study of nintedanib DPI (MNKD-201) in IPF patients were reported. The Q1 release had expected these data in Q3 2026. Source
  • Cash and investments down to $111M: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $111 million at June 30, 2026, against $134 million at March 31, 2026. Source

“The two recent FDA approvals are expected to fuel our near-term growth opportunities to help patients living with diabetes, heart failure and CKD.”

What changed from last quarter

Revenue and loss for the quarter

  • Royalties up 4% on Tyvaso DPI: Royalties were $32.4 million, up 4%, reflecting United Therapeutics’ higher net revenue from Tyvaso DPI sales. Source

Costs and gross margin

  • Gross margin fell with Furoscix: Commercial cost of goods sold was $14.4 million, against $4.6 million a year earlier. Gross margin percentage fell because Furoscix carries a lower margin than Afrezza. Source
