IST achieved U.S. net product sales of $36.6 million in the second quarter, representing 26% year-over-year growth
Royalties portfolio generated $59.8 million in second quarter revenue
Launch of wholly-owned Strategic Healthcare Asset, Nortiva Bio, focused on novel extended-release drug delivery technology
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (“Innoviva” or the “Company”), a diversified biopharmaceutical company with a core royalties portfolio, a leading critical care and infectious disease platform known as Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics (“IST”), and a portfolio of strategic investments in healthcare assets, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and highlighted select corporate progress and achievements.
“Innoviva delivered another strong quarter, supported by durable cash generation from our royalty portfolio and continued excellent commercial momentum at IST, which achieved 46% year-over-year net product sales growth, including 26% growth in U.S. sales. We remain on track to achieve at least $150 million in IST U.S. net product sales in 2026, reflecting the differentiation of our marketed critical care and infectious disease portfolio and robust execution,” said Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva.
“Recently, we also advanced several growth opportunities. This quarter, we announced a commercialization and licensing agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, expanding access to our top-performing antibiotic, XACDURO, in emerging markets. Additionally, we launched Nortiva Bio, a novel platform for long-acting oral medicine delivery, with large upside potential.”
“Overall, we have been pleased with progress across our healthcare asset portfolio, despite market volatility. Our continued activity under the share repurchase program reflects our sustained conviction in the long-term prospects of our diversified business model -- one that combines durable cash generation, strong operating revenue growth, and value creation in high-potential strategic opportunities.”
