Cerus Corporation reported strong first quarter 2026 results with higher revenue and a sharply lower net loss. Total revenue was $59.9 million, up 23% from $48.9 million a year earlier, driven by 24% product revenue growth to $53.7 million and 120% demand growth for INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex.
Product gross profit rose to $27.9 million, though product gross margin declined to 52.0% from 58.8% due to prior-year one-time benefits and current inflation, currency, and tariff impacts. Operating expenses fell 7% to $34.5 million, helping reduce net loss attributable to Cerus to $1.6 million, or $0.01 per share, from $7.7 million, or $0.04 per share.
The company generated non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million versus $0.2 million a year earlier and ended March 31, 2026 with $80.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Cerus raised its 2026 product revenue guidance to a range of $227 million to $231 million, including IFC revenue between $22 million and $24 million, reflecting expected growth of 10% to 12% from 2025.
Cerus Corporation is asking stockholders to vote at its June 2, 2026 virtual annual meeting on four key items: electing two directors, expanding its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan by 10 million shares, approving executive pay on an advisory basis, and ratifying Ernst & Young LLP as auditor for 2026.
The proxy also highlights Cerus’ INTERCEPT Blood System franchise and 2025 results, including $206.1 million in product revenue, a narrowed GAAP net loss of $15.6 million, positive non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $9.5 million, and positive operating cash flow for a second year.
Cerus Corporation adopted a new executive severance plan that standardizes payouts for several senior officers if they are terminated without cause or resign for good reason, particularly around a change of control. The plan covers the CFO, COO, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Legal Officer.
Following a qualifying termination within 12 months after a change of control, participants receive a lump sum equal to 18 months of base salary and 1.5 times their target annual cash bonus, along with up to 18 months of paid COBRA premiums and full acceleration of all outstanding equity awards. For Vivek Jayaraman when serving as Chief Executive Officer, these change-of-control severance amounts increase to 24 months of base salary, two times target bonus and up to 24 months of COBRA.
Outside a change of control, the plan provides Mr. Green and Ms. Jensen (and Mr. Jayaraman while COO) with 12 months of salary continuation and up to 12 months of COBRA coverage. If Mr. Jayaraman is President and Chief Executive Officer at the time of a qualifying non-change-of-control termination, he also receives full equity acceleration and, for terminations after September 30, a prorated annual cash bonus based on his target opportunity and time worked.
