Milan, 28th July 2026 – The Board of Directors of Recordati S.p.A. approved the interim financial statements as of June 30, 2026, pursuant to Art. 154-ter of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 and subsequent amendments, prepared in accordance with said Decree and the CONSOB Issuers Regulation. The statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 requirements for interim reporting, based on the assessment, measurement and recognition criteria set by the IFRSs. The interim financial statements on June 30, 2026 – as well as the Independent Auditors’ report on such statements - will be available within the legal deadline at the company’s offices and on the company’s website (www.recordati.com) and can also be viewed on the authorized storage system 1Info (www.1Info.it).
Rob Koremans, Chief Executive Officer of Recordati, commented: “Our strong first half performance reflects the strength of our diversified portfolio and the disciplined execution of our strategy. Rare Diseases remains the key growth driver, with Isturisa® delivering another excellent quarter driven by expanded physician adoption, increased patient demand and improved commercial execution. As planned, we are stepping up our investments to support the future growth of our Rare Diseases portfolio with the U.S. expansion of Isturisa® and other lifecycle management initiatives including sutimlimab for ITP and Qarziba® in the U.S. We further strengthened our pipeline through our licensing agreement with Ionis, adding a late-stage development program for Alexander disease that has the potential to address a devastating disease with no approved treatment options. We remain well positioned to build on this momentum and continue creating long-term value.”
H1 2026 Financial highlights
Pipeline Development
The osilodrostat (Isturisa®) Phase IV study in patients with hypertension caused by hypercortisolemia due to Cushing’s syndrome is expected to begin enrollment in August 2026.
The Phase 2 trial evaluating pasireotide for the treatment of post-bariatric hypoglycemia met its primary endpoint with a dose-dependent and significant increase in glucose levels during a standardized meal test (p<0.02)(9). The Phase 3 development plan is expected to be finalized by the end of 2026.
On the basis of encouraging FDA feedback as well as early clinical evidence showing that sutimlimab, by targeting the classical complement pathway, can lead to a rapid and sustained platelet response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) refractory to multiple lines of treatment, Recordati expects to advance sutimlimab into a pivotal registrational Phase 3 trial for the treatment of chronic ITP at the beginning of 2027.
The other lifecycle management programs are progressing in line with plans.
Corporate Development
On January 29, 2026, Recordati announced a collaboration and license agreement with Moderna to develop and commercialize worldwide mRNA-3927, an investigational product for the treatment of propionic acidemia (PA). Under the terms of the agreement, Moderna will continue to lead the development of mRNA-3927, in collaboration with Recordati, and if approved, Recordati will lead global commercialization. mRNA-3927 is a post proof-of-concept, investigational product aimed to restore propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme activity in patients with propionic acidemia. If approved, this could be the first disease-modifying treatment option on the market for this severe disease. mRNA-3927 is currently being evaluated in a potential registrational clinical study. The target patient enrollment has been reached, with a data readout expected by the end of 2026.
On June 25, 2026, Recordati announced a license agreement with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for exclusive development and commercialization rights to zilganersen, an investigational RNA-targeted medicine for the treatment of Alexander disease (AxD), in all countries outside the U.S. Recordati will be responsible for regulatory filings and commercialization outside the U.S., including country-specific support for early access pathways based on local regulations and access dynamics. Ionis will maintain sole commercial responsibility for zilganersen in the U.S. and will continue to lead development globally. Alexander disease is a rare, progressive and often fatal neurological disorder caused by mutations in the GFAP gene. The disease affects astrocytes, critical support cells in the brain, leading to progressive loss of neurological function, including mobility, independence, swallowing and breathing. There are currently no approved disease-modifying therapies for AxD.
