Vanda Pharmaceuticals reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $50.5 million, down 4% year over year, as growth in Fanapt and PONVORY was offset by lower HETLIOZ sales due to generic competition and shipment timing. The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue outlook and said operating expenses are expected to begin declining late this year, with larger reductions anticipated in 2027.
