MIAMI, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBIO) (“Fortress”), an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring and advancing assets to enhance long-term value for shareholders through product revenue, equity holdings and dividend and royalty income, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., Fortress’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter of 2026 marked a pivotal period for Fortress, highlighted by significant execution across our portfolio and meaningful progress in enhancing long‑term shareholder value. The FDA approval of ZYCUBO® for Menkes disease and the subsequent monetization of Cyprium’s PRV for $205 million represent important validation of our business model. We deployed a portion of these proceeds to strengthen our balance sheet through debt reduction, lowering our outstanding principal with Oaktree to $15.0 million. We also continued to expand our pipeline through business development, including Avenue’s acquisition of ATX‑04 from Duke University, a clinically validated program with the potential to address significant unmet need in Pompe disease.”

Dr. Rosenwald added, “Looking ahead, we expect to generate increasing royalty revenue from ZYCUBO® and UNLOXCYT™, along with potential milestone payments across our portfolio. In parallel, AstraZeneca’s regulatory submissions in the EU and Japan for anselamimab (formerly known as CAEL-101), underscore the continued optionality within our partnered assets for potential future sales milestones for Fortress and approval milestones in the U.S. We have a diversified portfolio of commercial, late‑stage, and development‑stage programs and Fortress is well positioned to advance strategic initiatives and drive long‑term value for our shareholders.”
