Pacira reports Q2 EPS 78c, consensus 76c

Reports Q2 revenue $169.5M, consensus $174.6M. “We were pleased to see EXPAREL year-over-year growth rates improve as the quarter progressed, with a meaningful uptick in June. Solid year-over-year growth continued in July, leaving us optimistic for a stronger second half of the year given improving market conditions and rising demand for joint replacements and other elective surgeries. We also expect to benefit from several ongoing growth initiatives in the second half of 2023, such as continued volume expansion for existing and new 340B customers, as well as new initiatives with oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Plastics, Outpatient, and Sports Management.” said Dave Stack, chairman and chief executive officer of Pacira.
