What's Driving PLX's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

AI-extracted from Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc.'s 10-Q filed 2026-05-13 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Protalix swung to $18.3M net income in Q1 2026, driven by a $25.0M Chiesi milestone payment for EU approval of Elfabrio's 2mg/kg dosage.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Product Sales$7.419M-26% YoY

Comprised of Pfizer Gaucher sales, Fiocruz Brazil sales, and Chiesi Fabry sales; decrease driven by timing of Pfizer purchases and Fiocruz deliveries.

Largest Expense Items

Research and Development$5.426M+56% YoY

Increase resulted primarily from preparations for and initiation of RELEASE study.

Cost of Revenues$4.127M-50% YoY

Decrease resulted from lower sales to Pfizer and Fiocruz, partially offset by Chiesi sales increase.

Selling, General, and Administrative$3.051M+17% YoY

Increase resulted primarily from $0.4M rise in salary and related expenses.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • Chiesi milestone dependency: $25.0M of Q1 revenue came from single Chiesi milestone; company expects minimal future license/R&D services revenue now that Elfabrio clinical development is complete.
  • Customer concentration in product sales: Pfizer represented 20% of Q1 2026 product revenue ($1.452M vs $6.979M YoY), driven by timing of purchases and vulnerable to Pfizer's inventory management decisions.
  • Fiocruz non-compliance risk: Brazil Agreement states Fiocruz has not satisfied certain purchase commitments; company continues discussing steps to maximize sales but relies on government orders.
  • Israel geopolitical exposure: Facilities are in Israel amid ongoing military conflict; company mitigates by storing drug substance in multiple locations inside and outside Israel; deemed essential enterprise allowing emergency operations.
  • R&D spending acceleration: Q1 2026 R&D expenses up 56% YoY to $5.4M due to RELEASE study initiation; company expects significant, increasing R&D expenses ahead.

AI Insight: PLX Financial Trends

Q1 2026 shows dramatic revenue acceleration to $34M and return to strong profitability with $18M net income, breaking a volatile 2025 trend.

Revenue surged 89% from Q4 2025 ($9M) to Q1 2026 ($34M), largest quarterly jump in dataset.

AI Insight: PLX Ratio Trends

Protalix swung to 62.6% operating margin in Q1 2026 after severe Q4 2025 loss, but extreme quarterly volatility masks underlying business instability.

Operating margin rebounded sharply to 62.6% in Q1 2026 from -51.1% in Q4 2025; net profit margin recovered to 54.3% from -60.3%.

TTM operating margin solidly positive at 25.9% with 20.1% net margin and 29.4% ROIC, reflecting improved recent quarter performance.

Last four quarters show violent swings: Q1 2025 OpMargin -41.0%, Q4 2025 -51.1%, interspersed with strong Q4 2024 at 39.6%.

Quarterly profitability is highly erratic with no clear seasonal pattern; Q1 2026 strength may not persist given recent volatility history.

D/E ratio missing for all periods; leverage profile unknown, limiting balance sheet risk assessment.
