Strong growth in February/March following January seasonality
Net revenue approaches US$100M since launch
NEW YORK, April 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesoblast Limited (Nasdaq:MESO; ASX:MSB), global leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today announced Ryoncil® (remestemcel-L-rknd) net sales were US$30.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.1 Strong sales in February and March offset holiday seasonality in January. Revenue generated during this first year of Ryoncil® launch approaches US$100 million.
Ryoncil® revenue strengthens Mesoblast's balance sheet and supports label extension and late-stage blockbuster programs. Ryoncil® is the first mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any indication and is the only FDA-approved product for children under age 12 with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGvHD).2
“Revenue for Ryoncil® continues to be impressive,” said Mesoblast Chief Executive Dr. Silviu Itescu. “We will outline our growth strategy for Ryoncil® as well as our robust late-stage product pipeline at our inaugural R&D event this week.”
Mesoblast will host its inaugural R&D Day on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, in New York City. The event will be webcast live from 8:00am to 11:00am EST and will include presentations from Mesoblast’s senior leadership team and from key opinion leaders.

About Mesoblast
Mesoblast (the Company) is a world leader in developing allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines for the treatment of severe and life-threatening inflammatory conditions. The therapies from the Company’s proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy technology platform respond to severe inflammation by releasing anti-inflammatory factors that counter and modulate multiple effector arms of the immune system, resulting in significant reduction of the damaging inflammatory process.
Mesoblast’s Ryoncil® (remestemcel-L-rknd) for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD) in pediatric patients 2 months and older is the first FDA-approved mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy. Please see the full Prescribing Information at www.ryoncil.com.
Mesoblast is committed to developing additional cell therapies for distinct indications based on its remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L allogeneic stromal cell technology platforms. Ryoncil® is being developed for additional inflammatory diseases including SR-aGvHD in adults and biologic-resistant inflammatory bowel disease. Rexlemestrocel-L is being developed for heart failure and chronic low back pain. The Company has established commercial partnerships in Japan, Europe and China.
