Q1 2026 earnings summary
1 Jun, 2026Executive summary
Achieved first commercial revenue of $3.94 million in December 2025 with the launch of LYMPHIR, an oncology immunotherapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), following FDA approval in August 2024.
Transitioned from a development-stage to a commercial-stage oncology company, focusing on accelerating physician adoption and expanding patient access using an AI-enabled commercial platform.
Net loss for the quarter was $5.53 million, an improvement from $6.66 million in the prior year period, driven by gross profit from initial product sales.
Advanced international access through regional partners and Named Patient Programs in Europe and the Middle East.
Company remains dependent on external financing and support from its parent, with substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern beyond May 2026.
Financial highlights
Net revenue for the quarter was $3.94 million, with gross profit of $3.2 million (80% gross margin).
Operating expenses totaled $8.41 million, up from $6.39 million year-over-year, mainly due to increased stock-based compensation.
Net loss for the quarter was $5.5 million, or $(0.06) per share, compared to $(0.09) per share in the prior-year period.
Cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end were $7.3 million; negative working capital of $7.6 million.
Net proceeds of $15.1 million were raised from a December 2025 equity offering.
Outlook and guidance
Sufficient funds are expected to support operations through May 2026; additional capital will be required thereafter.
Revenue is anticipated to grow as LYMPHIR gains market acceptance, with ongoing efforts to expand field presence and drive efficient market penetration.
Strategic alternatives are being evaluated with Jefferies LLC as exclusive financial advisor.
Investigator-initiated Phase I studies underway for potential label expansion, including combinations with pembrolizumab and as part of lymphodepletion regimens before CAR-T therapy.
