iBio Reports Q1 Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Strengthened cash position and extended runway into the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027 after closing underwritten public offering with up to potentially $100 million of total gross proceeds
Presented non-human primate data for our potentially first-in-class Activin E antibody, IBIO-610, which may enable only twice-yearly dosing for the treatment of obesity
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iBio, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBIO), an AI-driven innovator of precision antibody therapies, today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update on its progress.
"Unveiling our promising non-human primate data for IBIO-610, our long acting Activin E Antibody, marked a pivotal milestone for iBio," said Martin Brenner, Ph.D., DVM, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of iBio. "The results demonstrate an extended half-life and the potential for highly convenient, low-frequency dosing, which could translate into improved patient compliance, while further validating our differentiated approach to fat-selective weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. Importantly, these findings reinforce IBIO-610's promise as a next-generation therapy for cardiometabolic and obesity diseases. As we enter 2026, we look forward to advancing IBIO-610 and our broader pipeline to bring durable, transformative therapies to patients in need."
First Fiscal Quarter 2026 & Recent Corporate Updates:
- Presented new non-human primate (NHP) data showing that IBIO-610, a potentially first-in-class Activin E antibody candidate, has a predicted human half-life of up to 100 days, consistent with dosing as infrequent as twice per year.
- The growing body of preclinical data supports IBIO-610's differentiated mechanism, enabling fat-selective, GLP-1–synergistic weight loss and sustained weight maintenance after GLP-1 therapy discontinuation.
- The findings, presented at ObesityWeek® 2025 and PEGS Europe, reinforce IBIO-610's potential as a next-generation antibody therapy for obesity and cardiometabolic disease.
- Closed a $50 million underwritten public offering of pre-funded warrants and common warrants, with potential for an additional $50 million in gross proceeds upon full exercise of the common warrant, for total potential gross proceeds of up to $100 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
- On November 4, 2025, iBio regained compliance with Nasdaq Lising Rule 5550(a)(2).
First Fiscal Quarter 2026 Financial Results:
- Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $0.1 million. No revenue was recognized for the three months ending September 30, 2024.
- Research and Development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, were $3.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $2.3 million. The increase in R&D expenses was due to advancing preclinical research activities to support the Company's IBIO-610, IBIO-600 and other preclinical pipeline assets.
- General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, were approximately $2.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease is mainly attributable to a reduction in professional expenses and legal fees.
- iBio held cash, cash equivalents and investments in debt securities of $49.6 million as of September 30, 2025, which is anticipated to be sufficient to support operations into the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027.
