Investor webinar scheduled for August 26, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
JERUSALEM, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Scinai Immunotherapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCNI) ("Scinai" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company combining innovative therapeutic development with a revenue-generating contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO"), today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Corporate Highlights
-- Committed Customer Orders1 reached approximately $3.1 million as of
August 16, 2026, of which approximately $2.1 million had been invoiced.
-- The Company is progressing an expanded clinical manufacturing and CMC
program for a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company building on an
existing contractual relationship and prior work performed through the
customer's affiliate.
-- Approximately $650 thousand in cash payments and advances have been
received in connection with the expanded U.S. program, and substantive
activities are underway while the definitive agreement covering the
broader scope and commercial terms remains under negotiation.
-- The expanded program is intended to support an investigational drug
product toward U.S. IND submission and Phase III clinical development.
-- The Company continues to pursue approximately $5 million in CDMO revenues
for 2026
First Half 2026 Financial Results
-- Revenues increased to $949 thousand, compared with $773 thousand for the
six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable
to the inclusion of revenues generated by the acquired Yavne operations
from the acquisition date. Revenue recognized during the period reflects
only the portion of customer engagements for which the applicable
services had been performed and revenue recognition criteria satisfied
through June 30, 2026, and does not reflect the full value of signed
customer work orders extending beyond the reporting period.
-- Cost of revenues increased to $3.3 million, compared to approximately
$2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily reflecting
the expanded cost base of our CDMO business following the acquisition and
consolidation of the Yavne operations, including additional personnel,
facility, depreciation and other manufacturing-related costs.
-- Gross loss was approximately $2.4 million, compared with approximately
$1.3 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the expanded operating
cost base of the Company's CDMO platform while facility utilization
continues to increase.
-- Research and development expenses decreased to approximately $0.8 million,
compared to approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2025 primarily reflecting a lower level of research and development
expenditures during the period and the continuing allocation of resources
toward our CDMO activities, partially offset by expenditures associated
with our current therapeutic development programs, including the PinCell
arrangement and NanoAb activities.
-- Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately
$1.4 million, compared to approximately $1.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2025 reflecting, among other things, the expanded
corporate and administrative requirements associated with the acquisition
and integration of the Yavne operations and operation of the enlarged
group structure.
-- Operating loss was approximately $4.6 million, compared with
approximately $3.8 million for the first half of 2025.
-- Net income was approximately $1.6 million, compared with a net loss of
approximately $4.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting
an approximately $6.4 million bargain purchase gain associated with the
acquisition of Recipharm Israel. The bargain purchase gain does not
represent operating revenue or operating cash flow.
-- Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.9 million,
compared with approximately $2.6 million in the first half of 2025.
-- Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled approximately $2.9
million as of June 30, 2026, and shareholders' equity was approximately
$11.7 million. At the closing of the acquisition, Recipharm Israel held
approximately EUR2.0 million in cash, alongside funds for certain
pre-closing expenses and liabilities. The acquired cash contributed to
the Company's post-acquisition liquidity position.
CEO Commentary
Amir Reichman, Chief Executive Officer of Scinai, commented:
"The first half of 2026 was focused on expanding and integrating our CDMO platform. As we move through the second half of the year, our focus is increasingly on commercial execution, increasing facility utilization and converting the capabilities we have built into revenue.
We are particularly encouraged by the expansion of an existing U.S. customer engagement from an initial feasibility and cGMP-readiness project into a broader proposed clinical manufacturing and CMC program designed to support a planned U.S. IND submission and Phase III clinical development with potential future expansion into commercial manufacturing. We have already received approximately $650 thousand in cash payments and advances and commenced substantive activities while the definitive agreement covering the expanded scope and commercial terms is being negotiated.
We believe this opportunity is significant not only because of its potential financial contribution, but also because successful execution would demonstrate our ability to support an advanced U.S. clinical development program through CMC development, manufacturing readiness and clinical cGMP manufacturing.
Our priorities for the remainder of 2026 are clear: execute our existing customer programs, convert our commercial pipeline into revenue, increase utilization of our Jerusalem and Yavne facilities, progress this significant U.S. opportunity and continue advancing our therapeutic programs with disciplined capital allocation."
R&D Update
Scinai continues to pursue a capital-efficient development strategy focused on PC111 and its NanoAbs platform.
For PC111, the Company is evaluating its funding and development path, including potential participation in a future Polish FENG funding round, and is in discussions with PinCell regarding a potential extension of the existing option arrangement.
For the NanoAbs platform, Scinai continues to prioritize its systemic IL-17 bispecific antibody program and its research collaboration and license arrangements with the Max Planck Society and University Medical Center Göttingen.

(1) Committed Customer Orders
-- We define "committed customer orders" as the aggregate value of signed
customer purchase orders for specified CDMO services under existing
contractual arrangements, whether or not such amounts have been invoiced.
Management uses committed customer orders as an indicator of committed
commercial activity and anticipated CDMO utilization, and we believe this
measure provides investors with useful information regarding the value of
customer-authorized projects under signed purchase orders.
-- Committed customer orders are presented for supplemental informational
purposes only and are not intended as a substitute for GAAP financial
measures. Although customer purchase orders are generally non-cancellable,
committed customer orders should not be interpreted as an indication of
future revenue or cash receipts. The timing and amount of revenue
recognition and cash payments depend on various factors, including
performance of the applicable services, achievement of contractual
milestones and satisfaction of the relevant accounting criteria. Projects
may also be delayed, modified or remain open for extended periods.
