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.
