|
€(20.8) million, reflecting a planned increase in operating expenses to €45.0 million (+17% year-over-year) to support pipeline expansion and long-term value creation |

Medincell continues to transition towards multiple commercialized innovative products based on its technology, increasingly supporting milestone and recurring royalty revenues. FY 2025–26 reflects this trend, with strong growth in UZEDY® royalties and a disciplined increase in investments to support future growth. As anticipated, year-over-year comparisons are impacted by the absence of non-recurring milestone revenues recorded in the prior year, which affects the comparability of total revenues.
Christophe Douat, CEO of Medincell, said:
“FY 2025–26 reflects an important transition phase for Medincell. Building on UZEDY’s strong performance and the expected commercial launch of Olanzapine LAI by our partner Teva later this year, we are advancing the next phase of our ‘Shift to Growth’ strategy.
We are building a pipeline of highly differentiated, innovation-driven products designed to deliver sustainable value for patients, partners and shareholders, while generating milestones and recurring high-margin revenues over time.”.
Stéphane Postic, CFO of Medincell, said:
“FY 2025–26 reflects the continued shift toward recurring royalties, supported by the continued expansion of our product portfolio and platform.
Our financial profile is evolving as expected, with increased investment supporting the expansion of our pipeline and long-term value creation.
With a strong balance sheet and growing visibility on future royalty streams, we are confident in our path toward sustainable profitability.”

|||
A- Net cashflow from operating activities
Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to €(24.6) million, compared with €19.5 million in the previous year, reflecting increased operating expenses and change in working capital, primarily due to the $35.0 million upfront payment from AbbVie in FY2024-2025. This was partly offset by the continued growth in UZEDY® royalty revenues.
B- Net cashflow from investing activities
Cash flow allocated to investing activities decreased from €(13.2) million to €(10.5) million over the fiscal year. As of March 31, 2026, the Company held €22.0 million in low-risk short-term investments that will generate additional financial income. Capital expenditure and financial income remained stable compared to the previous year.
C- Net cashflow from financing activities
Net cash flow from financing activities amounted to €38.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, mainly reflecting the March 2026 capital raise of €48.2 million (€44.9 million net of issuance costs). The debt repayment increased by €0.6 million to €4.7 million. During fiscal year 2024-2025, the Company also completed a capital raise net of €39.5 million in cash.

Revenue and other income: €24.3 million
For the year ending March 31, 2026, revenues and other income were €24.3 million and comprised:
- Royalties on net sales of UZEDY® of €9.3 million (vs. €6.5 million in the prior year, +42%), reflecting the increasing contribution of royalties to the revenue mix. In U.S. dollars, royalties increased from $7.1 million to $10.9 million (+54% year-over-year).
- No milestone revenue booked for the year ending March 31, 2026, compared to €4.8 million in the prior year which related to the completion of the Phase 3 study for olanzapine LAI. The absence of such non-recurring revenue largely explains the year-over-year decrease in total revenue.
-
Other partnership revenues of €10.2 million (vs. €13.5 million in the prior year), including mainly:
- AbbVie collaboration: €6.4 million, slightly lower year-over-year, reflecting the timing and nature of IND-enabling activities;
- Other collaborations, including Global Health programs and early-stage activities with undisclosed partners: €3.6 million.
- Other income of €4.8 million (vs. €2.3 million in the prior year), primarily consisting of Research Tax Credit, reflecting increased R&D activities.
Current operating expenses: €45.0 million
Current operating expenses were €45.0 million, up €6.5 million (+17%) year-over-year, reflecting the planned acceleration of R&D and platform investments, together with the scaling of commercial, business development and support functions.
- R&D expenses amounted to €26.5 million (vs. €24.3 million), representing approx. 60% of total operating expenses, driven by ongoing development activities.
- Business development and Marketing expenses were €4.2 million (vs. €3.3 million), reflecting increased partnership activity and team expansion across the U.S., Asia and Europe.
- General and administrative expenses were €14.3 million (vs. €10.9 million), primarily reflecting the necessary scaling of support functions, continued investment in IT and cybersecurity, and strengthened governance.
Net financial result: €(10.6) million
Net financial loss was €(10.6) million, compared to €(7.4) million in the prior year, primarily driven by a €5.4 million non-cash fair value adjustment related to the EIB warrants, reflecting the increase in Medincell’s share price. This accounting has no impact on cash. It has been recognized since the beginning of the EIB loan in 2022 and is expected to cease following ongoing negotiations with EIB and subject to shareholders’ approval at the September 2026 General Meeting.
About Medincell
Medincell is a clinical- and commercial-stage innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company developing and licensing long-acting injectable treatments across multiple therapeutic areas. Our innovative treatments are designed to ensure adherence to medical prescriptions, enhance the effectiveness and accessibility of medicines, and reduce their environmental impact.
These treatments combine active pharmaceutical ingredients with our proprietary BEPO® / BEPO® Star technologies, which enables controlled drug delivery at therapeutic levels for several days, weeks, or months following a subcutaneous or local injection of a small, fully bioresorbable depot.
Risperidone LAI was the first treatment based on BEPO® technology to receive FDA approval, initially for schizophrenia in April 2023, and subsequently for Bipolar I Disorder in October 2025. It is marketed in the United States by Teva under the brand name UZEDY®. Medincell’s risperidone LAI was also approved for schizophrenia in Canada and South Korea in 2025.
A New Drug Application (NDA) for Olanzapine LAI as a once-monthly treatment for schizophrenia in adults was submitted to the U.S. FDA in December 2025 by Medincell’s partner, Teva. U.S. FDA accepted Teva’s New NDA for Olanzapine LAI on February 20, 2026. A European Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) was also accepted by EMA in May 2026.
Medincell’s investigational pipeline includes numerous innovative therapeutic candidates in various stages of development, from formulation to Phase 3 clinical trials. We collaborate with leading pharmaceutical companies and foundations to advance global health through new treatment options.
Headquartered in Montpellier, France, Medincell employs over 140 people representing more than 25 nationalities.
