Medicus Pharma Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2026 / Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ:MDCX) (“Medicus” or the “Company”), a biotech/life sciences company focused on advancing the clinical development programs of novel and potentially disruptive therapeutic assets, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update highlighting significant regulatory, clinical and strategic achievements across its development portfolio.

During the second quarter of 2026, Medicus continued to advance its transition into a diversified clinical-stage biotechnology company with meaningful progress and significant strengthening of its financial position to support execution across its growing pipeline.

During and subsequent to the quarter, the Company achieved several important regulatory milestones, including FDA “Study May Proceed” authorization for the registrational SkinJect® program in Gorlin Syndrome and Institutional Review Board (IRB) authorization and positive FDA feedback for optimized Teverelix® Phase 2 study in acute urinary retention. The company also received authorization from UAE Department of Health (DOH) to initiate genomics-enabled PRECISION-E2 study evaluating Teverelix® in women with symptomatic endometriosis.

We believe that these achievements further position Medicus as a diversified clinical-stage biotech/life sciences company with two differentiated therapeutic platforms, multiple anticipated clinical and regulatory catalysts, and a disciplined strategy focused on advancing innovative therapies towards late-stage development and commercialization.

Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2026 marked a defining period for Medicus as we successfully advanced both of our lead therapeutic platforms into their next stages of clinical and regulatory development, while strengthening our balance sheet and financial flexibility,” stated Dr. Raza Bokhari, Medicus Executive Chairman and CEO. “We believe Medicus is well positioned with two differentiated programs advancing towards late-stage development, each addressing significant commercial opportunities through distinct regulatory pathways and multiple anticipated value-creating milestones. We remain focused on disciplined execution, regulatory excellence and strategic growth as we continue building long-term shareholder value.”

Financial Highlights (Q2 2026)

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company significantly strengthened its financial position through multiple financing initiatives, including utilization of its expanded At-the-Market (“ATM”) equity program and completion of a new secured financing facility. Year to date, the Company has raised ~$40 million in equity and/or debt financing.

These initiatives enhanced the Company’s liquidity and financial flexibility to support continued advancement of its expanding clinical development programs. Nonetheless, substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.

As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, financial results include:

• Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: $25.2 million as of June 30, 2026.
• Cash and cash equivalents: $15.2 million as of June 30, 2026 (vs. $9.7 million as of June 30, 2025).
• Operating expenses (loss from operations): $11.5 million (vs. $6.0 million in Q2 2025).
• General and administrative expenses: $6.6 million (vs. $4.6 million in Q2 2025).
• Research and development expenses: $4.9 million (vs. $1.4 million in Q2 2025).
• Net loss: $11.7 million (vs. $6.2 million in Q2 2025).
• Net loss per share: $0.21 (vs. $0.43 in Q2 2025).

The Company’s complete unaudited financial statements and results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, are included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2026.
