Current report

Oncology revenue, primarily derived from research services, totaled $15.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.2 million or 8.8%.

Current report

•Pharmacology services revenue increased for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to increased sales and improved conversion rates, with a greater proportion of contracted work converting to revenue.

Current report

•Data license revenue increased to $893,000 for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $311,000 in the same period in 2025, reflecting increased commercial activity around our data offerings. We continue to see a growing pipeline of opportunities as we expand our commercial efforts and customer engagement in this area.

Current report

•Other TOS revenue decreased for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower flow cytometry and Lumin SaaS revenue as the Company continued to shift its strategic focus and investment away from these areas of the business.

Current report

Cost of oncology revenue decreased $461,000 or 5.8% to $7.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, as compared to $8.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower outsourced laboratory service costs, including radiolabeling work performed by third-party laboratories, partially offset by higher royalty costs associated with the increase in revenue.

Previous report

Oncology revenue, primarily derived from research services, totaled $16.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to $17.0 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $480,000 or 2.8%. Oncology revenue, primarily derived from research services, totaled $45.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2026, compared to $44.6 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.0 million or 2.2%.

Previous report

•Pharmacology services revenue increased for both the three- and nine- month periods ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase reflects modest improvement in bookings and conversion of previously booked studies into revenue, as well as the timing of study completion during the quarter. Bookings represent the total value of signed statements of work and convert to revenue over time as the Company fulfills its contractual performance obligations. The level of study activity reaching completion during a given quarter can vary depending on the timing and progress of individual studies.

Previous report

•Revenue from TOS data licenses was $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2026, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2025. The prior-year amount reflects the recognition of a single data license transaction during that period. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, TOS data license revenue totaled $0.5 million, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2025.

Previous report

•Other TOS revenue decreased for both the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. Flow cytometry services revenue decreased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and $1.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to lower clinical bookings and a strategic de-emphasis on this part of our business. The decrease in Other TOS revenue also reflects lower SaaS revenue during the current periods.

Previous report

Cost of oncology revenue increased $2.2 million or 33.5% to $8.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, as compared to $6.6 million in the prior year period. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, cost of oncology revenue increased $3.0 million or 14.1% to $24.1 million, as compared to $21.1 million in the prior year period. The increases for both periods were primarily attributable to outsourced laboratory services, including more than $2.0 million of radiolabeling work performed by third-party laboratories during the current quarter. Management expects that as this radiolabeling work transitions into Champions’ laboratories over the coming quarters, the Company will benefit from a more favorable cost structure.

Previous report

Research and development expense increased for both the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2026 compared to the prior-year periods. The increases were primarily driven by higher outsourced laboratory service costs, including sequencing work performed by third-party providers to support the development of the Company’s data licensing platform, as well as increased compensation expenses associated with these initiatives.
Reworded paragraphs (8)

Previous wording

Our liquidity needs have typically arisen from the funding of our research and development programs and the launch of new products, working capital requirements, and other strategic initiatives. In the past, we have met these cash requirements through our cash on hand, working capital management, proceeds from certain private placements and public offerings of our securities, and sales of products and services. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had a net loss of $508,000 and net income of $6.5 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $80.4 million, negative working capital of $492,000 and cash of $7.1 million. For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, the Company used cash flow in operations of approximately $2.5 million. Despite our negative working capital at this date and cash used in operations for the period, we believe that our cash on hand, together with expected cash flows from operations, are adequate to fund operations through at least March 2027. Should the Company be required to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance that management would be successful in raising such capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
