Scinai Reports First Half 2026 Corporate Highlights and Results with Spotlight on Growing CDMO Momentum
Investor webinar scheduled for August 26, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
JERUSALEM, August 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.
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 €2.0 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 undersigned 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.
