Release Date: September 14, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Revenue grew 21% year over year to $3.8 million, marking five consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth. Gross margin expanded to 59% from 48% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting improved operational efficiency. MindWalk Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:HYFT) launched ReefIQ, a proprietary data platform with a multi-year recurring revenue model, and is engaged with multiple large pharmaceutical companies for enterprise deployments. The company secured a binding commitment for a USD 30 million unsecured revolving credit facility at a fixed 7% rate, providing financial flexibility without issuing equity. MindWalk Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:HYFT) has a strong client base, including 19 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, and is shifting to platform partnerships where it shares in the economics of created assets, with roughly 80% of its current funnel by value structured this way. Net loss from continuing operations increased to $6.1 million from $4.1 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by deliberate investments in sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses rose significantly to $3.2 million from $1.3 million, contributing to the larger loss. Cash balance decreased to $7.6 million from $11.3 million at the end of the previous quarter, with net cash used in operating activities at $4 million. ReefIQ enterprise negotiations are subject to gating factors such as IT security reviews, legal and procurement processes, and scoping, with no specific timeline for closure provided. Revenue growth is expected to be lumpy and hard to forecast in the near term, as initial ReefIQ agreements are milestone-based and depend on adoption speed. Q: How should investors think about revenue growth over the next 12 months and next 2 years, and will revenue stay around current levels until ReefIQ subscriptions ramp?A: CFO R. Scott Areglado said the initial ReefIQ agreements will likely be "relatively lumpy" by nature, as they are milestone-based with upfront engineering efforts before converting into annual recurring revenue. He noted it is hard to forecast and depends on how quickly ReefIQ is adopted, adding that once an agreement is announced, the company will take a deeper dive into the revenue model and expected recurring revenue timing. Q: What are the current gating factors in the ReefIQ negotiations with large pharma partners, and when do you expect them to convert in fiscal year 2027?A: CEO Jennifer Bath said gating factors differ by client but fall into three buckets: (1) IT security and data governance review, since ReefIQ sits inside a client's biological data and discovery workflows like a system of record; (2) legal and procurement, because these are multi-year platform relationships with a new contract shape versus historical project-based statements of work; and (3) scoping which programs and data domains the first deployment will cover. She declined to give a specific closing timeline but said negotiations are at various stages, including one group that has been a client for many years, has a SaaS-model subscription, and has been negotiating across multinational jurisdictions for quite some time. Q: What portion of the $3.8 million in first-quarter revenue was contracted recurring platform revenue?A: CEO Jennifer Bath clarified that ReefIQ, launched in June, is not yet in place as a data management platform and is not included in current revenue; the company is still negotiating those engagements. She noted MindWalk does have recurring revenue from SaaS-model subscriptions, which it has announced historically, but said the company does not break these out by cost centers. CFO Scott Areglado was asked to confirm but no further breakdown was provided. Q: What are pharma and biotech clients focused on in discussions are they more engaged with ReefIQ or LensAI subscriptions?A: CEO Jennifer Bath said the majority of leading conversations are partnership discussions, which are now mandatory with every client rather than an optional fee-for-service arrangement, and are backloaded but always include an upfront payment plus milestone and royalty structures. The second-largest area is ReefIQ, driven mainly by larger pharmaceutical companies juggling multiple jurisdictions and siloed data, who want to reduce hallucination and improve their AI models. She added that all data is fed back within LensAI, exposing clients to the SaaS-model subscription and base-layer applications, which has brought more clients to the table. Q: When do you expect the initial draw from the $30 million revolving credit facility, over what timeframe, and how will it be allocated between the ReefIQ commercial rollout and the biological programs?A: CFO R. Scott Areglado said the company has 60 days to complete the credit agreement and cannot draw until it is finalized. Capital will be drawn as needed for liquidity, and the company still has cash runway in the bank. CEO Jennifer Bath added that the facility gives flexibility to invest behind ReefIQ, advance the internal pipeline, and pursue opportunities without issuing equity. Q: Does the $30 million credit facility replace the ring-fenced, program-level Cayman-style financing structure?A: CEO Jennifer Bath said it "absolutely does not" replace that structure. She noted there are still interested parties investing in ring-fenced assets within the Cayman structure, and the company is roughly 90% to 95% of the way through completing the legal and tax planning efforts around setting up those structures. Q: What drove the larger net loss this quarter, and how should investors view the increased spending?A: CEO Jennifer Bath said the larger loss reflects deliberate investment behind the commercial opportunity ahead, with sales and marketing expense up $1.9 million to build a larger, more durable revenue base rather than just support the existing business. CFO R. Scott Areglado reported net loss and loss from continuing operations of $6.1 million versus $4.1 million a year earlier, with the prior-year quarter including $1.1 million of income from discontinued operations, making the periods not directly comparable. Q: What were the key financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027?A: CFO R. Scott Areglado reported revenue of $3.8 million, up 21% from $3.2 million a year earlier, marking five consecutive quarters of year-over-year growth. Gross margin expanded to $2.2 million, or 59%, from $1.5 million, or 48%. R&D rose to $1.3 million from $1 million on higher salary costs, sales and marketing rose to $3.2 million from $1.3 million, and G&A increased to $3.9 million from $3.3 million, mainly due to non-cash stock-based compensation. Cash was $7.6 million as of July 31, 2026, down from $11.3 million at April 30, with net cash used in operating activities of $4 million. Q: What progress has been made on ReefIQ enterprise adoption and the commercial model?A: CEO Jennifer Bath said MindWalk is engaged with multiple large pharmaceutical companies on potential enterprise deployments of ReefIQ, with discussions at varying levels of maturity, though the company is not yet ready to announce specific partners or contract values. She emphasized that ReefIQ's commercial model is built around multi-year recurring revenue relationships that deepen as clients expand usage, and warned investors not to use prior LensAI contracts as a benchmark because ReefIQ enterprise relationships are substantially larger in size and scope. Q: What is the significance of the AMD and Vultr infrastructure milestone, and how does it fit the strategy?A: CEO Jennifer Bath said MindWalk validated a production deployment of OpenFold3 on AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs with engineering partners AMD and Vultr, with the first results published that week. She explained that OpenFold3 is open source and available to any drug discovery team by design, because models commoditize while the layer they run on compounds every model run on ReefIQ enriches biological context for other programs. LensAI remains deliberately model neutral, so clients can bring their own or third-party models and still reason over the same context layer. Q: How is MindWalk reshaping its commercial relationships with pharmaceutical partners For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Noted that current market capitalization does not reflect the scale of the company's AI-enabled discovery platform or internal pipeline value. Clarified that the net loss increase reflects deliberate commercial investment and the absence of income from discontinued operations present in the prior year. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Negotiations are currently focused on IT security and data governance reviews, legal/procurement terms for multi-year relationships, and scoping specific data domains. Management declined to provide a specific closing timeline but confirmed they have a 'very good line of sight' on progress with groups already using the SaaS model. Current revenue does not yet include ReefIQ enterprise deployments as the platform was only released in June; current recurring revenue stems from historical SaaS subscriptions. Management does not currently break out revenue by specific cost centers but expects ReefIQ to represent a 'whole new level of engagement' once contracts close. Client interest is shifting toward 'lab-in-the-loop' integrated discovery, where in-silico work is intertwined with wet-lab validation to provide faster, data-driven decision-making. Fee-for-service is no longer offered as a standalone entry point; all new discovery discussions are now structured as partnership negotiations to align long-term incentives. The facility will be drawn as needed for liquidity once the credit agreement is finalized within 60 days, supplementing existing cash runway. This facility is separate from and does not replace the planned ring-fenced program-level financing structures for specific therapeutic assets.

A replay of this call will be available following its conclusion today. I will now turn the call over to Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer of MindWalk Holdings Corp. Please go ahead, Dr. Bath. Jennifer Bath: Thank you very much. Good afternoon. In this first quarter of fiscal year 2027, MindWalk advanced toward our goal of becoming the leading bio-native AI drug discovery and development company. In June, we launched ReefIQ, our proprietary data platform, and our focus is now on enterprise adoption. For those newer to the MindWalk story, ReefIQ is the substrate layer between complex, unstructured biological data and AI models. It turns that data into structured, biologically meaningful representations, so AI models deliver deeper, more actionable insights for our pharmaceutical partners. ReefIQ's commercial model is built around multi-year recurring revenue relationships that can scale as clients expand their use of the platform. Because ReefIQ is integrated directly into a client's biological data and the discovery workflows, these relationships are designed to deepen over time. As a trusted partner to many of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, we know how drug discovery works inside these organizations and what they need from a platform like ReefIQ. Those relationships give us a real advantage as we drive adoption. We have made good progress. We are engaged with multiple large pharmaceutical companies around potential enterprise deployments of ReefIQ. These discussions vary in maturity, and we are encouraged by how the platform is resonating with our clients. We are not yet in a position to announce specific partners or discuss contract values, but the level of engagement reinforces our conviction of the commercial opportunity. We look forward to providing additional updates as these discussions progressed. These opportunities are substantially larger than our historical LensAI recurring revenue agreements. Investors should not use prior LensAI contracts as a benchmark for the size or the scope of ReefIQ enterprise relationships. We have built a leading wet lab discovery franchise. Our clients include 19 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies. And every one of those relationships is a potential opening for ReefIQ. Two decades of biologics discovery work for our clients across multiple platforms and capabilities has already contributed to several dozen molecules reaching the clinic. 10 are in active Phase I through Phase III trials today, and 4 of those are first-in-class molecules. We are also reshaping how we structure our commercial relationships with our pharmaceutical partners. Increasingly, new engagements are being structured as broader platform partnerships where MindWalk participates in the economics of the assets we help create, rather than simply being paid for discrete projects. This structure aligns our incentives with our partners, has been well received by our clients, and is contributing to increased activity across our commercial funnel. Today, roughly 80% of our current funnel by value is now structured this way, spanning data management, ReefIQ, and multi-target discovery. We also reached a clear infrastructure milestone with our engineering partner, AMD and Vultr. We validated a production deployment of OpenFold3 on AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs. The first of those results are being published this week. OpenFold3 is open source and any drug discovery team can use it, which is exactly the point. Models commoditize. The layer they run on compounds. Every model run on ReefIQ enriches the biological context for every other program. And LensAI, our reasoning layer, is deliberately model-neutral. So a client can bring their own model, any open source one, or any third party, and still reason over that same context layer. The compute win simply gives us more room to run discovery and scale ReefIQ. This is a marquee week for that partnership with much more to come. Our internal pipeline continues to advance through preclinical development and we remain excited about the opportunity to drive value in this part of our business. Timelines there are hard to forecast, so we advance multiple programs in parallel and prioritize resources based on the strength of the data. This quarter, we added experienced leaders to accelerate our IND enabling work and move our best programs toward IND filings and the clinic. We will update the market as they hit scientific, regulatory, and development milestones. Finally, our capital position. This morning we announced a binding commitment for a USD 30 million in unsecured revolving credit facility at a fixed 7% rate drawn as needed. It gives us financial flexibility without issuing equity, which matters given where our stock trades, set against how AI enabled discovery platforms are valued in public and private markets. We do not believe our market capitalization reflects what we have built or the scale of what we are pursuing. This informs how we think about financing the business and makes this facility particularly attractive to us. This is not a response to a step change in our cash needs. Our model is not capital-intensive. The facility gives us the flexibility to invest behind ReefIQ, advance our internal pipeline, and pursue opportunities as they develop on terms that we believe are very favorable to MindWalk and its shareholders. Our focus is on execution, and we believe sustained delivery will be reflected in the stock over time. Turning to the quarter, revenue grew 21% year over year, and gross margin expanded to 59% from 48%. The larger loss this quarter reflects deliberate investment behind the commercial opportunity we see ahead of us. Sales and marketing expense increased by $1.9 million. We are investing to build a larger and more durable revenue base, not simply support the business we have today. On the bottom line, this quarter is not directly comparable to the same quarter last year, which included income from discontinued operations. With that, I will turn it over to Scott to take you through the numbers. Richard Areglado: Thank you, Jennifer, and good afternoon, everyone. I will take you through our first quarter fiscal year 2027 financial results. As a reminder, all figures are in Canadian dollars. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 was $3.8 million versus $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. This is an improvement of approximately $673,000 or 21%. That represents 5 quarters of consecutive year-over-year revenue growth. Gross margin was $2.2 million, or 59%, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, as compared to $1.5 million, or 48%, for the same quarter last year. Looking at operating expenses. For the quarter ended July 31, 2026, R&D was $1.3 million compared to $1 million in the same period last year. This increase is due primarily to increased salary costs to support the commercial development of our platform. Sales and marketing expenses were $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2027, as compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, which included non-recurring costs incurred in the quarter. As I mentioned in our prior call, these are planned investments in our commercial infrastructure and represent increased headcount to support our commercial initiatives, as well as investments in advertising and promotion. G&A increased to $3.9 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, as compared to $3.3 million for the same quarter last year. The increase is due primarily to non-cash stock-based compensation. Net loss and loss from continuing operations was $6.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, as compared to net loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2026. Overall net loss in the prior year was $3 million, which included $1.1 million of income from discontinued operations. Turning to the balance sheet. The company ended the quarter with cash balance of $7.6 million as of July 31, 2026. Net cash used in operating activities was $4 million compared to $4.2 million in the prior year quarter, due in part to non-cash expenses related to share-based payments. Cash was $11.3 million at April 30. I am also pleased with our announcement earlier today of a binding commitment for a USD 30 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility demonstrates confidence in our long-term strategy around our emerging pipeline and anticipated adoption of ReefIQ and provides the capital necessary to execute on that strategy. With that, I will turn the call back to Jennifer. Jennifer? Jennifer Bath: Thank you, Scott. As we've mentioned this morning, we announced the binding commitment for USD 30 million of unsecured capital without issuing a single share. And this gives us the runway to execute. The strategy is showing up in the business with revenue up 21% and gross margin at 59%. ReefIQ is a recurring revenue business and it compounds as clients adopt and expand. We are in active negotiations with multiple large pharma companies on ReefIQ enterprise deployments. You will hear from us as those conclude. As mentioned, do not measure them against our historical LensAI agreements. These are a different scale. On the discovery side, we are moving from discrete projects to platform partnerships where we share in the economics of the assets we help create. Both of these are happening with clients we already have a distribution advantage that no new entrants can buy. On top of that, our internal pipeline adds upside with catalysts ahead. The higher loss this quarter is an investment behind a larger opportunity. The market is moving toward exactly what we built and our job now is to lead it. Operator, we are ready for questions. Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. [Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Charles Wallace with H.C. Wainwright. Charles Wallace: So I guess for my first question, could you maybe help us understand what portion of the $3.8 million in the first quarter revenue was contracted reoccurring platform revenue? And I guess -- yes, I'll start there. Jennifer Bath: Scott, if you have those numbers before you, I don't know if we do have those broken out. I can say that if we're if by platform recurring revenue, we're referring to ReefIQ. ReefIQ is not a data management program or platform that is currently in place. These are the ones that we've just discussed negotiating, that is like a whole new level of engagement from clients that you'll definitely hear about as we proceed through that. And this was the platform that we just released in June, quite recently. Now, if it's recurring revenue or annual recurring revenue off of the SaaS model subscriptions, we do have that. We have announced that historically. I'm not sure that we have that broken out since we don't break these out by cost centers, but I can have Scott confirm. Charles Wallace: Okay, so I guess for my next question. So for the active negotiations that you mentioned with the multiple large pharma partners for the ReefIQ, which as you mentioned, just launched in June, what are the current gating factors in these negotiations? And when do you expect to see these convert in fiscal year 2027? Jennifer Bath: Fair question. So the gating factors between each group actually differ significantly. In terms of, sorry, we're getting a lot of feedback on our side. In terms of negotiations with clients on our side for gating factors, what we are seeking are primarily people who are already engaged with MindWalk, are running different programs already with MindWalk and primarily starting off with people who are also engaged through the SaaS model subscription. We do look at -- for large pharmaceutical companies, when they're moving into a vendor bringing a vendor into their core infrastructure. None of them are really about whether or not the platform works. They kind of fall in three buckets for us. The first big one is really about IT security and data governance review, which is something you've probably heard us talk a lot about over the last 6 months. ReefIQ is different in the sense that it sits inside of a client's biological data and its discovery workflows. And so it goes through the same enterprise security, data residency, and governance processes as really any system of record. The second one is legal and procurement. And these are multi-year platform relationships. So instead of like project statements of works that we've done historically with our large pharmaceutical client, and then also when we're sharing in the economics of different assets during co-development and partnership relationships. So the contract itself is a very new shape. It's very different than the historical contracts we've had. And so it's different for their procurement terms as well. And then I would say, Charles, probably the third component of that is the scoping and just agreeing which programs and which data domains that the first deployment are going to cover, so that it lands cleanly and then it's expanding from there. And so I would say those are kind of the three core areas as companies are by and large taking a relatively new and fairly big step in bringing us fully into the data landscape of what exists throughout their company, oftentimes in a multinational setting. As far as when we plan to close our first agreement or when we plan to see these start closing. I'm going to leave that question alone for now. I don't want to, I don't want to create that specific of an expectation. But what I am comfortable saying at this point on the call is that we have these negotiations occurring at various different stages, and that includes groups that have worked with us for many years. That also includes one group that's been with us for many years and also has a SaaS model subscription and has been in negotiations, in this particular component across multinational jurisdictions for their company for quite some time. So we have a very good line of sight on where and how this is going and when we anticipate it closing. But of course, not everything's under our control. So I'll hold off on giving an exact more specific timeline. Charles Wallace: No, yes, that's very helpful. And then maybe one final question, maybe on the $30 million revolving credit facility. So when do you expect the initial draw from this facility and kind of over what timeframe and how will it be allocated between the ReefIQ commercial rollout and the biological programs -- biologics programs? Richard Areglado: So we have 60 days to get the credit agreement drawn up. So we won't be able to do anything until the credit agreement is completed. As far as the investments, we'll draw capital as we need it and as we need liquidity, but we still have cash runway in our bank account as well. Charles Wallace: Great. And maybe one final follow up to that question. Does this credit facility replace kind of the ring-fenced program level financing structure that you have in the Cayman asset in a style of financing? Richard Areglado: That does not. Jennifer Bath: Sure, we hear you. Correct, exactly. It absolutely does not replace that. So we still have interested parties that are investing in ring-fenced assets within the Cayman structure and are probably 90%, 95% of the way in terms of completing the legal and the tax planning efforts that go around setting up those structures. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Dania Ben-Hail with Jones. Please go ahead. Danya Ben-Hail: How should investors think about the revenue growth over the next 12 months and next 2 years? Richard Areglado: Yes, I mean, these initial ReefIQ agreements are probably going to be relatively lumpy. It's just the nature of the structure. They're going to be milestone based, there's engineering efforts at the at the outset, and then they become annual recurring revenue. So I do think revenue is going to be a little lumpy. It's hard to forecast. It really just depends on how quickly we get adoption of ReefIQ. Danya Ben-Hail: Okay, and so we expect it to be around these numbers during the next few quarters until things settle down and you get more subscriptions and annually and things like that? Richard Areglado: Yes, I think once we're in a position to announce an agreement, I think we'll take a deeper dive into what the revenue model looks like and what we expect recurring revenue to occur based on the timing of the contract. Danya Ben-Hail: Yes, OK, thank you. And just another question about the discussions with the pharmaceutical and biotech companies. What are they focused on? Are they getting more engaged with ReefIQ? Is it more the subscriptions right now for the Deep AI? What parts of it are more? Jennifer Bath: Yes, that's actually a great question, Danya. No, I really appreciate that. So one of the things we've talked about in the past is we definitely went about this from a different direction from others. You will see that there are companies that have a technology and some discovery capabilities that prepared those offerings for others as a partnership model. And really a little bit more on the premise of it's extremely low risk, so we'll backload it, but without really having the proof point or the evidence to support the quality of the work. And that low risk was given in exchange for not having not having that type of a relationship with those clients. We've really done the exact opposite. We've spent the last 5 years demonstrating our ability to send really good molecules to the clinic that are quite successful in the clinic, and then also demonstrated our ability to do that with an understanding of the function of a molecule and its mechanism of action, providing a greater probability of success in later stages of a clinic. And that's been a really different approach that we've made. So as we enter into these conversations, we've mentioned before, we're working with hundreds of different clients in building these therapeutic drugs. And one of the biggest changes we've had in the last 2 quarters is that every one of those programs coming in is an integrated lab in the loop with our in silico work intertwined very directly with our wet lab work, providing clients with data sooner, larger amounts of data for more data driven decision making. But there's two components of that really tie in, actually technically three, Danya, that I think specifically address your question. One of them is that all of that data is turned back within LensAI. Clients are directly exposed to the SaaS model subscription. They have the opportunity to use base layer applications within our LensAI. And that has brought more clients to the table with those inquiries around SaaS model subscriptions. So it expands their ability to work with the data within the platform in which it's being received. The conversations around the partnerships, which are back-loaded but always include some sort of upfront payment, the structure of those being ones that are milestone and royalty based, that is now a conversation happening with every single client. So that fee for service option that we have provided in the past where we use that opportunity to build a relationship with these clients to be one of their preferred vendors, which is no easy task, and to demonstrate the competencies that we have, I would say superiority that we have in our AI and wet lab drug discovery is what we're building on in those discussions. So every single one of those discussions is now a partnership discussion. There's no longer the opportunity to just walk in the door and put down money for fee for service. So it is a longer negotiation period for us. So even given the fact that we're still up in revenue with these double digits over last year where we were up significantly in revenue as well, while backloading approximately 80% of the discussions now in the pipeline as partnership discussions to us is bringing us additional confidence. These clients are not walking away from that discussion. They're not -- they're not turning away from it because we've become the trusted provider that we've shown we can execute. And so that's enabled this discussion with going back to your question. Actually, every single one of our clients. And then the third component of that is ReefIQ. And I would say the majority of the earlier adoption interest and communications we're having from that is from the larger pharmaceutical companies, which I guess makes sense. These are companies that are oftentimes juggling multiple jurisdictions, a lot more siloed data. And are also oftentimes being asked from the top down to find a solution to help their data make sense and to connect their data. And so, we're really seeing it across the board in all three areas. I would say the majority of those conversations, if we had to pick the one that was leading the way, would be partnership discussions, because again, that's not an option to have that discussion with us any longer. And then the second most would be ReefIQ, where people are looking for an advantage to find meaning in their data, an advantage to get away from hallucination and make their AI models better than their competition. And we're able to bring that to the table with something we've been building for 20 years and something that no one else is able to offer.

According to Bath, ReefIQ is designed to generate multi-year recurring revenue as customers expand their use of the platform within biological data systems and discovery workflows. The company’s existing client base includes 19 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, she said. → 3 Small-Cap Biotechs With Binary Catalysts on the Calendar During the question-and-answer session, Bath outlined several factors affecting the pace of enterprise negotiations. These include information technology security, data governance and data residency reviews; legal and procurement negotiations for multi-year platform agreements; and defining the programs and data domains included in an initial deployment. “None of them are really about whether or not the platform works,” Bath said of the review processes. She noted that enterprise customers are bringing MindWalk into their core data infrastructure, often across multiple jurisdictions. Chief Financial Officer Scott Areglado said initial ReefIQ arrangements could create uneven revenue patterns because they may include upfront engineering work and milestone-based payments before transitioning to annual recurring revenue. “These initial ReefIQ agreements are probably going to be relatively lumpy,” Areglado said. “It really just depends on how quickly we get adoption of ReefIQ.” MindWalk is also restructuring commercial relationships with pharmaceutical customers, increasingly pursuing broader platform partnerships rather than discrete fee-for-service projects. Under those arrangements, the company expects to participate in the economics of assets it helps create through upfront payments, milestones and royalty-based components. Bath said roughly 80% of the company’s current commercial funnel by value is structured as such partnerships, spanning data management, ReefIQ and multi-target discovery work. She said the change means every new client discussion now includes a partnership structure, rather than solely a fee-for-service option. Bath acknowledged that the approach can lengthen negotiations but said customers have continued engaging with the company. The company has spent years demonstrating its ability to advance biologic drug candidates, Bath said. MindWalk stated that its work has contributed to several dozen molecules reaching clinical testing, with 10 currently in Phase 1 through Phase 3 trials and four characterized as first-in-class molecules. Bath also said MindWalk has increasingly integrated its wet-lab capabilities with in silico work, generating data sooner for client decision-making and exposing customers to LensAI subscriptions and applications. Revenue rose approximately CAD 673,000 year over year to CAD 3.8 million. Gross profit was CAD 2.2 million, compared with CAD 1.5 million a year earlier. Research and development expense increased to CAD 1.3 million from CAD 1 million, primarily due to higher salary costs supporting commercial platform development. Sales and marketing expense rose to CAD 3.2 million from CAD 1.3 million, driven by increased commercial headcount, advertising and promotion investments. General and administrative expense increased to CAD 3.9 million from CAD 3.3 million, primarily due to non-cash stock-based compensation. Areglado said the first quarter represented MindWalk’s fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. He also noted that the prior-year period included CAD 1.1 million of income from discontinued operations, resulting in an overall net loss of CAD 3 million in that period. MindWalk ended the July 31 quarter with CAD 7.6 million in cash, down from CAD 11.3 million on April 30. Net cash used in operating activities was CAD 4 million, compared with CAD 4.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The company also announced a binding commitment for a US$30 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a fixed 7% interest rate. Bath said the facility can be drawn as needed and is intended to provide financial flexibility without issuing equity. Areglado said MindWalk has 60 days to finalize the credit agreement and cannot draw on the facility until the agreement is complete. He added that the company expects to access the capital as liquidity needs arise and that it retains cash on hand. Management said the revolving facility does not replace the company’s planned ring-fenced financing structure for certain assets in its Cayman structure. Bath said the company remains in discussions with interested parties and is approximately 90% to 95% through the associated legal and tax planning work. Separately, MindWalk said it validated a production deployment of OpenFold3 using AMD Instinct MI325X graphics processing units with engineering partner AMD and Vultr. Bath said the results were being published during the week of the call and that the deployment expands the company’s ability to run discovery workloads and scale ReefIQ. ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd., together with its subsidiaries, engages in antibody production and related services in the United States, Canada, Europe, and internationally. The company offers a range of antibodies, enzymes, enzyme activity assays, arthritis animal products, proteins, deiminated proteins, organoid growth factors, and hybridoma products for research purposes.

MindWalk Reports 21% Revenue Growth and Gross Margin Expansion to 59% in Fiscal First Quarter 2027

Business Wire
ReefIQ™ launched commercially, and a US$30 million unsecured credit facility commitment, drawn only as needed, adds balance-sheet flexibility with no dilution. AUSTIN, Texas, September 14, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MindWalk Holdings Corp. ("MindWalk") (NASDAQ: HYFT), a Bio-Native AI company, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2027 first quarter ended July 31, 2026. The quarter marked the commercial launch of ReefIQ™, MindWalk's data platform, and the start of its shift toward recurring, platform-based revenue. Revenue increased 21.3% year over year to $3.8 million. Gross profit increased 47.1% to $2.2 million; gross margin expanded to 58.6% from 48.3%. Net cash used in operating activities declined to $4.0 million from $4.2 million, even as MindWalk stepped up sales and marketing investment behind the ReefIQ™ launch and enterprise rollout. Net loss from continuing operations was $6.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.09 per share, reflecting planned investment in the commercial infrastructure for ReefIQ™ enterprise adoption. Business Highlights Commercially launched ReefIQ™, MindWalk's data platform, in June, and is in active negotiations with multiple large pharmaceutical companies on enterprise deployments. Roughly 80% of the commercial funnel by value now sits in partnership-structured engagements rather than discrete projects, spanning data management, ReefIQ, and multi-target discovery. Validated a production deployment on AMD Instinct GPUs with engineering partner AMD and Vultr, giving ReefIQ™ the compute capacity to onboard enterprise clients and run more programs at lower cost as recurring revenue scales. Subsequent to quarter-end, obtained a binding commitment for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to US$30 million at a fixed 7.00% rate, with no financial maintenance covenants, no warrants or conversion feature, and no pledge of assets, providing the balance sheet to scale ReefIQ™ enterprise onboarding without dilution. "We delivered a strong quarter, with revenue up 21% and gross margin expanding to 59%, while launching ReefIQ™ into a market moving toward exactly what we built," said Jennifer Bath, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of MindWalk.

"Our discovery business, which pairs wet-lab biologics with in silico capabilities for 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, is the foundation. On top of it, ReefIQ opens the door to enterprise partnerships of a scale well beyond our historical recurring agreements, and new partner engagements under discussion are increasingly structured as platform partnerships, where we share in the economics of the assets we help create. The larger loss this quarter reflects deliberate investment in ReefIQ's enterprise rollout." "The US$30 million facility we announced today gives us the flexibility to fund that rollout as needed, without issuing a single share," continued Dr. Bath. "No warrants or conversion feature, and no pledge of our assets. Our commercial model is shifting to recurring, compounding revenue with ReefIQ at its center, and this gives us the balance sheet to make that shift on our own terms." Fiscal First Quarter 2027 Financial Summary Quarter ended July 31 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per-share data) (1) The prior-year period includes $1.1 million of net income from discontinued operations. There were no discontinued operations in the current period. Non-IFRS Measures. This release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net loss before income taxes, amortization and depreciation, interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, and share-based payments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance. It has no standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release. Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results Revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was $3.8 million, up 21.3% from $3.2 million in the prior-year period. Gross profit rose 47.1% to $2.2 million, and gross margin expanded to 58.6% from 48.3%, as revenue grew on a cost of sales that held at $1.6 million. Operating expenses were $8.4 million, compared with $5.7 million. Sales and marketing expenses rose to $3.2 million from $1.3 million, reflecting planned investment in the commercial team and infrastructure to bring ReefIQ™ to market and to onboard and scale enterprise deployments as agreements are signed, including non-recurring costs incurred in the quarter. General and administrative expenses were $3.9 million, compared with $3.3 million, with the increase primarily non-cash stock-based compensation. Research and development expenses were $1.3 million, compared with $1.0 million, reflecting additional engineering capacity to support the commercial development of the platform. Operating loss was $6.1 million, compared with $4.2 million, as planned investment in the ReefIQ enterprise rollout and higher non-cash stock-based compensation more than offset a $0.7 million increase in gross profit. Net loss from continuing operations was $6.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.09 per share. Total net loss was $6.1 million, compared with $3.0 million in the prior-year period, which included $1.1 million of income from discontinued operations. Net cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million, compared with $4.2 million in the prior-year period, despite the increase in operating expenses, reflecting the non-cash nature of much of the G&A increase. Cash was $7.6 million at July 31, 2026, compared with $11.3 million at April 30, 2026, before the US$30 million facility commitment described below. Subsequent Event On September 14, 2026, MindWalk announced a binding commitment from Sanabil (Cayman) for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to US$30 million at a fixed 7.00% interest rate, drawn as needed. The facility carries no financial maintenance covenants, no warrants or conversion feature, and no pledge of MindWalk assets. Proceeds are intended to support MindWalk's shift to recurring, platform-based revenue: onboarding ReefIQ™ and LensAI™ enterprise clients as agreements are signed, and participating in the platform partnerships that increasingly define its commercial model, along with its biologics programs, working capital, and general corporate purposes. The term sheet is binding on both parties, and MindWalk and Sanabil (Cayman) will negotiate a definitive credit agreement with a target closing within 60 days. Conference Call and Webcast Details Event Date and Time: Monday, September 14, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time The conference call will be webcast live and available for replay via a link provided in the Events section of the Company’s Investor Relations pages at: https://ir.mindwalkai.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx Analyst registration URL: https://events.q4inc.com/analyst/231176031?pwd=m63SIFiS Webcast Attendee URL: https://events.q4inc.com/attendee/231176031 Anyone listening to the call is encouraged to read the Company’s periodic reports available on the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov, including the discussion of risk factors and historical results of operations and financial condition in those reports.

All financial figures discussed during this call are Canadian dollars. Financial statements and MD&A are available on the company's website at mindwalkai.com, as well as sec.gov and SEDAR+. A replay of this call will be available following its conclusion today. I will now turn the call over to Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer of MindWalk Holdings. Please go ahead, Dr. Bath.

Jennifer Bath

Thank you very much. Good afternoon. In this first quarter of fiscal year 2027, MindWalk advanced toward our goal of becoming the leading bio-native AI drug discovery and development company. In June, we launched ReefIQ, our proprietary data platform, and our focus is now on enterprise adoption. For those newer to the MindWalk story, ReefIQ is the substrate layer between complex, unstructured biological data and AI models. It turns that data into structured, biologically meaningful representations, so AI models deliver deeper, more actionable insights for our pharmaceutical partners. ReefIQ's commercial model is built around multi-year recurring revenue relationships that can scale as clients expand their use of the platform. Because ReefIQ is integrated directly into a client's biological data and the discovery workflows, these relationships are designed to deepen over time.

Jennifer Bath

As a trusted partner to many of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, we know how drug discovery works inside these organizations and what they need from a platform like ReefIQ. Those relationships give us a real advantage as we drive adoption. We have made good progress. We are engaged with multiple large pharmaceutical companies around potential enterprise deployments of ReefIQ. These discussions vary in maturity, and we are encouraged by how the platform is resonating with our clients. We are not yet in a position to announce specific partners or discuss contract values, but the level of engagement reinforces our conviction of the commercial opportunity. We look forward to providing additional updates as these discussions progress. These opportunities are substantially larger than our historical LensAI recurring revenue agreements.

Jennifer Bath

Investors should not use prior LensAI contracts as a benchmark for the size or the scope of ReefIQ enterprise relationships. We have built a leading wet lab discovery franchise. Our clients include 19 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, and every one of those relationships is a potential opening for ReefIQ. Two decades of biologics discovery work for our clients across multiple platforms and capabilities has already contributed to several dozen molecules reaching the clinic. 10 are in active phase I through phase III trials today, and four of those are first-in-class molecules. We are also reshaping how we structure our commercial relationships with our pharmaceutical partners. Increasingly, new engagements are being structured as broader platform partnerships where MindWalk participates in the economics of the assets we help create, rather than simply being paid for discrete projects.

Jennifer Bath

This structure aligns our incentives with our partners, has been well received by our clients, and is contributing to increased activity across our commercial funnel. Today, roughly 80% of our current funnel by value is now structured this way, spanning data management, ReefIQ, and multi-target discovery. We also reached a clear infrastructure milestone. With our engineering partner, AMD and Vultr, we validated a production deployment of OpenFold3 on AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs, and the first of those results are being published this week. OpenFold3 is open source, and any drug discovery team can use it, which is exactly the point. Models commoditize. The layer they run on compounds.

Jennifer Bath

Every model run on ReefIQ enriches the biological context for every other program, and LensAI, our reasoning layer, is deliberately model neutral, so a client can bring their own model, any open source one, or any third party, and still reason over that same context layer. The compute win simply gives us more room to run discovery and scale ReefIQ. This is a marquee week for that partnership, with much more to come. Our internal pipeline continues to advance through preclinical development, and we remain excited about the opportunity to drive value in this part of our business. Timelines there are hard to forecast, so we advance multiple programs in parallel and prioritize resources based on the strength of the data. This quarter, we added experienced leaders to accelerate our IND-enabling work and move our best programs toward IND filings in the clinic.

Jennifer Bath

We will update the market as they hit scientific, regulatory, and development milestones. Finally, our capital position. This morning, we announced a binding commitment for a $30 million in unsecured revolving credit facility at a fixed 7% rate, drawn as needed. It gives us financial flexibility without issuing equity, which matters given where our stock trades. Set against how AI-enabled discovery platforms are valued in public and private markets, we do not believe our market capitalization reflects what we have built or the scale of what we are pursuing. That informs how we think about financing the business and makes this facility particularly attractive to us. This is not a response to a step change in our cash needs. Our model is not capital intensive.

Jennifer Bath

The facility gives us the flexibility to invest behind ReefIQ, advance our internal pipeline, and pursue opportunities as they develop on terms that we believe are very favorable to MindWalk and its shareholders. Our focus is on execution, and we believe sustained delivery will be reflected in the stock over time. Turning to the quarter, revenue grew 21% year-over-year, and gross margin expanded to 59% from 48%. The larger loss this quarter reflects deliberate investment behind the commercial opportunity we see ahead of us. Sales and marketing expense increased by CAD 1.9 million. We are investing to build a larger and more durable revenue base, not simply support the business we have today. On the bottom line, this quarter is not directly comparable to the same quarter last year, which included income from discontinued operations.

Jennifer Bath

With that, I will turn it over to Scott to take you through the numbers.

Scott Areglado

Thank you, Jennifer, and good afternoon, everyone. I will take you through our first quarter fiscal year 2027 financial results. As a reminder, all figures are in Canadian dollars. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 was CAD 3.8 million, versus CAD 3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. This is an improvement of approximately CAD 673,000 or 21%. That represents five quarters of consecutive year-over-year revenue growth. Gross margin was CAD 2.2 million or 59% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, as compared to CAD 1.5 million or 48% for the same quarter last year. Looking at operating expenses. For the quarter ended July 31st, 2026, R&D was CAD 1.3 million, compared to CAD 1 million in the same period last year. This increase is due primarily to increased salary costs to support the commercial development of our platform.

Scott Areglado

Sales and marketing expenses were CAD 3.2 million for the first quarter of 2027, as compared to CAD 1.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, which included non-recurring costs incurred in the quarter. As I mentioned in our prior call, these are planned investments in our commercial infrastructure and represent increased headcount to support our commercial initiatives, as well as investments in advertising and promotion. G&A increased to CAD 3.9 million for the quarter ended July 31st, 2026, as compared to CAD 3.3 million for the same quarter last year. The increase is due primarily to non-cash stock-based compensation. Net loss and loss from continuing operations was CAD 6.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, as compared to net loss from continuing operations of CAD 4.1 million in the first quarter of 2026. Overall net loss in the prior year was CAD 3 million, which included CAD 1.1 million of income from discontinued operations.

Scott Areglado

Turning to the balance sheet. The company ended the quarter with cash balance of CAD 7.6 million as of July 31st, 2026. Net cash used in operating activities was CAD 4 million, compared to CAD 4.2 million in the prior year quarter, due in part to non-cash expenses related to share-based payments. Cash was CAD 11.3 million at April 30th. I am also pleased with our announcement earlier today of a binding commitment for a $30 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. This facility demonstrates confidence in our long-term strategy around our emerging pipeline and anticipated adoption of ReefIQ and provides the capital necessary to execute on that strategy. With that, I will turn the call back to Jennifer. Jennifer?

Jennifer Bath

Thank you, Scott. As we've mentioned, this morning, we announced the binding commitment for $30 million of unsecured capital without issuing a single share, and this gives us the runway to execute. The strategy is showing up in the business with revenue up 21% and growth margin at 59%. ReefIQ is a recurring revenue business, and it compounds as clients adopt and expand. We are in active negotiations with multiple large pharma companies on ReefIQ enterprise deployments, and you will hear from us as those conclude. As mentioned, do not measure them against our historical LensAI agreements. These are a different scale. On the discovery side, we are moving from discrete projects to platform partnerships where we share in the economics of the assets we help create. Both of these are happening with clients we already have, a distribution advantage that no new entrant can buy.

Jennifer Bath

On top of that, our internal pipeline adds upside with catalysts ahead. The higher loss this quarter is an investment behind a larger opportunity. The market is moving toward exactly what we built, and our job now is to lead it. Operator, we are ready for questions.

Operator

Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad now to raise your hand. To withdraw your question at any time, press star one again. Please pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Now, please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Charles Wallace with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Charles Wallace

Hi. Thanks for taking my question. This is Charles on for RK. For my first question, could you maybe help us understand what portion of the CAD 3.8 million in the first quarter revenue was contracted reoccurring platform revenue? Let us start there. Thank you.

Jennifer Bath

Scott, if you have those numbers before you, I do not know if we do have those broken out. I can say that if by platform recurring revenue, we are referring to ReefIQ. ReefIQ is not a data management program or platform that is currently in place. These are the ones that we have just discussed negotiating. That is like a whole new level of engagement from clients that you will definitely hear about as we proceed through that. This was the platform that we just released in June, quite recently. Now, if it is recurring revenue or annual recurring revenue off of the SaaS model subscriptions, we do have that, and we have announced that historically. I am not sure that we have that broken out since we do not break these out by cost centers, but I can have Scott confirm.

Charles Wallace

Okay. For my next question, so for the active negotiations that you mentioned with the multiple large pharma partners for the ReefIQ, which, as you mentioned, just launched in June, what are the current gating factors in these negotiations, and when do you expect to see these convert in fiscal year 2027?

Jennifer Bath

Fair question. The gating factors between each group actually differ significantly. In terms of, I am sorry, we are getting a lot of feedback on our side. In terms of negotiations with clients on our side for gating factors, what we are seeking are primarily people who are already engaged with MindWalk, who are running different programs already with MindWalk, and primarily starting off with people who are also engaged through the SaaS model subscription. We do look at, for large pharmaceutical companies, when they are moving into a vendor, bringing a vendor into their core infrastructure, none of them are really about whether or not the platform works. They kind of fall in three buckets for us. The first big one is really about IT security and data governance review, which is something you probably heard us talk a lot about over the last six months.

Jennifer Bath

ReefIQ is different in the sense that it sits inside of a client's biological data and its discovery workflows. It goes through the same enterprise security, data residency, and governance processes as really any system of record. The second one is legal and procurement. These are multi-year platform relationships, so instead of project statements of works that we've done historically with our large pharmaceutical clients, and then also when we're sharing in the economics of different assets during co-development and partnership relationships. The contract itself is a very new shape. It's very different than the historical contracts we've had, so it's different for their procurement terms as well.

Jennifer Bath

I would say, Charles, probably the third component of that is the scoping and just agreeing which programs and which data domains that the first deployment are going to cover so that it lands cleanly and then it's expanding from there. I would say those are kind of the three core areas as companies are by and large taking a relatively new and fairly big step in bringing us fully into the data landscape of what exists throughout their company, oftentimes in a multinational setting. As far as when we plan to close our first agreement or when we plan to see these start closing, I'm going to leave that question alone for now. I don't want to create that specific of an expectation.

Jennifer Bath

What I am comfortable saying at this point on the call is that we have these negotiations occurring at various different stages. That includes groups that have worked with us for many years. That also includes one group that's been with us as many years and also has a SaaS model subscription and has been in negotiations in this particular component across multinational jurisdictions for their company for quite some time. So, we have a very good line of sight on where and how this is going and when we anticipate it closing. But of course, not everything's under our control, so I'll hold off on giving an exact, more specific timeline.

Charles Wallace

No, yeah. That's very helpful. Maybe one final question, maybe on the $30 million revolving credit facility. When do you expect the initial draw from this facility, and kind of over what timeframe? How will it be allocated between the ReefIQ commercial rollout and the biologics programs? Thank you.

Scott Areglado

Yeah. We have 60 days to get the credit agreement drawn up, so we will not be able to do anything until the credit agreement is complete. As far as the investments, we will draw capital as we need it and as we need liquidity, but we still have cash runway in our bank account as well.

Charles Wallace

Great. Maybe one follow-up from that question. Does this credit facility replace kind of the ring-fenced program-level financing structure that you have in the Cayman asset, Cayman-style financing?

Scott Areglado

It does not.

Jennifer Bath

Sure, we hear you. Correct. Exactly. It absolutely does not replace that. So, we still have interested parties in investing in ring-fenced assets within the Cayman structure and are probably 90%, 95% of the way in terms of completing the legal and tax planning efforts that go around setting up those structures.

Charles Wallace

Thank you for taking all my questions.

Jennifer Bath

Thank you, Charles.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Danya Ben-Hail with Jones. Your line is unmuting. You are unmuted. Please go ahead.

Danya Ben-Hail

Hi.

Scott Areglado

Hi.

Danya Ben-Hail

Thank you for taking my question. How should investors think about their revenue growth over the next 12 months and next two years?

Scott Areglado

Yeah. These initial ReefIQ agreements are probably going to be relatively lumpy. It is just the nature of the structure. They are going to be milestone-based. There is engineering efforts at the outset, and then they become annual recurring revenue. I do think revenue is going to be a little lumpy. It is hard to forecast. It really just depends on how quickly we get adoption of ReefIQ.

Danya Ben-Hail

Okay. And so we expect it to be around these numbers over the next few quarters until things settle down and you get more subscriptions annually and things like that?

Scott Areglado

Yeah, once we are in a position to announce an agreement, I think we will take a deeper dive into what the revenue model looks like, and sort of when we expect recurring revenue to occur based on the timing of the contract.

Danya Ben-Hail

Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Just another question about the discussions with the pharmaceutical and biotech companies. What are they focused on? Are they getting more engaged with the ReefIQ? Is it more the subscriptions right now for the LensAI? What parts of it are more?

Jennifer Bath

Yeah, that's actually a great question, Danya. No, I really appreciate that. One of the things we've talked about in the past is we definitely went about this from a different direction from others. You will see that there are companies that have a technology and some discovery capabilities that prepare those offerings for others as a partnership model, and really a little bit more on the premise of it's extremely low risk, so we'll backload it, but without really having the proof point or the evidence to support the quality of the work. That low risk was given in exchange for not having that type of a relationship with those clients. We've really done the exact opposite.

Jennifer Bath

We've spent the last five years demonstrating our ability to send really good molecules to the clinic that are quite successful in the clinic, and then also demonstrated our ability to do that with an understanding of the function of a molecule and its mechanism of action, providing a greater probability of success in later stages of a clinic. That's been a really different approach that we've made. As we enter into these conversations, we've mentioned before, we're working with hundreds of different clients in building these therapeutic drugs. One of the biggest changes we've had in the last two quarters is that every one of those programs coming in is an integrated lab in the loop with our in-silico work intertwined very directly with our wet lab work, providing clients with data sooner, larger amounts of data for more data-driven decision-making.

Jennifer Bath

There's two components of that that really tie in. Actually, technically three, Danya, that I think specifically address your question. One of them is that all of that data is turned back within LensAI. So, clients are directly exposed to the SaaS model subscription. They have the opportunity to use base layer applications within our LensAI, and that has brought more clients to the table with those inquiries around SaaS model subscriptions. So, it expands their ability to work with the data within the platform in which it's being received. The conversations around the partnerships, which are back-loaded, but always include some sort of upfront payment, the structure of those being ones that are milestone and royalty-based. That is now a conversation happening with every single client.

Jennifer Bath

That fee-for-service option that we have provided in the past, where we use that opportunity to build a relationship with these clients to be one of their preferred vendors, which is no easy task, and to demonstrate the competencies that we have, I would say superiority that we have in our AI and wet lab drug discovery, is what we're building on in those discussions. So, every single one of those discussions is now a partnership discussion. There's no longer the opportunity to just walk in the door and put down money for fee for service. So, it is a longer negotiation period for us.

Jennifer Bath

Even given the fact that we're still up in revenue with these double digits over last year, where we were up significantly in revenue as well while back-loading approximately 80% of the discussions now in the pipeline as partnership discussions to us is bringing us additional confidence. These clients are not walking away from that discussion. They're not turning away from it because we've become the trusted provider that we've shown we can execute. That's enabled this discussion with, going back to your question, actually every single one of our clients. Then the third component of that is ReefIQ, and I would say the majority of the earlier adoption interest and communications we're having from that is from the larger pharmaceutical companies, which I guess makes sense.

Jennifer Bath

These are companies that are oftentimes juggling multiple jurisdictions, a lot more siloed data, and are also oftentimes being asked from the top down to find a solution to help their data make sense and to connect their data. We're really seeing it across the board in all three areas. I would say the majority of those conversations, if we had to pick the one that was leading the way, would be partnership discussions, because again, that's not an option to not have that discussion with us any longer. Then the second most would be ReefIQ, where people are looking for an advantage to find meaning in their data, an advantage to get away from hallucination and make their AI models better than their competition.

Jennifer Bath

We're able to bring that to the table with something we've been building for 20 years and something that no one else is able to offer.

Danya Ben-Hail

Okay. Thank you very much.

Jennifer Bath

Thank you.

Operator

There are no further questions at this time, and this will conclude today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.

The transition from ImmunoPrecise Antibodies to MindWalk Holdings Corp. resulted in a doubling of AI-related citations and expanded analyst coverage. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management clarified that while the first two SaaS agreements were not yet material to the total $15.6 million revenue, they represent a critical proof-of-concept. The company is now using these initial successes as a template to target dozens of other clients for deeper data management engagements. Management expects the SaaS model to generate high margins, though exact figures are pending a better understanding of long-term compute costs. The shift toward platform revenue and higher-margin service work already contributed to a gross margin expansion to 59% in fiscal 2026. ReefIQ is designed to be 'model agnostic,' allowing it to snap onto any existing AI model to provide biological context and prevent hallucinations. MindWalk has ceased offering piecemeal fee-for-service work to introduce the platform, now requiring either a partnership model or a SaaS license. The company is actively seeking non-dilutive funding for its internal assets (Dengue, Influenza, GLP-1) through ring-fenced investment structures. Management will prioritize reporting only 'material' milestones, such as in vivo readouts or IND applications, to maintain professionality and protect IP.

The focus is now on targeting similar profiles for ReefIQ data management engagement. - Scott Areglado, CFO Q: How do you plan to package the new IP and ReefIQ together for new customers? A: ReefIQ can be packaged and is accessible to everyone, regardless of the AI model they use. It provides context and meaning, solving problems that others couldn't. We are no longer offering piecemeal fee-for-service work; instead, clients can take a SaaS license or engage in a partnership model. ReefIQ elevates other AI models and can be used securely without jeopardizing data security. - Jennifer Bath, CEO Q: Which of the three assets (dengue virus, influenza, GLP-1) do you think could advance enough over the next year to attract further development or funding? A: It's difficult to predict which asset will advance the furthest as we continue to build context around these molecules. Some assets have prospective partners lined up, and others are in various stages of validation. We are focused on these assets daily and are working on securing non-dilutive funding to support their development. - Jennifer Bath, CEO Q: What should we expect for the operating expenses trajectory over the next few quarters? A: Operating expenses are expected to increase due to investments in pipeline assets, continued R&D in ReefIQ, and commercial investments. We aim to run efficiently and allocate capital wisely to generate returns. - Scott Areglado, CFO Q: Can you provide any updates on clinical data or publications for the pipeline programs? A: We do not have clinical data updates as we currently do not have pipeline products. We are focused on establishing cross-reactive immunity for the dengue platform and are working with third-party partners for further analysis. Material updates will be released as they occur, but we aim to avoid non-material updates to preserve energy and professionalism. - Jennifer Bath, CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

MindWalk Holdings Corp. Reports Fiscal 2026 Results: Revenue Up 46% as the Company Completes Its Pivot to Bio-Native AI Infrastructure

Business Wire
Full-year revenue rose 46% to $15.6 million with gross margin expanding to 59%; net loss narrowed by more than half as MindWalk sharpened its focus on the BioIntelligence infrastructure powering AI drug discovery. AUSTIN, Texas, July 22, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MindWalk Holdings Corp. ("MindWalk") (NASDAQ: HYFT), a Bio-Native AI company, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. Fiscal 2026 was the year MindWalk completed its transition from building its technology to deploying it. Revenue grew 46% year over year, gross margin expanded, the net loss narrowed by more than half, and the Company divested a non-core business to concentrate on the BioIntelligence infrastructure that life sciences AI and agentic AI require. "We are not an AI company that discovered biology. We are a biology company that built AI on top of more than 40 years of biology heritage, and fiscal 2026 is the year the market began to see it in our results," said Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer of MindWalk. "Revenue grew 46%, margins expanded, and we simplified the business around the layer where enterprise AI value accrues. HYFT Technology powers ReefIQ, the biological context layer for life sciences, and LensAI is in contracted, recurring arrangements with life sciences customers today. Value compounds in that layer, not in any individual model that runs on top of it." Fiscal 2026 financial highlights Year ended April 30 (in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per-share data). Preliminary and subject to filing of the Annual Report on Form 20-F. Operating-expense decrease primarily reflects the non-recurrence of approximately $22.7 million of prior-year non-cash amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill. Fiscal 2026 and recent business highlights Completed transformation into MindWalk Holdings Corp. from ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. in September 2025, aligning the corporate identity with the Company's Bio-Native AI strategy.

Divested its Netherlands subsidiary, ImmunoPrecise Antibodies (Europe) B.V., to AVS Bio (a portfolio company of Arlington Capital Partners) in a transaction announced in August 2025, generating proceeds on disposal of approximately $14.3 million reflected in investing activities and supported by a 12-month transition services agreement, sharpening focus on the core BioIntelligence infrastructure and strengthening the balance sheet. Authorized a share repurchase program of up to 2.3 million common shares (approximately 5% of shares then outstanding) for the 12 months commencing October 15, 2025; the program is discretionary. Nasdaq compliance regained organically. Restored Nasdaq listing compliance without a reverse split or dilutive financing. First recurring platform revenue. Signed the Company's first two contracted, recurring enterprise LensAI™ agreements during the year (one in the second half, one in Q4) - the first recurring platform revenue in the Company's history. Clinical track record. The discovery platform has contributed to 20+ molecules reaching the clinic, backed by 400+ peer-reviewed publications and issued patents (credibility framing - these are client-owned assets). Subsequent events Commercial launch of ReefIQ™ in June 2026 expands MindWalk’s BioIntelligence platform, the biological context layer for life sciences, powered by HYFT® Technology, enriching biological data at ingestion and exposing governed, queryable context to LensAI and customer-selected models and agents. Filed a European patent application in June 2026 covering a high-dimensional biological data structure underpinning HYFT® Technology Russell index inclusion. Added to the Russell 3000E and Russell Microcap Indexes, effective after the U.S. market close on June 26, 2026 (subsequent event) - broadening institutional visibility. The MindWalk platform MindWalk built a biological representation over 20 years of curation, 660 million biological patterns connected by 25 billion relationships, that turns raw biological data into a form any AI model or autonomous agent can reason over reliably. HYFT® Technology powers ReefIQ™, the biological context layer for life sciences: pharma uploads their data, MindWalk enriches it at ingestion, the biological representation refines it continuously, and LensAI™, together with customer-selected models and agents, reasons over that enriched context within the customer's own workflow, governance, and human review. The competitive asset is not the models MindWalk runs; it is the layer those models run on. Every program a customer runs enriches every prior program, and failed programs become queryable intellectual property. The data layer is the durable asset. The model layer becomes disposable. Financial results Fourth quarter 2026 Financial Results Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $4.1 million, compared with $2.7 million in the year-ago period. Cost of sales was $1.6 million and gross profit of $2.5 million, resulting in a gross margin of 60.6% compared with 58.0% in the prior-year period. Operating expenses were $6.8 million, compared with $4.7 million in the year-ago period. Research and development expense increased from $0.8 million to $1.6 million in 2026, which was primarily due to increased headcount to support our development initiatives. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $0.9 million in 2025 to $1.5 million in 2026, reflecting our continued investment in our commercial operations. General and administrative expense was $3.0 million in 2025 as compared to $3.7 million in 2026. Net loss from continuing operations was $3.9 million, compared with $3.4 million. Net loss for the year was $3.9 million, compared with $2.2 million Full year 2026 Financial Results Revenue for fiscal year 2026 was $15.6 million, compared with $10.6 million in fiscal 2025. Gross profit was $9.1 million in 2026 or 59%, compared with $5.7 million or 54% a year earlier. Operating expenses were $24.1 million, compared with $42.6 million in fiscal 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by the non-recurrence of approximately $22.7 million of prior-year non-cash amortization and impairment charges Research and development expense increased by $0.7 million from $4.2 million in 2025 to $4.9 million in 2026. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.3 million from $3.6 million in 2025 to 5.9 million in 2026. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million from $12.1 million in 2025 to $13.2 million in 2026 Net loss from continuing operations was $15.1 million, compared with $33.1 million. Net loss for the year was $13.9 million, compared with $30.2 million. Loss per share from continuing operations was $0.33, compared with $0.99. Total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including restricted cash, were $11.5 million as of April 30, 2026.

I will now turn the call over to Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer of MindWalk Holdings. Please go ahead, Dr. Bath.

Jennifer Bath

Thank you, good afternoon, everyone. Fiscal 2026 was a defining year for MindWalk, the year our discovery engine and the bio-native AI built on top of it came together as a single platform. That engine has a long record of producing molecules into the clinic. The AI layer makes that biology computable at scale. It was also the year the market's thinking caught up to the thesis that we have held onto from the start, that the durable value in AI for biology is not the model, but the data and the context layer beneath it. A layer that, in our case, rests on 20 years of curated biology no competitor can stand up overnight. Independent research now describes that layer in language that we could not have written better ourselves. This was the year we began to convert that recognition into results.

Jennifer Bath

We grew revenue by 46%, expanded gross margin to 59%, narrowed our net loss by more than half. Growth and discipline in the same year, not one at the expense of the other. We signed our first two contracted recurring platform agreements, the first recurring platform revenue in the company's history, we launched ReefIQ, which organizes a client's own discovery data into governed biological context. We strengthened the balance sheet through the divestiture of a non-core business, we regained NASDAQ compliance organically, without a reverse split, without dilution, earning inclusion in the Russell 3000E and the Russell Microcap Indexes. The science underwrites all of it. Our discovery work for clients has now put more than 20 molecules into the clinic, that figure reflects only the clients that we are free to name.

Jennifer Bath

Counting the programs that remain confidential, the true number is much more meaningfully higher. Among the clients we can name are Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Vaccines, Sanofi Pasteur, argenx, IDEXX Laboratories, and Cencora. This year, one of those clinical molecules that our work supported became a commercial medicine, approved by the FDA and launched. Those are headlines. Taken together, they mark a very different company than the one that stood here one year ago. They change how the next several years should be underwritten. We've built the record, the market has arrived at the thesis. We've signed the first recurring platform revenue. What's early is scale. That is the opportunity that is in front of us now. For the past several years, the AI drug discovery sector has been consumed by a single question. "Whose model will win?" That is the wrong question.

Jennifer Bath

This year, the market has largely moved past it. In its place, a more durable conclusion has taken hold, articulated in strikingly consistent terms across independent research and industry commentary. It maps precisely onto the asset MindWalk has built. It comes down to three points. Adoption, not model capability, is the constraint. Proprietary data is the moat. Validation is the catalyst. The orchestration layer between AI and biology, the layer the market is now calling the moat, is not something we pivoted into. It's the asset MindWalk has been building for years. HYFT provides the biological representation. ReefIQ organizes a client's own data inside of that representation, preserving provenance and program history across their entire estate.

Jennifer Bath

LensAI is where the reasoning happens, target discovery, candidate diligence, portfolio decision support, and agentic AI workflows that close the loop between in silico prediction and wet lab validation. The long-term advantage is not the model. Models are replicable. It's HYFT. It's 20 years of curated, function-annotated biology, encoding the sequence and the structure and the functional relationships that let any model reason over biology with context, the context that it otherwise lacks. That foundation took two decades to build. It cannot be stood up overnight. For each client, the value compounds in their own governed environment. Every program they run inside of ReefIQ makes their context richer and their work faster, with their data remaining theirs. This is where the thesis begins translating into commercial execution.

Jennifer Bath

There's a validation ladder in this business. The rungs behind us and ahead of us are worth us being really clear about here. The first rung is the application layer adoption. Clients engaging LensAI to solve a defined workflow problem on a contracted recurring basis. In the H2 of fiscal year 2026, we signed our first enterprise layer SaaS agreement, and then a second contract in the fourth quarter. Together, they mark the first recurring platform revenue in this company's history. That's the entry point. A client trusts the platform with a discrete application. They see the result. It builds conviction from there. The next rung matters more. It's clients engaging ReefIQ to organize and manage their data across their broader estate. Well-organized, context-rich data is where their competitive edge comes from.

Jennifer Bath

At the JonesTrading AI Day fireside chat last month, when asked, I accordingly told institutional investors that this is the validation to watch for from MindWalk. The commercial engine we're building runs alongside that ladder from application layer adoption toward the deeper data management relationships above it. The most rigorous validation of a discovery capability is the medicines that reach the patients because of it. Behind that record of dozens of molecules that we have assisted with in producing for the clinic, 10 are in active phase I through phase III trials. Four are first in class, and that work is backed by more than 400 peer-reviewed publications and issued patents. These are client-owned assets. The value of each molecule accrues to the company whose name is on it. What accrues to MindWalk is a foundation.

Jennifer Bath

A track record of molecules reaching the clinic is what earns a discovery company the standing to build on it. Deeper partnerships, co-development, milestones, and royalty participation, and the recurring revenue that comes from being embedded in how a program advances. The clinical record is the proof. The partnerships and the recurring revenue built on top of it are where that value starts to compound. In June 2026, one of those programs reached patients. A therapeutic our client developed for a rare, debilitating autoimmune disease was approved by the FDA and launched commercially. MindWalk's role wasn't the molecule itself. It was specialized. The anti-idiotypic reagents our client used to build and to validate the bioanalytical assays that their molecule had to clear on its way through clinical development, including in response to a direct request from the agency.

Jennifer Bath

That's a contribution that we're proud of because it points to something that I believe the market overlooks. Getting a molecule to patients takes far more than designing something that binds. It takes the specialized tools that measure a drug, that validate the assays that are behind it, and stand up to the regulatory rigor that an approval demands. Most of the field is so focused on that first step, on discovering a molecule. We support molecules across the path to approval, and that breadth is far harder to replicate than a single binder. It's also how a discovery relationship becomes a deeper one, the kind of collaboration that compounds into partnership and recurring work. The track record is more than credibility. It's two decades of learning what it takes to move a molecule from discovery all the way through approval.

Jennifer Bath

Built into LensAI and being applied to our own programs for the first time. Our Dengue program has produced strong preclinical results. A conserved pan-serotype target identified computationally and then validated in vivo across two independent campaigns. The science speaks to exactly what the platform was built to do. GLP-1 shows the same engine pointed at a different problem. We designed the receptor agonist sequence in silico, and then we tested it in vitro, where they activated GLP-1 receptor comparable or superior to semaglutide, one of the most competitive targets in medicine. It's early, and of course, we will update you as it matures, but early results on a target that hard are worth paying attention to. Influenza extends the pattern. Across more than 2,000 strains of influenza, HYFT found a functional invariant that holds where the sequence itself keeps changing.

Jennifer Bath

That kind of target convention alignment with conventional alignment, it simply cannot see. Behind those are more. Our pandemic response platform deployed this year against Ebola and Hantavirus and a broader set of infectious disease and autoimmune programs that we'll bring forward as they earn it. On July 1st, 2026, we filed a patent application extending our foundational HYFT patent, protecting our architecture behind how biological context is organized and made computable in our system. The context layer is where the long-term value in biological AI accrues, and this patent is built to protect that. Fiscal year 2026 also marked an important milestone in restoring institutional credibility. We regained NASDAQ compliance organically without a reverse split or other dilutive measures, reflecting genuine improvement in market support and investor confidence.

Jennifer Bath

Effective after U.S. market close on June 26th of 2026, MindWalk was added to the Russell 3000E Index and the Russell Microcap Index. Russell inclusion expands institutional visibility, increases eligibility for index ownership, and represents another important milestone in MindWalk's continued evolution as a publicly traded company. We completed the transition from ImmunoPrecise Antibodies to MindWalk Holdings Corp in September of 2025, creating one unified commercial platform that simplifies how the company goes to market and supports more efficient growth. Nine months in, the metrics are consistent and directional. AI citations of our content have more than doubled above the legacy brand. The number of referring domains to our digital presence are up materially. Organic keyword coverage has expanded. Sustained daily dollar volume is a multiple of the pre-branded median. Analyst coverage has expanded.

Jennifer Bath

These metrics all reflect a company being found by the audience that it is now serving. In October, Scott Areglado joined as Chief Financial Officer, bringing the finance and capital markets discipline that you'll hear from him shortly. On the commercial side, we deepened our enterprise business development team this year, and we've added two more senior professionals in both Boston and San Francisco to drive platform adoption in the two largest U.S. biopharma markets. In the first part of the fiscal year, we completed the sale of our Netherlands wet lab operations to AVS Bio, strengthening the balance sheet. Scott will cover the financial impact of that. More importantly, it sharpened our focus on a genuine structural advantage. At MindWalk, computation and wet lab operate as one integrated system, not two functions handing work back and forth.

Jennifer Bath

That integration is why our programs compound data in biological context at a rate that conventional discovery cannot match. Starting today, we are in San Francisco at AMD Advancing AI 2026, AMD's flagship event, a company AMD chose to build with. That choice is the signal. AMD is one of the largest companies in the world, and it does not put its engineering weight behind marketing relationships. It co-designs with a small number of companies whose work is demanding enough to push its hardware, and it selected MindWalk. This is an engineering partnership. AMD's teams work alongside ours to optimize the infrastructure our AI platform runs on. Migrating our libraries off of a CUDA lock stack onto AMD's open ROCm stack was a joint build. Production infrastructure that runs every single day at MindWalk. AMD's published case study puts the results in hard numbers.

Jennifer Bath

On Instinct MI300X hardware, we screened roughly 170,000 antibody pairs in about four and a half hours, work that had taken 145 days previously. Cost per million samples in literature mining fell about 39%, and embedding throughput rose about 70%. Speaking alongside us at JonesTrading AI Day Fireside in June, AMD described being highly selective about who it co-designs with and pointed to MindWalk as having the capabilities the market is looking for on the record in front of institutional investors. There is more from all of this and our interactions at this conference that we expect to share shortly. Let me turn this call over now to Scott to review our financial results, and then I'll make some closing comments before Q&A. Scott?

Scott Areglado

Thank you, Jennifer, and good afternoon, everyone. I will take you through the fiscal 2026 financial results and the drivers behind them. As a reminder, all figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified and are preliminary pending the filing of our annual report on Form 20-F. The financial story of fiscal 2026 is straightforward: revenue growth, margin expansion, disciplined operating investment in the commercial engine, and a stronger balance sheet. Revenue grew meaningfully year-over-year from CAD 10.6 million to CAD 15.6 million or a 46% increase in fiscal year 2026. Revenue for Q4 2026 was CAD 4.1 million, or a 50% increase as compared to CAD 2.7 million for Q4 2025. The quality dimension of that revenue is as important as the volume. This was the year we booked the first contracted recurring platform revenue in MindWalk's history through the two enterprise LensAI agreements Jennifer described.

Scott Areglado

Those are software layer engagements carrying different economics than project-based services. They open a revenue model we intend to scale. Gross margin expanded from CAD 5.7 million or 54% of revenue to CAD 9.1 million or 59% of revenue. Gross margin for Q4 2026 was CAD 2.5 million or 61% compared to CAD 1.6 million or 58%. This reflects a shift in revenue mix toward platform and higher margin service work together with structural efficiencies following the divestiture. Now, on to operating expenses. Total operating expenses were CAD 24.1 million as compared to CAD 42.6 million in the prior year. However, the prior year included CAD 21.2 million of intangible asset amortization and CAD 1.5 million of impairment that did not recur. On a comparable basis, operating expenses increased by approximately CAD 4.2 million, which reflects deliberate investments in the commercial infrastructure.

Scott Areglado

Research and development expense for fiscal year 2026 was CAD 4.9 million, up slightly from CAD 4.2 million, demonstrating continuing investment in our commercial infrastructure. Research and development expense for Q4 2026 was CAD 1.6 million as compared to CAD 0.8 million in Q4 2025. Sales and marketing expense were CAD 5.9 million in fiscal year 2026, up from CAD 3.6 million for the same period in 2025, reflecting increased staffing and expanded North American business development capacity. Sales and marketing expenses for Q4 2026 were CAD 1.5 million versus CAD 0.9 million in Q4 2025.

Scott Areglado

We expect operating expenses to increase as we continue to invest in our pipeline assets and ReefIQ. Net loss from continuing operations was CAD 15.1 million in 2026 versus CAD 33.1 million in the prior year. Net loss for the fiscal year 2026 was approximately CAD 14 million as compared to CAD 30.2 million in the prior year.

Scott Areglado

Loss per share from continuing operations was CAD 0.33 per share versus CAD 0.99 in the prior year. For the quarter ended Q4 2026, net loss from continuing operations was CAD 3.9 million versus CAD 3.4 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2026 was CAD 3.9 million as compared to CAD 2.2 million in the prior year. Turning to the balance sheet.

Scott Areglado

We ended the year with a cash balance of CAD 11.5 million as of April 30th, 2026 as compared to CAD 10.8 million as of April 30th, 2025. In summary, the company generated non-dilutive capital by divesting our European operations for net proceeds of $10.3 million without sacrificing revenue growth. We continue to invest in the infrastructure that matters, integrating ReefIQ into our lab operations and advancing our engineering work with AMD, the foundation beneath both our own pipeline and our clients' data management.

Scott Areglado

With that, I will turn the call back to Jennifer. Jennifer?

Jennifer Bath

Thank you, Scott. As we enter fiscal year 2027, our strategy coalesces around three pillars, the same three we've communicated in our filings and the same three by which we would ask you to measure us. Pillar 1, build intelligence-driven recurring revenue. In fiscal year 2026, we integrated LensAI into every new client program, and clients began paying to add LensAI applications to their work. The first application layer revenue at scale. That adoption is deepening. Double-digit clients are now in the LensAI portal, accessing their data directly, with dozens more of programs actively moving into that usage. This is our lab in a loop. Outputs from our laboratory work that flow back through the portal where ReefIQ enriches each client's context with every run, and it's the feeder into what comes next, broader data management adoption and recurring SaaS licensing.

Jennifer Bath

That deepening is the leading indicator of the recurring revenue engine that we're building. The market is telling us engagement by engagement that this is the layer it needs. Pillar 2, advance and protect the internal asset portfolio. We are building a proprietary biologics and vaccine pipeline, dengue, influenza, GLP-1, and our pandemic response platform work, and additional programs across infectious disease and autoimmunity that we will disclose as they mature. These are not service arrangements. They are assets we own built into our own platform. Our wet lab is one of the most productive antibody discovery engines in the industry. It has put dozens of molecules into the clinic for our clients, and it is doing that work right now. That is the discovery capability behind this pipeline. What's new is the second level we've added to it. Our AI.

Jennifer Bath

It encodes the relationships between the sequence and the structure and the function. Our models reason with biological context that others don't. Surfacing targets and designing molecules that conventional approaches never surface because they can't see that connection. Neither capability is borrowed and neither is new to us. Now they run as one engine. The AI points to the lab at the right experiments, and the lab's results deepen the AI and every program compounds richer in context than either could reach alone. Pillar 3, deepen enterprise partnerships. AMD is the proof. Joint engineering that made our platform faster, made our platform more scalable, running in production every single day, not a logo on a slide. We're building the same kind of relationship with pharmaceutical and biotech companies right now.

Jennifer Bath

In those relationships, embedded in the artificial intelligence and embedded on the capabilities running with MindWalk and AMD in combination. When those are far enough along to show results, that's when we'll announce them, and with that evidence, not just the name. The AI drug discovery sector is being repriced right now away from the model toward the context layer beneath it. That is the layer we have spent two decades building, and it is the layer that we lead. This is no longer our view alone. Independent research has arrived at it. Our clients are arriving at it, one expanded engagement, one platform agreement, one medicine reaching patients at a time. Fiscal year 2026 was the year that the market caught up to what we built.

Jennifer Bath

Fiscal year 2027 is the year that we press the advantage while we are in front, while the field is still catching up, and while the assets we own are compounding on a foundation that no one else has. This week, we are on that stage at AMD Advancing AI in front of the entire industry. It's a fitting place to be, because the company we're describing today is the one the market is now looking for. We thank our shareholders, our clients, and our team for their confidence. Operator, please open the line for questions.

Operator

Thank you. Everyone, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Once again, that is star one if you have a question. Our first question comes from Swayampakula Ramakanth from H.C. Wainwright.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Thank you. Good afternoon, Jennifer, Scott.

Scott Areglado

Hi, RK, how are you?

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Good. Congratulations on all the developments. Obviously, having the second or two recurring revenue licenses is pretty good. I just have few questions, if I may. To start off, of the CAD 15.5 million that you recorded as revenue for fiscal year 2026, what % of that revenue comes from the recurring revenue of the first license you have in the books now?

Scott Areglado

RK, our revenue is almost primarily still fee for service work.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Yeah.

Scott Areglado

We signed this agreement early in the middle of this fiscal year. It was a modest amount, and obviously, I don't disclose individual revenue amounts, but it wasn't significant to our overall revenue for fiscal year 2026.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Okay, perfect.

Jennifer Bath

I wouldn't mind adding just a little something to that, RK.

Scott Areglado

Sure.

Jennifer Bath

Yeah, I would say, is it material to the CAD 15.5? No, I wouldn't say it's material. I also wouldn't say it's nothing. It's actually pretty decent, and we're just rev rec-ing it every month as we go, right? We provided an invoice, they paid that invoice, and now we're rev rec-ing in equal distributions over the course of the timeframe that they have agreed upon in that agreement. I would like to follow up on that with probably the most important part here is we provided that SaaS model contract to a company who saw the value of the applications that were provided in that contract. They have been using that contract actively-

Jennifer Bath

Against that invoice and that payment. 100%, the most important part was they worked with us, they saw the value. We were doing fee for service work first. They turned around and said, "We want to actually take a SaaS model license to these applications and take a deeper dive in this," and they did. Of course, going back to everything that I'm pointing to today, that is our primary focus now is, yeah, great, you're seeing it, you're using it. We're rev rec-ing that. We're watching them use the applications. Maybe most important part here to focus on is, of course, now, we're targeting that exact profile for ReefIQ for data management engagement. Back to that thesis, that's really the next step I had asked people to watch for.

Jennifer Bath

That's exactly what we're doing with the dozens of clients who are also utilizing our SaaS model, really the portal with the LensAI applications as we turn data back as well. That's also our focus for the other client with the newer agreement. Just want to make sure I put that in some full context there.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

No, thanks for that explanation. Yes, now I understand that since it becomes part of already the programs that the clients had signed up for, it's really difficult to tease out specifically the CAD amount. Probably, I'm assuming that's what you're telling me, and that's understandable. Maybe another way to look at this is, as you continue to increase utilization of the platform in any or all of these programs, I'm trying to think about at least margin. Can we talk to the margins and say how as you continue to increase the utilization, how the margins could expand from here, not only at the gross margin level, but also at the operational level.

Scott Areglado

Look, one of the reasons people like the SaaS model subscription is because they do generate high margins. I don't have an exact number because we still need to understand what the compute cost that goes with that would be as they start to engage more with it, which would end up in the costs. I would still expect it to be a high-margin business. I think once we get a couple more clients and I have a sense of where that'll fall, I could be able to talk a little bit more about it. I would expect it to be very healthy margins.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Okay. Good. Two things happened over the last six weeks or eight weeks now. Not only launching of the ReefIQ, but also the IP that was filed, the application was filed. As you go forward, how do you plan to pack this together? Is there a way to invite new customers such that they use that as a separate package, or would that always be included within your services that you already offer to any of your current customers?

Jennifer Bath

I love that question, RK, because we didn't talk a lot about that on the call. I think it is important for us to make sure that it's extremely clear that yes, of course, it is something that can be packaged. It's something that I think is more tempting to people who have used our applications, who have used our fee for service, who see what a difference that having the connectivity and the context and the meaning have made to the programs. I think in large part, if we wanted to point to a few specific but anonymous examples, they have seen that most definitely when we've been able to solve problems that other people couldn't, and that's what drew them deeper into using our platforms, into taking a SaaS model license or into contracting us to do that type of LensAI work with them.

Jennifer Bath

Just as a quick note, that type of fee for service work has actually come to an end. We are now asking people to contract us either in a partnership model or they can take a SaaS license to do some of that work on their own. We're no longer offering piecemeal fee for service for people to get introduced to the platform because the platform in and of itself is more mature than it was when we began offering that. Can people come to the table and use these platforms without going through the channels of like right now where we've distributed SaaS model subscriptions or we've distributed data back to dozens of clients within LensAI so they can see the applications or trial the applications? That's just one direction and that's a really unique way because we have these loyal clients.

Jennifer Bath

We have clients just day in and day out where we're turning data back. I think the most important part here that we need to emphasize is the fact that utilizing ReefIQ to provide context and to provide meaning isn't limited, not only to our clients. It's not limited in almost every other way that you would look at software or applications, or access to technology in potentially being limited. ReefIQ is something that everyone can access no matter what AI model they're using, right? That's what we really see out there. We see a lot of people in the drug discovery business, people in just areas of research and development, developing AI models in order to try to do things faster, be more accurate, save money, whatever it might be. What we're finding is they're all running into that same difficulty.

Jennifer Bath

That same difficulty being that all of a sudden, they've been training their model, they're training their model. When their model sees something it's never seen before, it hasn't trained on it before, it doesn't have the answers. Unfortunately, that's where these models start to hallucinate. It's not like using ChatGPT where you just get back an answer that might be a bit ridiculous. You're probably going to flag it and you're going to see it, but it was hallucinating its answer to it, and it might cost you 15 minutes to get it back on track. Or maybe something you don't recognize is wrong and it costs you an afternoon or a couple of days. When hallucination happens at this level in drug discovery, it can cost hundreds of millions of CAD. It can waste years.

Jennifer Bath

If people have never experienced it's a new target, it's a new indication, it's a first in class molecule. They don't know the mechanism of action. When the data is being analyzed then the information coming back isn't accurate, it can completely destroy and kill a program. That's where ReefIQ definitively comes into play. Anyone can use it, no matter what their AI model is. They can literally snap on. It can be used most definitively with agentic AI. It can be queried directly with generative AI programs, and it's compatible with any other platform that anyone has built, it doesn't have competition in the space to do this.

Jennifer Bath

It elevates everyone else's AI models, and it is perfectly fine for someone to come to us and say, "ReefIQ is the orchestration layer that we need." To purchase access to ReefIQ, then to feel confident that this can be utilized in a secure environment without jeopardizing or threatening the security of their data or the systems that their programs are running within. Absolutely. That's a very important message that we will continue to talk about this year so people can understand the breadth in which this ReefIQ technology can be utilized.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Okay. One last question from me before I step back and interrupt you.

Jennifer Bath

Okay.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

In addition to this, you also have three assets that you're working on, the Dengue, the influenza, and the GLP-1. Of these three, over the next year, which ones do you think could advance enough that either you can attract somebody to help you out in developing further, or you would be able to attract enough funding such that you can take this forward itself?

Jennifer Bath

That is an interesting question. I think there's a number of points, and I'll try to be succinct here in my answers to them. The first one being, the honest answer is, I don't know which one will move the furthest. What's really interesting is we continue to find and build new context around these particular molecules and the diseases that they cause. There's an aspect around that of, when do we move something forward a little bit more and, when do we take it and take a look at maybe formulation or presentation of that molecule? We're looking at some of the minute details as we go through. We kind of on the surface make it sound relatively simplistic, right? We're immunizing these animals. We're collecting the sera. We're doing this, we're doing that. We're looking for neutralization, et cetera.

Jennifer Bath

Reality is we're also taking a fine-tuned look at what arms of the immune system are we actually amplifying and are we stimulating, and to what extent would we predict MHC class I or class II responses, and in what geographies? What people are likely to give us these responses? To what extent do we understand the type of response that we need as we move through looking at a desired mechanism of action, a desired type of response that's going to provide lasting immunity or lasting therapy, depending on the product that we're making. Not to get too wordy about that, but it's a little deeper than what we've already provided, and the assets right now as they're moving along, we are quite happy with the way they're moving.

Jennifer Bath

There's another caveat here, which is like what we've shared is not the full extent of course, what we're working on. That makes it even more difficult to choose one of those three assets, because certainly some are ahead of others, some are just in validation or in repetition, because we'll never take a single data point or study and lean into that to move it forward. Others have different aspects of how far we plan to move them. Some of them have prospective partners already lined up and waiting, which means we aren't going to move them all the way through if they continue to be successful.

Jennifer Bath

When we look at some of the other assets that we're moving along that we haven't at all talked about in the public domain, who's to know if some of those might even leapfrog and move faster? What I can say, RK, with certainty is we are focused on these every day. We've built a team, and we're continuing to add on to that team in subject matter experts, whether it is in the engineering, whether it is biologics experts in immunology and design. We're continuing to build that team to make sure that as our assets grow, we can continue to keep this a priority. As I mentioned, it's one of our major three pillars of focus this year.

Jennifer Bath

We are also focused on getting that non-dilutive funding in the door for those assets, making sure that we have a ring-fenced structure that makes piping that money directly in as easy as possible for investors. That's a lot of work we have been doing over the last quarter, in particular, in making sure that that's designed in a way that is optimized for MindWalk and for those assets to move forward. All of that is kind of front and center in what we're doing, and things are moving along likely and quite well. I think over this fiscal year, we don't know which is going to move the fastest, but we are probably just as excited as you and some of our investors are in seeing how far these go and which ones are moving most quickly to these milestones.

Swayampakula Ramakanth

Perfect. No, thank you. Thanks for taking all my questions.

Jennifer Bath

Sure, of course. Thank you, RK.

Operator

The next question is from Danya Ben-Hail from JonesTrading.

Danya Ben-Hail

Hi. Congrats on the progress, thank you for taking our questions.

Scott Areglado

Hi, Danya.

Danya Ben-Hail

First one is, what should we expect for the operating expenses trajectory over the next two quarters?

Scott Areglado

I think our operating expenses, as I indicated in my prepared remarks, I expect them to increase. The work that we're doing on the pipeline assets, the continued R&D in ReefIQ, are all commercial investments we think are worthy. I don't have a specific comment on the % that it's going to increase. I would expect them to increase. We're trying to run as tight a ship as we can, and we're going to make commercial investments where we think they're going to generate a return, and obviously try and be mindful of capital allocation and expenses.

Danya Ben-Hail

Yes. Thank you for that. For the pipeline, what should we expect? Can you give any color or guidance on the clinical data updates, publications, any updates on IND-enabling studies on any of the programs?

Jennifer Bath

We do not have any updates to prepare or to provide here that we haven't already provided, with the exception that we don't have any clinical data for pipeline programs that we have built because we don't currently have pipeline products. There's no update to be had there. I think we've provided our most recent update on Dengue, kind of reinforced it here. We're getting the cross-reactivity from that platform that we desire. That is one that we continue to take a close look at the exact details of what that immune response looks like. We're quite happy in being able to establish that cross-reactive immunity. The next step in that, where we expect to finish, we don't have an exact date. We do have a third-party partner that's doing some further analysis on that, but it'll definitely be over the next couple of quarters.

Jennifer Bath

I don't think we'll be doing any publications on these molecules just for the sake of the fact that any publications that we would do on an internal product at this point in time would jeopardize our IP protection of those molecules, none of these molecules are all the way through IP production, any data that does come out wouldn't have been something that would be included anyway. What I can say is it's not impossible for other pipeline products, depending on the partner, that some of those could be in peer-review publications. Again, just depending on the partner and the level of disclosure that might have already occurred around those particular molecules historically. What I will say is, as these molecules are moving forward, when there are material updates, we will release them.

Jennifer Bath

One thing that we're considering quite important is we get a lot of, not from our analysts, but we do get a lot of requests to just release as much information as possible or release updates as often as possible. Oftentimes, I don't think there's something that, Danya, you or myself would consider to be material updates. That's something that giving the updates in between the material updates is something we want to back away from because they're not meaningful, right, for people like ourselves who understand, like you and I, who understand what really adds value to a molecule as it's moving forward.

Jennifer Bath

The touch-by-touch and play-by-play, little things that move in very small increments but don't represent true milestones with regard to the end game of the product are an area that we're going to watch closely and to back down from just to preserve energy and professionality when it comes to announcing these. Every material milestone that we hit, and we will still consider things like strong in vitro readouts and in vivo readouts, anything that's moving us toward IND application as a material update, we will keep everyone posted on those.

Danya Ben-Hail

Okay. Thank you very much. Looking forward.

Jennifer Bath

Thank you.

Danya Ben-Hail

Thank you.

Operator

Everyone, at this time, there are no further questions. That does conclude our question and answer session. It also concludes our conference for today. We would like to thank you all for your participation, and you may now disconnect.
