Jaguar Health Inc (JAGX) (Q2 2026) Earnings Call Highlights: Rare Disease Breakthroughs and ...
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: August 19, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) has successfully completed a transformative US Commercial out-license agreement with FuturePak, securing $18 million in non-dilutive upfront capital and positioning the company for additional milestone payments. The company's lead rare disease program for intestinal failure, particularly in MVID, has shown groundbreaking clinical results, with reductions in parenteral support requirements of up to 48% in MVID patients and 40% in SBS-IS patients, far exceeding the clinically relevant threshold of 10-15%. Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) is strategically focused on a rare disease program with a global market opportunity estimated at approximately $8 billion for short bowel syndrome and over $1 billion for MVID, with no approved treatments or competing clinical development for MVID. The company has a strong IP position with approximately 185 issued patents and a de facto exclusivity shield due to its FDA-approved botanical drug status, providing perpetual protection against generics and enhancing terminal value for potential partners. Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) is advancing its pivotal MVID clinical trial, which is fully enrolled, and plans to file for breakthrough therapy designation in Q4 2026, potentially leading to FDA approval by the end of 2027, with a clear regulatory pathway for Europe in 2028. The company is expanding its animal health franchise with the upcoming launch of Neonorm Dog, leveraging existing relationships and distribution channels like Amazon and Chewy to generate additional revenue streams. Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) reported a significant decrease in prescription product net revenue, down 60% year-over-year in Q2 2026, due to the FuturePak licensing agreement, which directs US revenues to FuturePak. The company's net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $2.3 million in Q2 2026, reaching $12.7 million, driven by higher interest expenses, fair value adjustments, and debt extinguishment losses. Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) faces a high cash burn rate, with non-GAAP recurring EBITDA losses of $8.4 million in Q2 2026, and the company's ability to fund operations depends on securing additional non-d…Read full documentShow less

Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) faces a high cash burn rate, with non-GAAP recurring EBITDA losses of $8.4 million in Q2 2026, and the company's ability to fund operations depends on securing additional non-dilutive partnerships or financing. The company's reliance on a single-digit number of patients for its MVID NDA filing, while justified by the ultra-rare disease prevalence, may pose regulatory and commercial risks, including potential challenges in demonstrating broad efficacy and safety. Jaguar Health Inc (NASDAQ:JAGX) has a complex financial structure with liability-classified warrants and notes payable designated as fair value options, leading to volatility in reported earnings and potential dilution for shareholders. The company's strategic shift away from direct commercialization of Mytesi has reduced its control over US sales and revenue, creating dependence on FuturePak's performance and limiting direct market feedback.

Q: What are the key clinical results for the company's lead rare disease program, and what is the timeline for regulatory submission?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) highlighted groundbreaking results presented at the ESPGHAN meeting in June 2026 for the oral liquid formulation of crofelemer in intestinal failure patients. In one MVID patient, weekly parenteral support requirements normalized to body weight were reduced by up to 48%, and in two SBS-IF patients, by up to 40%, following over 12 months of therapy. This far exceeds the 10-15% reduction considered clinically relevant. The company expects to complete the clinical package by the end of 2026, file an NDA for MVID in Q2 2027, and potentially achieve US approval by the end of 2027 if granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation. Q: Can you provide an update on the pivotal MVID clinical trial and the expanded access program?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) stated that the pivotal randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for MVID is fully enrolled at sites in the US, Italy, and the UAE. The FDA authorized a treatment-only extension phase, and every single patient from the blinded portion qualified to continue. Additionally, an infant with MVID treated under an FDA-authorized expanded access program is now a year old, thriving, and has reduced parenteral support from 22 hours to 18 hours per day. The company estimates it is treating approximately 4% of the MVID patient population. Q: What is the company's business development strategy for the intestinal failure program?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) emphasized that the company is actively seeking a development and commercialization partner for its rare disease program. She cited recent third-party transactions, including Eli Lilly's licensing of a GLP-2 antagonist for short bowel syndrome for up to $1.26 billion and Jazz Pharmaceuticals' agreement to acquire Actio Biosciences for up to $1.32 billion, as validation of the market opportunity. The global market for short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure is estimated to reach approximately $8 billion by 2033, and the MVID market is estimated at over $1 billion. Q: How does the company view its competitive position for crofelemer in intestinal failure?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) noted that there is nothing in development for MVID, making crofelemer the only candidate. For SBS, the approved GLP-2 growth hormone approach is not standard of care, has many side effects, and is only used in about 5-7% of patients. GLP-2s cannot be used on a lifelong chronic basis, whereas crofelemer could, and could even be used in conjunction with GLP-2s. Crofelemer is a locally acting anti-secretory agent that reduces fluid and electrolyte losses, offering a paradigm-shifting opportunity. Q: What is the status of the FuturePak out-licensing deal and its financial impact?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) and Carol Lizak (CFO) detailed that the company received $16 million upfront in January 2026 upon closing the US Commercial out-license agreement with FuturePak for Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1. The company subsequently satisfied post-closing conditions and received an additional non-dilutive $2 million holdback. Jaguar remains the manufacturer of crofelemer at a profit and is eligible for up to another $17 million in milestone payments. This deal allows the company to focus 100% of its human development efforts on the rare disease program. Q: What were the key financial results for the second quarter of 2026?A: Carol Lizak (CFO) reported that prescription product net revenue was approximately $1.2 million in Q2 2026, a 60% decrease compared to $2.9 million in Q2 2025, primarily due to the FuturePak agreement. However, the loss from operations decreased by about $400,000 to $7.6 million, driven by a $2.1 million reduction in operating expenses. Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased to $12.7 million from $10.4 million in the prior year, due to increased interest expense and fair value adjustments on warrants and notes payable. Q: Can you elaborate on the company's intellectual property strategy for crofelemer?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) explained that crofelemer's status as the first and only oral prescription drug approved by the FDA under botanical guidance functions as a de facto and perpetual IP exclusivity shield. There is no practical pathway to bring a generic to market, providing exclusivity "to infinity and beyond." This is a powerful asset when doing terminal value calculations with potential commercial partners, as there is no patent cliff. Q: What is the company's plan for the animal health business?A: Lisa Conte (CEO) announced the anticipated commercial launch of a new product called Neonorm Dog, a non-prescription, plant-based product intended to support normal stool consistency and GI fluid balance in dogs. The product will be available through online and animal health retail channels, including Amazon and Chewy, leveraging relationships built during the promotion of Canalevia-CA1. This is a small business segment, as the company's primary focus is on human rare disease programs.

(NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today reported its consolidated second-quarter 2026 financial results. 2026 SECOND QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS: License and Grant Revenue: Effective January 12, 2026, Jaguar entered a U.S. commercial licensing agreement with Woodward Specialty, LLC ("Woodward"), an affiliate of privately held Future Pak, LLC ("Future Pak"). Under the terms of the agreement, Future Pak is now the exclusive U.S. marketer for the Company's Mytesi® and Canalevia®-CA1 products.

Approximately $43,000 of license fees were consistently recognized in each of the quarters of 2025 under this agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounts to $468,000. Federal grant revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2026 for the clinical study related to the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea ("CID") in dogs was $25,520 and none in 2025. Prescription Product Revenue, Net: The total net revenue for the Company's prescription products (Mytesi, Gelclair, and Canalevia-CA1) was approximately $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, which was compromised primally of sales of Mytesi at cost-plus to Future Pak. In January 2026, Jaguar entered into a royalty-free license agreement with Future Pak. Under this agreement, all revenues generated in the United States from Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1, effective from January 12, 2026, are directed to Future Pak. Future Pak is privately held and does not report Mytesi sales. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the number of Mytesi bottles the Company sold in the second quarter of 2026 increased significantly and commercial costs were substantially decreased. The decision to enter a commercial license agreement with Future Pak aligns with Jaguar's strategic focus on advancing the development of its powder-for-oral-solution formulation of crofelemer for rare-disease indications related to intestinal failure in humans. The total net revenue for the Company's prescription products in the second quarter of 2026 represents a decrease of approximately 2% compared to the first quarter of 2026, when total net revenue for prescription products was approximately $1.2 million. Additionally, prescription products net revenue decreased by 60% compared to the second quarter of 2025, when total revenues amounted to approximately $2.9 million. Neonorm™: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products were consistent and minimal for the second quarters of 2026 and 2025. Cost of Product Revenue: The total cost of product revenue increased by $0.5 million, from $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to about $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The increase in cost was due to sales of inventory to Future Pak in the second quarter of 2026 under the licensing and supply agreement. Research and Development: The R&D expense increased by approximately $0.1 million, from $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to progress of the development of crofelemer into a powder formulation, a process called lyophilization. This formulation is the new product formulation utilized in the rare disease intestinal failure clinical trials and anticipated for regulatory approval and commercialization. Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense decreased by approximately $2.5 million, from $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to approximately $5,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due to the dissolution of the Jaguar/Napo Sales and Marketing Group as of January 12, 2026 following the licensing of Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 to Future Pak. General and Administrative: The G&A expense decreased by approximately $0.3 million, from $4.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to $4.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, largely due to an overall decrease in legal and compliance fees, public company expenses, stock-based compensation and travel expenses. Loss from Operations: The loss from operations decreased $0.4 million, going from a loss of $8.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, to a loss of $7.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This change was primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in product net revenue, which was offset by a reduction in operating expenses of approximately $2.1 million, attributed to the Future Pak licensing agreement. Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $2.3 million, from a loss of $10.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to a loss of $12.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. In addition to the loss from operations: Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 were a net loss of approximately $8.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar's performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Presentation at ESPGHAN 2026 Describes Additional Groundbreaking Results of Evaluation of Jaguar Health's Crofelemer as Adjunctive Oral Therapy for the Treatment of Pediatric Intestinal Failure (IF)
Company remains sharply focused on its ongoing global development program for crofelemer for rare IF diseases Near-term milestones for IF program buttressed by continuing groundbreaking results of study, which demonstrate reduction of parenteral support normalized to body weight of up to 48% in patient with the ultrarare pediatric microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAGX) ("Jaguar") family company Napo Pharmaceuticals (Napo) today provided a recap of presentations of the oral liquid crofelemer as adjunctive therapy in pediatric intestinal failure (IF) patients at the 58th Annual European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Meeting in Lille, France. Napo provided additional data from ongoing investigational studies with oral liquid crofelemer in pediatric patients with IF due to microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and short bowel syndrome (SBS). Since IF patients cannot orally absorb adequate nutrients, electrolytes and fluids, they require lifelong total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with or without supplemental intravenous fluids, which together comprise parenteral support (PS), for up to seven days per week and up to 20+ hours per day. While PS is supportive, palliative and lifesaving, it is associated with serious complications. As presented at ESPGHAN 2026, the results of ongoing investigations of liquid oral crofelemer demonstrate substantial reductions of PS and PS normalized to body weight in pediatric IF patients dosed orally for more than one year, with no significant clinical or laboratory abnormalities. In one MVID patient, the weekly PS requirements normalized to body weight have been reduced by up to 48% following >12 months of liquid oral high-dose crofelemer therapy. In two pediatric SBS-IF patients, weekly PS requirements normalized to body weight were reduced up to 40% following >12 months of liquid oral high dose crofelemer therapy. "Liquid oral crofelemer as adjunctive therapy to PS has been well tolerated with no significant clinical or laboratory abnormalities throughout the ongoing treatment period of >12 months in these pediatric IF patients with MVID or SBS.

"We remain sharply focused on and committed to our global development program for our novel liquid oral crofelemer formulation as adjunctive treatment for the management of rare IF conditions such as MVID and SBS," said Lisa Conte, Jaguar's founder, president, and CEO. "Our IF program is expected to continue to provide clinical milestones and is the subject of business development discussions with the potential to bring in non-dilutive funds from potential licensee partners. If appropriate, Jaguar plans to apply for Breakthrough Therapy Designation for crofelemer for the indication of MVID, with a planned filing of an NDA (New Drug Application) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this indication in mid-2027." One e-poster was presented on June 27, 2026 at ESPGHAN titled Exploratory Single-Arm, Open-Label Non-Randomized Trial Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Crofelemer in Pediatric Patients with Intestinal Failure, and the associated abstract can be viewed by clicking here. Another report of the evaluation of novel liquid oral crofelemer adjunctive therapy, for the treatment of IF in an infant through an ongoing expanded access program in the U.S., was presented for e-poster viewing at ESPGHAN 2026. The study demonstrated that total daily parenteral nutrition volume and caloric delivery remained stable throughout crofelemer therapy despite ongoing growth, while stool output was simultaneously reduced.

Red Light Holland Reports Positive Preclinical Study Results for Coca in Weight Gain Prevention Post GLP-1 from Magdalena Biosciences, the Joint Venture Held Through Its Wholly Owned Subsidiary, Filament Health
Whole leaf coca extract under evaluation is Magdalena's drug candidate for post GLP-1 weight loss management Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTCQB: TRUFF) ("Red Light Holland", "Red Light", or the "Company") is an Ontario based organization advancing innovation and research within the legal psychedelic sector. Following its acquisition of Filament Health Corp. ("Filament"), the Company has expanded its pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, regulatory, and clinical research capabilities, supporting the advancement of naturally derived drug development. Through the Filament acquisition, the Company also holds Filament's interest in Magdalena Biosciences, Inc. ("Magdalena"), a US based joint venture formed by Filament and Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAGX) ("Jaguar"). The Company is pleased to report that Magdalena has announced positive results of a preclinical study demonstrating that a novel extract derived from the leaves of the coca plant prevented weight gain in mice placed on a high fat diet, without reducing food intake or increasing physical activity. The coca leaf extract under evaluation is Magdalena's prescription drug candidate for post-GLP-1 weight loss management, intended for development under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Botanical Guidance. It is common for people to regain weight after stopping GLP-1 medications, as these drugs help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness while they are being taken. When treatment is discontinued, those effects diminish, and the body's mechanisms that regulate hunger and body weight may promote weight gain. Magdalena's thesis is that the coca leaf extract under evaluation may have the potential to serve as a weight maintenance therapy following cessation of GLP-1 therapy, addressing a significant unmet need for safe, long term weight management solutions. The 20 day preclinical study was conducted in Alberta, Canada, in collaboration with the Borgland Lab at the University of Calgary, where Stephanie Borgland, PhD, served as Principal Investigator. The coca leaf used in the research and development program was provided to Magdalena by Empresa Nacional de La Coca (ENACO), a Peruvian state company dedicated to the commercialization of the coca leaf and its derivatives, under an Internationally Recognized Certificate of Compli…Read full documentShow less

Magdalena Biosciences, a Joint Venture Between Jaguar Health and Filament Health, Announces Positive Results of Preclinical Study of Coca for Weight Gain Prevention
Whole leaf coca extract under evaluation is Magdalena's drug candidate for post-GLP-1 weight loss management SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar") today announced that the results of a preclinical study initiated by Magdalena Biosciences ("Magdalena"), a US-based joint venture formed by Jaguar and Canada-based Filament Health Corp.

FY2026 Q1 earnings call transcript
Before I turn the call over to management, I'd like to remind you that management may make forward-looking statements relating to such matters as continued growth prospects for the company, uncertainties regarding market acceptance of products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, industry trends, and product initiatives, including products in the development stage which may not achieve scientific objectives or meet stringent regulatory requirements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on currently available information and management's current assumptions, expectations, and projections about future events. While management believes that the assumptions, expectations, and projections are reasonable in view of currently available information, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The company's actual results may differ materially from those discussed during the webcast for a variety of reasons, including those described in the Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors sections of the company's Form 10-K for the year 2025, which was filed with the SEC on April 7th, 2026, and its other filings with the SEC, which are available on the Investor Relations section of Jaguar's website. Except as required by law, Jaguar undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation to reflect new information, future events, or otherwise. Additionally, please note that the company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which company management assesses and operates the business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for or superior to measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Lisa Conte, Jaguar Health's Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer. Lisa, the floor is yours.
Hello. Thanks very much. Hello, and thank you for joining our Investor webcast this morning. I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. My name is Lisa Conte. I'm the Founder, President, and CEO of Jaguar Health and our wholly owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, and I am the Chairman of our Italian subsidiary, Napo Therapeutics. As usual, I may use the words Jaguar and Napo interchangeably to refer to our company. After our speak, our CFO, Carol Lizak, will provide a recap of the financial highlights for the first quarter of 2026. The theme of today's webcast is transformation and sharp strategic focus.
I'm going to preempt Carol, as we're pleased to report that the company's net revenue increased 816% in the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025 and increased 527% in the first quarter of 2026 versus the fourth quarter of 2025.
Buoyed by the transformative event of the U.S. out-license agreement we executed this past January 2026, with Future Pak for Mytesi, our FDA-approved tablet formulation of crofelemer for adults living with HIV, AIDS, and experiencing diarrhea. Included in the license was Canalevia-CA1, our conditionally approved formulation of crofelemer for dogs. We made the strategic decision to out-license Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 to Future Pak, first, because they had recently acquired Theratechnologies, an HIV-focused commercial company with more than four times the commercial effort of Jaguar in the United States. Secondly, to fulfill our strategic plan to bring in meaningful non-dilutive dollars to fund our sharp development focus on our pivotal stage program for our novel proprietary powder for oral solution formulation of crofelemer. A different formulation than the Mytesi tablets. Powder for oral solution formulation of crofelemer for rare intestinal failure indications.
Our strategy then continues with the goal of identifying a development and commercialization partner for this program as well. The near-term value driver in our intestinal failure development program is our lead target indication, pediatric microvillus inclusion disease, MVID, an ultra-rare disorder with no approved therapies. We've embarked on an ongoing clinical path toward a potential NDA new drug application submission in mid-2027. NDA new drug application submission to the FDA. Short bowel syndrome, which I'll refer to as SBS with Intestinal failure, SBS-IF, represents a larger follow-on indication using the same dosage form, different from Mytesi tabs again, the same powder for liquid dosage form and physiological mechanism as IF with MVID patients. Intestinal failure program represents a blockbuster global market opportunity in terms of addressing this catastrophic unmet medical need in patients with a lethal natural history.
Blockbuster in terms of the beneficial impact to morbidity, mortality, and the cost to the healthcare systems, and blockbuster in terms of the financial return opportunity for all stakeholders, and especially important to a potential corporate partner. As an example, the global market for Short Bowel Syndrome, including Short Bowel Syndrome with Intestinal failure, is estimated to reach approximately $8 billion by 2033, according to a third-party market research study, and a third-party estimate of the value of the global MVID marketplace puts it over $1 billion. I'd like to take a moment to describe the catastrophic impact intestinal failure to patients and their caregiving community, their healthcare providers, doctors, nurses, nutritionists, family members, and others involved in that caretaking.
Intestinal failure is a debilitating condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition, TPN, with supplemental intravenous fluids, which altogether constitute parenteral support, PS, parenteral support. Many intestinal failure patients require parenteral support up to seven days a week and sometimes for 20 hours a day or more. Obviously, catastrophic and no quality of life. While crucial for survival for intestinal failure patients, parenteral support is associated with significant toxicities to patients, often causing serious health problems, including liver and kidney function problems, metabolic complications, infections, cognitive impairment, and in children, significant growth impairment. These symptoms often become life-threatening. The cost of PS, parenteral support, is estimated at about $500,000 per year in the United States, and the cost to the healthcare system with the inevitable complications can top $1 million per year per patient.
The key benefit to IF patients on parenteral support and the key endpoint in clinical development is the possibility to reduce PS by even 10%-15%. The value, for example, would allow the patient to receive most of their PS at night while sleeping while preserving some quality of life during waking hours. As a further example, a child might then be able to attend school without the need to be attached to IV for parenteral support. In November 2025, last year, groundbreaking initial results of the ongoing and independent proof-of-concept study of crofelemer in pediatric patients in the UAE, United Arab Emirates, intestinal failure due to MVID and SBS-IF were presented at NASPGHAN. That's the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition. That's a mouthful, NASPGHAN, the Annual Meeting, and it was presented by the study's primary investigator.
The initial results demonstrate disease progression modification with crofelemer through reduction of parenteral support in intestinal failure patients that ranged from 12%-37%. Specifically, in the two pediatric IF patients who completed treatment, the results showed crofelemer reduced parenteral support between 12.5% and 15.6%. For the MVID patient, again, where there's no alternative treatment, parenteral support needs were reduced by up to 37%. It's worth saying again, 37%, a remarkable result. Multiple patients intestinal failure due to either MVID or SBS who are taking part in the trial in the U.A.E. have now been treated for more than one year, and longer-term data will be presented at the annual meeting of ESPGHAN, another mouthful, the European, not North American, European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, next month in June 2026.
An additional MVID infant patient is being treated with oral crofelemer under an FDA-authorized expanded access program, and safety and efficacy data regarding crofelemer treatment in this infant will also be presented at the ESPGHAN conference. This is a fascinating situation where the patient, the young infant, diagnosed with MVID right after birth, was too young to enroll in our clinical trial, which I'm going to talk about in a moment. With the expanded access to crofelemer, the child is now nine months old and thriving in the 27% growth curve in what is otherwise a catastrophic diagnosis with a lethal natural history. Crofelemer has been well-tolerated and the pediatric MVID patients are gaining weight and height and demonstrating reductions in their daily and weekly needs for parenteral support.
There have been no crofelemer-related safety issues in intestinal failure patients, which is consistent with the safety profile of crofelemer as demonstrated in thousands of patients in clinical trials for other disorders and years of commercial availability of the drug as the FDA approved for HIV-related diarrhea. We expect the pediatric intestinal failure patients participating in these ongoing programs to be provided with crofelemer from the company for the rest of their lives. We take great pride in that. We are simultaneously conducting a pivotal randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the liquid formulation of crofelemer in pediatric patients with intestinal failure due to MVID. This trial is fully enrolled.
In pursuit of an NDA filing, a new drug application filing, with the FDA based on patients in this trial, Napo submitted an amendment and received FDA support for a treatment-only extension phase for this study. The first MVID patient has entered the treatment-only extension phase of this trial, which is taking place at clinical sites in the U.S., Italy, and the U.A.E. We expect the rest of the enrolled patients to enter the treatment-only phase over the next two months as each participating institution provides their approval to supplement the acknowledgment from the FDA. Including the patients in the blinded trial and MVID patients in the expanded access and the investigator-initiated trials, the ones that will be presented at ESPGHAN next month, we estimate we're treating approximately 4% of the patient population, of the global patient population, of this ultra-rare disease, MVID.
We are confident and, as you can probably imagine hearing here, passionate to bring the benefit of crofelemer to approval for the benefit of all MVID patients in as expeditious a manner as possible. Drugs get approved based on a benefit-risk ratio. Clinical trials have demonstrated no risk, excellent tolerance with crofelemer, and the benefits in PS reduction, particularly compared to weight in a growing pediatric population, speak for themselves. We feel this is a powerful result, providing breakthrough adjunctive therapy to reducing PS support needs and the concomitant toxicities that come with that life-saving PS. Because of the ultra-rare nature of MVID, again, a disorder for which there are no approved treatments, and with the continuation of the benefit we are seeing, we hope to achieve breakthrough therapy designation from the FDA for crofelemer to accelerate even further the U.S. regulatory pathway to market.
We're also focused on potential EMA, European Medicines Agency, that's the equivalent of the FDA in Europe, pathways to accelerate the regulatory approval to market in all 27 EU countries as well. Breakthrough designation in the U.S. would give an approval timeline of four months. As I mentioned, our crofelemer intestinal failure programs are also enhanced by clinical proof-of-concept data in pediatric patients with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome, SBS. Our oral liquid formulation of crofelemer is a non-growth hormone drug candidate for use as adjunctive therapy to parenteral support through its unique first-in-class physiological mechanism of action of reducing liquid stool output, thus reducing parenteral support needs. Crofelemer is a locally acting intestinal chloride ion channel modulator that reduces intestinal chloride-driven fluid accumulation. Think osmosis.
Intestinal fluid, chloride-driven fluid accumulation in the GI tract, resulting in reduction of electrolyte and fluid losses and concordant parenteral support reductions, a clinically relevant endpoint. In both MVID and SBS/SBS-IF, the value proposition is a reduction in parenteral support requirements in patients with no available therapies other than lifelong, life-sustaining parenteral support, which is associated with high comorbidities, often resulting in death. We have a phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the liquid formulation of crofelemer, the same formulation as MVID, ongoing in adult SBS-IF patients at various sites in Germany and Italy. SBS-IF affects a significantly larger patient population than MVID, although still an orphan indication, and it arises from congenital anomalies or surgical resection due to conditions like Crohn's disease, mesenteric ischemia, cancer, and trauma. Adult and pediatric SBS-IF patients face chronic dependence on parenteral support due to insufficient absorptive surface area in their intestines.
The U.S. SBS-IF patient population is estimated at 12,500 patients. We are targeting the new drug application filing of crofelemer for MVID in mid-2027, coincident with the expected timing of the availability of results of our phase II blinded study for adults with SBS-IF. As the same IF formulation, this plan provides a CMC stepping stone to our planned pathway for ultimate approval for Short Bowel Syndrome. Our entire IF program is the subject of business development discussions, specifically. We are interested in a partner to assist in the funding for final development and commercialization of crofelemer for MVID and SBS/IF outside the U.S. We established our ability to perform and close important non-dilutive business development deals, as we did in January this year with Future Pak.
With $16 million non-dilutive received upfront in January when the deal closed, $2 million due shortly to Jaguar upon completion of post closing conditions. We've additionally received further non-dilutive funding from the deal terms of $3 million and ongoing meaningful dollars from inventory purchase, which is purchased at a profit to Jaguar. Intestinal failure market is considered to be approximately 100 times larger than the HIV diarrhea market. Put that in perspective when you think about the size of the deals we're targeting for business development for IF.
With the clinical proof of concept data we have in hand and near-term clinical and regulatory milestones ongoing, we are confident in our ability to execute upon our business development goals and strategy in our intestinal failure program to further the opportunity to bring in meaningful non-dilutive dollars commensurate with the market size driven by a very serious unmet medical need. I'm now going to hand over the discussion to Carol for her recap of the financial highlights for the first quarter of 2026. Thank you, Carol.
Good morning, Lisa, and thank you to all of you who have joined our webcast today. I'll begin my review of our financials for the first quarter of 2026. Fueled by the license of U.S. commercial rights for Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 in January 2026, the total net revenue for the company's prescription products, Mytesi, Gelclair, and Canalevia-CA1, non-prescription products, and license revenue was approximately $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of approximately 816% over the total net revenue in the first quarter of 2025, which totaled approximately $2.2 million and an increase of approximately 527% over the total net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, which totaled approximately $3.2 million.
The total net revenue for the company's prescription products in the first quarter of 2026 was approximately $1.2 million, of which approximately $174,000 stemmed from sales of Mytesi inventory in the first 11 days of the first quarter of 2026, with the remaining bulk of the $1.2 million net revenue stemming from sales of Mytesi inventory to Future Pak later in the first quarter of 2026. In January 2026, as Lisa stated, Jaguar entered into a royalty-free license agreement with Future Pak. Under this agreement, all revenues generated in the United States from Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 effective from January 12, 2026, are directed to Future Pak. This decision aligns with Jaguar's strategic focus on advancing the development of its powder for oral solution formulation of crofelemer for rare disease indications related to intestinal failure in humans.
Net revenue for the company's prescription products decreased 62% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, when total net revenue for prescription products was approximately $3.2 million. Additionally, prescription products net revenue decreased by 45% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025, when total net revenue for prescription products amounted to approximately $2.2 million. Income from operations increased to $19.6 million from a loss of $9.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, to income of $10.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, largely from the license revenue recognized under the Future Pak agreement and decreased operating expenses. Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 were a net loss of $6.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased by approximately $3.4 million from a loss of $10.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, to a loss of $7.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. In addition to the loss from operations, interest expense increased by $800,000 from $56,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, to approximately $700,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, due to interest expenses accrued on new notes. The fair value of financial and hybrid instrument designated as fair value option or FVO decreased by $1 million from a loss of $1.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, to a loss of $300,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated as FVO.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $600,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, due to significant modifications that qualified for extinguishment accounting with none recorded in the same period in 2025. Well, that concludes my recap of high-level financials for the first quarter of 2026. I will now hand the discussion back to Lisa.
Thanks, Carol. As I mentioned, our intestinal failure program is expected to continue to provide clinical proof of concept milestones and is the subject of business development discussions with potential to bring in non-dilutive funds from potential licensee partners. Importantly, crofelemer's status as the first and only oral prescription drug approved by the FDA under Botanical Guidance functions as a de facto and perpetual IP shield. All members of the Jaguar, Napo, and Napo Therapeutics family remain fully energized and excited about the multiple expected near-term catalysts for crofelemer and the company, all of which we view as significant, value-enhancing, transformative, and potentially transformative for patients as well as Jaguar. This concludes our webcast for today. Thank you all for joining, and have a wonderful week.

Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Lisa Conte, Jaguar Health's Founder, President and Chief Officer (sic) [Chief Executive Officer]. Lisa, the floor is yours. Lisa Conte: Thank you very much. Appreciate that introduction. Hello to everybody. Good morning. My name is Lisa Conte and I'm, Founder, President and CEO of Jaguar Health and our wholly owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, and I'm also the Chairman of our Italian subsidiary, Napo Therapeutics. As usual, I may use the word Jaguar and Napo interchangeably as I refer to our company. And after I speak this morning, our CFO, Carol Lizak, will provide a recap of the financial highlights for the third quarter of 2025. And I'm going to kick off by once again stealing Carol's thunder as we are pleased to report that our combined net third quarter 2025 revenue of approximately $3.1 million for prescription and nonprescription products including license revenue, increased approximately 4% versus the net Q2 2025 of approximately $3 million. I'm also happy to report that 2025 continues to be the year of convergence of key clinical and regulatory catalysts for Jaguar. Catalysts that we feel will be transformative in terms of the value that they bring to all stakeholders in the company from patients -- very importantly from patients, to shareholders also very important. Simply put, with the recent achievement of these catalysts, our strategy continues to be to negotiate business development partnerships for licensed rights to the development and commercialization of our Human and Animal late-stage health products with the goal of generating non-dilutive funding for Jaguar. We have three key late-stage initiatives that are the subject of business development negotiations. The first is our orphan indications of crofelemer for intestinal failure associated with the congenital diarrheal disease referred to as MVID, microvillus inclusion disease. I'm going to refer to it as MVID and short bowel syndrome, which I'm going to refer to as SBS. And this program refers to crofelemer, though, not our commercialized Mytesi formulation of crofelemer. Crofelemer in a distinct novel, highly concentrated liquid formulation, which is appropriate for the patient condition -- into a liquid formulation from a lyophilized cake. So what is intestinal failure? It's a debilitating lifelong condition that requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of something referred to as TPN, total parenteral nutrition, with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute parenteral support. As you can imagine, already, this sounds terrible. These are patients who can't absorb their nutrients of life, their protein, carbs, et cetera. So they are living on IV nutrition. Most intestinal failure patients require parenteral support up to 7 days a week and sometimes for 20 hours or more a day, hooked up to IV nutrition. Clearly, this is a catastrophic healthcare situation, quality of life situation. Short bowel syndrome is a rare disease of approximately 400 -- 40,000 patients globally. And for this indication, Jaguar has received orphan drug designation in the United States and in Europe. MVID, intestinal failure MVID patients, this is an ultra-rare disease of approximately 100 to 200 patients globally, and we have also received orphan drug designation in the U.S. and Europe. Infants that are born with this genetic defect have a lethal natural history. They do not become adults. They only survive if immediately receiving TPN, total parenteral nutrition, as I mentioned, parental support which has many toxicities associated with it including liver and kidney toxicity, neurodevelopment delay, many more which often become life-threatening. Crofelemer has been shown to have a groundbreaking reduction of parenteral support of up to 37%. And this is important, as you can imagine, for getting -- reducing the amount of time on toxic TPN and parenteral support. This result was presented last week at the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition referred to as NASPGHAN. And it's an annual meeting in Chicago, and it was -- the results were presented by the study's primary investigator in the investigator-initiated trial, Dr. Mohamad Miqdady. This is important because the reduction of parenteral nutrition and parenteral support is both potentially life-extending, life-saving and disease progression modifying and provides an opportunity for improved quality of life in this otherwise catastrophic medical and disease situation for the patient and quite frankly, the entire family of the child and his or her caregiving team. This unprecedented result is especially compelling given that no approved treatments exist for MVID, and we're not aware of any approach even in development for MVID. Additionally, as presented at NASPGHAN were two short bowel syndrome patients surviving on parenteral support, parenteral nutrition and parenteral support, which similarly had reductions of approximately 12% in their parenteral support. This result is equally important for the same reason for the opportunity to reduce the toxicity associated with the parenteral support. And also, while some short bowel syndrome patients do have an opportunity to be treated with a growth hormone approach to potentially grow their short bowel. And as an aside, by the way, growth hormone is not a standard of care as many side effects itself. And additionally, it's not even possible in an MVID patient as MVID patients have fully intact guts. They're simply not functioning, so there's nothing to grow. But anyway, that short bowel syndrome, approximately 1/3 of the short bowel syndrome population are patients with surgical reasons for their short bowel and have adaptation issues during which they cannot receive a growth hormone and/or may have a hyper-proliferative circumstance such as cancer and therefore, are definitely not candidates for growth hormone approach. Once again, crofelemer is demonstrating proof of concept in an orphan population with no treatment alternatives, nothing in development. And once again, this is a distinct product from Mytesi, the same active ingredient in crofelemer and will be commercialized globally under a business model associated and appropriate for the incentives for rare diseases. I'll now discuss our other core crofelemer development program, cancer therapy related diarrhea, CTD, a planned label extension of supplemental NDA for the already FDA-approved Mytesi product. This program -- and again, it's a distinct product from the IF highly concentrated liquid formulation is also the subject of ongoing business development negotiations. The key clarifying and coordinating event, once again a separate Type C meeting with the FDA in May of 2025 discussing an expedited pathway for approval in metastatic breast cancer patients based on supportive data of prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea in breast cancer patients from the completed Phase III on-target trial, which was presented at San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December of 2024. We're going to combine this with anticipated data from a pivotal randomized withdrawal treatment trial in metastatic breast cancer patients to be initiated in early 2026. In our experience, a randomized withdrawal trial is the optimal design for product that works. And it's a clinical trial design where participants first receive an active treatment and then when, if, they respond, randomly assigned to either continue the active treatment or receive placebo. As a reminder, this trial is with the same formulation and dose as the approved Mytesi for HIV-related diarrhea for which, of course, chronic safety and manufacturing regulatory hurdles have already been approved. Chronic safety or any safety and manufacturing are the two most common reasons why NDAs fail. Again, those have already been achieved with Mytesi. An efficacy end point potentially expands the indication of Mytesi to cancer therapy-related diarrhea under a supplemental NDA and cancer therapy-related diarrhea is a blockbuster opportunity for the patients, of course, and the market opportunity. There are approximately 160,000 metastatic breast cancer patients in the United States, many of whom are on diarrhea causing targeted therapies for the rest of their lives, which thankfully are becoming 5, 10, 15 years of survival sometimes. We have filed for orphan drug designation for metastatic breast cancer indication. Approximately 40% of patients go off their life-saving targeted therapies, specifically because of diarrhea. And now crofelemer has the opportunity to benefit not only patient quality of life, dignity and comfort as important as those supportive care impacts are, though, also impact the outcome of their -- the successful outcome of their cancer therapy. Moving along now to Animal Health side of our business. Our primary activity for Canalevia, our prescription drug candidate of crofelemer, Canalevia is an animal formulation indication that is FDA conditionally approved under the name Canalevia CA-1 for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs. And our primary activity is negotiating with potential partners with which to collaborate to achieve three parallel goals for the drug, expand the U.S. indication for chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs, to the treatment of general diarrhea in dogs, obtain approval in the European Union for Canalevia for general diarrhea in dogs and based on an existing Jaguar study that already exists. And maintain continuity of availability in the United States of Canalevia for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs for which it is already approved again. Remarkably, a cancer patient in the United States experiencing diarrhea can have crofelemer promoted and prescribed if that patient is a dog, a human, not yet. I'm pleased to report that Jaguar is currently in discussions with multiple potential animal health company partners to collaborate to bring Canalevia to regulatory approval and commercialization for general diarrhea globally. This is our third ongoing business development negotiation with the goal of bringing nondilutive dollars to recognize the contribution to late-stage drug development and risk reduction Jaguar has achieved with crofelemer for various indications. Timeline associated with these activities for intestinal failure based on a Type C meeting, a distinct meeting from the cancer meeting that we had with the FDA on October 2. We laid out a pathway for potential expedited review based on continued results like we're seeing in the MVID patient for having data that's fileable by potentially the end of 2026, literally based on a single-digit number of patients because of the ultra-rare nature of the disease and the lethal natural history of the disease, also looking next year for breakthrough designation in the United States and PRIME in Europe, programs that help get products approved in an expedited way for ultra-rare disease situation. For cancer therapy-related diarrhea, we would look to complete the trial for the randomized withdrawal by the end of 2026 as well in support of a supplemental NDA filing. So that would be two potential NDA filings from data at the end of 2026 on the Human side. On the Animal Health side, we're looking to close an animal health partnership in the very near future. I'll now hand the discussion over to Carol, our CFO, for a recap of the financial highlights for the third quarter of 2026. Take it away, Carol. Carol Lizak: Good morning, Lisa, and thank you to all of you who have joined our webcast today. I'll begin my review of our financials for the third quarter of 2025. The combined net third quarter 2025 revenue of approximately $3.1 million for prescription and nonprescription products, including license revenue, increased approximately 4% versus net second quarter 2025 revenue of approximately $3 million and equaled net third quarter of 2024 revenue of approximately $3.1 million. Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 0.9% in the third quarter of 2025 over the second quarter of this year and Mytesi prescription volume in the third quarter of 2025 decreased by 3.6% compared to the volume in the third quarter last year. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels. Loss from operations decreased by $24,000 from $7.2 million in the third quarter of September 30, 2024, to $7.3 million during the same period this year. Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 were a net loss of $8.9 million and $9.2 million respectively. Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased by $352,000 from $9.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024, to $9.5 million in the same period in 2025. And that concludes my recap of high-level financials for the third quarter of 2025. I will now hand the discussion back to Lisa. Lisa Conte: Thanks, Carol. Okay. To all members of the Jaguar, Napo, Napo Therapeutics family, we remain fully energized and excited about the multiple expected near-term catalysts for crofelemer in the company, all of which we view as significant value-enhancing and potentially transformative for patients and as I mentioned, all stakeholders, including our shareholders. Pharmaceutical development is a long-term outcome. And these catalysts represent the convergence of key potential inflection points in our major programs that we've worked on for years. And we expect these catalysts to lead to significant collaborations, business development and licensing deals, and the opportunity to bring in nondilutive dollars to support bringing these late-stage products and programs to regulatory approval and reimbursed patient access. This concludes our webcast for today. Thank you all for joining. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday with your families. And we'll get together again next quarter. Thank you.

Net revenue increased 816% in Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025, and increased 527% in Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025, buoyed by license of U.S. commercial rights for Mytesi® and Canalevia®-CA1 Company continues its focus on crofelemer development efforts for rare-disease intestinal failure indications; two crofelemer presentations in pediatric intestinal failure patients with microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) and short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF) to be made at 58th Annual European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Meeting in June 2026 REMINDERS: Jaguar to host investor webcast Tuesday, May 26 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern regarding Q1 2026 financials and company updates (click here to register); Jaguar CEO Lisa Conte to present virtually on Thursday, May 28 at 10 a.m. Eastern at Lytham Partners Spring 2026 Investor Conference (click here to register) SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 20, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today reported its consolidated first-quarter 2026 financial results. 2026 FIRST QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS: License and Grant Revenue: Effective January 12, 2026, Jaguar entered a U.S. licensing agreement with Woodward Specialty, LLC ("Woodward"), an affiliate of privately held Future Pak, LLC ("Future Pak"). Under the terms of the agreement, Future Pak is now the exclusive U.S. marketer for the Company's Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 products. License revenues for the $16 million initial payment, in addition to the $3.0 million payment for early termination of the Buy-Back Option under this agreement, were recognized by the Company in the first quarter of 2026. Per the terms of the agreement, an additional $2 million is due to Jaguar upon completion of post-closing conditions. Additionally, the Company recognized license fees of $42,500 in the first quarter of 2026 from a securities purchase agreement with a European partner, which was supported by a binding term sheet. Approximately $43,000 of license fees were consistently recognized in each of the quarters of 2025 under this agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounts to $510,000. Federal grant revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2026 for the clinical study related to the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea ("CID") in dogs was $25,000 and none in 2025. Prescription Product Revenue, Net: The total net revenue for the Company's prescription products (Mytesi, Gelclair, and Canalevia-CA1) was approximately $1.2 million, of which approximately $174,000 stemmed from sales of Mytesi inventory in the first 11 days of the first quarter of 2026, with the remaining bulk of the $1.2 million net revenue stemming from sales of Mytesi inventory to Future Pak later in the first quarter of 2026. In January 2026, Jaguar entered into a royalty-free license agreement with Future Pak. Under this agreement, all revenues generated in the United States from Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1, effective from January 12, 2026, are directed to Future Pak. This decision aligns with Jaguar's strategic focus on advancing the development of its powder-for-oral-solution formulation of crofelemer for rare-disease indications related to intestinal failure in humans. This represents a decrease of 62% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, when total net revenue for prescription products was approximately $3.2 million. Additionally, prescription products net revenue decreased by 45% compared to the first quarter of 2025, when total revenues amounted to approximately $2.2 million. Neonorm™: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products were minimal for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025. Cost of Product Revenue: The total cost of product revenue increased by $0.64 million, from $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to about $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The increase in cost was due to sales of inventory to Future Pak in the first quarter of 2026 under the licensing and supply agreement. Research and Development: The R&D expense increased by $0.2 million, from $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to progress of the development of crofelemer into a powder formulation, a process called lyophilization. Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense decreased by approximately $1.6 million, from $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to approximately $0.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was due to the dissolution of the Jaguar/Napo Sales and Marketing Group as of January 12, 2026 following the licensing of Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 to Future Pak. General and Administrative: The G&A expense decreased by approximately $0.8 million, from $4.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2025 to $4.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, largely due to an overall decrease in legal and compliance fees, public company expenses, stock-based compensation and travel expenses. Income from Operations: Income from operations increased $19.6 million, from a loss of $9.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to income of $10.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 largely from the license revenue recognized under the Future Pak agreement and decreased operating expenses. Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased by approximately $3.4 million, from a loss of $10.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to a loss of $7.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026. In addition to the loss from operations: Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 were a net loss of $6.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar's performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Our strategy for 2026 is business development, and I'm pleased to add the description continued business development. And our theme is What's Different Now. Let me start by addressing our achievement of bringing about a transformative business platform at Jaguar. The key event was the closing of a U.S. out-license agreement with Future Pak for Mytesi, our FDA-approved tablet formulation of crofelemer, Mytesi, an agreement that is fully aligned with our strategy to sharply focus our crofelemer development efforts on rare-disease intestinal failure indications. The out-license agreement also covers Canalevia-CA1, crofelemer for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in dogs, as conditionally approved. The key transformative points of this deal are straightforward. First, there's non-dilutive dollars that provide the fuel for the development of our rare-disease pipeline. The deal had $18 million upfront, of which $16 million we have already received. We received when we signed the deal in January, $2 million coming based on certain conditions, and an additional $20 million in milestone payments and other future payments. These are non-dilutive dollars, and we've already received close to $4 million of additional payments above and beyond the $16 million. This is, again, non-dilutive dollars. This has been our vision; this has been our mission. This has been our objective for several years now. Jaguar continues to be the manufacturer of crofelemer, and we are selling it to Future Pak at a profit. So, it now has become a profit center. We have really breakthrough data in the rare-disease area, which I'm going to be talking about in a moment, and near-term development catalysts, clinical catalysts, regulatory catalysts for disease with a natural -- with a lethal natural history, and with endpoints that we're looking at to potentially extend life for this situation. We're in late-stage clinical development in our rare-disease intestinal failure program, and that includes something called MVID, microvillus inclusion disease, which is an ultra-rare congenital diarrheal disorder, and short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure. MVID, we are targeting a New Drug Application for 2027, and that would be coincident with completing a Phase II trial, placebo-controlled trial for short bowel syndrome. For short bowel syndrome, third parties put the market opportunity at about $8 billion by 2023. That's about 100x the size of the Mytesi HIV estimated market size. In that deal, we got an $18 million upfront payment. So that's the enormity and of the blockbuster opportunity in terms of impact on patients, impact on the mortality, the morbidity, the cost to the health care system. And as we are looking to bring in additional partnerships, the type of non-dilutive dollars that we are targeting to bring into this Company. We have really meaningful catalysts in the next 6 to 12 months, as you'll hear as I continue to go through this presentation and a goal to license -- bring in a license deal for rare-disease. That is the key objective of the Company and, as I mentioned, that is our strategy for 2026. We do have a slide that summarizes these points, Carol, I'm not sure if you are able to put that slide up. Terrific. Terrific. As I mentioned, the intestinal-failure program is a blockbuster market, and it's catastrophic for the patients. What is intestinal failure? The intestinal failure is a situation where the patient can't absorb their nutrients of life. Their proteins, their carbs, vitamins, et cetera. So they end up on parenteral nutrition, parenteral support, that's IV support up to 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. So, obviously, hugely catastrophic for quality-of-life, but also for other health issues. It's TPN, parenteral support, but Total Parenteral Nutrition is considered oftentimes as toxic as chemotherapy for a patient, yet necessary for them to live. Otherwise, as I mentioned, it's a lethal natural history for these patients. For an MVID patient, if they are not diagnosed immediately when they're born, they die. And if they are diagnosed, they do go on Total Parenteral Nutrition from the moment that they're born, and they typically don't last beyond their teenage years, first of all, because of the IV interventions, there's infections, there's other problems. But TPN is remarkably toxic to kidneys, to liver, to cognitive function, patients often are on a much slower growth-curve. So, what is the endpoint that we're looking for in our clinical trials? What's the endpoint that we're looking for with crofelemer intervention? It's reduction of TPN and parenteral support by even 5% will be meaningful. And, I was talking with a patient advocate just a couple of weeks ago. And why is that? Because if you can reduce even 5%, 10%, 15% the amount of time that the patient is on parenteral support, it can, for example, allow a child to go off their IV nutrition and be able to attend school. They can get most, if not all, of their parenteral support when they're asleep. So, it makes a very, very big difference in the opportunity for the patient and the patient's entire community, which includes the physician, often nurses, nutritionists, and the family, all working together. Remember, every single day, these patients require parenteral nutrition. So, the groundbreaking results that we have already achieved in the intestinal-failure area were the results of an independent proof-of-concept study that was conducted with crofelemer in pediatric patients in UAE with intestinal failure due to microvillus inclusion disease for one patient and short bowel syndrome in two patients, and these were presented November 8 last year, 2025, at NASPGHAN, which is the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition. This was presented by the study's primary investigator, Dr. Mohammed Miqdady, who has been a colleague and collaborator with the Company for many years, over about 8 years now. The initial results present and demonstrate disease-progression modification with crofelemer through reduction of parenteral support, the key endpoint that I mentioned in pediatric intestinal failure patients, and that reduction ranged from 12% to 37%. And remember, I said even 5% would be considered meaningful and what is meaningful means in terms of the vision, the viewpoint from regulatory agencies, FDA. Very specifically, the 2 pediatric short bowel syndrome intestinal failure patients who completed the treatment, the results show crofelemer reduced parenteral support between 12.5% and 15.6%. For the MVID patient, the parenteral support needs were reduced by up to 37%, and there have been no safety issues, which is consistent with the safety profile of crofelemer as demonstrated in thousands of patients in published clinical trials in other disorders and years of commercial availability of the drug at the FDA -- as the FDA-approved Mytesi for the HIV indication. We expect the patients participating in the ongoing trial in the UAE to be provided with crofelemer for the rest of their lives. Now, at this point, these patients have been treated for over a year. Initially, in the investigator-initiated trial protocol, they were treated for about 3 months with increasing doses. And then, again, no safety issues, they were taken off the drug, and very, very quickly in a matter of literally days, both the community, and the treating community, the parents and the physicians immediately needed to put the patients back on as there was a relapse situation, which is a very important indication of benefit when you're in a non-placebo-controlled situation. So, based on FDA support for a recently submitted protocol amendment for our placebo-controlled trial, which is fully enrolled for MVID, we will continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of crofelemer. Now, this is crofelemer, but it's not Mytesi in terms of formulation. It's a highly concentrated liquid formulation that is appropriate for intestinal failure patients, as you can imagine, a pill would go right through them, and we're also talking about pediatric, in some cases, infants to be administered this product. In this trial, which, as I mentioned, is fully enrolled, the placebo-controlled trial, we filed amendment to allow the opportunity for patients to then go into a treatment-only extension phase. And again, it's expected that we would provide product for the rest of their lives. And this trial is taking place as often happens with rare diseases globally, so you can access the patients. So, in the United States, in Italy, and in the UAE, we're talking about an opportunity to complete our regulatory program and potentially file with continued response as we're seeing for a New Drug Application based on a single-digit number of patients. We also expect to be able to file for a Breakthrough designation from -- with the FDA, which is an opportunity to accelerate the U.S. regulatory path and potentially qualify for the European Medicines Agency, which is like the FDA of Europe, PRIME priority medicines, which can accelerate the regulatory path to approval and to market and commercialize and provide patient access in all 27 EU countries. As I mentioned, the target for the NDA with the FDA, the New Drug Application is in the first half of 2027, MVID against devastating, catastrophic, ultra-rare pediatric disorder; the estimated worldwide prevalence is about 200 patients. So, this trial of crofelemer in just a small number of patients is expected to be both statistically meaningful and remarkably meaningful, huge impact for the individual patients and be supportive of registration. There's no therapies available or even in clinical development for MVID other than life-saving parenteral support, again, lethal natural history and underscores the need for new therapies. We do have Orphan Designation in the U.S. and Europe for both MVID and short bowel syndrome. And not only does that provide the opportunity and the efficiency for a smaller number of patients, by the way, significantly lower cost, smaller number of patients in clinical trials, but also for a great deal of regulatory impact and communication as we're progressing through the program, and we absolutely have been taking advantage of that. As I mentioned, coincidentally, in time, we also have the intestinal-failure program enhanced by clinical proof-of-concept data in pediatric patients with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome. We have an ongoing randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study, again, of this highly concentrated liquid formulation of crofelemer in adult short bowel syndrome intestinal failure patients. Short bowel syndrome and the intestinal failure affects a significantly larger patient population than MVID, although still an orphan indication. And that arises from congenital anomalies, surgical resection due to Crohn's disease, cancer, accidents. Adult and pediatric patients with intestinal failure face chronic dependence on parenteral support due to the insufficient absorptive surface area of their intestine. So, unlike MVID, where the patient's intestine is completely intact, but not functioning, the intestinal-failure situation in short bowel syndrome patients is due to their short bowel. Our intestine, the normal one is typically 20, 25 feet. These could be 5 feet or less. So, there's simply not enough geography to absorb the nutrients of life. Patient population is estimated at about 12,000 patients in the United States in 2021, and this was from a third-party epidemiology study. We expect approval of crofelemer for MVID would support the development program for SBS-IF because the approval of MVID would likely help attract further partnering interest, since it's the same product. It's a different indication, but it would be the same product, safety, manufacturing. We get to benefit from the approval that we already have out there for Mytesi for crofelemer, although in a different formulation and then the efficacy. Very, very specifically, we're interested in a partner to assist in the funding for the final development and commercialization of crofelemer for MVID and short bowel syndrome IF, with commercialization efforts from the partner outside the United States, addressing the global need of this population. Drugs are, of course, approved based on manufacturing and safety, which I mentioned. Again, we get to leverage what we already have in place and the efficacy, safety, the benefit-risk ratio, with a risk of 0, the benefit -- any benefit that we can show, and continue to show based on our proof-of-concept data, can be infinity and beyond. We established our ability to perform and close on important non-dilutive business deals from where I started this presentation in January with the Future Pak deal. Again, $16 million non-dilutive dollars received upfront in January, another $2 million coming, $20 potential million throughout the course of the deal, over $3 million of which other dollars we have already received in this market. The IF market is considered to be 100x larger than the HIV market. With the clinical proof-of-concept data that we already have in hand, and near-term clinical and regulatory milestones ongoing from investigator-initiated trials, from presentations, publications from the ongoing placebo-controlled trials that we have, patients going into treatment-only extension phase, we are confident in our ability and our focus to execute upon our Business Development goals and strategy with our IF program, and further bring in the opportunity to further bring in non-dilutive dollars. I'll now hand the discussion over to Carol for her recap of the financial highlights that we released earlier this week for the third quarter of 2025. Over to you, Carol. Carol Lizak: Well, good morning, Lisa, and thank you all for joining our webcast today. I'll begin my review of our financials for the fourth quarter of 2025. The total net revenue for the Company's prescription products, Mytesi, Gelclair, and Canalevia-CA1 nonprescription products and license revenue was approximately $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 5% over the total net revenue in the third quarter of 2025, which totaled approximately $3.1 million, and a decrease of approximately 8% over the total net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $3.5 million. In 2025, approximately $11.2 million out of the Company's total net revenue of $11.5 million was generated by sales of Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1. Under the terms of the license agreement, Jaguar entered with Future Pak in January 2026. Future Pak will be responsible for all commercial efforts and will receive all proceeds from the U.S. sales of Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 as of January 12, 2026. Jaguar will be responsible for the supply of product at a premium price and will recognize manufacturing revenue. Future Pak has already purchased product from Jaguar in addition to paying $16 million to Jaguar of the upfront license fee and a $3 million payment. As we announced last month, the $3 million payment followed by Jaguar's termination of the buy-back provision of the Licensing Agreement we entered in January with Future Pak. This allows Future Pak to continue to commercialize Mytesi beyond 5 years. As Lisa mentioned, Jaguar will continue to manufacture Mytesi and Canalevia-CA1 for Future Pak, and the Licensing Agreement is in alignment with Jaguar's strategy to concentrate on crofelemer late-stage development efforts for human rare-disease intestinal failure indications. Mytesi prescription volume decreased approximately 3.7% in the year 2025 over 2024, by approximately 5.8% in the fourth quarter of 2025 over the third quarter of 2025, and by approximately 12.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025 over the same period last year. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed-network as they manage their inventory levels. Loss from operations increased by $15.1 million, from $30.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to $45.9 million in 2025. Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA for 2025 and 2024 were net loss of $48.1 million and $35.9 million, respectively. Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $15.1 million, from $38.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to $53.6 million in 2025. In addition to the loss from operations, the fair value of financial and hybrid instrument designation at Fair Value Option decreased by $3.2 million, from a loss of $9.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to a loss of $6.3 million in 2025, primarily due to fair value adjustments in notes-payable designated at FVO or Fair Value Option. Loss on extinguishment of debt increased by $3 million, from a gain of $1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, to a loss of $1.8 million in 2025, primarily due to substantial modifications to the expected payments of one royalty-interest agreement, which triggered extinguishment accounting. That concludes my recap of high-level financials to the fourth quarter of 2025. I will now hand the discussion back to Lisa. Lisa Conte: Thanks very much, Carol. Thanks, everyone, for listening. I do want to mention that while the Future Pak deal brings in, as I said, non-dilutive dollars and value to fuel, our rare-disease program, -- the value to Future Pak is very important in the HIV area, the addition of Mytesi to their portfolio. Last year, Future Pak bought Theratechnologies, which has 2 HIV programs -- 2 HIV products, excuse me, with a remarkable overlap in the targets, the physicians that are treating patients that would be expected to be experiencing GI disorder and HIV-related diarrhea. These are typically older patients, about 50% of patients living with HIV now in the United States are over the age of 50 have had the virus in their gut for over 10 years, often experiencing enteropathy and the inflammation that can lead to leaky gut and diarrhea. And they -- so they have a history, they have a product portfolio, and they have significantly greater commercialization capability than Jaguar. So Mytesi is in good hands in terms of getting to those patients with the unmet medical need and allowing us to focus on our next indications with important unmet medical need and disease, again, with a lethal natural history. So the opportunity to benefit immediate symptom-management, disease-progression modification, and potentially extension of the patient's life. Okay. We expect to provide clinical proof-of-concept milestones and Business Development discussions throughout the rest of this year and into 2027, with a very clear goal and focus to bring in non-dilutive funds from potential licensing partner or partners. We, at Jaguar, Napo, and Napo Therapeutics remain fully energized and excited about the multiple expected near-term catalysts for crofelemer and the Company, all of which we view as significant, value-enhancing, and potentially transformative for patients, and for the Company, and all the stakeholders in the company. Have a good day. This concludes our webcast for today, and we'll see you with the next quarter. Operator: Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's Conference Call.

Jaguar Health Announces Statistically Significant Results from Effectiveness Trial of Crofelemer (FDA Approved Canalevia-CA1) for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea in Dogs
Company Advances Towards Full FDA Approval of Crofelemer for Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 29, 2026 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (Jaguar) today announced topline results from the completion of its effectiveness trial of crofelemer (FDA conditionally approved Canalevia-CA1) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in dogs. The statistically significant results demonstrated that dogs suffering from CID that were treated with Canalevia-CA1 twice daily at the onset of diarrhea had, at the end of 3 days of treatment, an average daily stool that is regarded as normal. Moreover, an owner's survey at the end of the study reported that 83% of owners indicate that Canalevia-CA1 was an effective treatment for their dog's CID. Additionally, around 40% of dog owners reported that Canalevia-CA1 completely resolved their dog's CID. In comparison, only 12.5% of owners reported they saw an improvement in their dog's CID without the use of any chemotherapy-induced diarrhea treatments. The Company expects to file the data from the complete analysis of this trial in support of full regulatory approval of crofelemer for CID and also submit for scientific publication. "We are quite pleased with the study results, supporting the paradigm shifting antisecretory mechanism of action of crofelemer in CID, typically a chloride ion mediated secretory diarrhea common across all mammals. Our vision at the company is to expand the opportunity to treat a broader collection of symptomatic diarrhea causes in companion animals with an anti-secretory approach," said Lisa Conte, Jaguar Founder and CEO. This study, "Clinical Field Study to Collect Real-World Data (RWD) to Demonstrate Real-World Evidence (RWE) of Effectiveness for Canaleviaᆴ-CA1 (Crofelemer delayed-release tablets) 125 mg for the Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea (CID) in Dogs" is the pivotal study in substantiating treatment effectiveness in the upcoming Animal Drug application. Important Safety Information About Canaleviaᆴ-CA1 For oral use in dogs only. Not for use in humans. Keep Canalevia-CA1 in a secure location out of reach of children and other animals. Consult a physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans. Do not use in dogs that have a known hypersensitivity to crofelemer. Prior to using Canalevia-CA1, rule out infectious etiologies of dia…Read full documentShow less
