Clinical & Strategic Highlights (three months ended March 31, 2026)
CALMA Clinical Progress: Continued advancement of the Phase 2 CALMA clinical trial evaluating IGC-AD1 for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease.

IGC-AD1 Intellectual Property: Announced that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office ("CIPO" issued a Notice of Allowance covering the proprietary composition underlying IGC-AD1, the Company's Phase 2 clinical-stage program for agitation associated with AD.
Financial Summary: Focused Investment in Clinical and AI Execution (three months ended March 31, 2026)
Accelerated Research and Development ("R&D" : R&D expenses were approximately $1.3 million, compared to approximately $997 thousand in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the progression of the CALMA trial for IGC-AD1.
Revenue: Revenue was $317 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $330 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A" : SG&A expenses were approximately $1.2 million, compared to approximately $570 thousand in the prior-year period.

Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.02 for both periods.
