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:
Interest expense increased by $0.8 million, from $56,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to approximately $0.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, due to interest expenses accrued on new notes.
The fair value of financial and hybrid instrument designation at Fair Value Option ("FVO") decreased by $1.0 million, from a loss of $1.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 to a loss of $0.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.6 million 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.
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.
