Onvansertib in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan demonstrated enhanced antitumor activity, including tumor regression and apoptosis in HER2-low breast cancer models, supporting its potential for patients with limited treatment options

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRDF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging PLK1 inhibition to develop novel therapies across a range of cancers, will present new preclinical data in a poster at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, taking place April 17–22 in San Diego, California. These data highlight the potential of Cardiff’s highly specific oral PLK1 inhibitor, onvansertib, in combination with the HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), demonstrating robust antitumor activity and the ability to overcome resistance in HER2-low breast cancer models.

“These preclinical findings highlight a potential new opportunity for onvansertib, demonstrating its ability to enhance the activity of ADCs, which are becoming mainstays in oncology across multiple indications,” said Tod Smeal, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Cardiff Oncology. “By enhancing and prolonging DNA damage, this combination appears to drive greater apoptosis than either agent alone, offering a promising new approach for patients whose cancers have become resistant to standard-of-care treatments.”

Poster Presentation Highlights:

  • Onvansertib + T-DXd synergistically inhibited the viability of HER2-low breast cancer cell lines, including fulvestrant- and CDK4/6i-resistant cells
  • In the resistant triple-negative breast cancer model and two hormone receptor-positive models, the combination drove tumor regression in nearly all mice, with complete response rates up to 62%
  • Increased tumor regression, improved tumor growth inhibition, and extended event-free survival across models
  • Combination showed favorable tolerability in vivo

Following the presentation on April 19, 2026 from 2:00–5:00 PM PT, the poster titled “PLK1 inhibitor onvansertib potentiates the antitumor efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) and reverses its resistance in therapy-resistant HER2-low breast cancer models” will be available on the Scientific Publications page of the Company’s website.

About Onvansertib
Onvansertib is a highly specific, oral PLK1 inhibitor currently in mid-stage clinical development for RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer. It is also being evaluated in multiple other cancers through investigator-initiated studies, including metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).

Release -Snail Games Expands Global Games Pipeline with Upcoming Launches and Long-Term Publishing and Development Diversification Strategy

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on SNAL

PDF Version

Company highlights ongoing transition toward a broader multi-platform portfolio supported by new indie releases, expanding partnerships, and long-term AAA development roadmap

CULVER CITY, Calif., April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail Games” or the “Company”), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, today announced that Survivor Mercs will officially launch its 1.0 version on April 30, 2026. Published under the Company’s indie label, Wandering Wizard, the game will be available on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation, marking its transition from Early Access into a full global release.

Built alongside its community over multiple updates, Survivor Mercs heads into 1.0 with expanded content, refined systems, and a gameplay experience designed to support long-term player engagement. With its debut on consoles, the title has the potential to reach a broader audience, further strengthening Snail Games’ multi-platform presence.

The release also reflects Wandering Wizard’s growing role within the Company’s publishing strategy. By supporting projects through development and community feedback, the label continues to bring titles to market that are both polished and positioned for long term relevance, supporting a broader shift toward scalable, internally driven growth.

This direction was recently underscored in an interview with Proactive Investors, where Snail Games highlighted its strategy forming a growing pipeline of titles. CFO Heidy Chow noted, “We don’t want to rely on just one IP, we want to be more diversified. Our focus is on building a broader portfolio across genres, platforms, and development models to create a more balanced foundation that can support long-term growth.” CFO Chow also highlighted the Company’s recently amended Software License Agreement with SDE Inc., which provides the Company with an exclusive worldwide license to publish and sell ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK Survival Ascended. Under this amended agreement, the annual license fee was reduced by $6 million, with the savings being redirected back into internal development and operations. Snail Games is actively broadening its business beyond the ARK franchise through a diversified slate of indie, mid-core, and AAA experiences.

Progress with this strategy is exemplified by Snail Games seeing encouraging traction across its broader pipeline. Echoes of Elysium, an upcoming title currently surpassing 170,000 wishlists, continues to build visibility as it progresses toward its own 1.0 release. Ongoing updates and steady community growth point to strong early interest and reinforce the game’s positioning as a high-potential addition to the Company’s portfolio.

The Company’s expanding pipeline is supported by increased investment in internal development, global studio partnerships, and a continued focus on long-term content creation. Bellwright, developed by Polish studio Donkey Crew, of which Snail Games holds a strategic ownership stake, serves as a clear example of this approach in action. The title surpassed 1 million lifetime downloads earlier this year and continues to see ongoing expansion following its early access launch. It will also be featured in Steam’s Medieval Fest next week, providing additional visibility and further engagement opportunities before its 1.0 release and console port.

This approach extends further into the longer term pipeline, where three internally developed AAA titles are currently in progress for 2027, including For The Stars. Together, this combination of active releases and future facing development supports a more continuous content cycle designed to expand global reach and build a more diversified and durable portfolio over time.

Research News and Market Data on GOVX

Pivotal Phase 3 Trial for GEO-MVA (Mpox/Smallpox Vaccine)

Scheduled to Initiate During the Second Half of This Year

ATLANTA, GA, April 15, 2026 – GeoVax Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOVX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing multi-antigenic vaccines and immunotherapies against infectious diseases and cancer, today announced its financial results and key operational accomplishments for the year ended December 31, 2025.

“During 2025, we made significant progress advancing GEO-MVA toward late-stage clinical development, supported by regulatory alignment with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and key manufacturing milestones,” stated David Dodd, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GeoVax. “We believe GEO-MVA represents a critically important opportunity to eliminate the current global supply constraint in orthopoxvirus vaccines, while supporting broader public health preparedness and biosecurity objectives. As such, we look forward to initiating the planned Phase 3 immuno-bridging study in the second half of this year, which represents the next key step in advancing GEO-MVA to regulatory approval and access, providing a critically needed supply source of MVA-vaccine.”

Mr. Dodd concluded, “As we look ahead, our priority is executing key GEO-MVA clinical and regulatory milestones, strengthening strategic partnerships, while selectively advancing other programs, addressing critical medical needs worldwide, while maximizing long-term value to shareholders and stakeholders.”

Corporate and Operational Highlights

Priority Program – GEO-MVA

GeoVax’s primary near-term strategic development focus is the advancement of GEO-MVA, its Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based vaccine candidate targeting mpox and smallpox. GEO-MVA is the Company’s most advanced program and its most direct path to potential regulatory approval and commercialization. GEO-MVA is being developed on an expedited regulatory pathway to address a documented global supply constraint in orthopoxvirus vaccines, while supporting both public health preparedness and biosecurity needs, including diversification of supply beyond a single foreign manufacture.

During 2025, the Company achieved several key milestones, advancing GEO-MVA toward late-stage development and commercial readiness: 

  • Regulatory Alignment: GeoVax received formal Scientific Advice from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), supporting a streamlined and accelerated development pathway for GEO-MVA, including a single Phase 3 immuno-bridging study without the need for prior Phase 1 or Phase 2 trials.
  • Phase 3 Readiness: The Company is preparing to initiate a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in the second half of 2026, representing the critical next step toward potential regulatory approval and product distribution.
  • Manufacturing Progress: GeoVax completed cGMP manufacturing and fill-finish of clinical-grade GEO-MVA, establishing readiness for clinical supply and potential commercialization.

GeoVax believes GEO-MVA is uniquely positioned at the intersection of:

  • Recurring global mpox outbreaks and evolving viral strains
  • Depleted government stockpiles following recent outbreaks
  • Policy-driven demand for diversified and domestic vaccine supply

Given these dynamics, GEO-MVA is expected to play a central role in global orthopoxvirus preparedness strategies. The Company is actively aligning GEO-MVA with public health preparedness and biosecurity procurement frameworks, including engagement with international regulatory and governmental stakeholders.

Additional Progress Across Clinical Pipeline

Beyond GEO-MVA, GeoVax continues to advance a diversified pipeline spanning infectious diseases and oncology:

  • GEO-CM04S1 (COVID-19 Vaccine):
    • Advancing through multiple Phase 2 clinical trials targeting immunocompromised populations, including stem cell transplant and CLL patients.
    • Data readouts expected in 2026, including from a completed booster trial in healthy adults.
    • Interim DSMB findings in the CLL study indicated superior immune responses versus mRNA comparator, supporting continued development.
  • Gedeptin® (Oncology):
    • Completed Phase 1/2 clinical evaluation in advanced head and neck cancer.
    • Entered into an exclusive license agreement with Emory University to support combination use with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
    • Planning Phase 2 trial for first-line treatment in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (2027).

2025 Full Year Financial Results

Net Loss: Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $21.5 million, or $22.40 per share, as compared to $25.0 million, or $120.46 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue: For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported $2.5 million of government contract revenues associated with the BARDA/RRPV Project NextGen award, compared to $4.0 million during 2024. In April 2025, GeoVax received notification that BARDA determined to terminate the contract for convenience to the government.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $18.1 million for 2025, compared to $23.7 million in 2024, with the overall decrease primarily related to discontinued costs associated with termination of the BARDA/RRPV contract, as well as lower costs for the GEO-CM04S1 clinical trials and manufacturing costs associated with the GEO-CM04S1 and Gedeptin programs.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for 2025, compared to $5.4 million in 2024, with the overall increase primarily due to higher personnel costs, investor relations consulting and other programmatic expenses, patent costs, and stock-based compensation expense.

Cash Position: GeoVax reported cash balances of $3.1 million on December 31, 2025, as compared to $5.5 on December 31, 2024.

Summarized financial information is attached. Further information is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Connors, chairman and CEO of ISG. “Our highly respected and trusted barometer has evolved over the years to reflect the seismic changes in our industry, including the advent of cloud-based services. Now, the industry is at a new inflection point. It needs a new way to measure the impact of AI on the broader technology services market. The ISG AI Index is that benchmark.”

The ISG AI Index is pegged to a December 2022 starting point. “We selected this month since it coincides with the November 30, 2022 release date of ChatGPT 3.0 and the start of the current AI era,” said Connors. “From there, we are tracking the impact of AI on technology infrastructure, software and services on an ongoing basis, with initial results through the end of 2025.”

Inaugural Results

The inaugural results of the ISG AI Index show that infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) has seen the greatest impact from AI, up 160 percent. Software as-a-service (SaaS) has risen 53 percent while managed services is up only slightly, at 0.3 percent. On a market-weighted basis, the composite ISG AI Index was up 77 percent since inception.

“What we are seeing from the ISG AI Index is that AI is already reshaping the technology services sector, but not evenly,” said Steve Hall, the firm’s chief AI officer who leads both the ISG Index and the new ISG AI Index. “Infrastructure is capturing the first wave of growth, as hyperscalers add data center capacity to meet rising demand. Software is monetizing next, while managed services is still in the build-out phase, and that likely means the bigger services impact is still ahead of us.”

The ISG AI Index measures each of the three market segments through a combination of key performance indicators: revenue, profitability and stock price performance, along with one forward-looking AI indicator unique to each segment.

“For each segment, we picked one indicator that best shows how AI is impacting that part of the market,” Hall said. “In infrastructure, we use capital expenditure, because it tells us how much capacity hyperscalers are building ahead of demand. In software, we use current remaining performance obligations, or cRPO, which is essentially backlog—revenue that’s been sold but not yet recognized, making it one of the best forward-looking indicators of demand. And in services, we use revenue per employee, because it gives us a simple view of productivity—how much output providers are generating from their workforce as AI starts to change how work is done.”

Segment Performance

The clearest signal of AI’s impact on infrastructure services is capital expenditure, which is up 265 percent since the inception of the ISG AI Index. Revenue is up 100 percent, profitability is up 60 percent, and stock performance is up 113 percent.

In software, revenue is up 61 percent, profitability is up 18 percent and stock performance is up 39 percent, with cRPO up 71 percent. “This shows the market is still buying and backlog is still building. The market is simply trying to work out how AI changes pricing, monetization and long-term economics,” Hall said.

While the managed services composite is roughly flat, Hall said the underlying signals show revenue up 8 percent, profitability up 4 percent, stock performance down 36 percent and revenue per employee up nearly 8.5 percent. “What this tells us is that AI has started to improve productivity in services, but that has not yet translated into broad-based monetization or market confidence,” Hall said. “AI is having an impact, but that impact is still in the early stages.”

The next edition of the ISG AI Index, to be published after the second quarter, will include additional market measures: AI sentiment, tracking enterprise signals on demand, pricing, margins and investment priorities, and AI maturity, measuring enterprise readiness, constraints and adoption levels.

Release – MAIA Biotechnology Activates First U.S. Site for Ongoing International Phase 2 Expansion Trial of Novel Telomere Targeting Treatment Targeting Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Posted on by [email protected]

April 16, 2026 9:20am EDT Download as PDF

Exceptional measures of efficacy observed in THIO-101 Phase 2 trial to date include disease control, response rates, and survival data well above standard of care benchmarks

50,000 advanced NSCLC diagnoses in the U.S. annually

CHICAGO, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAIA Biotechnology, Inc. (NYSE American: MAIA) (“MAIA”, the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer, today announced that it has activated the first U.S. clinical site in its Phase 2 THIO-101 expansion trial of its lead investigational therapy as a third-line (3L) treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

“We are thrilled to activate the expansion of our Phase 2 THIO-101 trial in the U.S., bringing our novel treatment to our country’s broad underserved NSCLC patient population. Every year, we estimate approximately 50,000 patients resistant to chemo and CPIs alone advance to third-line NSCLC in the U.S. The medical need is extensive,” said Vlad Vitoc, M.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MAIA.

The trial’s expansion into the U.S. marks a key milestone for MAIA, which is expected to open a significantly larger patient pool for evaluation of ateganosine, a novel dual mechanism of action drug candidate incorporating telomere targeting and immunogenicity. In addition to the first location, Summit Medical Group in New Jersey, MAIA intends to open four additional sites in U.S. in 2026. The trial is ongoing in Europe and Asia with 44 active sites in 6 countries.

MAIA’s THIO-101 expansion study evaluates ateganosine in heavily pre-treated patients in 3L NSCLC who have previously failed treatment with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) and chemotherapy. Two treatment arms are being studied: ateganosine sequenced with cemiplimab (Libtayo®) and ateganosine monotherapy. Third-line treatment evaluation in the U.S. is funded by a prestigious $2.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

“The activation of Summit Medical Group as our first U.S. clinical site is a landmark moment for the THIO-101 study. This is expected to further advance ateganosine as a potential best-in-class therapy for third-line NSCLC,” said Matthew Failor, MAIA’s Director of Clinical Operations. “Partnering with a premier institution like Summit should allow us to bring this highly innovative telomere-targeting approach to U.S. patients who have limited options.”

“We are proud to be the first U.S. site to offer patients access to MAIA’s innovative THIO-101 expansion trial and contribute to advancing a promising new treatment strategy in lung cancer,” added Charles J. Kim, M.D., Summit Health oncologist and principal investigator for the THIO-101 trial in New Jersey.

MAIA holds FDA Fast Track designation for its lead drug targeting advanced NSCLC. The Fast Track process is designed to facilitate development and expedite the review of drugs for serious conditions with no treatment options or limited low-efficacy therapies. If relevant criteria are met during the Fast Track process, a drug is eligible for FDA Accelerated Approval and Priority Review (FDA decision within six months).

In 2025, THIO-101 delivered exceptional efficacy data for MAIA’s lead investigational drug sequenced with a checkpoint inhibitor including disease control, response rates, and survival data well above standard of care benchmarks. MAIA recently reported overall survival (OS) beyond two years for eight patients treated with ateganosine sequenced with cemiplimab in Parts A and B of the trial. The eight patients include one with survival of 33 months and four with survival over 30 months. The measures of 3L OS beyond 24 months exceed all known benchmarks for advanced NSCLC treatment. The THIO-101 treatment regimen has shown an acceptable safety profile to date in a heavily pre-treated population.

About Ateganosine

Ateganosine (THIO, 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine) is a first-in-class investigational telomere-targeting agent currently in clinical development to evaluate its activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Telomeres, along with the enzyme telomerase, play a fundamental role in the survival of cancer cells and their resistance to current therapies. The modified nucleotide 6-thio-2’-deoxyguanosine induces telomerase-dependent telomeric DNA modification, DNA damage responses, and selective cancer cell death. Ateganosine-damaged telomeric fragments accumulate in cytosolic micronuclei and activates both innate (cGAS/STING) and adaptive (T-cell) immune responses. The sequential treatment of ateganosine followed by PD-(L)1 inhibitors resulted in profound and persistent tumor regression in advanced, in vivo cancer models by induction of cancer type–specific immune memory. Ateganosine is presently developed as a second or later line of treatment for NSCLC for patients that have progressed beyond the standard-of-care regimen of existing checkpoint inhibitors.

About THIO-101 Phase 2 Clinical Trial

THIO-101 is a multicenter, open-label, dose finding Phase 2 clinical trial. It is the first trial designed to evaluate ateganosine’s anti-tumor activity when followed by PD-(L)1 inhibition. The trial is testing the hypothesis that low doses of ateganosine administered prior to cemiplimab (Libtayo®) will enhance and prolong immune response in patients with advanced NSCLC who previously did not respond or developed resistance and progressed after first-line treatment regimen containing another checkpoint inhibitor. The trial design has two primary objectives: (1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ateganosine administered as an anticancer compound and a priming immune activator (2) to assess the clinical efficacy of ateganosine using Overall Response Rate (ORR) as the primary clinical endpoint. The expansion of the study will assess overall response rates (ORR) in advanced NSCLC patients receiving third line (3L) therapy who were resistant to previous checkpoint inhibitor treatments (CPI) and chemotherapy. Treatment with ateganosine followed by cemiplimab (Libtayo®) has shown an acceptable safety profile to date in a heavily pre-treated population. For more information on this Phase II trial, please visit ClinicalTrials.gov using the identifier NCT05208944.

About MAIA Biotechnology, Inc.

MAIA is a targeted therapy, immuno-oncology company focused on the development and commercialization of potential first-in-class drugs with novel mechanisms of action that are intended to meaningfully improve and extend the lives of people with cancer. Our lead program is ateganosine (THIO), a potential first-in-class cancer telomere targeting agent in clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC patients with telomerase-positive cancer cells.

Release – Vince Holding Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Results

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on VNCE

04/15/2026

Q4 Net Sales Increased 4.7% to $83.7M
Q4 Net Loss of $3.6M, includes $6M charge related to Saks reorganization; Q4 Adjusted EBITDA of $4.5M

FY2025 Net Sales Increased 2.2% to $300.0M
FY2025 Net Income of $6.4M; FY2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $15.1M

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Vince Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: VNCE) (“VNCE” or the “Company”), a global retail platform, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Brendan Hoffman, Chief Executive Officer of VNCE said, “I am incredibly proud of the strong operating results we delivered in the fourth quarter reflecting the powerful momentum we built throughout fiscal 2025. Our team executed across all areas of the business, delivering nearly 5% sales growth with profitability exceeding the high end of our guidance ranges. The strength we saw in our direct-to-consumer business, with approximately 10% growth, demonstrates the power of our strategic initiatives as well as the quality of our product offering which continues to resonate with customers.”

Mr. Hoffman continued, “Our teams have done a tremendous job navigating the current environment while advancing key initiatives – from expanding our e-commerce capabilities and drop-ship program to scaling our men’s business and driving a full-price store business. The momentum we built throughout fiscal 2025 has carried seamlessly into the new year. We enter fiscal 2026 operating from a position of strength with a clear roadmap for profitable growth ahead.”

In this press release, the Company is presenting its financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as well as on an “adjusted” basis. Adjusted results presented in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information about the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this press release for reconciliations of GAAP measures to such non-GAAP measures.

For the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2026:

  • Total Company net sales increased 4.7% to $83.7 million compared to $80.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by a 10.4% increase in the direct-to-consumer segment which offset a 1.2% decline in the wholesale segment.
  • Gross profit was $41.1 million, or 49.1% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $40.1 million, or 50.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross margin rate was primarily driven by approximately 300 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of tariffs, 160 basis points due to higher promotional activity, and approximately 125 basis points due to increased freight costs, partially offset by a favorable impact of approximately 380 basis points primarily due to higher pricing.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $44.0 million, or 52.6% of sales, compared to $37.8 million, or 47.2% of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily driven by a $6.0 million bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization.
  • Loss from operations was ($2.9) million compared to a loss from operations of ($29.7) million in the same period last year. The year over year decrease in loss from operations is primarily driven by $32.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge (the “Goodwill Impairment Charge”) recorded in the prior comparative quarter, offset by the bad debt expense of $6.0 million related to the Saks reorganization. For fiscal 2025, excluding the impact of the bad debt expense, adjusted income from operations* was $3.1 million. For the prior year, excluding the Goodwill Impairment Charge and the transaction expenses (“P180 Transaction Expenses”) related to the acquisition of the Company’s majority stake by a wholly owned subsidiary of P180, Inc., adjusted income from operations* was $2.5 million.
  • Income tax provision was $0.5 million compared to an income tax benefit of $2.0 million in the same period last year. The year over year change is primarily driven by a tax benefit taken in the prior comparative quarter due to the reversal of the non-cash deferred tax liability associated with the goodwill impairment, which previously could not be used as a source of income to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company’s net operating losses.
  • Net loss was ($3.6) million or $(0.28) per share compared to a net loss of ($28.3) million or $(2.24) per share in the same period last year. Excluding the impact of bad debt expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, adjusted net income* for the period was $2.4 million or $0.18 per share. This compares to adjusted net income* in the prior year period of $0.8 million or $0.06 per share which excludes the Goodwill Impairment Charge and the transaction expenses previously defined.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* was $4.5 million compared to $5.4 million in the same period last year.
  • The Company ended the quarter with 55 company-operated Vince stores, a net decrease of 2 stores since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026:

  • Total Company net sales increased 2.2% to $300.0 million compared to $293.5 million in fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by a 4.8% increase in the direct-to-consumer segment and a 0.2% increase in the wholesale segment.
  • Gross profit was $149.1 million, or 49.7% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $145.2 million, or 49.5% of net sales, in fiscal 2024. The increase in gross margin rate was driven by approximately 340 basis points related to higher pricing and 70 basis points due primarily to lower discounting. These increases were partially offset by approximately 250 basis points resulting from higher tariffs and 130 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of increased freight and distribution and handling costs.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $139.9 million, or 46.6% of sales, compared to $138.0 million, or 47.0% of sales, in fiscal 2024. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily driven by $6.5 million of bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization, increased marketing and advertising costs of approximately $1.9 million, and increased legal fees of approximately $1.4 million. These increased SG&A costs were partially offset by a decrease primarily driven by the receipt of payroll tax credit payments from the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Employee Retention Credit program (the “ERC benefit”). The ERC benefit was approximately $7.2 million, of which $5.6 million related to the original payroll tax credit claims and was recorded in SG&A as an offset to compensation expenses, with the remaining $1.6 million of interest payments recorded as Other income. In addition, there was a decrease in professional fees.
  • Income from operations was $9.2 million compared to loss from operations of $17.2 million in the same period last year. Adjusted income from operations* in fiscal 2025 was $10.1 million compared to adjusted income from operations* of $7.3 million in the same period last year.
  • Income tax provision was $2.6 million. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was 35.1% and 15.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and changes in our valuation allowance, partially offset by nontaxable ERC benefits. The tax provision in fiscal 2025 compares to an income tax benefit of $3.6 million in the same period last year.
  • Net income was $6.4 million or $0.49 per share compared to net loss of $19.0 million or $(1.51) per share in the same period last year. Adjusted net income* for fiscal 2025 was $5.8 million or $0.44 per share compared to adjusted net income* of $2.4 million or $0.19 per share in the same period last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* was $15.1 million compared to $14.0 million last year.

Fourth Quarter Review

  • Net sales increased 4.7% to $83.7 million as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Wholesale segment sales decreased 1.2% to $38.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 10.4% to $45.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses was $10.8 million compared to income from operations of $16.7 million in the same period last year. The decline compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by a $6.0 million bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization.

Net Sales and Operating Results by Segment:

Balance Sheet

At the end of fiscal 2025, total borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements totaled $19.5 million and the Company had $40.8 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.

Net inventory at the end of fiscal 2025 was $66.2 million compared to $59.1 million at the end of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase in inventory includes approximately $4.8 million of higher inventory carrying value due to tariffs.

During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company issued and sold 578,041 shares of common stock under the Virtu At-the-Market offering for aggregate net proceeds of $2,023 at an average price of $3.57 per share. At January 31, 2026, $861 was available under Virtu At-the-Market Offering.

Outlook

For the first quarter of fiscal 2026 the Company expects the following:

  • Net sales to increase approximately 8.5% to 10.5% compared to the prior year period.
  • Adjusted operating loss as a percentage of net sales to be approximately (3.5)% to (4.5)%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales to be approximately (1.5)% to (2.5)%.

For fiscal 2026 the Company expects the following:

  • Net sales to increase approximately 3% to 6% compared to the prior year.
  • Adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales to be approximately 3.5% to 4%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales to be approximately 5% to 5.5%.

Following the Supreme Court’s decision striking down certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, (“IEEPA”), the Company’s outlook assumes a 15 percent rate for applicable inventory receipts under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The Company’s outlook does not consider potential tariff refunds resulting from the Supreme Court’s decision on the IEEPA tariffs.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided, with respect to the financial results relating to the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, capitalized cloud computing amortization, goodwill impairment, P180 transaction expenses, bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization (“Bad debt expense”), ERC benefit, and gain on sale of Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (“Gain on Sale of Subsidiary”). For the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company has provided adjusted income from operations, adjusted income before income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment, adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted income before equity in net income of equity method investment, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures, in order to eliminate the effect of the Bad Debt Expense, ERC benefit, Discrete Tax Effect associated with ERC benefit, Gain on sale of Subsidiary, Impairment of Goodwill, the P180 Transaction Expenses, and the associated income tax impacts.

The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures facilitates an understanding of the Company’s continuing operations without the impact associated with the aforementioned items. While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are excluded from the indicated financial information due to their impact on the comparability of earnings across periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this press release.

Release – Comstock Releases Shareholder Letter and Reminder of AGM Registration

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on LODE

VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA, APRIL 15, 2026 – Comstock Inc. (NYSE American: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) today announced that its chief executive officer issued the following letter to shareholders:

Dear Shareholders:

On behalf of our Board of Directors, Executive Officers, and the entire team, we thank all of you, our new and long-standing shareholders, for supporting a remarkable transformation that has positioned us for global growth and impact.

In 2021, we set out on an ambitious transformation – evolving from a traditional mining company into a global, standard-setting, certified, zero-landfill renewable metals solution. Your support, especially throughout 2025 and early 2026, has been integral, as we continue accelerating the commercial deployment of our differentiated metal recycling solution.

Comstock Metals has deployed and is now scaling a sustainable, proprietary, and highly efficient metal recycling solution that produces clean aluminum, silver, copper, and glass – critical to renewable energy supply chains – and we are now developing a domestic refining solution designed to maximize the recovery of these and other critical metals from abundant, rapidly expiring, photovoltaic waste resources – we can now envision a silver mine that never stops producing.

Comstock Metals has proven its process with all types of solar panels through multi-year, demonstration-scale production and has secured all prerequisite permits to now expand and scale its industrial operations. We have received substantially all of our industry-scale equipment, expanded our storage capacity, and secured world-class customers. We have designed a first-of-its-kind, industrial tailings refining solution that enables a fully closed-loop process for our mineral-rich tailings. Our team’s persistence has been unwavering, and we are now commercializing with full focus and speed.

Building on that momentum, our goal is nothing short of establishing the global standard in solar recycling and refining. Our core objectives for 2026-2030 include capturing leading market shares with larger, more strategic customer transactions, deploying at least five solar panel recycling facilities; beginning with the first two in Nevada, designing, testing and deploying a one-ton-per-day demonstration refinery in Nevada, and integrating storage facilities across the country, including our initial storage and transfer locations in California, Nevada, and Ohio. International expansion will follow as our domestic recycling and refining capacity comes online and our market share continues to grow and grow.

Monetizing our legacy

Our legacy starts with our namesake, the Comstock Lode. We are in advance discussions with a select group of credible, well capitalized mining companies for the sale of our mining assets. We believe that the expected financial returns from recycling solar panels (also known as “urban mining”) far exceed the returns from hard-rock mining in both speed, duration, and of course, absolute magnitude. Capital redeployed from our mining assets to our solar recycling platform is expected to result in highly positive and sustainable value accretion for our stakeholders. We expect approximately $50 million in value from this transaction with meaningful cash up front this year and more cash over the next few years.

Our legacy also includes prior investments in real estate, including the formation of Sierra Springs Opportunity Fund Inc. (“SSOF”) and the consolidation of thousands of acres of industrial, commercial, and residential real estate in Silver Springs, Nevada. This real estate includes the locations we are leasing for our metal recycling facilities. Our recent ability to secure natural gas-based power sources, in an area now leading in industrial manufacturing and data center development, positions us to capitalize on both our investment in SSOF and our adjacent, direct land holdings. While this requires additional capital allocation to perfect and control, the results should enable an extremely valuable, monetizable land portfolio that we have prioritized to sell. We expect to define these transactions and values in 2026.

We appreciate everyone’s support, including our new investors and directors, and look forward to executing in 2026.

Kindest regards, 

Corrado De Gasperis 
Chief Executive Officer, Comstock Inc.
