Kane Biotech Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Aug. 27, 2026 -- Kane Biotech Inc. (TSX-V:KNE) (the “Company”, “Kane” or “Kane Biotech”) announces today its second quarter 2026 financial results. Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights: • Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $8,143 compared to $27,997 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue in the second quarter of 2026 reflected the Company’s continued early-stage commercialization of its revyve® product line, including initial sales activity as commercial and distribution channels continued to develop. Revenue in the prior-year period consisted entirely of sales from legacy animal health operations and the legacy DermaKB® product line, both of which the Company has since exited as part of its strategic transition to a focused human wound care business. Kane Biotech remains focused on accelerating commercialization of the revyve® portfolio in Canada and the United States by building market awareness, expanding distribution, and supporting broader adoption of its antimicrobial wound care products. • Gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $1,444 compared to a gross loss of $(45,526) for the second quarter of 2025. The improvement reflects the Company’s transition from legacy operations to the early commercialization of its revyve portfolio, as initial market development activities and product sales began to support positive gross margin contribution. • Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $785,927 compared to $229,930 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the impact of stock option expense recorded in the current period and one-time reversals of compensation-related accruals recorded in the comparative period. These increases were partially offset by lower other administration costs and lower research and development expenses, including reduced contract research, patent-related and other research costs. • Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $(833,636) compared to a net loss of $(348,541) for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in net loss was due primarily to higher operating expenses recorded in the current period, as described above. Cash at June 30, 2026 was $854,729. Kane Biotech's June 30, 2026 Financial Statements and the Management Discussion and Analysis with regards thereto are now available on SEDAR+ and the Company’s website.
