  • Net income of 4.68M
  • ""the pigmentation or hyperpigmentation is driven through activity at the melanocortin-1 receptor. So we spent a lot of time -- we've been in this field for a long time, and we've been able to develop selective agonists for the various receptors and we really understand the structure function relationships that have allowed us to really drop down that MCR1 receptor activity. So we're talking about hundreds of thousand fold selectivity for 4 over 1 that will really allow us to either dramatically reduce or potentially eliminate the potential for skin darkening. So that's how we accomplished it."" - Carl Spana

Executive Summary

Palatin Technologies reported a meaningful quarter (Q1 FY2026 ended 2025-09-30) driven by non-dilutive collaboration revenue from Boehringer Ingelheim (BI). The quarter showcased a strong net income of $4.68 million, supported by BI upfront and milestone receipts, while total operating expenses were $4.19 million. Management emphasized that BI collaboration revenues offset ongoing R&D spend and that Palatinโ€™s cash runway is extended beyond Q4 2026 following an $18.2 million equity offering completed in November 2025, which also restored NYSE American listing status. The company also outlined a clear near-term IND and clinical development plan centered on PL-7737 (MCR4 receptor selective oral small molecule) with IND filing targeted for the first half of calendar 2026 and initial human data in the second half of 2026, alongside ongoing long-acting melanocortin peptides in the obesity space. Palatinโ€™s strategy includes licensing and out-licensing opportunities for multiple melanocortin programs (PL-9643, PL-8177, and preclinical kidney disease candidates) and continuing collaboration-driven non-dilutive capital to advance pipeline milestones.
