TORONTO, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS ) (OTCQB: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) ("MediPharm", "MediPharm Labs" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 ("Q2 2026").

The Company improved sequentially on revenue, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA versus the three months ended March 31, 2026 ("Q1 2026"). MediPharm Labs generated Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $0.9 million in Q2 2026, its strongest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA performance since 2019 2 and its second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.

Greg Hunter, Interim CEO and CFO of MediPharm Labs, commented:

"Q2 demonstrates the strength and resilience of the MediPharm platform. We delivered our strongest quarterly Adjusted EBITDA since 2019 and returned to positive net income despite reimbursement and regulatory headwinds across several of our key markets. These results reflect the actions we have taken over the past six months to improve profitability, diversify revenue streams and build a stronger business.

At the same time, the positive Phase II LiBBY results highlight the unique value of our pharmaceutical capabilities and proprietary cannabinoid formulations. Together, these achievements demonstrate the strength of our commercial platform today and the long-term potential of MediPharm to help advance evidence-based cannabinoid medicines for patients with significant unmet needs.”

Financial Highlights

Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $0.9 million, an improvement of $1.5 million versus Q2 2025 and $0.8 million versus Q1 2026.

Net income improved $3.8 million versus Q2 2025, to positive net income in Q2 2026.

Revenue of $10.0 million increased 11% sequentially versus Q1 2026, driven by continued strength in the international medical business.

Gross profit of $4.3 million or 43.2% of revenue, compared with 37.1% in Q1 2026 and 32.2% in Q2 2025.

Operating expenses of $4.0 million, a decrease of $3.2 million or 44% versus Q2 2025 and a decrease of 4% versus Q1 2026. These results reflect the restructuring actions completed in Q1 2026 that are expected to deliver more than $1 million in annualized savings.

Cash of $9.9 million, consistent with Q1 2026.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million, an improvement of $1.4 million versus prior year.

Operational and Commercial Highlights

International Medical

International Medical revenue was $5.8 million, an increase of 26% versus Q1 2026 and 58% of total revenue, driven by growth in the Company’s branded products.

In Germany, revenue increased 45% versus Q1 2026 and 33% versus Q2 2025, with sales of European branded products more than doubling sequentially following the launch of additional Beacon Medical and Wildlife flower products.

The Company shipped its second purchase order of GMP cannabis oils to France, launched Wildlife in Australia, renewed its ANVISA Good Manufacturing Practices certificate in Brazil, and received replenishment orders for New Zealand.

Canada

MediPharm Labs continues to advance initiatives across its medical platforms, to support Veteran patients, prioritizing their service levels and product access, in the face of Veterans Affairs Canada reimbursement changes. Effective April 1, 2026 Veterans Affairs Canada reduced the maximum medical cannabis per gram reimbursement rates by 29% for Veterans. Following the April 1 reimbursement changes, Canadian Medical Cannabis revenue was $2.3 million, a decrease of 23% versus Q1 2026. The Company proactively planned for these changes and was able to mitigate the impact to overall Company profitability through other efficiencies and revenue opportunities.

Canadian Adult Use and Wellness revenue increased 34% versus Q1 2026 to $1.5 million, with the Company maintaining its number two national brand position in the adult use oil category 4 . Following the quarter, the Company will be expanding its portfolio with new provincial listings confirmed, and several new product formats and formulations slated for release in the second half of 2026.

Clinical Development

On July 14, 2026, topline results from the double-blind phase of the Phase II LiBBY (Life’s End Benefits of Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol) trial were presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant improvement in agitation symptoms compared with placebo in patients with advanced dementia at week 2 as measured by the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory, with improvement sustained through the 12-week treatment period. 3

The study evaluated MediPharm Labs’ proprietary oral cannabinoid formulation, which was developed and supplied exclusively by MediPharm Labs for use in the trial and shipped into the United States through a highly regulated cross-border supply chain. MediPharm has filed two U.S. provisional patent applications covering the formulation and related therapeutic applications.

The LiBBY study is led by investigators at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (“USC”) and funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), with additional funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Association through project SG-25-1440079. The study was conducted through the Alzheimer’s Clinical Trials Consortium (“ACTC”) and coordinated by the USC Epstein Family Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Research Institute (“ATRI”) in collaboration with leading academic research institutions across the United States.

Strong Balance Sheet - Virtually Debt Free

MediPharm Labs remains virtually debt free, with outright ownership of two licensed production facilities with a combined appraised value of more than $15M, and is current on excise duties, sales taxes and trade payables. The cash balance remained stable at $9.9 million during the quarter even while inventory levels increased to support customer demand. This strong balance sheet differentiates MediPharm Labs from many industry peers and provides flexibility to fund both organic and selective inorganic growth opportunities as the industry continues to evolve.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release contains references to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-IFRS financial measure. Management believes that this supplementary non-IFRS financial measure provides useful additional information related to the operating results of the Company. This non-IFRS financial measure is not recognized under IFRS and, accordingly, users are cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) and gross profit determined in accordance with IFRS as measures of profitability or as alternatives to the Company’s IFRS-based Financial Statements. The non-IFRS measure presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company’s overall financial performance and is used as an alternative to earnings or income in some circumstances. Adjusted EBITDA is essentially net income (loss) with interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash adjustments and other unusual or non-recurring items added back in. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool as it does not include depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense, finance fees, gain in revaluation of derivative liabilities, taxes, government grants including rent and wage subsidies, one-off transactions, impairment losses on inventory and on fixed assets and intangibles, write down of deposits and share-based compensation. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as the sole measure of the Company’s performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Company’s results as reported under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA, as used within the Company’s disclosure, may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA used by other reporting issuers. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and the Company’s method of calculating such non-IFRS measure may not be comparable to calculations used by other companies bearing the same description.

The following table reconciles the Company’s net operating income (loss) (as reported), and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

(a) This represents the fair value realized on sale of cannabis inventory acquired in a business combination. (b) This relates to certain fees and expenses associated with the proxy contest in connection with the Company’s annual shareholder meeting held June 16, 2025, and ongoing legal expenses related to the Apollo Claim. (c) This includes non-recurring fees, expenses associated with the evaluation of potential mergers and acquisitions, and fees related to reorganization of legal entities. (d) This relates to unusual, non-recurring transactions that are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.
