Increased 2026 revenue guidance from $510 million to $525 million

Achieved record-high quarterly revenues, Adjusted EBITDA1 and Adjusted EBITDA per share1 since inception

MONTREAL, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Knight Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: GUD) (“Knight” or “the Company”), a pan-American (ex-US) pharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026. All currency amounts are in thousands except for share and per share amounts. All currencies are Canadian unless otherwise specified.

Q1-26 Highlights

Financial Results - IFRS

Revenues were $148,439, an increase of $60,363 or 69% over the same period in prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the incremental revenues from the Paladin and Sumitomo portfolios, the growth of our promoted products, and the purchasing patterns of certain products including Ambisome® deliveries to the MOH.Gross margin was $69,109 or 47% of revenues compared to $34,866 or 40% of revenues in the same period in prior year. The increase in gross margin % was driven by both a higher contribution of the Canadian business in Q1-26 compared to Q1-25 and the lower impact of hyperinflation2, partly offset by product mix including a higher proportion of Ambisome® deliveries to the MOH.Operating income was $10,578 compared to an operating loss of $5,537 in the same period in prior year.Net income was $13,169, compared to $2,185 in the same period in prior year.Net income per share was $0.13, compared to $0.02 in the same period in prior year.Generated cash inflow from operations of $40,694, and ended Q1-26 with over $125,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Revenues: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, revenues increased by $60,363 or 69% compared to the same period in prior year. Excluding IAS 291, the increase was $59,615 or 68% and $55,395 or 60% on a constant currency2 basis. The mature products of the Paladin and Sumitomo portfolios contributed $17,037 of incremental revenues. The remainder of the increase was due to the growth of our promoted products and the purchasing patterns of certain products including Ambisome® deliveries to the MOH which were $14,115 higher in Q1-26 compared to Q1-25. Excluding the sales of Ambisome® to the MOH, our promoted portfolio grew by $27,192 or 60%.

The Company categorizes its revenues by product portfolio, as defined as follows:

Promoted - Launched Pipeline Products: Promoted products currently in the early stage of launch, typically having been introduced to the market within the past five years.

Promoted - Strategic Products: Promoted products that have reached, or are approaching, their peak potential, typically having been introduced to the market over five years ago.

1 Comparative figures have been reclassified to align with the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 reporting presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on total revenues.

Promoted Portfolio: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Promoted Portfolio increased by $41,517 or 72%. Excluding IAS 291, the Promoted Portfolio increased by $41,307 or 72%. The Launched Pipeline Products grew by $12,863 or 522%. Since January 2024, Knight has launched multiple products in multiple countries, including Minjuvi® for DLBCL in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, Minjuvi® for FL in Brazil, Pemazyre® in Brazil and Mexico, Bapocil® in Colombia, and Imvexxy®, Bijuva®, Jornay PM®, Xcopri®, Myfembree® and Orgovyx® in Canada.The Strategic Products increased by $28,444 or 51% driven by growth of the portfolio, as well as purchasing patterns including the MOH purchases of Ambisome® which were $14,115 higher in Q1-26 compared to Q1-25. Excluding the MOH purchases of Ambisome®, the Strategic Products grew by $14,329 or 34%. Mature Portfolio: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the increase in the Mature portfolio was driven by incremental revenues from the Paladin and Sumitomo portfolios.Discontinued: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Discontinued portfolio revenues increased $1,639 or 314%. The increase is due to certain agreements executed with two partners to return the Canadian commercial rights of six non core products in exchange for $21,500.

Gross margin: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, gross margin was $69,109 or 47% compared to $34,866 or 40% in Q1-25. Excluding the Hyperinflation Impact1, the Adjusted Gross Margin2 was $70,648 in Q1-26, an increase of $29,714 compared to Q1-25, due to the growth of revenues. The Adjusted Gross Margin2 as a % of Adjusted Revenues2, was 48% in Q1-26 compared to 47% in Q1-25. The increase was driven by the higher contribution of the Canadian business in Q1-26 compared to Q1-25, which generates a higher Adjusted Gross Margin2 as a % of Adjusted Revenues2, partly offset by product mix including a higher proportion of Ambisome® deliveries to the MOH.

Selling and marketing (“S&M”) expenses: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, S&M expenses increased by $6,397 or 46%. The increase was mainly driven by an expansion in our sales and commercial structure to support the Paladin portfolio, the recent launches in the Sumitomo portfolio and Jornay PM®, as well as the launch of Minjuvi® in Mexico. In addition to structure, the increase also included our promotion and marketing expenses for the brands acquired in the Paladin and Sumitomo portfolios including Orgovyx®, Myfembree®, Xcopri® and Envarsus®PA, as well as for the recently launched brands including Jornay PM® in Canada, Minjuvi® in Mexico and Argentina, Pemazyre® in Mexico and Brazil, and pre-launch activities including Tavalisse® in Mexico and Brazil.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, G&A expenses increased by $1,908 or 16%. The increase was mainly due to an increase in our structure due to the addition of the Paladin and Sumitomo portfolios and higher spending on professional and consulting fees.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses: For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, R&D expenses increased by $4,624 or 97%.

In addition to structure, the increase included incremental medical, regulatory, and pharmacovigilance spend on the Paladin and Sumitomo portfolios, as well as development, regulatory, pre‑launch, and launch expenses on our pipeline and new launches, including Niktimvo®, Minjuvi®, Jornay PM®, Pemazyre®, Crexont® and Tavalisse®.

Net Income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the net income was $13,169 compared to $2,185 for the same period in prior year. The variance was mainly driven by the above-mentioned items, as well as changes in amortization of intangible assets, net loss on financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, foreign exchange gain, gain on hyperinflation, interest income or expense, and income tax expense.

1 A positive variance represents a positive impact to net assets and a negative variance represents a negative impact to net assets.2 Percentage change is presented in absolute values.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities: As at March 31, 2026, Knight had $127,290 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, an increase of $32,007 or 34%, compared to December 31, 2025. The increase is mainly driven by operating cash inflows of $40,694 and proceeds of $17,000 from the return of the Canadian commercial rights for certain non-core products. These increases were partly offset by principal repayments of bank loans of $11,329, the repurchase of common shares under the NCIB of $8,237, investment in intangible assets of $4,152, and the acquisition of a manufacturing facility in Argentina of $2,950.

Trade and other receivables: As at March 31, 2026, trade and other receivables were $196,343, an increase of $17,745 or 10%, compared to December 31, 2025, due to the growth across our portfolio including the timing of deliveries of Ambisome® to the MOH, as well as the receivable of $4,500 remaining under the Settlement Agreements. The amount is expected to be collected in H2-26.

Inventories: As at March 31, 2026, inventories were $141,918, an increase of $6,052 or 4%, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to the timing of purchases and foreign exchange revaluation, partly offset by sales during the period.

Financial assets: As at March 31, 2026, financial assets were $94,717, a decrease of $3,713 or 4%, compared to December 31, 2025. This decrease was driven by a decrease in equity investments of $3,055 mainly due to the revaluation of our publicly traded equity investments and the disposal of certain equities during the period, as well as a decrease in fund investments of $658, which included a decrease in fair value of $350 and a return of capital of $308.

Intangible assets: As at March 31, 2026, intangible assets were $354,037, a decrease of $25,473 or 7%, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to the derecognition of intangible assets in connection with the Settlement Agreements, as well as amortization, partly offset by the appreciation of USD vs CAD.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities: As at March 31, 2026, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were $153,114, an increase of $27,359 or 22%, compared to December 31, 2025, mainly driven by the timing of purchases of inventory.

Bank Loans: As at March 31, 2026, bank loans were $58,639, a decrease of $9,256 or 14%, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily driven by the repayment of $10,000 on the revolving credit facility.

Corporate Updates

Revolving Credit Facility

In June 2025, the Company withdrew $60,000 from the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the Paladin Transaction. To date, Knight has repaid $40,000 of the credit facility through the use of the free cash flows generated from operations. The principal balance was repaid as follows: (1) $20,000 in December 2025, (2) $10,000 in February 2026, and (3) $10,000 in April 2026, resulting in an outstanding balance of $20,000.

In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement of the Paladin Transaction, as a final and full settlement, Knight paid $8,442 in April 2026 of the Settlement Agreement holdback to Paladin.

Minjuvi® (tafasitamab)

In Q1-26, Knight obtained regulatory approval and launched the supplemental indication of Minjuvi® in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated FL in Brazil. In addition, Knight filed supplemental applications for this second indication in Argentina and Mexico in Q1-26.

Niktimvo® (axatilimab)

In April 2026, Knight launched Akynzeo® in Paraguay in combination with dexamethasone, for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with moderately to highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Bapocil® (palbociclib)

In Q1-26, Knight obtained regulatory approval and launched Bapocil® in Colombia. Bapocil®, in combination with endocrine therapy, is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic or advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2-negative, in combination with: an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy, in post-menopausal women; or with fulvestrant, in patients with disease progression after endocrine therapy.

Qelbree® (viloxazine)

Subsequent to quarter-end, Knight withdrew the Health Canada New Drug Submission for Qelbree® due to certain manufacturing changes by our partner. Knight expects to resubmit Qelbree® for approval at a later date. The submission is expected to include both the data required for the manufacturing changes as well as the additional information previously requested by Health Canada in the Notice of Non-Compliance issued in Q4-25.

____________________________________

1 For certain products, revenues include $3,247 generated by Paladin Pharma Inc. between January 1 and June 17, 2025.

Financial Outlook1

For fiscal 2026, Knight has increased its financial guidance on revenues and now expects to generate between $510 million to $525 million in revenues, up from $490 million to $510 million. The adjusted EBITDA2 is expected to be approximately 15% of revenues. The increase in our revenues outlook is primarily due to better performance of our promoted products across multiple countries including Canada, Mexico and Colombia as well as an improvement in forecasted LATAM currencies against the Canadian dollar. The guidance is based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to the following:

no material impact on revenues due to the application of hyperinflation accounting for Argentinano revenues for business development transactions not completed as at May 6, 2026no unforeseen termination to our license, distribution and supply agreementsno interruptions in supply whether due to global supply chain disruptions or general manufacturing issuesno material impact from changes in tariffs, trade barriers, or custom dutiesno material adverse impact from wars, armed conflicts, or geopolitical hostilitiesno new generic entrants on our key pharmaceutical brandsno unforeseen changes to government mandated pricing regulationssuccessful commercial execution on product listing arrangements with HMOs, insurers, key accounts, and public payerssuccessful execution and uptake of newly launched productsno material increase in provisions for inventory or trade receivablesno significant variations of forecasted foreign currency exchange ratesinflation remaining within forecasted ranges

Should any of the assumptions differ, the financial outlook and the actual results may vary materially. Refer to the risks and assumptions referred to in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this news release for further details.

HYPERINFLATION

The Company applies IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, as the Company’s Argentine subsidiary uses the Argentine Peso as its functional currency. IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted based on an appropriate general price index to reflect the effects of inflation. After applying for the effects of hyperinflation, the statement of income (loss) is converted using the closing foreign exchange rate of the month.

Revenues and operating expenses in the local currency, i.e. ARS, are restated from the month of the sales or the month in which the expense was incurred to the end of the reporting period using the inflation index during that period. The restatement calculation is performed on a year to date basis based on IAS 29 (“Inflation Adjusted Figures”). For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company applied the following inflation index for the restatement of each respective month.

 JanuaryFebruaryMarch20261.061.031.0020251.061.041.00    

Under IAS 29, the translation from the local currency, to the reporting currency is performed on the Inflation Adjusted Figures using the end of period rate at the reporting date. The Inflation Adjusted Figures were converted to CAD using the following quarter-end closing rates for each of the respective periods.

 Q1-26Q1-25Q4-25Q4-24ARS9997461,059717
 Q1-26Q1-25ARS Variation %16%(4)%

1 Appreciation (depreciation) of ARS vs CAD during each period, calculated as follows: (End of period rate - Beginning of period rate) / Beginning of period rate.

In Q1‑26, Argentina experienced both inflation and an appreciation of the ARS, resulting in higher amounts when restated into CAD. For example, revenues generated and operating expenses incurred in January 2026 were restated by applying an inflation index of 6% while the ARS appreciated by 6% against the CAD during the same period. As a result, revenues and operating expenses reported under IAS 29 were higher in CAD.

By contrast, in Q1‑25, although inflation was at a level comparable to that of Q1‑26, the ARS depreciated at a similar rate. Consequently, the impact of the hyperinflation adjustments on revenues and operating expenses was not significant when reported under IAS 29 in CAD. Therefore, the hyperinflation accounting under IAS 29 resulted in higher reported revenues and operating expenses for the Company’s subsidiary in Argentina in CAD in Q1-26 when compared to the same period in prior year (“Hyperinflation Impact”).

Under hyperinflation accounting, cost of goods sold in the local currency, i.e. ARS, is restated using the inflation index from the purchase or manufacturing date to the end of the reporting period and converted to CAD using the respective quarter-end closing rates. In Q1-26, the cumulative inflation index applied on the inventory sold was lower than the prior year period, leading to lower cost of goods sold reported under IAS 29 in CAD and consequently a higher gross margin in Q1-26 compared to the same period in prior year.

FINANCIAL RESULTS UNDER NON-GAAP MEASURES

[In thousands of Canadian dollars]

The Company discloses non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. The Company believes that shareholders, investment analysts and other readers find such measures helpful in understanding the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures and adjusted EBITDA per share ratio do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not have been calculated in the same way as similarly named financial measures presented by other companies. The Company uses the following non-GAAP measures.

[i] Financial results excluding the impacts of hyperinflation under IAS 29

The Company applies IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflation Economies, as the Company’s Argentine subsidiary uses the Argentine Peso as their functional currency. IAS 29 requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted based on an appropriate general price index to express the effects of inflation.

Financial results under IFRS are adjusted to remove the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29. The impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29 is calculated by applying an appropriate general price index to express the effects of inflation. After applying the effects of translation, the statement of income is converted using the closing foreign exchange rate of the month.

The Company believes that financial results excluding the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29 represents a useful measure to investors as they allow results to be viewed without those impacts, thereby facilitating the comparison of results period over period. The presentation of financial results excluding the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29 is considered to be a non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP.

[ii] Financial results at constant currency

Financial results at constant currency are obtained by translating the prior period revenues and financial results from the functional currencies to CAD using the conversion rates in effect during the current period. Furthermore, with respect to Argentina, the Company excludes the impact of hyperinflation and translates the revenues and results at the average exchange rate in effect for each of the periods.

The Company believes that financial results at constant currency represents a useful measure to investors because it eliminates the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets and therefore, provides greater transparency to the underlying performance of our consolidated financial results. The presentation of revenues and financial results under constant currency is considered to be a non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

[iv] EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as operating income or loss adjusted to exclude amortization and impairment of non-current assets, depreciation, but to include costs related to leases.

The Company believes that EBITDA represents a useful measure to investors to assess profitability and measure the Company’s ability to generate liquidity through operating activities. The presentation of EBITDA is considered to be a non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

[v] Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of IAS 29 (accounting under hyperinflation), acquisition and transaction costs and non-recurring expenses. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA represents a useful measure to investors to assess profitability and measure the Company’s ability to generate liquidity through operating activities. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA is considered to be a non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP. As a result, the information presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

[vi] Adjusted EBITDA per share

Adjusted EBITDA per share is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the respective period. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA per share represents a useful measure to investors to assess profitability and measure the Company’s ability to generate liquidity through operating activities on a per common share basis, without the impact of hyperinflation under IAS 29, acquisition and transaction costs and non-recurring expenses, thereby facilitating the comparison period over period. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA per share is considered to be a non-GAAP ratio and does not have any standardized meaning under GAAP.
