Analysis
Citius Oncology reported preliminary commercial operating indicators rather than complete financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter ended September 30, 2026. LYMPHIR units purchased by U.S. wholesalers were 792 units, compared with 360 units for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 120%. This sequential increase followed nationwide coverage by the expanded commercial team in August and indicates substantially higher wholesaler purchasing in the quarter.
Institutional demand also continued to broaden. Prescribing centers ordered 950 LYMPHIR vials from wholesalers during the fiscal fourth quarter, compared with 926 for the fiscal third quarter. As of the release date, 54 institutions had ordered LYMPHIR, compared with 44 as of August 14, 2026. Management is targeting formulary placement at 100 priority institutions by calendar year-end, making the pace of institutional additions and formulary progress central commercial indicators.
The filing distinguishes the demand metrics from reported revenue. Revenue is recognized when wholesaler orders are fulfilled and is based on LYMPHIR units sold to wholesalers, net of estimated gross-to-net adjustments, rather than institutional vial orders. Accordingly, the reported increase in vial orders and wholesaler unit purchases does not provide a reported revenue figure, gross margin, operating expense, loss, earnings per share, or cash-flow result for the period.
The update remains preliminary and unaudited and is subject to year-end closing procedures and the audit of fiscal 2026 financial statements. Management also notes that quarterly shipments may fluctuate with wholesaler purchasing patterns and inventory levels. The Company expects to report complete fiscal fourth-quarter and fiscal year 2026 results in December 2026 with its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The release identifies substantial additional funding needs, the ability to fund operations for at least the next 12 months as a going concern, and Nasdaq listing compliance as risks alongside commercialization execution.
Management, verbatim
The fiscal fourth quarter showed continued institutional demand for LYMPHIR. Unit sales to wholesalers more than doubled as our expanded commercial team reached nationwide coverage in August.
Leonard Mazur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citius Oncology
We are now more than halfway to our goal of having LYMPHIR on formulary at 100 priority institutions by calendar year-end.

As we enter fiscal 2027, we expect the momentum we built in the fourth quarter to carry forward, with growing institutional demand, deeper penetration into academic and community treatment centers, and continued sales growth as LYMPHIR becomes further established in CTCL.
