(Nasdaq: CTOR) (“Citius Oncology”) and NoveCite, Inc., taken as a whole.

Mino-Lok® is our registered trademark and LYMPHIR^TM (denileukin diftitox) is a registered trademark of Citius Oncology. All other trade names, trademarks and service marks appearing in this quarterly report are the property of their respective owners. We have assumed that the reader understands that all such terms are source-indicating.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in this Report and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to:

	●	our independent registered public accounting firm’s report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;

	●	our need for substantial additional funds and our ability to raise those funds;

	●	our ongoing evaluation of strategic alternatives;

	●	our ability to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”);

	●	the ability of Citius Oncology to commercialize LYMPHIR, including covering the costs of licensing payments, product manufacturing and other third-party goods and services;

	●	our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the August 2024 reverse merger whereby Citius Oncology became a standalone publicly-traded company and our majority-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”), which may not be realized fully, if at all, or may take longer to realize than expected;

	●	our ability to obtain regulatory approval for and successfully commercialize Mino-Lok;

	●	the cost, timing, and results of our pre-clinical and clinical trials for our other product candidates;

	●	our ability to apply for, obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals for our other product candidates;

	●	the estimated markets for LYMPHIR, Mino-Lok or any of our future product candidates and the acceptance thereof by any market;

	●	our ability to obtain, perform under and maintain financing and strategic agreements and relationships;

	●	the commercial feasibility and success of our technology and our product candidates;

	●	our ability to recruit and retain qualified management and technical personnel to carry out our operations; and

	●	the other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025, as amended on January 28, 2026.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the filing date of this Report.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024

(Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Citius Pharma,” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of first-in-class critical care products with a focus on oncology, anti-infectives in adjunct cancer care, unique prescription products and stem cell therapies.

On March 30, 2016, Citius Pharma acquired Leonard-Meron Biosciences, Inc. (“LMB”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary. We acquired all the outstanding stock of LMB by issuing shares of our common stock. The net assets acquired included identifiable intangible assets of $19,400,000 related to in-process research and development. We recorded goodwill of $9,346,796 for the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired.

On September 11, 2020, we formed NoveCite, Inc. (“NoveCite”), a Delaware corporation, of which we own 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock (see Note 7).

On August 23, 2021, we formed Citius Oncology, Inc. (“Citius Oncology”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary in conjunction with the acquisition of LYMPHIR, which began operations in April 2022. On August 12, 2024, Citius Pharma and Citius Oncology entered into a merger agreement with TenX Keane Acquisition, and its wholly owned subsidiary, TenX Merger Sub Inc (“Merger Sub”), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Citius Oncology. After the merger and recapitalization (the “Merger”), the newly combined publicly traded company was owned 92.3% by Citius Pharma, and is named “Citius Oncology, Inc.” (Nasdaq: CTOR). As of December 31, 2025, Citius Pharma owned 78% of Citius Oncology.

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all our efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, and raising capital. We are subject to a number of risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing, risks related to the development by the Company or its competitors of research and development stage products, regulatory approval and market acceptance of its products, competition from larger companies, dependence on key personnel, dependence on key suppliers and strategic partners and the Company’s compliance with governmental and other regulations.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary LMB and its majority-owned subsidiaries NoveCite and Citius Oncology. On August 12, 2024, Citius Oncology, previously a wholly-owned subsidiary, became a majority-owned subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025, Citius Oncology was approximately a 78% majority-owned subsidiary.

The operations of NoveCite and Citius Oncology are included in the consolidated results. The portion of equity that is not attributable to the Company is presented as a non-controlling interest within stockholders’ equity. Unless excluded by shareholder agreements, the portion of net loss attributable to non-controlling interests is included in the statement of operations. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2026. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 23, 2025, as amended on January 28, 2026.

Use of Estimates - The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates having relatively higher significance include the accounting for revenue recognition, in-process research and development, stock-based compensation, net realizable value of inventory and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and changes in estimates may occur.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share - Basic and diluted net loss per common share applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders in each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. For the periods presented, common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options and warrants, were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive, with pre-funded warrants being included in the loss per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Other than as disclosed in our Form 10-K, we are not aware of any other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that may have a material impact on our financial statements.

2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred a net loss of $9,393,889 for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The Company experienced negative cash flows from operations of $13,008,822 for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The Company had a negative working capital of approximately $262,000 at December 31, 2025.

The Company estimates that its available cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations through May 2026. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our operations beyond May 2026, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company is currently engaged in capital raising initiatives, as well as separate capital raising initiatives through its approximately 78% owned subsidiary Citius Oncology, in an effort to extend its cash runway. Citius Oncology also has retained Jefferies LLC as its exclusive financial advisor in evaluating strategic alternatives aimed at maximizing shareholder value.

The Company has generated limited operating revenue, which commenced in December 2025, and has principally raised capital through the issuance of debt and equity instruments to finance its operations. However, the Company’s continued operations beyond May 2026, including its development plans for Mino-Lok, Halo-Lido and NoveCite, will depend on its ability to obtain regulatory approval for Mino-Lok and generate substantial revenue from the sale of LYMPHIR and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, strategic relationships, or out-licensing of its product candidates. However, the Company can provide no assurances on regulatory approval, commercialization, or future sales of LYMPHIR or that financing or strategic relationships will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, find strategic partners or generate substantial revenue from the sale of LYMPHIR, there would be a material adverse effect on its business. Further, the Company expects in the future to incur additional expenses as it continues to develop its product candidates, including seeking regulatory approval, and protecting its intellectual property. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the above uncertainty.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In determining the appropriate amount and timing of revenue to be recognized under this guidance, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with our customer; (ii) identify the promised goods or services in the agreement and determine whether they are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the agreement; (iii) measure the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations based on stand-alone selling prices; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We distribute LYMPHIR in the U.S. through third party specialty distributors who are our customers. The third-party specialty distributors subsequently resell our product to health care providers, hospitals and infusion centers. Separately, we have or may enter into payment arrangements with various third-party’s including government healthcare programs who provide coverage and or reimbursement for our product that have been prescribed to a patient.

We recognize net revenue from LYMPHIR sales, net of variable consideration and consideration payable to parties other than our customers consisting of estimates related to allowances for sales returns, government chargebacks, patient coupon programs, and specialty distributor fees. Revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.

We estimate variable consideration using the expected value method, constrained to amounts for which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur when uncertainties are resolved. Calculating certain of these items involves estimates and judgments based on sales or invoice data, contractual terms, historical or expected utilization rates, new information regarding changes in applicable regulations and guidelines that would impact the amount of the actual allowance and our expectations regarding future utilization rates and channel inventory data. We will review the adequacy of our provisions for all gross-to-net adjustments on a quarterly basis. Amounts reserved for these adjustments are made when trends or significant events indicate that adjustment is appropriate reflecting actual experience.

The Company elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not assess whether a significant financing component exists for contracts in which payment is expected within one year. No other practical expedients were applied.

Gross-to-Net Adjustments

Specialty Distributor Fees

We pay fees for distribution services, such as fees for certain data that customers provide us. We expect our customers will earn these fees and accordingly deduct these fees from gross product sales and accounts receivable at the time we recognize the related revenues.

Product Returns

Customers have the right to return products if they are damaged, defective, or expired, or as it is defined in their customer agreement. We have estimated product returns based on the experience of similar products in the market, and will continue to estimate returns based on our actual returns, sales data, and inventory levels in the distribution channel. These estimates are recorded as a reduction against gross product sales at the time of the sales.

Chargebacks

Chargebacks will occur when federal agencies who we contract with, or may contract with, can purchase off the Federal Supply Schedule or when Public Health Service 340B covered entities purchase directly from our customers at discounted prices. Our customers then charge us the difference between their purchase price and the discounted price. We estimate chargebacks considering the terms of the applicable arrangement and our visibility regarding utilization. These chargebacks are recorded in the same period as the related revenue, as a reduction against gross product sales and accounts receivable.

Co-payment Assistance

We offer co-payment assistance to patients with commercial insurance that have coverage and are allowed such co-payment assistance. We estimate the average co-payment assistance amounts for our products based on expected customer utilization and record any such amounts as a reduction from gross product revenue at the time of sale. The Company has deposited the estimated co-pay assistance reflected and included in the gross-to-net adjustments.

	Three Months Ended
	December 31, 2025
Gross Product Revenue	$	4,878,720
Gross-to-net adjustments:		934,609
Net Revenue	$	3,944,111

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable, net is stated at amounts invoiced less allowances for distributor fees, chargebacks, and estimated returns. At December 31, 2025, these sales allowances totaled $829,609. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance reflects our current estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the life of the receivable. In developing our allowance for expected credit losses, we use assumptions to capture the risk of loss, even if remote, based on a number of factors including existing contractual payment terms, individual customer circumstances, historical payment patterns of our customers, a review of the local economic environment and its potential impact on expected future customer payment patterns. Our collection risk is mitigated to a certain extent by the fact that sales are collected in a reasonable period of time, allowing for the ability to reduce exposure on defaults if collection issues are identified. We update our allowance as necessary to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining accounts receivable that are past due. We do not currently expect our current or future exposures to credit losses to have a significant impact on us. The estimated allowance for expected credit losses was $0 as of December 31, 2025.

4. INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of actual accumulated costs or net realizable value related to the manufacturing of LYMPHIR commercial products, which became available for sale in December 2025. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. No reserves against inventory were deemed necessary based on an evaluation of the product expiration dating.

7. PATENT AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENTS

Patent and Technology License Agreement – Mino-Lok

LMB has a patent and technology license agreement with Novel Anti-Infective Therapeutics, Inc. (“NAT”) to develop and commercialize Mino-Lok® on an exclusive, worldwide sub-licensable basis, as amended. LMB pays an annual maintenance fee each June until commercial sales of a product subject to the license commence. The Company recorded an annual maintenance fee expense of $90,000 in both 2025 and 2024.

LMB will also pay annual royalties on net sales of licensed products, with a low double digit royalty rate (within a range of 10% to 15%). In limited circumstances in which the licensed product is not subject to a valid patent claim and a competitor is selling a competing product, the royalty rate is in the low- to mid-single digits (within a range of 2% to 7%). After a commercial sale is obtained, LMB must pay minimum aggregate annual royalties of $100,000 in the first commercial year which is prorated for a less than 12-month period, increasing $25,000 per year to a maximum of $150,000 annually. LMB must also pay NAT up to $1,100,000 upon achieving specified regulatory and sales milestones. Finally, LMB must pay NAT a specified percentage of payments received from any sub-licensees.

Unless earlier terminated by NAT, based on the failure to achieve certain development and commercial milestones, the license agreement remains in effect until the date that all patents licensed under the agreement have expired and all patent applications within the licensed patent rights have been cancelled, withdrawn, or expressly abandoned.

License Agreement with Eterna

On October 6, 2020, our subsidiary, NoveCite, entered into a license agreement with Novellus Therapeutics Limited (“Novellus”), whereby NoveCite acquired an exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, develop and commercialize a stem cell therapy based on the Novellus’s patented technology for the treatment of acute pneumonitis of any etiology in which inflammation is a major agent in humans. Upon execution of the license agreement, we paid $5,000,000 to Novellus, which was charged to research and development expense during the year ended September 30, 2021, and issued to Novellus shares of NoveCite’s common stock representing 25% of the outstanding equity. We own the other 75% of NoveCite’s outstanding equity. Pursuant to the terms of the original stock subscription agreement, if NoveCite issued additional equity, subject to certain exceptions, NoveCite had to maintain Novellus’s ownership at 25% by issuing additional shares to Novellus.

In July 2021, Novellus was acquired by Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics, Inc. (“Brooklyn”). Pursuant to this transaction, the NoveCite license was assumed by Brooklyn with all original terms and conditions. In connection with that transaction, the stock subscription agreement was amended to assign to Brooklyn all of Novellus’s right, title, and interest in the stock subscription agreement and delete the anti-dilution protection and replace it with a right of first refusal whereby Brooklyn will have the right to purchase all or a portion of the securities that NoveCite intends to sell or in the alternative, at the option of NoveCite, Brooklyn may purchase that amount of the securities proposed to be sold by NoveCite to allow Brooklyn to maintain its then percentage ownership. In October 2022, Brooklyn changed its name to Eterna Therapeutics Inc. (“Eterna”).

We are responsible for the operational activities of NoveCite and bear all costs necessary to operate NoveCite. Our officers are also the officers of NoveCite and oversee the business strategy and operations of NoveCite. As such, NoveCite is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary with a noncontrolling interest.

Eterna has no contractual rights in the profits or obligations to share in the losses of NoveCite, and the Company has not allocated any losses to the noncontrolling interest.

Under the license agreement, NoveCite is obligated to pay Eterna up to an aggregate of $51,000,000 in regulatory and developmental milestone payments. NoveCite also must pay a royalty equal to a mid-teens percentage of net sales, commencing upon the first commercial sale of a licensed product. This royalty is subject to downward adjustment on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis to a mid-single digit percentage (within a range of 4% to 8%) of net sales in any country in the event of the expiration of the last valid patent claim or if no valid patent claim exists in that country. The royalty will end on the earlier of (i) date on which a biosimilar product is first marketed, sold, or distributed by Eterna or any third party in the applicable country or (ii) the 10-year anniversary of the date of expiration of the last-to-expire valid patent claim in that country. In the case of a country where no licensed patent ever exists, the royalty will end on the later of (i) the date of expiry of such licensed product’s regulatory exclusivity and (ii) the 10-year anniversary of the date of the first commercial sale of the licensed product in the applicable country. In addition, NoveCite will pay to Eterna an amount equal to a mid-twenties percentage of any sublicensee fees it receives.

Under the terms of the license agreement, in the event that Eterna receives any revenue involving the original cell line included in the licensed technology, then Eterna shall remit to NoveCite 50% of such revenue.

The term of the license agreement continues on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire royalty term. Either party may terminate the license agreement upon written notice if the other party is in material default. NoveCite may terminate the license agreement at any time without cause upon 90 days prior written notice.

Eterna will be responsible for preparing, filing, prosecuting, and maintaining all patent applications and patents included in the licensed patents in the territory, provided however, that if Eterna decides that it is not interested in maintaining a particular licensed patent or in preparing, filing, or prosecuting a licensed patent, NoveCite will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume such responsibilities in the territory at NoveCite’s sole cost and expense.

License Agreement with Eisai

In September 2021, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories SA, a subsidiary of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. (collectively, “Dr. Reddy’s”) and a license agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. (“Eisai”) to acquire an exclusive license of E7777 (denileukin diftitox), an oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We renamed E7777 as I/ONTAK and also obtained the trade name of LYMPHIR^TM for the product. We assigned these agreements to Citius Oncology effective April 1, 2022 and we received a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) approval from the FDA for LYMPHIR in August 2024.

Under the terms of these agreements, we acquired Dr. Reddy’s exclusive license of E7777 from Eisai and other related assets owned by Dr. Reddy’s (which are now owned by Citius Oncology). The exclusive license include rights to develop and commercialize E7777 in all markets except for Japan and certain parts of Asia. Eisai retains exclusive development and marketing rights for the agent in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Mongolia, and Papua New Guinea. We paid Dr. Reddy’s a $40 million upfront payment, which represents the acquisition date fair value of the in-process research and development acquired from Dr. Reddy’s. Dr. Reddy’s is entitled to up to $40 million in development milestone payments related to CTCL approvals in the U.S. and other markets, up to $70 million in development milestones for additional indications, as well as commercial milestone payments and low double-digit tiered royalties on net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%), and up to $300 million for commercial sales milestones. Citius Oncology also must pay on a fiscal quarter basis tiered royalties equal to low double-digit percentages of net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%). The royalties will end on the earlier of (i) the 15-year anniversary of the first commercial sale of the latest indication that received regulatory approval in the applicable country and (ii) the date on which a biosimilar product results in the reduction of net sales in the applicable product by 50% in two consecutive quarters, as compared to the four quarters prior to the first commercial sale of the biosimilar product. Citius Oncology will also pay to Dr. Reddy’s an amount equal to a low-thirties percentage of any sublicense upfront consideration or milestone payments (or the like) received by us and the greater of (i) a low-thirties percentage of any sublicensee sales-based royalties or (ii) a mid-single digit percentage of such licensee’s net sales. Citius Pharma is a guarantor of Citius Oncology’s payment obligations under these agreements.

At the time of the FDA approval for LYMPHIR, a $27.5 million milestone payment became payable to Dr. Reddy’s under the terms of the asset purchase agreement for which a balance of $18,250,000 remains due as of December 31, 2025. Dr. Reddy’s agreed to a partial deferral without penalty of this milestone payment.

Under the license agreement, Eisai was due a $5.9 million milestone payment upon FDA approval, and additional commercial milestone payments related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds and an aggregate of up to $22 million related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds. Citius Oncology was also required to reimburse Eisai for up to $2.65 million of its costs to complete the Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for LYMPHIR for the CTCL indication and reimburse Eisai for all reasonable costs associated with the preparation of a BLA for LYMPHIR. Eisai was responsible for completing the CTCL clinical trial, and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (“CMC”) activities through the filing of the BLA for LYMPHIR with the FDA. We are responsible for development costs associated with potential additional indications.

On March 28, 2025, Citius Oncology and Eisai entered into a letter agreement that amended the license agreement to provide for a payment schedule to Eisai for the milestone payment and certain unpaid invoices. We agreed to pay Eisai $2,535,318 on July 15, 2025, $2,350,000 on the 15^th of each of the subsequent four months, and make a final payment of $2,197,892 on or before December 15, 2025, in each case with interest on each obligation from its original due date through the date of payment at the rate of 2% per annum. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $45,841 in interest expense under the agreement. The parties released each other from any and all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses that arise from or related to our failure to pay the milestone payment or the other incurred costs under the license agreement except for any claims arising out of a breach of the letter agreement. All other terms of the license agreement remain in full force and effect. On December 15, 2025, we paid Eisai the balance of the outstanding milestone approval fee and accumulated interest on the license fee. At December 31, 2025, we owe Eisai for other unpaid invoices, consisting of $2,700,000 of accounts payable and $4,062,481 of accrued expenses.

The term of the license agreement will continue until (i) March 30, 2026, if there has not been a commercial sale of a licensed product in the territory, or (ii) if there has been a first commercial sale of a licensed product in the territory by March 30, 2026, the 10-year anniversary of the first commercial sale on a country-by-country basis. The first commercial sale occurred in December 2025. The term of the license may be extended for additional 10-year periods for all countries in the territory by notifying Eisai and paying an extension fee equal to $10 million. Either party may terminate the license agreement upon written notice if the other party is in material breach of the agreement, subject to cure within the designated time periods. Either party also may terminate the license agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party files for bankruptcy or takes related actions or is unable to pay its debts as they become due. Additionally, either party will have the right to terminate the agreement if the other party directly or indirectly challenges the patentability, enforceability or validity of any licensed patent.

Under the purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s, we are required to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make commercially available products in the CTCL indication, peripheral T-cell lymphoma indication and immuno-oncology indication, (ii) initiate two investigator initiated immuno-oncology trials (both of which have been initiated), (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve each of the approval milestones, and (iv) complete each specified immuno-oncology investigator trial on or before the four-year anniversary of the effective date of the definitive agreement. Additionally, we are required to commercially launch a product in a territory within six months of receiving regulatory approval for such product in each such jurisdiction; though approved in August 2024, Dr. Reddy’s waived the six-month requirement and the launch of LYMPHIR in December 2025 satisfied this requirement in the U.S.

As part of the definitive agreement with Dr. Reddy’s, Citius Pharma acquired method of use patents in which LYMPHIR is administered in combination with the programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1”) pathway inhibitor drug class. PD-1 plays a vital role in inhibiting immune responses and promoting self-tolerance through modulating the activity of T-cells, activating apoptosis of antigen-specific T cells and inhibiting apoptosis of regulatory T cells.

The following patents were acquired and subsequently transferred to us:

●

US Provisional Application No. 63/070,645, which was filed on August 26, 2020, and subsequently published as US 2022/0062390 A1 on March 3, 2022, entitled Methods of Treating Cancer.

●

International Patent Application Number: PCT/IB2021/0576733, which was filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization on August 23, 2021, and subsequently published as WO 2022/043863 A1 on March 3, 2022, entitled, Combination for Use in Methods of Treating Cancer.

8. NOTE PAYABLE

On June 2, 2025, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from an unrelated lender. The note payable was due in full on December 2, 2025 with interest at 15% compounded monthly. Leonard Mazur (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company) personally guaranteed repayment of the note.

On December 2, 2025, we extended the due date to January 2, 2026 and the note was paid in full on January 5, 2026. As consideration for the extension, we issued a five-year warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at $1.26 per share. The $68,597 fair value of the warrant was charged to interest expense during the three months ended December 31, 2025. Interest expense, including the fair value of the warrant was $109,697 for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

9. COMMON STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS, AND WARRANTS

Authorized Common Stock and Reverse Stock Split

The Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to (i) effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and (ii) decrease the number of total authorized shares of common stock from 400,000,000 shares to 16,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split was intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of common stock for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The reverse stock split became effective on November 25, 2024, and the Company’s Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on November 26, 2024. All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split.

Series A Preferred Stock and Authorized Common Stock

On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Leonard Mazur (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company), pursuant to which the Company sold one share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share for $100 to Mr. Mazur. The Series A Preferred Stock was sold in connection with the June 9, 2025 special meeting of the stockholders for the purpose of approving an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock from 16,000,000 to 250,000,000. The Company’s stockholders approved the authorized share increase on June 9, 2025.

On April 17, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Nevada Secretary of State, designating the powers, rights, privileges and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock. The certificate provides that each share of Series A Preferred Stock had 1,000,000,000 votes and voted together with the outstanding shares of Common Stock as a single class, exclusively with respect to the authorized share increase proposal and was not entitled to vote on any other matter. The Series A Preferred Stock was voted on the authorized share increase in the same proportion as the aggregate votes cast by holders of common stock “for” and “against” the proposal. The Series A Preferred Stock otherwise had no other voting rights, including in respect of any other proposal. The voting power attributable to the Series A Preferred Stock was disregarded for purposes of determining whether a quorum was present at the special meeting, and the establishment of a quorum at the special meeting was determined only with reference to the common stock.

Pursuant to its terms, on June 9, 2025, the outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed automatically for $100 after the Company published the final results of the stockholder vote on the authorized stock increase.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease

Effective July 1, 2019, we entered into a 76-month lease for office space in Cranford, NJ. On February 28, 2025, we extended the lease until February 28, 2030. A right-of-use asset of $786,697 was recognized as a non-cash asset and liability on the lease amendment date. We pay our proportionate share of real estate taxes and operating expenses in excess of the base year expenses. These costs are variable lease payments and are not included in the determination of the lease’s right-of-use asset or lease liability.

We identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing our right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities:

●

As the Cranford lease does not provide an implicit rate, we estimated the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of the lease payments based on the remaining term as of the amendment date.

●

Since we elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single combined component, all contract consideration was allocated to the combined lease component.

●

The expected lease terms include noncancelable lease periods.

The elements of lease expense are as follows:

Lease cost	Three Months Ended December31, 2025			Three Months Ended December31, 2024
Operating lease cost	$	36,052		$	59,705
Variable lease cost		-			1,264

Business

We are a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of first-in-class critical care products. On September 12, 2014, we acquired Citius Pharmaceuticals, LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Citius Pharmaceuticals, LLC was dissolved on December 29, 2023.

On March 30, 2016, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Leonard-Meron Biosciences, Inc. by issuing shares of our common stock. We acquired identifiable intangible assets of $19,400,000 related to in-process research and development and recorded goodwill of $9,346,796 for the excess of the purchase consideration over the net assets acquired.

On September 11, 2020, we formed NoveCite, Inc., of which we own 75% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.

On August 23, 2021, we formed Citius Acquisition Corp., or SpinCo, as a wholly-owned subsidiary in conjunction with the acquisition of LYMPHIR, but Citius Acquisition did not begin operations until April 2022, when Citius Pharma transferred to it the assets related to LYMPHIR, including the related license agreement with Eisai and the related asset purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories SA, a subsidiary of Dr. Reddy’s. At this time, Citius Acquisition changed its name to Citius Oncology, Inc. In August 2024, as part of the merger, the new publicly-traded company and majority-owned subsidiary was named Citius Oncology, Inc.

In-process research and development of $19,400,000 represents the value of LMB’s leading drug candidate (Mino-Lok), which is an antibiotic solution used to treat catheter-related bloodstream infections and is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of eight years commencing upon revenue generation. Goodwill of $9,346,796 represents the value of LMB’s industry relationships and its assembled workforce. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested at least annually for impairment. In-process research and development of $73,400,000 represents the value of our exclusive license for LYMPHIR (denileukin diftitox), an oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period of market exclusivity commencing upon revenue generation in December 2025.

Through December 31, 2025, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to product development, raising capital, building infrastructure through strategic alliances and coordinating activities relating to our proprietary products. We have realized limited revenues from the sale of LYMPHIR, which commenced in December 2025.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective November 25, 2024, we executed a reverse stock split of our common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-25. All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split.

Patent and Technology License Agreements

Mino-Lok® - LMB has a patent and technology license agreement with Novel Anti-Infective Therapeutics, Inc. (“NAT”) to develop and commercialize Mino-Lok on an exclusive, worldwide sub-licensable basis, as amended. Since May 2014, LMB has paid an annual maintenance fee, which began at $30,000 and has increased over five years to $90,000, where it will remain until the commencement of commercial sales of a product subject to the license. LMB will also pay annual royalties on net sales of licensed products, with a low double digit royalty rate (within a range of 10% to 15%). In limited circumstances in which the licensed product is not subject to a valid patent claim and a competitor is selling a competing product, the royalty rate is in the low to mid-single digits (within a range of 2% to 7%). After a commercial sale is obtained, LMB must pay minimum aggregate annual royalties of $100,000 in the first commercial year which is prorated for a less-than-12-month period, increasing $25,000 per year to a maximum of $150,000 annually. LMB must also pay NAT up to $1,100,000 upon achieving specified regulatory and sales milestones. Finally, LMB must pay NAT a specified percentage of payments received from any sub-licensees.

NoveCite - On October 6, 2020, our subsidiary NoveCite entered into a license agreement with Novellus Therapeutics Limited, whereby NoveCite acquired an exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, to develop and commercialize a stem cell therapy based on Novellus’s patented technology for the treatment of acute pneumonitis of any etiology in which inflammation is a major agent in humans. Upon execution of the license agreement, NoveCite paid $5,000,000 to Novellus and issued Novellus shares of Novecite’s common stock representing 25% of NoveCite’s outstanding equity. We own the other 75% of NoveCite’s outstanding equity.

In July 2021, Novellus was acquired by Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics and the NoveCite license was assumed by Brooklyn with all original terms and conditions. In October 2021, Brooklyn changed its name to Eterna Therapeutics Inc. (“Eterna”).

As part of the Novellus and Brooklyn merger transaction, the 25% non-dilutive position per the subscription agreement between Novellus and NoveCite was removed.

LYMPHIR - In September 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s and a license agreement with Eisai to acquire an exclusive license of E7777 (denileukin diftitox), an oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Citius Pharma assigned these agreements to Citius Acquisition Corp. effective April 1, 2022. We renamed E7777 as I/ONTAK and also obtained the trade name LYMPHIR^TM for the product. Denileukin diftitox is referred to in this report as E7777, I/ONTAK or LYMPHIR, depending on the period of time and context that is being discussed.

Under the terms of these agreements, Citius Pharma acquired Dr. Reddy’s exclusive license of E7777 from Eisai and other related assets owned by Dr. Reddy’s (which are now owned by Citius Oncology). The exclusive license, through Citius Oncology, includes rights to develop and commercialize E7777 in all markets except for Japan and certain parts of Asia. Eisai retains exclusive development and marketing rights for the agent in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Mongolia, and Papua New Guinea. Citius Pharma paid Dr. Reddy’s a $40 million upfront payment which represents the acquisition date fair value of the in-process research and development acquired from Dr. Reddy’s. Dr. Reddy’s is entitled to up to $40 million in development milestone payments related to CTCL approvals in the U.S. and other markets, up to $70 million in development milestones for additional indications, as well as commercial milestone payments and low double-digit tiered royalties on net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%), and up to $300 million for commercial sales milestones. Citius Oncology also must pay on a fiscal quarter basis tiered royalties equal to low double-digit percentages of net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%). The royalties will end on the earlier of (i) the 15-year anniversary of the first commercial sale of the latest indication that received regulatory approval in the applicable country and (ii) the date on which a biosimilar product results in the reduction of net sales in the applicable product by 50% in two consecutive quarters, as compared to the four quarters prior to the first commercial sale of the biosimilar product. Citius Oncology will also pay Dr. Reddy’s an amount equal to a low-thirties percentage of any sublicense upfront consideration or milestone payments (or the like) received by us and the greater of (i) a low-thirties percentage of any sublicensee sales-based royalties or (ii) a mid-single digit percentage of such licensee’s net sales. Citius Pharma is a guarantor of Citius Oncology’s payment obligations under these agreements.

At the time of the FDA approval for LYMPHIR, a $27.5 million milestone payment became payable to Dr. Reddy’s under the terms of the asset purchase agreement for which a balance of $18.25 million remains due as of December 31, 2025. Dr. Reddy’s agreed to a partial deferral without penalty of this milestone payment.

Under the license agreement, Eisai was due a $5.9 million milestone payment, upon FDA approval, and additional commercial milestone payments related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds and an aggregate of up to $22 million related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds. We were also required to reimburse Eisai for up to $2.65 million of its costs to complete the Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for LYMPHIR for the CTCL indication and reimburse Eisai for all reasonable costs associated with the preparation of a BLA for LYMPHIR. Eisai was responsible for completing the CTCL clinical trial, and CMC activities through the filing of the BLA for LYMPHIR with the FDA. We are responsible for development costs associated with potential additional indications.

On March 28, 2025, Citius Oncology and Eisai entered into a letter agreement that amended the license agreement to provide for a payment schedule to Eisai for the milestone payment and certain unpaid invoices. We agreed to pay Eisai $2,535,318 on July 15, 2025, $2,350,000 on the 15^th of each of the subsequent four months, and make a final payment of $2,197,892 on or before December 15, 2025, in each case with interest on each obligation from its original due date through the date of payment at the rate of 2% per annum. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $45,841 in interest expense under the agreement. The parties released each other from any and all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses that arise from or related to our failure to pay the milestone payment or the other incurred costs under the license agreement except for any claims arising out of a breach of the letter agreement. All other terms of the license agreement remain in full force and effect. On December 15, 2025, we paid Eisai the balance of the outstanding milestone approval fee and accumulated interest on the license fee. At December 31, 2025, we owe Eisai approximately $6.8 million for certain other unpaid invoices.

Under the purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s, we are required to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make commercially available products in the CTCL indication, peripheral T-cell lymphoma indication and immuno-oncology indication, (ii) initiate two investigator initiated immuno-oncology trials (both of which have been initiated), (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve each of the approval milestones, and (iv) to complete each specified immuno-oncology investigator trial on or before the four-year anniversary of the effective date of the definitive agreement. Additionally, we are required to commercially launch a product in a territory within six months of receiving regulatory approval for such product in each such jurisdiction; though approved in August 2024, Dr. Reddy’s waived the six months requirement and the launch of LYMPHIR in December 2025 satisfied this requirement in the U.S.

Revenues

In 2025, the Company executed three service agreements with pharmaceutical specialty distributors who are our customers and who distribute LYMPHIR to healthcare organizations which include academic centers, community oncology practices, as well as infusion centers. The transaction price for gross product revenues under these customer specialty distributor agreements are based on the contractually stated wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”). The transaction price is reduced for variable considerations, including product returns, chargebacks, co-payment assistance, and other gross-to-net adjustments, which are reasonably estimated by the Company and constrained to amounts that are probable not to result in a significant revenue reversal. As LYMPHIR is a newly launched product, any reasonable estimates made by the Company regarding certain gross-to-net adjustments will result from certain information, such as inventory held by distributors, market data or comparable products, until sufficient historical data becomes available.

Net product revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $3,944,111, as we began commercial distribution of LYMPHIR in December 2025. Gross profit on net product revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was approximately 80%.

The Company believes that revenues will increase in the future as LYMPHIR gains market acceptance.

Research and Development Expenses

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, research and development expenses were $1,599,719, as compared to $2,127,038 during the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $527,319.

Research and development costs for Mino-Lok decreased by $304,186 to $80,830 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $385,016 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, due primarily to decreased costs since the completion of the Phase 3 trial as well as catheter validation and combination studies. In November 2024, the Company held a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss the results of the Phase 3 study and to obtain the FDA’s view on development plans for Mino-Lok. The FDA provided clear, constructive, and actionable guidance during the discussion, underscoring a pathway to support a future New Drug Application (NDA) submission for Mino-Lok.

Research and development costs for Halo-Lido decreased by $8,377 to $2,319 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $10,696 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The Phase 2 study was completed in April 2023. Citius subsequently met with the FDA for an end of Phase 2 meeting to discuss next steps in the clinical development program.

Research and development costs for LYMPHIR decreased by $217,945 to $1,509,595 during the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $1,727,540 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily related pre commercial manufacturing implementation services related to product labeling and serialization.

Amortization of in-process research and development

Amortization of in-process research and development commenced upon revenue generation in December 2025. For the three months ended December 31, 2025 amortization was $573,438. In-process research and development is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining FDA product exclusivity period which ends in August 2036.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses were $5,720,727, as compared to $5,387,752 during the three months ended December 31, 2024. General and administrative expenses increased by $332,975 in comparison with the prior period. Overall general and administrative expenses were consistent with the prior period. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, professional fees for legal, regulatory, accounting, and corporate development services, and investor relations expenses.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 stock-based compensation expense was $4,280,227, as compared to $2,524,824 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense includes $324,177 for Citius Pharma stock options, $2,252,035 for Citius Oncology stock options and $1,704,015 for Citius Oncology restricted stock awards for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Stock-based compensation expense includes $716,345 for Citius Pharma stock options and $1,808,479 for Citius Oncology stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense for the most recently completed quarter increased by $1,755,403 in comparison to the prior period primarily due to the Citius Oncology restricted stock awards granted in September 2025.

Interest Income (Expense)

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, interest income was $45,097, as compared to interest income of $22,608 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. We have invested the remaining proceeds of our equity offerings in money market accounts.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, interest expense was $155,538, as compared to $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, interest expense of $45,841 was related to the March 28, 2025 letter agreement with Eisai and interest expense on the note payable, including the fair value of the warrant issued to the lender was $109,697.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded deferred income tax expense of $264,240 for both the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 related to the amortization for taxable purposes of our in-process research and development asset.

Net Loss

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $9,393,889, as compared to a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024 of $10,281,246. The $887,357 decrease in net loss was primarily due to our gross profit on revenues of $3,154,903 offset by an increase of $2,134,497 in our total operating expenses, primarily related to the granting of restricted stock awards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Working Capital

We have incurred operating losses since inception and incurred a net loss of approximately $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $247 million. At December 31, 2025, we had $7.7 million in cash and a negative working capital of approximately $262,000. Our net cash used in operations during the three months ended December 31, 2025 was approximately $13 million. Our primary source of cash flow since inception has been from financing activities. We have had limited revenue from sales of LYMPHIR, which commenced in December 2025.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, Citius Pharma received net proceeds of approximately $5.8 million from equity offerings and Citius Oncology received approximately $15.1 million from an equity offering.

In order to satisfy our outstanding milestone payment obligations, as well as meet minimum purchase commitments under our agreements for the manufacture and supply of our drug product, in addition to generating income from the sale of LYMPHIR, we need to obtain substantial additional financing and cannot be sure that any additional funding will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. As of December 31, 2025, our outstanding milestone payments and purchase commitments for 2025 include:

●

On March 28, 2025, we entered into a letter agreement to pay Eisai $2,535,318 on or before July 15, 2025, and $2,350,000 thereafter on the 15^th of each of the next four months, and make a final payment of $2,197,892 on or before December 15, 2025, in each case with interest on each obligation from its original due date at the rate of 2% per annum. As of December 31, 2025, we have paid the milestone in full and owe a balance of approximately $6.8 million to Eisai for certain other invoices.

●

At the time of the FDA approval for LYMPHIR, a $27.5 million milestone payment became payable to Dr. Reddy’s of which a balance of $18.25 million remains due as of December 31, 2025. Dr. Reddy’s has agreed to a partial deferral without penalty of this milestone payment.

●

We entered into an agreement with a contract manufacturing organization for the manufacture and supply of drug substance. Under this agreement, we are obligated to purchase minimum annual quantities of batches at a set price per batch, subject to annual increases. As of December 31, 2025, the total minimum purchase commitment under this agreement was approximately $16.2 million, consisting of payments of $9.9 million and $6.3 million for calendar years 2025 and 2026, respectively with 2025 representing prior obligations which were not manufactured.

●

As of December 31, 2025, we also have commercial supply agreements with two other vendors for the completion and packaging of finished drug products. Minimum purchase commitments under these two agreements are approximately $4.0 million consisting of purchase commitment obligations of $2.2 million in calendar years 2026 and $1.8 million in 2027.

After giving effect to our recent equity offerings during the three months ended December 31, 2025, we expect that we and Citius Oncology collectively will have sufficient funds to continue our operations through May 2026. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our operations beyond May 2026. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in raising needed capital or that the proceeds will be received in an amount or in a timely manner to support our operations.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we paid the final $2,900,000 due to Eisai in connection with the LYMPHIR approval milestone and paid $1,500,000 in connection with the milestone payment due to Dr. Reddy’s. At December 31, 2025, we owe Dr. Reddy’s $18,250,000 representing the balance of the approval milestone.

Inflation

Our management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies and use of estimates as discussed in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q should also be read in conjunction with, the annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025, as amended January 28, 2026.
