Rafael Holdings Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results

 

NEWARK, NJ – December 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Rafael Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RFL) today reported its financial results for the first quarter fiscal year 2026 ended October 31, 2025.

 

“We remain pleased with the progress of our pivotal Phase 3 TransportNPC™ study evaluating Trappsol® Cyclo™ for the treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1, which the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended continuing after their review of prespecified safety and efficacy data at 48 weeks. We believe that Trappsol® Cyclo™ could provide an important new treatment option for patients suffering from this rare and fatal genetic disease,” said Howard Jonas, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Rafael Holdings.

 

Rafael Holdings, Inc. First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

 

As of October 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $45.5 million.

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2025, we recorded a net loss attributable to Rafael Holdings of $9.8 million, or $0.19 per share, versus a net loss of $9.0 million, or $0.37 per share in the year ago period. The year over year increase in net loss is attributable to the consolidation of Cyclo Therapeutic’s expenses following the acquisition of Cyclo in March 2025.

 

Research and development expenses were $7.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million in the year ago period. The year over year increase relates to the inclusion in the current year period of spending at Cyclo following the March 2025 acquisition.

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to $2.5 million in the year ago period. The year over year increase relates to the inclusion of expenses at Cyclo following the March 2025 acquisition.
