InMed Reports Full Year Fiscal 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

 

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 9, 2026 – InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INM), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drug candidates for diseases with high unmet medical needs, today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.

 

The Company’s full financial statements and related MD&A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, are available at www.inmedpharma.com, www.sedarplus.com and www.sec.gov.

 

“This has been an important year for InMed as we position InMed for its next phase through the proposed merger with Mentari Therapeutics, Inc.,” commented Eric A. Adams, InMed President and CEO.

 

“The additional $200 million private placement announced by Mentari brings the expected aggregate pre-closing financing to approximately $490 million and further strengthens the combined company as we work toward completing the transaction by the end of the calendar year 2026. In parallel, we remain focused on maximizing the potential value of our legacy pharmaceutical programs for InMed shareholders through a Contingent Value Rights (“CVR”) structure, including pursuing strategic opportunities for INM-901, INM-089 and INM-755.”

 

Corporate Update

 

Proposed Merger with Mentari Therapeutics

 

In May 2026, InMed entered into a definitive merger agreement with Mentari Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mentari”), a privately held biotechnology company developing next-generation therapies for migraine prevention. Upon closing of the proposed merger (the “Merger”), the combined company is expected to operate as Mentari Therapeutics, Inc. and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “MTRI”. The combined company will focus on advancing Mentari’s pipeline of migraine prevention therapies.

 

In May 2026, in connection with the Merger, Mentari announced an oversubscribed $290 million private placement. In July 2026, Mentari announced an additional $200 million private placement from existing and new investors, increasing the expected aggregate gross proceeds from the pre-closing financing to approximately $490 million. The expanded financing is expected to extend the combined company’s cash runway into 2029 and through Phase 2a readouts for each of Mentari’s two PACAP-targeted lead programs, as well as support the clinical development of Mentari’s broader migraine prevention pipeline.

 

 

 

In July 2026, InMed filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger that includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of InMed and a management information circular and subsequently announced an amendment to the merger agreement that, among other matters, clarified the sequencing of certain transactions, the impact of the pre-closing financing on the exchange ratio and the intended tax treatment of the Merger. The Form S-4 has not yet become effective. After the Form S-4 is declared effective, InMed will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and management information circular to its shareholders and to Mentari’s stockholders.

 

The Merger remains on track to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including approval by InMed shareholders and Mentari stockholders and the effectiveness of the Form S-4.

 

InMed Pharmaceutical Assets

 

InMed continues to pursue strategic opportunities for its legacy pharmaceutical development programs, including INM-901 for Alzheimer’s disease, INM-089 for dry age-related macular degeneration and INM-755 for dermatology. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, legacy InMed shareholders are expected to receive CVRs related to the potential future monetization of these programs.

 

During the fiscal year, InMed continued to advance the development and transaction readiness of INM-901. The Company recently conducted a pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the INM-901 program and is integrating FDA feedback into drug development planning. InMed also continues to engage with potential strategic parties regarding opportunities to acquire or license INM-901, INM-089 and/or INM-755.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

During the fiscal year, a decision was made to discontinue the operations of InMed’s wholly owned subsidiary, BayMedica, LLC (“BayMedica”). As of June 30, 2026, BayMedica had wound down all of its operating activities, as well as terminated its commercial lease at the end of August 2026. BayMedica’s financial results are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial Commentary

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of$12.9 million, compared with a net loss of $8.2 million for the previous fiscal year.

 

Research and development expenses were $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, compared with $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to an increase in external contractors and personnel costs.

 

General and administrative expenses were $6.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, compared with $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased corporate legal expenses and personnel costs, partially offset by a decrease in patent related expenses and investor relations expenses.

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, BayMedica, which is presented as discontinued operations, recorded sales of $3.2 million compared with $5.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

 

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $2.2 million.
