YD Bio Limited Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YD Bio Limited (“YD Bio” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: YDES), a biotechnology company advancing DNA methylation–based cancer detection technology and ophthalmologic innovations, today announced its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Management Commentary
“The first half of 2026 marks a historic turning point for YD Bio, highlighted by our transition to bottom-line profitability and a remarkable 315% surge in top-line revenue,” said Dr. Ethan Shen, Chairman and CEO of YD Bio. “This explosive growth is the direct result of our proactive commercial strategies, which successfully expanded our volume footprint with existing customers and secured large-scale orders for key diagnostic and therapeutic assets. While our net income of $6.7 million was propelled by non-cash adjustments in the fair value of our warrant liabilities, our structural baseline has never been stronger. We have deliberately expanded our staffing, clinical research, and marketing investments to actively shift our multi-vertical healthcare platform from a pure asset-validation phase into an era of repeatable, cross-border commercial execution.”

Dr. Shen continued, “Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, we are focused on aggressively managing our capital resources to address our operational runway while building sustainable long-term value. We are scaling up our authorized multi-state molecular laboratory network, advancing the newly launched cross-border clinical trial pilot in Canada, and accelerating our scaled-up exosome manufacturing batches. Furthermore, we have continued to invest heavily in our future by increasing our research and development expenses, specifically relating to two key licensed patents and know-how, which will form the foundation of our next-generation product offerings. Simultaneously, our team continues to carry out due diligence on major therapeutic and AI-driven business combinations. We are entering the second half of the year fully committed to executing our strategic pipeline, expanding patient access to early-stage molecular diagnostics, and systematically driving toward self-sustaining cash flow.”

Net Revenue
Net revenue increased by $642,494 or 315% to $846,501 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $204,007 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The top 5 individual products by revenue accounted for 57% of the total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026. This revenue growth was primarily attributed to increase in sales of drugs and medical and related products by $589,944, driven by the Company’s more proactive efforts in expanding business with existing clients during the six months ended June 30, 2026, enhancing its visibility and influence among clients, and securing several sizable orders, including a single order for Fetroja for Injection (a new product) amounting to $327,060 from the top client, which contributed 39% of the net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Top five individual products by revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

Product	Revenue
Fetroja for Injection (Drugs)	$327,060
Keytruda Injection (Drugs)	$55,426
Universal High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (Medical and related products)	$45,504
Lynparza (Drugs)	$27,211
Imbruvica (Drugs)	$26,544
Subtotal	$ 481,745

Top five individual products by revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025:

Product	Revenue
Keytruda injection (Drugs)	$42,503
Exolens Hioxifilcon (Contact lenses)	$35,000
Pharmorubicin Injection (Drugs)	$17,938
12-Lead Electrocardiograph (Medical and related products)	$10,048
Solu-Medrol Injection (Drugs)	$8,478
Subtotal	$ 113,967

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue increased by $443,059 or 328% to $578,271 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $135,212 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The cost of revenue consists primarily of purchase costs of products for resales. The increase in cost of revenue was higher than the increase of net revenue, which was primarily due to relatively lower margins associated with a certain large sales order amounting to $327,060, accounting for 39% of the net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Supplier concentration for the six months ended June 30, 2026 included purchases from two suppliers, accounting for approximately 42.9% and 19.2% of purchases. While YD Bio actively manages relationships with suppliers and seeks to diversify its supplier base, a disruption in the supply of goods or services from a major supplier could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

Gross Profit
Gross Profit increased by $199,435 or 290% to $268,230 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $68,795 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change was primarily due to higher sales volumes.

Operating Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our total operating expenses were approximately $3.5 million, reflecting an increase of $1.5 million compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was mainly caused by the increase of professional and consultancy services fees of $0.1 million, the increase in research and development expenses by $0.3 million related to two licensed patents and know-how, by the $0.5 million increase in staff costs from the expansion of our business, and by the $0.4 million increase in selling and marketing expenses to promote the Company.

Net (Loss) Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the net income was $6.7 million compared to net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in net income was mainly caused by the increase of change in fair value of warrant liabilities by $9.8 million, offset by increase in professional and consultancy services fees of $0.1 million, the increase in research and development expenses by $0.3 million related to two licensed patents and know-how, by the $0.5 million increase in staff costs from the expansion of our business, and by the $0.4 million increase in selling and marketing expenses to promote the Company. Excluding non-cash fair value changes of warrant liabilities, the unadjusted operational net loss increased by $1.2 million or 64% to $3.1 million for the period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2026, YD Bio’s cash was $2,662,004 compared to $6,007,615 as of December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to payment for professional and consultancy services fees of $0.7 million, research and development expenses of $1.2 million, staff cost of 1.2 million, payment for purchase of medical products of $0.9 million and prepayment for the purchase of office space and parking facilities of $0.5 million, offset by sales collection of $1 million and a decrease in amount due from affiliates of $0.3 million.
