SAN DIEGO, March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cibus, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBUS) (the "Company"), a leading agricultural technology company that develops and licenses plant traits to seed companies, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and provided a business update. Management will host a conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Management Commentary
Peter Beetham, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Cibus, commented, "2025 was a landmark year that validated our technology leadership and strategic vision. Our seven Rice partner customers continue to drive our near-term 2027 and 2028 commercial launch targets in our USA and LATAM geographic markets, which have the potential for more than
Dr. Beetham continued, "What makes 2026 particularly exciting is the continuing convergence of technology leadership and commercial potential. For years, speed and scale were obstacles for seed companies. Our highly efficient single-cell editing system, coupled with our time bound, predictable trait development has fundamentally altered that equation, and we're poised to capitalize on the results. As our Rice program advances toward our targeted 2027 and 2028 initial commercial launches, with our partners committing resources to access technology and accelerate their innovation timelines, we're also beginning to see opportunities beyond traditional trait licensing. This includes the potential for genomic editing for partners in opportunity-rich markets like India, Asia (outside of China), and Latin America and expanding opportunities for sustainable ingredient development primarily for the consumer packaged goods industry and secondarily for other industries looking for better-for-you products. As we explore these opportunities, while maintaining our core trait licensing and royalty model, I am more excited than ever about our ability to build a durable, high value cash flow stream that will underpin long-term shareholder value creation."
Dr. Beetham commented, "Finally, our recent successful public offering and continued streamlined focus and operational efficiency gains are providing a solid foundation for Cibus as we lead gene editing technologies in changing the scale and speed of plant breeding and advance toward near-term revenue catalysts."

2025 and 2026 Year-to-Date Business Update
Commercial Progress for Priority Programs and Global Regulatory Developments
Priority Pipeline Traits and Programs
- Weed Management (HT1 and HT3) in Rice
- Solidified Rice as the Company's priority pipeline program in 2025.
- On track for targeted 2027 and 2028 launches in LATAM and USA, respectively, where Company sees 5-7 million peak addressable acres and an opportunity for over
$200 million in annual addressable royalties at peak. - Continued development and commercialization progress with LATAM and USA partners, including Interoc, CIAT, Semillano, Fedearroz and others.
- In January 2026, executed a non-binding LOI with Interoc establishing a framework for commercialization of co-developed herbicide tolerant rice traits across key Latin American markets following on the companies' successful 2024 material transfer agreement.
- In March 2026, Interoc received an additional import permit to allow for future transfer of material bearing HT traits.
- In August 2025, signed a material transfer agreement with CIAT, to provide HT3 clethodim herbicide tolerance trait targeting a significant portion of the LATAM Rice market. CIAT works with the Latin American Fund for Irrigated Rice (FLAR) and participates in the Hybrid Rice Consortium for Latin America (HIAAL).
- In August 2025, signed a material transfer agreement with Colombian Rice producer Semillano.
- In October 2025, engaged AgVayā to develop a comprehensive strategy supporting entry into India, the world's second-largest rice producer and largest exporter with approximately 125 million acres under cultivation.
- Completed delivery of Rice lines with the HT3 trait to an existing US customer in March 2025.
- Following 2024 field trial results for stacked gene edited herbicide tolerance traits in Rice, in March 2025 the Company expanded its efforts to include additional trait stacking to broaden weed management for crop protection with additional field testing underway.
- Sustainable Ingredients Program
- Received its first customer payment from the Sustainable Ingredients program in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a significant commercial milestone and confidence in the Company's business model in this high-value segment.
- Successfully completed pre-commercial pilot runs with its contract partner for certain biofragrance products during the third quarter of 2025, demonstrating technical readiness for scale-up.
- Continuing to target commercial expansion in 2026.
Global Regulatory Development
- Global regulatory environment for gene editing technologies remains positive, with momentum entering 2026
- In December 2025, the European Union reached political agreement on New Genomic Techniques legislation, advancing the regulatory framework for gene edited plants and representing meaningful progress toward broader commercial acceptance of precision breeding technologies, excluding HT traits, in this key market. This development positions Cibus to potentially address European agricultural challenges as the regulatory pathway becomes clearer.
- In June 2025, USDA-APHIS determined Cibus' HT2 herbicide tolerance trait in canola is "not regulated" under USDA biotechnology regulations (7 CFR Part 340), marking the 17th Cibus trait to be so designated by the agency, and thereby addressing a key commercialization hurdle in the United States.
- On May 6, 2025, the United Kingdom government made progress toward implementing its regulatory framework for Precision Bred Organisms (PBOs). The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have published guidelines for industry and Cibus has participated as a test case for the UK's new review process, as the Company has been active in field testing for the past two years.
- In April 2025, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in Ecuador determined that Cibus' HT1 and HT3 Rice traits are equivalent to those developed through conventional breeding and subject to the same regulations as conventional seed in accordance with the provisions of the Organic Law of Agrobiodiversity, Seeds and Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture and its Regulations. Ecuador strictly prohibits the commercial planting of transgenic (GMO) crops.
- During the California Rice Commission's Rice Certification Committee Meeting on February 26, 2025, the Commission approved Cibus' field research proposal, marking the first time gene edited Rice has been authorized for planting in California.
2025 and 2026 Year-to-Date Progress within Opportunity Programs and Other Business Updates
In addition to Cibus' self-funded Rice herbicide tolerance trait program and its actively advancing sustainable ingredients program, which is partially partner-funded and/or supported, the Company's pipeline of developed and advanced traits provides several additional opportunities for partner-funded programs.
Opportunity Pipeline Traits and Programs (Available for Partnership)
- Traits in Canola
- In the United Kingdom, Cibus was selected as a key technology partner in a landmark research and development project funded by DEFRA to develop durable resistance to Light Leaf Spot disease in oilseed rape, which has caused estimated yield losses of up to
£300 million in recent years. - Completed 2025 UK field trials for Pod Shatter Reduction in Winter Oilseed Rape demonstrating encouraging performance and positioning these traits for potential future partner development.
- In October 2025, announced positive field trial results for second-generation herbicide tolerance (HT2) edited Canola in North America. The HT2 trait can be stacked with other herbicide resistance traits, giving growers additional options and greater flexibility in weed management.
- In March 2025, announced controlled environment testing of its third mode of action for Sclerotinia resistance in Canola demonstrated enhanced resistance.
- In the United Kingdom, Cibus was selected as a key technology partner in a landmark research and development project funded by DEFRA to develop durable resistance to Light Leaf Spot disease in oilseed rape, which has caused estimated yield losses of up to
- Nutrient-use Efficiency (Root Microbe Symbiosis)
- In June 2025, confirmed its ongoing collaboration agreement with the John Innes Centre on a breakthrough nutrient use efficiency trait, which has the potential, with future external funding, to create significant commercial opportunities across Cibus' crop portfolio, by addressing a global fertilizer efficiency challenge where only one-third of applied fertilizer is typically absorbed by plants.
- Soybean Platform
- In January 2025, the Company successfully edited a Soybean cell for its HT2 trait, achieving sufficiently high editing rates that enabled expanded development of its Soybean platform in conjunction with its partially partner-funded and/or supported Sustainable Ingredients program.
- Wheat Platform
- The Company has successfully regenerated plants from single cells in a wheat cultivar, opening up the potential to accelerate trait partner funded development in one of the world's most cultivated crops.
Corporate and Industry Progress
- Capital Markets Activity
- In January 2026, Cibus raised
$22.3 million in gross proceeds, before deducting commissions payable in connection with the offering and offering expenses, from a public offering. This strengthened balance sheet supports continued trait development, particularly for Rice herbicide tolerance.
- In January 2026, Cibus raised
- Streamlined Focus and Operational Efficiency
- Completed closing of Oberlin facility and consolidation of Oberlin operations into San Diego headquarters facility during the third quarter of 2025.
- Substantially wound down activities at the Company's Roseville, Minnesota facility.
- On target to deliver annual net cash usage of approximately
$30 million or less during 2026.
- Standardized RTDS gene editing process for industrialized breeding
- In January 2025, established production standards for its proprietary RTDS gene editing process. Cibus believes that it can edit a customer's elite germplasm or seed and return it to its customer with a specific edit within 12-15 months.
- Board Appointments
- In September 2025, Cibus appointed Kimberly A. Box to its Board of Directors, strengthening the Company's governance and commercialization strategy leadership capabilities.
- In November 2025, Cibus appointed Craig Wichner to its Board of Directors, strengthening the Company's agricultural sector expertise and strategic advisory capabilities.
Expected Milestones for Priority Pipeline Traits and Programs
Cibus intends to report ordinary course development progress and achievements in connection with its quarterly reporting process. Cibus presents below the most significant development and commercial milestone targets for its priority programs for 2026:
- Weed Management (HT1 and HT3) in Rice:
- Continued expansion of existing, and developing new, customer relationships with Rice seed companies across the US, LATAM, and India during the course of 2026
- Expand discussions with additional Rice seed companies in new Latin American countries, such as Brazil (with support from RTDC) and Argentina
- Explore new opportunities with support from RTDC and AgVayā in the large Indian Rice market
- Develop full commercial agreements for two existing Latin American Rice seed partners
- Sustainable Ingredients:
- Expect additional scale-up orders of the Company's initial bio-fragrances in the second half of 2026; expect further development of other fragrances in 2026
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
- Cash position: Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, was
$9.9 million . Taking into account the$19.8 million net proceeds received in 2026 from the Company's offering in January 2026 and the impact of implemented cost saving initiatives, and without giving effect to potential financing transactions that Cibus may pursue from time-to-time, Cibus expects that existing cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into late in the third quarter of 2026. Cibus' Board of Directors, together with its financial advisor, continues to evaluate a full range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. - Research and development (R&D) Expense: R&D expense was
$9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to$12.4 million in the year-ago period. The decrease of$3.0 million is primarily due to cost reduction initiatives. - Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense: SG&A expense was
$5.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to$6.8 million in the year-ago period. The decrease of$1.7 million is primarily due to cost reduction initiatives. - Long-lived assets impairment: Long-lived assets impairment was
$9.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to no impairment in the year-ago period. The increase of$9.1 million non-cash expense is due to the impairment of long-lived assets resulting from a fair value assessment related to its Roseville, Minnesota facility as the Company announced during the fourth quarter of 2025 plans to wind-down operations at this facility. - Royalty liability interest expense - related parties: Royalty liability interest expense - related parties was
$9.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to$8.2 million in the year-ago period. The increase of$1.2 million is due to the recognition of interest expense on the accumulating Royalty Liability. - Non-operating (expense) income, net: Non-operating (expense) income, net was a nominal expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to income of
$0.4 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in income of$0.4 million is driven by the fair value adjustment of the Company's liability classified common warrants. - Net loss: Net loss was
$31.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to$25.8 million in the year-ago period. - Net loss per share of Class A common stock: Net loss per share of Class A common stock was
$0.59 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to net loss per share of Class A common stock of$0.87 in the year-ago period. The decrease of$0.28 in net loss per share of Class A common stock is primarily driven by cost reduction initiatives described above and a year-over-year increase in weighted average shares outstanding partially offset by the non-cash long-lived assets impairment in the fourth quarter of 2025 which accounted for approximately$0.17 in net loss per share of Class A common stock.

About Cibus
Cibus is a leader in developing traits (characteristics) that address critical productivity, yield and sustainability challenges. Cibus' proprietary high-throughput gene editing technologies drive its long-term focus on productivity traits for farmers for the major global row crops. Cibus is not a seed company. It is a technology company that uses its gene editing technologies to develop plant traits at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional breeding and to license them to customers in exchange for royalties.
About the Cibus Trait Machine™ process and Rapid Trait Development System™
A key element of Cibus' technology breakthrough is its high-throughput breeding process (referred to as the Trait Machine™ process). The Trait Machine process is a crop specific application of Cibus' patented Rapid Trait Development System™ (RTDS®). The proprietary technologies in RTDS integrate crop specific cell biology platforms with a series of gene editing technologies to enable a system of end-to-end crop specific precision breeding. It is the core technology platform for Cibus' Trait Machine process: the first standardized end-to-end semi-automated crop specific gene editing system that directly edits a seed company's elite germplasm. Each Trait Machine process requires a crop specific cell biology platform that enables Cibus to edit a single cell from a customer's elite germplasm and grow that edited cell into a plant with the Cibus edits.
Cibus believes that RTDS and the Trait Machine process represent the technological breakthrough in plant breeding that is the ultimate promise of plant gene editing: high- throughput gene editing systems operating as an extension of seed company breeding programs. In 2024, the Trait Machine process was cited by Fast Company Magazine as one of the most innovative products in 2024.
