Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Champions Oncology reported third quarter fiscal 2026 oncology revenue of $16.6 million, slightly below the prior year’s $17.0 million as a large $4.5 million data license from last year did not repeat. Study service revenue still grew about 32%, reflecting strong project execution.
The company posted a GAAP net loss of $279,000 versus net income of $4.5 million a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $574,000 from $5.1 million as oncology services margin declined to 47% from 61% due to higher outsourced lab costs and mix shift.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2026, revenue edged up to $45.6 million from $44.6 million, but results swung to a net loss of $508,000 from $6.5 million of net income, with adjusted EBITDA decreasing to $1.5 million from $8.3 million. Champions ended the quarter with $7.1 million in cash and no debt, while increasing investment in R&D, sales and marketing, and its data platform to support future growth.

Champions Oncology Reports Revenue of $16.6 Million
Company remains on track to deliver year-over-year revenue growth and positive adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year
Hackensack, NJ – March 12, 2026 – Champions Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSBR), a leading translational oncology research organization, today announced its financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2026, ended January 31, 2026.
Third Quarter and Recent Highlights:
•Record study service revenue of $16.6 million, up approximately 32% year over year
•Total revenue of $16.6 million, compared to $17.0 million in the prior-year period
•Adjusted EBITDA of $574,000; GAAP loss from operations of approximately $276,000
The Company’s third quarter reflected record service revenue driven by strong study execution and the conversion of previously booked work. As is typical in the Company’s business, quarterly revenue can fluctuate depending on study timing and completion milestones. The strong third quarter reflects, in part, the conversion of backlog that had been delayed earlier in the year and may normalize somewhat in the near term before continuing to grow as bookings expand.
Robert Brainin, CEO of Champions, commented, “We delivered strong operational performance in the third quarter, including another quarter of record study services revenue and our third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA. While quarterly results can fluctuate in our business, we remain on track for annual growth and full-year positive adjusted EBIDTA while continuing to invest in our data platform and discovery therapeutics initiatives. We are also encouraged by the early momentum we are beginning to see in our data business and remain confident that our differentiated tumor bank, expanding capabilities, and growing customer engagement position Champions well for long-term growth.”
Exhibit 99.1
David Miller, CFO of Champions, added, “Study service revenue grew 32% year over year, benefiting in part from the conversion of previously booked work during the quarter. Total revenue declined modestly compared to the prior-year period due to the absence of the $4.5 million data license transaction recognized in the third quarter of last year.”
“Cost of sales during the quarter included more than $2 million of outsourced radiolabeling work. As this work transitions in-house over time, we expect these costs to decline and margins to improve. We also continue to invest in both our commercial organization and our data platform capabilities to expand our pipeline of opportunities and support future growth.”
Third Fiscal Quarter Financial Results
Total oncology revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 was $16.6 million compared to $17.0 million for the same period last year, a decrease of 2.8%. The decline was primarily attributable to the absence of the $4.5 million data license revenue recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Excluding data, revenue increased 32% reflecting strong study execution and the conversion of bookings from earlier quarters into revenue during the third quarter.
Total costs and operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $16.8 million compared to $12.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $4.3 million or 34.3%.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Champions reported a net loss of $279,000, including $423,000 in stock-based compensation, $341,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, and a loss on equipment sale and disposal of $89,000 . This compares to net income of $4.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which included $256,000 in stock-based compensation and $398,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses, and a loss on the sale and / or disposal of lab equipment was $574,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
Cost of oncology revenue was $8.8 million, for the three months ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $2.2 million, or 33.5%, compared to $6.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher outsourced lab service costs. As the Company transitions more of this work in-house, management expects margins to improve. Oncology services margin for the quarter was 47%, compared to 61% for three months ended January 31, 2025. The margin decline reflects outsourced radiolabeling work as well as the contribution of high-margin data revenue recognized in the prior-year period. Oncology services margin and profit are defined below in our Non-GAAP financial information discussion.
Research and development expense for the three months ended January 31, 2026 was $2.3 million, an increase of $552,000 or 32.1%, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The increase reflected greater investment in sequencing and related activities to advance the Company’s data licensing platform. Sales and marketing expense for the quarter was $2.7 million, an increase of $860,000, or 47.6%, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by higher compensation expense to support the growth of both the data and commercial businesses. General and administrative expense for the three months ended January 31, 2026 was $3.0 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 24.1%, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, and increased IT-related costs.
Exhibit 99.1
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2026, primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable and a decline in deferred revenue partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in financing and investing activities totaled approximately $30,000, reflecting purchases of lab and computer equipment, repayment of financing leases, and a stock options exercise.
The Company ended the quarter with cash on hand of approximately $7.1 million and no debt.
Year-to-date Financial Results
Total revenue for the nine months ending January 31, 2026 was $45.6 million, compared to $44.6 million for the same period last year, an increase of 2.2%. Total costs and operating expenses for the nine months ending January 31, 2026 were $46.2 million, compared to $38.0 million for the nine months ending January 31, 2025, an increase of $8.2 million, or 21.5%.
For the nine months ending January 31, 2026, Champions reported a net loss of $508,000, including $880,000 in stock-based compensation, $1.1 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and a loss on the sales and disposal of equipment of $110,000. This compares to net income of $6.6 million in the nine months ending January 31, 2025, which included $523,000 in stock-based compensation and $1.2 million in depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and an equipment disposal and sale losses, adjusted EBITDA was $1.5 million for the nine months ending January 31, 2026, compared to $8.3 million in the nine months ending January 31, 2025.
Cost of oncology services was $24.1 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2026, an increase of $3.0 million, or 14.1%, compared to $21.1 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven from higher mice costs and outsourced lab services. Oncology services margin for current year period was 47% compared to 52.6% for the prior year period.
Research and development expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was $7.0 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 43.3%, compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by greater investment in sequencing and related costs to support the development of our data platform, as well as an increase in investment in Corellia. Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2026 was $6.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 24.5%, compared to the prior-year period. General and administrative expense was $8.5 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 25.0%, compared to $6.8 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2025.

* Non-GAAP Financial Information
Exhibit 99.1
This press release contains “Non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
A further explanation and reconciliation and/or calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is included below and in the financial tables in this release.
The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The Company’s management uses Non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS represent measures that we believe are customarily used by investors and analysts to evaluate the financial performance of companies in addition to the GAAP measures that we present. Our management also believes that these measures are useful in evaluating our core operating results. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, or EPS as indicators of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS measures provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other peer companies in our industry, but other companies may calculate Non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to nonrecurring, unusual items.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) excluding the effect of stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization and may also exclude other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, when defined.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Adjusted net income (loss) (if denoted) and adjusted EPS exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization and may also exclude other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, when defined.
Oncology Services Profit and Oncology Services Margin
Oncology Services Profit is a Non-GAAP measure calculated as oncology revenue less cost of oncology revenue. Cost of oncology revenue is comprised primarily of expenses for mice, laboratory supplies, compensation, and outsourced lab services. Oncology Services margin is a Non-GAAP measure calculated as oncology services profit divided by oncology revenue.
Management believes that Oncology Services Profit and Oncology Services margin are metrics which provide a clear view of direct profitability before research and development, sales and marketing, and administrative expenses are factored into our results. Management monitors these metrics closely as an indicator of pricing strategy effectiveness and resource utilization. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures such as operating income (loss) and net income (loss). A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the accompanying tables.

Champions Oncology reported Q3 2026 oncology revenue of $16.6 million and a small net loss. Revenue slipped 2.8% from $17.0 million, mainly because a $4.5 million prior-year data license did not repeat. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $574,000 from $5.1 million.
Why did Champions Oncology’s revenue decline year over year in Q3 2026?
Total revenue declined because last year’s large data license was absent. Q3 2025 included a $4.5 million data license transaction. In Q3 2026, total revenue was $16.6 million, down 2.8%, even though study service revenue rose about 32% due to strong execution.

Profitability and margins weakened significantly compared with the prior year. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $279,000 versus $4.5 million of net income, and oncology services margin fell to 47% from 61%, driven by higher outsourced lab costs and mix effects.
How did Champions Oncology perform over the first nine months of fiscal 2026?
