Exhibit 99.1
Revelation Biosciences, Inc. Announces Financial Results
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
SAN DIEGO – May 7, 2026 – Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company developing innovative solutions to treat acute and chronic disease, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Corporate Highlights
“The incredible momentum achieved in 2025 is continuing in 2026,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “Our focus remains on getting our pivotal clinical study of Gemini in acute kidney patients underway for the benefit of those patients and ultimately to deliver significant value for our shareholders.”
Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2026, Revelation had $14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $10.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to net cash proceeds from the January 2026 warrant inducement, offset by cash used for operating activities. Based on current operating plans and projections, Revelation believes its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations through the first quarter of 2027.
Net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.2 million compared to net cash used for operating activities of $2.8 million for the same period in 2025. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.0 million, or $2.71 basic and diluted net loss per share compared to net loss of $2.1 million, or $25.34 basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
About Gemini
Gemini is the Company’s proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®), a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist. TLR4 stimulation with Gemini rebalances the innate immune response and has been demonstrated to have the potential to treat acute and chronic diseases associated with dysregulated inflammation. Gemini is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for acute kidney injury (GEM-AKI); Gemini is also being developed as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (GEM-CKD), as a treatment to reduce hyperinflammation and infection associated with severe burn (GEM-PBI), and as a treatment to prevent post-surgical infection (GEM-PSI). The potential of Gemini to correct dysregulated inflammation has been demonstrated in multiple preclinical models of AKI, CKD, and infection, as well as in two Phase 1 clinical studies. See additional detail here.
About Revelation Biosciences, Inc.
