Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

$7.1 Million in revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 from commercial sales of LYMPHIR®

$17 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026

Expanded LYMPHIR commercial and medical affairs organizations deployed nationwide

CRANFORD,

N.J., August 14, 2026 – Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Citius Pharma” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CTXR), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of first-in-class critical care products, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a business update, including progress at its majority-owned subsidiary, Citius Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTOR).

“The LYMPHIR launch continued to build momentum in our fiscal third quarter and remains the primary driver of our business. The number of institutional vial orders increased, new institutions placed orders, and LYMPHIR became available at 44 leading academic oncology centers, NCCN institutions and community infusion centers. These indicators demonstrate meaningful progress in formulary access and treatment-driven demand as physicians gain familiarity with LYMPHIR’s differentiated clinical profile,” said Leonard Mazur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citius Pharma and Citius Oncology.

“Following the quarter end, we completed the nationwide deployment of Citius Oncology’s expanded commercial and medical affairs teams, which now total 29 professionals. These teams are positioned to leverage the existing platform established to support LYMPHIR’s success, including patient hub services, marketing, reimbursement support, and market access. We believe our expanded organization will facilitate increased engagement with priority treatment centers, support formulary adoption and broaden access for eligible patients as the launch matures,” added Mazur.

“We also continued to advance LYMPHIR’s longer-term value proposition. Phase 1 investigator-initiated data presented at ASCO demonstrated encouraging clinical activity and durable responses for LYMPHIR in combination with pembrolizumab in heavily pre-treated gynecologic malignancies. Additionally, Phase 1 data of LYMPHIR administered prior to CAR-T therapy in high-risk relapsed or refractory DLBCL, presented at the 2026 ASTCT® & CIBMTR® Tandem Meetings, showed an 86% objective response rate, including 57% complete response, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. These positive signals point to LYMPHIR’s potential beyond cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. As we scale, we remain focused on disciplined execution and building the long-term sustainable value of LYMPHIR,” concluded Mazur.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 13, 2026, Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) issued a press release announcing our results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 2.02 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On February 9, 2026, Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 10, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any time before August 10, 2026, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by August 10, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule when required, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and its common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CTXR”. The Company is currently evaluating its options for regaining compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing req
