CarnoSyn beta-alanine royalties and sales climbed 13% to $2.0 million in the quarter but fell 15% to $3.7 million over the first six months due to royalty variability and order timing.

3. Liquidity Position

4. Outlook and Strategic Initiatives

Management expects sales growth in the remaining two quarters but anticipates a net loss for the second half and full fiscal 2026 due to reduced customer forecasts and delayed product launches. Completed capacity expansions, including a high-volume powder facility and enhanced blending capacity, aim to support future volume increases and cost efficiency.
