JUPITER, Fla., May 13, 2026 — Dyadic International, Inc. ("Dyadic", "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DYAI), d/b/a Dyadic Applied BioSolutions, a global biotechnology company producing precision-engineered, animal-free proteins and enzymes for diverse commercial applications, today reported its financial results for Q1 2026 along with significant corporate achievements.

"Throughout 2025 and into early 2026, we remained focused on transforming Dyadic into a commercially driven organization by leveraging our proprietary microbial production platforms to bring animal-free recombinant proteins and enzymes to market, both independently and through strategic partnerships," said Joe Hazelton, President and Chief Operating Officer of Dyadic. "We are encouraged that these products are now moving through commercial sales channels and reaching customers, demonstrating the scalability of our technology platforms and the increasing market demand for our products. As our distribution partners broaden their reach and customer adoption continues to expand across cell culture media and biomanufacturing applications supporting key growth markets such as cell and gene therapy, biologics manufacturing, and emerging markets such as cultivated meat, we believe Dyadic is well positioned to drive increasing product revenues. At the same time, we are expanding our business development initiatives across Europe to build on the momentum we are achieving in Japan through our collaboration with Intralink."

**Recent Company Developments and Updates**

**Life Sciences**

● Recombinant Serum Albumin (AlbuFree™ DX): In February 2026, Proliant Health and Biologicals announced the commercial launch of AlbuFree™ DX recombinant human albumin, produced using Dyadic's production platform. Dyadic is entitled to a share of profits from commercial sales.

● OEM Distribution Agreement with IBT Bioservices: In March 2026, Dyadic entered into an OEM distribution agreement with IBT Bioservices to support commercialization of multiple recombinant proteins and enzymes through IBT's global distribution channels. Initial product quantities, including DNase I and transferrin, have been completed and shipped to support channel commercialization activities.

● DNase-1 (RNase-free): Dyadic completed production validation of recombinant DNase I and, together with Fermbox Bio, commercially launched DNase I (RNase-free) as the first product under their expanded collaboration.

● Recombinant Transferrin and Growth Factors: Dyadic continues advancing its animal-free transferrin and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) products for use in cell culture media, diagnostics, and research, with expanded customer interest and sampling activity for recombinant bovine transferrin within the cultivated meat industry.

● Reagent Proteins and Nucleic Acid Enzymes: Dyadic continues advancing a portfolio of enzymes for DNA and RNA manipulation, including RNase inhibitors and T7 RNA polymerase.

**Food and Nutrition**

● Alpha-Lactalbumin: In December 2025, Dyadic signed a development and commercialization agreement with BRIG Bio to create recombinant bovine alpha-lactalbumin for global nutrition markets. Product development activities have been initiated, including initial product quality and application testing, with customer sampling activities expected to begin in mid-2026.

● Human Lactoferrin: Dyadic has established a stable cell line for recombinant human lactoferrin production and is continuing optimization and characterization efforts supporting future nutrition applications.

● Non-Animal Dairy Enzymes: Dyadic's partner Inzymes has commercialized recombinant non-animal bovine chymosin following achievement of development milestones under its agreement with Dyadic.

● Food and Nutrition Pipeline Expansion: Dyadic anticipates broadening both partner-led and internal development programs focused on non-animal dairy proteins, selected food and nutrition enzymes, and related baking and brewing enzyme applications.

**Bio-Industrial Products**

● Expanded Fermbox Bio Collaboration: Dyadic expanded its collaboration with Fermbox Bio to support the development and manufacturing of animal-free recombinant proteins and enzymes across life sciences, food and nutrition, and bio-industrial markets.

● EN3ZYME™ Platform: Fermbox Bio previously launched EN3ZYME™, an enzyme cocktail produced using the Dapibus™ platform that converts agricultural residues into fermentable cellulosic sugars and fulfilled its first large scale order in 2025, with sampling activity now extending into the Asia Pacific region.

**Biopharmaceutical Programs**

● Gates Foundation-supported RSV and malaria monoclonal antibody programs and the CEPI/Fondazione Biotecnopolo di Siena ("FBS") H5 avian influenza antigen program continued to advance toward preclinical evaluation, with C1-produced antigens and antibodies expressed at high yields while demonstrating binding and neutralization profiles virtually identical to CHO-derived clinical reference materials.

● Collaborative development activities with Fondazione Biotecnopolo di Siena ("FBS") continue to demonstrate rapid antigen development timelines and the ability to progress from receipt of a codon-optimized plasmid to purified recombinant antigen candidates within weeks, while multiple preclinical animal studies evaluating C1-produced H5 (avian influenza), RSV and malaria antigens were initiated, with initial data readouts demonstrating high levels of neutralizing antibodies.

**Corporate Development**

● Expanding Commercial Efforts in Asia and Europe: Dyadic expanded its engagement with Intralink to include Europe in addition to Japan and South Korea, supporting broader commercial development activities and market entry initiatives for Dyadic's animal-free proteins.

● Commercial Scale-Up Activities: Together with Fermbox Bio and other manufacturing partners, Dyadic continues scaling production capabilities for multiple recombinant proteins and enzymes, including transferrin and additional commercial-stage products, to support broader market launch activities and channel expansion.

● Expanding Commercial Partnerships and Distribution Channels: Dyadic continues prioritizing relationships with manufacturing, supply chain, and distribution partners to support commercialization and broaden market access for its growing portfolio of recombinant proteins and enzymes.

● Commercialization and Channel Expansion Strategy: Dyadic is focused on increasing product availability through both direct and partner-led commercialization efforts, including OEM distribution, regional business development partnerships, and strategic manufacturing collaborations designed to support long-term recurring product revenue opportunities.

**Financial Highlights**

**Cash Position:** As of March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and the carrying value of investment-grade securities, including accrued interest, were $6,604,006 compared to $8,587,289 as of December 31, 2025.

**Revenue:** Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, amounted to $1,110,956 representing an increase of $717,384 or 182.3% compared to $393,572 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by a $220,490 increase in research and development revenue primarily related to the Proliant Agreement. Additionally, grant revenue increased by $276,894 due to activities under grants from CEPI and the Gates Foundation and license and milestone revenue also increased by $200,000 as a result of achieving a contract milestone under the Inzymes Agreement.

**Cost of Revenue:** Total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, amounted to $791,840 representing an increase of $494,182 or 166.0% compared to $297,658 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by a $213,677 increase in cost of research and development revenue. Cost of grant revenue increased by $280,505 due to activities under grants from CEPI and the Gates Foundation.

**R&D Expenses:** Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased $18,910 or 3.8% to $476,069 compared to $494,979 for the same period a year ago. The decrease was driven by a slight decrease in the number of active internal research initiatives undertaken.

**G&A Expenses:** General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $158,993 or 10.0% to $1,755,331 compared to $1,596,338 for the same period a year ago.

The decrease in loss from operations was largely attributable to an increase in total revenue of $717,384, decrease in research and development expenses of $18,910, partially offset by an increase in total cost of revenue of $494,182, and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $158,993.
