IGC Pharma Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results, Showcasing Progress in Its Alzheimer’s Pipeline
IGC Pharma, Inc. ("IGC" or the "Company") (NYSE American:IGC) today announced its financial results and strategic advancements for the second fiscal quarter of 2025 ended September30, 2024. The quarter was marked by significant progress in the Company's pipeline, particularly in the development of potential treatments for Alzheimer's and other neurological and metabolic disorders.

Q2 FY2025 Company's Highlights
Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier with TGR-63: July 9, 2024 - Preclinical analyses for TGR-63 demonstrated this compound's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier with a favorable safety profile, positioning it for further therapeutic exploration as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
GLP-1 Agonist Discovery with IGC-1A through AI modeling: August 20, 2024 - Using AI modeling IGC identified IGC-1A as a potential GLP-1 agonist. This discovery opens new avenues in metabolic and neurological treatment, enhancing our competitive edge and expanding market opportunities.
Innovative Alzheimer's Target with IGC-1C: August 22, 2024 - IGC announced promising preclinical results for IGC-1C, a small-molecule modulator that targets tau protein phase separation. This advance strengthens our Alzheimer's portfolio by addressing a major disease pathway with an innovative approach.
Dual-Action Potential of IGC-AD1 as a Disease-Modifying Alzheimer's Therapy: September 4 & 18, 2024 - Preclinical evidence on IGC-AD1 supports its advancement toward clinical trials as a disease-modifying treatment with a unique dual-action potential. IGC-AD1 significantly impacts both amyloid-beta plaques and tau pathology-two critical drivers in Alzheimer's progression-positioning it as a leading candidate in Alzheimer's disease treatment.
"IGC Pharma's second quarter of fiscal 2025 was a period of substantial innovation and strategic milestones," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. "Our preclinical successes with TGR-63 and IGC-1C, along with the identification of IGC-1A as a potential GLP-1 agonist, underscore the breadth of our pipeline and our commitment to advancing impactful therapies. Notably, we're excited about the progress of IGC-AD1 in its journey as a potential disease-modifying treatment, a critical step toward addressing Alzheimer's at its core. Additionally, our 42% revenue growth reflects our ability to drive financial and operational momentum alongside research. We remain focused on leveraging AI-driven research and development to enhance value for both patients and shareholders."
Financial Summary
Revenue Growth: Revenue for the quarter reached approximately $412 thousand a 42% increase over Q2 FY 2024, driven by growth in the Life Science Segment, including sales of over-the-counter products, white, and private label services. IGC is focused on expanding revenue and profitability in this segment.
Cost Control Initiatives: SG&A expenses decreased by 25% to approximately $1 million, compared to Q2 FY 2024, reflecting disciplined cost management and a strategic reduction in operational and corporate expenses.
R&D Investment in Core Programs: R&D expenses, in the quarter, were approximately $917 thousand, a 28% decrease over Q2 FY 2024 attributed to cost-efficiency strategies while advancing our Phase 2 trials on IGC-AD1 and preclinical research for our other platforms such as TGR-63. We anticipate increased R&D expenses as we accelerate the Phase 2 trial.
Reduced Net Loss: The net loss for the quarter decreased to approximately $1.7 million or $0.02 per share, compared to approximately $2.5 million or $0.05 per share for Q2 FY 2024.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not used any of the $12 million available under the Credit Agreement with O-Bank.

IGC Pharma is an AI-powered, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative treatments for Alzheimer's disease and transforming patient care with fast-acting, safe, and effective solutions. Our portfolio includes the TGR family, including TGR-63, which targets amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's. The IGC-C and IGC-M platforms are advancing in preclinical studies, focusing on metabolic disorders, tau proteins, early plaque formation, and multiple disease hallmarks. Our lead therapeutic candidate, IGC-AD1, is a cannabinoid-based treatment currently in a Phase 2 trial for agitation in dementia associated with Alzheimer's (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05543681).
