Dyadic International (NASDAQ:DYAI) Issues Earnings Results

Dyadic International (NASDAQ:DYAI) released its earnings results on Thursday. The biotechnology company reported ($0.05) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.04) by ($0.01), Zacks reports. Dyadic International had a negative return on equity of 2,920.31% and a negative net margin of 201.43%.

Here are the key takeaways from Dyadic International’s conference call:

• Q3 revenue fell 61% year over year to about $449,000, reflecting lower grant activity and the completion of prior-year R&D projects. Nine-month revenue was roughly flat at $2.5 million.
• Dyadic reported its first direct commercial sales of recombinant proteins, while partners expanded products based on its platforms; Inzymes’ first sale of a second chymosin product is expected to generate a $225,000 payment in Q4. Management cautioned that sales remain modest, customer adoption is slower than expected, and limited capital constrains inventory and growth.
• The expanded BRIG BIO–Strive Nutrition collaboration creates a potential path to supply bovine alpha-lactalbumin, with an initial 10-ton purchase and up to 200 tons in the following year contemplated. Those purchases depend on successful optimization, cost targets, product testing, and regulatory requirements.
• Dyadic highlighted C1 platform results including high-yield antibody production and a vaccine-antigen workflow completed in about 15 days; Gates-funded animal studies are underway, with results expected in Q1 2027. These are development milestones, and further validation and external funding will be needed to advance the programs.
• Dyadic ended Q3 with about $6 million in cash, restricted cash, and securities, after using approximately $5.3 million in operating cash during the first nine months; management expects cash use to remain at a similar level. The company raised $2.9 million gross in an offering and is evaluating financing and strategic options.
