NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) (“INBS” or the “Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced its financial results and operational highlights for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2026.
“Fiscal first quarter revenue was the highest quarterly revenue in our Company’s history,” said Harry Simeonidis, President and CEO at Intelligent Bio Solutions. “Each reader draws on a recurring supply of higher-margin cartridges, which is driving most of our revenue growth. Our business continues to scale with improving unit economics, including expanding gross profit margins driven by manufacturing efficiencies and a higher share of revenue from higher-margin cartridge consumables.”

Mr. Simeonidis continued, “In September, we submitted our 510(k) premarket notification to the FDA for the Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System, the culmination of the clinical program we executed throughout 2026 and a key step toward our planned entry into the multi-billion-dollar U.S. drug screening market. Going forward, we will continue to invest in the clinical and regulatory work behind our 510(k) submission while maintaining discipline across the rest of the business.”
