SYDNEY, Australia, 30 April 2026: Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:RCE, FSE:R9Q) (Recce or
the Company), a leading developer of a New Class of Synthetic Anti-Infectives, today released its
Q3 FY2026 results and operational highlights.
Operational Highlights
Second Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) Signed with the
U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) to Advance RECCE®
327 Gel for Burn
Wounds
Recce announced it had entered into a CRADA with the USAISR – the U.S. Army’s leader in
Combat Casualty Research and Burn Care – to evaluate RECCE®
327 Gel (R327G) for burn wound
infections.
USAISR, located at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, will evaluate R327G in their
validated Walker-Mason rat model of burn wound infection, a model developed to mimic battlefield
injuries and study systemic responses to burns and subsequent infections. The study will assess
whether R327G can significantly reduce bacterial burden in infected burn wounds, specifically
targeting Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa –
two major pathogens frequently isolated from burn patients.
R327G, a broad-spectrum synthetic anti-infective, is being developed as a next-generation
amorphous gel wound dressing, offering practical utility for frontline deployment in military field kits
as well as potential application in clinical settings and post-operative care. With no loss of efficacy
upon repeated use and minimal risk of development of bacterial resistance, R327G represents a
novel approach in burn wound and trauma infection management.
This agreement builds on Recce’s first CRADA with the United States Army Medical Research
Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), reinforcing the Company’s expanding collaboration
with the U.S. Government in advancing next-generation anti-infectives. Together with Recce’s
USD $2.0 million CDMRP grant award, this second CRADA demonstrates accelerating U.S.
Government interest in R327 across multiple operational and therapeutic applications.
The CRADA will automatically expire on 30 September 2028 unless otherwise agreed between the
parties. The CRADA is limited to a collaborative research agreement and does not involve direct
commercial revenues, milestone payments, or funding commitments from USAISR to the
Company. The agreement is considered material due to its strategic significance, despite the
absence of quantifiable financial impact. It provides access to a world-leading U.S. military research
facility specialising in combat casualty and burn care, enabling independent preclinical evaluation
of R327G in a validated burn wound infection model. Positive outcomes may support future
regulatory submissions, partnering discussions and commercialisation of R327G as a hydrogel
wound dressing, influencing the long-term commercial value of the Company's anti-infective
pipeline, particularly its Department of Defense programs and clinical burn care applications
The agreement includes standard research collaboration provisions relating to the conduct of the
study, intellectual property and data rights and termination.
RECCE®
Anti-Infectives Patent Granted in Brazil
The Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) granted a Family 4 patent for Recce’s
Anti-Infectives, with expiry in 2041. This is the Company’s seventh Family 4 patent, alongside
Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Israel and Japan, with further Patent Cooperation Treaty
(PCT) submissions in respective stages of review or allowed. Across all patent families, the
Company’s intellectual property portfolio now spans 15 jurisdictions globally.
The Brazilian Patent claims relate to R327 and RECCE®
529 (R529), covering the process for
preparation of RECCE®
anti-infectives and the use of R327/R529 for the treatment of diseases –
particularly bacterial and viral infections. The patent further strengthens RECCE®
anti-infectives
intellectual property to be used in Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI),
Diabetic Foot Infections (DFI), Burn Wounds, Lung Infections (including Ventilator-Associated
Pneumonia/Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia), Urinary Tract Infections, Gonorrhoea, Influenza and
SARS-CoV-2. Administration routes covered include oral, inhalation, transdermal delivery,
injection, aerosol, gel, topical foam or ointment.
Brazil represents one of the world’s largest antibiotic markets and the largest in South America.
The Brazilian antibiotics market generated revenue of USD $774.5 million (approximately AUD
$1.09 billion) in 2024 and is expected to reach USD $964.3 million (approximately AUD $1.36
billion) by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2025 to 2033. Recce’s intellectual property
portfolio is focused on protection in leading antibiotic markets, and this granted patent further
supports the Company’s regional commercial strategy.

Key Opinion Leader Webinar – Clinical and Operational Presentation
Recce hosted a live webinar via Zoom, featuring presentations from experts and clinical partners
across key program areas. Topics covered included the Company’s Registrational Phase 3 Clinical
Trial for Diabetic Foot Infections in Indonesia, the U.S. Department of War burn wound program,
and updates on Recce’s broader anti-infective portfolio spanning both clinical and pre-clinical
programs. A full recording of the webinar is available here.
Indonesian Registrational Phase III Clinical Trial – Continued Dosing
Recce is actively dosing patients in its Registrational Phase III Clinical Trial for Diabetic Foot
Infections (DFI) with five clinical study sites currently activated across Indonesia. Patient dosing is
well underway with an approvable interim data readout at 155 patients and overall enrolment of up
to 310 DFI patients, randomised to receive either R327G or placebo. Upon receiving a positive
data read out, a submission for accelerated approval will be pursued with a potential commercial
launch available in 2026.
Financial Update
The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of AUD $1.7 million (before expected
overseas R&D rebate). Net cash inflows from operating activities in Q3 2026 were AUD $1.6
million, with Research and Development (AUD $2.7 million) being the largest item of expenditure
supporting ongoing human clinical trials, and the advancement of pre-clinical studies. Payments to
related parties (Executive & Director fees) were AUD $0.7 million.
AUD $5.3 million R&D Tax Incentive Rebate received from the Australian Taxation Office
for FY2025 – Additional AUD $3.5 million Expected to be received in the coming weeks
The Company announced a cash refund of AUD $5.3 million Research and Development (R&D)
Tax Incentive rebate from the Australian Taxation Office for the financial year ending 30 June 2025.
The AUD $5.3 million reflects R&D activities undertaken locally and overseas, provided to the
Company in cash, without caveat. The Australian Government’s 43.5% R&D Tax Incentive rebate,
supports Australian innovation, providing expanded benefit to the Company by allowing it to capture
43.5% of the Company’s R&D applicable activities, undertaken anywhere in the world.
The Company expects a further cash refund of approximately AUD $3.5 million, which would
complete the Company’s FY25 R&D rebate and provide additional non-dilutive funding.
Looking Ahead
The receipt of the AUD $5.3 million R&D rebate this quarter and the expected further AUD $3.5
million provides meaningful non-dilutive funding to support the accelerated delivery of Recce’s
clinical and commercial objectives. Key value-driving programs advancing in parallel include the
Registrational Phase 3 clinical trial in Indonesia for R327G, the U.S. Department of War burn wound
program under two active CRADAs, and the Company’s growing intellectual property portfolio across
global markets.
In line with this, the Company continues multiple licensing negotiations in support of its late-stage
clinical assets and multi-country market opportunity for unmet medical needs of large patient
populations.
