Simulations Plus Announces Collaboration with Lonza and U.S. FDA to Advance Predictive Frameworks for Complex Oral Drug ProductsApril 21, 2026 7:55 AM
Business Wire
Mechanistic modeling approach and experimental integration designed to improve early risk identification, strengthen regulatory confidence, and expand AI-enabled workflows connecting data to decision-making
Simulations Plus, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLP) (“Simulations Plus” or the “Company”), a global leader in model-informed and AI-accelerated drug development that advances biopharma innovation, today announced a funded research collaboration with Lonza Group AG (“Lonza”), a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) dedicated to serving the healthcare industry, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop and validate a mechanistic, predictive framework for assessing the in vivo performance of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) drug products.
“Complex oral formulations such as amorphous solid dispersions present significant scientific and regulatory challenges due to their sensitivity to physiological and manufacturing variables,” said Dr. Viera Lukacova, Chief Scientific Officer of Simulations Plus. “Through this funded collaboration, we aim to integrate advanced in vitro systems with mechanistic modeling to improve prediction of in vivo performance, support regulatory decision-making, and enable more efficient development pathways for these high-impact therapies that deliver faster dissolution and more drug absorption.”
Advancing Mechanistic, Model-Informed Approaches for Complex Products
ASDs are among the most powerful yet complex oral drug delivery systems, with performance influenced by factors such as food intake, gastric pH, formulation composition, and manufacturing processes. Current regulatory approaches often require multiple clinical bioequivalence (BE) studies, which can be resource-intensive while still carrying uncertainty.
The collaboration evaluates whether advanced in vitro dissolution systems—particularly those incorporating dynamic gastrointestinal physiology—combined with mechanistic physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling (PBBM), can reliably predict key in vivo outcomes, including food effects and the impact of elevated gastric pH conditions.
By establishing and validating these predictive capabilities, the collaboration aims to provide a scientific foundation for reducing reliance on certain clinical BE studies while maintaining the rigor and transparency required by regulators.
Integrating Experimental and Mechanistic Modeling Expertise
The collaboration brings together complementary capabilities across experimental science and computational modeling.
Lonza will lead experimental work, including in vitro dissolution testing under fasted, fed, and elevated gastric pH conditions using advanced systems such as Controlled Transfer Dissolution (CTD), as well as the characterization and, where needed, manufacturing of ASD formulation variants.
Simulations Plus will lead the development and validation of in vitro–in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) frameworks using its DDDPlus® and GastroPlus® platforms, translating experimental data into predictions of in vivo pharmacokinetics and supporting virtual bioequivalence assessments. At the same time, it creates new opportunities to extend these capabilities into grounded AI-enabled workflow environments, where data, mechanistic models, and simulation outputs will be more directly connected. The Company will also contribute to interpretation within a regulatory context, ensuring alignment with evolving expectations for model-informed drug development (MIDD).
Francois Ricard, Head of R&D, Lonza Advanced Synthesis, said, “This collaboration reflects Lonza’s commitment to advancing more predictive, science-driven approaches as the leader in the field of bioavailability enhancement. By combining advanced in vitro experimentation with mechanistic modeling, and working closely with Simulations Plus and the FDA, we aim to strengthen the scientific foundation that underpins regulatory decision-making for complex oral drug products. Ultimately, this type of collaboration should help accelerate development for our customers requiring bioequivalence during clinical development.”
Alignment with Regulatory Priorities and Industry Needs
This work is supported in part through FDA funding and includes ongoing engagement with FDA scientists to directly align with regulatory priorities to advance MIDD, modernize bioequivalence assessment for complex products, and reduce unnecessary reliance on human studies. By combining regulatory collaboration with open, non-proprietary data and validated methods based on real-world, FDA-approved ASD products, the initiative is intended to inform future regulatory approaches and support broader adoption of science-based alternatives.
“The industry is moving toward a future where decisions are informed earlier, with greater confidence and scientific transparency,” added Lukacova. “Our role is to ensure those decisions are grounded in validated science—while enabling more efficient ways to connect data, models, and insight.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
A further explanation and reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is included below and in the financial tables in this release.
The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented facilitate an understanding of operating performance and provide a meaningful comparison of its results between periods. The Company’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to, among other things, evaluate its ongoing operations in relation to historical results, for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and in the calculation of performance-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS represent measures that we believe are customarily used by investors and analysts to evaluate the financial performance of companies in addition to the GAAP measures that we present. Our management also believes that these measures are useful in evaluating our core operating results. However, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, or diluted EPS as indicators of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS measures provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other peer companies in our industry, but other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to nonrecurring, unusual items.
Please note that the Company has not reconciled the adjusted EBITDA or adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, financings, and employee stock compensation programs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding the effect of interest expense (income), provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on currency exchange, impairment charges, change in fair value of contingent consideration, reorganization expense, acquisition and integration expense, and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS
Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effect of amortization, equity-based compensation expense, loss (gain) on currency exchange, impairment charges, change in fair value of contingent consideration, reorganization expense, acquisition and integration expense, and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance as well as the income tax provision adjustment for such charges.
The Company excludes the above items because they are outside of the Company’s normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately.

The non-recurring benefit for income taxes for the six-month period was $289,000, compared to $1.2 million of income tax expense in 6MoFY17, due to the adjustment mentioned above and the lower blended Federal rates for the second quarter of this fiscal year.
Inclusive of the tax benefit, net income was $5.2 million, up $2.63 million, or 103.0%, compared to $2.6 million for 6MoFY17; without the adjustment, income would have been $3.7 million for the quarter, up $1.1 million or 44%
Inclusive of the tax benefit, diluted earnings per share increased $0.14 to $0.29 from $0.15, the tax adjustment accounted for $0.08 of the increase in diluted earnings per share
John Kneisel, chief financial officer of Simulations Plus, said, “We saw another strong quarterly revenue growth in our core divisions in Lancaster and Buffalo coupled with the new revenues and profits from DILIsym Services acquired in the last quarter of our prior fiscal year. Even with the addition of a higher percentage of non-software sales we have seen increases in operating income margins. The Company produced a 28.9% growth in revenues and a 34.7% growth in income from operations.”
