PALISADE BIO, INC. Segments Disclosure
12. Segment Information
The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment, focused on the research and development of novel therapeutics for patients, including the advancement of PALI-2108 through clinical trials. The Company did not aggregate multiple operating segments into its one operating segment. The Company’s (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer.
The Company's CODM uses Net loss that is reported on the consolidated statements of operations for the purposes of assessing performance, allocating resources and planning, monitoring budget versus actual results, and forecasting future periods. The Company’s CODM views specific program spend within research and development expenses, research and development spend that is not allocated to specific programs, as well as general and administrative expenses as significant segment expenses. As a pre-product revenue company, the CODM considers budget versus actual results for expenses that are deemed significant and cash forecast models for assessing performance and to decide the level of investment in the Company’s operating and capital allocation activities.
In addition to significant expense categories included in Net loss, the Company regularly provides disaggregated significant expense amounts that comprise operating expenses to the CODM to assist when managing the Company's single reporting segment. A reconciliation to consolidated operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is included in the table below (in thousands):

PALI-2108 program expenses are those expenses directly related with the development of the Company's only asset currently under development, PALI-2108. Legacy program expenses are those expenses directly related to its legacy assets, primarily LB1148, which the Company ceased developing in August of 2023. Other research and development expenses includes primarily salary and employee-related costs and benefits and research and development facility expenses, which are not allocated to specific programs, and non-cash loss or gain associated with changes in the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration obligation. Other general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and employee-related costs and benefits, legal professional fees expenses, investor and public relations expenses, accounting and audit services, insurance costs, director and committee fees, and general corporate expenses. Excluded from other general and administrative expenses are intellectual property expenses and business development expenses that are allocated to program expenses.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the other segment items that the Company used to aggregate Total operating expenses to arrive at Net Loss as shown on the consolidated statement of operations include Interest expense and Other income, net.
The Company does not provide separate segment asset information to the CODM because the CODM does not review segment assets at a different asset level or category than those shown on the consolidated balance sheets. All of the Company’s assets are located in the U.S.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
