Splash Beverage Group Expands CannEpil® Platform into Veterinary Therapeutics, Establishing Second FDA-Regulated Pharmaceutical Development Program
Expansion broadens CannEpil into veterinary therapeutics as Splash advances its cannabinoid pharmaceutical development platform
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 29, 2026— Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) (“Splash” or the “Company”) today announced that it has expanded its exclusive global license for CannEpil® to include veterinary therapeutic applications, creating a second regulated pharmaceutical development platform alongside the Company’s existing human pharmaceutical program.
The expanded field of use grants Splash exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, commercialize, market and distribute CannEpil for veterinary diseases and conditions.
CannEpil is a proprietary pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid formulation consisting of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) isolates formulated in an oral liquid solution and manufactured under European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (EU-GMP) standards. Originally developed as a potential treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, CannEpil has previously been supplied through physician-directed access programs in international markets and has been assigned an Investigational New Drug (IND) application number by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its human development program.
Splash intends to initially evaluate CannEpil for veterinary applications in companion-animal oncology and chronic pain management, with canine indications expected to represent the initial development focus. The Company intends to pursue U.S. regulatory approval through the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine’s Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) and Conditional Approval pathways.
Addressing Significant and Growing Companion-Animal Markets
The Company’s veterinary expansion positions CannEpil within two significant and growing areas of companion-animal medicine.
According to Grand View Research, the global veterinary pain management market was valued at approximately $2.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately $3.8 billion by 2030, driven by increasing pet ownership, longer lifespans and growing demand for advanced veterinary care.
Companion-animal oncology represents another meaningful opportunity. Independent industry estimates place the global veterinary oncology market between approximately $900 million and $1.7 billion, depending on the products and services included, with continued long-term growth expected.
The underlying patient population is substantial. According to the Veterinary Cancer Society, one in four dogs will develop cancer during their lifetime, while approximately half of dogs over the age of ten will develop cancer. The U.S. National Cancer Institute estimates that approximately six million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year in the United States.
“Expanding our exclusive CannEpil license into veterinary medicine materially broadens the value of the platform and provides access to significant companion-animal oncology and pain-management markets,” said Brady Cobb, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Splash Beverage Group. “Cancer and chronic pain affect millions of companion animals, yet treatment options remain limited in many indications. We believe CannEpil’s pharmaceutical-grade formulation warrants disciplined evaluation through the FDA veterinary process.”
Under the amendment, Splash will pay Argent BioPharma Limited a 10% royalty on net revenues generated from veterinary applications of CannEpil.
The Company is also finalizing a strategic joint venture with an established cannabinoid pharmaceutical company to lead CannEpil’s veterinary development program. The partner’s executive leadership includes experienced pharmaceutical development professionals with a demonstrated track record of advancing cannabinoid-based medicines through regulatory approval and commercialization. Splash expects to announce additional details regarding the collaboration in the near future.
Executing a Diversified Cannabinoid Health Sciences Strategy
“Our objective extends well beyond expanding the licensed field of use,” Cobb continued. “We are assembling a world-class development platform around CannEpil by partnering with experienced cannabinoid pharmaceutical executives who have successfully navigated complex regulatory pathways and helped bring cannabinoid medicines to market. We believe pairing differentiated intellectual property with proven scientific and regulatory expertise materially enhances our ability to create long-term shareholder value.”
“Splash is executing a disciplined strategy to build a diversified cannabinoid health sciences platform by commercializing existing international pharmaceutical assets, advancing FDA-regulated veterinary and human therapeutics, and developing innovative cannabinoid consumer wellness and beverage brands for global markets. The expansion of CannEpil into veterinary medicine represents another important milestone in executing that strategy and further positions Splash at the intersection of pharmaceutical innovation and cannabinoid science.”
The Company believes the expanded veterinary rights complement its broader strategy of commercializing pharmaceutical cannabinoid assets across multiple regulated healthcare markets. Actual development timelines, target indications, clinical requirements and regulatory pathways will be determined following engagement with the FDA and other applicable regulatory authorities.
There can be no assurance that CannEpil will receive Conditional Approval, full approval or any other regulatory authorization for veterinary use, or that any commercialization efforts will be successful.
