"We are executing well on our integrated financial, commercial and development strategy that maximizes LOQTORZI’s potential in NPC and in combination with our pipeline products." said Denny Lanfear, Coherus Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We also continue to explore opportunities across cancers and non-proprietary novel combinations with tagmokitug, our potentially best-in-class CCR8 Treg depleter, and are encouraged given our previously reported clinical data including anti-tumor activity, safety data, tumor biomarker data and PK data."

"Casdozokitug is the only known clinical stage IL-27 antagonist, and the first line HCC study in combination with LOQTORZI is now fully enrolled. We are tracking to initial data around mid-year." said Rosh Dias, MD, Chief Medical Officer. "The tagmokitug program is also on track, with continued enrollment across all cohorts. We also continue to progress the first-in-class pasritamig combination study in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which we anticipate initiating in the fall. We are on target for multiple data readouts as planned in 2026."

RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

LOQTORZI (toripalimab-tpzi) Commercial Updates

● LOQTORZI revenue for Q1 2026 was $11.8 million, a 61% increase over $7.3 million in Q1 2025, and a 5% decrease versus the $12.4 million in Q4 2025, driven by the impact of severe weather events in Q1 as well as normal seasonality.
● Encouragingly, Q1 saw the highest volume of new patient starts to date. New patient starts came from increased breadth from new account starts and greater depth from prior ordering accounts. It is important to note that average duration of treatment among existing patients also continued to grow.
● LOQTORZI remains the only FDA-approved and available treatment in the U.S. for recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) representing an estimated overall $250 million addressable market.
● Commercial focus in 2026 is on educating physicians that LOQTORZI is:
o the only approved and available therapy for R/M nasopharyngeal carcinoma;

o the only preferred Category 1 first-line treatment option recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine; and
o the only preferred subsequent-line treatment recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
We will continue to appropriately communicate the six-year overall survival (OS) follow-up results from the Phase 3 JUPITER-02 trial evaluating LOQTORZI plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.

ADVANCEMENT OF INNOVATIVE, NEXT-GENERATION ONCOLOGY PIPELINE

Tagmokitug is a highly selective cytolytic CCR8 antibody that specifically binds and preferentially depletes CCR8+ tumor regulatory T cells (Tregs) with no off-target binding. Preclinical and clinical biomarker research published in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, show that tagmokitug demonstrates no off-target binding and selectively and significantly eliminates CCR8+ T regulatory cells, with a pronounced increase in intratumoral CD8 T cells, enabling the presence of tumor killing T cells.

● The Phase 1b tagmokitug/toripalimab combination dose optimization studies in 2L HNSCC and 2L upper GI adenocarcinoma cancers are underway, with initial data readouts expected in mid-2026.
● A Phase 1b study evaluating the tagmokitug/toripalimab combination, with and without chemotherapy, in 1L and 2L esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), respectively, is underway with a first data readout expected in 2H 2026.
● A Phase 1b/2a study evaluating tagmokitug/toripalimab combination in 4L+ colorectal cancer is enrolling patients and initial data is expected in 2H 2026.
● A Phase 1b clinical study in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in combination with pasritamig, a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2026.
Casdozokitug is a first-in-class IL-27 antagonistic antibody currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 study in patients with first line unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) to assess treatment benefit, safety and response biomarkers. Data presented during ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) GI 2025 demonstrated a 38% overall response rate and a 17% complete response rate with the addition of casdozokitug to the current standard of care.

● Enrollment is complete in the randomized Phase 2 trial of casdozokitug/toripalimab/bevacizumab in 1L uHCC and the first data readout is expected in mid-2026.
EQUITY FINANCING

● During the first quarter of 2026, Coherus sold 32,890,000 shares of its common stock in a public offering, including 4,290,000 shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full for proceeds of $53.6 million, net of underwriters’ discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net revenue from continuing operations was $12.3 million and $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. LOQTORZI net product revenue increased $4.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven primarily by volume growth of LOQTORZI.

Cost of goods sold (COGS) from continuing operations was $3.8 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily due to volume growth of LOQTORZI.

Research and development (R&D) expenses from continuing operations were $21.5 million and $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to savings from reduced headcount and lower infrastructure costs, partially offset by increased development costs for casdozokitug.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from continuing operations were $23.1 million and $26.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was driven primarily by lower headcount and decreased operating costs resulting from Coherus completing the exit from the biosimilar business in 2025.

Net (loss) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $36.9 million, or $(0.27) per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $47.4 million, or $(0.41) per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2025.

Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $33.9 million, or $(0.25) per share on a diluted basis, compared to $40.9 million, or $(0.35) per share for the same period in 2025. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion on how Coherus calculates non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $167.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $172.1 million as of December 31, 2025. These balances were inclusive of Transition Service Agreement (TSA)-related collections that will be applied to associated TSA payables and accrued liabilities which totaled $61.6 million and $65.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

First Quarter Highlights:
Revenue was $106.9 million, compared to $106.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing growth of 1%.
Software revenue was $49.7 million, compared to $46.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing growth of 7%.
Services revenue was $57.2 million, compared to $59.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 4%.
Net loss was $8.8 million, compared to a net income of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 285%.
Adjusted EBITDA was $31.7 million, compared to $34.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 9%.
"I am pleased with the progress we made in my first quarter at Certara," said Jon Resnick, Chief Executive Officer. "We are taking decisive steps to sharpen our execution and position Certara for long-term growth, including divesting our Medical Writing business, reorganizing around two focused growth areas, and accelerating our enterprise-wide AI program. Together, these actions strengthen our ability to transform drug development and deliver greater value to our customers and shareholders."

"Our first quarter performance reflects improvement in software, which came in above plan across key metrics. Services performance was mixed, reflecting execution and go-to-market challenges that we expect to resolve during the second half of the year," said John Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer. "With the divestiture of our Regulatory and Medical Writing Business, we expect the mix of software and services revenue to be approximately even. Our updated 2026 guidance reflects the impact of the divestiture during the second quarter, and revenue growth expectations of 0% – 4% excluding the Regulatory and Medical Writing Business."

First Quarter 2026 Results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $106.9 million, representing year-over-year growth of 1% on a reported basis. Software revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $49.7 million, representing year-over-year growth of 7% on a reported basis. Services revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $57.2 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 4% on a reported basis.

Total Bookings for the first quarter of 2026 were $115.3 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 2%.

Software Bookings for the first quarter of 2026 were $48.7 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 20%. The increase in software bookings was attributable to strong customer demand across our platform.

Services Bookings for the first quarter of 2026 were $66.6 million, representing a year-over-year decrease of 14%. The decrease in services bookings was primarily driven by the timing of contract recognition and execution.

Total cost of revenues for the first quarter of 2026 was $41.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million from $41.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Cost levels were consistent with the same quarter in the prior year.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $69.6 million, which increased by $12.7 million from $56.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Higher operating expenses were primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in business acquisition contingent consideration expense, a $2.8 million increase in employee-related costs, a $1.0 million increase in equipment and software expenses, a $0.9 million increase in executive recruiting and retention expenses, a $0.8 million increase in lease abandonment expense, primarily due to the absence of a non-recurring gain recognized in the prior year that reduced expenses in that period, and a $0.8 million increase in amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by higher capitalized R&D costs.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $8.8 million, compared to a net income of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The $13.5 million decrease in net income was primarily driven by higher operating expenses, increased tax expenses, and increased total other expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.

Diluted loss per share for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.06, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.03 in the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was $31.7 million compared to $34.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $3.1 million. See note (1) in the section titled "A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for more information on adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $14.5 million compared to $22.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $7.7 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.09, compared to $0.14 for the first quarter of 2025. See note (2) in the section titled "A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for more information on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Divestiture of global medical writing and related regulatory services business:
On May 08, 2026, we completed the sale of our global medical writing and related regulatory services business to Veristat, LLC for cash consideration of $85.0 million, with an additional $15.0 million placed in escrow and to be released to the Company upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing covenants, and additional contingent consideration of up to $35.0 million in the form of an earn-out based on the financial performance of such business for a specified period following closing. Net proceeds from the transaction are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding our ongoing operations.

2026 Financial Outlook
Certara is updating its guidance for the full year 2026, to reflect the completed divestiture of the Regulatory and Medical Writing Business:

Full year 2026 revenue is expected to be $395 million – $405 million, including Regulatory and Medical Writing revenue of approximately $18 million.
Growth excluding the Regulatory and Medical Writing Business is expected to be 0% – 4%.
Full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 30% – 32%, including contribution from the Regulatory and Medical Writing business.
Full year adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.35 – $0.41.
Fully diluted shares are expected to be in the range of 157 million – 159 million.
Please note that the Company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin 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.

"The interim pivotal data published by Allogene on cema-cel, a product originally developed by Cellectis as UCART19, are a proud validation of our vision: that allogeneic, off-the-shelf cell therapy candidates could deliver transformative outcomes for cancer patients. We believe this approach has the potential to dramatically expand access to CAR-T beyond what autologous therapies can reach today" said André Choulika, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cellectis. "As we look ahead to Q4 2026, with the expected interim pivotal Phase 2 data for lasme-cel in relapsed or refractory B-ALL, and the full Phase 1 dataset for eti-cel in relapsed or refractory NHL, Cellectis is approaching its own defining moment. We are excited about what lies ahead."

Allogeneic CAR-T Pipeline

Lasme-cel in relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL) – BALLI-01

The Pivotal Phase 2 BALLI-01 trial is ongoing.

Phase 1 data highlights :

100% ORR in the target Phase 2 population
83% overall response rate (ORR) at recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D)
In target Phase 2 population: all patients became eligible to transplant
Favorable safety profile: low rates of ≥ grade 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) at 2.5% and 5% respectively
14.8 months median overall survival (OS) in patients who achieved minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission with incomplete hematology recovery (CR/CRi)
The first interim analysis for the pivotal Phase 2 of the BALLI-01 trial is expected in Q4 2026 (n=40). Cellectis anticipates submitting a Biologics License Application (BLA) in 2028.

Eti-cel in relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r NHL) – NATHALI-01

The Phase 1 NATHALI-01 trial is ongoing.

Preliminary Phase 1 data highlights:

At current dose level: 88% ORR, 63% complete response (CR) rate after 2+ prior lines of therapy
93% of subjects had prior CD19 CAR-T
Cellectis expects to present the full Phase 1 dataset in Q4 2026, including results from the low dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) combination cohorts.

TALE-based epigenetic editing platform to turn genes off without altering DNA

On April 27, 2026, Cellectis announced new research on a TALE-based epigenetic editing approach, that does not cut or permanently modify the DNA sequence, making it a potentially safer alternative for genome editing, at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) annual meeting, that is taking place on May 11-15, 2026.
Key data highlights:

Cellectis developed TALEM (Transcription Activator-Like Effector-based epigenetic Modulators), engineered fusion proteins that precisely target genomic loci to switch genes on or off through epigenetic editing, without cutting or permanently modifying the DNA sequence. Using a high-throughput screening system capable of rapidly assembling and testing hundreds of TALEM candidates, Cellectis demonstrated >90% stable gene silencing across two distinct targets: a gene highly expressed in liver cells and a gene implicated in T-cell exhaustion, a key challenge in cancer immunotherapy.
The abstract is live on the ASGCT (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) website. The poster will be available on Cellectis’ website on May 13, 2026 at 5 pm ET.

Partnerships

AstraZeneca – Joint Research and Collaboration Agreement

Activities are continuing under the Joint Research and Collaboration Agreement with AstraZeneca, which leverages Cellectis’ gene editing expertise and manufacturing capabilities to develop up to 10 novel cell and gene therapy products for areas of high unmet medical need, including oncology, immunology and rare genetic disorders.
Servier (through its sublicensee Allogene) – Anti-CD19 CAR-T

Cema-cel is a product candidate licensed to Servier under the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement signed by and between les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier ("Servier") and Cellectis (the "Servier Agreement") and sublicensed by Servier to Allogene in certain territories.

On April 13, 2026, Cellectis highlighted the interim pivotal data announced by Allogene, from Allogene’s sponsored ALPHA3 trial evaluating cema-cel in first-line consolidation for large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Cema-cel is derived from the UCART19 product initially developed by Cellectis.
Key data highlights reported by Allogene:

The futility analysis (n=24) showed that 58.3% of patients in the cema-cel arm achieved MRD negativity versus 16.7% in the observation arm, a 41.6% absolute difference. Allogene reported that based on specific benchmark literature, a difference of 25-30% in the MRD clearance could translate into meaningful clinical benefit at study completion.
The cema-cel treatment was generally well-tolerated, with most patients (10/12) managed on an outpatient basis post-infusion and no cases of CRS, ICANS, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), treatment-related Serious Adverse Events and no hospitalizations for treatment-related Adverse Events.
Allogene announced that study accrual is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2027 and that it anticipates an interim Event-Free Survival (EFS) analysis in mid-2027 and the primary EFS analysis in mid-2028. If positive, Allogene announced that these results could support a BLA submission.
Under the Servier Agreement, Cellectis is eligible to up to $340 million in development and sales milestones as well as low double-digit royalties on sales of licensed CD19 products, including cema-cel developed in LBCL.

Iovance

In May 2026, Iovance announced that a Phase 1/2 trial, IOV-GM1-201, is enrolling using IOV-4001, a PD-1 inactivated TIL therapy, in previously treated advanced melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Subsequent events

On April 20, 2026, Life Technologies Corporation ("LTC"), a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher, purported to terminate license agreements between LTC and Cellectis in 2014, which grant Cellectis non-exclusive rights under certain patents, the Halle Patent Therapeutic License, the Halle Patent Research License, and the GeneArt and Seamless Cloning Patent Therapeutic License (the « LTC Agreements »). This purported termination follows TFS’s allegations that we failed to comply with our obligations under the LTC Agreements, as previously disclosed. Simultaneously therewith, LTC commenced an arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, naming Cellectis S.A. and Cellectis Bioresearch, Inc. as Respondents. LTC’s arbitration demand alleges that Cellectis has breached the LTC License Agreements by underpaying sublicense royalties and otherwise failing to comply with our obligations under the LTC Agreements. According to us, this termination is invalid and LTC’s claims under this arbitration demand are without merit.
Financial Results

Cash: As of March 31, 2026, Cellectis had $188 million in consolidated cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and fixed-term deposits classified as current financial assets. The Company believes its cash, cash equivalents and fixed-term deposits will be sufficient to fund its operations into Q4 2027.

This compares to $211 million in consolidated cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and fixed-term deposits classified as current financial assets as of December 31, 2025. The $23 decrease was mainly driven by cash inflows of $13.0 million from revenue and $2.9 million of interest received from our financial and cash-equivalent investments, offset by payments to suppliers of $14.5 million, payroll-related payments (wages, bonuses and social charges) totaling $18.6 million, lease liability payments of $3.4 million, repayment of $1.4 million under the "PGE" loan, and capital expenditures of $0.3 million.

We currently foresee focusing our cash spending at Cellectis in supporting the development of our pipeline of product candidates, including the manufacturing and clinical trial expenses of lasme-cel, eti-cel and potential new product candidates, and operating our state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities in Paris (France) and Raleigh (North Carolina).

Revenues and Other Income: Consolidated revenues and other income were $7.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.0 million for the same period in 2025. This $4.5 million decrease between the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 was mainly attributable to a $4.9 million decrease in revenues driven by the evolution of activities performed under the AZ JRCA.

R&D Expenses: Consolidated R&D expenses were $27.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $21.9 million for the same period in 2025, representing an increase of $5.3 million, mainly due to a $3.6 million increase in personnel expenses and a $2.0 million increase in purchases and external expenses.

SG&A Expenses: Consolidated SG&A expenses were $5.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2025. The $0.9 million increase was mainly due to a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses and related social charges as well as a $0.4 million increase in purchases and other expenses.

Net financial gain (loss): We had a consolidated net financial gain of $7.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to a $3.9 million net financial loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This $11.4 million increase in net financial result reflects a $5.6 million increase in financial income and a $5.8 million decrease in financial expenses. The rise in financial income was mainly attributable to (i) a $4.5 million increase in non-cash gains on fair value measurements primarily explained by a $6.5 million gain on the fair value measurement of the Tranches A, B and C of EIB warrants in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a $1.8 million gain in the three months ended March 31, 2025, (ii) a $2.0 million increase in foreign exchange gains, partially offset by (iii) a $1.1 million decrease in income from cash, cash equivalents and financial assets. The decrease in financial expenses was mainly due to a (i) $6.5 million decrease in foreign exchange loss, partially offset by (ii) a $0.2 million increase in interests on financial liabilities.

Net Income (loss) Attributable to Shareholders of Cellectis: Consolidated net loss attributable to shareholders of Cellectis was $17.8 million (or a $0.18 loss per share) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to a $18.1 million net loss (or a $0.18 loss per share) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The $0.4 million decrease in net loss was primarily driven by (i) a $11.4 million improvement in net financial result, from a net financial loss of $3.9 million as of March 31, 2025 to a net financial gain of $7.4 million as of March 31, 2026, partly offset by (ii) a $11.0 million increase in operating loss.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders of Cellectis: Consolidated adjusted net loss attributable to shareholders of Cellectis was $16.1 million (or a $0.16 loss per share) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $17.2 million (or a $0.17 loss per share) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Cellectis have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

"This was an important quarter for AN2 as we announced an exciting new program in polycythemia vera that is planned to enter Phase 2 development in the third quarter of 2026. This program is supported by what we believe is a robust package of epetraborole preclinical and clinical enabling data. We commenced an investigator-initiated Phase 2 study in M. abscessus lung disease, completed dosing in a Phase 1 study for our Chagas disease program, and declared our ENPP1 candidate for the treatment of solid tumors, as well as strengthened our balance sheet," said Eric Easom, Co-Founder, Chairman, President and CEO of AN2 Therapeutics. "Looking ahead, we expect to advance three programs into Phase 2 development this year and report multiple data readouts within our cash runway into 2029. I couldn’t be more excited about our progress and the potential to substantially improve the lives of patients across our diverse portfolio that is enabled by our boron chemistry pipeline."

First Quarter & Recent Business Updates:

Polycythemia vera

Advancing oral epetraborole into a Phase 2 trial for polycythemia vera

In March 2026, the Company outlined plans to expand the development of oral epetraborole into a Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical study in adults with phlebotomy-dependent polycythemia vera (PV). PV is a blood cancer characterized by overproduction of red blood cells in the bone marrow. This overproduction increases hematocrit, which can lead to serious medical complications, including arterial and venous thromboembolic events. If untreated, PV can be life-threatening. Despite available therapies, such as burdensome periodic therapeutic phlebotomies, many patients experience uncontrolled hematocrit levels and persistent symptoms, requiring long-term management to maintain adequate disease control. PV is estimated to affect approximately 155,000 people in the U.S.

The Company is proceeding through the regulatory process and plans to initiate the Phase 2 clinical trial in the third quarter of 2026. Subject to regulatory clearance and enrollment progress, the Company expects to provide periodic data readouts beginning as early as the fourth quarter of 2026 and throughout 2027.
M. abscessus complex lung disease

Commenced Phase 2 investigator-initiated clinical trial of epetraborole in patients with M. abscessus lung disease

Building on the microbiological and safety data from AN2’s prior non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) study, the Company believes that epetraborole has the potential to address a critical unmet need in M. abscessus lung disease, one of the most difficult-to-treat NTM infections and one for which no FDA-approved therapy exists. M. abscessus lung disease is a serious NTM infection requiring prolonged therapy, initially often with IV-only antibiotics. People affected by this illness face limited, burdensome treatment options and high rates of morbidity and 5-year mortality. NTM lung disease represents a growing global health concern. It is estimated that approximately 120,000–150,000 people in the U.S. are living with NTM lung disease, of which 10-15% are caused by M. abscessus.

The Company is supporting an investigator-initiated trial and anticipates that data from this study, if positive, could provide clinical proof-of-concept in M. abscessus lung disease and thereby inform the design of a subsequent pivotal trial. Patient screening commenced in March 2026. The multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical study is being led by Dr. Kevin Winthrop, Professor of Public Health and Infectious Diseases at the Oregon Health and Sciences University, in conjunction with other investigators across an estimated 10-15 sites in the U.S. The Company anticipates reporting topline results in late 2027, subject to regulatory clearance and enrollment progress.
Chagas disease

Oral AN2-502998: Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial and non-human primate data expected 2Q/2026; Phase 2 proof-of-concept study planned to initiate in 2026 pending results of Phase 1 study

In March 2026, the Company completed dosing all cohorts in the Phase 1 first-in-human trial of oral AN2-502998, an investigational, boron-based small molecule in development for the treatment of chronic Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company anticipates reporting Phase 1 data from this study, as well as results from a non-human primate (NHP) study that tested the curative potential of AN2-502998 with a 28-day dosing duration. AN2-502998 is the only compound of which the Company is aware to have demonstrated curative activity in preclinical studies across multiple species, including in NHPs with long-term, naturally acquired, chronic infections caused by diverse T. cruzi genetic types. Because NHP infections are naturally acquired in the environment, these efficacy data may be more predictive of efficacy in human clinical trials than other animal models. The Company expects to initiate a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in adults with chronic Chagas disease later in 2026, pending results of the Phase 1 study.
Boron chemistry pipeline

Declared ENPP1 candidate for the potential treatment of solid tumors

The Company is prioritizing targets in oncology and bone disorders for which boron chemistry may offer a competitive advantage in terms of binding-site differentiation, pharmacodynamics, drug-like properties, and intellectual property, including initially ENPP1 and PI3Kα. The unique binding modes of boron-containing compounds enable the discovery of inhibitors with high ligand efficiency against targets considered undruggable or difficult to access with traditional chemistry approaches. Boron chemistry has produced first-in-class molecules against a number of targets including CPSF3 (AN2-502998 and acoziborole) and LeuRS (epetraborole, ganfeborole and tavaborole). The Company has discovered preclinical compounds with profiles that are sub-nanomolar, highly selective and characterized by excellent oral pharmacokinetics. The Company recently declared its ENPP1 candidate for the treatment of solid tumors, marking an important step in transitioning the program from early research into development.
Selected First Quarter Financial Results

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $6.7 million, compared to $7.7 million for the same period during 2025 due to decreased chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC) expenses, primarily due to decreased expenses related to completion of CMC activities in certain programs, and license fees. These decreases were partially offset by increases in personnel-related expenses, clinical trial expenses, consulting and outside services, and facilities and other expenses.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses for the first quarter of 2026 and the same period during 2025 were $3.8 million.
Interest Income: Interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.5 million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period during 2025 due to lower average cash, cash equivalents and investment balances and lower interest rates in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Net Loss: Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.0 million, compared to $10.6 million for the same period during 2025.
Cash Position: The Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $85.3 million at March 31, 2026. In March 2026, AN2 raised gross proceeds of $40.0 million through a private placement, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. The Company projects that existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments will sustain operations into 2029 under the current operating plan.
