Egetis Therapeutics AB (publ)

Welcome to AGEDIS Therapeutics Q2 Report 2026. For the first part of the conference call, the participants will be in listen-only mode. During the questions and answers session, participants are able to ask questions by dialing pound key five on their telephone keypad. Now I will hand the conference over to CEO Nicholas Westerholm. Please go ahead.

Thank you, EVOperator. Good afternoon, good morning and a warm welcome to Aegitis Therapeutics Quarter 2 Results webcast, planned for the coming 30 minutes. For those who I haven't had the privilege to meet before, my name is Niklas Westerholm and I am the CEO of the company. I will start today's session with a short business update. This will be followed by Annie Bedard, President of our US and North American business, who will discuss the launch preparations for the planned MC-Tate launch in the US, subject to approval. Then Henrik Krook, Vice President Commercial Operations, will give a commercialization update of MC-Tate in the European Union, as well as other international markets. Finally, Yilmaz Masheed, Chief Financial Officer, will provide a financial update before we're looking ahead to the exciting upcoming key value enhancing milestones. We're aimed to leave ample time for Q&A at the end of the session. The most significant event during the first half of 2026 was the acceptance of our US New Drug Application, NDA, for MCTAID. The grant of a priority review by the FDA with a PDUFA date set for the 28th of September. So far, it has been a collaborative dialogue with the agency throughout the review. The FDA has confirmed that it expects to finish its review by the PDUFA date on the 28th of September and does not plan to hold an Advisory Committee meeting. Subject to approval, the MCTA launch in the US is planned for the fourth quarter this year. During the second quarter, we were also granted our first patent for MCT8 by the US Patent and Trademark Office. The patent provides protection for a novel composition with teratricol as the active ingredient. The claims cover, amongst other things, a method of treating MCT8 deficiency with the claimed pharmaceutical composition that encompasses teratricol, dosing regimes, and theoretical composition with specific excipients. This patent is a significant milestone in strengthening our intellectual property portfolio. We expect the granted patent to be Orange Book listable with an expiration date of 2045. The revenue for the fourth quarter was 17.4 million Swedish kronors, corresponding to year-on-year growth of 23% at constant exchange rate. As Henrik will describe further, the MCTA price negotiations within the German reimbursement process, Amnog, was successfully concluded in the second quarter. Furthermore in the quarter were also successfully carried out a substantially oversubscribed directed share issue amounting to 350 million Swedish kronor approximately 38 million US dollars at the closing price on Nasdaq Stockholm on the day of the raise We were particularly pleased to see strong participation from both existing shareholders and several new international specialist healthcare investors, which will further broaden our shareholder base. Last but not least, We're pleased to welcome Tiago Nunes, a very seasoned drug developer, as our new chief medical officer in May. One of Tiago's main tasks will be to drive MCT8's exciting indication expansion opportunity in resistance to thyroid hormone type beta forward in the short-term future. I will now hand over to Annie. Annie, please go ahead.

Thank you, Nick. Good afternoon and good morning, everyone. We're approaching an exciting milestone, one that could bring the first approved therapy to a community that has waited a long time for it. With fewer than 30 business days to the PDUFA date, our focus is now on disciplined execution to enable a US launch in Q4. Since our Q1 update, we've completed the build out of our US commercial organization. Our medical affairs and field team are fully trained and deployed, and an experienced team of rare disease professionals is now executing a single integrated launch plan. The organization is just over 20 employees to date, supplemented by specialized consultants and will scale to around 25 at launch. Launch readiness activities are advancing across all critical work streams depicted on this slide. The patient support services operating model has been established, payer engagements and value communication activities are underway, and specialty distribution and supply partners have been contracted. We continue to expand engagement with the specialist physicians most likely to diagnose and treat MCT8 deficiency. These are the pediatric endocrinologists, pediatric neurologists and geneticists, while expanding patient identification efforts to increase diagnosis and support long-term market development. Our continued engagement with patient advocacy organization helps increase disease awareness, support patient identification efforts, and inform our understanding of community needs. Our top priority at launch will be continuity of care for patients currently receiving Teratricol through the expanded access. ensuring a seamless transition to commercial supply, reduces the risk of treatment interruption, and supports initial commercial adoption. Today, approximately 60 patients across 17 sites nationwide are being treated under the Expanded Access Program, a number that continues to grow month over month. We're prepared to support each patient's transition across the key touchpoints, confirming the treating physicians, enabling prescription, and coordinating access support. This includes prescriber and caregiver education ahead of approval, along with affordability programs and bridging support designed to keep treatment access uninterrupted throughout the transition. We're also establishing coordination across physicians, the specialty pharmacy, patient services, and payers so any potential barrier can be identified and resolved quickly. In parallel, we'll continue to engage known patients not yet on therapy while expanding diagnosis and patient identification. With the organization built, the infrastructure being activated, and patient transition plans advancing, we believe the US business is positioned to execute at approval and deliver on a successful launch in Q4. Most importantly, we're doing this for a patient community that has had no approved therapy options to date, and we're really energized by the opportunity to change that. Thank you, and I will now turn it over to Henrik for an update on commercialization in Europe and international markets.

Thank you, Anne. For Europe and other international markets, Q2 was another quarter of progress for MCT with continued revenue growth, the conclusion of the German reimbursement process, and further expansion of access beyond our initial launch market. Revenue in Q2 was 17.4 million SEK with Germany as the largest contributor. This corresponds to 23% growth at constant exchange rates compared with Q2 last year and approximately 30% sequential growth compared with Q1. In Germany, the MNOG price negotiations with GKV were concluded during the quarter. We are pleased that the German authorities recognize the value of MCTate. The new negotiated price and further insights into daily dosing leads to an estimated average annual treatment cost just below 200,000 euros. This is an important step whilst we continue our field-based work with pediatric endocrinologists, pediatric neurologists, other specialist physicians and relevant treatment centers to develop the German market further. And here I would like to make a clarification, because one Swedish analyst has misunderstood how sales revenue is accounted for. In Germany, in May 2025, we started commercial sales based on an initial price. In line with how the German system works, our reported sales have reflected the final negotiated price based on our assumptions, meaning that all our reported sales revenues since November 2025 accounts for the final negotiated price. And beyond Germany, we are progressing toward reimbursed access in additional European countries. In Spain, the national pricing and reimbursement dossier has been submitted. In Italy and France, we plan to strengthen the value dossiers with MCTH survival data once it has been published in the peer-reviewed journal. At the same time, we continue to use funded access routes where available in other European countries, helping treatment reach patients through the most appropriate access pathway in each country. Internationally, we also see growing reach through our distribution partners. We are supported by Erkim in Turkey, plus Central Eastern and Southeastern Europe, and by Thay Barver in the Gulf region. Both Erkim and Taybarer are actively identifying patients and initiating the processes aiming for funded treatment, which contributed to name patient sales revenues in Poland and Turkey in the quarter. After the quarter, we also signed a collaboration and supply agreement with Orspec Pharma for Australia and New Zealand, further broadening the geographic reach for MCT. So, taken together, this reflects solid commercial progress. Germany now has an agreed reimbursed price. We are advancing funded pathways in key European countries, and our partner model is helping us reach patients in additional geographies. With that, I would like to hand over to our CFO, Ylmas.

Thank you, Henrik. To start with, all numbers, unless called out, are in our public currency, Swedish krona. Revenue for the first three months was 17.4 million versus 14.5 million in the same period last year, corresponding to a year-over-year growth of 23% in constant exchange rates. The gross profit is 3.6 million. This comes back to the continued depreciation of balance sheet R&D, a non-cash item. Excluding the quarterly depreciation of 10.1 million, gross profit would have been 13.7 million, corresponding to an adjusted gross margin of approximately 79%, which is considerably stronger than the 74% in the last quarter. As long as we are in an initial ramp-up phase in Europe, the depreciation will have a meaningful impact on the reported gross margin. However, we anticipate this to gradually dissipate as we start rolling out MCTA in the US post a potential FDA approval. Q2 2026 operating results were negative 109.3 million versus negative 78.5 million in the prior period. Just want to highlight that 5.6 million of the administrative costs are booked in the quarter are employee stock option plan related bookings and the non-cash item. This is a year-over-year delta of 12.5 million, as the Q2 2025 numbers included a positive booking of 6.9 million. Also, a one-time cost of approximately 4 million was booked during this quarter for social charges in connection with the ESOP exercise. These numbers would help you understand the underlying administrative cost line item during the quarter. Overall, the low results are due to our continued investments and the work with the US NDA, US Commercial Board and corresponding pre-launch activities. The management, the board and our main shareholders are all aligned that investing in the US is a key priority, as we believe this will be by far our most important market and where we need to succeed. For the second quarter, cash flow from operating activities were at negative 93.9 million versus negative 59 million. As highlighted in the report, we did strengthen the cash position further on April 21st. In total, we did raise 350 million, corresponding to approximately 38 million US dollars on a gross basis. The high demand for the shares offered were depicted by the fact that they were issued at a share price of 5.25, which correspond to a 0% discount to the market close the same day. With the cash from this transaction, we ended the quarter with a healthy cash position of 378 million, corresponding to approximately 40 million US dollars. With that, I would like to hand back to Niklas.

Thank you, Yilmaz. Let me summarize. And whilst reflecting for the first two quarters of 2026, I'm very proud to say that we have had several key deliverables that has been with a very successful outcome. Let me also remind you of the upcoming milestones for Vegitis. We have a PDUFA date set for the 28th of September. Subsequently, subject to approval, we expect to launch MCTate in the US in Q4, our most important market. Also worthwhile noting is being granted a priority review voucher upon approval, it is likely that monetization of such a priority review voucher could take place in Q4. of notice that PRV sold in 2026 have fetched between 180 and 220 million US dollars each. Last but not least, the preparation of indication expansion into RTH beta. Our next exciting pipeline opportunity is now progressing at pace. We are convening a scientific advisory board with key opinion leaders in the field to finalize the development program for MCTate in RTH Beta and are in parallel preparing for regulatory interactions to agree the overall development pathway with the aim of starting a clinical study during 2027. Of note is that we have today over 50 patients with RTH beta that are being treated with MCT8 as a part of a managed access program. In summary, we believe that the commercial opportunity here could be on par with the one for MCT8 deficiency. With that, I'll hand over to the operator for Q&A. Thank you.

If you wish to ask a question, please dial pound key 5 on your telephone keypad. To enter the queue, if you wish to withdraw your question, please dial pound key 6 on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from Kristin Kluska from Kander Fitzgerald. Please go ahead.

Hi, good afternoon everybody and congrats on all of the progress over this last quarter. While respecting you're still very much in active review with the FDA, can you give us any high-level feedback on the mid to late cycle meeting? Was there anything substantial that came up, anything that surprised you, for example?

Thank you, Kristin, and great to hear from you. Well, in essence, we, as always, don't communicate around ongoing regulatory interactions. Having said that, though, to give some more color, as mentioned during the call, it's been a very, very constructive and productive dialogue with the FDA. The FDA has also reiterated that they will hold true to the PDUFA date set on the 28th of September. They are not planning to hold an advisory committee. And of course, with respect to that, if something would have materially deviated with our internal plans, i.e. PDUFA 828, that would have been seen as material. And subsequently, we would have to notify the market. So I think all in all, internally, we are very pleased with the dialogues with the agency so far and looking forward to the PDUFA 828.

Okay, I appreciate those comments. Thank you. And then on the survival data, I know we could expect this perhaps in a peer-reviewed journal at some point, but can you just remind us, has the FDA reviewed these data yet? And I know you can't comment on all of the findings. to hold it for that journal but again like a high level what do those data perhaps include that you know haven't been reported again without getting into the specifics of findings. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Kristin. Again, I fully appreciate your question. Can't give too much more granularity on that, unfortunately. The data, as you mentioned, has not yet been published in the peer-reviewed journal. But as mentioned previously, both during calls like this and through reports, if you think about the new drug application that was submitted, it included data from numerous clinical studies, clinical trial, trial one, TRIAC TRIAL 2, THE RE-TRIAC STUDY, AND ALSO THE SURVIVAL STUDY. AND OF COURSE, THAT BEING PART OF A SUBMISSION PACKAGE, THE FDA HAVE REVIEWED AND LOOKED ACROSS THE DIFFERENT STUDIES TO PROVIDE A VIEW ON THE BENEFIT-RISK PROFILE OF THE DRUG.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU, KRISTEN.

The next question comes from Chiara Monteroni from Van Lanchet Kempen. Please go ahead.

Hello, team. Thanks for taking my question and congrats with the progress. So you now disclose that 60 patients are treated in the early access programs versus first 40 at the beginning of the year. I was wondering whether new 20 patients are previously identified patients or these are completely new diagnoses.

Thank you and you're absolutely right Chiara and thank you for your question by the way that at the start of the year we had roughly or approximately 40 patients on the EAP program so the progress here has been been very good. We have now around 60 patients as Annie mentioned enrolled. We don't give the granularity if these are patients newly identified or previously identified but I will invite Annie to comment further if any.

Yes, thank you. We have 17 sites across the country that are engaged in treating these patients pre-approval. And of course, these are now serving as reference sites for other physicians who identify patients. So having those physicians with experience with treating these patients and with teratrical, is significantly raising awareness across the other physicians and in the community. So that has been a contributor to having more patients wanting and requesting to join this program.

Clear, thank you. I appreciate the color. And if I may, a follow-up question. So if MCTate were to be approved in September, how long it will take to convert the early access program patients to the commercial product and which elements could delay the transition in your opinion.

Thank you, Karin. Of course, a very valid question. I think it's again here premature to comment on in detail around how long time it will take to transition the EAP patients over to commercial type patients. This is obviously something the team is working very hard on, mapping out different patient flows throughout the value chain. But I invite Dani to comment somewhat further if you can add some more granularity to this.

Yes, so this will be a main priority for us because we want to make sure that treatment is uninterrupted for those patients. And as it is standard in rare disease, we'll have affordability support and bridge mechanisms in place in order to safeguard this continuity of care. And as we're doing that, we'll be in close communication with the physicians and with the payers as well. And as Nick mentioned, we're not gonna go into the detail at this time on specific number of days for transition, but that will be the core focus of our activities at the time of the launch. and we anticipate that this will be successful.

And maybe to build on further rest, to show Kiara that this is a key priority, just reiterating what Annie said before, for the organization to ensure a very swift, smooth, coordinated transition from the expanded access program to commercial supply, obviously driven to a certain extent by minimize treatment disruption, but also support earliest commercial uptake once approved. So thank you for the question, Kiara.

Of course.

The next question comes from Clemence Thier from Stifel. Please go ahead. Hi.

Thanks for the presentation and thank you for taking my question. Just a bit of focus on Europe. Might be a candid question, but regarding the price in Germany, you mentioned just below €200,000, right? Can you confirm that this is a negotiated reimbursement price? And obviously you can disclose anything. Do you expect a material difference with the net price?

That would be the first question.

Thank you, Clemence. I can start and I invite Henrik to comment. As we mentioned during the launch process May 2025, the estimated average annual treatment cost per patient was just above €200,000 per patient per annum. With the new negotiated price and further insights about daily dosing, which is an important component looking at annual treatment costs, the average annual treatment cost now is estimated to be just below €200,000. We don't go into sharing any confidential rebates, etc., but this is based on the list price available for pharmacies in Germany.

Okay, perfect. Thank you. And maybe looking ahead on RTH-BETA, as you finalize the development plan, can you say... Sorry, am I interrupting?

No, no, not at all. I got so excited about the question.

I was saying, can you say at this stage what an approvable program could look like in terms of number and size of studies, endpoints, and how much of the existing MCTA technical and safety package could helps us streamline that program?

Sure, Clémence, that's a really good question and I got so excited by you asking it since this is a very important feature of the long-term future of the company building a sustainable rare disease organization. It's somewhat premature to comment on some of the questions you had there. What we're doing today is that we're in the last stages of finalizing a target product profile, a clinical development plan. As I mentioned, we are convening an advisory board of key opinion leaders, which will be gathering face to face around the European Thyroid Association Conference in Portugal in September. Subsequent to that we have an ambition to finalize the design and start engaging with FDA and EMA on the regulatory pathway. The ambition here is of course to utilize as much data as possible from MCTA deficiency when it comes to safety database we have a Huge SAFETY DATABASE WITH SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF YEARS WITH PATIENT EXPOSURE. SO THAT IS OF COURSE SOMETHING TO BE UTILIZED FURTHER IN THE RTH BETA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. THE SAME GOES FOR NONCLINICAL AND THE STUDIES BEING CARRIED OUT THERE AHEAD OF THE U.S. APPROVAL. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, IT'S A BIT PREMATURE TO COMMENT ON END POINTS, SAMPLE SIZE, NUMBER OF CENTERS, ETC. But rest assured, that is something we'll update the market on as soon as we have concluded that internally.

Okay, perfect. Thank you so much.

Thank you. And I think that brings us to the end of the call. We appreciate your participation and wish you a great rest of the day. Thank you.
