Speaker #3: Guided by the execution of our plan and demonstrating our values, 2025 was a banner year with net revenue of $106.5 million. Driven by the performance of MyPlypha.

Neil F. McFarlane: Guided by the execution of our plan and demonstrating our values, 2025 was a banner year with net revenue of $106.5 million, driven by the performance of MIPLYFFA, which delivered $87.4 million in revenue. Specifically in Q4, we generated $34.1 million in total net revenue, which included $26.4 million from MIPLYFFA sales. This momentum set the stage for multiple growth drivers in 2026. Our success was reflected in the strong commercial performance of MIPLYFFA, with 24 prescription enrollment forms received in Q4, bringing the total in the first full year of commercialization to 52 enrollment forms at a total of 161 enrollments since launch.

Speaker #3: Bringing the total in the first full year of commercialization to 52 enrollment forms, and a total of 161 enrollments since launch. MyPlypha is our foundational treatment for Niemann-Pick disease type C.

Neil F. McFarlane: MIPLYFFA is our foundational treatment for Niemann-Pick disease type C, or NPC, this increasing penetration means that more patients are gaining access to the therapy they need. Importantly, this growth is being driven by previously diagnosed patients and increasingly by newly diagnosed patients. This trend reinforces our confidence in the estimated US prevalence of approximately 900 affected individuals, of whom 300 to 350 are currently diagnosed. Later on the call, Josh will review some of the initiatives that are fueling our traction in the identification of newly diagnosed patients. As a reminder, MIPLYFFA has exclusivity in the US through 2031 under the Orphan Drug Designation, we are diligently pursuing a patent term extension, which is currently under review by the US Patent Office. It's important to note that additional exclusivity would represent positive upside to our existing runway.

Speaker #3: We're expanding access to MyPlypha, or arimoclomol, beyond the US through our global expanded access program, or EAP, which had 113 patients enrolled at the end of 2025.

Neil F. McFarlane: We're expanding access to MIPLYFFA or arimoclomol beyond the US through our global expanded access program or EAP, which had 113 patients enrolled at the end of 2025. Over the past year, we've built a strong reputation across Europe, in particular through our global EAP, enabling clinicians to gain firsthand experience with arimoclomol. In Q4, we established a new distribution agreement to extend the global EAP to select territories outside of Europe and initiated shipments of named patient supply prior to year-end. As is common with these types of distribution agreements, we anticipate variability in ordering patterns and the rate of new enrollments in the first few years until the patient base has stabilized. We're pleased with the rapid execution by our partner to ensure swift delivery to patients.

Neil F. McFarlane: Importantly, in late July of last year, we submitted our Marketing Authorisation Application to the European Medicines Agency, supported by a robust data package, including our pivotal Phase 2/3 trial, open label extension study, expanded access programs, and our pediatric sub-study. As a part of the standard review process, we received a 120-day list of questions from the EU regulators at the end of 2025. At this time, we are fully prepared to respond to these questions within the regulatory 90-day clock stop period and look forward to our continued engagement with the agency to make arimoclomol available to the EU NPC community. In Europe, NPC prevalence is estimated at approximately 1,100 individuals, and our current EAP is supporting nearly 10% of this population.

Speaker #3: In Europe, NPC prevalence is estimated at approximately 1,100 individuals, and our current EAP is supporting nearly 10% of this population. Diagnosis rates are significantly higher than in the U.S., due in large part to the European approval of Miglustat for the treatment of NPC.

Neil F. McFarlane: Diagnosis rates are significantly higher than in the US, due in large part to the European approval of miglustat for the treatment of NPC, which provided a clear treatment pathway and has led to stronger physician awareness and higher patient identification. As we continue expanding access and strengthening relationships with key opinion leaders, we are well-positioned to maximize our commercial impact in Europe through strategic partnerships or independently. Beyond MIPLYFFA, we're advancing celiprolol for the treatment of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or vEDS, a rare inherited connective tissue disorder caused by COL3A1 gene mutations. These mutations lead to defects in type III procollagen in the walls of blood vessels and hollow organs, resulting in arterial dissections and organ ruptures. In the US, approximately 7,500 individuals have been diagnosed with vEDS. Celiprolol acts as a selective adrenoceptor modulator, reducing mechanical stress on collagen fibers.

Speaker #3: In the US, approximately 7,500 individuals have been diagnosed with VEDS. SlipWall acts as a selective adrenal receptor modulator, reducing mechanical stress on collagen fibers.

Speaker #3: Data on SlipWall generated outside of the US, including results from the BBEST study and two long-term European cohorts, demonstrated a reduction in major vascular events and improved overall survival among patients receiving treatment.

Neil F. McFarlane: Data on celiprolol generated outside of the US, including results from the B-BEST study and two long-term European cohorts, demonstrated a reduction in major vascular events and improved overall survival among patients receiving treatment. Our ongoing Phase III DiSCOVER study designed to confirm the clinical benefit observed in prior studies. We enrolled 8 patients in Q4, bringing the total number of enrolled patients at year-end to 52 of the planned 150 patients to be enrolled in the study, and 1 confirmed event out of the 28 events required to trigger the interim analysis. We are continuing to implement strategies to boost our enrollment, including building a network of genetic testing centers to help diagnose individuals with vEDS, as well as connecting with specialists that care for these patients, such as the vascular surgeons who intervene when a patient experiences an event.

Speaker #3: It was a powerful tribute to the patients who inspire our mission and drive us forward every day. It's especially important to connect with the community, and during the month, we also held an all-hands meeting where we had the privilege of hearing from a mother of two children with NPC.

Neil F. McFarlane: It was a powerful tribute to the patients who inspire our mission and drive us forward every day. It's especially important to connect with the community. During the month, we also held an all-hands meeting where we had the privilege of hearing from a mother of two children with NPC.

Speaker #3: Josh?

Speaker #4: Thank you, Neil. And good afternoon. We are thrilled by the commercial performance and the momentum we are seeing in the US enrollment forms in 2025 and 24 of them received in the fourth quarter, as well as our strong refill rate, we are building confidence in the continued growth and long-term potential of MyPlypha.

Joshua Schafer: Thank you, Neil. Good afternoon. We are thrilled by the commercial performance and the momentum we are seeing in the US market. With 52 prescription enrollment forms in 2025, 24 of them received in Q4, as well as our strong refill rate, we are building confidence in the continued growth and long-term potential of MIPLYFFA. We believe this reflects the compelling clinical benefit demonstrated by MIPLYFFA as the only disease-modifying therapy for NPC shown to have both a rapid onset of improvement within 12 weeks of treatment and to halt NPC progression at 12 months with durable efficacy and safety maintained for more than 5 years. This clinical differentiation is resonating across stakeholders and is catalyzing adoption of MIPLYFFA. We are seeing strong adherence to therapy once a patient begins treatment, similar to what we observed in the long-term US EAP.

Speaker #4: Similar to what we observed in the long-term U.S. EAP. As a reminder, NPC is a devastating and often fatal genetic disorder, caused by mutations that impair intracellular lipid transport.

Joshua Schafer: As a reminder, NPC is a devastating and often fatal genetic disorder caused by mutations that impair intracellular lipid transport. As a result, cholesterol and other lipids progressively accumulate within cells, leading to widespread neurological and organ dysfunction. NPC is clinically heterogeneous, with significant variability in symptom presentation and rate of progression. Although it has traditionally been considered a pediatric disease due to its genetic origins, approximately half of the people treated with MIPLYFFA are adults, underscoring the need to recognize NPC across the lifespan. As Neil mentioned, the growth we saw in the Q4 was driven not only by the increased adoption among previously diagnosed patients, but also meaningfully by people who were previously undiagnosed. This progress within the newly diagnosed segment strengthens our confidence in the overall market potential.

Speaker #4: This progress within the newly diagnosed segment strengthens our confidence in the overall market potential. We attribute this success to our three-pronged approach to education and diagnosis.

Joshua Schafer: We attribute this success to our three-pronged approach to education and diagnosis through our disease awareness campaign, called Learn NPC, Read Between the Signs, our custom AI-driven targeting model, and our collaboration with providers of genetic tests to confirm diagnosis. Our disease awareness campaign has become a trusted go-to resource to effectively educate the community on the need for early detection and treatment of NPC, whether through engagement at medical congresses or providing resources for individuals seeking reliable information online. Additionally, we have developed a bespoke AI predictive model to identify potential patients who may be misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Using claims data and electronic health records, we analyze the symptoms and diagnosis and treatment journeys of patients who are confirmed to have NPC. We apply these insights to a broader claims database to find undiagnosed patients with similar profiles.

Speaker #4: And we recently expanded our partnership with GeneDx, which adds to our existing collaborations with companies that provide genetic testing to confirm a diagnosis of those suspected to have NPC, serving to accelerate time to diagnosis and new patient identification.

Joshua Schafer: We recently expanded our partnership with GeneDx, which adds to our existing collaborations with companies that provide genetic testing to confirm a diagnosis of those suspected to have NPC, serving to accelerate time to diagnosis and new patient identification. Eligible patients will be able to receive GeneDx's ExomeDx test at no charge, and results will be provided to clinicians and their patients in as little as 3 weeks to facilitate clinical decision-making. This strategy revealed a number of unique patients who match these patterns and were previously unknown, allowing us to engage physicians with targeted education, turning data into action and giving newly identified patients a chance for earlier intervention in their disease. We continue to educate the community on our robust clinical data and differentiated mechanism of action. At the WORLDSymposium last month, we presented 4 posters highlighting new data on MIPLYFFA.

Speaker #4: The growing body of evidence continues to support the impressive results we saw in our clinical trials, reinforced by the long-term real-world data we are generating.

Joshua Schafer: The growing body of evidence continues to support the impressive results we saw in our clinical trials, reinforced by the long-term real-world data we are generating. There were multiple presentations resulting from the data generated through our US EAP program. In a multi-year subgroup analysis of participants with up to four years of follow-up, MIPLYFFA demonstrated durable treatment effects, sustained clinical benefit and safety, with significant patient adherence over that time. At WORLDSymposium, we also presented new analyses evaluating the adult NPC population and found those treated with arimoclimol in the US EAP showed disease stabilization over the four years while maintaining a favorable safety profile consistent with the broader results. Importantly, our market access strategies remain strong, and we continue to drive access for our patients.

Josh Schafer: The growing body of evidence continues to support the impressive results we saw in our clinical trials, reinforced by the long-term real-world data we are generating. There were multiple presentations resulting from the data generated through our US EAP program. In a multi-year subgroup analysis of participants with up to four years of follow-up, MIPLYFFA demonstrated durable treatment effects, sustained clinical benefit and safety, with significant patient adherence over that time.

Speaker #4: At World, we also presented new analyses evaluating the adult NPC population, and found those treated with Aromaquimol in the US EAP showed disease stabilization over the four years while maintaining a favorable safety profile consistent with the broader results.

Speaker #4: Importantly, our market access strategies remain strong, and we continue to drive access for our patients. We are at 68% of total covered lives, which is in line with where we expected to be after the first full year on the market.

Joshua Schafer: We are at 68% of total covered lives, which is in line with where we expect it to be after the first full year on the market. For the remaining patients, we have been able to secure high reimbursement rates through the efforts of our market access and patient services team. Our success reflects the benefits demonstrated by data generated in the clinical studies as well as long-term real-world experience, which show MIPLYFFA's ability to halt disease progression with a favorable safety profile. In just 4 full quarters in the field, the team has built meaningful momentum and delivered measurable impact, and we couldn't be more proud. We are expanding access to diagnosis and enabling disease-modifying treatment while demonstrating clear leadership through our comprehensive support services and commercial execution. As a result, we are steadily establishing ourselves as a trusted partner of choice in the rare disease space.

Joshua Schafer: Now, I will turn the call back over to Neil.

Josh Schafer: Now, I will turn the call back over to Neil.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Josh. I'll briefly review a summary of our financial performance and encourage you to refer to our press release and SEC filings for more detailed information.

Neil F. McFarlane: Thanks, Josh. I'll briefly review a summary of our financial performance and encourage you to refer to our press release and SEC filings for more detailed information. As I mentioned, in Q4, we generated $34.1 million in total net revenue. This included $26.4 million from MIPLYFFA sales, $400,000 from OLPRUVA, $5.6 million in net reimbursements from our global EAP, $1.8 million from royalties and other reimbursements under the AZSTARYS license. Operating expenses for Q4 was $23 million, which was a decrease of $1.5 million compared to the same quarter a year ago. R&D expense was $2.6 million for Q4 2025, which was a decrease of $5.8 million compared to the same quarter in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related third-party costs.

Speaker #5: SG&A expense was $20.4 million for Q4 2025, which was an increase of approximately $4.3 million compared to the same quarter in 2024.

Neil F. McFarlane: SG&A expense was $20.4 million for Q4 2025, which was an increase of approximately $4.3 million compared to the same quarter in 2024, largely due to investments to support our launch activities. Net income for Q4 2025 was $12.2 million or $0.20 per basic and $0.19 per diluted share. For the same quarter in 2024, we reported a net loss of $35.7 million or $0.67 per share. Turning to the full year, our 2025 net revenue of $106.5 million included $87.4 million from MIPLYFFA sales, $800,000 from OLPRUVA, $13 million in net reimbursements from the global EAP, and $5 million from royalties and other reimbursements under the AZSTARYS license.

Speaker #5: Operating expenses for the full year 2025 were $90.4 million, which was a decrease of $6.6 million compared to 2024. R&D expense was $12.7 million, which was a decrease of $29.4 million compared to the prior year.

Neil F. McFarlane: Operating expense for the full year 2025 was $90.4 million, which was a decrease of $6.6 million compared to 2024. R&D expense was $12.7 million, which was a decrease of $29.4 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related costs combined with a decrease in third-party costs. SG&A expense was $77.6 million, which was an increase of $22.7 million compared to the prior year, mainly due to an increase in third-party costs related to MIPLYFFA, combined with an increase in personnel-related costs, professional fees, and other expenses associated with our commercial, medical, and launch activities.

As of 31 December 2025, total cash equivalents, and investments were $238.9 million, and total debt was approximately $61.9 million. In closing, we have meaningful value inflection points squarely ahead of us. In the US, we're driving commercial execution to further unlock the NPC opportunity, as well as pursuing a patent term extension.

In the EU, we have our MAA filing before the regulators, with one of the most comprehensive NPC data sets, along with expanded access through our global EAP in markets beyond Europe.

Neil F. McFarlane: In the EU, we have our MAA filing before the regulators with one of the most comprehensive NPC data sets, along with expanded access through our global EAP in markets beyond Europe. For our pipeline opportunity with celiprolol, we look forward to further engagement with the FDA regarding potential options to accelerate our development plan. The key takeaway is that strong execution, grounded in meaningful therapeutic benefit for patients, is translating into tangible bottom-line results. We remain committed to prioritizing our investments towards high-impact initiatives, which gives us the flexibility to explore additional ways to create meaningful value for our shareholders and the rare disease community that we serve. As I mentioned earlier, today is Justin's first official day with the company, and we're very pleased to have him joining us. Before we open the call for questions, I've asked him to share a few brief remarks. Justin.

Speaker #8: Hi. Good afternoon. Congrats on a great quarter, and Justin, I'm looking forward to working with you. Welcome on board.

Kristen Kluska: Hi, good afternoon. Congrats on a great quarter, and Justin, I'm looking forward to working with you. Welcome on board.

Speaker #9: Thank you. Good afternoon.

Joshua Schafer: Thank you. Good afternoon.

Josh Schafer: Thank you. Good afternoon.

Speaker #8: So, 24 START forms is certainly impressive. You tripled it from Q3. Can you give us any more color or details around the split—how many of those, or what percent, were new diagnoses versus those getting identified patients on drug?

Kristen Kluska: 24 start forms is certainly impressive. You tripled it from Q3. Can you give us any more color or details around the split of how many of those or % were new diagnoses versus those getting identified patients on drug? How should we be thinking about the cadence moving forward? How does the pipeline look now? Are you still seeing people undergo the genetic testing diagnosis or looking more into the AI predictive targeting model?

Speaker #8: And then, how should we be thinking about the cadence moving forward? How does the pipeline look now? Are you still seeing people undergo the genetic testing diagnosis, or are they looking more into the AI predictive targeting model?

Speaker #5: That's great, Kristen. Thank you so much. Let me start off by saying that we've talked about this on a quarter-over-quarter basis. You're going to see some variability.

Neil F. McFarlane: That's great, Kristen. Thank you so much. Let me start off by saying that, you know, we've talked about this on a quarter-over-quarter basis. You're gonna see some variability. 52 enrollment forms in the full year is I think the number that we're really lined into. When we think about the total of 161 total enrollments since launch, it reinforces our confidence in the US prevalence, especially, and I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit about this, especially with the identification of newly diagnosed patients, which from Q2 to Q3 to Q4, we continue to see some growth there. Josh?

Neil McFarlane: That's great, Kristen. Thank you so much. Let me start off by saying that, you know, we've talked about this on a quarter-over-quarter basis. You're gonna see some variability. 52 enrollment forms in the full year is I think the number that we're really lined into. When we think about the total of 161 total enrollments since launch, it reinforces our confidence in the US prevalence, especially, and I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit about this, especially with the identification of newly diagnosed patients, which from Q2 to Q3 to Q4, we continue to see some growth there. Josh?

Speaker #5: Fifty-two enrollment forms in the full years. I think the number that we're really lined into. And when we think about the total of 161 total enrollments since launch, it reinforces our confidence in the US prevalence, especially in our last—Joshua talked a little bit about this—especially with the identification of newly diagnosed patients, which from Q2 to Q3 to Q4, we continue to see some growth there.

Speaker #5: So Josh?

Speaker #6: Yeah, thanks, Kristen, for the question. As Neil mentioned, we've seen pretty meaningful growth in the newly diagnosed patients from Q1 all the way through Q4.

Joshua Schafer: Yeah. Thanks, Kristen, for the question. As Neil mentioned, we've seen pretty meaningful growth in the newly diagnosed patients from Q1 all the way through Q4. That is really attributable to the strength of the clinical data of MIPLYFFA. Moreover, the real-world experience that HCPs are now having with their patients. It's also attributable to the efforts that we've put behind our disease awareness campaign, all driving greater diagnoses, as well as some of the collaborations that we have with genetic testing companies. As we mentioned in the remarks, we have recently expanded that collaboration, and so we do expect that we'll see continued diagnosis in 2026.

Josh Schafer: Yeah. Thanks, Kristen, for the question. As Neil mentioned, we've seen pretty meaningful growth in the newly diagnosed patients from Q1 all the way through Q4. That is really attributable to the strength of the clinical data of MIPLYFFA. Moreover, the real-world experience that HCPs are now having with their patients. It's also attributable to the efforts that we've put behind our disease awareness campaign, all driving greater diagnoses, as well as some of the collaborations that we have with genetic testing companies.

Speaker #6: As we mentioned in the remarks, we have recently expanded that collaboration, and so we do expect that we'll see continued diagnosis in 2026.

Speaker #5: Yeah, Kristen, just to add on to that, when we talk about the opportunity to have these efforts that Josh and the team are working through in identifying newly diagnosed patients or misdiagnosed patients, quite frankly, this is a reinforcement to us that the market opportunity is somewhere between these 300 and 350 patients that are currently diagnosed and the 900-patient prevalence.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Kristen, just to add on that, you know, when we talk about the opportunity to have these efforts that Joshua and the team are working through in identifying newly diagnosed patients or misdiagnosed patients, quite frankly, this is a reinforcement to us that the market opportunity is somewhere between these 300 and 350 patients that are currently diagnosed and the 900 patient prevalence. Getting these newly diagnosed patients early in the launch cycle versus a year or two years from now is really providing that confidence.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Kristen, just to add on that, you know, when we talk about the opportunity to have these efforts that Joshua and the team are working through in identifying newly diagnosed patients or misdiagnosed patients, quite frankly, this is a reinforcement to us that the market opportunity is somewhere between these 300 and 350 patients that are currently diagnosed and the 900 patient prevalence. Getting these newly diagnosed patients early in the launch cycle versus a year or two years from now is really providing that confidence.

Speaker #5: Getting these newly diagnosed patients early in the launch cycle, versus a year or two years from now, is really providing that confidence.

Speaker #8: Got it, thanks. And now that you're collecting more quarter-over-quarter data, do you have an average sense or a range of the time it's taking for an initial suspicion to be confirmed or not confirmed as an actual diagnosis?

Kristen Kluska: Got it. Thanks. Just, you know, now that you're collecting more quarter-over-quarter data, do you have, like, a average sense or a range of the time it's taking for an initial suspicion to be confirmed or not confirmed to a actual diagnosis?

Speaker #5: Yeah, it's a really difficult question for us to answer because, as you know, in the rare disease space, as you work with one patient, the myriad of symptoms that a patient may have may be very different from one to the other.

Neil F. McFarlane: That's a really difficult question for us to answer because, as you know, in the rare disease space, as you work with one patient and the myriad of symptoms that a patient may have may be very different from one to the other. We're continuing to lean in and double down on obviously educating physicians. Our new AI model that we're working on and the team is really starting to help us to get the education to the right places to ID new patients. And then, as we're thinking about the disease state awareness and all the work that we're doing, it's a you know, trifecta of things that we're working on that are allowing us to be able to see this moving forward.

Neil McFarlane: That's a really difficult question for us to answer because, as you know, in the rare disease space, as you work with one patient and the myriad of symptoms that a patient may have may be very different from one to the other. We're continuing to lean in and double down on obviously educating physicians.

And then, as we're thinking about the disease state awareness and all the work that we're doing, it's a you know, trifecta of things that we're working on that are allowing us to be able to see this moving forward.

Speaker #5: So we're continuing to lean in and double down on, obviously, educating physicians, our new AI model that we're working on, and the team is really starting to help us to get the education to the right places to ID new patients.

Speaker #5: And then as we're thinking about the disease state awareness and all the work that we're doing, it's a trifecta of things that we're working on that are allowing us to be able to see this moving forward.

Speaker #5: The one thing that I will say, and that Josh has mentioned previously, is that once we're identifying patients, we're able to utilize this depth of data that we have to really work with the physicians and the payers to get patients on, and then to get patients reimbursed.

Neil F. McFarlane: The one thing that I will say, and that Josh has mentioned previously, is that once we're identifying patients, we're able to utilize this depth of data that we have to really work with the physicians and the payers, to get patients on and then to get patients, reimbursed.

Neil McFarlane: The one thing that I will say, and that Josh has mentioned previously, is that once we're identifying patients, we're able to utilize this depth of data that we have to really work with the physicians and the payers, to get patients on and then to get patients, reimbursed.

Speaker #6: Kristen, I would just add in that, as we've mentioned in our prepared remarks, with this new collaboration with GeneDx, the expectation is that from the time there's a test to results available, it's estimated that physicians would know those results within about three weeks.

Joshua Schafer: Kristin.

Josh Schafer: Kristin.

Kristen Kluska: Okay.

Joshua Schafer: I would just add.

Josh Schafer: I would just add.

Kristen Kluska: Please.

Joshua Schafer: As we mentioned in our prepared remarks, with this new collaboration with GeneDx, the expectation is that from the time there's a test to results available, it's estimated that physicians would know those results within about three weeks.

Josh Schafer: As we mentioned in our prepared remarks, with this new collaboration with GeneDx, the expectation is that from the time there's a test to results available, it's estimated that physicians would know those results within about three weeks.

Speaker #8: Okay, thanks. And just a quick, last one—so for EMA, if I'm doing my math correctly, you should be submitting responses in the next couple of weeks here.

Kristen Kluska: Okay, thanks. Just a quick one, last one. For EMA, if I'm doing my math correctly, you should be submitting responses in the next couple weeks here. After that, you would expect 2 months later to get the Day 180 questions. Is that what's next?

Speaker #8: So after that, you'd expect two months later to get the day 180 questions. Is that what's next?

Speaker #5: So you're spot on, and your math around our submission within the 90-day clock stop period—we're prepared. We will make that happen. The next one is the 150-day, not 180.

Neil F. McFarlane: No, you're spot on in your math around our submission within the 90-day clock stop period. We're prepared. We will make that happen. The next one is the 150-day, not 180.

Neil McFarlane: No, you're spot on in your math around our submission within the 90-day clock stop period. We're prepared. We will make that happen. The next one is the 150-day, not 180.

Speaker #8: Okay. All right. Thanks, everyone.

Kristen Kluska: Okay. All right. Thanks, everyone.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Neil F. McFarlane: Thank you.

Neil McFarlane: Thank you.

Speaker #7: Thank you. We'll move next to Jason Butler with Citizens. Your line is open.

Leo: Thank you. We'll move next to Jason Butler with Citizens. Your line is open.

Operator: Thank you. We'll move next to Jason Butler with Citizens. Your line is open.

Speaker #10: Thanks for taking the questions, and let me add my congrats to Justin joining the team. Can you talk about persistency, and are you at a point now where you have enough data to give some estimate of the proportion of patients that stay on therapy for a long period of time?

Jason Butler: Thanks for taking the questions, and, let me add my congrats to Justin joining the team. Can you talk about persistency and are you at a point now where you have enough data to give some estimate of the proportion of patients that stay on therapy for a long period of time?

Speaker #9: Hey, Jason, thanks for that question. As you know, persistency is really defined by the number of patients who are on drug for an entire 12-month period of time.

Neil F. McFarlane: Hey, Jason, thanks for that question. As you know, persistency is really defined by the number of patients who are on drug for an entire 12 months period of time, and it's too early in our launch to be able to give meaningful data on persistency. I can tell you that we're very encouraged by the refill rates that we're seeing and the number of patients that are staying on therapy. Again, this really speaks to the durability of response that we're seeing both in our clinical data and the availability of new data that we're publishing to support that, as well as the real-world experience that clinicians are having with their patients.

Neil McFarlane: Hey, Jason, thanks for that question. As you know, persistency is really defined by the number of patients who are on drug for an entire 12 months period of time, and it's too early in our launch to be able to give meaningful data on persistency.

Speaker #9: Again, this really speaks to the durability of response that we're seeing both in our clinical data and the availability of new data that we're publishing to support that, as well as the real-world experience that clinicians are having with their patients.

Speaker #10: Great. And then can you talk about the initial experience XUS with the UniFar collaboration, and how should we think about that as a potential growth driver in 2026?

Jason Butler: Great. Then, can you talk about the initial experience ex-US with the Uniphar collaboration, and how should we think about that as a potential growth driver in 2026?

Speaker #5: Yes, we're really pleased with the addition of UniFar. And, as you know, we have multiple distributors that are helping us with our global EPP.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yes. We're really pleased with the adding of Uniphar. As you know, we have multiple distributors that are helping us with our global EAP. The opportunity for us to execute that agreement and at the end of the year, and in Q4, actually ship and get product to patients in a very short period is exactly what we wanna do as an organization. That will continue. We've actually had additional orders in Q1 already, and that will continue.

Neil McFarlane: Yes. We're really pleased with the adding of Uniphar. As you know, we have multiple distributors that are helping us with our global EAP. The opportunity for us to execute that agreement and at the end of the year, and in Q4, actually ship and get product to patients in a very short period is exactly what we wanna do as an organization. That will continue. We've actually had additional orders in Q1 already, and that will continue.

Speaker #5: The opportunity for us to execute that agreement, and at the end of the year and in Q4, actually ship and get product to patients in a very short period, is exactly what we want to do as an organization.

Speaker #5: That will continue. We've actually had additional orders in Q1 already, and that will continue. But as I mentioned in the prepared remarks, you're going to see some variability in the order and patterns and the new rate of enrollments as we continue to build on that, much like what we saw in our French EAP program, which continues to be approximately 30 patients, up or down one or two on a quarter-over-quarter basis, but it took a number of years to get to that steady state.

Neil F. McFarlane: As I mentioned, in the prepared remarks, you're gonna see some variability in the ordering patterns and the new rate of enrollments as we continue to build on that, much like what we saw in our French EAP program, which continues to be approximately 30 patients, you know, up or down 1 or 2 on a quarter-over-quarter basis. It took a number of years to get to that steady state. We're really pleased with that, and we expect that we're gonna continue to engage in broadening access for MIPLYFFA outside of Europe as well.

Neil McFarlane: As I mentioned, in the prepared remarks, you're gonna see some variability in the ordering patterns and the new rate of enrollments as we continue to build on that, much like what we saw in our French EAP program, which continues to be approximately 30 patients, you know, up or down 1 or 2 on a quarter-over-quarter basis. It took a number of years to get to that steady state. We're really pleased with that, and we expect that we're gonna continue to engage in broadening access for MIPLYFFA outside of Europe as well.

Speaker #5: So we're really pleased with that, and we expect that we're going to continue to engage in broadening access for MydaPlay outside of Europe as well.

Speaker #10: Okay, great. And then just last question. You've talked a couple of quarters now about the encouraging number of new diagnosed patients that you're seeing.

Jason Butler: Okay, great. Just last question. You've talked a couple quarters now about the number of the encouraging number of new diagnosed patients that you're seeing. Do you have an updated sense of what the total addressable number of patients could be in the US relative to the, you know, the 900 you've historically talked about? Thanks.

Speaker #10: Do you have an updated sense of what the total addressable number of patients could be in the US relative to the 900 you've historically talked about?

Speaker #10: Thanks.

Speaker #5: Yeah. I have to say that in the early phases of launch, it's hard for you to say what your end state is, but what I can tell you is that we're seeing, and we saw it in Q2, a few new patients.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. You know, I have to say that, in the early phases of launch, it's hard for you to say what your end state is, but what I can tell you is that we're seeing, and we saw it in Q2, a few new patients we saw in Q3, and then we saw even more in Q4. That's giving us a lot of confidence that the market opportunity of those patients who are diagnosed already, the 300 to 350, we can grow that, somewhere between the 300 and 350 and the 900. It's because of this effort that Josh has been talking about on getting the reps to the place where they can be most successful, as well as all of the genetic testing and disease state awareness.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. You know, I have to say that, in the early phases of launch, it's hard for you to say what your end state is, but what I can tell you is that we're seeing, and we saw it in Q2, a few new patients we saw in Q3, and then we saw even more in Q4. That's giving us a lot of confidence that the market opportunity of those patients who are diagnosed already, the 300 to 350, we can grow that, somewhere between the 300 and 350 and the 900. It's because of this effort that Josh has been talking about on getting the reps to the place where they can be most successful, as well as all of the genetic testing and disease state awareness.

Speaker #5: We saw in Q3, and then we saw even more in Q4. That's giving us a lot of confidence that the market opportunity of those patients who were diagnosed already, the 300 to 350, we can grow that somewhere between the 300 and 350 and the 900.

Speaker #5: And it's because of this effort that Josh has been talking about on getting the reps to the place where they can be most successful, as well as all of the genetic testing and disease state awareness.

Speaker #5: It seems like, and you see this sometimes in rare diseases, you don't really know what you have until you get a product in the market, and then the rising tide starts to lift all boats.

Neil F. McFarlane: It seems like, and you see this sometimes in rare diseases, you don't really know what you have until you get a product in the market, and then the arising tide starts to lift all boats. We're having more and more confidence on a quarter-over-quarter basis that the addressable market is somewhere between that $300, $350 and $900.

Neil McFarlane: It seems like, and you see this sometimes in rare diseases, you don't really know what you have until you get a product in the market, and then the arising tide starts to lift all boats. We're having more and more confidence on a quarter-over-quarter basis that the addressable market is somewhere between that $300, $350 and $900.

Speaker #5: We're having more and more confidence on a quarter-over-quarter basis that the addressable market is somewhere between that $300 million and $350 million, and $900 million.

Speaker #10: Great. Thanks for taking the questions.

Jason Butler: Great. Thanks for taking the questions.

Speaker #7: Thank you. We'll move next to Lachlan Hanbury Browne with William Blair. Your line is open, please go ahead. And Lachlan Hanbury Browne, you may want to check your mute switch.

Leo: Thank you. We'll move next to Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line is open. Please go ahead. Lachlan Hanbury-Brown, you may wanna check your mute switch. Your line is open.

Operator: Thank you. We'll move next to Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line is open. Please go ahead. Lachlan Hanbury-Brown, you may wanna check your mute switch. Your line is open.

Speaker #7: Your line is open. We'll move next. We'll move next. We'll move next to Eddie Hickman with Guggenheim. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Kristen Kluska: How much?

Lachlan Hanbury-Brown: How much?

Leo: We'll move next to Eddie Hickman with Guggenheim. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Operator: We'll move next to Eddie Hickman with Guggenheim. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Speaker #11: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the question, and congrats on the great quarter. I wanted to follow up on the EAP revenue, which was quite impressive this quarter.

Eddie Hickman: Hey, guys, thanks for taking the question and congrats on the great quarter. I wanted to follow up on the EAP revenue, which was quite impressive this quarter. Can you clarify if this represents a new recurring quarterly runway that we should take into account, or does it include any sort of one-time payments? How should we think about the growth of this revenue stream going forward and beyond?

Speaker #11: Can you clarify if this represents a new recurring quarterly runway that we should take into account, or does it include any sort of one-time payments?

Speaker #11: And then, how should we think about the growth of this revenue stream going forward and beyond?

Speaker #5: Yeah. Thanks, Eddie. So I want to—this is part of why we really wanted to make sure that we put into the prepared remarks that these are initial shipments.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Thanks, Eddie. This is part of why we really wanted to make sure that we put into the prepared remarks that these are initial shipments, and again, this is named patient basis reimbursed sales. The shipments that are going out are for individual patients. We've identified a number of patients prior to signing the agreement, and we continue to on a named patient. 1 by 1 basis actually get product into to market and to patients. This is the start, and as I mentioned, that was Q4. We have more that we've continued to ship into Q1. It's gonna take some time, and there'll be variability on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Thanks, Eddie. This is part of why we really wanted to make sure that we put into the prepared remarks that these are initial shipments, and again, this is named patient basis reimbursed sales. The shipments that are going out are for individual patients. We've identified a number of patients prior to signing the agreement, and we continue to on a named patient. 1 by 1 basis actually get product into to market and to patients. This is the start, and as I mentioned, that was Q4. We have more that we've continued to ship into Q1. It's gonna take some time, and there'll be variability on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Speaker #5: And again, this is named patient-basis reimbursed sales. So the shipments that are going out are for individual patients. So we’ve identified a number of patients prior to signing the agreement, and we continue to on a named basis.

Speaker #5: So, on a one-by-one basis, actually getting product into the market and to patients. So this is the start. And as I mentioned, that was Q4. We have more that we've continued to ship into Q1.

Speaker #5: It's going to take some time, and there'll be variability on a quarter-over-quarter basis. But our goal right now is to make sure that we're leaning into those patients who have been identified, to get them through the system on a one-by-one basis and actually get product to those patients.

Neil F. McFarlane: Our goal right now is to make sure that we're leaning in to those patients who have been identified to get them through the system on a one-by-one basis and actually get product to those patients. Really impressed with what we've been able to do in getting the speed of product to patients so far.

Neil McFarlane: Our goal right now is to make sure that we're leaning in to those patients who have been identified to get them through the system on a one-by-one basis and actually get product to those patients. Really impressed with what we've been able to do in getting the speed of product to patients so far.

Speaker #5: Really impressed with what we've been able to do in getting the speed of product to patients so far.

Speaker #11: Understood. Yeah, appreciate that clarification. Have you said any more detail about—are these in France only, or are there other patients in other countries that you're starting to include in this EAP?

Eddie Hickman: Understood. Yeah, I appreciate that clarification. Have you said any more detail about like, are these in France only, or are there other patients in other countries that you're starting to include in this EAP?

Speaker #5: Yeah, so maybe I don't provide guidance very often, but this is one where we've had very consistent guidance. Our French EAP program has approximately 30 patients.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Well, I don't provide guidance very often, but this is one where we've had very consistent, you know, guidance. Our French EAP program has approximately 30 patients. It's ±1 on a quarter-over-quarter basis, and that has generated approximately $10 million net revenue per year. Anything on top of that right now is coming from additional markets that we're able to service. What you're seeing on top of the quarter-over-quarter basis that we've said with the $10 million net a year, you know, $2.5 million or so a quarter, is coming from the new territories.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Well, I don't provide guidance very often, but this is one where we've had very consistent, you know, guidance. Our French EAP program has approximately 30 patients. It's ±1 on a quarter-over-quarter basis, and that has generated approximately $10 million net revenue per year. Anything on top of that right now is coming from additional markets that we're able to service. What you're seeing on top of the quarter-over-quarter basis that we've said with the $10 million net a year, you know, $2.5 million or so a quarter, is coming from the new territories.

Speaker #5: It's plus or minus one on a quarter-over-quarter basis, and that has generated approximately $10 million net revenue per year. Anything on top of that right now is coming from additional markets that we're able to service.

Speaker #5: So what you're seeing on top of the quarter-over-quarter basis that we've said with the 10 million net a year two and a half million or so a quarter is coming from the new territories.

Speaker #11: Got it. And then one thing—and apologies if I missed this earlier—but how is the gross-to-net evolving in the US? And is there any variability in that price we should be taking into account now as the launch evolves further?

Eddie Hickman: Got it. One thing, and apologies that I missed this earlier, but how is the gross to net evolving in the US, and is there any variability in that price we should be taking into account now as the launch evolves further?

Speaker #5: Yeah. Our gross-to-net, as you know, has evolved through the year. We had a one-off in Q3 based on the Inflation Reduction Act. Moving forward, I think we can't really guide you to gross-to-net, but we've taken that into account.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. You know, our gross to net, as you know, has evolved through the year. We had a one-off in Q3, based on the Inflation Reduction Act. Moving forward, I think we can't really guide you to gross to net, but we've taken that into account, and nothing has changed in our contracting or our patient base so far moving forward, so in terms of the commercial and government payer mix. We feel like we're in a gonna have a quarter-over-quarter change, and I can't really tell you what that is today. It's too dynamic.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. You know, our gross to net, as you know, has evolved through the year. We had a one-off in Q3, based on the Inflation Reduction Act. Moving forward, I think we can't really guide you to gross to net, but we've taken that into account, and nothing has changed in our contracting or our patient base so far moving forward, so in terms of the commercial and government payer mix. We feel like we're in a gonna have a quarter-over-quarter change, and I can't really tell you what that is today. It's too dynamic.

Speaker #5: And nothing has changed in our contracting or our patient-based so far moving forward. So in terms of the commercial and government payer mix, so we feel like we're in going to have a quarter-over-quarter change.

Speaker #5: And I can't really tell you what that is today. It's too dynamic.

Speaker #11: Fair enough. I appreciate you taking the questions, and congrats again.

Eddie Hickman: Fair enough. appreciate taking the questions, and congrats again.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Eddie.

Neil F. McFarlane: Thanks, Eddie.

Neil McFarlane: Thanks, Eddie.

Speaker #7: Thank you. We'll move next now to Sumant Kulkarni with Canaccord. Your line is open.

Leo: Thank you. We'll move next now to Suman Kulkarni with Canaccord. Your line is open.

Operator: Thank you. We'll move next now to Suman Kulkarni with Canaccord. Your line is open.

Speaker #12: Good afternoon and nice to see all the progress, and thanks for taking our questions. I have a few here. So first on US sales of Myplifa, do you expect to see continued sequential growth on that, or could that be lumpy as well?

Sumant Kulkarni: Good afternoon, nice to see all the progress, and thanks for taking our questions. I have a few here. First on US sales of MIPLYFFA, do you expect to see continued sequential growth on that, or could that be lumpy as well?

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah, I'll answer that one. We see variability in these, you know, with high-value therapeutics and low number of patients, in the ultra-rare space. You know, one patient makes a difference on a quarter-over-quarter basis. We expect variability moving forward for the duration of the launch and the duration of supporting the patient base out there as we grow the market. Again, the addressable market, we're feeling a lot more confident between that 300 and 350 and 900. That means there's variability in our future.

Speaker #5: Yeah. I'll answer that one. We'd see variability in these with high-value therapeutics and low number of patients. In the ultra-rare space, one patient makes a difference on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah, I'll answer that one. We see variability in these, you know, with high-value therapeutics and low number of patients, in the ultra-rare space. You know, one patient makes a difference on a quarter-over-quarter basis. We expect variability moving forward for the duration of the launch and the duration of supporting the patient base out there as we grow the market. Again, the addressable market, we're feeling a lot more confident between that 300 and 350 and 900. That means there's variability in our future.

Speaker #5: So we expect variability moving forward for the duration of the launch and the duration of supporting the patient base out there as we grow the market.

Speaker #5: And again, the addressable market—we're feeling a lot more confident between that $300 and $350 and $900. That means there's variability in our future.

Speaker #12: Understood. And what's the average age of patients on Myplifa, and what's the average age of newly diagnosed NPC patients? I'm asking because there could be the potential availability of MANDOSIS in-rebedadex for infantile-onset NPC as soon as maybe this year.

Sumant Kulkarni: Understood. What's the average age of patients on MIPLYFFA, and what's the average age of newly diagnosed NPC patients? I'm asking because there could be the potential availability of Mindostasib Adrobetadex for infantile onset NPC as soon as maybe this year. How prepared is the company for competition from that front?

Speaker #12: And how prepared is the company for competition from that front?

Speaker #5: Yeah. I'll ask Josh to talk about some of the specifics, but it's important to note that our patient mix remains very similar to what we saw in our expanded access program in the US, of the 83 patients that we had when we closed the program.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. I'll ask Josh to talk about some of the specifics, but it's important to note that our patient mix remains very similar to what we saw in our expanded access program in the US. The 83 patients that we had when we closed the program was approximately 50% adults and 50% children. And that mix has continued throughout our launch. In our 161 patients since launch, it's approximately 50/50 still. I'll reiterate what we've also said. We actually believe that our physician base, our patient base, really wants to have as many options available to them that's out there.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. I'll ask Josh to talk about some of the specifics, but it's important to note that our patient mix remains very similar to what we saw in our expanded access program in the US. The 83 patients that we had when we closed the program was approximately 50% adults and 50% children. And that mix has continued throughout our launch. In our 161 patients since launch, it's approximately 50/50 still. I'll reiterate what we've also said. We actually believe that our physician base, our patient base, really wants to have as many options available to them that's out there.

Speaker #5: It was approximately 50% adults and 50% children, and that mix has continued throughout our launch. Of our 161 patients since launch, it's approximately 50/50 still.

Speaker #5: I'll reiterate what we've also said. We actually believe that our physician base, our patient base, really wants to have as many options available to them as are out there.

Speaker #5: And I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit more about what we've seen in the market, what our market research says, and we believe that it actually is helpful for all patients out there.

Neil F. McFarlane: I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit more about what we've seen in the market, what our market research says, and we believe that it actually is helpful for all patients out there.

Neil McFarlane: I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit more about what we've seen in the market, what our market research says, and we believe that it actually is helpful for all patients out there.

Speaker #13: Yeah. And just to reiterate what Neil said, and as was in our prepared remarks: about half of our Myplifa patient enrollments today are patients age 18 or over.

Joshua Schafer: Yeah. Just to reiterate what Neil said and was in our prepared remarks, about half of our MIPLYFFA patient enrollments today are patients over the age of 18 or 18 and over. Again, very reflective of what we saw in our expanded access program in the US. In terms of new products coming into the market, we are very much aware of Adrobetadex, and we welcome all new treatments for patients. We have been hearing from clinicians and seeing in practice that they are looking for multi-modal treatments and being able to use as many treatments as they possibly can for these patients. We also hear from them that they view MIPLYFFA as really the foundational treatment and the preferred disease-modifying treatment for patients with NPC.

Josh Schafer: Yeah. Just to reiterate what Neil said and was in our prepared remarks, about half of our MIPLYFFA patient enrollments today are patients over the age of 18 or 18 and over. Again, very reflective of what we saw in our expanded access program in the US. In terms of new products coming into the market, we are very much aware of Adrobetadex, and we welcome all new treatments for patients. We have been hearing from clinicians and seeing in practice that they are looking for multi-modal treatments and being able to use as many treatments as they possibly can for these patients. We also hear from them that they view MIPLYFFA as really the foundational treatment and the preferred disease-modifying treatment for patients with NPC.

Speaker #13: Again, very reflective of what we saw in our expanded access program in the U.S. In terms of new products coming into the market, we are very much aware of Azure Betadex, and we welcome all new treatments for patients.

Speaker #13: We have been hearing from clinicians, and seeing in practice, that they are looking for multimodal treatments and being able to use as many treatments as they possibly can for these patients.

Speaker #13: But we also hear from them that they view Myplifa as really the foundational treatment and the preferred disease-modifying treatment for patients with NPC. So we're continuing to execute on as we can and continuing to bring new patients to Myplifa.

Joshua Schafer: You know, we're continuing to execute on, as we can and continuing to bring new patients, to MIPLYFFA.

Josh Schafer: You know, we're continuing to execute on, as we can and continuing to bring new patients, to MIPLYFFA.

Speaker #5: Yeah. So my bottom line, it's a win-win for patients. It increases awareness. Physicians want as many as they can. And we're supportive of continuing to raise the awareness of the NPC market.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. My bottom line, it's a win-win for patients. It increases awareness. Physicians want as many as they can, and we're supportive of continuing to rise the awareness of the NPC market.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. My bottom line, it's a win-win for patients. It increases awareness. Physicians want as many as they can, and we're supportive of continuing to rise the awareness of the NPC market.

Speaker #12: Got it. And on Arimoclomol's pending EMA applications, you're on track to submit your 90-day response. Is it fair to assume that the agency has not asked for any new clinical data?

Sumant Kulkarni: Got it. On arimoclomol's pending EMA applications, you're on track to submit your 90-day response. Is it fair to assume that the agency has not asked for any new clinical data? On celiprolol, what could you do to accelerate that program given that if the product works really well, the time to event should actually go up?

Speaker #12: And on Celeprolol, what could you do to accelerate that program, given that if the product works really well, the time to event should actually go up?

Speaker #5: Yeah, let me start with the MAA question. So, as I mentioned in the prepared remarks, we submitted a robust data package. It's a standard review process, where we got a 120-day list of questions.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Let me start with the MAA question. As I mentioned in the prepared remarks, we submitted a robust data package. It's a standard review process where we got a 120-day list of questions, and we have not seen any new questions that we were not fully prepared to respond to in that clock stop. We're gonna continue to engage and continue to move forward. Recall, what package we've put forth is the largest data set of NPC patients ever treated. We're continuing to engage. I won't get into the specifics of what questions are coming or not. There's no surprises that we have seen in the questions that we've seen so far. You asked another question in regards to accelerating celiprolol. You know, we talked about this before.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Let me start with the MAA question. As I mentioned in the prepared remarks, we submitted a robust data package. It's a standard review process where we got a 120-day list of questions, and we have not seen any new questions that we were not fully prepared to respond to in that clock stop. We're gonna continue to engage and continue to move forward. Recall, what package we've put forth is the largest data set of NPC patients ever treated. We're continuing to engage. I won't get into the specifics of what questions are coming or not. There's no surprises that we have seen in the questions that we've seen so far. You asked another question in regards to accelerating celiprolol. You know, we talked about this before.

Speaker #5: And we have not seen any new questions that we were not fully prepared to respond to in that clock stop. So we're going to continue to engage and continue to move forward.

Speaker #5: But recall, what package we've put forth is the largest data set of NPC patients ever treated. So we're continuing to engage, and I won't get into the specifics of what questions are coming or not.

Speaker #5: There's no surprises there. We've seen that in the questions we've had so far. And you asked another question in regards to accelerating Celeprolol.

Speaker #5: We talked about this before. I'm really pleased that we've been able to reinitiate the study; we have got 52 patients enrolled as of the year-end.

Neil F. McFarlane: I'm really pleased that we've been able to reinitiate the study. We have got 52 patients enrolled as of the year-end, but I'd like to see more. Part of that, we've always said our goal is to accelerate the development program. That, 52 patients is great, but we also wanted to engage the FDA in a Type C meeting to discuss our regulatory options. They were very responsive. We're going to engage further in the second half of this year as we continue to invest in boosting enrollment. In addition to that, look to ways to get the product to patients as soon as we possibly can.

Neil McFarlane: I'm really pleased that we've been able to reinitiate the study. We have got 52 patients enrolled as of the year-end, but I'd like to see more. Part of that, we've always said our goal is to accelerate the development program.

Speaker #7: Thank you. We'll move next to Brandon Folks with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open.

Leo: Thank you. We'll move next to Brandon Fowlkes with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open.

Operator: Thank you. We'll move next to Brandon Fowlkes with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is open.

Speaker #14: All right. Thanks for taking my questions, and congratulations on a very good quarter. Neil, maybe just first—obviously, there’s a tremendous number of enrollments this quarter.

David Brown: Hi. Thanks for taking my questions, congratulations on a very good quarter. Neil, maybe just first, you know, obviously there's a tremendous number of enrollments this quarter. If we look at the annual enrollments of 52 in 2025, how do we think about annual enrollment numbers going forward relative to 2025 as we balance, you know, an accelerating enrollment figure that we've actually seen quarterly recently, you know, some of these initiatives you've put in, but also the natural launch trajectory here. You know, understanding this variability quarter to quarter, how do we think about the annual enrollments going forward?

Brandon Folkes: Hi. Thanks for taking my questions, congratulations on a very good quarter. Neil, maybe just first, you know, obviously there's a tremendous number of enrollments this quarter. If we look at the annual enrollments of 52 in 2025, how do we think about annual enrollment numbers going forward relative to 2025 as we balance, you know, an accelerating enrollment figure that we've actually seen quarterly recently, you know, some of these initiatives you've put in, but also the natural launch trajectory here.

Speaker #14: If we look at the annual enrollments of 52 in 2025, how do we think about annual enrollment numbers going forward relative to 2025, as we balance an accelerating enrollment figure that we've actually seen quarterly recently?

Speaker #14: Some of these initiatives you've put in, but also the natural launch trajectory here. So, understanding this variability quarter to quarter, how do we think about the annual enrollments going forward?

Speaker #5: Yeah. Let me thank you for that question, by the way, because there have been a lot of questions in regards to what we see on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Let me thank you for that question, by the way, because, you know, there have been a lot of questions in regards to what we see on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Fifty-two patients in our first full year post-launch, we think is a really great number moving forward for us. Now, I'm not gonna guide you as to what we see in 2026 because as I mentioned, we've got a lot of diagnosed patients to continue to go after and make sure that we give MIPLYFFA as a potential opportunity for them.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Let me thank you for that question, by the way, because, you know, there have been a lot of questions in regards to what we see on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Fifty-two patients in our first full year post-launch, we think is a really great number moving forward for us. Now, I'm not gonna guide you as to what we see in 2026 because as I mentioned, we've got a lot of diagnosed patients to continue to go after and make sure that we give MIPLYFFA as a potential opportunity for them.

Speaker #5: But 52 patients in our first full year post-launch, we think, is a really great number moving forward for us. Now, will that be—I'm not going to guide you as to what we see in 2026 because, as I mentioned, we've got a lot of diagnosed patients to continue to go after and make sure that we give Myplifa as a potential opportunity for them.

Speaker #5: But the real, I think, confidence boost is that the efforts that we're making in the newly diagnosed patients, or misdiagnosed patients that are becoming newly diagnosed NPC patients, is giving us a lot of confidence on the long runway to be able to get that 300 to 350 patients, and the 900 prevalent—getting it closer somewhere in there.

Neil F. McFarlane: The real, I think, confidence boost is that the efforts that we're making in the newly diagnosed patients or misdiagnosed patients that are becoming newly diagnosed NPC patients, is giving us a lot of confidence on the long runway to be able to get that 303 to 350 patients, and the 900 prevalent, getting it closer, you know, somewhere in there, in there. I'm not gonna tell you what that number is 'cause we don't know. It is removing the barriers that we've seen out there, specifically when it comes to diagnosing patients with our efforts around genetic testing as well.

Neil McFarlane: The real, I think, confidence boost is that the efforts that we're making in the newly diagnosed patients or misdiagnosed patients that are becoming newly diagnosed NPC patients, is giving us a lot of confidence on the long runway to be able to get that 303 to 350 patients, and the 900 prevalent, getting it closer, you know, somewhere in there, in there. I'm not gonna tell you what that number is 'cause we don't know. It is removing the barriers that we've seen out there, specifically when it comes to diagnosing patients with our efforts around genetic testing as well.

Speaker #5: I'm not going to tell you what that number is because we don't know. But it is removing the barriers that we've seen out there, specifically when it comes to diagnosing patients with our efforts around genetic testing as well.

Speaker #14: Great. And maybe just one follow-up for me. Any way to contextualize what portion of diagnosed NPC patients in the US you have engaged through your programs, and maybe sort of how we should think about how quickly those patients could convert?

David Brown: Great. And maybe just one follow-up for me. look, any way to contextualize what portion of diagnosed NPC patients in the US you have engaged through your programs and maybe sort of how we should think about how quickly those patients could convert? Thank you.

Brandon Folkes: Great. And maybe just one follow-up for me. look, any way to contextualize what portion of diagnosed NPC patients in the US you have engaged through your programs and maybe sort of how we should think about how quickly those patients could convert? Thank you.

Speaker #14: Thank you.

Speaker #5: Yeah, I'm going to ask Josh to tackle that one. That's a tough one.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. I'm gonna ask Josh to tackle that one. That's a tough one.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. I'm gonna ask Josh to tackle that one. That's a tough one.

Speaker #15: Yeah, that is a bit of a tough one. But we've talked about that—we believe there are somewhere between 300 to 350 diagnosed patients.

Joshua Schafer: Yeah. That is a bit of a tough one. We've talked about that we believe that there are somewhere between 300 to 350 diagnosed patients, and we have, at the end of Q4, 161 patients enrolled to receive MIPLYFFA. The majority of those patients are previously diagnosed patients with the, certainly the number of newly diagnosed patients increasing. You know, I think that puts us in a good position where we can comfortably say that we have somewhere between 40% and 50% of the diagnosed patients currently enrolled to receive MIPLYFFA.

Josh Schafer: Yeah. That is a bit of a tough one. We've talked about that we believe that there are somewhere between 300 to 350 diagnosed patients, and we have, at the end of Q4, 161 patients enrolled to receive MIPLYFFA. The majority of those patients are previously diagnosed patients with the, certainly the number of newly diagnosed patients increasing. You know, I think that puts us in a good position where we can comfortably say that we have somewhere between 40% and 50% of the diagnosed patients currently enrolled to receive MIPLYFFA.

Speaker #15: And we have, at the end of the fourth quarter, 161 patients enrolled to receive Myplifa. The majority of those patients are previously diagnosed patients, with certainly the number of newly diagnosed patients increasing.

Speaker #15: So I think that puts us in a good position where we can comfortably say that we have somewhere between 40% and 50% of the diagnosed patients currently enrolled to receive Myplifa.

Speaker #7: Thank you. We'll move next to Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line is open.

Leo: Thank you. We'll move next to Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line is open.

Operator: Thank you. We'll move next to Lachlan Hanbury-Brown with William Blair. Your line is open.

Speaker #16: Hey, guys. Thanks for the question, and congrats on the strong quarter. Apologies if this was asked earlier—my line cut out for a while during the Q&A.

Lachlan Hanbury-Brown: There you go. Thanks for the question, and congrats on the strong quarter. Apologies if this was asked earlier. My line cut out for a while during the Q&A. On the 24 new patient starts in Q4, was there anything sort of new that you'd started late in Q3 in terms of the identification efforts that maybe contributed to that increase? Or is this just kind of a great example of the lumpiness of quarter-to-quarter new ads where it sort of leads to you initiated in prior quarters coming to fruition in the same quarter?

Speaker #16: But on the 24 new patient starts in Q4, was there anything sort of new that you'd started late in Q3 in terms of the identification efforts that maybe contributed to that increase?

Speaker #16: Or is this just kind of a great example of the lumpiness of quarter-to-quarter new ads, where it's sort of leads that you initiated in prior quarters coming to fruition?

Speaker #16: In the same way.

Speaker #5: Yeah, Lachlan, thank you for the question. I'm glad that you were able to get on the call. There's no single bullet here in regards to what we did in one quarter.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Lachlan, thank you for the question, and glad that you're able to get on the call. You know, there's no single bullet here in regards to what we did in one quarter. I've mentioned this previously, and this is a consistent effort that we've got to be able to continue to put forth to be able to identify earlier patients to get them diagnoses earlier and then support them through the process. I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit about some of the things that we've done, but it is really a totality of effort here that is driving this type of performance.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Lachlan, thank you for the question, and glad that you're able to get on the call. You know, there's no single bullet here in regards to what we did in one quarter. I've mentioned this previously, and this is a consistent effort that we've got to be able to continue to put forth to be able to identify earlier patients to get them diagnoses earlier and then support them through the process. I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit about some of the things that we've done, but it is really a totality of effort here that is driving this type of performance.

Speaker #5: I've mentioned this previously. And this is a consistent effort that we've got to be able to continue to put forth to be able to identify patients earlier, to get them diagnoses earlier, and then support them through the process.

Speaker #5: I'll ask Josh to talk a little bit about some of the things that we've done, but it is really a totality of effort here that is driving this type of performance.

Speaker #15: Yeah, as Neil mentioned, I think it certainly is a combination of multiple things—no single magic bullet here. Some of it is by virtue of a full year on the market and giving clinicians enough opportunity to gain some clinical experience.

Joshua Schafer: Yeah. As Neil mentioned, I think it certainly is a combination of multiple things. No single magic bullet here. Some of it is by virtue of a full year on the market and giving clinicians enough opportunity to gain some clinical experience. Also enough opportunity for us to build the disease awareness, both through our campaigns as well as our publication strategies. Some of it was our enhanced targeting and commercial execution, where we created a very bespoke AI-driven targeting model, where we looked at known NPC patients and identified their symptoms, understood their journey of clinicians with whom they, you know, got diagnosed and received some treatment.

Josh Schafer: Yeah. As Neil mentioned, I think it certainly is a combination of multiple things. No single magic bullet here. Some of it is by virtue of a full year on the market and giving clinicians enough opportunity to gain some clinical experience. Also enough opportunity for us to build the disease awareness, both through our campaigns as well as our publication strategies. Some of it was our enhanced targeting and commercial execution, where we created a very bespoke AI-driven targeting model, where we looked at known NPC patients and identified their symptoms, understood their journey of clinicians with whom they, you know, got diagnosed and received some treatment.

Speaker #15: Also, enough opportunity for us to build the disease awareness both through our campaigns as well as our publication strategies. And some of it was our enhanced targeting and commercial execution, where we created a very bespoke AI-driven targeting model, where we looked at known NPC patients and identified their symptoms, understood their journey of clinicians with whom they got diagnosed and received some treatment.

Speaker #15: And then we were able to find patients that looked like those patients in claims data and EMR data that had not yet been diagnosed, to send our reps in a much more targeted way to clinicians' offices to help them identify these patients.

Joshua Schafer: We were able to find patients that looked like those patients in claims data and EMR data that had not yet been diagnosed to send our reps in a much more targeted way to clinicians' offices to help them identify these patients.

Josh Schafer: We were able to find patients that looked like those patients in claims data and EMR data that had not yet been diagnosed to send our reps in a much more targeted way to clinicians' offices to help them identify these patients.

Speaker #5: Yeah, Josh talked about this a little bit in a previous question. But the centers of excellence that we really focus on, and then the community physicians, there is a back and forth that happens between those that is what we are working with in terms of the next generation of patients and continuing to drive.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. Josh talked about this a little bit in a previous question, you know, the centers of excellence that we really focus on and then the community physicians, there is a back and forth that happens between those. That is what we are working with in terms of the next generation of patients and continuing to drive. That breadth, though, of physicians who are prescribing and ultimately supporting patients is widening. As we think about the future, the breadth will continue as we get new patients. You know, this is an ultra-rare disease. A lot of times a physician may only see one NPC patient in their entire lives or entire careers. We wanna make sure that we continue to expand that breadth with all the tools that we're working with today.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. Josh talked about this a little bit in a previous question, you know, the centers of excellence that we really focus on and then the community physicians, there is a back and forth that happens between those. That is what we are working with in terms of the next generation of patients and continuing to drive. That breadth, though, of physicians who are prescribing and ultimately supporting patients is widening. As we think about the future, the breadth will continue as we get new patients. You know, this is an ultra-rare disease. A lot of times a physician may only see one NPC patient in their entire lives or entire careers. We wanna make sure that we continue to expand that breadth with all the tools that we're working with today.

Speaker #5: That breadth, though, of physicians who are prescribing and ultimately supporting patients is widening. So as we think about the future, the breadth will continue.

Speaker #5: As we get new patients, this is an ultra-rare disease. A lot of times, a physician may only see one NPC patient in their entire lives.

Speaker #5: Our entire careers, and we want to make sure that we continue to expand that breadth with all the tools that we're working with today.

Speaker #16: Great, thanks. And Neil, maybe another question for you, just on a different topic. You've obviously got a very strong balance sheet, and you are more or less sort of cash flow—pretty close to cash flow break-even, at least by the looks of things.

Lachlan Hanbury-Brown: Great. Thanks. Neil, maybe another question for you, just on a different topic, but you've obviously got a very strong balance sheet and you are, you know, more or less sort of cash flow, pretty close to cash flow breakeven, at least by the looks of things. How are you thinking about capital allocation, you know, in terms of you may be approaching that point where, as you've said in the past, you've proven your ability to launch MIPLYFFA, so maybe you can start looking at, you know, if there are opportunities to add other things to the pipeline or the portfolio.

Speaker #16: So how are you thinking about capital allocation in terms of, you may be approaching that point where, as you said in the past, you've proven your ability to launch Myplifa?

Speaker #16: So maybe you can start looking at if there are opportunities to add other things to the pipeline or the portfolio?

Speaker #5: Yeah, so we look at capital allocation on a quarterly basis. And I think it's important for us to reiterate that we have the cash to operate independently of the capital markets, with $238.9 million in cash at the end of the year.

Neil F. McFarlane: Yeah. We look at capital allocation on a quarterly basis. I think it's important for us to reiterate that we have the cash to operate independently of the capital markets with $238.9 million in cash at the end of the year. It's important for us because we need to execute on what's in front of us right now. We have a number of opportunities we're executing against the US market and the launch and continued investment into ensuring that we broaden access to as many patients as we can in the US. We're talking about a geographic expansion right now when we think about Europe and the continued patients that are coming in to the EAP, but also the MAA and beyond Europe as we're looking at that.

Neil McFarlane: Yeah. We look at capital allocation on a quarterly basis. I think it's important for us to reiterate that we have the cash to operate independently of the capital markets with $238.9 million in cash at the end of the year. It's important for us because we need to execute on what's in front of us right now. We have a number of opportunities we're executing against the US market and the launch and continued investment into ensuring that we broaden access to as many patients as we can in the US. We're talking about a geographic expansion right now when we think about Europe and the continued patients that are coming in to the EAP, but also the MAA and beyond Europe as we're looking at that.

Speaker #5: It's important for us because we need to execute on what's in front of us right now. We have a number of opportunities. We're executing against the US market and the launch, and continued investment into ensuring that we broaden access to as many patients as we can in the US.

Speaker #5: We're talking about a geographic expansion right now when we think about Europe and the continued patients that are coming in to the EAP, but also the MAA, and beyond Europe as we're looking at that.

Speaker #5: And then again, we're also investing in our pipeline in Salipralol. So, as we continue to invest and allocate our capital to the highest payoff activities that we can, we're well on our way to building a leading rare disease company.

Neil F. McFarlane: Again, we're also investing in our pipeline in celiprolol. As we, you know, continue to invest and allocate our capital to the highest payoff activities that we can, we're well on our way to building a leading rare disease company. We do evaluate it on a quarterly basis.

Neil McFarlane: Again, we're also investing in our pipeline in celiprolol. As we, you know, continue to invest and allocate our capital to the highest payoff activities that we can, we're well on our way to building a leading rare disease company. We do evaluate it on a quarterly basis.

Speaker #5: But we do evaluate it on a quarterly basis.

Speaker #16: Great. Thanks.

Lachlan Hanbury-Brown: Thanks.

Speaker #7: Thank you. At this time, we've reached our allotted time for questions. I'll turn the call back over to Neil McFarlane for closing comments.

Leo: Thank you. At this time, we've reached our allotted time for questions. I'll now turn the call back over to Neil MacFarlane for closing comments.

Operator: Thank you. At this time, we've reached our allotted time for questions. I'll now turn the call back over to Neil MacFarlane for closing comments.

Speaker #5: Thank you, Leo. I want to appreciate the team here today for a gallant effort in the year last year, and the team that we have that's supporting Myplifa and all of our development programs. We look forward to updating you on future calls.

Neil F. McFarlane: Thank you, Leo. I wanna appreciate the team here today for a valiant effort in the year last year and the team that we have that's supporting MIPLYFFA and all of our development programs. We look forward to updating you on future calls. Thank you very much.

Neil McFarlane: Thank you, Leo. I wanna appreciate the team here today for a valiant effort in the year last year and the team that we have that's supporting MIPLYFFA and all of our development programs. We look forward to updating you on future calls. Thank you very much.

Speaker #5: Thank you very much.

Leo: Thank you. This brings us to the end of today's meeting. We appreciate your time and participation. You may now disconnect.

Operator: Thank you. This brings us to the end of today's meeting. We appreciate your time and participation. You may now disconnect.
