Speaker #3: Thank you, Mike. And thank you, everyone, for joining our Q1 2026 financial results and business update call. I want to begin by highlighting two points that underscore the strength of our business today.

Dror Bashan: Thank you, Mike, and thank you everyone for joining our Q1 2026 financial results and business update call. I want to begin by highlighting two points that underscore the strengths of our business today. First, during the quarter, we received the $25 million milestone from Chiesi following the European Commission approval of Elfabrio's every four weeks dosing regimen. As a result, we ended the first quarter of this year with $51 million in cash, providing us with a strong balance sheet and substantial financial flexibility and sufficient funds to support our ongoing operations as well as our phase II RELEASE study with PRX-115. Second, we are reaffirming our 2026 guidance. We continue to expect total revenue for the year to range from approximately $78 to 83 million, inclusive of the $25 million milestones received from Chiesi.

Speaker #3: We continue to expect total revenue for the year to range from approximately $78 million to $83 million, inclusive of the $25 million milestones received from KSE.

Speaker #3: Within that outlook, we anticipate a fabulous revenue excluding milestones of approximately $33 to $35 million and LLI revenues of approximately $20 to $23 million.

Dror Bashan: Within that outlook, we anticipate Elfabrio revenues excluding milestones of approximately USD 33 to 35 million and Elelyso revenues of approximately USD 20 to 23 million. Taken together, this guidance reflects the strengths of our commercial partnerships and our confidence in execution across our business for the year ahead. We entered 2026 with good momentum with the regulatory progress for Elfabrio in Europe, which triggered the $25 million milestone payment, the continued enrollment of our PRX-115 phase II RELEASE study, and a growing focus on our rare renal disease preclinical pipeline. We remain confident in our strategy for the years ahead. Our partner, Chiesi, continues to execute it well with Elfabrio across approved markets. Following the European Commission recent approval of every 4 weeks regimen, we believe Elfabrio is well-positioned to meaningfully reduce treatment burden for eligible patients in the European Union without compromising efficacy.

Speaker #3: This added dosing flexibility strengthens the fabulous competitive position and supports broader adoption over time. In the United States, the FDA approved dosing regimen remains unchanged.

Dror Bashan: This added dosing flexibility strengthens Elfabrio's competitive position and supports broader adoption over time. In the United States, the FDA-approved dosing regimen remains unchanged. Looking longer term, with the global Fabry market projected to approach approximately $3.2 billion by 2031, we believe Elfabrio has the potential to achieve a meaningful 15% to 20% market share globally, supported by its differentiated profile. We believe our revenue mix, particularly the continuing expansion of Elfabrio, positions us well for substantial long-term value creation. On our clinical side, PRX-115 continues to move forward as planned. The phase II RELEASE study is actively enrolling, and we remain encouraged by the program profile based on the phase I data. We believe it has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with uncontrolled gout. We continue to expect top-line results in the H2 2027.

Dror Bashan: Beyond 115, our strategy remains centered on rare renal diseases, where we believe our capabilities and platform offer a clear advantage. In our view, our business model limits downside risk while preserving meaningful upside as we advance our clinical programs and continue our commercial partnership.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Dror. For the first quarter of 2026, total revenue was $33.8 million, driven mainly by the $25 million milestone payment received from KSE following approval of the every four weeks dosing regimen for a fabulous in Europe.

Gilad Mamlok: Thank you, Dror. For Q1 2026, total revenue was $33.8 million, driven mainly by the $25 million milestone payment received from Chiesi following approval of the every 4 weeks dosing regimen for Elfabrio in Europe. This milestone underscores the value embedded in our commercial partnerships. Revenues from selling goods were $7.4 million, compared to $10 million in Q1 2025. This change reflects lower Elelyso purchases by Pfizer and Fiocruz, mainly due to timing and inventory dynamics, and was partially offset by sales to Chiesi. As we have noted previously, quarterly product revenues can fluctuate based on partner purchasing patterns, and we encourage investors to focus on full year performance rather than quarter-to-quarter viability. Cost of revenues was $4.1 million, compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2025.

Speaker #2: Cost of revenues was $4.1 million, compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower sales volumes to Pfizer and Fiocus, partially offset by increased sales to KSE.

Gilad Mamlok: The decrease was mainly attributable to lower sales volumes to Pfizer and Fiocruz, partially offset by increased sales to Chiesi. R&D expenses increased to $5.4 million, up from $2.5 million in the prior year period, driven mainly by preparations for an initiation of the PRX-115 phase II RELEASE study. This increase reflects a deliberate allocation of capital towards advancing PRX-115, which remains our top clinical priority. SG&A expenses were $3.1 million, up $0.5 million, reflecting modest growth year over year, largely attributable to personnel-related costs.

Dror Bashan: Hey, Ram Selvaraju. Thank you. I think as we mentioned last time, Chiesi, we received the approval for 1 in 4 weeks on 5 March. Chiesi is now in a process of going country by country and getting the local reimbursement approval. I think we are going to see the effect mostly in H2, and we expect H2 to be much stronger with regards to Chiesi sales. At that point of time, we still stick to the same guidelines we provided.

Dror Bashan: Hey, Ram Selvaraju. Thank you. I think as we mentioned last time, Chiesi, we received the approval for 1 in 4 weeks on 5 March.

Speaker #5: And KSE is now in a process of going country by country and getting the local reimbursement approval. So I think we are going to see the effect mostly in the second half of the year and we expect the second half of the year to be much stronger with regards to KSE sales.

Speaker #5: At that point of time, we still stick to the same guidance we provided.

Speaker #4: And secondly, can you provide any commentary on how enrollment is going in the release trial and if you can potentially provide us with timing for completion of enrollment?

Speaker #5: Our target is to finish enrollment by the end of 2026 and have the top end results in the second half of 2027.

Speaker #4: And then lastly, with respect to the positioning of 115 in the overall gout market, do you expect this to change meaningfully with the advent of next-generation URAP1 inhibitors or do you anticipate that the treatment refractory gout the refractory gout market segment is more or less likely to remain the same?

Ram Selvaraju: Lastly, with respect to the positioning of 115 in the overall gout market, do you expect this to change meaningfully with the advent of next generation URAT1 inhibitors? Or do you anticipate that the refractory gout market segment is more or less likely to remain the same?

John Vandermosten: Good morning, Dror, Gilad, or good afternoon. I know you mentioned that it's only the very first initial stages of the launch of Elfabrio for every 4 weeks. Do you have any initial data or initial insight into the, you know, the uptake in the market on that, on that approach?

John Vandermosten: Good morning, Dror, Gilad, or good afternoon. I know you mentioned that it's only the very first initial stages of the launch of Elfabrio for every 4 weeks. Do you have any initial data or initial insight into the, you know, the uptake in the market on that, on that approach?

Speaker #4: But do you have any initial data or initial insight into the uptake in the market on that approach?

Speaker #5: It's too early for that, John. Good morning and thank you. But we do see I mean, when we talk with KSE, I mean, they're optimistic about the progress and they expect to see the progress.

Dror Bashan: It's too early for that, John. Good morning, and thank you. We do see I mean, when we talk with Chiesi, I mean, they are optimistic about the progress and they expect to see the progress. Again, in terms of seeing the actual results, I don't think we're going to see them before the H2 of the year.

Dror Bashan: It's too early for that, John. Good morning, and thank you. We do see I mean, when we talk with Chiesi, I mean, they are optimistic about the progress and they expect to see the progress. Again, in terms of seeing the actual results, I don't think we're going to see them before the H2 of the year.

Speaker #5: But again, in terms of think we're going to see them before the second half of the year.

Speaker #4: Understood. And there was a mention in the press release about KSE continuing launches and regulatory efforts. Around the globe, and can you give us an update on how things are going on that respect?

John Vandermosten: Understood. There was a mention in the press release about Chiesi continuing launches and regulatory efforts around the globe. Can you give us an update on, you know, how things are going in that respect, any new geographies, and any geographies that we should expect in the next few months or next quarters, in terms of expanding exposure of patients to Elfabrio?

John Vandermosten: Understood. There was a mention in the press release about Chiesi continuing launches and regulatory efforts around the globe. Can you give us an update on, you know, how things are going in that respect, any new geographies, and any geographies that we should expect in the next few months or next quarters, in terms of expanding exposure of patients to Elfabrio?

Speaker #4: Any new geographies, and any geographies that we should expect in the next few months or next quarters in terms of expanding exposure of patients to Alphabrio?

Speaker #5: So the few targets from KSE in the next 12 months, I would say some are more significant, some are less, but we are going to report them immediately once there's approval.

Dror Bashan: There are a few targets from Chiesi in the next 12 months, I would say. Some are more significant, some are less, but we are going to report them immediately once there's approval. It's a continuous route of getting more approvals, and we see what they have in the pipelines, and then we will update as soon as they receive the approval.

Speaker #5: But it's a continuous route of getting more approvals, and we see what they have in the pipeline, and we will update as soon as they receive the approval.

Speaker #4: And then there's also a mention of Purex 119, and I was wondering what's the next milestone for Purex 119? And I'm thinking also in terms of getting into the clinic or I&D submission or something like that.

John Vandermosten: There's also mention of PRX-119, and I was wondering what's the next milestone for PRX-119? I'm thinking also, you know, in terms of like getting into the clinic or IND submission or something like that. How does that look, that program?
