Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 22% to $1.7 million from $1.4 million in the prior year period, driven by a 24% increase in partnership revenue (Terumo) and a 12% increase in product revenue.
• Expense Increase: Net loss widened 29% to $38.1 million. Research and development expenses rose 35% to $27.3 million, primarily due to increased clinical development costs for the BACKBEAT study and the planned Virtue SAB pivotal trial.
• Interest Income Decline: Net interest income dropped 93% to $130,000 due to lower marketable securities balances and interest expense from the Hercules term loan.
• Liquidity Position: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.5 million during the period, though the company maintained a total of $33.9 million in liquid assets (cash + marketable securities) as of June 30, 2025.

Guidance, Outlook, and Material Events

Subsequent Events (Post-June 30, 2025):

• Ligand Transaction: On August 4, 2025, the company closed a Revenue Participation Right agreement with Ligand Pharmaceuticals, receiving $20.0 million immediately, with an additional $15.0 million payable in May 2026. Ligand also purchased $5.0 million of common stock.
• Public Offering: On August 4, 2025, the company completed a public offering raising approximately $40.0 million gross proceeds.
• Medtronic Loan: Entered into a $20.0 million convertible loan agreement with Medtronic, with funding scheduled for April 2026. Medtronic also purchased $11.2 million of common stock in a private placement.
• Debt Amendment: Amended the Hercules Loan and Security Agreement to delay amortization start dates and increase available borrowing capacity.

Outlook: Management expects to continue incurring significant losses. Based on current cash, marketable securities, and committed future proceeds, the company anticipates sufficient capital to fund operations into the second half of 2027. The company is targeting the initiation of the Virtue SAB pivotal study in the second half of 2025.

Risks: The company is currently in formal mediation with Terumo regarding the restructuring or termination of their agreement due to missed milestone dates. Failure to resolve this could impact commercialization plans for Virtue SAB.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Mediation Status: Verify the outcome of the ongoing mediation with Terumo regarding the Virtue SAB agreement and potential termination risks.
• Cash Runway: Confirm the actual receipt of the $15.0 million second installment from Ligand (due May 2026) and the $20.0 million Medtronic loan (due April 2026) to validate the 2027 liquidity projection.
• Clinical Milestones: Monitor enrollment progress for the BACKBEAT study (targeting mid-2026 completion) and the initiation of the Virtue SAB pivotal study (targeting H2 2025).
• Dilution Impact: Assess the dilution effect from the recent public offering, private placements, and the issuance of warrants to Ligand and Hercules lenders.
• Debt Covenants: Review the amended Hercules loan covenants, specifically the "Minimum Cash Covenant" requirements effective December 1, 2025.
