As shown in the table above, in 2025 royalty revenue of A$64.6 million was earned under the license agreement with Acadia,
up 15% from A$56.2 million in 2024. Interest income was A$12.2 million (2024: A$11.0 million). In 2024 revenue from Acadia
also included one-time sales milestone revenue of A$80.5 million, as DAYBUE net sales for the year in North America
exceeded US$250 million, and one-time revenue from Neuren’s share of Priority Review Voucher sale proceeds of A$76.5
million. Other income in 2025 includes a foreign currency gain of A$8.0 million mainly due to the translation of cash and short-
term investments held in Australian dollars to the US dollars functional currency (2024: A$7.2 million loss). In 2024, there was
a A$3.6 million gain on the fair value of outstanding forward contracts to sell Australian dollars and buy US dollars.
Research and development costs increased by A$3.4 million to A$36.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, with
higher expenditure due to the start-up of the Phase 3 trial of NNZ-2591 in Phelan-McDermid syndrome.
Corporate and administrative costs of A$6.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 increased by A$1.5 million from
the prior period, mainly due to increased share-based payments expense relating to new share options issued during 2025.
A loss of A$3.3 million on the fair value of outstanding forward contracts to sell Australian dollars and buy US dollars was
recognised at 31 December 2025 (2024: A$3.6 million gain). Income tax expense for 2025 was A$8.5 million (2024: A$40.9
million).
Net profit after income tax for the year ended 31 December 2025 was A$30.4 million (2024: A$142.0 million).

Preliminary final report
10. Commentary on the results
Trofinetide
In April 2023, Neuren’s exclusive worldwide licensee for trofinetide, Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD), launched
DAYBUE® (trofinetide) in the United States as the first approved treatment for Rett syndrome.
DAYBUE net sales for the year ended 31 December 2025 were US$391 million, delivering royalties of A$64.6 million to
Neuren. The number of unique patients receiving a DAYBUE shipment continued to grow in 2025, exceeding 1,000 for the
first time. The persistency rate after 12 months of treatment has increased to approximately 55%. There is substantial potential
for further growth in the US with two-thirds of the 6,000 diagnosed Rett patients yet to try DAYBUE. During the year, Acadia
completed an expansion of its DAYBUE field force in the US by ~30% to accelerate future growth in the community outside
the Rett syndrome centres of excellence. In Q4 2025 76% of new prescriptions originated from the community setting.
In December 2025, Acadia received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of DAYBUE STIX (trofinetide) for oral
solution, a dye- and preservative-free powder formulation of trofinetide for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adult and pediatric
patients two years of age and older. The new powder formulation offers children and adults living with Rett syndrome new
flexibility and choice regarding the dose volume and taste of their DAYBUE treatment. Acadia expects DAYBUE STIX to be
available on a limited basis starting in the first quarter of 2026 and more broadly early in the second quarter of 2026. The
current oral solution formulation will remain available. The powder formulation could potentially facilitate treatment of a
significant number of additional patients from families who have declined to try or discontinued the liquid formulation.
In January 2025, Acadia submitted a Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA)
for trofinetide for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients two years of age and older. In February 2026,
following completion of an oral explanation, Acadia was informed by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use
(CHMP) of the EMA of a negative trend vote on the MAA. Subject to the outcome of the formal CHMP vote in late February,
Acadia intends to request a re-examination of the opinion by the CHMP upon its formal adoption. Pursuant to EU legislation,
an applicant has the right to request a re-examination of a CHMP opinion within 15 calendar days of receipt of the opinion,
followed by submission of the grounds for the request for re-examination within 60 calendar days of receipt of the opinion.
The CHMP has up to 60 days after receipt of these grounds to re-examine its opinion, with new rapporteurs appointed for the
re-examination. During the year Acadia continued to build its European commercialisation team. If granted marketing
authorisation, trofinetide would be the first and only approved therapy for Rett syndrome in the European Union.
Acadia announced the approval of DAYBUE oral solution by the Ministry of Health in Israel in January 2026. In Japan,
trofinetide received Orphan Drug Designation and Acadia commenced the planned Phase 3 clinical trial in Japan in Q3
2025. Named patient supply programs are active across multiple regions including Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.
Acadia has provided guidance for full-year net sales in 2026 of US$460-490 million. The guidance comprises sales only from
the US and international named patient programs, with no inclusion of EU commercial sales from any potential EU marketing
authorization. Assuming this guidance is met and an exchange rate of 0.70 to 0.72, Neuren anticipates earning full-year 2026
royalties of A$70-77 million.
NNZ-2591
Neuren is developing a second drug NNZ-2591 for multiple serious neurodevelopmental disorders with different genetic origins
that have no or limited approved treatment options. Recognising the urgent unmet need, programs have been granted “orphan
drug” designation in the United States. Orphan drug designation provides incentives to encourage development of therapies
for rare and serious diseases.
In 2024, Neuren achieved positive top-line results from the Phase 2 clinical trials of NNZ-2591 in children with Phelan-
McDermid syndrome (PMS), Pitt Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) and Angelman syndrome (AS).
PMS
In April 2025, Neuren announced that the primary endpoints for a single Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial of NNZ-2591 in PMS had
been agreed with the FDA. Alignment with FDA was previously reached on the other key features of the Phase 3 program at
an End of Phase 2 Meeting. In the second half of 2025, Neuren initiated the first two sites in the United States for the Koala
Phase 3 trial and the first participant commenced dosing in February 2026. Koala is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of NNZ-2591 in approximately 160 children aged 3 to 12
years with PMS. A screening period of up to 4 weeks is followed by treatment with NNZ-2591 or placebo for 13 weeks. All
participants may be eligible to continue treatment with NNZ-2591 for 12 months in an open-label extension trial.
Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited
Appendix 4E
Preliminary final report
The Koala trial co-primary endpoints will be the change from baseline in the Receptive Communication sub-domain of the
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition (VABS-3 Receptive-Raw Score) and the overall score in the Phelan-
McDermid Syndrome Assessment of Change (PMSA-C, previously referred to as CGI-I in Neuren’s Phase 2 trial). Both
measures were robustly positive with clinically meaningful improvement in Neuren’s Phase 2 open-label clinical trial. 16 out
of 18 children showed improvement measured by the VABS-3 Receptive-Raw Score, with mean improvement of 7.5 from a
mean baseline of 29.0 (Wilcoxon signed rank test p=0.0001) and 16 out of 18 children showed improvement from baseline
measured by the PMSA-C with a mean score of 2.4 (Wilcoxon signed rank test p<0.0001). The endpoints pair the caregiver’s
assessment of change in one important symptom area with the clinician’s assessment of change across multiple aspects of
PMS. Communication is one of the most impactful health concerns in PMS reported by caregivers. Receptive communication,
as measured by VABS-3 Receptive-Raw Score, is the ability to receive and understand non-verbal and verbal interactions
which is a foundational skill for the development of learning, social interaction, and speech.
In October 2025, Neuren was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for the PMS program. Neuren’s financial strength
means that no additional funding is required to execute the program.
PTHS
During 2025, Neuren was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA for the PTHS program and a new patent covering NNZ-
2591 to treat PTHS was also granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
In early 2026, Neuren received feedback from the FDA regarding its clinical development plans for PTHS, which indicated
that in a controlled trial to demonstrate efficacy of NNZ-2591, a PTHS-specific clinical global impression (CGI) scale may be
used as a co-primary endpoint if it is accompanied by an observer-reported functional outcome measure. This is similar to the
approach that was agreed and is being implemented in Neuren’s ongoing Phase 3 trial in Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS).
Neuren is currently assessing alternative trial designs and endpoint analysis methodologies to accommodate that PTHS is
significantly more rare and generally more profoundly disabling than PMS. A further interaction with the FDA will likely be
required to finalise this assessment.
During 2025 Neuren also added two new indications, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and SYNGAP1-related disorder
(SRD) into its neurodevelopmental disorders pipeline for NNZ-2591.
HIE
HIE is a devastating type of brain injury caused when a baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen or blood flow before or
shortly after birth. Many thousands of babies and children experience HIE every year. It is one of the leading causes of
neonatal death and neurodevelopmental disability worldwide.
HIE can lead to a range of symptoms in surviving children, including developmental delays, cognitive impairment, cerebral
palsy, and seizures. Some children develop serious long-term complications that can affect them well into
adulthood. Currently, the only approved treatment for HIE is temporary hypothermia (cooling the head or whole body to lower
the baby’s metabolic rate and give the brain some time to recover from the hypoxic event). Hypothermia provides a modest
decrease in mortality and severe neurodevelopmental disability, however even with hypothermia, 40-45% of children who
survive HIE have significant neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years of age. Based on its therapeutic properties and data
from a range of preclinical models, Neuren believes that NNZ-2591 can potentially provide a highly differentiated form of
treatment continuing beyond acute treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit to target both the acute effects and chronic
impairments resulting from HIE. In September 2025 Neuren commenced a formal partnership with Hope for HIE supporting
development of NNZ-2591 to treat HIE. Hope for HIE is the global organization connecting families, researchers, clinicians,
biotech and more to improve the quality of life for children and families impacted by HIE.
In February 2026, Neuren received feedback on its plan to submit an IND application for the treatment of HIE and the proposed
initial clinical study of the pharmacokinetics, tolerability and safety of NNZ-2591 for one month in neonates and infants with
HIE to open the IND. FDA generally accepted this IND-opening clinical study and the doses of NNZ-2591 to be evaluated,
providing some guidance on the inclusion/exclusion criteria and safety monitoring. FDA requested that Neuren provides
additional juvenile animal study data to support NNZ-2591 dosing in neonatal participants prior to initiating the clinical study.
Neuren plans to generate this data before submitting the IND application and commencing the clinical study. In parallel,
Neuren is continuing to advance the logistical requirements for study execution. FDA also encouraged Neuren to submit a
future meeting request to discuss appropriate endpoints, study population, and safety monitoring for a subsequent study,
which Neuren intends will support registration.

Preliminary final report
SRD
SRD is caused by a variant on the SYNGAP1 gene located on Chromosome 6, which is responsible for producing the
SYNGAP1 protein. The protein acts as a regulator in the synapses and insufficient production leads to impaired
communication between neurons. This results in the many neurological issues seen in SYNGAP1 patients, including
intellectual disability, low muscle tone, global development delay, epilepsy, sensory processing disorder, gross and fine motor
skill delays, coordination disorder, speech delay, sleep and behavior disorder and autism spectrum disorder.
In an in-vitro model of SRD in human iPSC-derived neurons, treatment with NNZ-2591 reversed the neuronal dysfunction
caused by SYNGAP1 haploinsufficiency.

Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited
Appendix 4E
Preliminary final report
The Group’s net profit after income tax for the year ended 31 December 2025 was A$30.4 million (2024: A$142.0 million).
The basic earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 was A$0.2373 (31 December 2024: earnings per share
A$1.111) based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of approximately 128.2 million (2024: 127.8 million).
Total cash and short-term investments at 31 December 2025 were A$296.1 million (31 December 2024: A$222.2 million). Net
cash generated from operating activities was A$125.4 million, compared with net cash used of A$11.3 million for year ended
31 December 2024. This is mainly due to receipts from license agreements, with receipt of the first sales milestone and share
of priority review voucher sale proceeds, both of which were earned in Q4 2024 and received in Q1 2025. The receipts from
license agreements for the year ended 31 December 2024 included only the receipt of quarterly royalties. Neuren made tax
payments of A$54.2 million in the year ended 31 December 2025, which included A$43.1 million for 2024 tax, and A$11.1
million of tax instalments for 2025, compared with A$37.2 million of tax payments made in 2024.
Net cash used in financing activities was A$33.2 million, comprising A$39.6 million of payments for the share buy-back, offset
by A$6.4 million of proceeds received on conversion of loan funded shares and exercise of share options.
