CHAIR AND CEO MESSAGE
PATR ICK DAVIES & J ON PILCHER
In 2025 Neuren generated profit
after tax of A$30 million, driven by
DAYBUE® royalties growing by 15%
to A$65 million.
Cash reserves at the end of the year remained very strong
at A$296 million. Neuren’s revenue from Acadia for DAYBUE
since launch in 2023 has now exceeded A$500 million, which
represents an outstanding success by any measure. This and
our continuing disciplined investment in NNZ-2591 place
Neuren in an enviable position to create further long-term
value for shareholders.
The most important part of that value creation is the Phase
3 development program for NNZ-2591 in Phelan-McDermid
syndrome (PMS). The commencement of the Koala
Phase 3 clinical trial was a pivotal milestone for Neuren.
This was the culmination of many months of diligent
preparation, including interactions with the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA). We are very encouraged by
the support from the PMS community and look forward to
building momentum this year as the remaining trial sites
begin enrolment. We are proud to be the presenting sponsor
of the PMS Foundation Family Conference in Colorado in
July 2026, which will be a timely opportunity to engage
further with the community.
The alignment achieved at two meetings with the FDA
means that we are confident a positive result in the Koala
trial should enable us to prepare a New Drug Application.
In parallel with executing the trial we are completing all the
other studies and supply chain activities that are needed to
support an application.
We are prioritising pursuing indications for NNZ-2591 in
which we have the potential to be first to market and
maximise the impact for both patients and shareholders.
In 2025 the treatment of the consequences of brain injury
at birth (HIE) was added to PMS and Pitt Hopkins syndrome
as the three highest value priorities.
2025 was a record year for DAYBUE, with sales of US$391
million and more than 1,000 patients treated during Q4.
Even more exciting is Acadia’s guidance for 2026 sales of
US$460-490 million, which would represent year-on-year
growth of between 17% and 25%, assisted by the US launch
of DAYBUE STIX, the powder formulation of trofinetide.
STIX provides a potentially attractive new option for families
who may have declined to try or discontinued the liquid
formulation. Acadia has estimated that such families
may number as many as 400.
Patrick Davies

Jon Pilcher
CEO
As well as the continued growth in the US, we are very
pleased that Rett syndrome patients in other parts of
the world have been able to receive treatment under
Acadia’s named patient programs, which are also
providing a growing contribution to sales. Meanwhile,
a small clinical study is underway in Japan, with results
expected in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027 to support a potential
marketing authorisation in that important market. Acadia
has demonstrated its ongoing commitment to the Rett
syndrome community in Europe through its request for a
re-examination of the recent European Medicines Agency
decision to deny marketing authorisation. Neuren believes
that the community deserves a positive outcome. In the
meantime, the fall in our share price following the decision
far exceeded the valuation impact on Neuren, which means
that if it were to be reversed this would now represent
pure upside.
Last month we initiated another share buyback program
given what we believe is a material undervaluation of
our assets in the current market, by reference to our own
models and to those of the eight broker research analysts
who formally cover Neuren. Our cash position, supported
by growing cash flows from the DAYBUE franchise mean
that Neuren’s NNZ-2591 development programs remain
well funded alongside the buy-back.
There is so much to look forward to in 2026 as our strategy
advances, encompassing acceleration of enrolment in
the Koala trial, initiation of the next stage for Pitt Hopkins
and HIE, the anticipated impact of DAYBUE STIX in the
US, completion of the small trial to support a marketing
application in Japan and the result of the re-examination
in Europe.
We are grateful to our shareholders and the whole Neuren
team for their ongoing dedication to what we all believe
is such a meaningful mission. Delivering the impact on
patients and their families that we are striving for should
ultimately result in highly positive outcomes for all
stakeholders.

Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited Annual Report 2025
OPERATING REVIEW
by both major types of brain cells – neurons and glia. IGF-1
in the brain is critical both for normal development and
to maintain or restore the biological balance required for
normal functioning. During development, the brain and the
cells that comprise it change rapidly and in complex ways.
IGF-1 and its metabolites play a significant role in regulating
these changes. In the mature brain, these molecules play an
important role in responding to disease, stress and injury.
Trofinetide and NNZ-2591 mimic the function of the natural
molecules in the brain, however each drug is designed to
have a longer half-life in circulation, be suitable for use
as an oral medication, more readily cross the blood brain
barrier and have better stability for longer and easier
storage and shipping. Whereas many drugs typically
exert a specific effect on a specific target related to one
symptom, trofinetide and NNZ-2591 exert diverse effects
which can help to control or normalise abnormal biological
processes in the brain. This means that the target is to
have a broad impact on the condition rather than aiming
to treat one symptom.
NEUREN’S GROUND-BREAKING THERAPIES
Neuren develops drug therapies for serious neurological
conditions, caused by genetic abnormalities or brain
injury, that have no or limited approved treatment options.
These conditions involve disruptions to brain development
or function which lead to a wide range of serious issues
affecting nearly every aspect of life. The impact on the
patients and their families is severe and life-long. Neuren
strives to develop therapies in close collaboration with the
leading specialist physicians and the well-organised patient
advocacy organisations.
Each condition is caused by a different genetic mutation,
or in the case of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
by brain injury resulting from lack of oxygen or blood flow
to the brain at birth, but they share similar symptoms and
the common characteristic of impaired connections and
signalling between brain cells. Neuren’s two novel patented
drugs, trofinetide and NNZ-2591 (ercanetide), potentially
have broad utility in the treatment of neurological
conditions. Both drugs are synthetic analogues of important
molecules that occur naturally in the brain and are involved
in the biology of IGF-1, a growth factor stimulated by growth
hormone. In the central nervous system, IGF-1 is produced

THE IMPORTANCE OF ORPHAN DRUG
DESIGNATION
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European
Medicines Agency (EMA) have both granted Orphan Drug
designation for trofinetide in Rett syndrome and Fragile X
syndrome and for NNZ-2591 in each of Phelan-McDermid,
Pitt Hopkins and Angelman syndromes. The FDA has also
granted Orphan Drug designation for NNZ-2591 in Prader-
Willi syndrome.
Orphan Drug designation is a special status that the
regulators may grant to a drug to treat a rare disease
or condition. Amongst other incentives, Orphan Drug
designation qualifies the sponsor of the drug for exclusivity
periods during which the regulators will not approve a
generic competitor product. These marketing exclusivity
periods are extremely valuable for the commercialisation
of Orphan Drugs. They provide additional protection, along
with patents, against generic competitors and potentially
can continue to provide protection after patent expiry.
The exclusivity periods after marketing authorisation of
products approved for pediatric use are 7.5 years in the
United States and 12 years in the EMA region. Japan, South
Korea and Taiwan also have Orphan Drug programs.
As well as the exclusivity periods, Orphan Drugs have many
other commercial advantages compared with existing
markets that have apparently attractive large sales in which
established products and companies have to be displaced.
The serious and urgent unmet need results in a more
supportive regulatory and pricing environment and strong
engagement from the patient community and leading
physicians. Historical data indicates a higher probability
of achieving regulatory approval and the potential for
immediate access to known patients means that a large
sales organisation is less important.
In short, the Orphan Drug business model targets a
leadership position in markets with urgent need, at an
attractive price and with a higher probability of getting
to market.
The conditions that Neuren is aiming to treat are “rare
diseases”, however they are not “ultra-rare”, and in each
condition there are tens of thousands of potential patients
around the world.
COMMERCIAL EXCLUSIVITY
In addition to the primary protection of the important
exclusivity periods from Orphan Drug designation explained
above, Neuren has additional commercial protection from
issued patents extending as far as 2040 and pending patent
applications extending as far as 2046. Since trofinetide
and NNZ-2591 are new chemical entities, following the first
marketing authorisation for each drug, the term of one
patent may potentially be extended by up to 5 years in many
countries, including the United States, Europe and Japan.
OTHER REGULATORY INCENTIVES
The FDA has granted Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease
designations for NNZ-2591 in each of Phelan-McDermid,
Pitt Hopkins and Angelman syndromes. Trofinetide also
received Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease designations
before its approval in the US.
Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the
development and expedite the review of drugs to treat
serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. The
purpose is to get important new drugs to the patient earlier.
Fast Track addresses a broad range of serious conditions.
A drug that receives Fast Track designation is eligible for
some or all of the following:
– More frequent meetings with FDA to discuss the drug’s
development plan and ensure collection of appropriate
data needed to support drug approval
– More frequent written communication from FDA about
such things as the design of the proposed clinical trials
and use of biomarkers
– Eligibility for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review,
if relevant criteria are met
– Rolling Review, which means that a drug company
can submit completed sections of its Biologic License
Application (BLA) or New Drug Application (NDA) for
review by FDA, rather than waiting until every section
of the NDA is completed before the entire application
can be reviewed. BLA or NDA review usually does not
begin until the drug company has submitted the entire
application to the FDA
The Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV)
program provides for the award of a PRV to drug developers
that receive FDA approval for a drug for a designated
rare pediatric disease. The voucher entitles the holder to
priority review of a different drug or may be transferred or
sold to another drug developer. The Rare Pediatric Disease
PRV program has been reauthorized by the United States
Congress to 30 September 2029. Recently in January
and February 2026, two drug developers announced the
sale of vouchers for US$200 million and US$205 million
respectively.

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, potentially facilitating treatment of a significant
number of new patients from families who had declined
to try or discontinued the liquid formulation. DAYBUE
STIX is being launched on a limited basis in Q1 2026 and
more broadly early in Q2 2026. The existing oral solution
formulation will remain available.

trofinetide, Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD),
received FDA approval of DAYBUE® (trofinetide) for the
treatment of Rett syndrome in adult and pediatric patients
two years of age and older. On 17 April 2023, Acadia
launched DAYBUE in the United States as the first ever
approved treatment for Rett syndrome. Access to DAYBUE
has been well supported by Medicaid and private health
insurance payors.
During 2025, Acadia activated named patient supply
programs across multiple regions including Europe,
the Middle East and Latin America.

ABOUT RETT SYNDROME
Rett syndrome is a seriously debilitating and life-threatening neurological disorder. It is first recognized in infancy
and seen predominantly in girls, but can occur very rarely in boys. At diagnosis, Rett syndrome has often been
misdiagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy, or non-specific developmental delay. Most cases of Rett syndrome are
caused by mutations on the X chromosome on a gene called MECP2. Rett syndrome strikes all racial and ethnic
groups and has been estimated to occur worldwide in 1 of every 10,000 to 15,000 female births, causing problems
in brain function that are responsible for cognitive, sensory, emotional, motor and autonomic function. These
problems can include learning, speech, sensory sensations, mood, movement, breathing, cardiac function, and
even chewing, swallowing, and digestion. Rett syndrome symptoms appear after an early period of apparently
normal or near normal development until six to eighteen months of life, when there is a slowing down or stagnation
of skills. A period of regression then follows, with loss of communication skills and purposeful hand use, loss or
impairment of walking, and the onset of stereotypic hand movements. Other problems frequently include seizures
and erratic breathing patterns, an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine (scoliosis), and sleep disturbances.

LONG TERM GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FOR
TROFINETIDE THROUGH GLOBAL EXPANSION
There is urgent unmet need for a treatment for Rett
syndrome around the world, evidenced by communications
received from families, patient support groups and
physicians.
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 March 2026, Acadia was informed by
the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use
(CHMP) of the EMA of a negative opinion vote regarding
the MAA. Acadia is requesting a re-examination of the
opinion by the CHMP. 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

NEUREN’S ATTRACTIVE ECONOMICS
FROM DAYBUE (TROFINETIDE)
In the period since launch, Neuren has earned cumulative
income from DAYBUE of A$510 million. In 2025, Neuren
earned royalty income from DAYBUE of A$65 million.
Assuming Acadia’s 2026 net sales guidance for DAYBUE
is met and an exchange rate range of 0.70-0.72, Neuren
anticipates earning full-year royalties of A$70-77 million.
Neuren is eligible to receive ongoing royalties on global
net sales of trofinetide, plus one-time milestone payments
on achievement of certain events such as first commercial
sale in a specific region, and one-time milestone payments
on achievement of a series of thresholds of total annual net
sales in a specific region. No royalties or similar costs are
payable by Neuren to third parties, which means Neuren’s
revenue from Acadia flows through to pre-tax profit. The
royalty rates and sales milestone payments for a specific
region are related to the total amount of annual net sales
of trofinetide in all products and indications in that region.
Neuren’s economics from DAYBUE in North America and
outside North America are set out in the following tables:

Neuren is developing NNZ-2591 for multiple serious neurological conditions. The estimated number of potential patients
being targeted across these conditions is multiple times larger than Rett syndrome. In designing and executing the NNZ-2591
development program, Neuren has been able to leverage the extensive and highly relevant experience the Neuren team has
gained from the trofinetide Rett syndrome program across manufacturing, non-clinical, clinical and regulatory.
Neuren is prioritising three indications in which NNZ-2591 can potentially have the maximum commercial value and the largest
impact for patients.
