Comments
The profit after income tax for the half-year ended 30 June 2024 was A$8.0 million, compared with a net profit after tax of
A$47.8 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2023.
Royalty revenue from Acadia increased to A$24.3 million from A$3.5 million in the half-year ended 30 June 2023. This increase
was offset by milestone revenue in the half-year to 30 June 2023 of A$59.4 million, which was earned on the first
commercial sale of DAYBUE. Milestone revenue of A$77 million (assuming USD/AUD exchange rate of 0.65) is expected to
be earned in the second half of 2024, receivable for the first calendar year in which net sales of DAYBUE are equal to or
greater than US$250 million.

and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 30 June 2024.

Principal activities
During the financial half-year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of:
●
Development of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders
●
Milestone and royalty revenue from licence of intellectual property
Review of operations
Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Neuren” or the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) is a
biopharmaceutical company, incorporated in New Zealand and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: NEU).
Neuren is developing new drug therapies to treat multiple serious neurological disorders that emerge in early childhood.
Trofinetide
In April 2023, Neuren’s worldwide partner for trofinetide, Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD) launched DAYBUE™
(trofinetide) in the United States as the first approved treatment for Rett syndrome.
Net sales for the half-year to 30 June 2024 were US$160.5 million, delivering royalties of A$24.3 million to Neuren. Acadia
has provided guidance for full-year net sales in 2024 of US$340-370 million. Assuming this guidance is met and an exchange
rate of 0.65, Neuren anticipates earning royalties of A$55-61 million as well as A$77 million from the first sales milestone
payment which is due for the first calendar year in which net sales exceed US$250 million.
Adoption of DAYBUE in the diagnosed Rett syndrome population has been faster than expected and caregivers and
physicians have continued to report meaningful improvements in patients. At 1 August 2024, approximately 900 patients were
on treatment with DAYBUE, with the high demand well supported by access from Medicaid and private health insurance
payors. In the United States there are approximately 5,000 diagnosed Rett syndrome patients and prevalence studies suggest
the total number of patients may be 6,000 to 9,000. The rate of persistence on therapy continues to trend more than 10%
higher than the experience in clinical trials, with the rate for patients after 9 months of treatment currently at 58%. Penetration
continues to increase, with approximately 30% of the 5,000 diagnosed patients having initiated therapy. In market research,
physicians surveyed stated that over the next 24 months they expect to expand prescribing to more than 70% of their eligible
patients.

Neuren Pharmaceuticals Ltd
Directors' report
30 June 2024
Real-world experience on therapy is an important source of information, which can be more readily understood than clinical
trial data. In June 2024, Acadia presented interim data from the open-label real-world LOTUS™ study at the 2024 International
Rett Syndrome Foundation (IRSF) Annual Scientific Meeting. LOTUS is an ongoing, caregiver-reported study evaluating the
efficacy and tolerability outcomes in patients with Rett syndrome treated with DAYBUE. Six-month interim findings evaluating
DAYBUE in 101 Rett syndrome patients with an age range of two to 60 years old from the Phase 4, observational, prospective
study showed caregivers for 67.7% to 82.2% of enrolled participants reported improvements at months 1 to 6 in at least one
Rett syndrome symptoms category. This was measured using the Behavioral Improvement Questionnaire (BIQ) developed
by Acadia in consultation with Rett experts and caregivers. The most consistently reported improvements over six months
were nonverbal communication (58.5%), alertness (51.2%) and social interaction/connectedness (40.2%). Caregivers also
completed the Gastrointestinal (GI) Health Questionnaire, developed by Acadia for this study. At month 6 diarrhea was
reported by 31.7% of caregivers. Some participants reported initiating therapy on doses less than half of the FDA approved
dose and increasing over several weeks; the majority of patients were on >90% of labeled dose by week 10.
Under the terms of the licence agreement with Acadia, Neuren is eligible to receive ongoing quarterly royalties on net sales
of trofinetide in North America, plus milestone payments of up to US$350 million on achievement of a series of four thresholds
of total annual net sales, plus one third of the market value of the Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher that was
awarded to Acadia by the FDA, contingent on Acadia selling or using the voucher. Neuren estimates the value of its one third
share as US$33 million.
For Canada, which is included in the economics for North America, Acadia’s New Drug Submission (NDS) filing was accepted
for Priority Review by Health Canada, which means there is potential for approval around year-end 2024.
Acadia is also advancing in key markets outside North America. For Europe, Acadia’s Pediatric investigation plan (PIP) was
filed with and accepted by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Acadia is planning a potential Marketing Authorisation
Application filing in Q1 2025. For Japan, Acadia has had productive discussions with the regulatory agency (PMDA), including
potential clinical development plans.
NNZ-2591
Neuren is developing a second drug NNZ-2591 for multiple serious neurodevelopmental disorders with different genetic origins
that emerge in early childhood and have no or limited approved treatment options. Recognising the urgent unmet need, all
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 May 2024, Neuren announced positive top-line results from the Phase 2 clinical trial of NNZ-2591 in children with Pitt
Hopkins syndrome (PTHS). After treatment for 13 weeks, significant improvement was observed by both clinicians and
caregivers in clinically important aspects of PTHS, including communication, social interaction, cognition and motor
abilities. Clinician and caregiver global efficacy measures showed a level of improvement considered clinically
meaningful. The PTHS Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) mean score was 2.6, with 9 out of 11 children
showing improvement assessed by clinicians. The PTHS Caregiver Overall Impression of Change (CIC) mean score was 3.0,
with 8 out of 11 children showing improvement assessed by caregivers. NNZ-2591 was well tolerated and demonstrated a
good safety profile.
In August 2024, Neuren announced positive top-line results from the Phase 2 clinical trial of NNZ-2591 in children with
Angelman syndrome (AS). NNZ-2591 was safe and well tolerated as an oral liquid dose and improvements were seen in
clinically important aspects of AS. Clinician and caregiver global efficacy measures showed a level of improvement from
baseline that was statistically significant and considered clinically meaningful. The AS Clinical Global Impression of
Improvement (CGI-I) mean score was 3.0, with 11 out of 13 children showing improvement assessed by clinicians. The AS
Caregiver Overall Impression of Change (CIC) mean score was 3.2, with 8 out of 12 children showing improvement assessed
by caregivers. In the 3-12 years age group all 8 children showed improvement on both measures, with a mean CGI-I score of
2.8 and a mean CIC score of 2.6.
The positive results of NNZ-2591 in PTHS and AS followed the announcement of positive top-line results from the Phase 2
clinical trial of NNZ-2591 in children with Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS) in December 2023.
An End of Phase 2 Meeting with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NNZ-2591 in PMS is scheduled for
September 2024, at which Neuren will seek guidance on the remaining clinical development program. In parallel, manufacture
of supplies for Phase 3 clinical trials is progressing as planned. Neuren has an open IND with the FDA for NNZ-2591 in PraderWilli syndrome and is also conducting pre-clinical studies for NNZ-2591 in other undisclosed indications.

Directors' report
30 June 2024
Financial commentary
The consolidated interim financial statements for the half-year are presented on pages 7 to 17. All amounts in the Financial
Statements are shown in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.
The Group’s net profit after income tax for the half-year ended 30 June 2024 was A$8.0 million, compared with a net profit
after tax of A$47.8 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2023. Revenue of A$24.3 million was earned under the licence
agreement with Acadia (30 June 2023: A$62.9 million). Royalty income increased to A$24.3 million from A$3.5 million in the
half-year ended 30 June 2023. This increase was offset by milestone revenue in the half-year to 30 June 2023 of A$59.4
million, which was earned on the first commercial sale of DAYBUE. Other income includes interest income of A$5.8 million
(30 June 2023: A$0.7 million). In addition, a gain of A$1.9 million on the fair value of outstanding forward contracts to sell
Australian dollars and buy US dollars was recognised at 30 June 2024 (2023: A$0.1 million).
Research and development costs increased by A$6.1 million, due to higher expenditure for the half- year ended 30 June 2024
for the NNZ-2591 Phase 2 clinical trials and the foundational work to prepare for Phase 3 development of NNZ-2591 across
multiple indications. Corporate and administrative costs decreased by A$0.7 million. Income tax expense recognised for the
half-year ended 30 June 2024 was A$3.8 million (30 June 2023: A$1.8 million).
The basic earnings per share for the half-year to 30 June 2024 was A$0.0628 (half-year to 30 June 2023: earnings per share
A$0.378) based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of approximately 127.7 million (half-year to 30 June
2023: 126.3 million).
Total cash and short-term investments at 30 June 2024 were A$213.2 million (31 December 2023: A$228.5 million). Net cash
used in operating activities was A$20.5 million compared with net cash generated of A$44.9 million for half-year to 30 June
2023. This is mainly due to lower receipts from licence agreements and a tax payment of A$34 million made in the half-year
ended 30 June 2024 for the 2023 year, compared with nil in the half-year to 30 June 2023. Receipts from licence agreements
for the half-year 30 June 2024 included A$24.4 million in quarterly royalties, while the half-year to 30 June 2023 included the
receipt of A$59.8 million from Acadia for the first commercial sale milestone.

Neuren Pharmaceuticals Ltd
Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
30 June 2024
Note 1. Nature of the business
Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Neuren” or the “Company”), and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) is a publicly listed
biopharmaceutical company developing drugs for neurological disorders.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in New Zealand. The address of its registered office in New Zealand
is at the offices of Lowndes Jordan, Level 15 HSBC Tower, 188 Quay Street, Auckland 1141. Neuren operates in Australia
and its ordinary shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX code: NEU).
These consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 August 2024.
Note 2. Material accounting policy information
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for the half-year ended 30 June 2024 and have been prepared
in accordance with, and comply with International Accounting Standard 34 and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Group is a Tier 1 for-profit entity under the External Reporting Board Accounting Standards Framework in New Zealand.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
There have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the current period. The accounting policies that
materially affect the measurement of the Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income,
Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity and the
Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flows have been applied on a basis consistent with those used in the audited financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 and the unaudited interim financial statements for the half-year ended 30
June 2023.
There is no cyclical seasonality of interim operations.
On 1 January 2024, the Group changed its' functional currency from Australian dollars to US dollars. At 30 June 2024, the
presentation currency of the Group is Australian dollars and the functional currency is US dollars.
These interim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.
Accordingly, this interim report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Going concern assumption
The Directors monitor the Group’s cash position and initiatives to ensure that adequate funding continues to be available for
the Group to meet its business objectives. The Group recorded a profit after tax of $8.0 million for the period ended 30 June
2024 and had negative operating cash flows for the period of $20.5 million. The Group had cash of $2.6 million and short-term
investments (term deposits) of $210.6 million at 30 June 2024.
It is the considered view of the Directors that the group will have access to adequate resources to meet its ongoing obligations
for at least a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. On this basis, the Directors have
assessed it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern.
Comparatives
Where deemed necessary, the comparatives have been reclassified to achieve consistency with the current financial halfyear.
Note 3. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to the equity holders of the company by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the period excluding shares held as treasury stock.
