Outlook and guidance

• Study 306 enrollment is complete, with topline data in female pattern hair loss expected in H1 2027.

• Existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to fund operations into 2030, including multiple Phase 3 readouts and potential launch preparations; estimates depend on assumptions and capital may be exhausted sooner.

• Significant operating losses and rising expenses are expected as VDPHL01 advances through Phase 3, regulatory review and potential commercialization; timing and costs remain difficult to predict.

• A potential application could initially target males with a later female supplement, or seek approval in both populations together.
