**Theravance Biopharma** 

**Reports Phase 3 CYPRESS Study Did Not Meet Primary Endpoint;**

**Board Accelerates Strategic Review and Announces Cost Reduction Actions** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Phase 3 CYPRESS study did not meet the primary endpoint, the OHSA Composite Score, a patient reported outcome (PRO)* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Cash of $326.5 million at Q4 2025 (no debt); approximately $400 million expected at end of Q1 2026 including receipt of 2025 milestones; Theravance highly confident in achieving $100 million 2026 TRELEGY milestone **<sup>1</sup>*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Strategic Review Committee accelerating ongoing efforts to evaluate alternatives to maximize shareholder value* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Organizational restructuring to reduce cost base by approximately 60% (or approximately $70 million); expected to result in the Company generating approximately $60 - $70 million of annualized cash flow* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Streamlined portfolio focused on YUPELRI<sup>®</sup>, a growing product to treat COPD with durable cash-flow generation and long-dated intellectual property protection in the U.S. into 2039; FY 2025 net sales $266.6 million recognized by Viatris (+12% YoY) **<sup>2</sup>*** 

**DUBLIN, IRELAND –** **March 3, 2026** – Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TBPH) today announced topline results from the Phase 3 CYPRESS study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ampreloxetine in patients with symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) due to multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare disease. The study did not meet its primary endpoint in the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) composite score. As a result of this outcome, the Company has decided to wind down the ampreloxetine program.

In connection with this announcement, the Strategic Review Committee of the Theravance Biopharma Board of Directors (the "Committee") is accelerating its ongoing review of alternatives to maximize value for shareholders. Since its formation in 2024, the Committee has been working on an ongoing basis with Lazard, its independent financial advisor, to evaluate opportunities available to the Company, including under multiple potential outcomes for the CYPRESS study. Building upon this work, the Committee will act with urgency to evaluate a broad range of value maximizing and tax efficient alternatives, including but not limited to a sale of the company. There can be no assurance that the Committee's strategic review process will result in any transaction. Theravance Biopharma does not intend to disclose further developments on this review process unless and until it determines that such disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

<sup>1</sup> Payments from Royalty Pharma (RP) will be triggered if RP receives certain minimum royalty payments from GSK based on TRELEGY global net sales.

<sup>2</sup> In the U.S., Viatris is leading the commercialization of YUPELRI, and the Company co-promotes the product under a profit and loss sharing arrangement (65% to Viatris; 35% to the Company).

![](tm267846d1_ex99-1img001.jpg)

While the Committee accelerates its review, Theravance Biopharma is implementing an organizational restructuring to streamline costs and align its resources with its commercial focus on YUPELRI*<sup>®</sup>*. The restructuring will involve winding down the R&D function and significantly reducing the G&A function. The restructuring is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately 60%, relative to 2025 preliminary actuals of approximately $110 million. The full run-rate cost savings of approximately $70 million are expected to fully materialize in the third quarter of 2026.

Together, the cost savings from the restructuring and continued sales from YUPELRI*<sup>®</sup>* are expected to result in the Company generating approximately $60 to $70 million of annualized cash flow, starting in Q3 2026. This cash flow projection is comprised of an estimated $45 to $55 million of Income from Operations (excluding non-cash share-based compensation) and projected Interest and Other Income, and does not include potential income from the $100 million TRELEGY milestone.

Following the decision to wind down the ampreloxetine program, the Company's sources of value include approximately $400 million of expected cash at the end of Q1 2026, a 35% interest in YUPELRI*<sup>®</sup>* that generates durable cash flow, and the potential TRELEGY milestone payment, as well as Irish tax attributes.

"We are disappointed that ampreloxetine did not meet the primary endpoint in the CYPRESS study. These results are particularly disheartening for the patients who are suffering from this rare disease and were hoping for a new treatment option and for the employees who dedicated years of work to this program. I want to sincerely thank the patients, caregivers, investigators, and our team for their commitment and contributions to this effort," said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer of Theravance Biopharma. "Given these results, we are taking decisive steps to restructure the organization and significantly reduce our cost base, which we expect will allow YUPELRI<sup>®</sup> to drive meaningful and sustainable cash flow for the company. With a profitable commercial product, an expected cash balance of approximately $400 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026, and the anticipated $100 million TRELEGY milestone in 2026, we continue to have a strong set of assets."

"Consistent with our commitment to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and alongside the organizational restructuring actions we announced today, the Strategic Review Committee is accelerating its ongoing evaluation of value maximizing strategic alternatives," said Susannah Gray, independent Chair of the Board and Chair of the Strategic Review Committee. "The Committee was established with a clear mandate to deliver maximum value to Theravance Biopharma shareholders, and over the last year and a half, has been actively engaged in overseeing that the Company's strategy delivers on this objective, including with the $225 million sale of our remaining royalty interest in TRELEGY in 2025. Today, Theravance Biopharma has a cash-generative commercial asset, strong balance sheet and sizable near-term milestone payout opportunity, and the Committee is squarely focused on acting with urgency and discipline to ensure that we achieve the best outcome for shareholders."

**Phase 3 CYPRESS Topline Data Study Results**

In the Phase 3 CYPRESS study, the primary endpoint, the change in OHSA composite score at Week 8 during the double-blind randomized withdrawal period, was not statistically significant. Similar trends were observed in the secondary endpoints at week 8. Changes in blood pressure, heart rate and norepinephrine levels confirmed a consistent pressor effect and reaffirmed ampreloxetine's biological activity. Ampreloxetine was generally well tolerated, with safety findings consistent with prior studies, including no signal of worsening of supine hypertension.

As the Company proceeds with the orderly wind down of the ampreloxetine program, it will complete additional analyses of the CYPRESS dataset and Phase 3 program, in consultation with external experts, to assess whether the data merits further regulatory discussion. This assessment is intended to provide the Committee with additional clarity regarding any remaining value in ampreloxetine for Theravance shareholders. There can be no assurance that any additional regulatory engagement will occur.

**Organizational Restructuring**

The restructuring is expected to impact approximately 50% of the overall workforce. This reduction includes the complete wind-down of the R&D organization and a decrease of approximately 50% in G&A employees. These actions will be implemented over the next two quarters, and the Company expects to incur approximately $5 to $7 million in one-time cash severance costs related to these actions.
