**ORIC**<sup>®</sup> **Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Clinical and Operational Updates**

*Announced completion of dose exploration portion of ORIC-944 Phase 1b clinical trial and presented data that continues to demonstrate potential best-in-class efficacy and safety*

*Bolstered leadership team with the appointment of Kevin Brodbeck, PhD, as Chief Technical Officer to further support ORIC's transition to potential late-stage development*

*Cash and investments of approximately $413 million expected to provide runway into 2H 2028 and beyond anticipated primary endpoint readouts from first Phase 3 trials for ORIC-944 and enozertinib (ORIC-114)*

*Expects to report four clinical data readouts across ORIC-944 and enozertinib (ORIC-114) programs through mid-2026, ahead of potential initiation of registrational trials for both programs in 2026*

**SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO and SAN DIEGO, CA – November 13, 2025 –** ORIC Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ORIC), a clinical stage oncology company focused on developing treatments that address mechanisms of therapeutic resistance, today reported financial results and provided clinical and operational updates for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"In the first nine months of 2025, we continued to advance toward the potential initiation of Phase 3 trials for ORIC-944 in prostate cancer and enozertinib in lung cancer. The ORIC-944 Phase 1b data announced today further support its potential best-in-class efficacy and safety profile, and we look forward to sharing clinical data for enozertinib later this year that will highlight its best-in-class potential," said Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. "Backed by compelling clinical data and a strong cash position, we remain focused on rapidly advancing these programs to registrational studies and, ultimately, commercialization."

**Third Quarter 2025 and Other Recent Highlights** 

**<u>ORIC-944:</u> a potent and selective allosteric inhibitor of PRC2**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Announced the completion of the dose exploration portion of the Phase 1b trial and the selection of provisional recommended Phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of ORIC-944 to be tested in combination with the approved doses of darolutamide and apalutamide in the dose optimization portion of the Phase 1b trial: 400 mg and 600 mg once daily of ORIC-944 in combination with 600 mg twice daily of darolutamide; and 600 mg, 800 mg and 1,200 mg once daily of ORIC-944 in combination with 240 mg once daily of apalutamide.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Reported preliminary efficacy and safety data from the Phase 1b dose exploration trial of ORIC-944 in combination with androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors in 20 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which includes 17 patients previously reported in May 2025. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) was assessed for 17

------

patients with mCRPC who had available ctDNA samples and evidence of ctDNA at baseline prior to study entry. The data reported as of September 22, 2025 demonstrated:

oPSA responses and ctDNA reductions across all ORIC-944 dose levels and at comparable rates in combination with apalutamide or with darolutamide.

oBroad and deep PSA responses, with 55% of patients (11/20) achieving a PSA50 response (confirmed in 40%), and 20% of patients (4/20) achieving a PSA90 response (all confirmed).

oRapid and deep ctDNA responses across a breadth of AR mutations and other gene alterations, with 76% (13/17) achieving > 50% ctDNA reduction, and 59% (10/17) achieving ctDNA clearance, which is greater than clearance rates observed in precedent trials with standard of care agents in comparable mCRPC patient populations.

oBoth combination regimens demonstrated a safety profile compatible with long-term dosing, with the vast majority of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) Grade 1 or 2 in severity and consistent with PRC2 and AR inhibition. Only one patient experienced a Grade 3 TRAE, and there were no Grade 4 or Grade 5 AEs attributed to ORIC-944, apalutamide or darolutamide.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Presented two posters at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics. In castration-sensitive prostate cancer models, ORIC-944 combined with AR inhibition synergistically suppressed tumor growth, extended survival, and prolonged response duration by limiting cellular plasticity and delaying tumor adaptation. In KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC and colorectal cancer models, ORIC-944 plus KRAS inhibition improved efficacy and progression-free survival, suggesting PRC2 inhibition may deepen and extend responses by preventing or delaying resistance to KRAS inhibitors.

**<u>Enozertinib:</u> a brain-penetrant inhibitor that selectively targets EGFR exon 20, EGFR atypical, and HER2 exon 20 mutations**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The World Health Organization International Nonproprietary Names (INN) expert committee approved "enozertinib" as the nonproprietary (generic) name for ORIC-114.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Announced publication in *Cancer Research*, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, detailing preclinical data demonstrating enozertinib's exquisite selectivity, strong potency, brain-penetrance, and anti-tumor activity across a broad range of EGFR atypical mutant models, including intracranial lung cancer xenografts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib as a single-agent in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 20, EGFR atypical, and HER2 exon 20 mutations, including patients with CNS metastases that are either treated or untreated but asymptomatic, across our 1L expansion cohorts; 2L+ dose optimization cohorts now fully enrolled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Continue to enroll Phase 1b trial of enozertinib in combination with subcutaneous (SC) amivantamab in 1L NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 mutations.

**<u>Corporate Highlights:</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Announced the appointment of Kevin Brodbeck, PhD, to the newly established role of Chief Technical Officer (CTO).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•As previously disclosed, the company raised $108.7 million in net proceeds under the ATM (at-the-market) program in the third quarter, including participation from healthcare specialist funds.

**<u>Anticipated Program Milestones:</u>**

**ORIC anticipates the following upcoming data milestones:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•ORIC-944 (mCRPC):

-1Q 2026: Combination dose optimization data with AR inhibitor(s)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Enozertinib (NSCLC):

-December 2025: 1L EGFR exon 20, 2L EGFR exon 20, 2L+ EGFR atypical, and 2L+ HER2 exon 20 data to be presented at ESMO Asia 2025

-Mid-2026: 1L EGFR atypical data <u>and</u> 1L EGFR exon 20 combination with SC amivantamab data

**Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments:** Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $413.0 million as of September 30, 2025, which includes proceeds from the $125.0 million private placement financing in May 2025 and $117.6 million in net proceeds raised during the year under the ATM program. The company expects its cash and investments to fund the operating plan into 2H 2028.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**R&D Expenses:** Research and development (R&D) expenses were $28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.4 million. The decrease was due to lower ORIC-944 drug manufacturing costs and lower costs from discontinued programs, offset by higher personnel costs, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation, and costs related to the advancement of enozertinib. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, R&D expenses were $84.0 million, compared to $82.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million. The increase was due to higher personnel costs, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation, and costs related to the advancement of enozertinib, offset by lower ORIC-944 drug manufacturing costs and lower costs from discontinued programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**G&A Expenses:** General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $0.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, G&A expenses were $24.5 million, compared to $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $3.3 million. The increases were primarily due to higher personnel costs and professional services, including additional non-cash stock-based compensation.
