**Soleno Therapeutics Announces Select Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results** 

**REDWOOD CITY, Calif**., January 12, 2026 – Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (Soleno) (NASDAQ: SLNO), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases, today announced select preliminary financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preliminary unaudited full-year 2025 net revenue related to U.S. sales of VYKAT<sup>TM</sup> XR<sup></sup>since second quarter launch expected to be in a range of $189 million to $191 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preliminary unaudited fourth quarter 2025 net revenue expected to be in a range of $90 million to
$92 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1,250 total new patient start forms (207 in the fourth quarter) from launch through December 31, 2025, or
approximately 12.5% of the total U.S. VYKAT XR addressable market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Discontinuation rate of VYKAT XR related to adverse events was approximately 12% as of the end of the fourth
quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 630 unique prescribers, including 136 new prescribers in the fourth quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Over 185 million lives covered, or approximately 60% of total lives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Company has responded to Day 120 questions received from the European Medicines Agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Company has achieved profitability and positive cash flow.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Year-end 2025 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
approximately $500 million, after the $100 million accelerated share repurchase program that the Company announced on November 11, 2025.

"Our strong fourth quarter results cap a truly transformational year for Soleno Therapeutics, driven by the approval and successful launch of VYKAT XR in the U.S.," said Dr. Anish Bhatnagar, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Soleno Therapeutics. "In less than nine months since launch, we have received patient start forms representing well over 10% of our addressable U.S. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patient population. This reflects the significant unmet medical need that VYKAT XR can address as well as our success in communicating VYKAT XR's value proposition to payers, providers and caregivers."

"Looking ahead, as we continue to raise awareness of this first-to-market hyperphagia treatment, we have the opportunity to significantly impact the lives of many more patients and families living with PWS while simultaneously creating sustained value for our company. We are well-funded, our leading indicators are strong, and I am excited for what the future holds in 2026 and beyond," Dr. Bhatnagar concluded.

The estimates of Soleno's net revenue, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, patient start forms and other metrics above as of December 31, 2025 are preliminary, have not been audited, and do not present all information necessary for an understanding of Soleno's financial condition as of December 31, 2025. The preliminary select financial information presented in this press release is provided as an approximation in advance of Soleno's announcement of full fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results, which is anticipated to occur in late February 2026.

**About PWS** 

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in the gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food seeking behavior) and longer term, co-morbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

**About VYKAT XR** 

VYKAT XR was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 26, 2025, and is commercially available to U.S. patients.

VYKAT XR is indicated for the treatment of hyperphagia in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).

**IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION** 

**Contraindications** 

Use of VYKAT XR is contraindicated in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to diazoxide, other components of VYKAT XR, or to thiazides.

**Warnings and Precautions** 

**Hyperglycemia** 

Hyperglycemia, including diabetic ketoacidosis, has been reported. Before initiating VYKAT XR, test fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c; optimize blood glucose in patients who have hyperglycemia. During treatment, regularly monitor fasting glucose (FPG or fasting blood glucose) and HbA1c. Monitor fasting glucose more frequently during the first few weeks of treatment in patients with risk factors for hyperglycemia.

**Risk of Fluid Overload** 

Edema, including severe reactions associated with fluid overload, has been reported. Monitor for signs or symptoms of edema or fluid overload. VYKAT XR has not been studied in patients with compromised cardiac reserve and should be used with caution in these patients.
