&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*On Track to Report Topline Data for RSVHR, a Phase 2 Study of Zelicapavir in High-Risk Adults Infected with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), in September* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*On Track to Select a STAT6 Development Candidate in 2H 2025*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•*Conducting IND Enabling Studies of EPS-1421, an Oral KIT Inhibitor Candidate, in Development for the Treatment of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and Other Mast Cell Driven Diseases*

WATERTOWN, Mass., August 11, 2025 – <u>Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Inc.</u> (NASDAQ:ENTA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to creating small molecule drugs for viral infections and immunological diseases, today reported financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"This past quarter we continued to make steady progress across our pipeline, marked by the completion of enrollment in the RSVHR trial, a proof-of-concept study of zelicapavir in high-risk adults infected with RSV. These patients face a heightened risk of serious illness from RSV, but currently there are no approved antiviral treatments available. We look forward to reporting topline data for the RSVHR trial in September," said Jay. R. Luly, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Enanta Pharmaceuticals. "We have continued to execute on advancing multiple immunology programs including high-impact targets, KIT and STAT6. We are progressing IND-enabling studies for our oral KIT inhibitor, EPS-1421, and expect to select a lead development candidate for our oral STAT6 inhibitor program in the second half of this year. We plan to build on our emerging pipeline of highly selective and potent oral inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases with the announcement of a third program later this year."

**Fiscal Third Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 Financial Results**

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $18.3 million and consisted of royalty revenue from worldwide net sales of AbbVie's hepatitis C virus (HCV) regimen MAVYRET®/MAVIRET® (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir), compared to $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

A portion (54.5%) of Enanta's ongoing royalty revenue from AbbVie's net sales of MAVYRET®/MAVIRET® is paid to OMERS, one of Canada's largest defined benefit pension plans, pursuant to a royalty sale transaction affecting royalties earned after June 2023. For financial reporting purposes, the transaction was treated as debt, with the upfront purchase payment of $200.0 million recorded as a liability. Each quarter, Enanta records 100% of the royalty earned as revenue and then amortizes the debt liability proportionally as 54.5% of the cash royalty payments are paid to OMERS through June 30, 2032 subject to a cap of 1.42 times the purchase payment, after which point 100% of the cash royalty payments will

------

be retained by Enanta. Interest expense from the royalty sale for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Research and development expenses totaled $27.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in expenses as a result of the timing of clinical trials in the Company's RSV programs.

General and administrative expenses totaled $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses related to the Company's patent infringement lawsuit against Pfizer.

Interest and investment income, net, totaled $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to lower cash and investment balances year-over-year.

Enanta recorded income tax expense of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company received its federal income tax refund of $33.8 million in April 2025.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $18.3 million, or a loss of $0.85 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $22.7 million, or a loss of $1.07 per diluted common share, for the corresponding period in 2024.

Enanta's cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities totaled $204.1 million at June 30, 2025. Enanta expects that its current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and its continuing portion of cash from future royalty revenue, should be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash requirements of its existing business and development programs into fiscal year 2028.

**Virology** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Enanta's virology pipeline is focused on developing oral antiviral treatments for serious infections, including the leading RSV therapeutic portfolio, consisting of zelicapavir and EDP-323, both of which received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company will evaluate potential partnership opportunities to further develop these RSV assets.

oZelicapavir, a potent, oral N-protein inhibitor, is currently being evaluated in RSVHR, a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adults with RSV infection who are at high risk of complications. This includes patients over age 65 years and/or those with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. Enrollment in RSVHR is complete with 186 patients and the Company is on track to report topline data in September.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪In May, the Company presented data at the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID) 2025 Conference highlighting its previously reported

------

positive results from the Phase 2 study of zelicapavir in pediatric patients, including new data on population PK/PD and shortened time to viral load negativity. The presentation can be found on the Company's website.

oEDP-323 is a potent, oral RSV L-protein inhibitor, which can be used alone or in combination with other agents, such as zelicapavir, to potentially broaden the treatment window or addressable patient populations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪In April, in an oral presentation at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases Global 2025 Conference (ESCMID), Enanta presented results from its previously disclosed Phase 2a human challenge study of EDP-323 and highlighted new data on reduced respiratory mucus production. The presentation can be found on the Company's website.

**Immunology** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Enanta's immunology pipeline is focused on designing and developing highly potent and selective oral inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, by targeting key drivers of the type 2 immune response.

oIND enabling studies and scale-up activities are ongoing for EPS-1421, a novel, potent, and selective oral inhibitor of KIT. EPS-1421 is being developed to treat chronic spontaneous urticaria and other mast cell driven indications by depleting mast cells through KIT inhibition, thereby addressing a primary driver of these diseases. EPS-1421 inhibits KIT with nanomolar potency in both binding and cellular assays, has sub-nanomolar activity *in vivo*, is highly selective for KIT versus other kinases, and has demonstrated good *in vitro* and *in vivo* ADME properties preclinically.

oEnanta remains on track to select a STAT6 inhibitor development candidate in the second half of 2025. Preclinical data show Enanta's prototype oral STAT6 inhibitors exhibit potent nanomolar activity and are highly selective for STAT6. Importantly, the prototype oral inhibitors resulted in rapid and complete inhibition of IL-4 induced phosphorylated STAT6 after a single oral dose in a mouse, demonstrating *in vivo* target engagement. Further, the prototypes reduced STAT6 activation and suppressed a type 2 inflammatory profile in an acute OVA asthma model. Finally, the prototypes display favorable *in vitro* and *in vivo* ADME properties with once-daily dosing potential.

oEnanta plans to expand its immunology pipeline with the introduction of a third program in 2025.

**Corporate**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Enanta's Partner AbbVie received FDA approval of an expanded indication for MAVYRET® (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) as the first and only treatment for people with acute HCV.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Enanta plans to issue its fiscal fourth quarter and year-end financial results press release on November 17, 2025.
