CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 15, 2026 – Enveric Biosciences (NASDAQ: ENVB) ("Enveric" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company advancing next-generation neuroplastogenic small molecules to address psychiatric and neurological disorders, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a comprehensive business update.

**CEO Commentary:**

"Our progress in the first quarter of 2026 reflects continued execution against our core mission of developing therapeutics capable of addressing the significant unmet need in mental health," said Joseph Tucker, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Enveric Biosciences. "We remain laser focused on advancing EB-003, Enveric's lead drug candidate in developlment, toward an IND submission and first-in-human clinical trials."

Dr. Tucker continued: "What differentiates Enveric is our commitment to harnessing the therapeutic potential of psychedelic-inspired mechanisms while designing our candidates to eliminate the hallucinogenic effects that limit scalability, safety, and broad patient access. Our growing body of preclinical data continue to support EB-003's ability to promote neuroplasticity through selective receptor engagement, reinforcing our confidence in its potential to deliver rapid and durable antidepressant and anxiolytic effects."

"Since the end of the first quarter, the broader policy environment appears to be increasingly supportive of innovation in mental health. Recent actions, including an Executive Order issued under President Donald Trump emphasizing the importance of advancing novel treatments for mental health conditions, underscore growing recognition of the therapeutic promise of psychedelic-inspired compounds. We believe the future of this field will be defined by non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogens like EB-003, which is designed to deliver the benefits of these pathways while avoiding the limitations associated with traditional psychedelic therapies."

Dr. Tucker continued: "In parallel, we continue to view our intellectual property estate as a foundational driver of long-term value creation. The recent withdrawal of the Post-Grant Review petition by AbbVie further underscores the strength, breadth and strategic relevance of our patent portfolio. We believe our expanding IP position not only protects our innovations but also enhances our ability to create future partnering and monetization opportunities."

Dr. Tucker concluded: "With IND-enabling activities underway and a strong intellectual property position, we believe Enveric is well positioned to generate meaningful value for stockholders as we transition toward the clinical phase of drug development."
