**Verrica Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results** 

*– Company reports $12.7 million in revenue in Q2'25, consisting primarily of $4.5 million in YCANTH<sup>®</sup> revenue, net, reflecting sequential growth of 32.5% over Q1'25 and $8.0 million in milestone revenue from Torii Pharmaceutical –* 

*– Completed Successful End of Phase 2 Meeting for VP-315 for Basal Cell Carcinoma; Company is preparing for the Phase 3 program and exploring non-dilutive opportunities for financing further development –* 

– *Conference call scheduled for today at 4:30 pm ET* –

WEST CHESTER, PA – August 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Verrica") (Nasdaq: VRCA), a dermatology therapeutics company developing and selling medications for skin diseases requiring medical interventions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"I am pleased to report that the business momentum we experienced in the first quarter has continued into the second quarter of 2025, as demonstrated by YCANTH's strong sequential quarterly growth in dispensed applicator units of 32.8%. As we previously reported, during the second quarter we dispensed 13,434 applicator units, and we are encouraged by this increased adoption for what we believe is the best option for healthcare providers to treat molluscum contagiosum. We are proud of achieving these results with our streamlined expense structure as we have substantially increased our productivity following our restructuring last Fall," said Jayson Rieger, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verrica. "As our commercial team continues to execute, we also made significant progress in advancing our global Phase 3 program in common warts with our Japanese development partner, Torii Pharmaceutical. The commercial adoption of YCANTH by healthcare providers for patients with molluscum contagiosum is the foundation for Verrica's potential growth into new products and markets, including the development of YCANTH for the treatment of common warts and VP-315 for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma."

"Looking ahead, we believe our positive momentum is likely to continue. We have the opportunity to receive an additional $10 million in non-dilutive funding from Torii upon Japanese regulatory approval of YCANTH (TO-208 in Japan) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum, and we expect a regulatory decision by the end of the year. Furthermore, we have made great strides in advancing our other key, late-stage pipeline asset, VP-315, which has demonstrated positive proof-of-concept efficacy data in a Phase 2 trial for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma. Following our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, we now have additional clarity and broad agreement on advancing this unique and promising therapy into a

------

pivotal Phase 3 program and preparation activities are underway. We plan to explore opportunities to fund the basal cell program, which may include strategic, non-dilutive partnerships for financing both the development of this program as well as post-approval commercialization for this potential multiple billion-dollar opportunity in the most common form of skin cancer. We plan to provide a comprehensive overview of the basal cell program, including an announcement of additional genomic and immune response data, later this year at a scientific conference. With these pipeline catalysts for our product candidates and continued momentum in our existing commercial business in molluscum, we believe Verrica is poised to generate strong and sustainable growth."

**Business Highlights and Recent Developments** 

**CORPORATE** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On July 1, 2025, the Company announced a second amendment to its Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with
Torii Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. ("Torii") to initiate the global Phase 3 program of VP-102/TO-208 (YCANTH), for the treatment of common warts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Torii agreed to accelerate an $8 million milestone payment to Verrica for initiating the global Phase 3
program, which the Company received in July 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Torii agreed to pay Verrica a $10 million milestone payment for the Japanese approval of YCANTH (TO-208 in Japan) for molluscum in cash, rather than as an offset to trial costs. The regulatory decision is expected to occur by the end of 2025.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Verrica expects to dose the first patient in the global Phase 3 program in the United States in the fourth
quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Torii will continue to split the costs of the global Phase 3 program with Verrica on a 50/50 basis and will pay
the first $40 million of the trial costs, representing approximately 90% of the current trial budget. To repay its half of the trial costs, Verrica will offset amounts otherwise owed by Torii for future royalties, certain transfer
price payments and remaining development milestones (not including the $8 million and $10 million milestone payments noted above).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Verrica will initiate a manufacturing transfer to Torii for YCANTH (TO-208) applicators to be sold in Japan, which is expected to take place in stages over the next several years. In the interim, Verrica will continue to receive from Torii a transfer price for
applicators manufactured by Verrica's manufacturing partners. After the transfer of at least one component of the manufacturing process, Verrica will begin receiving royalties related to net sales in Japan of applicators manufactured by
Torii and/or its manufacturing partners in lieu of the transfer price for completed applicators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At the close of trading on July 24, 2025, the Company effected a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10 shares of its common stock. As a result, every ten shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one share. The
reverse stock split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company. This split reduced the number of issued shares of common stock from 92,650,404 shares
to 9,265,034 shares of common stock. The number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding was reduced from 92,545,260 to 9,254,520.

**YCANTH<sup>®</sup> (VP-102)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On July 9, 2025, the Company reported a record 13,434 YCANTH dispensed applicator units in the second
quarter of 2025. This second quarter growth in dispensed applicator units represents a sequential increase of 32.8% over the first quarter of 2025.

**VP-315** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company is encouraged by its recent end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, and plans on providing a comprehensive overview of this program, including additional genomic and immune response data for VP-315, later this year at a scientific conference.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Verrica's management considers non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense and non-cash interest expense that are required by GAAP. Verrica excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense from these non-GAAP measures to facilitate comparison to peer companies who also provide similar non-GAAP disclosures and because it reflects how management internally manages the business. In addition, Verrica excludes non-cash interest expense from these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an understanding of the effects of the debt service obligations on the Company's liquidity and comparisons to peer group companies who also provide similar non-GAAP disclosures and because it is reflective of how management internally manages the business. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables following the financial statements in this press release.

**About YCANTH<sup>®</sup> (VP-102)** 

YCANTH<sup>®</sup> is a proprietary drug-device combination product that contains a GMP-controlled formulation of cantharidin delivered via a single-use applicator that allows for precise topical dosing and targeted administration for the treatment of molluscum.

Approval of YCANTH<sup>®</sup> was based upon the positive results from two Phase 3 clinical trials in approximately 500 patients which demonstrated that YCANTH<sup>®</sup> was a safe and effective therapeutic for the treatment of molluscum. Approximately 225 million lives are eligible to receive YCANTH<sup>®</sup> covered by insurance. Commercially insured patients pay just $25 per YCANTH treatment visit, for up to two applicators. Other uninsured patients may be eligible to receive YCANTH at a reduced cost if certain eligibility requirements are met for patient assistance. Please visit YCANTHPro.com for additional information.

(a) The effects of non-cash stock-based compensation are excluded because
of varying available valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions. Verrica believes this is a useful measure for investors because such exclusion facilitates comparison to peer companies who also provide similar non-GAAP disclosures and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.

(b) The effects of non-cash interest charges are excluded because Verrica
believes such exclusion facilitates an understanding of the effects of the debt service obligations on the Company's liquidity and comparisons to peer group companies and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.
