**CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.,** Aug. 5, 2025 – Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDGL), a biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering novel therapeutics for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), today reports second-quarter 2025 financial results and provides corporate updates.

Bill Sibold, Chief Executive Officer of Madrigal, stated**:** "We've delivered another exceptional quarter driven by continued strong Rezdiffra demand. Additionally, we continued to execute on our strategy by securing a new U.S. patent extending Rezdiffra's patent protection to 2045; advancing our pipeline with an oral GLP-1 development candidate; preparing to enter Europe following a positive CHMP opinion; presenting compelling new two-year data in F4c; and strengthening our balance sheet with access to up to $500 million in non-dilutive capital. I'm incredibly proud of the team's execution and the progress we've made."

Sibold continued, "These milestones reflect a clear and deliberate strategy: to secure Madrigal's long-term leadership in MASH. We're building a company with the potential to lead in this space for decades – and we plan to do so by scaling Rezdiffra across fibrosis stages and geographies, advancing a pipeline of complementary therapies, and delivering sustained value for patients, providers, and shareholders."

**Second-Quarter 2025 and Recent Corporate Updates** 

• **New U.S. Rezdiffra patent extends patent protection to 2045**

oThe U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is expected to issue today a new patent entitled, "Methods for treating a fatty liver disease" (U.S. Patent No. 12,377,104) that covers the FDA-approved use of Rezdiffra with claims directed to Rezdiffra's commercial weight-threshold dosing regimen as prescribed in the FDA-approved label. This patent provides protection to Feb. 4, 2045, and will be listed in the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the Orange

------

![mdgllogo.jpg](mdgllogo.jpg)

Book. The patent is expected to issue today, and will reflect an updated date extending the expiration to Feb. 4, 2045. Previously it was noted this patent had protection through Sept. 30, 2044.

• **Expanded pipeline with global rights to oral GLP-1 to combine with Rezdiffra**

oIn July, Madrigal announced a licensing agreement with CSPC Pharma for global rights to SYH2086, an oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and orforglipron derivative. The license agreement supports Madrigal's strategy to develop innovative combination treatments for MASH, anchored by its foundational therapy, Rezdiffra. SYH2086 is expected to enter the clinic in the first half of 2026.

• **Secured up to $500 million in senior secured credit to advance MASH pipeline** 

oIn July, Madrigal entered into a senior secured credit facility with funds managed by Blue Owl Capital that provides up to $500 million to advance Madrigal's pipeline to further extend its leadership position in MASH.

oThis non-dilutive financing consists of a $350 million initial term loan funded at closing, a portion of which was used to repay all outstanding obligations under the Hercules loan facility, and a $150 million delayed draw term loan facility available in multiple draws through 2027. The credit facility also provides for the possibility of incremental loans of up to $250 million to support potential additional strategic business development activity.

• **Presented compensated MASH cirrhosis (F4c) data demonstrating broad, sustained efficacy at two years; and provides estimates for market expansion opportunity in the U.S. F4c MASH population**

oIn May, Madrigal presented new Rezdiffra two-year open-label data at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress demonstrating broad and sustained efficacy, with improvements in liver stiffness, clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) risk, liver fat, liver enzymes, liver injury biomarkers and lipids with statistical significance as compared to baseline.

oResults further support the potential success of the ongoing MAESTRO-NASH OUTCOMES trial, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven trial in F4c, for which data are anticipated in 2027. If approved, Rezdiffra is expected to be the first therapy available for F4c MASH patients in the U.S.

oThe estimated market opportunity in the U.S. for F4c consists of approximately 245,000 patients who are currently diagnosed and under the care of a liver specialist.

• **In June, received positive CHMP opinion for Rezdiffra, which, if approved, is expected to be the first medicine available in Europe for MASH**

oMadrigal received a positive recommendation from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) based on Rezdiffra's favorable profile including positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 MAESTRO-NASH trial. The European Commission (EC) decision is expected in August 2025, and if approved, Rezdiffra is expected to be the first medication for people living with MASH in the EU.

oRezdiffra is already included in European clinical practice guidelines, which provide a framework for identifying and monitoring patients with noninvasive tests.

• **Appointed Dan Brennan to Board of Directors** 

oIn August, Dan Brennan was appointed to Madrigal's Board of Directors. Most recently Mr. Brennan served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of

Boston Scientific where he had responsibility for all global finance functions and corporate business development.

**Second-Quarter 2025 Financial Results**

**• Total revenues:** Second-quarter 2025 net revenues were $212.8 million, compared to $14.6 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is due to increased demand for Rezdiffra.

**• Operating Expenses:** Second-quarter 2025 operating expenses were $260.0 million, compared to $177.2 million in the comparable prior year period.

o**Cost of sales:** Second-quarter 2025 cost of sales was $9.1 million, compared to $0.6 million in the comparable prior year period.

o**R&D Expense:** Second-quarter 2025 R&D expense was $54.1 million, compared to $71.1 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in clinical trial expenses.

o**SG&A Expense:** Second-quarter 2025 SG&A expense was $196.9 million compared to $105.4 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increases in commercial activities for Rezdiffra including corresponding increases in headcount to support commercialization efforts.

**• Interest Income:** Second-quarter 2025 interest income was $8.2 million compared to $14.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash balances.

**• Interest Expense:** Second-quarter 2025 interest expense was $3.3 million compared to $3.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2025.

**• Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities:** As of June 30, 2025, Madrigal had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $802.0 million, compared to $931.3 million as of Dec. 31, 2024. The decrease was due to funding of operations.

**Conference Call and Webcast**

At 8 a.m. EDT today, Aug. 5, Madrigal will host a webcast to review its financial and operating results and provide a general business update.

**About MASH**

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a serious liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, need for liver transplantation, and premature mortality. MASH is the leading cause of liver transplantation in women and the second leading cause of all liver transplantation in the U.S. It is the fastest-growing indication for liver transplantation in Europe.

Once patients progress to MASH with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (consistent with stages F2 to F3 fibrosis), the risk of adverse liver outcomes increases dramatically: these patients have a 10 to 17 times higher risk of liver-related mortality as compared to patients

------

![mdgllogo.jpg](mdgllogo.jpg)

without fibrosis. Madrigal is focused on reaching approximately 315,000 patients with moderate to advanced fibrosis who are under the care of liver specialists in the U.S.

Patients with MASH who progress to cirrhosis face a 42 times higher risk of liver-related mortality, underscoring the need to treat MASH before complications of cirrhosis develop. An estimated 245,000 patients with compensated MASH cirrhosis (consistent with F4c fibrosis) are currently under the care of liver specialists in the U.S.

As disease awareness improves and disease prevalence increases, the number of diagnosed patients with F2 to F4c MASH is expected to grow.

**About Rezdiffra**

*What is Rezdiffra?*

Rezdiffra is a prescribed medicine used along with diet and exercise to treat adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with moderate to advanced liver scarring (fibrosis), but not with cirrhosis of the liver.

It is not known if Rezdiffra is safe and effective in children (under 18 years old).

This indication is approved based on improvement of NASH and liver scarring (fibrosis). There are ongoing studies to confirm the clinical benefit of Rezdiffra.

*Before you take Rezdiffra, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have any liver problems other than NASH.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• have gallbladder problems or have been told you have gallbladder problems, including gallstones.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Rezdiffra will harm your unborn baby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if Rezdiffra passes into your breast milk. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way to feed your baby if you take Rezdiffra.

*Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take,* including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rezdiffra and other medicines may affect each other, causing side effects. Rezdiffra may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how Rezdiffra works.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take medicines that contain gemfibrozil to help lower your triglycerides, or cyclosporine to suppress your immune system, because Rezdiffra is not recommended in patients taking these medicines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tell your healthcare provider if you are taking medicines such as clopidogrel to thin your blood or statin medicines to help lower your cholesterol.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

*What are the possible side effects of Rezdiffra?*

*Rezdiffra may cause serious side effects, including:*

------

![mdgllogo.jpg](mdgllogo.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liver injury (hepatotoxicity). Stop taking Rezdiffra and call your healthcare provider right away if you develop the following signs or symptoms of hepatotoxicity: tiredness, nausea, vomiting, fever, rash, your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice), pain or tenderness in the upper middle or upper right area of your stomach (abdomen).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• gallbladder problems. Gallbladder problems such as gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, or inflammation of the pancreas from gallstones can occur with NASH and may occur if you take Rezdiffra. Call your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of these conditions including nausea, vomiting, fever, or pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen to your back and the pain may happen with or without vomiting.

*The most common side effects of Rezdiffra include:* diarrhea, nausea, itching, stomach (abdominal) pain, vomiting, dizziness, constipation.

These are not all the possible side effects of Rezdiffra. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. You may also report side effects to Madrigal at 1-800-905-0324.

Please see the full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information, for Rezdiffra.
