**BioCardia Reports First Quarter 2026 Business Highlights and Financial Results**

**Sunnyvale, Calif.** – **May 15, 2026 -** <u>BioCardia, Inc.</u> [Nasdaq: BCDA], a global leader in cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, today reported financial results for the first quarter 2026 and filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will also hold a conference call at 4:30 PM ET today in which it will discuss business highlights. Following management's formal remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.

**Recent Business Highlights**

CardiAMP® autologous cell therapy in ischemic heart failure of reduced ejection fraction (BCDA-01)

● In February, PMDA provided additional questions for BioCardia, in line with those addressed and discussed in three preliminary clinical consultations, on the evidence supporting safety and efficacy of CardiAMP Cell Therapy System and scheduled our Formal Clinical Consultation. We addressed these questions in advance of the Formal Clinical Consultation with PMDA.

● In March, our CardiAMP HF clinical data presented at the Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics (THT) late breaking clinical trials session showed the CardiAMP cell therapy positively impacts the lives of patients, particularly those having elevated markers of heart stress. These patients experienced statistically significant improvement in heart function. This aligned with the three tiers of the composite outcome of (1) living longer without heart replacement therapies such as LVAD or transplant, (2) having fewer major adverse events such as heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalizations, and (3) having a better quality of life, which also achieved statistical significance.

● In April, during the Formal Clinical Consultation with PMDA attended by six world class cardiologists, PMDA determined that the clinical safety and efficacy evidence for the CardiAMP® Cell Therapy in ischemic heart failure is likely sufficient to support market clearance. Alignment was achieved on the acceptability of the foreign clinical data developed in the United States, the indications for use in patients, the approach for introduction of the therapy in Japan, approaches for defining Appropriate Use Conditions, the need for continued post marketing studies in Japan, and how these post marketing studies are to be developed.

● In May, we received the preliminary Advisory Record from PMDA which is in line with expectations. We are preparing answers to outstanding questions and advancing towards Shonin submission, the formal application process for Pre-Market Approval (PMA) required to register the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System in Japan.

● In May, we had our Q-Sub Meeting with FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) on the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System for the treatment of ischemic heart failure of reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). FDA expressed no concerns on safety, agreed the benefits for patients who received therapy in the CardiAMP HF Trial were intriguing, and confirmed that Premarket Approval (PMA) continues to be the appropriate regulatory pathway. The FDA considered advancement of the PMA submission based on the currently available data. FDA recommended continuing the ongoing CardiAMP HF II trial as the confirmatory study to support a successful PMA and pledged ongoing support for the trial.

------

● Throughout the first quarter, patients have also been screened, consented, and randomized at the four active CardiAMP HF II clinical sites: University of Wisconsin, Morton Plant Mease Hospital, Emory University and Henry Ford Health.

CardiAMP autologous cell therapy in chronic myocardial ischemic with refractory angina (BCDA-02)

● Primary results of this cohort have been accepted for oral presentation at Euro PCR, a world-leading course in interventional cardiovascular medicine on May 20, 2026.

Helix™ Biotherapeutic Delivery System

● In February, we announced a Pre-Submission to the FDA under its Q-Submission program for the approval of our Helix Transendocardial Delivery Catheter (Helix) for intramyocardial therapeutic and diagnostic agent delivery.

● In May, BioCardia had this Pre-Submission meeting with FDA. FDA agreed that there are two pathways for Helix marketing clearance and raised no concerns on Helix safety data, device performance, or compatibility with general classes of agents. FDA's preferred route of Helix approval was simultaneous with the approval of the CardiAMP cell therapy system for the treatment of heart failure. FDA also suggested a follow-on pre-submission incorporating agency advice could enable Helix approval via the DeNovo pathway.

Intellectual Property

The Company's intellectual property portfolio is robust, with more than 60 patents and patent applications worldwide.

In March, the Company announced that the Japan Patent, "Target Site Selection, Entry, and Update with Automatic Remote Image Annotation." This patent adds further protection to BioCardia's proprietary Heart3D™ Fusion Imaging (Heart3D) software intended for treatment planning and real-time navigation during CardiAMP Cell Therapy procedures. The allowed Japanese patent has claims on the use of Heart3D fusion imaging configured for transposing a preoperative three-dimensional image obtained by Computer Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the patient's heart onto two orthogonal two-dimensional images to generate a combined three-dimensional model reconstruction of the heart on a display within or adjacent to a sterile field for navigating delivery systems and recording procedural locations.

"It has been a tremendous quarter, and we are thankful for the extensive interactions with PMDA and FDA in reviewing the CardiAMP HF clinical trial data and for their continued support. CardiAMP Cell Therapy for the treatment of ischemic heart failure is now advancing towards an expected initial regulatory approval in Japan, where cardiologists would be able to treat an estimated 20,000 patients annually having no treatment options." said BioCardia CEO Peter Altman, Ph.D. "We have also secured FDA support for the ongoing confirmatory CardiAMP HF II trial and FDA guidance on market clearance of our best-in-class Helix Transendocardial Delivery System. Our work with our world class physician partners has potential to ultimately help millions of patients suffering from ischemic heart failure and chronic myocardial ischemia with few current therapeutic options."
