**CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 28, 2026** – Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (Nasdaq: WVE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on unlocking the broad potential of RNA medicines to transform human health, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

"We're accelerating WVE-007 to the next stages of development following the improvements in body composition already observed in the Phase 1 portion of our INLIGHT trial, including profound reductions in harmful visceral fat, along with favorable safety and potential for once to twice yearly dosing," said Paul Bolno, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer at Wave Life Sciences. "This quarter, we expect to initiate the Phase 2a portion of INLIGHT in individuals with higher BMI and excess fat. Given WVE-007's mechanism of targeted lipolysis, we believe this portion of the study can deliver even more pronounced improvements in body composition. Importantly, we've designed the Phase 2a study to assess additional biomarkers of cardiometabolic health, which will inform WVE-007's broad potential across obesity and multiple indications, including MASH, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. We also plan to rapidly initiate investigation of WVE-007 in both the combination and maintenance settings soon thereafter."

Dr. Bolno added, "We continue to make significant progress advancing our RNA editing pipeline led by WVE-006 for AATD. Clinical data from our ongoing RestorAATion-2 trial of WVE-006 has already demonstrated the potential to provide a much-needed new therapeutic option. By correcting the root cause of disease, WVE-006 restores dynamic AAT production to address lung manifestations and lowers harmful Z-AAT to address liver manifestations of the disease, with a therapy that is well-tolerated, non-permanent, and highly specific. WVE-006 also avoids delivery with LNPs and collateral bystander edits and indels associated with DNA base editing. In May, we expect

to highlight data from our RestorAATion-2 trial, including results from our less frequent, 400 mg monthly dose and 600 mg single dose cohorts. We remain on track to receive regulatory feedback on a potential accelerated approval pathway for WVE-006 mid-year. Building on our clinical success in RNAi and RNA editing, we are advancing WVE-008, as well as a pipeline of additional hepatic and extra-hepatic siRNAs and AIMers."

**Recent Business Highlights and Expected Milestones** 

*Obesity* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **WVE-007** is an investigational GalNAc-siRNA (SpiNA design) designed
to silence INHBE mRNA to induce fat loss without muscle loss, a promising therapeutic strategy to treat obesity with strong evidence from human genetics. WVE-007 is being evaluated in the ongoing
placebo-controlled INLIGHT clinical trial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Phase 1 INLIGHT:** In March 2026, Wave announced <u>interim results</u> from the ongoing Phase 1,
single-ascending dose portion of its INLIGHT trial in healthy individuals with overweight or obesity (average BMI of ~32 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, a population with less fat and lower BMI than those in Phase 2 and
Phase 3 obesity studies), which showed further improvements in body composition at six months following a single dose of WVE-007. WVE-007 continued to be generally safe
and well tolerated. At six-month follow-up, a single 240 mg dose of WVE-007 demonstrated continued total body fat reduction (-5.3%) with muscle preservation (+2.4%), as well as clinically meaningful reductions in visceral fat (-14.3%; p<0.05) and waist circumference (-3.3%) – exceeding the 5–10% visceral fat reductions that support robust correlations to clinical outcomes (lower risk of MASH, T2D, and CVD)<sup>1</sup>.
Preservation of muscle is a key differentiator from incretin treatments and is linked to health benefits including higher basal metabolic rate, improved insulin sensitivity, and prevention of weight regain. Activin E reductions were robust and
durable and continue to support potential for once or twice-yearly dosing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Additional data from INLIGHT, including data from the 600 mg Phase 1 SAD cohort, are expected in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Phase 2a INLIGHT:** The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the Phase 2a multidose portion
of INLIGHT trial of WVE-007 (INHBE GalNAc-siRNA) in individuals with higher BMI (35-50 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) with and without type
2 diabetes. This placebo-controlled (3:1) portion of the trial will include multiple assessments over a 12-month period, including body weight, waist circumference, body composition (MRI and DEXA), liver fat (MRI-PDFF), HbA1c, lipid levels, CRP, and muscle function, with a first assessment at three months following the first dose. Data from the Phase 2a study will inform further development of WVE-007 in obesity, as well as in MASH, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wave is on track to initiate the Phase 2a portion of INLIGHT in the second quarter of 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Combination with incretin and post-incretin maintenance studies of WVE-007 are expected to initiate in 2026.

*AATD (Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency)* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **WVE-006** is an investigational GalNAc-conjugated, subcutaneously
delivered, RNA editing oligonucleotide (AIMer) for AATD. The RestorAATion-2 clinical trial is fully enrolled through the 600 mg cohort, and dosing is complete in the single dose portion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clinical data from the 200 mg (single and biweekly) and 400 mg (single dose) cohorts of the ongoing RestorAATion-2 clinical trial have demonstrated WVE-006 achieved key AATD treatment goals by recapitulating an MZ-like phenotype,
characterized by basal AAT levels above 11 µM, wild-type M-AAT above 50% of total AAT, reduction of Z-AAT protein, and dynamic AAT production during an acute phase

response. These data will be included at multiple upcoming medical meetings including in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference (Dr. Kenneth R. Chapman, MsC, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FERS, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto) on May 18, 2026 and in an oral presentation at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress (Dr. Pavel Strnad, MD, Professor of Translational Gastroenterology and Senior Physician at the University Hospital Aachen, Department of Medicine III) on May 29, 2026. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wave will hold an investor conference call and webcast at 5:30 p.m. ET on May 18, 2026 to highlight its AATD
program, including new clinical data from the 400 mg multidose cohort and 600 mg single dose cohort of RestorAATion-2. Wave also expects to share data from the 600 mg multidose cohort in the second half of
2026. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wave expects to receive regulatory feedback on a potential accelerated approval pathway mid-2026.

*PNPLA3 I148M liver disease* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **WVE-008:** Wave is building on its clinical success in RNA editing
by advancing WVE-008, a GalNAc-conjugated AIMer for homozygous PNPLA3 I148M liver disease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wave will highlight preclinical data supporting WVE-008 in a poster
presentation at the EASL Congress.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Clinical trial application (CTA) filing for WVE-008 is on track for 2026.

*DMD (exon 53)* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **WVE-N531:** Wave remains on track to file a New Drug Application
(NDA) in 2026 to support accelerated approval of WVE-N531 with monthly dosing.

*Bifunctional modality* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wave is applying learnings from across its platform and chemistry optimization to investigate new bifunctional
modalities which combine RNAi and RNA editing or dual RNAi silencing into a single oligonucleotide construct. These constructs are designed to silence multiple targets or silence one target while simultaneously editing or upregulating another
distinct target. Wave expects to provide further updates on its bifunctional modality in 2026.

**Financial Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash and cash equivalents were $544.6 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $602.1 million as
of December 31, 2025. Wave expects that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations into the third quarter of 2028. Potential future milestone and other payments to Wave under its GSK collaboration are not
included in its cash runway.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue recognized was $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $9.2 million in the
prior year quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Research and development expenses were $47.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to
$40.6 million in the same period in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• General and administrative expenses were $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to
$18.4 million in the same period in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net loss was $26.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to a net loss of $46.9 million in
the prior year quarter.

AATD impacts multiple organ systems and has limited treatment options • AATD is a rare, inherited genetic disorder that is commonly caused by a G-to-A point mutation in the SERPINA1 gene • Pi\*ZZ genotype is leading cause of severe AATD, predisposing to progressive lung damage, liver damage or both • Aggregation of mutant Z-AAT protein in hepatocytes and a lack of functional, wild-type M-AAT drives liver and lung disease, respectively AATD Lung Disease AATD Liver Disease • Treatment goal: Minimize episodic • Treatment goal: Decrease Emphysema Hepatocellular Fibrosis → Cirrhosis → Carcinoma Bronchiectasis exacerbations and associated damage Z-AAT protein • Lung damage occurs during • Progressive liver disease exacerbations that induce an results from Z-AAT-induced inflammatory acute phase response, proteotoxic stress when more AAT protein is needed for protection • Weekly IV augmentation therapy is only treatment option• No approved therapies — No protective increase in AAT protein levels during acute phase response without additional IV infusions ~200K people in the US and Europe are homozygous for the Z allele (Pi\*ZZ genotype) 29 Strnad et al., 2020 N Engl J Med 382:1443-55; Blanco et al. 2017 Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 12:561-69
