**Zevra Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Corporate Update**

*Q1 2026 net revenue of $36.2 million, a 78% increase over Q1 2025*

*Completed $50.0 million sale of SDX portfolio to Commave Therapeutics* 

*Operational execution fueled strong cash position of $236.8 million*

*Company to host conference call and webcast TODAY, May 6, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET*

BOSTON, Mass., May 6, 2026 -- Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. (NasdaqGS: ZVRA) (Zevra, or the Company), a commercial-stage company focused on providing therapies for people living with rare disease, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"We made meaningful progress across the business in the first quarter, led by continued performance for MIPLYFFA, underscoring its role in addressing the needs of patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C," said Neil F. McFarlane, Zevra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also completed the $50.0 million divestiture of the SDX portfolio, and we repaid our term loan debt, sharpening our strategic focus and strengthening our financial position as we execute on our 2026 priorities."

**MIPLYFFA® (arimoclomol) Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.: Received nine MIPLYFFA prescription enrollment forms for Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) during Q1 2026, bringing the total to 170 since product launch. Market access remains stable at 69% of covered lives. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EU: A Marketing Authorisation Application for the evaluation of arimoclomol for the treatment of NPC is under review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The Company submitted its response to the EMA's 120-day list of questions within the 90-day clock stop period, advancing the application along the standard review process. Arimoclomol has been designated an Orphan Medicinal Product by the EMA. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Global Expanded Access Program (EAP): As of March 31, 2026, 122 patients were enrolled in the global EAP. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the *Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease*, MIPLYFFA was included in the newly updated Clinical Practice Guidelines for the treatment and management of NPC.

**Pipeline and Innovation Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enrolled 10 patients in the event-driven Phase 3 DiSCOVER trial for the treatment of Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome during Q1 2026, bringing the total number of enrolled patients to 62, with a total of two confirmed events. The Company expects to hold a follow-up meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second half of this year to explore pathways to accelerate clinical development.

**Corporate Highlights** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Executed $50.0 million SDX portfolio sale to Commave Therapeutics, strengthening the balance sheet and supporting strategic priorities. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prepaid the principal balance on its $63.1 million term loan in full, resulting in a strong, debt-free balance sheet and enhanced financial and strategic flexibility.

------

**Q1 2026 Financial Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Revenue, Net:** $36.2 million for Q1 2026, which includes $24.6 million of MIPLYFFA net revenue, $0.3 million of OLPRUVA net revenue, $10.2 million in net reimbursements from our EAP, and $1.1 million in royalties and other reimbursements under the AZSTARYS® license agreement. This was an increase in total net revenue of $15.8 million compared to $20.4 million in Q1 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Cost of Product Revenue:** $1.9 million for Q1 2026, excluding non-cash intangible asset amortization. Cost of product revenue for Q1 2025 was $1.3 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Operating Expenses:** $25.2 million for Q1 2026, which includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $3.1 million. Total operating expenses for Q1 2025 were $22.8 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ R&D expense was $4.4 million for Q1 2026, which was an increase of $1.1 million compared to $3.3 million for Q1 2025 due primarily to an increase in third-party costs incurred and professional fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ SG&A expense was $20.8 million for Q1 2026, which was an increase of $1.2 million compared to $19.5 million for Q1 2025, due primarily to an increase in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease in third party spending.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Net income (loss):** Net income of $37.9 million, or $0.62 per basic and $0.60 diluted share for Q1 2026, compared to a net loss of $(3.1) million, or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share, in Q1 2025.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ In Q1 2026, the Company received $40.5 million of the $45.0 million in net proceeds from the sale of the SDX portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Excluding $43.3 million from the one-time gain on the sale of the SDX portfolio, one-time charges of $2.8 million in loss on extinguishment of debt and $7.2 million in loss on derivative liability and payoff premium related to the prepayment of the term loan in full, and $6.9 million in income tax expense related to the transaction, estimated adjusted quarterly net income would be $11.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share.<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Cash Position:** Cash, cash equivalents and securities were $236.8 million as of March 31, 2026. Based on its current operating forecast, the Company believes available financial resources are sufficient to execute on its strategic priorities independent from the capital markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Common and Fully Diluted Shares O/S:** As of March 31, 2026, total shares of common stock outstanding were 59,114,850, and fully diluted common shares were 68,946,838, which included 7,302,609 issuable from outstanding awards under equity incentive plans, and 2,529,379 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.

<sup>1</sup> Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share provide useful information for investors, and management uses these supplemental measures to assess the Company's operating performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share have limitations as analytical tools because they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including in our industry, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with other operating and financial performance measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

**About MIPLYFFA® (arimoclomol)**

MIPLYFFA (arimoclomol) is Zevra's approved therapy for the treatment of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Sep. 20, 2024, MIPLYFFA (arimoclomol) increases the activation of the transcription factors EB (TFEB) and E3 (TFE3) resulting in the upregulation of coordinated lysosomal expression and regulation (CLEAR) genes. MIPLYFFA has also been shown to reduce unesterified cholesterol in the lysosomes of human NPC fibroblasts. The clinical significance of these findings is not fully understood. In the pivotal phase 3 trial, MIPLYFFA halted disease progression compared to placebo over the one-year duration of the trial when measured by the only validated disease progression measurement tool, the NPC Clinical Severity Scale. MIPLYFFA has also received Orphan Medicinal Product designation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of NPC. The extensive data generated for MIPLYFFA has shown long-term, meaningful clinical outcomes with 5 and in some patients 7 years of patient experience across more than 270 NPC patients worldwide through a Phase 2/3 clinical trial, Open-Label Extension (OLE) study, Expanded Access Programs (EAP), and a pediatric sub-study, which is the most expansive clinical development program in NPC to date. Zevra has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency for the evaluation of arimoclomol for the treatment of Niemann-Pick disease type C.

**INDICATIONS AND USAGE**

MIPLYFFA is indicated for use in combination with miglustat for the treatment of neurological manifestations of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.

**IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION**

**Hypersensitivity Reactions:**

Hypersensitivity reactions such as urticaria and angioedema have been reported in patients treated with MIPLYFFA during Trial 1: two patients reported both urticaria and angioedema (6%) and one patient (3%) experienced urticaria alone within the first two months of treatment. Discontinue MIPLYFFA in patients who develop severe hypersensitivity reactions. If a mild or moderate hypersensitivity reaction occurs, stop MIPLYFFA and treat promptly. Monitor the patient until signs and symptoms resolve.

**Embryofetal Toxicity:**

MIPLYFFA may cause embryofetal harm when administered during pregnancy based on findings from animal reproduction studies. Advise pregnant females of the potential risk to the fetus and consider pregnancy planning and prevention for females of reproductive potential.

**Increased Creatinine without Affecting Glomerular Function:**

Across clinical trials of MIPLYFFA, mean increases in serum creatinine of 10% to 20% compared to baseline were reported. These increases occurred mostly in the first month of MIPLYFFA treatment and were not associated with changes in glomerular function.

During MIPLYFFA treatment, use alternative measures that are not based on creatinine to assess renal function. Increases in creatinine reversed upon MIPLYFFA discontinuation.

**The most common adverse reactions** in Trial 1 (≥15%) in MIPLYFFA-treated patients who also received miglustat were upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, and decreased weight.

Three (6%) of the MIPLYFFA-treated patients had the following adverse reactions that led to withdrawal from Trial 1: increased serum creatinine (one patient), and progressive urticaria and angioedema (two patients). Serious adverse reactions reported in MIPLYFFA-treated patients were hypersensitivity reactions including urticaria and angioedema.

**To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. at toll-free phone 1-844-600-2237 or FDA at 1 800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.**

------

**Drug Interaction(s):**

Arimoclomol is an inhibitor of the organic cationic transporter 2 (OCT 2) transporter and may increase the exposure of drugs that are OCT 2 substrates. When MIPLYFFA is used concomitantly with OCT 2 substrates, monitor for adverse reactions and reduce the dosage of the OCT 2 substrate.

**Use in Females and Males of Reproductive Potential:**

Based on animal findings, MIPLYFFA may impair fertility and may increase post-implantation loss and reduce maternal, placental, and fetal weights.

**Renal Impairment:**

The recommended dosage of MIPLYFFA, in combination with miglustat, in patients with an eGFR ≥15 mL/minute to <50 mL/minute is lower than the recommended dosage (less frequent dosing) in patients with normal renal function.

MIPLYFFA capsules for oral use are available in the following strengths: 47 mg, 62 mg, 93 mg, and 124 mg.

**About OLPRUVA**®

OLPRUVA (sodium phenylbutyrate) is Zevra's approved treatment for the treatment of certain UCDs. OLPRUVA (sodium phenylbutyrate) for oral suspension is a prescription medicine used along with certain therapies, including changes in diet, for the long-term management of adults and children weighing 44 pounds (20 kg) or greater and with a body surface area (BSA) of 1.2 m<sup>2</sup> or greater, with UCDs, involving deficiencies of carbamylphosphate synthetase (CPS), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), or argininosuccinic acid synthetase (AS). OLPRUVA is not used to treat rapid increase of ammonia in the blood (acute hyperammonemia), which can be life-threatening and requires emergency medical treatment. For more information, please visit www.OLPRUVA.com.

**Important Safety Information**

Certain medicines may increase the level of ammonia in your blood or cause serious side effects when taken during treatment with OLPRUVA. Tell your doctor about all the medicines **you or your** child take, especially if you or your child take corticosteroids, valproic acid, haloperidol, and/or probenecid.

OLPRUVA can cause serious side effects, including: 1) nervous system problems (neurotoxicity). Symptoms include sleepiness, tiredness, lightheadedness, vomiting, nausea, headache, confusion, 2) low potassium levels in your blood (hypokalemia) and 3) conditions related to swelling (edema). OLPRUVA contains salt (sodium), which can cause swelling from salt and water retention. Tell your doctor right away if you or your child get any of these symptoms. Your doctor may do certain blood tests to check for side effects during treatment with OLPRUVA. If you have certain medical conditions such as heart, liver or kidney problems, are pregnant/planning to get pregnant or breast-feeding, your doctor will decide if OLPRUVA is right for you.

The most common side effects of OLPRUVA include absent or irregular menstrual periods, decreased appetite, body odor, bad taste or avoiding foods you ate prior to getting sick (taste aversion). These are not all of the possible side effects of OLPRUVA. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to U.S. FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

**About Celiprolol**

Celiprolol is Zevra's investigational clinical candidate for the treatment of Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (VEDS). Celiprolol has been granted Orphan Drug and Breakthrough Therapy designations by the U.S. FDA. Zevra recently restarted enrollment in the DiSCOVER trial, a Phase 3 trial being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. FDA. Celiprolol's mechanism of action is designed to reduce the mechanical stress on collagen fibers within the arterial wall through vascular dilation and smooth muscle relaxation.
