Halle (Saale) / Munich, Germany, September 4, 2025 - Vivoryon Therapeutics N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam: VVY; NL00150002Q7) (Vivoryon), a clinical stage company developing small molecule medicines for inflammatory and fibrotic disorders, with a primary focus on kidney diseases, today announced financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update. The report is available on the Company's website https://www.vivoryon.com/financial-information/.
"In the first half of 2025, we have continued making substantial progress in advancing varoglutamstat in kidney disease, including significantly extending protection of our key asset varoglutamstat with a new composition of matter patent in the U.S.," said Frank Weber, MD, CEO of Vivoryon. "We were especially pleased to share our outstanding clinical study results with the medical community at ERA in June, further solidifying our view of varoglutamstat potentially becoming a novel therapeutic option for patients affected by kidney disease. Our data underscore varoglutamstat's unique ability to stabilize and even improve kidney function, as measured by eGFR values. Moreover, we are excited to have compiled evidence of a potential synergistic effect of varoglutamstat in combination with SGLT-2 inhibitors for which we have generated very promising pre-clinical data. We are continuing to elucidate varoglutamstat's mechanism of action in kidney disease. As more and more datapoints complete the picture, we strongly believe that varoglutamstat can effectively address the significant unmet need for new therapies that tackle the underlying inflammatory and fibrotic changes which are key drivers of disease progression in patients with CKD and DKD."

Vivoryon has recently completed a series of supporting clinical data analyses and pre-clinical experiments which provide further evidence for varoglutamstat's potential to beneficially impact kidney function based on its proposed mechanism of action.
• Vivoryon has investigated the effects of varoglutamstat on inflammation, fibrosis and kidney function in an established advanced mouse model of DKD with type 2 diabetes and hypertension (ReninAAV UNx db/db). QPCT/L inhibition with varoglutamstat led to a statistically significant reduction in inflammation (CD11c), fibrosis (glomerulosclerosis) and plasma creatinine, supporting an improvement in kidney

function. These data corroborate the effect of varoglutamstat on key kidney disease biomarkers previously reported in the ADI/CKD model and add to the overall body of evidence supporting varoglutamstat's potential in kidney disease including DKD.
Vivoryon's key strategic priority for 2025 is to advance varoglutamstat in kidney disease and confirm the previously reported compelling data from two independent Phase 2 studies, VIVIAD and VIVA-MIND, by conducting a Phase 2b clinical study in patients with advanced diabetic kidney disease (DKD) stage 3b/4. Initiation of the Phase 2b and all future studies is subject to additional funding and/or partnership, which Vivoryon continues to actively explore.
Vivoryon announced on May 27, 2025, that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted an additional patent covering the active polymorph of varoglutamstat. The new U.S. patent (US 12,312,335) was granted after an accelerated examination process and has a scheduled runtime through 2044 with subsequent opportunity for patent term extension of up to five years to 2049 under the Hatch-Waxman Act. Additional patents for medical use and dosing regimens are under examination for varoglutamstat and related structures in kidney disease as monotherapy and in combination with SGLT-2 inhibitors.
The Company has enlarged its portfolio by nominating a novel, next generation QPCT/L inhibitor showing compelling pharmacological activity. This candidate, VY2149, is a potential fast follower in DKD or could also be explored for other inflammatory and fibrotic diseases including orphan diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD). VY2149 is currently in pre-clinical stage and further development is subject to additional funding and/or partnership, which Vivoryon continues to actively explore.


Revenues were zero in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Research and development expenses decreased by EUR 7.5 million to EUR 2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to EUR 10.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This reduction was largely attributable to a decrease in clinical development costs of EUR 5.6 million from the VIVIAD and VIVA-MIND studies and a reduction in production costs of EUR 1.5 million. R&D expenses in the reporting period mainly occurred for kidney related research.
General and administrative expenses were EUR 2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to EUR 3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease of EUR 0.7 million was largely attributable to lower personnel costs of EUR 0.4 million and a decrease in legal and consulting cost of EUR 0.2 million.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was EUR 5.5 million, compared to EUR 13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company held EUR 4.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, compared to EUR 9.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
The Company expects, based on its most recent financial and business plan, that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating plans into January 2026, subject to the occurrence of unforeseen circumstances and without taking into account any funds possibly raised under the SEPA as well as other potential additional financing transactions, if any. This guidance is in line with the cash runway update published on April 29, 2025, the issuance date of its annual Financing Statements 2024.
This cash runway guidance reflects an overall reduction in cash utilization including the conclusion of the VIVIAD and VIVA-MIND studies while prudently investing in preparing to execute on the Company's kidney disease strategy. The initiation of the Phase 2b DKD study is subject to further additional funding and/or partnership, which the Company continues to actively explore.
The viability of the Company's business beyond its current guidance is dependent on its ability to raise additional funds to finance its operations which also depends on the success of its research and development activities such as those focusing on exploring opportunities in kidney disease.
The Company expects to have continuing operating losses for the foreseeable future and the need to raise additional capital to finance its future operations. The Company has concluded

that the ability to continue as a going concern in the financial year 2026, as stated in the Company's Annual Report 2024 published on April 29, 2025, depends on the ability to generate additional funding. As such the Company has concluded that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Please refer to the Company's Annual Report 2024 for further information.
