Decreased R&D Spend:

  • 38% reduction ($20.2m) predominantly due to reduced spend on clinical trial activities.

Steady Investment in Manufacturing:

Continued build of pre-launch inventory of remestemcel-L to support the launch of SR-aGVHD.

On FDA approval, remestemcel-L inventory will be recognized on the balance sheet, currently at US$28.9 million.

  • Finance Costs included actual cash interest paid of US$6.1 million for FY2022, compared to US$5.9 million for FY2021.

  • The increase in reported Finance Costs was primarily due to the recognition of a non-cash gain on revaluation of our borrowings in the comparative year due to a reduction in expected value of future repayments.

Figures have been rounded.

Remestemcel-L: Plan for BLA Resubmission for Steroid-Refractory Graft Versus Host Disease In response to FDA guidance, Mesoblast has optimized a potency assay that was in place at the time of the 54-patient Phase 3 trial in children with SR-aGVHD

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

Mesoblast believes that the proposed potency assay measuring remestemcel-L’s in vitro anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity helps establish a clear understanding of remestemcel-L’s mechanism of action in SR-aGVHD

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

The potency assay from the Phase 3 trial demonstrates a relationship between the product’s activity in vitro and its effects on survival in the Phase 3 trial, with the strongest correlation to survival in those patients at highest mortality risk as measured by clinical severity or high biomarker levels of inflammation

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

Additionally, Mesoblast has now generated data from the expanded access program (EAP 275) of 241 children which confirm the ability of the in-vitro potency assay to measure product activity relevant to survival outcomes

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

In preparation for the expected FDA review, during the last quarter Mesoblast completed a mock preapproval inspection of its GMP manufacturing facility and process comprising both on-site and virtual inspections by external auditors

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

Mesoblast will provide these new data to FDA and address all chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) outstanding items as required for the planned BLA resubmission in the current quarter. If the resubmission is accepted, CBER will consider the adequacy of the clinical data in the context of the related CMC issues

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a major cause of mortality for COVID-19 patients who are immunocompromised, unvaccinated, or with comorbidities, as well as those with seasonal influenza and other pathogens

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

FDA has advised Mesoblast that an additional clinical study in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID19, if statistically positive, could provide sufficient evidence to support an emergency use authorization (EUA)

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

Mesoblast has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which coordinates and works closely with clinical investigators at over 40 sites across the United States focused on studying ARDS and other critical illnesses

==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==

The MOU proposes a collaboration toward the design and execution of a second COVID-19 trial for remestemcel-L; to jointly develop a trial protocol; and seek FDA approval for the trial

Rexlemestrocel-L – Opportunity in Chronic Low Back Pain

A New Paradigm for Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease

Burden of Illness

  • Back pain causes more disability than any other condition[1]

  • • Inflicts substantial direct and indirect costs on the healthcare system,[1] including excessive use of opioids in this patient population

Treatment Options

  • Minimal treatment options for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) who fail conservative therapy include opioids and surgery

  • 50% of opioid prescriptions are for CLBP[3]

  • Durable improvement in pain has potential to reduce opioid use and prevent surgical intervention

Market Opportunity

  • Over 7m patients are estimated to suffer from CLBP due to degenerative disc disease (DDD) in each of the U.S. and E.U.5[3,4,5]

Rexlemestrocel-L – Chronic Heart Failure

Rising Incidence & High Mortality

  • ❑ Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States[1]

  • ❑ Heart failure affects 6.5 million patients in the US and 26 million patients globally. As populations age, the prevalence is increasing[2]

  • ❑ Chronic heart failure is a progressive disease with a high mortality that approaches 50% at 5 years[2,3] and at least 75% after an initial hospitalization[4]

  • ❑ Patients with heart failure are also at high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiac events involving large vessels (heart attacks / strokes)

  • Rexlemestrocel-L Improved Left Ventricular Systolic Function, as Measured by Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) at 12 Months: Potential Early Surrogate Endpoint

  • ➢ In all treated patients (n=537) rexlemestrocel-L resulted in 52% greater increase in LVEF from baseline to 12 months compared with controls

  • ➢ While both groups had similar LVEF at baseline (28.7% and 28.6%), at 12 months least squared mean change from baseline was 5.0 for the rexlemestrocel-L group and 3.3 for controls (p=0.021)

  • ➢ In treated patients with CRP >2 (n=301) rexlemestrocel-L resulted in 86% greater increase in LVEF from baseline to 12 months compared with controls

  • ➢ While both groups had similar LVEF at baseline (29.1% and 28.2%), at 12 months least squared mean change from baseline was 5.6 for the rexlemestrocel-L group and 2.9 for controls (p=0.005)
