Remestemcel-L: BLA Response to FDA CRL for Steroid-Refractory Graft Versus Host Disease
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
Survival outcomes have not improved over the past two decades for children or adults with the most severe forms of SR-aGVHD. The lack of any approved treatments for children under 12 means that there is an urgent need for a therapy that improves the dismal survival outcomes in children
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
In light of the unmet need, remestemcel-L has been granted Fast Track Designation and BLA Priority Review from the FDA
==> picture [24 x 19] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
A major milestone in the Company’s complete response to the FDA was the submission at the end of the last quarter of substantial new information on clinical and potency assay items to the Investigational New Drug (IND) file for remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with SR-aGVHD, as guided by FDA Mesoblast has optimized a potency assay that was in place at the time of the Phase 3 trial and which demonstrates a relationship between the product’s activity in vitro and its effects on survival in the Phase 3 trial
==> 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

Remestemcel-L: Long-Term Survival Data a Cornerstone of BLA Resubmission to FDA for SR-aGVHD
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
Today Mesoblast provided new results from a four-year observational survival study performed by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) on 51 evaluable patients with SR-aGVHD who were enrolled in Mesoblast’s phase 3 clinical trial of remestemcel-L.
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
Overall survival in the remestemcel-L cohort was 63% at 1 year, 51% at 2 years, and 49% at 4 years
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
Across four recently published studies of children or adults with SR-aGVHD, 1 year survival of 40-49% and 2 year survival of 25%-38% were seen[1-4] after best available therapy (BAT) or the only FDA-approved agent for adults, ruxolitinib
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
The new long-term survival data provide assurance that the short-term day 28 responses and early survival through 180 days in the 54-patient Phase 3 trial in children with SR-aGVHD previously presented to FDA in the original BLA submission are unlikely to have arisen by chance
==> picture [24 x 18] intentionally omitted <==
These long-term survival outcomes are a cornerstone of the BLA resubmission

Financial Highlights
-
❑ At September 30, 2022, cash-on-hand was US$85.5 million.
-
❑ Up to an additional US$40.0 million may be drawn from existing financing facilities subject to achieving certain milestones, with current discussions to extend the period for the drawdown option.
-
❑ Net cash usage for operating activities in the quarter was US$14.3 million; this represented a 22% reduction (US$3.9 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2022, and a 47% reduction (US$12.5 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2021.
-
❑ Revenue from royalties on sales of TEMCELL® HS Inj.[1] sold in Japan by our licensee for the quarter were US$1.4 million and US$1.8 million on a constant currency basis. For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 royalties were US$7.7 million, and on a constant currency basis[2] US$9.0 million, a 9% increase on the comparative period.
-
TEMCELL[®] HS Inj. is a registered trademark of JCR Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd.

TEMCELL sales by our Licensee are recorded in Japanese Yen before being translated into USD for the purposes of calculating the royalty paid to Mesoblast. Results have been adjusted for the movement of the USD to Japanese Yen exchange rate from 1USD:110.2Yen for the 12 months ended September 30, 2021 to 1USD:129.2Yen for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022.

❑ Reduction in Expenditure:
Expenditure for R&D, Manufacturing and Management & Administration inclusive of non-cash items, were US$17.5 million, a decrease of 23% (US$5.2 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 on the comparative quarter.
❑ Continued Investment in Manufacturing:
During the quarter we continued pre-launch manufacturing activities and product testing for remestemcel-L to support the potential commercial launch for SR-aGVHD.
On FDA approval, remestemcel-L inventory will be recognized on the balance sheet, currently at US$28.0 million.
- ❑ Finance Costs included actual cash interest paid of US$1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 2022.
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.

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)

New therapies for chronic heart failure reduce recurrent hospitalizations due to cardiac
decompensation, however they do not materially improve cardiac mortality or major
ischemic events (heart attacks/strokes)

Rexlemestrocel-L: Phase 3 Trial in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF)
-
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)
LVEF, 2-point MACE, and recurrent hospitalizations due to heart attack or stroke were pre-specified endpoints and the 3-point MACE was a post-hoc analysis of pre-specified endpoint components
