Financial Highlights

Royalty Revenue

Revenue from royalties on sales of TEMCELL® HS Inj.[1] sold in Japan by our licensee were US$1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. On a constant currency basis, royalties on sales grew 4% quarter on quarter to US$2.0[2] million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared with US$1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Last 12-months revenue of US$7.6 million from royalties on product sales.

Cash Burn

Net cash usage for operating activities in the third quarter FY2023 was US$16.2 million; this represented a 4% increase (US$0.7 million) on the third quarter FY2022, and a 34% reduction (US$8.3 million) on the third quarter FY2021.

Capital

Successful completion of a global private placement primarily to Mesoblast’s existing major US, UK, and Australian shareholders raising approximately US$40.0 million, net of transaction costs.

Status of BLA for Remestemcel-L in Pediatric Patients with SR-aGVHD

New Data Under Review

BLA resubmitted Jan 30, 2023

BLA file considered by FDA to be a complete response, accepted for review, with PDUFA goal date August 2, 2023

New data under review shows:

  • Durable long-term survival of patients in Phase 3 trial

o Increased survival in high-risk patients compared with propensity matched controls

o Positive correlation between in vitro potency assay and survival

  • That the validated potency assay has low variability and can adequately demonstrate manufacturing consistency and reproducibility

Manufacturing Inspection Conducted

FDA has now conducted the Pre-License Inspection (PLI) of the manufacturing process for remestemcel-L

FDA inspection did not result in the issuance of a Form 483, which is provided at the conclusion of an inspection if investigators have observed any conditions that in their judgment may constitute violations of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and related Acts

Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) is expected to be issued by FDA in the coming weeks providing a detailed summary and final assessment of the inspection

Remestemcel-L: Long-Term Survival Data a Cornerstone of BLA Resubmission to FDA for SR-aGVHD

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 Overall survival in the remestemcel-L cohort was 63% at 1 year, 51% at 2 years, and 49% at 4 years

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 These long-term survival outcomes are a cornerstone of the BLA resubmission

The Immunomodulatory Activity of Remestemcel-L on T Cell Activation in vitro is a Direct Measure of Product Potency and Correlates with Survival in Pediatric Patients with SR-aGVHD

The clinical benefits of remestemcel-L in SR-aGVHD are likely due to its immunomodulatory effects on alloreactive T cell activation/proliferation and inflammatory cytokine production

An in vitro assay measuring inhibition of T-cell activation was established during development, prior to the Phase 3 trial, as a potential measure of product potency

Assay was used to measure the ability of individual remestemcel-L lots to inhibit T cell activation prior to their use in EAP 275 and the Phase 3 trial GVHD 001

Correlations between survival outcomes in EAP 275 and the Phase 3 trial GVHD 001 and potency of lots received as measured by inhibition of T-cell activation were performed

19

m e s o b l a s t

Correlation of Remestemcel-L (Ryoncil) Lot Potency and 6-Month Survival

Analyses were performed evaluating in vitro/in vivo relationships in relation to inhibition of T-cell activation by product lots administered

There was an association between higher inhibition of T-cell activation by product lots received and Day 180 survival (85% Day 180 OS > median vs. 54% Day 180 OS ≤ median, p=0.01)

The relationship between greater survival and level of inhibition of T-cell activation > median vs. ≤ median was most evident in patients with the most severe form of the disease and at highest risk for death:

  • Minnesota high risk (Day 180 OS 89% vs 50%, p=0.01)

  • MAGIC Algorithm Probability (MAP) ≥0.29 (Day 180 OS 100% vs. 17%, p=0.003)

  • IBMTR Grade D disease (Day 180 OS 91% vs. 50%, p=0.03)

Note that expected Day 180 survival for Grade D treated with best available therapy in CIBMTR registry is ~30%

Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation Granted by FDA for Rexlemestrocel-L in the treatment of CLBP

RMAT designation provides all the benefits of Breakthrough and Fast Track designations, including rolling review and eligibility for priority review on filing of a Biologics License Application (BLA)

Results from the trial showed that:

A single injection of rexlemestrocel-L+HA into the lumbar disc resulted in significant reduction in pain compared with saline control at 12 and 24 months across all subjects (n=404)

Pain reduction through 36 months was seen in the subset of patients using opioids at baseline (n=168) with the rexlemestrocel-L+HA group having substantially greater reduction at all time points compared with saline controls

Among patients on opioids at baseline, despite instructions to maintain existing therapies throughout the trial, at 36 months 28% who received rexlemestrocel-L+HA were not taking an opioid compared with 8% of saline treated controls

27

m e s o b l a s t

Phase 3 Trial Outcomes based on a Single Injection of Rexlemestrocel-L + HA Results in More than Three Years of Pain Reduction

Greatest pain reduction was observed in the pre-specified population of subjects with CLBP duration shorter than the baseline study median of 68 months (n=202) with significantly greater reduction (nominal p-value < 0.05) at all time points analyzed over 36 months compared with saline controls

Randomized, double-blind, controlled, 537 patient Phase 3 trial of rexlemestrocel-L over mean followup of 30 months showed:

Improved LVEF from baseline to 12 months in all patients - maximal benefit seen in patients with active inflammation

Reduced risk of MI or stroke by 57% in all treated patients, and by 75% in patients with inflammation

Reduced risk for time-to-first Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE), defined as cardiovascular death, MI or stroke, by 28% in all patients, and by 37% in patients with inflammation
