| Statement |
|---|
| We are pleased with our progress in important areas including regulatory accomplishments, commercial preparation and new program development |
| I am pleased to report on our strong balance sheet |
| And I think internally, we've done a very good job of ensuring that we understand that pathway |
| We continue to make excellent progress on this front, including strengthening our commercial and sales team, and continuing to finalize key tactics including, our distribution and patient service programs, our branded HCP and patient engagement plans, and our internal data infrastructure capabilities to allow quick and actionable insights, during launch |
| That dynamic I think is very favorable for us as we move forward into launch |
| Overall, we believe we are in a strong position to successfully launch ensifentrine, pending approval in June |
| With our current cash balance and the expected proceeds available under this debt facility, we believe we are in a strong financial position as we prepare to launch ensifentrine in the US and advance new clinical programs |
| But overall, we're very pleased with where we are with our supply chain |
| When we think about exacerbation data, lung function data, symptom improvement data and the benefit-risk profile that Dave described numerous times, we believe that value is very high |
| And again, good luck |
| I think also we noted that and I think it's good for COPD in general and the attention is severe disease is getting |
| Very good |
| In support of our commercialization activity as well as our continued pipeline expansion in December, we enhanced our financial flexibility through a debt financing facility providing access to up to $400 million |
| We believe our balance sheet remains strong and with the cash currently on hand and funding anticipated to be available under the recently closed $400 million debt facility, we expect to have sufficient runway at least through the end of 2026, including the planned commercialization of ensifentrine in the US, if approved and the two Phase 2 development programs, Dave discussed a few moments ago |
| This confidence is based on the novel profile of ensifentrine, the significant unmet need in COPD, our commercial preparation, and the deep experience and capabilities of the Verona team |
| I think that, I think based on all our work we've done to date, all the market research, the work that we have done with HCPs, we feel confident that the need is there, and the launch will go well in our view |
| I appreciate that if the number is closer -- we're addressing, it as just another indication which is great in helping patients |
| Following a very positive data from our Phase 3 ENHANCE program, we submitted a new drug application to the FDA seeking U.S |
| This highlights HCP's continued need for new and effective COPD therapies to provide relief to their patients |
| Of course, that's very efficient as you can imagine |
| This combination was assessed in the ENHANCE program, where ensifentrine added on to a LAMA, demonstrated robust efficacy and safety compared with placebo added on to a LAMA |
| If we think about launches, what you typically see in a lot of launches that are slower challenges with market access, I think we've been able to mitigate that risk partly due to the channel that ensifentrine will flow through being that it is primarily a Medicare Part B, medical reimbursement pathway that risk of slower uptake of new product launches is not essentially eliminated but is mitigated by the pathway of reimbursement of ensifentrine |
| And as Dave said, we'll be in a very good place come PDUFA to be able to provide specifics around that |
| Across all of our research what we see is that, the adoption and the willingness to try ensifentrine is very high |
| approval of ensifentrine for the maintenance treatment of patients with COPD |
| You're doing an awful lot of dosing when you've already shown it's safe and efficacious at doses |
| And in addition, I'd like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and the dedicated and talented team at Verona for their work and commitment |
| And I think it's great for the patients that Dupixent applies to as well as you mentioned is a fairly small subset of the entire COPD population in the U.S |
| Additionally, based on the clinical profile of ensifentrine observed in COPD patients, including a reduction in exacerbation rate and risk, an improvement in symptoms of cough and sputum, we believe ensifentrine could potentially be an effective treatment for noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis |
| Good day and congrats on the quarter |

| In addition, approximately 60% of patients, who could be considered maximally treated on dual bronchodilators or triple therapy are dissatisfied |
| Hypothetically speaking, if the launch trajectory doesn't ramp up immediately, it doesn't look strong right off of that |
| This is a severe chronic condition, where the airways of the lung become abnormally wide, leading to a cycle of infection, inflammation and exacerbations that cause lung tissue damage |
| This represents a loss of $0.09 per ordinary share or $0.69 per ADS for the year compared to a loss of $0.13 per ordinary share or $1.04 per ADS in 2022 |
| But, again, let's be aware that anything can happen |
