Importantly, we have significantly strengthened our late-stage pipeline in the first half, with positive Phase III lifecycle management readouts for Dysport in episodic and chronic migraine and Iqirvo in primary biliary cholangitis, alongside the completed acquisition of Memo Therapeutics AG and the proposed acquisition of Kartos Therapeutics. These transactions add two innovative clinical assets—navtemadlin and potravitug—with the potential to address significant unmet needs and create long-term value. Our expanding pipeline and focused business development strategy further contribute to Ipsen’s sustainable growth outlook and our ability to bring meaningful innovation to patients worldwide.” Full-year 2026 guidance Based on the strong performance in the first half, Ipsen upgrades its financial guidance for 2026: ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(131); }); Total sales growth greater than 20.0%, at constant currency. Based on the average level of exchange rates in June 2026, an adverse effect on total sales of around 1% of currencies is expected Core operating margin greater than 37.0% of total sales, which includes additional R&D expenses from anticipated early and mid-stage external innovation opportunities and assumes the dilutive impact of the acquisitions of Memo Therapeutics AG and Kartos Therapeutics Guidance 4 on total sales and core operating margin in 2026 is assuming accelerated sales growth of the portfolio excluding Somatuline and the continued growth of Somatuline sales despite potential entry of generic lanreotide. Pipeline progress since Q1 2026 Ipsen presented in May late-breaking Phase II data in Glabellar Lines for corabotase, its first-in-class recombinant neuroinhibitor (RNI™), demonstrating a rapid onset of action, a statistically superior peak effect versus placebo at Week 4 and a clinically significant sustained duration of effect, outperforming both placebo and Dysport at Week 24. Corabotase has been recognized by the WHO (World Health Organization) and USAN (United States Adopted Name) as a novel botase molecule. Ipsen announced positive topline Phase III results from the BEOND migraine program in July, with Dysport meeting the primary endpoint in both the episodic, E-BEOND and chronic, C-BEOND trials by demonstrating statistically significant reductions in monthly migraine days versus placebo. These results make Dysport the first botulinum toxin to show efficacy in Phase III trials across both episodic and chronic migraine prevention. Dysport was well tolerated, with a safety pro with its established use and no new safety signals identified. Ipsen intends to submit to regulatory authorities and detailed results will be presented at a future scientific congress. Ipsen announced positive topline results from the Phase IIIb ELSPIRE study of Iqirvo in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in July. The study met its primary endpoint, with 85% of patients receiving Iqirvo achieving alkaline phosphatase (ALP) normalization at Week 52 versus 23% on placebo (p=<0.0001), while maintaining a safety pro with previous studies and identifying no new safety signals. ELSPIRE evaluated patients with ALP levels of 1-1.67x ULN, and supports the potential to significantly expand the addressable population for Iqirvo. Ipsen plans to submit the data to regulatory authorities and present these data at an upcoming scientific congress. Ipsen announced in July that the Phase III BOLD trial evaluating Bylvay ® (odevixibat) versus placebo in patients with biliary atresia who had already undergone a Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy did not meet its primary endpoint of improved native liver survival. Topline safety data remained consistent with odevixibat's well-established pro its approved indications, with no new signals identified. External innovation Ipsen recently announced its agreement to acquire Kartos Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, centered on navtemadlin, a Phase III oral MDM2 inhibitor for myelofibrosis designed to restore p53 tumor-suppressor activity in patients with a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib. Top-line data from the registrational POIESIS trial are expected in 2027. Under the terms of the agreement, Kartos shareholders will receive $450m upfront and may be eligible for up to $1.3bn in milestone payments, with closing anticipated by the end of Q3 2026, subject to customary conditions. Ipsen acquired Memo Therapeutics AG in July, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on potravitug, a Phase II antibody targeting BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a frequent cause of nephropathy, graft loss and transplant failure in kidney transplant recipients. Potravitug received FDA Fast Track designation in 2023 and EU Orphan Drug designation in 2025. Under the terms of the agreement, Memo Therapeutics AG shareholders received €200m upfront, with the potential for total consideration exceeding €700m through development, regulatory and sales milestones.

Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect Ipsen’s future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Use of the words ‘believes’, ‘anticipates’ and ‘expects’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including Ipsen’s expectations regarding future events, including regulatory filings and determinations. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared without taking into account external-growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by Ipsen. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising medicine in early development phase or clinical trial may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory or competition reasons. Ipsen must face or might face competition from generic medicine that might translate into a loss of market share. Furthermore, the research and development process involves several stages each of which involves the substantial risk that Ipsen may fail to achieve its objectives and be forced to abandon its efforts with regards to a medicine in which it has invested significant sums. Therefore, Ipsen cannot be certain that favorable results obtained during preclinical trials will be confirmed subsequently during clinical trials, or that the results of clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate the safe and effective nature of the medicine concerned. There can be no guarantees a medicine will receive the necessary regulatory approvals or that the medicine will prove to be commercially successful. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and healthcare legislation and risks arising from unexpected regulatory or political changes such as changes in tax regulation and regulations on trade and tariffs, such as protectionist measures, especially in the United States; global trends toward healthcare cost containment; technological advances, new medicine and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new-medicine development, including obtaining regulatory approval; Ipsen’s ability to accurately predict future market conditions; manufacturing difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; dependence on the effectiveness of Ipsen’s patents and other protections for innovative medicines; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions. Ipsen also depends on third parties to develop and market some of its medicines which could potentially generate substantial royalties; these partners could behave in such ways which could cause damage to Ipsen’s activities and financial results. Ipsen cannot be certain that its partners will fulfil their obligations. It might be unable to obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of Ipsen’s partners could generate lower revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on Ipsen’s business, financial position or performance. Ipsen expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so required by applicable law.

Ipsen's Iqirvo helps patients with PBC and moderately elevated ALP levelsDrug Farm raises $55M to advance two lead assetsIpsen's Iqirvo helps patients with PBC and moderately elevated ALP levelsIpsen reported that its PPAR agonist Iqirvo (elafibranor) met the primary endpoint of the Phase IIIb ELSPIRE trial involving patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels 1 to 1.67 times the upper limit of normal who had an inadequate response or intolerance to first-line ursodeoxycholic acid.The study randomised 92 PBC patients to receive either 80-mg once-daily Iqirvo or placebo. At week 52, 85% of patients taking Ipsen's drug achieved ALP normalisation versus 23% for placebo (p=<0.0001). The company will present the results at an upcoming medical meeting and submit the data to regulators.Iqirvo is already cleared to treat patients with PBC, thanks to an accelerated FDA approval in 2024. However, the ELSPIRE data could double the patient population addressable by the PPAR agonist, Ipsen said. "Normalising ALP is not just a biochemical outcome, but a tangible objective to delay the need for a liver transplant and improve prognosis for PBC patients," said Christelle Huguet, EVP and head of R&D at Ipsen. "These results contribute to the growing body of evidence on the potential of Iqirvo to help people achieve ALP normalisation."Drug Farm raises $55M to advance two lead assetsDrug Farm, a biotech with offices in Shanghai and New York, closed a $55-million series D on Monday to advance its lead asset DF-003, as well as several preclinical and early-stage programmes. The round was co-led by Shanghai Pudong Leading Area Investment Center and Shanghai Puxing Collaborative Private Equity Fund Partnership Enterprise, with participation from new investors Tukar Capital, Fuzhou Xinhe Fund, Shenzhen Luohu Donghai Chempartner Investment Fund and Keyuan Pharma, as well as existing backers BioVeda China Fund, YD Capital, Jiashan State VC, Detong Capital, Wedo Capital and Biometas.Developed by Drug Farm's AI platform MedChem5, DF-003 — an ALPK1 inhibitor — is in a Phase Ib study for ROSAH syndrome. The funding will help the asset complete pivotal testing in the disease setting and generate proof-of-concept data in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.The fresh capital will also be used to continue clinical development of the company's next-most advanced asset, DF-006. The oral ALPK1 agonist immunomodulator has completed multiple ascending dose testing in patients with virologically suppressed, HBeAg negative, chronic hepatitis B.
