(Nasdaq: SPRY), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and their caregivers to better protect against allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis, announced today that Health Canada has granted approval for neffy 2 mg (epinephrine nasal spray) for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) in adults and children who weigh 30 kg or more. “The approval of neffy by Health Canada marks a meaningful advancement for the more than 2.5 million people living with allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis¹ in Canada, delivering the first needle-free epinephrine for use at the first signs of an allergic reaction,” said Richard Lowenthal, Co-founder, President and CEO of ARS Pharma. “ neffy ’s needle-free design reduces barriers to timely treatment while fitting more naturally into everyday life. It is easy to carry, simple to use, has a 30-month shelf life, temperature excursions up to 122 o F (50 o C), and, if accidentally frozen, can be used once thawed. In partnership with ALK Canada, we are focused on moving quickly to make neffy accessible across the country and helping people feel prepared in an allergic emergency.” ARS Pharma entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with ALK- Abelló A/S (ALK) in November 2024, providing ALK with exclusive rights to commercialize neffy in Europe, Canada, United Kingdom and certain other geographies outside of the U.S. Under the terms of the agreement, ARS Pharma has received upfront and milestone payments of $155 million to date and is eligible to receive up to an additional $310 million in regulatory and sales milestones, as well as tiered, double-digit royalties in the teens on net sales in licensed geographies. ARS Pharma will be responsible for manufacturing and supplying neffy to ALK in Canada and expects neffy to be available in the summer of 2026. ARS Pharma anticipates filing for approval of neffy 1 mg dose for children greater than 15 kg and less than 30 kg with Health Canada by this summer.

Please see the full Prescribing Information and Patient Information for neffy . About Type I Allergic Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Type I allergic reactions are serious and potentially life-threatening events that can occur within minutes of exposure to an allergen and require immediate treatment with epinephrine, the only FDA-approved medication for these reactions. While epinephrine auto-injectors have been shown to be highly effective, there are well published limitations that result in many patients and caregivers delaying or not administering treatment in an emergency situation. These limitations include fear of the needle, lack of portability, needle-related safety concerns, lack of reliability, and complexity of the devices. There are approximately 40 million people in the United States who experience Type I allergic reactions. Of this group, over the last three years, approximately 20 million people have been diagnosed and treated for severe Type I allergic reactions that may lead to anaphylaxis, but (in 2023, for example) only 3.2 million filled their active epinephrine auto-injector prescription, and of those, only half consistently carry their prescribed auto-injector. Even if patients or caregivers carry an auto-injector, more than half either delay or do not administer the device when needed in an emergency. About ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARS Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and their caregivers to better protect patients from allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis. The Company is commercializing neffy ® (trade name EUR neffy ® in the EU and 优敏速 ® in China), an epinephrine nasal spray indicated in the U.S. for emergency treatment of Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adult patients and pediatric patients who weigh 33 lbs. or greater, and in the EU for emergency treatment of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) due to insect stings or bites, foods, medicinal products, and other allergens as well as idiopathic or exercise induced anaphylaxis in adults and children who weigh 30 kg or greater.

neffy delivers $72.2 million of U.S. net product revenue in first full year Intranasal epinephrine platform advances with Phase 2b CSU data expected mid-2026 Strong balance sheet of $245.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments supports operating plan through anticipated cash-flow break-even Conference call to be held today, March 9, 2026, at 5:30 a.m. PT / 8:30 a.m. ET SAN DIEGO, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRY), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and their caregivers to better protect patients from allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, and provided an update on the commercial launch of neffy ® (epinephrine nasal spray), the first and only FDA - and European Commission - approved needle-free epinephrine treatment for Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. “2025 was an important year for ARS Pharma as we established neffy as a differentiated, scalable epinephrine treatment of choice. We have built a strong base business with initial prescriptions expected to begin renewing in 2026 as product reaches expiration. This shift towards renewals, combined with continued growth in new neffy patients, positions us to accelerate market share expansion,” said Richard Lowenthal, Co-Founder, President and CEO of ARS Pharma. “Progress with insurers has been positive over the past year and we continue to focus in 2026 on securing unrestricted access with the remaining major payors. In parallel, we are executing with discipline across commercial, regulatory, and clinical fronts by removing friction to scale adoption, generating real-world evidence to reinforce confidence in neffy , and expanding global approvals of neffy . With a strong balance sheet, shifting prescribing behavior, and a growing DTC platform accelerating patient and caregiver engagement, we believe we are building a durable franchise with meaningful long-term strategic value.” Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results Revenue : Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $28.1 million, comprised of $20.3 million in net product revenue from neffy sales in the U.S., $6.9 million in collaboration revenue from international partners, and $0.9 million in supply revenue from partners. The cash value of royalties received from ALK-Abelló A/S (ALK) during the fourth quarter was $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million was included as revenue and $0.1 million was recorded to the financing liability on the company’s balance sheet. Full year 2025 revenue totaled $84.3 million, reflecting $72.2 million in neffy sales in the U.S., $9.7 million in partner collaboration revenue, and $2.4 million from supply agreements. The cash value of royalties received from ALK during the full year 2025 was $0.5 million, of which $0.2 million was included as revenue and $0.3 million was recorded to the financing liability on the company’s balance sheet. Research and Development (R&D) Expenses : R&D expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 were $3.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively. These costs were primarily associated with product development, clinical trials, and personnel related costs. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses : SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 were $60.0 million and $230.1 million, respectively, reflecting the company’s substantial investment in its direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing campaign and continued sales and marketing expenses associated with the U.S. commercialization of neffy . The company remains committed to continued investment in neffy promotion at a similar annualized spend level in 2026 to accelerate U.S. market share growth. Net Loss : Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $41.3 million, or $0.42 per share basic and diluted. Net loss for the full year 2025 was $171.3 million, or $1.74 per share basic and diluted. Cash Runway : As of December 31, 2025, ARS Pharma had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $245.0 million, with 99,290,926 shares of common stock outstanding. The company believes that its year-end cash position will fund operations through expected cash-flow break-even. neffy Commercial Launch Progress in the United States Payor access progress : ARS Pharma continues to engage in discussions with the remaining major payors to ensure neffy is added to formulary without restriction. Eligible commercially insured patients may access neffy with a $0 co-pay. Currently eight state Medicaid plans are covering neffy without prior authorization, with additional state Medicaid plans anticipated to add neffy to their Preferred Drug Lists in 2026. The company is targeting gross-to-net retention of approximately 50% while maximizing unrestricted payor access to drive volume. New DTC advertisement : An updated DTC advertisement launched in January 2026 on connected, linear and broadcast television. The campaign highlights core attributes and benefits of neffy and how it fits seamlessly into the lifestyles of real-world neffy patients. ARS Pharma anticipates that this updated DTC advertisement will drive greater awareness, recall, and adoption of neffy . Sales force expansion : To increase prescribing depth through higher call frequency with high-prescribing allergists and their support staffs involved in electronic epinephrine prescriptions, ARS Pharma will be expanding its sales force from 106 to 150 beginning in the second quarter of 2026. This expansion is expected to be funded through resource reallocation and is not anticipated to increase planned SG&A expense for 2026. Additional highlights from the neffy U.S. commercial launch include: Increasing breadth and depth of HCP adoption : More than 22,500 healthcare providers (HCPs) have prescribed neffy to date, of which 50% are repeat prescribers. Growing volume in “Get neffy on Us” campaign : In November 2025, the company initiated a new integrated commercial campaign designed to eliminate the time burden of an office visit and reduce cost barriers by enabling eligible patients with a current epinephrine auto-injector prescription or diagnosis to switch to neffy via a free virtual provider, with a $0 co-pay. “Get neffy on Us” is contributing to growing the base of new neffy patients who are likely to renew as their product expires, which ARS Pharma anticipates will support market share growth at that time. Currently, approximately 10% of neffy prescription volume is facilitated through getneffy.com , and ARS Pharma expects participation to increase over time as the program is integrated into the new DTC advertising campaign launched in January 2026. Real-world experience publication supports comparable outcomes to injection : Allergist-reported real-world treatment outcomes from the neffy Experience Program in patients experiencing anaphylaxis were published as a correspondence in the December 2025 issue of Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology , the official peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). The survey data showed that about 90% of patients were effectively treated with a single dose of neffy , with outcomes that are comparable to historically reported epinephrine injection. The neffy Experience Program provides 2 mg and 1 mg neffy to allergists for in-office use during an anaphylaxis event occurring during oral food challenges or allergen immunotherapy. School access expansion : More than 9,000 schools have opted into the neffy inSchools program, with each school receiving two cartons of neffy 2 mg or 1 mg at no cost for emergency use through the School Health Corp. SHConnect platform. U.S. Phase IV study ongoing : ARS Pharma’s post-marketing, randomized, controlled study evaluating neffy in 600 anaphylaxis treatment events in U.S. oral food challenge or allergen immunotherapy clinics, where anaphylaxis events are routinely observed, diagnosed, and treated under medical supervision, is ongoing. Continued Global Expansion of neffy and EUR neffy EUR neffy ® 1 mg positive CHMP decision : In January 2026, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion recommending the marketing authorization for EUR neffy ® 1 mg for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) due to insect stings or bites, foods, medicinal products and other allergens, as well as idiopathic or exercise-induced anaphylaxis in children aged 4 years and older with a bodyweight between 15 kg and 30 kg. neffy approval in China : In December 2025, the National Medicines Product Agency granted approval in China for neffy 2 mg for the emergency treatment of Type 1 allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) in adults and children who weigh 30 kg or greater. In connection with the approval, ARS Pharma earned a $4 million regulatory milestone from the company’s regional commercialization partner, Pediatrix Therapeutics that is included in 2025 collaboration revenue. neffy approval in Australia : In December 2025, the Therapeutics Goods Association approved neffy 2 mg and 1 mg doses in Australia for the treatment of anaphylaxis in adults and children aged four years and over and weighing 15 kg or greater. Additional regulatory approval anticipated in 2026 : Regulatory approval for neffy in Canada (with ALK) is expected in the second quarter of 2026, with launch expected to start later in 2026. Clinical Advancement of Intranasal Epinephrine Program Phase 2b trial in urticaria ongoing : A Phase 2b trial (NCT06927999) evaluating the company’s intranasal epinephrine technology as a treatment for acute flares of chronic spontaneous urticaria is enrolling patients across the U.S. and Europe, with interim data anticipated in the second half of 2026 followed by the potential initiation of a single pivotal efficacy study in mid-2027.

EURneffy 1 mg will be the first and only needle-free adrenaline available to younger children in the European Union ARS Pharma’s partner, ALK-Abelló A/S, who owns the rights to market EURneffy in the EU, will distribute following expected authorization by the European Commission SAN DIEGO, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRY), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and their caregivers to better protect patients from allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis, announced today that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion, recommending expanding the marketing authorization for EUR neffy ® to include a 1 mg nasal adrenaline spray. EUR neffy 1 mg is for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) due to insect stings or bites, foods, medicinal products and other allergens, as well as idiopathic or exercise-induced anaphylaxis, in children who weigh ≥15 kg and <30 kg. The opinion supports an extension to EUR neffy 2 mg approval granted by the European Commission (EC) in August 2024 for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis in adults and children who weigh ≥30 kg. Following grant of 1 mg dose, the marketing authorization will be valid in all EU member states, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. “The availability of a needle-free adrenaline option for younger children directly addresses one of the most significant barriers to timely treatment in this age group,” said Richard Lowenthal, Co-founder, President and CEO of ARS Pharma. “CHMP’s positive opinion marks an important milestone for families, particularly given that approximately one-quarter of epinephrine auto-injector use in Europe is for younger children weighing less than 30 kg. 1 Following the expected authorization of EUR neffy 1 mg, parents and caregivers with younger children will have a convenient, needle-free 1 mg option that they can administer quickly and confidently. As neffy (marketed as EUR neffy in the EU) continues to receive regulatory approvals and expands globally, we are focused on ensuring more families have access to a treatment option designed for practicality and ease of use when seconds matter.” neffy ’s needle-free design reduces barriers to timely treatment while fitting more naturally into everyday life. It is easy to carry, simple to use, has temperature excursions up to 50 o C (122 o F), and, if accidentally frozen, can be used once thawed without damage to the device or product within. neffy is commercially available in the U.S. for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adults and children who weigh at least 33 pounds. In 2025, ALK successfully launched EUR neffy 2 mg in selected countries throughout Europe and in the U.K. Regulatory approvals for neffy in Canada are expected in early 2026. Additionally, recent regulatory approvals for neffy occurred in Japan (with Alfresa), China (with Pediatrix Therapeutics) and in Australia (with CSL Seqirus). About neffy ® (marketed as EUR neffy in the EU) neffy is a nasal spray used for emergency treatment of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, in adults and children aged 4 years and older who weigh 33 lbs. or greater. INDICATION AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR neffy (epinephrine nasal spray) INDICATION neffy is indicated for emergency treatment of type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adult and pediatric patients aged 4 years and older who weigh 33 lbs. or greater. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION neffy contains epinephrine, a medicine used to treat allergic emergencies (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening, can happen in minutes, and can be caused by stinging and biting insects, allergy injections, foods, medicines, exercise, or other unknown causes. Always carry two neffy nasal sprays with you because you may not know when anaphylaxis may happen and because you may need a second dose of neffy if symptoms continue or come back. Each neffy contains a single dose of epinephrine. neffy is for use in the nose only. Use neffy right away, as soon as you notice symptoms of an allergic reaction. If symptoms continue or get worse after the first dose of neffy , a second dose is needed. If needed, administer a second dose using a new neffy in the same nostril starting 5 minutes after the first dose. Get emergency medical help for further treatment of the allergic emergency (anaphylaxis), if needed after using neffy . Tell your healthcare provider if you have underlying structural or anatomical nasal conditions, about all the medicines you take, and about all your medical conditions, especially if you have heart problems, kidney problems, low potassium in your blood, Parkinson's disease, thyroid problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or plan to breastfeed. Tell your healthcare provider if you take or use other nasal sprays or water pills (diuretics) or if you take medicines to treat depression, abnormal heart beats, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, thyroid disease, medicines used in labor, and medicines to treat allergies. neffy and other medications may affect each other, causing side effects. neffy may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how neffy works. neffy may cause serious side effects. If you have certain medical conditions or take certain medicines, your condition may get worse, or you may have more or longer lasting side effects when you use neffy . Common side effects of neffy include: nasal discomfort, headache, throat irritation, chest and nasal congestion, feeling overly excited, nervous or anxious, nose bleed, nose pain, sneezing, runny nose, dry nose or throat, tingling sensation, including in the nose, feeling tired, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that bother you or that do not go away after using neffy . These are not all of the possible side effects of neffy . Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects, contact ARS Pharmaceuticals Operations, Inc. at 1-877-MY-NEFFY (877-696-3339) or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or . Please see the full Prescribing Information and Patient Information for neffy . About Type I Allergic Reactions Including Anaphylaxis Type I allergic reactions are serious and potentially life-threatening events that can occur within minutes of exposure to an allergen and require immediate treatment with epinephrine, the only FDA-approved medication for these reactions. While epinephrine auto-injectors have been shown to be highly effective, there are well published limitations that result in many patients and caregivers delaying or not administering treatment in an emergency situation. These limitations include fear of the needle, lack of portability, needle-related safety concerns, lack of reliability, and complexity of the devices. There are approximately 40 million people in the United States who experience Type I allergic reactions. Of this group, over the last three years, approximately 20 million people have been diagnosed and treated for severe Type I allergic reactions that may lead to anaphylaxis, but (in 2023, for example) only 3.2 million filled their active epinephrine auto-injector prescription, and of those, only half consistently carry their prescribed auto-injector. Even if patients or caregivers carry an auto-injector, more than half either delay or do not administer the device when needed in an emergency. About ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARS Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and their caregivers to better protect patients from allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis. The Company is commercializing neffy ® (trade name EU Rneffy ® in the EU and 优敏速® in China), an epinephrine nasal spray indicated in the U.S. for emergency treatment of Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adult patients and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older who weigh 33 lbs. or greater, and in the EU for emergency treatment of allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) due to insect stings or bites, foods, medicinal products, and other allergens as well as idiopathic or exercise induced anaphylaxis in adults and children who weigh 30 kg or greater.
