Lexeo Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Operational Highlights

Announced positive interim data for LX2006 from Phase 1/2 studies in Friederich ataxia (FA) cardiomyopathy; frataxin expression and LVMI improvement exceeded co-primary target thresholds for planned registrational study LX2006 registrational study expected to begin by early 2026; commencing enrollment in prospective natural history study, CLARITY-FA, in Q2 2025 to serve as concurrent external control Phase 1/2 clinical trial of LX2020 (HEROIC-PKP2) currently enrolling patients in Cohort 3; interim clinical data update on track for second half of 2025 Redeployed $20 million to focus on clinical-stage programs; cash, cash equivalents and investments of $106.9 million expected to provide operational runway into 2027 NEW YORK, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lexeo Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXEO), a clinical stage genetic medicine company dedicated to pioneering novel treatments for cardiovascular diseases, today provided business updates across its portfolio and reported first quarter 2025 financial results. “Based on the highly encouraging clinical data shared to date, we believe LX2006 could be transformational and establish a new standard of care in FA cardiomyopathy,” said R. Nolan Townsend, Chief Executive Officer of Lexeo Therapeutics. “We look forward to beginning enrollment in the CLARITY-FA natural history study imminently and moving as quickly as possible to initiate a registrational study for LX2006 by early 2026. We were also proud to share the promising, early data for LX2020 for the treatment of PKP2-associated arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and we look forward to sharing additional clinical updates later in 2025 for this program.” Business and Program Updates LX2006 for the Treatment of FA Cardiomyopathy: In April 2025, Lexeo announced positive interim data of LX2006 across both the Lexeo-sponsored SUNRISE-FA Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05445323) and the Weill Cornell Medicine investigator-initiated Phase 1A trial (NCT05302271).  Efficacy: Clinically meaningful improvements were observed across cardiac biomarkers and functional measures in the majority of participants across both studies. Participants with abnormal left ventricular mass index (LVMI) at baseline achieved 25% mean reduction in LVMI by 12 months or sooner, exceeding the 10% target reduction in LVMI by 12 months aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the planned registrational study.Protein Expression: Increases in cardiac frataxin expression were observed in all SUNRISE-FA participants at 3-months post treatment, with an average increase of 115% over baseline observed in the high-dose cohort.Safety: LX2006 continues to be generally well tolerated with no new treatment-related serious adverse events to report.Regulatory Plans: Lexeo expects final alignment with FDA on the LX2006 planned pivotal study protocol and statistical analysis plan in 2025. Lexeo previously aligned with FDA on co-primary endpoints for the study and measurement thresholds: greater than 10% reduction in LVMI as measured by cardiac MRI, and any increase from baseline cardiac frataxin expression as measured by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS).Next Steps: In Q2 2025, Lexeo expects to begin enrollment in a prospective natural history study serving as a concurrent external control arm for the registrational study. The Company expects to initiate a registrational study by early 2026 with a potential efficacy readout in 2027. LX2020 for the Treatment of PKP2-ACM: In March 2025, Lexeo shared positive interim data of LX2020 from the low-dose cohort in the HEROIC-PKP2 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Cohort 1 Interim Update: At 3-months post-treatment, cardiac biopsies from two participants in cohort 1 showed 71% and 115% increases, respectively, in PKP2 protein expression from baseline; the third cohort 1 participant elected not to undergo a post-treatment biopsy. The first participant evaluated 6-months post treatment experienced a 67% reduction in premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) from baseline.Safety: LX2020 has been generally well tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events to date across both dose cohorts.Next Steps: Currently enrolling cohort 3 of LX2020 HEROIC-PKP2 (n=4), with an interim clinical data update expected in the second half of 2025. Capital Redeployment and Cash Runway: In April 2025, Lexeo identified approximately $20 million in capital to redeploy towards the Company’s lead cardiac programs, LX2006 and LX2020. This capital was redeployed from preclinical and non-cardiac pipeline activities and included a limited reduction in force impacting approximately 15% of employees. The updated capital structure is expected to enable the Company to execute against key milestones for its clinical-stage pipeline, accelerate work to initiate a registrational study for LX2006 by early 2026, and maintain operational runway into 2027. First Quarter Financial Results Cash Position: As of March 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $106.9 million, which Lexeo believes will be sufficient to fund operations into 2027.Research and Development Expenses: Research and Development expenses were $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.General and Administrative Expenses: General and Administrative expenses were $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.Net Loss: Net loss was $32.7 million or $0.99 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $21.7 million or $0.77 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Disclosure In addition to the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP measures that it determines to be useful in evaluating its operating performance and liquidity. The Company presents in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit. The Company defines EBITDA as GAAP net loss excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and the Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, FiberCel and VBM litigation costs, loss or gain on revaluation of warrant liability, warrant issuance expenses and gain on revaluation of revenue interest obligation. The Company defines adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin as GAAP gross profit and GAAP gross margin, respectively, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets. The amortization of these intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial information to establish budgets, manage the Company’s business, and set incentive and compensation arrangements. Non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental information purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP, see below “Non-GAAP Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” and “Non-GAAP Reconciliations of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin.” Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Recent Highlights Total revenue for the first quarter 2025 was $12.3 million, an increase of 15% over the prior year quarterU.S. Heart Failure (HF) revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $11.1 million, an increase of 14% over the prior year quarterActive implanting centers in the U.S. grew to 227, an increase of 19% since March 31, 2024Real-world evidence presented at the 2025 THT conference and published in the Journal of Cardiac Failure demonstrated large and statistically significant reductions in hospital visits for patients treated with Barostim “We’re encouraged about the momentum building in our business as we move into the second quarter,” said Kevin Hykes, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVRx. “While revenue growth in the first quarter didn’t meet our expectations, we added a significant number of new sales representatives, and are very pleased with the talent we have attracted to the organization. As these reps are still in the early stages of building their territories, we expect their contributions to grow as the year progresses. We continue to support these commercial initiatives by advancing our growing body of clinical evidence, highlighted by our recently published hospitalization data from the Premier Healthcare Database, which further reinforced Barostim’s value proposition in the treatment of heart failure patients.” First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results Revenue was $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.6 million, or 15%, over the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Gross margin was 84% and 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. R&D expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 18%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

SG&A expenses decreased $7.1 million, or 25%, to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily driven by an $8.6 million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in compensation expenses, mainly as a result of increased headcount. Approximately $8.4 million of the non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was related to the previously disclosed modification of stock options held by the former Chief Executive Officer in connection with his retirement in the first quarter of 2024. Interest expense increased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by the increased borrowings under the term loan agreement with Innovatus Capital Partners. Other income, net increased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by increased interest income on our interest-bearing accounts.
