MINNEAPOLIS and BRISBANE, Australia, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (“Anteris” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AVR, ASX: AVR) a global structural heart company committed to designing, developing, and commercializing cutting-edge medical devices to restore healthy heart function, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a corporate update. Q1 2026 Highlights Completed aggregate capital raises totalling $320 million in January 2026 to support execution of the PARADIGM Trial and advance the Company toward global commercialization of the DurAVR® THV SystemAdvanced PARADIGM Trial recruitment, supported by ongoing regulatory and operational work to activate additional countries and sites – post quarter-end, U.S. enrollment commencedPresented clinical data from the ongoing EMBARK Study and U.S. Early Feasibility Study (EFS) at Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT 2026) and Sydney Valves 2026, supporting ongoing scientific engagement and exchange with the clinical community “Q1 2026 reflects strong execution across the PARADIGM Trial, with patient enrollment ongoing in Europe and continued progress on key recruitment activities globally. With the U.S. now on line and first patients enrolled, we are firmly executing our strategy and building momentum toward the commercial launch of DurAVR®,” said Wayne Paterson, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Anteris. Business & Operations Following initiation of our global pivotal trial in Q4 2025, we are seeing continued progress across Europe, and the United States where patient enrollment has recently commenced. Clinical centers are advancing through key start up milestones, including ethics and regulatory approvals, site initiation visits and investigator training, alongside active patient screening and enrollment at activated sites. In the United States, recent coverage determination by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is expected to facilitate patient recruitment by supporting reimbursement and facilitating site-level adoption. Eligible procedures performed at participating U.S. study sites are covered under the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) National Coverage Determination 20.32. Collectively, these activities are supporting growing enrollment momentum as additional sites come on line and contribute to trial execution. Financial Results The financial results for Anteris for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, are presented below. All amounts in $ refer to U.S. dollars. The Company’s net operating cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $28.7 million, attributable to clinical, regulatory and manufacturing requirements to support the PARADIGM Trial. This clinical focus is reflected in the Company’s operating expenditures, with R&D expenses of $17.5 million driven by the upscaling of manufacturing and quality capabilities, including process design and validation activities and the expansion of headcount, and activities linked to the PARADIGM Trial, including clinical costs associated with the enrollment of additional patients and the scaling of our field-based clinical team. These were partly offset by reduced DurAVR® THV product research costs. Anteris refers to the detailed financial information contained in its Form 10-Q filing including the Management Discussion & Analysis and the Risks. ENDS About the PARADIGM Trial The PARADIGM Trial is a prospective randomized controlled trial which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR® Transcatheter Heart Valve (“THV”) compared to commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This head-to-head study will enrol approximately 1,000 patients in the ‘All Comers Randomized Cohort’ with 1:1 randomization of patients who will receive either the DurAVR® THV or TAVR using commercially available and approved THVs. The PARADIGM Trial will assess non-inferiority on a primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, all stroke and cardiovascular hospitalization at one year post procedure.

David Hochman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Orchestra BioMed stated, “We continued to make meaningful advancements across our late-stage cardiovascular pipeline during the first quarter. Along with the achievement of recently announced important regulatory, clinical and financing milestones, we are pleased to provide clarity on the expected timeline for the BACKBEAT Trial highlighting objectives for enrollment completion, late-breaking clinical trial presentation, and plans for potential regulatory submissions by our strategic collaborator Medtronic. With increasingly strong momentum continuing in the BACKBEAT Trial and the AVIM Therapy program, and great progress for the Virtue Trial and Virtue SAB, our team is excited about the significant value inflection points that lie ahead for Orchestra BioMed.” Q1 2026 and Recent Business Highlights: Provided overall update on the BACKBEAT Trial timeline, targeting enrollment completion by the end of the third quarter of 2026 and announced plans with Medtronic to pursue presentation of primary endpoint data as a late-breaking clinical trial presentation at a major cardiovascular conference in the second quarter of 2027, assuming primary endpoints are met. The updated timeline is supported by FDA approval of a reduction in sample size for the BACKBEAT Trial to a target total of 284 evaluable randomized subjects, with a total enrollment target of 316 patients accounting for potential loss to follow-up. FDA granted AVIM Therapy a second FDA Breakthrough Device Designation (“BDD”) specific to patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite the use of anti-hypertensive medications, and an indication for a pacemaker. The BDDs granted to AVIM Therapy collectively apply to indications that encompass both the broader population of patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite medication and increased cardiovascular risk, as well as the specific pacemaker-indicated population with uncontrolled hypertension being evaluated in the BACKBEAT Trial, representing a U.S. population of over 7.7 million patients.BDD can support enhanced reimbursement pathways, including potential eligibility for New Technology Add-on Payment and Transitional Pass-Through payment, which can facilitate broader, more timely patient access and provider adoption. Received $35 million in strategic capital under previously disclosed agreements with Medtronic and Ligand (Nasdaq: LGND). Received $20 million from Medtronic as payment for a secured subordinated promissory note convertible to capped prepaid revenue share, fulfilling Medtronic’s previously disclosed funding commitment. This brings Medtronic’s total capital contribution to Orchestra BioMed to nearly $82 million including prior equity investments, supporting the planned completion of the BACKBEAT Trial.Received $15 million tranche payment from Ligand associated with the previously disclosed Royalty Purchase Agreement, bringing total capital received from Ligand to $40 million to date in exchange for tiered royalty interest in certain future AVIM Therapy and Virtue SAB revenue, as well as an equity investment. Presented AVIM Therapy clinical and mechanistic data at HRS 2026, including pre-randomization data from the MODERATO II pilot study in which AVIM Therapy demonstrated a mean immediate reduction in office systolic blood pressure of 13.2 mmHg upon activation, with 97% of patients achieving a 5 mmHg or greater blood pressure reduction upon AVIM Therapy activation.Advanced site activation and patient enrollment in the Virtue Trial, a multi-center, prospective, randomized head-to-head IDE registrational clinical trial comparing Virtue SAB with the commercially available AGENT™ paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis. Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2026 Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities totaled $94.4 million as of March 31, 2026. On May 1, 2026, we received $35 million, which includes $20 million from Medtronic and $15 million from Ligand pursuant to the terms of agreements with those parties.Net cash used in operating activities and for the purchase of fixed assets was $22.4 million during the first quarter of 2026, compared with $16.7 million for the first quarter in 2025, with the primary drivers being increased research and development costs, including clinical trial activities, as well as personnel and consulting expenditures, which include non-recurring payments, during the first quarter of 2026.Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $0.1 million, compared with $0.9 million for the first quarter in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the elimination of recognized revenue from our prior distribution agreement with Terumo, which was terminated in October 2025.Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $15.8 million, compared with $13.5 million for the first quarter in 2025, which represents an increase of 17%. The increase was primarily due to additional costs associated with the ongoing BACKBEAT Trial and to advance the Virtue SAB program, including the Virtue Trial.Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $6.4 million, compared with $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, which represents an increase of 2%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees.Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2026 was $20.7 million, or ($0.33) per share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $18.8 million, or ($0.49) per share, for the first quarter of 2025, which represents an increase of 10%.

About AVIM Therapy AVIM Therapy is an investigational therapy compatible with standard dual-chamber pacemakers designed to substantially and persistently lower blood pressure. It has been evaluated in pilot studies in patients with hypertension who are also indicated for a pacemaker. MODERATO II, a double-blind, randomized pilot study, showed that patients treated with AVIM Therapy experienced net reductions of 8.1 mmHg in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (aSBP) and 12.3 mmHg in office systolic blood pressure (oSBP) at six months when compared to control patients. In addition to reducing blood pressure, clinical results using AVIM Therapy demonstrate improvements in cardiac function and hemodynamics. The BACKBEAT (BradycArdia paCemaKer with atrioventricular interval modulation for Blood prEssure treAtmenT) global pivotal trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of AVIM Therapy in lowering blood pressure in patients who have systolic blood pressure above target despite anti-hypertensive medication and who are indicated for or have recently received a dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker. AVIM Therapy has been granted two Breakthrough Device Designations by the FDA for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients who have increased cardiovascular risk. About Virtue SAB Virtue SAB is designed to deliver a proprietary extended-release formulation of sirolimus, SirolimusEFR™ through a non-coated microporous AngioInfusion™ Balloon that protects the drug in transit to consistently deliver a large liquid dose overcoming certain limitations of drug-coated balloons. SirolimusEFR delivered by Virtue SAB has been shown in published preclinical series involving hundreds of arterial deliveries to achieve sustained tissue levels well above the known required therapeutic tissue concentration for inhibiting restenosis (1 ng/mg tissue) for the entire critical healing period of approximately 30 days. Virtue SAB demonstrated positive three-year clinical data in coronary ISR in the SABRE study, a multi-center prospective, independent core lab-adjudicated pilot clinical study of 50 patients conducted in Europe. Virtue SAB has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA for specific indications relating to coronary ISR, coronary small vessel disease and peripheral artery disease below-the-knee.
