Overview

Result Drivers

• TAKEDA REIMBURSEMENTS - Additional Q1 revenue came from development services and clinical trial cost reimbursement under the Takeda rusfertide agreement

• R&D SPENDING - Higher R&D expense was due to increased costs for PN-881 Phase 1 study and pre-clinical research, partly offset by lower rusfertide Phase 3 costs
