Business and Pipeline Updates

z-rostudirsen (DYNE-251) for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

• Phase 1/2 DELIVER trial (Registrational Expansion Cohort, n=32) met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant, 7-fold increase in muscle dystrophin expression to 5.46% of normal at 6 months (p<0.0001).
• Across all six topline functional endpoints (including Time to Rise Velocity and 10-Meter Walk/Run Velocity), z-rostudirsen showed improvement vs. placebo, with two measures achieving nominal p<0.05, despite the trial not being powered for functional significance.
• Lung function (FVC%p), a key mortality predictor in DMD, was preserved at 6 months versus decline in placebo.
• Long-term data (24 months) indicated sustained functional improvement and potential preservation of cardiopulmonary function. Data to be presented at the 2026 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference.
• Favorable safety profile maintained, with most adverse events being mild or moderate.
• BLA submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval planned for Q2 2026; global confirmatory Phase 3 trial initiation also planned for Q2 2026. FDA alignment on trial design achieved.
• Potential U.S. commercial launch in Q1 2027, assuming Priority Review and timely approval. Non-U.S. approval pathways also being pursued.

z-basivarsen (DYNE-101) for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)

• Completion of enrollment for the 60-participant Registrational Expansion Cohort (REC) in the ACHIEVE trial expected in Q2 2026.
• Data from REC expected in Q1 2027, supporting a potential BLA submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval in early Q3 2027.
• Potential U.S. launch in Q1 2028, assuming Priority Review.
• Global confirmatory Phase 3 trial to start in March 2026, with trial design to be presented at the 2026 MDA Conference. Non-U.S. regulatory pathways also being pursued.

Additional Programs for DMD

• Advancement of four additional exon-skipping candidates (DYNE-253, DYNE-245, DYNE-244, DYNE-255) for exons 53, 45, 44, and 55, respectively, into IND-enabling studies.
• These utilize the same FORCE™ platform as z-rostudirsen and are designed to enable near full-length dystrophin production in relevant patient subgroups.

Financial Highlights

• Cash Position: \$1.11 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, supporting operations into Q1 2028.
• R&D Expenses: \$398.3 million for 2025, up from \$281.4 million in 2024, reflecting significant pipeline progress and clinical trial activity.
• G&A Expenses: \$69.9 million for 2025, up from \$62.5 million in 2024, as the company scales operations.
• Net Loss: \$446.2 million (\$3.47/share) for 2025, compared to \$317.4 million (\$3.37/share) in 2024. Q4 2025 net loss was \$112.0 million (\$0.76/share), up from \$89.5 million (\$0.88/share) in Q4 2024.
• Weighted Average Shares Outstanding: Increased to 128.4 million in 2025 from 94.1 million in 2024, reflecting capital raising activities.
• Balance Sheet: Total assets of \$1.19 billion and total equity of \$972 million at year-end 2025.

Strategic and Shareholder Considerations

• Dyne is entering a critical period, with its first potential commercial launch expected within 12 months, subject to regulatory approvals. This is a transformative phase for the company, moving from clinical to potential commercial-stage.
• Positive clinical data in DMD and DM1, with regulatory clarity and alignment, de-risks the pipeline and could drive significant value upon FDA acceptance, approval, and market launch.
• Potential for expedited regulatory pathways (Priority Review, Accelerated Approval) could accelerate revenue generation and impact valuation.
• Strong cash position ensures runway through major milestones, reducing financing risk in the near- to medium-term.
• Increasing R&D and G&A expenses are expected for a late-stage biotech, but net losses are likely to remain elevated until commercial revenues begin.
• Investors should watch for upcoming catalysts: BLA submission and acceptance, Phase 3 trial initiations, long-term data readouts, and global regulatory progress.
