Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Note 1—General Information

Ascendis Pharma A/S, together with its subsidiaries, is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on applying its innovative TransCon technology platform to make a meaningful difference for patients. Ascendis Pharma A/S was incorporated in 2006 and is headquartered in Hellerup, Denmark. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ascendis Pharma A/S and its subsidiaries.

The address of the Company’s registered office is Tuborg Boulevard 12, DK-2900, Hellerup, Denmark. The Company’s registration number in Denmark is 29918791.

On February 2, 2015, the Company completed an initial public offering which resulted in the listing of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing the Company’s ordinary shares, under the symbol “ASND” in the United States on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. On April 20, 2026, the Company completed a mandatory exchange of all outstanding ADSs for ordinary shares resulting in the Company’s ordinary shares being listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Refer to Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for further details.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements on May 6, 2026.

Note 2—Summary of Material Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.” Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) and as adopted by the European Union (the “EU”).

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial year. A description of the accounting policies is provided in the Accounting Policies section of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

New and Amended IFRS Accounting Standards and Interpretations

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments which amended IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (the “Amendments”). The Amendments provide additional guidance and clarity on specific matters following completion of the IFRS 9 post-implementation review for Classification and Measurement. The Amendments apply for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Amendments:

•
clarify the existing requirements for the recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, including an accounting policy choice to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date.
•
provide guidance on assessing whether the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”), including instruments with environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”)-linked or other contingent features.
•
clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments (“CLI”), including how to assess SPPI and apply the CLI requirements.
•
require additional disclosures for instruments with contingent contractual terms, and for equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company has assessed this amendment and concluded that this, and other new and amended standards and interpretations applied for the first time in 2026, did not have an impact on its operations or interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2026.

F-6

New IFRS Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

The IASB has issued a number of new or amended standards, which have not yet become effective or have not yet been adopted by the EU. Therefore, these new standards have not been incorporated in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (“IFRS 18”), which replaces IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements.” IFRS 18 introduces new categories and subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, comprising following categories:

•
Operating activities;
•
Investing activities;
•
Financing activities;
•
Income taxes; and
•
Discontinued operations.

In addition, IFRS 18 includes new requirements for the location, aggregation and disaggregation of financial information, and disclosure of management-defined performance measures, as defined, if any. IFRS 18 does not include any measurement changes.

IFRS 18 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and must be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. While IFRS 18 will change the structure and subtotal in the statement of profit or loss, the full impact from implementing IFRS 18 is currently being analyzed.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not expected to be affected by other new or amended standards.

Note 3—Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Judgments, estimates and assumptions applied are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant, and which are available at the reporting date. Uncertainty concerning estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to assets and liabilities in future periods.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all disclosures for significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions, that are required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively. The three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 includes adjustments to prior-period estimates and assumptions for sales deductions.

While the application of critical accounting estimates is subject to material estimation uncertainties, management’s ongoing revisions of critical accounting estimates and underlying assumptions have, except for deferred tax assets, as described below, not revealed any other material impact to any of the periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements compared to December 31, 2025.

Deferred Tax Assets

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has recognized all deferred tax assets in Denmark and the United States. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that management assesses it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these assets can be utilized. This assessment involves significant judgment and is reviewed on an ongoing basis, considering actual results as well as updated forecasts and long-range business plans.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty primarily relate to continued global commercial growth, mainly expected revenue growth from YORVIPATH, and development of operating expenses to support growth.

F-7

As of March 31, 2026, recognized deferred tax assets were €690.4 million. The basis for recognizing deferred tax assets will be reassessed annually, or more frequently considering internal and external factors that may affect the Company’s ability to generate taxable profits, and adjusted as necessary. Due to the nature of factors affecting taxable profit, it is not practicable to provide meaningful sensitivity analyses. Refer to Note 4, “Significant Events in the Reporting Period” for further details about the impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements.

Note 4—Significant Events in the Reporting Period

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company has recognized deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward and other deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that management assesses it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these assets can be utilized. Refer to Note 3, “Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates” for further details. The deferred tax assets related to future use of tax losses can be carried forward without timing limitations.

Income taxes are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss with the following amounts:

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had tax losses carried forward with a gross amount of €1,954.6 million.

Share Repurchase Program

On January 9, 2026, the Company announced that the Board had authorized a $120 million share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Purchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other methods permitted under applicable securities laws. The Share Repurchase Program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without notice.

F-8

In March 2026, the Company repurchased 254,027 of its ordinary shares for a total consideration of $60.0 million with an average price of $236.35 under the Share Repurchase Program, with $60.0 million remaining for future repurchases as of March 31, 2026. The repurchased shares are held by the Company as treasury shares and presented as a deduction within equity.

The holding of treasury shares is disclosed in Note 10, “Treasury Shares.”

As of March 31, 2026, the Board is authorized by the shareholders to repurchase up to 2,471,988 of the Company’s ADSs or ordinary shares.

U.S. Regulatory Approval of YUVIWEL® (navepegritide; developed as TransCon® CNP)

On February 27, 2026, the Company announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) has granted approval under the FDA’s Accelerated Approval Program for YUVIWEL® (navepegritide; developed as TransCon® CNP), the first and only once-weekly treatment indicated to increase linear growth in children 2 years of age and older with achondroplasia with open epiphyses and the only one to provide continuous systemic exposure to C-type natriuretic peptide (“CNP”) over the weekly dosing interval.

Inventory

As a result of obtaining marketing approval for YUVIWEL, the Company reversed prior period write-downs related to pre-launch inventories through research and development expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the reversal had a positive impact of €10.9 million on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss.

Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”)

With the approval, the FDA issued a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”), which confers priority review to a subsequent drug application that would not otherwise qualify for priority review. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company entered into agreement to sell the PRV. Refer to Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for further details.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 outstanding warrants, restricted stock units and performance stock units can potentially dilute earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, only a portion were dilutive, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 none had a dilutive impact. Similarly, 575,000 convertible senior notes which can potentially be converted into 3,456,785 ordinary shares, can potentially dilute earnings per share in the future but have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive for the periods presented. Refer to Note 8, “Share-based Payment” and Note 11, “Financial Assets and Liabilities,” for further information about the share-based incentive programs and convertible notes, respectively.

Note 7—Segment Information

The Company is managed and operated as one business unit. Accordingly, no additional information on business segments or geographical areas is disclosed apart from revenue by geographical areas as disclosed in Note 5 “Revenue.” Revenue is specified on geographical areas according to the location of the customer.

Note 8—Share-based Payment

As an incentive to the senior management, other employees, members of the Board and select consultants, Ascendis Pharma A/S has established warrant programs, a Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) program adopted in December 2021, and a Performance Stock Unit (“PSU”) program adopted in February 2023, which are all classified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

Share-based Compensation Costs

Share-based compensation costs are determined using the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period as research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, or cost of sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, share-based compensation costs recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss were €30.4 million and €25.6 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Unit Program

RSUs are granted by the Board to members of senior management, other employees and members of the Board (the “RSU-holders”), as stipulated in the program. In addition, RSUs may be granted to select consultants.

One RSU represents a right for the RSU-holder to receive one ADS or one ordinary share of Ascendis Pharma A/S upon vesting, if the vesting conditions are met. RSUs granted vest over three years with 1/3 of the RSUs vesting on each anniversary date from the date of grant, and require RSU-holders to be employed, appointed as a member of the Board, or retained as a consultant (the “service conditions”).

Performance Stock Unit Program

PSUs are granted by the Board to certain members of senior management (the “PSU-holders”), as stipulated in the program. In addition, PSUs may be granted to other employees, select consultants and members of the Board.

F-11

One PSU represents a right for the PSU-holder to receive one ADS or one ordinary share of Ascendis Pharma A/S upon vesting. PSUs vest in a manner similar to the service conditions of the RSUs. In addition to service conditions, vesting is also contingent upon achievement of long-term strategic goals as evaluated by the Board no later than two weeks prior to each vesting date. Exceeding performance targets will not result in vesting of more than 100% of the PSUs granted, nor will it result in additional grants.

Borrowings

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2022, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $575 million of fixed rate 2.25% convertible notes. The net proceeds from the offering of the convertible notes were $557.9 million (€503.3 million) after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The convertible notes rank equally in right of payment with all future senior unsecured indebtedness. Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the convertible notes will mature on April 1, 2028.

F-13

The convertible notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, noteholders may convert their convertible notes at their option into the Company’s ordinary shares represented by ADSs, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional ADS, at the then-applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is 6.0118 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, which represents an initial conversion price of $166.34 per ADS. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.

The convertible notes are optionally redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 7, 2025, but only if the last reported sale price per ADS exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related optional redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice.

As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amount of the convertible notes was €448.2 million, and the fair value was €448.4 million. Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or other observable inputs, and accordingly the fair value was, from and including December 31, 2025, measured by using the last reported sale price. Prior to December 2025, the fair value was measured by using an estimated market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument.

On May 6, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced optional redemption process in respect of all of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 2.25% convertible notes due 2028. Refer to Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for further details.

Royalty Funding Liabilities

The Company has entered into capped synthetic royalty funding agreements with Royalty Pharma (the “Purchaser”), which is presented as part of borrowings, and represents the Company’s contractual obligations to pay a predetermined percentage of future commercial revenue until reaching a predetermined multiple of proceeds received, according to the detailed provisions of the synthetic royalty funding agreements.

As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amount of the royalty funding liabilities was €298.1 million, and the fair value was €302.7 million. Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or other observable inputs, and accordingly the fair value was measured by using an estimated market rate for an equivalent instrument.

YORVIPATH Agreement

In September 2024, the Company entered into a $150.0 million capped synthetic royalty funding agreement (the “Royalty Pharma Yorvipath Agreement”) with the Purchaser. The net proceeds were $148.2 million (€134.2 million) after deducting offering expenses.

Under the terms of the Royalty Pharma Yorvipath Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $150.0 million (the “Yorvipath Purchase Price”) in exchange for a 3% royalty on net revenue from sales of YORVIPATH in the U.S. (the “Yorvipath Revenue Payments”). The Yorvipath Revenue Payments to the Purchaser will cease upon reaching a multiple of the Yorvipath Purchase Price of 2.0 times, or 1.65 times if the Purchaser receives Yorvipath Revenue Payments in that amount by December 31, 2029.

The Royalty Pharma Yorvipath Agreement includes a buy-out option, which provides the Company with the right to settle all outstanding liabilities at any time by paying a buy-out amount equal to 2.0 times the Yorvipath Purchase Price minus the Yorvipath Revenue Payments paid to the Purchaser as of the effective date of the buy-out notice. However, if the buy-out notice is provided on or prior to September 30, 2028, and the Company has paid the Purchaser Yorvipath Revenue Payments equal to the Yorvipath Purchase Price as of the date of the buy-out notice, then the buy-out amount is equal to 1.65 times the Yorvipath Purchase Price minus the Yorvipath Revenue Payments paid to the Purchaser as of the effective date of the buy-out notice.

SKYTROFA Agreement

In September 2023, the Company entered into a $150.0 million capped synthetic royalty funding agreement (the “Royalty Pharma Skytrofa Agreement”) with the Purchaser. The net proceeds were $146.3 million (€136.3 million) after deducting offering expenses.

Under the terms of the Royalty Pharma Skytrofa Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $150.0 million (the “Skytrofa Purchase Price”) in exchange for a 9.15% royalty on net revenue from sales of SKYTROFA in the U.S., beginning on January 1, 2025 (the “Skytrofa Revenue Payments”). The Skytrofa Revenue Payments to the Purchaser will cease upon reaching a multiple of the Skytrofa Purchase Price of 1.925 times, or 1.65 times if the Purchaser receives Skytrofa Revenue Payments in that amount by December 31, 2031.

F-14

The Royalty Pharma Skytrofa Agreement includes a buy-out option, which provides the Company with the right to settle all outstanding liabilities at any time by paying a buy-out amount equal to 1.925 times the Skytrofa Purchase Price minus the Skytrofa Revenue Payments paid to the Purchaser as of the effective date of the buy-out notice. However, if the buy-out notice is provided on or prior to December 31, 2028, and the Company has paid the Purchaser Skytrofa Revenue Payments equal to the Skytrofa Purchase Price as of the date of the buy-out notice, then the buy-out amount is equal to 1.65 times the Skytrofa Purchase Price minus the Skytrofa Revenue Payments paid to the Purchaser as of the effective date of the buy-out notice.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative liabilities relate to the foreign currency conversion option embedded in the convertible notes.

Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or other observable inputs, and accordingly, derivative liabilities are measured by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Fair value of the option is calculated, applying the following assumptions: (1) conversion price; (2) the Company’s share price; (3) maturity of the option; (4) a risk-free interest rate equaling the effective interest rate on a U.S. government bond with the same lifetime as the maturity of the option; (5) an expected dividend yield of zero; and (6) an expected volatility using the Company’s share price (48.6% and 48.9% as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively).

For additional description of fair values, refer to the following section “Fair Value Measurement.”

Sensitivity Analysis

As of March 31, 2026, all other inputs and assumptions held constant, a 10% relative increase in volatility, will increase the fair value of derivative liabilities by €12.5 million and indicates a decrease in profit or loss and equity before tax. Similarly, a 10% relative decrease in volatility indicates the opposite impact.

Similarly, as of March 31, 2026, all other inputs and assumptions held constant, a 10% increase in the share price, will increase the fair value of derivative liabilities by €57.6 million and indicates a decrease in profit or loss and equity before tax. Similarly, a 10% decrease in the share price indicates the opposite impact.

Fair Value Measurement

Because of the short-term maturity for cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade payables, their fair value approximates carrying amount. Fair value of lease liabilities is not disclosed. Fair value compared to carrying amount of convertible notes, royalty funding liabilities and derivative liabilities, and their level in the fair value hierarchy is summarized in the following table, where:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Note 12—Subsequent Events

Nasdaq Listing of Ordinary Shares

On April 20, 2026, the Company completed a mandatory exchange of all outstanding ADSs for ordinary shares resulting in the Company’s ordinary shares being listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The direct listing and the exchange of ADSs for ordinary shares are not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than presentational changes reflecting the elimination of the ADS structure and corresponding updates to the related disclosures regarding share-based payment arrangements and convertible notes. Accordingly, no amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted following the direct listing of ordinary shares.

Redemption of $575 Million of Outstanding 2.25% Convertible Notes (Due April 2028)

On May 6, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced optional redemption process in respect of all of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 2.25% convertible notes due 2028. Within the redemption period, all holders of the convertible notes surrendered their notes for conversion, where upon the Company delivered 3,635,813 ordinary shares, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The conversion resulted in the settlement of the current liabilities of convertible notes, comprising borrowings and derivative liabilities totaling €733.1 million as of March 31, 2026. The carrying amount as of the settlement date was reclassified to equity in the second quarter of 2026. The conversion had no impact on profit or loss.

Sale of Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher

On May 6, 2026, the Company entered into agreement to sell its Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”) to an undisclosed buyer for $187.5 million. The PRV was awarded by the FDA upon approval of YUVIWEL in February 2026. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026. The income from sale of the PRV, net of transaction costs is expected to be recognized in the second quarter of 2026.

No other events have occurred after the balance sheet date that would influence the evaluation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Ascendis Approach to Patient Centric Drug Design

When we apply our TransCon technologies to clinically validated parent drugs or pathways, we may benefit from established clinical safety and efficacy data, which we believe increases the probability of success compared to traditional drug development. As illustrated above, our algorithm for product innovation focuses on identifying indications that have an unmet medical need, have a clinically validated parent drug or pathway, are suitable to our TransCon technologies, have potential for creating a clearly differentiated product, have a potential established development pathway, and have the potential to address a large market. When the indication is identified we make use of patient centric drug design to optimally apply our TransCon technologies to address the unmet medical need.

Program Summaries

We currently have three marketed products; YORVIPATH, YUVIWEL and SKYTROFA and a diversified portfolio consisting of four product candidates in clinical development in the areas of Endocrinology Rare Disease and Oncology. One of the four product candidates, TransCon CNP (navepegritide), is currently under review in the European Union for the treatment of children with achondroplasia. In the second quarter of 2026, we announced our decision to discontinue internal development of our Oncology product candidate and to instead pursue strategic alternatives intended to maximize its value. Additionally, we are working to apply our TransCon technology platform in additional therapeutic areas such as metabolic diseases, where we believe we have designed a potentially best-in-class, once-monthly glucagon-like peptide 1 (“GLP-1”) product.

•
YORVIPATH® (palopegteriparatide), was developed as TransCon PTH and was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”), and authorized by the European Commission (“EC”) and other regulatory agencies for the treatment of adults with hypoparathyroidism. In the European Union (“EU”), YORVIPATH is commercially available for prescription in our Europe Direct and International Markets, and is also available in other countries through named patient programs. In the United States, YORVIPATH has been commercially available for prescription since December 2024. In Japan, YORVIPATH has been commercially available for prescription since November 2025, through our partner Teijin Limited (“Teijin”). YORVIPATH has also been authorized by other regulatory authorities globally.
•
YUVIWEL® (navepegritide) was developed as TransCon CNP and approved by the U.S. FDA as a once-weekly treatment indicated to increase linear growth in children 2 years of age and older with achondroplasia with open growth plates (epiphyses). In the United States, YUVIWEL has been commercially available for prescription since April 2026. We also plan to make YUVIWEL available in certain International Markets through named patient programs. In the EU, a Marketing Authorisation Application (“MAA”) is under review with a decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
•
SKYTROFA® (lonapegsomatropin-tcgd) was developed as TransCon hGH and approved by the FDA for the treatment of pediatric patients one year and older who weigh at least 11.5 kg and have growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone, also known as growth hormone deficiency (“GHD”) and for the replacement of endogenous growth hormone in adults with GHD. SKYTROFA has been commercially available for prescription in the United States since October 2021. In addition, the EC has authorized SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin) in the EU for the treatment of children and adolescents (3 – 18 years) with growth failure due to GHD. In the EU, SKYTROFA has been commercially available for prescription in Germany since September 2023. SKYTROFA has also been authorized by other regulatory authorities globally including in China through our strategic collaboration partner, VISEN Pharmaceuticals (“VISEN”) in January 2026.

Endocrinology Rare Disease Pipeline – Three product candidates in our Endocrinology Rare Disease portfolio are currently in development for additional indications and geographies. These product candidates are TransCon hGH (lonapegsomatropin) for children with Turner syndrome, TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) for adolescents with hypoparathyroidism, and TransCon CNP (navepegritide) for infants, children, and adolescents with achondroplasia. We are also investigating the combination of TransCon CNP and TransCon hGH in children with achondroplasia and other indications. In addition, we are investigating TransCon hGH in other established daily growth hormone indications and TransCon CNP, alone and in combination with TransCon hGH, for the treatment of children with hypochondroplasia, a related FGFR3-driven skeletal dysplasia. Through our strategic collaboration, Teijin is developing and, if approved, plans to commercialize TransCon hGH, and TransCon CNP for endocrinology rare diseases in Japan. In addition, VISEN is developing and, if approved, plans to commercialize TransCon PTH, and TransCon CNP for endocrinology rare diseases in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (“Greater China”).
•
Oncology Pipeline – In Oncology, we are leveraging our TransCon technologies with the goal of enhancing the anti-tumor effects of clinically-validated parent drugs and pathways and to provide sustained modulation of tumor microenvironments and activate cytotoxic immune cells. We initiated clinical development of two programs: TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist, an investigational, long-acting prodrug of resiquimod, a small molecule agonist of Toll-like receptors (“TLR”) 7 and 8, for intratumoral delivery, and TransCon IL-2 b/g (onvapegleukin alfa) for systemic delivery, which is designed for prolonged exposure to an IL-2 variant that selectively activates IL-2 b/g with minimal binding to IL-2Rα. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we closed enrollment in our BelieveIT-201 clinical trial and to dose expansion cohorts involving TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist in the transcendIT-101 and IL-Believe trials. In the second quarter of 2026, we announced our decision to discontinue internal development of our oncology program and to instead pursue strategic alternatives intended to maximize the value of this asset.

We maintain an intellectual property portfolio comprising over 465 granted patents and over 625 patent applications as of December 31, 2025, which includes patents and patent applications applicable to our products and product candidates with claims directed to composition of matter, process, formulation and/or methods-of-use for our products and product candidates, including a product-specific device and core TransCon technologies. While our TransCon prodrugs may incorporate already approved parent drugs or product candidates, TransCon hGH, TransCon PTH, TransCon CNP, and each of our other product candidates are new molecular entities and therefore eligible to be granted new intellectual property rights, including new composition of matter patents.

Global Commercialization Strategy

We are establishing a global presence to commercialize TransCon products, where approved, to address patients’ unmet medical needs.

In the U.S., we have established an integrated organization to commercialize our approved Endocrinology Rare Disease products, YORVIPATH, YUVIWEL and SKYTROFA. Our U.S. organization includes various departments, including sales, market access, patient support, and medical affairs teams. The sales team engages with healthcare providers to present products, usage, and safety guidelines in accordance with the label. Our market access team engages with health authorities, insurance companies, and payers to support patients in need of gaining access to our products. Our patient support team facilitates reimbursement support and out-of-pocket assistance and provides educational resources and product training. Our medical affairs team engages in scientific exchange with the physician and medical community. We have also established a network of specialty pharmacies to support product distribution.

In Europe, we have established our presence by building integrated organizations to commercialize our approved Endocrinology Rare Disease products in select countries, which we call “Europe Direct.”

Beyond the U.S. and Europe Direct, we are expanding global reach for our Endocrinology Rare Disease products through exclusive sales and distribution agreements with geographic market leaders, which we call “International Markets.” As of March 31, 2026, we have agreements covering over 75 countries.

Finally, we are making our Endocrinology Rare Disease products commercially available in China and Japan under exclusive license agreements with partners with local development and commercialization expertise and infrastructure, which we call strategic collaborations. In Japan, Teijin has exclusive license rights to develop and commercialize TransCon hGH, TransCon PTH, and TransCon CNP. In Greater China, VISEN has exclusive license rights to develop and commercialize TransCon hGH, TransCon PTH, and TransCon CNP.

Demand for our products has not been subject to material seasonal changes.

On April 2, 2025, an executive order was issued in the United States imposing “reciprocal tariffs” under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), including a 10% baseline tariff and higher country-specific rates for certain trading partners. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the U.S. president to impose tariffs, invalidating the IEEPA tariffs. The U.S. administration then imposed a temporary 10% import surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 for up to 150 days unless extended by U.S. Congress, although pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients were excluded, and on April 2, 2026 announced Section 232 tariff measures on certain patented pharmaceutical products and ingredients that are scheduled to take effect later in 2026. As the scope, applicability and duration of current and future tariff measures remain uncertain, we continue to monitor and assess the potential impact of existing and potential tariffs on our operations.

TransCon Technologies

Overview

Our TransCon technologies are designed to combine the benefits of conventional prodrug and sustained release technologies to solve the fundamental limitations seen in other approaches to extending duration of a drug’s action in the body, with the goal of developing highly differentiated product candidates based on efficacy, safety, tolerability, and convenience. In addition to retaining the original mode of action of the parent drug and potentially supporting dosing frequency from daily up to six months or more, we believe that predictable release over time can improve treatment safety and efficacy, increase the likelihood of clinical development success, and provide intellectual property benefits.

TransCon prodrugs can have up to three components: a parent drug, an inert TransCon carrier that protects it, and a TransCon linker that temporarily binds the two. When bound in prodrug form, the carrier inactivates the parent drug and shields it from receptor uptake, renal clearance, and enzymatic degradation. When injected into the body, physiologic pH and temperature conditions initiate sustained release of the active, unmodified parent drug at a predictable rate.

Depending upon the type of TransCon carrier we employ, we can design our TransCon prodrugs for sustained localized or systemic delivery.

TransCon Technology Components

TransCon Carriers

Our TransCon technologies incorporate three carrier platforms that can be used to provide sustained localized or systemic drug exposure. These biocompatible carrier platforms include our TransCon systemic carriers and TransCon localized carriers (self-eliminating hydrogels). Our carriers inactivate and protect the drug through a shielding effect, which may prevent rapid excretion and degradation of the parent drug and enable benefits that include improved injection site tolerability, reduced systemic adverse effects, and low immunogenicity.

•
Systemic – Our TransCon systemic carriers are used to provide systemic drug exposure and are based on soluble compounds such as methoxypolyethylene glycol (“mPEG”) or other natural or synthetic polymers, as well as our albumin avidity approach, where 2 or more albumin binding moieties are incorporated into the drug molecule to facilitate sustained exposure. Prodrugs created using our systemic carriers are readily absorbed into the bloodstream after administration, thus minimizing exposure of the subcutaneous tissue to active drug, which we believe may improve injection site tolerability. TransCon hGH, TransCon PTH, and TransCon CNP utilize mPEG as a carrier molecule. mPEG is widely used to improve the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic properties of marketed therapeutics. Below is an illustration of our systemic carrier:

•
Localized – Our TransCon localized carriers include TransCon hydrogels based on PEG, hyaluronic acid, or other biopolymers. TransCon hydrogel is designed to self-eliminate to soluble, biocompatible molecules after the drug payload has been released. When applied for localized delivery, the TransCon hydrogel enables the release of a parent drug at high local concentrations within the target area while minimizing systemic exposure. We believe this may widen the therapeutic window for parent drugs that suffer from significant systemic side effects and toxicities, facilitating the development of highly efficacious product candidates with improved safety and tolerability profiles. Below is an illustration of our hydrogel carrier:

TransCon Linkers

Our reversible TransCon linkers are designed to enable the transient conjugation of a broad range of therapeutics, including proteins, peptides, and small molecules, to our TransCon carriers. We have a large library of TransCon linkers that may be applicable to various types of parent drugs, and that can be tailored to potentially achieve half-life extension enabling daily, weekly, monthly, and half-yearly dosing and to customize the potential pharmacokinetic profile for each individual product candidate with the goal of optimizing the potential therapeutic effect. TransCon linkers are self-cleaving through a process called intra-molecular assisted cleavage, which causes the linker to release the unmodified parent drug. We can tailor the release properties of the linker to a given therapeutic indication and parent drug by modifying the linker structures. We believe the self-cleaving process of our linker avoids many of the shortcomings of conventional prodrug technologies, which often depend on metabolic processes, such as enzymatic degradation, to convert the prodrug into the active drug. The rate of metabolic conversion of prodrugs in these types of processes may differ between patients, and even within different tissues in the same patient. As a result, conventional prodrugs do not always offer predictable release of the parent drug. Our TransCon linkers are designed to predictably release an unmodified active parent drug at predetermined rates governed by physiological pH and temperature conditions, which are tightly regulated in the body. Consequently, we believe we can design our prodrugs to release the unmodified parent drug at predictable rates.

Parent Drugs

Our TransCon technologies are applicable across a broad range of therapeutic classes and are currently used to create long-acting product candidates with best-in-class potential based on proteins, peptides, and small molecules. By primarily focusing on biological targets that have been clinically validated, we can leverage available knowledge regarding a target’s activity. Based on this selective approach, we know what drug levels must be maintained in the body for optimal efficacy and safety, and we can design the release half-life and dosing frequency of our TransCon prodrugs to maintain these levels to achieve the desired pharmacological effect. We move a product candidate into development after it demonstrates the desired profile in non-clinical models. Furthermore, based on the established translational relationships between preclinical animal models and clinical efficacy, we believe experimental results generated in animal models are highly predictive of clinical results and reduce the development risk for our TransCon prodrugs. This strategy is designed to reduce risk and increase productivity.

This approach has enabled us to develop three approved products and generate a pipeline of product candidates designed to address significant unmet medical needs. Because our TransCon technologies leverage clinically validated parent drugs or pathways, we believe we may benefit from a higher development and regulatory success rate compared to development of drug compounds without established biology.

TransCon Products and Product Candidates - Endocrinology Rare Disease

Hypoparathyroidism

Overview of Hypoparathyroidism

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disease caused by insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone (“PTH”). As reported in a 2016 paper by Clarke BL, et al. (J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2016 Jun;101(6):2284-99), most patients with hypoparathyroidism (70-80% of cases) develop the disease following damage to or accidental removal of the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. Other etiologies include autoimmune disorders, genetic disorders such as autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1, and idiopathic causes. Conventional therapy with oral calcium and active vitamin D (also called calcitriol) does not effectively address the short-term symptoms, long-term complications, or quality-of-life impacts of hypoparathyroidism.

Individuals with hypoparathyroidism may experience a range of severe and potentially life-threatening short-term and long-term complications. Short-term symptoms of hypoparathyroidism include weakness; severe muscle cramps (tetany); abnormal sensations such as tingling, burning, and numbness (paresthesia); memory loss; impaired judgment; and headache. A survey published by Hadker et al. (Endocrine Pr. 20(7), 671–679), in 2014 of 374 individuals with hypoparathyroidism showed that 72% experienced more than ten symptoms in the preceding twelve months, with symptoms experienced for a mean of 13 ± 9 hours a day. Prolonged use of conventional therapy may increase the risk of major complications, such as calcium deposits in the brain, blood vessels, eyes, and soft tissues. According to a systematic review by Gosmanova et al. published in 2021, chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with conventional therapy is associated with higher rates of renal complications compared to the general population, including nephrolithiasis (up to 36%), nephrocalcinosis (up to 38%), and chronic kidney disease (up to 41%). Studies have found that the burden of hypoparathyroidism negatively impacts health-related quality of life (“QoL”), physical functioning, and psychological well-being. Compared with an age-matched general population sample, individuals with hypoparathyroidism have reported markedly lower health-related QoL, irrespective of serum calcium level, as measured by the physical (P<0.001) and mental (P<0.001) component scores of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) as well as the EuroQol-5 Dimensions Visual Analogue Scale. As reported in a 2021 paper by Brod et al. (Qual of Life Res. 2021 Jan; 30(1):277-291), in interviews conducted on 42 individuals with hypoparathyroidism, 98% reported reduced functioning and well-being, including anxiety (81%), feeling sad or depressed (62%), and feeling irritable or short-tempered (43%) despite management with conventional therapy.

Hypoparathyroidism also imposes a substantial burden on the healthcare system despite the use of conventional therapy. For example, individuals with hypoparathyroidism may require hospitalizations or emergency department visits due to acute severe hypocalcemia (calcium crashes) and those with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism have an increased risk of hospitalization due to infection than age- and sex-matched controls from the general population. Individuals with hypoparathyroidism also have an increased risk of hospitalization due to renal complications, such as chronic kidney disease and renal failure, compared to age- and sex-matched controls. According to a retrospective review (Chen K, et al. J Med Econ. Nov 2019;22(11):1141-1152), published in 2019 of clinical burden and healthcare resource utilization showed that 90.7% of individuals had ≥1 hypoparathyroidism-related healthcare utilization event during a 12-month period, including 87.8% with ≥1 outpatient visit, 41% with ≥1 emergency department visit, and 19.5% with ≥1 hospitalization. The management of hypoparathyroidism is also associated with substantial economic burdens and consequences of hypoparathyroidism may negatively impact employment status and work productivity.

9

The 2022 Guidelines from the Second International Workshop addressing the prevention, diagnosis, and management of hypoparathyroidism were published in September 2022 in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research and authored by leading clinicians from North America, Europe, and Asia. The authors suggest consideration of PTH replacement therapy in patients whose hypoparathyroidism is inadequately controlled with conventional therapy. Inadequate control is considered to be any one of the following: symptomatic hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, renal insufficiency, hypercalciuria, or poor quality of life. In addition, the guideline indicates that individuals with poor compliance, malabsorption, or intolerant of large doses of calcium and active vitamin D may also benefit from PTH replacement therapy. Based on this current guideline, we believe PTH replacement therapy could be applicable to most patients with hypoparathyroidism.

Other companies and groups are developing therapies for hypoparathyroidism at the clinical stage, including Calcilytix (a BridgeBio company), Entera Bio/Opko Health, Extend Biosciences, AstraZeneca, MBX Biosciences, and Septerna.

Forteo® (teriparatide, PTH [1-34]), approved since 2002 for the treatment of osteoporosis, has sometimes been used for treatment of hypoparathyroidism using multiple daily injections, despite not being approved for this indication. Clinical research conducted by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in subjects receiving continuous exposure to PTH (1-34), administered by an infusion pump, demonstrated simultaneous normalization of serum calcium and urinary calcium, as well as normalization of bone turnover.

We estimate hypoparathyroidism affects more than 250,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe. In the U.S., we estimate hypoparathyroidism affects approximately 70,000 to 90,000 patients, including 4,000 to 5,000 patients who we estimate have previously been treated with PTH therapy. In Germany, we estimate hypoparathyroidism affects approximately 70,000 patients. Outside of Germany, we estimate hypoparathyroidism affects more than 100,000 patients in the rest of Europe.

TransCon PTH

TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) is a prodrug of PTH (1-34) that is administered once-daily to achieve and maintain a steady concentration of PTH in the bloodstream within the physiological range. TransCon PTH is designed to provide PTH in the physiological range for 24 hours per day, thereby more fully addressing aspects of the disease, including maintaining normal serum calcium and phosphate levels and normalizing urinary calcium.

TransCon PTH for the Treatment of Hypoparathyroidism

In November 2025, Teijin announced that YORVIPATH is commercially available for prescription.

In August 2024, the FDA approved YORVIPATH (palopegteriparatide; developed as TransCon PTH) for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults. In September 2024, the FDA granted Orphan Drug exclusivity to YORVIPATH, providing seven years of market exclusivity for YORVIPATH in the United States for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults. YORVIPATH has been commercially available for prescription since late December 2024 in the United States.

In April 2024, TransCon PTH received regulatory approval in Great Britain as a PTH replacement therapy indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism. In addition, in April 2024, we announced that the United Kingdom’s Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency granted YORVIPATH Orphan Drug status.

In January 2024, we announced commercial availability of YORVIPATH in Germany and Austria, and we began shipping to customers in February 2024.

In November 2023, TransCon PTH received regulatory approval in the EU and European Economic Area and is marketed as YORVIPATH (palopegteriparatide), a parathyroid hormone replacement therapy indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism. In addition, YORVIPATH was granted Orphan status in the EU in November 2023 and provides ten years of market exclusivity.

In July 2021, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan granted Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) to TransCon PTH for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism.

Clinical Development of TransCon PTH for Treatment of Hypoparathyroidism in Adults

TransCon PTH was evaluated for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism in adults in the Phase 3 PaTHway Trial, Phase 3 PaTHway Japan Trial (open label extension ongoing), and the Phase 2 PaTH Forward Trial.

The PaTHway Trial completed with 73 of 82 patients originally enrolled and dosed completing the 3.5-year trial. Nine patients withdrew from the trial for reasons unrelated to safety.

10

The PaTH Forward Trial recently completed with 56 patients out of 59 patients originally enrolled and dosed completing the five-year trial. Three patients withdrew from the trial for reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy of the study drug.

In November 2025, we presented a new pooled analysis showing sustained and clinically meaningful improvements in renal function in adults with hypoparathyroidism treated with TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) through Year 3 of our Phase 2 PaTH Forward and Phase 3 PaTHway trials.

The trials included a combined 141 adults with hypoparathyroidism, 139 of whom (mean age 49 years) are represented in the pooled analysis. The PaTH Forward and PaTHway trials comprised randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled periods through Weeks 4 and 26 and open-label extension periods through Weeks 266 and 182, respectively. An eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 was required for trial eligibility. The three-year data were analyzed post-hoc and included evaluation of the long-term impact of TransCon PTH on renal function as assessed by eGFR. Mean (SD) baseline eGFR in the trials was 69 (17) mL/min/1.73 m2. The pooled analysis included 41 patients with baseline eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 98 patients with baseline ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Safety assessments included 24-hour urine calcium excretion and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).

At Year 3, ≥91% of patients receiving palopegteriparatide in both trials were independent from conventional therapy (defined as taking no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/day of calcium) and ≥84% patients had normocalcemia (8.3-10.6 mg/dL). Sustained and clinically meaningful improvements in eGFR (≥5 mL/ min / 1.73 m2) were observed in 70.3%, with numerically greater improvements observed in those with lower baseline eGFR. The greatest increases in eGFR were observed in the first 6 months of treatment with TransCon PTH, with a continued upward trend thereafter. Mean (SD) eGFR increased from baseline to Year 3 by 9.8 (10.9) mL/min/1.73 m2 in PaTH Forward and by 8.8 (11.9) mL/min/1.73 m2 in PaTHway.

In July 2025, we announced new data from Week 156 of our Phase 3 PaTHway Trial, confirming that long-term treatment with TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) continued to provide a durable response in adults with hypoparathyroidism regardless of its cause (post-surgical, autoimmune, genetic, or idiopathic), including improvements in biochemistries, kidney function, and quality of life. At Week 156, 64 patients (88%) had normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels and 70 patients (96%) were independent from conventional therapy (defined as taking ≤ 600 mg/day of calcium and not taking active vitamin D). Reflecting clinically meaningful improvements in kidney function, improvements in eGFR from baseline were sustained through Week 156: mean eGFR increased by 8.76 mL/min/1.73 m2 across all participants and by 13.98 mL/min/1.73 m2 in participants with baseline eGFR < 60. Patients in the trial reported continued improvements from baseline in their hypoparathyroidism-related symptoms and health-related QOL and showed continued normalization of 24-hour urine calcium excretion through Week 156. In the trial, TransCon PTH treatment was generally well-tolerated, with no new safety signals identified. TEAEs were mostly mild or moderate and no serious TEAEs or discontinuations were related to study drug.

In May 2025, we announced four-year (Week 214) results from our Phase 2 PaTH Forward Trial showing that long-term treatment with TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) continued to provide a durable response in adults with hypoparathyroidism. At Week 214, nearly all patients (98%) continued to have normal albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels and 93% remained independent from conventional therapy (defined as taking ≤ 600 mg/day of calcium and not taking active vitamin D). Bone turnover markers CTx and P1NP increased from the low end of normal at baseline, peaked by Week 26, then declined and remained stable above baseline levels through Week 214. The data also showed continued improvement in skeletal dynamics, with bone mineral density remaining within age- and sex-matched norms. In addition, at Week 214, most participants (67.8%) had a clinically meaningful (≥ 5 mL/min/1.73 m2) increase in eGFR from baseline, with changes in eGFR evident at Week 4. In the trial, TransCon PTH treatment was generally well-tolerated, with no new safety signals identified. TEAEs were mostly mild or moderate and no serious TEAEs or discontinuations were related to study drug.

In September 2024, we announced results from the Phase 2 PaTH Forward Trial of adults with hypoparathyroidism showing that long-term treatment with TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide; marketed as YORVIPATH) through Week 162 drove bone remodeling into the normal range. Deficiency of PTH is associated with low rates of bone remodeling, accumulation of overly mature bone, and higher-than-average bone mineral density that may correspond with poorer overall bone quality compared to that seen in the general population. In contrast, these results suggest that long-term palopegteriparatide treatment promotes attainment of skeletal health parameters in line with those expected with states of parathyroid sufficiency.

In May 2024, we announced two-year (Week 104) results from a post-hoc analysis of the Phase 3 PaTHway Trial demonstrating sustained improvements (nominal p-value <0.05) in renal function in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism treated with TransCon PTH. The post-hoc analysis examined the impact of treatment with TransCon PTH on renal function using estimated glomerular filtration rate (“eGFR”) through Week 104 (n=76) of PaTHway, a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 82 dosed adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism randomized 3:1 (TransCon PTH: placebo; both arms initially co-administered with conventional therapy of active vitamin D and calcium), with a 26-week blinded period followed by an ongoing 156-week open-label extension period. Across both treatment arms, TransCon PTH treatment resulted in a mean eGFR increase of 8.9 mL/min/1.73m2 (p<0.0001) from baseline at Week 52, sustained at Week 104 with a mean change from baseline of 9.0 mL/min/1.73m2 (p<0.0001). Treatment was generally well-tolerated, with no new safety signals.

On January 8, 2023, we announced top-line data from PaTHway Japan, a single-arm Phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TransCon PTH in adults with hypoparathyroidism. The study achieved its primary objective, with top-line results consistent with our trials in North America and the EU. Twelve out of thirteen patients met the primary multi-component endpoint, which was defined as serum calcium levels in the normal range (8.3–10.6 mg/dL) and independence from conventional therapy (no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/day of calcium). In this trial, TransCon PTH was generally well-tolerated, with no discontinuations related to study drug. The open-label extension (“OLE”) of this trial has been extended, and all patients have transitioned into the Investigational Medical Product supply period designed to ensure continuous treatment through the launch of YORVIPATH in Japan. In November 2025, Teijin announced that YORVIPATH is commercially available for prescription.

In March 2022, we announced that top-line data from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled portion of the Phase 3 PaTHway Trial of TransCon PTH in adults with hypoparathyroidism demonstrated statistically significant higher proportion of participants treated with TransCon PTH achieved the primary multi-component endpoint compared to placebo. The primary endpoint, defined as serum calcium levels in the normal range (8.3–10.6 mg/dL) and independence from conventional therapy (no active vitamin D and ≤600 mg/day of calcium) with no increase in prescribed study drug within the 4 weeks prior to the Week 26 visit, was achieved by 78.7% of TransCon PTH-treated patients (48 of 61), compared to 4.8% for patients (1 of 21) in control group (p-value <0.0001). In addition, all key pre-specified secondary endpoints were met with statistical significance. TransCon PTH was generally well tolerated, with no discontinuations related to study drug. Three patients discontinued during the treatment period, two from the placebo arm and one from the TransCon PTH arm. TransCon PTH-treated patients showed a mean decrease in 24-hour urine calcium excretion into the normal range.

Growth Disorders

Market Opportunity for Recombinant Human Growth Hormone

GHD is a serious rare disease that affects both children and adults. Children with GHD are characterized by short stature, metabolic and cardiovascular abnormalities, cognitive deficiencies, and poor quality of life. GHD in adults is associated with increased adiposity, or fat mass, as well as psychiatric-cognitive, cardiovascular, muscular, metabolic and skeletal abnormalities. In childhood and adolescence, growth hormone plays an essential role in normal longitudinal growth, muscle and bone strength, and distribution of body fat. In adults, growth hormone contributes to body composition, cardiovascular function, and bone health. The current standard of care for GHD has been daily subcutaneous injections of somatropin, a recombinant human growth hormone (“hGH”). These daily hGH therapies have been shown to be safe and well-tolerated.

12

In both therapy-compliant children and adults with GHD, daily subcutaneous injections of hGH have resulted in improved body composition parameters, bone density, cardiovascular outcomes, and quality of life. Growth hormone-deficient children who are fully adherent to their daily hGH treatment regimen may achieve a height in adulthood that is comparable to that of their family members and national norms.

Despite the demonstrated benefits of daily hGH therapy, many GHD patients are not adequately treated, and adherence continues to be a challenge, as reported in a 2021 paper published by Kaplowitz et al. (J Manag Care Spec Pharm. 2021; 27(8):1118-1128). The observational retrospective cohort analysis utilized administrative claims data from two databases on more than 20,000 pediatric patients diagnosed with GHD. Approximately 68% of commercial patients and approximately 63% of Medicaid patients received daily growth hormone treatment, whereas approximately 32% of commercial patients and approximately 37% of Medicaid patients were untreated. In addition, mean adherence as measured by proportions of days covered, which is defined as the number of days covered by any daily growth hormone prescription during the follow-up period, was approximately 60% in the commercial cohort and approximately 50% in the Medicaid cohort. Only 32% of commercial and 18% of Medicaid patients reported adherence rates greater than 80%.

For adult patients with GHD, underdiagnosis and undertreatment are also a concern. Untreated adult GHD patients can experience reduced quality of life and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. In a retrospective observational study by Hoffman et al. (Advances in Therapy, 2025; 42(6):2853–2873) which analyzed electronic health records in the U.S. to identify patients with a high likelihood of adult GHD, 54,310 patients were identified as at risk for adult GHD, of which, only 3.1% were treated with growth hormone.

Since the introduction of hGH in 1981, a number of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies have developed and marketed daily-administered hGH products. All currently marketed daily hGH products in the United States – Norditropin® (Novo Nordisk A/S), Humatrope® (Eli Lilly and Company), Genotropin® (Pfizer Inc.), Zomacton® (Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and Omnitrope® (Sandoz GmbH) – contain unmodified somatropin and are administered by subcutaneous injections. The global market for daily hGH products is largely composed of products from Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Sandoz, and Merck KGaA, which together account for most of the global market share. However, according to the FDA drug shortage website, Humatrope has been discontinued due to a business decision which might impact the hGH global market share in the future.

Primary indications for hGH in children are GHD, idiopathic short stature, chronic kidney disease, Prader-Willi syndrome, small for gestational age, and Turner syndrome. In adults, primary indications for hGH include GHD and AIDS-induced weight loss. We estimate pediatric indications comprise up to 90% of the total hGH market, of which approximately half is for pediatric GHD.

Since the 1990s, the pharmaceutical industry has employed various approaches to develop long-acting growth hormone products to reduce the burden of daily injections on patients and increase patient compliance with the dosing regimen. These approaches generally fall into two categories: unmodified somatropin and permanent modification of growth hormone:

•
Unmodified somatropin: Two long-acting growth hormone products using encapsulation technologies previously received regulatory approval in the U.S. and Europe, but were subsequently discontinued due to commercial challenges. These include Nutropin Depot®, formerly marketed by Genentech, and Somatropin Biopartners, developed by LG Life Sciences and Biopartners GmbH. Nutropin Depot was approved by the FDA in 1999 and later withdrawn; Somatropin Biopartners (LB03002) was authorized by the EC in 2013, and later withdrawn. We believe that the lack of market acceptance was a result of the various safety and tolerability issues that tend to arise with encapsulation technologies.
•
Permanent modification of growth hormone: Modification technologies prolong activity in the body by creating analogs of growth hormone through permanent modification of the growth hormone molecule. This modification may alter the molecular size and interaction with the growth hormone receptor and/or change the natural association affinity to endogenous proteins, as well as the distribution in the body. These changes may alter and reduce the efficacy of these drugs compared to unmodified daily somatropin and may also negatively impact the drug’s safety.

In February 2026, Novo Nordisk also received regulatory approval in the U.S for once-weekly somapacitan (SOGROYA®) in three new pediatric indications; idiopathic short stature (ISS), growth failure associated with Noonan syndrome and short stature born Small for Gestational Age with no catch-up growth by 2 years of age.

Pfizer (in collaboration with OPKO Health Inc.) received regulatory approval of once-weekly somatrogon (NGENLA™) in various countries and regions including the U.S., Japan, and EU for pediatric GHD.

13

A permanently PEGylated long-acting growth hormone developed by GeneScience Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Jintrolong®) is available in China for pediatric GHD, Turner syndrome and idiopathic short stature and the Somatropin Biopartners product (LB03002) is available in Korea. Other experimental growth hormone therapies based on permanent modification are in different stages of clinical development by various companies, including Genexine Inc., I-MAB, Amoytop, UnionGene, Anhui Anke Biotechnology, Alteogen, JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., Kexing Biopharm, Qianhon Biopharma (Zonhon) and Evive Biotech (Yifan).

TransCon Growth Hormone (hGH)

TransCon hGH (lonapegsomatropin) is a prodrug composed of somatropin that is transiently bound to a TransCon carrier by a proprietary TransCon linker. TransCon hGH is administered once weekly and is designed to maintain the same mode of action as daily therapies by providing sustained release of active, unmodified somatropin, the same recombinant growth hormone molecule used in the daily hGH therapies that have historically been the standard of care.

TransCon Growth Hormone (hGH) for Pediatric and Adult GHD

TransCon hGH, marketed under the brand name SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin-tcgd), received regulatory approval in the U.S. for the treatment of pediatric patients one year and older who weigh at least 11.5 kg and have growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone, also known as GHD. SKYTROFA has been commercially available for prescription in the United States since October 2021. In the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Great Britain (covering England, Wales, Scotland), we received marketing authorization for TransCon hGH – known by its brand name SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin) – as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection for the treatment of children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years with growth failure due to insufficient secretion of endogenous growth hormone. SKYTROFA has been commercially available for prescription in Germany since September 2023.

In July 2025, we announced that the FDA had approved SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin-tcgd; developed as TransCon hGH) for the replacement of endogenous growth hormone in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), a rare disorder resulting from decreased or total loss of growth hormone production. Further, on October 22, 2025, we announced commercial availability of SKYTROFA (TransCon hGH) in broader dosing ranges in the United States for the replacement of endogenous growth hormone in adults with growth hormone deficiency.

Clinical Trial of TransCon hGH in Japanese Pediatric GHD

In the ongoing Phase 3 riGHt Trial, we are evaluating TransCon hGH (N=15) compared to somatropin (N=16) as a treatment in Japanese children with GHD. The trial achieved its primary objective with Week 52 top-line results consistent with our pivotal heiGHt Trial and VISEN’s Phase 3 trial. In the riGHt Trial, TransCon hGH was generally well tolerated with a safety profile that was similar to that of somatropin’s. Trial subjects continue in the extension period.

Proprietary Auto-Injector

SKYTROFA includes the SKYTROFA Auto-Injector and cartridges. The auto-injector provides for room temperature storage, includes an empty-all design, and is expected to last for at least four years. The device enables a single, low-volume injection of less than 0.6 mL for the majority of patients with a thin, 31-gauge needle that is only 4 millimeters in length, which is comparable to needles used to administer daily hGH. We are also working on strategies that will enable the auto-injector to integrate with the digital healthcare system, including Bluetooth connectivity features to allow for easy tracking of dosing adherence over time.

TransCon Growth Hormone (hGH) for Other Indications

In March 2026, we announced Week 52 top-line results from New InsiGHTS. At Week 52, children treated with TransCon hGH demonstrated an LS mean AHV of 9.05 cm/year, similar to 9.04 cm/year for children treated with daily somatropin, independent of starting dose. The mean dose at Week 52 was 0.22 mg/kg/week for TransCon hGH and 0.29 mg/kg/week for daily somatropin. TransCon hGH demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile similar to daily somatropin through follow-up of up to 143 weeks, with adverse events that were mild to moderate in severity and no adverse events leading to discontinuation of study drug. Additionally, there were no occurrences of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. TransCon hGH was generally safe and well tolerated, with four discontinuations from the trial for reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy of the study drug. As of March 31, 2026, 45 out of the 49 children are ongoing in the trial.

In December 2024, we announced positive top-line results from the Phase 2 New InsiGHTS Trial. New InsiGHTS randomized and dosed 49 children with Turner syndrome aged 1 to 10 years old into one of four treatment groups 1:1:1:1 – one of three starting doses of TransCon hGH (0.24, 0.30, or 0.36 mg/kg/week) or an active comparator of daily somatropin with a starting dose of 0.35 mg/kg/week. Doses were individualized based on IGF-1. On the primary endpoint of annualized height velocity (“AHV”) and secondary endpoint of change from baseline in height SDS, children treated with TransCon hGH demonstrated improved growth similar to daily somatropin at Week 26, independent of starting dose.

During the third quarter of 2025, we submitted the protocol for a basket trial evaluating additional growth disorder indications (planned for small for gestational age without catch-up growth; idiopathic short stature; SHOX deficiency (including Turner syndrome). In addition, we are investigating potential combinations of TransCon hGH and TransCon CNP. For more information see the section entitled “Combination Therapy (TransCon CNP + TransCon hGH).”

Achondroplasia

Overview of Achondroplasia

Achondroplasia is a rare genetic condition arising from a systemic fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (“FGFR3”) variant, which causes serious muscular, neurological, and cardiorespiratory complications in addition to the well-characterized skeletal dysplasia that leads to disproportionate short stature. Achondroplasia is associated with a well-delineated range of clinical complications and manifestations, occurring in about one in 10,000 to 30,000 newborns or more than 250,000 worldwide. Achondroplasia results in severe skeletal complications and comorbidities including spinal stenosis due to premature fusion of the foramen magnum, sleep apnea, chronic ear infections, and muscular complications. Patients often face multiple surgeries to alleviate its many complications. There is significant unmet need for treatments that ameliorate complications and improve quality of life in achondroplasia.

Achondroplasia is caused by gain-of-function variants of the FGFR3 gene resulting in constitutive activation of FGFR3 that leads to an imbalance between the effects of the FGFR3 and C-type natriuretic peptide (“CNP”) signaling . In achondroplasia, FGFR3 is constitutively activated, suppressing the differentiation of chondrocytes in the growth plate leading to poor endochondral bone growth and causing dysfunction in the skeletal muscle. Preclinical and clinical data show that therapeutic continuous CNP exposure helps to counteract the constitutively activated FGFR3 downstream.

In November 2021, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.’s (“BioMarin”) daily VOXZOGO® (vosoritide) was approved by the FDA to increase linear growth in pediatric patients with achondroplasia with open epiphyses. Additionally, BioMarin is developing a long-acting CNP product candidate.

BioMarin has initiated certain legal proceedings aimed at delaying or preventing patient access to TransCon CNP. We believe BioMarin’s claims lack merit and that these actions threaten potential harm to patients by limiting or preventing access to a treatment option that has the potential to address multiple unmet clinical needs.

These legal proceedings include a case filed by BioMarin before the Unified Patent Court (“UPC”) in Munich related to alleged infringement against EP3175863 (the “‘863 patent”), along with a complaint filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) related to alleged infringement of U.S. Reissue Patent No. 48,267. Trial in the ITC took place this April 2026. In response to the ITC action, we initiated legal action before the District Court in the U.S. Northern District of California. The District Court litigation has been stayed in view of the pending ITC proceedings.

In the European case, we took the view that we did not infringe the ‘863 patent and that the patent was, in any event, invalid. Following opposition proceedings against the ‘863 patent that were initiated before the European Patent Office (“EPO”) in September 2022, the EPO Technical Boards of Appeal revoked the ‘863 patent in its entirety on October 16, 2025. As a consequence of the revocation, the UPC dismissed the infringement case on December 29, 2025, which included an agreement for BioMarin to reimburse Ascendis for certain legal expenses related to the case. In addition, we have instituted proceedings before the Danish Maritime and Commercial High Court, claiming entitlement to European patent applications EP21211450.8, EP25151367.7 and EP25175852.0, all of which are divisional applications of the revoked ‘863 patent. The EPO has granted a stay of proceedings with respect to these divisional applications. BioMarin is challenging such stay at the German Courts in Munich.

On June 12, 2025, BioMarin also submitted a Citizen Petition to the FDA under Section 505(q) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requesting that FDA refrain from approving any analog of human CNP as a treatment for achondroplasia until orphan-drug exclusivities applicable to VOXZOGO expire. We submitted a response to the FDA in September 2025 and in February 2026, the FDA denied the Citizen Petition.

Also, on October 21, 2025, we filed a petition before the Korean Intellectual Property Trial and Appeal Board (“IPTAB”) for the invalidation of BioMarin’s Korean patent KR2033680.

Furthermore, on March 11, 2026, we filed two lawsuits in Brazil relating to BioMarin’s Brazilian patent, BR 12 2019 026832 0. One suit was filed in the Federal Court Rio de Janeiro, requesting revocation of the patent and the other suit filed at the State Court São Paulo, requesting the court for a declaratory judgement of non-infringement of our YUVIWEL product.

Changing the Treatment Paradigm of Achondroplasia

Clinical manifestations of achondroplasia are associated with significant, potentially life-threatening complications and reduced quality of life. While achondroplasia has historically been considered a growth disorder, secondary manifestations beyond linear growth, including reduced muscle strength and stamina, suggest that achondroplasia is also a muscle disorder.

HRQoL: Reduced Health-Related QOL; Height; Reduced height. Muscle Strength/Stamina; Reduced muscular functionality, including reduced strength and stamina.

TransCon CNP

TransCon CNP (navepegritide) is a prodrug of CNP administered once weekly and designed to provide sustained release of active CNP supporting continuous exposure for the treatment of achondroplasia. TransCon CNP is designed to provide effective shielding of CNP from neutral endopeptidase degradation in subcutaneous tissue and the blood compartment, minimize binding of CNP to the NPR-C receptor to decrease clearance, and release unmodified CNP (89-126), which is small enough in size to allow effective penetration into growth plates. Shorter-acting CNP and CNP analogs in development have resulted in high maximum serum concentration (“Cmax”) levels that may cause adverse hypotensive events. We believe the therapeutically sustained release of TransCon CNP offers advantages that may mitigate this issue, leading to continuous CNP exposure while avoiding a high Cmax to correlate with better therapeutic outcomes.

TransCon CNP for the Treatment of Achondroplasia

In February 2026, we received accelerated approval of YUVIWEL (navepegritide; developed as TransCon CNP) for the treatment of pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with achondroplasia with open epiphyses. Additionally in March 2026, the FDA granted Orphan Drug exclusivity to YUVIWEL, providing seven years of market exclusivity for YUVIWEL in the United States for the treatment of pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with achondroplasia with open epiphyses.

In addition, we submitted a Marketing Authorisation Application (“MAA”) to the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) for the treatment of children with achondroplasia on October 8, 2025.

In February 2019, we were granted ODD by the FDA for TransCon CNP for the treatment of achondroplasia. In July 2020, we received ODD from the EC for TransCon CNP for the treatment of achondroplasia.

Clinical Development of TransCon CNP for Achondroplasia

Our pivotal ApproaCH Trial, our Phase 2 ACcomplisH Trial, and our long-term extension trial AttaCH, are evaluating the safety and efficacy of TransCon CNP in children with achondroplasia. The reACHin Trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TransCon CNP in infants with achondroplasia (aged 0 to < 2 years at the time of randomization). The teACH Trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TransCon CNP in adolescents with achondroplasia (aged 12 to 18).

In May 2026, we announced expanded data building on findings presented at PES 2026, recently presented showing that children with achondroplasia ≥5 years of age at baseline treated with once-weekly TransCon CNP (navepegritide) in its pivotal ApproaCH Trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in growth compared to placebo after 52 weeks and sustained these improvements through two years of treatment. Through two years of treatment, TransCon CNP was generally well-tolerated across age groups, with an adverse event profile consistent with placebo. Most adverse events were mild or moderate, with none leading to treatment discontinuation or withdrawal. There were no occurrences of symptomatic hypotension, no acceleration of bone age, and the ISR rate was low (all mild) at 0.35 per person-year of exposure, approximately one ISR for every three years of treatment.

17

In March 2026, we announced new two-year data from the pivotal ApproaCH Trial, which were shared in an oral presentation during the Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics ("ACMG"). The data showed that children with achondroplasia treated with once-weekly TransCon CNP maintained consistent improvements in growth through Week 104, with further improvement in body proportionality during the second year of treatment. TransCon CNP was generally well-tolerated, with most adverse events in TransCon CNP-treated children mild or moderate in severity and none leading to treatment discontinuation or withdrawal from the trial. There were no occurrences of symptomatic hypotension, and the overall rate of injection-site reactions, all of which were mild was 0.35 per person-year of exposure. Retention in the pivotal ApproaCH Trial was strong, with 80 of 84 children enrolled completing the trial, and all 80 children enrolled into the long-term, open-label AttaCH extension trial.

In November 2025, we announced that Week 52 results from the pivotal ApproaCH trial were published in JAMA Pediatrics titled “Once-Weekly Navepegritide in Children with Achondroplasia: The ApproaCH Randomized Clinical Trial.” The authors reported that treatment with TransCon CNP led to significantly higher annualized growth velocity (AGV) at Week 52 compared to placebo (primary endpoint), as well as improved lower limb alignment and body proportionality and positive changes in health-related QOL, with a safety and tolerability profile similar to placebo. The publication is available at Savarirayan R, et al. JAMA Pediatr. 2026;180(1):18-25. doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2025.4771.

In September 2025, we announced new analyses from the pivotal ApproaCH Trial were presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Annual Meeting. The new analyses showed that children treated with TransCon CNP had improvements in the Physical Functioning domain of the Achondroplasia Child Experience Measure (ACEM-PF), with greatest benefits in younger children who had more severe genu varum (≥5°) at baseline, supporting benefits beyond linear growth. Further analyses showed correlations between improvements in physical functioning and improvements in lower limb alignment in these children, supporting the potential for TransCon CNP to provide benefits beyond linear growth.

In May 2025, we announced data demonstrating improvements in growth and bone morphometry from Week 52 of our pivotal ApproaCH Trial of TransCon CNP (navepegritide) in children with achondroplasia. TransCon CNP demonstrated superiority over placebo in annualized growth velocity (AGV), with a safety and tolerability profile comparable to placebo that included a low rate of injection site reactions, no treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs), no cases of symptomatic hypotension, no fractures, and no acceleration of bone age versus chronological age. Analyses also showed that TransCon CNP improved aspects of bone morphometry at Week 52. This included improvement in lower limb alignment and proportional growth, as well as increases in spinal canal dimensions, versus placebo.

In January 2025, we announced data demonstrating improvements in leg bowing, a common complication in achondroplasia, observed with TransCon CNP compared to worsening observed with placebo in the pivotal ApproaCH Trial.

In September 2024, we announced top-line data from ApproaCH, a pivotal, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of once-weekly TransCon CNP versus placebo in 84 children (aged 2 to 11 years) with achondroplasia. Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive TransCon CNP 100 µg/kg/week or placebo for 52 weeks in the double-blind period, after which all participants could choose to receive TransCon CNP at the 100 µg/kg/week dose in an ongoing open-label extension. In the trial, children treated with once-weekly TransCon CNP demonstrated annualized growth velocity (“AGV”) superior to those treated with placebo. TransCon CNP also demonstrated statistically significant improvements in other growth parameters, including height Z-score and change from baseline AGV.

Safety Results Summary

•
TransCon CNP was generally well-tolerated and demonstrated safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo arm, with generally mild treatment emergent adverse events (“TEAEs”), no evidence of hypotensive effect, and a low frequency of injection site reactions (0.41 events per patient year), all mild.
•
No adverse events (“AEs”) led to discontinuation of TransCon CNP or withdrawal from the trial and no serious adverse events (“SAEs”) were assessed as related to TransCon CNP.

In December 2023, we announced new analyses demonstrating benefits beyond linear growth from the blinded and ongoing OLE periods of ACcomplisH, a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial of TransCon CNP in children aged 2 to 10 years with achondroplasia. In the trial, all 57 patients have now completed one year of treatment with TransCon CNP at 100 µg/kg/week, the dose agreed with regulatory agencies for the active arm in our pivotal ApproaCH Trial.

We analyzed available data for patients who only received TransCon CNP at the 100 µg/kg/week dose in either the blinded or OLE period and were treated for one year (n=19), compared to those administered placebo for one year (n=15). Results showed that these TransCon CNP-treated patients (data available for 9-16 patients) showed improvements (nominal p-value <0.05) in health-related QoL and disease impacts compared to those receiving placebo (data available for 5-13 patients).

Assessments were performed with the SF-10 (a 10-item non-condition specific survey of a child’s functional health and well-being that has been validated to assess children aged 5 years and older) and the Achondroplasia Child Experience Measure (“ACEM”) a condition-specific clinical outcome measure that assesses the impact of achondroplasia on a child’s health-related QOL, with statistically significant improved outcome in TransCon CNP-treatment versus placebo for:

•
SF-10 Physical Summary (p=0.002, aged 5 years and older)
•
ACEM Daily Living Function (p=0.047)
•
ACEM Emotional Well-being (p=0.045)

The 46 children switching from placebo or a lower dose of TransCon CNP to the 100 µg/kg/week dose in the OLE demonstrated improved growth after one year of treatment, similar to the growth benefits seen in the 11 children treated with 100 µg/kg/week in the one-year randomized, double-blind period of ACcomplisH.

During the third quarter of 2023, we filed an Investigational New Drug Application amendment with the FDA to initiate reACHin, a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 100 μg/kg of TransCon CNP once-weekly for 52 weeks in infants with achondroplasia, aged 0 to < 2 years at the time of randomization.

In November 2022, we announced top-line results from ACcomplisH, a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-weekly TransCon CNP compared to placebo in children with achondroplasia aged 2 to 10 years old.

The ACcomplisH Trial evaluated 57 children with achondroplasia aged 2 to 10 years old, randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either sequential ascending doses of once-weekly TransCon CNP (6 µg/kg/week, 20 µg/kg/week, 50 µg/kg/week, 100 µg/kg/week) or placebo for 52 weeks. The trial met its primary objectives, demonstrating that TransCon CNP at 100 µg/kg/week (n=11) was superior to placebo (n=15) on the primary efficacy endpoint of AGV at 52 weeks (p=0.0218).

The ACcomplisH Trial completed in October 2024, with 55 of the original 57 children transitioning into AttaCH a multicenter, long-term, open-label extension trial to continue treatment with TransCon CNP 100 µg/kg/week, and two into COACH, a TransCon CNP and TransCon hGH combination therapy trial. Two children did not roll-over for reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy of the study drug. For more information, see section entitled, “Combination Therapy TransCon CNP + TransCon hGH.”

As of March 31, 2026, of the 53 children that rolled over from ACcomplisH, 42 children continue in AttaCH with 4 children withdrawn from treatment, for reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy of the study drug. Seven children from AttaCH were enrolled and continue in COACH. For more information, see section entitled, “Combination Therapy TransCon CNP + TransCon hGH.”

In 2019, we initiated the ACHieve Study, a five-year, multi-center natural history study designed to gain insight into the experiences of pediatric patients with achondroplasia. ACHieve was designed to evaluate growth velocity, body proportionality, and comorbidities over time in children with achondroplasia up to eight years old. No study medication was administered in the ACHieve Study. The study ended in the first quarter of 2024.

Combination Therapy (TransCon CNP + TransCon hGH)

TransCon CNP has demonstrated improvement in linear growth and in benefits beyond height. Clinical use of daily growth hormone monotherapy has demonstrated some growth improvements in children with achondroplasia; however, without reports of benefits beyond height, as it does not address the underlying overactive FGFR3 signaling pathway.

We believe the combination of once-weekly TransCon CNP and TransCon hGH, through two independent and complementary mechanisms of action, may provide benefits beyond monotherapies in achondroplasia. The active CNP released from TransCon CNP continuously relieves the pre-hypertrophic block in the growth plate, enabling the strong complementary effect of unmodified somatropin released from TransCon hGH.

20

COACH, a Phase 2 open-label single-arm trial is the first clinical trial to evaluate combination treatment with once-weekly investigational TransCon CNP (navepegritide) and once-weekly TransCon hGH (lonapegsomatropin) in children with achondroplasia (age 2 to 11 years). The primary objective is to evaluate the treatment effect on linear growth and safety. Secondary objectives are to evaluate treatment effect on quality of life, radiological endpoints, physical functioning, and body composition. The trial enrolled 21 children (treatment naïve, n=12; prior treatment with TransCon CNP (100 µg/kg/week) for at least 1 year, n=9).

In April 2026, we announced new data from Week 52 of the ongoing Phase 2 COACH Trial demonstrating that combination therapy with once-weekly TransCon CNP and once-weekly TransCon hGH accelerated benefits beyond linear growth in children with achondroplasia, with unprecedented improvements observed in arm span, and enhanced improvements in spinal canal dimensions, and leg bowing.

1ApproaCH placebo patients crossed over to TransCon CNP therapy at Week 52.

Unprecedented improvements in arm span observed at Week 52 with TransCon CNP and TransCon hGH combination therapy, a measure highly meaningful to the achondroplasia community, with the mean change from baseline in achondroplasia (ACH)-specific arm span Z-scores at Week 52 for TransCon CNP treatment-naïve and TransCon CNP-treated children in COACH were +1.02 and +0.66, respectively. The TransCon CNP treatment-naïve cohort improved +9.4 cm and the TransCon CNP-treated cohort improved +7.9 cm. By comparison, humeral gain by limb lengthening surgery is approximately 8 cm per arm and carries a high complication risk (Hosny G, et al. International Orthopaedics. Published online March 16, 2026. doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00264-025-06720-z).

1Change from baseline to Week 52 for L1-L5 average for TransCon CNP group in the ApproaCH trial was +0.6 mm.

21

Mean of L1-L5 average changes in interpedicular distance (IPD) for TransCon CNP treatment-naïve and TransCon CNP-treated children on combination therapy in COACH were +1.7 mm and +1.1 mm, respectively, compared to +0.6 mm for children on TransCon CNP monotherapy in ApproaCH. Improvements in IPD offer the potential to reduce nerve compression and pain that can result from a narrowed spinal column.

1Absolute Z-scores averaged across both legs, calculated based on data from children of average stature: Sabharwal S, Zhao C. The hip-knee-ankle angle in children: reference values based on a full-length standing radiograph. J Bone Joint Surg Am.2009 Oct;91(10):2461-8. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.I.00015.

For the TransCon CNP treatment-naïve cohort, the mean change in tibial femoral angle (TFA) Z-score was -0.86 with combination therapy at Week 52 in COACH and was -0.47 for TransCon CNP monotherapy at Week 52 in ApproaCH, indicating enhanced straightening of the legs. Children previously treated with long-term TransCon CNP monotherapy for an average of 2.56 years maintained in normal range for TFA Z-score.

1Tibial femoral angles were determined for each leg and then converted to absolute values. Summary data are presented as the average absolute TFA across both legs.

For the TransCon CNP treatment-naïve cohort, the mean change in TFA was -3.0 degrees with combination therapy in COACH and was -1.3 degrees for children on TransCon CNP monotherapy at Week 52 in ApproaCH. Children previously treated with long-term TransCon CNP monotherapy for an average of 2.56 years maintained TFA treatment benefit in the setting of accelerated growth. As of March 31, 2026 all children have completed 52 weeks of treatment and remain on therapy in COACH.

22

In January 2026, we announced topline results from Week 52 of COACH, the first Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate combination therapy with once-weekly TransCon CNP (navepegritide) and once-weekly TransCon hGH (lonapegsomatropin) in children with achondroplasia. Annualized growth velocity exceeded the 97th percentile of average stature children and the improvement in achondroplasia-specific height Z-score indicated a tripling of efficacy compared to TransCon CNP monotherapy. Additionally, combination therapy demonstrated benefits beyond linear growth with improvements in body proportionality and arm span, aligning with the increase in linear growth. The combination therapy was generally well tolerated, with generally mild TEAEs, consistent with TransCon CNP and TransCon hGH monotherapies.

At Week 52, the mean AGV with TransCon CNP and TransCon hGH combination treatment continued to exceed the 97th percentile of average-stature children.

TransCon Product Candidates—Oncology

Market Opportunity in Oncology

Cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of mortality. Improved understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in anti-tumor immune responses has fueled the rapid growth of immuno-oncology therapeutics. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-(L)1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, have provided new therapeutic options for patients.

Despite recent advances, a high need for new treatment options remains for patients who do not respond to, or who respond inadequately to, current therapies. In addition to insufficient efficacy, many current treatments are limited by toxicities that result in dose reductions, treatment discontinuations, or long-term health risks to patients.

We believe that one approach to potentially improve efficacy while limiting adverse events is to create long-acting product candidates using our sustained systemic release TransCon technology, allowing for more consistent circulating drug levels and potentially avoiding high peak concentrations that are often associated with toxicity.

We are currently developing TransCon technology in oncology for a variety of solid tumors, with encouraging early data in HER2+ breast cancer, platinum resistant ovarian cancer and melanoma. Aside from Proleukin being the only approved IL-2, TransCon IL-2 b/g may face competition from other IL-2 type drug candidates in development, including those being developed by Anaveon, Asher Bio, Aulos, Dragonfly, GI Innovation, Hanmi Pharmaceutical, Innovent, Medicenna, Roche, Synthekine, and Werewolf. In addition, TransCon IL-2 b/g may face competition from drug candidates in development for platinum resistant ovarian cancer, including Astra Zeneca, Corcept, Daiichi Sankyo, Eli Lilly, Genelux, Genmab, and Merck. In melanoma, TransCon IL-2 b/g may face competition from drug candidates in development including from Immatics, Immunocore, Innovent, Replimune, Regeneron, and Philogen.

TransCon Technologies for Oncology

We believe prolonging the therapeutic activity and targeting the drug activity to the relevant cell types and tissues have the potential to improve treatment outcomes. We believe TransCon is well-suited to improve cancer treatments given the large number of validated targets with known limitations. By applying our unique algorithm for product innovation to clinically validated targets and pathways, we believe TransCon has the potential to improve outcomes currently limited by suboptimal efficacy and systemic toxicity.

We believe TransCon technologies may have the potential to increase the efficacy of small molecules, peptides and proteins without increasing toxicity, which could offer the potential to treat more patients with new combinations and multi-agent regimens that would not otherwise be feasible.

24

We are currently investigating one clinical-stage product candidate designed to activate the patient’s own immune system to eradicate malignant cells. We believe our approach, if successfully developed, has the potential to improve the efficacy of systemically administered, clinically validated therapies while limiting adverse effects.

Our early clinical and nonclinical studies have shown sustained activation of cytotoxic immune cells that resulted in robust anti-tumor responses by TransCon product candidates using infrequent administration.

TransCon IL-2 b/g for Sustained Systemic Release

TransCon IL-2 b/g (onvapegleukin alfa) is an investigational long-acting prodrug designed to improve cancer immunotherapy through sustained release of an IL-2 variant that selectively activates IL-2 b/g, with minimal binding to IL-2Rα. The IL-Believe Trial, a Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TransCon IL-2 b/g in locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, alone or in combination with pembrolizumab or other anti-cancer therapies, has completed dose escalation and is enrolling patients in multiple indication-specific dose expansion cohorts, including platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (“PROC”), melanoma, and HER2+ breast cancer.

In May 2026, we announced ongoing Phase 1/2 IL-BELIEVE Trial, TransCon IL-2 β/γ dosed every three weeks in combination with weekly paclitaxel demonstrated improved median overall survival (OS) up to 10 months from 6-7 months for historical controls, with a generally well-tolerated safety profile in patients with late-stage platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, validating the science behind TransCon IL-2 β/γ. As further internal oncology development does not align with our strategic focus, we have decided to discontinue internal development of TransCon IL-2 β/γ in Oncology and will explore other ways to maximize the value of this asset.

In October 2025, we reported updated results at the European Society for Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) that further indicate clinical activity in late-line patients with PROC treated with TransCon IL-2 b/g with weekly paclitaxel (Cohort 3, 3SK, and 14 in the IL-Believe Trial). As of data cutoff date of September 2, 2025, 70 patients (median 4 prior lines of therapy; 67% previously treated with at least 2 lines of taxane-containing therapy) were enrolled and 53 were efficacy-evaluable to-date, with 7 pending first post-baseline scan. Clinical responses were observed in 25% (13/53) of patients who had received two to ten prior lines of therapy (three confirmed and ten unconfirmed responses, with six of the unconfirmed continuing on study treatment). Data continued to suggest that TransCon IL-2 b/g in combination with weekly paclitaxel is generally well-tolerated with the majority of TransCon IL-2 b/g-related TEAEs being grade 1 or 2 in severity.

TransCon IL-2 b/g induced significant peripheral expansion of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells with minimal expansion of regulatory T cells, despite concurrent chemotherapy. Proliferating antigen-experienced PD-1+CD8+ T cells expanded significantly at 1 week post dose. Expanded PD-1+CD8+ T cells predominantly exhibited stem-like or transitory states, with limited progression to terminally differentiated or exhausted phenotypes. In addition, clinical responses significantly correlated with peripheral CD8+ T cell expansion in PROC. Furthermore, significant increase in CD8+ T cells was observed in the tumor of paired on-treatment biopsies from all available paired pre-treatment and on-treatment tumor samples from IL Believe Trial as of September 2, 2025, dosed at 80 (n=2) or 120 μg/kg (n=11).

In September 2024, we announced initial data showing signs of clinical activity in heavily pre-treated patients with PROC treated (cohort 3) with TransCon IL-2 b/g in combination with chemotherapy in the ongoing Phase 1/2 IL-Believe Trial of TransCon IL-2 b/g. As of a cutoff date of July 29, 2024, of the 18 patients (median age 64 years) included in the initial assessment, 14 were efficacy evaluable patients who had one or more post-baseline tumor assessment(s), plus an additional four who discontinued treatment before the first post-baseline tumor assessment due to disease progression or death.

As of the data cutoff, clinical responses were observed in 29% (4/14) of the efficacy evaluable patients (two confirmed and two unconfirmed partial responses in patients who had received three to seven prior lines of treatment – including patients whose disease had previously progressed on mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx), suggesting the potential for clinical activity in heavily pre-treated patients. The data suggest that TransCon IL-2 b/g was generally well-tolerated: the most common TEAEs related to combination therapy with TransCon IL-2 b/g plus chemotherapy were fatigue, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and anemia. Most TransCon IL-2 β/γ-related TEAEs were grade 1 or 2.

25

In June 2024, we reported updated results from our ongoing Phase 1/2 IL-Believe Trial of TransCon IL-2 b/g. Data included the first presentation of Phase 2 dose expansion Cohort 4 (TransCon IL-2 b/g in combination with TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist) in post anti-PD-1 melanoma and new analyses of patients from dose escalation cohorts with prior disease progression on checkpoint inhibitors, along with biomarker studies correlating cytotoxic immune cell expansion and observed clinical benefit. As of the April 16, 2024 data cutoff, confirmed clinical partial responses were observed in 40% (two out of five) of efficacy-evaluable patients from Cohort 4, suggesting potential synergy of our two novel immunotherapy candidates in patients who did not derive sufficient benefit from checkpoint inhibitors. Of efficacy-evaluable patients with prior disease progression on checkpoint inhibitors to date (from Phase 1 dose escalation cohorts) in the IL-Believe Trial, confirmed clinical responses (per RECIST v1.1) were observed in 45% (five out of eleven) administered TransCon IL-2 b/g doses ≥80 μg/kg every 3 weeks, suggesting clinical benefit in treatment-resistant settings (monotherapy (n=4): 1 confirmed partial response (“PR”) in colorectal cancer; combination with pembrolizumab (n=2): 1 confirmed complete response and 1 confirmed PR in small-cell lung cancer; combination with TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist (n=5): 2 confirmed PRs in melanoma). In this trial, TransCon IL-2 b/g alone or in combination with pembrolizumab or TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist was generally well tolerated with no new safety signals.

In October 2023, we announced updated data from the ongoing Phase 1 dose escalation cohort from IL-Believe Trial. Forty-six patients were enrolled into dose escalation cohorts: 25 to monotherapy and 21 to combination therapy. As of the August 15, 2023, data cutoff, anti-tumor clinical responses were observed with TransCon IL-2 b/g monotherapy (colorectal cancer with PR) or in combination with pembrolizumab (small cell lung cancer, one with confirmed PR and one ongoing with unconfirmed complete response) in heavily pre-treated patients who previously progressed on checkpoint inhibitors. TransCon IL-2 b/g every three weeks was generally well-tolerated, with no meaningful effect on Tregs and eosinophils.

In September 2023, we announced completion of Phase 1 dose escalation in combination with pembrolizumab of the IL-Believe Trial with a total of 21 patients enrolled and recommended Phase 2 dose (“RP2D”) determined at 120 µg/kg IV every three weeks. Twenty-one patients were enrolled.

In May 2023, we announced completion of the Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation of the IL-Believe Trial with RP2D determined at 120 µg/kg IV every three weeks with 25 heavily pre-treated patients enrolled and a median of four prior lines of systemic therapies.

Strategic Collaborations and Investments

We also engage in strategic collaborations to further leverage our TransCon technologies in certain geographies and therapeutic areas with market-leading biopharmaceutical companies. These collaborations aim to make promising treatment options available to more patients and to further monetize both our TransCon technologies and our internal product candidates, particularly into therapeutic areas where we believe a partner may have more expertise, capability, and capital. In addition, we may choose to pursue a collaboration to develop and market our internal, wholly owned product candidates in geographic markets outside our core focus areas of the United States and Europe.

Novo Nordisk A/S

In November 2024, we entered into a research and development collaboration and license agreement with Novo Nordisk pursuant to which we granted Novo Nordisk an exclusive worldwide license to the TransCon technology platform to develop, manufacture and commercialize Novo Nordisk proprietary products (including Semaglutide) in metabolic diseases (including obesity and type 2 diabetes) and a product-by-product exclusive license in cardiovascular diseases.

The agreement includes provisions requiring at least one TransCon Semaglutide product and at least one other TransCon technology-based product to be identified, developed and commercialized in metabolic diseases to maintain certain exclusivities in the field, with additional provisions for cardiovascular diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Novo Nordisk also receives exclusive rights to expand any resulting metabolic disease products into other therapeutic areas. The lead program in the collaboration is a once-monthly TransCon Semaglutide product candidate that will initially target obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Under the agreement, we have the potential to receive total payments of up to $285 million in upfront, development and regulatory milestone payments for the lead program. In addition, we have the potential to receive sales-based milestone payments and tiered royalties on global net sales. The $285 million includes an upfront fee of $100 million for the exclusive license that was paid to us in January 2025. For each additional metabolic or cardiovascular disease product candidate, we are eligible to receive payments of up to $77.5 million in development and regulatory milestone payments. In addition, we have the potential to receive sales-based milestone payments and tiered royalties on global net sales. Novo Nordisk agreed to pay royalties for each potential licensed product developed under the agreement that are an escalating tiered, mid-single digit percentage of the annual net sales of such licensed product and are subject to reduction due to patent valid claim expiration, biosimilar product market share, payment made under certain licenses for third party intellectual property and Inflation Reduction Act price negotiations.

26

Under the agreement, we have agreed to conduct certain pre-agreed early research and development of TransCon product candidates under the collaboration and we are eligible to receive cost reimbursement from Novo Nordisk for its performance of such research and development activities under the agreement with respect to such TransCon product candidates. Novo Nordisk is responsible for any other non-clinical and clinical development, regulatory, commercial manufacturing, and commercialization of such TransCon product candidates, and all costs associated with such activities.

Subject to the terms of the agreement, we granted Novo Nordisk an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to use our proprietary TransCon technology platform to develop, manufacture and commercialize Novo Nordisk proprietary products in metabolic diseases (including obesity and type 2 diabetes) and a product-by-product exclusive license in cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, we granted Novo Nordisk an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to use our proprietary TransCon technology platform to develop, manufacture and commercialize GLP-1 receptor products using the TransCon technology for all indications, except for (i) certain pre-agreed rare endocrine indications, (ii) all indications in respect of the eye and adnexa and (iii) all indications in respect of oncology.

Until expiry of the last royalty term and for one-year thereafter, we are not permitted to research, develop, manufacture, commercialize, or otherwise exploit outside of the collaboration, any GLP-1 receptor product or any other licensed products that have been subject to the collaboration. We are also not permitted to undertake any research, development, manufacture, commercialization, or other exploitation of products outside of the collaboration in the metabolic field until expiry of the last royalty term of any licensed products that have been subject to the collaboration in metabolic diseases.

Unless earlier terminated, the agreement has a royalty term that continues, on a per licensed product and per country basis, until the later of (i) the expiration of the last valid patent claim for any of our patents, joint improvement patents, licensed product patents as well as any improvements made by Novo Nordisk covering the licensed product’s dosage regimen or target product profile, or (ii) 11 years after the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country.

Novo Nordisk has the right to terminate the agreement without cause in its entirety or on a per licensed product basis. We have the right to terminate the agreement in its entirety in case Novo Nordisk brings patent challenges with respect to our patents. The agreement may also be terminated by either party based on an uncured material breach by the other party or the bankruptcy of the other party.

Upon termination of the agreement due to Novo Nordisk’s default, some or all of the licenses granted by us to Novo Nordisk to develop, manufacture and commercialize any of the licensed products will automatically terminate.

Upon termination of the agreement due to certain defaults by us, Novo Nordisk may choose to either (i) have the license granted by us to Novo Nordisk to develop, manufacture and commercialize licensed products terminate in its entirety or on a product-by-product basis; or (ii) continue with respect to the affected licensed product at a reduced payment rate.

In January 2025, we announced that our multi-product collaboration with Novo Nordisk for TransCon technology-based therapies in obesity and metabolic diseases continues and that the lead program TransCon Semaglutide, remains on track to enter the clinic as anticipated.

Teijin Limited

In February 2026, Teijin announced that it had applied for manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan for lonapegsomatropin for the treatment of pediatric GHD to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency.

In November 2025, Teijin announced that YORVIPATH is commercially available for prescription.

In November 2023, we announced that we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Teijin for the further development and commercialization of TransCon hGH, TransCon PTH, and TransCon CNP for endocrinology rare disease in Japan. Under the terms of the agreement with Teijin, we received an upfront payment of $70 million, with additional development and regulatory milestones of up to $175 million, transfer pricing and commercial milestones. In addition, we are eligible to receive royalties on net sales in Japan, of up to a mid-20’s percentage, varying by product.

27

VISEN Pharmaceuticals

In November 2018, we announced the formation of VISEN, a company established to develop and commercialize our endocrinology rare disease therapies in Greater China. In connection with the formation of VISEN, we granted VISEN exclusive rights to develop and commercialize certain product candidates based on our proprietary TransCon technologies, including TransCon hGH, TransCon PTH, and TransCon CNP, in Greater China for use in all human indications, subject to certain exceptions. As consideration for the rights granted to VISEN, we received 50.0% ownership in the outstanding shares of VISEN and concurrently with the rights we granted to VISEN, entities affiliated with Vivo Capital and Sofinnova Ventures purchased shares in VISEN for an aggregate purchase price of $40 million in cash. In January 2021, we invested an additional $12.5 million in VISEN as part of VISEN’s $150 million Series B financing.

On March 20, 2025, VISEN announced the pricing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The shares offered in the IPO were priced at HKD 68.80 per share and expected to result in gross proceeds of HKD 783,288,000 (approximately USD 100 million) plus a potential greenshoe of up to HKD 117,489,760 (approximately USD 15 million). This amount was calculated before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. The IPO closed on March 21, 2025, and VISEN’s shares began trading under the stock code 2561.HK. Ascendis Pharma holds 41,136,364 shares in VISEN. Following the IPO, the Company owned 39.2% in VISEN. The management and existing shareholders of VISEN, including Ascendis Pharma, have entered into customary lock-up agreements restricting the sale of VISEN shares for six months following the IPO; additionally, certain significant shareholders of VISEN, including Ascendis Pharma, are subject to an additional lock-up obligation during the period commencing on the date that is six months after the IPO and ending on the date that is 12 months after the IPO during which such shareholders may not sell shares of VISEN to an extent that would cause such shareholder to cease being a controlling shareholder of the VISEN pursuant to applicable listing rules. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s ownership in VISEN was 39.2% and 43.9%, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, VISEN’s share price at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was HK$32.80, reflecting the market value of the Company’s equity position of €147.5 million.

In April 2026, VISEN announced that results from its briGHt Trial, the pivotal Phase 3 trial in China of once-weekly lonapegsomatropin (TransCon hGH) in pediatric patients with GHD, were published in Hormone Research in Paediatrics, the official journal of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology ("ESPE"). The briGHt Trial was a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial conducted across 17 sites in China. VISEN reported that weekly lonapegsomatropin demonstrated non-inferiority and superiority over daily somatropin in annualized height velocity ("AHV") among treatment-naïve Chinese children with GHD.

In January 2026, VISEN announced its biologics license application (“BLA”) for lonapegsomatropin (TransCon hGH) was approved by the National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) of China for the treatment of pediatric patients who have growth failure due to inadequate secretion of growth hormone in China.

In September 2025, VISEN announced that palopegteriparatide (TransCon PTH) was approved by the Hainan Medical Products Administration for clinical use in the Boao Lecheng Pilot Zone for the treatment of adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism.

In August 2024, VISEN announced top-line data from the 26-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled portion of the Phase 3 PaTHway China Trial of Palopegteriparatide (TransCon PTH) in adults with chronic hypoparathyroidism. VISEN reported a statistically significant higher proportion of patients treated with palopegteriparatide achieved the primary multi-component endpoint compared to placebo. The primary multi-component endpoint was achieved by 77.6% of palopegteriparatide-treated patients (45 of 58), compared to 0.0% of patients (0 of 22) in the placebo group (p-value <0.0001). Results were consistent with those announced by us for our palopegteriparatide Phase 3 trial.

In November 2023, VISEN announced top-line results from the Phase 2 ACcomplisH China Trial in children with achondroplasia aged 2 to 10 years. VISEN reported that patients dosed with TransCon CNP at the 100 μg CNP/kg/week showed significantly higher AGV than placebo at Week 52.

In November 2022, VISEN announced data from its pivotal Phase 3 study of TransCon hGH in children with GHD in China. VISEN reported that patients dosed with TransCon hGH demonstrated an AHV of 10.66 cm/year compared to 9.75 cm/year for the daily hGH at 52 weeks (treatment difference at 0.91 cm/year with a 95 percent confidence interval: 0.37 – 1.45 cm/year, p=0.0010), reaching its primary objective, demonstrating that TransCon hGH is non-inferior to the daily hGH.

Market Opportunity in China

China is the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world after the United States and represents one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical markets worldwide. In recent years, the Chinese government has initiated a number of regulatory reforms that are expected to accelerate drug development, as well as drive growth and demand for new therapeutics in China. In addition to joining an international organization that standardizes regulations for clinical development, the National Medical Products Administration has introduced initiatives such as fast track review for drugs for unmet medical needs and adopted new rules that streamline the drug approval process in China for global companies.

The purpose of our investment in VISEN is to support our strategy to extend our endocrinology rare disease portfolio globally and establish a presence in China in partnership with collaborators who have significant experience and knowledge of the biopharmaceutical opportunity in China.

Rights Agreements

Under three exclusive license agreements, each effective November 7, 2018, and as amended January 4, 2021, between the Company and VISEN (collectively, the “Rights Agreements”), VISEN must use diligent efforts to develop and commercialize licensed products in Greater China. Additionally, we and VISEN will conduct certain research and development activities allocated to the respective party under a research and technical development plan, and VISEN will reimburse us for costs of conducting such activities, including costs of our personnel committed to performing such activities in Greater China.

We entered into a clinical supply agreement with VISEN in 2018 to provide product supply for use in conducting clinical trials in Greater China. Additionally, during 2023, we entered into a commercial supply agreement governing commercial supply of licensed product (TransCon hGH) to VISEN on the terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Agreements. Further, in June 2025, we entered into a Commercial Supply Framework Agreement with VISEN regarding the supply of additional batches of licensed product (TransCon hGH) to VISEN.

Under the Rights Agreements, we agreed not to research, develop, or commercialize competing products in Greater China, and VISEN agreed not to grant certain rights under its interest in any inventions or intellectual property arising out of the activities conducted under the Rights Agreements to third-parties, in each case, under the terms and conditions specified in the Rights Agreements. We will have the right to exploit inventions and intellectual property arising out of the activities conducted under the Rights Agreements outside of Greater China. Additionally, we granted VISEN a right of first negotiation to develop and commercialize certain of our endocrinology products in Greater China.

The Rights Agreements continue in effect for as long as a valid claim of a licensed patent exists in Greater China. VISEN may terminate a Rights Agreement for convenience, for uncured material breach by us of a Rights Agreement and for our bankruptcy or insolvency-related events. We may terminate a Rights Agreement for certain specified material breaches thereof by VISEN, in the event VISEN undergoes a change of control in favor of a competitor, if VISEN challenges the validity of any of the licensed patents and for VISEN’s bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

Eyconis, Inc

In January 2024, we announced the formation and launch with Frazier Life Sciences of Eyconis Inc., a separate company created to develop, manufacture, and commercialize TransCon ophthalmology assets globally, together with a $150 million commitment from an investor syndicate that included Frazier, RA Capital Management, venBio, and HealthQuest Capital. We have granted Eyconis exclusive rights to develop and commercialize TransCon ophthalmology products globally and received an equity position in the newly formed company. In addition, we are eligible to receive development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments, plus single digit royalties on global net sales of commercialized products, if any. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s ownership in Eyconis was 33.0% and 40.9% on a non-diluted basis, respectively.

(1)
Operating expenses comprise research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily benefited from the continued growth of YORVIPATH global sales. We had an operating profit of €24.8 million, compared to an operating loss of €104.2 million for the same period last year. This improvement reflected higher revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses associated with commercial expansion.

We had a net profit of €629.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of €94.6 million for the same period last year. In addition to the positive development in operating profit/(loss), this development was driven by recognition of deferred tax assets of €679.0 million, partly offset by higher net financial expenses of €46.8 million, compared to the same period last year, primarily related to non-cash items.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, represented an improvement of €6.6 million compared to the same period last year, attributable to improved operating performance, where in addition, the three months ended March 31, 2025 benefited from settlement of the upfront payment from our exclusive license agreement with Novo Nordisk of $100 million plus related indirect taxes. Cash flows from/(used) in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was negative, primarily due to unfavorable working capital movements, including increases in trade receivables and decreases in accrued liabilities. These changes largely reflect timing-related effects associated with revenue growth and the settlement of liabilities from 2025. Refer to section “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further information.

Foreign currency translation reduced reported revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 by €22.0 million, compared to the same period last year. Similarly, operating expenses decreased due to currency translation by €12.8 million, compared to the same period last year.

Total equity presented a surplus of €488.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to a deficit of €162.8 million as of December 31, 2025.

Further details about our results of operations and cash flows are described in the following sections.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (unaudited)

Revenue from sale of commercial products was as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
(EUR’000) |  | 2026 |  |  | 2025 |  |  | Change |
Revenue from commercial products |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
YORVIPATH® |  |  | 196,896 |  |  |  | 44,688 |  |  |  | 152,208 |

Total revenue from commercial products |  |  | 240,853 |  |  |  | 96,028 |  |  |  | 144,825 |

Revenue from sale of commercial products represented an increase of €144.8 million, primarily due to the continued growth of YORVIPATH global sales. Revenue from sales of SKYTROFA was lower, primarily due to sale of commercial products under one of our collaboration agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, foreign currency translation reduced reported revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 by €22.0 million, compared to the same period last year.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was €17.5 million, unchanged from the same period last year.

Research and Development Expenses

The following table specifies external project costs on the development pipeline and other research and development (“R&D”) expenses.

Total research and development expenses |  | 59,044 |  |  |  | 86,603 |  |  |  | (27,559 | )

R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were €59.0 million, representing a decrease of €27.6 million compared to the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to completion of certain clinical trials and development activities within our Endocrinology Rare Disease and Oncology pipeline, and reversal (income) of prior period write-downs related to pre-launch inventories for Growth Disorders of €10.9 million due to the U.S. FDA approval of YUVIWEL.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Refer to Note 11, “Financial Assets and Liabilities” for further information about our royalty funding agreements.

Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2026, we recognized a net income tax benefit of €677.5 million for the period, primarily reflecting €679.0 million in reversals of reversal of prior-period write-downs against deferred tax assets in Denmark and the United States.

32

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and capital resources comprise cash and cash equivalents, which as of March 31, 2026, amounted to €572.8 million.

Our expenditures primarily relate to research and development activities and selling, general, and administrative activities to support our business, including our continued development of products and product candidates, the commercialization of our products, and expenses incurred in anticipation of potential future product launches. We manage our liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves. The risk of shortage of funds is monitored, through the financial forecasting process, to ensure sufficient funds are available to settle liabilities as they fall due.

Historically, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of preference shares, ordinary shares (including public offerings and exercise of warrants), convertible debt securities, payments to us made under collaboration agreements, and our royalty funding agreements. Including our initial public offering, since February 2015, we have completed public offerings that have provided aggregate net proceeds of $2,580.2 million (or €2,259.0 million at the time of the public offerings). Refer to Note 11, “Financial Assets and Liabilities” for further information about our convertible notes and royalty funding agreements.

For additional description of our cash requirements, public offerings, expense structure and commitments, refer to “Item 5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources,” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2026.

Based on our current operating plan, we currently estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least twelve months from the date of this report. However, our operating plan and actual cash requirements may change as a result of many factors. For example our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to those described in “Item 3.D – Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History, Financial Condition and Capital Requirements,” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2026.

Cash Flows from/(used in) Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were €7.7 million, representing an improvement of €6.6 million compared to the same period last year, of which €123.9 million related to improved operating performance, primarily driven by commercial revenue growth, offset by €117.3 million related to unfavorable changes to working capital, which primarily related to the settlement of the upfront payment from our exclusive license agreement with Novo Nordisk of $100 million plus related indirect taxes in 2025. Cash flows from/(used) in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was negative, primarily due to unfavorable working capital movements, including increases in trade receivables and decreases in accrued liabilities. These changes largely reflect timing-related effects associated with revenue growth and the settlement of liabilities from 2025.

Cash Flows from/(used in) Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were €6.8 million, representing an increase of €6.1 million compared to the same period last year and was primarily attributable to leasehold improvements.

Cash Flows from/(used in) Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were €36.8 million, representing an increase of €18.8 million compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting €34.5 million higher treasury shares repurchases, partly offset by €17.8 million higher proceeds from warrant exercises.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements or any holdings in variable interest entities.

Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our activities expose us to financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, inflation rates and interest rates. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. Further, we are exposed to credit risk, equity risk and liquidity risk. For a description of our exposure to liquidity risks, including risks associated with the royalty funding liabilities and processes for managing these risks, please refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” set forth above, and maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities provided in Note 11, “Financial Assets and Liabilities.”

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the U.S. Dollar. While we generate revenue in Euros, a significant portion of our revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars. Similarly, a significant portion of our operating expenses is denominated in U.S. Dollars. In addition, our outstanding convertible notes and royalty funding liabilities are denominated in U.S. Dollars. We seek to minimize our exchange rate risk by maintaining cash positions in the currencies in which we expect to incur the majority of our future expenses and we make payments from those positions.

Interest Rate Risk

Outstanding convertible notes comprise a 2.25% coupon fixed rate structure. In addition, the interest rate on lease liabilities is fixed at the lease commencement date. Future indebtedness, including those related to lease arrangements, if any, may be subject to higher interest rates. In addition, future interest income from interest-bearing bank deposits may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.

Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Accordingly, since the fair value is exposed to the development in interest rates, the profit or loss is exposed to volatility from such development.

34

Credit Risk

We have adopted an investment policy with the primary purpose of preserving capital, fulfilling our liquidity needs and diversifying the risks associated with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our investment policy establishes minimum ratings for institutions with which we hold cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as rating and concentration limits for marketable securities held. All material counterparties are considered creditworthy. While the concentration of credit risk may be significant, the credit risk for each counterparty is considered to be low. Our exposure to credit risk primarily relates to cash and cash equivalents. The credit risk on our bank deposits is limited because the counterparties holding significant deposits are banks with high credit-ratings (minimum A3/A-) assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position. The banks are reviewed on a regular basis and deposits may be transferred during the year to mitigate credit risk.

In order to mitigate the concentration of credit risks on bank deposits and to preserve capital, a portion of the bank deposits may be placed into marketable securities. Our investment policy, approved by the Board, only allows investment in marketable securities having investment grade credit-ratings, assigned by international credit-rating agencies. As of March 31, 2026, we do not hold marketable securities.

On each reporting date, we consider the risk of expected credit loss on bank deposits and marketable securities, if any, including the hypothetical impact arising from the probability of default, which is considered in conjunction with the expected loss caused by default by banks or securities with similar credit-ratings and attributes. In line with previous periods, this assessment did not reveal a material impairment loss, and accordingly no provision for expected credit loss has been recognized.

Equity Risk

We are exposed to the development in our share price, when remeasuring derivative liabilities at fair value.

Derivative liabilities relate to the foreign currency conversion option embedded in the convertible notes and are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or other observable inputs, and accordingly, derivative liabilities are measured by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, where the pricing is exposed to changes in our share price. Sensitivity analysis of derivative liabilities is disclosed in Note 11, “Financial Assets and Liabilities.”
