AN2 Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Recent Highlights

Sufficient patients in screening expected to complete enrollment in Phase 2 portion of pivotal Phase 2/3 study of epetraborole in treatment-refractory Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease

Expected initiation of Phase 3 portion of pivotal Phase 2/3 study in September

AN2 Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments for rare, chronic, and serious infectious diseases with high unmet needs, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“We’re pleased with the accelerated pace of enrollment in our pivotal Phase 2/3 study evaluating epetraborole for treatment-refractory MAC lung disease and believe we currently have sufficient patients in screening to initiate Phase 3 next month, immediately after we complete enrollment in the Phase 2 portion of the study. Continued momentum in the Asia-Pacific region coupled with the modifications we made to our clinical trial protocol had a positive impact on study enrollment,” said Eric Easom, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With over $95 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from the at-the-market transaction closed during the quarter, we believe we are capitalized through the expected data readout of the Phase 2 portion of our pivotal trial and through the end of 2024. We remain committed to our vision of developing therapeutics to treat rare, chronic, and serious infectious diseases in areas of high unmet medical need.”

Selected Second Quarter Financial Results

• Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period during 2022 due to increased clinical trial expenses, personnel-related expenses, chemistry manufacturing and controls costs and other expenses, partially offset by lower preclinical and research study expenses.
• General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period during 2022 due to a decrease in insurance costs and professional service fees.
• Other Income, Net: Other income, net was $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.2 million in the prior year.
• Net loss: Net loss was $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $10.1 million in the prior year.
• Cash Position: On June 26, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,502,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share under its existing at-the-market offering. This resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $20 million. The Company expects that current cash, cash equivalents and investments of $95.3 million at June 30, 2023, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses through the expected data readout of the Phase 2 portion of its pivotal Phase 2/3 trial in treatment-refractory MAC lung disease and through the end of 2024.
