Over the last two years, PGEN’s earnings releases have traced its evolution from development-stage to commercial-stage around PAPZIMEOS. Earlier updates in 2024 and early 2025 focused on PRGN-2012 clinical data, BLA progress, and financing to extend cash runway. By Q3 2025, updates highlighted FDA full approval and early commercialization metrics, which drew a strong positive share-price response. Today’s full-year 2025 results continue that narrative with first product revenue and a shift toward commercial execution.

"With the FDA approval and launch of PAPZIMEOS, 2025 marked a transformational year for Precigen as we transitioned from a clinical-stage to a commercial-stage company and recognized our first commercial product revenues toward the end of the year," said Helen Sabzevari, PhD, President and CEO of Precigen. "We are seeing strong alignment within the physician community around PAPZIMEOS as the first-line standard of care for adults with RRP, supported by its profile as the only approved therapy for RRP, the compelling safety and efficacy data, and the encouraging durability of response observed to date.

KEY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
PAPZIMEOS: Establishing a New Standard of Care for the Treatment of Adults with RRP
- PAPZIMEOS full approval with broad label: In August 2025, the FDA granted full approval of PAPZIMEOS with a broad label for the treatment of adults with RRP.
- PAPZIMEOS prescribing, treatment, and distribution: Since full deployment of the PAPZIMEOS field team in September 2025,
100% of target medical institutions have been engaged. PAPZIMEOS is now being prescribed nationwide across both major medical centers and community practices, with patients spanning a range of disease severities actively receiving treatment. - Strong patient and physician demand: To date, PAPZIMEOS patient hub enrollment has surpassed 300 registered patients, reflecting substantial patient and physician demand. In addition to these registered patients, a significant number of patients have been identified outside of the PAPZIMEOS hub through the Company's field engagement efforts.
- Positive payer coverage: Patient access continues to expand, with private health plan coverage now estimated at approximately 215 million US lives, including the significant majority of leading insurers. PAPZIMEOS is also covered under Medicare and Medicaid. Collectively, coverage now extends to approximately
90% of insured lives in the US. - J-code assigned: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has assigned a permanent J-code, J3404, to PAPZIMEOS, effective April 1, 2026. J-codes are standardized reimbursement codes that allow healthcare providers to bill government and commercial insurers for physician-administered therapies. Assignment of a permanent J-code streamlines claims processing and will likely facilitate broader patient access.
- PAPZIMEOS recommended as new standard of care first-line treatment: In January 2026, an expert consensus paper sponsored and published by the Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Foundation and authored by 16 leading physicians in the field of RRP recommended PAPZIMEOS as the new standard of care first-line treatment for adults with RRP in the US.
- Compelling long-term clinical and real-world evidence published: At AAO-HNSF 2025, SITC 2025, and EUROGIN 2026, the Company presented long-term durable complete responses with PAPZIMEOS, and at ISPOR Europe 2025, the Company published data demonstrating the substantial healthcare resource utilization and patient-reported quality-of-life burden of RRP, underscoring the disease's significant clinical, economic, and human impact.
- Redosing study initiated: The Company initiated an open-label study to evaluate safety, vector shedding, and retreatment efficacy of zopapogene imadenovec in adults with RRP (clinical trial identifier: NCT06538480).
- MAA under review by the EMA: Following submission in November 2025, the Marketing Authorization Application for PAPZIMEOS for the treatment of adults with RRP was validated by the European Medicines Agency and is under review. PAPZIMEOS was granted orphan drug designation by the European Commission.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
"2025 was a game-changing year for Precigen with the FDA approval of PAPZIMEOS. We began preparing for the commercial launch of PAPZIMEOS well before the FDA's approval and significantly increased our investment in commercialization efforts as 2025 progressed to support the successful launch of PAPZIMEOS," said Harry Thomasian Jr., Chief Financial Officer of Precigen. "Our first sale of PAPZIMEOS was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025 and we are encouraged by continued revenue momentum we're seeing as we begin the new year. Based upon our present forecast, we expect our current cash position and anticipated cash to be received from PAPZIMEOS sales will fund operations through cash flow break-even by the end of 2026, representing a strong financial foundation as we continue to execute on our commercial and strategic objectives."
