    Increased by 70.2% and Gross Profit Rose by 75.0% Year-over-Year

    Year-over-Year

SHANGHAI, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 111, Inc. (“111” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YI), a leading tech-enabled healthcare platform company committed to reshaping the value chain of healthcare industry by digitally empowering the upstream and downstream in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Net revenue amounted to RMB2.4 billion (US$342.4 million), representing a 33.1% decrease from RMB3.5 billion in the prior-year quarter. This decline was primarily attributable to the Company’s ongoing strategic transition toward a more asset-light and operationally efficient business model. As part of this initiative, the Company divested several underperforming subsidiaries last year and further optimized the fulfillment network through expanded warehouse partnership arrangements, enabling the transition to a warehouse partnership model—where recurring commission income will be generated rather than bearing operational and capital burdens. Meanwhile, total marketplace (MP) service revenue increased by 24.7% year-over-year, demonstrating growth of the Company’s marketplace service business and enhanced revenue quality.

  • Net revenue from promotional products amounted to RMB28.9 million, representing 70.2% year-over-year growth, accompanied by a 75.0% increase in gross profit. Furthermore, as of the current quarter, an increasing number of pharmaceutical companies have partnered with 111 to secure general distribution rights for products targeting small and medium-sized chain pharmacies, further strengthening the Company’s capabilities in brand building and market penetration. Among such products, “Cravit” has become the flagship offering, with sales growing from 84,000 boxes to 710,000 boxes year-over-year. This performance underscores the Company’s distinctive marketing expertise and has generated strong momentum for both upstream suppliers and downstream partners.

  • Fulfillment expenses were RMB61.2 million (US$8.9 million), representing a decrease of 34.6% from RMB93.6 million in the prior-year quarter. As a percentage of net revenue, fulfillment expenses improved to 2.6%, compared with 2.7% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued enhancement in operational efficiency and disciplined cost management.

(1) Promotional products are the Company’s core promoted pharmaceuticals featuring mainstream positioning and high gross margin.

Mr. Junling Liu, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of 111, commented, “During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to execute our strategic transition toward a more asset-light and platform-oriented operating model. The 24.7% year-over-year increase in total marketplace (MP) service revenue demonstrates steady progress of the strategic initiative and underscores our pursuit of high-quality, scalable and operationally efficient growth. Through ongoing SKU expansion, deeper collaboration with major third-party online platforms, and enhanced brand partnership strategies, our revenue of B2C business also achieved positive growth in this quarter.”

“Our promotional products have rapidly penetrated pharmacies nationwide via the 111 digital marketing platform, with the product lineup continuously expanding. Net revenue and gross profit from these products posted explosive year-over-year growth. Meanwhile, we are committed to securing general distribution rights for more pharmaceutical products like “Cravit” to consolidate market standing and maintain steady performance. This has proven to be a highly profitable and scalable business model, positioning us for sustained growth, and I look forward to sharing further progress and achievements in the coming quarters.”

“By optimizing our network and selectively exiting underperforming fulfillment centers, our fulfillment expenses declined by 34.6% year-over-year, outpacing the decrease in revenue. Meanwhile, fulfillment expenses as a percentage of net revenue improved by 10 basis points year-over-year, highlighting our capacity for sustained operational improvement and reflecting our commitment to prudent cost management.”

“Looking ahead, we believe these initiatives are gradually reshaping 111 from a transaction-driven pharmaceutical distributor into a more technology-enabled and intelligent healthcare platform business. We will continue to integrate AI-enabled capabilities across multiple operational scenarios, including intelligent demand forecasting, inventory optimization, fulfillment routing and merchant operation management. More importantly, we are deploying AI agent-based solutions in pharmacies and healthcare service scenarios to help customers better manage day-to-day operations. Leveraging a lean, intelligent operating model, we aim to expand margins, lift profitability and deliver long-term value to stakeholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The Company defines non-GAAP income from operations as income from operations excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax. The Company defines non-GAAP loss per ADS as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, net of tax per ADS. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that it includes in income from operations and net loss. Share-based compensation expenses is a non-cash expense that varies from period to period. As a result, management excludes the items from its internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that the adjustments for share-based compensation expenses provide investors with a reasonable basis to measure the company’s core operating performance, in a more meaningful comparison with the performance of other companies. The Company believes that non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, and non-GAAP loss per ADS provide useful information about its operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the management in their financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, or non-GAAP loss per ADS is that it does not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the Company’s operations. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures is included at the end of this press release.

Under a partnership with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), Alvotech is responsible for the development and manufacturing of AVT05 and AVT06, while Teva is responsible for commercialization.

The resubmissions follow the submission of Alvotech’s response to the FDA’s Post-Application Action Letter (PAAL) related to the company’s Reykjavik manufacturing facility. In addition, the company has submitted responses to observations from a routine cGMP surveillance FDA inspection at the facility, completed in May 2026, and has continued to strengthen its quality systems and manufacturing operations as part of its ongoing enhancement program.

The company expects the FDA to conduct a six-month review of the resubmitted applications, consistent with the applicable regulatory timelines.

AVT03, Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Prolia® and Xgeva® (denosumab), is partnered with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. which, as applicant, is responsible for the U.S. regulatory submission.

“These resubmissions represent an important milestone following extensive work across our manufacturing and quality organization,” said Lisa Graver, Chief Executive Officer of Alvotech. “We have worked closely with the FDA throughout this process, including responding to the agency’s Post-Application Action Letter and supporting a routine inspection of our Reykjavik facility in May. As previously disclosed, we believe the outcome of the recent inspection demonstrated the strong cGMP fundamentals of the site and the robustness of the improvements implemented since last year. We remain focused on execution, operational discipline and bringing high-quality biosimilars to patients worldwide.”

WellSpan Health and Philips Announce Landmark Strategic Alliance, Accelerating Innovation and Research Across Central Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland

June 4, 2026

Seven-year collaboration puts WellSpan at the forefront of diagnostics and imaging in community health through a groundbreaking research and innovation strategy aimed at shaping the future of care delivery

Amsterdam and YORK, Pa. – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and WellSpan Health, the leading health care system in Central Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland, today announced a landmark seven-year strategic alliance that establishes a new research and innovation collaboration and brings new advanced imaging and diagnostics technology products and platforms to patients across the region. The alliance is the latest addition to WellSpan’s growing innovation ecosystem, positioning the system as a national leader in the application of artificial intelligence and technology in health care.

“As WellSpan has grown in clinical capability, so has our responsibility to be more intentional about how we plan, deploy and support the life-saving technology our teams and patients rely on,” said Roxanna Gapstur, Ph.D., R.N., WellSpan president and CEO. “This collaboration gives us that foundation, bringing consistency and coordination across our entire system, advancing digital and AI-enabled care and building a leading research and co-development platform that will transform the future of health care. Community health systems like WellSpan are where most Americans receive care, and we are proving they belong at the center of health care innovation.”

The collaboration includes a research agreement and joint innovation strategy, the first of its kind between Philips and a U.S. community health system, which will focus on validating the performance of new tools and technology. Research is expected to examine how AI and digital tools are improving throughput, cost and workflow efficiency, aimed at advancing WellSpan’s commitment to reclaim more than half a million hours of workforce time annually.

In addition, the innovation component of this relationship will allow WellSpan, together with Philips Research, to co-develop net-new products and features that advance care delivery. This work will draw on Philips’ R&D pipeline to design and develop future generations of health care technology, with WellSpan serving as both a proving ground and a co-creator.

A long-term commercial agreement establishes Philips as WellSpan’s preferred vendor across all applicable imaging modalities (CT, MR, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and image-guided therapy). The agreement covers all 12 WellSpan hospitals, as well as its diagnostic imaging centers and ambulatory surgery centers, ensuring a consistent experience for patients wherever they need care. A defining feature of the commercial agreement is its structured approach to technology lifecycle management: WellSpan and Philips will align equipment, service, training and upgrade planning under a single coordinated framework, enabling more consistent imaging availability across sites, reducing gaps in access for patients and laying the foundation for continued innovation.

“This collaboration builds on a long-standing relationship between Philips and WellSpan, and it also marks an important evolution in how we work together,” said Roy Jakobs, CEO, Royal Philips. “By combining our health technology leadership with WellSpan’s clinical expertise and research focus, we’re creating a long-term alliance designed to drive measurable improvements in patient care quality, operational performance and innovation. Together, we’re establishing a scalable, AI-driven, platform-based approach that supports clinicians today while shaping how care is delivered in the future.”

Kennedy Wilson and APG Form €2 Billion Residential Joint Venture to Develop and Manage over 3,400 Private Rented Homes in Ireland

Platform to develop three sites in Dublin, delivering approximately 2,300 new homes

DUBLIN, Ireland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Kennedy Wilson (NYSE: KW), a global real estate investment company, announces the formation of a new residential joint venture with APG, on behalf of, amongst others, Dutch pension fund ABP, one of the world’s largest pension investors, to create a €2 billion residential development and asset management platform. The venture will encompass more than 3,400 private rented homes across both operating and development assets, further strengthening Kennedy Wilson’s position as the leader in residential real estate in the Irish market. Upon completion of the developments, Kennedy Wilson’s owned and managed Irish portfolio will extend to approximately 6,900 residential units.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260604996457/en/

Player Wills - Dublin, Ireland

Player Wills – Dublin, Ireland

A Platform Built for Scale

The joint venture comprises two complementary investment opportunities. The first sees Kennedy Wilson acquire a minority equity interest in APG’s existing Cherrywood portfolio in south Dublin, one of Ireland’s largest multi-family communities. The over 1,100-unit portfolio is already fully developed and occupied, and APG will retain a majority interest. The second will also see Kennedy Wilson acquire a minority equity interest in, and develop and deliver, approximately 2,300 new private rented sector units across the Player Wills, Bailey Gibson and Clonliffe sites.

Development of Player Wills, Bailey Gibson and Clonliffe Sites

Once developed, all three sites will transform long-derelict industrial and institutional land in established Dublin neighbourhoods into vibrant new residential communities. Each site holds full planning permission, with construction commencing immediately on over 700 units at the former Player Wills cigarette factory on the South Circular Road in Dublin 8. Construction on the remaining 1,500+ units across the Bailey Gibson and Clonliffe schemes is expected to commence early 2027.

John Keegan, Head of Capital Formation, EMEA at Kennedy Wilson, commented: “This joint venture marks a significant milestone for Kennedy Wilson in Ireland and represents a compelling opportunity to partner with one of the world’s largest pension funds to deliver much-needed private rental homes at scale. These developments span from the regeneration of former industrial sites at Player Wills and Bailey Gibson to the landmark Clonliffe development. They are all projects that will transform communities, create lasting amenities for local residents, and make a meaningful contribution to supporting Ireland’s housing delivery targets.

“As a long-term investor in Ireland over the past 15 years, we are proud to have been one of the most active developers and asset managers in Ireland, delivering more than 1,800 homes in Dublin and having stewardship for a portfolio of approximately 3,500 owned units today. Our proven track record of delivery, combined with our ambition to further grow this platform through future development, reflects our continued confidence in the Irish market and Kennedy Wilson’s long-term commitment to Ireland.”

Robert-Jan Foortse, Head of Real Estate Europe, APG, commented: “We are pleased to enter into this partnership with Kennedy Wilson, marking an important next step for APG in Ireland and reflecting our continued conviction in the Irish residential market. Building on the strong progress we have seen at Cherrywood, this portfolio and pipeline can deliver high-quality homes at scale, help transform neighborhoods and contribute to vibrant, sustainable communities in a market with acute demand for housing.

“We believe long-term institutional capital like ours can play an important role in supporting the delivery of well-managed housing and creating places where people want to live. For our pension fund clients and their participants, this is the type of long-term residential investment we seek, combining attractive financial fundamentals with meaningful social relevance, with the latter further cementing the long-term resilience of the former.”

Pharming announces U.S. FDA acceptance of sNDA resubmission for Joenja® (leniolisib) to treat children aged 4 to 11 years with APDS

  • If approved, Joenja will be the first approved treatment in the U.S. for children with activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS), a rare primary immunodeficiency
  • Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) resubmission seeks approval for 40 mg and 50 mg twice-daily dosing
  • Separate sNDA for lower weight pediatric patients planned for second half 2026

Leiden, the Netherlands, June 4, 2026: Pharming Group (Euronext: PHARM; Nasdaq: PHAR) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted its resubmitted supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) seeking approval for Joenja® (leniolisib), an oral, selective phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor, as a treatment for children aged 4 to 11 years with activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS), a rare primary immunodeficiency. Following the Complete Response Letter (CRL) received on January 30, 2026, and a subsequent Type A meeting with the FDA on March 26, 2026, the resubmission seeks approval of 40 mg and 50 mg twice-daily dosing for pediatric patients weighing 27 kg or more, who represent a meaningful proportion of the identified pediatric patient population. The resubmission includes additional data requested by the FDA on analytical methods used for production batch testing. The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of October 24, 2026.

A separate sNDA seeking approval for lower doses for patients weighing less than 27 kg is planned for this summer.

Fabrice Chouraqui, Chief Executive Officer of Pharming, commented:

“We are pleased that the FDA has accepted our resubmission, bringing us one step closer to potentially making Joenja available to younger patients living with APDS. These young patients and their families continue to face the significant burden of this rare disease, and there is a clear need for an approved targeted treatment. We look forward to the continued collaboration with the FDA to help bring Joenja to the broader pediatric APDS population as quickly as possible.”

The resubmission is supported by positive data from the open-label, multinational, single-arm Phase III study in children aged 4 to 11 years, which showed improvements over 12 weeks in two clinically relevant hallmarks of APDS, reduced lymphadenopathy and increased naïve B cells, together indicating a correction of the underlying immune defect. The improvements in lymphoproliferation and immunophenotype correction were seen across all dose levels investigated and were consistent with the improvements previously reported in adolescent and adult patients. All treatment emergent adverse events were reported to be mild to moderate in nature. There were no drug related serious adverse events, and all patients completed the 12-week treatment period.

Joenja received approval from the FDA for the treatment of APDS in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older in March 2023.

About Activated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase δ Syndrome (APDS) 

APDS is a rare primary immunodeficiency that was first characterized in 2013. APDS is caused by variants in either one of two identified genes known as PIK3CD or PIK3R1, which are vital to the development and function of immune cells in the body. Variants of these genes lead to hyperactivity of the PI3Kδ (phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta) pathway, which causes immune cells to fail to mature and function properly, leading to immunodeficiency and dysregulation.1,2,3 APDS is characterized by a variety of symptoms, including severe, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity, and enteropathy.4,5 Because these symptoms can be associated with a variety of conditions, including other primary immunodeficiencies, it has been reported that people with APDS are frequently misdiagnosed and suffer a median 7-year diagnostic delay.6 As APDS is a progressive disease, this delay may lead to an accumulation of damage over time, including permanent lung damage and lymphoma.4-7 A definitive diagnosis can be made through genetic testing. APDS affects approximately 1 to 2 people per million worldwide.8

About leniolisib

Leniolisib is an oral small molecule phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kẟ) inhibitor approved as the first and only targeted treatment of activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) syndrome (APDS) in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Israel in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older and in Japan for patients 4 years of age and older. Leniolisib inhibits the production of phosphatidylinositol-3-4-5-trisphosphate, which serves as an important cellular messenger and regulates a multitude of cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation, cytokine production, cell survival, angiogenesis, and metabolism. Results from a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the coprimary endpoints, reflecting a favorable impact on the immune dysregulation and deficiency seen in these patients, and open label extension data has supported the safety and tolerability of long-term leniolisib administration.9,10

EULAR 2026: Dapirolizumab Pegol Shows Potential to Reduce Flare Rates and Maintain Disease Control in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

  • Steroid use reduction and disease control: In additional results from the Phase 3 PHOENYCS GO study, dapirolizumab pegol (DZP) plus standard of care was associated with sustained disease control at lower glucocorticoid doses through Week 48 compared with placebo plus standard of care, supporting reduced long-term steroid exposure
  • Reduced flare rates and immune marker improvements: In other findings presented at EULAR 2026, improvements in immunological markers and reduced flare rates were observed, supporting the potential of dapirolizumab pegol to address the complex burden of SLE

BRUSSELS, Belgium and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UCB (Euronext Brussels: UCB) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) today announced data, comprising two posters and three abstracts, at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2026 Congress, demonstrating the clinical profile of dapirolizumab pegol (DZP), an investigational biologic in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs, including skin, joints and kidneys, often requiring long-term treatment to control disease activity.1 Patients with SLE frequently experience flares, transient worsening of disease activity that can lead to permanent organ damage, increased morbidity, and even early mortality.2 Many patients rely on steroid-based therapy to manage flares; however, prolonged steroid use is associated with significant cumulative toxicity, making steroid tapering while maintaining disease control a key goal in SLE management.3,4

“Achieving and maintaining durable disease control while reducing glucocorticoid exposure is one of the central challenges in managing SLE,” said Megan E. B. Clowse, M.D., MPH, Chief of the Division of Rheumatology and Immunology, Duke University, and primary author of the PHOENYCS GO primary results. “The Phase 3 PHOENYCS GO data showed patients receiving dapirolizumab pegol were more likely to maintain disease control while tapering steroids – an important finding given strong evidence that cumulative steroid exposure and uncontrolled disease activity are major drivers of organ damage accrual, morbidity and mortality in SLE.”

Post hoc analyses displayed in one of the posters from the PHOENYCS GO program showed that, in patients with baseline glucocorticoid dose >7.5 mg/day prednisone equivalent, treatment with DZP plus standard of care was associated with a higher proportion of patients achieving control of disease activity while enabling glucocorticoid tapering to ≤7.5 mg/day through Week 48, compared with placebo plus standard of care.5 Importantly, these findings suggest that higher proportions of patients receiving DZP plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care achieved sustained glucocorticoid tapering while also achieving BICLA response, achieving SRI-4 response, or remaining free from moderate or severe BILAG-2004 flares through Week 48.5

“At UCB, our mission is to help improve the lives of people living with serious inflammatory diseases by advancing therapies that address unmet needs,” said Donatello Crocetta, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Medical Affairs at UCB. “These data showed the potential of dapirolizumab pegol to reduce long-term glucocorticoid use while maintaining disease control, an important goal for people living with SLE and the clinicians who care for them.”

Additional EULAR 2026 presentations highlighted the breadth of data from the PHOENYCS GO program, including:

  • Improvements in key immunological markers, including reduced anti-dsDNA antibodies and increased complement proteins C3 and C4 in patients with abnormal levels at baseline (Poster POS1364).6
  • Lower rates of moderate or moderate/severe BILAG-2004 flares with DZP plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care through Week 48, using alternative definitions of flares to increase measurement sensitivity (Abstract AB1163).7
  • Insights into how symptoms and flares are assessed in SLE, including fatigue as a burdensome patient-reported symptom that can be difficult to capture in clinical trials (Abstracts AB1184 and AB1125).8,9

Together, these findings support the importance of tools that can measure patient experience and help inform more meaningful assessment of disease impact in both clinical practice and research.8,9

“Systemic lupus erythematosus is a biologically complex disease, and these EULAR data further characterize dapirolizumab pegol’s impact across clinical, biological and patient-reported outcomes,” said Diana Gallagher, MD, Head of Immunology, MS and Alzheimer’s Development Units at Biogen. “Delivering this data reflects the strength of the UCB and Biogen collaboration and our shared commitment to advancing evidence that may help address the complex and multifaceted needs of people living with SLE.”

The EULAR data follow the recent publication of the Phase 3 PHOENYCS GO study in The Lancet, reporting clinically meaningful improvements in disease activity with dapirolizumab pegol at Week 48.10 In the Phase 3 PHOENYCS GO study, DZP demonstrated a generally favorable safety profile, with safety findings consistent with previous DZP studies.10,11 Treatment-emergent adverse events were more common with DZP plus standard of care versus placebo plus standard of care, while serious treatment-emergent adverse events were less frequent in the DZP plus standard of care arm, and discontinuations due to treatment-emergent adverse events were low in both groups.10

About Dapirolizumab Pegol

Dapirolizumab pegol is a novel investigational humanized Fc-free polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated antigen-binding (Fab’) fragment.11 Dapirolizumab pegol inhibits CD40L signaling, which has been shown to reduce B-cell activation and autoantibody production, mitigate type 1 interferon (IFN) secretion and attenuate T-cell and antigen-presenting cell (APC) activation.11 Dapirolizumab pegol is presently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) under a collaboration between UCB and Biogen.12,13

Dapirolizumab pegol is an investigational biologic currently in clinical development. The safety and efficacy have not been established, and it is not approved by any health authority worldwide.

Forward-looking Statements – UCB

This document contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements containing the words “potential”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “may”, “will”, “continue” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and beliefs of management. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial information, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices and other such estimates and results. By their nature, such forward-looking statements are not guaranteeing future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions which might cause the actual results, financial condition, performance or achievements of UCB, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this document.

Important factors that could result in such differences include but are not limited to: global spread and impacts of wars, pandemics and terrorism, the general geopolitical environment, climate change, changes in general economic, business and competitive conditions, the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or to obtain them on acceptable terms or within expected timing, costs associated with research and development, changes in the prospects for products in the pipeline or under development by UCB, effects of future judicial decisions or governmental investigations, safety, quality, data integrity or manufacturing issues, supply chain disruption and business continuity risks; potential or actual data security and data privacy breaches, or disruptions of UCB’s information technology systems, product liability claims, challenges to patent protection for products or product candidates, competition from other products including biosimilars or disruptive technologies/business models, changes in laws or regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, changes or uncertainties in laws and/or rules pertaining to tax and duties or the administration of such laws and/or rules, and hiring, retention and compliance of employees. There is no guarantee that new product candidates will be discovered or identified in the pipeline, or that new indications for existing products will be developed and approved. Movement from concept to commercial product is uncertain; preclinical results do not guarantee safety and efficacy of product candidates in humans. So far, the complexity of the human body cannot be reproduced in computer models, cell culture systems or animal models. The length of the timing to complete clinical trials and to get regulatory approval for product marketing has varied in the past and UCB expects similar unpredictability going forward. Products or potential products which are the subject of partnerships, joint ventures or licensing collaborations may be subject to disputes between the partners or may prove to be not as safe, effective or commercially successful as UCB may have believed at the start of such partnership. UCB’s efforts to acquire other products or companies and to integrate the operations of such acquired companies may not be as successful as UCB may have believed at the moment of acquisition. Also, UCB or others could discover safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with its products and/or devices after they are marketed. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of UCB’s products that implicate an entire class of products may have a material adverse effect on sales of the entire class of affected products. Moreover, sales may be impacted by international and domestic trends toward managed care and health care cost containment, including pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, and the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers as well as legislation affecting biopharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement activities and outcomes. Finally, a breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of UCB’s data and systems.

Given these uncertainties, the public is cautioned not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this document, and do not reflect any potential impacts from the evolving event or risk as mentioned above as well as any other adversity, unless indicated otherwise. The company continues to follow the development diligently to assess the financial significance of these events, as the case may be, to UCB.

UCB expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this document, either to confirm the actual results or to report or reflect any change in its forward-looking statements with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, unless such statement is required pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

About Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining Company

The Sunshine Mine is one of the highest-grade primary silver resources in the world, and the Company is one of the few U.S.-based entities with a vertically integrated mine-to-mill-to-refinery platform, supported by a permitted onsite silver refinery and the major permits required for antimony production.
