Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

MIAMI, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH) (together with NCL Corporation Ltd. (“NCLC”), “Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings”, “Norwegian”, “NCLH” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 and provided guidance for the second quarter and full year 2026.


Highlights

  • First quarter total revenue grew 10% to $2.3 billion. GAAP net income was $105 million, with EPS of $0.23.
  • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA1 of $533 million in first quarter 2026, exceeding guidance, and representing an increase of 18% compared to 2025. Adjusted Net Income more than doubled to $108 million. Adjusted EPS increased $0.13 to $0.23.
  • Company lowered full year 2026 guidance with Adjusted EPS expected to be $1.45 to $1.79.
  • Company took delivery of Norwegian Luna, featuring an exceptional collection of venues and experiences, including its latest in house production ELTON: A Celebration of Elton John™.
  • Announced Board refreshment with the appointment of five new independent directors effective March 31, 2026, further strengthening the Company’s governance and shareholder value focus.
  • Executed targeted initiatives to enhance its SG&A profile, generating approximately $125 million of expected annualized run-rate savings.

“We delivered strong first quarter results, and more importantly we have already begun taking decisive actions to strengthen execution and accountability across the company, which will enhance results over the longer term,” said John W. Chidsey, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “During the quarter, we acted with urgency to simplify, optimize, and streamline the organization, including executing SG&A savings initiatives totaling $125 million in expected run rate savings. These are long-term structural actions that we believe will help offset near-term pressures and position the business for stronger performance over time. As we move through the year, we will continue to manage costs and focus on revenue growth to align resources with the high-growth, high value areas of the business. I remain confident and encouraged that we are building a leaner, more effective and nimble organization that positions NCLH for sustainable long-term value creation.”


First Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Generated total revenue of $2.3 billion, a 10% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by increased Capacity Days. GAAP net income was $104.7 million compared to $(40.3) million in the prior year, with EPS of $0.23.
  • Gross margin per Capacity Day increased 4.0% versus 2025 on an as reported basis and increased 2.6% on a Constant Currency basis. Net Yield decreased approximately 0.3% on an as reported basis and 1.0% on a Constant Currency basis, above our guidance of a decline of 1.6%.
  • Gross Cruise Costs per Capacity Day was approximately $287, compared to $297 in the prior year. Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day was approximately $169 on an as reported basis and $168 on a Constant Currency basis, and was down 0.2% on an as reported basis and 1.0% on a Constant Currency basis compared to $169 in 2025, better than guidance.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 18% to $533 million, compared to $453 million in 2025, exceeding guidance of ~$515 million. Adjusted EPS increased 121% to $0.23, exceeding guidance of ~$0.16.


2026 Full Year Outlook

The Company is experiencing headwinds related to disruptions in the Middle East, including higher fuel expense and signs of softer demand as consumers reevaluate travel plans, particularly to Europe. As previously noted, the Company entered 2026 behind its targeted booking curve, and these headwinds have hindered the Company’s ability to accelerate bookings and close that gap. These external pressures come as the Company continues to enhance its revenue management system and improve execution, resulting in additional pressure on the business and a reduction in its full year guidance. A summary of the updated full year guidance is provided below:

  • 2026 full year Net Yield on a Constant Currency basis is expected to be down approximately 3% to 5% versus 2025.
  • 2026 Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day is expected to be approximately flat on a Constant Currency basis versus 2025, reflecting better-than-previously-guided performance driven by workforce optimization and other SG&A savings.
  • 2026 full year Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $2.48 billion to $2.64 billion.
  • Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin for the full year 2026 is expected to be 32.9% to 34.3%.
  • Full year Adjusted Net Income is expected to be approximately $679 million to $838 million. Adjusted EPS is expected to be $1.45 to $1.79.


Q2 2026 Outlook

  • Q2 2026 Net Yield on a Constant Currency basis is expected to decline approximately 3.6% versus 2025.
  • Q2 2026 Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day is expected to grow approximately 1.0% on a Constant Currency basis versus 2025.
  • Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $632 million and Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin for the quarter is expected to be approximately 32.5%.


Booking Environment Update

The Company remains below its optimal booking range following certain execution missteps, exacerbated by softer demand related to heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Recent events related to the conflict in the Middle East have impacted bookings across all three brands, especially in Europe during the summer season. While the near-term environment remains challenging, the Company is taking targeted actions to better align commercial strategy, including marketing, with deployment and revenue management, with the benefits of these actions expected to materialize gradually over time.


Liquidity and Financial Position

The Company is committed to optimizing its balance sheet and reducing Net Leverage. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total debt of $15.2 billion and Net Debt of $15.0 billion. Net Leverage ended the quarter at 5.3x.

As of March 31, 2026, liquidity was $1.6 billion including approximately $185.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.4 billion of availability under our Revolving Loan Facility.

“During the quarter we delivered better-than-expected cost performance across the business,” said Mark A. Kempa, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “As we navigate a more uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, we are acting diligently to offset those pressures through targeted SG&A savings and broader efficiency initiatives. Based on the actions taken during the quarter, we now expect full year Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel to be approximately flat to last year, which should help support margins as we continue to strengthen execution across the business.”


Outlook and Guidance

In addition to announcing the results for the first quarter of 2026, the Company also provided guidance for the second quarter and full year 2026, along with accompanying sensitivities, subject to changes in the broad macroeconomic environment. The Company does not provide certain estimated future results on a GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future movement of foreign exchange rates or the future impact of certain gains and charges. These items are uncertain and will depend on several factors, including industry conditions, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not provided reconciliations between the Company’s 2026 guidance and the most directly comparable GAAP measures because it would be too difficult to prepare a reliable U.S. GAAP quantitative reconciliation without unreasonable effort.

__________________________

(1) Based on guidance and using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 467 million for the second quarter of 2026 and 468 million for full year 2026.
(2) Second quarter 2026 and full year 2026 guidance assumes the Company’s 2027 Exchangeable Notes are dilutive and therefore are included in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, the price of NCLH’s ordinary shares did not exceed the conversion price related to the Company’s 2030 Exchangeable Notes, and therefore, there was no impact to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding considered for the second quarter and full year 2026 guidance.
(3) Interest expense excluding debt extinguishment and modification costs. Based on the Company’s March 31, 2026 outstanding variable rate debt balance, a one percentage point increase in annual SOFR interest rates would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $14 million excluding the effects of the capitalization of interest.
(4) Impact from changes in foreign exchange rates only considers the impact that foreign exchange rate movements could have on our revenues and operating costs.
   

The following reflects the foreign currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2026 that the Company used in its second quarter and full year 2026 guidance.

Australian Dollar   $ 0.69
Canadian Dollar   $ 0.72
       


Fuel

The Company reported fuel expense of $169 million in the quarter. Fuel price per metric ton, net of hedges decreased to $651 from $687 in 2025. Fuel consumption of 259,000 metric tons was slightly below projections. The following reflects the Company’s expectations regarding fuel consumption and pricing, along with accompanying sensitivities:

               
    Second Quarter 2026   Full Year 2026  
Fuel consumption in metric tons1     251,000     1,020,000  
Fuel price per metric ton, net of hedges2   $ 860   $ 782  
Effect on Adjusted EPS of a 10% change in fuel prices, net of hedges   $ 0.03   $ 0.08  

__________________________

(1) Total fuel consumption for the full year 2026 is expected to be comprised mainly of heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil, as well as other fuel types.
(2) Fuel prices are based on spot rates as of April 28th.
   

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had hedged approximately 51% and 28% of its total projected metric tons of fuel consumption for 2026, and 2027, respectively. We primarily hedge heavy fuel oil (“HFO”) and marine gas oil (“MGO”). Other fuel types are unhedged. The following table provides amounts hedged and prices per metric ton:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Gross Margin, Net Yield, Net Cruise Cost, Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, to enable us to analyze our performance. See “Terminology” for the definitions of these and other non-GAAP financial measures. We utilize Adjusted Gross Margin and Net Yield to manage our business on a day-to-day basis because they reflect revenue earned net of certain direct variable costs. We also utilize Net Cruise Cost and Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. In measuring our ability to control costs in a manner that positively impacts net income, we believe changes in Adjusted Gross Margin, Net Yield, Net Cruise Cost and Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel to be the most relevant indicators of our performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a supplemental financial measure as it is used by management to assess operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure in determining our performance as it reflects certain operating drivers of our business, such as sales growth, operating costs, marketing, general and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for our incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under GAAP nor is it intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income as it does not take into account certain requirements such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments and tax payments and it includes other supplemental adjustments.

In addition, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts and are used to supplement GAAP net income (loss) and EPS. We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as key performance measures of our earnings performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparison to our historical performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EPS as a performance measure for our incentive compensation. The amounts excluded in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from period to period; accordingly, our presentation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of future adjustments or results. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had an expense of $12.2 million related to restructuring costs. We included this as an adjustment in the reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income since the loss is not representative of our day-to-day operations, and this adjustment did not occur and is not included in the comparative period presented within this release.

In 2025 and 2026, we drew down on euro-denominated debt for three newbuilds that is primarily unhedged, and we expect to take delivery of ships that have euro-denominated debt in the future. Due to the significant increase in our euro-denominated debt in 2025 and 2026 and the fact that a substantial portion of our debt is in dollars, we have included the related net foreign currency remeasurement losses as a supplemental adjustment in our calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. To ensure comparability, we have retrospectively applied this adjustment to the corresponding periods in 2025, using a consistent methodology. The quantitative impact of these adjustments is presented in the accompanying reconciliation tables here and in the first quarter 2026 earnings presentation. Non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares are calculated using the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of restricted share units and options and the if-converted method to calculate the effect of convertible instruments. This is the same methodology that is used when calculating GAAP diluted weighted-average shares. However, the determination of whether the shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive is made independently on a GAAP and non-GAAP net income or loss basis, and therefore, the number of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for GAAP and non-GAAP may be different.

You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment used in calculating our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we consider our non-GAAP financial measures appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in our presentation. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other companies. Please see a historical reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure presented in our consolidated financial statements below.

Parsons Awarded Contract To Support The Boring Company’s Innovative Dubai Loop Program

CHANTILLY, Va., May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) has been awarded a contract by The Boring Company (TBC) to provide professional services in support of the Dubai Loop project, an underground transportation initiative being developed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This 9-month contract represents new work for Parsons.

Under the contract, Parsons will act as TBC’s delegated program manager, supporting design-build activities for the project. As part of this agreement, Parsons will provide integrated services, directly supporting TBC with Independent Design Verification, Stakeholder Management, Permitting and NOC Support for the Dubai Loop pilot phase. Parsons will also conduct multidisciplinary reviews of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, and utility designs.

“Parsons has proudly played a central role in developing some of the most important and prestigious critical infrastructure programs across the UAE since our first programs there in the 1980s,” said Pierre Santoni, president, Infrastructure EMEA at Parsons. “From roads, bridges, and tunnels, to airports, railways, and urban developments, our team has delivered superior quality, integrity and innovation on every single project from day one. Our agreement with TBC reflects the directives of the UAE’s leadership to strengthen strategic partnerships with leading global innovators and accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies to support the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Parsons will ensure all designs are technically robust, fully compliant with local regulations, and efficiently progressed to support safe, reliable, and integrated mobility across the Emirate.”

”We are excited to collaborate with Parsons on the Dubai Loop project as we bring next-generation underground transportation solutions to Dubai,” said Jim Fitzgerald, Global Vice President of Business Development, The Boring Company. “The Dubai Loop is designed to redefine urban mobility through fast, efficient, and scalable underground transport. By partnering with Parsons, we combine innovative tunneling technology with strong regional expertise and a proven track record in major infrastructure delivery. This collaboration will help accelerate progress, ensure effective stakeholder alignment, and bring this vision to life in one of the world’s most forward-thinking cities.”

In partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transit Authority (RTA), TBC has been tasked with delivering the Dubai Loop, a multi-phased passenger transport tunnel project comprised of multiple tunnels and stations aimed at expanding Dubai’s transport ecosystem and offering an additional mode of transport to residents in, and visitors to, the city. Parsons already works extensively with the RTA, having supported the organization with key transportation infrastructure projects in the Emirate since its inception in 2005. These include groundbreaking projects such as the Dubai Metro Red and Green Line, the Dubai Metro Route 2020 expansion, the Dubai Intelligent Traffic Systems Center, the iconic Infinity Bridge, and more than 100 highway, bridge and tunnel projects across the Emirate.

Parsons has planned, designed, and managed more than 250 complex tunneling projects and the company’s road and highway experience spans more than 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) across six continents. With a presence in EMEA spanning nearly 70 years, Parsons brings deep domain expertise across project and program management, urban development, transportation (including rail, metro, aviation, roads, and ports), smart mobility, asset management, and master planning.

DevvStream Named Exclusive Partner to PLN Indonesia Power for Carbon Credit Management of Indonesian Solar Portfolio; Provides Corporate Financing Update

DevvStream Named Exclusive Partner to PLN Indonesia Power for Carbon Credit Management of Indonesian Solar Portfolio; Provides Corporate Financing Update

CALGARY, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
DevvStream Corp. (Nasdaq: DEVS) (“DevvStream” or the “Company”), a carbon management and environmental-asset monetization firm, today announced a definitive, exclusive agreement with PT PLN Indonesia Power (“PLN Indonesia Power” or “PLN IP”), a sub-holding of Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, PT PLN (Persero), giving DevvStream exclusive rights and title to carbon credits resulting from PLN IP’s solar plant operations. Under the agreement, DevvStream will manage the creation, validation, certification, registration, storage, security and liquidation of PLN IP’s carbon credits. Potential revenue generated from carbon credit sales will be shared between DevvStream and PLN IP.

Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest economy and the world’s fourth-most populous country, with more than 283 million people across more than 17,000 islands. Through PT PLN (Persero), Indonesia’s electricity system serves more than 96 million customers, positioning PLN among the world’s largest utilities by customer count.

The agreement is aligned with Indonesia’s accelerating clean-energy agenda. Indonesia has outlined a national initiative targeting up to 100 GW of new solar capacity, while PLN IP has publicly stated that it manages approximately 22.1 GW of generation capacity across Indonesia. For this initial agreement, DevvStream and PLN IP have identified a portfolio of 45 solar power plants throughout Indonesia.

“PLN Indonesia Power is one of the most significant electricity operators in one of the world’s most important energy markets, and this agreement positions DevvStream as its exclusive partner for environmental asset creation and monetization across the identified solar portfolio,” said Sunny Trinh, Chief Executive Officer of DevvStream. “We spent considerable time demonstrating our validation, certification, registry and lifecycle capabilities before this agreement was finalized, and we believe that process reflects exactly what DevvStream was built to do: help major energy partners convert verifiable environmental outcomes into high-integrity, monetizable assets.”

“This partnership expands DevvStream’s footprint as a premier environmental asset developer in Asia and highlights our core operating strategy,” added Scott Harrington, DevvStream’s Head of APAC. “With a revenue-sharing structure that requires no upfront infrastructure CAPEX from DevvStream, we believe this agreement creates a scalable pathway to monetize high-integrity environmental assets while supporting PLN IP’s long-term decarbonization objectives.”

“Although Indonesia has made meaningful progress toward nationwide electrification, efforts continue to ensure reliable electricity access reaches all parts of the archipelago—particularly in remote and developing regions. This gap represents both a social imperative and a long-term infrastructure opportunity. PLN Indonesia Power is advancing solar initiatives to support internal operations while expanding access to local renewable energy, strengthening energy security, and positioning the company for sustainable growth within Indonesia’s energy transition,” said Bernadus Sudarmanta, President Director of PT PLN Indonesia Power.

“PLN Indonesia Power takes a deliberate and prudent approach when engaging international partners for environmental asset monetization, particularly in Europe and North America. DevvStream’s disciplined lifecycle capabilities—from validation and certification through registry processes to secure asset management—have given us confidence in their ability to meet our standards. This agreement supports PLN’s broader decarbonization objectives by strengthening the pathway to monetize verifiable environmental outcomes across our generation portfolio.”

Corporate Financing Update

In parallel with the Indonesian announcement, DevvStream announced on April 27, 2026, pursuant to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 27, 2026, a $250,000 private placement with an institutional investor comprising 250,025 pre-funded warrants at a purchase price of $0.9999 per pre-funded warrant. The Company believes this financing further supports its capital position and provides additional flexibility to continue executing on strategic priorities. DevvStream previously stated that the financing is intended to support working capital and near-term execution as it advances toward its previously announced proposed business combination involving XCF Global, Inc. and Southern Energy Renewables Inc.

Clean Energy Broadens RNG Footprint With New Stations Positioned on Key Freight Corridors

Clean Energy Broadens RNG Footprint With New Stations Positioned on Key Freight Corridors

 

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), the largest provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market, announced today at the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo the expansion of its renewable natural gas (RNG) station network with six new stations in operation. The stations are strategically located along major freight transportation routes across the United States.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260504426027/en/

Clean Energy’s renewable natural gas (RNG) station in West Sacramento.

Clean Energy’s renewable natural gas (RNG) station in West Sacramento.

The new locations in California, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Michigan and Washington expand access to RNG nationwide, allowing Clean Energy to meet growing demand from heavy-duty truck fleets seeking immediate fuel cost savings and significant emissions reductions by powering their trucks with clean-burning RNG.

These station openings also support the accelerating adoption of Cummins’ X15N 15-liter natural gas engine, a gamechanger in engine technology which allows long‑haul and heavy‑duty fleets to run smoothly, efficiently, and reliably on RNG. RNG is a negative carbon-intensity fuel that can help carriers and their shipper customers address Scope 3 emissions targets. All the stations are easily accessible to tractors pulling trailers and are equipped with multiple fast-fill fueling dispensers.

“With diesel prices remaining very high and volatile, it’s perfect timing to expand our offering of a price-stable, low-cost fuel for fleets who want to cut their carbon emissions, but do it affordably,” said Chad Lindholm, SVP at Clean Energy. “With the addition of these new RNG stations in key freight corridors, and with the Cummins X15N now available from multiple OEMs, fleets won’t have to think twice about adopting the only viable alternative today.”

These new and existing stations further strengthen Clean Energy’s extensive network of over 600 fueling locations across North America serving transit, refuse, municipality, airport operations, and trucking fleets. The six recently opened stations are located near distribution centers and provide easy access points to major corridors. They include:

  • 1092 U.S. Highway 206, Bordentown, NJ 08505

  • 2200 N. Chrisman Road, Tracy, CA 95304

  • 20200 Hayden Drive, Woodhaven, MI 48183

  • 4305 W. Capitol Ave, West Sacramento, CA 95691

  • 4816 SW 29th, Oklahoma City, OK 73179

  • 1075 Valentine Avenue SE, Pacific, WA 98047

To find additional Clean Energy stations supplying RNG around the country, visit the company’s Station Locator at: https://stations.cleanenergyfuels.com

About Clean Energy

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is the country’s largest provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market. Our mission is to decarbonize transportation through the development and delivery of renewable natural gas (RNG), a sustainable fuel derived by capturing methane from organic waste. Clean Energy allows thousands of vehicles, from airport shuttles to city buses to waste and heavy-duty trucks, to reduce their amount of climate-harming greenhouse gas. We operate a vast network of fueling stations across the U.S. and Canada as well as RNG production facilities at dairy farms.

Aura Biosciences Announces CEO Transition as Company Advances Phase 3 CoMpass Trial Toward Enrollment Completion

Natalie Holles, seasoned industry executive with significant rare disease operational and commercialization experience, appointed Chief Executive Officer and President and member of the Board of Directors

Acceleration in patient screening driving Phase 3 CoMpass trial enrollment to near completion

BOSTON, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aura Biosciences, Inc.

Ms. Holles succeeds Elisabet de los Pinos, Ph.D., the Company’s founder, who stepped down from her roles as Chief Executive Officer and President and member of the Board of Directors on the same date.

The Company also announced that its Phase 3 CoMpass trial with its investigational candidate belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar) for the treatment of early choroidal melanoma is nearing enrollment completion. As of today, 86 patients have been enrolled in the study, and more than 25 additional patients have been scheduled or identified for screening through May 2026. With this update, the Company reiterates its guidance to enrollment completion by mid-2026 and topline data from the CoMpass trial in the second half of 2027.

“I am thrilled to join Aura to lead the Company through this next phase of its growth, including Phase 3 trial completion and the potential registration and commercial launch of bel-sar,” said Ms. Holles. “With the potential to bring the first frontline, vision-preserving therapy to patients with early choroidal melanoma, I believe the Company is very well-positioned for meaningful value creation for our patients and shareholders. I look forward to working with this talented team to advance our work toward realizing the full clinical and commercial potential of bel-sar.”

“We are delighted to welcome Natalie as CEO at this important moment for Aura,” said David Johnson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Aura Biosciences. “Natalie brings significant experience across late-stage development, operations, and rare disease commercialization, making her exceptionally well-suited to lead Aura as we near completion of enrollment in our Phase 3 CoMpass trial and prepare for potential commercialization. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Elisabet for her leadership and vision in founding Aura and advancing the Company to this critical point.”

“It has truly been a privilege to found and lead Aura from the ground up and to work alongside such an extraordinary team,” said Dr. de los Pinos. “I am deeply proud of what we have built together—advancing innovation in oncology, our commitment to patients and the field of ocular oncology, and bringing the CoMpass trial to this important stage. As the Company moves into its next phase, I am excited to see it continue to grow and thrive under Natalie’s leadership.”

Ms. Holles has more than 25 years of executive leadership experience spanning corporate strategy, business development, operations and commercialization across multiple therapeutic areas.

About Bel- sar and Aura’s Ongoing Phase 3 CoMpass Trial in Early Choroidal Melanoma: CoMpass is the first registration-enabling study in early choroidal melanoma. This global, randomized Phase 3 trial is evaluating bel-sar versus a sham control. As of today, 86 patients have been enrolled in the trial and over 25 patients are scheduled or identified for screening through May 2026. The Company continues to expect to complete enrollment by mid-2026, with topline data for the 15-month primary endpoint anticipated in the second half of 2027.

Bel-sar has the potential to become the first frontline vision-preserving therapy in this setting. The Company previously received Orphan Drug Designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency and Fast Track designation from the FDA for the treatment of early choroidal melanoma. The CoMpass trial is under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the FDA.
