Management to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30PM Eastern

Monrovia, CA, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, eXoZymes Inc. (NASDAQ: EXOZ) (“eXoZymes”) – a pioneer of AI-engineered enzymes that can transform sustainable feedstock into essential nutraceuticals, medicines, biofuels, and other valuable chemicals – provides an update on operations through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Michael Heltzen, CEO of eXoZymes, states, “As a pre-revenue company, what’s important for us is that we keep progressing towards our specific milestones and value infection points, like getting to our first commercial applications via spin-outs, joint-ventures, and licensing deals as the drivers of our focus on commercialization. All while making sure to keep improving our fundamental and innovative exozymes technology, as well as growing our team of talents.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 and Subsequent Operational Highlights

• Completed initial public offering: While 2024 was a challenging year to raise money for bio- and high-tech, eXoZymes successfully started trading on Nasdaq on November 13, 2024.
• Adding AI to our biotech: Through a proprietary process, eXoZymes has developed a unique way of generating AI-derived-signal-rich enzyme data that can be used to train ML algorithms efficiently. Using this proprietary AI-based process has led to remarkable improvements in the enzyme development process, speeding up development of the core technology, and paving the way for the next generation of biomanufacturing, namely: exozymes.
• Commercialization: Full focus on developing commercial opportunities, spin-outs, joint-ventures, and licensing deals with future partners, in order to get to multiple markets as fast as possible.

Investors and interested parties can access the live webinar, at the time of the event through eXoZymes’ investor relations website. A recording of the conference call will also be made publicly available soon after the live call.

Michael Heltzen, CEO of eXoZymes, will lead the call and will be joined by select members of the management team to review recent developments, ongoing initiatives, anticipated milestones, as well as host a question-and-answer period.

About eXoZymes

Founded in 2019, the company has developed a biomanufacturing platform that – as a historic first – offers the tools and insights to engineer, control and optimize nature’s own natural processes to produce chemical compounds, enabling the company’s partners to replace traditional chemical production methods with a new commercially scalable, sustainable, and eco-friendly alternative: exozymes.

Exozymes are advanced enzymes enhanced through AI and bioengineering to thrive in a bioreactor outside of living cells. Exozymes can replace toxic petrochemical processes and inefficient biochemical extraction with sustainable and scalable biosolutions that transform biomass into essential chemicals, medicines, and biofuels.

By freeing enzyme-driven chemical reactions from the limitations imposed by cells, exozyme biosolutions eliminate the scaling bottleneck that has hampered commercial success in the synthetic biology (SynBio) space, making exozymes the logical successor to most SynBio projects.

While the company, eXoZymes Inc., has introduced “exozymes” as a scientific concept, they are not trademarking the concept, as they view it as a new nomenclature for wide adoption for this next generation of biomanufacturing that eXoZymes aims to pioneer and be the market leader of.

— Beginning of Wind Down of Stereo EEG (SEEG) Distribution Relationship in Q4 2025 —

— Maintaining 2025 Revenue Guidance —

— No Change to Long-Range Plan Expectations of Cash Flow Breakeven by the end of 2027 and Achievement of 20%+ Revenue CAGR —

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NeuroPace, Inc. (Nasdaq: NPCE), a medical device company focused on transforming the lives of people living with epilepsy, today reported that as part of a strategic refocusing of its product portfolio on its core, differentiated RNS System product line, it is terminating its distribution relationship for SEEG products and will begin winding down the relationship in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continuing through the first quarter of 2026.

“While we believe that entering into the exclusive distribution agreement with DIXI Medical three years ago was appropriate for NeuroPace at the time, our core growth strategy today has evolved significantly from when the distribution agreement began. We believe that, beginning in 2026, our goals will be best and most efficiently served by having our commercial team focus its resources on the significant current and expanding opportunities associated with our differentiated RNS System,” commented Joel Becker, NeuroPace Chief Executive Officer. “Our long-range plan includes clinical, product and market development initiatives around RNS therapy. We are already making good progress with our site of service expansion through Project CARE, and the 2026 planned indication expansion into the drug-resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy population, expansion into pediatric focal epilepsy as a new indication, and the launch of differentiated software products in our AI pipeline each represent significant and unique opportunities to drive our long-term growth,” Becker added.

“I believe that we create the most value for the NeuroPace community and stakeholders by focusing on what we are uniquely well positioned to do, which is to make the RNS System the standard of care for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy patients. This will be our focus and will free up additional capacity within our commercial organization at the beginning of 2026. I am confident this will lead to more efficient, effective and faster development and execution of our opportunities and establish NeuroPace and the RNS System as the clear leader in the field.”

“Considering the timeline for these activities, we do not currently plan any change to our previously stated 2025 revenue guidance and we are maintaining our long-range plan expectations of 20%+ CAGR and our ability to achieve cash flow breakeven by the end of 2027,” Becker concluded.

Key Considerations

• The Company is maintaining its 2025 revenue guidance, after taking into consideration the timing of the distribution agreement expiration at the close of Q3 2025 and wind down activities over the six months thereafter, during which the Company will continue selling remaining inventory.
• NeuroPace gross margin is expected to increase as the margin for SEEG distributed products is approximately 50%, while the margin of the RNS System is over 78%.
• The Company expects significant growth opportunities in 2026, including the ongoing expansion of Project CARE, indication expansion into the drug-resistant idiopathic generalized epilepsy population – which like the patient population treated through CARE does not utilize SEEG products – and drug-resistant pediatric focal epilepsy patient population, and launch of AI enabled software products.
• The SEEG market has comparable products from a number of companies, and NeuroPace is confident that customers will remain well supported.

About NeuroPace, Inc.

Based in Mountain View, Calif., NeuroPace is a medical device company focused on transforming the lives of people living with epilepsy by reducing or eliminating the occurrence of debilitating seizures. Its novel and differentiated RNS System is the first and only commercially available, brain-responsive platform that delivers personalized, real-time treatment at the seizure source. This platform can drive a better standard of care for patients living with drug-resistant epilepsy and has the potential to offer a more personalized solution and improved outcomes to the large population of patients suffering from other brain disorders.

• a cash dividend of $0.50 per share on its 8.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Shares”) (NYSE: SB.PR.C) for the period from January 30, 2025 to April 29, 2025;

Each dividend will be paid on April 30, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of April 17, 2025 of the Series C Preferred Shares and of the Series D Preferred Shares, respectively.
