Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

Liz? Good morning, thank you all for joining us today.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

I'm so pleased to share the results for another strong quarter, driven by continued momentum across the ZUSDURI launch and meaningful progress advancing our long-term growth strategy. ZUSDURI generated $50.4 million in net product revenue during the second quarter, representing a 73% growth over the first quarter. More importantly, the commercial trends underlying that growth continue to strengthen. We are seeing expanding adoption across both hospital and community practices, increasing repeat utilization, and growing physician confidence, all of which reinforces our confidence that we are building a meaningful commercial franchise. That progress reflects the compelling value proposition of ZUSDURI. As the first and only FDA-approved medicine for adults with recurrent, low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, ZUSDURI offers patients a treatment that provides unprecedented recurrence and treatment-free intervals.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

ZUSDURI is a primary non-surgical option for a disease that historically had been managed through repeated surgical intervention under general anesthesia. We believe its unique clinical profile is changing how physicians think about treating these patients and increasingly establishing ZUSDURI as a foundational treatment in this setting. As with prior quarters, I'd like to provide an update on the operating metrics that we track most closely, as they continue to provide valuable insight into the trajectory of the launch. As of June 30th, 2026, we had 1,444 activated accounts, up from 972 at the end of the first quarter. Unique prescribers increased to 452 compared to 256 in Q1, while repeat prescribers nearly doubled to 204. Importantly, repeat prescribers now represent approximately 45% of writers, compared with around 40% in the first quarter. We continue to view repeat utilization as one of the strongest indicators of potential long-term success.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

It demonstrates that physicians are gaining confidence through real-world experience and increasingly incorporating ZUSDURI into routine clinical practice. Equally encouraging, these trends remained consistent throughout the quarter, giving us confidence the launch is advancing and increasingly sustainable. We continue to see increased utilization within existing accounts, demonstrating that adoption is expanding across practices and within them. Patient enrollment forms are increasing, and new patient starts are tracking in line with that growth. Operationally, we continue to improve the time from patient enrollment to treatment initiation. As practices gain familiarity with ordering, reimbursement, and administration, workflows continue to become more efficient. Our goal is to achieve the two-to-three-week enrollment-to-treatment conversion cycle we see today with JELMYTO, and we expect continued progress toward that goal over the balance of the year. Another encouraging trend is expansion into community urology practices.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

By the end of the quarter, approximately 55% of utilization was in community practices, compared to 45% from hospitals. This is important because we estimate approximately 70% of the addressable market resides in the community practices. As adoption continues to broaden, we believe the community setting will become an increasingly important driver of long-term growth, and we still see significant runway ahead. From an access perspective, we have open access across more than 95% of covered lives, and we see no material reimbursement barriers. The permanent J-code has performed exactly as anticipated by improving reimbursement confidence and enabling broader utilization. At this stage, reimbursement uncertainty is no longer a meaningful constraint to adoption. Looking ahead, we believe there remains a significant opportunity to build on this momentum through the remainder of 2026 and beyond.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

Our priorities remain clear: expanding community adoption, increasing repeat utilization, continued improvement of patient conversion, and increasing awareness among both physicians and patients. We are beginning to invest more directly in patient awareness. Many patients with recurrent low-grade IR non-muscle invasive bladder cancer are not aware that a non-surgical treatment option exists, and we believe increasing that awareness represents an important opportunity to expand utilization in the mid to long term. Turning to JELMYTO, revenue was $22 million in the second quarter, compared to $21.7 million in the first quarter. JELMYTO continues to demonstrate a stable and predictable demand profile while also continuing to add new users. We believe we're on track to deliver within our full-year revenue guidance of $97 million-$101 million. During the quarter, we continued to strengthen the long-term foundation of our uro-oncology portfolio.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

We reached a settlement and license agreement with Teva that resolved the JELMYTO patent litigation, providing greater visibility into the product's long-term commercial runway while reinforcing the strength of our RTGel intellectual property portfolio. In addition, we received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a new method of treatment patent covering both ZUSDURI and UGN-103. This patent, once issued, is expected to provide protection into July of 2044, strengthening the intellectual property supporting the franchise and reinforcing the long-term commercial opportunity for both products. We continue to make meaningful progress across our pipeline. UGN-103 remains on track for NDA submission in the next few weeks. UGN-104 continues progress through phase III, and following FDA acceptance of our IND, we're excited to begin phase I development of UGN-501 this year.

Liz BarrettPresident and CEO

Overall, the first half of 2026 has significantly strengthened our conviction in the long-term opportunity ahead. We are successfully scaling the ZUSDURI launch, advancing multiple pipeline programs, and building a company positioned for sustained growth. We believe this positions UroGen to deliver meaningful outcomes for patients while creating significant long-term value for shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mark for a clinical update.

Mark SchoenbergChief Medical Officer

Mark? Thank you, Liz, and good morning, everyone.

Mark SchoenbergChief Medical Officer

Let me begin with the most recent update from the phase III ENVISION trial. In May, we announced updated durability data from ENVISION with nearly three years of follow-up. Among patients who achieved a complete response at three months, the probability of remaining disease-free at 36 months was 64.5% by Kaplan-Meier estimate. Importantly, at a median follow-up of 35.5 months, the median duration of response has still not been reached. The most important takeaway is that the complete response obtained with ZUSDURI is highly durable through three years and was achieved without any maintenance therapy. In practical terms, by Kaplan-Meier estimate, most complete responders remain disease-free nearly three years after achieving a complete response. For a disease characterized by repeated recurrences and repeated surgeries, these data highlights ZUSDURI's potential to interrupt that cycle.

Mark SchoenbergChief Medical Officer

The clinical data are important, but equally important is that we are now seeing similar results in routine clinical practice. At the American Urological Association annual meeting in May, we hosted a panel of leading academic and community urologists to discuss their real-world experience with ZUSDURI. The discussion provided strong corroboration of both the clinical profile and commercial adoption we are seeing today. Several consistent themes emerged. First, the panelists described ZUSDURI administration as easy to integrate into routine urology practice without meaningful disruption to existing workflows. Second, as physicians gain experience, they are becoming increasingly confident in expanding use beyond their initial patients. Rather than reserving ZUSDURI for patients who may not be ideal surgical candidates, many are now considering it earlier for a broader range of patients with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk disease, including younger and otherwise healthy patients who simply wish to avoid repeated TURBT procedures.
