“We are in the process of completing the KONFIDENT trial and we look forward to advancing sebetralstat for a NDA submission in the first half of 2024,” said Andrew Crockett, Chief Executive Officer of KalVista. “As we plan on several regulatory filings in the coming year, we are also continuing to build out our commercial organization in order to support a rapid launch upon FDA approval.”

Second Fiscal Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

• Achieved the targeted number of on-treatment attacks required to complete the phase 3 KONFIDENT trial. Topline data readout is expected in early 2024, remaining on track for a New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first half of 2024. The Company also expects to file for approval in the European Union and Japan later in 2024
• Received Orphan Drug Status (ODS) approval from Switzerland for sebetralstat, allowing for shorter review time, priority authorization, and 15 years market protection and exclusivity
• Presented real-world patient data at the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology discussing compliance challenges of currently available parenteral on-demand HAE treatments and evidence of the global prevalence of normal C1-inhibitor HAE (HAE-nC1-INH)
• Conducted fireside chats at the Cantor Global Healthcare Conference, Stifel 2023 Healthcare Conference, and Jefferies London Healthcare Conference
• Reported data at the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology 2023 International Conference characterizing HAE attacks in patients receiving long-term prophylaxis (LTP)

Second Fiscal Quarter Financial Results:

Revenue: No revenue was recognized for the three months ended October 31, 2023, or October 31, 2022.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $19.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2023, compared to $18.1 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in R&D expenses during the quarter primarily reflects the ongoing Phase 3 KONFIDENT and KONFIDENT-S trials.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $10.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2023, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to increases in employee-related expenses, commercial strategy and supply chain expenses.

Net Loss: Net loss was $27.7 million, or $(0.80) per weighted average basic and diluted share, for the three months ended October 31, 2023, compared to net loss of $22.3 million, or $(0.90) per weighted average basic and diluted share for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss primarily resulted from the increase in operating expenses, primarily research and development.

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $103.2 million as of October 31, 2023, compared to $149.4 million as of April 30, 2023. The decrease in the net cash and marketable securities position was due to cash consumption from operating expenses.
