NEW YORK, November 13, 2026 – Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX), a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update.

“As we approach the top-line data from our Phase 3 ENSURE trials in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) in December, we believe Immunic is entering one of the most important periods in its history,” said Erik Lundgren, Chief Executive Officer of Immunic. “We are evolving from a science-driven biotechnology company into a fully integrated commercial organization, with a key focus on understanding and addressing the needs of people living with MS. We believe vidofludimus calcium has the potential to address mechanisms associated with both the neurodegenerative and inflammatory drivers of the disease, which, if confirmed in our Phase 3 trials, could offer a differentiated treatment option in MS. Subject to positive ENSURE results, we are preparing for a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission in relapsing MS, while we continue to advance our Phase 3 program in progressive MS.”

“We were fortunate to present exciting data in four posters at MSToronto2026 – the 10th Joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS Meeting, which added complementary clinical and mechanistic evidence supporting the potential of vidofludimus calcium to address existing unmet needs in MS,” added Michael A. Panzara, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer of Immunic. “Further, our Phase 3 ENSURE trials in relapsing MS continue to be on track to report top-line data in December 2026. Our teams remain focused on this readout and readiness for a potential NDA submission should the results be positive. In parallel, the Phase 2 CALLIPER data along with the insights shared by leading MS experts at our two recent R&D Days support the rational for our Phase 3 PROTECT-MS trial in progressive MS, with initiation ongoing and first-patient-enrolled expected in the first half of 2027.”

Third Quarter 2026 and Subsequent Highlights

• Ongoing Phase 3 ENSURE Relapsing MS Program: Continued to execute the fully enrolled twin Phase 3 ENSURE-1 and ENSURE-2 trials of vidofludimus calcium in relapsing MS, which randomized 1,121 and 1,100 patients, respectively, at more than 100 sites in 15 countries.
• Preparation of Phase 3 Progressive MS Program: Continued initiation activities for the Phase 3 PROTECT-MS trial in progressive MS, informed by the Phase 2 CALLIPER trial data.
• Hosted Virtual Progressive MS R&D Day: On November 5, 2026, hosted a virtual R&D day focused on progressive MS. Jiwon Oh, M.D., Ph.D., FRCPC, Division of Neurology, University of Toronto, and Maria Pia Sormani, Ph.D., University of Genoa, Italy, joined Immunic’s management team to discuss the key unmet needs in progressive MS and the persistent needs for innovative approaches to the development of therapies that target novel mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration and MS progression. The event highlighted the potential expansion opportunity for vidofludimus calcium in progressive MS, including the clinical and scientific rationale supporting Immunic’s plans to initiate a Phase 3 progressive MS trial. A replay is available on the “Events and Presentations” section of Immunic’s website.
• New Data Presented at MSToronto2026 – the 10th Joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS Meeting: Presented new clinical, biomarker and preclinical data for vidofludimus calcium across four poster presentations at MSToronto2026, held October 21-23, 2026, in Toronto. Highlights included:
  • New analyses of the Phase 2 CALLIPER trial in progressive MS showed that the favorable trends on disability outcomes observed during the double-blind main treatment period appeared to be maintained during the open-label extension (OLE) phase among participants who continued vidofludimus calcium treatment. Because the OLE phase is not placebo-controlled and includes only participants who elected to continue treatment, these results should be interpreted with caution. Only 6.5% of patients discontinued through the January 27, 2026 data cutoff, with a safety and tolerability profile that appeared consistent with that observed in the double-blind period.
  • New preclinical findings suggest that vidofludimus calcium promoted neuronal survival under apoptotic stress conditions, an effect requiring Nurr1. Under these in vitro experimental conditions, this Nurr-1 dependent pro-survival effect was not observed with teriflunomide, providing preclinical evidence suggesting that it involves mechanisms beyond DHODH inhibition. The clinical relevance of these findings has not been established.
  • An exploratory CALLIPER analysis found that vidofludimus calcium reduced Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific T-cell receptor sequence matches versus placebo-treated patients, and, in a post-hoc analysis across all patients, reductions in EBV-specific matches were associated with improved Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) scores.
  • In a post-hoc analysis applying two proposed novel statistical methods that integrate disability worsening and improvement into a single statistical measure, progressive MS patients in CALLIPER treated with vidofludimus calcium appeared more likely to have positive disability outcomes compared to placebo. These methods have not been validated or accepted by regulatory authorities.
• Hosted Virtual Relapsing MS R&D Day: On September 9, 2026, hosted a virtual R&D day focused on relapsing MS, at which management discussed the potential of vidofludimus calcium to address mechanisms associated with both neurodegenerative and inflammatory drivers of MS and shared insights into how its differentiated approach could add to the evolving treatment landscape in relapsing MS. MS experts Amit Bar-Or, M.D., FRCPC, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and Stephen Krieger, M.D., FAAN, Icahn School of Medicine, The Mount Sinai Hospital, provided expert perspectives on the MS patient journey, current treatment paradigms and unmet medical needs. A replay is available on the “Events and Presentations” section of Immunic’s website.
• Expansion of Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors:
  • Appointed Jaa Roberson as Chief People Officer, effective October 19, 2026. In this newly created executive role, Ms. Roberson leads Immunic’s global talent and organizational strategy as the company prepares for the ENSURE read-out and potential commercialization. Ms. Roberson brings more than two decades of human resources experience, most recently as Chief People Officer at Day One Biopharmaceuticals, and earlier, at Genentech supporting commercial franchises, including Ocrevus® for MS.
  • Appointed Chitrang Davé, M.B.A., as Chief Data and Digital Officer, effective September 1, 2026. In this newly created C-suite role, Mr. Davé leads Immunic’s enterprise-wide data, analytics, AI and digital strategy in support of NDA and commercial readiness. Mr. Davé brings more than 25 years of data and analytics leadership experience across regulated life sciences environments, most recently as Head of Enterprise Data, AI & Advanced Analytics at Avidity Biosciences, and previously in senior roles at Edwards Lifesciences and Medtronic.
  • Appointed Elena Ridloff, CFA, to the Board of Directors, effective August 6, 2026. Ms. Ridloff brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in finance, corporate development, investor relations, and capital markets across the biopharmaceutical industry. She currently serves as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Business Officer at Sionna Therapeutics.

Anticipated Clinical Milestones

• Vidofludimus Calcium in Relapsing MS: Top-line data from the twin Phase 3 ENSURE-1 and ENSURE-2 trials remains on track and is expected to be available in December 2026. If positive, Immunic plans to submit an NDA in the United States in mid-2027, with a targeted potential regulatory approval date in 2028.
• Vidofludimus Calcium in Progressive MS: The initiation of the Phase 3 PROTECT-MS trial in progressive MS is ongoing, with first-patient-enrolled expected in the first half of 2027.
• IMU-381: The IMU-381 program, selected to leverage the Nurr1 platform for neurologic and autoimmune diseases, continues to be in preclinical testing with lead candidate identification ongoing.

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases. The company's lead investigational asset, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials in relapsing multiple sclerosis, with top-line data expected to be available in December 2026.
