$264.5 Million in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments to Support Operating Runway for the Next Three Years, Including the Planned Commercialization of neffy in the United States

SAN DIEGO – May 15, 2023 -ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPRY), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to empowering at-risk patients and caregivers to better protect themselves from severe allergic reactions that could lead to anaphylaxis, today highlighted recent progress and reported first quarter 2023 financial results.

“For the millions of people living with Type I allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, we believe that neffy (nasal epinephrine spray), a small, needle-free and easy-to-use nasal spray, could provide a much-needed alternative to the currently approved epinephrine injection devices. Despite their effectiveness, these devices are limited in usage because many patients and caregivers do not carry, avoid using or hesitate to use them,” said Richard Lowenthal, president and chief executive officer of ARS Pharmaceuticals. “Throughout the first quarter, we’ve made important strides toward bringing neffy to patients. We are glad to have had the opportunity to discuss neffy with the FDA’s Advisory Committee during our recent meeting and are incredibly pleased with the outcome and the committee’s support of neffy for adults and children.”

Eric Karas, chief commercial officer added, “As we look ahead, with both our NDA and MAA for neffy currently under review by the regulators in the U.S. and EU, we are laser focused on our commercial preparedness activities. Over the last several months, we’ve made significant progress in our Commercial Launch Readiness. We are preparing to launch a 125-person salesforce focusing on specialists and healthcare providers who prescribe epinephrine and will have an array of patient and provider services established to ensure affordability. Access to neffy is a key focus and priority for us, and we have started to work with drug benefit plans to educate and raise awareness about new routes of administration that will help ensure the prompt use of epinephrine for severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.”

About Type I Allergic Reactions including Anaphylaxis

Type I severe allergic reactions are serious and potentially life-threatening events that can occur within minutes of exposure to an allergen and require immediate treatment with epinephrine, the only FDA-approved medication for these reactions. While epinephrine autoinjectors have been shown to be highly effective, there are well published limitations that result in many patients and caregivers delaying or not administering treatment in an emergency situation. These limitations include fear of the needle, lack of portability, needle-related safety concerns, lack of reliability, and complexity of the devices. There are approximately 25 to 40 million people in the United States who experience Type I severe allergic reactions. Of those, only 3.3 million currently have an active epinephrine autoinjector prescription, and of those, only half consistently carry their prescribed autoinjector. Even if patients or caregivers carry an autoinjector, more than half either delay or do not administer the device when needed in an emergency.
