2019

Underway to Support the Potential U.S. Approval and Launch of UGN-101 in
1H 2020

Conference Call and Webcast to be Held Today at 8:30 AM ET

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq:URGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company developing treatments to address unmet needs in uro-oncology,
today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year
ended December 31, 2018 and provided an overview of the Company’s recent
developments.

“Our clinical and corporate execution in 2018 places UroGen in a
position of strength as we prepare to potentially deliver UGN-101 as the
first approved therapy for patients with low-grade upper tract
urothelial cancer (LG UTUC),” said Liz Barrett, President and Chief
Executive Officer of UroGen. “With this solid foundation, we remain
intensely focused on finalizing our rolling New Drug Application (NDA)
and accelerating commercial preparation to ensure a successful launch
upon approval with seamless adoption of UGN-101. We believe UGN-101 is
just the beginning of what may be possible with our proprietary RTGel™
technology platform.”

“LG UTUC represents a clinical challenge as the current treatment of
surgical intervention can put patients at risk for the well-known
complications associated with repetitive surgical procedures and
potential kidney removal,” said Mark P. Schoenberg, M.D., Chief Medical
Officer of UroGen. “If approved, UGN-101 could be a true breakthrough
for patients by providing an option to avoid the risks and downstream
consequences associated with surgery while arming urologists in general
practice with a simple-to-use, kidney sparing approach to the management
of their patient’s disease.”

Recent Highlights

• UGN-101 Clinical Development:
  • In the fourth quarter, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
    granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for UGN-101
    (mitomycin gel) for instillation, an investigational mitomycin
    formulation for the non-surgical treatment of patients with LG
    UTUC.
  • In January 2019, the Company announced positive topline results
    from the pivotal Phase 3 OLYMPUS clinical trial of UGN-101, in
    which 57 percent of patients achieved a complete response (CR)
    rate at their primary disease evaluation (PDE, or the primary
    endpoint) which was conducted four to six weeks after completion
    of UGN-101 treatment.
• Pipeline Advancement:
  • The Company continues to enroll patients as part of its Phase 2b
    OPTIMA II clinical trial of UGN-102 (mitomycin gel) for
    intravesical instillation as a potential first-line chemoablation
    agent in the treatment of intermediate risk patients with
    low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG NMIBC) at risk
    for recurrence.
• Corporate Developments:
  • UroGen strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of
    Liz Barrett as President and Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Barrett
    has over 30 years of industry experience spanning multiple areas
    including oncology, specialty care, surgical franchises, and
    consumer marketing in multiple geographic regions, most recently
    serving as CEO of Novartis Oncology and as a member of the
    Executive Committee of Novartis.
  • The Company enhanced its financial position with the completion of
    a successful public offering of ordinary shares in January 2019,
    resulting in net proceeds of approximately $162 million. These
    proceeds leave the company well-capitalized to execute on upcoming
    milestones, including preparation for potential commercialization
    of UGN-101, continued clinical development of our second product
    candidate (UGN-102), and advancement of our pipeline.

Upcoming Milestones

• UGN-101: UroGen remains on
  track to complete its rolling NDA for UGN-101 in 2H 2019 and is
  planning for potential approval in 1H 2020. If approved, UGN-101 would
  be the first drug approved for the non-surgical treatment of LG UTUC.
  • The company continues to build out its commercial infrastructure
    and focus on scientific awareness to support adoption and seamless
    integration of UGN-101 into the urologist practice following
    potential regulatory approval.
• UGN-102: The Company
  intends to report initial data from the OPTIMA II trial of UGN-102 in
  2019.
  • Similar to UGN-101, UGN-102 has the potential to transform the
    treatment paradigm for patients with LG NMIBC, as there are
    currently no drugs approved by the FDA as first-line treatment for
    LG NMIBC.
  • UGN-102 represents a substantial opportunity in UroGen’s pipeline
    with the potential to initially address up to approximately 80,000
    patients for whom repetitive surgical resection via Transurethral
    Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) remains the standard of care.
• BotuGel: Allergan continues
  to enroll patients in its Phase 2 trial of BotuGel, UroGen’s RTGel in
  combination with BOTOX®¹, for the treatment of overactive
  bladder. Phase 2 data is expected in 2019.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results; 2019 Guidance

• As of December 31, 2018, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
  investments totaled $101.3 million. In addition, the Company raised
  net proceeds of approximately $162 million from an underwritten public
  offering in January 2019. Based on anticipated activities, the current
  cash balance is projected to carry the company for the next 24-36
  months.
• Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018
  were $36.9 million, including non-cash share-based compensation
  expense of $12.0 million. Research and development expenses for the
  three months ended December 31, 2018 were $11.5 million, including
  non-cash share-based compensation expense of $3.0 million.
• General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
  2018 were $39.6 million, including non-cash share-based compensation
  expense of $18.6 million. General and administrative expenses for the
  three months ended December 31, 2018 were $12.6 million, including
  non-cash share-based compensation expense of $5.9 million.
• The Company reported a net loss of $75.7 million, or basic and diluted
  net loss per ordinary share of $4.80, for the year ended December 31,
  2018. The Company reported a net loss of $23.7 million, or basic and
  diluted net loss per ordinary share of $1.46, for the three months
  ended December 31, 2018.
• The Company anticipates a net loss in the range of $100 to $115
  million for 2019, which is expected to include non-cash stock-based
  compensation expense in the range of $24 to $27 million subject to
  market conditions. The projected change in net loss for 2019 versus
  2018 is expected to be largely attributable to the buildout of
  commercial infrastructure in anticipation of the potential launch of
  UGN-101. The Company has 20.4 million ordinary shares outstanding post
  the closing of our most recent financing in January.
