Greetings, and welcome to the X4 Pharmaceuticals First Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host Dan Ferry from Lifesci Advisors. Please begin.

Thank you, operator, and good morning everyone. Presenting on today's call will be X4's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Paula Ragan; and Chief Financial Officer, Adam Mostafa. Following prepared remarks by each, we will open the call to your questions, and will be joined by Chief Commercial Officer, Mark Baldry; and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Christophe Arbet-Engels. As a reminder on today's call, the company will be making forward-looking statements regarding regulatory and product development plans. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from those forecasted. A description of these risks can be found in X4's most recent filings with the SEC, including last year's Form 10-K and this past quarter's Form 10-Q which is expected to be filed after market close today. Please note that the X4 investor deck was updated this morning on the company website to include slides detailing some of the data analyses mentioned in this morning's press release and on this call today. I'd now like to turn the call over to X4's President and CEO, Dr. Paula Ragan. Paula?

Thank you, Dan, and thanks to all of you for joining us this morning. The first quarter of 2025 was an extremely productive and value-building period for X4 with clinical trial advancement in chronic neutropenia, continued progress in the commercialization of XOLREMDI for WHIM syndrome in the US and our achievement of several significant milestones towards expanding the global potential of mavorixafor for patients. Let's begin with mavorixafor for in chronic neutropenia or CN. As you know, having successfully developed mavorixafor, branded XOLREMDI for patients with WHIM syndrome in the US, we are now also developing mavorixafor for the larger indication of chronic neutropenia. There are currently about 50,000 people diagnosed with some form of CN in the US based on retrospective ICD-10 code analyses. Of those currently diagnosed with primary CN, we estimate that approximately 15,000 individuals or about 30% to 40% have remaining health challenges and continue to experience low absolute neutrophil counts or ANCs and recurrent infections despite available standard of care. We define this as the high unmet need CN patient population. And it is with this population in mind that we are launching our ongoing 4WARD trial, a global pivotal Phase III clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-daily oral mavorixafor in people with certain chronic neutropenic conditions including primary autoimmune, idiopathic and congenital neutropenia and who are experiencing recurrent and/or serious infections. As we reported on our last call, we're now screening and enrolling participants in over 20 countries with more than 90% of our target global trial sites being activated. Additionally, we've now finalized the trial design based on the feedback we also discussed previously from both the FDA and EMA to focus on those with the highest unmet needs, a population that matches up well with mavorixafor's targeted commercial CN…

Thanks, Paula. As we disclosed in the press release this morning, we ended the first quarter of 2025 with just under $90 million in cash and cash equivalents. We continue to believe that we have sufficient funds to support company operations into the first half of 2026. We reported net XOLREMDI revenues of just under $1 million for the first quarter of 2025. As Paula mentioned, this brings our cumulative total sales since our May 2024 launch to about $3.5 million. Our R&D expenditures totaled $18.5 million for the first quarter and our SG&A expenses were $15 million for the first quarter. And finally, we had a small amount of net income in the first quarter due to the recognition of $28 million in license and other revenue from our partnership with Norgine, and a gain of $10.8 million on our outstanding Class C warrants which are measured at fair value each quarter. We also note that our 1-for-30 reverse stock split became effective on Monday following shareholder and Board approval, and we believe this should cure our current deficiency with the NASDAQ listing rules. Lastly, we have now completed the majority of the actions we laid out during our announced strategic restructuring in February. We continue to expect that these efforts will decrease our spending by about $30 million to $35 million annually. We'll now open the call up to your questions. Operator?

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] We'll take our first question from Ted Tenthoff with Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.

Great. Thank you. Can you give us a sense if you have any visibility into the types of patients that are being enrolled [Technical Difficulty]. Is it largely in line with what you expect is enrolled in the Phase II trial. And then a follow-up on [Technical Difficulty].

Good morning, Ted. We're having trouble in hearing you [Technical Difficulty] color on the enrollment profile of the [Technical Difficulty] commercial market. So of course, we mentioned that we're very pleased with the overall profile. And I'll turn it over to Christophe for his remarks.

So we have -- the study in itself is very -- has very specific criteria. And we have the profile of the patients that we are having is really good so far and we're tracking this. What I can share as anecdotally having met with some of the PI and meeting with some others is that a lot of those PIs would love to include many more patients than the patients we have into the study. And they often have all these patients waiting. They cannot change their treatment just to include them in the study, obviously, but there's a clear demand here and interest in trying to bring as many patients as possible into the study.

Sure. Maybe Mark just add one more comment there.

Yeah. Ted, I was just going to say we're continuing to build our insights into the CN market itself and actually just completed a large survey with about 95 US physicians who treat chronic neutropenia. And what we're finding is the case loads of patients that these physicians have are much higher than in WHIM. So in WHIM it's a very fragmented model. But in chronic neutropenia it's much more concentrated, much more defined because there are distinct definitive ICD-10 diagnosis codes. So we can clearly see where these patients are and the unmet need in this refractory population.

So I think just to quickly summarize to you Ted, very sick patients being enrolled in the study to enrich for success on the infection endpoint, higher demand both locally in the trial because they'd love to get their patients in the trial, but of course we can't accept everybody. And then Mark is seeing that pull-through in terms of the higher case flows through our market research.

Great. Thanks very much. Thank you.

Thank you, Ted.

Our next question comes from RK with H.C. Wainwright. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Good morning, Paula and Adam. A couple of quick questions. In the patient, the amount of patients that you said who are being diagnosed with CN, which is like 50,000 people and out of that 15,000 are the ones that seem to be having the high unmet need. These numbers are they just US or are they worldwide?

They're just US, RK, yes. We did ICD-10 analysis and the US claims data.

Okay, okay. Perfect. And then from your comments to Ted's question, you were stating that only very sick patients are being enrolled into the study. So I'm thinking about the label when what sort of the target population would you be looking at on the label? Is it the very sick population? Or is that beyond that? And how do we define that population?

So because, RK, this is Christophe here. Because we do have already also from the CN Phase 2 experience with also other population even if we -- if the Phase 3 study includes moderate and severe patients, we are going to build a case for the label for the entire CN population and we do have already data to support this including from the WHIM study et cetera. So we are anticipating a broad label. But, obviously, this will be a matter of discussions with the FDA at the time when it comes.

RK just to crosswalk, obviously, into the value proposition. We are focusing on treating patients who are basically refractory with severe recurrent infections. That is who needs remaining treatment. And certainly when we go into the payer systems across the world, we want to be focusing on that -- basically that high unmet need with little to no options to demonstrate the value proposition of XOLREMDI for mavorixafor right now in CN XOLREMDI and WHIM and maintain our price point. So there's a good connection between the severity of the disease, the trial design and the ultimate value that we think we can bring to patients.

Thank you. Okay. One last question I'm sorry. The transaction with -- or the agreement with Norgine that you currently have for commercialization in Europe and Australia. Does that go by indication? Or does that go by mavorixafor period?

Yeah. Thanks RK. It's Adam. So it covers WHIM and CN. So it's a license to across both indications. Obviously first will be WHIM commercially followed by CN.

Okay. Perfect. Thanks. Thanks for taking my questions.

Thank you, RK.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] We will move next with Stephen Willey with Stifel. Please go ahead. Your line is open.

Yeah. Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. I guess, with the understanding that the commercial history here in WHIM is a bit abbreviated thus far is there anything that you can say about just patient persistency and compliance that you're seeing?

Sure. Good morning, Steve. Mark here. Yeah, I mean, I think what we're pleased with is that although we're not giving out any actual numbers we're pleased to see that compliance and adherence rates are actually higher than you would expect with a daily oral medication. And I think that speaks to the unmet need here and that these patients and physicians understand that this disease needs treatment and XOLREMDI is the solution if it's taken appropriately. So we're now actually spending a lot of time beginning to educate patients and the patient community. And in fact excited to -- announced that we just launched a new website yesterday. In fact, I encourage you to open your browser of choice and type in whimsyndrome.com and you'll see our new patient education website that features WHIM patients telling their stories and also provides a lot of resources to help them on their journey with WHIM and with XOLREMDI.

Okay. And are most patients getting a 30-day supply? Or are some patients getting three months' worth of drug via a single script.

The majority of patients are on the higher dose. Of course, it's weight based. So if the patient is of a lighter weight they get a lighter dose.

And I guess, the question was if the prescription unit size that most patients are getting is it a month's supply? Or are some patients getting three months' worth of drug with a single percent?

It's a month supply at this stage.

Okay. And then understanding that the 4WARD trial is blinded. But can you just remind us what your assumption was around patient dropout. And if there's any data that you're able to see on a blinded basis that would suggest that that assumption is holding up in the clinical trial.

Yes. So Steve what we're targeting as we shared is about 150 patients that enrolled and all of that has some degree of assumptions of either dropout or screen failures et cetera. So we're building that funnel. I think more importantly what we can see with the already enrolled subjects is really about their profile like are we in good shape on the 150 because that sort of sets our cost the answer there is definitely yes. We're seeing the right blend of idiopathic autoimmune and congenital balanced nicely. And then, of course, this is all blinded, but we're seeing the event rates that you would want to see early in the study to confirm our assumptions. So in terms of powering the 150 is belt and suspenders for the co-primary endpoints. So I think that gives you some confidence. In terms of the rate, there's so many ins and outs. What we can say is certainly based on everything we're seeing we're on track for that Q3 Q4 and full enrollment.

Okay. Very helpful. Thanks for taking the questions.

Thank you, Steve.

Thank you. Now we show no further questions at this time. I will turn the call back to Paula Ragan for closing remarks.

Well, thank you very much for joining us today. We're happy to follow-up offline with any other questions, and wish you all an excellent rest of your day. Thank you.

And this does conclude today's program. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect at any time.
