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

NEW YORK, February 28, 2019—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 deliverUGN-101 as the first approved therapy for patients withlow-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 ofUGN-101. We believeUGN-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 asimple-to-use, kidney sparing approach to the management of their patient’s disease.”

Recent Highlights

• UGN-101 Clinical Development:

o In the fourth quarter, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) forUGN-101 (mitomycin gel) for instillation, an investigational mitomycin formulation for thenon-surgical treatment of patients with LG UTUC.

o In January 2019, the Company announced positive topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 OLYMPUS clinical trial ofUGN-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 ofUGN-101 treatment.

• Pipeline Advancement:

o The Company continues to enroll patients as part of its Phase 2b OPTIMA II clinical trial ofUGN-102 (mitomycin gel) for intravesical instillation as a potential first-line chemoablation agent in the treatment of intermediate risk patients withlow-gradenon-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG NMIBC) at risk for recurrence.

• Corporate Developments:

o 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.

o 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 ofUGN-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 forUGN-101 in 2H 2019 and is planning for potential approval in 1H 2020. If approved,UGN-101 would be the first drug approved for thenon-surgical treatment of LG UTUC.

o The company continues to build out its commercial infrastructure and focus on scientific awareness to support adoption and seamless integration ofUGN-101 into the urologist practice following potential regulatory approval.

• UGN-102: The Company intends to report initial data from the OPTIMA II trial ofUGN-102 in 2019.

o Similar toUGN-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.

o 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.
