Forward Looking Statements Ventyx Biosciences, Inc. (“Ventyx” or the “Company”) cautions you that statements contained in this presentation regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs and expectations. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the expected year-end 2024 cash balance based on preliminary, unaudited information for the year ended December 31, 2024; the potential of Ventyx’s product candidates, including the potential of meaningful value creation through clinical trial results, potential of VTX3232 to demonstrate best in class profile, treat various neuroinflammatory diseases, including Parkinson’s disease modification, or to achieve certain drug concentrations in the CSF, the potential of VTX2735 to demonstrate best in class profile or treat various systemic diseases, and the potential of VTX002 in UC and class-leading safety and efficacy profile; the design of clinical studies to be conducted by the Company; the total addressable market for a Parkinson’s disease modifying therapy; the timing of clinical updates for all three Phase 2 studies of VTX3232 and VTX2735, including the publication of any clinical data from these studies in 2025; the regulatory pathway for VTX2735 and any expedited pathways that may be available; management’s plans with respect to a potential pivotal Phase 3 trial for tamuzimod (VTX002) in UC, supported by a partner or other source of non-dilutive financing; the need for a single pivotal study for VTX002; and the expected timeframe for funding Ventyx’s operating plan with current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We are in the process of finalizing our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the preliminary, unaudited information presented in this press release for the year ended December 31, 2024 is based on management’s initial review of the information presented and its current expectations and is subject to adjustment as a result of, among other things, the completion of Ventyx’s end-of-period reporting processes and related activities, including the audit by Ventyx’s independent registered public accounting firm of Ventyx’s financial statements. As such, any financial information contained in this press release may differ materially from the information reflected in Ventyx’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. You should carefully review our audited, consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 when they become available. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by Ventyx that any of its plans will be achieved. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this presentation due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in Ventyx’s business, including, without limitation: potential delays in the commencement, enrollment and completion of clinical trials; Ventyx’s dependence on third parties in connection with product manufacturing, research and preclinical and clinical testing; disruptions in the supply chain, including raw materials needed for manufacturing and animals used in research, delays in site activations and enrollment of clinical trials; the results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials not necessarily being predictive of future results; interim results not necessarily being predictive of final results; the potential of one or more outcomes to materially change as a trial continues and more patient data become available and following more comprehensive audit and verification procedures; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of Ventyx’s product candidates that may limit their development, regulatory approval and/or commercialization, or may result in recalls or product liability claims; Ventyx’s ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for its product candidates; the use of capital resources by Ventyx sooner than expected; disruption to Ventyx’s operations from the ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, including clinical trial delays; and other risks described in Ventyx’s press releases and Ventyx’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including in in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of Ventyx’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, filed on or about November 7, 2024, and any subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and Ventyx undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date hereof. All forward- looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This presentation includes statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties as well as our own estimates of potential market opportunities. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities for our products include several key assumptions based on our industry knowledge, industry publications, third-party research and other surveys, which may be based on a small sample size and may fail to accurately reflect market opportunities. While we believe that our internal assumptions are reliable, such assumptions have not been verified by any third party. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by third parties and by us.
