Keenova Announces Newly Updated Peyronie's Disease Study Results at American Urology Association MeetingMay 15, 2026 7:36 AM
PR Newswire (US) DUBLIN, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keenova Therapeutics plc announced today that new and final updated data from its dedicated ventral curvature analysis of Peyronie's disease and XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) will be shared at the American Urological Association (AUA) annual meeting, taking place May 15–18, 2026. The data to be presented will highlight that the clinical effectiveness and safety of XIAFLEX (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) in patients with ventral curvature are consistent with outcomes observed in patients with other clinical presentations of Peyronie's disease. "These new results are consistent with earlier studies and reinforce that XIAFLEX (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) is both effective and well tolerated for men with Peyronie's disease, including those with ventral curvature," said Jesse Mills, MD, Clinical Professor and Director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA, who is presenting the findings. "Such outcomes are encouraging to clinicians and patients looking for nonsurgical treatment options, and they underscore the importance of continued research to further expand our understanding of Peyronie's disease and its treatment."Presentation DetailsTitle: Final Results of a Multicenter, Retrospective Analysis of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH) for Ventral Penile Curvature in Peyronie's DiseaseAuthors: Matthew J. Ziegelmann, MD; Billy H. Cordon, MD; Majdee M. Islam, MD; Alexander J. Tatem, MD; Richard C. Bennett, MD; Faysal A. Yafi, MD, FRCSC; Peter Bajic, MD; Nelson E. Bennett, Jr., MD; Helen L.

Mills, MDAbout Peyronie's Disease
Peyronie's disease (PD) is a condition in which a buildup of fibrous scar tissue causes a curvature deformity of the penis. This curvature can be bothersome during arousal and intimacy.1 It is estimated that PD can affect as many as 1 in 10 men in the U.S.,2* but diagnosis rates remain low because men with PD may be too uncomfortable to speak up and get help.3XIAFLEX® PD Professional Indication and Important Safety Information INDICATION
XIAFLEX® is indicated for the treatment of adult men with Peyronie's disease with a palpable plaque and curvature deformity of at least 30 degrees at the start of therapy.IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR XIAFLEX WARNING: CORPORAL RUPTURE (PENILE FRACTURE) OR OTHER SERIOUS PENILE INJURY IN THE TREATMENT OF PEYRONIE'S DISEASE
Corporal rupture (penile fracture) was reported as an adverse reaction in 5 of 1044 (0.5%) XIAFLEX-treated patients in clinical studies. In other XIAFLEX-treated patients (9 of 1044; 0.9%), a combination of penile ecchymoses or hematoma, sudden penile detumescence, and/or a penile "popping" sound or sensation was reported, and in these cases, a diagnosis of corporal rupture cannot be excluded. Severe penile hematoma was also reported as an adverse reaction in 39 of 1044 (3.7%) XIAFLEX-treated patients.
Signs or symptoms that may reflect serious penile injury should be promptly evaluated to assess for corporal rupture or severe penile hematoma which may require surgical intervention.
Because of the risks of corporal rupture or other serious penile injury, XIAFLEX is available for the treatment of Peyronie's disease only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the XIAFLEX REMS Program.Contraindications: XIAFLEX is contraindicated in the treatment of Peyronie's plaques that involve the penile urethra due to potential risk to this structure and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to XIAFLEX or to collagenase used in any other therapeutic application or application methodCorporal Rupture or Other Serious Injury to the Penis: Injection of XIAFLEX into collagen-containing structures such as the corpora cavernosa of the penis may result in damage to those structures and possible injury such as corporal rupture (penile fracture). Therefore, XIAFLEX should be injected only into the Peyronie's plaque and care should be taken to avoid injecting into the urethra, nerves, blood vessels, corpora cavernosa or other collagen-containing structures of the penis. Cases of localized skin and soft tissue necrosis occurring as sequelae of penile hematoma, some requiring surgical intervention, have been reported post-marketingHypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis: In the double-blind, placebo-controlled portions of the clinical trials in Peyronie's disease, a greater proportion of XIAFLEX-treated patients (4%) compared to placebo-treated patients (1%) had localized pruritus after up to 4 treatment cycles (involving up to 8 XIAFLEX injection procedures). The incidence of XIAFLEX-associated pruritus was similar after each injection regardless of the number of injections administeredBecause XIAFLEX contains foreign proteins, severe allergic reactions to XIAFLEX can occur. Anaphylaxis was reported in a post-marketing clinical trial in one patient who had previous exposure to XIAFLEX for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture. Healthcare providers should be prepared to address severe allergic reactions following XIAFLEX injections. The safety of more than one treatment course of XIAFLEX is not knownRisk of Bleeding in Patients with Abnormal Coagulation: In the XIAFLEX controlled trials in Peyronie's disease, 65.5% of XIAFLEX-treated patients developed penile hematoma, and 14.5% developed penile ecchymosis. Patients with abnormal coagulation (except for patients taking low-dose aspirin, eg, up to 150 mg per day) were excluded from participating in these studies. Therefore, the efficacy and safety of XIAFLEX in patients receiving anticoagulant medications (other than low-dose aspirin, eg, up to 150 mg per day) within 7 days prior to XIAFLEX administration is not known. In addition, it is recommended to avoid use of XIAFLEX in patients with coagulation disorders, including patients receiving concomitant anticoagulants (except for low-dose aspirin)Acute Post-Injection Back Pain Reactions: Post-marketing reports of acute lower back pain reactions, sometimes accompanied by radiation to the lower extremities, chest and arms, muscle spasms, chest pain, paresthesias, headache, and dyspnea, have been received by patients treated with XIAFLEX for Peyronie's disease. These events can be mild to severe in intensity. The events typically lasted for 15 minutes and typically did not require intervention.
Administer the smallest number of treatment cycles necessary to treat the patient's curvature deformitySyncope and Presyncope: Most, but not all cases of syncope and presyncope in patients with Peyronie's disease, occurred in association with post-injection penile pain and hematoma, penile pain with spontaneous erections, and pain during micturition. These potential triggers suggest a vasovagal mechanism. Make patients aware of the potential symptoms that could trigger syncope and presyncope after treatment with XIAFLEX.
If presyncopal symptoms occur, patients should remain recumbent until symptoms resolve. Syncope may be associated with bodily injuries, including concussion, head abrasion, and other accidental injuriesAdverse Reactions
Clinical trials In the XIAFLEX clinical trials for Peyronie's disease, the most frequently reported adverse drug reactions (≥25%) and at an incidence greater than placebo included: penile hematoma, penile swelling, and penile pain.Post-marketing experience Acute post-injection lower back pain reactions have occurred in close temporal proximity to XIAFLEX treatmentsCases of localized skin and soft tissue necrosis events as sequelae of penile hematoma, some of which required surgical intervention Syncope and presyncope have been reported in men treated with XIAFLEX for Peyronie's disease. Most, but not all cases occurred in the immediate treatment period or within 1-2 days following injection. Bodily injuries associated with the syncopal events have been reportedClick for full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide.About Keenova

Keenova Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsMay 12, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Strong First-Quarter Performance Driven by Acthar® Gel1 and XIAFLEX®2Pipeline Development, Synergy Plan Remain on TrackReaffirms 2026 Net Sales Guidance of $1.94 Billion to $2.00 Billion and Adjusted EBITDA Guidance of $730 Million to $760 MillionConference Call and Webcast Today at 8:00 a.m. ETFirst Quarter 2026 Highlights3Acthar Gel net sales of $170 millionXIAFLEX net sales of $134 millionNet sales from continuing operations of $468 millionLoss from continuing operations of $114 millionAdjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $174 millionDUBLIN, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keenova Therapeutics plc ("Keenova" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. "We are pleased to report continued positive momentum, led by our two core brands—Acthar Gel and XIAFLEX," said Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Acthar Gel's strong growth reflects increased patient demand across all treatment areas while XIAFLEX benefited from strong field execution and demand growth, which will be further supported this year by refreshed direct-to-consumer advertising campaigns.""We continue to effectively implement our growth strategy in our core brands while maximizing the value of our established brands as we prepare to pursue a listing on the New York Stock Exchange in the second half of 2026," Mr. Olafsson said. "We remain confident in our ability to make meaningful clinical and operational progress this year in support of Keenova's mission to help patients with rare or unaddressed conditions live happier and healthier lives."Impact on Financial Results Due to Completion of Mallinckrodt-Endo Merger and Subsequent Par Health Spin-OffOn July 31, 2025, the Company (formerly Mallinckrodt plc) completed its merger with Endo LP (formerly Endo, Inc.) ("Endo") and recorded Endo's assets and liabilities on its balance sheet at fair value. On November 10, 2025, the Company completed the separation of Par Health, Inc. ("Par Health"). Keenova is required to present Par Health's assets and liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows as discontinued operations retroactively in its financial statements.First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsNet sales from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2026 were $468 million, an increase of $261 million over the same period in 2025, primarily driven by strength in sales of Acthar Gel and the inclusion of XIAFLEX net sales.Acthar Gel net sales were $170 million, an increase of 47% from the prior-year period, driven by robust growth across all therapeutic areas, resulting in an all-time high in new patient starts and the ninth consecutive quarter of growth. Year-over-year growth was supported by continued execution that drove market expansion, as well as the ongoing uptake of SelfJect. The year-over-year comparison also reflects the impact of improved patient access which began contributing to Acthar Gel growth in the second quarter of 2025. While the Company expects enhanced access to continue supporting patient demand in 2026, its contribution to Acthar Gel's growth rate is expected to moderate over the remainder of the year.XIAFLEX net sales were $134 million, driven by increased demand and price. A new Dupuytren's contracture awareness campaign launched this month, complementing a new digital campaign focused on Peyronie's disease that began rolling out in February.Loss from continuing operations was $114 million, compared to $75 million in the prior-year period. This change primarily reflects the continuing effects of costs and benefits associated with transactions that occurred in 2025. Strong performance of Acthar Gel and the inclusion of XIAFLEX net sales were more than offset by $158 million of incremental non-cash expenses related to fair value adjustments of inventory and intangible assets and the inclusion of Endo operating costs following the business combination.Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $174 million, reflecting the strength in Acthar Gel and XIAFLEX along with the realization of initial merger-related synergies.XIAFLEX Pipeline UpdatePlantar Fibromatosis: Topline results for the Phase 3 study are expected in July 2026, with regulatory submission targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026.Hammer Toe: An FDA End-of-Phase 2 meeting is scheduled for June 2026, with enrollment for the Phase 3 study on track to begin in the third quarter of 2026.Synergies UpdateIn the first quarter of 2026, the Company realized $23 million in synergies. The Company remains on track to realize pre-tax merger synergies of approximately $100 million in 2026 and $150 million of annual pre-tax, run-rate synergies by the merger's three-year anniversary.Reaffirmed 2026 Financial GuidanceFor the full-year 2026, Keenova reaffirmed the guidance the Company first issued on March 31, 2026, as follows: Acthar Gel net sales growth rate in the mid-teens.XIAFLEX net sales growth rate in the mid- to high-single digits.4Net sales of $1.94 billion to $2.00 billion.Adjusted EBITDA of $730 million to $760 million.The above Adjusted EBITDA guidance incorporates anticipated merger synergies to be realized in 2026. The guidance for net sales and Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account any potential acquisition or divestiture activity, including the potential sale of the PERCOCET business.The Company does not provide comparable GAAP measures for its forward-looking non-GAAP guidance or a reconciliation of such measures because the reconciling items described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA provided below are inherently uncertain and difficult to estimate and cannot be predicted without unreasonable effort. The variability of such items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this release for a discussion of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the first quarter.Please see the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for additional information.Conference Call and WebcastKeenova will hold a conference call for investors today, May 12, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.The audio webcast may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of the Company's website or through this webcast link.

The Company utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP when evaluating operating performance and assessing the Company's capital structure, and the Company believes that these measures will be used by certain investors to evaluate operating results and financial leverage, borrowing capacity and balance sheet risk. The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about performance and financial leverage across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding certain items, which may be favorable or unfavorable. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal-setting and performance measurement, these are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, metrics such as non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and similar metrics (unlike GAAP measures and relevant components) may differ from, and may not be comparable to, the calculation of similar measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's and Endo's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, audited financial statements, and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of certain of these historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release. Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures can be found on the Company's website at www.keenova.com.Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA represents net income or loss prepared in accordance with GAAP and adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, interest expense, net; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization; combination, integration, and other related expenses; restructuring charges, net; liabilities management and separation costs; gains/losses on debt extinguishment; gains/losses on divestitures; fresh-start inventory-related expenses; business combination inventory-related expense; share-based compensation; and other items identified by the Company.Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing OperationsAdjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) and as adjusted for income (loss) from discontinued operations.Forward Looking StatementsStatements in this Press Release that are not strictly historical, including statements regarding the future financial condition and operating results of the Company, expected product launches, legal, economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting Keenova's businesses and any other statements regarding events or developments Keenova believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, may be "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

Keenova Launches New Consumer Campaign for Dupuytren's Contracture: Don't Be a VikingMay 4, 2026 7:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Dupuytren's contracture, a.k.a. Viking Hand, is a progressive hand condition affecting an estimated 13 million AmericansDUBLIN, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keenova Therapeutics plc announced today the launch of its newest television commercial and disease awareness campaign, Don't Be a Viking.
The Big Idea
The bold concept taps into the condition's nickname, "Viking Hand," and follows a Viking's patient journey, from frustration and confusion in living with the symptoms to taking control and seeing a hand specialist.The campaign encourages people who may have symptoms of Dupuytren's contracture, as well as their loved ones and caregivers, to visit FindaHandSpecialist.com. The site helps individuals connect with a hand specialist who can provide an accurate diagnosis and discuss a full range of treatment options, including nonsurgical approaches."The lighthearted campaign shines a spotlight on the very real challenges people with Dupuytren's contracture face when they rely on a 'wait and see' approach or avoid treatment altogether," said Dayna Sracic, Executive Director, Consumer Marketing at Keenova. "Don't Be a Viking empowers patients to see themselves as confident, informed partners in their own care and speak with a hand specialist."Inside the Story
The condition is known as Viking Hand because of a historic genetic association with people of Northern European ancestry, although the incidence of the disease is now more geographically dispersed.1The commercial opens with a Viking in his kitchen battling a jar of pickles. He twists, strains, grunts, and finally loses his patience, smashing the jar with an axe in a burst of frustration. His wife rushes in, shocked at the sight of the mess and stunned that a simple jar has turned into a kitchen disaster.The couple then reaches out to a hand specialist who guides the Viking through diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment options. The specialist also helps him set aside his axe in favor of a modern approach. The transformation blends the rugged world of Viking lore with the landscape of contemporary healthcare, showing that even the strongest heroes sometimes need expert support.Why It Matters
The campaign concept is grounded in insights from consumer research, which shows that many Dupuytren's contracture patients delay treatment to avoid surgery and often learn to adapt to the condition instead of addressing it.2* Don't Be a Viking aims to motivate patients and those around them to take the important step of planning a visit with a hand specialist as soon as they are unable to lay their hand flat and discuss nonsurgical treatment options.Watch the commercial.Where It Shows Up
The 30- and 15-second spots will run nationwide on broadcast and cable TV, including ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Golf Channel, Tennis Channel, CNN, and Fox News. It will also appear on major streaming platforms such as Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, Paramount+, and Peacock, along with additional online placements. The campaign extends across social media, digital display, online video, and search, and is supported by materials in healthcare settings.About Dupuytren's Contracture
Dupuytren's contracture is a lifelong condition that may get worse over time. It's caused by a buildup of collagen in the hand, which forms a rope-like cord that pulls fingers toward the palm so they can't be straightened. As Dupuytren's contracture progresses, it may become difficult for individuals to use their hand(s) for daily tasks and activities.1,3 It affects an estimated 13 million Americans.4,5†About Keenova

"2025 was a transformational year for Keenova. We completed our evolution into a purpose-driven branded therapeutics company and delivered financial results above our expectations. We also began executing on our synergy plans and remain on track to meet our targets," said Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our performance underscores the positive momentum in the business and our team's disciplined execution. We have now delivered two consecutive years of double-digit growth in Acthar Gel, fueled by increasing patient demand and continued uptake of SelfJect™. XIAFLEX also performed well in the fourth quarter, and today we announced a significant milestone in our hammer toe clinical program."Mr. Olafsson added, "We have a strong foundation in place and meaningful value-creation opportunities ahead as we prepare to pursue a listing on the New York Stock Exchange in the second half of the year. Our team has embraced Keenova's mission to help patients with rare or unaddressed conditions live happier and healthier lives, and I am proud of their dedication to positioning our Company for sustainable growth and long-term success."Impact on 2025 Financial Results Due to Completion of Mallinckrodt-Endo Merger and Subsequent Par Health Spin-OffOn July 31, 2025, the Company (formerly Mallinckrodt plc) completed its merger with Endo LP (formerly Endo, Inc.) ("Endo") and recorded Endo's assets and liabilities on its balance sheet at fair value. On November 10, 2025, the Company completed the separation of Par Health. Keenova is required to present Par Health's assets and liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows as discontinued operations retroactively in its financial statements.Unaudited Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial ResultsNet sales from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $543.0 million, an increase of $277.3 million over the same period in 2024, primarily driven by momentum in Acthar Gel and the inclusion of XIAFLEX:Acthar Gel net sales were $205.6 million, an increase of 48%, primarily driven by higher demand and continued momentum in SelfJect uptake due to commercial investments and strong execution that drove category awareness and expansion.XIAFLEX net sales were $156.5 million.Loss from continuing operations is expected to be between $105.0 million and $115.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to income from continuing operations of $566.4 million in the prior year period. This change reflects costs and benefits associated with transactions that occurred in 2025 and 2024, including:In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recognized a non-recurring pre-tax gain of $754 million on the sale of its Therakos® business; andIn the fourth quarter of 2025, strong performance of Acthar Gel and the inclusion of XIAFLEX net sales were more than offset by $185.8 million of incremental non-cash expenses related to fair value adjustments of inventory and intangible assets, the absence of a tax expense associated with the Therakos sale recognized in the prior year period, the inclusion of Endo operating costs following the business combination, and $11.8 million of integration-related costs.Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is expected to be between $210.0 million and $220.0 million, primarily driven by growth in Acthar Gel and the inclusion of XIAFLEX net sales, together with the realization of initial merger-related synergies.Merger Synergies UpdateKeenova realized $13 million in pre-tax merger synergies in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company expects to realize pre-tax merger synergies of approximately $100 million in 2026 as it remains on track to achieve $150 million of annual pre-tax, run-rate synergies by the merger's three-year anniversary.XIAFLEX Pipeline UpdateHammer Toe: Proof-of-concept study enrollment was completed ahead of schedule in November 2025. Topline data demonstrated a favorable safety profile and met secondary and exploratory efficacy endpoints, enabling progression of the program into a registrational Phase 3 study. An FDA end-of-Phase 2 meeting is planned for the second quarter of 2026, with the start of the Phase 3 study expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.Plantar Fibromatosis: Patient enrollment for the Phase 3 study was completed on March 5, 2026. Topline results are expected in the third quarter of 2026; regulatory submission is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026.Capital Allocation PrioritiesKeenova's capital allocation priorities for 2026 include investing in organic growth to support commercial execution for Acthar Gel and XIAFLEX and fund targeted R&D to enhance the durability of the Company's portfolio.Additionally, the Company is exploring opportunities to enhance its portfolio. This includes bolt-on acquisitions that leverage Keenova's existing capabilities to add to growth, as well as opportunistic divestitures, including a potential sale of the PERCOCET® business.2026 Financial GuidanceFor the full-year fiscal 2026, Keenova expects to deliver:Acthar Gel net sales growth rate in the mid-teens.XIAFLEX net sales growth rate in the mid- to high-single digits.4Net sales of $1.94 billion to $2.00 billion.Adjusted EBITDA of $730 million to $760 million.The above Adjusted EBITDA guidance incorporates anticipated merger synergies to be realized in 2026. The guidance for net sales and Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account any potential acquisition or divestiture activity, including the sale of the PERCOCET business, which is expected to generate approximately $65 million in net sales and approximately $64 million in Adjusted EBITDA in full-year 2026.The Company does not provide comparable GAAP measures for its forward-looking non-GAAP guidance or a reconciliation of such measures because the reconciling items described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDA provided below are inherently uncertain and difficult to estimate and cannot be predicted without unreasonable effort. The variability of such items may have a significant impact on our future GAAP results.Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this release for a discussion of non-GAAP measures and reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the fourth quarter.Please see the "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for additional information.Conference Call and WebcastKeenova will hold a conference call for investors today, March 31, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial and operational results and outlook for 2026.The audio webcast may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of the Company's website or through this webcast link.

Such unaudited financial results are subject to completion of the Company's financial closing procedures. Actual results may differ materially from these unaudited financial results.As disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K furnished today with the SEC, the Company will file a Form 12b-25 with the SEC on April 1, 2026, which will have the effect of extending the deadline for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K") until April 15, 2026. The Company intends to file the 2025 Form 10-K on or prior to April 15, 2026. Please see the Company's Form 8-K for additional information.To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release includes certain financial information of the Company that is not prescribed by or prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP when evaluating operating performance and assessing the Company's capital structure, and the Company believes that these measures will be used by certain investors to evaluate operating results and financial leverage, borrowing capacity and balance sheet risk. The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information about performance and financial leverage across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding certain items, which may be favorable or unfavorable.Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal-setting and performance measurement, these are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, metrics such as non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and similar metrics (unlike GAAP measures and relevant components) may differ from, and may not be comparable to, the calculation of similar measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the Company's and Endo's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, audited financial statements, and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of certain of these historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release. Further information regarding non-GAAP financial measures can be found on the Company's website at www.keenova.com. Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA represents net income or loss prepared in accordance with GAAP and adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, interest expense, net; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization; combination, integration, and other related expenses; restructuring charges, net; liabilities management and separation costs; gains/losses on debt extinguishment; gains/losses on divestitures; fresh-start inventory-related expenses; business combination inventory-related expense; share-based compensation; and other items identified by the Company.Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing OperationsAdjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) and as adjusted for income (loss) from discontinued operations.Forward Looking StatementsStatements in this Press Release that are not strictly historical, including statements regarding the future financial condition and operating results of the Company, expected product launches, legal, economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting Keenova's businesses and any other statements regarding events or developments Keenova believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, may be "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

PR Newswire (US)
Previously unpublished clinical data support the potential long-term safety and efficacy of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) for plantar fibromatosis.The findings will be presented at the ACFAS Annual Meeting, highlighting progress toward a potential nonsurgical treatment option for a painful condition.Keenova's Phase 3 clinical trial is currently underway, with results expected mid-2026.DUBLIN, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keenova Therapeutics plc is presenting clinical data on plantar fibromatosis at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) Annual Meeting, taking place February 24–27, 2026.
Why It MattersPlantar fibromatosis is a progressive condition with no FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment options. Keenova is investigating collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) as a potential therapy. CCH is not approved for treating plantar fibromatosis.News You Should KnowNew findings from Study 306, an open-label extension of Keenova's phase 2 trial analysis show:Patients receiving initial treatment or re-treatment with CCH demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the earlier phase 2 study.Data support the potential long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of CCH in plantar fibromatosis.Keenova's Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating CCH for plantar fibromatosis is currently underway, with results expected mid-2026.CSO Perspective"We are pleased to share with the medical community these important data that help advance our understanding of this burdensome condition," said Dr. Marek Honczarenko, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Keenova. "We are progressing our program to pivotal Phase 3 study to advance a potential nonsurgical treatment option for patients with plantar fibromatosis, reinforcing our commitment to bring new therapies for challenging conditions."Zoom in: About Study 306Builds on earlier phase 2 results showing improvements in nodule hardness, consistency, and other clinical measures, including the reduction of pain associated with the condition.Participants entered a 180-day observation period without treatment, followed by an optional treatment phase for new or previously treated nodules.Participants who chose not to be retreated continued in long-term observation without receiving additional treatment.The primary endpoint was safety.Additional efficacy was evaluated using patient- and investigator-reported outcomes.Presentation DetailsTitle: Long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) in the treatment and re-treatment of plantar fibromatosis (PFI)Authors: C.

Plantar fibromatosis or Ledderhose disease is a hyperproliferative fibrous tissue disorder resulting in the formation of collagen nodules along the plantar fascia, the thick connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot, which is often painful. There is no cure for plantar fibromatosis. Symptom management options include custom insoles (orthotics), topical treatments, over-the-counter pain and anti-inflammatory medications, radiation therapy and steroid injections, and ultimately, surgery may be required to remove the nodules.About Keenova

Keenova Announces New Manuscript on Plantar Fibromatosis Treatment Patterns in Peer-Reviewed Journal of Foot and Ankle SurgeryFebruary 16, 2026 7:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)
Plantar fibromatosis is a rare condition, and most newly diagnosed patients receive conservative (nonsurgical) treatments.Real-world treatment patterns suggest symptoms may persist or return, creating an opportunity for more research on long-term outcomes and effectiveness.Keenova is actively evaluating a nonsurgical treatment option for plantar fibromatosis, with a Phase 3 clinical trial currently underway.DUBLIN, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Keenova Therapeutics plc announced the publication of a new manuscript presenting real-world evidence on treatment patterns for patients with plantar fibromatosis. The peer-reviewed article appears in The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, available here.
Why It MattersPlantar fibromatosis is a progressive condition with no FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment options. With no official treatment guidelines available, Keenova and its clinical partners are working to better understand how healthcare providers manage the condition in real-world practice. Keenova is also investigating collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) as a potential nonsurgical therapy. CCH is not approved for treating plantar fibromatosis.CSO Perspective"We believe patients with this rare condition deserve more treatment options, especially those seeking alternatives to surgery," said Dr. Marek Honczarenko, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Keenova. "That's why we are actively investigating a nonsurgical approach in our Phase 3 clinical trial, with the goal of supporting patient care and helping to improve quality of life for the people who need it most."What We LearnedFindings from the manuscript show:Plantar fibromatosis is rare, but it appears consistently in real-world data, indicating that it is regularly diagnosed and treated despite its low overall prevalence.Most patients receive treatments such as injectable corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids, and physical/occupational therapy.Although surgery is infrequent, conservative treatments often continue after surgery, which may suggest disease recurrence or persistent symptoms.These patterns indicate a need for more research to understand long-term outcomes and identify effective treatments for people with refractory plantar fibromatosis.Phase 3 StatusKeenova's Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating CCH for plantar fibromatosis is currently underway.Manuscript DetailsTitle: Real-World Treatment Patterns Among Newly Diagnosed Patients With Plantar Fibromatosis in the United StatesAuthors: Jill Davis, MS; Aimee Near, MPH; Jenny Tse, MS; Riddhi Doshi, PhD, MBBS, MPH; Elizabeth Wang, MS; Luis Ortega, MD; David Hurley, MD; David G.
