Investor conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET today

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 28, 2026 – Wave Life Sciences Ltd. (Nasdaq: WVE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on

unlocking the broad potential of RNA medicines to transform human health, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

“We’re accelerating WVE-007 to the next stages of development following the improvements in body

composition already observed in the Phase 1 portion of our INLIGHT trial, including profound reductions in harmful visceral fat, along with favorable safety and potential for once to twice yearly dosing,” said Paul Bolno, MD, MBA, President

and Chief Executive Officer at Wave Life Sciences. “This quarter, we expect to initiate the Phase 2a portion of INLIGHT in individuals with higher BMI and excess fat. Given WVE-007’s mechanism of

targeted lipolysis, we believe this portion of the study can deliver even more pronounced improvements in body composition. Importantly, we’ve designed the Phase 2a study to assess additional biomarkers of cardiometabolic health, which will

inform WVE-007’s broad potential across obesity and multiple indications, including MASH, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. We also plan to rapidly initiate investigation of WVE-007 in both the combination and maintenance settings soon thereafter.”

Dr. Bolno added, “We

continue to make significant progress advancing our RNA editing pipeline led by WVE-006 for AATD. Clinical data from our ongoing RestorAATion-2 trial of WVE-006 has already demonstrated the potential to provide a much-needed new therapeutic option. By correcting the root cause of disease, WVE-006 restores dynamic AAT

production to address lung manifestations and lowers harmful Z-AAT to address liver manifestations of the disease, with a therapy that is well-tolerated, non-permanent,

and highly specific. WVE-006 also avoids delivery with LNPs and collateral bystander edits and indels associated with DNA base editing. In May, we expect

to highlight data from our RestorAATion-2 trial, including results from our less frequent, 400 mg monthly dose and 600 mg single dose cohorts. We remain on

track to receive regulatory feedback on a potential accelerated approval pathway for WVE-006 mid-year. Building on our clinical success in RNAi and RNA editing, we are

advancing WVE-008, as well as a pipeline of additional hepatic and extra-hepatic siRNAs and AIMers.”

Recent Business Highlights and Expected Milestones

Obesity

WVE-007 is an investigational GalNAc-siRNA (SpiNA design) designed

to silence INHBE mRNA to induce fat loss without muscle loss, a promising therapeutic strategy to treat obesity with strong evidence from human genetics. WVE-007 is being evaluated in the ongoing

placebo-controlled INLIGHT clinical trial.

Phase 1 INLIGHT: In March 2026, Wave announced interim results from the ongoing Phase 1,

single-ascending dose portion of its INLIGHT trial in healthy individuals with overweight or obesity (average BMI of ~32 kg/m2, a population with less fat and lower BMI than those in Phase 2 and

Phase 3 obesity studies), which showed further improvements in body composition at six months following a single dose of WVE-007. WVE-007 continued to be generally safe

and well tolerated. At six-month follow-up, a single 240 mg dose of WVE-007 demonstrated continued total body fat reduction (-5.3%) with muscle preservation (+2.4%), as well as clinically meaningful reductions in visceral fat (-14.3%; p<0.05) and waist circumference (-3.3%) – exceeding the 5–10% visceral fat reductions that support robust correlations to clinical outcomes (lower risk of MASH, T2D, and CVD)1.

Preservation of muscle is a key differentiator from incretin treatments and is linked to health benefits including higher basal metabolic rate, improved insulin sensitivity, and prevention of weight regain. Activin E reductions were robust and

durable and continue to support potential for once or twice-yearly dosing.

Additional data from INLIGHT, including data from the 600 mg Phase 1 SAD cohort, are expected in 2026.

Phase 2a INLIGHT: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the Phase 2a multidose portion

of INLIGHT trial of WVE-007 (INHBE GalNAc-siRNA) in individuals with higher BMI (35-50 kg/m2) with and without type

2 diabetes. This placebo-controlled (3:1) portion of the trial will include multiple assessments over a 12-month period, including body weight, waist circumference, body composition (MRI and DEXA), liver fat (MRI-PDFF), HbA1c, lipid levels, CRP, and muscle function, with a first assessment at three months following the first dose. Data from the Phase 2a study will inform further development of WVE-007 in obesity, as well as in MASH, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Wave is on track to initiate the Phase 2a portion of INLIGHT in the second quarter of 2026.

Combination with incretin and post-incretin maintenance studies of

WVE-007 are expected to initiate in 2026.

AATD

(Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency)

WVE-006 is an investigational GalNAc-conjugated, subcutaneously

delivered, RNA editing oligonucleotide (AIMer) for AATD. The RestorAATion-2 clinical trial is fully enrolled through the 600 mg cohort, and dosing is complete in the single dose portion.

Clinical data from the 200 mg (single and biweekly) and 400 mg (single dose) cohorts of the ongoing RestorAATion-2 clinical trial have demonstrated WVE-006 achieved key AATD treatment goals by recapitulating an MZ-like phenotype,

characterized by basal AAT levels above 11 µM, wild-type M-AAT above 50% of total AAT, reduction of Z-AAT protein, and dynamic AAT production during an acute phase

response. These data will be included at multiple upcoming medical meetings including in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference

(Dr. Kenneth R. Chapman, MsC, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FERS, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto) on May 18, 2026 and in an oral presentation at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress (Dr. Pavel

Strnad, MD, Professor of Translational Gastroenterology and Senior Physician at the University Hospital Aachen, Department of Medicine III) on May 29, 2026.

Wave will hold an investor conference call and webcast at 5:30 p.m. ET on May 18, 2026 to highlight its AATD

program, including new clinical data from the 400 mg multidose cohort and 600 mg single dose cohort of RestorAATion-2. Wave also expects to share data from the 600 mg multidose cohort in the second half of

2026.

Wave expects to receive regulatory feedback on a potential accelerated approval pathway mid-2026.

PNPLA3 I148M liver disease

WVE-008: Wave is building on its clinical success in RNA editing

by advancing WVE-008, a GalNAc-conjugated AIMer for homozygous PNPLA3 I148M liver disease.

Wave will highlight preclinical data supporting WVE-008 in a poster

presentation at the EASL Congress.

Clinical trial application (CTA) filing for WVE-008 is on track for 2026.

DMD (exon 53)

WVE-N531: Wave remains on track to file a New Drug Application

(NDA) in 2026 to support accelerated approval of WVE-N531 with monthly dosing.

Bifunctional

modality

Wave is applying learnings from across its platform and chemistry optimization to investigate new bifunctional

modalities which combine RNAi and RNA editing or dual RNAi silencing into a single oligonucleotide construct. These constructs are designed to silence multiple targets or silence one target while simultaneously editing or upregulating another

distinct target. Wave expects to provide further updates on its bifunctional modality in 2026.

Financial Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $544.6 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $602.1 million as

of December 31, 2025. Wave expects that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations into the third quarter of 2028. Potential future milestone and other payments to Wave under its GSK collaboration are not

included in its cash runway.

Revenue recognized was $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $9.2 million in the

prior year quarter.

Research and development expenses were $47.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to

$40.6 million in the same period in 2025.

General and administrative expenses were $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to

$18.4 million in the same period in 2025.

Net loss was $26.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 as compared to a net loss of $46.9 million in

the prior year quarter.
