MIAMI, FL – August 10, 2026 – Veru Inc. (NASDAQ: VERU), a late clinical stage

biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative medicines for the treatment of cardiometabolic and inflammatory diseases, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided an update

on progress of its clinical development programs.

“We are extremely pleased with the continued enobosarm progress during this past quarter,”

said Mitchell Steiner, M.D., Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Veru Inc. “We reached full enrollment of the Phase 2b PLATEAU clinical trial and entered into a clinical supply agreement with Novo Nordisk for the Phase 2b

PLATEAU clinical trial.* In addition, we received from the USPTO a notice of allowance for a key U.S. patent for enobosarm with semaglutide for high quality weight loss which when issued, will provide U.S. patent protection until at least October

2044.”

Dr. Steiner added: “We believe these accomplishments mark important milestones in advancing enobosarm as a potential important

combination therapy with GLP-1 receptor agonists. There is a significant unmet medical need to make weight reduction more tissue selective by maximizing fat loss while preserving lean mass, physical function,

and bone mineral density for the highest quality weight reduction especially in older patients who have low muscle reserves and obesity. I want to thank both the patients and the investigators for their enthusiasm to expeditiously reach full

enrollment for this very important study. We remain on track to achieve the near-term milestone of reporting the interim analysis results from the Phase 2b PLATEAU clinical trial in the first quarter of calendar year 2027.”

Obesity Program

Evaluating enobosarm in combination with GLP-1 RA for higher quality weight reduction in older patients with obesity

Fully Enrolled Phase 2b PLATEAU Clinical Study

The

Phase 2b PLATEAU clinical trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of enobosarm 3mg on total body weight, fat mass, lean mass, physical function, bone mineral density and safety in older patients (age ≥ 65

years) who have obesity (BMI ≥ 35) and are initiating semaglutide treatment for weight reduction. During the past quarter, the Company exceeded its Phase 2b PLATEAU clinical trial targeted full enrollment of 200 patients by enrolling 239

patients. The Phase 2b PLATEAU study is designed to assess the ability of enobosarm treatment to break through the weight loss plateau observed in patients with obesity receiving GLP-1 RA treatment by

preserving muscle mass and physical function to achieve clinically meaningful incremental weight reduction by 68 weeks.

The primary efficacy endpoint of

the study is the percent change from baseline in total body weight at 68 weeks. The key secondary endpoints are total fat mass, total lean mass, physical function (stair climb test), mobility disability assessment, bone mineral density, and patient

reported outcome questionnaires for physical function, HbA1c, and insulin resistance. Results of an interim analysis assessing lean body mass and fat mass as measured by DXA after patients have completed 32 weeks is expected in the first quarter of

calendar year 2027. Final topline clinical data is expected in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2027. The Principal Investigator for the Phase 2b PLATEAU clinical trial is Steven Heymsfield, MD, a Professor and the Director of the Body

Composition-Metabolism Laboratory at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dr. Heymsfield was also the Principal Investigator of Veru’s Phase 2 QUALITY clinical study.

Completed Positive Phase 2b QUALITY Clinical Study

The

Phase 2b QUALITY clinical study was a positive multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-finding clinical trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of enobosarm 3 mg, enobosarm 6 mg, or placebo as a treatment to augment fat

loss and to prevent muscle loss in 168 older patients (≥60 years of age) receiving semaglutide (Wegovy®**) for weight reduction. After the efficacy dose-finding portion of the Phase 2b

QUALITY clinical trial was completed at 16 weeks, participants continued into a Phase 2b maintenance extension study where all patients discontinued semaglutide treatment, but continued receiving placebo, enobosarm 3 mg, or enobosarm 6 mg as

monotherapy in a double-blind fashion for 12 weeks. The Phase 2b QUALITY and Maintenance Extension clinical trial was a positive study that demonstrated that enobosarm plus semaglutide preserved lean mass and physical function and led to greater fat

loss during the 16 week active weight loss period and enobosarm monotherapy prevented the regain of weight lost when the GLP-1 RA was discontinued.

Recent Developments Regarding Enobosarm Intellectual Property

Recently the Company received from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application titled

“Compositions Comprising Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator Compounds in Combination with Weight Loss Drugs and Uses Thereof for Quality Weight Loss.” The Notice of Allowance indicates that the USPTO has determined that the patent

application meets the requirements for patentability and is expected to issue as a U.S. patent.

The Notice of Allowance encompasses treatment regimens

where: (i) enobosarm is concurrently given with semaglutide; (ii) enobosarm is added to initial semaglutide monotherapy with said co-therapy continuing; and (iii) enobosarm continues or is

initiated as monotherapy after semaglutide therapy is discontinued.

The allowed claims are directed to the: (i) preservation, restoration, or gaining of lean body mass;

(ii) preservation, restoration, or gaining of muscle mass; (iii) enhancement of fat mass loss, including reducing abdominal, subcutaneous, or intramuscular fat accumulation, improving body composition, lowering body fat content, and

lowering fat mass; (iv) preservation, restoration, or improvement of physical function and the corresponding prevention or treatment of a number of conditions that can result from decreased physical function such as reducing or treating muscle

weakness, poor balance, decreased gait speed, mobility disability, loss of independence, increased risk of falls, loss of physical function, physical disability, poor quality of life, high hospitalization rates, and/or increased mortality;

(v) preservation, restoration, or gaining of bone, and the corresponding prevention or treatment of bone fractures; (vi) overcoming or improving of insulin resistance; (vii) improving of HbA1c; (viii) reduction of or treatment to

prevent total body weight gain rebound after discontinuing semaglutide; (ix) reduction of or treatment to prevent fat mass gain rebound after discontinuing semaglutide; and (x) treatment to prevent or restore lean mass loss during rebound

after discontinuing semaglutide.

When issued, this U.S. patent will have a patent expiry of at least October 3, 2044, prior to the potential

application of any patent term adjustment or patent term extension.

These allowed claims add to the Company’s growing intellectual property

portfolio for enobosarm for quality weight loss, including already issued enobosarm specific polymorph composition of matter patents, as well as a number of other pending uses of selective androgen receptor modulator compounds alone or in

combination with weight loss drugs for quality weight loss and chronic weight management patent applications. In addition, the patent portfolio of Veru includes patent applications directed to a novel, oral, modified-release enobosarm formulation,

which if such patent were to issue, would provide patent protection until at least May 2046.

The Company owns a worldwide portfolio of patent

applications directed to the methods of use of enobosarm in combination with weight loss drugs for higher quality weight loss and incremental weight loss. These claims encompass weight loss drugs including incretin containing drugs such as GLP-1 RA drugs. The Company continues to prosecute a number of pending patent applications worldwide covering a number of different weight loss drugs beyond semaglutide.
