  Content	Aligos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGS, “Aligos”), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on improving patient outcomes through best-in-class therapies for liver and viral diseases, today reported recent business progress and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024. “2024 was a pivotal year for the company, paving the way for the future of Aligos,” stated Lawrence Blatt, Ph.D., MBA, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Aligos Therapeutics. “That future looks bright as we move ALG-000184 closer towards a Phase 2 clinical study, which is expected to begin in mid-2025. We continue to believe our CAM-E has the potential to be a first- and best-in-class candidate, by acting as a disease modifying agent for patients in need of better outcomes. Our recent fundraising is backed by investors supportive of our vision for ALG-000184, which has the potential to replace standard of care and become the backbone of treatment for next-generation therapies for chronic hepatitis B virus infection.” Recent Business Progress Corporate Updates Lesley Ann Calhoun was promoted to Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer The Company completed a $105 million private placement financing on February 13, 2025, which included participation from both new and existing institutional investors Pipeline Updates ALG-000184: Potential first-/best-in-class small molecule CAM-E for chronic hepatitis B virus infection Dosing continues in the ongoing Phase 1 study, with subjects expected to dose for up to 96 weeks. 96-week data readouts are planned to be presented this year at upcoming scientific conferences Interim data from up to 92 weeks following an oral daily dose of 300 mg ALG-000184 in both HBeAg+ and HBeAg- subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus infection were presented at the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease's (AASLD) The Liver Meeting (TLM) 2024 Data from ≤84 weeks following an oral daily dose of 300 mg ALG-000184 monotherapy demonstrated sustained HBV DNA suppression (<LLOQ <10 IU/mL) in 7/7 (100%) HBeAg-positive subjects All HBeAg- subjects achieved sustained HBV DNA suppression by Week 24 and 11/11 (100%) subjects achieved sustained HBV DNA <LLOQ at Week 48 with 10/11 (91%) subjects further achieving HBV DNA below the lower limit of detection (LLOD <4.29 IU/mL) Multi-log reductions in HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcrAg were observed in HBeAg+ subjects, and HBcrAg decline was observed in HBeAg- subjects. In both patient populations, ALG-000184 continues to be well tolerated with no viral breakthrough observed and no known CAM resistant mutations identified with monotherapy treatment The Phase 2 study is expected to begin in mid-2025 ALG-055009: Potential best-in-class small molecule THR-β agonist for MASH The Phase 2a HERALD data were presented at the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease's (AASLD) The Liver Meeting (TLM) 2024, demonstrating that ALG-055009 dose groups met the primary endpoint with statistically significant reductions in liver fat at Week 12 as measured by MRI-PDFF Doses of 0.5 mg to 0.9 mg ALG-055009 demonstrated statistically significant reductions in liver fat at Week 12, with placebo-adjusted median relative reductions up to 46.2% as measured by MRI-PDFF. Up to 70% of subjects achieved ≥30% relative reduction in liver fat compared to baseline, a positive prognostic indicator of histological improvements in MASH resolution and fibrosis reduction Eighteen subjects who were on stable GLP-1 agonist therapy qualified for enrollment in the study, with liver fat content meeting the inclusion criteria of ≥10% at baseline as measured by MRI-PDFF. Notably, 11/14 subjects on stable GLP-1 agonists treated with ALG-055009 had liver fat decreases, whereas 4/4 subjects on stable GLP-1 agonists treated with placebo had increases in liver fat over the 12-week dosing period Significant reductions in atherogenic lipids, including LDL-C, lipoprotein (a) and apolipoprotein B and dose-dependent increases in SHBG were observed. In particular, ALG-055009 demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction from baseline of up to 26.8% at Week 12 for lipoprotein (a), which is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease that has been resistant to treatment with statin therapy Treatment with ALG-055009 was well-tolerated, with rates of gastrointestinal-related AEs similar to placebo The company is continuing to evaluate a variety of options to fund continued development, including potential out-licensing ALG-097558: Potential best-in-class small molecule pan-coronavirus protease inhibitor Three additional clinical trials evaluating ALG-097558 commenced in 2024 AGILE University of Liverpool, a UK government supported platform trial (MRC and Wellcome Trust funding), is sponsoring and performing a study in high-risk COVID-19 patients evaluating ALG-097558 as monotherapy or in combination with remdesivir Clinical studies evaluating PK in special populations (renal and hepatic impairment subjects; NIAID contract) are on-going The NIAID is also sponsoring a drug-drug interaction and relative bioavailability study in healthy volunteers that is expected to start dosing in the second quarter of 2025 The company expects any future development of ALG-097558, including ongoing Phase 2 enabling activities, to be funded by external sources Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter 2024 Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $56.9 million as of December 31, 2024, compared with $135.7 million as of December 31, 2023. Inclusive of the private placement, which was completed on February 13, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents and investments will provide sufficient funding of planned operations into the second half of 2026. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $82.2 million or basic and diluted net loss per common share of $(13.08), compared to net loss of $27.9 million or basic and diluted net loss per common share of $(5.50) for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $16.0 million, compared with $22.3 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in third party expenses for the clinical trials.

Total R&D employee-related costs reduced by $4.2 million which was partially offset by increases in third-party expenses mainly related to increases in our ongoing clinical trial activities. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $5.2 million, compared with $6.4 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in G&A expenses for this comparative period is primarily due to a decrease in third party expenses including legal expenses.

G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $22.8 million, compared with $30.6 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in G&A expenses for this comparative period is primarily due to a decrease in third party expenses including legal expenses.
