Photocure ASA: Results for the third quarter of 2026

Oslo, Norway, 28 October 2026 - Photocure ASA (OSE:PHO) today reported
Hexvix®/Cysview® revenues of NOK 134.2 million in the third quarter of 2026 (Q3
2025: NOK 134.1 million), and Adjusted EBITDA of NOK 18.5 million (Q3 2025: NOK
18.9 million). In 2026, Photocure now expects product revenue growth in the
range of 10% to 12% on a constant currency basis (versus 8 to 11% previously)
and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion.

"Photocure is progressing toward an important evolution in its development:
building on an established commercial franchise while expanding our capabilities
across the bladder cancer diagnostic pathway. Our ambition is to combine the
reach of Hexvix / Cysview with non-invasive molecular diagnostics, advanced
imaging, artificial intelligence and real-world clinical evidence. We believe
these complementary capabilities can create new opportunities to improve patient
care, expand our addressable market and deliver sustainable long-term growth,"
says Dan Schneider, President & Chief Executive Officer of Photocure.

The company continued to execute on its plan to expand blue-light cystoscopy
(BLC®) use in Q3 2026 with the installation of 13 new Saphira tower
installations in the U.S., including 9 installations in new accounts and 4
upgrades. Photocure had 454 active accounts in the U.S. at the end of the
quarter, an increase of 20% versus the third quarter of 2025. Across Europe, a
total of 87 Olympus Visera Elite III BLC capable systems were installed since
the launch in Q1 2025 along with 29 upgraded rigid systems YTD from Karl Storz,
Richard Wolf and Stryker.

Total revenues were NOK 140.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, an increase
from NOK 135.0 million in Q3 2025. Reported EBITDA was NOK 4.0 million (NOK 10.2
million). EBIT was NOK -3.4 million (NOK 2.9 million). Cash and cash equivalents
were NOK 162.4 million at the end of the period.

"We have also strengthened Photocure's leadership team with the appointment of
Dennis Camporeale as our new Chief Financial Officer. Dennis has a strong
background in medtech and diagnostics investment banking, spanning mergers and
acquisitions, strategic advisory, business development and corporate finance.
This appointment supports our focus on disciplined financial management and
execution while we advance our commercial franchise and invest in growth
opportunities across the bladder cancer diagnostic pathway," Schneider says,
continuing:

"An important catalyst for our core business is the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration's proposal to reclassify applicable BLC systems from Class III to
Class II. Published in August, the proposal will establish a new regulatory
framework with special controls and a 510(k) pathway, subject to the FDA's final
determination. We believe this evolution will facilitate broader participation
by equipment manufacturers, expand the availability of compatible BLC platforms
and support wider adoption of BLC across U.S. healthcare systems. Combined with
our commercial infrastructure and mobile access model, the reclassification will
create a meaningful opportunity to accelerate market development and strengthen
our position in bladder cancer diagnostics."

Photocure continues to build a stronger body of clinical and economic evidence
to support BLC adoption in the United States. Recent publications using U.S.
real-world data have demonstrated cost neutrality between BLC and white light
cystoscopy (WLC) in the studied population and highlighted opportunities to
improve the prediction of bladder cancer recurrence and progression in
contemporary patients treated with BLC. Photocure's growing Cysview registry
provides a valuable foundation for understanding patient outcomes and developing
more individualized approaches to disease management. The evidence-generation
capability of the registry will serve as an increasingly important strategic
asset, supporting clinical engagement today while creating opportunities for
future predictive analytics and data-driven diagnostics.

"Following the acquisition of Vesica Health, AssureMDx is our second growth
engine and serves as a significant step in extending our reach earlier in the
patient pathway through a multi-omic, urine-based molecular test designed to
support risk stratification and the evaluation of patients presenting with
hematuria. By combining non-invasive molecular testing via AssureMDx with our
established BLC franchise, we can connect earlier risk assessment with
procedural diagnosis and subsequent patient management. We expect initial
AssureMDx revenue in 2027, with reimbursement secured during the first half of
2027," Schneider added.

"Artificial intelligence provides another opportunity to extend our capabilities
and differentiate our offering. Through our work with Claritas HealthTech and
its subsidiary Intelligent Scopes Corporation, we are advancing AI-enabled
technology designed to support physicians during BLC procedures, with the
potential to enhance tumor detection and resection completeness. The Photocure
and Claritas co-sponsored ENAiBLE trial has now recruited over 100 patients into
the study. Our collaboration with Artera to evaluate the ArteraAI Bladder Test,
which remains under development, illustrates the value of Photocure's Cysview
registry as a rich dataset to support the validation of emerging diagnostic
tools. These initiatives enhance complementary aspects of care, from
visualization during cystoscopy to pathology-based insights that may inform
patient assessment and management," Schneider expanded.

For 2026, Photocure now expects product revenue growth in the range of 10% to
12% on a constant currency basis (versus 8 to 11% previously) and continued
expansion of the adjusted EBITDA margin.

"We believe Photocure's opportunity extends beyond any single product or
technology. By combining an established commercial franchise with capabilities
spanning early risk assessment, procedural detection and data-enabled patient
management, we are building a broader precision diagnostics platform in bladder
cancer. At the same time, we recognize the need to navigate an evolving
competitive environment while continuing to demonstrate the clinical value and
commercial resilience of our established franchise. Our commitment remains to be
disciplined, generate evidence that matters to clinicians and patients, and
convert our growing capabilities into sustainable commercial growth and long
-term shareholder value," Schneider concludes.
