NON-IFRS AND NON-US GAAP MEASURE

The information presented in this MD&A includes a measure that is not determined in accordance with IFRS or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), being the term “Adjusted EBITDA”. “Adjusted EBITDA” is used by the Corporation as an indicator of financial performance and is obtained by adding to net profit or loss, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, share-based

compensation from stock options, certain restructuring costs and certain write-downs (or related reversals) of inventories. “Adjusted EBITDA” excludes the effects of items that primarily reflect the impact of long-term investment and financing decisions rather than the results of day-to-day operations. The Corporation believes that this measure can be a useful indicator of its operational performance from one period to another. The Corporation uses this non-IFRS measure to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. “Adjusted EBITDA” is not a standardized financial measure under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements of the Corporation to which the measure relates and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. A quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is presented under the heading “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA” in this MD&A.

The calculation of the “Adjusted EBITDA” in this MD&A is different from the calculation of the adjusted EBITDA (the “Marathon Adjusted EBITDA”) under the credit agreement entered into with affiliates of Marathon in July 2022, as amended from time to time, (the “Marathon Credit Agreement”) for the purpose of complying with the covenants therein.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies addressing unmet medical needs.

Our business strategy is to grow revenues from the sale of our existing and potential future assets in North America and to develop a portfolio of complementary products, compatible with our expertise in drug development and our commercialization know-how, while tightly managing our expenses, in order to achieve a positive Adjusted EBITDA.

OUR MEDICINES

We currently have two approved products: EGRIFTA SV® and Trogarzo® in the United States.

EGRIFTA SV® (tesamorelin for injection) is a new formulation of EGRIFTA® which was originally approved by the FDA in November 2010 and was launched in the United States in January 2011. EGRIFTA SV® was approved by the FDA in November 2018, was launched in 2019, and has now replaced EGRIFTA® in such country. EGRIFTA SV® can be kept at room temperature, comes in a single vial and has a higher concentration resulting in a smaller volume of administration. EGRIFTA SV® is currently the only approved therapy in the United States and is indicated for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected adult patients with lipodystrophy. We have been commercializing this product in the United States since May 1st, 2014.

Trogarzo® (ibalizumab-uiyk) injection was approved by the FDA in March 2018 and, in combination with other antiretroviral(s) (“ARV”), is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficient virus type 1(“HIV-1”) infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug resistant (“MDR”) HIV-1 infection failing their current antiretroviral regimen. Trogarzo® was made commercially available in the United States in April 2018 and was the first HIV treatment approved with a new mechanism of action in more than 10 years. The treatment is administered every two weeks. It is a long-acting ARV therapy that can lead to an undetectable viral load in combination with other ARVs.

On October 3, 2022, the FDA approved a 30-second intravenous (“IV”) push method of administration for Trogarzo®. In December 2023, the FDA approved the Company’s Labelling Prior Approval Supplement to include a 2000-mg IV push loading dose for Trogarzo®. IV push is a method by which the undiluted medication is “pushed” by syringe for faster administration into the body’s circulation and is designed to make the administration of Trogarzo® easier and more convenient for people with HIV and their health care providers.

OUR PIPELINE

Theratechnologies has established a promising pipeline of investigational medicines in areas of high unmet need, including innovative medicines in oncology and NASH. The Company’s research & development activities also works on extending the lifecycle of its approved medicines, EGRIFTA SV® and Trogarzo® in HIV.

Lifecycle Management of Tesamorelin in Lipodystrophy

F8 Formulation

On September 25, 2023, the Corporation announced the filing of a sBLA with the FDA seeking the approval of a new formulation of tesamorelin for use in lipodystrophy (the “F8 Formulation”). On January 23, 2024, the Company received a complete response letter (“CRL”) from the FDA. The questions outlined in the CRL are largely related to chemistry, manufacturing and controls concerning the microbiology, assays, impurities and stability for both the lyophilized product and the final reconstituted drug product. In addition, the FDA requested further information to understand the potential impact of the proposed formulation on immunogenicity risk. The Company held a type A meeting with the FDA in March 2024 to further discuss the contents of the CRL and received important feedback on the file. Theratechnologies is still addressing the FDA’s questions and will provide an update upon re-submission. The FDA has confirmed a four-month review.

The F8 Formulation is eight times more concentrated than EGRIFTA® and two times more concentrated than the current F4 formulation sold under the trade name EGRIFTA SV®. The Company plans to withdraw EGRIFTA SV® from the market if and when the F8 Formulation is approved by the FDA. The F8 Formulation can be kept at room temperature, comes in a single vial and has a higher concentration resulting in a smaller volume of administration than EGRIFTA SV®. The F8 Formulation has the distinct advantage of requiring a single reconstitution per seven days of daily therapy.

Sudocetaxel Zendusortide

Phase 1 Clinical Trial

After pausing the Phase 1 clinical trial in December 2022, we announced, on June 2, 2023, the FDA’s agreement to our amended Phase 1 clinical trial protocol for sudocetaxel zendusortide following the submission of such amended protocol. The amended protocol is designed to improve the therapeutic window of sudocetaxel zendusortide and extend its duration of therapy. The amended protocol includes a change in the frequency of administration to weekly dosing and a narrowing of the patient population to focus on those with high-grade serous ovarian cancer, including high-grade peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, or high-grade endometrioid cancer—a population in which preliminary efficacy has been observed thus far. Patient selection has also been refined to focus on those who are less heavily pretreated, with no more than one taxane failure and a maximum of eight prior cancer treatment regimens.

The amended study is a modified 6+6 design with two different dosing regimens that are within the efficacious range for sudocetaxel zendusortide: 1.75 mg/kg on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle (similar to 210 mg/m2 every 3 weeks) and 2.5 mg/kg on the same schedule (similar to 300 mg/m2 every 3 weeks). Four more patients could be enrolled at the higher dose, for a total of up to 16 patients in Part 3 of the trial. The amended protocol also includes an option for a basket expansion stage that would comprise patients with selected, difficult-to-treat tumor types in which sudocetaxel zendusortide has shown activity.

On February 15, 2024, the Company announced the completion of enrollment of the first six participants in Part 3 of its Phase 1 clinical trial of sudocetaxel zendusortide in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Each patient received a dose of 1.75 mg/kg on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. On March 21, 2024, we announced that we were moving to the next dose level in Part 3 of the Phase 1 clinical trial with the next 6 patients to receive a dose of 2.5 mg/kg. Study centers have been actively recruiting patients for the second cohort, such that we now have enrolled the six patients required to be treated at this higher dose.

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”), the Company has budgeted $4,800,000 to be allotted to the Phase 1 clinical trial and to other research and development activities related to its SORT1+Technology platform. Of this amount, $2,500,000 will be allocated to the Phase 1 clinical trial, $1,695,000 to laboratory work and employee salaries, and the remainder ($605,000) will be allocated to pharmaceutical development and other external expenses. In the six-month period ended May 31, 2024, the Company spent $977,000 on the Phase 1 clinical trial, $1,366,000 on laboratory work and employee salaries, and $157,000 on pharmaceutical development and other external expenses.

On March 22, 2024, the Company announced that it would phase down its preclinical oncology research activities, while continuing to conduct its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of sudocetaxel zendusortide, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The phasing down of those research activities is aligned with the Company’s business strategy to focus on its commercial business and generating positive Adjusted EBITDA and positive net income. As a result, for the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, $336,000 was recorded in charges related to severance and other expenses and a charge of approximately $200,000 is expected to be recorded in the second half of 2024. In addition, the Company recorded in the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, $766,000 in accelerated depreciation on equipment in research and development expenses.

The Company is currently reaching out to pharmaceuticals companies to out-license the rights to sudocetaxel zendusortide and to its SORT1+ TechnologyTM platform.

Tesamorelin for NASH in the General Population

On September 10, 2020, we announced our intent to study tesamorelin for the potential treatment of NASH in the general population using the F8 Formulation. In November 2020, we filed an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) with the FDA for a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating tesamorelin for the treatment of NASH and we received a “Study May Proceed” letter for such Phase 3 clinical trial from the FDA in December 2020. The letter contained a recommendation that the Corporation requests a meeting to discuss the questions and comments contained in such letter to address certain aspects of the proposed trial design to ensure alignment with the agency’s expectations with NASH trials. The Corporation followed up on the FDA’s recommendation and requested a meeting with the agency.

In July 2021, after completion of our discussions with both the FDA and the EMA, we announced that the final Phase 3 clinical trial design would result in higher costs than what we had expected and, as a result, we were assessing our options to best execute this program, including seeking a potential partner.

Currently, we are not planning on initiating this trial, unless we can find additional resources, including a partner. We continue to pursue potential NASH partners in the marketplace. We continue to maintain that the further development of tesamorelin allows the Corporation to keep its positioning as one of the few options for drug developers to immediately partner with a company in order to launch a Phase 2b/3 NASH clinical trial.

Recent Highlights:

Reorganization of Preclinical Oncology Research Activities

On March 22, 2024, the Company announced that it would phase down its preclinical oncology research activities, while continuing to conduct its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of sudocetaxel zendusortide, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The phasing down of those research activities is aligned with the Company’s business strategy to focus on its commercial business and generating positive Adjusted EBITDA and positive net income. As a result, for the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, $336,000 was recorded in charges related to severance and other expenses and a charge of approximately $200,000 is expected to be recorded in the second half of 2024. In addition, the Company recorded in the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, $766,000 in accelerated depreciation on equipment in research and development expenses.

Sudocetaxel Zendusortide Presentation at ASCO 2024 Demonstrates Signs of Long-Term Efficacy and Manageable Safety Profile in Patients with Solid Tumors

At the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, the Company presented Phase 1 data from Parts 1 and 2 of the clinical trial with its lead investigational peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) candidate, sudocetaxel zendusortide demonstrating signs of long-term efficacy and a manageable safety profile in patients with solid tumors.

Study results suggest a unique, multimodal mechanism of action for sudocetaxel zendusortide that are distinct from other cancer therapeutics, including induction of immune cell infiltration even in “cold” tumor models, inhibition of vasculogenic mimicry, targeting of chemotherapy-resistant cancer stem cells, and activation of the cGAS/STING immune pathway. Additionally, investigators observed an early efficacy signal primarily in female cancers (ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC]), with seven of 16 participants (44%) achieving a clinical benefit (complete response + partial response + stable disease), as confirmed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

As at May 31, 2024, approximately $2,828,000 had been used in connection with the NASH Phase 3 clinical trial. The amount spent on this program to date allowed the Corporation to advance the negotiation of the trial design for the conduct of a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial. We are unable to assess the amounts required to finalize the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial with the FDA since we have voluntarily decided not to respond to the last questions received in February 2022 in order to address these with any potential partner we may find to optimize the design, if deemed relevant. The Corporation expects that the recruitment and dosing of the first 350 patients would cost approximately $50,000,000. Subject to the quality of the data obtained from the treatment of the first 350 patients, the Corporation estimates that an amount in excess of $100,000,000 will be necessary to complete the Phase 2b/3 and Phase 3 clinical trial. As previously stated, we will seek a partner before initiating any additional spending on the NASH program.

As at May 31, 2024, approximately $11,078,000 had been used in connection with research and development activities in oncology. For Fiscal 2024, the Company has budgeted $4,800,000 to be allotted to the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating sudocetaxel zendusortide and for other research and development activities related to its SORT1+Technology platform. Of this amount, $2,500,000 will be allocated to the Phase 1 clinical trial, $1,695,000 to laboratory work and employee salaries, and the remainder ($605,000) will be allocated to pharmaceutical development and other external expenses.

In the second quarter ended May 31, 2024, the Company spent $588,000 on the Phase 1 clinical trial, $1,033,000 (including accelerated depreciation of $766,000) of on laboratory work and employee salaries, and $44,000 on pharmaceutical development and other external expenses.

Finally, the Corporation has not implemented new initiatives in terms of commercial and marketing activities, such that the funds earmarked for such use were added to its working capital. The variance between the amount reserved and the amount used as at May 31, 2024, represents funds held in cash pending their planned allocation as costs are incurred.

Revenue

For the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, consolidated revenue was $22,017,000 and $38,264,000, compared to $17,549,000 and $37,457,000 for the same periods ended May 31, 2023, representing year-over-year increases of 25.5% for the second quarter and 2.2% for the first half of the Fiscal 2024.

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, net sales of EGRIFTA SV® were $16,200,000 compared to $10,853,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, representing an increase of 49.3% year-over-year. Stronger sales of EGRIFTA SV® in the second quarter were mostly the result of strong demand for the product, combined with weaker than usual sales in Q2 of last year stemming from drawdowns in inventory early in the second quarter of 2023. Net sales for the six-month period ended May 31, 2024, which amounted to $25,786,000 compared to $23,564,000 in the same period in 2023, representing growth of 9.4%.

Trogarzo® net sales in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 amounted to $5,817,000 compared to $6,696,000 for the same quarter of 2023, representing a decrease of 13.1% year-over-year. Lower sales of Trogarzo® were mostly due to competitive pressures in the multi-drug resistant segment of the HIV-1 market, where Trogarzo remains an important part of the treatment arsenal but has lost market share to market leaders in the segment.

For the six-month period ended May 31, 2024, Trogarzo® net sales were $12,478,000 compared to $13,893,000 in the same period in 2023.

Cost of Sales

For the three- and six-months ended May 31, 2024, cost of sales was $4,547,000 and $9,831,000 compared to $4,909,000 and $9,602,000 for the same periods in fiscal 2023.

For the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, EGRIFTA SV® cost of sales was affected by a $251,000 and $1,088,000 provision related to the manufacturing of a batch of F8 Formulation of tesamorelin, as the F8 Formulation has not yet been approved by the FDA for commercialization. Trogarzo® cost of sales is contractually established at 52% of net sales, subject to periodic adjustment for returns or other factors.

Including accelerated depreciation ($766,000) of equipment used in the oncology program, following the decision to cease R&D activities related to the oncology program

R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were negatively impacted by a provision of $3,042,000 related to sudocetaxel zendusortide material which could expire before we are able to use it in our clinical program. We recorded no such provision in the second quarter of 2024.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses decreased to $6,367,000 and $12,068,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, compared to $6,479,000 and $13,293,000 for the same periods last year. The decrease in selling expenses in the six-month period ended May 31, 2024, is due in large part to tighter expense control in commercialization activities. Spending in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 has stabilized following the completion of cost-cutting measures implemented in Fiscal 2023.

The amortization of the intangible asset value for the EGRIFTA SV® and Trogarzo® commercialization rights is also included in selling expenses. As such, we recorded amortization expense of $360,000 and $720,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024 compared to $739,000 and $1,478,000 in the same periods of Fiscal 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, amounted to $3,090,000 and $6,846,000 compared to $3,716,000 and $8,168,000 reported in the comparable periods of fiscal 2023. The decrease in General and Administrative expenses is largely due to the implementation of cost-cutting measures announced in Fiscal 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $5,459,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and $5,212,000 for the six-month period ended May 31, 2024, compared to $(6,140,000) and $(10,032,000) for the same periods of Fiscal 2023. See “Non-IFRS and Non-US-GAAP Measure” above and see “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA” below for a reconciliation to Net Loss for the relevant periods.

Net Finance Costs

Net finance costs for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, were $2,183,000 and $4,308,000 compared to $1,943,000 and $6,883,000 for the comparable periods of Fiscal 2023. Net finance costs in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 included interest of $2,313,000, versus $1,874,000 in the second quarter of Fiscal 2023. Net finance costs in the six-month period ended May 31, 2024 included interest of $4,587,000 versus $3,658,000 in the six-month period of Fiscal 2023. During the six-month period ended on May 31, 2023, net finance costs were also impacted by the loss on debt modification of $2,650,000 related to the issuance of common share purchase warrants (the “Marathon Warrants”) issued in connection with the amendments to the credit agreement entered into with affiliates of Marathon Asset Management (the “Credit Agreement”).

Net finance costs for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2024, also included accretion expense of $382,000 and $756,000, compared to $609,000 and $1,142,000 for the comparable periods in 2023.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of stronger revenues and the tight management of expenses over the past year, net income for the second quarter ended May 31, 2024 amounted to $987,000 compared to a net loss of $10,013,000. For the six-month periods ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded net losses of $3,494,000 and $20,456,000, respectively.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Going Concern

As part of the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements, management is responsible for identifying any event or situation that may cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of the issuance date of the Interim Financial Statements, the Company expects that its existing cash and cash equivalents as of May 31, 2024, together with cash generated from its existing operations will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and debt obligations requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the Interim Financial Statements. Considering the recent actions of the Company, material uncertainty that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was alleviated effective from these second quarter interim financial statements.

In an effort to reach sustainable profitability, the Company has undertaken a number of measures to rationalize its operations, including a decrease in research and development expenses and has established a new operating structure focused on its commercial business (including, for example as described in note 6 (a) of the Interim Financial Statements). For the three-month ended May 31, 2024, the Company generated a net profit of $987,000 (2023-net loss of $10,013,000) and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $290,000 (2023- negative $3,562,000). As at May 31, 2024, cash, bonds and money market funds amounted to $36,028,000.

The Marathon Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including minimum liquidity covenants whereby the Company needs to maintain significant cash, cash equivalent and eligible short-term investments balances in specified accounts, which restricts the management of the Company’s liquidity (refer to Note 7 of the Interim Financial Statements). As at May 31, 2024, the material covenants of the Marathon Credit Agreement, as amended, include: (i) minimum liquidity requirements to be between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000, based on the Marathon adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Marathon Credit Agreement, the “Marathon Adjusted EBITDA”) targets over the most recently ended four fiscal quarters; and, (ii) minimum Marathon Adjusted EBITDA targets over the most recently ended four fiscal quarters. The breach of covenant provides the lender with the ability to demand immediate repayment of the loan and makes available to the lender the collateralized assets, which includes substantially all cash, cash equivalents and money market funds which are subject to control agreements. The Company does not currently have other committed sources of financing available to it.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least, but not limited to, 12 months from May 31, 2024, involves significant judgement and is dependent on the adherence to the conditions of the Marathon Credit Agreement or to obtain the support of the lender (including possible waivers and amendments, if necessary), on increasing its EGRIFTA SV® revenues and the continuing management of its expenses in order to meet or exceed the Marathon Adjusted EBITDA target and generate sufficient positive operating cash flows.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the Company will continue its operations in the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

Analysis of cash flows

We ended the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 with $36,028,000 in cash, bonds and money market funds. Available cash is invested in highly liquid fixed income instruments including governmental and municipal bonds, and money market funds.

For the three-month period ended May 31, 2024, cash generated by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities improved to $2,616,000, compared to a cash usage of $8,205,000 in the comparable period of Fiscal 2023, or an improvement of $10,821,000.

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, changes in operating assets and liabilities had a negative impact on cash flow of $2,906,000 (2023-positive impact of $4,643,000). These changes included positive impacts from a decrease in inventories ($769,000), lower prepaid expenses and deposits ($473,000) and higher provisions ($524,000), and also include a negative impact from higher accounts receivable ($2,858,000) and lower accounts payable ($1,781,000).

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, cash used by investing activities amounted to $639,000, and financing activities used $137,000 in cash, mostly related to payment of the second milestone to TaiMed Biologics related to the approval of the IV push method of administration of Trogarzo® ($1,500,000), which was offset by the sale of bonds ($1,363,000).

Factors Affecting the Variability of Quarterly Results

There are quarter-over-quarter variations in net sales revenue, principally due to changes in distributor inventory levels with some additional impact from time to time related to average net selling price, which is affected by changes in the mix of private payors versus government drug reimbursement plans. We have also taken steps to reduce spending in R&D, which had an impact starting in the third quarter of 2023 and is continuing in 2024 as we reduce spending related to our oncology program.
