Simulations Plus, Inc. Announces Collaboration with Lonza Group Ag and U.S. Food and Drug Administration to Advance Predictive Frameworks for Complex Oral Drug Products Simulations Plus, Inc. had announced a funded research collaboration with Lonza Group AG and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to develop and validate a mechanistic, predictive framework for assessing the in vivo performance of amorphous solid dispersion drug products. Mechanistic modeling approach and experimental integration designed to improve early risk identification, strengthen regulatory confidence, and expand AI-enabled workflows connecting data to decision-making. The collaboration evaluates whether advanced in vitro dissolution systems—particularly those incorporating dynamic gastrointestinal physiology—combined with mechanistic physiologically based biopharmaceutics modeling, can reliably predict key in vivo outcomes, including food effects and the impact of elevated gastric pH conditions. By establishing and validating these predictive capabilities, the collaboration aims to provide a scientific foundation for reducing reliance on certain clinical bioequivalence studies while maintaining the rigor and transparency required by regulators. Lonza will lead experimental work, including in vitro dissolution testing under fasted, fed, and elevated gastric pH conditions using advanced systems such as Controlled Transfer Dissolution, as well as the characterization and, where needed, manufacturing of amorphous solid dispersion formulation variants. Simulations Plus will lead the development and validation of in vitro–in vivo extrapolation frameworks using its DDDPlus® and GastroPlus® platforms, translating experimental data into predictions of in vivo pharmacokinetics and supporting virtual bioequivalence assessments. At the same time, it creates new opportunities to extend these capabilities into grounded AI-enabled workflow environments, where data, mechanistic models, and simulation outputs will be more directly connected. The Company will also contribute to interpretation within a regulatory context, ensuring alignment with evolving expectations for model-informed drug development. This work is supported in part through FDA funding and includes ongoing engagement with FDA scientists to directly align with regulatory priorities to advance model-informed drug development, modernize bioequivalence assessment for complex products, and reduce unnecessary reliance on human studies. By combining regulatory collaboration with open, non-proprietary data and validated methods based on real-world, FDA-approved amorphous solid dispersion products, the initiative is intended to inform future regulatory approaches and support broader adoption of science-based alternatives.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 31% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Jan 30
