Carvolix Announces Positive Three-Year Clinical Results for Kalios Adjustable Mitral Ring Carvolix announced positive long-term clinical results from a pivotal study with its mitral ring Kalios. The company previously reported the 1-year results from the Optimise II study on 20 patients treated with the Kalios™ adjustable mitral annuloplasty device in patients with both degenerative (58%) and functional (42%) mitral regurgitation (MR), including 6 patients who underwent peri-operative or later adjustment without cardiopulmonary bypass. As the cohort matures, follow-up is now available in 20 patients at 2 years and 15 patients who reached 3 years of follow-up. At 3 years, the results confirm both the safety and efficacy of the implant: No adverse events related to the device were reported up to 3 years; All evaluated patients have mitral regurgitation grade =2+ at 3 years which meet the primary endpoint of the study. Mitral regurgitation is evaluated by echocardiography with an independent core lab, confirming sustained long-term efficacy. The mitral valve leaflet coaptation length improved from 3.9 mm at baseline to 6.4 mm at 3 years, demonstrating significant and sustained improvement in structural valve function. These long-term results confirm and consolidate the previously reported 1-year interim data and continue to validate the value proposition of KaliosTM mitral ring. The analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint at 3 years of the adjustable mitral ring has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, and a related abstract is submitted for scientific communication. Kalios™ is the only mitral annuloplasty device that can be adjusted percutaneously to treat both residual and recurrent mitral insufficiency at any time after implantation, repeatedly and with a beating heart, thereby avoiding a repeat open-heart operation. Carvolix estimates that Kalios™ would prevent repeat surgery for potentially 30-40% of patients within 5 years. The market for mitral valve repair surgery is estimated to be worth $1.5 billion in the US-Europe region, growing at 3.5% per year. The European Optimise II pivotal study on KaliosTM has been designed to assess the medical device’s safety and efficacy in the surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation with catheter-based adjustment. In September 2023, the Company presented interim data on 20 patients treated in five clinical centers in Europe after one year of implantation. After one year, none of the patients had mitral regurgitation >2+, which met the study’s primary objective. Up to 100 patients are to be enrolled to obtain 62 evaluable patients at 1 year. Treated patients will be followed for 5 years post-surgery. Primary endpoints are the success rate of annuloplasty surgery defined by absence of MR of grade >2 and the safety at 1 year.

Carvolix SA, Annual General Meeting, Jun 30, 2026 Carvolix SA, Annual General Meeting, Jun 30, 2026. Location: 900 rue andre ampere batiments a et c, aix en provence France New Risk • May 22
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 20% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€12m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (12% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 20% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (51% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€38m net loss in 2 years). Revenue is less than US$5m (€900k revenue, or US$1.0m). Board Change • Apr 16
Less than half of directors are independent Following the recent departure of a director, there are only 2 independent directors on the board. The company's board is composed of: 2 independent directors. 4 non-independent directors. Independent Vice Chair Michel Therin was the last independent director to join the board, commencing their role in 2022. The company's minority of independent directors is a risk according to the Simply Wall St Risk Model. New Risk • Mar 20
New minor risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$5m in revenue. Total revenue: €900k (US$1.0m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€12m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (23% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (51% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€22m net loss in 2 years). Revenue is less than US$5m (€900k revenue, or US$1.0m). New Risk • Mar 05
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 0.0007% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€15m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 15% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (0.0007% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€23m net loss in 2 years). Price Target Changed • Mar 05

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of French stocks, typically moving 6.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-€11m free cash flow). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 26% per year for the foreseeable future.

Affluent Medical Announces Progress Toward European Clinical Study of Artificial Sphincter Artus for the Treatment of Urinary Stress Incontinence in Women Affluent Medical announced progress toward its upcoming SPHINX clinical study. The study, which is set to launch across Europe, in the second half of 2025, will assess the safety and performance of the Artus artificial urinary sphincter in female patients at leading medical centers in France, Spain and Belgium. This marks a significant step in expanding treatment options for women suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In preparation for the launch of the SPHINX study, Affluent Medical successfully completed the first implantation of its Artus device in a female anatomy model. The procedure was led by Professor Veronique Phe, a leading European urologist from Tenon Hospital in Paris, and evaluated the surgical approach in women. Utilizing the Da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopy system, it was confirmed that the device can be implanted with precision and ease, demonstrating its suitability for minimally invasive surgery. Severe Urinary incontinence is a widespread condition that significantly affects quality of life, with women accounting for approximately 80% of the more than 400 million individuals affected globally. Artus is designed to treat moderate to severe SUI through a fully implantable, adjustable device that patients can easily operate via remote control. The technology offers a minimally invasive and effective alternative to existing treatment options and has demonstrated promising results in male patients from the recently completed DRY pilot study.
