IRELAND - May 7, 2026 - Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: TBPH) today reported financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2026.
delivered strong financial performance in the first quarter, reinforcing the quality of our commercial asset, our robust balance sheet
and the important actions underway to reshape our cost structure, following the outcome of the CYPRESS study," said
Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer of Theravance Biopharma. "YUPELRI continues to deliver sustained net
sales growth and expanding profitability, supported by growing community and hospital adoption, improved net pricing, and the recent resolution
of generic litigation, driving increased long-term value for the franchise. TRELEGY also continued to perform well, and we remain confident
that we will achieve the $100 million milestone payment associated with 2026 net sales. The entire Theravance team is acting with discipline
and urgency, and we are confident that the continued execution against our strategic priorities and the Board's ongoing review process
will maximize value for shareholders."
Strategic Review Committee
In 2024, the Theravance
Board of Directors formed a Strategic Review Committee (the "Committee") composed entirely of independent directors to assess
all strategic alternatives available to the Company. Since then, the Committee has been working on an ongoing basis with Lazard, its independent
financial advisor, to evaluate opportunities to maximize shareholder value, including under multiple potential outcomes for the
CYPRESS study, which the Company announced on March 3rd did not meet the primary endpoint. Building upon this work, the Committee
is acting with urgency to evaluate a broad range of value maximizing and tax efficient alternatives, including but not limited to a sale
of the Company. In connection with the Company's March 3rd announcement to wind down the ampreloxetine program and implement
an organizational restructuring, the Committee has accelerated its evaluation of strategic alternatives for the Company. There can be
no assurance that the Committee's strategic review process will result in any transaction. Theravance Biopharma does not intend
to disclose further developments on this review process unless and until it determines that such disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

First Quarter Financial Results
2026 Financial Guidance
Biopharma is implementing an organizational restructuring to streamline costs and align its resources with its commercial focus on YUPELRI.
The restructuring will involve winding down the R&D function and significantly reducing the G&A function. The restructuring
is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately 60%, relative to 2025 actuals of $111.1 million. The full run-rate cost savings
of approximately $70 million are expected to fully materialize in the third quarter of 2026.
Together, the cost savings from the restructuring
and continued sales from YUPELRI are expected to result in the Company generating approximately $60 to $70 million of annualized cash
flow, starting in the third quarter of 2026. This cash flow projection is comprised of an estimated $45 to $55 million of Income from
Operations (excluding non-cash share-based compensation) and projected Interest and Other Income, and does not include potential income
from the $100 million TRELEGY milestone.
The restructuring is expected to impact approximately
50% of the overall workforce. This reduction includes the wind-down of the R&D organization and a decrease of approximately 50% in
G&A employees. These actions are expected to be implemented over the next two quarters, and the Company expects to incur approximately
$5 to $7 million in one-time cash severance costs related to these actions.
Beginning last quarter, earnings results are being released via press
release only. The Company will not host a conference call or webcast to discuss quarterly results.
6 Non-GAAP profit (loss) consists of GAAP net income (loss)
before taxes less (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) non-cash interest expense, and (iii) non-recurring revenue and income items.
