    • Potential FDA marketing authorization is anticipated in late 2027.
    • A potential U.S. commercial launch is targeted for early 2028.
  • Business Segments and Product Lines:

    • The REMAIN-1 Pivotal Cohort met its six-month co-primary endpoint with high statistical significance (p=0.0023).
    • Revita participants retained approximately 80% of GLP-1-induced weight loss versus 67% for the sham group at six months.
    • 32% of Revita participants were weight stable or had further weight loss at six months post-GLP-1 discontinuation, compared to 18% for sham.
    • A dose-dependent effect was observed: participants receiving 12 to 18 cm of duodenal ablation had 43% less regain than sham, while those receiving 20 cm or more had 53% less regain.
    • The Company is discontinuing internal development of the Rejuva gene therapy program and is seeking strategic alternatives for the asset.
    • The Company adopted a plan to sharpen strategic focus on Revita, concentrating financial and operational resources on advancing the program toward FDA marketing authorization.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • The Company estimates approximately 1 million Americans discontinue GLP-1s each month, creating a market opportunity for post-GLP-1 weight maintenance.
    • The American Medical Association published Category III CPT code 1122T for the Revita procedure, effective January 1, 2027.
    • The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed the RAPID pathway to align Medicare coverage with FDA authorization for breakthrough devices; Fractyl expects to learn of CMS adoption in early January 2027.
    • Market research indicated that 33% of nearly 300 current or recent GLP-1 users preferred stopping GLP-1 therapy and receiving a hypothetical endoscopic procedure.
    • The commercial launch plan targets the top 100 to 200 of approximately 1,000 accredited bariatric centers in the U.S., beginning with 30 to 50 centers in the first year.
    • The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 12,740,821 covering features of the Revita single-use catheter, with a term extending to November 28, 2042.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • The Company faces the risk that the FDA may not accept a De Novo marketing application submission or may not grant marketing authorization for the Revita DMR System.
    • There is no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives for Rejuva will result in any transaction.
    • Final pathway determinations by the FDA will be made following review of the complete safety dataset.
    • The Company must comply with the minimum liquidity covenant under its credit agreement.
    • Actual results may differ from forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • CEO Harith Rajagopalan described the positive pivotal results from REMAIN-1 as a "defining moment" for Fractyl.
    • Management stated the capital on hand is sufficient to fund the planned De Novo submission and upcoming 12-month pivotal data.
    • The Company aims to establish a new therapeutic category of post-GLP-1 weight maintenance by reversing diet-induced damage to the gut.
    • Management highlighted that the treatment effect grew over time, with the difference in weight regain between Revita and sham nearly doubling from Month 3 to Month 6.
    • Interim safety data showed no device- or procedure-related serious adverse events, no deaths, and no unanticipated adverse device effects.
  • Other Key Points:

    • The Company announced a workforce reduction of approximately 45%, with an estimated $2 million in severance and termination-related costs to be incurred primarily in Q4 2026.
    • Michael Wartell was appointed as an independent director effective November 2, 2026, increasing the Board size from nine to ten members.
    • A 1-for-12 reverse stock split was effected on October 2, 2026, with share and per share information retroactively adjusted.
    • The Company hosted a Commercial Investor Day in September 2026 outlining the path to commercializing Revita.
