CYBIN INC. REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Cybin Inc. has released its audited financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, and recent business highlights. The company also reiterated its anticipated pipeline and strategic milestones for the remainder of 2022.

"Cybin made important progress across the board in recent months, accelerating both our pipeline of proprietary investigational psychedelic-based treatments and strategic partnership programs. Our successful preclinical work has set the foundation for a seamless transition to in-human trials," said Doug Drysdale, chief executive officer of Cybin. "Over a very short time horizon, we have evolved into a multiprogram clinical-stage company, which marks the dedication of the Cybin team to developing improved treatment options for mental health conditions."

Recent business and pipeline highlights:

• Announced United States Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for its first-in-human phase 1/2a trial of CYB003 in major depressive disorder (MDD). The company received IRB approval less than two weeks after submitting an investigational new drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company expects to initiate the phase 1/2a study in mid-2022 pending IND approval with a potential interim data readout expected at the end of 2022;
• Accelerated clinical development of CYB004 for the potential treatment of anxiety disorders through the planned acquisition of a phase 1 study from Entheon Biomedical Corp. The CYB004-E phase 1 study is currently under way at the Centre for Human Drug Research in the Netherlands. The study is evaluating the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of intravenous N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in 50 healthy volunteers who smoke tobacco. This is the largest phase 1 DMT clinical study conducted to date. The study is expected to provide dose optimization and safety data to guide the clinical path forward for CYB004, the company's deuterated DMT molecule, and will replace the previously planned CYB004 pilot study. Preclinical data for CYB004 announced in April, 2022, showed significant advantages over inhaled and intravenous DMT, including improved bioavailability, longer duration of effect and rapid onset of effect and low variability;
• Strengthened the company's intellectual property (IP) portfolio with an international patent application for CYB004. In February, 2022, Cybin was granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office covering new chemical entity claims for CYB004 and various deuterated forms of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT until 2041. Cybin also announced the publication of an international patent application by the World Intellectual Property Organization covering inhalation delivery methods for multiple psychedelic molecules, including CYB004;
• Reported positive preliminary data from a pilot study of Kernel Flow, confirming Flow's ability to successfully measure psychedelic effects on the brain. Flow is a wearable neuroimaging technology device that can quantify brain activity in real time during a psychedelic experience with the potential to support data-driven, personalized psychedelic treatments. These pilot data from an continuing feasibility study suggested that Flow measurements confirmed changes in functional connectivity after ketamine dosing, which persisted for several days after administration. The pilot data also validated the design of the continuing phase 1 Flow feasibility study;
• Publication of peer-reviewed journal article in Frontiers in Psychology introducing EMBARK, Cybin's model of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. The EMBARK psychotherapy model will be used to support patients in upcoming clinical trials assessing CYB003 and CYB004 in MDD, alcohol use disorder (AUD) and anxiety disorders. The company has compiled a team of 28 expert faculty and advisers from leading universities and psychedelic research and training organizations for the EMBARK program.

Upcoming pipeline and strategic milestones

The company expects to achieve the following milestones across its pipeline and partnership programs:

CYB003: Deuterated psilocybin analog for the potential treatment of MDD and AUD

• The company expects to initiate its phase 1/2a placebo-controlled clinical trial of CYB003 in up to 32 MDD patients in the coming weeks.
• The company plans to report initial safety and PK data from the phase 1/2a study in Q4 CY2022.

CYB004: Deuterated DMT for the potential treatment of anxiety disorders

• The previously announced planned acquisition of a phase 1 DMT study from Entheon is expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to the completion of certain closing conditions and obtaining all necessary approvals.

CYB005: Phenethylamine derivative for the potential treatment of neuroinflammation

• Cybin plans to report preclinical data for CYB005 in Q3 2022, at which time the company expects to nominate a candidate and complete its assessment of the potential path forward for this candidate, including whether it be internally or by way of potential third party partners.

Kernel Flow

• The phase 1 Flow feasibility study is under way. This is a four-week study assessing the participant's experience wearing Flow, as well as brain activity, following the administration of ketamine.

"We gain confidence every day in our ability to create a true paradigm shift in the way mental health conditions are understood and treated. By working to develop treatment options that can potentially offer improved efficacy, greater remission rates and longer duration of effects, we have the potential to provide patients and providers with a new standard of care. We look forward to continued momentum and sharing meaningful data readouts later this year," Mr. Drysdale continued.

Fiscal year 2022 financial highlights:

• Cash and cash equivalents totalled to $53.6-million as of March 31, 2022.
• Cash-based operating expenses totalled $13.0-million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, of which $3.8-million were one-time, non-recurring costs. Non-cash expenses totalled $5.1-million, for a net loss of $18.1-million.
• Cash-based operating expenses totalled $45.8-million for the year ended March 31, 2022, of which $11.6 were one-time, non-recurring costs. Non-cash expenses totalled $21.8-million, for a net loss of $67.6-million.
• Cash flows used in operating activities were $9.7-million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, of which $1.4-million were one-time, non-recurring costs.
• Cash flows used in operating activities were $45.2-million for the year ended March 31, 2022, of which $10.7-million were one-time, non-recurring costs.

"Our financial position remains strong. Despite the overall softness in the markets, we are pleased with our industry leadership position and remain confident that we are on the right path forward to progress psychedelics into therapeutics," concluded Mr. Drysdale.

Additional non-cash consideration in the amount of $4,655.29 is being issued to the previous shareholders of Adelia Therapeutics Inc. in respect of the achievement of a previously announced milestone on April 1, 2022.
