Exhibit 99.1

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Cullgen Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cullgen Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

Gyre Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2026 Results and Provides Business Update

Q1 2026 revenue of $22.5 million; GAAP basic EPS: $(0.10)

Full year 2026 revenue guidance of $100.5 to $111.0 million affirmed

NDA for F351 (hydronidone) for CHB-associated liver fibrosis submitted to China’s CDE in March 2026

Completed acquisition of Cullgen in an approximately $300 million all-stock transaction, expanding pipeline into inflammatory diseases and cancers

First patient enrolled in Phase 2/3 trial evaluating ETUARYTM for radiation-induced lung injury, including immune-related pneumonitis

SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (Gyre, the Company or Gyre Therapeutics) (Nasdaq: GYRE), an innovative, commercial stage biopharmaceutical company with operations in the United States and China, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

“Building on our successful pre-NDA meeting with China’s CDE at the beginning of the year, we are particularly encouraged by the NMPA’s priority review designation for F351, reinforcing both the strength of our clinical data and the significant unmet need in liver fibrosis,” said Ying Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Gyre Therapeutics. “In parallel, our acquisition of Cullgen expands our capabilities into targeted protein degradation, positioning Gyre to drive long-term innovation beyond fibrosis. We believe these achievements strengthen our foundation as a fully integrated, multi-national biopharmaceutical company as we advance our mission to deliver transformative therapies to patients worldwide.”

First Quarter Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

Commercial Products:

ETUARYTM (pirfenidone), the Company's primary product, generated $21.0 million in sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $21.7 million for the same period in 2025. EtorelTM (nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsules), which was launched in June 2025, generated $0.7 million in sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Pipeline Development Updates

Hydronidone (F351):

In March 2026, Gyre announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) granted priority review designation to F351 for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-associated liver fibrosis. Subsequently, Gyre, through its majority-owned subsidiary Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the CDE to seek conditional approval for this indication, which is currently under completeness review for acceptance.

Pirfenidone (ETUARYTM):

A Phase 3 trial of pirfenidone for the treatment of pneumoconiosis (PD) in the People's Republic of China (PRC) completed enrollment in 2025. A total of 272 patients were enrolled evaluating the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of pirfenidone capsule treatment in patients with PD versus placebo. The final patient is expected to complete the study in the third quarter of 2026.

In April 2026, Gyre initiated its adaptive Phase 2/3 clinical trial in oncology-related pulmonary complications, with the first patient enrolled. The trial is evaluating pirfenidone for radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), including cases complicated by immune-related pneumonitis, at leading oncology centers.

Corporate Updates:

• In March 2026, Gyre announced its acquisition of Cullgen Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, to create a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company with U.S.- and China-based capabilities. The transaction was completed in May 2026. The acquisition will supplement Gyre’s fibrosis-focused pipeline with novel targeted protein degrader and degrader antibody conjugate product candidates designed to eliminate therapeutically relevant proteins in patients for the treatment of critical conditions including inflammatory diseases and cancers.

• Concurrent with the acquisition of Cullgen, Gyre is undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of its pipeline and clinical development strategy to prioritize programs across the combined organization. The Company intends to provide further updates regarding its strategic direction upon completion of this evaluation.

Financial Results

Cash Position

As of March 31, 2026, Gyre held $37.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $12.3 million in short-term bank deposits, and $29.4 million in long-term certificates of deposit, totaling $79.2 million. Compared to $75.9 million as of December 31, 2025, total cash increased by $3.3 million, or 4%, primarily driven by higher customer collections and reduced tax payments.
