SERA PROGNOSTICS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Salt Lake City – August 12, 2026 – Sera Prognostics Inc., The Pregnancy Company® (Nasdaq: SERA), focused on improving maternal and neonatal health by providing innovative pregnancy biomarker information to doctors and patients, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Key Second Quarter and Recent Highlights:

• Advanced Commercial Adoption Strategy with Fourth Partnership Program Launch: In August 2026, we launched fourth partnership program, expanding implementation of PreTRM® Test-guided care through a state-based initiative with a national payer. We also exceeded our 2026 payer engagement objective, with active discussions now spanning more than 20 payer opportunities across over 20 states, and are increasingly focused on advancing implementation, reimbursement readiness, and adoption within priority markets.

• Illinois Medicaid Coverage Mandate Expands Access to PreTRM-Test: In June 2026, Illinois enacted legislation (Public Act 104-0470, Section 5-54) requiring Medicaid coverage and reimbursement for prescribed proteomic blood tests used to identify spontaneous preterm birth risk and associated interventions. In July, the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services published a Provider Notice confirming the coverage of biomarker testing to include assessing risk of preterm birth in pregnant individuals. The Department also confirmed for providers that coverage applies to all Medicaid pregnancies in Illinois, representing approximately 50,000 annual Medicaid births.

• Scientific Recognition Highlights New Clinical and Economic PRIME Data: Two abstracts from the PRIME randomized controlled trial were accepted for presentation at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) Global Congress 2026, reflecting continued external validation of our growing clinical evidence base.

▪ Oral Presentation: Subgroup analysis evaluating outcomes among first-time mothers (nulliparous pregnancies), selected as one of 63 oral presentations from more than 400 submissions.

▪ Top-Ranked Poster Presentation: New health economic analysis assessing the clinical and economic impact of PreTRM test-guided care, recognized among the top five posters in its session.

• Advanced European Regulatory and Commercial Readiness: European expert commentary published supporting the role of biomarker-based risk prediction and biology-driven prevention strategies in addressing preterm birth, the convening of a European Expert Advisory Board representing nine countries, and completion of additional ELISA-based assay performance testing strengthened our CE marking submission package, with pre-application activities expected to commence in the third quarter and submission to conclude in the fourth quarter of 2026.

• Publication Demonstrates Clinical and Health Economic Value in First-Time Pregnancies: In July 2026, a PRIME study subgroup analysis was published in The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine demonstrating that PreTRM test-guided care reduced NICU admissions by 22% among first-time mothers, including a two-fold reduction among newborns following spontaneous preterm birth, while reducing severe composite neonatal morbidity by 30%. The analysis also demonstrated strong screening efficiency, with only 28 first-time pregnancies needing to be screened and treated to prevent one NICU admission.

• Strengthened Leadership Team and Board to Support Commercial Growth: Expanded commercial leadership capabilities in marketing and payer and government strategy and appointed healthcare diagnostics veteran Mark Capone to the Board of Directors, adding deep expertise in diagnostics commercialization, reimbursement, and scaling innovative healthcare businesses.

• Maintained Strong Balance Sheet: Ended the quarter with approximately $80.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities that the Company believes will fund operations through significant adoption and commercialization milestones through 2029.

“During the second quarter, we continued to build momentum across the key drivers of long-term adoption, including payer engagement, policy advancement, clinical evidence generation, and organizational strength,” said Zhenya Lindgardt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sera Prognostics. “The launch of our fourth partnership program, progress in payer engagement, the new Illinois Medicaid coverage law, the publication of compelling PRIME data in first-time mothers, and growing recognition from the maternal-fetal medicine community reinforce our belief that precision, biology-driven pregnancy care can improve outcomes for mothers and babies while creating meaningful value for healthcare systems. While we remain in the early stages of market development, we have been encouraged by the steady month-to-month increase in testing volume followin
