Exhibit 99.1 BioAge Labs Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Updates First participant dosed in Phase 1 trial of BGE-102, oral CNS-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor, with initial SAD data expected by year-end Continued advancement of oral and parenteral APJ agonist programs targeting 2026 IND submissions EMERYVILLE, Calif.--BioAge Labs, Inc. ("BioAge", "the Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today provided business updates and reported its third quarter 2025 financial results. “The third quarter of 2025 marked an important milestone as we advanced BGE-102 into clinical development with the dosing of our first participant in the Phase 1 trial,” said Kristen Fortney, PhD, CEO and co-founder of BioAge. “We're on track to deliver initial single ascending dose data by year-end, providing critical insights into the safety, pharmacokinetics, and target engagement of this potential best-in-class oral, CNS penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor. We also continued to advance our oral and parenteral APJ agonist programs toward 2026 IND submissions, while our partnerships with Novartis and Lilly continue to progress as expected. The Company remains focused on strategic execution to deliver transformative therapies targeting the biology of metabolic aging.” Third Quarter 2025 Business Highlights NLRP3 inhibitor program clinical development ● In August 2025, BioAge announced that the first participant was dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating BGE-102, a structurally novel, orally available small molecule NLRP3 inhibitor with high potency and brain penetration being developed initially for obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. The Phase 1 study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BGE-102 in healthy participants. Initial single ascending dose (SAD) data are anticipated by the end of 2025. Following successful completion of the Phase 1 SAD/MAD, the Company plans to initiate a proof-of-concept clinical trial for BGE-102, with top-line data for this study anticipated in the second half of 2026.

APJ agonist program advancement ● The Company continued to advance its oral and parenteral APJ agonist development strategy. Under the exclusive option agreement with JiKang Therapeutics announced in June 2025, BioAge and JiKang are jointly advancing a novel APJ agonist nanobody demonstrating at least 10-fold greater potency than apelin toward IND-enabling studies. In parallel, BioAge is progressing its proprietary portfolio of orally active APJ agonists for which it filed a U.S. provisional patent application in May 2025. Both programs are targeting IND submissions in 2026. Strategic partnerships ● BioAge's multi-year research collaboration with Novartis, focused on discovering novel therapeutic targets at the intersection of aging biology and exercise physiology, continued to advance. ● The Company progressed its strategic collaboration with Lilly ExploR&D for the development of therapeutic antibodies targeting novel metabolic aging targets identified through BioAge's discovery platform. Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results Collaboration revenue was $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to no revenue for the same period in 2024. The $2.1 million increase in collaboration revenue was the result of revenue recognized under our multi-year research collaboration with Novartis, as work commenced in 2025. Research and development expenses were $18.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $20.0 million for the same period in 2024. The $1.5 million decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to a $13.1 million reduction in azelaprag direct costs as development was terminated in January 2025. The decrease in azelaprag research and development expenses was partially offset by a $6.5 million increase in direct costs for other programs, which was primarily related to discovery and development activities related to our novel apelin receptor APJ agonist programs, a $4.4 million increase in direct costs related to our BGE-102 program associated with our Phase 1 SAD/MAD clinical trial and drug-product manufacturing, and a $0.8 million increase in allocated facility and other expenses primarily driven by an increase in non-program specific consulting fees. General and administrative expenses were $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2024. The $2.0 million increase was primarily attributable to $0.8 million increase in legal fees, a $0.5 million increase personnel-related expenses, largely due to an increase in stock- based compensation expense associated with new option grants, a $0.3 million increase in taxes and insurance, primarily related to our public-company director and officer insurance policy.

Net loss was $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, or $0.56 per weighted-average common share outstanding, basic and diluted, compared to a net loss of $23.4 million, or $6.70 per weighted-average common share outstanding, basic and diluted, for the same period in 2024. As of September 30, 2025, BioAge had approximately $295.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Based on our current operating plan, BioAge estimates that existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operations and capital expenses through 2029.
