Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to our strategy and plans; potential of and expectations for our business, clinical development strategy, and pipeline programs; our goals and expectations under our growth strategy (including our expectations regarding our commercial-stage products, clinical-stage global-right products, revenue growth, profitability and timeline to profitability, operating margins, and cash flow); the sales potential of our programs; capital allocation and investment strategy; clinical development programs and related clinical trials; expected timing and results of clinical trial data, data readouts, and presentations; risks and uncertainties associated with drug development, commercialization and outreach; regulatory discussions, submissions, filings, and approvals and the timing and scope thereof; the potential benefits, safety, and efficacy of our products and product candidates and those of our collaboration partners; the expected benefits and potential of investments, collaborations, and business development activities; the potential market opportunities of, and estimated addressable markets for, our drug candidates; our future financial and operating results; and financial guidance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this presentation are forward-looking statements, and can be identified by words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and other similar expressions. Such statements constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees or assurances of future performance because there are inherent difficulties in predicting future results. Actual results may differ materially and certain targets may not be achieved from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our expectations and assumptions as of the date of this presentation and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including but not limited to (1) our ability to successfully commercialize and generate revenue from our approved products, (2) our ability to obtain funding for our operations and business initiatives, (3) the results of clinical and pre-clinical development of our product candidates, (4) the content and timing of decisions made by the relevant regulatory authorities regarding regulatory approvals of our product candidates, (5) risks related to doing business in China, and (6) other factors discussed in our most recent annual and quarterly reports and other reports we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our expectations and assumptions to change, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Drug development and commercialization involve a high degree of risk, and only a small number of research and development programs result in commercialization of a product. You should not place undue reliance in these statements or the scientific data presented. 2

Dual-Targeting of IL-13 and IL-31R May Provide Broad Disease Control ZL-1503: First-in-class Dual IL-13 / IL-31R bispecific ✓ Validated biology ✓ Compelling preclinical profile in non-human primates1 • Rapid itch suppression and sustained for up to 133 days • Durable itching control for up to 132 days • Favorable safety profile in cynomolgus monkeys ✓ Engineered for durability: Fc optimization supports infrequent dosing ✓ Potential across multiple Th2-driven indications2 Abbreviation: Atopic dermatitis (AD). Notes: (1) 2025 EAACI presentation, “ZL-1503: A Bispecific Antibody Targeting Inflammatory and Pruritogenic Pathways with a Prolonged Serum Half-life and Sustained Activity in Non-human Primates”. A single treatment of ZL-1503 (10 mg/kg) completely suppressed CyIL-31-induced scratching, with an anti-pruritic efficacy sustained for up to 133 days (Day 78 to Day 133). Consistent with this durable anti-pruritic activity, ZL-1503 also completely suppressed IL- 13-induced pSTAT6 in CD14 monocytes, an effect that persisted for 76 to 132 days across all subjects; (2) Potential for indication expansion beyond AD, including prurigo nodularis (approved for DUPIXENT and NEMLUVIO), asthma (approved for DUPIXENT), etc. ZL-1503 First-in-human data in healthy volunteers expected in 2H’26 Current Status Upcoming Milestone Global Phase 1/1b study ongoing A First-in-Class Approach: Dual Inhibition of IL-13 and IL-31 to Target Inflammation and Itch Binds to IL-13 and prevents heterodimerization of IL-13Rα1/IL-4Rα Inhibits IL-31 signaling by binding to IL-31Rα Activation of JAK-STAT, PI3K/AKT, and MAPK pathways Production of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines 12
