Passionately committed to bettering the lives of patients with kidney and cardiovascular diseases October 2020 Forward-Looking Statements To the extent that statements contained in this presentation are not descriptions of historical facts regarding Ardelyx, they are forward- looking statements reflecting the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the potential for Ardelyx’s product candidates in treating the diseases and conditions for which they are being developed, the potential for the use of tenapanor as monotherapy and as part of a dual mechanism approach with tenapanor and binders for the control of serum phosphorus in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients on dialysis, Ardelyx’s expected timing of the acceptance for substantive review by the FDA of the NDA for tenapanor for the control of serum phosphorus in CKD patients on dialysis, and Ardelyx’s expectation regarding the potential approval of such NDA and the expected timing thereof, the commercial potential for Ardelyx’s product candidates, Ardelyx’s expectations regarding the size of the patient populations for its product candidates, Ardelyx’s ability to establish collaborations in the future and Ardelyx’s expectations regarding the exhaustion of its current capital resources. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the development of Ardelyx’s product candidates or Ardelyx's future results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the uncertainties inherent in research and the clinical development process; the uncertainties associated with the regulatory approval process; and the uncertainties in the drug commercialization process. Ardelyx undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to Ardelyx’s business in general, please refer to Ardelyx’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2020, and its future current and periodic reports to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 2 Translating Scientific Breakthroughs into Promise for Patients We are dedicated to improving the lives of patients by developing and commercializing first-in-class targeted therapies that advance patient care. Our research expertise on biological mechanisms and pathways has enabled us to develop a pipeline of drug candidates designed to address important clinical unmet needs, including better management of complications related to kidney and cardiovascular diseases with the goal of improving outcomes for this large population of underserved patients.
