(NASDAQ: JNCE), a clinical-stage company focused on the discovery and development of novel cancer immunotherapies and predictive biomarkers, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 and provided a corporate update. “2020 proved to be a year of important pipeline execution and corporate development at Jounce despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter 2021, we are strongly positioned to execute on our two proof of concept studies, INNATE and SELECT, and continue to advance our sustainable discovery pipeline. Our potential first-in-class programs and biomarker approaches are aimed at bringing meaningful clinical benefit to the growing population of PD-(L)1 inhibitor naïve and experienced patients,” said Richard Murray, Ph.D., chief executive officer and president of Jounce Therapeutics. “The need for novel approaches targeting different immune cells in the tumor microenvironment highlights the importance of our translational science platform and our productive discovery engine. This approach has allowed us to generate multiple targets beyond T-cells, most notably our highest priority program, JTX-8064, targeting LILRB2, also known as ILT4. As we enter 2021, Jounce is poised to further our goal of bringing the right immunotherapies to the right patients.” Pipeline Update and Highlights: JTX-8064 (LILRB2 / ILT4) Initiated Phase 1 INNATE trial of JTX-8064: In January 2021, Jounce enrolled the first dose cohort in INNATE, a Phase 1 clinical trial of JTX-8064 alone and in combination with its PD-1 inhibitor, JTX-4014, or pembrolizumab. The trial is designed to progress quickly through dose escalation and demonstrate proof of concept in tumor specific expansion cohorts. Presented JTX-8064 preclinical data at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 35th Annual Meeting: In November 2020 at SITC, Jounce presented preclinical data for JTX-8064 that informed the indication selection and biomarker strategies for JTX-8064 to maximize potential therapeutic benefit for patients with solid tumor malignancies. Vopratelimab (ICOS) and JTX-4014 (PD-1) Initiated enrollment in the Phase 2 SELECT trial of vopratelimab: In October 2020, Jounce initiated enrollment in the randomized Phase 2 SELECT trial to evaluate vopratelimab in combination with JTX-4014 versus JTX-4014 alone in immunotherapy naïve TISvopra biomarker-selected, second line non-small cell lung cancer patients. COVID-19 related delays are currently impacting patient enrollment, and Jounce now anticipates reporting data from the SELECT trial in 2022. Continued to advance JTX-4014 as a combination agent: JTX-4014 is a PD-1 inhibitor intended for combination with Jounce’s broad pipeline beginning with its two ongoing proof of concept studies, the INNATE trial and the SELECT trial. The SELECT trial will also provide additional important single agent data for JTX-4014 in a new biomarker selection paradigm.. JTX-1811 (CCR8) Established exclusive license agreement with Gilead for the development and commercialization of JTX-1811: In October 2020, Jounce licensed to Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”) the worldwide rights to JTX-1811, a potential first-in-class antibody designed to bind to CCR8 and selectively deplete immunosuppressive tumor-infiltrating T regulatory cells. Upon clearance of an investigational new drug application (“IND”), JTX-1811 will transition to Gilead for clinical development and potential commercialization. In addition to an $85.0 million upfront and a $35.0 million equity investment, Jounce has the potential to earn up to $685.0 million in milestones as well as royalties on worldwide sales. Jounce continues to progress JTX-1811 to IND clearance and remains on track for an IND filing in the first half of 2021. Discovery Pipeline Productive discovery engine with IND every 12 to 18 months: Jounce continues to invest in and advance its growing immuno-oncology pipeline. Its discovery engine is built upon the capability to thoroughly investigate different cell types in the tumor microenvironment, including T cells, myeloid cells and stromal cells. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results: Cash position: As of December 31, 2020, cash, cash equivalents and investments were $213.2 million, compared to $170.4 million as of December 31, 2019. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments was primarily due to receipt of $120.0 million in proceeds from the license and stock purchase agreements with Gilead and $14.5 million received during 2020 under Jounce’s at-the-market offering program (“ATM”), offset by operating expenses incurred during the year. In January 2021, the Company completed the sale of all available amounts under the existing ATM with the sale of 3,156,200 shares for net proceeds of $30.2 million.License and collaboration revenue: $62.3 million of license and collaboration revenue was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2020. Jounce did not recognize any license and collaboration revenue for the same period in 2019. License and collaboration revenue was $62.3 million for the full year 2020, compared to $147.9 million for the full year 2019. Revenue recognized during 2020 was related to Jounce’s license agreement with Gilead. Revenue recognized during 2019 was comprised of $50.0 million of cash revenue related to Jounce’s JTX-8064 license agreement with Celgene and $97.9 million of non-cash revenue recognition related to the $225.0 million upfront payment received in July 2016 under the Celgene collaboration agreement.Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses were $20.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $16.6 million for the same period in 2019. Research and development expenses were $78.7 million for the full year 2020, compared to $67.1 million for the full year 2019. The increase in research and development expenses for the full year 2020 was primarily due to $7.9 million of increased clinical and regulatory expense primarily attributable to the SELECT clinical trial, $3.2 million of increased manufacturing and IND-enabling expenses and $2.9 million of increased employee compensation costs. These increases were partially offset by $0.9 million and $0.8 million of decreased other research costs, primarily related to reduced travel, and lab consumable costs, respectively.General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses were $6.9 million for both the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2019. General and administrative expenses were $28.8 million for the full year 2020, compared to $27.9 million for the full year 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses for full year 2020 was primarily attributable to $1.5 million of increased employee compensation costs.Net income (loss): Net income was $35.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in basic net income per share of $0.90 and diluted net income per share of $0.86. Net loss was $22.7 million for the same period in 2019, resulting in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.68. Net loss was $43.8 million for the full year 2020, resulting in basic and diluted net loss per share of $1.24. Net income was $56.8 million for the full year 2019, resulting in basic net income per share of $1.72 and diluted net income per share of $1.66. Net loss for the full year 2020 was attributable to increased operating expenses, offset by $62.3 million of license revenue recognized under Jounce’s agreement with Gilead. Net income for the full year 2019 was primarily attributable to $147.9 million of revenue recognized under the Celgene license and collaboration agreements in the year. Financial Guidance: Based on its current operating and development plans, Jounce reiterates its financial guidance for 2021. Gross cash burn on operating expenses and capital expenditures for the full year 2021 is expected to be approximately $95.0 million to $110.0 million. Given the strength of its balance sheet, Jounce expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments to be sufficient to enable the funding of its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the second quarter of 2023.

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS Depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing charges for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $231.7 million compared to $218.4 million for the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 were $375.9 million compared to $301.1 million at December 31, 2019. Net accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 were $395.1 million compared to $418.7 million at December 31, 2019. Net inventories at December 31, 2020 were $513.2 million compared to $476.6 million at December 31, 2019. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $437.1 million during 2020, as compared to $437.1 million during 2019. In 2020, the cash flow from operations reflect an increase in contingent consideration payments and tax payments that were mainly offset by favorable changes in other working capital. The favorable changes in other working capital were driven mainly by higher accounts receivable collections. 2021 OUTLOOK On a GAAP basis, full year 2021 revenues are expected to increase between 10.0% and 11.5% over 2020, reflecting our estimate of an approximately 2% favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, the Company estimates that revenues for full year 2021 will increase between 8.0% and 9.5% over 2020. The Company expects full year 2021 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be between $8.15 and $8.25. The Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be between $12.50 and $12.70 for full year 2021, representing an increase of between 17.2% and 19.0% over 2020.

ADDITIONAL NOTES References in this release to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on adjusted diluted earnings per share include both the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated transactions. In the discussion of segment results, "new products" refers to products for which we initiated commercial sales within the past 36 months and "existing products" refers to products we have sold commercially for more than 36 months. Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences. Segment results and commentary exclude the impact of discontinued operations. NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, commonly referred to as “GAAP.” In this press release, we provide supplemental information, consisting of the following non-GAAP financial measures: constant currency revenue growth and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are described in more detail below. Management uses these financial measures to assess Teleflex’s financial performance, make operating decisions, allocate financial resources, provide guidance on possible future results, and assist in its evaluation of period-to-period and peer comparisons. The non-GAAP measures may be useful to investors because they provide insight into management’s assessment of our business, and provide supplemental information pertinent to a comparison of period-to-period results of our ongoing operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Moreover, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Tables reconciling changes in historical constant currency net revenues to historical GAAP net revenues are set forth above under “Net Revenue by Segment" and "Net Revenue by Global Product Category". Tables reconciling historical adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to historical GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are set forth below. Constant currency revenue growth: This non-GAAP measure is based upon net revenues, adjusted to eliminate the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. The impact of changes in foreign currency may vary significantly from period to period, and such changes generally are outside of the control of our management. We believe that this measure facilitates a comparison of our operating performance exclusive of currency exchange rate fluctuations that do not reflect our underlying performance or business trends. Adjusted diluted earnings per share: This non-GAAP measure is based upon diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, adjusted to exclude, depending on the period presented, the items described below. Management does not believe that any of the excluded items are indicative of our underlying core performance or business trends. Restructuring, restructuring related and impairment items - Restructuring programs involve discrete initiatives designed to, among other things, consolidate or relocate manufacturing, administrative and other facilities, outsource distribution operations, improve operating efficiencies and integrate acquired businesses. Depending on the specific restructuring program involved, our restructuring charges may include employee termination, contract termination, facility closure, employee relocation, equipment relocation, outplacement and other exit costs associated with the restructuring program. Restructuring related charges are directly related to our restructuring programs and consist of facility consolidation costs, including accelerated depreciation expense related to facility closures, costs to transfer manufacturing operations between locations, and retention bonuses offered to certain employees as an incentive for them to remain with our company after completion of the restructuring program. Impairment charges occur if, due to events or changes in circumstances, we determine that the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment charges do not directly affect our liquidity, but could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results. Acquisition, integration and divestiture related items - Acquisition and integration expenses are incremental charges, other than restructuring or restructuring related expenses, that are directly related to specific business or asset acquisition transactions. These charges may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees; systems integration costs; legal entity restructuring expense; inventory step-up amortization (amortization, through cost of goods sold, of the increase in fair value of inventory resulting from a fair value calculation as of the acquisition date); fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities; and bridge loan facility and backstop financing fees in connection with loan facilities that ultimately were not utilized. Divestiture related activities involve specific business or asset sales. Depending primarily on the terms of a divestiture transaction, the carrying value of the divested business or assets on our financial statements and other costs we incur as a direct result of the divestiture transaction, we may recognize a gain or loss in connection with the divestiture related activities. Other items - These are discrete items that occur sporadically and can affect period-to-period comparisons. See footnote C to the reconciliation tables set forth below. European medical device regulation - The European Union (“EU”) has adopted the EU Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”), which replaces the existing Medical Devices Directive (“MDD”) and imposes more stringent requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices in the EU, including requirements affecting clinical evaluations, quality systems and post-market surveillance. Manufacturers of currently marketed medical devices will have until May 2021 to meet the MDR requirements, although certain devices that previously satisfied MDD requirements can continue to be marketed in the EU until May 2024, subject to certain limitations. Significantly, the MDR will require the re-registration of previously approved medical devices. As a result, Teleflex will incur expenditures in connection with the new registration of medical devices that previously had been registered under the MDD. Therefore, these expenditures are not considered to be ordinary course expenditures in connection with regulatory matters (in contrast, no adjustment has been made to exclude expenditures related to the registration of medical devices that were not registered previously under the MDD). Intangible amortization expense - Certain intangible assets, including customer relationships, intellectual property, distribution rights, trade names and non-competition agreements, initially are recorded at historical cost and then amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The amount of such amortization can vary from period to period as a result of, among other things, business or asset acquisitions or dispositions. Tax adjustments - These adjustments represent the impact of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for prior year returns, the resolution of audits, the filing of amended returns with respect to prior tax years and/or tax law or certain other discrete changes affecting our deferred tax liability.
