July 22, 2025 07:30 ET | Source: Beyond Air™ GARDEN CITY, N.Y., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Air, Inc. (NASDAQ: XAIR) (“Beyond Air” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company focused on harnessing the power of nitric oxide (NO) to improve the lives of patients, has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement for therapeutic gases with Premier, Inc. Effective July 15th, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for the LungFit PH system and disposable NO2 Smart Filters. “We are proud to have been awarded this agreement with Premier, expanding access to our LungFit PH system across their extensive network of U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers. The agreement helps streamline the sales process for the Premier hospital network as they contemplate converting their NO supply to the LungFit PH system,” said Steve Lisi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Beyond Air. “Our innovative cylinder-free NO delivery system represents a transformative advancement compared to the legacy cylinder-based NO systems.” The LungFit PH platform uses patented Ionizer™ technology to generate unlimited, on-demand nitric oxide from ambient air, which is then able to be delivered directly to a ventilator circuit, regardless of dose or flow. Using only the power equivalent to a 60-watt lightbulb, the system ionizes nitrogen and oxygen molecules to form nitric oxide, while producing only minimal levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) as a byproduct. A built-in Smart Filter then effectively removes NO₂ from the internal circuit, ensuring safe delivery to the patient For the treatment of PPHN, the novel LungFit PH system is designed to deliver NO doses consistent with the current standard of care for delivery of 20 ppm NO, with a range of 0.5 ppm – 80 ppm (low concentration NO), for ventilated patients. Each Smart Filter provides 12 hours of therapy regardless of ventilator demands and can be replaced in seconds for uninterrupted treatment. Premier is a leading technology-driven healthcare improvement company, providing solutions to two-thirds of all healthcare providers in the U.S. Playing a critical role in the rapidly evolving healthcare industry, Premier unites providers, suppliers, payers and policymakers to make healthcare better with national scale, smarter with actionable intelligence and faster with novel technologies. With integrated data and analytics, collaboratives, supply chain solutions, consulting and other services, Premier enables better care and outcomes at a lower cost. This Premier contract was negotiated with the support of Beyond Air strategic partner, HealthCare Links, a corporate account consulting group specializing in national GPO access and alignment. About LungFit * Beyond Air's LungFit is a cylinder-free, phasic flow generator and delivery system designated as a medical device by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ventilator-compatible version of the device can generate NO from ambient air on demand for delivery to the lungs at concentrations ranging from 1 ppm to 80 ppm. The LungFit system could potentially replace large, high-pressure NO cylinders, providing significant advantages in the hospital setting, including greatly reducing inventory and storage requirements, improving overall safety by eliminating NO2 purging steps, and offering other operational benefits. LungFit can also deliver NO at concentrations at or above 80 ppm for potentially treating severe acute lung infections in the hospital setting (e.g., COVID-19, bronchiolitis) and chronic, refractory lung infections in the home setting (e.g., NTM). With the elimination of cylinders, Beyond Air intends to offer NO treatment in the home setting. *Beyond Air's LungFit PH is approved for commercial use in the United States, European Union, Australia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan and New Zealand. Beyond Air's other LungFit systems are not approved for commercial use and are for investigational use only. Beyond Air is not suggesting NO use over 80 ppm or use at home. About Beyond Air®, Inc.

The Company has received FDA approval and CE Mark for its first system, LungFit® PH, for the treatment of term and near-term neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure. Beyond Air is currently advancing its other revolutionary LungFit systems in clinical trials for the treatment of severe lung infections such as viral community-acquired pneumonia (including COVID-19) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The Company has also partnered with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem to advance a pre-clinical program dedicated to the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurological disorders. Additionally, Beyond Cancer, Ltd., an affiliate of Beyond Air, is investigating ultra-high concentrations of NO with a proprietary delivery system to target certain solid tumors in the pre-clinical setting.

Forward Looking StatementsThis press release contains “forward-looking statements” concerning the potential safety and efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide and the ultra-high concentration nitric oxide product candidate, as well as its therapeutic potential in a number of indications; and the potential impact on patients and anticipated benefits associated with inhaled nitric oxide and the ultra-high concentration nitric oxide product candidate. Forward-looking statements include statements about expectations, beliefs, or intentions regarding product offerings, business, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify such forward-looking statements by the words “appears,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes” “expects,” “intends,” “looks,” “projects,” “goal,” “assumes,” “targets” and similar expressions and/or the use of future tense or conditional constructions (such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should” and the like) and by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters.
