1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Evoke Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in January 2007. The Company is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused primarily on the development and commercialization of drugs to treat gastroenterological disorders and disease.

Since its inception, the Company has devoted its efforts to developing its sole product, Gimoti® (metoclopramide) nasal spray, the first and only nasally-administered product indicated for the relief of symptoms in adults with acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis. The Company launched U.S. commercial sales of Gimoti in October 2020 through its commercial partner Eversana Life Science Services, LLC (“Eversana”).

The Company’s activities are subject to the significant risks and uncertainties associated with any specialty pharmaceutical company that has launched its first commercial product, including market acceptance of the product and the potential need to obtain additional funding for its operations.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant revenues from the sale of Gimoti. As of June 30, 2025 the Company had approximately $12.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur losses from operations due to commercialization activities, including manufacturing Gimoti, conducting the post-marketing commitment single-dose pharmacokinetics (“PK”) clinical trial of Gimoti to characterize dose proportionality of a lower dose strength of Gimoti, and for other general and administrative costs to support the Company’s operations. Both the Company and Eversana may terminate the commercial services and loan agreement (as described in Note 5. Commercial Services and Loan Agreements with Eversana), pursuant to the Net Profit Quarterly Termination Right (NPQTR) (as defined in Note 5); however, the Company has no intent to terminate the Eversana Agreement. There can be no assurance that Eversana will not exercise its right pursuant to the NPQTR. Should Eversana exercise its right under the NPQTR, the Loan Agreement, as described in Note 5, would also be terminated and the Company would be responsible for repaying the principal and accrued interest on the loan, which was $7.4 million as of June 30, 2025, within 90 days of the effective date of the termination. In addition, the Company would need to establish a commercial infrastructure in order to continue distributing Gimoti. The timing and costs associated with this are not clear, but the Company believes they would be substantial. As a result, management believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. The Company anticipates that it will be required to raise additional funds through debt, equity or other forms of financing, such as potential collaboration arrangements, to fund future operations and continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding, the Company may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, and/or suspend or curtail commercialization activities. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. Because the Company’s business is entirely dependent on the success of Gimoti, if the Company is unable to secure additional financing, successfully commercialize Gimoti or identify and execute on strategic alternatives for Gimoti or the Company, the Company will be required to curtail all of its activities and may be required to liquidate, dissolve or otherwise wind down its operations.

Reverse Stock Split

On May 22, 2024, the Company's stockholders granted the board of directors the authority to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding common stock. On July 31, 2024, the Company filed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Amendment, at the effective time of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2024, each twelve (12) shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding was combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The par value and the authorized shares of the Company's common stock were not adjusted as

a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All issued and outstanding common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, per-share data and related information have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.
