Basis of preparation
Compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
“Interim Financial Reporting”. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements are presented in U.S. dollar (“USD” or “$”), which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.
The financial information presented in this interim report does not represent full statutory accounts as defined by the Companies Act 2014. The statutory
accounts of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, are expected to be filed with the Companies Registration Office by November 26, 2026.
New and amended IFRS standards
There are no new IFRS Accounting standards, amendments to standards or interpretations that are mandatory for the financial year beginning on January 1, 2026,
that are relevant to the Group and that have had any material impact in the interim period. The review of the impact of new standards on the Group’s financial statements, which are not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by
the Group is ongoing. This includes IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, introducing new requirements that will help to achieve comparability of the
financial performance of similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency to users. Management is currently assessing the detailed implications of applying the new standard on the Group’s financial statements.
Going concern basis
GH Research is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapeutics. The Group is exposed to all risks inherent in establishing and
developing its business, including the substantial uncertainty that current projects will succeed. Research and development expenses have been incurred from the start of the Group’s activities, generating negative cash flows from operating
activities since formation.
Since its incorporation, the Group has funded its growth through capital increases. The Group has no bank loans or other debt outstanding, except lease liabilities, as of March 31, 2026. As a result, the Group is not exposed to liquidity risk through requests for early
repayment of loans.
As of March 31, 2026, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $242.7 million (December 31, 2025: $246.3
million). The Group also held marketable securities of $24.7 million as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025: marketable securities of $34.5 million). The marketable securities held by the Group are quoted in active markets and are an additional source of liquidity.
The Board of Directors believes that the Group has sufficient financial resources available to cover its planned cash outflows for at least the next twelve months from
the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The Group, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

| Use of estimates and judgments |
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting
policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are consistent with those that applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

| Current and deferred income tax |
Current and deferred income tax
The interim income tax expense is calculated based on the Company’s estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year. The
current and deferred income tax charge was $ for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, which is in line with the
Company’s estimate for the full year. No deferred tax assets have been recognized as there is no certainty that sufficient taxable
profits will be generated within the required timeframe to be able to utilize these tax loss carry-forwards in full.

| Segment reporting |
Segment reporting
Management considers the Group to have only a
segment: Research and Development (“R&D”). This is consistent with the way that information is reported internally within the Group for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance.
