Slide 5

Near Term Milestones Remestemcel-L BLA resubmission for remestemcel-L in children with SR-aGVHD expected to be filed this quarter, with potential US approval Q1 CY2023 Mesoblast and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which coordinates a clinical trial network at over 40 sites across the US focused on ARDS, to jointly develop a trial protocol to confirm the previously observed reduction in mortality in COVID-19 ARDS patients under age 65. Rexlemestrocel-L Plan to meet with FDA next quarter under existing regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designation to discuss common mechanism of action in HFrEF including those with LVADs, and potential pathway to marketing approval FDA clearance by year end 2022 to commence a pivotal study for potential marketing approval of rexlemestrocel-L in chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease

Slide 7

Financial Highlights Total Revenue from royalties and milestones increased 37% to US$10.2 million for FY2022 compared to US$7.5 million for FY2021 Royalties from sales of TEMCELL® HS Inj.1 sold in Japan by our licensee in FY2022, were US$8.7 million and US$9.8 million on a constant currency2 basis, an increase of 21% and 36% respectively versus FY2021, predominantly due to increased volume of product sold At June 30, 2022, cash-on-hand was US$60.4 million with pro-forma US$105.5 million after raising gross proceeds of US$45 million via a private placement in August 2022 Up to an additional US$40 million available from existing facilities subject to certain milestones For the year ended June 30, 2022, net cash usage reported for operating activities was US$65.8 million, a reduction of 35% relative to the comparative period last year, with continued focus on cost control

Slide 8

Quarterly Net Operating Cash Burn has been significantly reduced Quarterly net operating cash burn has been reduced over the last 6 quarters. FY22 US$65.8m FY21 US$100.7m 35% reduction of US$35 million US$m

Slide 9

Reduction in R&D Spend; Steady Investment in Manufacturing Decreased R&D Spend: 38% reduction ($20.2m) predominantly due to reduced spend on clinical trial activities. Steady Investment in Manufacturing: Continued build of pre-launch inventory of remestemcel-L to support the launch of SR-aGVHD. On FDA approval, remestemcel-L inventory will be recognized on the balance sheet, currently at US$28.9 million. Finance Costs included actual cash interest paid of US$6.1 million for FY2022, compared to US$5.9 million for FY2021. The increase in reported Finance Costs was primarily due to the recognition of a non-cash gain on revaluation of our borrowings in the comparative year due to a reduction in expected value of future repayments. Figures have been rounded.

Slide 14

Remestemcel-L: Plan for BLA Resubmission for Steroid-Refractory Graft Versus Host Disease In response to FDA guidance, Mesoblast has optimized a potency assay that was in place at the time of the 54-patient Phase 3 trial in children with SR-aGVHD Mesoblast believes that the proposed potency assay measuring remestemcel-L’s in vitro anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity helps establish a clear understanding of remestemcel-L’s mechanism of action in SR-aGVHD The potency assay from the Phase 3 trial demonstrates a relationship between the product’s activity in vitro and its effects on survival in the Phase 3 trial, with the strongest correlation to survival in those patients at highest mortality risk as measured by clinical severity or high biomarker levels of inflammation Additionally, Mesoblast has now generated data from the expanded access program (EAP 275) of 241 children which confirm the ability of the in-vitro potency assay to measure product activity relevant to survival outcomes In preparation for the expected FDA review, during the last quarter Mesoblast completed a mock pre-approval inspection of its GMP manufacturing facility and process comprising both on-site and virtual inspections by external auditors Mesoblast will provide these new data to FDA and address all chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) outstanding items as required for the planned BLA resubmission in the current quarter. If the resubmission is accepted, CBER will consider the adequacy of the clinical data in the context of the related CMC issues

Remestemcel-L: Regulatory Pathway to Potential EUA for COVID-19 ARDS Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a major cause of mortality for COVID-19 patients who are immunocompromised, unvaccinated, or with comorbidities, as well as those with seasonal influenza and other pathogens FDA has advised Mesoblast that an additional clinical study in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID19, if statistically positive, could provide sufficient evidence to support an emergency use authorization (EUA) Mesoblast has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which coordinates and works closely with clinical investigators at over 40 sites across the United States focused on studying ARDS and other critical illnesses The MOU proposes a collaboration toward the design and execution of a second COVID-19 trial for remestemcel-L; to jointly develop a trial protocol; and seek FDA approval for the trial

Rexlemestrocel-L – Preparing for Next Phase 3 Trial in Chronic Low Back Pain FDA Office of Tissues and Advanced Therapies (OTAT) agreed with Mesoblast’s proposal for mean pain reduction at 12 months to serve as the primary endpoint of the next trial, with mean functional improvement and reduction in opioid use as secondary endpoints A key objective is to demonstrate durable reduction in pain and position rexlemestrocel-L as a potential opioid-sparing agent The planned upcoming US trial will include at least 20% of subjects from the EU to support submissions to both FDA and EMA Active discussions ongoing with key investigators and advisors on final protocol design

Slide 22

Rexlemestrocel-L – Chronic Heart Failure Rising Incidence & High Mortality Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States1 Heart failure affects 6.5 million patients in the US and 26 million patients globally. As populations age, the prevalence is increasing2 Chronic heart failure is a progressive disease with a high mortality that approaches 50% at 5 years2,3 and at least 75% after an initial hospitalization4 Patients with heart failure are also at high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiac events involving large vessels (heart attacks / strokes) 1.
