|||||||||
-
Total net product revenues increased 32% at both actual currency and CER during the three months ended
March 31, 2024 , as compared to the same period in 2023, due to strong growth from AMVUTTRA driven by increased patient demand, as well as increased patients on our GIVLAARI and OXLUMO therapies.
Net Revenues from Collaborations
-
Net revenues from collaborations increased 225% during the three months ended
March 31, 2024 , as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to revenue recognized under our collaboration and license agreement with Roche, including$65 million of milestone revenue associated with dosing the first patient in the zilebesiran KARDIA-3 clinical trial, and an increase in revenue recognized under our collaboration agreement with Regeneron as a result of an increase in activities under our research services arrangement and licensed programs.

Cost of Goods Sold
-
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net product revenues was consistent during the three months ended
March 31, 2024 , as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased royalties related to higher AMVUTTRA sales volume, partially offset by one-time favorability attributed to reduced ONPATTRO manufacturing cancellation fees.
Research & Development (R&D) Expenses
-
GAAP and non-GAAP R&D expenses increased during the three months ended
March 31, 2024 , as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased development expenses associated with zilebesiran in the KARDIA-2 and KARDIA-3 clinical studies, increased expenses associated with our HELIOS-B study leading up to the topline data readout in late June or earlyJuly 2024 , increased costs associated with our preclinical activities, specifically our CNS programs, and increased headcount and infrastructure expenses to support our R&D pipeline.
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
-
GAAP and non-GAAP SG&A expenses increased during the three months ended
March 31, 2024 , as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased marketing investment associated with promotion of our TTR therapies and increased headcount and other investments supporting our strategic growth.
Other Financial Highlights
-
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
$2.37 billion as ofMarch 31, 2024 compared to$2.44 billion as ofDecember 31, 2023 with the decrease primarily due our operating loss in the first quarter 2024.
A reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results for the quarter is included in the tables at the end of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including expenses adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring gains outside the ordinary course of the Company’s business. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The items included in GAAP presentations but excluded for purposes of determining non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented in this press release are stock-based compensation expenses and realized and unrealized losses on marketable equity securities. The Company has excluded the impact of stock-based compensation expense, which may fluctuate from period to period based on factors including the variability associated with performance-based grants for stock options and restricted stock units and changes in the Company’s stock price, which impacts the fair value of these awards. The Company has excluded the impact of the realized and unrealized losses on marketable equity securities because the Company does not believe these adjustments accurately reflect the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations for the period in which such gains or losses are reported, as their sole purpose is to adjust amounts on the balance sheet.
Percentage changes in revenue growth at CER are presented excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for investors to understand the underlying business performance. The current period’s foreign currency revenue values are converted into
The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. When GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and are better able to compare the Company’s performance between periods. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among those indicators the Company uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided later in this press release.

About OXLUMO® (lumasiran)
OXLUMO (lumasiran) is an RNAi therapeutic targeting hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1). HAO1 encodes glycolate oxidase (GO). Thus, by silencing HAO1 and depleting the GO enzyme, OXLUMO inhibits production of oxalate – the metabolite that directly contributes to the pathophysiology of PH1. OXLUMO utilizes Alnylam’s Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry (ESC)-GalNAc-conjugate technology, which enables subcutaneous dosing with increased potency and durability and a wide therapeutic index. OXLUMO has received regulatory approvals from the
About LNP Technology
About RNAi
RNAi (RNA interference) is a natural cellular process of gene silencing that represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug development today. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and was recognized with the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, a new class of medicines known as RNAi therapeutics is now a reality. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutic platform, function upstream of today’s medicines by potently silencing messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic precursors – that encode for disease-causing or disease pathway proteins, thus preventing them from being made. This is a revolutionary approach with the potential to transform the care of patients with genetic and other diseases.
