Key Financial Metrics

Note: Q3 2025 results include a $300.0 million milestone revenue recognition from the Roche collaboration and a $39.1 million loss related to the repurchase of 2027 Convertible Notes.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 149% year-over-year in Q3 2025. Net product revenues grew 103%, driven primarily by AMVUTTRA sales (up 165% to $685.3 million) following FDA approval for ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy in March 2025. Collaboration revenues surged 515% due to the $300 million Roche milestone.
• Profitability: The company reported a net income of $251.1 million in Q3 2025, compared to a net loss of $111.6 million in Q3 2024. This shift was driven by revenue growth and a tax benefit, partially offset by increased operating expenses and non-cash losses on debt.
• Debt Restructuring: In September 2025, Alnylam issued $661.3 million of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028. Proceeds were used to repurchase $637.8 million of the 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, resulting in a $39.1 million inducement expense.
• Expense Increases: R&D expenses increased 32% and SG&A expenses increased 46% year-over-year, attributed to expanded clinical trials (ZENITH, TRITON-CM), higher headcount, and increased stock-based compensation.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Outlook: Management targets sustainable operating profitability by the end of 2025. The company believes current cash, marketable securities, and borrowing capacity are sufficient for operations for at least the next 12 months.
• Pipeline Updates:
  • Zilebesiran: Initiated the ZENITH Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial in September 2025.
  • Nucresiran: Initiated TRITON-CM Phase 3 for ATTR-CM and TRITON-PN Phase 3 for hATTR-PN.
  • Cemdisiran: Collaborator Regeneron announced positive Phase 3 results in generalized myasthenia gravis; U.S. regulatory submission planned for Q1 2026.
• Risks and Contingencies:
  • Legal Proceedings: Received a subpoena in October 2025 from the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding government price reporting for AMVUTTRA, ONPATTRO, OXLUMO, and GIVLAARI. Pending patent litigation with the University of Texas System regarding ONPATTRO.
  • Regulatory: FDA enforcement actions regarding direct-to-consumer advertising (received an untitled letter regarding an AMVUTTRA ad).
  • Collaboration Dependence: Significant revenue reliance on milestones and royalties from Roche, Regeneron, Novartis, and Sanofi.

Investor Verification Checklist

• AMVUTTRA Commercialization: Verify the sustainability of the 165% revenue growth in AMVUTTRA and the impact of the new cardiomyopathy indication on market share versus competitors (VYNDAQEL, ATTRUBY).
• Debt Obligations: Confirm the remaining principal balance of the 2027 Notes ($397.2 million) and the terms of the new 2028 Notes, including conversion triggers and capped call transactions.
• Legal Exposure: Monitor the outcome of the U.S. Attorney's Office subpoena regarding price reporting and the University of Texas patent infringement lawsuit.
• Collaboration Milestones: Assess the probability of future milestone payments from Roche (ZENITH trial) and Regeneron (cemdisiran approval) to validate future revenue projections.
• Expense Trajectory: Evaluate if the 30-46% increase in operating expenses is sustainable relative to revenue growth as the company scales its global commercial infrastructure.
