1. The Company
PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “PTC”) is a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated medicines for children and adults living with rare disorders. PTC is advancing a robust and diversified pipeline of transformative medicines as part of its mission to provide access to best-in-class treatments for patients with unmet medical needs. PTC’s strategy is to leverage its scientific expertise and global commercial infrastructure to optimize value for its patients and other stakeholders. PTC has a diversified therapeutic portfolio pipeline that includes several commercial products and product candidates in various stages of development, including clinical, pre-clinical and research and discovery stages, focused on the development of new treatments for multiple therapeutic areas for rare diseases relating to neurology and metabolism.
The Company has two products, Translarna™ (ataluren) and Emflaza® (deflazacort), for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”), a rare, life-threatening disorder. Translarna has marketing authorization in Russia for the treatment of nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“nmDMD”) in patients aged two years and older, and in Brazil for the treatment of nmDMD in ambulatory patients two years and older and for continued treatment of patients that become non-ambulatory, as well as in various other countries. Emflaza is approved in the United States for the treatment of DMD in patients two years and older.
The Company previously had a marketing authorization for Translarna in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), which had been subject to annual review and renewal by the European Commission (“EC”) following reassessment by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) of the benefit-risk balance of the authorization. In September 2022, the Company submitted a Type II variation to the EMA to support conversion of the conditional marketing authorization for Translarna to a standard marketing authorization, which included a report on the placebo-controlled trial of Study 041 and data from the open-label extension. In February 2023, the Company also submitted an annual marketing authorization renewal request to the EMA. In September 2023, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”), gave a negative opinion on the conversion of the conditional marketing authorization to full marketing authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD and a negative opinion on the renewal of the existing conditional marketing authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. In January 2024, the CHMP issued a negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization following a re-examination procedure. In May 2024, the EC decided not to adopt the CHMP’s negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization of Translarna and returned such opinion to the CHMP for re-evaluation. In June 2024, following the EC’s request for re-review, the CHMP issued a negative opinion on the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. In October 2024, the CHMP maintained its negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization following the requested reexamination procedure. In March 2025, the EC adopted the opinion of the CHMP to not renew the authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. However, the EC indicated that individual countries within the European Union (“EU”) can leverage Articles 117(3) and 5(1) of the EU Directive 2001/83 to allow continued commercial use of Translarna.
Translarna is an investigational new drug in the United States. Following the Company’s announcement of top-line results from the placebo-controlled trial of Study 041 in June 2022, the Company submitted a meeting request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to gain clarity on the regulatory pathway for a potential resubmission of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Translarna. The FDA provided initial written feedback that Study 041 does not provide substantial evidence of effectiveness to support an NDA resubmission. The Company held a Type C meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 to discuss the totality of Translarna data. Based on feedback from the FDA, the Company resubmitted the NDA in July 2024, based on the results from Study 041 and from the Company’s international drug registry study for nmDMD patients receiving Translarna. In October 2024, the FDA accepted for review the resubmission of the NDA for Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. As this was an NDA resubmission following a complete response letter
9
to the NDA which was filed over protest in 2016, the FDA is not obligated to follow the review timelines under Prescription Drug User Fee Act guidelines and an action date has not been provided.
The Company has developed Sephience™ (sepiapterin), a product for the treatment of phenylketonuria (“PKU”), a rare inherited metabolic disease which affects the brain. On July 28, 2025, Sephience™ was approved by the FDA for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients living with PKU in the United States. On June 19, 2025, Sephience was granted marketing authorization by the EC for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU within the EEA. The Company also made a regulatory submission for Sephience for the treatment of PKU in Brazil in the third quarter of 2024, with a regulatory decision expected in the second half of 2025, and in Japan in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a regulatory decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Company has developed Upstaza™ (eladocagene exuparvovec), a gene therapy for the treatment of Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase (“AADC”) deficiency (“AADC deficiency”), a rare central nervous system (“CNS”) disorder arising from reductions in the enzyme AADC that results from mutations in the dopa decarboxylase gene. In July 2022, the EC approved Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency for patients 18 months and older within the EEA. In November 2022, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approved Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency for patients 18 months and older within the United Kingdom. In November 2024, the FDA approved the Company’s gene therapy treatment of AADC deficiency, which is marketed under the brand name Kebilidi™ in the United States.
The Company holds the rights for the commercialization of Tegsedi® (inotersen) and Waylivra® (volanesorsen) for the treatment of rare diseases in countries in Latin America and the Caribbean pursuant to the Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement”), dated August 1, 2018, by and between the Company and Akcea Therapeutics, Inc. (“Akcea”), a subsidiary of Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Tegsedi has received marketing authorization in the United States, the European Union (the “EU”) and Brazil for the treatment of stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy in adult patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (“hATTR amyloidosis”). In August 2021, ANVISA, the Brazilian health regulatory authority, approved Waylivra as the first treatment for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (“FCS”) in Brazil. In December 2022, ANVISA approved Waylivra for the treatment of familial partial lipodystrophy (“FPL”). Waylivra has also received marketing authorization in the EU for the treatment of FCS.
The Company also has a spinal muscular atrophy (“SMA”) collaboration with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd and Hoffman-La Roche Inc. (referred to collectively as “Roche”) and the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation (“SMA Foundation”). The SMA program has one approved product, Evrysdi® (risdiplam), which was approved by the FDA in August 2020 for the treatment of SMA in adults and children two months and older and by the EC in March 2021 for the treatment of 5q SMA in patients two months and older with a clinical diagnosis of SMA Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 or with one to four SMN2 copies. Evrysdi has also received marketing authorization for the treatment of SMA in over 100 countries. In May 2022, the FDA approved a label expansion for Evrysdi to include infants under two months old with SMA. In August 2023, the EC approved an extension of the Evrysdi marketing authorization to include infants under two months old in the EU.
In addition to the Company’s SMA program, the Company’s splicing platform also includes votoplam (PTC518), which is being developed for the treatment of Huntington’s disease (“HD”). The Company initiated a Phase 2 study of votoplam for the treatment of HD in the first quarter of 2022, which consists of an initial 12-week placebo-controlled phase focused on safety, pharmacology and pharmacodynamic effects followed by a nine-month placebo-controlled phase focused on votoplam biomarker effect. In June 2024, the Company announced interim results from the full Phase 2 study of votoplam. At month 12, votoplam treatment demonstrated durable dose-dependent lowering of mutant HTT (“mHTT”) protein in the blood and dose-dependent lowering of mHTT protein in the cerebrospinal fluid in the interim cohort of stage 2 patients. In addition, favorable trends were demonstrated on several relevant HD clinical assessments. Furthermore, following 12 months of treatment, votoplam continued to be well tolerated. In September 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to the votoplam program for the treatment of HD. In December 2024, the Company held a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss whether huntingtin protein lowering could be considered a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval of votoplam. The FDA was aligned on the scientific rationale and asked to see additional data supportive of an association between huntingtin protein lowering and changes in clinical outcome scores. In May 2025, the Company announced that the Phase 2 study of votoplam met its primary endpoints of blood HTT lowering and safety. The results on the full study population are consistent with the previously reported evidence of dose-dependent HTT lowering, favorable safety profile
10
and early signals of dose-dependent clinical effect at 12 months in Stage 2 patients. In addition, at 24 months of treatment, there were continued trends of dose-dependent favorable clinical effect relative to a propensity-matched natural history cohort as well as dose-dependent NfL lowering. In November 2024, the Company entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Novartis Agreement”) with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Novartis”), relating to its votoplam HD program which included related molecules. This transaction closed in January 2025, triggering a $1.0 billion upfront cash payment to the Company. The Company continues to collaborate with Novartis on next steps for votoplam and aims to meet with FDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 to discuss Phase 3 clinical trial design and potential accelerated approval pathway.
The Company’s inflammation and ferroptosis platform consists of small molecule compounds that target oxidoreductase enzymes that regulate oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways central to the pathology of a number of CNS diseases. The most advanced molecule in the Company’s inflammation and ferroptosis platform is vatiquinone. The Company announced topline results from a registration-directed Phase 3 trial of vatiquinone in children and young adults with Friedreich’s ataxia (“FA”), called MOVE-FA, in May 2023. While the study did not meet its primary endpoint, vatiquinone treatment did demonstrate significant benefit on key disease subscales, including the upright stability subscale, as well as on other disease relevant endpoints. In October 2024, the Company announced that the pre-specified endpoint for two different FA long-term extension studies was met, with statistically significant evidence of durable treatment benefit on disease progression. In December 2024, the Company submitted an NDA to the FDA for vatiquinone for the treatment of children and adults living with FA. In February 2025, the FDA accepted for filing the NDA and granted priority review with a target regulatory action date of August 19, 2025.
In addition, the Company has a pipeline of product candidates and discovery programs that are in early clinical, pre-clinical and research and development stages focused on the development of new treatments for multiple therapeutic areas for rare diseases.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,845.2 million. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the private offerings of convertible senior notes (see Note 9), public and “at the market offerings” of common stock, proceeds from royalty purchase agreements (see Note 9), private placements of its convertible preferred stock and common stock, collaborations, bank and institutional lender debt, other convertible debt, grant funding and clinical trial support from governmental and philanthropic organizations and patient advocacy groups in the disease area addressed by the Company’s product candidates. The Company has also relied on revenue generated from net sales of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in territories outside of the United States since 2014, Emflaza for the treatment of DMD in the United States since 2017, and Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the EEA since 2022. The Company has also relied on revenue associated with milestone and royalty payments from Roche pursuant to the License and Collaboration Agreement (the “SMA License Agreement”) dated as of November 23, 2011, by and among the Company, Roche and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, the SMA Foundation, under its SMA program. The Company also relies on revenues associated with the Novartis Agreement. The Company expects that cash flows from the sales of its products, royalty payments from Roche, and milestone payments from Novartis, together with the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The Company’s complete listing of significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 of the notes to the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 27, 2025 (the "2024 Form 10-K"). Selected significant accounting policies are discussed in further detail below.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial information as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
11
regulations. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 reflects all adjustments, which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2025 or for any other interim period or for any other future year.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements have been made in connection with the calculation of net product sales, royalty revenue, certain accruals related to the Company’s research and development expenses, valuation procedures for liability for sale of future royalties, and the provision for or benefit from income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash included in deposits and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet contains an unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit of $5.0 million in connection with an amendment and restatement of the Company’s lease in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. The letter of credit will be reduced to $3.0 million after July 1, 2025, as the Company is not in default of its lease. Restricted cash also contains an unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit of $10.0 million in connection with obligations for the Company’s new facility lease in Warren, New Jersey. If after July 1, 2027, the Company is not in default of the lease agreement and meets certain creditworthiness guidelines, then the letter of credit will be reduced to $5.0 million. If after December 31, 2028, the Company is not in default of the lease agreement and meets certain creditworthiness guidelines, then the letter of credit will be further reduced to $2.5 million. Both letters of credit are classified within deposits and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet due to the long-term nature of the letters of credit. Restricted cash also includes a bank guarantee of $0.7 million denominated in a foreign currency.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheet that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows:

Segment information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM consists of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and the chief business officer. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating and reporting segment: life science. The life science segment is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of the Company’s clinically differentiated medicines that provide benefits to patients with rare disorders. The Company is managed on a consolidated basis, and accordingly, the CODM assesses performance for the life science segment based on net (loss) income, with a focus on revenues, research and development expense, and selling general, and administrative expense. Net income is reported on the income statement as consolidated net (loss) income.
12
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The Company derives its revenues through its worldwide net sales of its commercial products, collaboration agreements and license agreements, and royalty revenues. Refer to Note 11 for further segment information on revenues.
The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses as it advances product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. As such, the CODM uses cash forecast models in deciding how to invest into the life science segment. Such cash forecast models are reviewed to assess the entity-wide operating results and performance. Net (loss) income is used to monitor planned versus actual results. Monitoring planned versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation, along with the cash forecast models. Refer to Note 13 for segment information on significant segment expenses.
The Company’s marketable securities consists of both debt securities and equity investments. The Company considers its investments in debt securities with original maturities of greater than 90 days to be available for sale securities. Securities under this classification are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses within accumulated other comprehensive income. The estimated fair value of the available for sale securities is determined based on quoted market prices or rates for similar instruments. In addition, the cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount to maturity. For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether it intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value. If the criteria are not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers, among other factors, the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized costs basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no allowance was recorded for credit losses.
Marketable securities that are equity investments are measured at fair value, as it is readily available, and as such are classified as Level 1 assets. Unrealized holding gains and losses for these equity investments are components of other (expense) income, net within the consolidated statement of operations.
Inventory and cost of product, collaboration and license sales
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, utilizing standard costing, which approximates average costs by product. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products following regulatory approval when future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized. Products which may be used in clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and no longer can be used for commercial purposes. Inventory used for marketing efforts are charged to selling, general and administrative expense. Amounts related to clinical development programs and marketing efforts are immaterial.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s inventory for the periods indicated:
December 31, 2024
Raw materials
2,189
2,538
Work in progress
24,365
12,216

8,440
Total inventory
The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess amounts or obsolescence and writes down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded inventory write-downs of $0.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, primarily related to adjustments to inventory reserves and product approaching expiration. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the inventory write-downs were immaterial. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded inventory write-downs of $2.6 million, primarily related to adjustments to inventory reserves and product approaching expiration. Additionally, though the Company’s product is subject to strict quality control and monitoring which it performs throughout the manufacturing processes, certain batches or units of product may not meet quality specifications resulting in a charge to cost of product, collaboration and license sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, these amounts were immaterial.
Cost of product, collaboration and license sales
Cost of product, collaboration and license sales consists of the cost of inventory sold, manufacturing and supply chain costs, storage costs, amortization of the acquired intangible asset, royalty payments associated with net product sales, royalty payments to collaborative partners associated with royalty revenues and collaboration revenue related to milestones, and costs related to performance of services associated with license agreement revenues. Production costs are expensed as cost of product, collaboration and license sales when the related products are sold or royalty revenues and collaboration revenue milestones are earned.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s net product revenue primarily consists of sales of Translarna in territories outside of the U.S. for the treatment of nmDMD and sales of Emflaza in the U.S. for the treatment of DMD. The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied and if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. The Company’s performance obligations are to provide products based on customer orders from distributors, hospitals, specialty pharmacies or retail pharmacies. The performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customer obtains control of the product, which is typically upon delivery. The Company invoices its customers after the products have been delivered and invoice payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of the invoice date. The Company determines the transaction price based on fixed consideration in its contractual agreements. Contract liabilities arise in certain circumstances when consideration is due for goods the Company has yet to provide. As the Company has identified only one distinct performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated entirely to product sales. In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company delivers product to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. Customers in certain countries pay in advance of product delivery. In those instances, payment and delivery typically occur in the same month.
The Company records product sales net of any variable consideration, which includes discounts, allowances, rebates related to Medicaid and other government pricing programs, and distribution fees. The Company uses the expected value or most likely amount method when estimating its variable consideration, unless discount or rebate terms are specified within contracts. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from product sales are recognized. These estimates for variable consideration are adjusted to reflect known changes in factors and may impact such estimates in the quarter those changes are known. Revenue recognized does not include amounts of variable consideration that are constrained.
14
In relation to customer contracts, the Company incurs costs to fulfill a contract but does not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. The Company considers any shipping and handling costs that are incurred after the customer has obtained control of the product as a cost to fulfill a promise. Shipping and handling costs associated with finished goods delivered to customers are recorded as a selling expense.
Collaboration, license, and royalty revenue
The terms of these agreements typically include payments to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, upfront license fees; milestone payments; research funding and royalties on future product sales. In addition, the Company generates service revenue through agreements that generally provide for fees for research and development services and may include additional payments upon achievement of specified events.
At the inception of a collaboration arrangement, the Company needs to first evaluate if the arrangement meets the criteria in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 808 “Collaborative Arrangements” to then determine if ASC Topic 606 is applicable by considering whether the collaborator meets the definition of a customer. If the criteria are met, the Company assesses the promises in the arrangement to identify distinct performance obligations.
For licenses of intellectual property, the Company assesses, at contract inception, whether the intellectual property is distinct from other performance obligations identified in the arrangement. If the licensing of intellectual property is determined to be distinct, revenue is recognized for nonrefundable, upfront license fees when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer can use and benefit from the license. If the licensing of intellectual property is determined not to be distinct, then the license will be bundled with other promises in the arrangement into one distinct performance obligation. The Company needs to determine if the bundled performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the Company concludes that the nonrefundable, upfront license fees will be recognized over time, the Company will need to assess the appropriate method of measuring proportional performance.
For milestone payments, the Company assesses, at contract inception, whether the development or sales-based milestones are considered probable of being achieved. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will occur, the Company will not record revenue until the uncertainty has been resolved. Milestone payments that are contingent upon regulatory approval are not considered probable of being achieved until the applicable regulatory approvals or other external conditions are obtained as such conditions are not within the Company’s control. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur, the Company will estimate the milestone payments using the most likely amount method. The Company will re-assess the development and sales-based milestones each reporting period to determine the probability of achievement. The Company recognizes royalties from product sales at the later of when the related sales occur or when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur, the Company will estimate the royalty payments using the most likely amount method.
The Company recognizes revenue for reimbursements of research and development costs under collaboration agreements as the services are performed. The Company records these reimbursements as revenue and not as a reduction of research and development expenses as the Company has the risks and rewards as the principal in the research and development activities.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company estimates uncollectible amounts based upon current customer receivable balances, the age of customer receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition and current economic trends. The Company also assesses whether an allowance for expected credit losses may be required which includes a review of the Company’s receivables portfolio, which are pooled on a customer basis or country basis. In making its assessment of whether an allowance for credit losses is required, the Company considers its historical experience with customers, current balances, levels of delinquency, regulatory and legal environments, and other relevant current and future forecasted economic conditions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no allowance was recorded for credit losses. The allowance for
15
doubtful accounts was $10.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, bad debt expense was $5.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, bad debt expense was immaterial.
Liability for sale of future royalties
The Company has a royalty purchase agreement with Royalty Pharma Investments 2019 ICAV (“Royalty Pharma”) in which the Company sold its right to receive sales-based royalty payments on worldwide net sales of Evrysdi in exchange for upfront cash consideration from Royalty Pharma. In accordance with the guidance in ASC 470-10-25-2, the Company determined that cash consideration obtained pursuant to the royalty purchase agreement should be classified as debt and is recorded as “liability for sale of future royalties-current” and “liability for sale of future royalties-noncurrent” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of the expected payments to be made to Royalty Pharma. The liability is amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement, in accordance with the respective guidance, utilizing the prospective method to account for subsequent changes in the estimated future payments to be made to Royalty Pharma and the Company updates the effective interest rate on a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 9 for further details.
Goodwill represents the amount of consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired as a result of the Company’s business acquisitions accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to impairment testing at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or when a triggering event occurs that may indicate the carrying value of the goodwill is impaired. The Company reassesses its reporting units as part of its annual segment review. An entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
Income Taxes
On December 15, 2022, the EU Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates were January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. A significant number of other countries are also implementing similar legislation. As a result, the tax laws in the U.S. and other countries in which PTC and its affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis and any such changes could materially adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact on future periods of the Pillar Two Framework, pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries, including those within the EU.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), which significantly revised U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, lowering the U.S. federal statutory corporate income tax rate to 21%, imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings, and eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions. The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the TCJA require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2025.
Since 2022, TCJA amendments to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 174 no longer permit an immediate deduction for research and development expenditures in the tax year that such costs are incurred. Instead, these IRC Section 174 development costs must now be capitalized and amortized over either a five- or 15-year period, depending on the location of the activities performed. The new amortization period begins with the midpoint of any taxable year that IRC Section 174 costs are first incurred, regardless of whether the expenditures were made prior to or after July 1, and runs until the midpoint of year five for activities conducted in the United States or year 15 in the case of development conducted on
16
foreign soil. This tax law change is anticipated to result in an increased current taxable income of the Company by $5.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which generally extends the tax provisions enacted by the TCJA that were set to expire at the end of 2025, as well as making other changes to federal tax law for multinational corporations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation and the impact on its financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is not more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will be realized.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component for all leases. Operating and finance leases are classified as right of use ("ROU") assets, short term lease liabilities, and long term lease liabilities. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are amortized and lease liabilities accrete to yield straight-line expense over the term of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments.
Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applies this policy to all underlying asset categories.
A lessee is required to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating its incremental borrowing rates.
The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of useful life or lease term. Refer to Note 3 for further details.
Tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net includes impairments identified on fixed assets, losses and gains on sales of fixed assets, and gains on lease terminations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, these amounts consisted of a $0.1 million loss related to fixed asset impairments. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, these amounts
17
consisted of a $0.1 million loss on sales of fixed assets and a $0.1 million loss related to fixed asset impairments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, these amounts consisted of a $4.2 million loss related to the sale of certain assets related to gene therapy manufacturing and $0.2 million of fixed asset impairments. These amounts were partially offset by a gain of $2.2 million on lease terminations and a $0.4 million gain on sales of fixed assets.
Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently planning to adopt this guidance when effective. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes, but expects the impact will be enhanced disclosures related to income taxes.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 enhances financial reporting by requiring additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently planning to adopt this guidance when effective. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes but expects the impact will be enhanced disclosures related to income statement expenses.
3. Leases
The Company’s principal office space is a facility located in Warren, New Jersey, which is approximately 180,000 square feet. The Company also leases laboratory space in Bridgewater, New Jersey and other locations throughout the United States and office space in various countries for international employees primarily through workspace providers.
The Company also has a finance lease related to its commercial manufacturing agreement with MassBiologics of the University of Massachusetts Medical School (“MassBio”). As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the finance lease liabilities-current and finance lease liabilities-noncurrent are $5.4 million and $13.8 million, respectively, and are directly related to the Company’s MassBio agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the balance of the finance lease liabilities-current and finance lease liabilities-noncurrent were $3.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded finance lease costs of $0.3 million and $0.6 million related to interest on the lease liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded finance lease costs of $0.3 million and $0.7 million related to interest on the lease liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
The Company also leases certain vehicles, lab equipment, and office equipment under operating leases. The Company’s leases have remaining operating lease terms ranging from 0.3 years to 13.9 years and certain of the leases include renewal options to extend the lease for up to 15 years. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, rent expense was $5.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

4. Fair value of financial instruments and marketable securities
The Company follows the fair value measurement rules, which provideguidance on the use of fair value in accounting and disclosure for assets and liabilities when such accounting and disclosure is called for by other accounting literature. These rules establish a fair value hierarchy for inputs to be used to measure fair value of financial assets and liabilities.
19
This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 (highest priority), Level 2, and Level 3 (lowest priority).
Cash equivalents and marketable securities are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. The carrying amount of receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
The Company owns common stock in ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (“ClearPoint”) (formerly MRI Interventions, Inc.), a publicly traded medical device company. The ClearPoint equity investments (collectively, the “ClearPoint Equity Investments”) represent financial instruments, and therefore, are recorded at fair value, which is readily determinable. The ClearPoint Equity Investments are components of prepaids and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company classifies the ClearPoint Equity Investments as Level 1 assets within the fair value hierarchy, as the value is based on a quoted market price in an active market, which is not adjusted. Other than the ClearPoint Equity Investments, no other items included in prepaids and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets are fair valued.
In January 2020, the Company purchased a $10.0 million convertible note from ClearPoint that was convertible into ClearPoint shares at a conversion rate of $6.00 per share at any point throughout the term of the loan, with a maturity date five years from the purchase date. In August 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the convertible note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was repaid in full by ClearPoint and therefore the balance at June 30, 2025 was $0. The Company determined that the convertible note represented an available for sale debt security and the Company had elected to record it at fair value under ASC 825. The Company classified its ClearPoint convertible debt security as a Level 2 asset within the fair value hierarchy, as the value was based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. The fair value of the ClearPoint convertible debt security was determined at each reporting period by utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model, as well as a present value of expected cash flows from the debt security utilizing the risk-free rate and the estimated credit spread as of the valuation date as the discount rate. The convertible debt security was included as a component of deposits and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company has an investment in mutual funds that is denominated in a foreign currency and is classified as marketable securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This equity investment is reported at fair value, as it is readily available, and as such is classified as a Level 1 asset. Unrealized holding gains and losses for this equity investment are included as components of interest expense, net within the consolidated statement of operations.
The tables presented below are a summary of changes in the fair value for the Company’s marketable securities – equity investments, ClearPoint Equity Investments, and ClearPoint convertible debt security for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

Fair value of marketable securities that are classified as available for sale debt securities is based upon market prices using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets quoted on the last day of the period. In establishing the estimated fair value of the remaining available for sale debt securities, the Company used the fair value as determined by its investment advisors using observable inputs other than quoted prices.
The following represents the fair value using the hierarchy described above for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether it intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no write downs occurred. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. The Company also reviews its available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. This review is subjective, as it requires management to evaluate whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred in that period that may be related to credit issues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no allowance was recorded for credit losses. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ deficit.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, realized gains from the sale of available for sale debt securities were immaterial. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any realized gains or losses from the sale of available for sale debt securities. Realized gains and losses are reported as a component of interest expense, net in the consolidated statement of operations. Reclassified amounts from other comprehensive items were determined using the actual realized gains and losses from the sales of marketable securities.

Convertible senior notes
In September 2019, the Company issued $287.5 million of 1.50% convertible senior notes due September 15, 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). The fair value of the 2026 Convertible Notes, which differs from their carrying values, is influenced by interest rates, the Company’s stock price and stock price volatility and is determined by prices for the 2026 Convertible Notes observed in market trading which are Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Convertible Notes at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $332.8 million and $321.3 million, respectively.
23
Level 3 valuation
The contingent consideration payable is fair valued each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss within the change in the fair value of contingent consideration on the consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of 2025, the probability of triggering the remaining contingent consideration was determined to be remote, and therefore the balance was written down to zero. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is $0.8 million and is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 10 for additional details.

6. Capitalization
In August 2019, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (together, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which, the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million from time to time through the Sales Agents by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No shares were sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The remaining shares of the Company’s common stock available to be issued and sold, under the At the Market Offering, have an aggregate offering price of up to $93.0 million as of June 30, 2025.

* In the three months ended June 30, 2025, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company experienced a net loss and therefore did not report any dilutive share impact.
The following table shows historical common share equivalents outstanding, which are not included in the above calculation, as the effect of their inclusion is anti-dilutive during each period. The anti-dilutive shares are calculated as the unweighted outstanding shares as of the reporting period end date that are antidilutive using the treasury stock method.

8. Stock award plan
In May 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which became effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. On June 8, 2022 (the “Restatement Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2013 LTIP”). The Amended 2013 LTIP provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended 2013 LTIP is the sum of (A) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (up to 16,724,212 shares) that is equal to the sum of (1) the number of shares issued under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan prior to the Restatement Effective Date, (2) the number of shares that remain available for issuance under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date and (3) the number of shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan prior to the Restatement Effective Date that are outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date, plus (B) from and after the Restatement Effective Date, an additional 8,475,000 shares of
25
Common Stock. As of June 30, 2025, awards for 5,104,352 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the Amended 2013 LTIP.
In January 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. The 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards for, initially, up to at the time, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Any grants made under the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan must be made pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) inducement grant exception as a material component of the Company’s new hires’ employment compensation. In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. In April 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reduction in the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan to 1,300,000 shares. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional 1,700,000 shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2025, awards for 1,851,726 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan.
The Board of Directors has the authority to select the individuals to whom options are granted and determine the terms of each option, including (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to the option; (ii) the date on which the option becomes exercisable; (iii) the option exercise price, which, in the case of incentive stock options, must be at least 100% (110% in the case of incentive stock options granted to a stockholder owning in excess of 10% of the Company’s stock) of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant; and (iv) the duration of the option (which, in the case of incentive stock options, may not exceed ten years). Options typically vest over a four-year period.
Inducement stock option awards
From January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025, the Company issued a total of 822,470 stock options to various employees. Of those, 31,725 were inducement grants for non-statutory stock options, all of which were made pursuant to the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan.

The fair value of grants made in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was contemporaneously estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
Six months ended
Risk-free interest rate
3.93% - 4.44%
Expected volatility
55% - 56%
Expected term
5.5 years
26
The Company assumed no expected dividends for all grants. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $25.30 per share.
The expected term of options was estimated based on the Company’s historical exercise data and the expected volatility of options was estimated based on the Company’s historical stock volatility. The risk-free rate of the options was based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities yields at the date of grant for a term similar to the expected term of the option.
Restricted Stock Units—Restricted stock units are granted subject to certain restrictions, including in some cases service or time conditions (restricted stock). The grant-date fair value of restricted stock units, which have been determined based upon the market value of the Company’s shares on the grant date, are expensed over the vesting period. From January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, the Company issued a total of 1,576,245 restricted stock units to various employees. Of those, 67,990 were inducement grants for restricted stock units, all of which were made pursuant to the 2020 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan.
The following table summarizes information on the Company’s restricted stock units:

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units—In December 2023, the Company granted 150,000 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Matthew Klein, which will vest only if certain regulatory milestones are achieved over an approximately two year performance period. In December 2024, the Company granted 25,000 PSUs to Dr. Matthew Klein, which will vest only if challenging performance goals relating to development, regulatory, or commercial goals are achieved over an approximately five year performance period. As of June 30, 2025, the achievements of the performance goals have not yet been deemed probable and therefore no expense has been recognized to date. An additional 31,250 PSUs with market conditions were granted in December 2024. The expense related to the PSUs with market conditions was $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan—In June 2016, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, the “ESPP” or the "Plan”), for certain eligible employees. The Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. In June 2021, the Plan was amended to increase the total number of shares available for purchase under the Plan from one million shares to two million shares of the Company’s common stock. Employees may participate over a six month period through payroll withholdings and may purchase, at the end of the six month period, the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of at least 85% of the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first business day of the offering period or the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the offering period, whichever is lower. No participant will be granted a right to purchase the Company’s common stock under the Plan if such participant would own more than 5% of the total combined voting power of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company after such purchase. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in compensation expense related to the ESPP.
27
The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in the statement of operations related to incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock units and the ESPP as follows:
9,030
9,428
17,693
18,395
9,513

18,910
19,226
As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $153.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s equity award plans. This cost is expected to be recognized as share-based compensation expense over the weighted average remaining service period of approximately 2.8 years.
9. Debt
On July 17, 2020, the Company, RPI Intermediate Finance Trust (“RPI”), and, for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Royalty Pharma plc, entered into a royalty purchase agreement (the “Original Royalty Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to RPI 42.933% (the “Original Assigned Royalty Rights”) of the Company’s right to receive sales-based royalty payments (the “Royalty”) on worldwide net sales of Evrysdi and any other product developed pursuant to the SMA License Agreement. In consideration for the sale of the Original Assigned Royalty Rights, RPI paid the Company $650.0 million in cash consideration. The Company has retained a 57.067% interest in the Royalty and all economic rights to receive the remaining potential regulatory and sales milestone payments under the License Agreement, which remaining milestone payments equal $150.0 million in the aggregate as of December 31, 2024. The Original Royalty Purchase Agreement was set to terminate 60 days following the earlier of the date on which Roche is no longer obligated to make any payments of the Royalty pursuant to the SMA License Agreement and the date on which RPI has received $1.3 billion in respect of the Original Assigned Royalty Rights.
Pursuant to the guidance in ASC 470-10-25-2, the Company determined that the $650.0 million cash consideration obtained pursuant to the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement should be classified as debt and recorded it as “liability for sale of future royalties-current” and “liability for sale of future royalties-noncurrent” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of the expected payments to be made to RPI at the time of the transaction. The liability was subsequently amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement, in accordance with the respective guidance, utilizing the prospective method to account for subsequent changes in the estimated future payments to be made to RPI.
On October 18, 2023, the Company, Royalty Pharma, and, for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Royalty Pharma plc, entered into an Amended and Restated Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement”), which amends and restates in its entirety the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Company has sold or agreed to sell to Royalty Pharma certain portions of the Company’s remaining Royalty on worldwide net sales of Evrysdi and any other product (the “Products”) developed pursuant to the SMA License Agreement (all such retained Royalty rights of the Company, the “Retained Royalty Rights,” and all such Royalty rights that are sold to Royalty Pharma pursuant to the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement, the “A&R Assigned Royalty Rights”). At closing, Royalty Pharma paid the Company $1.0 billion in cash consideration for 38.0447% of the Company’s Retained Royalty Rights (which is in addition to the 42.9330% assigned to Royalty Pharma in connection with the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement, for a total of 80.9777% of the total Royalty) until such time as Royalty Pharma has received payments in respect of the Original Assigned Royalty Rights equal to $1.3 billion in the aggregate, and thereafter 66.6667% of the total Royalty. In addition, the Company may sell to Royalty Pharma the remainder of the Company’s Retained Royalty Rights in exchange for an aggregate of $500.0 million in additional cash consideration after the closing of the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement, less royalties received in respect of the Retained Royalty Rights put to Royalty Pharma, which will be payable by Royalty Pharma pursuant to five put options held by the Company that are exercisable at the Company’s option between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025. If the Company exercises two or
28
fewer of the put options, Royalty Pharma may exercise a call option during the period from and after January 1, 2026 until and including March 31, 2026 for up to 50% of the remainder of the Company’s Retained Royalty Rights less amounts exercised by the Company via its put options at a purchase price that is proportional to the purchase price of the Company’s unexercised put options. Royalty Pharma’s exercise of the call option would result in Royalty Pharma owning 90.4888% of the total Royalty until such time as Royalty Pharma has received payments in respect of the Original Assigned Royalty Rights equal to $1.3 billion in the aggregate, and thereafter 83.3333% of the total Royalty. The A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement will terminate 60 days following the date on which Roche is no longer obligated to make any payments of the Royalty pursuant to the SMA License Agreement.
The change in rights and obligations from the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in the terms of the liability for sale of future royalties, which was evaluated by the Company in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments. The Company determined that the present value of the cash flows under the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement were substantially different from the present value of the cash flows under the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement. This resulted in the derecognition of the old liability for sale of future royalties and the new liability for sale of future royalties being recorded at fair value, which was determined to be $1,809.9 million as of the date of the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement. This resulted in an extinguishment loss of $44.9 million, which was recorded within loss on extinguishment of debt, within the Company’s statement of operations in the year ended December 31, 2023.
The fair value for the new liability for sale of future royalties on the date of the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement was based on the Company’s estimates of future royalties expected to be paid to Royalty Pharma over the life of the arrangement, which was determined using forecasts from market data sources, which are considered Level 3 inputs. The liability is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement, in accordance with ASC 470 and ASC 835. The initial annual effective interest rate was determined to be 10.8%. The Company utilized the prospective method to account for subsequent changes in the estimated future payments to be made to Royalty Pharma and updates the effective interest rate on a quarterly basis. Issuance costs related to the transaction were determined to be immaterial.
In June 2024, the Company, Royalty Pharma and Royalty Pharma plc, entered into an amendment to the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement. Under the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Company exercised a put option in June 2024, resulting in the Company receiving $241.8 million in cash consideration. In connection with the put option exercise, the change in rights and obligations resulted in a change in the terms of the liability for sale of future royalties, which was evaluated by the Company in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt —Modifications and Extinguishments. The Company determined that the present value of the cash flows after the put option exercise was not substantially different and was therefore determined to be a modification. The $241.8 million in cash consideration obtained was added to the liability for sale of future royalties and the annual effective interest rate under the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement was determined to be 9.9%. The liability is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement, in accordance with the respective guidance, utilizing the prospective method to account for subsequent changes in the estimated future payments to be made to Royalty Pharma and the Company updates the effective interest rate on a quarterly basis.
To date, the Company has sold to Royalty Pharma a total of 90.49% of the Royalty, which will be reduced to 83.33% (the “Assigned Royalty Rights”) after Royalty Pharma receives $1.3 billion in aggregate payments (the “Assigned Royalty Cap”) from the Royalty assigned at the closing of the Original Purchase Agreement. In exchange for the Assigned Royalty Rights, Royalty Pharma has paid to the Company upfront cash consideration totaling $1.9 billion, less Royalty payments received by the Company with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights. The Company currently retains 9.51% of the Royalty, which increases to 16.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met. The Company has the option under the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement to sell its retained portions of the Royalty to Royalty Pharma in up to three tranches for the following payments: (1) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, (2) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, and (3) $50.0 million in exchange for 1.90% of the Royalty, which increases to 3.33% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, in each case less Royalty payments received by the Company with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights. The A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement will terminate 60
29
days following the date on which Roche is no longer obligated to make any payments of the Royalty pursuant to the License Agreement.

2026 Convertible Notes
In September 2019, the Company issued the 2026 Convertible Notes, which included an option to purchase up to an additional $37.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes, which was exercised in full by the initial purchasers. The 2026 Convertible Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2020. The 2026 Convertible Notes will mature on September 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were $279.3 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the offering expenses payable by the Company.
The 2026 Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the “2026 Convertible Notes Indenture") with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee (the "2026 Convertible Notes Trustee").
Holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes may convert their 2026 Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2026 only under the following circumstances:
On or after March 15, 2026, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their 2026 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or any combination thereof at the Company’s election.
30
The conversion rate for the 2026 Convertible Notes was initially, and remains, 19.0404 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.52 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate may be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company was not permitted to redeem the 2026 Convertible Notes prior to September 20, 2023. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Convertible Notes, at its option, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect on the last trading day of, and for at least 19 other trading days (whether or not consecutive) during, any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the 2026 Convertible Notes periodically.
If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2026 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The 2026 Convertible Notes represent senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated, effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture contains customary events of default with respect to the 2026 Convertible Notes, including that upon certain events of default (including the Company’s failure to make any payment of principal or interest on the 2026 Convertible Notes when due and payable) occurring and continuing, the 2026 Convertible Notes Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes by notice to the Company and the Convertible Notes Trustee, may, and the 2026 Convertible Notes Trustee at the request of such holders (subject to the provisions of the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture) shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the 2026 Convertible Notes to be due and payable. In case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, involving the Company or a significant subsidiary, 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2026 Convertible Notes will automatically become due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately.
The 2026 Convertible Notes consist of the following:

10. Commitments and contingencies
Under various agreements, the Company will be required to pay royalties and milestone payments upon the successful development and commercialization of products.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agilis Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 19, 2018 by and among the Company, Agilis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Agilis”) and Agility Merger Sub, Inc. (such merger pursuant thereto, the “Agilis Merger”), Agilis equityholders were previously entitled to receive contingent consideration payments from the Company based on (i) the achievement of certain development milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $60.0 million, (ii) the achievement of certain regulatory approval milestones together with a milestone payment following the receipt of a priority review voucher up to an aggregate maximum amount of $535.0 million, (iii) the achievement of certain net sales milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $150.0 million, and (iv) a percentage of annual net sales for FA and Angelman syndrome during specified terms, ranging from 2%-6%. The Company was required to pay $40.0 million of the development milestone payments upon the passing of the second anniversary of the closing of the Agilis Merger, regardless of whether the applicable milestones have been achieved.
As of June 30, 2025, all of the milestones have either been paid or settled, with the exception of the regulatory milestones and net sales milestones related to FA and Angelman syndrome and the net sales milestones related to Upstaza/Kebilidi. In May 2023, as part of the Company’s strategic portfolio prioritization, the Company decided to discontinue its preclinical and early research programs in its gene therapy platform, which included FA and Angelman syndrome. As a result, the Company does not expect the milestones related to FA and Angelman syndrome to be achieved. In addition, the Company does not expect to pay the 2%–6% royalties on annual net sales related to FA and Angelman syndrome. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining potential sales milestones related to Upstaza/Kebilidi is $50.0 million, however the Company has determined that the probability of triggering these milestones is remote.
On October 25, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of BioElectron Technology Corporation (“BioElectron”), a Delaware corporation, including certain compounds that the Company has begun to develop as part of its inflammation and ferroptosis platform, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and between the Company and BioElectron, dated October 1, 2019 (the “BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement”). BioElectron was a private company with a pipeline focused on inflammatory CNS disorders. The lead program, vatiquinone, is in late stage development for FA with substantial unmet need and significant commercial opportunity that are complementary to PTC’s existing pipeline.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement, BioElectron may become entitled to receive contingent milestone payments of up to $200.0 million (in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company) from the Company based on the achievement of certain regulatory and net sales milestones. Subject to the terms and conditions of the BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement, BioElectron may also become entitled to receive contingent payments based on a percentage of net sales of certain products.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2020 (the “Censa Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Censa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Censa”), Hydro Merger Sub, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned, indirect subsidiary, and, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the securityholders of Censa, Shareholder Representative Services LLC (such merger pursuant thereto, the “Censa Merger”), former Censa securityholders may become entitled to receive contingent payments from the Company based on (i) the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $217.5 million for sepiapterin’s two most advanced programs and receipt of a priority review voucher from the FDA as set forth in the Censa Merger Agreement, (ii) $109.0 million in development and regulatory milestones for each additional indication of sepiapterin, (iii) the achievement of certain net sales milestones up to an aggregate maximum amount of $160.0 million, (iv) a percentage of annual net sales during specified terms, ranging from single to low double digits of the applicable net sales threshold amount, and (v) any sublicense fees paid to the Company in consideration of any sublicense of Censa’s intellectual property to commercialize sepiapterin, on a country-by-country basis, which contingent payment shall equal to a mid-double digit percentage of any such sublicense fees.
32
In June 2025, Sephience™ (sepiapterin) was granted marketing authorization by the EC for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU. Pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the acceptance triggered a $25.0 million regulatory milestone to the former Censa securityholders, which was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $95.0 million of the $217.5 million in development and regulatory milestones have been paid to the former Censa securityholders.
The Company also has the Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement for the commercialization of Tegsedi and Waylivra, and products containing those compounds in countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Akcea is entitled to receive royalty payments subject to certain terms set forth in the Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement.
The Company has employment agreements with certain employees which require the funding of a specific level of payments, if certain events, such as a change in control or termination without cause, occur. Additionally, the Company has royalty payments associated with Translarna, Emflaza, and Upstaza net product revenue, payable quarterly or annually in accordance with the terms of the related agreements.
From time to time in the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to claims, legal proceedings and disputes. The Company is not currently aware of any material legal proceedings against it.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, two of the Company’s distributors each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s net product sales.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company does not have a contract liabilities balance related to net product sales, and has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying ASC Topic 606.
Collaboration and License revenue
In November 2011, the Company and the SMA Foundation entered into a licensing and collaboration agreement with Roche. Under the terms of the SMA License Agreement, Roche acquired an exclusive worldwide license to the Company’s SMA program.
Under the agreement, the Company is eligible to receive additional payments from Roche if specified events are achieved with respect to each licensed product, including up to $135.0 million in research and development event milestones, up to $325.0 million in sales milestones upon achievement of specified sales events, and up to double digit royalties on worldwide annual net sales of a commercial product.
The SMA program currently has one approved product, Evrysdi, which was approved in August 2020 by the FDA for the treatment of SMA in adults and children two months and older. As of June 30, 2025, the Company does not have any remaining research and development event milestones that can be received. The remaining potential sales milestones that can be received is $150.0 million.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, collaboration revenue related to the SMA License Agreement with Roche was immaterial. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize collaboration revenue related to the SMA License Agreement with Roche.
In addition to research and development and sales milestones, the Company is eligible to receive up to double-digit royalties on worldwide annual net sales of a commercial product under the SMA License Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company has recognized $57.6 million and $94.0 million of royalty revenue, respectively, related to Evrysdi. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has recognized $53.2 million and $84.3 million of royalty revenue, respectively, related to Evrysdi.
In November 2024, the Company entered into the Novartis Agreement with Novartis related to the Company’s votoplam HD program. The transaction contemplated by the Novartis Agreement closed in January 2025. Under the Novartis Agreement, and upon the closing of the transaction, the Company received an upfront nonrefundable payment of $1.0 billion on the effective date and can receive up to $1.9 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, a 40% share of U.S. profits and losses, and tiered double-digit royalties on ex-U.S. sales.
The Company evaluated the Novartis Agreement in order to determine the proper accounting treatment and concluded that the arrangement was not subject to ASC 730 or ASC 808, as the upfront payment was nonrefundable with no obligation
for the Company to repay it and as the Company is not exposed to significant risks. The Company evaluated the arrangement under ASC 606, as a contract with a customer was determined to exist.
Pursuant to the Novartis Agreement, the Company was required to transfer the applicable licenses and related manufacturing and other know how to Novartis and to complete the ongoing Phase 2A clinical trial and continue the ongoing open label extension (“OLE”) clinical trial pursuant to its existing development plan, with the goal of transitioning the ongoing OLE clinical trial to Novartis within 12 months after the effective date of the Novartis Agreement. Novartis will be responsible for all other development of licensed compounds and licensed products and the manufacture and commercialization of licensed compounds and licensed products worldwide. Therefore, the Company determined that there were three material and distinct performance obligations: the transfer of the licenses and know-how, completion of the Phase 2A clinical trial, and continuing the OLE clinical trial until transitioned to Novartis. As of June 30, 2025, the first two performance obligations were considered to be substantially complete. The OLE clinical trial is still ongoing and is expected to be fully transitioned to Novartis by the end of 2025.
The Company determined that the transaction included the fixed consideration of the $1.0 billion and variable consideration in the form of milestones, profit share, and royalties. Management evaluated the variable consideration under ASC 606 and determined that it would be fully constrained until the contingencies were resolved or any applicable sales occurred. Management allocated the transaction price of $1.0 billion to the performance obligations based on the guidance in ASC 606.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $2.9 million and $992.7 million, respectively, in license revenues related to performance obligations for Novartis already completed. The remaining $7.3 million is recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and will be recognized over time as the work related to the OLE clinical trial is performed. Collaboration and license revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was partially offset by $3.5 million related to a refund for a prior collaboration arrangement in relation to votoplam.
Manufacturing Revenue
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not recognize any revenue related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $1.7 million of manufacturing revenue, respectively, related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying ASC Topic 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company does not have a contract liabilities balance or contract assets related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers.
In June 2024, the Company sold its gene therapy manufacturing business in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to have manufacturing revenue going forward.

Sephience FDA Approval
On July 28, 2025, Sephience™ was approved by the FDA for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients living with PKU in the United States. Pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the approval triggered a $32.5 million regulatory milestone to the former Censa securityholders. The $32.5 million regulatory milestone will be recorded as an intangible asset and amortized to cost of product sales over its expected useful life on a straight-line basis.
Censa Rights Satisfaction Agreement
On August 5, 2025, the Company, certain of the former securityholders of Censa, and, for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, entered into a Rights Satisfaction Agreement (“the Rights Satisfaction Agreement”) pursuant to which such former securityholders of Censa (the “Participating Rightsholders”) agreed to the cancellation and forfeiture of their rights to receive certain payments based on worldwide annual net sales by the Company of products containing sepiapterin (“Net Sales of Product”) under the Censa Merger Agreement, in exchange for the consideration set forth in the Rights Satisfaction Agreement and further detailed below.
Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Satisfaction Agreement, the Participating Rightsholders have canceled and forfeited their rights under the Censa Merger Agreement to receive a percentage of annual net sales during the applicable payment term equal to (i) 8% of annual Net Sales of Product for that portion of annual Net Sales of Product less than or equal to $250.0 million, (ii) 10% of annual Net Sales of Product for that portion of annual Net Sales of Product greater than $250.0 million but less than $500.0 million and (iii) 12% of annual Net Sales of Product for that portion of annual Net Sales of Product greater than $500.0 million (collectively, the “Net Sales Payments”).
In consideration of the foregoing, the Company agreed to pay to the Participating Rightsholders an aggregate amount in cash up to $250.0 million (the “Upfront Consideration”) upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Rights Satisfaction Agreement (the “Closing”) and potential milestone payments (each an “Additional Milestone Payment”) of up to $100.0 million each (or up to $500.0 million in the aggregate) based on the achievement of specified Net Sales Thresholds (as defined in the Censa Merger Agreement). The amount of the Upfront Consideration and the Additional Milestone Payments was subject to adjustment in the Rights Satisfaction Agreement based on the number of Participating Rightsholders.
At the Closing, based on the participation of former Censa securityholders holding approximately 90% of Censa’s equity securities prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Censa Merger Agreement, the Company paid
38
an aggregate amount of Upfront Consideration in cash of approximately $225.0 million. Additionally, the Company is obligated to make Additional Milestone Payments in an amount equal to approximately $90.0 million upon achievement of each of the (i) first occurrence of a three or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $3.0 billion, (ii) first occurrence of a five or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $5.0 billion, (iii) first occurrence of a seven or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $7.0 billion, (iv) first occurrence of a nine or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $9.0 billion and (v) first occurrence of an 11 or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $11.0 billion. If, after the Closing, any additional former securityholder of Censa executes and delivers a joinder to the Rights Satisfaction Agreement and becomes a party thereto, the Company will pay such former securityholder an amount in cash equal to such former securityholder’s applicable pro rata share of the Upfront Consideration (less any Net Sale Payments previously received) and any Additional Milestone Payments that become payable to Participating Rightsholders under the Rights Satisfaction Agreement. The Upfront Consideration and any Additional Milestone Payments that become payable to Participating Rightsholders under the Rights Satisfaction Agreement will be recorded as an intangible asset and amortized to cost of product sales over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis.
The Rights Satisfaction Agreement has no effect on the Censa Merger Agreement other than to provide for the cancellation and forfeiture of the Participating Rightsholders’ rights to receive the Net Sales Payments described above. As a result, all other rights and obligations under the Censa Merger Agreement remain in effect pursuant to their terms, including, without limitation, the Company's obligation to pay certain contingent payments upon the achievement of certain development and Net Sales of Product milestones.
The Rights Satisfaction Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Participating Rightsholders and provided for a simultaneous signing and closing.

Corporate Updates
Sephience™ (sepiapterin)
Sephience (sepiapterin) is a product for the treatment of phenylketonuria, or PKU, a rare inherited metabolic disease which affects the brain. On July 28, 2025, Sephience was approved by the FDA for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients living with PKU in the United States. On June 19, 2025, Sephience was granted marketing authorization by the EC for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU within the EEA. We also made a regulatory submission for Sephience for the treatment of PKU in Brazil in the third quarter of 2024, with a regulatory decision expected in the second half of 2025, and in Japan in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a regulatory decision expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
On August 5, 2025, we, certain of the former securityholders of Censa, and, for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, entered into a Rights Satisfaction Agreement, or the Rights Satisfaction Agreement, pursuant to which such former securityholders of Censa, or the Participating Rightsholders, agreed to the cancellation and forfeiture of their rights to receive certain payments based on worldwide annual net sales by us of products containing sepiapterin, or Net Sales of Product, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2020, or the Censa Merger Agreement, by and among us, Hydro Merger Sub, Inc., our wholly owned, indirect subsidiary, Censa and, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the securityholders of Censa, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, in exchange for the consideration set forth in the Rights Satisfaction Agreement and further detailed below.
Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Satisfaction Agreement, the Participating Rightsholders have canceled and forfeited their rights under the Censa Merger Agreement to receive a percentage of annual net sales during the applicable payment term equal to (i) 8% of annual Net Sales of Product for that portion of annual Net Sales of Product less than or equal to $250.0 million, (ii) 10% of annual Net Sales of Product for that portion of annual Net Sales of Product greater than
$250.0 million but less than $500.0 million and (iii) 12% of annual Net Sales of Product for that portion of annual Net Sales of Product greater than $500.0 million, which we refer to collectively as the Net Sales Payments.
In consideration of the foregoing, we agreed to pay to the Participating Rightsholders an aggregate amount in cash up to $250.0 million, or the Upfront Consideration, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Rights Satisfaction Agreement, or the Closing, and potential milestone payments, each, an Additional Milestone Payment, of up to $100.0 million each (or up to $500.0 million in the aggregate) based on the achievement of specified Net Sales Thresholds (as defined in the Censa Merger Agreement). The amount of the Upfront Consideration and the Additional Milestone Payments was subject to adjustment in the Rights Satisfaction Agreement based on the number of Participating Rightsholders.
At the Closing, based on the participation of former Censa securityholders holding approximately 90% of Censa’s equity securities prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Censa Merger Agreement, we paid an aggregate amount of Upfront Consideration in cash of approximately $225.0 million. Additionally, we are obligated to make Additional Milestone Payments in an amount equal to approximately $90.0 million upon achievement of each of the (i) first occurrence of a three or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $3.0 billion, (ii) first occurrence of a five or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $5.0 billion, (iii) first occurrence of a seven or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $7.0 billion, (iv) first occurrence of a nine or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $9.0 billion and (v) first occurrence of an 11 or fewer consecutive calendar year period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product are greater than $11.0 billion. If, after the Closing, any additional former securityholder of Censa executes and delivers a joinder to the Rights Satisfaction Agreement and becomes a party thereto, we will pay such former securityholder an amount in cash equal to such former securityholder’s applicable pro rata share of the Upfront Consideration (less any Net Sale Payments previously received) and any Additional Milestone Payments that become payable to Participating Rightsholders under the Rights Satisfaction Agreement.
In addition to the Additional Milestone Payments, and pursuant to the terms of the Censa Merger Agreement, we will make payments of $30.0 million for the first occurrence of a four consecutive calendar quarter period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product (as defined in the Censa Merger Agreement) exceed $250.0 million, $50.0 million for the first occurrence of a four consecutive calendar quarter period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product exceed $500.0 million, and $80.0 million for the first occurrence of a four consecutive calendar quarter period in which aggregate Net Sales of Product exceed $1.0 billion.
The Rights Satisfaction Agreement has no effect on the Censa Merger Agreement other than to provide for the cancellation and forfeiture of the Participating Rightsholders’ rights to receive the Net Sales Payments described above. As a result, all other rights and obligations under the Censa Merger Agreement remain in effect pursuant to their terms, including, without limitation, our obligation to pay certain contingent payments upon the achievement of certain development and Net Sales of Product milestones.
The Rights Satisfaction Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of us and the Participating Rightsholders and provided for a simultaneous signing and closing.
Global Commercial Footprint
Global DMD Franchise
We have two products, Translarna™ (ataluren) and Emflaza® (deflazacort), for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD, a rare, life-threatening disorder. Translarna has marketing authorization in Russia for the treatment of nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or nmDMD, in patients aged two years and older, and in Brazil for the treatment of nmDMD in ambulatory patients two years and older and for continued treatment of patients that become non-ambulatory, as well as in various other countries. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $59.5 million in net sales of Translarna. We hold worldwide commercialization rights to Translarna for all indications in all territories.
41
Emflaza is approved in the United States for the treatment of DMD in patients two years and older. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $36.4 million in net sales of Emflaza.
We previously had a marketing authorization for Translarna in the European Economic Area, or EEA, which had been subject to annual review and renewal by the European Commission, or EC, following reassessment by the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, of the benefit-risk balance of the authorization. In September 2022, we submitted a Type II variation to the EMA to support conversion of the conditional marketing authorization for Translarna to a standard marketing authorization, which included a report on the placebo-controlled trial of Study 041 and data from the open-label extension as further described below. Study 041 was an 18-month, placebo-controlled trial, followed by an 18-month open-label extension of Translarna in the treatment of ambulatory patients with nmDMD aged five years or older. In February 2023, we also submitted an annual marketing authorization renewal request to the EMA. In September 2023, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, gave a negative opinion on the conversion of the conditional marketing authorization to full marketing authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD and a negative opinion on the renewal of the existing conditional marketing authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. In January 2024, the CHMP issued a negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization following a re-examination procedure. In May 2024, the EC decided not to adopt the CHMP’s negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization of Translarna and returned such opinion to the CHMP for re-evaluation. In June 2024, following the EC’s request for re-review, the CHMP issued a negative opinion on the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. In October 2024, the CHMP maintained its negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization following the requested reexamination procedure. In March 2025, the EC adopted the opinion of the CHMP to not renew the authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. However, the EC indicated that individual countries within the European Union, or EU, can leverage Articles 117(3) and 5(1) of the EU Directive 2001/83 to allow continued commercial use of Translarna. There is a substantial risk that as a result of the EC’s adoption of the CHMP’s negative opinion we will lose a significant portion of our ability to generate revenue from sales of Translarna in the EEA.
Translarna is an investigational new drug in the United States. During the first quarter of 2017, we filed a New Drug Application, or NDA, for Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD over protest with the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. In October 2017, the Office of Drug Evaluation I of the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, for the NDA, stating that it was unable to approve the application in its current form. In response, we filed a formal dispute resolution request with the Office of New Drugs of the FDA. In February 2018, the Office of New Drugs of the FDA denied our appeal of the CRL. In its response, the Office of New Drugs recommended a possible path forward for the ataluren NDA submission based on the accelerated approval pathway. This would involve a resubmission of an NDA containing the current data on effectiveness of ataluren with new data to be generated on dystrophin production in nmDMD patients’ muscles. We followed the FDA’s recommendation and collected, using newer technologies via procedures and methods that we designed, such dystrophin data in a new study, Study 045, and announced the results of Study 045 in February 2021. Study 045 did not meet its pre-specified primary endpoint. In June 2022, we announced top-line results from the placebo-controlled trial of Study 041. Following this announcement, we submitted a meeting request to the FDA to gain clarity on the regulatory pathway for a potential resubmission of an NDA for Translarna. The FDA provided initial written feedback that Study 041 does not provide substantial evidence of effectiveness to support an NDA resubmission. We held a Type C meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 to discuss the totality of Translarna data. Based on feedback from the FDA, we resubmitted the NDA in July 2024, based on the results from Study 041 and from our international drug registry study for nmDMD patients receiving Translarna. In October 2024, the FDA accepted for review the resubmission of the NDA for Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. As this was an NDA resubmission following a complete response letter to the NDA which was filed over protest in 2016, the FDA is not obligated to follow the review timelines under Prescription Drug User Fee Act guidelines and an action date has not been provided.
We have previously relied on Emflaza’s seven-year marketing exclusivity period in the United States for its approved indications under the provisions of the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, or the Orphan Drug Act, when commercializing Emflaza. Emflaza’s seven-year period of orphan drug exclusivity related to the treatment of DMD in patients five years and older expired in February 2024. We expect the expiration of this orphan drug exclusivity to potentially have a significant negative impact on Emflaza net product revenue. Emflaza’s orphan drug exclusivity related to the treatment of DMD in patients two years of age to less than five expires in June 2026.

Upstaza™ (eladocagene exuparvovec) / Kebilidi™ (eladocagene exuparvovec-tneq)
Upstaza/Kebilidi is a gene therapy for the treatment of Aromatic L Amino Acid Decarboxylase, or AADC, deficiency, a rare central nervous system, or CNS, disorder arising from reductions in the enzyme AADC that results from mutations in the dopa decarboxylase gene. In July 2022, the EC approved Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency for patients 18 months and older within the EEA. In November 2022, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approved Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency for patients 18 months and older within the United Kingdom. In November 2024, the FDA granted accelerated approval of our gene therapy for the treatment of children and adults with AADC deficiency, which is marketed with the brand name Kebilidi in the United States.
Tegsedi® (inotersen) and Waylivra™ (volanesorsen)
We hold the rights for the commercialization of Tegsedi and Waylivra for the treatment of rare diseases in countries in Latin America and the Caribbean pursuant to a Collaboration and License Agreement, or the Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement, dated August 1, 2018, by and between us and Akcea Therapeutics, Inc., or Akcea, a subsidiary of Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Tegsedi has received marketing authorization in the United States, European Union, or EU, and Brazil for the treatment of stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy in adult patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, or hATTR amyloidosis. In August 2021, ANVISA, the Brazilian health regulatory authority, approved Waylivra as the first treatment for familial chylomicronemia syndrome, or FCS, in Brazil. In December 2022, ANVISA approved Waylivra for the treatment of familial partial lipodystrophy, or FPL. Waylivra has also received marketing authorization in the EU for the treatment of FCS.
Evrysdi® (risdiplam)
We also have a spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA, collaboration with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffman La Roche Inc., which we refer to collectively as Roche, and the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation, or SMA Foundation. The SMA program has one approved product, Evrysdi (risdiplam), which was approved by the FDA in August 2020 for the treatment of SMA in adults and children two months and older and by the EC in March 2021 for the treatment of 5q SMA in patients two months and older with a clinical diagnosis of SMA Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 or with one to four SMN2 copies. Evrysdi also received marketing authorization for the treatment of SMA in over 100 countries. In May 2022, the FDA approved a label expansion for Evrysdi to include infants under two months old with SMA. In August 2023, the EC approved an extension of the Evrysdi marketing authorization to include infants under two months old in the EU.
Diversified Development Pipeline
Splicing Platform
In addition to our SMA program, our splicing platform also includes votoplam (PTC518), which is being developed for the treatment of Huntington’s disease, or HD. We announced the results from our Phase 1 study of votoplam in healthy volunteers in September 2021 demonstrating dose-dependent lowering of huntingtin messenger ribonucleic acid and protein levels, that votoplam efficiently crosses blood brain barrier at significant levels and that votoplam was well tolerated. We initiated a Phase 2 study of votoplam for the treatment of HD in the first quarter of 2022, which consists of an initial 12-week placebo-controlled phase focused on safety, pharmacology and pharmacodynamic effects followed by a nine-month placebo-controlled phase focused on votoplam biomarker effect. In June 2024, we announced interim results from the full Phase 2 study of votoplam. At month 12, votoplam treatment demonstrated durable dose-dependent lowering of mHTT protein in the blood and dose-dependent lowering of mHTT protein in the cerebrospinal fluid in the interim cohort of stage 2 patients. In addition, favorable trends were demonstrated on several relevant HD clinical assessments. Furthermore, following 12 months of treatment, votoplam continued to be well tolerated. In September 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to the votoplam program for the treatment of HD. In December 2024, we held a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss whether huntingtin protein lowering could be considered a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval of votoplam. The FDA was aligned on the scientific rationale and asked to see additional data supportive of an association between huntingtin protein lowering and changes in clinical outcome scores. In May 2025, we announced that the Phase 2 study of votoplam met its primary endpoints of blood HTT lowering and safety. The results on the full study population are consistent with the previously reported evidence of dose-dependent HTT lowering,
43
favorable safety profile and early signals of dose-dependent clinical effect at 12 months in Stage 2 patients. In addition, at 24 months of treatment, there were continued trends of dose-dependent favorable clinical effect relative to a propensity-matched natural history cohort as well as dose-dependent NfL lowering. In November 2024, we entered into the License and Collaboration Agreement, or the Novartis Agreement, with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, or Novartis, relating to our votoplam program. This transaction closed in January 2025. Pursuant to the Novartis Agreement, we are responsible for completing the ongoing Phase 2A clinical trial and continuing the ongoing open label extension, or OLE, clinical trial pursuant to its existing development plan, with the goal of transitioning the ongoing OLE clinical trial to Novartis within 12 months after the effective date of the Novartis Agreement. Novartis will be responsible for all other development of licensed compounds and licensed products and the manufacture and commercialization of licensed compounds and licensed products worldwide. We continue to collaborate with Novartis on next steps and aim to meet with FDA in the fourth quarter of 2025 to discuss Phase 3 clinical trial design and potential accelerated approval pathway.
Inflammation and Ferroptosis Platform
Our inflammation and ferroptosis platform consists of small molecule compounds that target oxidoreductase enzymes that regulate oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways central to the pathology of a number of CNS diseases. The most advanced molecule in our inflammation and ferroptosis platform is vatiquinone. We announced topline results from a registration-directed Phase 3 trial of vatiquinone in children and young adults with Friedreich’s Ataxia, called MOVE-FA, in May 2023. While the study did not meet its primary endpoint of statistically significant change in modified Friedreich Ataxia Rating Scale, or mFARS, score at 72 weeks in the primary analysis population, vatiquinone treatment did demonstrate significant benefit on key disease subscales and secondary endpoints. In addition, in the population of subjects that completed the study protocol, significance was reached in the mFARS endpoint and several secondary endpoints, including the upright stability subscale. Furthermore, vatiquinone was well tolerated. In October 2024, we announced that the pre-specified endpoint for two different FA long-term extension studies was met, with statistically significant evidence of durable treatment benefit on disease progression. In December 2024, we submitted an NDA to the FDA for vatiquinone for the treatment of children and adults living with FA. In February 2025, the FDA accepted for filing the NDA and granted priority review with a target regulatory action date of August 19, 2025.
Multi-Platform Discovery
In addition, we have a pipeline of product candidates and discovery programs that are in early clinical, pre-clinical and research and development stages focused on the development of new treatments for multiple therapeutic areas for rare diseases.
Funding
The success of our products and any other product candidates we may develop depends largely on obtaining and maintaining reimbursement from governments and third-party insurers. Our revenues are primarily generated from sales of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in countries where we were able to obtain acceptable commercial pricing and reimbursement terms and in select countries where we are permitted to distribute Translarna under our early access programs, or EAP, programs or through similar styled programs, and from sales of Emflaza for the treatment of DMD in the United States. We also generate revenue from sales of Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the EEA, we have recognized revenue associated with milestone and royalty payments from Roche pursuant to a License and Collaboration Agreement, or the SMA License Agreement, by and among us, Roche and, for the limited purposes set forth therein, the SMA Foundation, under our SMA program and we have recognized license revenues related to performance obligations already completed pursuant to the Novartis Agreement.
We have financed our operations to date primarily through the private offerings of convertible senior notes, public and “at the market offerings” of common stock, proceeds from royalty purchase agreements, private placements of our convertible preferred stock and common stock, collaborations, bank and institutional lender debt, other convertible debt, grant funding and clinical trial support from governmental and philanthropic organizations and patient advocacy groups in the disease area addressed by our product candidates. We have relied on revenue generated from net sales of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in territories outside of the United States since 2014, Emflaza for the treatment of DMD in the United States since 2017 and Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the EEA since 2022. We have also relied
on revenue associated with milestone and royalty payments from Roche pursuant to the SMA License Agreement under our SMA program, revenue generated from net sales of Tegsedi and Waylivra in Latin America and the Caribbean, and license revenues related to performance obligations already completed pursuant to the Novartis Agreement.
In June 2024, we entered into an amendment with Royalty Pharma Investments 2019 ICAV, or Royalty Pharma, and Royalty Pharma plc, to the Amended and Restated Royalty Purchase Agreement, dated October 18, 2023, or the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement, which amends and restated in its entirety the Royalty Purchase Agreement by and among us, RPI Intermediate Finance Trust, and for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Royalty Pharma plc, dated as of July 17, 2020, or the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement, and we exercised our first put option in exchange for $241.8 million in cash consideration. To date, Royalty Pharma has paid to us cash consideration of $1.9 billion (less payments on our right to receive sales-based royalty payments, or the Royalty, on worldwide net sales of Evrysdi and any other product in development pursuant to the SMA License Agreement received by us with respect to assigned Royalties, or the Assigned Royalty Rights) in exchange for 90.49% of the Royalty, which will be reduced to 83.33% after Royalty Pharma receives $1.3 billion in aggregate payments, or the Assigned Royalty Cap, from the Royalty assigned under the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement. We currently retain 9.51% of the Royalty, which increases to 16.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met. We have the option to sell our retained portions of the Royalty to Royalty Pharma in up to three tranches for the following payments: (1) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, (2) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, and (3) $50.0 million in exchange for 1.90% of the Royalty, which increases to 3.33% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, in each case less Royalty payments received by us with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights.
In November 2024, we entered into the Novartis Agreement relating to our votoplam HD program which includes related molecules. Pursuant to the Novartis Agreement, we are responsible for completing the ongoing Phase 2A clinical trial and continuing the ongoing OLE clinical trial pursuant to its existing development plan, with the goal of transitioning the ongoing OLE clinical trial to Novartis within 12 months after the effective date. Novartis will be responsible for all other development of licensed compounds and licensed products and the manufacture and commercialization of licensed compounds and licensed products worldwide. Under the Novartis Agreement, and upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Novartis Agreement in January 2025, we received an upfront payment of $1.0 billion on the effective date and can receive up to $1.9 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, a 40% share of U.S. profits and losses, and tiered double-digit royalties on ex-U.S. sales.
In August 2019, we entered into an At the Market Offering Sales Agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with Cantor Fitzgerald and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, or together, the Sales Agents, pursuant to which, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million from time to time through the Sales Agents by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not issue or sell any shares of common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The remaining shares of our common stock available to be issued and sold, under the Sales Agreement, have an aggregate offering price of up to $93.0 million as of June 30, 2025.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,845.2 million. We had a net income of $801.7 million and a net loss of $190.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant expenses in connection with our commercialization efforts in the United States, the EEA, Latin America and other territories, including expenses related to our commercial infrastructure and corresponding sales and marketing, legal and regulatory, and distribution and manufacturing undertakings as well as administrative and employee-based expenses. In addition to the foregoing, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in connection with ongoing, planned and potential future clinical trials and studies for our splicing and inflammation and ferroptosis programs as well as studies in our products for maintaining authorizations, label extensions and additional indications. We continue to seek marketing authorization for Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in territories in which we do not currently have marketing authorization. We have submitted an NDA to the FDA for vatiquinione for the treatment of FA in the fourth quarter of 2024. These efforts may significantly impact the timing and extent of our commercialization and manufacturing expenses.
45
We may seek to expand and diversify our product pipeline through opportunistically in-licensing or acquiring the rights to products, product candidates or technologies and we may incur expenses, including with respect to transaction costs, subsequent development costs or any upfront, milestone or other payments or other financial obligations associated with any such transaction, which would increase our future capital requirements.
With respect to our outstanding 1.50% convertible senior notes due September 15, 2026, or the 2026 Convertible Notes,
cash interest payments are payable on a semi-annual basis in arrears, which will require total funding of $4.3 million
annually.
We expect to make payments to the former Censa Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Censa, securityholders of $25.0 million in the aggregate in cash for the marketing authorization granted by the EC for Sephience for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU in the EEA, and $32.5 million in the aggregate in cash for the approval by the FDA of Sephience for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients living with PKU in the United States, pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement.
Upon the potential achievement in 2025 of certain regulatory milestones relating to vatiquinone, which milestones would be payable in 2026, we expect to make payments to BioElectron Technology Corporation, or BioElectron, of $75.0 million in the aggregate, in cash or shares of our common stock, as determined by us, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and between the Company and BioElectron, dated October 1, 2019, or the BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement.
We also have certain significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments that require funding and we have disclosed these items under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Funding Obligations” in our 2024 Annual Report. There were no material changes to these obligations and commitments during the period ended June 30, 2025. Furthermore, since we are a public company, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as such including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses.
We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and sustain profitability, and we may never do so. Accordingly, we may need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or our commercialization efforts.
Financial operations overview
Revenues
Net product revenues. To date, our net product revenues have consisted primarily of sales of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in territories outside of the United States and sales of Emflaza for the treatment of DMD in the United States. We recognize revenue when performance obligations with customers have been satisfied and if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. Our performance obligations are to provide products based on customer orders from distributors, hospitals, specialty pharmacies or retail pharmacies. The performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when our customer obtains control of the product, which is typically upon delivery. We invoice customers after the products have been delivered and invoice payments are generally due within 30 to 90 days of invoice date. We determine the transaction price based on fixed consideration in its contractual agreements. Contract liabilities arise in certain circumstances when consideration is due for goods not yet provided. As we have identified only one distinct performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated entirely to the product sale. In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when we deliver product to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. Customers in certain countries pay in advance of product delivery. In those instances, payment and delivery typically occur in the same month.
We record product sales net of any variable consideration, which includes discounts, allowances, rebates related to Medicaid and other government pricing programs, and distribution fees. We use the expected value or most likely amount method when estimating variable consideration, unless discount or rebate terms are specified within contracts. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from product sales are

recognized. These estimates for variable consideration are adjusted to reflect known changes in factors and may impact such estimates in the quarter those changes are known. Revenue recognized does not include amounts of variable consideration that are constrained.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, three of our distributors each accounted for over 10% of our net product sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, two of our distributors each accounted for over 10% of our net product sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, two of our distributors each accounted for over 10% of our net product sales.
In relation to customer contracts, we incur costs to fulfill a contract but do not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. We consider any shipping and handling costs that are incurred after the customer has obtained control of the product as a cost to fulfill a promise. Shipping and handling costs associated with finished goods delivered to customers are recorded as a selling expense.
Roche and the SMA Foundation Collaboration. In November 2011, we entered into the SMA License Agreement pursuant to which we are collaborating with Roche and the SMA Foundation to further develop and commercialize compounds identified under our SMA program with the SMA Foundation. The research component of this agreement terminated effective December 31, 2014. We are eligible to receive additional payments from Roche if specified events are achieved with respect to each licensed product, including up to $135.0 million in research and development event milestones, up to $325.0 million in sales milestones upon achievement of specified sales events, and up to double digit royalties on worldwide annual net sales of a commercial product. As of June 30, 2025, we had recognized a total of $310.0 million in
47
milestone payments and $639.6 million royalties on net sales pursuant to the SMA License Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, there are no remaining research and development event milestones that we can receive. The remaining potential sales milestones as of June 30, 2025 are $150.0 million upon achievement of certain sales events.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, collaboration revenue related to the SMA License Agreement with Roche was immaterial. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not recognize collaboration revenue related to the SMA License Agreement with Roche.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $57.6 million and $94.0 million of royalty revenue, respectively, related to Evrysdi. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $53.2 million and $84.3 million of royalty revenue, respectively, related to Evrysdi.
Novartis Collaboration for votoplam HD. In November 2024, we entered into the Novartis Agreement with Novartis related to our votoplam HD program. Upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Novartis Agreement in January 2025, we received an upfront payment of $1.0 billion on the effective date and can receive up to $1.9 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, a 40% share of U.S. profits and losses, and tiered double-digit royalties on ex-U.S. sales
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $2.9 million and $992.7 million, respectively, in license revenues related to performance obligations for Novartis already completed. The remaining $7.3 million is recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and will be recognized over time as the work related to the OLE clinical trial is performed. Collaboration and license revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was partially offset by $3.5 million related to a refund for a prior collaboration arrangement in relation to votoplam.
Pursuant to the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement, Royalty Pharma has paid to us aggregate cash consideration of $1.9 billion (less Royalty payments received by us with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights) in exchange for 90.49% of the Royalty, which will be reduced to 83.33% of the Royalty after Royalty Pharma receives $1.3 billion in aggregate payments from the Royalty assigned at the closing of the Original Purchase Agreement. We currently retain 9.51% of the Royalty, which increases to 16.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, and all economic rights to receive the remaining potential regulatory and sales milestone payments under the SMA License Agreement.
We have the option to sell our retained portions of the Royalty to Royalty Pharma in up to three tranches for the following payments: (1) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, (2) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, and (3) $50.0 million in exchange for 1.90% of the Royalty, which increases to 3.33% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, in each case less Royalty payments received by us with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and capital resources—Sources of liquidity” for additional information.
Research and development expense
Research and development expenses consist of the costs associated with our research activities, as well as the costs associated with our drug discovery efforts, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings. Our research and development expenses consist of:
48
We use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research projects, including our drug development programs. We track expenses related to our clinical programs and certain preclinical programs on a per project basis.
We expect our research and development expenses to fluctuate in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly in connection with our activities under our splicing and inflammation and ferroptosis programs and performance of our post-marketing requirements imposed by regulatory agencies with respect to our products. The timing and amount of these expenses will depend upon the outcome of our ongoing clinical trials and the costs associated with our planned clinical trials. The timing and amount of these expenses will also depend on the costs associated with potential future clinical trials of our products or product candidates and the related expansion of our research and development organization, regulatory requirements, advancement of our preclinical programs, and product candidate manufacturing costs.
The following tables provides research and development expense for our most advanced principal product development programs, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Development. Consists of costs incurred for product candidates following initiation of a clinical trial.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the changes reflect progressing through different phases of studies as we continue to focus our resources on our differentiated, high potential research and development programs.
Research. Consists of costs incurred for product candidates before initiation of a clinical trial.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in research expenses primarily reflected our continued focus of our resources on product candidates approaching approval during the current year periods.
Milestones. Consists of development and regulatory milestone expenses incurred in connection with our collaborative arrangements.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in milestone expenses related to the achievement of a $15.0 million success-based regulatory milestone for the validation and acceptance of a marketing authorization application for sepiapterin for PKU in May 2024.
49
Payroll, benefits, and share-based stock compensation. Consists of costs incurred for salaries and wages, bonus, payroll taxes, benefits and share-based stock compensation associated with employees involved in research and development activities. Share-based stock compensation may fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the change in payroll, benefits, and share-based stock compensation expenses was relatively flat.
Facilities and other. Consists of indirect costs incurred for the benefit of multiple programs, including information technology, and other facility-based expenses, such as rent expense.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in facilities and other expenses primarily related to decreases in facility-based expenses at our facility in Hopewell Township, New Jersey as a result of an amendment and restatement of our lease for such facility in June 2024 and at our facility in Warren, New Jersey as a result of an amendment to our lease for such facility in December 2024.
The successful development of our products and product candidates is highly uncertain. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of:
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our products or product candidates could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of those products or product candidates. For example, if the EMA or FDA or other regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those which we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development of any of our products or product candidates or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for personnel, including share-based compensation expenses, in our executive, legal, business development, commercial, finance, accounting, information technology and human resource functions. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development expense; advertising and promotional expenses; costs associated with industry and trade shows; and professional fees for legal services, including patent-related expenses, accounting services and miscellaneous selling costs.
We expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods in connection with our continued efforts to commercialize our products, including increased payroll, expanded infrastructure, commercial operations, increased consulting, legal, accounting and investor relations expenses.
50
Interest expense, net consists of interest expense from the liability for the sale of future royalties related to the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement and the 2026 Convertible Notes outstanding, offset by interest income earned on investments.
Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies as reported in our 2024 Annual Report.

Net product revenue. Net product revenue was $118.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $14.9 million, or 11%, from $133.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net product revenue was primarily due to a decrease in net product sales of Emflaza and Translarna. Emflaza net product revenue was $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 23%, compared to $47.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These results were driven by additional generic competition. Translarna net product revenues were $59.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 15%, compared to $70.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These results were primarily due to the EC’s adoption of the CHMP’s negative opinion.
Collaboration and license revenue. Collaboration and license revenue was $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.9 million, or 100%, from $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in collaboration and license revenue was due to the receipt of the $1.0 billion upfront payment upon the effective
51
date of the license and collaboration agreement with Novartis related to our votoplam HD program. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $2.9 million related to license revenue from the Novartis Agreement for performance obligations completed during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we did not recognize any collaboration or license revenue.
Royalty revenue. Royalty revenue was $57.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $4.4 million, or 8%, from $53.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in royalty revenue was due to higher Evrysdi sales in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. In accordance with the SMA License Agreement, we are entitled to royalties on worldwide annual net sales of the product.
Manufacturing revenue. Manufacturing revenue was $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 100%, from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to the prior completion of all manufacturing services related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. In June 2024, we sold our gene therapy manufacturing business in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. Accordingly, we do not expect to have manufacturing revenue going forward.
Cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets. Cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets was $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 26%, from $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets consisted primarily of royalty payments associated with Emflaza, Translarna, and Upstaza net product sales, costs associated with Emflaza, Translarna, and Upstaza products sold during the period, and inventory reserves. The decrease in cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, was primarily due to decreases in royalty costs driven by Emflaza as a result of the completion of the royalty agreement with Marathon Pharmaceuticals, LLC (now known as Complete Pharma Holdings, LLC), which was partially offset by costs associated with the Novartis Agreement.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.2 million, or 42%, from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These amounts are related to the Waylivra, Tegsedi, Upstaza/Kebilidi, and Sephience intangible assets, which are all being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization increase was driven by multiple approvals during the year ended 2024 related to PTC-AADC. In October 2024, we received regulatory approval for Upstaza in Brazil, and in November 2024, the BLA for our gene therapy treatments of AADC deficiency was approved by the FDA, marketed under the brand name Kebilidi. With these approvals, $10.7 million and $17.4 million for Kebilidi and Upstaza, respectively, was reclassed from the PTC-AADC indefinite lived intangible asset to definite lived intangible assets. We will amortize these allocated balances of $10.7 million and $17.4 million over their expected useful lives of 12 years on a straight-line basis. In June 2025, the EC granted marketing authorization to Sephience for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU in the EEA, which triggered a $25.0 million milestone to the former Censa securityholders. The milestone was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized to cost of product sales over its expected useful life on a straight-line basis.
Research and development expense. Research and development expense was $113.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $19.2 million, or 15%, from $132.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses primarily related to a $15.0 million regulatory success-based milestone payable to the former Censa securityholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $85.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $15.8 million, or 23%, from $69.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase reflected our continued investment to support our commercial activities including our expanding commercial portfolio.
Change in the fair value of contingent consideration. The change in the fair value of contingent consideration was $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a change of $5.1 million, or 100%, from a loss of $5.1 million for the
52
three months ended June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the probability of triggering the remaining contingent consideration was determined to be remote, and therefore the balance was written down to zero.
Tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net. Tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 94%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily related to the loss on sale of $4.2 million of certain assets related to gene therapy manufacturing and $0.2 million of fixed asset impairments during the three months ended June 30, 2024. These amounts were partially offset by a gain of $2.2 million on lease terminations and a $0.4 million gain on sales of fixed assets during the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $0.1 million related to fixed asset impairments.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $30.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $13.1 million, or 30%, from $43.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense, net was directly related to the increase in marketable securities – available for sale, resulting in investment income on our marketable securities – available for sale of $18.4 million and $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net was $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $3.7 million, or over 100%, from other expense, net of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in other expense, net primarily relates to net realized and unrealized losses from foreign currency of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net unrealized losses of $3.4 million from our ClearPoint Neuro. Inc. debt and equity investments, offset by a net realized and unrealized gain from foreign currency of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax benefit was $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a change of $19.6 million, or over 100%, compared to income tax expense of $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change in income tax benefit (expense) was driven by the projected utilization of additional tax attributes in 2025.

Net product revenue. Net product revenue was $271.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $39.1 million, or 13%, from $310.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net product revenue was primarily due to a decrease in net product sales of Emflaza and Translarna. Emflaza net product revenue was $84.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $20.7 million, or 20%, compared to $104.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These results were driven by additional generic competition. Translarna net product revenues were $145.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $28.3 million, or 16%, compared to $173.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These results were primarily due to the EC’s adoption of the CHMP’s negative opinion.
Collaboration and license revenue. Collaboration and license revenue was $989.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $989.2 million, or 100%, from $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in collaboration and license revenue was due to the receipt of the $1.0 billion upfront payment upon the effective date of the license and collaboration agreement with Novartis related to our votoplam HD program. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $992.7 million related to license revenue from the Novartis Agreement which was partially offset by $3.5 million related to a refund for a prior collaboration arrangement in relation to votoplam. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not recognize any collaboration or license revenue.
Royalty revenue. Royalty revenue was $94.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $9.7 million, or 12%, from $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in royalty revenue was due to higher Evrysdi sales in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. In accordance with the SMA License Agreement, we are entitled to royalties on worldwide annual net sales of the product.
Manufacturing revenue. Manufacturing revenue was $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 100%, from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to the prior completion of all manufacturing services related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. In June 2024, we sold our gene therapy manufacturing business in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. Accordingly, we do not expect to have manufacturing revenue going forward.
Cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets. Cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets was $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 20%, from $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets consisted primarily of royalty payments associated with Emflaza, Translarna, and Upstaza net product sales, costs associated with Emflaza, Translarna, and Upstaza products sold during the period, and inventory reserves. The decrease in cost of product, collaboration and license sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, was primarily due to decreases in royalty costs driven by Emflaza as a result of the completion of the royalty agreement with Marathon Pharmaceuticals, LLC (now known as Complete Pharma Holdings, LLC), which was partially offset by costs associated with the Novartis Agreement.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $46.5 million, or 86%, from $54.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These amounts are related to the Emflaza rights acquisition, as well as the Waylivra, Tegsedi, Upstaza/Kebilidi, and Sephience intangible assets, which are all being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization decrease was driven by the Emflaza rights intangible asset being fully amortized as of February 2024. As a result, there is no further amortization for Emflaza as of February 2024.
Research and development expense. Research and development expense was $222.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $26.3 million, or 11%, from $248.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses related to decreases in program spend as we continued to focus our resources on our differentiated, high potential research and development programs. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expense also includes a $15.0 million regulatory success-based milestone paid to the former Censa securityholders.
54
Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $166.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $23.5 million, or 16%, from $142.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase reflected our continued investment to support our commercial activities including our expanding commercial portfolio.
Change in the fair value of contingent consideration. The change in the fair value of contingent consideration was a gain of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a change of $5.8 million, or over 100%, from a loss of $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the probability of triggering the remaining contingent consideration was determined to be remote, and therefore the balance was written down to zero.
Tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net. Tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 90%, from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily related to the loss on sale of $4.2 million of certain assets related to gene therapy manufacturing and $0.2 million of fixed asset impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2024. These amounts were partially offset by a gain of $2.2 million on lease terminations and a $0.4 million gain on sales of fixed assets during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $0.1 million related to fixed asset impairments and $0.1 million related to losses on the sale of fixed assets.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $64.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $19.9 million, or 24%, from $84.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense, net was directly related to the increase in investments on our marketable securities – available for sale, resulting in investment income on our marketable securities – available for sale of $32.5 million and $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net was $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $11.6 million, or over 100%, from other expense, net of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in other expense, net, primarily relates to net realized and unrealized losses from foreign currency of $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net realized and unrealized gains from foreign currency of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $36.7 million, or over 100%, compared to income tax expense of $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax expense was attributable to the recognition of the revenue associated with the Novartis Agreement in 2025. Additionally, we incur income tax expenses in various foreign jurisdictions, and our foreign tax liabilities are largely dependent upon the distribution of pre-tax earnings among these different jurisdictions.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources of liquidity
While we have generated net income in the six months ended June 30, 2025, we have historically incurred significant operating losses.
As a growing commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, we are engaging in significant commercialization efforts for our products while also devoting a substantial portion of our efforts on research and development related to our products, product candidates and other programs. To date, our product revenue has primarily consisted of sales of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in territories outside of the United States and from Emflaza for the treatment of DMD in the United States. Our ongoing ability to generate revenue from sales of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD is dependent upon our ability to maintain our marketing authorizations in Brazil and Russia and secure market access through commercial programs following the conclusion of pricing and reimbursement terms at sustainable levels in the member states of the EEA or through EAP programs or similar styled programs in the EEA and other territories. In March 2025, the EC adopted the opinion of the CHMP to not renew the authorization of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD. However, the EC indicated that individual countries within the EU can leverage Articles 117(3) and 5(1) of the EU Directive 2001/83 to allow continued use of Translarna. Our ability to generate product revenue from Emflaza will largely depend on the

coverage and reimbursement levels set by governmental authorities, private health insurers and other third-party payors. Additionally, Emflaza’s seven-year period of orphan drug exclusivity related to the treatment of DMD in patients five years and older expired in February 2024. We have previously relied on this exclusivity period to commercialize Emflaza in the United States. We expect the expiration of this orphan drug exclusivity to potentially have a significant negative impact on Emflaza net product revenue. Emflaza’s orphan drug exclusivity related to the treatment of DMD in patients two years of age to less than five expires in June 2026.
We have financed our operations to date primarily through the private offerings of convertible senior notes, public offerings and “at the market offerings” of common stock, proceeds from royalty purchase agreements, private placements of our preferred stock and common stock, collaborations, bank and institutional lender debt, other convertible debt, grant funding and clinical trial support from governmental and philanthropic organizations and patient advocacy groups in the disease areas addressed by our product candidates. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for at least the next fiscal year. The net income and losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
In August 2019, we entered into the Sales Agreement, pursuant to which, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million from time to time through the Sales Agents by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Corporate Updates—Funding” for additional information.
In September 2019, we closed a private offering of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes, which included an option to purchase up to an additional $37.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes, which was fully exercised by the initial purchasers. The 2026 Convertible Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 1.50% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2020. The 2026 Convertible Notes will mature on September 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or converted. We received net proceeds of $279.3 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the offering expenses payable by us.
We have received fundings from Royalty Pharma under the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement in July 2020, October 2023 and June 2024 totaling $1.9 billion (less Royalty payments received by us with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights). In exchange for these fundings, we sold Royalty Pharma 90.49% of the Royalty, which will be reduced to 83.33% after Royalty Pharma receives the Assigned Royalty Cap from the Royalty assigned under the Original Royalty Purchase Agreement. We currently retain 9.51% of the Royalty, which increases to 16.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met. We have the option to sell our retained portions of the Royalty to Royalty Pharma in up to three tranches for the following payments: (1) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, (2) $100.0 million in exchange for 3.81% of the Royalty, which increases to 6.67% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, and (3) $50.0 million in exchange for 1.90% of the Royalty, which increases to 3.33% after the Assigned Royalty Cap has been met, in each case less Royalty payments received by us with respect to the Assigned Royalty Rights.
In November 2024, we and Novartis entered into the Novartis Agreement relating to our votoplam HD program which includes related molecules. Pursuant to the Novartis Agreement, we are responsible for completing the ongoing Phase 2A clinical trial and continuing the ongoing OLE clinical trial pursuant to its existing development plan, with the goal of transitioning the ongoing OLE clinical trial to Novartis within 12 months after the effective date. Novartis will be responsible for all other development of licensed compounds and licensed products and the manufacture and commercialization of licensed compounds and licensed products worldwide. Under the Novartis Agreement, and upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Novartis Agreement in January 2025, we received an upfront payment of $1.0 billion on the effective date and can receive up to $1.9 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, a 40% share of U.S. profits and losses, and tiered double-digit royalties on ex-U.S. sales.
Cash flows
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.99 billion.
56
The following table provides information regarding our cash flows and our capital expenditures for the periods indicated.
Cash provided (used in) by:
Operating activities
Investing activities
Financing activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $811.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily related to the upfront payment of $1.0 billion in cash received upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Novartis Agreement in January 2025, partially offset by spend supporting clinical development and commercial activities. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to spend supporting clinical development and commercial activities, partially offset by the cash received from the sales milestone of $100.0 million for the achievement of $1.5 billion in worldwide net sales from Evrysdi.
Net cash used in investing activities was $606.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $180.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, were primarily related to the acquisition of product rights, purchases of marketable securities, and purchases of fixed assets, partially offset by net sales and redemption of marketable securities and proceeds from sale of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $247.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan and proceeds from the exercise of options, partially offset by payments on contingent consideration obligation. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to proceeds from sales of future royalties, proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan, and proceeds from the exercise of options, partially offset by payments on our finance lease principal.
Funding requirements
We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant expenses in connection with our commercialization efforts in the United States, the EEA, Latin America and other territories, including expenses related to our commercial infrastructure and corresponding sales and marketing, legal and regulatory, and distribution and manufacturing undertakings as well as administrative and employee-based expenses. In addition to the foregoing, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in connection with ongoing, planned and potential future clinical trials and studies for our splicing and inflammation and ferroptosis programs as well as studies in our products for maintaining authorizations, label extensions and additional indications. We continue to seek marketing authorization for Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in territories that we do not currently have marketing authorization in. We submitted an NDA to the FDA for vatiquinone for the treatment of FA in December 2024. These efforts may significantly impact the timing and extent of our commercialization and manufacturing expenses.
In addition, our expenses will increase if and as we:
57
We believe that our cash flows from product sales, together with existing cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
58
With respect to our outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes, cash interest payments are payable on a semi-annual basis in arrears, which will require total funding of $4.3 million annually.
We expect to make payments to the former Censa securityholders of $25 million in the aggregate in cash for the marketing authorization granted by the EC for Sephience for the treatment of children and adults living with PKU, and $32.5 million in the aggregate in cash for approval by the FDA of Sephience for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients living with PKU in the United States, pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement.
Upon the potential achievement in 2025 of certain regulatory milestones relating to vatiquinone, which milestones would be payable in 2026, we expect to make payments to BioElectron of $75.0 million in the aggregate, in cash or shares of our common stock, as determined by us, pursuant to the BioElectron Asset Purchase Agreement.
We also have certain significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments that require funding and we have disclosed these items under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
59
Operations-Funding Obligations” in our 2024 Annual Report. There were no material changes to these obligations and commitments during the period ended June 30, 2025.
We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and sustain profitability, and we may never do so. We may need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, grants and clinical trial support from governmental and philanthropic organizations and patient advocacy groups in the disease areas addressed by our product and product candidates and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, our shareholders ownership interests will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity, debt or other financings when needed or on attractive terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
During the period ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes in our market risk or how our market risk is managed, compared to those disclosed under the heading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2024 Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to claims, legal proceedings and disputes, including as a result of patients seeking to participate in our clinical trials or otherwise gain access to our product candidates. We are not currently aware of any material legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is subject.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We have set forth in Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, risk factors relating to our business, our industry, our structure and our common stock. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are referred to such Item 1A for a more complete understanding of risks concerning us. The risk factor disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 is qualified by the additional information that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the updated risk factor disclosure set forth below.
A substantial portion of our commercial sales currently occurs in territories outside of the United States which subjects us to additional business risks that could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.
We commercialize Sephience, Translarna, Upstaza, Tegsedi and Waylivra outside of the United States. We have operations in multiple European countries, Latin America and other territories. We expect that we will continue to expand our international operations in the future, including in emerging growth markets, pending successful completion of the applicable regulatory processes. International operations inherently subject us to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:
For example, the Brazilian Ministry of Health has previously experienced significant administrative delays processing centralized group purchase orders. Almost all of our product revenue for Translarna in Brazil is attributable to such purchase orders. These centralized group purchase order delays have caused, and may continue to cause, fluctuations in our ability to generate revenue in Brazil.
In addition, some countries in which a product candidate is not approved allow patients access to the product candidate through other legal mechanisms, including court intervention or EAP programs, if the product is approved in another jurisdiction. The price that is ultimately approved by governmental authorities in any country pursuant to commercial pricing and reimbursement processes may be significantly lower than the price we are able to charge for sales under such legal mechanisms and we may become obligated to repay such excess amount.
Some of the countries in which our products are available for sale are in emerging markets. Some countries within emerging markets, including those in Latin America, may be especially vulnerable to periods of global or regional financial instability or may have very limited resources to spend on. We also may be required to increase our reliance on third-party agents within less developed markets. In addition, many emerging market countries have currencies that fluctuate substantially and if such currencies devalue and we cannot offset the devaluations, our financial performance within such countries could be adversely affected.
Furthermore, in some countries, including Brazil and Russia, orders for named patient sales may be for multiple months of therapy, which can lead to an unevenness in orders which could result in significant fluctuations in quarterly net product sales. Other factors may also contribute to fluctuations in quarterly net product sales including a product’s availability in any particular territory, government actions, economic pressures, political unrest and other factors. Net product sales are impacted by factors such as the timing of decisions by regulatory authorities and our ability to successfully negotiate favorable pricing and reimbursement processes on a timely basis in the countries in which we have or may obtain regulatory approval, including the United States, EEA and other territories.
Any of these factors may, individually or as a group, have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. As we continue to expand our existing international operations, we may encounter new risks.
Our products or product candidates may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives, which would harm our business.
We may not obtain adequate coverage or reimbursement for our products, or we may be required to sell our products at an unsatisfactory price. In addition, obtaining pricing, coverage and reimbursement approvals can be a time consuming and expensive process. Our business would be materially adversely affected if we do not receive these approvals on a timely basis.
The regulations and practices that govern marketing authorizations, pricing, coverage and reimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Current and future legislation may significantly change the approval requirements in ways that could involve additional costs and cause delays in obtaining approvals. Some countries, including almost all of the member states of the EEA, require approval of the sale (list) price of a drug before it can be marketed. In many countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some ex-U.S. markets, including the European market, prescription pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing authorization for a product in a particular country, but then be subject to price regulations, in some countries at national as well as regional levels, that delay our commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, and negatively impact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investment in one or more products or other product candidates, even following marketing authorization.
Our ability to successfully commercialize our products or product candidates that may receive marketing authorization will depend in large part on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for these products and related treatments will
62
be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers, managed healthcare organizations and other third-party payors and organizations. Government authorities and other third-party payors, such as private health insurers and managed healthcare organizations, decide which medications they will pay for and establish reimbursement conditions and rates. A primary trend in the EU and U.S. healthcare industries and elsewhere is cost containment. Government authorities, including the United States government and state legislatures, and other third-party payors have attempted to control costs by limiting coverage and the amount of reimbursement for particular medications. Prices at which our products are reimbursed can be subject to challenge, reduction or denial by the government and other payers. Increasingly, third-party payors are requiring that drug companies provide them with discounts off the products’ sale (list) prices and are challenging the prices manufacturers charge for medical products. We cannot be sure that coverage will be available for any product or product candidate that we may commercialize and, if coverage is available, the level of reimbursement is also uncertain.
Reimbursement levels may impact the demand for, or the price of, any product or product candidate for which we obtain marketing authorization. Obtaining reimbursement for our products has been and is expected to continue to be, particularly difficult due to price considerations typically associated with drugs that are developed to treat conditions that affect a small population of patients. In addition, third-party payors are likely to impose strict requirements for reimbursement of a higher priced drug, such as prior authorization and the requirement to try other therapies first (i.e., step edits), or high co-payments which can result in patient rejection. Decreases in third-party reimbursement for a product or a decision by a third-party payor to not cover a product could reduce physician usage of the product. If reimbursement is not available or is available only on a limited basis, we may not be able to successfully commercialize any product or product candidate for which we have obtained or may obtain marketing authorization.
There may be significant delays in obtaining coverage for newly approved drugs, and coverage may be more limited than the drug’s approved indications as determined by the applicable regulatory authority. Moreover, eligibility for reimbursement does not imply that any drug will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that covers our costs, including research, development, manufacture, sale and distribution. Interim reimbursement levels for new drugs, if applicable, may also not be sufficient to cover our costs and may not be made permanent, and programs intended to provide patient assistance until coverage is established can be very costly and limited in duration by law. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the drug and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost drugs, and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Further, coverage policies and third-party reimbursement rates may change at any time. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for one or more products for which we receive regulatory approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future.
Net prices for drugs may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs or private payors and by any future relaxation of laws, enforcement policies or administrative determinations with respect to the importation of drugs into the United States from other countries where they may be sold at lower prices.
In the United States, third-party payors include federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and Veterans Health Administration programs; managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Several of the U.S. federal healthcare programs establish ceiling prices or require that drug manufacturers extend discounts or pay rebates to certain programs in order for their products to be covered and reimbursed. For example, the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program requires pharmaceutical manufacturers of covered outpatient drugs to enter into and have in effect a national rebate agreement with the federal government as a condition for coverage of the manufacturer’s covered outpatient drug(s) by state Medicaid programs. The amount of the rebate for each product is based on a statutory formula and may be subject to an additional discount if certain pricing increases more than inflation. State Medicaid programs and Medicaid managed care plans can seek additional “supplemental” rebates from manufacturers in connection with states’ establishment of preferred drug lists. A further requirement for Medicaid coverage is that manufacturers of single source and innovator multiple source drugs enter into a Master agreement and Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, agreement with the Secretary for Veterans Affairs and charge no more than statutory ceiling prices to the Department of Veteran Affairs, the Department of Defense and certain other federal agencies.
Similarly, in order for a covered outpatient drug to receive federal reimbursement under the Medicare Part B and Medicaid programs, the manufacturer must extend discounts on the covered outpatient drug to entities that are enrolled and
63
participating in the 340B drug pricing program, which is a federal program that requires manufacturers to provide discounts to certain statutorily-defined safety-net providers. The 340B discount for each product is calculated based on certain Medicaid Drug Rebate Program metrics that manufacturers are required to report to CMS.
Sephience and Emflaza are also eligible for reimbursement under the Medicare Part D program. Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plans offered by private entities, which will provide coverage of outpatient prescription drugs. Part D prescription drug formularies are required to include drugs within each therapeutic category and class of covered Part D drugs, though not necessarily all the drugs in each category or class. Any negotiated prices for our products covered by a Part D prescription drug plan likely will be lower than the prices we might otherwise obtain, and payment of Medicare Coverage Gap discounts may further reduce realization on Part D drugs. Further, CMS is proposing to relax Part D coverage requirements to give plans more leverage in negotiating their formularies.
With respect to drugs eligible for reimbursement under Medicare Part B, on November 27, 2020, CMS issued an interim final rule implementing a Most Favored Nations payment model under which reimbursement for certain Medicare Part B drugs and biologicals will be based on a price that reflects the lowest per capita Gross Domestic Product-adjusted (GDP-adjusted) price of any non-U.S. member country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with a GDP per capita that is at least sixty percent of the U.S. GDP per capita. This rule now has been rescinded but other measures, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA, have been enacted to address the costs of pharmaceuticals. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 requires manufacturers of selected drugs to negotiate discounted prices with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Failure to reach an agreement can subject manufacturers to an excise tax or withdraw of all drug products from coverage under Medicare and Medicaid. Drug price negotiations and other program implementation measures could potentially be affected by the Executive Order, Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions, issued on January 20, 2025 and/or the anticipated change in leadership at Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the new administration. Such rules and any additional healthcare reform measures could further constrain our business or limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in additional pricing pressures.
In addition, U.S. private health insurers often rely upon Medicare coverage policies and payment limitations in setting their own coverage and reimbursement policies. Any such coverage or payment limitations may result in a similar reduction in payments from non-governmental payors. Payment by private payors is also subject to payor-determined coverage and reimbursement policies that vary considerably and are subject to change without notice. We expect that coverage and reimbursement of Emflaza in the United States will vary from commercial payor to commercial payor. Many commercial payors, such as managed care plans, manage access to prescription drugs partly to control costs to their plans, and may use drug formularies and medical policies to limit their exposure. Exclusion from policies can directly reduce product usage in the payor’s patient population and may negatively impact utilization in other payor plans, as well.
There has been recent negative publicity and increasing legislative and public scrutiny around pharmaceutical drug pricing in the U.S., in particular with respect to orphan drugs and specifically with respect to Emflaza. Moreover, U.S. government authorities and third-party payors are increasingly attempting to limit or regulate drug prices and reimbursement, often with particular focus on orphan drugs. For example, certain drugs with an orphan designation may become subject to price negotiations under the IRA. These dynamics may give rise to heightened attention and potential negative reactions to pricing decisions for Emflaza and products for which we may receive regulatory approval in the future, possibly limiting our ability to generate revenue and attain profitability.
Moreover, in 2017, the U.S. Congress modified and amended certain provisions of the 2010 U.S. healthcare reform legislation (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, known collectively as the Affordable Care Act), which could have an impact on coverage and reimbursement for healthcare items and services covered by the federal and state healthcare programs as well as plans in the private health insurance market. The so-called “individual mandate” was repealed as part of tax reform legislation adopted in December 2017. Legal challenges to the Affordable Care Act continue to arise and there may be future efforts to modify, repeal, or otherwise invalidate all, or certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act. We cannot assure that the Affordable Care Act, as currently enacted or as amended in the future, will not adversely affect our business and financial
64
results and we cannot predict how future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform will affect our business.
Additionally, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, created measures for spending reductions by Congress. Failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to reach required deficit reduction goals triggered the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This legislation resulted in aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect in April 2013 and will remain in effect through 2031. However, pursuant to the CARES Act and subsequent legislation, these Medicare sequester reductions were suspended through the end of March 2022 and from April 2022 through June 2022, a 1% cut was in effect, with the full 2% cut remaining thereafter. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. These new laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding and otherwise affect the prices we may obtain for any of our product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval or the frequency with which any such product candidates is prescribed or used.
In the EU, reference pricing systems and other measures may lead to cost containment and reduced prices with respect to Sephience for the treatment of PKU, Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD, Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency and other product candidates that might receive marketing authorization in the future. Our inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable payment rates from both government-funded and private payors for our product or any of our product candidates that may receive marketing authorization, or a reduction in coverage for payment rates for our product or any such product candidates, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, in the EU, an authorized trader, such as a wholesaler, can purchase a medicine in one EU member state and obtain a license to import the product into another EU member state. This process is called “parallel distribution”. As a result, a purchaser in one EU member state may seek to import Translarna from another EU member state where Translarna is sold at a lower price. This could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth.
Similarly, sales of Sephience, Emflaza or our other products in the United States could also be reduced if they, or products similar to them, are imported into the United States from lower-priced markets, whether legally or illegally. For example, in the United States, prices for pharmaceuticals are generally higher than in the bordering nations of Mexico and Canada. In October 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, and the FDA published a final rule allowing states and other entities to develop a Section 804 Importation Program, or SIP, to import certain prescription drugs from Canada into the United States. Certain states have passed laws allowing for the importation of drugs from Canada with the intent of developing SIPs for review and approval by the FDA. Florida received approval for its SIP from the FDA. Further, on November 20, 2020, HHS finalized a regulation removing safe harbor protection for price reductions from pharmaceutical manufacturers to plan sponsors under Part D, either directly or through pharmacy benefit managers, unless the price reduction is required by law. The rule also creates a safe harbor for price reductions reflected at the point-of-sale, as well as a new safe harbor for certain fixed fee arrangements between pharmacy benefit managers and manufacturers. The effective date of the new safe harbors and the revision to the discount safe harbor was delayed by court order until January 1, 2023. Recent legislation further delayed implementation of the new safe harbors and the revision to the discount safe harbor until January 1, 2032.
Commercialization of Sephience, Translarna and Upstaza has been in, and is expected to continue to take place in, countries that tend to impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our revenues. Failure to obtain and maintain acceptable pricing and reimbursement terms for Sephience for PKU, Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD, or Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the EEA and other countries where these products are available would delay or prevent us from marketing our product in such regions, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the recent decision of the European Commission to withdraw Translarna’s marketing authorization materially limits our ability to make Translarna available in the EEA on a reimbursed basis and may impact our revenues in the EEA and regions that relied on the EEA marketing authorization. In addition, some countries in the EEA may require us to make payments based on the withdrawal of the Translarna marketing authorization and related actions by regulatory authorities overseeing market access systems in those countries.
65
In some countries, particularly the member states of the EEA, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to strict governmental control. Each country in the EEA has its own pricing and reimbursement regulations and may have other regulations related to the marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products in the country. We generally will not be able to commence commercial sales of Sephience for the treatment of PKU, Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD, or Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency pursuant to the marketing authorization granted by the EC in any particular member state of the EEA until we conclude the applicable pricing and reimbursement negotiations and comply with any licensing, employment or related regulatory requirements in that country. In some countries we may be required to conduct additional clinical trials or other studies of our product, including trials that compare the cost-effectiveness of our product to other available therapies in order to obtain reimbursement or pricing approval. We may not be able to conclude pricing and reimbursement negotiations or comply with additional regulatory requirements in the countries in which we seek to commercialize Sephience, Translarna, or Upstaza on a timely basis, or at all.
The pricing and reimbursement process varies from country to country and can take a substantial amount of time from initiation to completion. Pricing negotiations may continue after reimbursement has been obtained. We cannot predict the timing of the commercial launch of our products in countries where we are awaiting pricing and reimbursement guidelines. While we have submitted pricing and reimbursement dossiers with respect to Sephience for the treatment of PKU, Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD, and Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency in many EEA countries, we have only received both pricing and reimbursement approval on terms that are acceptable to us in a limited number of countries.
The price that is approved by governmental authorities in any country pursuant to commercial pricing and reimbursement processes may be significantly lower than the price we are able to charge for sales under our reimbursed EAP programs and various forms of national “market access agreements” may need to be entered into to achieve reimbursement. In some instances, reimbursement may be subject to challenge, reduction or denial by the government and other payors. In some countries, EAP and commercial sales of a product can begin while pricing and reimbursement rates are under discussion with the applicable government health programs. In the event that the negotiated price of the product is lower than the amount reimbursed for sales made prior to the conclusion of price negotiations, we may become obligated to repay such excess amount to the applicable government health program. We will make such retroactive reimbursement, if any, following the conclusion of price negotiations with the applicable government health authority.
In addition, the recent decision of the European Commission to not renew Translarna’s marketing authorization for the treatment of nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy following the negative opinion of the CHMP materially limits our ability to make Translarna available in the EEA or to receive reimbursement in connection with such continued availability. While the unprecedented EC decision referenced the possibility for individual countries within the European Union to leverage Articles 117(3) and 5(1) of the EU Directive 2001/83 to allow continued use of Translarna, many EEA countries have not adopted a mechanism for reimbursed access, and those that have done so have placed time restrictions and other conditions on patients. Some countries may never do so, or may request price adjustments or even seek to collect funds from us based on the nonrenewal of the Translarna MAA. For example, in France, the relevant regulatory authorities published a formal decree removing Translarna from the list of medicines available, which triggered a process to determine any payment we may owe based on an analysis of the difference between the price at which Translarna was reimbursed historically and a comparator product. It is possible that this process may result in the French authorities demanding a payment that is materially different than our prior estimates in France for the applicable period. Our ability to oppose such a demand may be limited to actions in the French court system, which may take years and may not be resolved in our favor, and may require advance payment of any disputed payment amount.
Political, economic and regulatory developments may further complicate pricing and reimbursement negotiations and there can be considerable pressure by governments and other stakeholders on prices and reimbursement levels, including as part of cost containment measures. In addition, adverse clinical and regulatory developments may exacerbate these risks.
Reference pricing used by various EU member states and parallel distribution, or arbitrage between low-priced and high-priced member states, can further reduce prices and revenues. Publication of discounts by third-party payors or authorities may lead to further pressure on prices or reimbursement levels within the country of publication and other countries.

If we fail to successfully secure and maintain pricing and reimbursement coverage for Sephience, Translarna or Upstaza or are significantly delayed in doing so or if burdensome conditions are imposed by private payers, government authorities or other third-party payors on such reimbursement, planned launches in the affected countries will be delayed and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We contract with third parties for the manufacture and distribution of our products and certain of our product candidates, which may increase the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our products or product candidates, such quantities may not meet the applicable regulatory quality standards, or such quantities at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our commercialization or development efforts.
We have limited personnel with experience in drug manufacturing and currently rely on third parties to manufacture our products and certain product candidates on a clinical or commercial scale. We currently rely on third parties for supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredients used in all of our products and product candidates. We outsource most of the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and distribution of our products and certain of our product candidates to third parties, including our commercial supply of Sephience, Translarna, Emflaza and Upstaza/Kebilidi.
We do not directly control manufacturing for our products and product candidates and we are dependent on and will continue to be dependent on, our contract manufacturers for compliance with cGMP or good distribution practice, or GDP, or similar regulatory requirements outside the EU and the United States for manufacture of both active drug substances and finished drug products. Should we or our contract manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we and they could face significant regulatory and commercial consequences. For example, regulatory authorities routinely inspect manufacturing and other drug/biologic facilities. Our manufacturers and manufacturing facilities must also be approved by such regulatory authorities pursuant to inspections that will be conducted after we submit our marketing applications and will be subject to continuing regulatory authority inspections should we receive marketing approval. If we or our contract manufacturers cannot successfully manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the EU member state regulatory authorities, FDA, or other ex-U.S. regulatory agencies, we and they will not be able to secure and/or maintain regulatory approval for the manufacturing facilities, and we would not be able to secure and/or maintain, or may be delayed in securing regulatory approval of marketing applications or supplements for the applicable products or product candidates. We may also have to repeat studies that used product that did not conform with applicable requirements. In addition, we or third-party manufacturers or distributors may not be able to comply with generally accepted worker safety standards, cGMP, GDP or similar regulatory requirements outside the EU and the United States. Our failure, or the failure of our third-party manufacturers or distributors, over whom we have no direct control, to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, clinical holds or termination of clinical studies, warning or untitled letters, regulatory communications warning the public about safety issues with a product, import or export refusals, license revocation, seizures, detentions, or recalls of product candidates or products, operating restrictions, criminal prosecutions or debarment, suits under the civil False Claims act, corporate integrity agreements, or consent decrees, any of which could significantly and adversely affect our reputation and supplies of our products or product candidates and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, we have no direct control over the ability of our contract manufacturers to maintain adequate quality control, quality assurance and qualified personnel. Furthermore, all of our contract manufacturers are engaged with other companies to supply and/or manufacture materials or products for such companies, which exposes our manufacturers to regulatory risks for the production of such other materials and products. As a result, failure to meet the regulatory requirements for the production of those materials and products may generally affect the regulatory status of our contract manufacturers’ facilities and our products or product candidates. If the FDA, EU member state regulatory authorities or a comparable ex-U.S. regulatory agency do not approve these or our facilities for the manufacture of our products or product candidates or if it withdraws its approval in the future, we may need to find alternative manufacturing facilities, which would negatively impact our ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval for or market our products or product candidates, if approved. There is also no guarantee that we would be able to find alternative manufacturing facilities or enter into agreements with alternative manufacturers on favorable terms. There may be limited manufacturers who would have the ability to manufacture our products and product candidates, especially our gene therapy product candidates, particularly as the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry becomes increasingly more consolidated. Moreover, any alternative manufacturers would need to be approved by the relevant regulatory authority, which approval is not
67
guaranteed. We, accordingly, may not be able to make alternative manufacturing arrangements, which could adversely affect our products, product candidates, and our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “Item 1. Business—Manufacturing” for additional information regarding the manufacturing of our products and product candidates.
Even if we are able to establish and maintain arrangements with third-party manufacturers, distributors and other third parties, reliance on such third parties entails additional risks, including:
Many additional factors could cause production or distribution interruptions with the manufacture and distribution of any of our products and product candidates, including human error, natural disasters, labor disputes, acts of terrorism or war, equipment malfunctions, contamination, supply chain disruption, including disruptions caused by outbreaks of contagious disease, any new tariffs imposed in the jurisdictions in which we operate, or raw material and component shortages. For example, we have previously experienced delays in receiving certain raw materials in connection with supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, however, these delays did not affect or delay our manufacturing given our inventories for such materials at the time. If future supply chain disruptions create prolonged delays, the supplies of our products or products candidates may be significantly and adversely affected and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our products and product candidates and any other products that we may develop may compete with other product candidates and products for access to manufacturing facilities. There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under cGMP regulations and that might be capable of manufacturing for us. In addition, changes in cGMP regulations could negatively impact our ability or the ability of our contract manufacturers to complete the manufacturing process of our products and our product candidates in a compliant manner on the schedule we require for commercial and clinical trial use, respectively.
If we or the third parties that we engage to manufacture product for our commercial sales, preclinical tests and clinical trials should, prior to the time that we have validated alternative providers, cease to continue to do so for any reason, we likely would experience delays in our ability to supply our products or product candidates to patients or in our ability to advance our clinical trials while we identify and qualify replacement suppliers and we may be unable to obtain replacement
68
supplies on terms that are favorable to us. In addition, if we are not able to obtain adequate supplies of our products or product candidates or the drug substances used to manufacture them, we will lose commercial sales revenue and it will be more difficult for us to develop our product candidates and compete effectively.
In addition, to the extent that any contract manufactures that we engage develop proprietary manufacturing processes or procedures, should we need to change manufacturers, we may not be able to transfer know-how to a new manufacturer. In such a case, the new manufacturer would need to invest substantial time, money, and effort to develop its own processes and procedures, which would require regulatory authority approval.
Third parties might illegally distribute and sell counterfeit or unfit versions of our products that do not meet our rigorous manufacturing and testing standards. A patient who receives a counterfeit or unfit drug may be at risk for a number of dangerous health consequences. Our reputation and business could suffer harm as a result of counterfeit or unfit drugs sold under our brand name. In addition, thefts of inventory at warehouses, plants or while in-transit, which are not properly stored and which are sold through unauthorized channels, could adversely impact patient safety, our reputation and our business.
Our current and anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacture and distribution of Sephience, Translarna, Emflaza, Upstaza, Kebilidi, Tegsedi, Waylivra and our product candidates may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and limit our ability to grow including our ability to develop product candidates and commercialize our products that receive regulatory approval on a timely and competitive basis.
We currently depend, and expect to continue to depend, on collaborations with third parties for the development and commercialization of some of our products and product candidates. If those collaborations are not successful, we may not be able to capitalize on the market potential of these products and product candidates.
For each of our product candidates, we plan to evaluate the merits of retaining commercialization rights for ourselves or entering into selective collaboration arrangements with leading pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, such as our collaborations with Roche and the SMA Foundation, for our SMA program, including Evrysdi. We have entered into arrangements with certain third parties to market or distribute Sephience for the treatment of PKU and Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD in certain countries and, as we continue to implement our commercialization plans for Sepience and Translarna, we anticipate that we will engage additional third parties to perform these functions for us in other countries. We generally plan to seek collaborators for the development and commercialization of product candidates that have high anticipated development costs, are directed at indications for which a potential collaborator has a particular expertise, or involve markets that require a large sales and marketing organization to serve effectively. Our likely collaborators for any marketing, distribution, development, licensing or broader collaboration arrangements may include: large and mid-size pharmaceutical companies, regional and national pharmaceutical companies and/or biotechnology companies.
We will have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that our collaborators dedicate to the development or commercialization of our product candidates and our collaborators will be subject to the same product development and commercialization risks that we are subject to. Our ability to generate revenues from these arrangements will depend on our collaborators’ desire and ability to successfully perform the functions assigned to them in these arrangements in a compliant manner. In particular, the commercial success of Evrysdi will depend on the success of Roche’s commercialization program. Furthermore, the successful development of another product candidate from our spinal muscular atrophy program will depend on the success of our collaborations with the SMA Foundation and Roche, including whether Roche pursues clinical development of any other compounds identified under the collaborations.
Collaborations involving our products and product candidates, including our collaborations with the SMA Foundation and Roche, pose the following risks to us:
69
Collaboration agreements may not lead to development or commercialization of product candidates in the most efficient manner or at all. If a collaborator of ours were to be involved in a business combination, the continued pursuit and emphasis on our product development or commercialization program could be delayed, diminished or terminated.
There may be future changes in legal and regulatory requirements that may materially impact our results of operation.
Future changes in legal and regulatory requirements may introduce new risks into our operations and future prospects, which we are not able to currently anticipate. By example, changes taking place in the United States associated with a new federal administration, as well as changes in legal standards, including the reduced level of judicial deference due to administrative agencies following a 2024 Supreme Court decision, may introduce uncertainties with respect to our current and future operations and our future likelihood of success. It is possible that new federal or state laws or regulations may be passed, or laws and regulations may be enforced differently than they were before, which may expose us to additional legal and regulatory risk or uncertainty and require the expenditure of additional resources to ensure that we are able to comply. Such actions could also adversely restrict our business and operations. There could also be changes in the FDA’s approval standards that could impact our ability to obtain product approval and market our product candidates within the
currently anticipated timeframes or otherwise impact the competitive market for our product candidates. Such changes may necessitate the conduct of additional development work, including preclinical and clinical trials, and manufacturing development. By example, for products intended for rare and serious diseases with unmet medical needs, the FDA is authorized to exercise regulatory flexibility when making a medical risk-benefit judgment. It is possible that whether and how the FDA exercises any regulatory flexibility, including with respect to specialized pathways, such as accelerated approval, may change, which could impact our ability to obtain product approval. Further, legal and regulatory changes may impact how we may market and sell our products in the future, if they are approved, as well as how they are reimbursed. Moreover, there have been and may continue to be changes in leadership and other staff in the federal workforce, and in agency policies, including at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and FDA, that may result in regulatory delays, including with respect to the FDA’s review of marketing applications and other submissions, both those reviewed under the PDUFA program and otherwise. These changes may impact the ability to communicate with and obtain guidance from the agencies, including final regulatory actions. At this time, it is too early to predict the exact nature of any changes that may take place or whether and how they may impact our business and results of operation.
Item 5. Other Information.
Director and Officer Trading Arrangements
A portion of the compensation of our directors and officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) is in the form of equity awards and, from time to time, directors and officers engage in open-market transactions with respect to the securities acquired pursuant to such equity awards or other Company securities, including to satisfy tax withholding obligations when equity awards vest or are exercised, and for diversification or other personal reasons.
Transactions in Company securities by directors and officers are required to be made in accordance with our insider trading policy, which requires that the transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables directors and officers to prearrange transactions in Company securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information.
The following table describes, for the quarterly period covered by this report, each trading arrangement for the sale or purchase of Company securities adopted or terminated by our directors and officers that is either (1) a contract, instruction or written plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c), or a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”, or (2) a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K):
