Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. The Company

PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “PTC”) is a global biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes clinically differentiated medicines that provide benefits to children and adults living with rare disorders. PTC's ability to innovate to identify new therapies and to globally commercialize products is the foundation that drives investment in a robust and diversified pipeline of transformative medicines. PTC’s mission is to provide access to best-in-class treatments for patients who have little to no treatment options. PTC’s strategy is to leverage its strong scientific and clinical expertise and global commercial infrastructure to bring therapies to patients. PTC believes that this allows it to maximize value for all of its stakeholders.

The Company hastwo products, Translarna™ (ataluren) and Emflaza® (deflazacort), for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”), a rare, life-threatening disorder. Translarna has marketing authorization in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) for the treatment of nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“nmDMD”) in ambulatory patients aged two years and older. In July 2020, the European Commission (“EC”) approved the removal of the statement “efficacy has not been demonstrated in non-ambulatory patients” from the indication statement for Translarna. Translarna also has marketing authorization in Russia for the treatment of 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’s marketing authorization for Translarna in the EEA is subject to annual review and renewal by the EC following reassessment by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) of the benefit-risk balance of the authorization, which the Company refers to as the annual EMA reassessment. 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. On October 18, 2024, the CHMP maintained its negative opinion for the renewal of the conditional marketing authorization following the requested reexamination procedure. In accordance with EMA regulations, the EC has 67 days from the date of issuanceto adopt the opinion. At this time, the EC has not yet adopted the negative opinion. The marketing authorization for Translarna remains in effect, pending the EC’s potential adoption of the negative opinion. The Company is exploring other potential mechanisms by which it may provide Translarna to nmDMD patients in the EEA if the negative opinion is adopted by the EC.

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 re-submission 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 NDA re-submission. 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 re-submitted 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 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 Upstaza (eladocagene exuparvovec), a gene therapy used 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. On November 13, 2024, the Company’s biologics license application (“BLA”) for its gene therapy treatment of AADC deficiency was approved by the FDA. This gene therapy 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.

One of the Company’s most advanced clinical stage molecules is sepiapterin. Sepiapterin is the Company’s product candidate for the treatment of phenylketonuria (“PKU”). In May 2023, the Company announced that the primary endpoint was achieved in its registration-directed Phase 3 trial for sepiapterin forphenylketonuria (“PKU”). The primary endpoint of the study was the achievement of statistically-significant reduction in blood Phe level. In March 2024, the Company submitted a marketing authorization application (“MAA”) to the EMA for sepiapterin for the treatment of PKU in the EEA, which was validated and accepted for review by the EMA in May 2024. The Company expects an opinion from the CHMP in the second quarter of 2025. In July 2024 the Company submitted an NDA to the FDA for sepiapterin for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with PKU, including the full spectrum of ages and disease subtypes, in the United States. In September 2024, the FDA accepted for filing the NDA, with a target regulatory action date of July 29, 2025. The Company also made a regulatory submission for sepiapterin for the treatment of PKU in Brazil in the third quarter of 2024, and in Japan in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a regulatory decision in Japan expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In addition to the Company’s SMA program, the Company’s splicing platform also includes PTC518, which is being developed for the treatment of Huntington’s disease (“HD”). The Company initiated a Phase 2 study of PTC518 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 PTC518 biomarker effect. In June 2023, the Company announced interim data from the 12-week placebo-controlled phase of the Phase 2 study of PTC518. In June 2024, the Company announced interim results from the full Phase 2 study of PTC518. At month 12, PTC518 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, PTC518 continued to be well tolerated. In September 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to the PTC518 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 PTC518. 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. The Company expects to provide results from the Phase 2 study of PTC518 for the treatment of HD in the second quarter of 2025. In November 2024, the Company entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Novartis Agreement”) with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Novartis”), relating to its PTC518 HD program which included related molecules. This transaction closed on January 11, 2025, and triggered a$1.0 billion upfront cash payment to the Company. See Note 18. Subsequent Events for additional information.

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 December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,646.9 million. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the private offerings of convertible senior notes (see Note 7), public and “at the market offerings” of common stock, proceeds from royalty purchase agreements (see Note 7), net proceeds from its borrowings under its credit agreement with Blackstone (see Note 7), 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 May 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, and from revenue associated with milestone and royalty payments from RPI (as defined below) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Royalty Purchase Agreement (as defined below) with RPI and, for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Royalty Pharma plc. The Company expects that cash flows from the sales of its products, 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.

  1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.

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, indefinite lived intangible assets annual impairment assessment, 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 relates to an unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit that was entered into during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019 in connection with obligations under a facility lease for the Company’s leased biologics manufacturing facility in Hopewell Township, New Jersey. The amount of the letter of credit was $7.5 million and was to be maintained for a term of not less than five years and had the potential to be reduced to $3.8 million if after five years the Company was not in default of its lease. In June 2024, in connection with an amendment and restatement of the lease, the letter of credit was reduced to $5.0 million, and has the potential to be reduced to $3.0 million if after July 1, 2025, the Company is not in default of its lease. Restricted cash also contains an unconditional, irrevocable and transferable letter of credit that was entered into during June 2022 in connection with obligations for the Company’s new facility lease in Warren, New Jersey. The initial amount of the letter of credit was $8.1 million, but was increased to $10.0 million as a result of a lease amendment executed December 31, 2024. 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. Refer to Note 5 for further details. Restricted cash also includes a bank guarantee of $0.6 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 statement of cash flows:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · End of · ​ · Beginning of
​ · period- · period-
​ · December 31, · December 31,

Cash and cash equivalents​$779,709​$594,001
Restricted cash included in deposits and other assets​15,607​16,283
Total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per statement of cash flows​$795,316​$610,284

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PTC Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 inone 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, 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. 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 royalty revenues. Refer to Note 12 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 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 15 for segment information on significant segment expenses and geographic breakdown.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

Marketable securities

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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 income (expense), net within the consolidated statement of operations.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. The Company’s investment policy includes guidelines on the quality of the financial institutions and financial instruments the Company is allowed to invest in, which the Company believes minimizes the exposure to concentration of credit risk.

The Company is subject to credit risk from its accounts receivable related to its product sales. The payment terms are predetermined and the Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer or distributor on a regular basis. The Company reserves all uninsured amounts billed directly to a patient until the time of cash receipt as collectability is not reasonably assured at the time the product is received. To date, the Company has not incurred any material credit losses.

Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed starting when the asset is placed into service on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset as follows:

Leasehold improvementsLesser of useful life or lease term
Computer equipment and software​3 years
Machinery and lab equipment​7 years
Furniture and fixtures​7 years

Inventory and cost of product 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 · December 31, 2023
Raw materials​$2,538​$952
Work in progress​12,216​17,991
Finished goods​8,440​11,634
Total inventory​$23,194​$30,577

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. The Company recorded write downs of $13.2 million and $12.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, 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 sales. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these amounts were immaterial.

Cost of product sales

Cost of product 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, and royalty payments to collaborative partners associated with royalty revenues and collaboration revenue related to milestones. Production costs are expensed as cost of product sales when the related products are sold or royalty revenues and collaboration revenue milestones are earned.

Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income

Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Revenue recognition

Net product revenue

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. 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.

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 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.

Manufacturing Revenue

The Company has manufacturing revenue related to the production of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) and adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. Performance obligations vary but may include manufacturing plasmid DNA and/or AAV vectors, material testing, stability studies, and other services related to material development. The transaction prices for these arrangements are fixed and include amounts stated in the contracts for each promised service. Typically, the performance obligations within a manufacturing contract are highly interdependent, in which case, the Company will combine them into a single performance obligation. The Company has determined that the assets created have no alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date, therefore revenue related to these services are recognized over time and is measured using an output method based on performance of manufacturing milestones completed to date.

Manufacturing service contracts may also include performance obligations related to project management services or obtaining materials from third parties. The Company has determined that these are separate performance obligations for which revenue is recognized at the point in time the services are performed. For performance obligations related to obtaining third-party materials, the Company has determined that it is the principal as the Company has control of the materials and has discretion in setting the price. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis related to obtaining third-party materials.

Certain arrangements require a portion of the contract consideration to be received in advance at the commencement of the contract, and such advance payment is initially recorded as a contract liability. A contract asset may be recognized in the event the Company’s satisfaction of performance obligations outpaces customer billings.

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.

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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no allowance was recorded for credit losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, bad debt expense was $1.7 million, $0.9 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.

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 7 for further details.

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 areamortized 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. See Note 5 Leases for additional information.

Research and development costs

Research and development expenses include the clinical development costs associated with the Company’s product development programs and research and development costs associated with the Company’s discovery programs. These expenses include internal research and development costs and the costs of research and development conducted on behalf of the Company by third parties, including sponsored university-based research agreements and clinical study vendors. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged immediately to research and development expense if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future uses.

Advance payments made for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are deferred if the contracted party has not yet performed the related activities. The amount deferred is then expensed when the research and development activities are performed. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the short term deferred research and development advance payments were $7.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and are classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the long term deferred research and development advance payments were $1.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, and are classified as deposits and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows the fair value measurement rules, which provides guidance 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.

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).

●Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the balance sheet date.
●Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
●Level 3—Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions as to what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available.

Cash equivalents, marketable securities, and equity investments are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. The carrying amounts of receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

Share-based compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. Restricted stock awards are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. For service type awards, share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the entire award.

The fair value of options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant based on key assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term. The Company estimates the expected volatility of options utilizing the Company’s historical stock volatility. The Company estimates the expected term of options utilizing the Company’s historical exercise data. The risk-free rate of the option is 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. In connection with the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-9, the Company made a policy election to continue its methodology for estimating its forfeiture rate.

Stock-based compensation expense for performance stock units (“PSUs”) is determined using the grant date fair value, which is the quoted closing market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense for the PSUs will not be recognized until the achievement of the performance goal is deemed probable (the “Probable Date”), a determination that requires significant judgment by management, as the achievement of these goals have inherent risk and uncertainties. At the Probable Date, the Company records a cumulative catch-up expense for the portion of the grant date fair value attributable to the period from the grant date to the Probable Date. The remaining expense is recognized over the remaining service period on a straight-line basis.

Income taxes

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (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 (OECD) Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates are 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 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-tax 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 December 31, 2024.

Starting in 2022, TCJA amendments to IRC Section 174 no longer permits an immediate deduction for research and development (R&D) 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 foreign soil. This tax law change resulted in an increased current taxable income of the Company by$62.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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.

On August 23, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Agilis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Agilis”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 19, 2018 (the “Agilis Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Agility Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly owned, indirect subsidiary, Agilis and, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the equityholders of Agilis, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, (the “Agilis Merger”). The Company recorded a deferred tax liability in conjunction with the Agilis Merger of$122.0 million in 2018, related to the tax basis difference in the In-Process Research and Development, or IPR&D, indefinite-lived intangibles acquired. The Company’s policy is to record a deferred tax liability related to acquired IPR&D which may eventually be realized either upon amortization of the asset when the research is completed and a product is

successfully launched or the write-off of the asset if it is abandoned or unsuccessful. In July 2022, the Company received EMEA approval for a portion of the IPR&D assets, and thus, began the amortization of the intangible.

In May 2023, as part of a strategic portfolio prioritization, the Company announced the discontinuation of its preclinical and early research programs for its gene therapy platform, which included programs for FA and Angelman syndrome. In conjunction with the announcement, the Company recorded an impairment to its indefinite-lived intangible for IP research and development relating to the FA and Angelman syndrome gene therapy assets.

In November 2024, the Company was granted FDA approval and received (and subsequently sold) an associated Priority Review Voucher for a portion of the IPR&D assets. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an impairment to the remainder of the indefinite-lived intangible IPR&D assets. As a result of this activity, the Company no longer has an associated deferred tax liability associated with the Agilis Merger to carry forward.

Foreign currency

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries primarily are the local currencies of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The Company’s asset and liability accounts are translated using the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated using historical rates at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated using a weighted average exchange rate over the period ended on the balance sheet date. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity within other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income or expense, within the consolidated statements of income.

Net (loss) income per share

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. During periods in which the Company incurs net losses, both basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding—potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of options and unvested restricted stock outstanding under the Company’s stock option plans.

Business combinations and asset acquisitions

The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs, which would meet the requirements of a business. If determined to be a business combination, the Company accounts for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business

combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities, and non-controlling interest in the acquiree based on the fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

The consideration for the Company’s business acquisitions may include future payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of a particular event or events. The obligations for such contingent consideration payments are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration obligations are then evaluated each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, other than changes due to payments, are recognized as a gain or loss and recorded within the change in the fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of operations.

If determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under ASC 805-50, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. No gain or loss is recognized as of the date of acquisition unless the fair value of non-cash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s books. Consideration transferred that is noncash will be measured based on either the cost (which will be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given) or the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever is more reliably measurable. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition and any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the identifiable assets based on relative fair values.

Contingent consideration payments in asset acquisitions are recognized when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable (unless the contingent consideration meets the definition of a derivative, in which case the amount becomes part of the basis in the asset acquired). Upon recognition of the contingent consideration payment, the amount is included in the cost of the acquired asset or group of assets.

Finite-lived intangible assets

The Company records the fair value of purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives as of the transaction date of a business combination or asset acquisition. Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company monitors its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles for indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of affected assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets is less than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. If such assets are found not to be recoverable, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the fair value of the assets, with the fair value generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the South Plainfield, New Jersey office closure and Warren, New Jersey lease modification, the Company recorded a $4.1 million loss primarily related to fixed assets impairments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company believes that no additional impairment of long-lived assets exists.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of IPR&D. IPR&D acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination is capitalized if the projects will be further developed or have an alternative future use; otherwise they are expensed. The fair values of IPR&D projects and license agreement assets acquired in business combinations are capitalized. Several methods may be used to determine the estimated fair value of the IPR&D and license agreement asset acquired in a business combination. The Company utilizes the “income method” and uses estimated future net cash flows that are derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs. These projections are based on factors such as relevant market size, patent protection, and expected pricing and industry trends. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted to the present value using an appropriate discount rate. These assets are treated as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects, at which time the assets are amortized over the remaining useful life or written off, as appropriate. Intangible assets with indefinite lives, including IPR&D, are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. However, 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 an indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test consists of a one-step analysis that compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the value of its intangible assets with indefinite lives may not be recoverable, including, but not limited to, expected growth rates, the cost of equity and debt capital, general economic conditions, the Company’s outlook and market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance.

The Company performed an annual test for its PTC-AADC indefinite-lived intangible asset as of October 1, 2024 and recorded a partial impairment on the PTC-AADC indefinite-lived intangible asset of$159.5 million, which is recorded as intangible asset impairment in the statement of operations. The impairment was related to a decrease in projected cash flows due to refinements in current market assumptions and the timing of patient treatments. To calculate the impairment amount, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow model under the income method, which primarily utilized Level 3 fair value inputs. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of the model included the estimated annual cash flows, particularly net revenues and operations costs, and the appropriate discount rate to select in order to measure the risk inherent in the future cash flows. Refer to Note 17 for further information regarding the Company’s intangible assets.

Goodwill

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. As of December 31, 2024, the Company concluded that it continues to operate asone reporting unit. 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. The Company performed an annual test for goodwill as of October 1, 2024. The Company’s single reporting unit had a negative carrying value, and thus the Company determined there wasno impairment of goodwill.

Tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net

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 year ended December 31 2024, these amounts consisted of a $4.4 million loss primarily related to the sale of certain assets for gene therapy manufacturing, and a $4.1 million loss primarily related to fixed asset impairments in connection with the South Plainfield, New Jersey office closure and Warren, New Jersey lease modification (Note 4). These amounts were partially offset by a gain of $2.2 million on lease terminations, and a gain of $5.5 million on lease modification (Note 5).

Recent accounting pronouncements

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 rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.

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.

Impact of recently adopted accounting pronouncement

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires that a public entity provide additional segment disclosures on an interim and annual basis. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, unless impracticable. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2024 and has updated its disclosures within its footnotes herein to include the required additional segment disclosures.

  1. Fair value of financial instruments and investments

The Company follows the fair value measurement rules, which provide guidance 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. Cash equivalents, marketable securities, and equity investments are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. The carrying amount of receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its marketable securities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as Level 2 as they primarily utilize broker quotes in a nonactive market to value these securities.

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 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company classifies its equity investments in ClearPoint as a Level 1 asset within the fair value hierarchy, as the value is based on a quoted market price in an active market, which is not adjusted.

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 December 31, 2024 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 as of December 31, 2023.

The Company has an investment in mutual funds that is denominated in 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 table presented below is 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

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 in Note 2 for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no allowance was recorded for credit losses. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ deficit.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had $3.4 million of realized gains from the sale of available for sale debt securities. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had $0.3 million of realized 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.

Convertible senior notes

In September 2019, the Company issued $287.5 million of 1.5% 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 December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $321.3 million and $265.3 million, respectively.

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. The fair value of the development and regulatory milestones are estimated utilizing a probability adjusted, discounted cash flow approach. The discount rates are estimated utilizing Corporate B rated bonds maturing in the years of expected payments based on the Company’s estimated development timelines for the acquired product candidate. The fair value of the net sales milestones is determined utilizing a valuation framework that estimates net sales volatility to simulate a range

of possible payment scenarios. The average of the payments in these scenarios is then discounted to calculate present fair value.

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 programs for FA and Angelman syndrome. As a result, the Company fully impaired the FA and Angelman syndrome intangible assets and determined that the fair value for all of the contingent consideration payable related to FA and Angelman syndrome was $0. The change in fair value for the contingent consideration payable related to FA and Angelman syndrome for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $128.4 million and is included in thechange in fair value of the contingent consideration in the statement of operations. The remaining contingent consideration as of December 31, 2023 was $36.3 million, which was solely related to the development and regulatory milestones, and net sales milestones, for AADC product.

In May 2024, the Company’s BLA for its gene therapy treatment of AADC deficiency was accepted for filing by the FDA. The application was granted priority review with a target regulatory action date of November 13, 2024. As a result of the acceptance, in accordance with the terms of the Agilis Merger Agreement, the Company paid a $20.0 million milestone payment to the former equityholders of Agilis during the year ended December 31, 2024. On November 13, 2024, the Company’s BLA for its gene therapy treatment of AADC deficiency was approved by the FDA. The approval triggered $11.0 million in milestone payments to the former equityholders of Agilis in accordance with the terms of the Agilis Merger Agreement, and was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there areno remaining development and regulatory milestones for AADC-related product. The remaining contingent consideration balance as of December 31, 2024 is $0.8 million, which is solely related to the net sales milestones for AADC products.

As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average discount rate for the Upstaza net sales milestones was 15.0% and the weighted average probability of success for the net sales milestones was 100%, as the Company has now received regulatory approval in the United States and the EU.

The table presented below is a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 valuation for the contingent consideration payables for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023:

The contingent consideration payables are classified Level 3 liabilities as their valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market. If different assumptions were used for the various inputs to the valuation approaches, including but not limited to, assumptions involving probability adjusted sales estimates for the gene therapy platform and estimated discount rates, the estimated fair value could be significantly higher or lower than the fair value determined.

Depreciation expense was approximately $14.9 million, $13.9 million, and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

During the year end December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $4.4 million loss primarily related to the sale of certain assets for gene therapy manufacturing. Additionally, in connection with the South Plainfield, New Jersey office closure, as well as the Warren, New Jersey lease modification, the Company recorded a $4.1 million loss primarily related to fixed assets impairments. Both the fixed asset loss on sale and fixed asset impairments are recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations within tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net.

  1. Leases

Effective April 2024, the Company began utilizing the Warren Premises, as described below, as its principal office space. 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’s lease for office space in South Plainfield, New Jersey expired in August 2024.

The Company has a lease agreement (the “Warren Lease”) with Warren CC Acquisitions, LLC (the “Warren Landlord”). The lease initially related totwo entire buildings comprised of approximately 360,000 square feet of shell condition, modifiable space (the “Warren Premises”) at a facility located in Warren, New Jersey. The rental term of the Warren Lease commenced on June 1, 2022, with an initial term ofseventeen years (the “Warren Initial Term”), followed bythree consecutive five-year renewal periods at the Company’s option. The aggregate base rent for the Warren Initial Term was approximately$163.0 million; provided, however, that if the Company is not subject to an Event of Default (as defined in the Warren Lease), the Company was entitled to a base rent abatement over the first three years of the Warren Initial Term of approximately$18.6 million, reducing the Company’s total base rent obligation to$144.4 million.

On December 31, 2024, the Company and the Warren Landlord entered into a First Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Warren Lease Amendment”), which amends certain aspects of the Warren Lease dated as of May 24, 2022 between the Company and the Warren Landlord. Pursuant to the Warren Lease Amendment, as of the Surrender Effective Date (as defined in the Warren Lease Amendment) the Company is now only leasingone building comprised of approximately 180,000 square feet. The Company will continue paying rent as scheduled, along with certain maintenance and utilities costs, through the end of December 2027, after which the Company will pay a reduced aggregate base rent of $57.7 million, reflecting a reduction of $57.7 million to initial total base rent obligation.

Under the Warren Lease Amendment, the Company’s allowance provided by the Landlord to be used towards certain improvements to the Warren Premises is reduced from $36.1 million to $23.9 million, which is to be paid in accordance with the Warren Lease. In connection with the Warren Lease Amendment the letter of credit associated with the Warren Lease was increased from $8.1 million to $10.0 million.

As the Warren Lease Amendment partially terminated the existing Warren Lease, it was accounted for as a lease modification in accordance with ASC 842-10-25-13. The ROU liability was remeasured using an incremental borrowing rate at the date of modification of 7.8%, and the ROU asset was remeasured based on the proportionate change in the lease liability, which resulted in gain on modification of $5.5 million. The gain is included within tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company also leases office and laboratory space at a facility located in Hopewell Township, New Jersey pursuant to a Lease Agreement (the “Hopewell Lease”) with Hopewell Campus Owner LLC. In connection with the disposition of certain assets related to gene therapy manufacturing, on June 17, 2024, the Company and Hopewell Campus Owner LLC entered into an amendment and restatement of the Hopewell Lease (the “Hopewell Lease Amendment”). At its inception, the Hopewell Lease was determined to have four separate lease components. The Hopewell Lease Amendment terminated three of thefour lease components, reducing the leased space from 220,500 square feet to 93,461 square feet and

significantly reducing the corresponding rent subject to the lease. The Company did not pay any termination fees in connection with the Hopewell Lease Amendment. As a result of thethree terminated lease components, the related ROU asset was written off, the lease liability was derecognized, and the Company recognized a gain of$2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The gain is included within tangible asset impairment and losses (gains) on transactions, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Hopewell Lease Amendment did not fully or partially terminate the remaining lease component, which was therefore remeasured using an incremental borrowing rate at the date of modification of 7.5%, which resulted in an increase of the ROU asset and operating lease liability of$1.6 million, respectively. In connection with the Hopewell Lease Amendment,$2.5 million of the letter of credit was returned to the Company.

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 December 31, 2024, the balance of the finance lease liabilities-current and finance lease liabilities-non-current are $3.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively, and are directly related to the Company’s MassBio agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of the finance lease liabilities-current and finance lease liabilities non-current were $3.0 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded finance lease costs of $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to interest on the lease liability.

The Company also leases certain vehicles, lab equipment, and office equipment under operating leases. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 0.1 years to 14.4 years and certain leases include renewal options to extend the lease for up to 15 years. Rent expense was $24.9 million, $29.0 million, and $25.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

  1. Debt

Liability for sale of future royalties

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 License and Collaboration Agreement (the “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 the SMA program. 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 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 Investments 2019 ICAV (“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 tofive 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 exercisestwo or 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 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.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On October 27, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Blackstone Credit Agreement”) for fundings of up to $950.0 million consisting of a committed loan facility of $450.0 million and further contemplating the potential for up to $500.0 million of additional financing, to the extent that the Company requested such additional financing and subject to the Lenders’ agreement to provide such additional financing and to mutual agreement on terms, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) and funds and other affiliated entities advised or managed by Blackstone Life Sciences and Blackstone Credit (collectively, “Blackstone”, and such lenders, together with their permitted assignees, the “Lenders” and each a “Lender”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the administrative agent for the Lenders.

The Blackstone Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured term loan facility funded on the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of$300.0 million (the “Initial Loans”) and a committed delayed draw term loan facility of up to$150.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Loans” and, together with the Initial Loans, the “Loans”) to be funded at the Company’s request within 18 months of the Closing Date subject to specified conditions. In addition, the Blackstone Credit Agreement contemplated the potential for further financings by Blackstone, by providing for incremental discretionary uncommitted further financings of up to$500.0 million. The Company capitalized approximately$11.6 million of debt issuance costs which are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability and are being amortized over the term of the senior secured term loan facility using the effective interest rate method.

The Loans were to mature on the date that isseven years from the Closing Date. Borrowings under the Blackstone Credit Agreement bore interest at a variable rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus seven and a quarter percent (7.25%) or the Base Rate plus six and a quarter percent (6.25%), subject to a floor of one percent (1%) and two percent (2%) with respect to Term SOFR rate and Base Rate (each as defined in the Blackstone

Credit Agreement), respectively. Payment of the Loans were subject to certain premiums specified in the Blackstone Credit Agreement, in each case, from the date of the applicable Loan funded.

On October 19, 2023, the Company terminated the Blackstone Credit Agreement. In connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid outstanding principal of $300.0 million, accrued interest of $2.1 million, an additional $82.0 million in prepayment premiums, exit fees, and creditor expenses, and $0.2 million in legal fees. The Company recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $92.7 million which was included on the statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2023. The loss on extinguishment of debt consisted of $82.0 million in prepayment premiums, exit fees, and creditor expenses and debt issuance costs of $10.7 million. All liens and security interests securing the loans made pursuant to the Blackstone Credit Agreement were released upon termination.

2026 Convertible Notes

In September 2019, the Company issued, at par value, $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2026, 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:

●during any calendar quarter commencing on or after December 31, 2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
●during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
●during any period after the Company has issued notice of redemption until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the relevant redemption date; or
●upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

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.

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) will, 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:

  1. Capital structure

Common stock

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 pursuant to the Sales Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. The remaining shares of the Company’s 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 December 31, 2024.

In connection with the execution of the Blackstone Credit Agreement, the Company and certain entities affiliated with the Lenders (the “Purchasers”) also entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) on the Closing Date for the sale and issuance of 1,095,290 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) to the Purchasers at a price of $45.65 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.0 million. The per share price represents the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 26, 2022.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the resale of the Shares on a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days of the Closing Date. The Company agreed to keep such registration statement effective for a period ofsix months following the Closing Date. In addition, subject to certain conditions, the Purchasers were entitled to participate in registered underwritten public offerings by the Company during such period.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers and certain of their controlled affiliates agreed not to, without the prior written approval of the Company and subject to specified conditions, directly or indirectly acquire shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock in excess of specified thresholds, seek or propose any acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, seek or propose a merger or other business combination involving the Company, solicit proxies or consents with respect to any securities of the Company, seek to influence the management, board of directors or policies of the Company, or undertake other specified actions related to the potential acquisition of additional equity interests in the Company, or to encourage others to do any of the above (the “Standstill Restrictions”). The Standstill Restrictions terminated upon the termination of the Blackstone Credit Agreement.

The Purchasers also agreed not to sell or transfer the Shares without the prior written approval of the Company for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

In February 2023, the Company completed enrollment of its Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trial for sepiapterin for PKU. In connection with this event and pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the Company paid a $30.0 million development milestone to the former Censa securityholders during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company elected to pay this milestone in the form of shares of its common stock, less certain cash payments in accordance with the Censa Merger Agreement. Pursuant to such election, the Company issued 657,462 shares of its common stock and paid $0.4 million to the former Censa securityholders.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s number of authorized shares of common stock was 250,000,000.

  1. Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for common stockholders:

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 Inventive Plan. As of December 31, 2024, awards for 1,923,916 shares of common stock are 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 exceedten years). Options typically vest over afour-year period.

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 challenging performance goals relating to development and regulatory milestones are achieved over an approximatelytwo year performance period. In December 2024, the Company granted 25,000 performance-based restricted stock units 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 and granted an additional 31,250 PSUs, which will vest only if challenging performance goals relating to stock price goals are achieved over an approximately five year performance period. As of December 31, 2024, the achievements of the performance goals have not yet been deemed probable and thereforeno expense has been recognized to date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan—In June 2016, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, “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 Board. In June 2021, the Plan was amended to increase the total number of shares available for purchase under the Plan fromone million shares totwo million shares of the Company’s common stock. Employees may participate over asix-month period through payroll withholdings and may purchase, at the end of thesix-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 period ending December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $2.2 million in compensation expense related to the ESPP.

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:

During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, two countries, the United States and Russia, accounted for at least 10% of the Company’s net product sales, representing $255.1 million and $86.0 million, and $218.3 million and $59.7 million of the net product sales, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, two of the Company’s distributors each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s net product sales.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company doesnot 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 revenue and Royalty revenue

In November 2011, the Company and the Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation (“SMA Foundation”) entered into a licensing and collaboration agreement with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd and Hoffman- La Roche Inc. (collectively, “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 certain sales events, and up to double digit royalties on worldwide annual net sales of a commercial product.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, collaboration revenue related to the SMA License Agreement with Roche was immaterial. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized collaboration revenue related to the SMA License Agreement with Roche of $100.0 million, and $50.1 million, respectively. The below summarizes the milestone achievements associated with the Company’s SMA program during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

The SMA program currently hasone 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. In September 2022, the Company recognized a sales milestone of $50.0 million for the achievement of $750.0 million in worldwide annual net sales from Evrysdi. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a sales milestone of $100.0 million for the achievement of $1.5 billion in worldwide annual net sales from Evrysdi, which was recorded on the balance sheet within prepaid expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2023. The remaining potential sales milestones as of December 31, 2024 is $150.0 million upon achievement of certain sales events. As of December 31, 2024, the Company doesnot have any remaining research and development milestones that can be received.

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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 the Company has recognized $203.9 million, $168.9 million, and $113.5 million of royalty revenue related to Evrysdi, respectively.

Manufacturing Revenue

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $7.7 million of manufacturing revenue, respectively, related to the production of DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. No manufacturing revenue was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying ASC Topic 606 for the years ended 2024, 2023, and 2022.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not have a contract liabilities balance related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for gene therapy applications for external customers. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a contract liabilities balance of $0.8 million related to the production of plasmid DNA and AAV vectors for external customers, which is recorded within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $0.8 million related to the amounts included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company hasno contract assets related to plasmid DNA and AAV production for external customers. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had contract assets of $0.2 million related to plasmid DNA and AAV production for external customers, which was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

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.

Remaining performance obligations

There areno remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s remaining performance obligations of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2023 were fully recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated taxable income in the U.S. of $810.3 million. The Company has recorded a federal income tax provision expense of $26.8 million and a state income tax expense of $19.4 million which are driven by the recognition of previously deferred revenue from the A&R Royalty Purchase Agreement.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of $857.6 million and $833.8 million, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $23.8 million and $161.6 million, respectively. A valuation allowance has been recorded since, in the judgment of management, these assets are not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible or are utilized. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $204.9 million, and $9.8 million of state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. Further, the Company expects to utilize all federal net operating loss carryforwards in the 2024 tax year.

The Company recorded a deferred tax liability in conjunction with the Agilis Merger of $122.0 million in 2018, related to the tax basis difference in the IPRD indefinite-lived intangibles acquired. The Company’s policy is to record a deferred tax liability related to acquired IPR&D which may eventually be realized either upon amortization of the asset when the research is completed, and a product is successfully launched or the write-off of the asset if it is abandoned or unsuccessful. In July 2022, the Company received EMEA approval for a portion of the IPR&D assets, and thus, began the amortization of the intangible. In May 2023, the Company announced the discontinuation of its preclinical and early research programs in gene therapy as part of a strategic portfolio prioritization. In conjunction with the announcement, the Company recorded an impairment to its indefinite-lived intangible for IP research and development relating to the FA and Angelman syndrome

gene therapy assets. In November 2024, the Company was granted U.S. FDA approval and received (and subsequently sold) an associated Priority Review Voucher for a portion of the IPR&D assets. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an impairment to the remainder of the indefinite-lived intangible IPR&D assets. As a result of this activity, the Company no longer has an associated deferred tax liability associated with the Agilis Merger to carry forward.

As of December 31, 2024, the combined Research and Development and Orphan Drug Credit carryforward for federal purposes is $146.5 million.

The income tax (expense) benefit for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to loss before tax expense as a result of the IPR&D assets becoming partially amortizable in 2022, foreign taxes, the impact of temporary difference, including the updated section 174, the impact of permanent differences, including “global intangible low-taxed income” (“GILTI”), tax credits generated, true up of net operating loss carryforwards, and increase in the Company’s valuation allowance.

Under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the ability to currently deduct qualifying research and experimental costs under section 174, as well as software development costs, are eliminated for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. Under the new rule, these costs must be capitalized and amortized over a five-year or fifteen-year period, depending on whether the research is conducted in the U.S. or abroad, respectively. The rule became effective for the Company during the 2022 tax year, and resulted in an increased current taxable income of the Company by $62.5 million for the tax year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company applies the elements of FASB ASC 740-10 regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and required impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $108.0 million including interest and penalties through 2024. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to tax matters within the income tax provision. Tax years beginning in 2014 are generally subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating losses from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. The Company is currently under a corporate business tax audit in New Jersey for tax years 2020 through 2022. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the company does not expect any adjustment to result for these years as of December 31, 2024.

For all years through December 31, 2016, the Company generated research credits but has not conducted a study to document the qualified activities. This study may result in an adjustment to the Company’s research and development credit carryforwards; however, until a study is completed and any adjustment is known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position. A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company’s research and development credits and, if an adjustment is required, this adjustment would be offset by an adjustment to the deferred tax asset established for the research and development credit carryforwards and the valuation allowance.

As a result of U.S. tax reform legislation, distributions of profits from non-U.S. subsidiaries are not expected to cause a significant incremental U.S. tax impact in the future. However, distributions may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes if profits are distributed from certain jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2024, for purposes of ASC 740-10-25-3, the Company had $425.3 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that it intends to reinvest permanently in its non-U.S. operations. As these ASC 740-10-25-3 earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no tax provision has been accrued. It is not feasible to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on the eventual remittance of such earnings.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, is as follows:

​​​
​Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance at December 31, 2023​1,360
Increases in uncertain tax benefits106,628
Balance at December 31, 2024$107,988

Uncertain tax positions, for which management's assessment is that there is a more than 50% probability of sustaining the position upon challenge by a taxing authority based upon its technical merits, are subject to certain recognition and measurement criteria. The nature of the uncertain tax positions is often very complex and subject to change, and the amounts at issue can be substantial. The Company develops its cumulative probability assessment of the measurement of uncertain tax positions using internal experience, judgment, and assistance from professional advisors. The Company re-evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, and effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Any change in these factors could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

The Company records penalties and tax-related interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company has recorded interest related to uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate.

  1. 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. The Company has entered into a collaboration agreement with the SMA Foundation. The Company was obligated to pay the SMA Foundation single-digit royalties on worldwide net product sales of any collaboration product that was successfully developed and subsequently commercialized or, with respect to collaboration products the Company outlicensed, including Evrysdi, a specified percentage of certain payments the Company received from its licensee. The Company was not obligated to make such payments unless and until annual sales of a collaboration product exceeded a designated threshold. Since inception, the SMA Foundation has earned $52.5 million in royalty payments, all of which was paid as of December 31, 2024. The Company has reached its obligations to make such payments to the SMA Foundation of an aggregate of $52.5 million, and therefore, there areno further payment obligations due.

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement ("Asset Purchase Agreement") between the Company and Marathon Pharmaceuticals, LLC (now known as Complete Pharma Holdings, LLC) (“Marathon”), Marathon was entitled to receive contingent payments from the Company based on annual net sales of Emflaza up to a specified aggregate maximum amount over the expected commercial life of the asset. This amount was achieved during the year ended December 31, 2024, therefore no future payments will be due. In addition, Marathon received a $50.0 million sales-based milestone during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the Agilis Merger Agreement with Agilis, 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.

On April 29, 2020, the Company, certain of the former equity holders of Agilis (“the Participating Rightholders”), and, for the limited purposes set forth in the agreement, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, entered into a Rights Exchange Agreement (the “Rights Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Exchange Agreement, the Participating Rightholders canceled and forfeited their rights under the Agilis Merger Agreement to receive (i) $174.0 million, in the aggregate, of potential milestone payments based on the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and (ii) $37.6 million, in the aggregate, of $40.0 million in development milestone payments that would have been due upon the passing of the second anniversary of the closing of the Agilis Merger, regardless of whether the milestones are achieved.

The Rights Exchange Agreement has no effect on the Agilis Merger Agreement other than to provide for the cancellation and forfeiture of the Participating Rightholders’ rights to receive $211.6 million, in the aggregate, of the milestone payments described above. As a result, all other rights and obligations under the Agilis Merger Agreement remain in effect pursuant to their terms, including the Company’s obligation to pay up to an aggregate maximum amount of $20.0 million upon the achievement of certain development milestones (representing the remaining portion of potential development milestone payments for which rights were not canceled and forfeited pursuant to the Rights Exchange Agreement while excluding the remaining $2.4 million milestone payment that was due and paid upon the passing of the second anniversary of the closing of the Agilis Merger), up to an aggregate maximum amount of $361.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones (representing the remaining portion of potential regulatory milestone payments for which rights were not canceled and forfeited pursuant to the Rights Exchange Agreement), up to a maximum aggregate amount of $150.0 million upon the achievement of certain net sales milestones and a percentage of annual net sales for FA and Angelman syndrome during specified terms, ranging from 2% to 6%, pursuant to the terms of the Agilis Merger Agreement.

In July 2022, the EC approved Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency for patients 18 months and older within the EEA. As a result of such approval, the Company paid the former equityholders of Agilis$50.0 million in accordance with the terms of the Agilis Merger Agreement in the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 programs for 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% to 6% royalties on annual net sales related to FA and Angelman syndrome.

In March 2024, the Company submitted a BLA to the FDA for its gene therapy treatment for AADC deficiency in the United States. In May 2024, the FDA accepted the filing for the BLA and granted priority review with a target regulatory action date of November 13, 2024. As a result of the acceptance, the Company paid a $20.0 million milestone payment to former equity holders of Agilis during the year ended December 31, 2024. On November 13, 2024, the Company’s BLA for its gene therapy treatment of AADC deficiency was approved by the FDA. In connection with the approval, the Company was granted a rare disease PRV. The FDA approval and PRV triggered $11.0 million in regulatory milestones, which were recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. As of

December 31, 2024, there areno remaining regulatory milestones. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining potential sales milestones related to Upstaza/Kebilidi is $50.0 million.

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 Bio-e 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 and central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The lead program, vatiquinone, is in late stage development for CNS disorders 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, 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.

In February 2023, the Company completed enrollment of its Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trial for sepiapterin for PKU. In connection with this event and pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the Company paid a $30.0 million development milestone to the former Censa securityholders during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company elected to pay this milestone in the form of shares of its common stock, less certain cash payments in accordance with the Censa Merger Agreement. Pursuant to such election, the Company issued 657,462 shares of its common stock and paid $0.4 million to the former Censa securityholders.

In May 2024, the Company announced the validation and acceptance for review of an MMA for sepiapterin by the EMA for the treatment of PKU. Pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the acceptance triggered a $15.0 million regulatory milestone to the former Censa securityholders. In July 2024, the Company announced the submission of an NDA to the FDA for sepiapterin for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with PKU, including the full spectrum of ages and disease subtypes. Pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the decision to submit the NDA triggered a $25.0 million regulatory milestone to the former Censa securityholders. In September 2024, the Company announced the FDA acceptance for filing of the NDA. Pursuant to the Censa Merger Agreement, the acceptance triggered a $25.0 million regulatory milestone to the former Censa securityholders. Together, the $65.0 million of regulatory milestones were paid

and recorded within research and development expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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.

Marathon was entitled to receive contingent payments from the Company based on annual net sales of Emflaza beginning in 2018, up to a specified aggregate maximum amount over the expected commercial life of the asset, which expired February 2024. In accordance with the guidance for an asset acquisition, the Company recorded the milestone payments when they became payable to Marathon and increased the cost basis for the Emflaza rights intangible asset. As of December 31, 2024, the Emflaza rights intangible asset was fully amortized, therefore, milestones are recorded on the consolidated statement of operations within cost of product sales, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets from February 2024 onward.

Akcea is also entitled to receive royalty payments subject to certain terms set forth in the Tegsedi-Waylivra Agreement related to sales of Waylivra and Tegsedi.

In November 2024, the Company’s BLA for its gene therapy treatment of AADC deficiency was approved by the FDA, and is marketed under the brand name Kebilidi. With these approvals,$10.7 million and$17.4 million for Kebilidi and Upstaza, respectively, was reclassified from the PTC-AADC indefinite lived intangible asset to definite lived intangible assets. The Company will amortize these allocated balances of$10.7 million and$17.4 million over its expected useful life of 12 years on a straight-line basis.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized amortization expense of $60.7 million, $222.6 million, and $116.6 million respectively, related to the Emflaza rights, Waylivra, Tegsedi, and Upstaza/Kebilidi intangible assets.

In connection with the acquisition of the Company’s gene therapy platform from Agilis, the Company acquired rights to Upstaza, for the treatment of AADC deficiency. AADC deficiency is a rare CNS disorder arising from reductions in the enzyme AADC that result from mutations in the dopa decarboxylase gene. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the acquisition cost for the Agilis Merger to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The Company classified the fair value of the acquired IPR&D as indefinite lived intangible assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts.

The Company performed an annual test for its PTC-AADC indefinite-lived intangible asset as of October 1, 2024 and recorded a partial impairment on the PTC-AADC indefinite lived intangible asset of $159.5 million, which is recorded as intangible asset impairment in the statement of operations. The impairment was related to a decrease in projected cash flows due to refinements in current market assumptions and the timing of patient treatments. To calculate the impairment amount, the Company utilized a discounted cash flow model under the income method, which primarily utilized Level 3 fair value inputs. The discount rate utilized in the discounted cash flow model was 15%, and the probability of success was 100% as the Company received regulatory approval in Brazil and the United States.

In connection with the Company’s FDA approval of Kebilidi, the Company received a PRV. The Company sold the PRV for aggregate net proceeds of $150.0 million, excluding $2.0 million in broker fees which were recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. The Company had previously recorded an indefinite lived intangible asset for the PRV of $48.1 million in connection with its acquisition of Agilis in 2018, which was included as part of the book balance of the Company’s PTC-AADC indefinite lived intangible asset. Accordingly, the Company derecognized the book value of the PRV and recorded a gain of $99.9 million upon the sale, which is recorded as gain on sale of priority review voucher on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company reclassified the remaining $28.1 million from the PTC-AADC indefinite lived intangible asset to definite lived intangible assets as denoted above. As such, there isno remaining indefinite lived intangible asset balance as of December 31, 2024.

Goodwill

As a result of the Agilis Merger on August 23, 2018, the Company recorded $82.3 million of goodwill. There have beenno changes to the balance of goodwill since the date of the Agilis Merger. Accordingly, the goodwill balance as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $82.3 million. The Company performed an annual impairment test for goodwill as of October 1, 2024. The Company’s single reporting unit had a negative carrying value and thus the Company determined there wasno impairment of goodwill.
