•In June 2024, we announced that the CDER has selected DNL126 (ETV:SGSH) for participation in the FDA's Support for clinical Trials Advancing Rare disease Therapeutics (START) Pilot Program to further accelerate the development of novel drug and biological products for rare diseases. Participation in START is expected to facilitate and accelerate development of DNL126; and

•In July 2024, Biogen terminated its license to the ATV:Abeta program enabled by our TfR-targeting technology against amyloid beta for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease and granted us rights to data generated during the collaboration. As a result of the termination, all rights to develop, manufacture, perform medical affairs activities, and commercialize new TfR-targeting ATV:Abeta therapeutics reverted to us. Biogen licensed our TfR-targeting ATV:Abeta program in April 2023 having exercised an option that was part of the 2020 collaboration agreement between the two companies. Biogen’s decision was not related to any efficacy or safety concerns with the TV platform.

Current report

Collaboration revenue. There was no collaboration revenue for three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $294.1 million and $329.3 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to $293.9 million in revenue recognized in April 2023 under the Biogen Collaboration Agreement as a result of Biogen exercising its option to license our ATV:Abeta program. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in Biogen revenue described above, as well as decreases of revenue earned under the Takeda and Sanofi Collaboration Agreements of $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively.

Current report

•a decrease of$4.9 million in personnel related expenses due to decreases in salary and stock based compensation expenses due to decreased headcount, primarily as a result of the divestiture of our preclinical small molecule programs in March 2024;

Current report

•a decrease in net cost sharing and research funding payments, primarily due to the recognition of $2.3 million of research funding for the LRRK2 program from the Collaboration and Development Funding Agreement executed in January 2024;

Current report

These decreases were partially offset by increases in costs in various clinical stage programs, including of eIF2B ($3.7 million), ETV:SGSH ($0.7 million) and ETV:IDS ($0.4 million) reflecting the continued progress of these programs in clinical trials. Further, there was an increase of $0.6 million in LRRK2 program external expenses due to activities related to our planned Phase 2a study in Parkinson's Disease patients.

Current report

•a decrease of $3.7 million in personnel related expenses due to decreases in salary and stock based compensation expenses due to decreased headcount, primarily as a result of the divestiture of our preclinical small molecule programs in March 2024;

Current report

•a decrease of $3.7 million in other external research and development expenses primarily due to elevated facility costs in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of accelerated depreciation on leasehold improvements associated with the termination of the former SLC Lease; and

Previous wording

•In January 2024, we announced that enrollment continues in the global Phase 2/3 COMPASS study and is expected to be completed in 2024. In February, we presented new positive data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of tividenofusp alfa in MPS II at the 20th Annual WORLD Symposium TM demonstrating sustained normalization of heparan sulfate in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF HS), robust and sustained reductions in biomarkers of lysosomal dysfunction and neuronal damage (NfL; neurofilament light), and improvements and stabilization of multiple clinical outcomes measures over two years of treatment. Also in February, we participated in the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA workshop on CSF HS as a potential surrogate biomarker to support accelerated approval in MPS. Based on continued dialogue with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) division of the FDA in April, we believe the division may be open to discussing an accelerated path for tividenofusp alfa. We look forward to continuing the productive dialogue with CDER and, in parallel, conducting the global Phase 2/3 COMPASS study;

In April, we completed enrollment of 47 participants with MPS II in the Phase 1/2 open-label study. Following the Reagan-Udall Foundation workshop, we received written communication from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research ("CDER") division of the FDA indicating openness to discussing an accelerated approval pathway for tividenofusp alfa in MPS II with cerebrospinal fluid heparan sulfate (CSF HS) as asurrogate biomarker. We look forward to continued engagement with CDER regarding our intention to file for approval of tividenofusp alfa using the accelerated approval pathway. We will provide an update in 2H 2024;

Program expenses include expenses associated with our most advanced product candidates and the discovery and development of backup or next-generation molecules. We also track external expenses associated with our TV platform. These expenses include external expenses incurred by us relating to our Takeda Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi Collaboration Agreement and Biogen Collaboration Agreement. All external costs associated with earlier stage programs, or that benefit the entire portfolio, are tracked as a group. We also incur personnel and other operating expenses for our research and development programs which are presented in aggregate. These expenses primarily relate to salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, facility expenses including rent and depreciation, and lab consumables. Where we share costs with our collaboration partners, such as in our Biogen Collaboration Agreementand Takeda Collaboration Agreement, research and development expenses may include cost sharing reimbursements from, or payments to, our collaboration partners.

It is challenging to predict the nature, timing and estimated long-range costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of, and obtain regulatory approval for, any of our product candidates. This is made more challenging by events outside of our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and increased geopolitical uncertainty. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from sales or licensing of our product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with drug development, including the uncertainty of:

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues recognized and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. In our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024, we described the accounting estimates that we believe involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty which could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
