ALNYLAM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2022

Filed July 28, 2022For Securities:ALNY

Summary

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported total revenues of $224.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, a modest 2% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by a strong 33% increase in Net Product Revenues to $213.5 million, largely from ONPATTRO and GIVLAARI, partially offset by a significant decline in collaboration revenues, notably from Regeneron. The company's Net Loss widened by 46% to $277.4 million for the quarter, reflecting increased operating costs and expenses, particularly in research and development and selling, general, and administrative functions. Despite the widening net loss, the company maintains a substantial cash position and believes it has sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months, supported by ongoing product sales and collaborations. Investors should note the significant decrease in collaboration revenue and the increased operational expenses, while also monitoring the continued growth in product sales and the pipeline's advancement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals reported a 2% increase in total revenues to $224.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. However, net loss widened significantly by 46% to $277.4 million, primarily due to increased operating expenses, particularly in research and development and selling, general, and administrative functions.

The primary driver of revenue growth was a substantial 33% increase in Net Product Revenues to $213.5 million, fueled by strong sales of ONPATTRO and GIVLAARI. This growth was partially offset by a significant decrease in collaboration revenues, mainly from the Regeneron collaboration.

As of June 30, 2022, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals had $577.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. The company believes this liquidity, along with expected cash from product sales and collaborations, is sufficient to support its operations for at least the next 12 months.

Key concerns for investors include the widening net loss, the significant increase in operating expenses (R&D and SG&A), and the substantial decrease in collaboration revenues. While product sales are growing, the increased costs and reduced collaboration income are impacting overall profitability.
