Full-year 2024 GAAP net income fell to $32,615 thousand from $597,599 thousand in 2023, reflecting $679.4 million of expense for IPR&D assets acquired in the Escient acquisition and a $100.0 million milestone payment to MacroGenics.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities fell to $2.2 billionc at year-end 2024 from $3.7 billion, driven mainly by a $2.0 billion share repurchase in June 2024 and $783 million paid to Escient shareholders.
