ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, manufactures and commercializes novel therapeutics based on RNAi. Our commercial products and broad pipeline of investigational RNAi therapeutics are focused in rare, specialty and select prevalent indications.

As described in Part I, Item 1. “Business” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we currently have five products that have received marketing approval, including one collaborated product, and multiple late-stage investigational programs advancing towards potential commercialization. In Part I, Item 1. “Business” you can also find a summary of key events in 2023 and 2024 to-date related to our marketed products and our clinical development programs.

We have incurred significant losses since we commenced operations in 2002 and as of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $7.01 billion. Historically, we have generated losses principally from costs associated with research and development activities, acquiring, filing and expanding intellectual property rights, and selling, general and administrative costs. As a result of planned expenditures for research and development activities relating to our research platform, our drug development programs, including clinical trial and manufacturing costs, the establishment of late-stage clinical and commercial capabilities, including global commercial operations, continued management and growth of our patent portfolio, collaborations and general corporate activities, we expect to incur additional operating losses. While we believe 2019 was our peak operating loss year, we expect to continue to incur annual operating losses, and will require substantial resources over the next several years as we expand our efforts to discover, develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics, and aim to achieve financial self-sustainability by the end of 2025. We anticipate that our operating results will continue to fluctuate for the foreseeable future, therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods.

We currently have programs focused on a number of therapeutic areas and, as of December 31, 2023, we generate worldwide product revenues from four commercialized products, ONPATTRO, AMVUTTRA, GIVLAARI and OXLUMO, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. However, our ongoing development efforts may not be successful and we may not be able to commence sales of any other products and/or successfully market and sell ONPATTRO, AMVUTTRA, GIVLAARI, OXLUMO or any other approved products in the future. A substantial portion of our total revenues in recent years has been derived from collaboration revenues from collaborations with Roche, Regeneron and Novartis. In addition to revenues from the commercial sales of our approved products and potentially from sales of future products, we expect our sources of potential funding for the next several years to continue to be derived in part from existing and new strategic collaborations. Such collaborations include, or may include in the future, license and other fees, funded research and development, milestone payments and royalties on product sales by our licensors, including royalties on sales of Leqvio made by our collaborator, Novartis, as well as proceeds from the sale of equity or debt.

Net Product Revenues

Net product revenues consist of the following, by product and region:

ONPATTRO

AMVUTTRA

GIVLAARI

OXLUMO

Net product revenues increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the launch of AMVUTTRA in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by a decrease of demand for ONPATTRO due to patient switches to AMVUTTRA. Additional growth was related to an increase in patients on GIVLAARI and OXLUMO.

Please see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for balances and activity in each product revenue allowance and reserve category for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Net Revenues from Collaborations and Royalty Revenue

Net revenues from collaborations and royalty revenue consist of the following:

Net revenues from collaborations increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to revenue recognized under our agreements with Roche and Novartis. During 2023, we recognized $337.8 million of revenue under our Collaboration and License Agreement with Roche, which was executed in July

85

Table of Contents

2023, and under our Novartis Collaboration Agreement we recognized an additional $30.0 million of revenue, compared to 2022, associated with the achievement of specified commercialization and regulatory milestones.

Royalty revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, due to increased royalties earned from global net sales of Leqvio by our collaborator, Novartis.

Recognition of our combined net revenues from collaborations and royalty revenue is dependent on a variety of factors including the level of work reimbursed by collaborators, achievement of milestones under our collaboration agreements, and royalties associated with sales of Leqvio. We expect net revenues from collaboration will decrease in 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily driven by a reduction in the revenues recognized under our Roche Collaboration and License Agreement. We expect our royalty revenues will increase in 2024, as compared to 2023, due to the continued growth of royalties earned from global net sales of Leqvio by our collaborator, Novartis.

The amount of revenue from collaborations that we recognize, in part, is based on estimates of total costs to be incurred. These estimates reflect our historical experiences, current contractual requirements, and forecasted plans of development or manufacturing activities. We adjust these estimates for changes in actual costs incurred, contractual terms, and further forecasts. Such changes in estimates could have a significant impact on revenue and earnings in the period of the adjustment.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses consist of the following:

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net product revenues 21.6 % 15.7 % 17.4 %

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net product revenues increased to 21.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 15.7% for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the following:

•Increased volume and rate of royalties payable on net sales of AMVUTTRA. Our collaborator is eligible to receive tiered royalties of 15% to 30% based on global annual net sales and therefore the growth in AMVUTTRA net sales during 2023 resulted in more net sales and a higher tier rate for the applicable royalties payable; and

•Increased excess and obsolete charges primarily due to cancelling manufacturing commitments and the impairment of ONPATTRO inventory that had been manufactured for future demand associated with the use of patisiran for the treatment of patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy for which we did not receive regulatory approval in the U.S.

We anticipate variability in our cost of goods sold as a percentage of net product revenues in 2024, as compared to 2023. We expect our cost of goods sold will increase during 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily as a result of an expected increase in net product sales as well as increased royalties.

Cost of collaborations and royalties

Cost of collaborations and royalties increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased demand of GalNAc material supplied to our collaborators to support certain product manufacturing and ongoing clinical trials and increased royalties payable to third parties on the net sales of licensed products by Novartis.

We expect our cost of collaborations and royalties will decrease during 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily due to a decrease in demand of GalNAc material supplied to our collaborators in support of certain product manufacturing as our collaborators begin to transition to producing the material independently.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of the following:

Research and development expenses increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the following:

•Increased compensation and related expenses as a result of increased headcount to support our R&D pipeline and development expenses;

•Increased clinical research and outside services primarily associated with zilebesiran as we reached full enrollment for our KARDIA-1 and KARDIA-2 clinical studies and additional costs associated with manufacturing batches associated with those clinical activities. Costs associated with clinical trials of other programs such as ALN-TTRsc04 and our ongoing early development studies also were higher when compared to 2022; and

•Increased occupancy and all other costs as a result of higher costs related to infrastructure and other professional services to support our growing clinical footprint.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in connection with advancing activities under our collaboration agreements, we incurred research and development expenses, primarily related to external development and clinical expenses, including the manufacture of clinical product.

The following table summarizes research and development expenses incurred, for which we recognize revenue, that are directly attributable to our collaboration agreements, by collaborator:

Year Ended December 31,

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of the following:

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased headcount and other investments supporting our strategic growth including the global launch of AMVUTTRA.

We expect that research and development expenses combined with selling, general and administrative expenses will increase during 2024, as compared to 2023, as we continue to advance and develop our platform and pipeline, advance our product candidates, including collaborated programs, into later-stage development, prepare regulatory submissions and continue to build-out our global commercial and compliance infrastructure as well as launch our commercial products into additional

Table of Contents

markets, assuming regulatory approvals. However, we expect that certain expenses will be variable depending on the timing of manufacturing batches, clinical trial enrollment and results, regulatory review of our product candidates and programs, and stock-based compensation expenses due to our determination regarding the probability of vesting for performance-based awards.

Other (Expense) Income

Other (expense) income consists of the following:

Other expense, net

* Indicates the percentage change period over period is greater than 500%.

Total other expense decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased interest income driven by higher market interest rates on our marketable debt securities, decreased interest expense as a result of a more favorable interest rate under the Convertible Senior Notes compared with the interest rate under the credit facility previously held with Blackstone and a $76.6 million loss on the extinguishment of the Blackstone credit agreement recognized in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:

Year Ended December 31, $ Change

Net cash provided by (used in):

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to receipt of a $310.0 million up-front payment received in connection with the Roche Collaboration and License Agreement and $100.0 million payment from Regeneron in connection with achieving certain criteria during early clinical development for our CNS program, ALN-APP, in addition to cash receipts from increased product sales, offset by cash disbursements related to working capital payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to net activities related to our marketable debt securities as a result of an increase of cash invested in marketable debt securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to greater cash received in 2022, including $136.2 million received from the issuance of convertible debt, net of repayment of the credit facility held with Blackstone and purchase of capped call transactions in September 2022, and greater net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with stock option exercises and other types of equity.

Additional Capital Requirements

We currently have programs focused on a number of therapeutic areas and, as of December 31, 2023, have received regulatory approval and commercially launched four products. However, our ongoing development efforts may not be successful and we may not be able to commence sales of any other products or successfully expand the approved indications for our approved products, including AMVUTTRA, in the future. In addition, we anticipate that we will continue to generate losses as a result of planned expenditures for research and development activities relating to our research platform, our drug development programs, including clinical trial and manufacturing costs, the establishment of late-stage clinical, manufacturing, commercial and compliance capabilities, including global operations, continued management and growth of our intellectual property including our patent portfolio, collaborations and general corporate activities.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2023, together with the cash we expect to generate from product sales and under our current collaborations, will be sufficient to satisfy our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months from the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recent and expected working and other capital requirements, in addition to the above matters, also include the items described below:

•Amounts related to future lease payments for operating lease obligations at December 31, 2023 totaled $418.0 million, with $43.6 million expected to be paid within the next 12 months.

Cash outflows for capital expenditures were $62.2 million in 2023 and $72.1 million in 2022. We expect capital expenditures to increase in 2024 to support the increase in our manufacturing and production capacity needs.

•Amounts related to future long-term debt total $1.02 billion, of which we do not expect to make payments on principal within the next 12 months.

•Payments associated with the liability related to the sale of future royalties were approximately $21.6 million in 2023, with an estimated $58.2 million to be paid within the next 12 months.

•Amount associated with the achievement of a development milestone payable to Blackstone was $84.5 million as of December 31, 2023, with $21.1 million to be paid within the next 12 months.

Since we commenced operations in 2002, we have generated significant losses and as of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $7.01 billion. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $2.44 billion, compared to $2.19 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Due to numerous factors described in more detail under the caption Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we may require significant additional funds earlier than we currently expect in order to continue to commercialize ONPATTRO, AMVUTTRA, GIVLAARI and OXLUMO, and to develop, conduct clinical trials for, manufacture and, if approved, commercialize additional product candidates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 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 GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and could have a material impact on our reported results. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe the following accounting policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments and estimates we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements:

Net Product Revenues

Our net product revenues are recognized, net of variable consideration related to certain allowances and accruals, at the time the customer obtains control of our product. We record reserves, based on contractual terms, for components related to product sold during the reporting period, as well as our estimate of product that remains in the distribution channel inventory at the end of the reporting period that we expect will be sold to qualified healthcare providers. On a quarterly basis, we update our estimates and record any needed adjustments in the period we identify the adjustments.

The estimates for our product revenue allowances and accruals are most significantly affected by chargebacks, which are contractual commitments with the government and other entities to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to the customer who directly purchases from us, and rebates that represent discount obligations under government programs, including Medicaid in the U.S. and similar programs in certain other countries, including countries in which we are accruing for estimated rebates because final pricing has not yet been negotiated. We are also subject to potential rebates in connection with our value-based agreements, or VBAs, with certain commercial payors.

89

Table of Contents

We use the expected value method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts, or the most likely amount method, which is the single most likely amount in a range of possible considerations, to estimate variable consideration related to our product revenues. We use the expected value method to estimate variable consideration for chargebacks, certain rebates, and other incentives and we use the most likely amount method for certain rebates and trade discounts and allowances.

A 10% increase or decrease in these estimates impacts net sales by a corresponding increase or decrease of approximately $13.0 million.

Net Revenues from Collaborations

We earn revenue in connection with collaboration agreements which allow our collaborators to utilize our technology platforms and develop product candidates.

For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606, we identify the performance obligations and allocate the total consideration we expect to receive on a relative standalone selling price basis to each performance obligation. Key assumptions to determine the standalone selling price may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, the expected number of targets or indications expected to be pursued under each license, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. We recognize revenue associated with each performance obligation as the control over the promised goods or services transfer to our collaborator which occurs either at a point in time or over time. If control transfers over time, revenue is recognized by using a method of measuring progress that best depicts the transfer of goods or services, for example based on actual costs incurred relative to total forecasted costs to be incurred over the period the transfer of goods or services occurs. We evaluate the measure of progress and related inputs each reporting period and any resulting adjustments to revenue are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis. Revenue to be recognized is equal to the total transaction price multiplied by the ratio of actual expense incurred divided by total forecasted expense.

A 10% increase or decrease in the transaction price impacts net revenues from collaborators by a corresponding increase or decrease of approximately $43.0 million. A 10% increase or decrease in the total forecasted costs to be incurred over the period the transfer of goods or services occurs impacts net revenues from collaborators by a corresponding decrease or increase of approximately $39.0 million.

Liability Related to the Sale of Future Royalties

We account for the liability related to the sale of future royalties as a debt financing, as we have significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows. Interest on the liability related to the sale of future royalties will be recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the related royalty stream.

The liability related to the sale of future royalties and the related interest expense are based on our current estimates of future royalties and commercial milestones expected to be paid over the life of the arrangement, which we determine by using third-party forecasts of Leqvio’s global net revenue. Third-party forecasts are updated periodically as new data is obtained with respect to Leqvio’s global launch progress or as sales information becomes available. Increases, decreases or a shift in timing of estimated revenues affects the interest rate utilized in the calculation of the liability related to the sale of future royalties.

An increase or decrease of 10% to the interest rate would result in an increase or decrease to our liability related to the sale of future royalties of approximately $33.9 million.

Development Derivative Liability

In August 2020, we entered into a co-development agreement, referred to as the Funding Agreement, with BXLS V Bodyguard – PCP L.P. and BXLS Family Investment Partnership V – ESC L.P., collectively referred to as Blackstone Life Sciences, pursuant to which Blackstone Life Sciences will provide up to $150.0 million in funding for the clinical development of vutrisiran and zilebesiran, two of our cardiometabolic programs. As consideration for Blackstone Life Sciences’ funding for certain vutrisiran and zilebesiran clinical development costs, we have agreed to pay Blackstone Life Sciences fixed success-based payments upon achievement of specific milestones for vutrisiran and zilebesiran as well as a 1% royalty on net sales of vutrisiran for ten years.

The development derivative liability is recorded at fair value and represents our current estimate of the expected future payments to Blackstone Life Sciences. The development derivative liability is based on the probability weighted present value of the estimated cash flows pursuant to contractual terms of the Funding Agreement. The most significant assumptions in determining the development derivative liability are the probability of success for the clinical development and regulatory approval of vutrisiran and zilebesiran and our current cost of borrowing. Estimates of the probability of success and our cost of borrowing are based on what we believe to be reasonable and supportable assumptions and require management’s judgment. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please read Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk - Investment Portfolio. We invest a portion of our cash in a number of diversified fixed- and floating-rate securities consisting of cash equivalents and marketable debt securities related to our investment portfolio that are subject to interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect the fair value of our investment portfolio. If interest rates in the general economy were to rise, our holdings could lose value. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points across the entire yield curve on our holdings would have resulted in an immaterial decrease to the fair value of our holdings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. As a result of our foreign operations, we face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Euro and Yen against the U.S. Dollar. Fluctuations in the global markets may have a positive or negative effect on our foreign exchange rate exposure. The current exposures arise primarily from net product revenue, operating costs and expenses and balance sheet amounts. Therefore, significant changes in foreign exchange rates of the countries outside the United States where our products are sold, where development expenses are incurred by us or our collaborators, or where we incur operating expenses can impact our operating results and financial condition. As sales outside the United States continue to grow, and as we expand our international operations, we will continue to assess potential steps, including foreign currency hedging and other strategies, to mitigate our foreign exchange risk.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of stockholders’ (deficit) equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or

93

complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties and Commercial Milestones

As described in Notes 2 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the liability related to the sale of future royalties and the related interest expense are based on management’s current estimates of future royalties and commercial milestones expected to be paid over the life of the arrangement. Interest on the liability related to the sale of future royalties will be recognized using the effective interest rate method, resulting in the recognition of interest expense. Management periodically assesses the expected payments and to the extent the amount or timing of the future estimated payments is materially different than the previous estimates, management accounts for any such change by adjusting the liability related to the sale of future royalties and prospectively recognizing the related non-cash interest expense. Management’s estimate of the amount of expected future payments to Blackstone over the life of the arrangement is based on the estimated global net sales of Leqvio. The Company recorded a liability related to the sale of future royalties of $1.38 billion as of December 31, 2023 and recognized interest expense on the liability related to the sale of future royalties of $106.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the liability related to the sale of future royalties and commercial milestones is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the estimate of the timing and amount of future royalties and commercial milestones to be paid. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence relating to management’s estimate of the expected future royalties and commercial milestones to be paid and the selection of third party data used to estimate global net sales of Leqvio.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the liability for future royalties and commercial milestones, including controls over management’s process for developing the estimate of timing and amount of future royalties and commercial milestones to be paid. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the estimate of timing and amount of future royalties and commercial milestones to be paid and (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management when developing the estimate of expected future royalties and commercial milestones to be paid related to the selection of third party data used to estimate global net sales of Leqvio. Evaluating management’s assumption related to the selection of third-party data used to estimate global net sales of Leqvio involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering consistency with industry data.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (also referred to as Alnylam, we, our or us) commenced operations on June 14, 2002 as a biopharmaceutical company seeking to develop and commercialize novel therapeutics based on ribonucleic acid interference, or RNAi. We are committed to the advancement of our company strategy of building a multi-product, global, commercial biopharmaceutical company with a deep and sustainable clinical pipeline of RNAi therapeutics for future growth and a robust, organic research engine for sustainable innovation and great potential for patient impact. Since inception, we have focused on discovering, developing and commercializing RNAi therapeutics by establishing and maintaining a strong intellectual property position in the RNAi field, establishing strategic alliances with leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, generating revenues through licensing agreements, and ultimately developing and commercializing RNAi therapeutics globally, either independently or with our strategic partners. We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to business planning, research, development, manufacturing and commercial efforts, acquiring, filing and expanding intellectual property rights, recruiting management and technical staff, and raising capital.

In early 2021, we launched our Alnylam P5x25 strategy, which focuses on our planned transition to a top-tier biotech company by the end of 2025. With Alnylam P5x25, we aim to deliver transformative rare and prevalent disease medicines for patients around the world through sustainable innovation, while delivering exceptional financial performance and driving profitability.

As of December 31, 2023, we have five marketed products, including one collaborated product, and multiple late-stage investigational programs advancing towards potential commercialization. We currently generate worldwide product revenues from four commercialized products, ONPATTRO, AMVUTTRA, GIVLAARI and OXLUMO, primarily in the United States, or U.S., and Europe.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Alnylam and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions related to our inventory valuation and related reserves, liability related to the sale of future royalties, development derivative liability, income taxes, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, revenue recognition, research and development expenses, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Liquidity

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2023 will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months from the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were invested in money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes, U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities and U.S. treasury securities through highly rated financial institutions. Corporate notes may also include foreign bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. Investments are restricted, in accordance with our investment policy, to a concentration limit per issuer.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our revenues were generated primarily from product sales to customers and collaborations with strategic partners. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our gross accounts receivable balance was comprised of payments primarily due from customers for product sales and our strategic partners.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable, such as quoted prices (adjusted), interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy level is determined by the lowest level of significant input.

Investments in Marketable Securities and Cash Equivalents

We invest our excess cash balances in marketable debt securities and classify our investments as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale based on facts and circumstances present at the time we purchased the securities. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we classified all of our investments in debt securities as available-for-sale and as current assets as they represent the investment of funds available for current operations. We report available-for-sale debt securities at fair value at each balance sheet date, for which fair value measurement data is obtained from independent pricing services, and include any unrealized holding gains and losses (the adjustment to fair value) in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are included in other expense, net. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the marketable debt securities, we consider all available evidence to evaluate if an impairment loss exists, and if so, mark the investment to market through a charge to our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We did not record any impairment charges related to our marketable debt securities during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021. Our marketable debt securities are classified as cash equivalents if the original maturity, from the date of purchase, is 90 days or less, and as marketable debt securities if the original maturity, from the date of purchase, is in excess of 90 days. Our cash equivalents are generally composed of commercial paper, corporate notes, U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities, U.S. treasury securities, money market funds and certificates of deposit.

We measure marketable equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of an investee), which have readily available prices, at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Accounts Receivable

We record accounts receivable net of customer allowances for distribution services, prompt payment discounts and chargebacks based on contractual terms. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, based on our estimation of expected write-offs, we determined an allowance for doubtful accounts was not material. We have standard payment terms that generally require payment within approximately 30 to 90 days. Accounts receivable, net on our consolidated balance sheets also includes billed and unbilled collaboration receivables and royalty receivables.

Inventory

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value and classified based on the anticipation of when it will be consumed either within our normal operating cycle (short-term) or beyond (long-term). We use a standard cost basis, which approximates cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include all raw materials, direct conversion costs and overhead. Raw and intermediate materials that may be used for either research and development or commercial purposes are classified as inventory until the material is consumed or otherwise allocated for research and development. If the material is used for research and development, it is expensed as research and development once that determination is made.

We capitalize inventory costs that are expected to be sold commercially once we determine it is probable that the inventory costs will be recovered through commercial sale based on the review of several factors, including (i) the likelihood that all required regulatory approvals will be received, considering any special filing status, (ii) the expected timing of validation (if not yet completed) of manufacturing processes in the associated facility, (iii) the expected expiration of the inventory, (iv) logistical or commercial constraints that may impede the timely distribution and sale of the product, including transport requirements and reimbursement status, (v) current market factors, including competitive landscape and pricing, (vi) threatened or anticipated litigation challenges, (vii) history of approvals of similar products or formulations, and (viii) FDA (or other appropriate regulatory agencies) correspondence regarding the safety and efficacy of the product. Prior to the capitalization of inventory costs, we record such costs as research and development expenses on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

We reduce our inventory to net realizable value for potentially excess, dated or obsolete inventory based on our quarterly assessment of the recoverability of our capitalized inventory. We periodically review inventory levels to identify what may expire prior to expected sale or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value and write-down such inventories as appropriate.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Construction in progress reflects amounts incurred for construction or improvements of property, plant or equipment that have not been placed in service. Costs of construction of certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective asset category, and any gain or loss is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $51.6 million, $39.1 million and $36.8 million, respectively, of depreciation expense related to our property, plant and equipment.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Asset Category Useful Life

Laboratory equipment 5

Computer equipment and software 3-10 years

Furniture and fixtures 5

Leasehold improvements Shorter of asset life or lease term

Manufacturing Equipment 7-15 years

Buildings 40 years

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception based on the facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. We record operating lease assets and lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the leasing arrangement. Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, in determining the operating lease liabilities, we use an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term leases, or leases that have a lease term of 12

101

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

months or less at commencement date, are excluded from this treatment and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Clinical Accruals

We record accrued liabilities related to products we have received or services that we have incurred, specifically related to ongoing pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, for which service providers have not yet billed us, or when billing terms under these contracts do not coincide with the timing of when the work is performed, as of our period-end. These costs primarily relate to third-party clinical management costs, laboratory and analysis costs, toxicology studies and investigator fees. The assessment of these costs is a subjective process, requiring judgment based on our knowledge of the research and development programs, services performed for the period, experience with related activities and the expected duration of the third-party service contract, where applicable. Upon settlement, these costs may differ materially from the amounts accrued in our consolidated financial statements. Our historical accrual estimates have not been materially different from our actual costs.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation(s). We only apply the five-step model to contracts when collectability of the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer is determined to be probable.

At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606, we assess whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct and, therefore, represent a separate performance obligation. Goods and services that are determined not to be distinct are combined with other promised goods and services until a distinct bundle is identified. We then allocate the transaction price (the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to from a customer in exchange for the promised goods or services) to each performance obligation and recognize the associated revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. Our estimate of the transaction price for each contract includes all variable consideration to which we expect to be entitled.

Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. We do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that we would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had not capitalized any costs to obtain any of our contracts.

Net Product Revenues

Our net product revenues are recognized, net of variable consideration related to certain allowances and accruals, at the time the customer obtains control of our product. We use the expected value method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts, or the most likely amount method, which is the single most likely amount in a range of possible considerations, to estimate variable consideration related to our product sales. We use the expected value method to estimate variable consideration for certain rebates, chargebacks, product returns, and other incentives and we use the most likely amount method for certain rebates, trade discounts and allowances.

We record reserves, based on contractual terms, for components related to product sold during the reporting period, as well as our estimate of product that remains in the distribution channel inventory at the end of the reporting period that we expect will be sold to qualified healthcare providers. On a quarterly basis, we update our estimates and record any needed adjustments in the period we identify the adjustments. The following are the components of variable consideration related to product revenues:

Chargebacks: We estimate obligations resulting from contractual commitments with the government and other entities to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to the customer who directly purchases from us. The customer charges us for the difference between what it pays to us for the product and the selling price to the qualified healthcare providers.

Rebates: We are subject to discount obligations under government programs, including Medicaid in the U.S. and similar programs in certain other countries, including countries in which we are accruing for estimated rebates because final pricing has not yet been negotiated. We are also subject to potential rebates in connection with our value-based agreements with certain commercial payors. We record reserves for rebates in the same period the related product revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenues and a current liability that is included in accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet. Our

102

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

estimate for rebates is based on statutory discount rates, expected utilization or an estimated number of patients on treatment, as applicable.

Trade discounts and allowances: We provide customary invoice discounts on product sales to our customers for prompt payment and we pay fees for distribution services, such as fees for certain data that customers provide to us. We estimate our customers will earn these discounts and fees, and deduct these discounts and fees in full from gross product revenues and accounts receivable at the time we recognize the related revenues.

Product returns: We offer customers product return rights if products are damaged, defective or expired, with “expired” defined within each customer agreement. We estimate the amount of product that will be returned based on our sales history.

Other incentives: Other incentives include co-payment assistance we provide to patients with commercial insurance that have coverage and reside in states that allow co-payment assistance. We estimate the average co-payment assistance amounts for our products based on expected customer demographics and record any such amounts within accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet.

Net Revenues from Collaborations

We earn revenue in connection with collaboration agreements which allow our collaborators to utilize our technology platforms and develop product candidates. Our significant collaboration agreements are detailed in Note 4, Net Revenues from Collaborations. For each collaborators, we discuss our revenue recognition, including our significant performance obligations under each agreement.

At contract inception, we assess whether the collaboration arrangements are within the scope of ASC 606 or ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements, or ASC 808, to determine whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities. This assessment is performed based on the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement. For collaboration arrangements within the scope of ASC 808 that contain multiple elements, we first determine which elements of the arrangement are within the scope of ASC 808 and which elements are within the scope of ASC 606. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 808, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, either by analogy to authoritative accounting literature or by applying a reasonable and rational policy election.

For elements of collaboration arrangements that are accounted for pursuant to ASC 606, we identify the performance obligations and allocate the total consideration we expect to receive on a relative standalone selling price basis to each performance obligation. Variable consideration, such as performance-based milestones, will be included in the total consideration if we expect to receive such consideration and if it is probable that the inclusion of the variable consideration will not result in a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized under the arrangement. Our estimate of the total consideration we expect to receive under each collaboration arrangement is updated for each reporting period, and any adjustments to revenue are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis. We exclude sales-based royalty and milestone payments from the total consideration we expect to receive until the underlying sales occur because the license to our intellectual property is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties or milestones relate as it is the primary driver of value in our collaboration arrangements.

Key assumptions to determine the standalone selling price may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. We recognize revenue associated with each performance obligation as the control over the promised goods or services transfer to our collaborator which occurs either at a point in time or over time. If control transfers over time, revenue is recognized by using a method of measuring progress that best depicts the transfer of goods or services. We evaluate the measure of progress and related inputs each reporting period and any resulting adjustments to revenue are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Consideration received that does not meet the requirements to satisfy ASC 808 or ASC 606 revenue recognition criteria is recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, classified as either short-term (less than 12 months) or long-term (more than 12 months) deferred revenue based on our best estimate of when such revenue will be recognized.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the cost of producing and distributing inventories that are related to product revenues during the respective period (including salary-related and stock-based compensation expenses for employees involved with production and distribution, freight and indirect overhead costs), third-party royalties payable on our net product revenues and amortization of intangible assets associated with the sale of our products. Cost of goods sold may also include costs related to excess or obsolete inventory adjustment charges, abnormal costs, unabsorbed manufacturing and overhead costs, and manufacturing variances.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cost of Collaborations and Royalties

Cost of collaborations and royalties includes costs we incur in connection with providing commercial drug supplies, such as GalNAc material, to collaborators, in addition to royalties we owe to third parties on the net sales of licensed products.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

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. We develop our cumulative probability assessment of the measurement of uncertain tax positions using internal experience, judgment and assistance from professional advisors. We re-evaluate 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.

Research and Development Expenses

We record research and development expenses as incurred. Included in research and development expenses are wages, stock-based compensation expenses, benefits and other operating costs, facilities, supplies, external services, clinical trial and manufacturing costs, certain costs related to our collaboration arrangements, and overhead directly related to our research and development operations, as well as costs to acquire technology licenses.

We have entered into several license agreements for rights to utilize certain technologies. The terms of the licenses may provide for upfront payments, annual maintenance payments, milestone payments based upon certain specified events being achieved and royalties on product sales. We charge costs to acquire and maintain licensed technology that has not reached technological feasibility and does not have alternative future use to research and development expense as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we charged to research and development expense costs associated with license fees of $5.8 million, $7.3 million and $16.8 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize stock-based compensation expense for grants under our stock incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan. We account for all stock-based awards granted to employees at their fair value and recognize compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. Determining the amount of stock-based compensation to be recorded requires us to develop estimates of fair values of stock awards as of the grant date. We calculate the grant date fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including but not limited to expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and the expected term of stock options. The fair value of restricted stock awards granted to employees is based upon the quoted closing market price per share on the date of grant.

We have performance conditions included in certain of our restricted stock awards that are based upon the achievement of pre-specified clinical development, regulatory, commercial and/or financial performance events. As the outcome of each event has inherent risk and uncertainties, and a positive outcome may not be known until the event is achieved, we begin to recognize the value of the performance-based restricted stock awards when we determine the achievement of each performance condition is deemed probable, a determination which requires significant judgment by management. At the probable date, we record a cumulative expense catch-up, with remaining expense amortized over the remaining service period.

Liability Related to the Sale of Future Royalties

We account for the liability related to the sale of future royalties as a debt financing, as we have significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows. Interest on the liability related to the sale of future royalties will be recognized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the related royalty stream.

The liability related to the sale of future royalties and the related interest expense are based on our current estimates of future royalties and commercial milestones expected to be paid over the life of the arrangement, which we determine by using third-party forecasts of Leqvio’s global net revenue. We will periodically assess the expected payments and to the extent the amount or timing of our future estimated payments is materially different than our previous estimates, we will account for any such change by adjusting the liability related to the sale of future royalties and prospectively recognizing the related non-cash interest expense.

Development Derivative Liability

Development derivative liability is recorded at fair value based on the probability weighted present value of the estimated cash flows pursuant to contractual terms of the funding agreement. The liability is remeasured quarterly with any change in fair value recorded in other expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and certain changes in stockholders’ deficit that are excluded from net loss. We include unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities in other comprehensive loss, including changes in the value of our marketable debt securities, foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive (if the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) and certain changes in the fair value of the plan assets and projected benefit obligation attributed to our defined benefit pension plan.

Net Loss per Common Share

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted net loss per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding during the period. In the diluted net loss per share calculation, net loss is adjusted for the elimination of interest expense on the convertible debt. Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units, the exercise of stock options (the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding shares using the treasury stock method) and upon conversion of the convertible debt outstanding during the period (calculated using the if-converted method assuming the conversion of the convertible debt as of the earliest period reported or at the date of issuance, if later). Because the inclusion of potential common shares would be anti-dilutive for periods presenting a net loss, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share.

The following table sets forth the potential common shares (prior to consideration of the treasury stock or if-converted methods) excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Segment Information

We operate in a single reporting segment, the discovery, development and commercialization of RNAi therapeutics. Consistent with our management reporting, results of our operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, substantially all of our consolidated property, plant and equipment, net, was from U.S. operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, net revenues from collaborations were attributed to the U.S. Please read Note 3 for information regarding our net product sales by geography.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standard Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through additional disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

Year Ended December 31,

The following table presents the balance of our receivables and contract liabilities related to our collaboration agreements:

As of December 31,

Receivables included in “Accounts receivable, net” $ 99,576 $ 32,342

Contract liabilities included in “Deferred revenue” $ 290,763 $ 235,528

We recognized revenue of $40.5 million and $55.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period.

To determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. If additional consideration is received on those contracts in subsequent periods, we assume all revenue recognized in the reporting period first applies to the beginning contract liability as opposed to a portion applying to the new consideration for the period.

The following table provides research and development expenses incurred by type, for which we recognize revenue, that are directly attributable to our collaboration agreements, by collaborator:

Year Ended December 31,

The research and development expenses incurred for the agreements included in the table above consist of costs incurred for (i) clinical expenses, including manufacturing of clinical product, (ii) external services, including consulting services and lab supplies and services, and (iii) other expenses, including professional services, facilities and overhead allocations, and a reasonable estimate of compensation and related costs as billed to our counterparties, for which we recognize net revenues from

Under the Roche Agreement, we granted to Roche (i) co-exclusive rights to develop zilebesiran worldwide and commercialize zilebesiran in the U.S., referred to as the Co-Commercialization Territory, (ii) exclusive rights to commercialize zilebesiran outside of the U.S., referred to as the Roche Territory, and (iii) non-exclusive rights to manufacture zilebesiran for the development and commercialization of zilebesiran in the Roche Territory. In connection with the Roche Agreement, Roche made an upfront, non-refundable payment of $310.0 million. In addition, we will be eligible to receive up to $1.24 billion in contingent payments based on the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones and up to $1.28 billion in sales-based milestones.

We will lead the global clinical development for zilebesiran. We will be responsible for forty percent (40%) and Roche will be responsible for the remaining sixty percent (60%) of development costs incurred in the conduct of development activities that support regulatory approval of zilebesiran globally. We and Roche will share equally (50/50) all costs incurred in connection with development activities that are conducted to support regulatory approval of zilebesiran solely in the Co-Commercialization Territory if incremental development activities are needed. Roche will be solely responsible for all costs incurred in the conduct of development activities primarily to support regulatory approval in the Roche Territory if incremental development activities are needed. Upon regulatory approval Roche has the exclusive right to commercialize zilebesiran in the Roche Territory and will pay us tiered, low double-digit royalties based on net sales of zilebesiran on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis during the applicable royalty term. We and Roche will co-commercialize zilebesiran in the Co-Commercialization Territory and share equally (50/50) profits and losses (including commercialization costs).

Roche has the right to terminate the Roche Agreement for any or no reason at all upon prior written notice, however, if the termination notice occurs after the achievement of the first development milestone and before the achievement of the third development milestone, Roche is required to pay us a termination fee of $50.0 million. In addition, either party may terminate the Roche Agreement for a material breach by, or insolvency of, the other party, subject to a cure period. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, the Roche Agreement commences on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until expiration on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis (a) in the Roche Territory, upon expiration of the applicable royalty term for such product in the applicable country and (b) in the Co-Commercialization Territory, upon expiration of the term of the co-commercialization efforts for the applicable product.

Due to the uncertainty of pharmaceutical development and the high historical failure rates generally associated with drug development, we may not receive any milestone, royalty or profit share payments from Roche under the Roche Agreement.

We evaluated the Roche Agreement and concluded that the Roche Agreement had elements that were within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements.

As of the Effective Date, we identified the following promises in the Roche Agreement that were evaluated under the scope of ASC 606: delivery of (i) a co-exclusive license to develop zilebesiran worldwide and commercialize zilebesiran within the Co-Commercialization Territory, a non-exclusive license to manufacture zilebesiran in the Roche Territory solely for purposes of developing and commercializing zilebesiran in the Roche Territory, and an exclusive license to commercialize zilebesiran in the Roche Territory, collectively referred to as Roche License Obligation, (ii) development services, including the manufacture of clinical supply, that support regulatory approval of zilebesiran, referred to as the Roche Development Services Obligation, and (iii) technology transfer of the existing manufacturing process for zilebesiran, referred to as the Roche Technology Transfer Obligation. The three performance obligations under the Roche Agreement are collectively referred to as the Roche Performance Obligations.

We also evaluated whether certain options outlined within the Roche Agreement represented material rights that would give rise to a performance obligation and concluded that none of the options convey a material right to Roche and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations within the Roche Agreement.

We assessed the above promises and determined that the Roche License Obligation, Roche Development Services Obligation and Roche Technology Transfer Obligation are reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and therefore represent performance obligations within the scope of ASC 606. The Roche License Obligation is considered functional intellectual property and distinct from other promises under the contract as Roche can benefit from the licenses on its own or together with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

other readily available resources. As the licenses are delivered at the same time, they are considered one performance obligation at contract inception. The Roche Development Services Obligation is considered distinct as Roche can benefit from the development services together with the licenses transferred by us at the inception of the agreement. The development services are not expected to significantly modify or customize the initial intellectual property as zilebesiran is in the second phase of clinical development. The Roche Technology Transfer Obligation is distinct as Roche can benefit from the manufacturing license transferred by us at the inception of the agreement given the advancements of our RNAi platform and our utilization of third-party contract manufacturing organizations to manufacture zilebesiran. Therefore, each represents a separate performance obligation within the contract with a customer under the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception.

We consider the collaborative activities associated with the co-commercialization of zilebesiran in the U.S. to be a separate unit of account within the scope of ASC 808 as we and Roche are both active participants in the commercialization activities and are exposed to significant risks and rewards that are dependent on the commercial success of the activities in the arrangement.

We determined the transaction price under ASC 606 at the inception of the Roche Agreement to be $857.0 million, consisting of the $310.0 million up front payment and $547.0 million additional variable consideration attributed to cost reimbursement from development and manufacturing services and technology transfer related to the Roche Performance Obligations. Since the variable consideration allocated to the Roche Development Services Obligation and the Roche Technology Transfer Obligation would be recognized as revenue only as the costs are incurred, we determined it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would occur. We utilized the expected value method to determine the amount of reimbursement for these activities. We determined that any variable consideration related to development and regulatory milestones is deemed to be fully constrained and therefore excluded from the transaction price due to the high degree of uncertainty and risk associated with these potential payments as we determine that we cannot assert that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. We also determined that royalties and sales milestones relate solely to the licenses of intellectual property and are therefore excluded from the transaction price under the sales-or-usage based royalty exception of ASC 606.

We developed the estimated standalone selling price for each of the Roche Performance Obligations with the objective of determining the price at which we would sell such an item if it were to be sold regularly on a standalone basis. We developed the estimated standalone selling price for the Roche License Obligation primarily based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future cash flows associated with each underlying license or activity. In developing such estimates, we applied judgment in determining the forecasted revenues, taking into consideration the applicable market conditions and relevant entity-specific factors, the probability of success, the time needed to develop zilebesiran and the discount rate. We developed the estimated standalone selling price for the services and clinical supply included in the Roche Development Services Obligation and the Roche Technology Transfer Obligation primarily based on the level of effort necessary to perform the service and the costs for full-time equivalent employees and expected resources to be committed plus a reasonable margin.

We allocated the variable consideration related to the estimated reimbursements for the Roche Development Services Obligation and the Roche Technology Transfer Obligation to each performance obligation as the terms of the variable payment relate specifically to our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation and allocating the variable amount of consideration entirely to the respective performance obligation is consistent with the allocation objective of ASC 606 when considering all of the performance obligations and payment terms in the contract. We allocated the fixed up-front consideration of $310.0 million entirely to the Roche License Obligation as the value of the fixed consideration together with the expected value of the development and regulatory milestones, sales-based milestones and royalties, all of which are either currently constrained or subject to the sales-and usage-based royalty exception, approximates the standalone selling price of the Roche License Obligation. Therefore, allocating the fixed up-front consideration entirely to the Roche License Obligation is consistent with the allocation objective of ASC 606 when considering all of the performance obligations and payment terms in the contract.

The Roche License Obligation was satisfied at a point in time upon transfer of the license to Roche. Control of the licenses was transferred on the Effective Date and Roche could begin to use and benefit from the licenses. For the Roche Development Services Obligation, we measure proportional performance over time using an input method based on cost incurred relative to the total estimated cost of the obligation, on a quarterly basis, by determining the proportion of effort incurred as a percentage of total effort we expect to expend. This ratio is applied to the transaction price allocated to the obligation. Management has applied significant judgment in the process of developing our estimates. We re-evaluate the transaction price as of the end of each reporting period.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

During 2019, we entered into a global, strategic collaboration with Regeneron to discover, develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing therapeutic targets expressed in the eye and central nervous system, or CNS, in addition to a select number of targets expressed in the liver, which we refer to as the Regeneron Collaboration. The Regeneron Collaboration is governed by a Master Agreement, referred to as the Regeneron Master Agreement. In connection with the Regeneron Master Agreement, we and Regeneron entered into (i) a co-co collaboration agreement covering the continued development of cemdisiran, our C5 small interfering RNA, or siRNA, currently in development for C5 complement-mediated diseases, as a monotherapy and (ii) a license agreement to evaluate anti-C5 antibody-siRNA combinations for C5 complement-mediated diseases including evaluating the combination of Regeneron’s pozelimab and cemdisiran.

Under the terms of the Regeneron Collaboration, we are working exclusively with Regeneron to discover RNAi therapeutics for eye and CNS diseases for an initial research period of approximately five years, which we refer to as the Initial Research Term. Regeneron has an option to extend the Initial Research Term (referred to as the Research Term Extension Period, and together with the Initial Research Term, the Research Term) for up to an additional five years, for a research term extension fee of $300.0 million. The Regeneron Collaboration also covers a select number of RNAi therapeutic programs designed to target genes expressed in the liver, including our previously announced collaboration with Regeneron to identify RNAi therapeutics for the chronic liver disease nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We retain broad global rights to all of our other unpartnered liver-directed clinical and pre-clinical pipeline programs. The Regeneron Collaboration is governed by a joint steering committee that is comprised of an equal number of representatives from each party.

Regeneron leads development and commercialization for all programs targeting eye diseases (subject to limited exceptions), entitling us to certain potential milestone and royalty payments pursuant to the terms of a license agreement, the form of which has been agreed upon by the parties. We and Regeneron are alternating leadership on CNS and liver programs covered by the Regeneron Collaboration, with the lead party retaining global development and commercial responsibility. For such CNS and liver programs, both we and Regeneron have the option at lead candidate selection to enter into a co-co collaboration agreement, the form of which has been agreed upon by the parties, whereby both companies will share equally all costs of, and profits from, all development and commercialization activities under the program. If the non-lead party elects to not enter into a co-co collaboration agreement with respect to a given CNS or liver program, we and Regeneron will enter into a license agreement with respect to such program and the lead party will be the “Licensee” for the purposes of the license agreement. If the lead party for a CNS or liver program elects to not enter into the co-co collaboration agreement, then we and Regeneron will enter into a license agreement with respect to such program and leadership of the program will transfer to the other party and the former non-lead party will be the “Licensee” for the purposes of the license agreement.

With respect to the programs directed to C5 complement-mediated diseases, we retain control of cemdisiran monotherapy development, and Regeneron is leading combination product development. Pursuant to the C5 co-co collaboration agreement, Regeneron notified us in November 2022 of its decision to exercise its right to opt-out of the further development and commercialization of cemdisiran monotherapy. As a result, Regeneron no longer shares costs and potential future profits on any monotherapy program with us. We continue to perform our obligations under the agreement, and we are solely responsible for all development and commercialization costs. Regeneron will be eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. Under the C5 license agreement, for cemdisiran to be used as part of a combination product, Regeneron is solely responsible for all development and commercialization costs and we will receive low double-digit royalties and commercial milestones of up to $325.0 million on any potential combination product sales. The C5 co-co collaboration agreement, the C5 license agreement, and the Master Agreement have been combined for accounting purposes and treated as a single agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the Regeneron Master Agreement, Regeneron made an upfront payment of $400.0 million. In 2023, we received a $100.0 million milestone payment upon satisfying certain criteria during early clinical development for our CNS program, ALN-APP. We are also eligible to receive up to an additional $100.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of certain criteria during early clinical development for an eye program. We and Regeneron plan to advance programs directed to up to 30 targets in the first five years under the Regeneron Collaboration during the Initial Research Term. For each program, Regeneron will provide us with $2.5 million in funding at program initiation and an additional $2.5 million at lead candidate identification, with the potential for approximately $30.0 million in annual discovery funding to us as the Regeneron Collaboration reaches steady state.

Regeneron has the right to terminate the Regeneron Master Agreement for convenience upon ninety days’ notice. The termination of the Regeneron Master Agreement does not affect the term of any license agreement or co-co collaboration agreement then in effect. In addition, either party may terminate the Regeneron Master Agreement for a material breach by, or insolvency of, the other party. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, the Regeneron Master Agreement will remain in effect with respect to each program until (a) such program becomes a terminated program or (b) the parties enter into a license agreement or co-co collaboration agreement with respect to such program. The Regeneron Master Agreement includes various representations, warranties, covenants, dispute escalation and resolution mechanisms, indemnities and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

For any license agreement subsequently entered into, the licensee will generally be responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development and commercialization of the collaboration products. The licensee will pay to the licensor certain development and/or commercialization milestone payments totaling up to $150.0 million for each collaboration product. In addition, following the first commercial sale of the applicable collaboration product under a license agreement, the licensee is required to make certain tiered royalty payments, ranging from low double-digits up to 20%, to the licensor based on the aggregate annual sales of the collaboration product, subject to customary reductions.

For any co-co collaboration agreement subsequently entered into, we and Regeneron will share equally all costs of, and profits from, development and commercialization activities. Reimbursement of our share of costs will be recognized as a reduction to research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In the event that a party exercises its opt-out right, the lead party will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development and commercialization of the collaboration products under the applicable co-co collaboration agreement, subject to continued sharing of costs through defined points. If a party exercises its opt-out right, following the first commercial sale of the applicable collaboration product under a co-co collaboration agreement, the lead party is required to make certain tiered royalty payments, ranging from low double-digits up to 20%, to the other party based on the aggregate annual net sales of the collaboration product and the timing of the exercise of the opt-out right, subject to customary reductions and a reduction for opt-out transition costs.

Due to the uncertainty of pharmaceutical development and the high historical failure rates generally associated with drug development, we may not receive any additional milestone or royalty payments from Regeneron under the Regeneron Master Agreement, the C5 license agreement, or any future license agreement, or under any co-co collaboration agreement in the event we exercise our opt-out right.

Our obligations under the Regeneron Collaboration include: (i) a research license and research services, collectively referred to as the Research Services Obligation; (ii) a worldwide license to cemdisiran for combination therapies, and manufacturing and supply, and development service obligations, collectively referred to as the C5 License Obligation; and (iii) development, manufacturing and commercialization activities for cemdisiran monotherapies, referred to as the C5 Co-Co Obligation.

The research license is not distinct from the research services primarily as a result of Regeneron being unable to benefit on its own or with other resources reasonably available, as the license is providing access to specialized expertise, particularly as it relates to RNAi technology, which was not available in the marketplace when the Regeneron Collaboration was executed. Similarly, the worldwide license to cemdisiran for combination therapies is not distinct from the manufacturing and supply, and development service obligations, as Regeneron cannot benefit on its own from the value of the license without receipt of supply.

Separately, prior to Regeneron’s decision in November 2022 to exercise its right to opt-out of the further development and commercialization of cemdisiran monotherapy, the cemdisiran monotherapy co-co collaboration agreement was under the scope of ASC 808 as we and Regeneron were both active participants in the development and manufacturing activities and were exposed to significant risks and rewards that were dependent on commercial success of the activities of the arrangement. Regeneron’s decision to exercise its right to opt-out of the arrangement caused a change in the role of Regeneron and its exposure to significant risks and rewards under the arrangement. As a result, we determined that the arrangement no longer represents a collaborative arrangement.

The arrangement now represents a vendor-customer relationship under ASC 606 as we perform our obligation to provide development and manufacturing activities under the arrangement. The transaction price allocated to the C5 Co-Co obligation

unit of account will be recognized over time using an input method based on cost incurred relative to the total estimated costs for the identified performance obligation by determining the proportion of effort incurred as a percentage of total effort we expect to expend.

The total transaction price is comprised of the $400.0 million upfront payment and additional variable consideration related to research, development, manufacturing and supply activities related to the Research Services Obligation and the C5 License Obligation. We utilized the expected value method to determine the amount of reimbursement for these activities. We determined that any variable consideration related to sales-based royalties and milestones related to the worldwide license to cemdisiran for combination therapies is deemed to be constrained and therefore has been excluded from the transaction price. In addition, we are eligible to receive a future milestone payment upon the achievement of certain criteria during early clinical development for an eye program. We are also eligible to receive royalties on future commercial sales for certain eye, CNS or liver targets, if any; however, these amounts are excluded from variable consideration under the Regeneron Collaboration as we are only eligible to receive such amounts if, after a drug candidate is identified, the form of license agreement is subsequently executed resulting in a license that is granted to Regeneron. Any such subsequently granted license would represent a separate transaction under ASC 606.

We allocated the initial transaction price to each unit of account based on the applicable accounting guidance as follows, in thousands:

Performance Obligations Standalone Selling Price Transaction Price Allocated

The transaction price was allocated to the obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices of each obligation, over which management has applied significant judgment. We developed the estimated standalone selling price for the licenses included in the Research Services Obligation and the C5 License Obligation primarily based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future cash flows associated with each license related to each specific program. In developing such estimate, we applied judgment in the determination of the forecasted revenues, taking into consideration the applicable market conditions and relevant entity-specific factors, the expected number of targets or indications expected to be pursued under each license, the probability of success, the time needed to develop a product candidate pursuant to the associated license and the discount rate. We developed the estimated standalone selling price for the services and/or manufacturing and supply included in each of the obligations, as applicable, primarily based on the nature of the services to be performed and/or goods to be manufactured and estimates of the associated costs. The estimated standalone selling price of the C5 Co-Co Obligation was developed by estimating the present value of expected future cash flows that Regeneron is entitled to receive. In developing such estimate, we applied judgment in determining the indications that will be pursued, the forecasted revenues for such indications, the probability of success and the discount rate.

For the Research Services Obligation, the C5 License Obligation, and the C5 Co-Co Obligation accounted for under ASC 606, we measure proportional performance over time using an input method based on cost incurred relative to the total estimated costs for each of the identified obligations, on a quarterly basis, by determining the proportion of effort incurred as a percentage of total effort we expect to expend. This ratio is applied to the transaction price allocated to each obligation. Management has applied significant judgment in the process of developing our estimates. Any changes to these estimates will be recognized in the period in which they change as a cumulative catch up. We re-evaluate the transaction price as of the end of each reporting period and as of December 31, 2023, the total transaction price was determined to be $675.8 million, an increase of $116.9 million from December 31, 2022. The increase in the transaction price is primarily due to the $100.0 million milestone we earned in 2023 as we met certain criteria during early clinical development for our CNS program, ALN-APP. As of December 31, 2023, the transaction price is comprised of the upfront payment and variable consideration related to development, manufacture and supply activities. Revenue recognized under this agreement is accounted for as collaboration revenue.

Deferred revenue related to the Regeneron Collaboration is classified as either current or non-current in the consolidated balance sheets based on the period the revenue is expected to be recognized.

Novartis AG

2013 Collaboration with The Medicines Company

In February 2013, we and The Medicines Company, or MDCO, entered into a license and collaboration agreement pursuant to which we granted to MDCO an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize RNAi therapeutics targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, or PCSK9, for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and other human diseases, including inclisiran. We refer to this agreement, as amended through the date hereof, as the MDCO License Agreement. In 2020, Novartis AG, or Novartis, completed its acquisition of MDCO and assumed all rights and obligations under the MDCO License Agreement.

As of December 31, 2023, we have earned $120.0 million of milestones and upon achievement of certain events, we will be entitled to receive an additional $60.0 million in commercialization milestones. In addition, we are entitled to royalties ranging from 10% up to 20% based on annual worldwide net sales of licensed products by Novartis, its affiliates and sublicensees, subject to reduction under specified circumstances. Due to the uncertainty of pharmaceutical development and the high historical failure rates generally associated with drug development, we may not receive any additional milestone payments under the MDCO License Agreement and future royalty payments may be less than anticipated.

Unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the MDCO License Agreement expires on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis upon expiration of the last royalty term for any licensed product in any country, where a royalty term is defined as the latest to occur of (1) the expiration of the last valid claim of patent rights covering a licensed product, (2) the expiration of the Regulatory Exclusivity, as defined in the MDCO License Agreement, and (3) the twelfth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the licensed product in such country. We estimate that our core technology patents covering licensed products under the MDCO License Agreement will expire in most countries by 2029. We also estimate that our Leqvio (inclisiran) product-specific patents covering licensed products under the MDCO License Agreement will expire in the U.S. and Europe between 2027 and 2036, inclusive of any patent term extensions and/or any supplementary protection certificates extending such terms due to regulatory delay in those countries where such extensions are available. In addition, more patent filings relating to the collaboration may be made in the future.

Either party may terminate the MDCO License Agreement in the event the other party fails to cure a material breach or upon patent-related challenges by the other party. In addition, Novartis has the right to terminate the agreement without cause at any time upon four months’ prior written notice.

113

Table of Contents

ALNYLAM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the term of the MDCO License Agreement, neither party will, alone or with an affiliate or third party, research, develop or commercialize, or grant a license to any third party to research, develop or commercialize, in any country, any product (for Alnylam) and any siRNA product (for Novartis) directed to the PCSK9 gene, other than a licensed product, without the prior written agreement of the other party, subject to the terms of the MDCO License Agreement.

During 2018, we completed the performance obligations previously identified in the MDCO License Agreement, including the supply and technical transfer agreement, however, we continue to receive additional orders for supply of certain material. We consider such orders as promised goods to be distinct from the other performance obligations since Novartis is able to manufacture on its own through its vendors. Such orders are treated as separate agreements and any associated revenue will be recognized upon transfer of control. Unearned future milestones are not included in the transaction price as they are not considered likely of achievement and therefore constrained. Any consideration related to sales-based royalties (including milestones) are recognized when the related sales occur as they are determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to MDCO and as a result have also been excluded from the transaction price.

Other

In addition to the collaboration agreements discussed above, we have various other collaboration agreements that are not individually significant to our operating results or financial condition at this time. Pursuant to the terms of those agreements, we may be required to pay, or we may receive, additional amounts contingent upon the occurrence of various future events (e.g., upon the achievement of various development and commercial milestones) which in the aggregate could be significant. We may also incur, or be reimbursed for, significant research and development costs. In addition, if any products related to these collaborations are approved for sale, we may be required to pay, or we may receive, royalties on future sales. The payment or receipt of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events.

5. LIABILITY RELATED TO THE SALE OF FUTURE ROYALTIES

In April 2020, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement, or Purchase Agreement, with BX Bodyguard Royalties L.P. (an affiliate of The Blackstone Group Inc.), or Blackstone Royalties, under which Blackstone Royalties acquired 50% of royalties payable, or Royalty Interest, with respect to net sales by MDCO, its affiliates or sublicensees of inclisiran (or the branded drug product, Leqvio) and any other licensed products under the MDCO License Agreement, and 75% of the commercial milestone payments payable under the MDCO License Agreement, together with the Royalty Interest, the Purchased Interest. If Blackstone Royalties does not receive payments in respect of the Royalty Interest by December 31, 2029, equaling at least $1.00 billion, Blackstone Royalties will receive 55% of the Royalty Interest beginning on January 1, 2030. In consideration for the sale of the Purchased Interest, Blackstone Royalties paid us $1.00 billion.

We continue to own or control all inclisiran intellectual property rights and are responsible for certain ongoing manufacturing and supply obligations related to the generation of the Purchased Interest. Due to our continuing involvement, we will continue to account for any royalties and commercial milestones due to us under the MDCO License Agreement as revenue on our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and record the proceeds from this transaction as a liability, net of closing costs, on our consolidated balance sheet.

In order to determine the amortization of the liability related to the sale of future royalties, we are required to estimate the total amount of future payments to Blackstone Royalties over the life of the Purchase Agreement. The $1.00 billion liability, recorded at execution of the agreement, will be accreted to the total of these royalty and commercial milestone payments as interest expense over the life of the Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, our estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an effective annual interest rate of 8%. These estimates contain assumptions that impact both the amount recorded at execution and the interest expense that will be recognized in future periods.

As payments are made to Blackstone Royalties, the balance of the liability will be effectively repaid over the life of the Purchase Agreement. The exact timing and amount of repayment is likely to change each reporting period. A significant increase or decrease in Leqvio global net revenue will materially impact the liability related to the sale of future royalties, interest expense and the time period for repayment. We will periodically assess the expected payments to Blackstone Royalties and to the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different than our initial estimates, we will prospectively adjust the amortization of the liability related to the sale of future royalties and the related interest expense.

As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties was $1.38 billion, net of closing costs of $10.0 million. The carrying value of the liability related to the sale of future royalties approximates fair value as of December 31, 2023 and is based on our current estimates of future royalties and commercial milestones expected to be paid to Blackstone Royalties over the life of the arrangement, which are considered Level 3 inputs.

9. CONVERTIBLE DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2027

On September 12, 2022, we commenced a private offering of $900.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, or the Initial Notes. On September 13, 2022, the initial purchasers in such offering exercised their option to purchase an additional $135.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 1% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, or the Additional Notes, and together with the Initial Notes collectively referred to as the Notes, bringing the

total aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $1.04 billion. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated September 15, 2022, or the Indenture. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable.

The Notes will mature on September 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will bear interest from September 15, 2022 at a rate of 1% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2023. The Notes are convertible at the option of the noteholder on or after June 15, 2027. Prior to June 15, 2027, the Notes are convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, 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; (2) During the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of that ten consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate of the Notes on such trading day; (3) If we call any or all of the Notes for redemption; or (4) Upon the occurrence of specific corporate events as set forth in the Indenture governing the Notes. We will settle any conversions of Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 3.4941 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $286.20 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 35% over the $212.00 per share last reported sale price of common stock on September 12, 2022. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

We may not redeem the Notes prior to September 20, 2025. We may redeem for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of all or any portion of the Notes, at our option, on or after September 20, 2025, if the last reported sales price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes and therefore we are not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.

If we undergo a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture agreement, then subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if specific corporate events occur prior to the maturity date or if we issue a notice of redemption, we will increase the conversion rate by pre-defined amounts for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with such corporate event. The conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert were not met this quarter.

As of December 31, 2023, the Notes are classified as a long-term liability, net of issuance costs of $14.2 million, on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $1.02 billion. The fair value was determined based on the last actively traded price per $100 of the Notes for the period ended December 31, 2023 (Level 2). The Notes were issued at par and costs associated with the issuance of the Notes are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the Notes. As of December 31, 2023, the effective interest rate of the Notes is 1%.

Capped Call Transactions

In September 2022, in connection with the pricing of the Initial Notes and the initial purchasers’ exercise of their option to purchase the Additional Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions, or Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of common stock that underlie the Notes. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially $424.00 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of common stock of $212.00 per share on September 12, 2022, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. We used approximately $118.6 million of the proceeds from the offering of Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions.

We evaluated the Capped Call Transactions and determined that they should be accounted for separately from the Notes. The cost of $118.6 million to purchase the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 as the Capped Call Transactions are indexed to our own stock and met the criteria to be classified in stockholders' deficit.

10. DEVELOPMENT DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In August 2020, we entered into a co-development agreement, referred to as the Funding Agreement, with BXLS V Bodyguard – PCP L.P. and BXLS Family Investment Partnership V – ESC L.P., collectively referred to as Blackstone Life

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Sciences, pursuant to which Blackstone Life Sciences will provide up to $150.0 million in funding for the clinical development of vutrisiran and zilebesiran, two of our cardiometabolic programs. With respect to vutrisiran, Blackstone Life Sciences has committed to provide up to $70.0 million to fund development costs related to the HELIOS-B Phase 3 clinical trial. In November 2021, Blackstone Life Sciences opted in to Phase 2 clinical trial funding of zilebesiran, committing to fund, upon meeting certain patient enrollment thresholds, up to $26.0 million. Furthermore, Blackstone Life Sciences has the right, but is not obligated, to fund up to $54.0 million for development costs related to a Phase 3 clinical trial of zilebesiran. The amount of funding ultimately provided by Blackstone Life Sciences is dependent on us achieving specified development milestones with respect to each clinical trial. As between Blackstone and the Company, we retain sole responsibility for the development and commercialization of both vutrisiran and zilebesiran.

As consideration for Blackstone Life Sciences’ funding for vutrisiran clinical development costs, we have agreed to pay Blackstone Life Sciences a 1% royalty on net sales of AMVUTTRA (vutrisiran) for a 10-year term beginning upon the first commercial sale following regulatory approval of vutrisiran for ATTR-cardiomyopathy, as well as fixed payments of up to 2.5 times their investment over a two-year period upon regulatory approval of vutrisiran for ATTR-cardiomyopathy in specified countries, unless it is later withdrawn from the market following a mandatory recall. As consideration for Blackstone Life Sciences’ funding for Phase 2 clinical development costs of zilebesiran, we have agreed to pay Blackstone Life Sciences fixed payments of up to 3.25 times their Phase 2 investment over a four-year period upon the successful completion of the zilebesiran Phase 2 clinical trial, unless certain regulatory events affecting the continued development of zilebesiran occur. In September 2023, we announced positive topline results from the KARDIA-1 Phase 2 study of zilebesiran, triggering the achievement of a development milestone of $84.5 million payable to Blackstone in 16 equal, quarterly payments over four years. As consideration for Blackstone Life Sciences’ funding for Phase 3 clinical development costs of zilebesiran, we have agreed to pay Blackstone Life Sciences fixed payments of up to 4.5 times their Phase 3 investment over a four-year period upon regulatory approval of zilebesiran in specified countries, unless it is later withdrawn from the market following a mandatory recall.

Our payment obligations under the Funding Agreement will be secured, subject to certain exceptions, by security interests in intellectual property owned by us relating to vutrisiran and zilebesiran, as well as in our bank account in which the funding deposits will be made.

We and Blackstone Life Sciences each have the right to terminate the Funding Agreement in its entirety in the event of the other party’s bankruptcy or similar proceedings. We and Blackstone Life Sciences may each terminate the Funding Agreement in its entirety or with respect to either product in the event of an uncured material breach by the other party, or with respect to a product for certain patient health and safety reasons, or if regulatory approval in specified major market countries is not obtained for the product following the completion of clinical trials for the product. In addition, Blackstone Life Sciences has the right to terminate the Funding Agreement in its entirety upon the occurrence of certain events affecting our ability to make payments under the agreement or to develop or commercialize the products, or upon a change of control of us. Blackstone Life Sciences may also terminate the Funding Agreement with respect to a product if the joint steering committee elects to terminate the development program for that product in its entirety, if certain clinical endpoints are not achieved for that product or, with respect to vutrisiran only, if our right to develop or commercialize vutrisiran is enjoined in a specified major market as a result of an alleged patent infringement. In certain termination circumstances, we will be obligated to pay Blackstone Life Sciences an amount that is equal to, or a multiplier of, the development funding received from Blackstone Life Sciences, and we may remain obligated under certain circumstances to make the payments to Blackstone Life Sciences described above, or the royalty described above in the case of AMVUTTRA, should we obtain regulatory approval for zilebesiran or vutrisiran for ATTR-cardiomyopathy following termination.

We account for the Funding Agreement under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as a derivative liability, measured at fair value, recorded within accrued expenses or other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, depending on timing of our payment to Blackstone Life Sciences. The change in fair value due to the remeasurement of the development derivative liability is recorded as other expense on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the derivative liability is classified as a Level 3 financial liability in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation method incorporates certain unobservable Level 3 key inputs including (i) the probability and timing of achieving stated development milestones to receive payments from Blackstone Life Sciences, (ii) the probability and timing of achieving regulatory approval and payments to Blackstone Life Sciences, (iii) an estimate of the amount and timing of the

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

The fair value of stock options, at date of grant, based on the following assumptions, was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of our publicly traded stock. The expected life assumption is based on our historical data. The dividend yield assumption is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the zero coupon rate for instruments with a similar expected life.
