Pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY trial of avexitide, a potential first-in-class GLP-1 receptor antagonist with FDA breakthrough therapy designation, underway in post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH); completion of recruitment expected in 2025, with topline data anticipated in first half of 2026 Data through Week 48 from the ongoing Phase 2 HELIOS trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome to be presented at the Joint Congress of the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) taking place from May 10-13 Phase 1 LUMINA trial of AMX0114, an investigational, potent antisense oligonucleotide targeting knockdown of calpain-2, underway in people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); early cohort data expected in 2025 Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $204.1 million as of March 31, 2025; cash runway expected through the end of 2026 Management to host conference call and webcast today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMLX) (“Amylyx” or the “Company”) today reported financial and business results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. “During the first quarter, we made continued progress across our pipeline, including strong clinical execution of our pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY trial of avexitide in post-bariatric hypoglycemia. We remain focused on avexitide and continue to expect completion of enrollment in 2025 and topline data in the first half of 2026,” said Joshua Cohen and Justin Klee, Co-CEOs of Amylyx. “We also made important progress in dosing the first patient in our Phase 1 LUMINA trial of AMX0114 in ALS, with early cohort data expected later this year. Additionally, we look forward to presenting new, long-term data from the Phase 2 HELIOS trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome in the coming days, and the topline data from the Phase 2b portion of the Phase 2b/3 ORION trial of AMX0035 are expected in the third quarter. With our momentum so far this year and current anticipated cash runway through the end of 2026, we remain confident in achieving our current goals and look forward to our upcoming milestones.” First Quarter and Recent Updates: Amylyx began dosing in the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial of avexitide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor antagonist with FDA Breakthrough Designation, for the treatment of post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). In April 2025, the Company dosed the first participant for LUCIDITY, an approximately 75-participant, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of avexitide in participants with PBH following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery at approximately 20 sites in the U.S. Amylyx presented the design of LUCIDITY in December 2024, and the poster is available on the “Publications” page of the Amylyx website. Avexitide has been previously evaluated in five PBH clinical trials showing consistent, dose-dependent effects, including statistically significant reductions in hypoglycemic events. Avexitide was generally well-tolerated, with a favorable safety profile replicated across clinical trials. With these consistent data, Amylyx believes avexitide has the potential to become the first approved therapy for PBH. Amylyx began dosing in the Phase 1 LUMINA clinical trial of AMX0114, an investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting knockdown of calpain-2, for people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).In April 2025, the Company dosed the first participant for LUMINA, a multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and biological activity of AMX0114. The trial will also assess ALS biomarkers, including changes from baseline in neurofilament light (NfL) levels. Approximately 48 participants will be randomized 3:1 to receive AMX0114 or placebo by intrathecal administration once every four weeks, for up to four doses. Amylyx closed its underwritten public offering of 19.7 million shares of its common stock in January 2025. The net proceeds to Amylyx from this offering were approximately $65.5 million, extending the company’s expected cash runway through the end of 2026. Upcoming Expected Milestones: Completion of enrollment for the pivotal Phase 3 LUCIDITY clinical trial of avexitide in PBH expected in 2025, with a data readout anticipated in the first half of 2026 and, if approved, commercial launch anticipated in 2027. LUCIDITY is evaluating the FDA-agreed-upon primary outcome of reduction in the composite of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events through Week 16 and has similar inclusion and exclusion criteria to previous Phase 2 trials of avexitide in PBH. Amylyx will share Week 48 data from the ongoing Phase 2 HELIOS trial of AMX0035 (sodium phenylbutyrate [PB] and taurursodiol [TURSO, also known as ursodoxicoltaurine]) in Wolfram syndrome at the Joint Congress of the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) on May 10-13 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The poster presentation will be made available on the “Presentations” tab of the Amylyx website on Monday, May 12, 2025. Data from participants at Week 48 and ongoing discussions with the FDA will inform the design of a Phase 3 trial of AMX0035 in Wolfram syndrome. Amylyx plans to present additional data from the Phase 2 PREVENT and Phase 2b trials of avexitide in PBH at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting (ENDO) 2025 on July 12-15 in San Francisco, CA. The presentations will be made available on the “Presentations” tab of the Amylyx website following the conclusion of the sessions in accordance with ENDO’s embargo policy. Unblinded analysis of the Phase 2b portion of the Phase 2b/3 ORION trial evaluating AMX0035 for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) expected in the third quarter of 2025.ORION is an operationally seamless Phase 2b/3 clinical trial in people living with PSP. The Phase 2b portion was fully enrolled in January 2025 with a total of 139 participants randomized. Efficacy and safety Phase 2b data from an unblinded analysis when all participants have reached Week 24 will be used to inform a go/no-go decision on the Phase 3 portion of the trial. Early cohort data from the Phase 1 LUMINA clinical trial of AMX0114 in ALS expected in 2025. LUMINA clinical trial sites were activated in Canada in the beginning of 2025 and are recruiting participants. Amylyx is working to open U.S. sites for screening, enrollment, and dosing. Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $22.1 million, compared to $36.6 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in spending on AMX0035 for the treatment of ALS, payroll and personnel-related costs, and a decrease in preclinical development activities. Research and development expenses include $1.8 million of stock-based compensation expense for the quarter, compared to $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense for the same period in 2024. SG&A Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $15.7 million, compared to $57.8 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in payroll and personnel-related costs and a decrease in consulting, professional services, and other expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses include $5.0 million of stock-based compensation expense for the quarter, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2024. Net Loss: Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $35.9 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to net loss of $118.8 million, or $1.75 per share for the same period in 2024. Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $204.1 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $176.5 million at December 31, 2024. Based on its current operating plans, Amylyx expects its cash runway to be through the end of 2026. The cash position at March 31, 2025 reflects payments of $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 related to product rebates and the settlement of purchase commitments for AMX0035 that were established prior to the voluntary discontinuation of sales of RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ in April 2024. We recorded $1.4M of expense in the first quarter of 2025 related to these payments, with the remaining expense recorded in prior periods. The residual cash obligations related to the discontinuation of RELYVRIO/ALBRIOZA are $3.1 million, and the Company expects they will be paid through 2025.

About Avexitide Avexitide is an investigational, first-in-class glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor antagonist that has been evaluated in five Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials for post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) and has also been studied in congenital hyperinsulinism (HI). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted avexitide Breakthrough Therapy Designation for both indications, Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in congenital HI, and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (which includes PBH and congenital HI). Avexitide is designed to bind to the GLP-1 receptor on pancreatic islet beta cells and inhibit the effect of GLP-1 to mitigate hypoglycemia by decreasing insulin secretion and stabilizing blood glucose levels. In PBH, excessive GLP-1 can lead to the hypersecretion of insulin and subsequent debilitating hypoglycemic events. In two Phase 2 PBH clinical trials, avexitide demonstrated highly statistically significant reductions in hypoglycemic events. These events can lead to autonomic and neuroglycopenic symptoms that can have a devastating impact on daily living. About Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia (PBH) Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a condition that affects approximately 8% of people in the U.S., or approximately 160,000 people, who have undergone the two most common types of bariatric surgery, which include sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). PBH is thought to be caused by an excessive glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) response leading to hypoglycemia and impaired quality of life. PBH can cause debilitating hypoglycemic events associated with inadequate supply of glucose to the brain, known as neuroglycopenia. Clinical manifestations can include impaired cognition, loss of consciousness, and seizures. PBH is also associated with a high degree of disability that can result in major disruptions to independent living. There are no approved therapies for PBH. About the LUCIDITY Trial LUCIDITY (NCT06747468) is an approximately 75-participant, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of avexitide in participants with PBH following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. The Phase 3 trial will be conducted at approximately 20 sites in the U.S. Participants will be randomized 3:2 to receive either 90 mg of avexitide subcutaneously once daily or placebo. The trial includes an up to six-week screening period, including a three-week run-in period, and a 16-week double-blind treatment period. Participants who complete the double-blind period will be eligible to enter an open-label extension (OLE) period with a duration of 32 weeks. The primary efficacy objective of LUCIDITY will evaluate the FDA-agreed upon primary outcome of reduction in the composite of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events through Week 16. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated. About Amylyx Pharmaceuticals At Amylyx, our mission is to usher in a new era of treating diseases with high unmet needs. Where others see challenges, we see opportunities that we pursue with urgency, rigorous science, and unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. We are currently focused on three investigational therapies across several neurodegenerative and endocrine diseases in which we believe they can make the greatest impact.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2025. "Demand for our products was strong globally in the first quarter. Ongoing new product launches and successful Phase 3 trial results for several products make us feel confident in our long-term growth prospects," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. Key results include: For the first quarter, total revenues increased 9% to $8.1 billion in comparison to the first quarter of 2024. Product sales grew 11%, primarily driven by 14% volume growth, partially offset by 6% lower net selling price. U.S. sales grew 14%. Fourteen products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the first quarter, including Repatha® (evolocumab), BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab), TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko), EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg), TAVNEOS® (avacopan) and UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon). Our launch of IMDELLTRA ® (tarlatamab-dlle) generated $81 million of sales in the quarter and the Phase 3 confirmatory study demonstrated improved overall survival compared to chemotherapy. IMDELLTRA ® launched in Japan in April 2025. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $3.20 for the first quarter of 2025 compared with a GAAP loss per share of $0.21 for the first quarter of 2024, resulting from an unrealized gain on our BeiGene, Ltd. equity investment during the first quarter of 2025 compared to an unrealized loss during the prior year period, partially offset by an Otezla® intangible asset impairment charge of $800 million recorded during the first quarter of 2025. GAAP operating income increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 1.1 percentage points to 15.0%. Non-GAAP EPS increased 24% from $3.96 to $4.90, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.1 billion to $3.6 billion and non-GAAP operating margin increased 2.5 percentage points to 45.7%. The Company generated $1.0 billion of free cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 versus $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024. This increase reflects an $800 million tax deposit made in the first quarter of 2024 and current quarter business performance, partially offset by timing of working capital items and higher capital expenditures. References in this release to "non-GAAP" measures, measures presented "on a non-GAAP basis," and "free cash flow" (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other items are presented in the attached reconciliations. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion. Product Sales Performance General Medicine Repatha® (evolocumab) sales increased 27% year-over-year to $656 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by 41% volume growth, partially offset by 9% lower net selling price. EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg) sales increased 29% year-over-year to $442 million in the first quarter, driven by volume growth. Prolia® (denosumab) sales increased 10% year-over-year to $1.1 billion in the first quarter, primarily driven by 13% volume growth, partially offset by 5% lower net selling price. For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition, particularly in the second half of the year. Rare Disease TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) sales decreased 10% year-over-year to $381 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by 9% lower volume and 8% from a decrease in inventory levels, partially offset by higher net selling price. KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase) sales were flat year-over-year at $236 million in the first quarter, as 11% volume growth was offset by 10% from a decrease in inventory levels. UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon) sales increased 14% year-over-year to $91 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by volume growth. TAVNEOS® (avacopan) sales increased 76% year-over-year to $90 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by volume growth. Ultra-Rare products, which consist of RAVICTI® (glycerol phenylbutyrate), PROCYSBI® (cysteamine bitartrate), ACTIMMUNE® (interferon gamma-1b), BUPHENYL® (sodium phenylbutyrate) and QUINSAIR® (levofloxacin), generated $179 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales increased 6% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by volume growth. Inflammation TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko) sales increased 65% year-over-year to $285 million in the first quarter, driven by volume growth. Otezla® (apremilast) sales increased 11% year-over-year to $437 million in the first quarter, driven by 12% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions, as volume growth of 4% was offset by 5% lower net selling price. Enbrel® (etanercept) sales decreased 10% year-over-year to $510 million in the first quarter, driven by 47% lower net selling price resulting from increased 340B Program mix and higher commercial discounts, partially offset by 19% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions, higher inventory levels and volume growth. The year-over-year impact on net selling price is expected to be less pronounced in future quarters. AMJEVITA® (adalimumab-atto)/AMGEVITA™ (adalimumab) sales decreased 19% year-over-year to $136 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by 33% lower net selling price, partially offset by 11% volume growth. WEZLANA™ (ustekinumab-auub)/WEZENLA™ (ustekinumab) generated $150 million of sales in the first quarter. WEZLANA launched in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2025 and is the first FDA-approved biosimilar for the treatment of adult and pediatric plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. PAVBLU® (aflibercept-ayyh) generated $99 million of sales in the first quarter. PAVBLU launched in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is the first available aflibercept biosimilar for the treatment of retinal conditions, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration, macular edema following retinal vein occlusion, diabetic macular edema and diabetic retinopathy.

Vectibix® (panitumumab) sales increased 8% year-over-year to $267 million in the first quarter, driven by volume growth. KYPROLIS® (carfilzomib) sales decreased 14% year-over-year to $324 million in the first quarter, driven by lower volumes due to increased competition. LUMAKRAS®/LUMYKRAS™ (sotorasib) sales increased 4% year-over-year to $85 million in the first quarter, driven by volume growth, partially offset by lower net selling price. XGEVA® (denosumab) sales increased 1% year-over-year to $566 million in the first quarter. For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition, particularly in the second half of the year. Nplate® (romiplostim) sales decreased 1% year-over-year to $313 million in the first quarter as volume growth was more than offset by unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions and foreign exchange impact. IMDELLTRA® (tarlatamab-dlle)/IMDYLLTRA™ (tarlatamab) generated $81 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales increased 21% quarter-over-quarter driven by volume growth. MVASI® (bevacizumab-awwb) sales decreased 11% year-over-year to $179 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by lower volume. Going forward, we expect continued sales erosion driven by competition. Established Products Our established products, which consist of Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa), Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) and Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), generated $557 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales decreased 3% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 10% lower net selling price and 3% unfavorable foreign exchange impact, partially offset by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Product Sales Detail by Product and Geographic Region Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis On a GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses increased 8% year-over-year for the first quarter. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 7.3 percentage points driven by lower amortization expense from the fair value step-up of inventory acquired from Horizon and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by changes in our sales mix. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 11% driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, partially offset by lower spend in marketed product support and research and early pipeline. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 7% driven by lower commercial product-related expenses and lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of the Otezla® intangible asset impairment charge of $800 million. Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 1.1 percentage points in the first quarter to 15.0%. Tax Rate increased 78.5 percentage points in the first quarter due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the first quarter 2025 unrealized gains compared to the first quarter 2024 unrealized losses on our equity investments, primarily BeiGene. On a non-GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses increased 4% year-over-year for the first quarter. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 0.8 percentage points driven by lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by changes in our sales mix. R&D expenses increased 12% driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, partially offset by lower spend in marketed product support and research and early pipeline. SG&A expenses decreased 3% driven by lower commercial product-related expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 2.5 percentage points in the first quarter to 45.7%. Tax Rate decreased 0.8 percentage points in the first quarter due to the change in earnings mix and net favorable items as compared to the prior year. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet The Company generated $1.0 billion of free cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 versus $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024. This increase reflects an $800 million tax deposit made in the first quarter of 2024 and current quarter business performance, partially offset by timing of working capital items and higher capital expenditures. The Company declared a first quarter 2025 dividend on December 10, 2024 of $2.38 that was paid on March 7, 2025 to all stockholders of record as of February 14, 2025, representing a 6% increase from the same period in 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company reduced principal debt outstanding by $2.8 billion. During the first quarter, there were no repurchases of shares of common stock. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.8 billion and debt outstanding totaled $57.4 billion as of March 31, 2025. 2025 Guidance For the full year 2025, the Company expects: Total revenues in the range of $34.3 billion to $35.7 billion. On a GAAP basis, EPS in the range of $12.21 to $13.46, and a tax rate in the range of 11.0% to 12.5%. On a non-GAAP basis, EPS in the range of $20.00 to $21.20, and a tax rate in the range of 14.5% to 16.0%. Capital expenditures to be approximately $2.3 billion. Share repurchases not to exceed $500 million. This guidance includes the estimated impact of implemented tariffs, but does not account for any tariffs that could be implemented in the future, including potential sector-specific tariffs. First Quarter Product and Pipeline Update The Company provided the following updates on selected product and pipeline programs: General Medicine MariTide (maridebart cafraglutide, AMG 133) MariTide is a differentiated peptide-antibody conjugate that activates the glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and antagonizes the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR). MARITIME-1, a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of maridebart cafraglutide is enrolling adults living with overweight or obesity, without Type 2 diabetes mellitus. MARITIME-2, a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of maridebart cafraglutide is enrolling adults living with overweight or obesity, with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Planning for additional MARITIME Phase 3 studies across multiple indications remains on track, with additional studies expected to initiate throughout 2025. Part 2 of the Phase 2 chronic weight management study is ongoing in adults living with overweight or obesity, with or without Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data readout is anticipated in H2 2025. A Phase 2 study investigating MariTide for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus has completed enrollment of adults living with and without obesity. Data readout is anticipated in H2 2025. AMG 513 A Phase 1 study of AMG 513 is enrolling people living with obesity following removal of the clinical hold by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Repatha VESALIUS-CV, a Phase 3 CV outcomes study of Repatha, is ongoing in patients at high CV risk without prior myocardial infarction or stroke.
