Descriptions of those non-GAAP monetary measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP are incorporated in as of late’s press liberate and the slide presentation to be had at the Buyers segment of our site. And now I will flip the decision over to our president and CEO, Doug Ingram, who will supply an outline of our fresh growth.

Doug?

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Thanks, Mary. Just right afternoon, everybody, and thanks for becoming a member of Sarepta Therapeutics’ fourth quarter and whole yr 2024 monetary effects convention name. As you might know, again in past due 2017, we created an expansive strategic plan that we name Mission Moonshot, person who will require that we carry billions of greenbacks, constitution path in the course of the unknown and triumph over more than one unexpected hindrances, hindrances that might have deterred a much less dedicated group, but additionally a strategic plan, if accomplished, which might be certain a greater lifestyles for 1000’s of Duchenne sufferers and cement the sturdy long run of Sarepta. After years of labor and reams of latest perception into the remedy of Duchenne, in 2024, we accomplished all the targets specified by Mission Moonshot.

We got acclaim for the broadest imaginable label for ELEVIDYS, attaining our objective of a transformative treatment that would serve nearly all of Duchenne sufferers. We labored with the FDA to reframe the option to the advance of infrequent and ultra-rare illnesses in order that treatments prior to now rendered unviable by way of FDA necessities now have the prospective to lend a hand sufferers. And consequently, our LGMD franchise is transferring with renewed pace towards 3 possible approvals over the following 3 years. We widely introduced ELEVIDYS in 2024 and accomplished effects more than all different in vivo gene treatments blended.

On the similar time, we proceed to serve the neighborhood with our PMOs, which grew even within the face of a powerful gene treatment release. We was sustainably winning and money move fantastic in 2024. Certainly, by way of the top of 2030, we will be able to do over $16 billion cumulatively in running source of revenue and over $13 billion in unfastened money move, and that is after we have now closed and made our preliminary funding within the Arrowhead transaction. And we have now secured sturdy and much more diverse long run via our Arrowhead collaboration, pursuant to which we now upload to our gene treatment pipeline a wide platform of siRNA together with 4 medical systems, 3 preclinical systems, and 6 analysis systems throughout neuromuscular, CNS, cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary.

Along with more than one gene treatment launches within the coming few years, we will be able to have more than one possible blockbuster siRNA launches sooner than the top of this decade. Now, talking extra particularly of efficiency. We had an exceptionally sturdy fourth-quarter and full-year efficiency with our 4 licensed treatments. For the fourth quarter, our internet product earnings stood at $638 million, rising at 75% over the similar quarter prior yr.

This represents greater than $60 million in overperformance to our prior steerage. Our full-year internet product earnings stood at $1.8 billion, representing year-over-year enlargement of 56%, and this overperformed to our steerage by way of over $100 million. Turning to ELEVIDYS. In 2024, we had, by way of a large margin, essentially the most a success release of a gene treatment but in historical past.

For the fourth quarter, ELEVIDYS gross sales stood at 385 — $384 million, representing a 112% building up over the prior sequential quarter. And whilst we have now already accomplished over $1 billion in gross sales since our preliminary approval in 2023, this represents not up to 5% of the on-label addressable alternative. So, obviously, that is only the start. Our 3 PMOs, EXONDYS 51, AMONDYS 45, and VYONDYS 53, accomplished $254 million within the fourth quarter and $967 million for the complete yr.

We had been winning on a GAAP and a non-GAAP foundation within the fourth quarter, and we had been money move fantastic. Dallan Murray, our leader buyer officer, will supply extra colour on industrial efficiency in a second. After which to spherical out the decision, our CFO, Ian Estepan, will speak about our financials in additional element. Taking a look ahead, in 2025, we will be able to capitalize at the successes of 2024.

As you recognize, our internet product earnings steerage for 2025, apart from royalties from Roche, is between $2.9 billion and $3.1 billion, roughly one-third of which can come from the PMOs and just a little over two-thirds of which can come from ELEVIDYS. This represents year-over-year enlargement of 70% for general internet product earnings, and right through ELEVIDYS, this represents over 160% year-over-year enlargement. At the R&D and tech ops aspect, we have now extra upcoming milestones this yr than every other time in our historical past. As you recognize, we already met our essential ELEVIDYS milestone in past due January.

We reported the two-year and one-year crossover effects for ELEVIDYS from our pivotal trial EMBARK. And in all prespecified measures that incorporates all practical measures, muscle well being, and biomarkers, the ones on ELEVIDYS did strongly statistically, a lot better than untreated herbal historical past would have predicted. We have now handed 600 sufferers now on treatment throughout a wide vary of ages and weights. Those knowledge are additional evidence of the transformative possible of ELEVIDYS to switch for — the longer term process this illness for sufferers.

To proceed to serve the worldwide marketplace and beef up COGS, we’re making plans for a transfer to suspension production. And after finishing our GMP runs, we intend to begin our suspension production bridging find out about this yr. As famous, we at the moment are transferring all of a sudden with our LGMD platform. We’re proceeding to dose our find out about for SRP-9004 to regard LGMD Sort 2D, and we have now initiated our registration find out about for SRP-9005 to regard LGMD Sort 2C.

We have now finished dosing in our pivotal trial for SRP-9003 to regard LGMD Sort 2E, and we will be able to be filing our BLA for approval later this yr. We additionally intend to document our IND for SRP-9010 to regard LGMD Sort 2A later this yr. If a success, we will be able to release SRP-9003 subsequent yr. We can release SRP-9004 the next yr, and SRP-9005 can be introduced the yr after that.

As you recognize, we have now closed our transaction with Arrowhead this month. And already, there can be a number of very vital milestones in 2025. This yr, we will be able to have our preliminary readout for cohorts for ARO-DUX4 to regard FSHD kind 1. Once more, this can be a very vital evidence of biology.

We can be browsing at muscle focus, downstream gene correction, and protection. We are additionally very fascinated by the prospective to without delay measure knockdown of the aberrant protein of passion, DUX4. No different program to this point has been ready to succeed in this, and this is able to be an important outcome if a success. Likewise, we will be able to have a readout of our preliminary cohorts for ARO-DM1 to regard DM1, the place shall we download evidence of biology browsing at muscle focus, knockdown, gene splicing, and protection.

If a success, shall we release our treatment for DM1 in 2029. Our medical systems for MMP7 and SCA2 are progressing smartly as smartly. We intend to start up our first-in-human medical find out about sooner than the top of this yr for ARO-HTT, which is meant to regard Huntington’s illness. And in the end, we have now an important collection of siRNA and gene treatment pipeline systems underway.

And so, we intend to agenda an R&D Day later this yr to talk about they all in additional element. Our head of R&D and leader clinical officer, Dr. Louise Rodino-Klapac, will speak about our pipeline growth in a second. With grit and operational excellence, we accomplished all of our multiyear goals in 2024.

In 2025, we will be able to proceed to execute. We can construct on our basis as one of the crucial only a few totally built-in winning and money flow-positive biotechs on the earth as of late. And we will be able to reach our subsequent ambition, which is to turn out to be the following globally related giant biotech taken with making improvements to the lives of the ones amongst us with life-limiting infrequent illness. And with that, I can flip the decision to Dallan Murray for extra element on industrial efficiency and plans.

Dallan?

Dallan Murray — Vice President, Advertising and marketing

Thanks, Doug, and just right afternoon. I am thrilled by way of the outstanding efficiency the group delivered within the fourth quarter and for the complete yr 2024. As we preannounced in January, internet product earnings for 2024 totaled $1.79 billion, consisting of more or less $967 million from our PMO franchise and roughly $821 million for ELEVIDYS. 2024 marked the 8th yr of our PMO franchise, which persisted to accomplish smartly and grew modestly yr over yr, even within the face of the transformation introduced out by way of ELEVIDYS.

As in prior years, the group delivered this enlargement organically with out taking worth will increase on any of our licensed PMO merchandise. As such, this enlargement speaks to the rise in sufferers we’re serving within the Duchenne neighborhood. For 2025, the PMOs stay an integral a part of our steerage. Or even within the face of sturdy ELEVIDYS efficiency, we’re handiest seeing modest U.S.

internet cannibalization. We’re pleased with the present consensus estimates as they stand as of late for the PMOs. For the fourth quarter, internet product revenues for the PMOs totaled more or less $254 million, rising at roughly 9% in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2023. Particular person PMO internet product revenues had been $137.6 million for EXONDYS 51, $40.2 million for VYONDYS 53, and $76.2 million for AMONDYS 45.

Now, turning to the ELEVIDYS release and function. This autumn used to be our 2nd complete quarter with an expanded label, and shall we no longer be extra happy with the release execution. Specifically, for the fourth quarter, ELEVIDYS earnings totaled $384.2 million, exceeding our quarterly steerage by way of over $60 million. And please take note, even with this spectacular enlargement, at this level within the release, we have now handled roughly 5% of the on-label addressable affected person inhabitants for ELEVIDYS.

So, the chance forward folks stays vital, and we have now the wind in our sails these days. The new findings from the Phase 2 of the EMBARK find out about provides to the present powerful frame of medical proof. This may increasingly no doubt lend a hand the group with their efforts going ahead. Because the release progresses, we stay assured in our figuring out of the release dynamics and the important thing drivers, which proceed to be powerful affected person call for for each the ambulant and non-ambulant populations, abundant web page capability for each the infusion and follow-up, fantastic tendencies in get admission to and repayment for each ambulatory and non-ambulatory sufferers and constant conversion charges as we proceed to look sufferers gaining get admission to inside the three- to five-month conversion timeline.

Doug took a while on the fresh JPMorgan assembly to present extra element on that conversion timeline. Figuring out this procedure is very important to figuring out our trade type and the arrogance we have now in our good fortune and skill to execute each quarter to quarter and within the coming years. 5 launches in a decade of running in partnership with the important thing neuromuscular establishments provides us a deep line of sight into the cadence of dosing each and every affected person in each and every heart, in each and every area, and around the nation. For each gene treatment affected person, more or less 20 to twenty-five folks inside of each and every establishment play the most important section in making that dose occur.

And the ones people are throughout each and every establishment, from the manager group to the drugstore division in addition to the scientific finance and more than a few administrative groups. And that’s the reason handiest the folks inside the establishment. We additionally depend on further folks from our distribution and production companions, together with others from more than a few interior Sarepta groups. All want to do their particular person portions with perfection and beneath tight timelines to effectively dose each and every affected person.

Why is that this essential? There are two causes. The primary and most important is that we’ve got now proven as a group, we will do that reliably and effectively for over six quarters now since our preliminary release. We’ve got constructed the type and proven we will reliably execute, which has been difficult for others to perform. Secondly, it provides us quite a lot of self belief in our earnings projections, that are pushed by way of our figuring out of the affected person adventure.

There are a number of elements that give a contribution to the cadence of sufferers being handled, and we have now a just right line of sight into each and every of those elements. With over 8 years of business enjoy comes a just right figuring out of the place the sufferers are and their pathway to remedy. We also are happy with the continuing growth in getting wide protection for ELEVIDYS and proceed to look sufferers gaining get admission to who’re in plans with extra restrictive insurance policies. To this point, no longer a unmarried affected person has been completely denied protection.

And as you’ll see from our efficiency, it is a illness state that we perceive extraordinarily smartly. We’re very assured in our enlargement trajectory, and I would love to reiterate some degree that Doug made in January that places our efficiency into broader context. We challenge that within the first 30 months of our ELEVIDYS release, ELEVIDYS internet product earnings will outperform each and every different in vivo gene treatment blended over that very same time frame. Our good fortune of ELEVIDYS displays that onetime gene treatment might be commercially viable, offering hope for the ones with Duchenne and for all the ones with genetic stipulations with unmet want.

As a reminder, our 2025 internet product earnings steerage is $2.9 billion to $3.1 billion, which represents roughly 70% enlargement over 2024. To this point, the release has performed out in step with our projections, and we stay pleased with this steerage given our sturdy end to 2024 and our lengthy observe report of as it should be predicting our efficiency. In abstract, we’re pleased with our steerage for the yr and with Q1 consensus. We predict to ship sequential enlargement quarter over quarter right through 2025.

And now I hand the decision over to Dr. Louise Rodino-Klapac for the R&D replace. Louise?

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Thank you, Dallan. Development at the accomplishments of 2024, I am delighted with the promise sooner than us and the huge alternatives there are to proceed to make a distinction in sufferers’ lives. At the start, ELEVIDYS. Overdue closing month, we introduced fantastic follow-up knowledge from EMBARK or Find out about SRP-9001-301, our international randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Segment 3 medical find out about of ELEVIDYS.

In particular, we shared crossover effects from those that obtain treatment in Phase 2 of the find out about. And we additionally shared the two-year result of the ones handled in Phase 1 of the find out about as in comparison to an exterior keep watch over. Given what we learn about ELEVIDYS that the science and information have proven us and what we have now seen in a big inhabitants of sufferers which were handled with ELEVIDYS, we weren’t shocked by way of such overwhelmingly fantastic knowledge from the find out about, which demonstrated that ELEVIDYS affects the trajectory of Duchenne and provides an early remedy choice meant to keep away from pointless and unavoidable muscle harm. Chatting with the treatment’s sturdiness, the information are transparent.

The ones no longer on treatment decline of their practical talents sooner than the ones on treatment, who keep more healthy longer as opposed to the herbal historical past would expect. Intervention is important in keeping up treasured muscle sooner than it is misplaced. With that, I would love to pause for a second and reiterate the importance of the MRI muscle knowledge. As discussed on closing month’s name, those knowledge strengthen long-term serve as and more healthy muscle.

In particular, we noticed modest to no building up in fats fraction from baseline to 2 years, and ranges at two years had been smartly under what we’ve got noticed at 12 months within the placebo sufferers. That is constant throughout muscle teams. We look ahead to publishing knowledge from EMBARK at approaching clinical conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. In abstract, as evidenced by way of the information, ELEVIDYS demonstrated a clinically significant reaction throughout all of Sarepta research with expanding divergence from herbal historical past over the years that helps the sturdiness of the treatment.

Towards our objective of offering ELEVIDYS to all eligible sufferers, we’re advancing the ENVISION find out about or Find out about SRP-9001-303, an international randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-part trial comparing the security and efficacy of ELEVIDYS in non-ambulatory and older ambulatory folks with Duchenne. ENVISION is progressing smartly, and as prior to now discussed, enrollment in america is whole. And our closing affected person closing talk over with is anticipated in 2027 following an 18-month placebo-controlled length. As well as, for the roughly 15% of sufferers who’re screened out for preexisting anti-AAVrh74 antibodies, we’ve got commenced two research, one with imlifidase or Find out about 104 to cleave antibodies and a 2nd with plasmapheresis or Find out about 105 to take away antibodies.

We predict to have expression knowledge from either one of those research in the second one part of 2025. Transferring now to our systems for the limb-girdle muscular dystrophies or LGMDs. We had been delighted to announce in December 2024 that we finished enrollment and dosing of EMERGENE or Find out about SRP-9003-301, our Segment 3 medical trial of SRP-9003 to regard LGMD Sort 2E or beta-sarcoglycanopathy. EMERGENE is an international find out about, and the main endpoint is biomarker expression of the protein, the absence of which is the only reason for LGMD2E.

Knowledge from EMERGENE are anticipated within the first part of 2025. Additional, we had been happy with the results of our pre-Biologics License Software assembly with FDA, together with endorsement for a rolling BLA submission. We’re heading in the right direction to put up our BLA filings in the hunt for sped up acclaim for SRP-9003 in the second one part of 2025. We are additionally inspired by way of the growth of our different LGMD systems.

On the finish of 2024, we initiated Segment 1 of SRP-9004 in advancement to regard LGMD2D. And in early 2025, we will be able to start up our Segment 1/3 seamless design medical trial for SRP-9005, which is in advancement for the remedy of LGMD2C. This March, we look ahead to sharing with you welcome knowledge from our Duchenne and LGMD systems on the MDA Medical and Medical Convention happening March sixteenth in the course of the nineteenth in Dallas, Texas. And we additionally look ahead to highlighting our spectacular pipeline at an upcoming R&D Day in 2025.

As a preview, we have now a large number of systems in more than a few phases of advancement throughout neuromuscular, central apprehensive machine, cardiac, and pulmonary indications, a lot of that are nearing INDs. Of be aware, for neurotrophin 3 or NT-3, we have now optimized the assemble for Charcot-Marie-Teeth kind 1A or CMT1A the use of AAVrh74 and at the moment are all of a sudden advancing to the health center following thrilling preclinical knowledge. As a reminder, we’re the use of a surrogate way for supply of the NT-3 gene to beef up myelination and nerve regeneration in CMT1A. This pipeline and a product way has applicability to different CMTs in addition to different demyelinating indications.

At the analysis aspect, we’ve got persisted to innovate throughout platforms. We’ve got optimized, advanced, and characterised new AAV capsids that may exchange the panorama for neuromuscular gene treatment and release possible in cardiac and CNS illness spaces. We also are using innovation in gene enhancing, enhanced supply for RNA and are pioneering new mechanisms to up-regulate gene expression. The longer term can’t be brighter for genetic drugs.

Additional, we look ahead to sharing knowledge with you later this yr round our FSHD1 and DM1 systems. As a reminder, SRP-1001, previously referred to as ARO-DUX4, is these days in medical advancement to regard FSHD1, an autosomal dominant illness related to the failure to care for whole epigenetic suppression of DUX4 expression and differentiated skeletal muscle, resulting in over-expression of DUX4, which is myotoxic and may end up in muscle degeneration. We’re inspired by way of the nonclinical knowledge generated so far and look ahead to the information readout later this yr. Turning to myotonic dystrophy kind 1 or DM1.

DM1 is pushed by way of an expanded CUG trinucleotide repeat within the three-prime untranslated area of DMPK transcripts. Those unusual transcripts reason misregulated splicing referred to as spliceopathy for sure messenger RNAs, that are without delay related to the medical manifestations of DM1. We imagine that silencing the it appears transcribed DMPK mRNA the use of SRP-1003, previously referred to as ARO-DM1, might lend a hand CUG expansion-related splice defects in sufferers with DM1 and thereby beef up muscle power and serve as. We look ahead to sharing the information from the SAD find out about later this yr as smartly.

Now, to talk about our RNA PMO platform. The ESSENCE trial, our post-marketing requirement for golodirsen and casimersen, in addition to MISSION, our or post-marketing dedication for EXONDYS, are each totally enrolled and stay heading in the right direction. We look ahead to sharing knowledge as quickly because the research are finished. In abstract, I would love to take the chance to thank the affected person neighborhood, investigators, and my Sarepta colleagues.

All this growth would no longer be imaginable with out you. And in the end, I would like to acknowledge this Friday is Uncommon Illness Day. There are greater than 7,000 infrequent illnesses, just a small % of that have any remedy. As an organization devoted to bringing forth new remedies for infrequent illness, it is the most important day for our staff and the sufferers we serve.

It is a day to replicate at the have an effect on of infrequent illness at the affected folks and their households and to recognize all of the paintings that also must be completed and to have a good time the growth that we’ve got made. With that, I will flip the decision over to Ian for an replace at the financials. Ian?

Ian Estepan — Govt Vice President, Leader Monetary Officer

Thank you, LRK. Neatly stated. Just right afternoon, everybody. This afternoon’s monetary effects press liberate equipped main points for the fourth quarter of 2024 on a GAAP in addition to a non-GAAP foundation.

Please confer with the click liberate and slide deck to be had on Sarepta’s site for a complete reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP monetary effects. For the 3 months ended December 31, 2024, the corporate recorded general revenues of $658.4 million, which is composed of internet product revenues and collaboration and different revenues in comparison to revenues of $396.8 million for a similar length of 2023, an building up of $261.6 million. Web product earnings for the fourth quarter of 2024 from ELEVIDYS used to be $384.2 million in comparison to $131.2 million for a similar length of 2023. Web product earnings for the fourth quarter of 2024 from our PMO exon-skipping franchise used to be $254 million in comparison to $233.8 million for a similar length of 2023.

The rise in internet product earnings essentially displays the web product earnings from gross sales of ELEVIDYS. Within the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we known $20.3 million of collaboration and different revenues in comparison to $31.7 million for a similar length of 2023. This earnings essentially pertains to our industrial ELEVIDYS provide dropped at Roche, royalty earnings, and our collaboration association with Roche. The reimbursable co-development prices beneath the Roche settlement totaled $26 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 in comparison to $23.5 million for a similar length of 2023.

As a reminder, those Roche reimbursable co-development prices are an offset to running bills. On a GAAP foundation, we reported internet source of revenue of $159 million or $1.65 in line with fundamental percentage and $1.50 in line with diluted percentage and a internet source of revenue of $45.7 million or $0.49 in line with fundamental percentage and $0.47 in line with diluted percentage for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. We reported a non-GAAP internet source of revenue of $206 million or $1.90 in line with diluted percentage within the fourth quarter of 2024 in comparison to a non-GAAP internet source of revenue of $86.6 million or $0.82 in line with diluted percentage within the fourth quarter of 2023. Within the fourth quarter of 2024, we recorded roughly $132.3 million in price of gross sales in comparison to $44.2 million in the similar length of 2023.

The rise essentially displays price of gross sales associated with ELEVIDYS throughout the 3 months ended December 31, 2024, following the label growth in June of 2024. On a GAAP foundation, we recorded $200 million and $195.5 million in R&D bills for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, a year-over-year building up of $4.5 million. The rise is essentially because of an building up in our production bills associated with the ramp-up of batches produced for our limb-girdle program, partly offset by way of a lower in medical trial bills associated with the discontinuation of the PPMO program. On a non-GAAP foundation, R&D bills had been $172.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 in comparison to $165.1 million for a similar length of 2023, an building up of $7.6 million.

Now, turning to SG&A. On a GAAP foundation, we recorded roughly $163.9 million and $131.7 million of bills for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, an building up of $32.2 million. The rise used to be pushed essentially by way of an building up in skilled products and services used to strengthen the continuing efforts to commercialize ELEVIDYS and ongoing litigation issues and an building up in repayment and different workforce bills essentially associated with adjustments in headcount. On a GAAP foundation, SG&A bills had been $131.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 in comparison to $105.7 million for a similar length of 2022, an building up of $25.9 million.

On a GAAP foundation, we recorded $10.1 million in different source of revenue internet for the fourth quarter 2024 in comparison to $15.7 million for a similar length of 2023. The exchange used to be essentially because of a lower in passion source of revenue and accretion of funding cut price internet on account of decrease rates of interest and the combination of our funding portfolio. As discussed previous, we are keeping up our 2025 general product earnings steerage, which displays a 68% enlargement from 2024 on the midpoint. We are also introducing expense steerage for 2025.

We wait for blended 2025 non-GAAP R&D and SG&A bills to be within the vary of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion. The incremental expense is nearly completely associated with Arrowhead advancement systems. Aside from those prices, our bills can be necessarily flat in comparison to the prior yr. And to conclude, we had roughly $1.5 billion in money, money equivalents, investments, and limited money as of December 31, 2024.

As Doug stated, now that the Arrowhead transaction is now closed, which used to be totally funded by way of our present money reserves, we challenge returning to equivalent money ranges by way of year-end of 2025, pushed by way of the sturdy ELEVIDYS release. Additional bolstering our monetary place, we secured a $600 million revolving credit score facility. The mix of a favorable trade outlook and our sturdy monetary place us in point of fact smartly to execute on our 2030 strategic objective. And with that, I will flip the decision again over to Doug for Q&A.

Doug?

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Thanks very a lot for that, Ian. And Lisa, let’s open the decision for questions.

Questions & Solutions:

Operator

Thanks. [Operator instructions] One second whilst we collect the Q&A roster. And our first query for as of late can be coming from the road of Tazeen Ahmad of Financial institution of The usa Securities. Your line is open.

Tazeen Ahmad — Analyst

OK, nice. Thanks for taking my query. I sought after to invite Doug concerning the cadence of what you are seeing in 1Q to this point in terms of the sufferers which might be being onboarded. You’ve gotten talked broadly about sure issues that can’t be modified, and also you reiterated your self belief about steerage for 2025.

However are you able to give us a bit bit extra granularity on, once more, what you are seeing in 1Q and the way we must be interested by the cadence of uptake for the remainder of the quarters this yr? Thank you.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Yeah. Thanks very a lot on your query, Tazeen. A few issues. First, let me reiterate my self belief at the steerage for the yr.

We really feel superb concerning the steerage that we’ve got. And I might remind everybody, we have now an excellent observe report of environment affordable steerage and assembly or very frequently exceeding that steerage. The one factor I will say about quarters going ahead is that we will be able to proceed to look enlargement quarter over quarter as we ramp this release. Issues clearly are going rather well for this release via 2024.

And I feel our steerage must suggest it is going rather well in ’25 as smartly. There’s a sure cadence to all of this, the whole thing from the beginning shape, the only case contracts that I have mentioned sooner than, the infusions, the desire for preexisting neutralizing antibody assays and the like that describes the cadence. However it is going rather well. And what we will see over the process this yr is enlargement quarter over quarter over quarter to succeed in our steerage for the complete yr, which, in fact, is $3 billion in general.

Just a little over two-thirds of that can be coming from ELEVIDYS and the remaining from our 3 PMOs. So, thanks for that.

Operator

Thanks. And one second for the following query. Our subsequent query can be coming from the road of Ellie Merle of UBS. Your line is open.

Ellie Merle — Analyst

Good day, guys, thank you such a lot for taking the query. For limb-girdle, simply out of your paintings within the house, what is the newest on what you notice for the superiority of 2E and what number of within the U.S. are recognized as of late, and the combination of ambulatory as opposed to non-ambulatory sufferers? Principally, if you are going to be launching right here subsequent yr, how must we be interested by the contribution probably to earnings? And what number of sufferers there may well be roughly looking forward to treatment? Thank you.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

I will provide the broadest strokes, after which I’ll flip the decision over to Louise, if she has any knowledge at the cut up between ambulatory and non-ambulatory. Clearly, Sort 2E is an overly infrequent illness. It is an ultra-rare illness. Actually, all the 3 sarcoglycan launches that we will have over the following 3 years are for my part very infrequent.

However jointly, they’ll constitute about 25% of the Duchenne ELEVIDYS alternative. So, they’ll be essential members, at the start, to be transparent. They’re going to be monumental members within the lives of sufferers residing with and being degenerated from those in point of fact devastating muscular dystrophies. After which they’ll be essential for the group as smartly.

However they are going to be modest. They’re going to be about 25% of Duchenne. So, they are going to be essential however modest. With that stated, further query that were requested used to be the cut up of ambulatory and non-ambulatory particularly because it pertains to Sort 2E.

And I have no idea, Louise, if in case you have any knowledge on that.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. There is most often a good cut up. I might say as genetic prognosis, particularly for limb-girdle, has come alongside. We’re seeing extra of the ambulatory inhabitants.

I feel traditionally, you can have stated it could be aimed toward the ambulatory, however now it is most often a 50-50 cut up.

Thanks. One second for the following query. And our subsequent query can be coming from the road of Gena Wang of Barclays. Your line is open.

Gena Wang — Analyst

Thanks for taking my questions. I’ve one query in regards to the knowledge replace later this yr for each FSHD and DM1. If I listen as it should be, DM1 will be the SAD knowledge. Is FSHD additionally SAD knowledge? And if there are SAD knowledge, what number of cohorts and the way lengthy follow-up, and what sort of knowledge you are going to percentage with us?

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Yeah. I can flip this to Dr. Rodino-Klapac to supply some colour on that.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Sure. So, for each FSHD1 and DM1, it’ll be the SAD knowledge. So, we will be — early, we will be that specialize in unmarried ascending dose find out about knowledge, which can be taken with protection, some early alerts of biomarker efficacy, which can be muscle focus, knockdown, necessarily splicing recovery as smartly. So, it’ll be early knowledge, however we look ahead to appearing that during the second one part of the yr for each.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Additionally in point of fact excited with FSHD as smartly that our hope, and naturally, we will handiest know when the information is available in, is that we will be capable to display via an assay the real direct knockdown of DUX4, which, in fact, is the objective of the treatment for FHSD. If we will do this, that could be a in point of fact vital evidence of biology as a result of no program sooner than has been ready but to succeed in that objective. So, we are very excited to look that as smartly.

Thanks. And our subsequent query can be coming from the road of Brian Abrahams of RBC. Your line is open.

Unknown speaker — RBC Capital Markets — Analyst

Hello. That is Kevin on for Brian. Thank you for taking our questions. So, possibly simply on limb-girdle Sort 2E.

Are you able to possibly let us know a bit bit about what you assume the bar is on your upcoming 2E knowledge? After which possibly how do you assume that bar interprets to different LGMD subtypes that we will ultimately see knowledge from? Thank you such a lot.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

We’ve got completed — I will touch upon it, after which, Louise, you replace with to any extent further precision. Extensively talking, we have now been running with the company over an overly lengthy time frame in essence to lend a hand train the company at the bar that are supposed to exist for those types of ultra-rare illnesses, in particular illnesses and treatments like SRP-9003 for limb-girdle Sort 2E, the place you are coping with the substitute of the local protein unaltered, which the absence of that protein is the only and unique reason for the illness. So, I am very proud to mention we have now very small finish research, they’re single-arm research. They give the impression of being to expression and protection.

So, within the broadest of strokes, the bar can be that we are getting great expression, I might hope, in large part in keeping with the expression that we’ve got noticed up to now as a result of take note, we’ve got in reality dosed SRP-9003 in prior cohorts, and naturally, a just right protection profile. We have now a large number of conviction round this, as you’ll smartly believe, first, as a result of we’ve got already in reality dosed sufferers with SRP-9003 but additionally as a result of SRP-9003 stands at the shoulders of all the paintings that we’ve got completed with 9001, now ELEVIDYS. We have now dosed masses and masses and masses of sufferers with ELEVIDYS. We perceive the legislation of the security profile, and we perceive the ability of our constructs and our promoter to get in point of fact just right expression and get it safely.

So, that is kind of the bar, and we are very assured about the place we are going to pass with that. And for your different query, this can be equivalent around the limb-girdle systems that we’ve got already aligned with the company at the way that we are taking for 9003 and 9004, and 9005. And we are assured that this impacts a modernization in the way in which the company is browsing at transformative treatments for ultra-rare illnesses. Louise, is there to any extent further element that I’ve neglected?

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. You summarized it smartly. Perhaps I will simply linger on one level, in the truth that for the sarcoglycans, LGMD2E being the primary, those are the full-length genes. So, on this case, beta-sarcoglycan is each the gene treatment.

Additionally it is the biomarker. We’ve got demonstrated broadly preclinically how the biomarker expression ends up in practical development. After which that translated in our research clinically, and we noticed two other doses. We noticed enhancements in each expression that ended in practical enhancements over the years.

The ones sufferers — we will be sharing five-year protection follow-up knowledge for the ones sufferers proceeding to do smartly. So, that can be our first find out about, after which the opposite sarcoglycans will stick to go well with. We are all the use of — we are the use of rh74 throughout that platform. So, no longer handiest are we leveraging the 9001 knowledge however then additionally the opposite sarcoglycans.

So, we are in just right place with regards to the results of those research and the end result of the BLA.

Thank you. I admire the replace. Congrats on all of the growth. Perhaps yet another query at the DM1, FSHD knowledge you can be sharing later this yr.

Do you assume the preliminary SAD, S-A-D, knowledge can be conclusive to the purpose the place buyers can resolve whether or not those systems are browsing awesome or no longer? Or do you want MAD knowledge? And the way would you outline superiority in those two systems? Thanks.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

I’ll flip this over widely to Louise to speak about it. Let me say on the inception — to begin with, I do not need to do what different small biotech firms frequently do, which is oversell early knowledge. The information has to conform. Those are, on the other hand, very, crucial proofs of biology.

So, I need to be very transparent, each from a security point of view, a muscle focus point of view, a knockdown point of view, a downstream gene-splicing point of view, and because it pertains to FSHD, the place you’ll in reality without delay see the knockdown of DUX4. So, whilst there will nonetheless be a lot of paintings to do from there and we do not need to oversell the information, it is a in point of fact, in point of fact essential second. And it must give no less than alerts of possible long run product profile as opposed to different possible approaches to FSHD and DM1. However Louise, if you’ll supply extra element.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. Simply so as to add to that, I might say that what we all know from the Arrowhead platform, what we’ve got noticed of their different systems, and from the preclinical knowledge is the interpretation from preclinical to medical. And so, we’ve got been excited to look that, and that’s the reason what we will be in search of, is that translation into the health center. So, it’ll indubitably be a just right indicator with regards to the knockdown that we are seeing, the muscle focus.

The ones are the issues we will be in search of. As powerful medical builders, we are clearly browsing to the MAD knowledge to come back following that. However indubitably, we are excited to look the SAD knowledge and the interpretation from preclinical and simply an extension in their already promising knowledge around the platform for Arrowhead.

Thank you for taking our query, and congrats at the growth. A query on ELEVIDYS from us. For the reason that it is been about 8 months now because the label growth, are you able to touch upon whether or not you may have noticed any reinvestments for PMOs in ELEVIDYS-treated sufferers? And if no longer, are you listening to anything else from payers round their willingness to reinvest PMOs following ELEVIDYS remedy? Thanks.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Yeah. So, let me say, Kostas, thanks on your query. In wide strokes, I can nonetheless be aware that it is nonetheless very early days. And so, making an attempt to attract wide conclusions is difficult.

As we’ve got famous, one of the crucial attention-grabbing, I feel, knowledge issues we must linger on for a 2nd is whilst we’ve got had all this good fortune, we nonetheless handiest handled not up to 5% of the addressable on-label affected person inhabitants for ELEVIDYS. And so, you were given to each have — to in point of fact check this factor, you have to have ELEVIDYS after which it’s a must to have the truth that ELEVIDYS is treating a affected person prior to now on PMO. However we do have circumstances of repayment of each. So, we’ve got already noticed that.

I do not need to oversell it at the moment. And I am certain we even have circumstances the place that wasn’t imaginable. However it is not black or white or binary at the moment. What I can reiterate, one of the crucial issues that we are very fascinated by is that to this point, we’ve not noticed vital internet cannibalization.

We will see some cannibalization within the U.S. We are seeing superb enlargement of our PMOs ex-U.S. After all, the overlap is understated for the reason that we handiest deal with 29% of sufferers with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with our PMOs. And it is great to look that we’ve got noticed some payers and prepared to place youngsters on sequential treatment publish gene treatment.

Nice. Thank you very a lot. So, since approval in ’23, it sort of feels just like the ELEVIDYS launches had a couple of other phases with nice enlargement early on following sped up approval, then a few flat to down quarters in early ’24, adopted by way of a pleasing — in point of fact great go back to enlargement following the expanded label in mid-’24. So, since your ’25 steerage turns out to suggest that enlargement this yr must be extra reasonable, I am simply questioning if you’ll give us your view concerning the level of the release that we are in now and the way you notice it evolving this yr.

Are there any essential constraints to enlargement that we must have in mind this yr?

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

So, Joe, thanks on your query. And I can say with due appreciate, I don’t signify our release precisely the way in which you do. I might say we had an excellent release in ’23 with an overly skinny label. Then we had — we accomplished one thing that I — accomplished, which is an overly, very wide label.

However in fact, the cadence for that broader release calls for the herbal cadence of youngsters getting on treatment, which, to remind everybody, although we had completed an excellent process on web page readiness and get admission to and repayment already, there may be only a cadence to getting the children on treatment that takes about 4 months. And there may be in point of fact no magic to solving that as a result of it is the cadence of the only case contract and the scheduling and the infusion beds and the quantity of follow-up and the assay paintings and the like. So, there is a sure cadence. We had expected precisely what we noticed in ’24, which used to be we might see this hockey stick ramp towards the again part of the yr, which is precisely what we noticed.

And as you recognize, we grew within the fourth quarter by way of 112%. After which I might be aware for this yr, I imply, with appreciate towards the observation that the expansion is understated this yr, we are going to develop with ELEVIDYS over 160% yr over yr. And I might put that up — smartly, first, I will’t put it up towards every other gene treatment, let’s be transparent, as a result of we have now blown away each and every different gene treatment cumulatively.

Yeah. So, let me resolution the closing query first. So, our objective, if a success, is to conform nearly all of our gene treatment systems to suspension. Actually, if I am not fallacious, Louise, you can right kind me if I’m the one program that may stay in adherent, it is simply the timing of it and we did not need to decelerate the approval as youngsters are looking forward to it, is 9003.

Even all of the different sarcoglycans can be in suspension. And widely talking, in fact, it is very bad to kind of to take a look at to estimate the COGS have an effect on. We’ve got were given extra paintings to do, however it’ll be very, very vital. We are seeing upwards of 5x to even larger instances extra yield efficiencies.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. We are within the early phases, I might say, for FSHD. Doug alluded to it, however we are in a singular place with FSHD, the place we have now an assay that in reality can quantify the knockdown of the main defect within the indication, which is DUX4. And so, that provides us a singular alternative with regards to possible biomarkers as smartly.

In those early research, we’re browsing at more than one biomarkers and practical results. And that’s the reason in point of fact what those Segment 1 research are meant to take action then you’ll optimize and pick out the most productive trail ahead. I feel it is a possibility to guage so far as splicing. I feel it’s one of the biomarkers.

So, whether or not it will be the sole biomarker is one thing left to be explored.

It does not appear love it’s call for in any sense at the moment. So, what is kind of the step-throughs which might be roughly developing blocks from understanding the complete call for? Is it like would one be like an insurance coverage authorization? Would two be heart capability? May just you favor roughly rank order the ones?

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Yeah. Rank ordering is tricky. Let me flip this over to Dallan and drive him into rank order. However let me say a few issues.

I do not need to name them blocks as a result of it is only a cadence factor. It might be like pronouncing — Dallan frequently makes use of a metaphor that that is frequently like — bring to mind this greater than — this isn’t like prescribing a drug. That is nearly extra like organ transplant. There is simply a large number of steps that experience to head via to get from right here to a child dose.

That is why it is a few four-month procedure. And I will provide you with some knowledge on that. There are one thing like 25 folks at web page of care that contact this treatment transferring from the beginning shape to the infusion. And that is going via a lot of other departments, no longer simply the interior pharmacy and the establishments which might be — and the nurses and the doctor.

Additionally it is all of the long ago into the monetary house and the CFO of the group and the like. And so, there may be only a cadence. I imply, provide you with an instance, Brian, that there’s — it is a few — it may be up to a four-week or an extended procedure to do the only case contract. Virtually each and every time a affected person will get dosed, the web page and the payer input into a particular web page contract.

It is an administrative step. It needs to be completed. It’s completed. It is completed rather well.

We perceive the method exceptionally smartly. I am somewhat assured now. I will say that with out worry of being smug. There is no group on the earth that understands this procedure in addition to we do.

However there may be only a cadence to this. And it’s all of the issues you are citing. It is the very procedure of having the primary assembly after which attending to the assay after which getting the infusion web page in a position. On the similar time, it is the get started shape within the unmarried case contract.

It is negotiating with the payers if it’s a must to. It is, when vital, negotiating with the payers round it. Be mindful, I can remark in this. There is been externally some false impression relating to payers and a few somewhat superficial surveys that had been completed.

Glance, we are doing in point of fact nice with payers at the moment. We are doing higher with payers with ELEVIDYS than we did with the PMOs. And I might be aware, we’ve got completed in point of fact, in point of fact smartly with the PMOs over the time, I feel, as somebody would agree. The insurance policies in point of fact set themselves into 3 buckets.

Insurance policies — there may be a large number of insurance policies which might be simply dosed to label, give get admission to to label greater than there have been with the PMO. So, we are in point of fact fascinated by that. A few of our larger payers are in that camp. There are some payers that experience restrictions, and there are some payers that experience a large number of restrictions.

The attention-grabbing factor is that — the ones other insurance policies won’t impact as of late without equal child getting at the treatment. What they do is internally, they outline the period of time to get a child on treatment and the quantity of labor that must be completed to get a child on treatment, however they get on treatment. So, I simply need to get everybody’s head round that concept. And our PMOs, with 8 years of battle-hardened enjoy, our win fee, if we — a payer goes to be very resistant and take us to an interior/exterior enchantment, is over 90%.

With ELEVIDYS at the moment, we are sitting at the moment at 100%. So, no child has been completely denied treatment so far. So, in any tournament, all of these items describe this wide cadence this is a few four-month procedure. However Dallan, if you wish to rank order then for —

Dallan Murray — Vice President, Advertising and marketing

Yeah. Neatly, Brian, I feel you’ll summarize the whole thing that Doug is pronouncing with one phrase, which is time, proper? The entirety right here takes time. And so, you in point of fact, subsequently, can’t level to 1 factor. As I stated in my ready remarks, we have now powerful affected person call for.

We have now extra call for than can also be handled as of late. We have now abundant web page capability. We have now sufficient web page capability to regard our height forecast. We’ve got were given fantastic tendencies in get admission to and repayment that we are permitting to transform sufferers inside of that constant three- to five-month time period.

So, the ones in combination, then while you layer in what Doug stated, it is only a recreation of time to get those sufferers on treatment. And that’s all truth. As a result of we’ve got were given a deep and really detailed line of sight into all of this, that is what informs our quarter-to-quarter enlargement and our steerage for the yr.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

And I can say it is almost certainly two issues. It is time and it is being attentive to element, which Sarepta is in point of fact just right at. We’re — I’m sitting right here, I can let you know, at our nationwide coaching assembly as of late with all of our people centered in this. And so they — the quantity and a focus, obsession to element and the fervour to verify a child by no means slips in the course of the cracks however can get in this treatment and have the benefit of ELEVIDYS is insane.

And that explains why we’ve got been such a success. And it explains why we’re so pleased with our steerage for 2025, which — I might say it is very powerful steerage, $3 billion. It is a 70% enlargement general for the yr. And because it pertains to ELEVIDYS, over 160% enlargement yr over yr, which speaks to the execution talent of this group out right here at Scottsdale.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Neatly, first, there are not any next-generation gene treatment systems. So, I’ll right kind the report on that. That is a misstatement. However glance, a few ideas on it.

We do remember the fact that Cast put out some very, very early first-in-human knowledge. A few ideas. First, implausible. We’re delighted that various organizations are browsing at researching new treatments for youngsters with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

And to be fair, we take a large number of delight in it as a result of I feel — however for the good fortune that we’ve got had with our PMOs and with ELEVIDYS, they would not have this powerful center of attention on discovering new treatments for youngsters. So, we are very fascinated by that. I do need to be aware that we need to keep in mind that households with Duchenne muscular dystrophy must make tricky selections as of late, and so they want correct knowledge to cause them to. That is for the households to make.

Obviously, there’s one absolute overarching truth, which is there’s one licensed treatment this is transformative in nature, that could be a disease-modifying gene treatment, and that’s ELEVIDYS. And that may deal with 80% of kids with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and younger males and sometimes girls with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. And our objective is to make certain that households have the precise knowledge so they may be able to make the precise selections, which is frequently an overly tricky determination. Do you get the present treatment? Do you have a look at a medical trial and take a treatment that is been examined much less and the like? However I simply need to ensure the one factor I — I am very delighted with the others that specialize in this.

I feel it is a in point of fact fantastic for the Duchenne neighborhood, and everyone must applaud it. However I do need to ensure persons are offering the precise, balanced, affordable knowledge so folks could make clever selections and no longer make the incorrect selections. And the real determination that individuals make between coming into right into a medical trial for a brand new experimental treatment as opposed to getting on an licensed treatment that is been proven to be secure in programs is a troublesome determination that is going to be made between the households and their healthcare supplier optimistically correctly knowledgeable with all of the present knowledge.

Yeah, I feel it will be important in the truth that the dystrophin house is exclusive for gene treatment and that within the small dystrophin house, you are looking at other practical contributions from those constructs. And so, the standard of the dystrophin that you are generating is terribly essential.

Simply one of the crucial issues that we famous in our research once we examine it to different constructs used to be the inclusion of spectrin repeat 3 for balance of the assemble, and we discovered that over the years that this used to be crucial to the capability of our assemble and the corresponding practical development that we noticed that corresponded from preclinical paintings to medical paintings. And so, it used to be — as you all know, you may have been in this adventure with us masses of sufferers over a few years in more than one medical research appearing the similar factor with regards to the expression resulting in practical receive advantages and clearly with a standard approval now and over 600 sufferers handled each clinically and commercially.

We may should be very cautious about that as a result of it is really easy to do this stuff in ways in which give false knowledge. But when we get the ones ranges of vector genome copies in line with nucleus and we get the type of expression that we’ve got noticed each in 9003 and 9001, we are very assured that we will get an approval, assuming that protection is there, and we are very assured about that. So far as modeling, it is means too early to be modeling pageant from folks that experience one, two, and 3 sufferers in those early experimental treatments. More than likely have not even found out production at that time.

Undoubtedly, we would not be modeling anything else this decade in any tournament. It is one thing we will glance to if folks will in reality get started progressing.

Dallan Murray — Vice President, Advertising and marketing

Despite the fact that I might say — thanks for the query for the reason that dimension of that incident inhabitants is in point of fact underappreciated. It is in point of fact double the dimensions of the ZOLGENSMA marketplace these days. We will be in a position for any pageant when it comes. As Doug stated, it is going to be a very long time coming.

And we in point of fact are fascinated by the potential of treating sufferers previous and maintaining serve as previous in that affected person adventure. So, it is a nice query from the point of view of an overly underappreciated a part of the Duchenne marketplace alternative.

Hello, guys. That is Priyanka on for Anupam. Thanks for taking our fast query. Because the R&D Day is in the second one part of the yr, are we able to suppose possible new knowledge might be introduced there from Arrowhead or different non-Arrowhead pipeline systems? Thanks.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

I will flip that to Louise to remark.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

I don’t believe we stated precisely the timing of when we will be able to provide the Arrowhead knowledge. All of it depends upon the timing of the information liberate and the way that strains up with R&D Day. We are excited to speak about the platform most often, I might say that, as a part of R&D Day and our deep pipeline that we’ve not in point of fact been ready to percentage intimately. So, we look ahead to that.

As we have now extra timing, we will percentage with you.

Thanks. And the following query can be coming from the road of Biren Amin of Piper Sandler. Your line is open.

Biren Amin — Analyst

Yeah. Hello, guys. Thank you for taking my questions. For the EMERGENE trial, I feel you are enrolling each ambulatory and non-ambulatory sufferers whilst the Segment 1 enrolled ambulatory.

So, must we predict expression can be equivalent non-ambulatory sufferers to what used to be seen within the Segment 1 ambulatory knowledge? After which while you document those knowledge, will you be evaluating those to the NCH, herbal historical past cohort?

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Louise?

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. A few issues in there. So, we’ve got handled each ambulatory and non-ambulatory sufferers since we see equivalent ranges of expression. So, the EMERGENE — the research will analyze the ones two populations break away a practical point of view.

That would be the follow-on find out about, the confirmatory find out about. However from an expression stage, sure, we will be able to assessment each. In the case of what we are evaluating it to, we have now our personal JOURNEY herbal historical past find out about, and that would be the comparator for the confirmatory find out about.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Yeah. And simply our historical past has proven that we get nice expression around the continuum of illness from very younger to very complex.

Thanks. And our subsequent query can be coming from the road of Gavin Clark-Gartner of Evercore. Your line is open.

Gavin Clark-Gartner — Evercore ISI — Analyst

Thank you for taking the query. I simply sought after to concentrate on terminal price. So, if I have a look at the outer yr of consensus estimates, take 2033, I see about $2.2 billion in U.S. ELEVIDYS gross sales.

So, that suggests about 850 to 900 handled sufferers yearly. Perhaps, Dallan, it is advisable simply remind us like particularly what you are seeing on U.S. incidents. However extra widely, do you imagine this consensus estimate is believable? And possibly give an explanation for what has to occur for ELEVIDYS to achieve and keep into that vary into the following decade.

Thanks.

Dallan Murray — Vice President, Advertising and marketing

That is the — the incident inhabitants, you are kind of browsing at what the terminal incident inhabitants can be. Within the U.S., the incident inhabitants can be someplace within the low 400s, 420, 430. So, you’ll do the maths on that. After which, in fact, we will have the PMOs on most sensible of it for the reason that PMOs are enduring as smartly.

After which by way of that time, even supposing this may well be speculative till we solved it, we will be able to most likely have solved the redosing factor by way of the 2030s as smartly. So, you’ll — you will have to upload to that that idea as smartly. And naturally, if you are speaking — that is the terminal price on ELEVIDYS. It is not the terminal price at the corporate.

As you recognize, if all is going smartly, we will be launching 3 limb-girdle systems within the subsequent actually annually for the following couple of years. We have now new ones coming. We have now new INDs. And if all is going smartly, we will be launching FSHD in 2028.

We will be launching DM1 in 2029. Either one of the ones are multibillion-dollar height U.S. gross sales alternative. So, clearly, the terminal price can be vital at the group as a complete.

Thanks. One second for the following query. And the following query is coming from the road of Sami Corwin of William Blair. Your line is open.

Sami Corwin — Analyst

Nice. Thanks. Congrats at the growth. I used to be curious how you are interested by the evolution of your gross margins in 2025 and 2026 as ELEVIDYS starts to compromise a bigger proportion of your earnings.

After which a handy guide a rough query on our FSHD program. Is that this DUX4 assay new? Or used to be it advanced in-house? And may just you simply elaborate on it a bit extra? Thanks.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

Certain. I will flip the evolution query to Ian, after which Louise can contact at the DUX4 assay factor.

Ian Estepan — Govt Vice President, Leader Monetary Officer

Yeah. So, from a margin point of view, what we stated is that clearly, we’ve got already expensed the stock already. And so, that is beginning to come off. After which over the years, as we proceed to regard heavier sufferers, you are going to see the margin pass down.

We predict it to be in the type of top 70s as we proceed to penetrate into the non-ambulant affected person inhabitants. However as Doug stated, as we proceed to paintings on our suspension production procedure, we predict that to start out getting a lot — considerably upper, trending towards 90%. So, as we are treating the heavy inhabitants, we predict the margins to beef up within the ’27 time period.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. And simply at the DUX4 assay, it is a quantitative assay advanced by way of Arrowhead. As we’ve got discussed, DUX4 is expressed at low ranges, someplace across the example of 1 in 1,000 nuclei. So, it is tricky to measure, however Arrowhead has effectively completed that.

And so, that is an assay that we will be onboarding as smartly. However we are excited to look it as a result of it is not one thing that is been ready to be completed within the box.

Just right afternoon. That is Dan on for Mitch. Thank you for taking our query, and congratulations at the fantastic money move for the yr. So, payers we’ve got spoken with have stated that they have got had sufferers enjoy two rounds of appeals and had been in the long run denied.

Would an IRO denial no longer depend as everlasting denial? And if no longer, what qualifies as everlasting denial? Thanks.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

I am not certain. I do know that — I am not certain who you spoke to. I do know you probably did a survey. One used to be in reality no longer a payer.

It used to be PBM. And I feel you’ll have talked to 1 payer. We haven’t any youngsters which were completely denied treatment. I am not suggesting that it’ll all the time be 100%.

Our PMOs development above 90% during the last 8 years, however we are seeing even a greater reaction than the PMOs of ELEVIDYS. So, we are doing somewhat smartly. We haven’t any child that is been completely denied treatment. Some are nonetheless in procedure, however no child has been completely denied treatment.

Dallan Murray — Vice President, Advertising and marketing

Hello, guys. That is Leo on for Uy. Thanks for taking our query. May just you supply some element at the learnings from the pre-BLA assembly with the FDA on 9003 and the way those learnings may well be carried out to the follow-on limb-girdle systems? After which additionally in accordance with the new adjustments inside the company, how do you assume FDA interactions may exchange going ahead? Thank you.

Douglas Ingram — President and Leader Govt Officer

So, Louise, do you need to the touch on any such pre-BLA discussions widely?

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. Extensively, it used to be an especially fantastic assembly, I feel, throughout all the various things that you’d talk to with regards to the nonclinical knowledge, the medical plan for the medical trial used to be counseled, CMC with regards to our plan. So, that used to be counseled. The usage of beta-sarcoglycan as a surrogate biomarker for sped up approval used to be counseled.

So, it used to be an overly fantastic assembly. The company indubitably understands in ultra-rare illnesses, the demanding situations which might be confronted with that with regards to trial design, with regards to production. So, we’ve got already set the level for the opposite follow-on sarcoglycans. So, I feel it bodes smartly for all the platform, and we are indubitably inspired by way of it and indubitably noticed a transformation within the company during the last two years and in point of fact promising.

And that’s the reason one thing we look ahead to as we whole the opposite two sarcoglycans as smartly.

I do need to say we’re very happy with — I’m very happy with the paintings that Louise and her group have completed, running with the company to conform and modernize the option to ultra-rare illness. And it is paid dividends for the limb-girdle systems, no longer handiest 9003 B and past. However I additionally need to give credit score to the department itself. I’ve to mention the middle director, Dr.

Marks, has had a imaginative and prescient for being considerate and modernizing the department and comporting with fashionable science and no longer developing limitations that make it unviable to regard ultra-rare illness sufferers. And I feel that Dr. Verdun, the pinnacle of OTP, has completed in point of fact a phenomenal process of taking that imaginative and prescient and operationalizing it in ways in which we are seeing and I feel others are seeing as smartly, which as we take into accounts Uncommon Illness Day arising on Friday and I feel we stated some in point of fact sensible ideas on that, I imply, it is simply poignant that I feel we are transferring in the precise path as a folks so to deliver a greater lifestyles to sufferers with ultra-rare illness.

Thanks. And our subsequent query can be coming from the road of Salveen Richter of Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.

Unknown speaker — RBC Capital Markets — Analyst

Thank you for taking our questions. That is Tommie on for Salveen. Simply general, what do you notice is Arrowhead’s differentiation with regards to roughly their chemistry or construction as opposed to another RNA approaches in DM1 and FSHD? And on ELEVIDYS, is there flexibility to increase upon present infusion heart capability, together with, for example, staffing wishes? Thanks.

Dallan Murray — Vice President, Advertising and marketing

I’ll flip the primary a part of the query to Louise. Let me in brief discuss ELEVIDYS. So, what we in point of fact want to perceive is that it is a very detailed cadence from starting to get a child dose. So, web page capability is not on my own the problem.

Folks frequently say, smartly, what in the event you discovered a technique to have extra infusion days? That will be nice. However then you want infusion nurses. Then you want follow-up. Then you want extra single-case contracts.

Then you want to take into accounts, again within the finance serve as, what are the credit score limits related to all of that. So, it in point of fact is solely sure cadence. The article that I am fascinated by is that this group has unlocked this chance and in point of fact turn out to be mavens in that cadence, and that’s the reason why we are ready to supply steerage of $3 billion for the yr for the reason that group has found out. However this is — the cadence is the cadence.

And I don’t believe the chance for dramatically converting that exists. And with that, I will flip the primary a part of the query over to Louise.

Louise Rodino-Klapac — Govt Vice President, Head of Analysis and Construction, and Leader Medical Officer

Yeah. On Arrowhead, I feel the excellent resolution is that Arrowhead is taken with each and every facet of the assemble. And so, we adore the diligence in their way. I wish to name out their focused on ligands as being a differentiator as a result of attending to the precise tissue with regards to muscle for FSHD and DM1 the use of the alpha — the beta focused on ligand that we use the similar one with MyoAAV, for instance.

We all know that it really works smartly in muscle. So, that is a differentiator. However they center of attention at the design from the siRNA, from the focused on ligands, from each and every facet of the assemble. And so, we identical to their complete diligent way.

It is one thing that we type with gene treatment, for instance. And so, I feel it is all the above, however we indubitably admire their focused on ligands for the more than a few tissues.
