WARREN, N.J., February 27, 2025 – PTC Therapeutics, Inc., (NASDAQ: PTCT) today announced a corporate update and financial results for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2024.  

 

“Our strong fourth quarter rounds out a year of significant accomplishment across every part of our company,” said Matthew B. Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer. “In 2024, our commercial team delivered another outstanding performance, we achieved all clinical and regulatory milestones on schedule and we solidified our balance sheet. We now have over $2 billion in cash to support our planned commercial and R&D activities in 2025 and beyond. With the many accomplishments of 2024 and our team’s demonstrated ability to execute across every part of the business, we have built a strong foundation for continued success.” 

Key Corporate Updates:  

Fourth quarter 2024 total revenue of $213 million
Fourth quarter 2024 revenue for the DMD franchise of $144 million, including net product revenue for Translarna of $94 million and for Emflaza® of $50 million
Sold Rare Disease PRV received with FDA approval of Kebilidi for $150 million
License and collaboration agreement signed with Novartis for PTC518 Huntington’s disease program, closed in January 2025

Key Clinical and Regulatory Milestones:  

PTC submitted four regulatory approval applications to FDA in 2024, all of which have been accepted for review:
oKebilidi (eladocagene exuparvovec-tneq) gene therapy for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the U.S., approved in November 2024
oSepiapterin for children and adults with PKU, with a target regulatory action date of July 29, 2025
oVatiquinone for children and adults with Friedreich’s ataxia, granted priority review with a target regulatory action date of August 19, 2025
oTranslarna for nmDMD
PTC submitted several additional marketing authorization applications outside the U.S. for sepiapterin in 2024, with CHMP opinion on sepiapterin MAA expected in Q2 2025 and a regulatory decision in Japan expected in Q4 2025.
Type C meeting with FDA held in December 2024 to discuss HTT lowering as potential surrogate endpoint to support accelerated approval for PTC518 for HD. The Agency was aligned with the scientific rationale for HTT lowering as a potential surrogate endpoint and asked that PTC provide


additional clinical data, such as those being collected in PIVOT-HD, to show associations between HTT lowering and changes in clinical outcome measures.
12-month results from the PIVOT-HD Phase 2 study of PTC518 expected in Q2 2025.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights:

Total revenues were $213.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $307.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Total revenue was $806.8 million for full year 2024, compared to $937.8 million for full year 2023.
Total revenue includes net product revenue across the commercial portfolio of $154.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $601.0 million for full year 2024, compared to $155.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $661.2 million for full year 2023. Total revenue also includes royalty, collaboration, and manufacturing revenue of $58.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $205.8 million for full year 2024, compared to $152.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $276.6 million for full year 2023.
Translarna net product revenues were $93.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $75.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Translarna net product revenues were $339.9 million for full year 2024, compared to $355.8 million for full year 2023.
Emflaza net product revenues were $50.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $67.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Emflaza net product revenues were $207.2 million for full year 2024, compared to $255.1 million for full year 2023. These results were driven by the expiration of Emflaza’s orphan drug exclusivity in February 2024.
Roche reported Evrysdi® full year 2024 sales of approximately 1,631 CHF million, resulting in royalty revenue of $203.9 million to PTC for full year 2024, as compared to $168.9 million for full year 2023. Also in the fourth quarter of 2023, PTC recorded a sales milestone of $100.0 million for the achievement of $1.5 billion in worldwide annual net sales from Evrysdi. This sales milestone was recorded as collaboration revenue.
Based on U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), GAAP R&D expenses were $124.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $121.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP R&D expenses were $534.5 million for full year 2024, compared to $666.6 million for full year 2023. The slight increase in R&D expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 reflects additional costs due to manufacturing, regulatory filings, and inspections primarily related to Kebilidi and sepiapterin. The decrease in R&D expense for full year 2024 relates to decreases in program spend related to our strategic portfolio prioritization as we continue to focus our resources on our differentiated, high potential research and development programs. R&D expense also included a total of $65.0 million regulatory success-based milestones paid to the former Censa securityholders for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to a $30.0 million success-based development milestone payable to the former Censa securityholders for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $116.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, excluding $8.8 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, compared to $113.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, excluding $8.1 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $497.9 million for full year 2024, excluding $36.6 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, compared to $613.6 million for full year 2023, excluding $52.9 million in non- cash, stock-based compensation expense.
GAAP SG&A expenses were $84.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $76.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. GAAP SG&A expenses were $300.9 million for full year 2024, compared to $332.5 million for full year 2023. The increase in SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 reflects our continued investment to support commercial activities, including expanding our commercial portfolio. The decrease in SG&A expense for full year 2024 was primarily due to lower employee costs as a result of the reduction in the workforce in 2023.
Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $76.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, excluding $8.4 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, compared to $67.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, excluding $8.4 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP SG&A


expenses were $262.9 million for full year 2024, excluding $38.0 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, compared to $283.8 million for full year 2023, excluding $48.7 million in non- cash, stock-based compensation expense.
The change in the fair value of deferred and contingent consideration was a gain of $10.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a gain of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Change in the fair value of deferred and contingent consideration was a gain of $4.5 million for full year 2024, compared to a gain of $127.7 million for full year 2023. The full year 2024 change is primarily related to the Company’s strategic portfolio prioritization and decision to discontinue its preclinical and early research programs in its gene therapy platform in May 2023, which included programs for FA and Angelman syndrome.
The intangible asset impairment was $159.5 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, compared to $0.0 million for fourth quarter and $217.8 million for the full year 2023, which represented a non-cash charge. For the fourth quarter and full year 2024, we impaired $159.5 million related to a decrease in projected cash flows due to refinements in current market assumptions and the timing of patient treatments for AADC. For the full year 2023, we fully impaired the FA and Angelman syndrome intangible assets and recorded impairment expense of $217.8 million.
Net loss was $65.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net loss of $155.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Net loss was $363.3 million for full year 2024, compared to net loss of $626.6 million for full year 2023.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities was $1,139.7 million on December 31, 2024, compared to $876.7 million on December 31, 2023.
Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024, were 77,704,188.

PTC Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance: 

PTC anticipates total revenues for full year 2025 to be between $600 million and $800 million, including in-line products, potential new product launches, and royalty revenue from Evrysdi.
PTC anticipates GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses for full year 2025 to be between $805 million and $835 million. 
PTC anticipates non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses for full year 2025 to be between $730 million and $760 million, excluding estimated non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $75 million. 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: 

In this press release, the financial results of PTC are provided in accordance with GAAP and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, the non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expense financial measures exclude non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as a complement to financial measures reported in GAAP because management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing and identifying operational trends. In management's opinion, these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other users of PTC's financial statements by providing greater transparency into the historical and projected operating performance of PTC and the company's future outlook. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Quantitative reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their respective closest equivalent GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.
