- Second independent launch on track with donidalorsen PDUFA
August 21, 2025 -

CARLSBAD, Calif., February 19, 2025 – Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IONS) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth
quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
“With the recent launch of our first independent medicine, TRYNGOLZA for familial chylomicronemia syndrome, Ionis has begun a new chapter as a fully integrated
commercial-stage biotechnology company,” said Brett P. Monia, Ph.D., chief executive officer, Ionis. “Over the next three years, we expect three more independent launches, including donidalorsen later this year for hereditary angioedema and
olezarsen for severe hypertriglyceridemia in 2026, pending Phase 3 results in the second half of this year. Additionally, our partners are on track to launch four Ionis-discovered medicines over the same time period, including several that address
broad patient populations. Ionis continues to advance our next wave of potentially transformational wholly owned medicines, including ION582 for Angelman syndrome, which is on track to start Phase 3 development in the first half of this year. Our recent achievements, combined with our strong commercial execution and advancing pipeline, position Ionis to deliver increasing value for all our stakeholders.”

Fourth Quarter, Full Year 2024 Financial Results and 2025 Financial Guidance
“In 2024, we exceeded our revenue guidance due to our continued pipeline and technology successes, which drove a smaller than anticipated operating loss. Importantly,
we added two new sources of commercial revenue with TRYNGOLZA product revenue from Ionis’ first independent launch and WAINUA royalties,” said Elizabeth L. Hougen, chief financial officer, Ionis. “In 2025, we will continue to invest in go-to-market activities for TRYNGOLZA for FCS and scale our resources to support our next planned launches, including donidalorsen for hereditary angioedema later this year. At the
same time, we are investing in our next wave of medicines, including Phase 3 development and pre-commercialization activities for ION582 for Angelman syndrome. These important investments position Ionis to deliver substantial and growing product
revenue; and when combined with increasing royalty revenue from anticipated partner launches, provides us with a clear path to achieve sustained positive cash flow.”

Commercial revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 included new sources of commercial revenue with the launch of WAINUA in the U.S. in late January 2024 and the
launch of TRYNGOLZA in the U.S. in late December 2024. SPINRAZA product sales in the U.S. increased slightly in 2024 compared to 2023. SPINRAZA product sales outside of the U.S. were impacted from an annual order from a single country that did not
recur in 2024.
R&D revenue decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to the decrease in WAINUA joint development revenue as development
activities relating to ATTRv-PN wound down with the launch of WAINUA.
Operating Expenses
Ionis’ operating expenses increased slightly for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023. SG&A expenses increased year over year primarily due to the
launches of WAINUA and TRYNGOLZA, and advancing launch preparation activities for donidalorsen. R&D expenses were flat year over year.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2024, Ionis’ cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $2.3 billion, consistent with December 31, 2023. In September 2024, Ionis
generated gross proceeds of $500 million from a public offering of its common stock. Ionis’ working capital increased as of December 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023 primarily from the Company’s lower current liabilities as a result of lower
deferred contract revenue.
2025 Financial Guidance
The Company’s 2025 financial guidance reflects its evolution to a fully integrated commercial-stage biotechnology company independently launching its first medicine,
TRYNGOLZA, and advancing commercialization efforts for multiple additional upcoming planned launches. As a result, the Company expects to earn substantial revenue from numerous diverse sources, with a shift toward increasing commercial revenue.
Additionally, the Company expects a modest increase in its non-GAAP operating expenses in line with its plan to invest in the Company’s independent launches and advance its wholly owned pipeline of innovative medicines. The Company expects that these
investments will enable Ionis to deliver accelerating value.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Basis
As illustrated in the Selected Financial Information in this press release, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, and non-GAAP net loss were
adjusted from GAAP to exclude compensation expense related to equity awards and the related tax effects. Compensation expense related to equity awards are non-cash. These measures are provided as supplementary information and are not a substitute for
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Ionis reports these non-GAAP results to better enable financial statement users to assess and compare its historical performance and project its future operating results and cash flows. Further,
the presentation of Ionis’ non-GAAP results is consistent with how Ionis’ management internally evaluates the performance of its operations.
