NOTES TO CONDENSED Consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Nature of the Business

Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, known as Amylyx or the Company, is a biotechnology company that is committed to the discovery and development of new treatment options for communities with high unmet needs, including people living with serious and fatal diseases. The Company has preclinical or clinical development programs underway in neurodegenerative, neuroendocrine and endocrine diseases.

On July 9, 2024, Amylyx completed the acquisition of avexitide for the potential treatment of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, a disease of the endocrine system. Avexitide is an investigational, first-in-class glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, receptor antagonist that has been evaluated in five clinical trials for post-bariatric hypoglycemia, or PBH, and has also been studied in congenital hyperinsulinism, or HI, two indications characterized by hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or 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). Amylyx expects to begin the Phase 3 program for avexitide in PBH in the first quarter of 2025.

The Company is also investigating AMX0035, developed by Amylyx, in both neurodegenerative and neuroendocrine diseases where endoplasmic reticulum, or ER, stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are implicated, including progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, and Wolfram syndrome. The Company dosed the first participant in the HELIOS trial, a Phase 2 trial of AMX0035 for the treatment of Wolfram syndrome, in April 2023. Amylyx plans to present the HELIOS topline data for all 12 participants at Week 24, including all of the longer-term data available for participants who have reached their Week 36 or Week 48 visit at that time, at a medical meeting this fall. The Company is engaging with stakeholders, including the FDA, and planning for a single Phase 3 clinical trial and will share additional details on the clinical trial design once finalized. The Company dosed the first participant in the ORION trial, a Phase 2b/3 global clinical trial of AMX0035 for the treatment of PSP, in December 2023. Data from an interim analysis of the ORION are expected in mid-2025. The Company is also advancing additional drug candidates developed by Amylyx for neurodegenerative diseases including AMX0114, a potent antisense oligonucleotide targeting inhibition of Calpain-2, a key contributor to the axonal (also known as Wallerian) degeneration pathway. The Company is preparing to initiate a multiple ascending dose clinical trial of AMX0114 in people living with ALS in the second half of 2024.

In April 2024, the Company announced it had started a process with the FDA and Heath Canada to voluntarily discontinue the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ (AMX0035) for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, and remove the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada based on topline results from the global Phase 3 PHOENIX trial, which failed to meet its prespecified primary and secondary endpoints. The Company will continue to collect available data on survival and to share learnings from PHOENIX to help inform future ALS research. Amylyx is planning to wind down the Open Label Extension by the end of 2024. Separately, the PHOENIX survival data collection efforts will continue at the encouragement of ALS specialists.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, the outcome of preclinical studies and clinical trials, potential difficulties with or delays in timing with respect to regulatory approval processes, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, ability to secure additional capital to fund operations, and risks associated with the economic challenges caused by economic uncertainty in various global markets caused by geopolitical instability and conflict. The Company and its contractors may experience disruptions in supply of items that are essential for its research and development activities, including, for example, raw materials and bulk drug substances that the Company imports from Europe and Canada used in the manufacturing of AMX0035, avexitide and any additional or future product candidates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of those consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to its significant accounting policies.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company's management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the ASC, and Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of the financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. Management’s estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU 2023-09, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, or ASU 2023-09, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company beginning the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. PRODUCT REVENUE, NET

To date, the Company’s only source of product revenue had been from sales of RELYVRIO, known as ALBRIOZA in Canada. Significant judgment was required in estimating GTN adjustments considering historical experience, payer channel mix (e.g., Medicare or Medicaid), current contract prices under applicable programs, unbilled claims and processing time lags and inventory levels in the distribution channel. In April 2024, the Company announced it had started a process with the FDA and Health Canada to voluntarily discontinue the marketing authorizations for RELYVRIO®/ALBRIOZA™ and remove the product from the market in the U.S. and Canada based on topline results from the Phase 3 PHOENIX trial. As a result, the Company did not generate significant revenue from product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The following table reconciles gross product revenue to net product revenue (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Ending balance at June 30, 2023	$	4,870		$	3,978		$	2,657		$	11,505

Included in the ending reserve balance for GTN adjustments are chargebacks resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to customers who directly purchase the product from the Company, discounts to customers for prompt payment and estimates for product returns. Chargebacks, discounts and returns are recorded as reductions of accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the extent there are receivable balances to reduce. If there are net balance owed to customers, they are recorded as a component of accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, included in the ending reserve balance for GTN adjustments are Medicaid and Medicare rebates, other rebates for obligations under voluntary patient assistance programs, and accrued fees payable to customers. Medicaid and Medicare rebates, other rebates and fees are recorded as a component of accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company has classified all of its marketable securities at June 30, 2024 as “available-for-sale”. The Company records available-for-sale securities at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of other accumulated comprehensive income (loss). There were no realized gains or losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company adjusts the cost of available-for-sale debt securities for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion are included in interest income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The Company includes interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale in interest income. Accrued interest receivable relating to the Company's available-for-sale securities is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and amounted to less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, there were no securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2024.
