Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD), a patient-dedicated global
biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing
novel medicines for rare diseases, today announced financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“Amicus delivered a great start to the year
across our global business,” said Bradley Campbell, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. “In the first
quarter, we continued to deliver excellent commercial performance.
Once again, we have delivered mid-teen growth in global sales of
Galafold, leading us to raise our product guidance for the year. We
are also very pleased with the strong commercial launch of
Pombiliti and Opfolda, which continues to build momentum with an
increasing rate of commercial patient starts in the first months of
the year. In 2024, we look to deliver significant total revenue
growth of 25% to 30% coupled with continued expense management to
deliver full year non-GAAP profitability. With these two therapies,
we believe Amicus continues to make a profound difference in the
lives of many individuals affected by rare diseases across the
globe.”

Amicus is focused on the following key
strategic priorities in 2024:
-
Delivering double-digit Galafold revenue growth
-
Executing multiple successful launches of Pombiliti + Opfolda
-
Advancing ongoing studies to support medical and scientific
leadership in Fabry and Pompe diseases
-
Achieving full-year non-GAAP profitability4
1 At constant exchange rates (CER). In order to
illustrate underlying performance, Amicus discusses its results in
terms of constant exchange rate (CER) growth. This represents
growth calculated as if the exchange rates had remained unchanged
from those used in the comparative period. Full-year revenue
guidance utilizes actual exchange rate as of December 31, 2023.2
Full reconciliation of GAAP results to the Company’s non-GAAP
adjusted measures for the reporting period(s) appear in the tables
to this press release.3 A reconciliation of the differences between
the non-GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure is not
available without unreasonable effort due to high variability,
complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be
excluded from the GAAP measure.4 Based on projections of Amicus’
non-GAAP Net (Loss) Income under current operating plans, which
includes successful Pombiliti + Opfolda launch and continued
Galafold growth. Amicus defines non-GAAP Net (Loss) Income as GAAP
Net (Loss) Income excluding the impact of share-based compensation
expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on
impairment of assets, depreciation and amortization,
acquisition-related income (Expense), loss on extinguishment of
debt, restructuring charges and income taxes.

About
Galafold Galafold® (migalastat)
123 mg capsules is an oral pharmacological chaperone of
alpha-Galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) for the treatment of Fabry
disease in adults who have amenable galactosidase alpha gene
(GLA) variants. In these patients, Galafold works by
stabilizing the body’s own dysfunctional enzyme so that it can
clear the accumulation of disease substrate. Globally, Amicus
Therapeutics estimates that approximately 35 to 50 percent of
people living with Fabry disease may have
amenable GLA variants, though amenability rates within
this range vary by geography. Galafold is approved in more than 40
countries around the world, including the U.S., EU, U.K., and
Japan.
U.S. INDICATIONS AND USAGEGalafold is indicated
for the treatment of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry
disease and an amenable galactosidase alpha gene (GLA) variant
based on in vitro assay data.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on
reduction in kidney interstitial capillary cell
globotriaosylceramide (KIC GL-3) substrate. Continued approval for
this indication may be contingent upon verification and description
of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ADVERSE REACTIONSThe most common adverse
reactions reported with Galafold (≥10%) were headache,
nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, nausea and pyrexia.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONSThere is
insufficient clinical data on Galafold use in pregnant women to
inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and
miscarriage. Advise women of the potential risk to a fetus.
It is not known if Galafold is present in human milk. Therefore,
the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be
considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Galafold and
any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Galafold
or from the underlying maternal condition.
Galafold is not recommended for use in patients with severe
renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis.
The safety and effectiveness of Galafold have not been
established in pediatric patients.
To report Suspected Adverse Reactions, contact Amicus
Therapeutics at 1-877-4AMICUS or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088
or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
For additional information about Galafold, including the full
U.S. Prescribing Information, please

About Pombiliti +
OpfoldaPombiliti + Opfolda, is a two-component therapy
that consists of cipaglucosidase alfa-atga, a bis-M6P-enriched
rhGAA that facilitates high-affinity uptake through the M6P
receptor while retaining its capacity for processing into the most
active form of the enzyme, and the oral enzyme stabilizer,
miglustat, that’s designed to reduce loss of enzyme activity in the
blood.
U.S. INDICATIONS
AND USAGEPOMBILITI in combination
with OPFOLDA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with
late-onset Pompe disease (lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase [GAA]
deficiency) weighing ≥40 kg and who are not improving on their
current enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
SAFETY INFORMATION
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS INCLUDING
ANAPHYLAXIS: Appropriate medical support measures, including
cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, should be readily
available. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, POMBILITI
should be discontinued immediately and appropriate medical
treatment should be initiated. INFUSION-ASSOCIATED REACTIONS
(IARs): If severe IARs occur, immediately discontinue POMBILITI and
initiate appropriate medical treatment. RISK OF ACUTE
CARDIORESPIRATORY FAILURE IN SUSCEPTIBLE PATIENTS: Patients
susceptible to fluid volume overload, or those with acute
underlying respiratory illness or compromised cardiac or
respiratory function, may be at risk of serious exacerbation of
their cardiac or respiratory status during POMBILITI infusion. See
PI for complete Boxed Warning. CONTRAINDICATION: POMBILITI
in combination with Opfolda is contraindicated in pregnancy.
EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY: May cause embryo-fetal
harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential
risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment
and for at least 60 days after the last dose. Adverse
Reactions: Most common adverse reactions ≥ 5% are
headache, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and pyrexia.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In
addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, this press release also contains adjusted financial measures
that we believe provide investors and management with supplemental
information relating to operating performance and trends that
facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to
projected information. These adjusted financial measures are
non-GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to, but not
as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. We use these non-GAAP measures as key performance
measures for the purpose of evaluating operational performance and
cash requirements internally. We typically exclude certain GAAP
items that management does not believe affect our basic operations
and that do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or
non-recurring items. Other companies may define these measures in
different ways. When we provide our expectation for non-GAAP
operating expenses and profitability on a forward-looking basis, a
reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectation
and the corresponding GAAP measure generally is not available
without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability,
complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be
excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such
as unusual gains or losses. The variability of the excluded items
may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on
our future GAAP results.
Forward Looking StatementThis press release
contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to
preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates, the
timing and reporting of results from preclinical studies and
clinical trials, the prospects and timing of the potential
regulatory approval of our product candidates, commercialization
plans, manufacturing and supply plans, financing plans, and the
projected revenues and cash position for the Company. The inclusion
of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a
representation by us that any of our plans will be achieved. Any or
all of the forward-looking statements in this press release may
turn out to be wrong and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions
we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. For
example, with respect to statements regarding the goals, progress,
timing, and outcomes of discussions with regulatory authorities and
pricing and reimbursement authorities, are based on current
information. Actual results may differ materially from those set
forth in this release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent
in our business, including, without limitation: the potential that
results of clinical or preclinical studies indicate that the
product candidates are unsafe or ineffective; the potential that it
may be difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials; the
potential that regulatory authorities may not grant or may delay
approval for our product candidates; the potential that required
regulatory inspections may be delayed or not be successful and
delay or prevent product approval; the potential that we may not be
successful in negotiations with pricing and reimbursement
authorities; the potential that we may not be successful in
commercializing Galafold and/or Pombiliti and Opfolda in Europe,
the UK, the US and other geographies; the potential that
preclinical and clinical studies could be delayed because we
identify serious side effects or other safety issues; the potential
that we may not be able to manufacture or supply sufficient
clinical or commercial products; and the potential that we will
need additional funding to complete all of our studies, the
manufacturing, and commercialization of our products. With respect
to statements regarding corporate financial guidance and financial
goals and the expected attainment of such goals and projections of
the Company's revenue, non-GAAP profitability and cash position,
actual results may differ based on market factors and the Company's
ability to execute its operational and budget plans. In addition,
all forward-looking statements are subject to other risks detailed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023, and on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to be
filed today. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by
this cautionary statement, and we undertake no obligation to revise
or update this news release to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof.
