About RNAi Therapeutics
RNAi (RNA interference) is a natural cellular process of gene silencing that represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug development today. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and was recognized with the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, a new class of medicines known as RNAi therapeutics is now a reality. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutic platform, function upstream of today’s medicines by potently silencing messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic precursors – that encode for disease-causing or disease pathway proteins, thus preventing them from being made. This is a revolutionary approach with the potential to transform the care of patients with genetic and other diseases.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains a non-GAAP financial measure of Constant Exchange Rate (CER). This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Percentage changes in revenue growth at CER are presented excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for investors to understand the underlying business performance. The current period’s foreign currency revenue values are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates from the prior period. The difference between the reported 35% annual GAAP growth rate and 43% annual CER growth rate is due to the inclusion of 8% additional net product revenue growth in the CER growth rate had exchange rates remained unchanged from 2021.
