SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are all statements, other than statements of historical facts, that discuss our current expectation and projections relating to our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "can," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "likely," "may," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "will," "would," the negatives or plurals thereof, and other words and terms of similar meaning, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Although we believe that our assumptions made in connection with the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that the assumptions and expectations will prove to be correct. You should understand that the following important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:
the scope, progress, results and costs of our clinical trials of our drug candidates;
the cost of manufacturing drug supply for our commercial, clinical and preclinical studies, including the cost of manufacturing Pompe Enzyme Replacement Therapy ("ERT" or "ATB200" or "cipaglucosidase alfa");
the future results of preclinical research and subsequent clinical trials for pipeline candidates we may identify from time to time, including our ability to obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize these therapies and obtain market acceptance for such therapies;
the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates, including AT-GAA;
any changes in regulatory standards relating to the review of our product candidates, including AT-GAA;
the number and development requirements of other product candidates that we pursue;
the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales, and distribution;
the emergence of competing technologies and other adverse market developments;
our ability to successfully commercialize Galafold® (also referred to as "migalastat HCl") and, if our regulatory filings are accepted and approved, AT-GAA;
our ability to manufacture or supply sufficient clinical or commercial products, including Galafold® and AT-GAA;
our ability to obtain reimbursement for Galafold® and, if our regulatory filings are accepted and approved, AT-GAA;
our ability to satisfy post-marketing commitments or requirements for continued regulatory approval of Galafold®, and, if approved and applicable, AT-GAA;
our ability to obtain market acceptance of Galafold® and, if our regulatory filings are accepted and approved, AT-GAA;
the costs of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing, and defending intellectual property-related claims, including Hatch-Waxman litigation;
the impact of litigation that has been or may be brought against us or of litigation that we are pursuing or may pursue against others;
the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, and technologies;
our ability to successfully integrate our acquired products and technologies into our business, or successfully divest or license existing products and technologies from our business, including the possibility that the expected benefits of the transactions will not be fully realized by us or may take longer to realize than expected;
our ability to establish licensing agreements, collaborations, partnerships or other similar arrangements and to obtain milestone, royalty, or other payments from any such collaborators;
the extent to which our business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak, including due to actions by us, governments, our customers, our suppliers, or other third parties to control the spread of COVID-19, or by other health epidemics or pandemics;
the costs associated with, and our ability to comply with, emerging environmental, social and governance standards;
1


our ability to accurately forecast revenue, operating expenditures, or other metrics impacting profitability;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and
changes in accounting standards.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions, and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in Part I Item 1A — Risk Factors of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Those factors and the other risk factors described herein are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future collaborations, alliances, business combinations, partnerships, strategic out-licensing of certain assets, the acquisition of preclinical-stage, clinical-stage, marketed products or platform technologies or other investments we may make. Consequently, there can be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (including the documents incorporated by reference therein) completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, even if experience or future developments make it clear that projected results expressed or implied in such statements will not be realized, except as may be required by law.

Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business
Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") is a global, patient-dedicated biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and delivering novel medicines for rare diseases. The Company has a portfolio of product opportunities including the first, oral monotherapy for Fabry disease that has achieved widespread global approval and a differentiated biologic for Pompe disease, that is under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") as well as the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"). We are committed to discovering and developing next generation therapies in Fabry and Pompe diseases.
The cornerstone of the Company's portfolio is Galafold® (also referred to as "migalastat"), the first and only approved oral precision medicine for people living with Fabry disease who have amenable genetic variants. Migalastat is currently approved under the trade name Galafold® in the United States ("U.S."), European Union ("E.U."), United Kingdom ("U.K."), and Japan, with multiple additional approvals granted and applications pending in several geographies around the world.
The lead biologics program of the Company's pipeline is Amicus Therapeutics GAA ("AT-GAA", also known as ATB200/AT2221, or cipaglucosidase alfa/miglustat), a novel, two-component, potential best-in-class treatment for Pompe disease. In February 2019, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation ("BTD") to AT-GAA for the treatment of late onset Pompe disease. In September 2021, the FDA set the Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") target action date of May 29, 2022 for the New Drug Application ("NDA") for miglustat and July 29, 2022 for the Biologics License Application ("BLA") for cipaglucosidase alfa. The EMA validated the Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) in the fourth quarter of 2021. On May 9, 2022, the FDA extended the review period for the NDA for miglustat and the BLA for cipaglucosidase alfa resulting in revised PDUFA action dates of August 29, 2022 and October 29, 2022, respectively.
The Company's operations have not been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic to date. The Company continued to observe increased lag times between patient identification and Galafold® initiation due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in certain markets. The Company has maintained operations in all geographies, secured its global supply chain for its commercial and clinical products, as well as maintained the operational integrity of its clinical trials, with minimal disruptions. Whether the Company will continue to operate without any significant disruptions will depend on the continued health of its employees, the ongoing demand for Galafold® and the continued operation of its global supply chain. The Company has continued to provide uninterrupted access to medicines for those in need of treatment, while prioritizing the health and safety of its global workforce. However, the Company's results of operations in future periods may be negatively impacted by unknown future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2022 and anticipates incurring losses through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and beyond. The Company has historically funded its operations through stock offerings, Galafold® revenues, debt issuances, collaborations, and other financing arrangements.
Based on its current operating model, the Company believes that the current cash position, which includes expected revenues, is sufficient to fund the Company's operations and ongoing research programs to achieve self-sustainability. Potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, business development collaborations, pipeline expansion, and investment in manufacturing capabilities could impact the Company's future capital requirements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's interim financial information.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. For a complete description of the Company's accounting policies, please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency for most of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. For non-U.S. subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the Company's foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Additionally, the Company assessed the impact COVID-19 pandemic has had on its operations and financial results as of March 31, 2022 and through the issuance of these financial statements. The Company’s analysis was informed by the facts and circumstances as they were known to the Company. This assessment considered the impact COVID-19 may have on financial estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Marketable securities consist of fixed income investments with a maturity of greater than three months and other highly liquid investments that can be readily purchased or sold using established markets. These investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported within other comprehensive loss in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Fair value is based on available market information including quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or other observable inputs.
Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held to satisfy the requirements of certain agreements that are restricted in their use and is included in other current assets and other non-current assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
9


Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company invests its marketable securities in high-quality commercial financial instruments. The Company has not recognized any losses from credit risks on such accounts during any of the periods presented. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk on its cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities.
The Company is subject to credit risk from its accounts receivable related to its product sales of Galafold®. The Company's accounts receivable at March 31, 2022 have arisen from product sales primarily in Europe and the U.S. The Company will periodically assess the financial strength of its customers to establish allowances for anticipated losses, if any. For accounts receivable that have arisen from named patient sales, the payment terms are predetermined, and the Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer on a regular basis. As of March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.2 million.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to five years, or the lesser of the related initial term of the lease or useful life for leasehold improvements.
The initial cost of property and equipment consists of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the fixed assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are charged to income in the period in which the costs are incurred. Major replacements, improvements, and additions are capitalized in accordance with Company policy.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If indications of impairment exist, projected future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or asset group are compared to the carrying value of the asset to determine whether the asset or asset group's value is recoverable. If impairment is determined, the Company writes down the asset to its estimated fair value and records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value of the long-lived asset over its estimated fair value in the period at which such a determination is made.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, in connection with the strategic prioritization of its gene therapy portfolio, the Company performed an assessment of its fixed assets. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $6.6 million.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's net product sales consist of sales of Galafold® for the treatment of Fabry disease. The Company has recorded revenue on sales where Galafold® is available either on a commercial basis or through a reimbursed early access program. Orders for Galafold® are generally received from distributors and pharmacies, with the ultimate payor often a government authority.
The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations to its customers have been satisfied, which occurs at a point in time when the pharmacies or distributors obtain control of Galafold®. The transaction price is determined based on fixed consideration in the Company's customer contracts and is recorded net of estimates for variable consideration, which are third party discounts and rebates. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenue from the sale of Galafold® is recognized. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. These estimates may differ from actual consideration received. The Company evaluates these estimates each reporting period to reflect known changes.
The following table summarizes the Company's net product sales from Galafold® disaggregated by geographic area:

Inventories and Cost of Goods Sold
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are reviewed periodically to identify slow-moving or obsolete inventory based on projected sales activity as well as product shelf-life. In evaluating the recoverability of inventories produced, the probability that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory is considered and inventory value is written down for inventory quantities in excess of expected requirements. Expired inventory is disposed of and the related costs are recognized as cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory sold, manufacturing and supply chain costs, product shipping and handling costs, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, as well as royalties payable.
Recent Accounting Developments
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures.

3. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Restricted Cash
As of March 31, 2022, the Company held $233.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $177.9 million of marketable securities which are reported at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are generally reported within other comprehensive loss in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. If a decline in the fair value of a marketable security below the Company's cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary or if an available-for-sale debt security’s fair value is determined to be less than the amortized cost and the Company intends or is more than likely to sell the security before recovery and it is not considered a credit loss, such security is written down to its estimated fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included in earnings as an impairment charge. If the unrealized loss of an available-for-sale debt security is determined to be a result of credit loss, the Company would recognize an allowance and the corresponding credit loss would be included in earnings.
The Company regularly invests excess operating cash in deposits with major financial institutions, money market funds, notes issued by the U.S. government, as well as fixed income investments and U.S. bond funds, both of which can be readily purchased and sold using established markets. The Company believes that the market risk arising from its holdings of these financial instruments is mitigated as many of these securities are either government backed or of the highest credit rating. Investments that have original maturities greater than three months but less than one year are classified as current.

For both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, there were no realized gains or losses. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Unrealized loss positions in the marketable securities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 reflect temporary impairments and are not a result of credit loss. Additionally, as these positions have been in a loss position for less than twelve months and the Company does not intend to sell these securities before recovery, the losses are recognized in other comprehensive (loss) gain. The fair value of these marketable securities in unrealized loss positions was $173.5 million and $173.4 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

6. Share-Based Compensation
The Company's Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") provides for the granting of restricted stock units and options to purchase common stock in the Company to employees, directors, advisors, and consultants at a price to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. The Plan is intended to encourage ownership of stock by employees and consultants of the Company and to provide additional incentives for them to promote the success of the Company's business. The Board of Directors, or its committee, is responsible for determining the individuals to be granted options, the number of options each individual will receive, the option price per share, and the exercise period of each option.

As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted was $42.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of three years.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (collectively "RSUs")
RSUs awarded under the Plan are generally subject to graded vesting and are contingent on an employee's continued service. RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of vesting restrictions. The Company expenses the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse.

7. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value and classified within the fair value hierarchy, which is defined as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
A summary of the fair value of the Company's recurring assets and liabilities aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall as of March 31, 2022 are identified in the following tables:

 $4,800 $20,339 $25,139 
The Company's Senior Secured Term Loan due 2026 falls into the Level 2 category within the fair value level hierarchy and the fair value was determined using quoted prices for similar liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. The carrying value of the Senior Secured Term Loan due 2026 approximates the fair value.
The Company did not have any Level 3 assets as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Cash, Money Market Funds, and Marketable Securities
The Company classifies its cash within the fair value hierarchy as Level 1 as these assets are valued using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets at the measurement date. The Company considers its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale and classifies these assets and the money market funds within the fair value hierarchy as Level 2 primarily utilizing broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.
Contingent Consideration Payable
The contingent consideration payable resulted from the acquisition of Callidus Biopharma, Inc. ("Callidus") in November 2013. The most recent valuation was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow valuation approach. Gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The contingent consideration payable for Callidus has been classified as a Level 3 recurring liability as its valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market. If different assumptions were used for the various inputs to the valuation approach, the estimated fair value could be significantly higher or lower than the fair value the Company determined.

Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period using discount rates, probabilities of payment, and projected payment dates. Projected contingent payment amounts related to clinical and regulatory based milestones are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model. Increases in discount rates and the time to payment may result in lower fair value measurements. Increases or decreases in any of those inputs together, or in isolation, may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. There is no assurance that any of the conditions for the milestone payments will be met.
The following table shows the change in the balance of contingent consideration payable for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

Some of the statements we make in this section are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Some of the statements we make in this section are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. Certain risk factors may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a discussion of such risk factors, see the section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 entitled “Risk Factors”.
Overview
We are a global, patient-dedicated biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and delivering novel medicines for rare diseases. We have a portfolio of product opportunities including the first, oral monotherapy for Fabry disease that has achieved widespread global approval and a differentiated biologic for Pompe disease that is under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") as well as the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"). We are committed to discovering and developing next generation therapies in Fabry and Pompe diseases.
The cornerstone of our portfolio is Galafold® (also referred to as "migalastat"), the first and only approved oral precision medicine for people living with Fabry disease who have amenable genetic variants. Migalastat is currently approved under the trade name Galafold® in the United States ("U.S."), European Union ("E.U."), United Kingdom ("U.K."), and Japan, with multiple additional approvals granted and applications pending in several geographies around the world.
The lead biologics program of our pipeline is Amicus Therapeutics GAA ("AT-GAA", also known as ATB200/AT2221, or cipaglucosidase alfa/miglustat), a novel, two-component, potential best-in-class treatment for Pompe disease. In February 2019, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation ("BTD") to AT-GAA for the treatment of late onset Pompe disease. In September 2021, the FDA set the Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") target action date of May 29, 2022 for the New Drug Application ("NDA") for miglustat and July 29, 2022 for the Biologics License Application ("BLA") for cipaglucosidase alfa. The EMA validated the Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) in the fourth quarter of 2021. On May 9, 2022, the FDA extended the review period for the NDA for miglustat and the BLA for cipaglucosidase alfa resulting in revised PDUFA action dates of August 29, 2022 and October 29, 2022, respectively.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to create, manufacture, test, and deliver the highest quality medicines for people living with rare diseases through internally developed, jointly developed, acquired, or in-licensed products and product candidates that have the potential to obsolete current treatments, provide significant benefits to patients, and be first- or best-in-class. We are leveraging our global capabilities to develop and broaden our lead franchises in Fabry and Pompe disease, with focused discovery work on next generation therapies and novel platform technologies.
Our operations have not been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic thus far. The Company continued to observe increased lag times between patient identification and Galafold® initiation due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in certain markets. We have maintained operations in all geographies, secured our global supply chain for our commercial and clinical products, as well as maintained the operational integrity of our clinical trials, with minimum disruptions. Our ability to continue to operate without any significant disruptions will depend on the continued health of our employees, the ongoing demand for Galafold® and the continued operation of our global supply chain. We have continued to provide uninterrupted access to medicines for those in need of treatment, while prioritizing the health and safety of our global workforce. However, our results of operations in future periods may be negatively impacted by unknown future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Highlights of our progress include:
Commercial and regulatory success in Fabry disease. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Galafold® revenue totaled $78.7 million, an increase of $12.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. We continue to see strong commercial momentum and expansion into additional geographies. In countries where we have been operating the longest, we see an increasing proportion of previously untreated patients come onto Galafold®. In the U.S., we
19


continue to see a significant increase in patients from a growing and very wide prescriber base. Across all markets, we see a high rate of compliance and adherence to this oral treatment option.
Pompe disease clinical program milestones. In February 2021, we reported topline results from the Phase 3 study of AT-GAA (ATB200-03, also known as "PROPEL"). In June 2021, the MHRA granted AT-GAA a positive scientific opinion through the Early Access to Medicines Scheme ("EAMS") which permits eligible adults living with late-onset Pompe disease ("LOPD") who have received alglucosidase alfa for at least 2 years to switch to AT-GAA prior to marketing authorization in the U.K. We completed the submission of the rolling BLA and NDA to the FDA, which was accepted for review in September 2021, and in the fourth quarter of 2021, the MAA was submitted and validated by the EMA. In March 2022, we announced positive long-term data from our ongoing phase 1/2 clinical study. Study participants treated with AT-GAA for up to 36 months demonstrated persistent and durable effects on six-minute walk test distance and measures of motor function and muscle strength, stability, or increase in forced vital capacity, and reductions in biomarkers of muscle damage and disease substrate.
Pipeline advancement and growth. We are leveraging our global capabilities to develop and broaden our lead franchises in Fabry and Pompe disease, with focused discovery work on next generation therapies and novel platform technologies.
Manufacturing. We have managed our clinical and commercial supply chains during the COVID-19 pandemic such that as of the date hereof we have not experienced supply impacts. We have been able to continue to meet required commercial demand for Galafold® as well as supply our ongoing Pompe disease clinical studies and access programs including EAMS without interruption. We have secured supply for our continued needs for the Pompe disease program through a long-term supply agreement with Wuxi Biologics. The agreement allows for the continuous manufacture of our biologic to support future clinical needs and our anticipated commercial requirements should we garner regulatory approvals as planned. We have contracts in place to supply miglustat, our small molecule component of AT-GAA, to support both clinical and future commercial requirements.
Financial strength. Total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2022 was $411.2 million. Based on the current operating model, we believe that the current cash position, which includes expected revenues, is sufficient to fund our operations and ongoing research programs to achieve self-sustainability. Potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, business development collaborations, pipeline expansion, and investment in manufacturing capabilities could impact our future capital requirements.
 Our Commercial Product and Product Candidates
Galafold® (Migalastat HCl) for Fabry Disease
Our oral precision medicine Galafold® was granted accelerated approval by the FDA in August 2018 under the brand name Galafold® 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. The FDA has approved Galafold® for 350 amenable GLA variants. Galafold® was approved in the E.U. and U.K. in May 2016 as a first-line therapy for long-term treatment of adults and adolescents, aged 16 years and older, with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and who have an amenable mutation (variant). The approved E.U. and U.K. labels include 1,384 mutations amenable to Galafold® treatment, which represent up to half of all patients with Fabry disease. In countries where mutations are provided only on the amenability website, these 1,384 amenable mutations are now available. Marketing authorization approvals have been granted in over 40 countries around the world, including the U.S., E.U., U.K., Japan, and others. In July 2021, Galafold® was approved in the E.U. for adolescents aged 12 years and older weighing 45 kg or more. We plan to continue to launch Galafold® in additional countries during 2022, including for adolescents aged 12 years and older.
As an orally administered monotherapy, Galafold® is designed to bind to and stabilize an endogenous alpha-galactosidase A ("alpha-Gal A") enzyme in those patients with genetic variants identified as amenable in a GLP cell-based amenability assay. Galafold® is an oral precision medicine intended to treat Fabry disease in patients who have amenable genetic variants, and at this time, it is not intended for concomitant use with ERT.
In early 2022, we announced the issuance of six additional patents, including the new U.S. Composition of Matter patent, for the Galafold® intellectual property. Galafold® now has 35 issued patents, 18 of which provide protection through 2038.
Next Generation for Fabry Disease
We are committed to continued innovation for all people living with Fabry disease. Our pipeline includes a Fabry gene therapy.

Novel ERT for Pompe Disease
We are leveraging our biologics capabilities to develop AT-GAA, a novel treatment paradigm for Pompe disease. AT-GAA consists of a uniquely engineered rhGAA enzyme, ATB200, or cipaglucosidase alfa, with an optimized carbohydrate structure to enhance lysosomal uptake, administered in combination with AT2221, or miglustat, that functions as an enzyme stabilizer. Miglustat binds to and stabilizes ATB200, or cipaglucosidase alfa, preventing inactivation of rhGAA in circulation to improve the uptake of active enzyme in key disease-relevant tissues, resulting in increased clearance of accumulated substrate, glycogen. Miglustat is not an active ingredient that contributes directly to substrate reduction ("glycogen").
In February 2021, we reported topline results from the Phase 3 PROPEL study. Of the Pompe disease patients enrolled, 77% were being treated with alglucosidase alfa (n=95) immediately prior to enrollment (“Switch”) and 23% had never been treated with any ERT (n=28) (“Naïve”). Nearly all patients from the PROPEL study continue to be treated with AT-GAA in the extension clinical study. The clinical data from the PROPEL study, the extension study as well as the Phase 1/2 study were included in the AT-GAA submissions to the FDA and the EMA.
In March 2022, we announced positive long-term data from our ongoing phase 1/2 clinical study. Study participants treated with AT-GAA for up to 36 months demonstrated persistent and durable effects on six-minute walk test distance and measures of motor function and muscle strength, stability, or increase in forced vital capacity, and reductions in biomarkers of muscle damage and disease substrate.
In addition, we are conducting ongoing clinical studies in pediatric patients for both LOPD and infantile-onset Pompe disease ("IOPD") populations.
Next Generation for Pompe Disease
As part of our long-term commitment to provide multiple solutions to address the significant unmet needs of the Pompe disease community, we are also continuing discovery for next-generation genetic medicines for Pompe disease.
CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder
We are researching a potential first-in-class genetic medicine for CDKL5 deficiency disorder consisting of a CDKL5 protein engineered for cross correction, delivered as either a protein replacement or as a gene therapy through our collaboration with Penn. We are collaborating with the LouLou Foundation to assess the natural history of the disease to identify endpoints for potential use in future studies.
Additional Next Generation Programs
We have a number of additional gene therapies in clinical and preclinical development, including potential gene therapies in multiple forms of Batten disease.
Strategic Alliances and Arrangements
We will continue to evaluate business development opportunities as appropriate to build stockholder value and provide us with access to the financial, technical, clinical, and commercial resources necessary to develop and market technologies or products with a focus on rare and orphan diseases. We are exploring potential collaborations, alliances, and other business development opportunities on a regular basis. These opportunities may include business combinations, partnerships, the strategic out-licensing of certain assets, or the acquisition of preclinical-stage, clinical-stage, or marketed products or platform technologies consistent with our strategic plan to develop and provide therapies to patients living with rare and orphan diseases.

Net Product Sales. Net product sales increased $12.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to continued growth in the U.S., Europe and Japan markets.
Research and Development Expense. The following table summarizes our principal development programs and the out-of-pocket, third-party expenses incurred:
(in thousands)Three Months Ended March 31,
Projects20222021
Third party direct project expenses  
Galafold® (Fabry Disease)
$3,620 $2,227 
AT-GAA (Pompe Disease)26,978 21,114 
Gene therapy programs17,692 13,816

Other costs7,459 6,713 
Total other project costs33,134 26,892 
Total research and development costs$81,517 $64,117 
The $17.4 million increase in research and development costs was primarily due to an increase in the Pompe disease program associated with the timing of manufacturing costs, an increase in gene therapy programs primarily due to contract exit costs related to the strategic prioritization of our gene therapy portfolio, and an increase in personnel costs primarily due to share-based compensation.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $11.4 million, primarily driven by share-based compensation and increased marketing expenses.
22


Loss on Impairment of Assets. In connection with the strategic prioritization of our gene therapy portfolio, the Company performed an assessment of its assets and recognized a $6.6 million loss on impairment of assets.
Other Income (Expense). The $5.1 million variance was primarily driven by foreign exchange gains in the remeasurement of our intercompany transactions.
Income Tax Expense. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $3.8 million. We are subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Our tax liabilities are largely dependent on the distribution of pre-tax earnings among the many jurisdictions in which we operate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of our significant research and development expenditures, as well as expenditures to build a commercial organization to support the launch of Galafold®, we have not been profitable and have generated operating losses since we were incorporated in 2002. We have historically funded our operations through stock offerings, Galafold® revenues, debt issuance, collaborations, and other financing arrangements.
Cash Flow Discussion
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $411.2 million. We invest cash in excess of our immediate requirements in regard to liquidity and capital preservation in a variety of interest-bearing instruments, including obligations of U.S. government agencies and money market accounts. Wherever possible, we seek to minimize the potential effects of concentration and degrees of risk. Although we maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits, we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such cash balances. For more details on the cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, refer to "— Note 3. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities, and Restricted Cash," in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $58.3 million. The components of net cash used in operations included the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $85.3 million and an overall decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $11.9 million. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily related to the payment of contract manufacturing and annual performance bonus. This was partially offset by $30.7 million of stock compensation and $8.1 million of other non-cash adjustments.
Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $72.4 million. The components of net cash used in operations included the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $65.7 million and an overall decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $32.5 million, mainly related to the timing of contract manufacturing and research costs. This was partially offset by $20.4 million of stock compensation and $5.5 million of other non-cash adjustments.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $58.2 million. Our investing activities have consisted primarily of purchases, sales, and maturities of investments and capital expenditures. Net cash provided by investing activities reflects $108.3 million for the sale and redemption of marketable securities, partially offset by $49.2 million for the purchase of marketable securities and $0.9 million for capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $86.6 million. Our investing activities have consisted primarily of purchases and sales and maturities of investments and capital expenditures. Net cash provided by investing activities reflects $163.7 million for the sale and redemption of marketable securities, partially offset by $76.2 million for the purchase of marketable securities and $0.9 million for capital expenditures.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $8.2 million. Net cash used in financing activities primarily reflects the purchase of vested restricted stock units of $9.0 million, partially offset by $0.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
23


Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $8.8 million. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects $19.2 million from the exercise of the remaining outstanding warrants and $4.2 million from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $14.2 million from the purchase of vested restricted stock units.
Funding Requirements
We expect to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future primarily due to research and development expenses, including expenses related to conducting clinical trials. Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including:
the scope, progress, results and costs of our clinical trials of our drug candidates;
the cost of manufacturing drug supply for our commercial, clinical and preclinical studies, including the cost of manufacturing Pompe Enzyme Replacement Therapy ("ERT" or "ATB200" or "cipaglucosidase alfa");
the future results of preclinical research and subsequent clinical trials for pipeline candidates we may identify from time to time, including our ability to obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize these therapies and obtain market acceptance for such therapies;
the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates, including AT-GAA;
any changes in regulatory standards relating to the review of our product candidates, including AT-GAA;
the number and development requirements of other product candidates that we pursue;
the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales, and distribution;
the emergence of competing technologies and other adverse market developments;
our ability to successfully commercialize Galafold® (also referred to as "migalastat HCl") and, if our regulatory filings are accepted and approved, AT-GAA;
our ability to manufacture or supply sufficient clinical or commercial products, including Galafold® and AT-GAA;
our ability to obtain reimbursement for Galafold® and, if our regulatory filings are accepted and approved, AT-GAA;
our ability to satisfy post-marketing commitments or requirements for continued regulatory approval of Galafold®, and, if approved and applicable, AT-GAA;
our ability to obtain market acceptance of Galafold® and, if our regulatory filings are accepted and approved, AT-GAA;
the costs of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing, and defending intellectual property-related claims, including Hatch-Waxman litigation;
the impact of litigation that has been or may be brought against us or of litigation that we are pursuing or may pursue against others;
the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, and technologies;
our ability to successfully integrate our acquired products and technologies into our business, or successfully divest or license existing products and technologies from our business, including the possibility that the expected benefits of the transactions will not be fully realized by us or may take longer to realize than expected;
our ability to establish licensing agreements, collaborations, partnerships or other similar arrangements and to obtain milestone, royalty, or other payments from any such collaborators;
the extent to which our business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak, including due to actions by us, governments, our customers, our suppliers, or other third parties to control the spread of COVID-19, or by other health epidemics or pandemics;
the costs associated with, and our ability to comply with, emerging environmental, social and governance standards;
our ability to accurately forecast revenue, operating expenditures, or other metrics impacting profitability;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and
changes in accounting standards.

While we continue to generate revenue from product sales, in the absence of additional funding, we expect our continuing operating losses to result in increases in our net cash used over the next several quarters and years. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings of debt or equity. Based on our current operating model, we believe that the current cash position, which includes expected revenues, is sufficient to fund our operations and ongoing research programs to achieve self-sustainability. Potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, business development collaborations, pipeline expansion, and investment in manufacturing capabilities could impact our future capital requirements.
Financial Uncertainties Related to Potential Future Payments
Milestone Payments / Royalties
Callidus - In connection with our acquisition of Callidus in 2013, we agreed to pay up to an additional $35 million in connection with the achievement of certain clinical milestones and up to $80 million in connection with the achievement of certain regulatory approval milestones. As of March 31, 2022, $20 million and $68 million remain outstanding, respectively. Refer to “— Note 7. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Celenex - In connection with our acquisition of Celenex in 2018, we agreed to pay up to an additional $10 million in connection with the achievement of certain development milestones, $220 million in connection with the achievement of certain regulatory approval milestones across multiple programs and up to $75 million in tiered sales milestone payments.
Nationwide Children’s Hospital - Celenex has an exclusive license agreement with Nationwide Children's Hospital ("Nationwide Children’s"). Under this license agreement, Nationwide Children’s is eligible to receive development and sales-based milestones of up to $7.8 million from us for each product.
University of Pennsylvania - Under our collaboration agreement with the University of Pennsylvania ("Penn"), Penn is eligible to receive certain milestone, royalty, and discovery research payments with respect to licensed products for each indication. Milestone payments are payable following the achievement of certain development and commercial milestone events in each indication, up to an aggregate of $88.0 million per indication. Royalty payments are based on net sales of licensed products on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis. We provide $10.0 million each year during the five-year agreement to fund the discovery research program, of which two years of payments remain outstanding.
GlaxoSmithKline - In July 2012, as amended in November 2013, we entered into an agreement with GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK"), pursuant to which we obtained global rights to develop and commercialize Galafold® as a monotherapy and in combination with ERT for Fabry disease (“Collaboration Agreement”). Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, GSK is eligible to receive post-approval and sales-based milestones up to $40 million, as well as tiered royalties in the mid-teens in eight major markets outside the U.S.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There were no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 to the items that we disclosed as our significant accounting policies and estimates described in "—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Company's financial statements as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
