| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Alnylam are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, applicable to interim periods and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary to state fairly the results of operations for the reported periods. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have also been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2026. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of our operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of our operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Alnylam and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We evaluate variable interests in a variable interest entity, or VIE, and consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary. Determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of each VIE is based on an assessment of whether we possess both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE. We continuously reevaluate the accounting for our VIEs upon the occurrence of events that could change the primary beneficiary conclusion. The maximum risk of loss related to our VIEs is generally limited to the carrying value of the investment in such entities, but may also include prepaid expenses recognized for advances made to a VIE and future funding commitments, if applicable. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the guidance of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which we adopted in the fourth quarter of 2025 on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2025. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions related to our inventory valuation and related reserves, clinical accruals, liabilities related to the sale of future royalties and development funding, income taxes, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, revenue recognition and related allowances and reserves, research and development expenses, and stock-based compensation expense. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Liquidity Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, as well as the revenue we expect to generate from product sales and under our existing collaborations, including royalties on sales of Leqvio and Qfitlia, and available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit agreement, or the Revolving Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to satisfy our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Please refer to Note 8, Convertible Debt and Other Financing, for further information related to the Revolving Credit Agreement. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the guidance for internal-use software costs by increasing the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, as well as interim period reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The standard updates may be applied on a prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance could have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, or ASU 2024-03, which is intended to improve disclosures by requiring additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, clarifying that ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard updates may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the disclosure requirements related to ASU 2024-03.
