•Company narrows 2024 net product revenue guidance range to $210 to $220 million
Conference call to be hosted today at 8:30 a.m. ET

ROCKVILLE, Maryland and EDMONTON, Alberta – August 1, 2024 - Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUPH) (Aurinia or the Company) today issued its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024. Amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Total net revenue was $57.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and $41.5 million for the same period in 2023, representing growth of approximately 38%. Year to date total net revenue was $107.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $75.9 million for the same period in 2023, representing growth of approximately 42%.
Net product revenue was $55.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and $41.1 million for the same period in 2023, representing growth of approximately 34%. Net product revenue was $103.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and $75.4 million for the same period in 2023, representing growth of approximately 37%. Net product revenue in the second quarter included sales of semi-finished product to Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) for distribution in Europe and in anticipation of product approval in Japan.
“Our quarter-over-quarter growth in the second quarter is a result of our continued focus on commercial execution and business fundamentals. We are well prepared as we exit the first half of 2024, with upcoming innovative commercial initiatives targeting rheumatologists, the advancement of our AUR200 pipeline asset, and the anticipated approval of LUPKYNIS® in Japan. Additionally, achieving positive free cash flow ahead of our initial projections further strengthens our financial position and allows more flexibility to explore opportunities to diversify our portfolio,” said Peter Greenleaf, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aurinia.
The Company anticipates Japanese regulatory authorities' approval of LUPKYNIS in the second half of this year, based on the JNDA that Otsuka filed in November 2023 for approval of LUPKYNIS to treat adults with LN. Upon approval, the Company expects to receive a milestone payment of $10 million with low double-digit royalties on net sales once launched.  
Additionally, the Company is moving forward with development of its pipeline asset AUR200, a differentiated, potential next generation therapy for autoimmune diseases that targets both BAFF (B-cell Activating Factor) and APRIL (A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand).
“We are thrilled to advance AUR200, which has the potential to serve as a best-in-class treatment in disease areas with high unmet need. We intend to develop it in disease states where there are currently few market entrants, including exploring one larger indication and one fast-to-market smaller indication that meets the FDA criteria for orphan and rare diseases,” said Dr. Greg Keenan, Chief Medical Officer of Aurinia. 
1

First patients are expected to enter the Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study of AUR200 in the third quarter of 2024. Data from the SAD study, including safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and biomarkers, is anticipated in the first half of 2025. The Company anticipates funding this development program with available cash flow, which is not anticipated to impact previously announced post restructuring operating expense targets. As previously reported, the Company expects to recognize $50 to $55 million in annual cost savings following the restructuring, with approximately 75% of that recognized in 2024.
For the fiscal year 2024, the Company is narrowing its net product revenue guidance range to $210 to $220 million, from the previously established range of $200 to $220 million. The guidance range is based on assumptions regarding historical run rates for patient start forms (PSF), patients restarting therapy, hospital fills, conversion rates, time to convert, persistency, and pricing.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
In the second quarter of 2024 the Company:
•Achieved 22% growth in patients on LUPKYNIS therapy, with approximately 2,336 patients on therapy as of June 30, 2024, compared to 1,911 as of June 30, 2023.
•Added 428 PSFs and approximately 127 new patients who were either restarting LUPKYNIS or receiving it through a hospital pharmacy in the second quarter, compared to 451 PSFs in the prior year second quarter.
•Added approximately 538 PSFs and approximately 155 new patients from restarts and the hospital channel from April 1, 2024, through July 31, 2024.
•Sustained conversion rates, with approximately 85% of PSFs converted to patients on therapy.
•Sustained time to convert, with approximately 60% of patients on therapy by 20 days.
•Maintained high overall adherence rate at approximately 88%.
•Continued strong persistency, with approximately 56% of patients remaining on therapy at 12 months, 51% at 15 months, and 46% at 18 months.

Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Total net revenue was $57.2 million and $41.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Total net revenue was $107.5 million and $75.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Net product revenue was $55.0 million and $41.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Net product revenue was $103.1 million and $75.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in sales of LUPKYNIS to the Company’s two main specialty pharmacies, driven predominantly by further penetration of the LN market. Additionally, Aurinia had sales of semi-finished product to Otsuka as Otsuka continues to commercialize in its territories.
The U.S. penetration can be demonstrated by a total of approximately 2,336 patients on therapy as of June 30, 2024, compared to approximately 1,911 patients on therapy as of June 30, 2023. Additionally, the 12-month persistency rate has increased to 56% at June 30, 2024 from approximately 54% at June 30, 2023.
License, collaboration and royalty revenue was $2.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. License, collaboration and royalty revenue was $4.4 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to manufacturing services revenue from Otsuka related to shared capacity services that commenced in late June 2023.
Total cost of sales and operating expenses, inclusive of a restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2024, were $58.7 million and $57.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Total cost of sales and operating expenses inclusive of a restructuring charge were $122.3 million and $121.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024
2

and June 30, 2023, respectively. Further breakdown of cost of sales and operating expense drivers and fluctuations are highlighted in the following paragraphs.
Cost of sales were $8.9 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Cost of sales were $16.7 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the amortization of the monoplant finance right of use asset, which was placed into service in late June 2023, semi-finished product sales to Otsuka and increased sales of LUPKYNIS (voclosporin).
Gross margin was approximately 84% and 96% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Gross margin was approximately 85% and 97% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
SG&A expenses, inclusive of share-based compensation, were $44.9 million and $47.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. SG&A expenses, inclusive of share-based compensation, were $92.6 million and $97.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee and overhead costs as a result of a reduction in general and administrative headcount, which occurred late in the first quarter of 2024 partially offset by an increase in legal fees.
Non-cash SG&A share-based compensation expense included within SG&A expenses was $8.1 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Non-cash SG&A share-based compensation expense included within SG&A expenses was $15.6 million and $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

R&D expenses, inclusive of share-based compensation expense, were $4.1 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. R&D expenses, inclusive of share-based compensation expense, were $9.6 million and $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The primary drivers for the decrease were lower employee costs due to a reduction in headcount, which occurred late in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of CRO and developmental expenses related to ceasing development of Aurinia’s AUR300 program and timing of expenses related to AUR200.

Non-cash R&D share-based compensation expense included within R&D expense was $0.1 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Non-cash R&D share-based compensation expense included within R&D expense was $(2.1) million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The non-cash R&D share-based compensation credit in the six months ended June 30, 2024 is due to the reversals of expense for forfeitures related to a reduction in headcount in the first quarter of 2024.

Restructuring expenses were approximately $1.1 million and nil for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Restructuring expenses were approximately $7.8 million and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Restructuring expenses primarily included employee severance, one-time benefit payments and contract termination expenses.

Other income, net was $0.3 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Other income, net was $4.4 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The change is primarily driven by changes in the fair value assumptions related to Aurinia’s deferred compensation liability and
3

the foreign exchange remeasurement of the monoplant lease liability, which commenced in June 2023 and is denominated in CHF.
Interest income was $4.2 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Interest income was $8.7 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Interest expense was $1.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Interest expense was $2.5 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The interest expense is due to the monoplant finance lease, which commenced in June 2023.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Aurinia recorded net income of $0.7 million or $0.01 net income per common share, as compared to a net loss of $11.5 million or $(0.08) net loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Aurinia recorded a net loss of $10.0 million or $(0.07) net loss per common share, as compared to a net loss of $37.7 million or $(0.26) net loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Financial Liquidity at June 30, 2024

As of June 30, 2024, Aurinia had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of $330.7 million compared to $350.7 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily related to the continued investment in commercialization activities and post approval commitments of our approved drug, LUPKYNIS, monoplant payments, share repurchases and restructuring related payments, partially offset by an increase in cash receipts from sales of LUPKYNIS and cash payments from Otsuka.
Cash generated from operations and non-GAAP free cash flow generated were $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to cash used in operations of $2.8 million and non-GAAP free cash flow used of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cash used in operations and non-GAAP free cash flow used were $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to cash used in operations of $34.5 million and non-GAAP free cash flow used of $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting purchases of property and equipment from net cash provided by or used in operating activities. Free cash flow reflects a view of Aurinia’s liquidity that, when viewed with the Company’s GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Aurinia’s cash flows. The Company believes it is a more conservative measure of cash flow since capital expenditures are necessary for ongoing operations. Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate the principal portion of payments made or expected to be made on finance lease obligations. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to its entire consolidated statements of cash flows.
A reconciliation of free cash flow to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net cash provided by or used in operating activities, is set out in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included at the end of this press release.

Share Repurchase Program

As previously announced, Aurinia’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $150 million common shares of the Company. Canadian securities regulators also granted exemptive relief for the Company’s share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to purchase up to 15 percent of its issued and outstanding shares in any 12-month period for up to 36 months. Through July 31, 2024 Aurinia has repurchased 3.4 million shares for approximately $18.6 million at an average cost of $5.36. The Company expects to fund any future discretionary share repurchases from cash flows from operations and cash currently on hand.
This press release is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 in the Company’s

About Lupus Nephritis
Lupus Nephritis (LN) is a serious manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic and complex autoimmune disease. LN affects approximately 120,000 people in the U.S. and disproportionately affects women and people of color. People living with LN have high unmet needs and often face significant barriers to optimal care. If poorly controlled, LN can lead to permanent and irreversible tissue damage within the kidney. Medical guidelines recommend that all SLE patients receive routine LN screenings at every visit. Guidelines also note that delaying LN diagnosis has profound prognostic repercussions. Yet, research shows that approximately 50% of SLE patients are not screened for LN and 77% of people with LN go untreated. Aurinia is committed to improving health outcomes for people living with LN by educating patients and providers on the critical need for routine screening and transformative therapies that can help improve health outcomes.

About Aurinia
Aurinia Pharmaceuticals is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering therapies to people living with autoimmune diseases with high unmet medical needs. In January 2021, the Company introduced LUPKYNIS® (voclosporin), the first FDA-approved oral therapy dedicated to the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis. The Company’s head office is in Edmonton, Alberta, with its U.S. commercial office in Rockville, Maryland. The Company focuses its development efforts globally.
