October 31, 2024 7:00AM CET
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – argenx SE (Euronext & Nasdaq: ARGX), a global immunology company committed to improving the lives of people suffering from severe autoimmune diseases, today announced its third quarter 2024 financial results and provided a business update.
“We delivered significant patient impact with VYVGART over the quarter, expanding our gMG footprint and delivering innovation to CIDP patients three months into launch,” said Tim Van Hauwermeiren, Chief Executive Officer of argenx. “We continued to advance our goal of reaching more gMG patients earlier in their treatment journey, supported by VYVGART’s strong safety and efficacy profile, and real world data showing the ability to meaningfully reduce steroid use. Expanding upon our leadership in gMG, we are now paving the future in CIDP. The strength of our data, combined with execution across the team to reach key stakeholders, contributed to the initial success of our CIDP launch, with more than 300 patients on therapy at the end of the third quarter. There remains significant opportunity ahead as we work towards achieving our Vision 2030, with innovation implemented across our pipeline to deliver transformative outcomes to more patients.”
Advancing ‘Vision 2030’ in Third Quarter 2024
Vision 2030 is the next phase in argenx’s long-term commitment to transform the treatment of autoimmune diseases by strengthening its leadership in FcRn biology, investing in its continuous pipeline of differentiated antibody candidates, and scaling in a disciplined way to ensure innovation remains core to the argenx mission. As a part of this vision, argenx plans to reach at least 50,000 patients globally, advance the pipeline to achieve 10 labeled indications, and bring five new molecules into Phase 3 by 2030.
Reaching 50,000 Patients Globally by 2030

•Cost of sales for the third quarter and year-to-date in 2024 was $59 million and $155 million, respectively, compared to $36 million and $78 million for the same periods in 2023. The cost of sales was recognized with respect to the sale of VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo.
•Research and development expenses for the third quarter and year-to-date in 2024 were $236 million and $686 million, respectively, compared to $192 million and $553 million for the same periods in 2023. The research and development expenses mainly relate to external research and development expenses and personnel expenses incurred in the clinical development of efgartigimod in various indications and the expansion of other clinical and preclinical pipeline candidates.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter and year-to-date in 2024 were $278 million and $769 million, respectively, compared to $192 million and $503 million for the same periods in 2023. The selling, general and administrative expenses mainly relate to professional and marketing fees linked to global commercialization of VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo, and personnel expenses.
Financial income for the third quarter and year-to-date in 2024 was $41 million and $118 million, respectively, compared to $30 million and $67 million for the same periods in 2023. The increase in financial income is mainly due to an increase in interest income on current financial assets and cash and cash equivalents.
Exchange gains for the third quarter and year-to-date in 2024 were $34 million and $7 million respectively, respectively, compared to $(33) million and $(23) million of exchange losses for the same periods in 2023. Exchange gains/losses are mainly attributable to unrealized exchange rate gains or losses on the cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets position in Euro.
Income tax for the third quarter and year-to-date in 2024 was $3 million and $60 million of tax benefit, respectively, compared to $11 million and $47 million of tax benefit for the same periods in 2023. Tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consists of $29 million of income tax expense and $89 million of deferred tax income, compared to $24 million of income tax expense and $71 million of deferred tax income for the comparable prior period.
Net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, was $91 million and $59 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $(73) million and $(196) million over the prior year periods.

Cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets totaled $3.4 billion as of September 30, 2024, compared to $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2023. The increases in cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets over the period was from financing activities due to the exercise of stock options which is offset by net cash flows used in operating and investing activities.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
With the increase in cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets in the quarter and year-to-date, the previously issued cash guidance no longer applies. The financial guidance on the combined selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses remains unchanged at approximately $2 billion.
