+Added: Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net product revenues decreased to 15.9% and 14.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to 18.8% and 18.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to fully amortized intangible assets.
+Added: We anticipate variability in our cost of goods sold as a percentage of net product revenues due to the timing of manufacturing runs and utilization and the depletion of zero-cost inventories, as well as launch our approved products into additional markets, assuming regulatory approvals.
We expect cost of goods sold will increase during 2022, as compared to 2021, primarily as a result of an expected increase in net product sales as well as the sale of capitalized inventory.
Cost of collaborations and royalties.
−Removed: Cost of collaborations and royalties increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in GalNAc material supply to Novartis to support its continued, global launch of Leqvio, as well as its ongoing clinical trials.
+Added: Cost of collaborations and royalties decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021.
+Added: Fluctuations year over year are primarily due to timing and demand of GalNAc material supply to Novartis to support its continued, global launch of Leqvio, as well as its ongoing clinical trials.
We expect cost of collaborations and royalties to remain relatively consistent during 2022, as compared to 2021, due to consistency in planned GalNAc material to be supplied to Novartis to support the manufacturing of Leqvio.
