Net product revenues were $160.8 million, significantly up year over year, driven by the global expansion of Onpattro and Givlaari, as well as encouraging initial uptake for Oxlumo following its launch in the first quarter of 2021.
Net revenues from collaborators were $59.4 million, up from $26.4 million in the year-ago quarter, primarily due to an increase in revenues recognized in connection with the collaboration agreement with Regeneron. During the second quarter of 2021, Alnylam also recorded royalty revenues of $0.3 million, owing to the global sales of Leqvio from its partner, Novartis.
Quarter in Detail
Onpattro injection recorded sales of $113.8 million in the second quarter, up 71.1% year over year, driven by new patient demand. As of Jun 30, 2021, more than 1,725 patients have received treatment with Onpattro worldwide.

Adjusted research and development expenses (R&D) increased to $169.5 million from $139.2 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to higher investment in late-stage pipeline programs.
Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) rose to $126.3 million from $109.6 million incurred in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to higher investments in commercial activities related to the three marketed products.
2021 Guidance
Alnylam revised its product revenue guidance for 2021 upward owing to strong business performance of the three commercialized products.
The company now expects net product revenues for Onpattro, Givlaari and Oxlumo in the range of $640-$665 million compared with the previous range of $610-$660 million.
Net revenues from collaborations and royalties are expected in the range of $150-$200 million. Adjusted R&D and SG&A expenses are anticipated in the band of $1,175-$1,275 million. All unchanged from the previous guidance.

VGM Scores
At this time, Alnylam has a subpar Growth Score of D, however its Momentum Score is doing a lot better with an A. However, the stock was allocated a grade of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of D. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Estimates have been broadly trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Notably, Alnylam has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
