Leiden, the Netherlands, May 8, 2024: Pharming Group N.V. (“Pharming” or “the Company”) (Euronext Amsterdam: PHARM / Nasdaq: PHAR) presents its preliminary (unaudited) financial report for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Chief Executive Officer, Sijmen de Vries commented:
“Pharming delivered a strong first quarter, increasing quarterly revenues by 31% year-over-year to US$55.6 million and keeping the Company on track for our 2024 total revenue guidance of US$280 - US$295 million. This revenue growth was driven primarily by the U.S. commercial launch of Joenja?, and we also delivered continued strong RUCONEST? revenue growth and new patient enrollments as well as the first material named patient program revenues for leniolisib for patients outside of the U.S.

We now have 83 patients on Joenja? paid therapy in the U.S., with additional patients enrolled and pending, and a further 138 patients globally are on leniolisib therapy through one of our access programs or ongoing clinical trials. We have increased our focus on finding additional APDS patients through a combination of genetic testing, family testing, and Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) resolution efforts. The VUS resolution work seeks to confirm additional genetic variants that cause APDS and thereby diagnose additional patients from amongst the over 1,100 patients in the U.S. who have received such inconclusive VUS genetic testing results to date. All of these efforts have now begun to increase the number of identified APDS patients in the U.S., and we anticipate providing further updates in the near future on our progress in the U.S. and globally.

We continue to be very active with regulatory agencies worldwide in our efforts to make Joenja? (leniolisib) available to patients in as many markets as possible, and continue to prepare for the commercialization of leniolisib in additional key global markets this year. Just last week Joenja? received regulatory approval in Israel, further demonstrating the product’s positive clinical benefit. In addition, the increasing number of requests for individual treatment on a named patient basis we are receiving reflects the unmet medical need for APDS patients outside of the U.S.
