A Letter
from
Our CEO
January 6, 2025
Dear fellow shareholders,
As we reflect on 2024, it is clear that the past
year brought formidable challenges for Moderna
along with significant advances, particularly for our
development pipeline. It was a year of navigating a
dynamic global landscape and evolving commercial
realities, demanding resilience, innovation
and adaptability.
The shifting dynamics of the COVID and RSV
vaccine markets tested our commercial strategies
and required us to reassess our financial framework.
These challenges underscored the complexities of
operating in a post-pandemic world and highlighted
the need to remain agile within a rapidly evolving
healthcare ecosystem.
Additionally, the impending transition within the U.S.
government has introduced uncertainty regarding
policies and priorities shaping our industry.
Yet, amidst these challenges, our unwavering
commitment to our Mission to deliver the greatest
possible impact to people through mRNA medicines
has served as our guiding force.
As you know, Moderna was established with the
goal of using mRNA, an information molecule,
to treat and prevent disease for people around
the world. In a relatively short time, we have
developed a large number of innovative medicines,
advancing our Mission and growing our portfolio
to two approved medicines, seven candidates in
Phase 3 trials and a total of 45 programs in our
development pipeline.
Our unwavering commitment
to our Mission to deliver the
greatest possible impact
to people through mRNA
medicines has served as our
guiding force.

A Letter from Our CEO
Our success in research and development is a
testament to our platform. With a demonstrated
probability of success for our mid- and late-stage
pipeline standing at approximately 69 percent
compared to the historical industry average of
approximately 19 percent, we are redefining what
is possible in biopharmaceutical innovation. As
we demonstrate the higher success rates of our
development candidates, we believe the value
ascribed to our broader pipeline based on higher
expected probabilities of success may increase
correspondingly.
Despite the challenges in 2024, we became a
multi-product company with the approval of
mRESVIA , our RSV vaccine for older adults. With
the launch of our updated COVID-19 and RSV
vaccines, Moderna is now the only company
with more than one approved mRNA product.
We also achieved four positive Phase 3 data
readouts across our respiratory portfolio, further
demonstrating our platform s potential to address
significant unmet medical needs and advance
public health.
Beyond our respiratory portfolio, we prioritized the
advancement of five non-respiratory programs,
with milestones including the initiation of a Phase
3 study of our norovirus vaccine, a positive readout
of three-year data from the Phase 2b trial of our
individualized neoantigen therapy (INT), as well
as the start of our third Phase 3 trial for INT in
partnership with Merck. We also took steps to
move two of our rare disease therapeutic programs
toward registrational trials.
While we are encouraged by this progress, we
recognize opportunities for improvement. With a
continuous learning mindset, we analyzed these
outcomes and adapted our business strategy
based on our successes and challenges. We are
confident that with our industry-leading mRNA
platform, technology, resources and team, we
are well-positioned to execute this strategy and
continue building a future where Moderna leads in
healthcare innovation, delivering on our Mission for
patients in 2025 and beyond.
