For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 11.2 million of its common shares for $90.8 million. The Board has approved an increase to the previously announced share repurchase plan of an additional $150 million of common shares. Purchases under the share repurchase plan, which to date have totaled 18.3 million of its common shares for $138.4 million, began on February 21, 2024. The expiry date of the share repurchase plan is not currently known. This program is being and will continue to be implemented through open market or privately negotiated purchases, including under a plan intended to benefit from the affirmative defense under Rule 10b5-1, Rule 10b-18 or an automatic securities purchase plan, an accelerated share repurchase program, or other mechanisms. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements, including applicable blackout period restrictions, and other factors. The purchase price of any common shares will be determined in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws. The Company is relying on the exemptive relief granted by the Canadian Securities Authorities as described in its February 29, 2024 press release. Full Year 2025 Total Revenue and Net Product Sales Guidance For 2025, Aurinia is increasing total revenue guidance from a range of $250 million to $260 million to a range of $260 million to $270 million and net product sales guidance from a range of $240 million to $250 million to a range of $250 million to $260 million. 'We continue to see solid growth for LUPKYNIS, partially driven by the new 2024 American College of Rheumatology lupus nephritis treatment guidelines, which recommend the incorporation of drugs like LUPKYNIS into first-line therapy in order to preserve kidney function,' stated Peter Greenleaf, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aurinia. 'Additionally, we are excited about the positive results from our Phase 1 study of aritinercept, a dual inhibitor of B cell-activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). Aritinercept was well tolerated at all dose levels tested and single doses led to robust and long-lasting reductions in immunoglobulins (antibodies). We look forward to initiating clinical studies in at least two autoimmune diseases in the second half of this year.'

Aurinia Announces Positive Results from Phase 1 Study of Aritinercept (AUR200)
Single Doses of Aritinercept Led to Robust and Long-Lasting Reductions in Immunoglobulins Pharmacodynamic Effects Supportive of Once-Monthly Dosing Plan to Initiate Clinical Studies in at Least Two Autoimmune Diseases in the Second Half of This Year Aurinia to Host Conference Call Today, June 30, at 8:30 a.m. ET ROCKVILLE, Md. & EDMONTON, Alberta, June 30, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUPH) today announced positive results from a Phase 1 single-ascending-dose (SAD) study of aritinercept (AUR200), its dual inhibitor of B cell-activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). The study investigated aritinercept doses of 5 mg, 25 mg, 75 mg, 150 mg, 225 mg and 300 mg and placebo, administered by subcutaneous injection, in 61 healthy subjects. Aritinercept was well tolerated at all dose levels tested. There were no treatment-related Grade ≥3 adverse events, there were no treatment‑related serious adverse events (SAEs) and there were no discontinuations due to treatment-related adverse events. Adverse events that occurred in more than one subject included injection site reactions (24% aritinercept, 13% placebo), headache (11% aritinercept, 7% placebo), upper respiratory tract infection (7% aritinercept, 0% placebo) and back pain (4% aritinercept, 0% placebo). All injection site reactions were Grade 1. Single doses of aritinercept led to robust and long-lasting reductions in immunoglobulins (antibodies). Specifically, mean reductions from baseline to Day 28 of up to 48%, 55% and 20% were observed for immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG), respectively. "Dual inhibition of BAFF and APRIL to modulate B cells, including plasma cells, holds great promise in the treatment of a wide range of autoimmune immune diseases where these cells produce disease-causing autoantibodies," said Dr. Greg Keenan, Chief Medical Officer of Aurinia. "Based on today's positive results, which indicate robust and long‑lasting pharmacodynamic effects supportive of once-monthly dosing, we plan to initiate clinical studies of aritinercept in at least two autoimmune diseases in the second half of this year."
