We are advancing our pipeline and accelerating innovation through focused execution of our Forward, Faster strategy.We are committed to addressing the high unmet needs of patients through a growing cell therapy and small molecule pipeline with breakthrough potential. This includes more than 20 programs, with four assets in clinical development across 11 indications, and more than 15 preclinical programs in oncology and immunology. We achieved a major regulatory milestone with the FDA clearance of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the Phase 1/2 ATALANTA-1 study of our CD19 CAR-T candidate, GLPG5101, in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R NHL), marking an important step forward in our cell therapy pipeline using our innovative decentralized manufacturing platform.We resumed recruitment in the Phase 1/2 PAPILIO-1 study with our BCMA CAR-T candidate, GLPG5301, in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM). As part of our collaboration agreement with Blood Centers of America (BCA), we selected Excellos in the San Diego area as the first decentralized manufacturing unit (DMU) within BCA’s nationwide network to manufacture GLPG5101 for the ATALANTA-1 study sites in the region. We further advanced our early-stage proprietary pipeline and progressed a next-generation armed, bispecific CAR-T candidate in hemato-oncology and a potential best-in-class small molecule candidate in immunology into IND-enabling studies, targeting clinical development in 2025-2026.We have €3.3 billion in cash and financial investments as of September 30, 2024, supporting our pipeline. We reconfirm the full-year 2024 cash burni guidance of €370 million to €410 million. Webcast presentation on October 31, 2024, at 13:00 CET / 8:00 am ET, www.glpg.com Mechelen, Belgium; October 30, 2024, 21:01 CET; regulated information – Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG) today announced financial results for the first nine months of 2024 and provided a business update. “I am proud of our team’s commitment in executing our Forward, Faster strategy,” said Paul Stoffels1, MD, Galapagos’ CEO and Chair of the Board of Directors. “The FDA's clearance of the ATALANTA-1 study of GLPG5101, produced on our decentralized manufacturing platform in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, marks a pivotal step towards realizing our vision of transforming patient outcomes through life-changing science and innovation. This is the first-ever FDA clearance for a clinical study in the U.S. with a fresh CAR-T product candidate delivered in a median vein-to-vein time of seven days. We remain focused on advancing our clinical pipeline in 11 indications and our potential best-in-class early-stage programs across multiple modalities and indications.” “With more than 20 active cell therapy and small molecule programs in oncology and immunology, we are accelerating our internal pipeline while we continue to assess business development opportunities. We reaffirm our 2024 cash burn guidance in the range of €370-410 million,” Thad Huston, Galapagos’ CFO and COO, added. Third quarter and recent business highlights and anticipated milestonesRegulatory and pipeline: The investigational new drug (IND) application for the Phase 1/2 ATALANTA-1 study of our CD19 candidate, GLPG5101, in R/R NHL has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and our goal is to activate clinical study sites and start enrolling patients in the U.S. before the end of 2024.We expect to submit an IND in early 2025 for the Phase 1/2 EUPLAGIA-1 study in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL) and Richter transformation (RT) of our CD19 CAR-T candidate, GLPG5201.Following the submission of a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the Phase 2 dose expansion study of GLPG5201 in R/R CLL and RT, we aim to start enrolling patients in 2025.We resumed enrolment in the Phase 1/2 PAPILIO-1 study of our BCMA CAR-T candidate, GLPG5301, in R/R MM.We will present new data from the ATALANTA-1 and EUPLAGIA-1 studies along with pre-clinical data for uza-cel, our TCR-T cell therapy candidate produced on our decentralized manufacturing platform in collaboration with Adaptimmune, at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December.We continued enrolling patients in the ongoing Phase 2 GALARISSO study in dermatomyositis (DM) and the Phase 2 GALACELA study in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with our oral small molecule TYK2 inhibitor, GLPG3667.We further advanced our early-stage proprietary pipeline and progressed a next-generation armed, bispecific CAR-T candidate in hemato-oncology and a potential best-in-class small molecule candidate in immunology into IND-enabling studies, targeting clinical development in 2025-2026.We are accelerating our early-stage pipeline of more than 15 programs in oncology and immunology with the objective of launching at least four IND/CTA-enabling studies in 2025 across different modalities and indications. From 2026 onward, our ambition is to fuel the clinical pipeline with at least two new clinical assets annually in various indications and across our cell therapy and small molecule portfolio. Operational: As part of our collaboration agreement with Blood Centers of America (BCA), we selected Excellos in the San Diego area as the first decentralized manufacturing unit (DMU) within BCA’s nationwide network to manufacture GLPG5101 for the ATALANTA-1 study sites in the region.We continue to expand our DMU network in Europe and the U.S. to manufacture our cell therapy candidates for clinical development and to support pivotal and commercial readiness. External innovation: We are exploring strategic partnerships, early-stage research collaborations, licensing, and bolt-on acquisitions in areas of high unmet medical need to accelerate our cell therapy and small molecule pipeline in oncology and immunology. Corporate: The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Oleg Nodelman as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director by way of co-optation effective October 7, 2024, replacing Dr. Dan Baker who stepped down on October 6, 2024.

The comparative first nine months of 2023 have been restated accordingly for the presentation of the results related to the Jyseleca® business. Results from our continuing operationsTotal operating loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was €125.6 million, compared to an operating loss of €41.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, amounted to €200.1 million, compared to €179.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The revenue recognition related to the exclusive access rights granted to Gilead for our drug discovery platform amounted to €172.7 million for the first nine months of both 2024 and 2023. Our deferred income balance on September 30, 2024, includes €1.1 billion allocated to our drug discovery platform that is recognized linearly over the remaining period of our 10-year collaboration. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, amounted to €19.1 million and related to the supply of Jyseleca® to Alfasigma under the transition agreement. The related revenues are reported in total net revenues.R&D expenses in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €238.2 million, compared to €167.2 million for the first nine months of 2023. This increase was primarily explained by higher costs for cell therapy and small molecule programs in oncology.G&A and S&M expenses amounted to €93.2 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to €87.4 million in the first nine months of 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees, mainly related to business development activities and due to an increase in S&M expenses due to investments in strategic marketing for oncology. Both increases were partly offset by a decrease in G&A personnel expenses, mainly due to a decreased cost for our subscription rights plans.Other operating income amounted to €24.8 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to €32.9 million for the same period last year. This decrease is mainly driven by lower grants and R&D incentives. Net financial income in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €103.5 million, compared to net financial income of €90.3 million for the first nine months of 2023. Fair value adjustments and net currency exchange results in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €31.8 million, compared to fair value adjustments and net currency exchange gains of €36.3 million for the first nine months of 2023, and were primarily attributable to €3.1 million of unrealized currency exchange losses on our cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments at amortized cost in U.S. dollars, and to €35.7 million of positive changes in fair value of current financial investments.Net other financial income in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €71.7 million, compared to net other financial income of €54.0 million for the first nine months of 2023, and was primarily attributable to €70.6 million of interest income, which increased significantly due to the increase in interest rates. Net tax income in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €1.7 million, compared to net tax expenses of €12.2 million for the first nine months of 2023. The net tax expenses in 2023 were primarily due to the re-assessment of net deferred tax liabilities and corporate income tax payables as a result of a one-off intercompany transaction. Net loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2024 was €20.4 million, compared to a net profit from continuing operations of €36.2 million for the first nine months of 2023.Results from discontinued operations (€ millions) Nine months ended September 30 % Change 2024 2023 Product net sales 11.4 82.1 -86% Collaboration revenues 26.0 187.0 -86% Total net revenues 37.4 269.1 -86% Cost of sales (2.2) (13.5) -84% R&D expenses (13.6) (145.0) -91% G&A and S&M expenses (10.8) (94.7) -89% Other operating income 55.2 7.1 Operating profit 66.0 23.0 Net financial result 3.3 (3.7) Income taxes (0.1) (1.4) Net profit from discontinued operations 69.2 17.9 Total operating profit from discontinued operations amounted to €66.0 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to an operating profit of €23.0 million in the same period last year.

The operational cash burn for the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €321.3 million and can be reconciled to our cash flow statement by considering the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of €111.8 million, adjusted by (i) the net sale of current financial investments amounting to €260.2 million, (ii) the cash-out related to the sale of subsidiaries of €13.8 million, and (iii) the acquisition of financial assets held at fair value through other comprehensive income of €36.9 million.ii General and administrativeiii Sales and marketing Attachment Galapagos Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
