(NASDAQ: PTCT) will present an update on its commercial progress and R&D pipeline at the 42nd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference today, Monday, January 8, at 10:30am EST/7:30am PST. Matthew Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of PTC Therapeutics, will provide an update on 2023 accomplishments and highlight potential 2024 value-creating milestones. Preliminary 2023 unaudited financial results and 2024 financial guidance will also be provided. The presentation is being webcast live on the Events and Presentations page of the Investors section of PTC Therapeutics website at www.ptcbio.com. “2023 was a transformational year for PTC as we made necessary and important changes to become a leaner, more focused and financially stronger company positioned for future success,” said Matthew B. Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of PTC. “We look forward to a successful 2024, with anticipated key global regulatory submissions for our PKU program and multiple data readouts, including from our PTC518 HD program.” Key 2023 Corporate Highlights: • Unaudited net product revenue of $661 million in 2023 representing 23% year-over-year growth. • Strong year-over-year growth for the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) franchise, with unaudited net product revenue of $355 million for Translarna™ (ataluren) and $255 million for Emflaza® (deflazacort) in 2023. • Translarna growth was driven by new patients in existing geographies and continued geographic expansion. • Emflaza growth was due to continued new prescriptions, high compliance, and more favorable access. • PTC announced positive readouts from key programs in its clinical pipeline in 2023: • Highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful results in the Phase 3 registration-directed APHENITY clinical trial of sepiapterin in adult and pediatric patients with PKU. • Achievement of all key objectives of the readout of 12-week interim data in the PIVOT-HD study of PTC518 in HD. • PTC announced strategic portfolio prioritizations, which resulted in reductions in both operating expenses and headcount of approximately 25% and 30%, respectively. • In October, PTC finalized a royalty agreement, in which Royalty Pharma acquired additional royalties of Evrysdi for $1.0 billion upfront. The agreement included options for PTC to sell the remainder of its royalties of Evrysdi for up to $500 million or for Royalty Pharma to acquire half of such retained royalties for up to $250 million at a later date, less royalties received by PTC. PTC maintains all economics associated with up to $250 million in the remaining commercial sales milestones associated with Evrysdi global net sales. The

| proceeds from the financing were used to retire all outstanding debt obligations with Blackstone Life Sciences. 2024 Potential Key Clinical and Regulatory Events: • Submission of an MAA to the EMA for sepiapterin for the treatment of PKU is expected in the first quarter. • Submission of an NDA to the FDA for sepiapterin for the treatment of PKU is expected no later than the third quarter. • Results from 12-month interim data from the PIVOT-HD trial of PTC518 in HD patients are expected in the second quarter. • Submission of a BLA to the FDA for Upstaza for the treatment of AADC deficiency is expected in the first quarter. • Topline results from the CardinALS trial of utreloxastat in ALS are expected in the fourth quarter. • PTC expects the CHMP opinion from the re-examination procedure of the negative opinion on the Translarna conditional marketing authorization renewal in late January 2024, with ratification of that opinion by the European Commission 67 days later. • FDA meeting for Translarna to align on the specific contents of a potential NDA resubmission is scheduled for the first quarter. • FDA meeting for vatiquinone to discuss how the MOVE-FA data along with additional clinical and preclinical data could support an NDA submission in FA is scheduled for the first quarter. • Scientific advice feedback from the EMA on a potential submission of vatiquinone for conditional marketing authorization for Friedreich ataxia is expected in the first quarter. Unaudited 2023 Financial Results: • Total unaudited net revenue for full year 2023 was approximately $946 million. • Total unaudited net product revenue for full year 2023 was approximately $661 million. • DMD franchise unaudited revenue for full year 2023 was approximately $610 million, including unaudited net product revenue for Translarna of approximately $355 million and for Emflaza of approximately $255 million. • PTC expects to report approximately $278 million for full year 2023 collaboration and royalty revenue associated with Evrysdi.

The above information is based on preliminary unaudited information and management estimates for the full year 2023, subject to the completion of PTC's financial closing procedures. Evrysdi royalty revenue estimates are based on internal estimates. 2024 Financial Guidance: • PTC anticipates total revenues for the full year 2024 to be between $600 million and $850 million. • PTC anticipates GAAP R&D and SG&A expense for the full year 2024 to be between $740 and $835 million. • PTC anticipates Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expense for the full year 2024 to be between $660 and $755 million, including expected R&D expense milestone payments of up to $65 million and excluding estimated non-cash, stock-based compensation expense of $80 million. • PTC anticipates up to $90 million of payments for the full year 2024 upon achievement of potential regulatory success-based milestones from previous acquisitions, of which up to $65 million will be recorded as R&D operating expense.
