Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Information 4/7/20 2 Certain statements made in this slide presentation may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable United States securities law. These forward-looking statements or information include but are not limited to statements or information with respect to: the approved label providing patent protection to December 2037; the estimated patient population for LN; potential peak annual US net sales of greater than $1 billion; LUPKYNIS being positioned for first line treatment; the results of our clinical trials; our commercialization strategy; timing of product availability; and our expected average annualized net revenue of ~$65,000. It is possible that such results or conclusions may change based on further analyses of these data. Words such as “anticipate,” “will,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “target," “plan," “goals," “objectives," “may” and other similar words and expressions, identify forward-looking statements. We have made numerous assumptions about the forward-looking statements and information contained herein, including among other things, assumptions about the patient population for LN; the adherence to treatment of LN patients; the average dosing per patient; the average annualized net revenue per patient; that another company will not create a substantial competitive product for Aurinia’s LN business without violating Aurinia’s intellectual property rights; Aurinia being able to extend and protect its patents for LN on terms acceptable to Aurinia; the size of the LN market; the accuracy of results from our clinical trials; the accuracy of reported data from third party studies and reports; and that Aurinia’s intellectual property rights are valid and do not infringe the intellectual property rights of other parties; that our suppliers and contractors will meet their contracted requirements. Even though the management of Aurinia believes that the assumptions made, and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking information by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Aurinia to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward- looking statements or information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the following: difficulties we may experience in completing the commercialization of LUKYNIS; the market and patient population for the LN business may not be as estimated; Aurinia may have to pay unanticipated expenses; Aurinia not being able to extend or fully protect its patent portfolio for LUPKYNIS; competitors may arise with similar products; Aurinia may not be able to obtain sufficient supply to meet commercial demand for LUPKYNIS in a timely fashion; unknown impact and difficulties imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations including nonclinical, clinical, regulatory and commercial activities; the results from our clinical studies and from third party studies and reports may not be accurate; and our assets or business activities may be subject to disputes that may result in litigation or other legal claims. Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward- looking statements and information, there may be other factors that cause actual results, performances, achievements or events to not be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. Except as required by law, Aurinia will not update forward-looking information. All forward-looking information contained in this presentation is qualified by this cautionary statement.

December 2037 (Personalized pharmacodynamic e-GFR dosing protocol)


 
LUPKYNIS is Positioned for First-Line Treatment in Active LN 6 Superior renal response rates vs SoC alone: In clinical trials, patients treated with LUPKYNIS + standard-of-care (SoC) were more than twice as likely to achieve a complete renal response compared to typical SoC alone Proteinuria reductions twice as fast as SoC: Patients treated with LUPKYNIS + SoC achieved target UPCR of <0.5 mg/mg in half the median time compared to typical SoC alone Demonstrated efficacy with reduced steroid use: 80% of patients in the pivotal trial reduced steroid use to <2.5 mg/day at Week 16 and 75% were on this dose at Week 52 Showed improved response rates in all parameters across immunologically-active classes of LN studied Evaluated across a diverse patient population Novel orally administered therapy, with no therapeutic drug-level monitoring (TDM) required 2x


 
Lupus Nephritis (LN) and LUPKYNIS Clinical Review


 
LN: A Serious Rare Disease that Disproportionately Affects Women and Minority Populations • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects 200 - 300K patients in the US ‐ Approximately 1 of 3 patients have already developed LN at the time of SLE diagnosis • Patients with LN are more likely to be female (90% of patients with SLE) • Non-white SLE patients (Blacks, Asians, and those of Hispanic ethnicity) are more likely to develop LN than whites 8


 
Economic Burden Compared to Non-renal SLE ~2x higher hospitalization rate ~2x longer hospital stays ~5x greater annual costs if kidney failure develops Clinical Burden Compared to Non-renal SLE LN accelerates nephron loss ~45x higher risk of kidney failure ~10% to 30% of patients with LN experience kidney failure within 15 years ~8x risk of myocardial infarction (MI) ~5x risk of cardiovascular mortality (CVM) ~3x risk of premature death 9 CVM (HR=4.9; 95% CI: 1.8-13.7; P=0.002) MI (HR=8.5; 95% CI: 2.2-33; P=0.002) CI=confidence interval; HR=hazard ratio. LN is associated with significantly elevated risk of kidney failure, cardiac events, and death


 
Target Proteinuria Decrease of: 10 LN Treatment Guidelines Support Decreased Proteinuria to Reduce Kidney Damage ACR=American College of Rheumatology; ERA-EDTA=European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association; EULAR=European League Against Rheumatism. EULAR/ERA-EDTA guidelines recommend more rigorous targets for treatment goals. These guidelines emphasize reducing cumulative glucocorticoid dose to reduce the risk of end-organ damage by 3 months at least 25% UPCR target below 0.5 to 0.7 mg/mg by 6 months at least 50% by 12 months ACR 2012 response is determined by physician’s own judgement and clinical impression
