“We are adopting and exploring the use of AI technologies in our business, which introduces new risks and uncertainties. These include potential inaccuracies or biases in AI outputs, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and evolving global regulatory requirements governing AI use. Reliance on flawed outputs could result in lower quality decision-making or prevent us from effectively utilizing AI in our business. We may also become vulnerable to operational disruptions if the AI technologies we use experience downtimes or are compromised by cyberattacks. …”see in full comparison
“In addition, we may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, which have tended to become more stringent over time. These current or future laws and regulations may impair our research, development or production efforts. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in substantial fines, penalties or other sanctions or liabilities, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.”see in full comparison
“Further, the continued threats of new or increased tariffs, sanctions, trade restrictions and trade barriers as well as ongoing changes in U.S. and foreign government trade policies, including potential modifications to existing trade agreements, have had and may continue to have a generally disruptive impact on the global economy and, therefore, negatively impact revenues from sales of our products. Given the volatility and uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of such tariffs and other aspects of U.S. …”see in full comparison
There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding the export of our products may create delays in the introduction of our products in international markets or, in some cases, prevent the export of our products to some countries altogether. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the provision of certain products and services to countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions. The U.S. and other countries have imposed and may continue to impose new trade restrictions and export regulations, have levied tariffs and taxes on certain goods, and could continue to significantly increase tariffs on a broad array ofsee in full comparisongoods.goods,Forincludingexample, on February 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed executive orders imposing a 25% tariff on certain imports from Mexicopharmaceutical andCanada,biologicaland a 10% tariff on certain imports from China, which were to take effect on February 4, 2025. A 30-day pause was granted to Mexico and Canada. However, these newly proposed and imposed tariffs have resulted in retaliatory tariffs, and threats thereof, against U.S. goods. The ultimate impact of these potential and actual tariffs on our business and financial condition is unknown. In addition, ongoing changes in U.S. and foreign government trade policies, including potential modifications to existing trade agreements, could introduce additional uncertainty. Trade restrictions and export regulations, or increases in tariffs (including tariffs on imports from Europe) and additional taxes, including any retaliatory measures, can negatively impact end-user demand, increase our supply chain complexity and our manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or restrict our ability to sell products, provide services or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, any or all of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition and, given the nature of our products, relocating the manufacturing supply can be a complex, costly and time-consuming process making it difficult to react quickly to a changing environment.products.
“The ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and other jurisdictions have resulted in multiple rounds of tariffs and anticipated tariffs affecting pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients, including finished drug products, manufacturing equipment, and related supplies. Such tariffs may significantly increase our costs for certain products.

Litigation involving patent matters is frequently settled between the parties, rather than continuing to a court ruling. The FTC has publicly stated that, in its view, certain types of agreements between branded and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the settlement of patent litigation or the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of branded drugs violate the antitrust laws and has commenced investigations and brought actions against some companies that have entered into such agreements. In particular, the FTC has expressed its intention to take aggressive action to challenge settlements that include an alleged transfer of value from the brand company to the generic company (so-called “pay for delay” patent litigation settlements). The U.S. Congress and state legislatures have also identified pharmaceutical patent litigation settlements as potential impediments to generic competition and have introduced, and in states like California passed, legislation to regulate them. Third party payors have also challenged such settlements on the grounds that they increase drug prices. Because there is currently no precise legal standard with respect to the lawfulness of such settlements, many pharmaceutical companies, including us, have faced extensive litigation over whether patent litigation settlements they have entered into are reasonable and lawful. From June 2020 to May 2022, several lawsuits were filed on behalf of purported direct and indirect Xyrem purchasers, alleging that the patent litigation settlement agreements we entered with Hikma and other ANDA filers violate state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. As of October 2025, we have resolved the entirety of the Xyrem Antitrust Litigation. For additional information on these lawsuits, as well as a class settlement agreement with respect thereto, see "Xyrem Antitrust Litigation" in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Formsee in full comparison10‑K.10-K. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed against us making similar or related allegations. We cannot predict the outcome ofthese orany potential additional lawsuits; however, if the plaintiffsin the class action complaintswere to be successful in their claims, they may be entitled to injunctive relief or we may be required to pay significant monetary damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Historically, our business was substantially dependent on Xyrem, and our financial results were significantly influenced by sales of Xyrem. Our current 2026 operating plan assumes that Xywav, with 92% lower sodium compared to high-sodium oxybates (depending on the dose) and absence of a sodium warning, will remain the #1 branded oxybate treatment for narcolepsy; the position it held based on revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024.2025. While we expect that our business will continue to be meaningfully dependent on oxybate revenues, there is no guarantee that oxybate revenues will remain at current levels. In this regard, our ability to maintain oxybate revenues and realize the anticipated benefits from our investment in Xywav are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as discussed in greater detail below, including: those related to the commercialization of Xywav for the treatment of IH in adults and adoption in that indication; competition from the introduction of AG versions of high-sodium oxybate and branded products, such as Avadel’sAlkermes’ once-nightly dose, high-sodium oxybate branded product Lumryz,Lumryz (acquired through its acquisition of Avadel), for treatment of cataplexy and/or EDS in adults with narcolepsy in the U.S. market, as well as potential future competition from additional AG and generic versions of high-sodium oxybate, including a generic version of high-sodium oxybate from Amneal approved in September 2025, from Ascent approved in November 2025, and from other competitors; increased pricing pressure from, changes in policies by, or restrictions on reimbursement imposed by, third party payors, including our ability to maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement for Xywav and Xyrem; increased rebates required to maintain access to our products; challenges to our intellectual property around Xyrem and/or Xywav, including from pending antitrust and intellectual property litigation; and continued acceptance of Xywav and Xyrem by physicians and patients. In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hikma launched its AG version of high-sodium oxybate in January 2023 and Amneal launched its AG version of high-sodium oxybate in July 2023. For a discussion of risks associated with maintaining the AG royalty revenue from thesethe AGHikma products,AG, see the risk factor below titled “The introduction of new products in the U.S. market that compete with, or otherwise disrupt the market for, our oxybate products has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect sales of our oxybate products.” We have seen a negative impact and expect to see a further negative impact on our oxybate revenues as a result of these AG products and Avadel’sAlkermes’ Lumryz and any generic products and new branded products that may compete with our oxybate products. A substantial decline in oxybate revenues could cause us to reduce our operating expenses or seek to raise additional funds and would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects, including on our ability to acquire, in-license or develop new products to grow our business.
New treatment options for cataplexy and EDS in narcolepsy have been commercially launched and, in the future, other products may be launched that are competitive withwith, or disrupt the market forfor, our oxybate products, Xywav and Xyrem.
Ten companies have sent us notices that they had filed ANDAs seeking approval to market a generic version of Xyrem. We filed patent lawsuits against all ten companies and have settled with all ten of the companies. To date, FDA has approved or tentatively approved four of these ANDAs, and we believe that it is likely that FDA will approve or tentatively approve some or all of the others. Pursuant to our patent litigation settlement with the first filer, Hikma launched its AG version of high-sodium oxybate in the U.S. beginning on January 1, 2023. Accordingly, beginning in January 2023, Xywav and Xyrem face competition from an AG version of high-sodium oxybate. We also granted Hikma a license to launch its own generic high-sodium oxybate product but, if it elects to launch its own generic product, Hikma will no longer have the right to sell the Hikma AG product. In our settlements with Amneal, Lupin, and Par, we granted each party the right to sell a limited volume of an AG product in the U.S. beginning on July 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2025, with royalties to be paid to us. Amneal launched its AG version of high-sodium oxybate in July 2023. At this time, Amneal hashad rights to sell a low-single-digit percentage of historical Xyrem sales over each 6-month sales period. At this time, Lupin and Par havenever elected not to launch an AG product. AG products are distributed through the same REMS as Xywav and Xyrem. We also granted each of Amneal, Lupin and Par a license to launch its own generic high-sodium oxybate product under its ANDA on or after December 31, 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances, including the circumstance where Hikma elects to launch its own generic product.

As of December 31, 2025, Amneal’s rights to sell anits AG product.version of high-sodium oxybate terminated. In our settlements with each of six other ANDA filers, we granted each a license to launch its own generic high-sodium oxybate product under its ANDA on or after December 31, 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances, including circumstances where Hikma launches its own generic high-sodium oxybate product. It is possible that additional companies may file ANDAs seeking to market a generic version of Xyrem which could lead to additional patent litigation or challenges with respect to Xyrem and/or additional competition for our oxybate products.
Other companies may develop sodium oxybate products for the treatment of narcolepsy, using an alternative formulation or a different delivery technology, and seek approval in the U.S. using an NDA approval pathway under Section 505(b)(2) and referencing the safety and efficacy data for Xyrem. For example, we face competition from branded products for treatment of cataplexy and/or EDS in narcolepsy, such as Avadel’sAlkermes’ Lumryz.Lumryz (acquired through its acquisition of Avadel). On May 1, 2023, Avadel announced that it had received FDA approval and ODE through May 1, 2030 for Lumryz, a fixed-dose, high-sodium oxybate which uses its proprietary technology for the treatment of EDS and cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy. ForOn additionalSeptember information3, on2025, litigationAvadel involvingannounced thisplans matter,to see "FDA Litigation" in Note 13, Commitmentsdevelop and Contingencies-Legalcommercialize Proceedingswith XWPharma Ltd. a no salt, once nightly valiloxybate product for the treatment of thenarcolepsy Notesand to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.IH. Xyrem and Xywav also face increased competition from other branded entrants to treat EDS in narcolepsy such as pitolisantWakix and Sunosi.Sunosi, which we sold to Axsome in 2022. Other companies have announced that they have product candidates in various phases of development to treat the symptoms of narcolepsy, such as Axsome’s reboxetine, and various companies are performing research and developmentR&D on orexin 2 receptor agonists for the treatment of sleep disorders.disorders, including narcolepsy and IH, which companies include Takeda, Merck & Co., Inc., Eisai Co., Ltd., Centessa Pharmaceuticals plc and Alkermes. In this regard, Alkermes acquired Avadel in February 2026, the strategic rationale for which Alkermes has stated includes the combined companies supporting a broad development strategy for Alkermes’ portfolio of orexin 2 receptor agonists and supporting the advancement of clinical studies to support potential label expansion opportunities for Lumryz.
We expect that Xywav for the treatment of both cataplexy and EDS in patients with narcolepsy will continue to face competition from generic or AG high-sodium oxybate products or branded entrants in narcolepsy, such as Avadel’sAlkermes’ Lumryz, notwithstanding FDA recognizing ODE for Xywav. For example, we received notices in June 20212021, February 2023 and FebruaryJuly 2023,2025 that LupinLupin, Teva and Teva,Granules, respectively, filed ANDAs for generic versions of Xywav. On October 13, 2023, Lupin announced that it has received tentative approval for its application to market a generic version of Xywav. In addition, in July 2025, we received notice from Granules that it has filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Xywav. Furthermore, in January 2026, we received notices from Tris Pharma that it had filed with FDA a Section 505(b)(2) NDA for generic versions of Xyrem and Xywav. We have filed patent infringement suits against these ANDA filers. For additional information see “Xywav Patent Litigation” and “Tris Pharma Patent Litigation” in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K. Additional companies may file ANDAs seeking to market a generic version of Xywav which could lead to additional patent litigation or challenges with respect to Xywav and/or additional competition.
Moreover, generic or AG high-sodium oxybate products or branded high-sodium oxybate entrants in narcolepsy, such as Avadel’sAlkermes’ Lumryz, as well as non-oxybate products intended for the treatment of EDS or cataplexy in narcolepsy or IH including new market entrants, even if not directly competitive with Xywav or Xyrem, have had and may continue to have the effect of changing treatment regimens and payor or formulary coverage of Xywav or Xyrem in favor of other products, and indirectly adversely affect sales of Xywav and Xyrem. Examples of such new market entrants of non-oxybate products include pitolisant,Wakix, a drug that was approved by FDA in 2019 for the treatment of EDS in adult patients with narcolepsy and approved by FDA in 2020 for an adult cataplexy indication in the U.S. PitolisantWakix has also been approved and marketed in Europe to treat adult patients with narcolepsy, with or without cataplexy, and to treat EDS in obstructive sleep apnea. Harmony Biosciences has announced a phase 3 study for pitolisant for IH after receiving a refusal to file from FDA in February 2025. In addition, Alkermes acquired Avadel in February 2026, which may strengthen both companies and we may experience increased competition from the combined company. We are also aware that prescribers often prescribe branded or generic medications for cataplexy and IH, before or instead of prescribing oxybate therapy including Xywav and Xyrem, and that payors often require patients to try such medications before they will cover Xywav or Xyrem, even if they are not approved for this use. Examples of such products are described in “Business—Competition” in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
We expect that the approval and launch of AG products or other generic versions of Xyrem or Xywav and the approval and launch of any other sodium oxybate product, such as Avadel’sAlkermes’ Lumryz, or alternative product that treats narcolepsy will continue to have a negative impact on, and could have a material adverse effect on, our sales of Xywav and Xyrem and on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
In its approval of Hikma’s ANDA, FDA waived the requirement of a single shared REMS with the Xywav and Xyrem REMS, approving Hikma’s ANDA with a generic high-sodium oxybate REMS separate from the Xywav and Xyrem REMS, except for the requirement that the high-sodium oxybate REMS program pharmacies contact the Xywav and Xyrem REMS by phone to verify and report certain information. The generic high-sodium oxybate REMS was approved with the condition that it be open to all future sponsors of ANDAs or NDAs for high-sodium oxybate products. In its approval of Avadel’s high-sodium oxybate product, FDA also approved a separate REMS for that product, also with a requirement that the pharmacies in the Avadel-sponsoredAvadel (now Alkermes) -sponsored REMS contact the Xywav and Xyrem REMS to verify and report certain information. Administration of multiple sodium oxybate REMS systems could increase the risks associated with oxybate distribution, could make it more difficult or expensive for us to distribute Xywav and Xyrem and disrupt patient access to Xywav or Xyrem. Because patients, consumers and others may not differentiate other high-sodium oxybate products from our sodium oxybate products or differentiate between the different REMS programs, any negative outcomes, including risks to the public, caused by or otherwise related to a separate high-sodium oxybate REMS, could have a significant negative impact in terms of product liability, our reputation and good will,goodwill, public acceptance of Xywav or Xyrem as a treatment for cataplexy and EDS in narcolepsy or Xywav for the treatment of IH, and prescribers’ willingness to prescribe, and patients’ willingness to take, Xywav or Xyrem, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
REMS programs have increasingly drawn public scrutiny from the U.S. Congress, the FTC, the USPTO, and FDA, with allegations that such programs are used as a means of improperly blocking or delaying competition. In December 2019, as part of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020, the U.S. Congress passed legislation known as the CREATES. CREATES is intended to prevent companies from using REMS and other restricted distribution programs as a means to deny potential competitors access to product samples that are reasonably necessary to conduct testing in support of an application that references a listed drug or biologic, and provides such potential competitors a potential private right of action if the innovator fails to timely provide samples upon request. CREATES also grants FDA additional authority regarding generic products with REMS. A further example of continued interest in REMS oversight came from the USPTO in collaboration with FDA in November 2022, when they published an RFC in the Federal Register that asked, “What policy considerations or concerns should the USPTO and FDA explore in relation to the patenting of REMS associated with certain FDA-approved products?” The comments for this RFC closed on February 6, 2023.
It is possible that the FTC, FDA or other governmental authorities could claim that, or launch an investigation into whether, we are using our REMS programs in an anticompetitive manner or have engaged in other anticompetitive practices, whether under CREATES or otherwise. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act further states that a REMS ETASU shall not be used by an NDA holder to block or delay generic drugs or drugs covered by an application under Section 505(b)(2) from entering the market. In its 2015 letter approving the Xyrem REMS, FDA expressed concern that we were aware that the Xyrem REMS is blocking competition. From June 2020 to May 2022, we were served with a number of lawsuits that included allegations that we had used the Xyrem REMS to delay approval of generic high-sodium oxybate. In December 2020, these cases were centralized and transferred to the United StatesU.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, where the multidistrict litigation will proceed for the purpose of discovery and pre-trial proceedings. As of October 2025, we have resolved the entirety of the Xyrem Antitrust Litigation. For additional information on these lawsuits, as well as a class settlement agreement with respect thereto, see "Xyrem Antitrust Litigation" (and for other litigation and settlement involving our listing of our REMS patent in FDA's publication “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,” orthe Orange Book,Book), see "Avadel Litigation") in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed against us making similar or related allegations or that governmental authorities could commence an investigation. We cannot predict the outcome of these orany potential additional lawsuits; however, if the plaintiffs were to be successful in their claims, they may be entitled to injunctive relief or we may be required to pay significant monetary damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Our ability to maintain or increase sales of Epidiolex/Epidyolex (cannabidiol) is subject to many risks. There are many factors that could cause the commercialization of Epidiolex to be unsuccessful, including a number of factors that are outside our control. The commercial success of Epidiolex depends on the extent to which patients and physicians accept and adopt Epidiolex as a treatment for seizures associated with LGS, DS and TSC, and we do not know whether our or others’ estimates in this regard will be accurate.TSC. Physicians may not prescribe Epidiolex and patients may be unwilling to use Epidiolex if coverage is not provided or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of the cost. Additionally, any negative development for Epidiolex in the market, in clinical development for additional indications, or in regulatory processes in other jurisdictions, may adversely impact the commercial results and potential of Epidiolex. In the future, we expect Epidiolex to face competition from generic cannabinoids. In November and December 2022, we received notices from various ANDA filers that theyWe have eachsettled filedpatent litigation with FDAeach anof ANDAthe forten companies seeking to market a generic version of Epidiolex (cannabidiol) oral solution.

An adverse outcome in any such litigation, or the entry into additional settlement agreements, could result in the approval and commercialization of generic versions of Epidiolex earlier than anticipated and may have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
In addition to Xywav, Epidiolex/Epidyolex and our other neuroscience products and product candidates, we are commercializing a portfolio of products, including our other lead marketed products, Zepzelca,Ziihera, RylazeModeyso, Zepzelca and Ziihera.Rylaze. An inability to effectively commercialize our other lead marketed products and to maximize their potential where possible through successful research and developmentR&D activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our investment in Zepzelca is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: our ability to successfully commercialize Zepzelca in the U.S. and Canada; adequate supply of Zepzelca to meet demand; availability of favorable treatment pathway designations pricing and adequate coverage and reimbursement; the potential for negative trial data read-outs in ongoing or future Zepzelca clinical trials; our and PharmaMar’s, ability to maintain accelerated approval or successfully complete a confirmatory study of Zepzelca; competition from Amgen Inc.’s tarlatamab, a newlyproduct approved product for the treatment of extensive-stage metastatic SCLC in May 2024; and patients’ access to lung cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment. In July and August 2024, we received notices from Zepzelca ANDA filers. On September 11, 2024, we and PharmaMar filed a patent infringement suit against the Zepzelca ANDA Filers in the United StatesU.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. For additional information see “Zepzelca Patent Litigation” in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K. Additional companies may file ANDAs seeking to market a generic version of Zepzelca which could lead to additional patent litigation or challenges with respect to Zepzelca.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our investments in Rylaze is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to successfully commercialize Rylaze including creating awareness among health care professionals and ensuring that patients with ALL or LBL will be given the appropriate course of therapy and dosing regimen based on the currently approved label.

The current administration is pursuing policies to reduce regulations and expenditures across government including at HHS, FDA, CMS and related agencies. These actions, presentlyprimarily directed by executive orders or memoranda from the Office of Management and Budget, may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for our business. TheseFor actionsexample, mayon September 30, 2025, the current administration announced the first several agreements with major pharmaceutical companies that requires drug manufacturers to offer, through a direct-to-consumer platform, U.S. patients and Medicaid programs prescription drug MFN pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues, in exchange for tariff relief. Other recent actions, for example, include directives(1) directing agencies to reduce agency workforce,workforce rescindingand cut programs; (2) directing HHS and other agencies to lower prescription drug costs through a Bidenvariety of initiatives, including by improving upon the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program and establishing MFN pricing for pharmaceutical products; (3) imposing tariffs on imported pharmaceutical products; and (4) as part of the MAHA Commission’s Strategy Report released in September 2025, working across government agencies to increase enforcement on direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising.

Finally, U.S. Congress may introduce and ultimately pass health care related legislation that could impact the drug approval process and make changes to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program created under the IRA.IRA as well as PBMs. We cannot predict which additional measures may be adopted or the impact of current and additional measures on the marketing, pricing and demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Adequate coverage and reimbursement from third party payors may not be available for our products and we may be unable to successfully contract for coverage from pharmacy benefit managersPBMs and other organizations; conversely, to secure coverage from these organizations, we may be required to pay rebates or other discounts or other restrictions to reimbursement, either of which could diminish our sales or adversely affect our ability to sell our products profitably.
As part of the overall trend toward cost containment, third party payors often require prior authorization for, and require reauthorization for continuation of, prescription products or alternatively impose step edits, which require prior use of another medication, usually a generic or preferred brand, prior to approving coverage for a new or more expensive product. Such restrictive conditions for reimbursement and an increase in reimbursement-related activities can extend the time required to fill prescriptions and may discourage patients from seeking treatment. We cannot predict actions that third party payors may take, or whether they will limit the access and level of reimbursement for our products or refuse to provide any approvals or coverage. From time to time, third party payors have refused to provide reimbursement for our products, and others may do so in the future.
Third party PBMs, other similar organizations and payors can limit coverage to specific products on an approved list, or formulary, which might: not include all of the approved products for a particular indication,indication; exclude drugs from their formularies in favor of competitor drugs or alternative treatments,treatments; place drugs on formulary tiers with higher patient co-pay obligations,obligations; and/or mandate stricter utilization criteria. Formulary exclusion effectively encourages patients and providers to seek alternative treatments, make a complex and time-intensive request for medical exemptions, or pay 100% of the cost of a drug. In addition, in many instances, certain PBMs, other similar organizations and third party payors may exert negotiating leverage by requiring incremental rebates, discounts or other concessions from manufacturers in order to maintain formulary positions, which could continue to result in higher gross to net deductions for affected products. The market for PBM services has become highly concentrated and vertically integrated, giving these entities further leverage in negotiating rebates, discounts or other concessions. In this regard, we have entered into agreements with PBMs and payor accounts to provide rebates to those entities related to formulary coverage for our products, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to agree to coverage terms with other PBMs and other third party payors. Payors could decide to exclude our products from formulary coverage lists, impose step edits that require patients to try alternative, including generic, treatments before authorizing payment for our products, limit the types of diagnoses for which coverage will be provided or impose a moratorium on coverage for products while the payor makes a coverage decision. An inability to maintain adequate formulary positions could increase patient cost-sharing for our products and cause some patients to determine not to use our products. Any delays or unforeseen difficulties in reimbursement approvals could limit patient access, depress therapy adherence rates, and adversely impact our ability to successfully commercialize our products. In addition, PBMs and other third-party payors could implement alternative funding programs that could have an impact on our product revenue. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining broad coverage for our products, our anticipated revenue from and growth prospects for our products could be negatively affected.
In many countries outside the U.S., procedures to obtain price approvals, coverage and reimbursement can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing authorization. Many European countries periodically review their reimbursement of medicinal products, which could have an adverse impact on reimbursement status.status or financial conditions. In addition, we expect that legislators, policymakers and healthcare insurance funds in the EU member states will continue to propose and implement cost-containing measures, such as lower maximum prices, lower or lack of reimbursement coverage and incentives to use cheaper, usually generic, products as an alternative to branded products, and/or branded products available through parallelcross importborder trade to keep healthcare costs down. Moreover, in order to obtain reimbursement for our products in some European countries, including some EU member states, we may be required to compile additional data comparing the cost-effectiveness of our products to other available therapies. HTA of medicinal products is becoming an increasingly common part of the pricing and reimbursement procedures in some EU member states, including those representing the larger markets. The HTA process, which is currently governed by national laws in each EU member state,process is the procedure to assess therapeutic, economic and societal impact of a given medicinal product in the national healthcare systems of the individual country. The outcome of an HTA will often influence the pricing and reimbursement status granted to these medicinal products by the competent authorities of other individual EU member states. The extent to which pricing and reimbursement decisions are influenced by the HTA of the specific medicinal product currently varies between EU member states. In January 2025, the EU HTA regulationRegulation 2021/2282 entered into application. This regulation aims to harmonize the clinical benefit assessment of HTAhealth technologies across the EU.EU by creating a framework of rules, procedures and methodologies for conducting Joint Clinical Assessments at the EU level. Under this regulation, EU member states must use common HTA tools, methodologies, and procedures across the EU. However, individual member states remain responsible for determining the overall value of a new health technology within their respective healthcare systems, as well as making pricing and reimbursement decisions. If we are unable to maintain favorable pricing and reimbursement status in EU member states that represent significant markets,markets for us, our anticipated revenue from and growth prospects for our products in the EU could be negatively affected. For example, the EC granted marketing authorization for Enrylaze in September 2023, and, as part of our rolling launch of Enrylaze in Europe, we are making pricing and reimbursement submissions in European countries. If we experience setbacks or unforeseen difficulties in obtaining favorable pricing and reimbursement decisions, including as a result of regulatory review delays, planned launches in the affected EU member states would be delayed, which could negatively impact anticipated revenue from and growth prospects for Enrylaze.
Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the healthcare industry in the U.S. to fundamental changes, particularly given the current atmosphere of mounting criticism of prescription drug costs in the U.S. We expect there will continue to be legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably, as governmental oversight and scrutiny of biopharmaceutical companies is increasing. For example, we anticipate that the U.S. Congress, state legislatures, and federal and state regulators may adopt or accelerate adoption of new healthcare policies and reforms intended to curb healthcare costs, such as federal and state controls on reimbursement for drugs (including under Medicare, Medicaid and commercial health plans), new or increased requirements to pay prescription drug rebates and penalties to government health care programs, and additional pharmaceutical cost transparency policies that aim to require drug companies to justify their prices through required disclosures. In addition, policymakers and federal agencies, including the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation, are advancing new drug pricing models to implement MFN reference pricing, which has been a focus of the Trump Administration’s health policy agenda. These initiatives, if finalized and implemented, could reduce the net prices for certain products, exert downward pricing pressure, and adversely affect our revenues and profitability. This includes efforts by individual states in the U.S. to pass legislation and implement regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including by establishing Prescription Drug Affordability Boards (or similar entities) to review high-cost drugs and, in some cases, set upper payment limits and implementing marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures.

In addition, under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, rebates owed by manufacturers are no longer subject to a cap on the rebate amount effective January 1, 2024, which may adversely affect our rebate liability. The foregoing may negatively impact our overall rebate and discount liability, which would have a negative adverse effect on our revenues.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the OBBBA, which includes significant changes to Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA. These reforms are anticipated to decrease federal health care spending by approximately $1 trillion by significantly reducing Medicaid spending and enrollment, making changes to the Medicare program, and altering ACA marketplace enrollment provisions. Such decreases to federal health care spending and loss of health care coverage could reduce access to, and reimbursement for, our products, which could have a negative adverse effect on our revenues.
Legislative and regulatory proposals that have recently been considered include, among other things, proposals to limit the terms of patent litigation settlements with generic sponsors, to define certain conduct around patenting and new product development as unfair competition, to address the scope of orphan drug exclusivity and to facilitate the importation of drugs into the U.S. from other countries. Legislative and regulatory proposals to reform the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry and reimbursement for pharmaceutical drugs are continually changing, and all such considerations may adversely affect our business and industry in ways that we cannot accurately predict.
MFN pricing models have remained an area of significant interest to the Trump Administration. On July 31, 2025, President Trump issued letters to 17 pharmaceutical companies reiterating the requirements of the May 12, 2025 executive order and demanding that such companies extend MFN pricing to Medicaid patients, guarantee MFN pricing for newly-launched drug products, return increased revenues abroad to American patients and provide for direct purchasing at MFN pricing. The letters also urged these companies to stipulate that they will not offer other developed nations better prices for new drugs than the prices offered for such products in the U.S. The letters called for engagement with FDA and CMS within 60 days to implement these changes and threatened to use “every tool in our arsenal” to address what the letter characterized as “abusive drug pricing practices”. Further, the current administration has announced agreements with several pharmaceutical companies that require the drug manufacturers to offer Medicaid programs prescription drug MFN pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues. As of January 2026, 16 of the 17 pharmaceutical companies that received the July 2025 letters from President Trump have signed agreements with the Trump Administration.
On November 6, 2025, CMS announced the GENErating cost Reductions for U.S. Medicaid (GENEROUS) Model, a model under which participating manufacturers may voluntarily offer MFN pricing to state Medicaid programs for covered outpatient drugs. On December 19, 2025, CMS issued proposed rules to establish the Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing (GLOBE) Model and the Guarding U.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs (GUARD) Model, two mandatory MFN pricing models impacting Part B drugs and Part D drugs in select geographic areas, respectively. Under the proposed rules, a manufacturer would owe rebates to Medicare if prices for their drugs exceeded the prices paid by other economically comparable reference countries, with an initial list of 19 reference countries included in the proposed rule.
Legislative and regulatory proposals to reform the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry and reimbursement for pharmaceutical drugs are continually changing, and all such considerations may adversely affect our business and industry in ways that we cannot accurately predict.
There is also ongoing activity related to health care coverage. The Affordable Care ActACA substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. These changes impacted previously existing government healthcare programs and have resulted in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment-for-performance initiatives. Further, federal and state policy makers have taken and may continue to try to take steps regarding health care coverage beyond the Affordable Care Act,ACA, which could have ramifications for the pharmaceutical industry. Additional legislative changes, regulatory changes, or guidance could be adopted, which may impact the marketing approvals and reimbursement for our products and product candidates. For example, there has been increasing legislative, regulatory, and enforcement interest in the U.S. with respect to drug pricing practices. There have been several U.S. Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation and regulatory initiatives designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, evaluate the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government healthcare program reimbursement methodologies for drug products beyond the changes enacted by the IRA.
If new healthcare policies or reforms intended to curb healthcare costs are adopted or if we experience negative publicity with respect to pricing of our products or the pricing of pharmaceutical drugs generally, the prices that we charge for our products may be affected, our commercial opportunity may be limited and/or our revenues from sales of our products may be negatively impacted. We have periodically increased the price of our products, including Xywav and Xyrem most recently in January 2025,2026, and there is no guarantee that we will not make similar price adjustments to our products in the future or that price adjustments we have taken or may take in the future will not negatively affect our sales volumes and revenues. There is no guarantee that such price adjustments will not negatively affect our reputation and our ability to secure and maintain reimbursement coverage for our products, which could limit the prices that we charge for our products, limit the commercial opportunities for our products and/or negatively impact revenues from sales of our products.
We expect that legislators, policymakers and healthcare insurance funds in Europe and other international markets will continue to propose and implement cost-containing measures to keep healthcare costs down. These measures could include limitations on the prices we will be able to charge for our products or the level of reimbursement available for these products from governmental authorities or third party payors as well as clawbacks and revenue caps. For example, in the U.K., the capVoluntary Pricing Access and Growth scheme on NHS spending on branded medicines agreed between the U.K. government and industry for 2019 to 2023 has remained unaltered despite higher than expected growth in NHS use of branded medicines, resulting in significant increases to the industry level revenue clawback rate payable on sales of branded medicines to the NHS.

In December 2025, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reached a newprovisional Directiveagreement andon athe newcomprehensive Regulation,revision which revise and replaceof the existing EU general pharmaceutical legislation. This proposalnew legislation includes increased transparency on research and developmentR&D costs or public contributions to these costs with a view to strengthen the negotiating position of national competent authorities of the EU member states responsible for pricing and reimbursement, as well as reinforced cooperation with these authorities on pricing and reimbursement matters. OnThe Aprilprovisional 10,agreement 2024,is still subject to the formal approval by the European Parliament adopted its position onand the proposals,Council whoseof legislativethe processesEU areand expectedsubsequent to continuepublication in 2025.the Official Journal of the EU. Further, an increasing number of European and other foreign countries use prices for medicinal products established in other countries as “reference prices” to help determine the price of the product in their own territory. Consequently, a downward trend in prices of medicinal products in some countries could contribute to similar downward trends elsewhere.
The manufacture of pharmaceutical products requires significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of process controls required to consistently produce the API and the finished product in sufficient quantities while meeting detailed product specifications on a repeated basis. We and our suppliers may encounter difficulties in production, including difficulties with the supply of manufacturing materials, production costs and yields, process controls, quality control and quality assurance, including testing of stability, impurities and impurity levels and other product specifications by validated test methods, and compliance with strictly enforced U.S.,U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. regulations. In addition, we and our suppliers are subject to FDA’s cGMP requirements, federal and state controlled substances obligations and equivalent rules and regulations prescribed by non-U.S. regulatory authorities. If we or any of our suppliers encounter manufacturing, quality or compliance difficulties with respect to any of our products, whether due to the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions imposed against Russia (including as a result of disruptions of global shipping, the transport of products, energy supply, cybersecurity incidents and banking systems as well as of our ability to control input costs) or otherwise, we may be unable to obtain or maintain regulatory approval or meet commercial demand for such products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, we could be subject to enforcement actionactions by regulatory authorities for our failure to comply with cGMP requirements with respect to the products we manufacture in our facilities as well as for our failure to adequately oversee compliance with cGMP by any of our third party suppliers operating under contract. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements subjects us and our suppliers to possible regulatory action, including restrictions on supply or shutdown, which may adversely affect our or aour supplier’s ability to supply the ingredients or finished products we need.
We are responsible for the manufacture and supply of Epidiolex/Epidyolex for commercial use and for use in clinical trials. The manufacturing of Epidiolex/Epidyolex necessitates compliance with GMP, and other regulatory requirements in jurisdictions internationally. Our ability to successfully manufacture Epidiolex/Epidyolex involves cultivation of botanical raw material from specific cannabinoid plants, extraction and purification processes, manufacture of finished products and labeling and packaging, which includes product information, tamper evidence and anti-counterfeit features, under tightly controlled processes and procedures. In addition, we must ensure chemical consistency among our batches, including clinical batches and, if approved, marketing batches. Demonstrating such consistency may require typical manufacturing controls as well as clinical data. We must also ensure that our batches conform to complex release specifications. We have a second site at which we can grow the specific cannabinoidcannabis plants that produce the CBD used in Epidiolex/Epidyolex and a second site at which we can crystallize the purified CBD from the liquid plant extract. If we are unable to manufacture Epidiolex/Epidyolex in accordance with regulatory specifications, including GMP,cGMP, or if there are disruptions in our manufacturing process due to damage, loss or otherwise, or failure to pass regulatory inspections of our manufacturing facilities, we may not be able to meet current demand or supply sufficient product for use in clinical trials, and this may also harm our ability to commercialize Epidiolex/Epidyolex on a timely or cost-competitive basis, if at all. Our manufacturing program requires significant time and resources and may not be successful, may lead to delays, interruptions to supply or may prove to be more costly than anticipated.
VyxeosZepzelca is manufactured by Simtra, which is a sole source supplier from a single site location. Moreover, the proprietary technology that supports the manufacture of Vyxeos is not easily transferable. Consequently, engaging an alternate manufacturer may be difficult, costly and time-consuming. If we fail to obtain a sufficient supply of VyxeosZepzelca in accordance with applicable specifications on a timely basis, our sales of Vyxeos,Zepzelca, our future maintenance and potential growth of the market for this product, our ability to conduct ongoing and future clinical trials of Vyxeos,Zepzelca, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.

We currently rely on WuXi,WuXi (Hong Kong), a company based in the PRC,PRC and subsidiary of WuXi, as the sole supplier of Ziihera. Accordingly, there is a risk that supplies of Ziihera may be significantly delayed by, or may become unavailable as a result of, manufacturing, equipment, process, regulatory or business-related issues affecting that company. We may also face additional manufacturing and supply-chain risks due to the regulatory and political structure of the PRC, or as a result of the international relationshiprelations between the PRC and the U.S., including but not limited to potential trade restrictions,sanctions,restrictions, sanctions, other regulatory requirements, or proposed legislation imposed by the U.S. government, which could restrict or even prohibit our ability to work with WuXi. For example, the House of Representatives of the prior U.S. Congress (the 118th U.S. Congress) passed the BIOSECURE Act, which proposed targetingto ban U.S. government contracts, grantsgrants, and loans forfrom entitiesbeing thatused usetowards biotechnology equipment orand services fromproduced or provided by certain named Chinese biotechnology companies, including WuXi, and potentiallywould otherauthorize the U.S. government to name additional Chinese biotechnology companies designatedof in the future.concern. The language of the proposed BIOSECURE Act would, among other things, prohibit U.S. federal agencies from entering into or renewing any contract with any entity that uses biotechnology equipment or services produced or provided by a “biotechnology company of concern.” The version of the bill passed by the prior House of Representatives included a “grandfathering” provision, which provided that the BIOSECURE Act’s prohibitions would not apply to pre-existing contracts and agreements entered into prior to the legislation’s effective date until 2032. The BIOSECURE Actlegislation did not becomepass lawthe U.S. Congress in the2024, 118thhowever, Congress.on ItDecember is18, unclear whether the current Congress (the 119th Congress) will introduce2025, the BIOSECURE Act orwas similarpassed legislationas part of the final Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

Although to date there has been no impact on our ability to obtain supply of Ziihera, there can be no assurance that operations would not be impacted in the future with a negative impact on Ziihera supply.
Modeyso is manufactured by Adare, which is a sole source supplier. If we fail to obtain a sufficient supply of Modeyso in accordance with applicable specifications on a timely basis, our sales of Modeyso, our future maintenance and potential growth of the market for this product, our ability to conduct ongoing and future clinical trials of Modeyso and our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.

There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding the export of our products may create delays in the introduction of our products in international markets or, in some cases, prevent the export of our products to some countries altogether. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the provision of certain products and services to countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions. The U.S. and other countries have imposed and may continue to impose new trade restrictions and export regulations, have levied tariffs and taxes on certain goods, and could continue to significantly increase tariffs on a broad array of goods.goods, Forincluding example, on February 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed executive orders imposing a 25% tariff on certain imports from Mexicopharmaceutical and Canada,biological and a 10% tariff on certain imports from China, which were to take effect on February 4, 2025. A 30-day pause was granted to Mexico and Canada. However, these newly proposed and imposed tariffs have resulted in retaliatory tariffs, and threats thereof, against U.S. goods. The ultimate impact of these potential and actual tariffs on our business and financial condition is unknown. In addition, ongoing changes in U.S. and foreign government trade policies, including potential modifications to existing trade agreements, could introduce additional uncertainty. Trade restrictions and export regulations, or increases in tariffs (including tariffs on imports from Europe) and additional taxes, including any retaliatory measures, can negatively impact end-user demand, increase our supply chain complexity and our manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or restrict our ability to sell products, provide services or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, any or all of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition and, given the nature of our products, relocating the manufacturing supply can be a complex, costly and time-consuming process making it difficult to react quickly to a changing environment.products.
While we are an Irish company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, we derive the majority of our revenues from sales of our products in the U.S. We conduct business globally and our operations, including third-party suppliers, span numerous countries outside the U.S. In particular, we have a manufacturing and development facility in Athlone, Ireland where we manufacture Xywav and Xyrem, a manufacturing and development facility in Kent Science Park, U.K. where we produce Epidiolex/Epidyolex, and a manufacturing plant in Villa Guardia, Italy where we produce defibrotide drug substance. In addition, we rely on our supplier in the PRC for the manufacture of Ziihera.
The ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and other jurisdictions have resulted in multiple rounds of tariffs and anticipated tariffs affecting pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients, including finished drug products, manufacturing equipment, and related supplies. Such tariffs may significantly increase our costs for certain products. The Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, has initiated an investigation to determine whether pharmaceutical ingredients, including finished drug product, manufactured outside the U.S. pose a national security risk and should be subject to additional tariffs. Should current tariffs hold or additional tariffs be imposed specifically targeting pharmaceutical imports, such tariffs will result in additional costs on our business, including costs with respect to APIs and other raw materials upon which our business depends and will generally increase our manufacturing costs. In addition, such tariffs will increase our supply chain complexity and could also potentially disrupt our existing supply chain. Moreover, other governments have imposed and may continue to impose retaliatory tariffs, trade restrictions or trade barriers on our products, which may impose additional costs and complexity on our business. In addition, the dynamic and unpredictable tariff and trade landscape creates substantial uncertainty and significant planning challenges for our operations. Changes in tariff classifications, country-of-origin requirements or customs procedures can occur with limited notice. This uncertainty complicates our long-term investment decisions regarding manufacturing facilities, supply chain optimization, and R&D locations.
While we cannot at this time predict the ultimate impact of such tariffs, we anticipate that our margins could be adversely affected beginning as early as fiscal 2026, depending on the ultimate scope and duration of tariffs imposed. Additionally, it is possible that such tariffs could affect imports of APIs and other raw materials used in our products, or our business may be adversely impacted by retaliatory trade measures taken by other countries, including restricted access to APIs or other raw materials used in our products, further disrupting our supply chain and increasing our costs. Given the nature of our products, relocating the manufacturing supply in response to tariffs and other trade restrictions would be a complex, costly and time-consuming process making it difficult for us to react quickly to a rapidly changing environment. In this regard, it would take a significant amount of time and expense to implement and execute the necessary technology transfer to, and to qualify, new suppliers for our products. If there are delays in qualifying new suppliers or facilities or a new supplier is unable to meet FDA’s or similar international regulatory body’s requirements for approval, there could be a shortage of the affected products for the marketplace or for use in clinical studies, or both, which could negatively impact our anticipated revenues.
Further, the continued threats of new or increased tariffs, sanctions, trade restrictions and trade barriers as well as ongoing changes in U.S. and foreign government trade policies, including potential modifications to existing trade agreements, have had and may continue to have a generally disruptive impact on the global economy and, therefore, negatively impact revenues from sales of our products. Given the volatility and uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of such tariffs and other aspects of U.S. and foreign government trade policies, the ultimate impact on our operations and financial results is uncertain and could be significant. In any event, further trade restrictions and export regulations, or new or increased tariffs, including further retaliatory measures, could increase our supply chain complexity and our manufacturing costs, decrease our margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or restrict our ability to sell our products, provide services or purchase necessary equipment and supplies. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits from our acquisition of Chimerix.
On April 21, 2025, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Chimerix Common Stock. As a result of this, Chimerix became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from successfully combining our and Chimerix’s operations and we plan on devoting significant management attention and resources to integrating our business practices and operations with Chimerix’s so that we can fully realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. In addition, Modeyso, which we acquired in the acquisition, may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than originally anticipated. As a result, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully within the expected timeframe or at all or may take longer to realize or cost more than expected, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Even if we receive regulatory approval of a product, regulatory authorities may impose significant labeling restrictions or requirements, including limitations on the dosing of the product, requirements around the naming or strength of a product, restrictions on indicated uses for which we may market the product, the imposition of a boxed warning or other warnings and precautions, and/or the requirement for a REMS or equivalent obligation imposed in a European or other foreign country to ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks. FDA requires a REMS and a boxed warning for Xywav and Xyrem, and similar restrictions could be imposed on other products in the future. Our receipt of approval for narrower indications than sought, restrictions on marketing through a REMS or equivalent obligation imposed in a European or other foreign country, or significant labeling restrictions or requirements in an approved label such as a boxed warning, could have a negative impact on our ability to recoup our research and developmentR&D costs and to successfully commercialize that product, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Regulatory authorities may also impose post-marketing obligations as part of their approval, which may lead to additional costs and burdens associated with commercialization of the product and may pose a risk to maintaining approval of the product. We are subject to certain post-marketing requirements and commitments in connection with the approval of certain of our products, including Epidiolex/Epidyolex, Defitelio, Vyxeos,Zepzelca, Rylaze, ZepzelcaZiihera, Modeyso, Vyxeos and Ziihera.Defitelio. These post-marketing requirements and commitments include satisfactorily conducting multiple post-marketing trials and safety studies. Failure to comply with these post-marketing requirements could result in withdrawal of our marketing approvals for the applicable product and/or other civil or criminal penalties. If a product is approved under accelerated approval, continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. For example, FDA granted accelerated approval to Zepzelca for relapsed SCLC based on data from a Phase 2 trial, which approval is contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a post-marketing clinical trial. While we and our licensor PharmaMar have reached agreement with FDA regarding a confirmatory clinical development program, our inability to confirm its clinical benefit in the second-line treatment setting for SCLC could result in the withdrawal of approval of Zepzelca, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In addition, FDA granted accelerated approval to Ziihera for previously treated, unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive BTC based on data from a Phase 2 trial. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. While a Phase 3 confirmatory trial is ongoing to evaluate zanidatamab in combination with standard-of-care therapy versus standard-of-care therapy alone in the first-line setting for patients with HER2-positive BTC, our inability to confirm its clinical benefit in the first-line setting for patients with HER2-positive BTC could result in the withdrawal of approval of Ziihera, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. Furthermore, FDA granted accelerated approval to Modeyso for adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation with progressive disease following prior therapy based on data from a Phase 2 trial, which approval is contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a post-marketing clinical trial. While the Phase 3 ACTION confirmatory trial is ongoing to evaluate Modeyso in first-line setting for patients with H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma, our inability to confirm its clinical benefit in the first-line setting for patients with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation could result in the withdrawal of approval of Modeyso, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In any event, if we are unable to comply with our post-marketing obligations imposed as part of the marketing approvals in the U.S., the EU, or other countries, our approval may be varied, suspended or revoked, product supply may be delayed and our sales of our products could be materially adversely affected.
Any new data relating to Epidiolex/Epidyolex, including from adverse event reports and post-marketing studies in the U.S. and Europe, and from other ongoing clinical trials, may result in changes to the product label and/or imposition of a REMS and may adversely affect sales, or result in withdrawal of Epidiolex/Epidyolex from the market. FDA, EMA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may also consider the new data in reviewing Epidiolex/Epidyolex marketing applicationsMAAs for indications beyond its currently approved uses or impose additional post-approval requirements. If any of these actions were to occur, it could result in significant expense and delay or limit our ability to generate sales of Epidiolex/Epidyolex.
In addition to continued investment in our research and developmentR&D pipeline, we intend to grow our business by acquiring or in-licensing, and developing, including with collaboration partners, additional products and product candidates that we believe are highly differentiated and have significant commercial potential. However, we may be unable to identify or consummate suitable acquisition or in-licensing opportunities, and this inability could impair our ability to grow our business. Other companies, many of which may have substantially greater financial, sales and marketing resources, compete with us for these opportunities. Even if appropriate opportunities are available, we may not be able to successfully identify them, or we may not have the financial resources necessary to pursue them.
Even if we are able to successfully identify and acquire, in-license or develop additional products or product candidates, we may not be able to successfully manage the risks associated with integrating any products or product candidates into our portfolio or the risks arising from anticipated and unanticipated problems in connection with an acquisition or in-licensing or from financial difficulties of our collaborators. Further, while we seek to mitigate risks and liabilities of potential acquisitions and in-licensing transactions through, among other things, due diligence, there may be risks and liabilities that such due diligence efforts fail to discover, that are not disclosed to us, or that we inadequately assess. Any failure in identifying and managing these risks, liabilities and uncertainties effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, product and product candidate acquisitions, particularly when the acquisition takes the form of a merger or other business consolidation, such as ourthe acquisitionChimerix ofAcquisition GW havehas required, and any similar future transactions also will require, significant efforts and expenditures, including with respect to transition and integration activities. We may encounter unexpected difficulties, or incur substantial costs, in connection with potential acquisitions and similar transactions, which include:
As a result of these or other factors, products or product candidates we acquire, or obtain licenses to, may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated, may not result in regulatory approvals, and may not perform as expected.
As a result of these or other factors, products or product candidates we acquire, or obtain licenses to, may not produce the revenues, earnings or business synergies that we anticipated, may not result in regulatory approvals, and may not perform as expected. For example, in May 2021, we made a substantial investment in Epidiolex and certain other products and technologies acquired in our acquisition of GW. The total consideration paid by us for the entire issued share capital of GW was $7.2 billion. The success of our acquisition of GW will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition, which benefits may not be realized at the expected levels within the expected timeframe, or at all, or may take longer to realize or cost more than expected, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In this regard, in the third quarter of 2022, we recorded a $133.6 million asset impairment charge as a result of the decision to discontinue the nabiximols program that we acquired as part of our acquisition of GW. In any event, failure to manage effectively our growth through acquisitions or in-licensing transactions could adversely affect our growth prospects, business, results of operations and financial condition.
In June 2021, we received notice from Lupin that it has filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Xywav. The notice from Lupin included a “paragraph IV certification” with respect to ten of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav on the date of our receipt of the notice. A paragraph IV certification is a certification by a generic applicant that patents covering the branded product are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the generic product. In April 2022, we received notice from Lupin that it had filed a paragraph IV certification regarding a newly-issued patent listed in the Orange Book for Xywav. In February 2023, we received notice from Teva that it had filed an ANDA seeking approval to market a generic version of Xywav, which notice included a paragraph IV certification with respect to certain of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav. In July 2025, we received notice from Granules that it has filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Xywav, which notice included a paragraph IV certification with respect to fourteen of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav on the date of the receipt of the notice. In January 2026, we received notices from Tris Pharma that it had filed with FDA a Section 505(b)(2) NDA seeking approval for generic versions of Xyrem and Xywav, which notices included a paragraph IV certification with respect to seven patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xyrem and fifteen patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav, respectively. For additional information on litigation involving these matters, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.10-K.
We have settled patent litigation with each of the ten companies seeking to market a generic version of Epidiolex in the U.S. by granting each of the Epidiolex ANDA Filers a license to manufacture, market, and sell its own generic version of Epidiolex beginning in the very late 2030s, or earlier under certain circumstances, including but not limited to the launch of another generic Epidiolex product or a final decision that all unexpired claims of the Epidiolex patents are not infringed, or are invalid and/or unenforceable. Notwithstanding our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Epidiolex and settlement agreements, additional third parties may also attempt to introduce generic versions of Epidiolex that design around our patents or assert that our patents are invalid or otherwise unenforceable.
Additionally, in November and December 2022, ten companies sent us notices that they had filed ANDAs seeking approval to market a generic version of Epidiolex, which notices each included a paragraph IV certification with respect to certain of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Epidiolex on the date of the receipt of the applicable notice. On January 3, 2023, we filed a patent infringement suit against the ten Epidiolex ANDA filers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In June and July 2023, we received notice from certain of the Epidiolex ANDA Filers that they had each filed a paragraph IV certification regarding a newly-issued patent listed in the Orange Book for Epidiolex. On July 21, 2023, we filed an additional lawsuit against all of the Epidiolex ANDA Filers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that, by filing its ANDA, each Epidiolex ANDA Filer infringed the newly-issued patent related to a method of treatment using Epidiolex. For additional information on litigation involving this matter, see “Epidiolex Patent Litigation” in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
On May 13, 2021, we filed a patent infringement suit against Avadel and several of its corporate affiliates in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The suit alleges that Avadel’s product candidate FT218 will infringe five of our patents related to controlled release formulations of oxybate and the safe and effective distribution of oxybate. In March 2024, the jury upheld the validity of both of our asserted patents and awarded us damages for infringement for past sales of Lumryz in the U.S. For additional information on litigation involving this matter, see “Avadel Litigation” in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

As a result of this lawsuit, we expect that a stay of approval of up to 30 months will be imposed by FDA on Almaject’s ANDA.
We have entered into a settlement agreement with Avadel, which as of February 2026, is a subsidiary of Alkermes, involving, among other matters, our patent infringement suit against Avadel and several of its corporate affiliates in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. For additional information on litigation involving this matter, see “Avadel Litigation” in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In July and August 2024, Zepzelca ANDA filers sent us notices that they had filed ANDAs seeking approval to market a generic version of Zepzelca, which notices each included a paragraph IV certification with respect to our Orange Book listed patent for Zepzelca. In September 2024, we filed patent infringement suits against these ANDA filers. In September 2025, we filed an additional lawsuit against each of the Zepzelca ANDA Filers, alleging that, by filing its ANDA, each party infringed the newly-issued patent related to a method of treatment using Zepzelca. For additional information on litigation involving this matter, see “Zepzelca Patent Litigation” in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our ability, and that of our partners, to successfully commercialize any approved products will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, enforce those patents and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. If we choose to go to court to stop a third party from infringing our patents, our licensed patents or our partners’ patents, that third party has the right to ask the court or an administrative agency to rule that these patents are invalid and/or should not be enforced. For example, we are pursuing patent infringement proceedings in Germany initiated by Chimerix against a supplier in contravention of certain patents acquired in connection with the Chimerix Acquisition. These lawsuits and administrative proceedings are expensive and consume time and other resources, and we may not be successful in these proceedings or in stopping infringement. In addition, the IPR or a post-grant review process under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act permits any person, whether they are accused of infringing the patent at issue or not, to challenge the validity of certain patents through a proceeding before the PTAB of the USPTO.PTAB.
Litigation involving patent matters is frequently settled between the parties, rather than continuing to a court ruling. The FTC has publicly stated that, in its view, certain types of agreements between branded and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the settlement of patent litigation or the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of branded drugs violate the antitrust laws and has commenced investigations and brought actions against some companies that have entered into such agreements. In particular, the FTC has expressed its intention to take aggressive action to challenge settlements that include an alleged transfer of value from the brand company to the generic company (so-called “pay for delay” patent litigation settlements). The U.S. Congress and state legislatures have also identified pharmaceutical patent litigation settlements as potential impediments to generic competition and have introduced, and in states like California passed, legislation to regulate them. Third party payors have also challenged such settlements on the grounds that they increase drug prices. Because there is currently no precise legal standard with respect to the lawfulness of such settlements, many pharmaceutical companies, including us, have faced extensive litigation over whether patent litigation settlements they have entered into are reasonable and lawful. From June 2020 to May 2022, several lawsuits were filed on behalf of purported direct and indirect Xyrem purchasers, alleging that the patent litigation settlement agreements we entered with Hikma and other ANDA filers violate state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. As of October 2025, we have resolved the entirety of the Xyrem Antitrust Litigation. For additional information on these lawsuits, as well as a class settlement agreement with respect thereto, see "Xyrem Antitrust Litigation" in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.10-K. It is possible that additional lawsuits will be filed against us making similar or related allegations. We cannot predict the outcome of these orany potential additional lawsuits; however, if the plaintiffs in the class action complaints were to be successful in their claims, they may be entitled to injunctive relief or we may be required to pay significant monetary damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Litigation, whether filed by us or against us, can be expensive and time consuming to defend and divert management’s attention and resources. Our competitive position could suffer as a result.
Litigation, whether filed by us or against us, can be expensive and time consuming to defend and divert management’s attention and resources. Our competitive position could suffer as a result. On June 22, 2023, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking a declaration that FDA’s approval on May 1, 2023 of the NDA for Avadel's drug Lumryz was unlawful. On September 15, 2023, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On October 20, 2023, Avadel and FDA filed cross motions for summary judgment. Oral argument on these motions was held on May 10, 2024, and on October 30, 2024, the District Court issued an order denying our motion for summary judgment and granting Avadel’s and FDA’s cross-motions for summary judgment. We have appealed the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. We cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of this litigation or the impact of this litigation on our business, including any potential adverse consequences to, among other things, our reputation, relationships with governmental or regulatory authorities, including FDA.

Rare Sleep Disorders
We are the global leader in the development and commercialization of oxybate therapy for patients with rare sleep disorders. Xyrem was approved by FDA in 2002, and is indicated for treating cataplexy and EDS in patients seven years of age or older with narcolepsy. In 2020, we received FDA approval for Xywav for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy. In August 2021, Xywav became the first and only therapy approved by FDA for the treatment of IH in adults. Xywav is an oxybate therapy that contains 92% less sodium than Xyrem. Xywav has become a standard of care for patients with narcolepsy and IH.
Since there is no cure for narcolepsy and long-term disease management is needed, we believe that Xywav represents an important therapeutic option for patients with this sleep disorder. Our commercial efforts are focused on educating patients and physicians abouton the lifelongstrength impactof clinical evidence that supports the use of Xywav for treating narcolepsy and IH. Xywav has demonstrated efficacy for the treatment of cataplexy and EDS in narcolepsy and multiple daytime symptoms such as sleep inertia in IH. Analysis from the Phase 4 DUET trial showed improvements across multiple polysomnography measures in both narcolepsy and IH, suggesting Xywav improves measures of sleep fragmentation in these conditions. In addition, we are also focused on educating patients and physicians on the long-term health impacts of high sodium intake, and how the use of Xywav enables them tohelps address what is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity. We view the continued adoption of Xywav in narcolepsy as a positive indication that physicians and patients appreciate the benefits of a low-sodium oxybate option.
In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in narcolepsy.EDS ODEand extendscataplexy in narcolepsy through July 2027 (which was subsequently extended to January 2028.2028). Nevertheless, Lumryz, a fixed-dose, high-sodium oxybate, was approved by FDA on May 1, 2023, for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy and was launched in the U.S. market by Avadel.Avadel in June 2023. FDA continues to recognize seven years of ODE for Xywav in narcolepsy. In connection with granting ODE, FDA stated that "Xywav is clinically superior to Xyrem by means of greater safety because Xywav provides a greatly reduced chronic sodium burden compared to Xyrem.” FDA's summary also stated that "the differences in the sodium content of the two products at the recommended doses will be clinically meaningful in reducing cardiovascular morbidity in a substantial proportion of patients for whom the drug is indicated." FDA has also recognized that the difference in sodium content between Xywav and Lumryz is likely to be clinically meaningful in all patients with narcolepsy and that Xywav is safer than Lumryz in all such patients. Lumryz has the same sodium content as Xyrem. Our first medicine in rare sleep disorders was Xyrem, which was approved by FDA in 2002, and contains 1640mg of sodium per 9gram dose per night. Xyrem is indicated for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy. Xywav contains 92% less sodium than Xyrem and is the only approved oxybate therapy that does not carry a warning and precaution related to high sodium intake.
On August 12, 2021, FDA approved Xywav for the treatment of IH in adults. Xywav remains the first and only FDA-approved therapy to treat IH. We initiated the U.S. commercial launch of Xywav for the treatment of IH in adults in November 2021. In January 2022, we announced that FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in IH that extends through August 2028. IH is a debilitating neurologic sleep disorder characterized by chronic EDS (the inability to stay awake and alert during the day resulting in the irrepressible need to sleep or unplanned lapses into sleep or drowsiness), severe sleep inertia, and prolonged and non-restorative nighttime sleep. An estimated 37,000 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with IH and are actively seeking healthcare.
We have seen strong adoption of Xywav in narcolepsy since its launch in November 2020, and increasing adoption in IH since its launch in November 2021. ExitingAt 2024,the end of 2025, there were approximately 14,15016,175 patients taking Xywav, including approximately 10,25010,950 patients with narcolepsy and approximately 3,9005,225 patients with IH.
Rare Epilepsies
We acquired Epidiolex (Epidyolex in certain markets outside the U.S.) in May 2021 as part of the GW Acquisition, which expandedadded a durable and long-lived asset in rare epilepsies to our growing neuroscience business with a global, high-growth childhood-onset epilepsy franchise.portfolio. Epidiolex was approved in the U.S. in June 2018 for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, LGS and DS, in patients two years of age and older, and subsequently approved in July 2020 for the treatment of seizures associated with TSC in patients one year of age and older. FDA also approved the expansion of allthe existingother indications, LGS and DS, to patients one year of age and older. TheIn rollingSeptember European2019, launch of Epidyolex is also underway followingthe EC approvalgranted inmarketing Septemberauthorization 2019under the trade name Epidyolex for use as adjunctive therapy of seizures associated with LGS or DS, in conjunction with clobazam, for patients two years of age and older. The clobazam restriction is limited to the EU and Great Britain. Epidyolex is now launched in all five key European markets: United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain and France. Epidyolex was also approved for adjunctive therapy of seizures associated with TSC for patients 2 years of age and older in the EU in April 2021 and Great Britain in August 2021,2021. and is approved or under review for this indication in other markets.

Rare Oncology
Rylaze was approved by FDA in June 2021 under the Real-Time Oncology Review program, and was launched in the U.S. in July 2021 for use as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with ALL or LBL in pediatric and adult patients one month and older who have developed hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase. Rylaze is the only recombinant erwinia asparaginase manufactured product approved in the U.S. that maintains a clinically meaningful level of asparaginase activity throughout the entire course of treatment. We developed Rylaze to address the needs of patients and health care providers for an innovative, high-quality erwinia asparaginase with reliable supply. The initial approved recommended dosage of Rylaze was for an IM administration of 25 mg/m2 every 48 hours. In November 2022, FDA approved an sBLA for a Monday/Wednesday/Friday 25/25/50 mg/m2 IM dosing schedule. In September 2023, the EC granted marketing authorization for JZP458 under the trade name Enrylaze. This product has also been approved in Great Britain, Canada and Switzerland.
We acquired U.S. development and commercialization rights to Zepzelca in early 2020, and launched six months thereafter, with an indication for treatment of patients with SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Our education and promotional efforts are focused on SCLC-treating physicians. We are continuing to raise awareness of Zepzelca across academic and community cancer centers. In collaboration with Roche, we have an ongoing Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial of Zepzelca for use as maintenance therapy in first-line extensive-stage SCLC in combination with Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) following induction therapy with carboplatin, etoposide and Tecentriq. In October 2024, we announced positive top-line results from the trial showing a statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit for Zepzelca and atezolizumab in combination in the first-line maintenance setting. We plan to submit an sNDA in the first half of 2025 to support this combination in the first-line maintenance setting.
We acquired exclusive development and commercialization rights to Ziihera in 2022 through an exclusive licensing and collaboration agreement with a subsidiary of Zymeworks providing development and commercialization rights to zanidatamab across all indications in the U.S., Europe, Japan and all other territories except for those Asia/Pacific territories previously licensed by Zymeworks. The term of the license agreement extends on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the royalty term for such licensed product in such country. We have the right to terminate the amended license agreement at will upon a specified notice period, and either party can terminate the amended license agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or bankruptcy.
Ziihera is a bispecific HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab-hrii with HER2 results in internalization leading to a reduction of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. In the U.S., Ziihera was approvedgranted accelerated approval by FDA in November 2024 and is indicated for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3IHC3+) BTC, as detected by an FDA-approved test. Ziihera was launched in December 2024. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the Phase 3 HERIZON-BTC-302 confirmatory trial. In June 2025, the EC granted conditional marketing authorization for Ziihera for the treatment of adults with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC3+) BTC previously treated with at least one prior line of systemic therapy. In January 2026, Ziihera obtained conditional approval in Canada for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC3+) BTC, as monotherapy.
We completed the Chimerix Acquisition in April 2025 for a total cash consideration of $944.2 million, adding Modeyso, a protease activator of the ClpP that also inhibits DRD2, to our rare oncology portfolio. In August 2025, Modeyso was granted accelerated approval by FDA for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation with progressive disease following prior therapy. Modeyso is the first and only treatment option approved by FDA for this ultra-rare and aggressive brain tumor that mainly affects children and young adults. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the Phase 3 ACTION confirmatory trial. In connection with the approval by FDA of Modeyso in August 2025, we received a rare pediatric disease PRV, which we sold in January 2026 for total cash consideration of $200.0 million of which 50% is attributable to us.
We acquired U.S. development and commercialization rights to Zepzelca in early 2020, and launched six months thereafter, with an indication for treatment of patients with metastatic SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Our education and promotional efforts are focused on SCLC-treating physicians. We are continuing to market Zepzelca across academic and community cancer centers. In October 2024, we announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 IMforte trial showing a statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival and overall survival benefit for Zepzelca and atezolizumab in combination in the first-line maintenance setting. In June 2025, the sNDA submission for the combination of Zepzelca with atezolizumab or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs was granted Priority Review by FDA and subsequently approved in October 2025 as a first-line maintenance treatment for adults with extensive-stage SCLC whose disease has not progressed after first-line induction therapy with atezolizumab, or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs carboplatin and etoposide.
Rylaze was approved by FDA in June 2021 under the RTOR program, and was launched in the U.S. in July 2021, for use as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with ALL, and LBL, in pediatric and adult patients one month and older who have developed hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase.

In September 2023, the EC granted marketing authorization for JZP458 (Rylaze) under the trade name Enrylaze®. Enrylaze was approved in Great Britain in January 2024, and is also approved in Canada, Switzerland and Australia.
Other Rare Disease
In October 2025, we divested Sativex to CNX Therapeutics, who will assume responsibility for Sativex in all countries it is approved. Our existing partnerships will transition to CNX Therapeutics and it will take responsibility for commercialization in those markets previously owned by us. We will continue to manufacture Sativex during the transition period given the complexity of the product and all external growing partnerships will transition to CNX Therapeutics.
Defitelio is the first and only approved treatment for patients with VOD, sVOD, or VOD with renal or pulmonary dysfunction following HSCT by regulatory authorities in the U.S., Europe, Japan and other markets. Utilization of Defitelio is in part driven by evolving treatment practices in HSCT, and we are continuing to educate healthcare professionals on the clinical profile of Defitelio and its role in treating VOD and/or severe VOD following HSCT.
Vyxeos is a treatment for adults with newly-diagnosed t-AML, or AML-MRC. In March 2021, FDA approved a revised label to include a new indication to treat newly-diagnosed t-AML, or AML-MRC, in pediatric patients aged one year and older. We continue to expand into new markets internationally as the product receives approvals and reimbursement in relevant markets. In the U.S., with ongoing trends towards lower-intensity treatments and away from intensive chemotherapy regimens for AML, we have seen increasing competition from other therapeutic options.

Within our oncology R&D program, in October 2022, we announced an exclusive licensing and collaboration agreement with Zymeworks providing us the right to acquire development and commercialization rights to Zymeworks' zanidatamab across all indications in the U.S., Europe, Japan and all other territories except for those Asia/Pacific territories previously licensed by Zymeworks. In December 2022, we exercised the option to continue with the exclusive development and commercialization rights to zanidatamab. Under the terms of the agreement, Zymeworks received an upfront payment of $50.0 million, and following the exercise of our option to continue the collaboration, a second, one-time payment of $325.0 million. Zymeworks is also eligible to receive regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.4 billion, for total potential payments of $1.76 billion. Zymeworks is eligible to receive tiered royalties between 10% and 20% on our net sales. Zanidatamab is a bispecific HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Zanidatamab is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials as a treatment for patients with HER2-expressing cancers. Following positive data from a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating zanidatamab monotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic HER2-amplified BTC, we completed a BLA submission in second-line BTC in March 2024. In May 2024, FDA granted Priority Review of the BLA; we received FDA approval for this BLA in November 2024. EMA has validated our MAA for zanidatamab in second-line BTC; we anticipate a response to our MAA in 2025. In addition, we have an ongoing Phase 3 randomized clinical trial evaluating zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy plus or minus tislelizumab as a first-line treatment for HER2-expressing GEA, an ongoing Phase 2 trial examining zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy in first-line patients with HER2-expressing metastatic GEA and an ongoing Phase 3 trial examining zanidatamab in first-line patients with HER2-positive BTC. In July 2024, we announced the initiation of the Phase 3 EmpowHER-BC-303 to evaluate zanidatamab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose disease has progressed on previous T-DXd treatment. There are also multiple ongoing clinical trials exploring zanidatamab in breast cancer and other HER2-expressing tumor types.
Following positive data from a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating zanidatamab monotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic HER2-amplified BTC, we completed a BLA submission in second-line BTC in March 2024. In May 2024, FDA granted priority review of the BLA; we received FDA accelerated approval for this BLA in November 2024. In April 2025, we announced that CHMP adopted a positive opinion recommending the conditional marketing authorization of zanidatamab in second-line BTC. In June 2025, the EC granted conditional marketing authorization for Ziihera for the treatment of adults with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC3+) BTC previously treated with at least one prior line of systemic therapy. In January 2026, Ziihera obtained conditional approval in Canada for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC3+) BTC, as monotherapy.
In November 2025, we announced positive top-line results from the pivotal Phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 trial of zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy, with or without tislelizumab, as first-line treatment for adults with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic GEA. In January 2026, we presented late-breaking results from the trial at ASCO GI. The investigational arm containing zanidatamab plus tislelizumab and chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival benefit of more than two years of median overall survival. The greater than seven-month improvement in median overall survival represents a 28% reduction in the risk of death versus the control arm. Both investigational arms led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful median progression-free survival of more than one year, representing a greater than four-month improvement and 35% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death versus the control arm. FDA granted BTD for zanidatamab's development for patients with HER2+ unresectable locally advanced or metastatic GEA Zanidatamab is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials as a treatment for patients with HER2-expressing cancers: a Phase 2 DiscovHER-Pan-206 trial evaluating zanidatamab monotherapy in previously-treated patients with various HER2-positive (IHC3+) cancers, a Phase 2 EmpowHER-BC-208 trial to evaluate zanidatamab in patients with HER2-positive neoadjuvant and adjuvant breast cancer, a Phase 3 trial EmpowHER-BC-303 to evaluate zanidatamab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose disease has progressed on previous T-DXd treatment, and a Phase 3 confirmatory trial examining zanidatamab in first-line patients with HER2-positive BTC.
Our development plan for Zepzelca continues to progress. We are collaborating with Roche on a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Zepzelca in combination with Tecentriq for use as maintenance therapy in first-line extensive-stage SCLC. In October 2024, we announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 IMforte trial showing a statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival and overall survival benefit for Zepzelca and atezolizumab in combination in the first-line maintenance setting. WeIn planApril to2025, submitwe announced the submission of an sNDA in the first half of 2025 to support this combination in the first-line maintenance setting. In DecemberJune 2021,2025, FDA granted priority review of the sNDA and we subsequently received FDA approval in October 2025 for the combination as a first-line maintenance treatment of adult patients with extensive-stage SCLC whose disease has not progressed after first-line induction therapy with atezolizumab or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs, carboplatin and etoposide. In addition, our licensor PharmaMar initiatedis conducting a confirmatory trial in second-line SCLC. This ongoing three-arm trial is comparing Zepzelca as either monotherapy or in combination with irinotecan to investigator's choice of irinotecan or topotecan. Data from either the first-line trial of Zepzelca in combination with Tecentriq or the PharmaMar trial could serve to confirm clinical benefit of Zepzelca and secure full approval in the U.S.
InResults addition,from we have an ongoingthe Phase 4 observational studytrial to collect real world safety and outcome data in adult Zepzelca monotherapy patients with SCLC who progress on or after prior platinum-containing chemotherapy.

The safety and tolerability profile observed in this Phase 4 study was consistent with prior findings, with no new safety signals reported.
In April 2025, we completed the Chimerix Acquisition for $944.2 million in cash, and Chimerix is now our wholly owned subsidiary. The lead clinical asset acquired from Chimerix is Modeyso, a novel first-in-class small molecule that is a protease activator of the ClpP that also inhibits DRD2. In August 2025, Modeyso was granted accelerated approval by FDA for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation with progressive disease following prior therapy. Modeyso is the first and only treatment option approved by FDA for this ultra-rare and aggressive brain tumor that mainly affects children and young adults. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the Phase 3 ACTION confirmatory trial. The ongoing Phase 3 ACTION trial is evaluating Modeyso in newly diagnosed, non-recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma patients following radiation treatment, potentially extending this treatment option into the front-line setting.
In June 2022, we announced FDA had cleared our Investigational New Drug applicationIND for JZP815 and, in October 2022, we enrolled the first patient in a Phase 1 trial. JZP815 is an investigational stage pan-RAF kinase inhibitor that targets specific components of the mitogen-activated protein kinaseMAPK pathway that, when activated by oncogenic mutations, can be a frequent driver of human cancer.
In April 2022, we announced that we had entered into a licensing and collaboration agreement with Werewolf to acquire exclusiveexclusive, globalworldwide development and commercialization rights to Werewolf's investigational WTX-613, now referred to as JZP898. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $15.0 million to Werewolf, and Werewolf is eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.26 billion. If approved, Werewolf is eligible to receive a tiered, mid-single-digit percentage royalty on net sales of JZP898. This transaction underscores our commitment to enhancing our pipeline to deliver novel oncology therapies to patients, and also provides us with an opportunity to expand into immuno-oncology. JZP898 is a differentiated, conditionally-activated IFNα INDUKINE™ molecule. WeIn initiatedNovember 2023, we enrolled our first patient in a Phase 1 clinical trial of JZP898 in late 2023.JZP898.
Our neuroscience R&D efforts include an ongoing Phase 3 trial of Epidyolex for LGS, DS and TSC in Japan. In August 2024, we announced top-line results from the trial. The trial did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint of a pre-specified percentage change in indication-associated seizure frequency during the treatment period (up to 16 weeks) compared to baseline in Japanese pediatric patients; however, numeric improvements were observed in the primary and several secondary endpoints. No new safety signals were observed in the trial. We are continuing to collect data in Japanese patients and plan to engage with regulatory authorities in Japan regarding a potential new drug application.
In December 2021, we initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial for suvecaltamide (JZP385), for ET. Additionally, in November 2022, we initiated a Phase 2 trial of suvecaltamide in patients with Parkinson's disease tremor. In June 2024, we announced the ET trial did not achieve statistical significance on the primary and key secondary endpoint for the 30 mg dose. In January 2025, we announced that consistent with the results from the ET trial, results from the Parkinson's disease tremor trial did not show statistical significance on the primary and key secondary endpoint. Based on these results, we will not continue the ET or PDT development program. We are exploring options for the suvecaltamide program. We are also pursuing early-stage activities related to the development of JZP324, an extended-release low sodium, oxybate formulation that we believe could provide a clinically meaningful option for narcolepsy patients.
In May 2022, we announced that we had entered into a licensing agreement with Sumitomo to acquire exclusive development and commercialization rights in the U.S., Europe and other territories for JZP441,JZP441. alsoJZP441 known as DSP-0187,is a potent, highly selective oral orexin-2 receptor agonist with potential application for the treatment of narcolepsy, IH and other sleep disorders. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $50.0 million to Sumitomo, and Sumitomo is eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.09 billion. If approved, Sumitomo is eligible to receive a tiered, low double-digit royalty on our net sales of JZP441. In November 2023, we announced that we achieved initial proof-of-concept in our Phase 1 clinical trial program in healthy volunteers as demonstrated by the MaintenanceMWT. ofIn Wakefulness Test (MWT). At that time,2025, we also noted the program was being paused as we analyzed safety findings related to visual disturbances and cardiovascular effects; no liver toxicity signals were observed.

Our industry has been, and is expected to continue to be, subject to healthcare cost containment and drug pricing scrutiny by regulatory agencies in the U.S. and internationally. If new healthcare policies or reforms intended to curb healthcare costs are adopted or if we experience negative publicity with respect to pricing of our products or the pricing of pharmaceutical drugs generally, the prices that we charge for our products may be affected, our commercial opportunity may be limited and/or our revenues from sales of our products may be negatively impacted. For example, the IRA, among other things, requires the HHS Secretary to negotiate, with respect to Medicare units and subject to a specified cap, the price of a set number of certain high Medicare spend drugs and biologicals per year starting in 2026 and penalizes manufacturers of certain Medicare Parts B and D drugs for price increases above inflation. The IRA also made several changes to the Medicare Part D benefit, including a limit on annual out-of-pocket costs and a change in manufacturer liability under the program, that could negatively affect our business and financial condition. In addition, under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, rebates owed by manufacturers are no longer subject to a cap on the rebate amount, which could adversely affect our rebate liability. Moreover,see in full comparisonon May 12, 2025,theWhitecurrentHouseadministrationissued an Executive Order directing federal agenciescontinues to pursue MFN pricing for certain prescription drugs, under which U.S. prices would be indexed to the lowest prices available in select OECDcountriescountries.andAsonpartSeptemberof30,this2025,policy initiative, thecurrentadministrationannounced the first of several agreements with major pharmaceutical companies that requires drug manufacturers to offer, through a direct-to-consumer platform, U.S. patients and Medicaid programs prescription drug MFN pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues, in exchange for tariff relief. The White Houseiscurrently seeking voluntary pricing concessions from certain manufacturers, with the potential for administrative action to follow if companies do not engage constructively, creating uncertainty around future pricing and reimbursement that could negatively impact our U.S. revenues and overall business performance, and also is in the process ofimplementing or considering various Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation models that would rely on MFN reference pricing. We are also subject to increasing pricing pressure and restrictions on reimbursement imposed by payors. If we fail to obtain and maintain adequate formulary positions and institutional access for our current products and future approved products, we will not be able to achieve a return on our investment and our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects would be materially adversely affected.

In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in EDS and cataplexy in narcolepsy through July 20272027. (Subsequently, FDA granted pediatric exclusivity, which wasextends subsequentlythe extendedperiod of orphan exclusivity to January 2028). Nevertheless, Lumryz, a fixed-dose, high-sodium oxybate, was approved by FDA on May 1, 2023, for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy and was launched in the U.S. market by Avadel in June 2023.2028. FDA continues to recognize seven years of ODE for Xywav in narcolepsy. In connection with granting ODE, FDA stated that "Xywav is clinically superior to Xyrem by means of greater safety because Xywav provides a greatly reduced chronic sodium burden compared to Xyrem.” FDA's summary also stated that "the differences in the sodium content of the two products at the recommended doses will be clinically meaningful in reducing cardiovascular morbidity in a substantial proportion of patients for whom the drug is indicated." FDA has also recognized that the difference in sodium content between Xywav and LumryzLumryz, which is a high-sodium oxybate launched in the U.S. market in June 2023, is likely to be clinically meaningful in all patients with narcolepsy and that Xywav is safer than Lumryz in all such patients. Lumryz has the same sodium content as Xyrem.
WeSince have seen strong adoption of Xywav in narcolepsy since itsXywav's launch in November 2020, HCPs and increasingpatients adoptioncontinue to drive demand for safer, low-sodium Xywav, and we have seen strong new patient growth in IH since its launch in November 2021. Exiting the firstsecond quarter of 2026, there were approximately 16,60017,125 active patients taking Xywav, including approximately 11,07511,275 patients with narcolepsy and approximately 5,5255,850 patients with IH.
We acquired U.S. development and commercialization rights to Zepzelca in early 2020, and launched with an indication for treatment of patients with metastatic SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Zepzelca was rapidly adopted for the treatment of metastatic second-line SCLC. While we continue to market Zepzelca across academic and community centers, Zepzelca faces competition in the second-line setting from new agents.
Given SCLC is an aggressive cancer and patients rapidly progress after induction chemotherapy, we conducted the Phase 3 IMforte trial to evaluate Zepzelca and atezolizumab in combination in the first-line maintenance setting.
We acquired U.S. development and commercialization rights to Zepzelca in early 2020, and launched with an indication for treatment of patients with metastatic SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Our education and promotional efforts are focused on SCLC-treating physicians. We are continuing to market Zepzelca across academic and community cancer centers. In October 2024, we announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 IMforte trial showing a statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival and overall survival benefitbenefit. forIn October 2025, FDA approved Zepzelca and atezolizumab in combination in the first-line maintenance setting. In June 2025, the sNDA submission for the combination of Zepzelca with atezolizumab or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs was granted priority review by FDA and subsequently approved in October 2025 as a first-line maintenance treatment for adults with extensive-stage SCLC whose disease has not progressed after first-line induction therapy with atezolizumab, or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs, carboplatin and etoposide. Our promotional efforts are wholly focused on educating SCLC-treating physicians on the first-line maintenance setting as utilization is expected to shift from second-line use to the first-line.
Based on the results from the LAGOON trial of Zepzelca in second-line metastatic SCLC, which were reported in June 2026, and in alignment with FDA, in the third quarter of 2026, we will submit for FDA's review and subsequent action a labeling supplement to remove the second-line indication. The first-line maintenance indication will not be affected.
Rylaze was approved by FDA in June 2021, and was launched in the U.S. in July 2021, for use as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with ALL and LBL, in pediatric and adult patients one month and older who have developed hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase. Rylaze is the only recombinant erwinia asparaginase manufactured product approved in the U.S. that maintains a clinically meaningful level of asparaginase activity throughout the entire course of treatment. We developed Rylaze to address the needs of patients and health care providers for an innovative, high-quality erwinia asparaginase with reliable supply. The initial approved recommended dosage of Rylaze was for an IM administration of 25 mg/m2 every 48 hours. In November 2022, FDA approved an sBLA, for a Monday/Wednesday/Friday 25/25/50 mg/m2 IM dosing schedule. In September 2023, the EC granted marketing authorization for JZP458 (Rylaze) under the trade name Enrylaze®. Enrylaze may be given by both IV and IM and is dosed on either alternate days (every 48 hours) or via a Monday/Wednesday/Friday dosing schedule. Enrylaze was approved in U.K. in January 2024 (as of January 1, 2025, this approval extends to Northern Ireland), and is also approved in Canada, Switzerland and Australia.

We are increasingly leveraging our internal R&D function, and we have entered into collaborations with third parties for the R&D of innovative early-stage product candidates and have supported additional investigator-sponsored trials that are anticipated to generate additionalfurther data related to our products. We also seek out investment opportunities in support of the development of early- and mid-stage technologies in areas where we have deep expertise with a focus on validated targets and mechanisms. We have a number of licensing and collaboration agreements with third parties, including biotechnology companies, academic institutions and research-based companies and institutions, related to preclinical and clinical R&D activities.
Following positive data from a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating zanidatamab monotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic HER2-amplified BTC, we completed a BLA submission in second-line BTC in March 2024. In May 2024, FDA granted priority review of the BLA; and we subsequently received FDA accelerated approval for this BLA in November 2024.
In November 2025, we announced positive top-line results from the pivotal Phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 trial of zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy, with or without tislelizumab, as first-line treatment for adults with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic GEA. In January 2026, we presented late-breaking results from the trial at ASCO GI. The investigational arm containing zanidatamab plus tislelizumab and chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival benefit of more than two years of median overall survival. The greater than seven-month improvement in median overall survival represents a 28% reduction in the risk of death versus the control arm. Both investigational arms led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful median progression-free survival of more than one year, representing a greater than four-month improvement and 35% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death versus the control arm. The results from the trial were published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Our sBLA based on these results is currently under Priority Review with FDA and has a PDUFA date of August 25, 2026.
Zanidatamab is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials as a treatment for patients with HER2-expressing cancers: a Phase 2 DiscovHER-Pan-206 trial evaluating zanidatamab monotherapy in previously-treated patients with various HER2-positive (IHC3+) cancers, a Phase 2 EmpowHER-BC-208 trial to evaluate zanidatamab in patients with HER2-positive neoadjuvant and adjuvant breast cancer, a Phase 3 trial EmpowHER-BC-303 to evaluate zanidatamab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose disease has progressed on previous T-DXd treatment, and a Phase 3 confirmatory trial examining zanidatamab in first-line patients with HER2-positive BTC. FDA recently granted BTD for the treatment of zanidatamab in adults with previously treated, locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2-positive CRC.

In June 2025, FDA granted priority review of the sNDA and we subsequently received FDA approval in October 2025 for the combination as a first-line maintenance treatment of adult patients with extensive-stage SCLC whose disease has not progressed after first-line induction therapy with atezolizumab or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs, carboplatin and etoposide. In addition, our licensor PharmaMar is conducting a confirmatory trial in second-line SCLC. This ongoing three-arm trial is comparing Zepzelca as either monotherapy or in combination with irinotecan to investigator's choice of irinotecan or topotecan.
In addition, our partner PharmaMar, conducted the Phase 3 LAGOON confirmatory trial evaluating Zepzelca in patients with second-line metastatic SCLC. In June 2026, we announced top-line results from the LAGOON trial, which did not meet its primary OS endpoint evaluating Zepzelca as monotherapy or in combination with irinotecan compared with investigators' choice of topotecan or irinotecan. No new safety signals were identified with Zepzelca monotherapy or in combination with irinotecan. Based on the results from the LAGOON trial of Zepzelca in second-line metastatic SCLC, which were reported in June 2026, and in alignment with FDA, in the third quarter of 2026, we will submit for FDA's review and subsequent action a labeling supplement to remove the second-line indication. The first-line maintenance indication will not be affected.
In April 2022, we announced that we had entered into a licensing and collaboration agreement with Werewolf to acquire exclusive, worldwide development and commercialization rights to Werewolf's investigational WTX-613, now referred to as JZP898. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $15.0 million to Werewolf, and Werewolf is eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.26 billion. If approved, Werewolf is eligible to receive a tiered, mid-single-digit percentage royalty on net sales of JZP898. This provides us with an opportunity to expand into immuno-oncology. JZP898 isJZP898, a differentiated, conditionally-activated IFNα INDUKINE™ molecule. In November 2023, we enrolled our first patient in a Phase 1 trial of JZP898 and the trial has progressed to cohorts in combination with pembrolizumab in renal-cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma and melanoma. In May 2026, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Werewolf, under which we acquired all remaining rights and eliminated all remaining obligations to JZP898 for an upfront consideration of $21.0 million. Werewolf is eligible to receive a contingent milestone payment of $2.0 million upon consent to the partial assignment of a license agreement relating to the JZP898 program.
In June 2026, we announced a preclinical research collaboration, option and license agreement to discover and develop next-generation T-cell engaging multispecific antibodies with AbCellera. The collaboration will leverage AbCellera's antibody discovery engine to deliver optimized development candidates for multiple gastrointestinal cancers and other solid tumors. Under the terms of the agreement, AbCellera will perform discovery and early-stage research activities for two initial programs with a commitment to start a third discovery program within 12 months. AbCellera received $56.0 million in total upfront payments for the first two research programs with an additional $28.0 million due upon initiation of the third program. Should we exercise our option for development, AbCellera is eligible to receive up to $792.0 million per program in option fees and development, regulatory, and commercial sales milestone payments along with tiered royalties on net sales ranging from mid-single digits to low double-digits. In addition, we and AbCellera may mutually agree to initiate up to two additional programs, and to have AbCellera conduct certain activities for investigational new drug-enabling studies and manufacture clinical supply for any program under the collaboration.
In May 2022, we announced that we had entered into a licensing agreement with Sumitomo to acquire exclusive development and commercialization rights in the U.S., Europe and other territories for JZP441. JZP441 is a potent, highly selective oral orexin 2 receptor agonist with potential application for the treatment of narcolepsy, IH and other sleep disorders. In November 2023, we announced that we achieved initial proof-of-concept in our Phase 1 clinical trial program in healthy volunteers as demonstrated by the MWT. In 2025, we initiated a small Phase 1b trial of JZP441 in narcolepsy Type 1 patients. Based on our continued assessment of the molecule, we made the decision in February 2026 to stop the development of JZP441 and end our partnership with Sumitomo.
InWithin our neuroscience R&D program, in August 2025, we announced that we entered a global license agreement with Saniona to obtain exclusive worldwide rights to develop SAN2355, now referred to as JZP053, for epilepsy and other potential indications. JZP053 is a preclinical, selective small molecule activator of Kv7.2/Kv7.3 potassium channels, a mechanism validated for seizure suppression. Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment to Saniona of $42.5 million. Saniona is eligible to receive up to $192.5 million in development and regulatory milestones, up to $800$800.0 million in commercial milestone payments and tiered royalties ranging from mid-single digits to low-double digits on net sales of commercial products resulting from the development of JZP053. This transaction further expands our early-stage neuroscience pipeline building on our existing expertise in the treatment of epilepsy.
Further expanding on our early-stage epilepsy development program, we are broadening our Epidiolex (cannabidiol oral solution) clinical development. In November 2025, we initiated a Phase 1b trial evaluating Epidiolexcannabidiol oral solution as an adjunctive treatment in reducing the frequency of focal seizures compared to the baseline as well as the effect of Epidiolexit on health outcome endpoints in early line and refractory participants with focal-onset seizures. In August 2026, we announced a Phase 3b/4 trial to evaluate effectiveness of gradual titration regimen to optimize cannabidiol oral solution as an add-on therapy in adults with LGS. We also announced a Phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cannabidiol oral solution in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy to reach new patient populations with refractory epilepsy.
Mid-2026, we submitted an NDA to FDA for a capsule formulation of cannabidiol to broaden utilization of cannabidiol in currently approved indications and increase flexibility for patients. We also announced a Phase 2/3 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cannabidiol capsule formulation in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
InWhile thewe firsthave quartercontinued to diversify our revenues and commercial portfolio of 2026,medicines, including leading therapies addressing rare epilepsies, cancers and sleep disorders, our business continues to meaningfully depend on Xywav revenues meaningfully contributed to our business.revenues. Our current 2026 operating plan assumes that Xywav, with 92% lower sodium compared to high-sodium oxybates (depending on the dose), a dosing titration option and an absence of a sodium warning, will remain the #1 branded oxybate treatment for narcolepsy; the position it held based on revenue in the firstsecond quarter of 2026.2026, and the only FDA-approved therapy for IH. In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in narcolepsy through July 21, 20272027, (which was subsequently extended to January 21, 20282028, because FDA granted pediatric exclusivity), stating that Xywav is clinically superior to Xyrem by means of greater safety due to reduced chronic sodium burden. Additionally, in August 2021, FDA recognized ODE for Xywav in IH through August 12, 2028. While we expect that our business will continue to meaningfully depend on oxybateXywav revenues, there is no guarantee that oxybateXywav revenues will remain at current levels.
Our ability to successfully commercialize Xywav depends on, among other things, our ability to maintain adequate payor coverage and reimbursement for Xywav and acceptance of Xywav by physicians and patients, including of Xywav for the treatment of IH in adults. In an effort to support strong adoption of Xywav and patient success, we are focused on facilitating payor coverage for Xywav through education of its low-sodium and providing robust patient copay and savings programs.
Xywav and Xyrem face competition from branded products, such as Alkermes’ Lumryz (acquired through its acquisition of Avadel), a branded product for treatment of cataplexyLumryz, and/or EDSalternative inproducts that treats narcolepsy, whichincluding wasorexin launched2 inreceptor the U.S. market in June 2023.agonists. In addition, since January 2023, our oxybate products have faced competition from an AG versionand generic versions of high-sodium oxybate pursuant to a settlement agreement we entered into with an ANDA filer and, from July 2023, an additional AG version of high-sodium oxybate from a volume-limited ANDA filer.oxybate. Specifically, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hikma launched its AG version of sodium oxybate in January 20232023, and Amneal launched its AG version of sodium oxybate in July 2023. In September 2023, Hikma elected to continue to sell the Hikma AG product, with royalties to be paid to us, for an additional four years beginning in January 2024.
Pursuant to amendments to our AG agreement with Hikma, effective January 1, 2026, we extended the period during which Hikma is permitted to sell the Hikma AG product until December 31, 2029. Either we or Hikma may provide notice of intent to terminate the amended agreement as early as October 1, 2026, in accordance with notice provisions in the agreement. Under these amendments, we continue to have the right to a meaningful royalty from Hikma on net sales of the Hikma AG product throughout the extended Hikma AG period, which royalty rate was fixed through the end of 2025 and then subject to specified reductions as set forth in our agreement with Hikma.reductions. We are also paid for supply of the Hikma AG product and are reimbursed by Hikma for a portion of the services costs associated with the operation of the Xywav and Xyrem REMS, and distribution of the Hikma AG product. Hikma also maintains a license to launch its own generic sodium oxybate product, but, if it elects to launch its own generic product, Hikma will no longer have the right to sell the Hikma AG product. The Hikma AG product is expected to continue to negatively impact Xyrem and Xywav sales for patients with narcolepsy.
In our settlements with Amneal, Lupin, and Par, we granted each party the right to sell a limited volume of an AG product in the U.S. beginning on July 1, 20232023, and ending on December 31, 2025, with royalties to be paid to us. Amneal launched its AG version of high-sodium oxybate in July 2023. Amneal had rights to sell a low-single-digit percentage of historical Xyrem sales over each 6-month sales period, which terminated at the end of 2025. Lupin and Par never elected to launch an AG product. AG products are distributed through the same REMS as Xywav and Xyrem. We also granted each of Amneal, Lupin and Par a license to launch its own generic sodium oxybate product under its ANDA on or after December 31, 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances, including the circumstance where Hikma elects to launch its own generic product. In September 2025, FDA approved Amneal's generic high-sodium oxybate product. In November 2025, FDA approved Ascent’s generic high-sodium oxybate product. In March 2026, Amneal and Ascent began dispensing their generic high-sodium oxybate products through the generic sodium oxybate REMS. Any other company commercializing a generic version of high-sodium oxybate would need to join an existing REMS operated by another company.
Generic competition can decrease the net prices at which branded products, such as Xywav and Xyrem are sold, as can competition from other branded products. In addition, we have increasingly experienced pressure from third party payors to agree to discounts, rebates or restrictive pricing terms, and we cannot guarantee we will be able to agree to commercially reasonable terms with PBMs, or similar organizations and other third party payors, or that we will be able to ensure patient access and acceptance on formularies. Entering into agreements with PBMs or similar organizations and payors to ensure patient access has and may continue to result in decreased net prices for some of our products. Moreover, generic or AG high-sodium oxybate products or branded high-sodium oxybate entrants in narcolepsy, such as Alkermes’ Lumryz, have had and may continue to have the effect of changing payor or formulary coverage of Xywav or Xyrem in favor of other products, and may indirectly adversely affect sales of Xywav and Xyrem.
In any event, we expect that the approval and launch of AG products or other generic versions of Xyrem or Xywav and the approval and launch of any other sodium oxybate product, such as Alkermes’ Lumryz, or alternative product that treats narcolepsy, such as Axsome’s reboxetine or orexin 2 receptor agonists being developed by Takeda, Merck & Co., Inc., Eisai Co., Ltd., CentessaEli PharmaceuticalsLilly plcand Company and Alkermes, will continue to have a negative impact on, and could have a material adverse effect on, our sales of Xywav and Xyrem and on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Our financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects are also dependent on our ability to maintain or increase sales of Epidiolex/Epidyolex in the U.S. and Europe, which is subject to many risks and there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to successfully commercialize Epidiolex/Epidyolex for its approved indications. The commercial success of Epidiolex/Epidyolex depends on the extent to which patients and physicians continue to accept and adopt Epidiolex/Epidyolex as a treatment for seizures associated with LGS, DS and TSC, and we do not know whether our or others’ estimates in this regard will be accurate.TSC. Physicians may not prescribe Epidiolex/Epidyolex and patients may be unwilling to use Epidiolex/Epidyolex if coverage is not provided or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of the cost. Additionally, any negative development for Epidiolex/Epidyolex in the market, in clinical development for additional indications, or in regulatory processes in other jurisdictions, may adversely impact the commercial results and potential of Epidiolex/Epidyolex. Moreover, we expect that Epidiolex will face competition from generic products in the future. We have settled patent litigation with each of the ten companies seeking to market a generic version of Epidiolex in the U.S. by granting each of the Epidiolex ANDA Filers a license to manufacture, market, and sell its own generic version of Epidiolex beginning in the very late 2030s, or earlier under certain circumstances, including but not limited to the launch of another generic Epidiolex product or a final decision that all unexpired claims of the Epidiolex patents are not infringed, or are invalid and/or unenforceable. In addition, there are non-FDA approved CBD preparations being made available from companies through the state-enabled medical marijuana industry, which might attempt to compete with Epidiolex. Thus,Epidiolex may also face branded competition in the future with potential therapy launches targeting broad developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, including Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc.'s relutrigine, H. Lundbeck A/S' bexicaserin and Bright Minds Biosciences Inc.'s BMB-101. However, the potential competitive impact on Epidiolex remains uncertain. Overall, significant uncertainty remains regarding the commercial potential of Epidiolex/Epidyolex.
In addition to Xywav, Xyrem and Epidiolex/Epidyolex, our long-term growth strategy relies on successfully commercializing and advancing a portfolio of oncology products, including Ziihera, Modeyso, Zepzelca, Rylaze, Vyxeos and Defitelio. Our success is contingent upon mitigating significant risks related to our oncology portfolio, including our ability to navigate significant and increasing market competition, such as the entry of novel therapeutic products, including for SCLC and our ability to successfully complete confirmatory clinical trials and retain regulatory approvals. Certain of our oncology products rely on accelerated regulatory approval pathways. Our ability to maintain these marketing authorizations is strictly dependent on the timely and successful completion of post-marketing confirmatory clinical trials. FDA and other global regulatory bodies have recently demonstrated increased scrutiny over accelerated approvals. Any delays in trial enrollment, failure to meet primary clinical endpoints, or regulatory determinations that a product's clinical benefit does not justify its risks could lead to the restriction or withdrawal of our products from the market. Additionally, effectively commercializing Ziihera, Modeyso, Zepzelca, Rylaze, Vyxeos and Defitelio requires securing and maintaining favorable formulary status, overcoming increasing pricing and reimbursement pressures from third-party payors, and managing complex global manufacturing and supply chains. An inability to overcome these competitive, commercial, and regulatory hurdles, or to maximize the potential of these products through successful R&D activities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
In addition to Xywav, Xyrem and Epidiolex/Epidyolex, we are commercializing a portfolio of oncology products, including Ziihera, Modeyso, Zepzelca, Rylaze, Vyxeos and Defitelio. An inability to effectively commercialize Ziihera, Modeyso, Zepzelca, Rylaze, Vyxeos and Defitelio and to maximize their potential where possible through successful R&D activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
In addition to continued investment in our R&D pipeline, we intend to continue to grow our business by acquiring or in-licensing, and developing, including with collaboration partners, additional rare-disease products and product candidates that we believe are highly differentiated and have significant commercial potential. Failure to identify and acquire, in-license or develop additional products or product candidates, successfully manage the risks associated with integrating any products or product candidates into our portfolio or the risks arising from anticipated and unanticipated problems in connection with an acquisition or in-licensing, such as the recent Chimerix Acquisition, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our industry has been, and is expected to continue to be, subject to healthcare cost containment and drug pricing scrutiny by regulatory agencies in the U.S. and internationally. If new healthcare policies or reforms intended to curb healthcare costs are adopted or if we experience negative publicity with respect to pricing of our products or the pricing of pharmaceutical drugs generally, the prices that we charge for our products may be affected, our commercial opportunity may be limited and/or our revenues from sales of our products may be negatively impacted. For example, the IRA, among other things, requires the HHS Secretary to negotiate, with respect to Medicare units and subject to a specified cap, the price of a set number of certain high Medicare spend drugs and biologicals per year starting in 2026 and penalizes manufacturers of certain Medicare Parts B and D drugs for price increases above inflation. The IRA also made several changes to the Medicare Part D benefit, including a limit on annual out-of-pocket costs and a change in manufacturer liability under the program, that could negatively affect our business and financial condition. In addition, under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, rebates owed by manufacturers are no longer subject to a cap on the rebate amount, which could adversely affect our rebate liability. Moreover, on May 12, 2025, the Whitecurrent Houseadministration issued an Executive Order directing federal agenciescontinues to pursue MFN pricing for certain prescription drugs, under which U.S. prices would be indexed to the lowest prices available in select OECD countriescountries. andAs onpart Septemberof 30,this 2025,policy initiative, the current administration announced the first of several agreements with major pharmaceutical companies that requires drug manufacturers to offer, through a direct-to-consumer platform, U.S. patients and Medicaid programs prescription drug MFN pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues, in exchange for tariff relief. The White House is currently seeking voluntary pricing concessions from certain manufacturers, with the potential for administrative action to follow if companies do not engage constructively, creating uncertainty around future pricing and reimbursement that could negatively impact our U.S. revenues and overall business performance, and also is in the process of implementing or considering various Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation models that would rely on MFN reference pricing. We are also subject to increasing pricing pressure and restrictions on reimbursement imposed by payors. If we fail to obtain and maintain adequate formulary positions and institutional access for our current products and future approved products, we will not be able to achieve a return on our investment and our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Xywav product sales increased in the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to the same periodperiods in 2025, primarily due to increasedvolume sales volumesgrowth of 12% and,in toboth aperiods, lesser extent,and a higher selling price.price, offset by higher gross to net deductions. We continue to see Xywav adoption in patients with narcolepsy driven by continued demand, supported by educational initiatives around efficacy and the benefit of lowering sodium intake. In addition, Xywav product sales were positively impacted by adoption in IH. Xywav is the only oxybate therapy approved to treat IH and we see continued growth of new prescribers. Exiting the quarter, there were 11,07511,275 patients taking Xywav for narcolepsy and 5,5255,850 taking Xywav for IH, an increase of approximately 7%6% and 31%,26%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025.

For 2026, weWe expect that our R&D expenses will increase compared to 2025, primarily driven by an increase in clinical studies and outside service costs relating to zanidatamab, for both ongoing and new studies, dordaviprone, due to the inclusion of a full year’s expenses, and preclinical and early clinical programs.
Intangible asset amortization increased in the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared with the same periodperiods in 2025, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation on our sterling and euro denominated assets.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
Acquired IPR&D expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, includes the upfront payments made in connection with our collaboration and license agreement with AbCellera of $56.0 million and asset purchase agreement with Werewolf of $21.0 million. Acquired IPR&D expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, represents the value allocated to Modeyso in the Chimerix Acquisition.
Interest expense, net decreased by $13.8$10.3 million and $24.1 million in the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to the same periodperiods in 2025, primarily due to lower interest expense on the Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans.Loans and higher interest income as a result of higher cash reserves, offset by lower interest rates.
Our income tax expense was $6.1$18.1 million and $24.2 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of $17.8$17.2 million and $35.0 million for the threesame monthsperiods ended March 31,in 2025, relatedrelating to tax arising on income or losses in Ireland, the U.K., the U.S. and certain other foreign jurisdictions and Pillar Two top-up taxes, offset by deductions on subsidiary equity, patent box and foreign-derived deduction eligible income benefits and tax credits. The income tax expense for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20262026, also included tax arising on the gain on sale of the PRV, partially offset by excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. The income tax benefit for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 20252025, was primarily due to the tax impact of certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $2.9$2.2 billion, borrowing available under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility of $885.0 million and a long-term debt principal balance of $5.4$4.4 billion. Our long-term debt included $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes. We generated cash flow from operations of $408.2$823.9 million during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and we expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations which will enable us to operate our business and de-lever our balance sheet over time.
Prior to June 15, 2030, the 2030 Notes will be exchangeable only upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including a condition tied to our share price that is measured as of the end of each quarter, and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the closing price of our ordinary shares exceeded 130% of the conversion price of the 2030 Notes for more than 20 trading days of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. As a result, the share price condition was met and the 2030 Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holders during the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Accordingly, the carrying value of the 2030 Notes has been included in current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.
As of the date of this filing, none of the 2030 Notes have been exchanged by the holders. In the event holders elect to exchange their 2030 Notes, we expect we would settle such exchanges using cash on hand and/or borrowings under our Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
Since the closing of the GW Acquisition in May 2021, we have fully repaid our Euro Term Loan. With respect to our Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans, we have made voluntary repayments of $1.1 billion, $300.0 million in September 20222022, and $750.0 million in January 2025, along with mandatory repayments $147.3$155.0 million. In June 2026, we repaid the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes and, in August 2024, we repaid the $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2024 Notes.
To continue to grow our business over the longer term, we plan to commit substantial resources to product acquisition and in-licensing, product development, clinical trials of product candidates and expansion of our commercial, development, manufacturing and other operations. In this regard, we have evaluated and expect to continue to evaluate a wide array of strategic transactions as part of our strategy to acquire or in-license and develop additional products and product candidates. Acquisition opportunities that we pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur additional indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. We regularly evaluate the performance of our products and product candidates to ensure fit within our portfolio and support efficient allocation of capital. In addition, we may pursue new operations or continue the expansion of our existing operations. Accordingly, we expect to continue to opportunistically seek access to additional capital to license or acquire additional products, product candidates or companies to expand our operations, to restructure or refinance our debt and/or for general corporate purposes. Raising additional capital could be accomplished through one or more public or private debt or equity financings, collaborations or partnering arrangements. However, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide resulting from the effects of ongoing military conflicts, inflationary pressures, potential future bank failures, or otherwise. In this regard, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine military conflict and the ongoing military conflict involving the U.S., Israel and Iran have created extreme volatility in the global credit and financial markets and have had and may continue to have further global economic consequences, including continued disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets, which could continue to drive inflationary pressures and increase global recession risk. Accordingly, we could experience an inability to access additional capital or our liquidity could otherwise be impacted, which could in the future negatively affect our capacity for certain corporate development transactions or our ability to make other important, opportunistic investments. In addition, under Irish law we must have authority from our shareholders to issue any ordinary shares, including ordinary shares that are part of our authorized but unissued share capital, and our current share issuance authority is due to expire in July 2026.2031. Moreover, as a matter of Irish law, when an Irish public limited company issues ordinary shares to new shareholders for cash, the company must first offer those shares on the same or more favorable terms to existing shareholders on a pro rata basis, unless this statutory pre-emption obligation is dis-applied, or opted-out of, by approval of its shareholders. At our annual general meeting of shareholders in July 2025,2026, our shareholders voted to approve our proposal to dis-apply the statutory pre-emption obligation. This current pre-emption opt-out authority is due to expire in January 2027.2028. If we are unable to obtain further share issuance and pre-emption authorities from our shareholders in the future, or otherwise continue to be limited by the terms of new share issuance pre-emption authorities approved by our shareholders in the future, our ability to use our unissued share capital to fund in-licensing, acquisition or other business opportunities, or to otherwise raise capital, including at the time we are required to make repurchases of the 2026 Notes, the 2030 Notes and/or the Secured Notes, are required to repay outstanding amounts under the Amended Credit Agreement, or pay cash upon exchange ofreaching the 2026maturity Notesdate orof the 2030 Notes, could likewise be adversely affected or precluded altogether. In any event, an inability to borrow or raise additional capital in a timely manner and on attractive terms could prevent us from expanding our business or taking advantage of acquisition opportunities and could otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business and growth prospects. In addition, if we use a substantial amount of our funds to acquire or in-license products or product candidates, we may not have sufficient additional funds to conduct all of our operations in the manner we would otherwise choose. Furthermore, any equity financing would be dilutive to our shareholders,shareholders percentage ownership, and could require the consent of the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement that provides for (i) the Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans and Amended Revolving Credit Facility, and the indenture for the Secured Notes for certain financings.
In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the Repurchase Program, to repurchase ordinary shares having an aggregate purchase price of $500.0 million, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. The Repurchase Program, which has no expiration date, allows us to repurchase ordinary shares from time to time by any methods and/or structures permitted by applicable law. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of our ordinary shares, alternative investment opportunities, restrictions under the Amended Credit Agreement and the indenture for our Secured Notes, corporate and regulatory requirements and market conditions. The Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without our prior notice. During the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025,2026, no shares were repurchased. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we spent a total of $125.0 million to repurchase 1.1 million of our ordinary shares under the Repurchase Program at a purchase price, including commissions, of $109.52 per share. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the Repurchase Program was $225.0 million, exclusive of any brokerage commissions.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $305.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to cash received from increased sales of our products and the impact of the payment of Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements of $172.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was broadly in line with the same period in 2025.
