Second-Quarter 2026 Financial Results Second-quarter 2026 GAAP net income and earnings per share were $144 million and $1.39, respectively, compared with $108 million and $1.06, respectively, for second-quarter 2025. Second-quarter 2026 Non-GAAP net income and earnings per share were $297 million and $2.85, respectively, compared with $166 million and $1.65, respectively, for second-quarter 2025. A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial results can be found in Table 3 at the end of this press release. Second-quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP net income compared with second-quarter 2025 were primarily driven by: Higher net product sales of $272 million. For the second quarter 2026, GAAP operating expenses included certain expenses associated with the acquisition of Soleno Therapeutics, Inc., which closed in May 2026, and are excluded from Non-GAAP operating expenses. Increased R&D expense in support of an expanded and advancing pre-clinical and clinical portfolio included investments in the osavampator Phase 3 program in major depressive disorder (MDD) and the muscarinic franchise, including the direclidine Phase 3 program as a potential treatment for adults with schizophrenia. Development milestone expense included in R&D was $0.3 million and $15 million for the second quarter 2026 and 2025. Increased SG&A expense primarily reflected continued investment in our commercial organization, included the expansion of our INGREZZA and CRENESSITY sales teams in the first quarter of 2026 and partial quarter of expense for support of VYKAT XR. At June 30, 2026, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling approximately $482 million. Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance INGREZZA sales guidance reflects expected net product sales of INGREZZA in tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington's disease. R&D guidance reflects the continued advancement of the Company's pre-clinical and clinical portfolio including the Phase 3 programs for osavampator in MDD and direclidine in schizophrenia, and includes approximately $25 million of expense for development milestones related to our in-licensed product candidates. Development milestones are included in R&D guidance once achieved or deemed probable to achieve. Non-GAAP guidance has been adjusted to exclude estimated non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $115 million in R&D and $170 million in SG&A, including approximately $58 million related to the acceleration of vesting of equity awards for Soleno employees which vested in full upon the closing of the transaction, and acquisition, integration and divestiture-related expenses of approximately $95 million. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense for performance-based equity awards is included in guidance once the predefined performance-based criteria for vesting is achieved or deemed probable to achieve. IPR&D guidance represents completed collaboration and licensing arrangements. SG&A guidance reflects expense for ongoing commercial initiatives, including the recent expansion of our sales teams in Q1 2026, supporting INGREZZA growth and the launch of CRENESSITY and VYKAT XR. In connection with the acquisition of Soleno, the Company recorded approximately $2.2 billion of intellectual property related to VYKAT XR to the balance sheet, which will be amortized over an expected life of 16 years.
