Overview
We are a pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular, or CV, health and reduce CV risk.
Our commercialized product, VASCEPA ® (icosapent ethyl, or IPE) was first approved by the United States, or U.S., Food and Drug Administration, or U.S. FDA, in July 2012 for use as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride, or TG, levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia, or HTG, or the MARINE indication. On December 13, 2019, the U.S. FDA approved another indication and label expansion for VASCEPA based on the results of our long-term CV outcomes trial, REDUCE-IT ® , or Reduction of CV Events with EPA – Intervention Trial. VASCEPA is approved by the U.S. FDA as an adjunct to maximally tolerated statin therapy for reducing persistent CV risk in select high risk-patients, or the REDUCE-IT indication.
On March 26, 2021, the European Commission, or EC, approved the marketing authorization application for VASCEPA, under the brand name VAZKEPA ® , hereinafter along with VASCEPA, collectively referred to as VASCEPA, in the European Union, or EU, to reduce the risk of CV events in high-risk statin-treated adult patients who have elevated TG ( > 150 mg/dL) and either established CV disease or diabetes and at least one additional CV risk event. On April 22, 2021, we announced that the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, approved VAZKEPA in England, Scotland and Wales to reduce CV risk. Collectively, Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, EMA, EC and MHRA are referred to herein as the European Regulatory Authorities.
We and our seven commercial partners are in various stages: seeking or maintaining regulatory approval, obtaining government or private pricing and reimbursement, and/or commercialization. VASCEPA and VAZKEPA approvals and applications for approval globally reference either the U.S. New Drug Application, or NDA, core dossier or the EMA core dossier.

We are responsible for supplying VASCEPA to all markets in which the branded product is sold, including countries where the drug is promoted and sold via collaboration with third-party partners that compensate us for such supply. We are not responsible for providing any generic company with drug product. The Company operates in one business segment.

United States
VASCEPA is sold principally to a limited number of major wholesalers, as well as selected regional wholesalers and retail and mail order pharmacy providers, or collectively, our distributors or our customers, most of whom in turn resell VASCEPA to retail pharmacies for subsequent resale to patients. Since VASCEPA was made commercially available in 2013, approximately 31 million estimated normalized total prescriptions of VASCEPA have been reported by Symphony Health. In 2020, following our unsuccessful appeals of a court ruling in favor of two generic drug companies, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., or Dr. Reddy’s, and Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., or Hikma, and certain of their affiliates, several of our patents covering the MARINE indication were declared invalid. As a result, the following generic versions of IPE have obtained U.S. FDA approval with labeling consistent with the MARINE indication and have entered the U.S. market:

We obtain data from a third party, Symphony Health, which collects and reports estimates of weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual prescription information. There is a limited amount of information available to determine the actual number of total prescriptions for products like VASCEPA during such periods. The vendor's estimate utilizes a proprietary projection methodology and is based on a combination of data received from pharmacies and other distributors, as well as historical data when actual data is unavailable. Based on data from Symphony Health, the below chart represents the estimated number of normalized total VASCEPA prescriptions in the U.S.
28
Normalized total prescriptions represent the estimated total number of VASCEPA prescriptions dispensed to patients, calculated on a normalized basis (i.e., one month’s supply, or total capsules dispensed multiplied by the number of grams per capsule divided by 120 grams). Inventory levels at wholesalers tend to fluctuate based on seasonal factors, prescription trends and other factors.
The previous calculations of prescription levels by this vendor can change between periods and can be significantly affected by lags in data reporting from various sources or by changes in pharmacies and other distributors providing data. Such methods can from time to time result in significant inaccuracies in information when ultimately compared with actual results. These inaccuracies have historically been most prevalent and pronounced during periods of time of inflections upward or downward in rates of use. Further, data for a single and limited period may not be representative of a trend or otherwise predictive of future results.
Partnerships
One of our core areas of focus is continuing to work on generating revenue from our partnerships in key international markets. We and our partners have obtained varying levels of indication approvals and initiated or are in the process of initiating commercial launches in various territories where our partners have access. We and our partners continue to seek additional regulatory approvals in the countries in which our partners operate. We have agreements in place with the following partners within the respective territories:

In addition, we received regulatory approval in Switzerland by the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, or Swissmedic. VAZKEPA has been made available in Switzerland under individual reimbursement since January 2023.
We are responsible for supplying finished product to these partners. We continue to assess other potential partnership opportunities for VASCEPA with companies with the intention of partnering in all other international markets where VASCEPA receives local regulatory approval.
Research and Development
Since its inception in 2011, the REDUCE-IT CV outcomes study of VASCEPA has been the centerpiece of our research and development. We also continue to study the potential mechanisms of action of the single active ingredient in VASCEPA, IPE. Based on the final positive results of REDUCE-IT, we sought additional indicated uses for VASCEPA in the U.S. and continue to pursue approval for VASCEPA around the world. We also anticipate continuing to publish additional details of the REDUCE-IT study to address scientific interest beyond the primary results of this study derived from the over 35,000 patient years of study experience which were accumulated in the REDUCE-IT study.
Based on REDUCE-IT results, as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, more than 70 clinical treatment guidelines, consensus statements or scientific statements from global medical or scientific societies or within peer reviewed journals have recognized the use of IPE in appropriate at-risk patients for CV risk reductions, including those statements which we were informed of by our global partners as well as guidelines which were newly received during the second quarter of 2026 as listed below:
• In April 2026, the European Federation of Internal Medicine released Assessment and Management of Cardiovascular–Kidney–Liver Metabolic-Syndrome in the Primary Care Setting: A Multidisciplinary Consensus Statement, in the European Journal of Internal Medicine. This stated that treatment of elevated triglycerides, or TG, can be considered in high- or very-high-risk patients, with elevated TG (1.52–5.63 mmol/L or 135–499 mg/dL). High-dose IPE (2 g twice daily) could be added to statin therapy to reduce CV risk.
30
• In May 2026, the American Heart Association, or AHA, released a 2026 Scientific Statement update on the Secondary Prevention After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, which stated that as a third line therapy if the combination of statin and ezetimibe still fails to achieve the target Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, or LDL-C, thresholds then consider either PCSK9 inhibitor or IPE if the TG level is between 135 mg/dL (1.5 mmol/L) and 500 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L).
• In June 2026, the American College of Cardiology/AHA Joint Committee released a report; the 2026 AHA/American College of Cardiology, or ACC/American Diabetes Association, or ADA/American Society of Nephrology, or ASN, Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome. This report states that for those with persistent HTG on maximally tolerated statins, or with additional CV risk factors, IPE can be considered to lower ASCVD risk. In addition, studies using relative-risk reduction estimates from RCTs and absolute event rates from epidemiologic studies of CAC demonstrate that moderate-to-severe CAC identifies patients at high absolute CVD risk who are most likely to benefit from several preventive therapies indicated for CKM syndrome (statins, GLP-1–based therapy, aggressive BP lowering, and IPE in those with HTG).
In May 2026, at the Digestive Disease Week meeting in Chicago, IL, researchers from Harvard working on an Amarin supported investigator-initiated trial presented data at a poster session. The poster presentation included data on the effect of IPE treatment on fecal metabolites and microbiome among patients with a history of adenoma, and results from a secondary analysis of a prospective, single-arm clinical study.
In May 2026, at the European Atherosclerosis Society meeting in Athens, Greece, global collaborators presented two Amarin supported oral E-poster presentations. The first presentation reported data on how risk-weighted apolipoprotein B compares to traditional lipid biomarkers in predicting residual CV risk in statin-treated hypertriglyceridemic patients, post hoc analysis of the REDUCE-IT placebo arm. The second presentation reported on residual CV risk from elevated TG in established atherosclerotic CV disease patients from the CPRD database in the UK.
In June 2026, at the European Society for Clinical Investigation meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, at an oral poster presentation, global collaborators presented a post-hoc analysis of REDUCE-IT reporting the impact of IPE on coagulation biomarkers and clinical outcomes in high-risk CV patients.
In June 2026, at the National Lipid Association meeting in Chicago, IL, researchers from the Geisinger Health System reported on designing and implementation strategies for improving best clinician practices of HTG management in patients post-ACS as a poster presentation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Amarin and global medical and scientific collaborators supported a total of 12 publications inclusive of accepted abstracts, posters, and manuscripts.
Commercial and Clinical Supply
We manage the manufacturing and supply of VASCEPA and rely on contract manufacturers in each step of our commercial and clinical product supply chain. These steps include active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, manufacturing, encapsulation of the API, product packaging and supply-related logistics. Our approach to product supply procurement is designed to mitigate risk of supply interruption and maintain an environment of cost competition through diversification of contract manufacturers at each stage of the supply chain and lack of reliance on any single supplier. We have multiple U.S. FDA-approved international API suppliers, encapsulators and packagers to support the VASCEPA commercial franchise in the U.S. We also have multiple international API suppliers, encapsulators and packagers to support the commercialization of VASCEPA in geographies where the drug is approved outside the U.S. Not all of our suppliers approved by the U.S. FDA are approved in every other geography. The regulatory process generally requires extensive details as part of the submission provided to a country or region in connection with a company's request for regulatory approval. Suppliers must be specifically identified as part of the submission for qualification and approval for commercialization in a country or region. As a result, only supply, as approved, may be used in finished goods available for sale in a specific country or region. The amount of supply we seek to purchase in future periods will depend on the level of growth of VASCEPA revenues and minimum purchase commitments with certain suppliers. We continue to negotiate with our contract suppliers to align our supply arrangements with current and future global market demand. As of June 30, 2026, we had inventory of $164.1 million, of which 43% is inventory approved for use in North America.

Financial Operations Overview
Product revenue, net . All of our product revenue is derived from product sales of 1-gram and 0.5-gram size capsules of VASCEPA, net of allowances, discounts, incentives, rebates, chargebacks and returns. In the U.S., VASCEPA is sold to three major wholesalers, several regional wholesalers along with mail order pharmacy providers that in turn resell the product to retail pharmacies, as well as directly to select regional retail pharmacy chains, or collectively, our distributors or our customers. Most of these customers resell VASCEPA to retail pharmacies for purposes of dispensing VASCEPA to patients. Revenues from VASCEPA sales are recognized upon delivery to the distributor or customer. Timing of shipments to wholesalers, as used for revenue recognition, and timing of prescriptions as estimated by third-party sources such as Symphony Health may differ from period to period. Our product revenue, net included adjustment for co-pay mitigation rebates provided by us to commercially insured patients in the U.S.
Outside of the U.S., our product revenue is derived from the sales of VASCEPA to our commercial partners based on the net price for VASCEPA established in our contracts with such partners. These commercial partners then resell the product in their agreed commercial territory. Revenues from sales to our international commercial partners are recognized when the commercial partners obtain control of our product. The net price of VASCEPA sold by us to our customers where we directly sell VASCEPA is generally significantly higher than the net price of VASCEPA that we sell to commercial partners who then incur the cost of promoting and reselling the product in their territories. As a result, even when the net price of VASCEPA to patients is similar in various parts of the world, our gross margin on sales is higher where we sell VASCEPA directly.
Licensing and royalty revenue . Licensing and royalty revenue currently consists of revenue attributable to receipt of upfront, non-refundable payments, milestone payments and sales-based payments related to license and distribution agreements for VASCEPA outside the U.S. We recognize revenue from licensing arrangements as we fulfill the performance obligations under each of the agreements. As part of our licensing agreements with certain territories outside of the U.S., we are entitled to a percentage of revenue earned based on sales by our partners. The royalty payments are being recognized when the uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved.
Cost of goods sold . Cost of goods sold includes the cost of API for VASCEPA on which revenue was recognized during the period, as well as the associated costs for encapsulation, packaging, shipment, supply management, quality assurance, insurance, and other indirect manufacturing, logistics and product support costs. The cost of the API included in cost of goods sold reflects the average cost method of inventory valuation and relief. This average cost reflects the actual purchase price of VASCEPA API. Cost of goods sold may vary by region due to regional approval requirements. Our cost of goods sold is not materially impacted by whether we sell VASCEPA directly in a country or we sell VASCEPA to a commercial partner for resale in a country.
Selling, general and administrative expense . Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in our marketing, executive, business development, finance and information technology functions. Other costs primarily include facility costs and professional fees for accounting, consulting and legal services.
Research and development expense . Research and development expense consists primarily of fees paid to professional service providers in conjunction with independent monitoring of our clinical trials and acquiring and evaluating data in conjunction with our clinical trials, fees paid to independent researchers, costs of qualifying contract manufacturers, services expenses incurred in developing and testing products and product candidates, salaries and related expenses for personnel, including stock-based compensation expense, costs of materials, depreciation, rent, utilities and other facilities costs. In addition, research and development expenses include the cost to support current development efforts, costs of product supply received from suppliers when such receipt by us is prior to regulatory approval of the supplier, as well as license fees related to our strategic collaboration with Mochida. We expense research and development costs as incurred.
Restructuring expense . Restructuring expense consists of restructuring costs incurred under our June 2025 Global Restructuring Plan, which consists of severance pay, incentive compensation, insurance benefits, stock-based compensation and other contract related costs.
Interest income, net and other income (expense), net . Interest income, net, consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, as well as on our short-term investments. Other income (expense), net, consists of foreign exchange losses and gains as well as sublease income.
Benefit from (provision for) income taxes. Benefit from (provision for) income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. In applying guidance prescribed under ASC 740 and based on present
32
evidence and conclusions around the realizability of deferred tax assets, we determined that any tax benefit related to the pretax losses generated for 2026 and 2025 are not more likely than not to be realized.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, estimates are assessed and adjusted based on historical experience and current market-specific indicators, environment and assumptions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies, significant judgments and estimates is presented in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies, significant judgments and estimates described in our Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Effects of Inflation
We believe the impact of inflation on operations has been minimal during the past three years.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025
Total revenue, net. We recorded total revenue, net, of $42.2 million and $72.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $30.5 million, or 42%. Total revenue, net, consists primarily of revenue from the sale of VASCEPA in the U.S. In addition to the U.S., during the three months ending June 30, 2026, we also sold VASCEPA by prescription in certain countries outside of the U.S., through collaborations with third-party companies. As further discussed below, the aforementioned decrease is due primarily to a $23.0 million decrease in licensing and royalty revenue, a $4.3 million decrease in U.S. net product revenue and a $3.3 million decrease in net product revenue outside of the U.S.
Product revenue, net . We recorded product revenue, net, of $39.1 million and $46.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 16%. This decrease was due primarily to decreases in VASCEPA prices within the U.S., transition of European operations to Recordati and lower sales to our partners outside Europe.
We recorded U.S. product revenue, net, of $32.2 million and $36.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to a lower net selling price associated with changes in customer mix.
The overall IPE market in the U.S., based on prescription levels reported by Symphony Health, increased by 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our share of the IPE market has increased to approximately 48% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to approximately 43% in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, based on prescription levels reported by Symphony Health, VASCEPA-branded prescriptions increased by 17% in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
In June 2025, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Recordati to commercialize VASCEPA in Europe. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded Europe product revenue, net, of $5.4 million compared to $6.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the change in business structure within Europe.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded RoW product revenue, net, of $1.4 million from our six collaboration partners, comprising multiple distinct geographies, compared to $3.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease reflects normal variability across the multiple geographies encompassing this early stage of a developing ex-U.S. market.
Despite the generic competition in the U.S., we remain confident that the global patient need for VASCEPA is high. For the remainder of 2026, we will continue to (i) competitively manage our market leadership in the U.S., and (ii) drive expanded access and increased patient uptake of VASCEPA through ongoing support of our commercialization partners and their pricing, reimbursement and licensure initiatives in non-U.S. geographies around the world.
Licensing and royalty revenue . Licensing and royalty revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $3.1 million and $26.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $23.0 million, or 88%. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a
33
$25.0 million upfront payment resulting from the execution of the Recordati Licensing Agreement in prior year offset by higher royalties as a result of increased partner sales within their respective territories.
As part of our licensing agreements with certain territories outside of the U.S., we are entitled to a percentage of revenue earned based on sales by our partners. Royalty payments are recognized based on revenue reported by our partners. The amount of licensing and royalty revenue is expected to vary from period to period based on timing of milestones achieved and select partner sales within respective territories.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $27.2 million and $22.4 million, respectively, an increase of $4.8 million, or 22%. This increase in cost of goods sold is due to increased product volumes. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of API for VASCEPA on which revenue was recognized during the period, as well as the associated costs for encapsulation, packaging, shipment, supply management, insurance and quality assurance. The cost of the API included in cost of goods sold reflects the average cost of API included in inventory. This average cost reflects the actual purchase price of VASCEPA API.
The API included in the calculation of the average cost of goods sold during the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was sourced from multiple API suppliers. These suppliers compete with each other based on cost, consistent quality, capacity, timely delivery and other factors. In the future, we may see the average cost of supply change based on numerous potential factors including increased volume purchases, continued improvement in manufacturing efficiency, the mix of purchases made among suppliers, currency exchange rates and other factors. The average cost may be variable from period to period depending upon the timing and quantity of API purchased from each supplier.
Our overall gross margin on product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 30% and 52%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin is primarily as a result of a change in customer mix.

Restructuring expense . Restructuring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was less than $0.1 million and $22.8 million, respectively. The charges in both the current and prior year are due to the implementation of the Global Restructuring Plan associated with the execution of the Recordati Licensing Agreement announced on June 24, 2025, which resulted in the elimination of commercial roles in the Company’s European operations. Refer to Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.
Interest income, net . Interest income, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 16%. Interest income, net, represents income earned on cash and investment balances.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025
Total revenue, net. We recorded total revenue, net, of $87.3 million and $114.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $27.4 million, or 24%. Total revenue, net, consists primarily of revenue from the sale of VASCEPA in the U.S. In addition to the U.S., during the six months ended June 30, 2026, we also sold VASCEPA by prescription in certain countries outside of the U.S. through collaborations with third-party companies. As further discussed below, the aforementioned decrease is due primarily to a $22.2 million decrease in licensing and royalty revenue, a $4.3 million decrease in U.S. net product revenue and a $0.9 million decrease in net product revenue outside of the U.S.
Product revenue, net. We recorded product revenue, net, of $82.4 million and $87.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 6%. This decrease was due primarily to 6% and 13% decreases in VASCEPA sales in the U.S. and Europe.
We recorded U.S. product revenue, net, of $67.9 million and $72.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to a lower net selling price associated with changes in customer mix.

In June 2025, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Recordati to commercialize VASCEPA in Europe. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded Europe product revenue, net, of $10.4 million compared to $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the change in business structure.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded RoW product revenue, net, of $4.2 million from our six collaboration partners, comprising multiple distinct geographies, compared to $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Licensing and royalty revenue . Licensing and royalty revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $4.9 million and $27.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $22.2 million, or 82%. This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a $25.0 million upfront payment resulting from the execution of the Recordati Licensing Agreement in the prior year offset by higher royalties as a result of an increase in partner sales within their respective territories.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $54.6 million and $39.3 million, respectively, an increase of $15.3 million, or 39%.

The cost of the API included in cost of goods sold reflects the average cost of API included in inventory. This average cost reflects the actual purchase price of VASCEPA API.
The API included in the calculation of the average cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was sourced from multiple API suppliers.
Our overall gross margin on product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 34% and 55%, respectively. The decrease in gross margin is primarily as a result of a change in customer mix.

As of June 30, 2026, our aggregate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $143.8 million and short-term investments of $171.1 million, aggregating $314.9 million. We have no indebtedness. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily include checking accounts and money market funds with original maturities of less than 90 days.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. This is primarily driven by the Global Restructuring Plan and the resulting cost savings, including the elimination of commercial roles in our European operations.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased due primarily to the purchases of $90.5 million in investment grade interest-bearing instruments offset by proceeds from the maturity of $88.4 million of
37
investment grade interest-bearing instruments as compared to the same period in 2025 where proceeds from the maturity of investment grade interest-bearing instruments were $105.3 million, partially offset by $80.8 million in purchases of investment-grade interest bearing instruments.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the same period in 2025 was primarily as a result of taxes paid on stock-based awards.
On January 10, 2024, we announced plans to initiate a share repurchase program to purchase up to $50.0 million of the Company's Ordinary Shares held in the form of American Depository Shares, or ADS. We received shareholder and UK High Court approval of the share repurchase plan in April and May 2024, respectively. The share repurchase program has a five-year approval window and can be deployed at any point until the second quarter of 2029. The Company has not commenced any share repurchases to date, but we will continue to monitor business and market conditions.
As of June 30, 2026, we had net accounts receivable of $92.9 million, and inventory of $164.1 million. We have incurred annual operating losses since our inception and, as a result, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $143.6 million and short-term investments of $171.1 million, aggregating $314.6 million. In accordance with ASC 205-40, management is required to evaluate our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and our short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our projected operations, including the share repurchase program if we were to decide to proceed with such, for at least one year from the issuance date of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and is adequate to support continued operations based on our current plans. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate, including as a result of the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and the Annual Report and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect or fail to achieve positive cash flow.
Contractual Obligations
Except for our contractual obligations related to purchase obligations with certain supply chain contracting parties and operating leases related to real estate used as office space as set forth in Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies and Note 9 – Leases, respectively, in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes from the contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2025 previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026.
We do not have any special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes with respect to the information appearing in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report.
