Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.
Although we believe that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Incyte Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Updates
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures .” This amended guidance applies to all entities and broadly aims to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applicable for disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning with the year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
9
Table of Contents
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “ Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE).” This new guidance applies to all public entities and requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. Public entities must adopt the new standard prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents
Debt security assets were assessed for risk of expected credit losses. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the available-for-sale debt securities were held in U.S.-government backed securities and in Treasury bonds and were assessed on an individual security basis to have a de minimis risk of credit loss.
Fair Value Measurements
FASB accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“the exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. In determining fair value we use quoted prices and observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and models that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Our marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. government debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our Level 2 U.S. government debt securities were valued using readily available pricing sources which utilize market observable inputs, including the current interest rate and other characteristics for similar types of investments. Our long term equity investments classified as Level 1 were valued using their respective closing stock prices on The Nasdaq Stock Market. We did not experience any transfers of financial instruments between the fair value hierarchy levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Payments made during the period ( 9,572 )
Change in fair value of contingent consideration 34,333
Balance at June 30, $ 207,000
The initial fair value of the contingent consideration was determined on the date of acquisition, June 1, 2016, using an income approach based on projected future net revenues of ICLUSIG in the European Union and other countries for the approved third line treatment over 18 years, and discounted to present value at a rate of 10 %. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The valuation inputs utilized to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included a discount rate of 10 % and updated projections of future net revenues of ICLUSIG in the European Union and other countries for the approved third line treatment. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was due primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impacting future revenue projections of ICLUSIG and the passage of time.
We generally make payments to Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited quarterly based on the royalties earned in the previous quarter. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contingent consideration earned but not yet paid was $ 10.8 million and $ 10.0 million, respectively, and was included in accrued and other current liabilities.
Note 5. Concentration of Credit Risk and Current Expected Credit Losses
In November 2009, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (formerly known as Novartis Pharmaceutical International Ltd.) (“Novartis”). In December 2009, we entered into a license, development and commercialization agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”). The above collaboration partners comprised, in aggregate, 18 % and 19 % of the accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For further information relating to these collaboration and license agreements, refer to Note 8.

In November 2011, we began commercialization and distribution of JAKAFI and in October 2021, we began commercialization and distribution of OPZELURA. Our product revenues are concentrated in a number of customers for these products. The concentration of credit risk related to our JAKAFI and OPZELURA product revenues is as follows:
Percentage of Total Net
Product Revenues for the
Three Months Ended Percentage of Total Net
Product Revenues for the
Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024

Customer C 20 % 18 % 20 % 18 %
Customer D 15 % 13 % 11 % 12 %
Customer E 11 % 10 % 10 % 10 %
We are exposed to risks associated with extending credit to customers related to the sale of products. Customers A, B, C, D and E comprised, in the aggregate, 50 % and 47 % of the accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The concentration of credit risk relating to our other product revenues or accounts receivable is not significant.
We assessed our collaborative and customer receivable assets as of June 30, 2025 according to our accounting policy for applying reserves for expected credit losses, noting minimal history of uncollectible receivables and the continued perceived creditworthiness of our third party sales relationships, upon which the expected credit losses were considered de minimis. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Note 6. Acquisitions
Tafasitamab
On February 5, 2024, pursuant to a purchase agreement with MorphoSys AG and MorphoSys US Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MorphoSys AG (together with MorphoSys AG, “MorphoSys”), we acquired exclusive global rights to tafasitamab, a humanized Fc-modified CD19-targeting immunotherapy marketed in the United States as MONJUVI (tafasitamab-cxix) and outside of the United States as MINJUVI (tafasitamab). We previously had the rights to tafasitamab outside of the United States under a January 2020 collaboration and license agreement with MorphoSys, which has now been terminated; therefore, this new agreement gave us all of the remaining global rights to tafasitamab. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we made a payment of $ 25.0 million to MorphoSys and gained global development and commercialization rights for tafasitamab along with MONJUVI inventory. We recognize revenue and costs for all U.S. commercialization and clinical development and MorphoSys is no longer be eligible to receive future milestone, profit split and royalty payments under the now-terminated collaboration and license agreement.
We evaluated the set of activities and assets acquired under the purchase agreement and concluded that it did not meet the definition of a business because the acquired set did not include a substantive process. Therefore, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition under U.S. GAAP and the total purchase price, inclusive of direct transaction costs, was allocated to the acquired MONJUVI inventory, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

Table of Contents
Under the purchase agreement, we also became the successor to MorphoSys under its collaboration and license agreement with Xencor, Inc. (“Xencor”), pursuant to which Xencor granted MorphoSys an exclusive, worldwide license, including the right to sublicense under certain conditions, for tafasitamab. During the first quarter of 2025, we paid Xencor a development milestone of $ 12.5 million for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's acceptance of the Biologics License Application filing for the use of tafasitamab for follicular lymphoma. In June 2025, we recorded a $ 25.0 million regulatory milestone owed to Xencor for the FDA approval of MONJUVI for the treatment of follicular lymphoma. As of June 30, 2025, this milestone was accrued in accounts payable and capitalized as an intangible asset in other intangible assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. The intangible asset will be amortized through cost of product revenues over the estimated useful life of 8 years. Xencor is entitled to receive up to an additional $ 149.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones and up to $ 50.0 million in sales milestones. Furthermore, Xencor is eligible to receive tiered royalties on global net sales of tafasitamab in the single-digit to sub-teen double-digit percentage range. Our royalty obligations continue on a country-by-country basis until the later to occur of the expiration of the last valid claim in the licensed patent covering tafasitamab in such country, or 11 years after the first sale thereof following marketing authorization in such country. The term of the Xencor collaboration agreement will continue until all of our royalty payment obligations have expired, unless terminated earlier. The Xencor collaboration agreement may be terminated by either party upon written notice to the other party immediately in the event of the other party’s insolvency or upon 120 days’ written notice for the other party’s uncured material breach (or upon 30 days’ written notice in the case of a breach of a payment obligation). Moreover, we may terminate the Xencor collaboration agreement without cause upon 90 days’ advance written notice to Xencor. In the event that (i) we terminate this agreement for convenience or (ii) Xencor terminates due to our material breach, our challenge of Xencor’s licensed patents or our insolvency, worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize licensed products, including tafasitamab, revert back to Xencor.
Escient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ( “ Escient ” )
On May 30, 2024 we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Escient, a clinical-stage drug development company advancing novel small molecule therapeutics for systemic immune and neuro-immune disorders, for $ 782.5 million cash consideration, which included Escient's net cash remaining at the close of the transaction, subject to adjustments set forth in the merger agreement with Escient.
Escient’s lead molecule, INCB000262 (formerly EP262), is a first-in-class oral Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) antagonist that has the potential to treat a broad range of inflammatory disorders. We accounted for the Escient transaction as an asset acquisition under U.S. GAAP because INCB000262 represents substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired.
In addition to the $ 782.5 million closing cash consideration per the terms of the merger agreement, we incurred $ 2.5 million of direct transaction costs that were included in the total consideration to be allocated to the acquired net assets. Of the $ 785.0 million total consideration, we recognized related compensation expense of $ 31.5 million associated with the accelerated vesting for certain Escient stock awards in connection with the acquisition on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
The following table summarizes allocation of the remaining U.S. GAAP consideration, net of compensation expense, across the net assets acquired (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents $ 48,302
Marketable securities 3,988
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,663
In-process research and development assets 679,388
Deferred tax asset 44,811
Other non-current assets 4,110
Accounts payable and accrued expenses ( 26,611 )
Other current liabilities ( 1,022 )
Non-current liabilities ( 1,118 )
Total U.S. GAAP Consideration (net of compensation expense) $ 753,511

Table of Contents
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets are related to acquired clinical-stage product candidates: lead candidate, INCB000262, and secondary candidate, INCB000547 (formerly EP547). The fair value of IPR&D assets was based on the present value of future discounted cash flows, which was based on significant estimates. These estimates included the amount of future product revenues, costs required to conduct clinical trials, future milestones and royalties payable under acquired license agreements, costs to receive regulatory approval and potentially commercialize product candidates, as well as estimates for probability of success and the discount rate. The concluded allocated fair values for INCB000262 and INCB000547 was $ 644.8 million and $ 34.6 million, respectively. As both acquired IPR&D assets do not have an alternative future use at the acquisition date, we recognized the full amount of $ 679.4 million as research and development expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations during three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Note 7. Inventory
Our inventory balance consists of the following (in thousands):
June 30,
2025 December 31,
2024
Raw materials $ 32,968 $ 27,590
API and Work-in-process 361,739 331,178
Finished goods 56,824 48,431
Total inventory $ 451,531 $ 407,199
Inventories, stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, consist of raw materials, active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”), work in process, and finished goods, inclusive of freight and inventoriable overhead. At June 30, 2025, $ 83.4 million of inventory was classified as current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as we expect this inventory to be consumed for commercial use within the next twelve months. At June 30, 2025, $ 368.1 million of inventory was classified as non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as we did not expect this inventory to be consumed for commercial use within the next twelve months. We obtain some inventory components from a limited number of suppliers due to technology, availability, price, quality or other considerations. The loss of a supplier, the deterioration of our relationship with a supplier, or any unilateral violation of the contractual terms under which we are supplied components by a supplier could adversely affect our total revenues and gross margins.
We capitalize inventory after regulatory approval as the related costs are expected to be recoverable through the commercialization of the product. Costs incurred prior to regulatory approval are recorded as research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2025, inventory with approximately $ 47.4 million of product costs incurred prior to regulatory approval had not yet been sold. We expect to sell the pre-commercialization inventory over the next 3 to 43 months and, as a result, cost of product revenues will reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials.
Note 8. License Agreements
Novartis
In November 2009, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Novartis. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis received exclusive development and commercialization rights outside of the United States to our JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib and certain back-up compounds for hematologic and oncology indications, including all hematological malignancies, solid tumors and myeloproliferative diseases. We retained exclusive development and commercialization rights to JAKAFI (ruxolitinib) in the United States and in certain other indications. Novartis also received worldwide exclusive development and commercialization rights to our MET inhibitor compound capmatinib and certain back-up compounds in all indications.
Under this agreement, each company is responsible for costs relating to the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib in its respective territories, with costs of collaborative studies shared equally. Novartis is also responsible for all costs relating to the development and commercialization of capmatinib.

Subsequently, we commenced a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $ 1.672 billion (the “tender offer”). We offered to purchase up to $ 1.672 billion in value of our common stock at a price not greater than $ 60.00 per share nor less than $ 52.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the tender offer documents that were distributed to stockholders. A modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer allows stockholders to indicate how much stock they wish to tender and at what price within the range described above. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, we determined the lowest price per share that enabled us to purchase $ 1.672 billion of common stock at such price. On June 13, 2024 we completed the tender offer and repurchased 27,866,666 shares at a price of $ 60.00 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $ 1.672 billion, excluding fees and related expenses, pursuant to the tender offer.
In addition, on May 12, 2024, we entered into a separate stock purchase agreement with Julian C. Baker (a member of our Board of Directors), Felix J. Baker, and entities affiliated with Julian C. and Felix J. Baker, including funds advised by Baker Bros. Advisors LP (collectively, the “Baker Entities”), to repurchase up to $ 328.0 million of our common stock. This would enable the Baker Entities to maintain their ownership level as of May 9, 2024 of approximately 16.4 % of Incyte’s outstanding common stock. The Baker Entities purchase was to be at the same price per share as is determined and paid in the tender offer. On June 26, 2024, we repurchased 5,459,183 shares at a price of $ 60.00 per share for an aggregate price of approximately $ 328.0 million pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement with the Baker Entities.

Table of Contents
We account for share repurchases as retirements, whereby it reduces common stock and additional paid-in capital by the amount of the original issuance, with any excess purchase price recorded as a reduction to retained earnings (accumulated deficit). Any transaction costs, including the excise tax, directly associated with the share repurchases are included as part of the purchase price. Under this method, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock are reduced by the number of shares of common stock repurchased, and no treasury stock is recognized on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
A total of 33,325,849 common shares were repurchased during June 2024 at a price of $ 60.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 2.0 billion. We incurred $ 24.4 million in fees and expenses associated with the share repurchase, which included $ 19.1 million for excise taxes on share repurchases in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. We paid the excise tax in April 2025. These costs are recognized within (accumulated deficit) retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 as costs to repurchase our common stock. The purchased shares were cancelled and ceased to be outstanding.
Note 12. Stock Compensation
We recorded $ 64.6 million and $ 125.6 million of stock compensation expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We recorded $ 56.6 million and $ 116.4 million of stock compensation expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Stock compensation expense included within our condensed consolidated statements of operations included research and development expense of $ 37.7 million, $ 74.4 million, $ 34.5 million and $ 71.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Stock compensation expense included within our condensed consolidated statements of operations also included selling, general and administrative expense of $ 26.1 million, $ 49.5 million, $ 21.7 million and $ 44.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Stock compensation expense included within our condensed consolidated statements of operations also included cost of product revenues of $ 0.8 million, $ 1.7 million, $ 0.4 million and $ 1.0 million respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Additionally, as described in Note 6, as part of the Escient acquisition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized related compensation expense of $ 31.5 million associated with the accelerated vesting for certain Escient stock awards in connection with the acquisition on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation granted, with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Employee Stock Options Employee Stock Purchase Plan
For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,

The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Federal Reserve rate in effect at the time of grant. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to the exercise of options by our employees based on historical exercise patterns for similar type options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. A dividend yield of zero is assumed based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. Nonemployee awards are measured on the grant date by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued using the expected term, similar to our employee awards.

Our annual stock option grants generally have a 10 -year term and vest over four years , with 25 % vesting after one year and the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments, subject to customary retirement provisions that may accelerate the requisite service period for expense recognition purposes.
RSU and PSU award activity under the 2010 Stock Plan and 2024 Inducement Plan was as follows:

RSUs cancelled ( 169,673 ) $ 66.64
Balance at June 30, 2025 8,542,467 $ 67.67
RSUs and PSUs are granted to our employees at the share price on the date of grant. Each RSU represents the right to acquire one share of our common stock. Each RSU granted in connection with our annual equity awards will vest 25 % annually over four years , while each RSU granted as outstanding merit awards or as part of retention award programs will vest in a single installment at the end of four years , subject to customary retirement provisions that may accelerate the requisite service period for expense recognition purposes.
We grant PSUs with performance and/or service-based milestones with graded and/or cliff vesting over three to four years . The shares of our common stock into which each PSU may convert is subject to a multiplier based on the level at which the financial, developmental and market performance conditions are achieved over the service period. Compensation expense for PSUs with financial and developmental performance conditions is recorded over the estimated service period for each milestone when the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement. For PSUs containing performance conditions which were not deemed probable of achievement, no stock compensation expense is recorded. Compensation expense for PSUs with market performance conditions is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the date of grant and recorded over the requisite service period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 we recorded $ 6.9 million and $ 10.0 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense for PSUs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 we recorded $ 3.5 million and $ 6.9 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense for PSUs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes our shares available for grant under the 2010 Stock Plan and 2024 Inducement Plan. Previously, each RSU and PSU grant reduced the available share pool by 2 shares. In June 2025, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2010 Stock Plan to remove the fungible ratio, and all awards granted under the 2010 Stock Plan after June 10, 2025, the date of our latest annual meeting, will reduce the share reserve on a one -for-one basis. If awards granted under the 2010 Stock Plan on or prior to June 10, 2025 expire, become unexercisable or are forfeited or repurchased after that date, the shares that were subject to those awards will become available for future grant only on a one -for-one basis, even if the original award was a full value award that reduced the share reserve on a two -for-one basis. The 2024 Inducement Plan was amended in June 2025 to remove the provision that stated that any shares issued in connection with awards other than options and stock appreciation rights will be counted against the authorized share limitation as 2.0 shares for every one share so issued and, as a result, all awards granted under the 2024 Inducement Plan will reduce the share reserve thereunder on a one for one basis.

Based on our historical experience of employee turnover, we have assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5 % for our options, RSUs and PSUs. Under the true-up provisions of the stock compensation guidance, we will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than we estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than we estimated.
Total compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested, as of June 30, 2025, was $ 20.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 1.1 years. Total compensation cost of RSUs granted but not yet vested, as of June 30, 2025, was $ 171.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 1.2 years. Total compensation cost of PSUs granted but not yet vested, as of June 30, 2025, was $ 12.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.1 years, should the underlying performance conditions be deemed probable of achievement.
Note 13. Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded the following provisions for income taxes and effective tax rates as compared to our income (loss) before provision for income taxes (in thousands):
Three Months Ended
June 30, Six Months Ended
June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Income (loss) before provision for income taxes $ 558,012 $ ( 389,777 ) $ 792,202 $ ( 153,618 )
Provision for income taxes 153,013 54,824 229,000 121,435
Effective tax rate 27.4 % ( 14.1 )% 28.9 % ( 79.0 )%
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to an increase in our valuation allowance against certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. This was partially offset by tax rate benefits associated with research and development and orphan drug tax credit generations and the foreign derived intangible income deduction. Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a non-deductible charge of $ 710.9 million associated with the Escient acquisition.
23
Table of Contents
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was favorable as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an the non-deductible charge associated with the Escient acquisition in the prior year period.
We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.
One or more of our legal entities file income tax returns in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax returns may be examined by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. Significant disputes may arise with tax authorities involving issues such as the timing and amount of deductions, the use of tax credits and allocations of income and expenses among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations and relevant facts. In the U.S., the statute of limitations remains open beginning with tax year 2021. We are currently under U.S. federal audit for tax year 2021.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Pillar 2 guidelines, which were supported by over 130 countries worldwide, are designed to impose a 15% global minimum tax on adjusted financial results. We have evaluated the impact of Pillar 2 on our business, and determined there are no material impacts on our effective tax rate at this time. As countries we operate in enact legislation implementing Pillar 2, we will assess the impact on our financial statements in the period of enactment.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted legislation formally titled “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14” and commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA modified key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including but not limited to, the expensing of domestic research costs, the deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income, and the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime. The OBBBA introduces multiple elections and features various effective dates, with some provisions effective in 2025 and others in subsequent years.
Under ASC 740, entities are required to recognize the impact of new income tax legislation in the period of enactment. We are currently evaluating the OBBBA’s various provisions and elections, including their potential impact on our effective tax rate and the realizability of deferred tax assets, and intend to reflect these effects in our financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2025.

Note 15. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plans
We have a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering all U.S. employees and defined contribution plans for other Incyte employees in Europe and Japan. Employees may contribute a portion of their compensation, which is then matched by us, subject to certain limitations. Defined contribution expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $ 5.7 million and $ 11.5 million, respectively. Defined contribution expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $ 5.2 million and $ 10.6 million, respectively.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
We have defined benefit pension plans for our employees in Europe which provide benefits to employees upon retirement, death or disability. The assets of the pension plans are held in collective investment accounts represented by the cash surrender value of an insurance policy and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The net periodic benefit cost was as follows (in thousands):

Net periodic benefit cost $ 3,197 $ 2,081 $ 6,116 $ 3,948
The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are included in Other, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to contribute a total of $ 10.1 million to the pension plans in 2025 inclusive of the amounts contributed to the plan during the current period.
Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In August 2021, we entered into a revolving credit and guaranty agreement, which was subsequently amended in May 2023 and June 2024 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among Incyte Corporation, as borrower, our subsidiary Incyte Holdings Corporation, as a guarantor, a group of lenders (the “Lenders”), and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 500.0 million. The June 2024 amendment to the Credit Agreement extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from August 2024 to June 2027. We may increase the maximum revolving commitments or add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Credit Agreement, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, in an amount not to exceed (1) $ 250.0 million plus (2) an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, our pro forma consolidated leverage ratio would not exceed 0.25 :1.00 above our consolidated leverage ratio in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such increase.
25
Table of Contents
Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate (but not less than 1.00 %) plus an applicable rate per annum varying from 0.125 % to 0.875 % depending on our consolidated leverage ratio or (b) a rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % (but not less than 0.00 %), plus an applicable rate per annum varying from 1.125 % to 1.875 % depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. Commitment fees payable on the undrawn commitment range from 0.15 % per annum to 0.225 % per annum, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. We may, at our option, prepay any borrowings under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, subject to customary exceptions. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings and were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in lawsuits, proceedings, and other disputes, including commercial, intellectual property, regulatory, employment, and other matters. The outcome of these disputes, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain and it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of these matters could adversely affect us, our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We record a reserve for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
We have entered into the collaboration agreements described in Note 8, as well as various other collaboration agreements that are not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to our operating results or financial condition at this time. We may in the future seek to license additional rights relating to technologies or drug development candidates in connection with our drug discovery and development programs. Under these agreements, we may be required to pay upfront fees, milestone payments, and royalties on sales of future products.
As described in Note 8, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Novartis during May of 2025, with respect to litigation initiated by Novartis relating to the duration of royalty payments owed by us to Novartis under the Collaboration and License Agreement dated November 24, 2009, as amended, between us and Novartis.
We brought a lawsuit against the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) alleging that a recent regulation issued by CMS on the definition of “line extension” for purposes of the Medicaid rebate program is too broad and has the unintended consequence of treating OPZELURA as a “line extension” of JAKAFI under this program. We believe that such a reading would violate CMS’s statutory authority and be arbitrary and capricious given that OPZELURA, among other differentiators, is indicated to treat entirely different medical conditions and entirely different patient populations than JAKAFI. As of June 30, 2025, we have accrued approximately $ 165.2 million within accrued and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, relating to the incremental rebates that would be owed were OPZELURA considered a line extension of JAKAFI. The impact on OPZELURA gross to net deductions for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 is approximately 6.6 %. If OPZELURA is not treated as a line extension of JAKAFI, this would result in a reversal of our accrual and a lower future gross to net deduction for OPZELURA.
In addition, we have various patent disputes and litigation initiated by us related to potential generic or other competition for our products, as described under Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Commercialization of Our Products— Competition for our products could harm our business and result in a decrease in our revenue” below.
Note 17. Segment Information
We operate in one operating segment, and therefore one reportable segment, focused on the global discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics. We manage business activities on a consolidated basis through the development and commercialization of oncology and dermatology products, which are sold to U.S. and international customers. Our determination that we operate as a single operating segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods. Our chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.
The accounting policies for our single operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our single operating segment generates revenues from the development and commercialization of oncology and dermatology pharmaceutical products, which are developed by our research and development department, as well as from product royalties, milestone and contract revenues from the out-licensing of our intellectual property to third parties.
26
Table of Contents
For our segment, the chief operating decision maker uses net income or loss, that also is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as consolidated net income, to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial resources), predominantly during the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker also uses consolidated net income or loss, along with non-financial inputs and qualitative information, to evaluate our performance, establish compensation, monitor budget versus actual results, and decide the level of investment in our various operating activities and other capital allocation activities. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

In July 2025, we entered into a settlement and license agreement with Sun Pharmaceuticals, Inc., resolving patent infringement litigation related to Leqselvi (deuruxolitinib). Under this agreement, we have granted Sun a limited, non-exclusive license in the U.S. with respect to oral deuruxolitinib for certain agreed-upon non-hematology-oncology indications in the U.S., including alopecia areata. In exchange for the limited license, Sun has agreed to pay us an upfront payment plus ongoing royalty payments.
