NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Business
Novavax, Inc. (“Novavax,” and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) tackles some of the world’s most pressing health challenges with its scientific expertise in vaccines and its proven technology platform, including its Matrix-M™ adjuvant and protein-based nanoparticles.
The Company’s corporate growth strategy is designed to deliver value via three key strategic pillars: partnering its technology, capital-efficient R&D innovation, and a lean and efficient operating model supporting our efforts. This includes maximizing the impact of its cutting-edge technology through existing partnerships for commercial marketed products (Nuvaxovid, R21/Matrix-M™), and by forging new partnerships for its Matrix technology and research and development (R&D) assets.
All references to “Nuvaxovid TM ” or “COVID-19 Vaccine” refer to the Company’s Nuvaxovid™ COVID-19 vaccine; all references to "JN.1 COVID-19 Vaccine" refer to the Company’s Nuvaxovid™ COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 vaccination season.
Currently, the Company significantly depends on its supply agreement with Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. (“SII”) and its subsidiary, Serum Life Sciences Limited (“SLS” and together with SII, “Serum”), for co-formulation, filling, and finishing of its COVID-19 Vaccine.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote information normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novavax, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The aggregate foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency were a $ 4.2 million gain, and a $ 12.6 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are reflected in Other income, net.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Results for this or any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The Company operates in one business segment.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty described below.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $ 794.9 million, comprised of $ 228.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $ 4.6 million in restricted cash, and $ 562.0 million in
6
marketable securities, and working capital of $ 508.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a net loss of $ 9.5 million and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $ 32.4 million.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, the Company evaluated its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. Based on the Company’s current cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities balances and the Company's current cash flow forecast for the one-year going concern look forward period, the Company has concluded that it expects to have sufficient capital available to fund its operations for the one-year period from the date that these financial statements are issued.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB ASC with the SEC's regulations. The effective date for each amendment in the ASU is the effective date that the SEC removes the disclosure requirement from its regulations. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2023-06; however, as the ASU codifies SEC regulations, the Company does not anticipate that its implementation will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). The ASU includes enhanced disclosure requirements, which mandate transparency in financial statements by requiring detailed disclosures of specific expenses like inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) An Amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies that public business entities are required to adopt the ASU 2024-03 guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). This standard is intended to improve the operability and application of guidance related to capitalized software development costs and becomes effective January 1, 2028. The Company is assessing the potential impact this ASU may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures upon adoption.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting: Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). The ASU is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting , and clarify when it applies. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The ASU also includes a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The ASU is required to be adopted for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the financial disclosures.
Adopted
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract (“ASU 2025-07”). The guidance in ASU 2025-07 expands the scope exceptions within ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , to include certain non exchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract, including
7
research and development funding arrangements. The standard is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the amendments either prospectively for contracts entered into on or after the date of adoption or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for contracts that exist as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2025-07 prospectively during the interim period ended March 31, 2026. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

As of March 31, 2026, marketable securities were comprised of $ 232.7 million of treasury securities, of which $ 121.2 million mature in 2026, $ 91.6 million mature in 2027, and $ 19.9 million mature in 2028; $ 296.7 million of corporate debt securities, of which $ 197.4 million mature in 2026 and $ 99.3 million mature in 2027; and $ 32.5 million of agency securities that mature in 2027. As of December 31, 2025, marketable securities were comprised of $ 220.3 million of treasury securities, of which $ 162.4 million mature in 2026 and $ 57.9 million mature in 2027; $ 260.2 million of corporate debt securities, of which $ 250.9 million mature in 2026 and $ 9.3 million mature in 2027; and $ 14.0 million in agency securities that mature in 2027. Marketable securities are classified as Current assets in the Company’s Consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized interest income of $ 7.1 million and $ 8.0 million, respectively, from its marketable securities. This income is included within Other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. Based on the Company’s policy under the expected credit loss model, including an assessment of the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that any unrealized losses for its marketable securities were not attributable to credit and therefore an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded. As of March 31, 2026, the Company does not have the intent to sell its marketable securities with an unrealized loss position, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery of amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company held no securities that were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.

(1) Classified as cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Includes $ 14.9 million classified as Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, on the consolidated balance sheets.
(3) Classified as Long-term debt as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fixed-income investments categorized as Level 2 are valued at the custodian bank by a third-party pricing vendor’s valuation models that use verifiable observable market data, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals and credit spreads, bids provided by brokers or dealers, or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Pricing of the Company’s convertible notes has been estimated using observable inputs, including the price of the Company’s common stock, implied volatility, interest rates, and credit spreads.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any transfers between levels.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into a Credit, Security, and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Financial Trust, which provides for a senior secured term loan facility of up to $ 330.0 million, of which $ 50.0 million was funded at closing (see Note 11). Since the term loan was recently issued at market terms and bears interest at a variable rate based on the one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 5.00 %, its funded amount of $ 50.0 million approximates its fair value as of March 31, 2026.
The amount in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates its fair value due to its short-term nature.
Note 5 – Revenue
The Company's accounts receivable included $ 19.1 million and $ 95.6 million related to amounts that were billed to customers and $ 4.2 million and $ 10.8 million related to amounts which had not yet been billed to customers as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. To estimate the allowance for credit losses, the Company evaluates the credit risk related to its customers based on historical loss experience, economic conditions, the aging of receivables, and customer-specific risks.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, changes in the Company’s deferred revenue balance were as follows (in thousands):
Balance, Beginning of Period Additions Deductions Balance, End of Period
Deferred revenue (1) :
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 498,996 13,550 ( 64,501 ) 448,045
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 1,121,886 — ( 603,995 ) 517,891
(1) Deductions from Deferred revenue generally relate to the recognition of revenue once performance obligations on a contract with a customer are met. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, deductions include $ 44.5 million related to revenue recognized for R&D transition services that support further regulatory approval and development of the COVID-19 Vaccine (“Sanofi Transition Services”) and supply sales with Sanofi; $ 10.3 million of Licensing, royalties, and other revenue from other partners; and $ 9.6 million of Nuvaxovid™ sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, deductions include $ 555.7 million related to the Canada Advanced Purchase Agreement (“APA”) termination.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied), excluding amounts related to sales-based royalties and constrained variable consideration, was $ 0.6 billion, of which $ 0.4 billion is included in Deferred revenue. Failure to meet regulatory milestones, obtain timely supportive recommendations from governmental advisory committees, or achieve product volume or delivery timing obligations may require the Company to refund portions of upfront and other payments or result in reduced future payments, which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to realize revenue from its unsatisfied performance obligations. The timing and the Company’s ability to fulfill performance obligations related to APAs will depend on the timing of product manufacturing, receipt of marketing authorizations for its updated COVID-19 Vaccine, delivery of doses based on customer demand, and the ability of the customer to request the Company’s updated vaccine under certain of the Company’s APAs. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company received written notice of a $ 23.0 million claim related to certain performance obligations under an APA agreement with a customer. The Company believes it has fulfilled the requirements related to this matter and is evaluating the merits of the claim. The timing to fulfill performance obligations related to the Sanofi Collaboration and License Agreement (“Sanofi CLA”) will depend on the timing of Sanofi Transition Services and services related to the technology transfer of the existing manufacturing process for the COVID-19 Vaccine Products and Matrix-M™ adjuvant (the “Sanofi Technology Transfer”) and delivery of doses and other materials based on Sanofi demand.
Under an APA with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (“Gavi”), entered into in May 2021 (the “Gavi APA”), and a Termination and Settlement Agreement with Gavi, entered into in February 2024, (the “Gavi Settlement Agreement”) terminating the Gavi APA, the Company is responsible for deferred payments, in equal annual amounts of $ 80 million payable each calendar year through a deferred payment term ending December 31, 2028. The deferred payments are due in variable quarterly installments and total $ 400 million during the deferred payment term. Such deferred payments may be reduced through Gavi’s use of an annual vaccine credit equivalent to the unpaid balance of such deferred payments each year, which may be applied to qualifying sales of any of the Company’s vaccines for supply to certain low-income and lower-middle income countries. The Company has the right to price the vaccines offered to such low-income and lower-middle income countries in its discretion, and, when utilized by Gavi, the Company will credit the actual price per vaccine paid against the applicable credit. The Company intends to price vaccines offered via the tender process, consistent with its shared goal with Gavi to provide equitable access to those countries. Also, pursuant to the Gavi Settlement Agreement, the Company granted Gavi an additional credit of up to $ 225 million that may be applied against qualifying sales of any of the Company’s vaccines for supply to such low-income and lower-middle income countries that exceed the $ 80 million deferred payment amount in any calendar year during the deferred payment term. In total, the Gavi settlement agreement is comprised of $ 700 million of potential consideration, consisting of the $ 75 million initial settlement payment, deferred payments of up to $ 400 million that may be reduced through annual vaccine credits, and the additional credit of up to $ 225 million that may be applied for certain qualifying sales.
As of March 31, 2026, the remaining amounts included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet were $ 225.0 million in non-current Deferred revenue for the additional credit that may be applied against future qualifying sales, $ 80.0 million in Other current liabilities, and $ 160.0 million in Other non-current liabilities. In addition, the Company and Gavi entered into a security agreement pursuant to which Novavax granted Gavi a security interest in accounts receivable from SII under the SII R21 Agreement (see Note 6), which will continue for the deferred payment term of the Gavi Settlement Agreement.

(1) Nuvaxovid TM sales are sales of the Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine associated with APAs with governments and commercial markets, where the Company is the commercial lead for sales and distribution, made through pharmaceutical wholesale distributors.
(2) Supply sales include commercial sales of COVID-19 Vaccine, adjuvant sales, and other material sales to the Company’s partners.
The Company has an APA with the Commonwealth of Australia (“Australia”) for the purchase of doses of COVID-19 Vaccine (the “Australia APA”). In December 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Australia APA pursuant to which, among other things, the Company acknowledged the cancellation by Australia of the delivery of certain doses of the Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine scheduled for delivery between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2025 and the Company agreed to credit approximately $ 31 million of the advanced payment paid by Australia to the Company against outstanding invoices and invoices for the future delivery of approximately three million doses of COVID-19 Vaccine without requiring additional cash payments. In addition, the amendment provides for certain remedies for Australia, including return of unused credit, cancellation of doses, or termination of the Australia APA, in the event the Company is unable to gain regulatory approval of a variant COVID-19 Vaccine or supply doses per the terms of the agreement. Specifically, Australia did not take delivery of doses that were due to be delivered in 2025 and may seek to cancel the future delivery of the 2025 as well as 2026 doses. If the Company is unable to provide doses per the supply schedule as amended, after six months, Australia may seek to terminate the APA. The amendment also provides Australia with the right to cancel doses if the Company fails to timely notify Australia of changes to the Company’s commercialization plans. In the event that the Company does not, on or before the relevant contractual deadlines, receive regulatory approval for, and deliver, the seasonally updated COVID-19 Vaccine, up to $ 92.5 million of deferred revenue may become refundable. As of March 31, 2026, $ 48.4 million was classified as current Deferred revenue and $ 85.4 million was classified as non-current Deferred revenue with respect to the Australia APA on the consolidated balance sheet, which will be recognized in product revenue as doses are delivered to Australia. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company withdrew its application for its COVID-19 Vaccine based on recommendations made by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. The parties are in ongoing discussions regarding outstanding issues and obligations under the APA. In light of these developments, the Company may seek to further amend the Australian APA, which amendment may not be achievable on acceptable terms or at all.

Note 6 – Collaboration, License, and Supply Agreements
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s material collaborations, license, and supply agreements were as follows:
Sanofi
In May 2024, Novavax entered into the Sanofi CLA, to co-commercialize the Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine, including future updated versions that address seasonal COVID-19 variants. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company continued to commercialize its COVID-19 Vaccine through the end of the 2024-2025 vaccination season. Beginning in 2025 and continuing during the term of the Sanofi CLA, the Company and Sanofi will commercialize the COVID-19 Vaccine worldwide in accordance with a commercialization plan agreed by the parties, under which Novavax will continue to supply certain of its existing APA customers and strategic partners, including Takeda and SII. Upon completion of the existing APAs, the Company and Sanofi will jointly agree on commercialization activities of each party in each jurisdiction. Sanofi has the right to develop novel influenza-COVID-19 combination vaccines utilizing the Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine and Sanofi’s seasonal influenza vaccine, combination products containing the Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine and one or more non-influenza vaccines, and multiple new vaccines utilizing the Company’s Matrix-M™ adjuvant. The Company is also responsible for performing services related to Sanofi Technology Transfer. Until the successful completion of such transfer, the Company will supply Sanofi with both COVID-19 Vaccine products and Matrix-M™ adjuvant intermediary components for Sanofi’s use
12
and is eligible for reimbursement of such costs from Sanofi. In addition, the Company is responsible for Sanofi Transition Services and, in certain cases, is eligible for reimbursement of such costs from Sanofi.
Pursuant to the Sanofi CLA, the Company is eligible to receive development, technology transfer, launch, and sales milestone payments for COVID-19 Vaccine products, COVID-19-Influenza Products (“CIC Products”), and Adjuvant products. The Company is also eligible to receive royalty payments on Sanofi’s sales of such licensed products.
The Company is eligible to receive milestone payments totaling up to $ 350 million in the aggregate with respect to the COVID-19 Vaccine products, of which $ 75 million due upon completion of the technology transfer of the Company’s manufacturing process for the COVID-19 Vaccine products to Sanofi remains outstanding, and royalty payments in the high teens to low twenties percent on Sanofi’s sales of such licensed products. During the three month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $ 3.5 million of royalties on Sanofi sales of COVID-19 Vaccine products.
The Company is eligible to receive milestone payments totaling up to $ 350 million in the aggregate with respect to the CIC Products and this total amount is outstanding. The Company is eligible to receive a $ 125 million milestone payment upon achievement of initiation of a Sanofi CIC Product Phase 3 trial and a $ 225 million CIC Product-related launch milestone. The Company is eligible to receive royalty payments in the high teens to low twenties percent on Sanofi’s sales of such licensed products.
The Company is also eligible to receive development, launch, and sales milestone payments of up to $ 200 million for each of the first four Adjuvant Products and $ 210 million for each Adjuvant Product thereafter, and mid-single digit sales royalties for 20 years on Sanofi’s sales of all such licensed products. In addition, a portion of the technology transfer costs and R&D costs incurred by the Company will be reimbursed by Sanofi in accordance with agreed upon plans and budgets.
The Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer are recognized in revenue over time using an input method to measure progress by utilizing costs incurred to-date relative to total expected costs. Revenue recognized related to Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 was $ 45.4 million and $ 40.3 million, respectively. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 includes a deferred revenue balance of $ 4.7 million ($ 2.2 million included in Deferred revenue, current portion and $ 2.5 million included in Deferred revenue, non-current portion) related to Sanofi Transition Services and Sanofi Technology Transfer. The Company recognized a cumulative catch-up adjustment related to changes in estimates, which resulted in an increase to revenue of $ 6.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2026. These changes in estimates resulted from changes in total expected costs and changes to estimates of variable consideration from expected cost reimbursements.
The Company recognized an asset for $ 35.0 million of direct costs incurred to obtain the Sanofi CLA. These costs are amortized to expense over the expected period of the benefit in a manner that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods and services in the Sanofi CLA. The Company recognized $ 0.9 million of amortization expense related to the asset in Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, $ 1.4 million of these costs remain to be amortized.
Pfizer
In January 2026, the Company entered into a License and Option Agreement with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) (“Pfizer License Agreement”) for use of the Company’s Matrix-M™ adjuvant. Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer obtained a non-exclusive license for Matrix-M™ adjuvant for use with Pfizer's products in up to two disease areas (the “Fields”). The agreement provides for an upfront payment of $ 30 million. The Company is eligible to receive up to an additional $ 500 million in milestone payments under the Pfizer License Agreement comprised of: (i) up to $ 70 million in development milestones for each of the Fields; and (ii) up to $ 180 million in sales milestones for each of the Fields. In addition to the potential milestone payments, the Company is eligible to receive tiered high mid-single digit percentage royalties on quarterly net sales on a product-by-product country-by-country basis. The term of such royalties would extend from the first commercial sale of such product until the later of (i) twenty years or (ii) the product is no longer covered by a valid patent right.
The Company has determined that the Pfizer License Agreement represents a contract under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) with a single performance obligation: the delivery of a license for Matrix-M™ adjuvant for use with Pfizer's products in up to two disease areas. This performance obligation is considered functional intellectual property and distinct from other promises under the contract as Pfizer can benefit from the license on its own or together with other readily available resources. In addition, the Company will recognize revenue on optional purchases of Matrix-M™ adjuvant upon delivery to Pfizer.
13
The Company determined the initial transaction price at inception of the Pfizer License Agreement to be the $ 30 million upfront payment, which was recognized upon the delivery of the license in the first quarter of 2026. The Company excluded the development milestones from the transaction price as they were determined to be inherently uncertain of achievement and are highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s control. Sales-based royalties and sales-based milestones will be recognized in revenue in the period that sales are made or sales milestones are achieved pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception under ASC 606. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
Takeda
In April 2025, the Company entered into a collaboration and exclusive license agreement, as amended (“Amended Takeda CLA”), with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) which amended and superseded its collaboration and exclusive license agreement with Takeda, dated February 24, 2021 (“Original Takeda CLA”). The Original Takeda CLA, which granted Takeda an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the COVID-19 Vaccine in Japan, has been amended so that Takeda may develop and commercialize a strain for the COVID-19 Vaccine that is different from the strain that the Company selects for the year, provided such Takeda selected strain must be procured from the Company. Under the Amended Takeda CLA, Takeda will continue to purchase the Company’s Matrix-M™ adjuvant to manufacture doses of finished COVID-19 Vaccine with updated adjuvant forecast and other supply terms. The Company will also perform annual support services for Takeda’s regulatory and commercialization activities (“Takeda Support Services”).
In connection with the Amended Takeda CLA, on April 29, 2025, the Company entered into a release agreement with Takeda under which the Company released Takeda and Takeda released the Company from all claims that were asserted or could have been asserted by either party against the other party that related to the Original Takeda CLA and the activities thereunder.
On an annual basis, the Company will receive $ 2.0 million to compensate it for services provided by the Company under the Amended Takeda CLA. If Takeda receives marketing approval of the COVID-19 Vaccine in that year or such approval is not necessary for such year, the Company will receive an additional $ 8.0 million annual milestone payment, of which $ 5.0 million is creditable against royalties owed by Takeda in its fiscal year 2025 or thereafter. The Company is eligible to receive a tiered royalty as a percentage of Takeda’s, its affiliates’, and sublicensees’ total net sales in the mid to high-teen percentages (subject to certain capped royalty reductions), commencing on April 1, 2024 and will continue until the later of (a) twenty years after April 29, 2025, (b) all the Company’s know-how licensed under the Amended Takeda CLA has become publicly available through no fault of Takeda, and (c) the expiration of the last valid claim in the intellectual property rights licensed by the Company to Takeda under the Amended Takeda CLA covering COVID-19 Vaccine in Japan. The transaction price excludes annual milestone payments and annual support payments that are not due in the event that the Amended Takeda CLA is terminated by Takeda after the 18-month notice period. Sales-based royalties and annual milestones relate to the license delivered to Takeda for which the Company will recognize revenue in the period that sales are made or annual milestones are achieved pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception under ASC 606. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $ 0.7 million of royalty revenue and $ 0.1 million for Takeda Support Services.
14
Serum
The Company previously granted SII exclusive and non-exclusive licenses for the development, co-formulation, filling and finishing, registration, and commercialization of its COVID-19 Vaccine and its CIC vaccine candidate. SII agreed to purchase the Company's Matrix-M™ adjuvant and the Company granted SII a non-exclusive license to manufacture the antigen drug substance component of the Company’s COVID-19 Vaccine in SII’s licensed territory solely for use in the manufacture of COVID-19 Vaccine. The Company and SII equally split the revenue from SII’s sale of COVID-19 Vaccine in its licensed territory, net of agreed costs. In May 2024, the Company and SLS entered into a supply agreement (the “SLS Supply Agreement”) under which SLS agreed to supply the Company with antigen drug substance and finished COVID-19 Vaccine doses. The SLS Supply Agreement includes the general terms and conditions of supply orders between the Company and SLS. The Company and SLS execute firm purchase orders, which include specific quantities to be delivered under the SLS Supply Agreement. The Company agreed to supply SLS with all Matrix-M™ adjuvant needed to manufacture finished COVID-19 Vaccine doses. In August 2022, the Company and SII entered into an influenza license agreement under which the Company granted SII licenses to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain vaccine products including influenza vaccine products and influenza and CIC and is obligated for the purchase up to approximately $ 34 million of certain raw materials under related agreements with SII. In June 2025, the Company announced results of the initial cohort of its clinical study for its influenza and CIC vaccine candidates with the intent of partnering these programs. In March 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with SII that granted SII a non-exclusive license for the use of Matrix-M™ adjuvant supplied by the Company to develop, manufacture, and commercialize R21/Matrix-M™ (“SII R21 Agreement”), a malaria vaccine created by the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford (“R21/Matrix-M™”). In December 2023, R21/Matrix-M™ received prequalification by the World Health Organization (“WHO”). Under the SII R21 Agreement, SII purchases the Company's Matrix-M™ adjuvant for use in development activities at cost and for commercial purposes at a tiered commercial supply price, and pays a royalty in the single-to low- double-digit range based on vaccine sales for a period of 15 years after the first commercial sale of the vaccine in each country.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options and SARs) that would have been received by the holders had all stock option and SAR holders exercised their stock options and SARs on March 31, 2026. This amount is subject to change based on changes to the closing price of the Company's common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options and SARs exercises and vesting of RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was approximately $ 24 million and $ 16 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The ESPP was approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in June 2013. The ESPP currently authorizes an aggregate of 2.4 million shares of common stock to be purchased, and the aggregate number of shares will continue to increase 5 % on January 1 of each year up to a maximum of 3.5 million shares. The ESPP allows employees to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at each purchase date through payroll deductions of up to a maximum of 15 % of their compensation, at 85 % of the lesser of the market price of the shares at the time of purchase or the market price on the beginning date of an option period (or, if later, the date during the option period when the employee was first eligible to participate). As of March 31, 2026, there were 0.4 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.
Note 14 – Income Taxes
The Company evaluates the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. Significant pieces of objective evidence evaluated by the Company were the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended March 31, 2026 and that the Company has historically generated pretax losses. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, as of March 31, 2026, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, except to the extent Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) have been used to reduce taxable income.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $ 1.0 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, which consists of foreign income tax and foreign withholding tax expense.

Note 16 – Restructuring
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company continued its global restructuring and cost reduction efforts that were initially announced in May 2023 (the 2023 plan combined with subsequent period efforts is referred to as the “Restructuring Plan”).

In connection with this closing, the Company was legally relieved of its primary obligation under the original lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company derecognized the right-of-use asset and the related lease liability for 700QO, which was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025. No additional impairment adjustments were recorded as a result of the closing of this transaction.
