ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of December 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K (Annual Report), to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting based on the original framework established in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
87
Table of Contents
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowances for the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowances for rebates include mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program as well as contracted rebate programs with other payors. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid and Medicare. Allowances for rebates are based upon the insurance benefits of the end customer, which are estimated using historical activity. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contracted discount rates and estimated patient utilization. The Company has recorded product revenue allowances of $76.9 million as of December 31, 2025, of which a significant portion relates to allowances for Medicaid drug rebates.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowances for the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management due to the significant measurement uncertainty when developing the estimate of the allowances and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating assumptions related to historical activity, statutory or contracted discount rates, and estimated patient utilization.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the allowances for the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. These procedures also included, among others, (i) developing an independent estimate of the allowances for Medicaid drug rebates by utilizing third-party information related to patient utilization and historical activity; (ii) comparing the independent estimate to management’s estimate to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimate; and (iii) testing, on a sample basis, transactional data underlying management’s estimate including but not limited to channel inventory and rebate claims processed by the Company, including evaluating those claims for consistency with the statutory or contractual terms of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Management continually re-

evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management’s evaluation could change. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
For purposes of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash equivalents represent highly-liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents include investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions, and commercial paper of high-quality corporate issuers. Restricted cash relates primarily to amounts held as collateral for letters of credit for office space leases at the Company’s Washington, D.C. headquarters.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total end of period cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities. The Company’s investment policy requires the selection of high-quality issuers. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether it intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value. The Company also reviews its available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the unrealized loss is the result of a change in creditworthiness or other factors. If declines in the value of available for-sale securities are determined to be credit-related, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period. Interest and dividend income is recorded when earned and included in other income. Premiums and discounts on marketable securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to earliest call date and maturity, respectively, and included in other income. The Company uses the specific identification method in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of investments, which would be included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when generated. All available-for-sale marketable securities are available for use in current operations and are classified as current.
Inventory
Inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, includes the cost of third-party manufacturing and other direct and indirect costs and is valued using the first-in, first-out method. The Company evaluates the risk of excess inventory and product expiry by evaluating current and future product demand relative to product shelf life, taking into account all possible alternative uses for the inventory available in the ordinary course of business. The Company builds demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance, patient usage and generic competition. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with its products when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. Inventory levels are evaluated for the amount of inventory that would be sold within one year. At certain times, the level of inventory can exceed the forecasted level of cost of goods sold for the next 12 months. The Company classifies the estimate of such inventory as non-current.

Asset Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-50, which requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis based on the acquisition cost, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. Any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the identifiable assets based on relative fair values.
See Note 3, PONVORY ® Acquisition , for further discussion of the Company’s acquisition of the United States (U.S.) and Canadian rights to PONVORY ® from Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Janssen), a Johnson & Johnson Company, and Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies , for further discussion of the Company’s exclusive global license agreement with AnaptysBio, Inc. (Anaptys) under which it acquired the worldwide rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize imsidolimab, both of which the Company accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50.
Intangible Assets
Costs incurred for products not yet approved by the FDA and for which no alternative future use exists are recorded as research and development expense, unless, based on management judgment, future commercialization is considered probable. Obligations for milestone payments to other pharmaceutical companies that may result in a capitalized intangible asset are recognized when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will occur. In the event a product has been approved by the FDA or an alternative future use exists for a product, patent and license costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life of the related product patents. For intangible assets related to HETLIOZ ® and NEREUS TM , the estimated useful life is through the estimated economic useful life of the related product patents.
Useful lives for acquired intangible assets accounted for under ASC 805 are generally estimated based on the market participant methodology. For intangible assets related to PONVORY ® , the estimated useful life is through the estimated economic useful life of the related acquired product patents. Intangible assets related to Fanapt ® have been fully amortized on a straight-line basis to 2016. The Fanapt ® transaction represented reacquired rights, and therefore did not reflect the impact of additional Fanapt ® patents solely owned by the Company with varying expiration dates, the latest of which is December 2031.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of most property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the related leases. The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for that period.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Determination of whether a lease is a finance or operating lease is made at lease commencement. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from that lease. For leases with a term greater than 12 months, ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. When the implicit rate is not available, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics, to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company does not combine lease and non-lease elements for office or vehicle leases.

Table of Contents
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates if events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of these assets may not be recoverable. In evaluating for recoverability, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that the balance of any asset exceeds the future undiscounted or discounted cash flow estimate, impairment is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the asset above its estimated fair value. No impairment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
The Company’s management is required to estimate accrued liabilities as part of the process of preparing financial statements. The estimation of accrued liabilities involves identifying services that have been performed on the Company’s behalf, and then estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for such services as of each balance sheet date in the financial statements. Accrued liabilities include research and development expenses, such as accrued costs under contracts with clinical monitors, data management organizations and investigators in conjunction with clinical trials, fees to contract manufacturers in conjunction with the production of clinical materials, consulting and professional fees, such as lawyers and fees for marketing and other commercialization activities, accrued compensation and employee benefits, such as accrued bonus, royalties payable under licensing agreements, and other accrued fees. Pursuant to management’s assessment of the services that have been performed on clinical trials and other contracts, the Company recognizes these expenses as the services are provided.
Revenue from Net Product Sales
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those product sales, which is typically once the product physically arrives at the customer. Sales taxes, value-added taxes, and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.
The Company’s net product sales consist of sales of Fanapt ® , HETLIOZ ® and PONVORY ® . Net sales by product for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

Since the entrance of generic competition in the first quarter of 2023, inventory levels at our specialty pharmacy customers have been elevated relative to inventory levels prior to the entrance of generic competition. The elevated levels of inventory have resulted in longer periods to resolve uncertainties related to variable consideration. HETLIOZ ® net product sales have been and may continue to be variable depending on when specialty pharmacy customers purchase again. Further, HETLIOZ ® net product sales may decline in future periods, potentially significantly, related to continued generic competition in the U.S. An amount of variable consideration related to Fanapt ® net product sales is subject to dispute, of which approximately $ 3.0 million was recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2025. An amount of variable consideration related to PONVORY ® net product sales is subject to dispute, of which approximately $ 3.0 million was recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognized $ 5.5 million and $ 3.2 million of net product sales during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for changes in estimates on variable consideration for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods across all the Company’s commercial products. The amount of net product sales recognized as a result of changes in estimates on variable consideration during the year ended December 31, 2023 was not material.
Fanapt ® is available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of wholesalers and is available in retail pharmacies. HETLIOZ ® is available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of specialty pharmacies and is not available in retail pharmacies. PONVORY ® is available in the U.S. for distribution primarily through a limited number of specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies. The Company invoices and records revenue when its customers, wholesalers, specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, receive product from the third-party logistics warehouse, which is the point at

Table of Contents
which control is transferred to the customer. Revenues and accounts receivable are concentrated with these customers. Outside the U.S., the Company has a distribution agreement for the commercialization of Fanapt ® in Israel and sells HETLIOZ ® in Germany. Receivables are carried at transaction price paid by the wholesalers, specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, net of estimated prompt pay discounts and allowance for credit losses. Payment terms differ by customer, but are based on customary commercial terms and typically range between thirty and sixty days. Allowance for credit losses is measured using historical loss rates based on the aging of receivables and incorporating current conditions and forward-looking estimates.
The following table presents each major customer that represented more than 10% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Table of Contents
The transaction price is determined based upon the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring product to the customer. The Company’s product sales are recorded net of applicable product revenue allowances for which reserves are established and include discounts, rebates, chargebacks, service fees, co-pay assistance and product returns that are applicable for various government and commercial payors. Where appropriate, the Company’s estimates of variable consideration included in the transaction price consider a range of possible outcomes. Allowances for rebates, chargebacks and co-pay assistance are based upon the insurance benefits of the end customer, which are estimated using historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which the Company has validated the insurance benefits. Variable consideration may be constrained and is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, it adjusts its estimates in the period identified, which would affect net product sales in the period such variances become known.
Reserves for variable consideration are classified as product revenue allowances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the exception of prompt-pay discounts which are classified as reductions of accounts receivable. The reserve for product returns for which the product may not be returned for a period of greater than one year from the balance sheet date is included as a component of other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Uncertainties related to variable consideration are generally resolved in the quarter subsequent to period end, with the exception of Medicaid rebates, which are dependent upon the timing of when states submit reimbursement claims, Medicare inflationary rebates, which are billed on an annual basis beginning in 2025, and product returns that are resolved during the product expiry period specified in the customer contract. Furthermore, inventory stocking of HETLIOZ ® at specialty pharmacy customers since the entrance of generic competition in early 2023 has resulted in longer periods to resolve these uncertainties related to variable consideration. The Company currently records sales allowances for the following:
• Prompt-pay: Wholesalers, specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, the Company’s direct customers, are generally offered discounts for prompt payment. The Company expects that these direct customers will earn prompt payment discounts and, therefore, deducts the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.
• Rebates: Allowances for rebates include mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program as well as contracted rebate programs with other payors, including the Medicare Part D inflationary rebate. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid and Medicare. The allowances for rebates are based on statutory or contracted discount rates and estimated patient utilization.
• Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted indirect customers purchase directly from wholesalers, specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors. Contracted indirect customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions and federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The wholesaler, specialty pharmacy or specialty distributor, in turn, charges back the difference between the price initially paid by the wholesaler, specialty pharmacy or specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the wholesaler, specialty pharmacy or specialty distributor by the contracted customer.
• Medicare Part D Rebates: Prior to January 1, 2025, the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit required manufacturers to fund approximately 70 % of the Medicare Part D insurance coverage gap for prescription drugs sold to eligible patients for applicable drugs. The Company accounted for the Medicare Part D coverage gap using a point of sale model. Beginning January 1, 2025, the Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program was replaced with a new discounting program under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Medicare Part D benefit redesign has resulted in overall higher discounts for our Medicare payor segment relative to the previous Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage gap discount program. Under the redesigned Medicare Part D program, applicable drugs dispensed to applicable beneficiaries are subject to manufacturer discounts of 10% during the initial coverage phase and 20% during the catastrophic coverage phase. Under the Medicare Part D benefit redesign, the Company is a specified manufacturer whose applicable drugs for applicable beneficiaries who are Low Income Subsidy eligible under section 1860D-14(a) of the Social Security Act are subject to lower applicable discounts during the phase-in period. Estimates for expected Medicare Part D rebates are based, in part, on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions when the Company has validated the insurance benefits.
• Service Fees: The Company receives sales order management, data and distribution services from certain customers, for which it is assessed fees. These fees are based on contracted terms and are known amounts. The Company accrues service fees at the time of revenue recognition, resulting in a reduction of product sales and the
99
Table of Contents
recognition of an accrued liability, unless it is a payment for a distinct good or service from the customer in which case the fair value of those distinct goods or services are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
• Co-pay Assistance: Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-pay assistance. Co-pay assistance utilization is based on information provided by the Company’s third-party administrator.
• Product Returns : The Company generally offers direct customers a limited right to return, as contractually defined with its customers. The Company considers several factors in the estimation process, including expiration dates of product shipped to customers, inventory levels within the distribution channel, product shelf life, historical return activity, including activity for product sold for which the return period has past, prescription trends and other relevant factors. The Company does not expect returned products to be resalable. There was no right of return asset as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. The following table summarizes activity for product returns as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, all of which relates to sales of Fanapt ® and PONVORY ® :
(in thousands) Reserve for Product Returns

The Company’s balance of rebates and chargebacks was $ 63.4 million and $ 49.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s balance of discounts, returns and other product allowances was $ 14.7 million and $ 12.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes royalties payable, the cost of inventory sold, costs to write down inventory to net realizable value, manufacturing and supply chain costs and product shipping and handling costs related to sales of its commercial products to the Company’s distribution partners.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of fees for services provided by third parties in connection with the clinical trials, costs of contract manufacturing services for clinical trial use, milestone payments made under licensing agreements prior to regulatory approval, costs of materials used in clinical trials and research and development, costs for regulatory consultants and filings, depreciation of capital resources used to develop products, related facilities costs, and salaries, other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation for research and development personnel. The Company generally expenses research and development costs as they are incurred for products in the development stage, including manufacturing costs and milestone payments made under license agreements prior to FDA approval. Upon and subsequent to FDA approval or if, based on management judgment, future commercialization is considered probable, manufacturing and milestone payments made under license agreements are capitalized. Milestone payments are accrued when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will be achieved. Costs related to the acquisition of intellectual property are expensed as incurred if the underlying technology is developed in connection with the Company’s research and development efforts and has no alternative future use.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries, other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation, and facilities and third-party expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are associated with the activities of the corporate, finance, accounting, information technology, business development, commercial support, trade and
100
Table of Contents
distribution, sales, marketing, legal, medical affairs and human resource functions. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses include an estimate for the annual Affordable Care Act fee.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation costs for all stock-based awards to employees and directors are measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee or director is required to perform service in exchange for the award. The Company recognizes the expense over the award’s vesting period. The grant date fair value of stock options granted and restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded are amortized using the straight-line method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including branded product promotional expenses, as incurred. Branded product advertising expenses, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $ 28.6 million, $ 1.9 million and $ 0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Foreign Currency
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany balances for which settlement is anticipated in the foreseeable future, are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency equity balances are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to these items will result in unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses based upon period-end exchange rates. The Company also records realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses upon settlement of the transactions. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted. Changes in ownership may limit the amount of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and tax credits that can be utilized in the future to offset taxable income. Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are recognized as a component of income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and cumulative accrued interest and penalties are recognized within the related liability line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s products under development require approval from the FDA or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance the products will receive the necessary approval. If the Company is denied approval or approval is delayed, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company.
101
Table of Contents
The Company’s products are concentrated in rapidly changing, highly competitive markets, which are characterized by rapid technological advances, increasing generic competition, changes in customer requirements and evolving regulatory requirements and industry standards. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments in its industry, challenges from new generic market entrants, changes in customer or regulatory requirements or changes in industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and future cash flows.
The Company depends on single source suppliers for critical raw materials for manufacturing, as well as other components required for the administration of its products. The loss of these suppliers could delay the clinical trials or prevent or delay commercialization of the products.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with highly rated financial institutions. At December 31, 2025, the Company maintained all of its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities in two financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and the Company believes there is minimal risk of losses on such balances.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to provide enhancements to annual income tax disclosures. The standard requires more detailed information in the rate reconciliation table and for income taxes paid, among other enhancements. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on a retrospective basis as of January 1, 2025 and included the additional required disclosures, including additional detail in the rate reconciliation table, in Note 15, Income Taxes .
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40), which addresses the disaggregation of income statement expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating this standard to determine if adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. PONVORY ® Acquisition
On December 7, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to PONVORY ® from Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Janssen), a Johnson & Johnson Company, and the closing of the transaction took place simultaneously with signing. PONVORY ® is a once-daily oral selective sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 modulator, indicated to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease. The total consideration for the acquisition was $ 104.9 million consisting of cash paid to Janssen and acquisition-related transaction costs. The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, as well as standard mutual indemnities covering losses arising from any material breach of the Purchase Agreement or inaccuracy of representations and warranties. Janssen has agreed to indemnify the Company against losses arising from its activities prior to the closing, and the Company has agreed to indemnify Janssen against losses arising from the Company’s activities pertaining to PONVORY ® after the closing. Simultaneously and in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the parties also entered into certain supporting agreements, including a customary transition agreement, pursuant to which, during a transition period, Janssen continued PONVORY ® operations. In May 2024, ownership of the U.S. New Drug Application (NDA) and Investigational New Drug applications for PONVORY ® were transferred to Vanda from a Johnson & Johnson Company, fully allowing the Company to commercialize PONVORY ® in the U.S.
The acquisition of PONVORY ® has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50 because substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, the PONVORY ® product rights. The PONVORY ® product rights consist of certain patents and trademarks, regulatory approvals, marketing assets, and other records, and are considered a single asset as they are inextricably linked. The total consideration of $ 104.9 million was
102
Table of Contents
fully allocated to the acquired intangible asset for the U.S. and Canadian rights to PONVORY ® . The straight-line method is used to amortize the intangible asset, as disclosed in Note 9, Intangible Assets .

5. Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
• Level 1 — defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
• Level 2 — defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
• Level 3 — defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions
The Company’s assets classified in Level 1 and Level 2 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 consist of cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities. The valuation of Level 1 instruments is determined using a market approach and is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The valuation of Level 2 instruments is also determined using a market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 securities include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate notes that use as their basis readily observable market parameters.
The Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025, as follows:

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will bear the primary responsibility for completing the clinical trial, and the third party will bear primary responsibility for manufacturing the clinical study product. All costs associated with the pediatric study will be shared equally by the Company and the third party. As the Company and the third party are both active participants in the research activities and both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards, the agreement is being accounted for under ASC 808. Furthermore, no parts of the agreement are within the scope of ASC 606, because the Company determined that performing research and development activities on behalf of other parties is not part of the ordinary activities of its business. Therefore, reimbursements from the third party for research and development costs are recorded as reductions to research and development expense as incurred. Expenses recognized by the Company related to activities under the collaborative arrangement, which commenced during the first quarter of 2025, were $ 4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were reduced by amounts reimbursable from the third party of $ 1.3 million.

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets each quarter through the review of all available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The analysis is highly dependent upon historical and projected pretax income. Projected pretax income includes significant assumptions related to revenue, which could be affected by the success of the commercial launches of Fanapt ® in bipolar I disorder, PONVORY ® in RMS and NEREUS TM in the prevention of vomiting induced by motion, which was approved on December 30, 2025, and HETLIOZ ® generic competition, as well as commercial and research and development activities, including spend on our commercial launches and late-stage clinical activities, and our ability to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA for products or new indications in development, among other factors. In the fourth quarter of 2025, after considering all available positive and negative evidence, including but not limited to historical, current and future projected results and significant risks and uncertainties related to forecasts, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that substantially all of its deferred tax assets are realizable in future periods and recorded a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets, resulting in a non-cash income tax expense of $ 113.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. If the Company has cumulative pretax income in future periods and/or if the Company’s projections indicate pretax income in future periods or if there are meaningful changes to the Company’s business operations, the conclusion about the appropriateness of the valuation allowance could change in a future period. A future reduction of the valuation allowance, in whole or in part, would result in a non-cash income tax benefit during the period of reduction. The potential timing and amount of any future valuation allowance release has yet to be determined and requires an analysis that is highly dependent upon historical and future projected earnings, among other factors. Any such adjustment could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2025 the Company has deferred tax assets of $ 20.6 million and $ 18.6 million related to U.S. federal and state research and development credits and orphan drug credits, respectively. Both of these tax attributes will begin to expire in 2031 . In addition, the Company has $ 8.2 million of deferred tax assets relating to other U.S. NOL carryforwards, which primarily relate to the District of Columbia. NOLs for the District of Columbia will begin to expire in 2032 and state NOLs will begin to expire in 2034 . A valuation allowance is recorded against these U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

Unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning of the year $ 18,796 $ 18,312 $ 15,485

Unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the year $ 19,575 $ 18,796 $ 18,312
The amount of uncertain tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $ 19.6 million. Generally, the tax years 2022 through 2024 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdiction to which the Company is subject. To the extent the Company has tax attribute carryforwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service, or state or foreign tax authorities, to the extent utilized in a future period.
Certain tax attributes of the Company, including NOLs and credit carryforwards, would be subject to limitation under Section 382 and 383 should an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC) occur. The limitation resulting from a change in ownership could affect the Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs and credit carryforwards (tax attributes) to offset future taxable income. An ownership change occurred in the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company believes that the ownership change in 2014 will not impact its ability to utilize NOL and credit carryforwards; however, future ownership changes may cause the Company’s existing tax attributes to have additional limitations.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which contains a broad range of tax reforms affecting businesses, was signed into law in the U.S. The OBBBA includes numerous changes to existing tax law including extending or making permanent certain business and international tax measures initially established under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which were set to expire. Additionally, the OBBBA permanently eliminates the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S.-based research and development expenditures over five years and provides the option to make these expenditures fully deductible in the period incurred. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027.
16. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potential outstanding common stock for the period. Potential outstanding common stock includes stock options and shares underlying RSUs, but only to the extent that their inclusion is dilutive, as calculated using the treasury stock method.

17. Segments
The Company operates in one reportable segment, which includes all activities related to the development and commercialization of innovative therapies to address high unmet medical needs and improve the lives of patients. The determination of a single reportable segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), which is its president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net income (loss) for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources and planning and forecasting for future periods. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

18. Legal Matters
HETLIOZ ® . In December 2022, the Company filed patent infringement lawsuits, including Hatch-Waxman Act claims, against each of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva) and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (Apotex) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (NJ District Court) asserting that U.S. Patent No. 11,285,129 (‘129 Patent), will be infringed by Teva’s and Apotex’ generic versions of HETLIOZ ® , each of which was approved by the FDA. The Company asked the NJ District Court to, among other things, order that the effective date of the FDA’s approval of Teva’s and Apotex’ generic

Table of Contents
versions of HETLIOZ ® be a date that is no earlier than the expiration of the ‘129 Patent, or such later date that the NJ District Court may determine, and enjoin each of Teva and Apotex from the commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of their generic versions of HETLIOZ ® until the expiration of the ‘129 Patent, or such later date that the NJ District Court may determine. In February 2023, the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Delaware District Court). In April 2023, Teva and Apotex moved for judgment on the pleadings. In June 2024, the Delaware District Court denied those motions, allowing the Company’s lawsuit to proceed. In March 2025, the Delaware District Court held a claim construction hearing, which resolved two claim term disputes in the Company’s favor and deferred ruling on a third dispute between the parties. In May 2025, the Delaware District Court consolidated this action with the Company’s action relating to the ‘556 Patent (as defined below). The Company’s lawsuit remains pending, and a trial is scheduled to begin on August 3, 2026.
In January 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the NJ District Court against Teva challenging Teva’s advertising and marketing practices related to its at risk launch of its generic version of HETLIOZ ® for the single indication of Non-24. The Company believes that Teva’s advertising and marketing practices related to its generic version of HETLIOZ ® promote its product for uses beyond the limited labeling that Teva sought, and the FDA approved. The Company seeks to, among other things, enjoin Teva from engaging in false and misleading advertising and recover monetary damages. In December 2023, the case was transferred to the Delaware District Court following Teva’s motion to transfer and dismiss the case earlier that year. In February 2025, the Delaware District Court denied Teva’s motion to dismiss, allowing the Company’s lawsuit to proceed. In March 2025, Teva filed its answer and asserted counterclaims against the Company for alleged violations of the Lanham Act, antitrust and state trade laws. In the same month, the Delaware District Court declined to consolidate this action with the Company’s cases alleging infringement of the ‘129 Patent and the ‘556 Patent (as defined below). In January 2026, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the case.
In January 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (DC District Court) against the FDA challenging the FDA’s approval of Teva’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for its generic version of HETLIOZ ® capsules under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), and FDA regulations. Under the FDCA, every ANDA must contain information to show that the labeling proposed for the generic drug is the same as the labeling approved for the listed drug. The labeling and packaging for HETLIOZ ® includes Braille, but Teva’s generic version does not. On this basis, the Company believes that Teva’s approved labeling does not comply with applicable requirements. The Company has asked the DC District Court to, among other things, vacate the FDA’s approval of Teva’s ANDA, declare that the approval of the ANDA was unlawful, arbitrary, and capricious and compel the FDA to order Teva to recall its generic HETLIOZ ® product. In February 2023, Teva intervened in the lawsuit as a defendant. In September 2023, the Company amended its lawsuit to request that the DC District Court set aside the FDA’s July 2023 denial of the Company’s citizen petition, originally filed with the FDA in January 2023. In April 2024, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. In February 2025, the DC District Court denied the Company’s motion and granted the FDA and Teva’s cross motions for summary judgment. In February 2025, the Company appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (DC Circuit). In October 2025, the DC Circuit granted the FDA’s motion for a stay of the briefing schedule that it filed in October 2025 due to the government shutdown, and the stay was lifted in November 2025. The Company’s appeal remains pending, and oral argument is scheduled for March 12, 2026.
In September 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the DC District Court against the FDA challenging the FDA’s approval of an ANDA filed by MSN Pharmaceuticals Inc. and MSN Laboratories Private Limited (MSN) for its generic version of HETLIOZ ® capsules under the APA, the FDCA, FDA regulations and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Company believes that MSN’s underlying approval data, particularly its bioequivalence studies, are faulty. On this basis, the Company asked the DC District Court to, among other things, vacate the FDA’s approval of MSN’s ANDA, declare that the approval of the ANDA was unlawful, arbitrary, and capricious, is unconstitutional under the Appointments Clause, and compel the FDA to order MSN to recall its generic HETLIOZ ® product. In December 2023, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. In January 2024, the FDA opposed the Company’s motion and moved to waive the administrative record, following which the court held an oral argument on the cross-motions. The DC District Court issued an order compelling the FDA to serve the administrative record and set deadlines for further proceedings. In April 2024, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. In July 2024, the DC District Court held an oral argument on the motion to dismiss that the FDA filed in January 2024, which the Company opposed in February 2024. In September 2024, the DC District Court granted in part the FDA’s motion to dismiss as to the Company’s APA claims and denied the FDA’s motion to dismiss as to the Company’s claims under the Appointments Clause. In August 2025, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment based on its Appointments Clause claims, to which the FDA filed an opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in September 2025. In January 2026, the DC District Court denied the cross-motions for summary judgment without prejudice and stayed the case pending resolution of an agency appeal. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending.

In April 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Delaware District Court against MSN and its commercial partner Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Amneal), and Impax Laboratories LLC (Impax) alleging claims for false advertising in violation of the Lanham Act and unfair competition under several state laws as well as claims for breach of express representation and fraudulent inducement of a license agreement. In July 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss and in September 2024, the Company opposed the motion, to which the defendants replied in October 2024. In July 2025, the Delaware District Court issued its report and recommendation to deny the defendants’ motion to dismiss as to standing but granted their motion to dismiss the Lanham Act claims, to which the Company objected in August 2025. In September 2025, the Delaware District Court overruled the Company’s objections. In October 2025, the Company appealed the Delaware District Court’s decision. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending.
In December 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Delaware District Court against each of Teva and Apotex asserting U.S. Patent No. 11,918,556 (‘556 Patent), a method of administration patent that was not litigated in the prior Delaware District Court cases, will be infringed by Teva’s and Apotex’s generic versions of HETLIOZ ® , each of which was approved by the FDA. The Company has asked the Delaware District Court to, among other things, order that the effective date of the FDA’s approval of Teva’s and Apotex’ generic versions of HETLIOZ ® be a date that is no earlier than the expiration of the ‘556 Patent, or such later date that the Delaware District Court may determine, and enjoin each of Teva and Apotex from the commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of their generic versions of HETLIOZ ® until the expiration of the ‘556 Patent, or such later date that the Delaware District Court may determine. In March 2025, Teva filed its answer and asserted counterclaims against the Company, including, among other things, for alleged violation of the antitrust laws and inequitable conduct, which the Company opposed in May 2025. The Delaware District Court declined to consolidate this action with the Company’s case alleging Lanham Act violations against Teva but consolidated this action with the Company’s action relating to the ‘129 Patent. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending, and a trial is scheduled to begin on August 3, 2026.
HETLIOZ LQ ® . In July 2024, the Company filed a Hatch-Waxman lawsuit against MSN in the Delaware District Court asserting that U.S. Patent Nos. 10,179,119, 11,266,622, 11,285,129, 11,850,229, 10,610,510, 10,980,770, and 11,759,446 will be infringed by MSN’s generic version of HETLIOZ LQ ® for which MSN is seeking FDA approval. In June 2025, the Company filed an amended complaint against MSN, further alleging that U.S. Patent Nos. 10,071,977, 11,566,011 and 11,918,556 (all asserted HETLIOZ LQ ® patents together, the Asserted Patents) will also be infringed by MSN’s generic version of HETLIOZ LQ ® . The Company has asked the Delaware District Court to, among other things, enter judgment that MSN has infringed at least one claim of each of the Asserted Patents by submitting or causing to be submitted its ANDA to obtain FDA approval for the commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale in the U.S. of its generic version of HETLIOZ LQ ® before the expiration of each of the Asserted Patents, enter judgment that the use of MSN’s generic version of HETLIOZ LQ ® in the U.S. before the expiration of each of the Asserted Patents will directly infringe at least one claim of each of the Asserted Patents, order that the effective date of any approval by the FDA of MSN’s generic version of HETLIOZ LQ ® be a date that is no earlier than the expiration of the last expiring Asserted Patent(s), or such later date as the Court may determine, enjoin MSN from the commercial manufacture, use, import, offer for sale and/or sale of its generic version of HETLIOZ LQ ® until the expiration of each of the Asserted Patents or such later date as the Court may determine, and award monetary damages, to the extent applicable. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending, and a trial is scheduled to begin on September 14, 2026.
Other Matters . From April 2022 to July 2024, the Company filed eighteen lawsuits in the DC District Court against the FDA to compel the FDA to produce records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding, among other matters: the FDA’s denial of the Company’s supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for HETLIOZ ® in the treatment of jet lag disorder; cases in which the FDA waived its putative requirement of a 9-month non-rodent toxicity study before drugs can be tested on human patients for extended durations; communications external to and within the FDA relating to NEREUS TM , HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® ; a warning letter that the FDA sent to the Company concerning its webpages for HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® ; the FDA’s removal of a clinical trials design presentation from its website; discipline reviews relating to the FDA’s evaluations of the Company’s sNDA for HETLIOZ ® and a third-party sNDA for jet lag; internal standard operating procedures or guidance relating to the FDA’s processing of incoming FOIA requests; and bioequivalence and other study reports submitted relating to the FDA’s consideration of tasimelteon ANDAs. Nine of these lawsuits have since been resolved in the Company’s favor and the other nine remain outstanding. The FDA has failed to respond and provide the requested documents within the statutory timeframe with respect to each of these nine outstanding cases. The Company has asked the DC District Court to, among other things, compel the FDA to comply with its obligations and declare that its lack of compliance violates FOIA.
In May 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in the DC District Court against the FDA challenging the FDA’s denial of Fast Track designation for NEREUS TM . In October 2021, the Company submitted to the FDA a request for Fast Track designation for NEREUS TM under the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). The FDAMA provides for expedited development and review of drugs that receive Fast Track designation from the FDA. Under the FDAMA, the FDA must designate a drug as a Fast Track product if it both (1) is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and (2) demonstrates the potential to address unmet medical needs for such disease or condition. Although

Fast Track designation is non-discretionary when the criteria are satisfied, the FDA denied the Company’s request for Fast Track designation. The Company does not believe that the FDA based its decision on the relevant criteria. Therefore, among other reasons, the Company maintains that the FDA’s denial is unlawful. The Company has asked the DC District Court to, among other things, set aside and vacate the FDA’s denial. An oral argument was held in January 2023. In August 2023, the DC District Court ruled against the Company. In September 2023, the Company appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and in September 2024, the Court of Appeals held an oral argument. In December 2024, the Court of Appeals affirmed the DC District Court’s ruling. In May 2025, the Company filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeals’ decision, to which the FDA filed an opposition in October 2025. In November 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for certiorari.
In September 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in the DC District Court against the FDA to compel the FDA to comply with two separate non-discretionary obligations under the FDCA and its implementing regulations: an obligation to publish a notice of an opportunity for a hearing on the Company’s sNDA for HETLIOZ ® in the treatment of jet lag disorder in the Federal Register within 180 days of the filing of the sNDA, and a separate obligation to publish the same notice within 60 days of the request for a hearing. The FDA published the notice of an opportunity for a hearing on October 11, 2022. The Company has asked the DC District Court to, among other things, compel the FDA to comply with its obligations and declare that its lack of compliance violates the FDCA and the FDA regulations. In January 2024, the DC District Court held an oral argument on dispositive cross-motions, following which the DC District Court granted in part the Company’s motion for summary judgment. The DC District Court ruled that the FDA violated the statute and ordered the FDA to either finally resolve the Company’s application or commence a hearing on or before March 5, 2024. In March 2024, the Company and the FDA filed a consent motion for entry of final judgment in the Company’s favor on its APA claim for the FDA’s unreasonable delay in resolving the hearing request, following which the FDA refused to hold a hearing or approve the Company’s sNDA for HETLIOZ ® in the treatment of jet lag disorder. The Company subsequently filed a petition for review in the DC Circuit. Under the FDCA, the FDA has an obligation to either approve an sNDA or to hold a hearing on the application’s approvability. The Company’s petition asks the DC Circuit to set aside the FDA’s order refusing to hold a hearing and refusing approval. In January 2025, the DC Circuit held an oral argument. In August 2025, the DC Circuit issued a decision in favor of the Company against the FDA, setting aside the FDA’s refusal to hold a hearing on the Company’s sNDA for HETLIOZ ® in the treatment of jet lag disorder and remanding the case back to the FDA. In October 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into a collaborative framework with the FDA for the resolution of certain of its disputes regarding HETLIOZ ® and NEREUS TM (the FDA Agreement), pursuant to which, the FDA agreed to conduct an expedited re-review of the sNDA and the Company sought a temporary abeyance in these proceedings. In January 2026, the FDA notified the Company that, following its re-review of the sNDA, it has determined that the sNDA cannot be approved in its current form. In January 2026, the Company requested that the FDA Commissioner resume hearing proceedings.
In May 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (Federal Claims Court) against the federal government for the uncompensated taking and misuse of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information. The Company believes that the FDA violated the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause by improperly providing confidential details from the Company’s drug master files for HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® to generic drug manufacturers during the FDA’s review of the manufacturers’ ANDAs. The Company has asked the Federal Claims Court to, among other things, declare that the FDA’s disclosure of the Company’s confidential commercial information constitutes a taking for purposes of the Fifth Amendment and award just compensation. The federal government filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which the Company opposed. In January 2024, the Federal Claims Court held an oral argument on the motion to dismiss, following which the Federal Claims Court issued a decision denying in part the government’s motion, allowing the Company’s takings claim to proceed. In April 2024, the government filed a judgment on the pleadings, to which the Company opposed in July 2024 and the government replied in August 2024. In December 2024, the Federal Claims Court held an oral argument on the motion for judgment on the pleadings and in January 2025, the Federal Claims Court ruled against the Company. In February 2025, the Company appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company’s appeal remains pending.
In February 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit in the DC District Court against the FDA to compel the FDA to comply with its statutory obligations under the FDCA and its implementing regulations, and to challenge the FDA’s complete response letter and 60-day filing regulations, which the Company believes do not absolve the FDA of its statutory responsibilities. Under the FDCA, the FDA has an obligation to either approve the Company’s sNDA for HETLIOZ ® in the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep initiation within 180 days of the filing of the sNDA or give the Company a notice of an opportunity for a hearing. The Company submitted the sNDA on May 4, 2023. The Company has asked the DC District Court to, among other things, compel the FDA to comply with its obligations, declare that its lack of compliance violates the FDCA and the FDA regulations and declare the FDA’s complete response letter and 60-day filing regulations unlawful. In June 2024, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment and the FDA published a notice of opportunity for a hearing. In July 2024, the FDA opposed the Company’s motion for summary judgment. In September 2024, the DC District Court held an oral argument on the dispositive cross motions. In March and April 2025, the parties provided supplemental briefing. In May 2025,

the DC District Court held a further hearing on the supplemental briefings. In September 2025, the Company filed a motion to stay proceedings in the case until January 2026 pursuant to the FDA Agreement. In January 2026, the Company and the FDA asked the DC District Court to lift the abeyance. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending.
In August 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit against the FDA in the DC District Court challenging FDA decisionmakers’ authority under the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution to render a decision on the Company’s new drug application for NEREUS TM to treat symptoms of gastroparesis. In September 2024, the Company filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the FDA from subjecting the Company’s NDA for NEREUS TM for the treatment of symptoms of gastroparesis to a final decision prior to the PDUFA target date of September 18, 2024. In September 2024, the DC District Court denied the motion. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment in December 2024, and in January 2025, the FDA opposed the motion and cross-moved to dismiss and for summary judgment. In February 2025, the Company filed its reply and opposition, to which the FDA replied in March 2025. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending.
In January 2025, the Company and a co-plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Florida District Court) challenging the FDA’s partial clinical hold preventing the Company from studying the effects of NEREUS TM for the prevention of motion sickness for more than 90 total doses per patient over a period of two years. The FDA based its partial clinical hold on the Company’s refusal to perform a repeat-dose toxicity study in a non-rodent species of at least a 6-month duration. However, under the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, nonclinical studies may include non-animal alternatives. The Company believes that the FDA’s basis for the partial clinical hold is contrary to law and in excess of the FDA’s statutory authority. The Company and co-plaintiff have asked the Florida District Court to, among other things, set aside the FDA’s partial clinical hold and declare the FDA’s partial clinical hold as unlawful. In March 2025, the FDA moved to dismiss the lawsuit and subsequently moved to stay summary judgment briefing in April 2025. The Company subsequently opposed the FDA’s motion to stay, following which the Florida District Court granted the FDA’s motion. In October 2025, the Company dismissed the case pursuant to the FDA Agreement.
In February 2025, the Company filed a lawsuit in the DC District Court against the FDA to compel the FDA to comply with its statutory obligations under the FDCA and its implementing regulations and to challenge the FDA’s reliance on PDUFA deadlines and its complete response letter and 60-day filing regulations, which the Company believes do not absolve the FDA of its statutory responsibilities. Under the FDCA, the FDA has an obligation to either approve the Company’s NDA for NEREUS TM to prevent vomiting induced by motion within 180 days of the filing of the NDA or give the Company a notice of an opportunity for a hearing. The Company submitted the NDA on December 30, 2024. The Company has asked the DC District Court to, among other things, compel the FDA to comply with its obligations, declare that its lack of compliance violates the FDCA and the FDA regulations and declare the FDA’s complete response letter and 60-day filing regulations and adherence to PDUFA deadlines unlawful. Separately, under the FDCA, the FDA has an obligation to commence a hearing on the Company’s NDA for NEREUS TM in gastroparesis within 120 days of a timely accepted notice of opportunity for a hearing, which the FDA issued on January 7, 2025. In April 2025, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment regarding its motion sickness NDA and requested to file summary judgment regarding its gastroparesis NDA. In May 2025, the DC District Court held a hearing on the motion regarding the motion sickness NDA, and the FDA approved the motion sickness NDA in December 2025. The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research issued a proposed order denying a hearing on the gastroparesis NDA in July 2025. In September 2025, the Company filed a motion to stay proceedings in the DC District Court regarding the gastroparesis NDA until January 2026 pursuant to the FDA Agreement. In January 2026, the Company and the FDA asked the DC District Court to lift the abeyance. The Company’s lawsuit remains pending.
In April 2025, the Company filed a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit seeking review of the FDA’s final order refusing to hold a hearing or to approve the Company’s sNDA for HETLIOZ ® in the treatment of insomnia associated with difficulties with sleep initiation. Under the FDCA, the FDA has an obligation to either approve an sNDA or to hold a hearing on the application’s approvability. The Company’s petition asks the DC Circuit to set aside the FDA’s order refusing to hold a hearing and refusing approval. The Company’s petition for review remains pending.
In April 2025, the Company and two co-plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Texas District Court) challenging the FDA’s prohibition of the Company’s proposal to disclose truthful, non-misleading information to prescribers and patients, including the co-plaintiffs, about the off-label use of HETLIOZ ® to treat jet lag disorder. The Company believes that the FDA’s prohibition of truthful, non-misleading speech promoting off-label uses of drugs is content-based speech regulation and unconstitutional under the First Amendment. The Company has asked the Texas District Court to, among other things, declare that the Company has a right under the First Amendment to engage in truthful, non-misleading speech regarding the potential use of HETLIOZ ® as a treatment for jet lag disorder and enjoin the FDA from taking adverse action against the Company relating to such communications. In July 2025, the FDA moved to stay case deadlines pending resolution of a forthcoming motion that it will file to dismiss or transfer the case. In October 2025, the Company dismissed the case pursuant to the FDA Agreement.
