ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are a commercial-stage company with a late-stage pipeline committed to redefining what is possible in bringing life-changing therapeutics to people living with rare diseases. We are focused on expanding patient access through geographic expansion opportunities, progressing and increasing our pipeline, and delivering meaningful therapeutics. Our vision is realized through disciplined execution of our strategic plan and our core values — patient centricity, integrity, accountability, innovation, and courage — which guide our efforts to deliver long-term value. The commercialization of our lead product, marketed in the United States for Niemann-Pick disease type C ("NPC"), a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disorder, provides a strong corporate foundation and demonstrates our ability to advance therapies from development to market.
In February 2023, we changed our name to Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. Zevra is the Greek word for zebra, which is the internationally recognized symbol for rare disease. This name reflects our intense focus and dedication to developing transformational, patient-focused therapies for rare diseases with limited or no treatment options available, or treatment areas with significant unmet needs.
Our strategic plan is focused on transforming Zevra into a leading rare-disease company. We are prioritizing the commercialization and global expansion of our lead product, MIPLYFFA (arimoclomol), while OLPRUVA remains commercially available. We are also advancing the development of our clinical stage asset, celiprolol, and plan to further expand our pipeline through inorganic growth. We intend to become the preferred partner for assets that we believe will allow us to leverage the expertise and infrastructure that we have built to help mitigate risk and enhance our probability of success.
On September 20, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for MIPLYFFA, for use in combination with miglustat for the treatment of neurological manifestations of NPC in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older, and MIPLYFFA became commercially available for dispense in the United States in November 2024. In connection with this approval, we received a transferable rare pediatric disease priority review voucher (“PRV”). On April 1, 2025, we consummated the sale of the PRV, resulting in net proceeds of $148.3 million to us. Arimoclomol has also been granted orphan medicinal product designation for the treatment of NPC by the European Commission. We are pursuing regulatory approval of arimoclomol in Europe and filed a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in July 2025; the application is currently under review.
On November 17, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Acer Therapeutics, Inc. (“Acer”), pursuant to which Acer became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zevra. This included the acquisition of OLPRUVA (sodium phenylbutyrate) for oral suspension, which was approved by the FDA on December 27, 2022, for the treatment of certain urea cycle disorders (“UCDs”). In addition, we acquired Acer's pipeline of investigational product candidates, including celiprolol for the treatment of Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS) in patients with a confirmed type III collagen (COL3A1) mutation.
On March 13, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase and Settlement Agreement (the “Commave Settlement Agreement”) with Commave Therapeutics SA (“Commave”) to sell all of our rights to certain assets relating to our SDX portfolio, including AZSTARYS and KP1077, to Commave and to resolve pending litigation related to claims arising under the Collaboration and License Agreement between the parties dated September 3, 2019, as amended (the “AZSTARYS License Agreement”). Under the Commave Settlement Agreement, the AZSTARYS License Agreement was terminated in its entirety.
We have had recurring negative net operating cash flows throughout our operating history, and we cannot guarantee or predict when we may begin to consistently generate positive net cash flows from operations, if at all. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, was $6.1 million and $(8.2) million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and minimal positive net cash flows from operations or negative net cash flows from operations for the near future, and those expenses and losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. We anticipate that our expenses will fluctuate substantially as we:

MIPLYFFA
NPC is an ultra-rare and progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by an inability of the body to transport cholesterol and lipids inside of cells. Symptoms of NPC include a progressive impairment of mobility, cognition, speech, and swallowing, often culminating in premature death. The incidence of NPC is estimated to be one in 100,000 to 130,000 live births. We estimate that there are approximately 2,000 individuals with NPC in the United States and Europe combined, of which approximately 900 are in the United States and 1,100 are in Europe, where there is a mature market with an approved treatment available for NPC. Of this estimated population, approximately 300 to 350 people have been diagnosed in the United States. NPC is clinically heterogenous, with significant variability in symptom presentation and rate of progression. Although it has traditionally been considered a pediatric disease due to its genetic origins, nearly half of the people treated with MIPLYFFA are adults. Low diagnostic rates may affect the number of potential patients, and we believe that the availability of treatment options in the United States could increase awareness of the disease and assist in more accurately identifying patients.
On September 20, 2024, the FDA approved the NDA for MIPLYFFA, an orally-delivered treatment, for NPC. MIPLYFFA, the first FDA-approved treatment for NPC, is indicated for use in combination with miglustat for the treatment of neurological manifestations of NPC in adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older. In addition, we received a transferable rare pediatric disease PRV in conjunction with the approval. On April 1, 2025, we completed the sale of the PRV and received net proceeds of $148.3 million.
Effective therapies to treat NPC are desperately needed, and, for this reason, arimoclomol is currently being made available to NPC patients in France, Germany, and other EU member states, along with select territories outside of Europe under our global EAP.

Table of Contents
Arimoclomol has also been granted orphan medicinal product designation for the treatment of NPC by the European Commission. In July 2025, we filed an MAA, which is under review by the EMA.
As of March 31, 2026, there were a total of 170 enrollments to receive MIPLYFFA. For MIPLYFFA, an enrollment is a prescription submitted to our specialty pharmacy, initiating the benefits investigation process to determine reimbursement and can lead to a 30-day paid dispense of MIPLYFFA. Our commercial plans focus on raising awareness among people who are living with NPC that are diagnosed and untreated, or undiagnosed.
To commercialize MIPLYFFA in the United States, we have built in-house capabilities, and have arrangements with third parties, to perform, marketing, sales, medical affairs, distribution, managerial and other non-technical capabilities. Zevra holds global rights to develop and commercialize MIPLYFFA.
MIPLYFFA summary:
•Demonstrated halting of disease progression. MIPLYFFA in combination with miglustat demonstrated a clinically significant improvement compared to placebo as early as 12 weeks and a halting of progression of the disease through 12 months of treatment. Data from the 48-month Open Label Extension study confirms the effectiveness of MIPLYFFA in slowing disease progression over multiple years.
•Ease of flexible administration as an oral treatment. MIPLYFFA is administered as an oral capsule that can be swallowed whole, opened and contents mixed with foods or liquids, or delivered through a feeding tube.
•Extensive clinical experience with favorable safety data. Over 600 patients have been treated with arimoclomol across various clinical trials and indications as well as through our global EAP, with limited safety findings. Further, in a pediatric sub-study of patients aged 6-24 months, arimoclomol was well tolerated following at least 12 months of treatment with no new safety concerns observed.
•Advantageous regulatory designations. Arimoclomol has been granted orphan medicinal product designation for the treatment of NPC by the European Commission.
OLPRUVA
UCDs are a group of rare genetic disorders that can cause harmful ammonia to build up in the blood, potentially resulting in brain damage and neurocognitive impairments, if ammonia levels are not controlled. Any increase in ammonia over time is serious. Therefore, it is important to adhere to any dietary protein restrictions and have alternative medication options to help control ammonia lev

We anticipate that our expenses will fluctuate substantially as we: •continue building and maintaining our ongoing commercial capabilities to support the commercialization of our approved products, MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, in the United States; •continue or initiate preclinical studies, clinical trials and product development activities for our pipeline of product candidates; •seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that may successfully complete clinical trials; 55 Table of Contents •seek to discover, license or acquire, and develop additional product candidates; •adapt our regulatory compliance efforts to incorporate requirements applicable to marketed products; •maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; •incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company; and •add operational systems and personnel, if needed, to support any future commercialization efforts. License Agreements XOMA License Agreement (MIPLYFFA) In May 2022, we purchased all the assets and operations of Orphazyme A/S (“Orphazyme”) related to arimoclomol. Prior to this acquisition, Orphazyme had entered into an asset purchase agreement with LadRx Corporation, which was assigned to XOMA (US) LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of XOMA Corporation (“XOMA”), in June 2023 (“XOMA License Agreement”). Under the XOMA License Agreement, XOMA is entitled to a mid-single digit percentage royalty with respect to net sales of MIPLYFFA as well as milestone payments based on future potential sales and regulatory milestones, including a $4.0 million regulatory milestone payment upon approval in the E.U. Relief License Agreement (OLPRUVA) In connection with our acquisition of Acer, Acer and Relief entered into an exclusive license agreement on August 30, 2023 (the “Relief License Agreement”), which was assumed by Zevra. Pursuant to the Relief License Agreement, Zevra is obligated to pay royalties of 10% of U.S. net sales up to a maximum of $45.0 million, plus specified regulatory milestones, for total payments to Relief of up to $56.5 million. On April 10, 2025, the rights to this royalty were sold to Soleus Capital Management L.P. Pursuant to the Relief License Agreement, Relief will hold exclusive development and commercialization rights for OLPRUVA in the EU, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City, Norway, Iceland, Principality of Monaco, Andorra, Gibraltar, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia and North Macedonia (“Geographical Europe”). We have the right to receive a royalty of up to 10% of the net sales of OLPRUVA in Geographical Europe. Aquestive Termination Agreement (AZSTARYS) Under our March 2012 termination agreement with Aquestive Therapeutics (“Aquestive”), Aquestive has the right to receive a royalty amount equal to 10% of any value generated by AZSTARYS and any product candidates containing SDX. We pay Aquestive a royalty equal to 10% of the quarterly royalty payments and of the regulatory and net sales milestones we receive from Commave under the AZSTARYS License Agreement. Components of our Results of Operations Revenue Our revenue is, and will be, primarily derived from sales of our approved products or any of our product candidates for which we obtain regulatory approval, and reimbursements under our global expanded access program (“EAP”) in France, and in select territories outside Europe. We expect that our other sources of revenues will be through payments arising from our license agreements, and through any other future arrangements related to one of our product candidates. To date, we have generated revenue from product sales of MIPLYFFA and limited sales of OLPRUVA, reimbursements received under our global EAP, royalties or net sales milestone payments generated under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, and consulting agreements. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to receive reimbursements under the global EAP or the extent of our success in commercializing MIPLYFFA or OLPRUVA. While we have received milestone payments under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, we cannot guarantee that we will earn any additional milestone or royalty payments under this agreement in the future. We also do not know when, if ever, any other product candidate will be commercially available. 56 Table of Contents Cost of Product Revenue The components of cost of product revenue are royalties and expenses directly attributable to revenue. Under the Aquestive Termination Agreement, we pay Aquestive a royalty equal to 10% of the upfront license payment and all regulatory milestone and royalty payments we received from Commave under the AZSTARYS License Agreement. Under the XOMA License Agreement, we paid a $6.0 million regulatory milestone payment earned by XOMA upon the approval of MIPLYFFA on September 20, 2024. XOMA is also entitled to a mid-single digit royalty on net sales of MIPLYFFA, as well as certain net sales and regulatory milestone payments. We also owe a 10% royalty on net sales of OLPRUVA under the Relief License Agreement. Other components of cost of product revenue include $3.9 million of non-cash intangible asset amortization related to the MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA capitalized assets and $11.7 million in inventory obsolescence reserve expense related to OLPRUVA inventory during the year ended December 31, 2025. Operating Expenses We classify our operating expenses into two categories: research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation expense, comprise a significant component of each of these expense categories. Research and Development Expense Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop potential product candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consists of: •salaries and personnel-related costs, including benefits and any stock-based compensation, for our scientific personnel performing research and development activities; •costs related to executing preclinical studies and clinical trials; •fees paid to consultants and other third parties who support our product candidate development; •other costs in seeking regulatory approval of our products; and •allocated facility-related costs and overhead. We typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs by product candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidates or development programs. 57 Table of Contents The following table summarizes our research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Outsourced development costs directly identified to programs: MIPLYFFA $ 1,993 $ 5,784 OLPRUVA 218 1,776 KP1077 2 10,486 Celiprolol 4,498 2,133 Other costs 846 496 Total outsourced development costs directly identified to programs 7,557 20,675 Research and development costs not directly identified to programs: Personnel costs including cash compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation 3,463 19,781 Facilities costs 96 51 Other costs 1,627 1,588 Total research and development costs not directly allocated to programs 5,186 21,420 Total research and development expenses $ 12,743 $ 42,095 We anticipate that our research and development expenses will fluctuate in accordance with our strategic plan as we continue our efforts to advance the development of our product candidates. The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot be certain regarding the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our products and product candidates. Selling, General and Administrative Expense We anticipate that selling expenses will vary from quarter-to-quarter in accordance with our strategic plan as we continue our efforts to commercialize MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA. At this time, we cannot be certain regarding the nature, timing or costs required to commercialize any of our product candidates that may be approved in the future, due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with commercialization activities. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and personnel-related costs, including employee benefits and any stock-based compensation, for employees performing functions other than research and development. This includes personnel in executive, finance, human resources and administrative support functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise allocated to research and development expense, professional fees for auditing, tax and legal services, expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents, consulting costs and costs of our information systems. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will fluctuate as we continue to operate as a public reporting company and continue to develop our product candidates. We believe that these fluctuations will likely include costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees for outside consultants, lawyers and accountants. We also expect to continue to incur costs to comply with corporate governance, internal control, investor relations, disclosure and similar requirements applicable to public reporting companies. Other income (expense) Other income (expense) consists primarily of gains generated from the sale of our PRV consummated on April 1, 2025, non-cash costs associated with fair value adjustments to our warrant and contingent value rights (“CVR”) liabilities, and amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount to interest expense. Other income (expense) also includes interest expense incurred on our outstanding borrowings as well as interest and other income consisting primarily of interest earned on investments. These items are unrelated to our core business and thus are recognized as other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. 58 Table of Contents Results of Operations Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Period-to-Period Change 2025 2024 Revenue, net $ 106,470 $ 23,612 $ 82,858 Cost of product revenue (excluding $3,862 and $6,235 in intangible asset amortization for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, shown separately below) 16,482 7,417 9,065 Intangible asset amortization 3,862 6,235 (2,373) Impairment of intangible assets 58,710 — 58,710 Operating expenses: Research and development 12,743 42,095 (29,352) Selling, general and administrative 77,616 54,868 22,748 Total operating expenses 90,359 96,963 (6,604) Loss from operations (62,943) (87,003) 24,060 Other income (expense): Gain on sale of PRV 148,325 — 148,325 Interest expense (7,977) (7,351) (626) Fair value adjustment related to warrant and CVR liability 2,178 2,057 121 Fair value adjustment related to investments 149 (18) 167 Interest and other income, net 6,946 2,175 4,771 Total other income (expense) 149,621 (3,137) 152,758 Income (loss) before income taxes 86,678 (90,140) 176,818 Income tax expense (3,449) (15,371) 11,922 Net income (loss) $ 83,229 $ (105,511) $ 188,740 Net income (loss) Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $83.2 million, compared to a net loss of $105.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase to net income of $188.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of the PRV of $148.3 million, an increase of $82.9 million in revenue, and a decrease in income tax expense of $11.9 million, partially offset by $58.7 million in impairment of intangible assets. Revenue, net Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $106.5 million, compared to revenue of $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $82.9 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in product sales of MIPLYFFA of $77.3 million and an increase in revenues under the global EAP of $3.9 million. Cost of product revenue Cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $16.5 million, an increase of $9.1 million compared to cost of product revenue of $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to $11.7 million in inventory obsolescence for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.7 million in inventory obsolescence for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as royalty costs related to product sales of MIPLYFFA. Intangible asset amortization Intangible asset amortization for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $3.9 million, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million compared to intangible asset amortization of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was a result of not amortizing the OLPRUVA intangible asset for the full year as it was impaired in the second quarter of 2025. 59 Table of Contents Research and development Research and development expenses decreased by $29.4 million, from $42.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in spending for the Phase 2 clinical study for KP1077 and a decrease in personnel-related costs. Selling, general and administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $22.7 million, from $54.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $77.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This increase was primarily related to an increase in personnel-related costs, professional fees, and other expenses as we continue to build our commercial organization. Other income (expense) Other income (expense) increased from $3.1 million of expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $149.6 million of income for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of the PRV of $148.3 million and an increase in interest and other income, net of $4.8 million. Income tax expense Income tax expense decreased by approximately $11.9 million, from $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, due to the periodic evaluation of our tax positions in the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources of Liquidity Through December 31, 2025, we have funded our research and development and operating activities primarily through the issuance of debt and equity and from product sales of MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, reimbursements received under the global EAP, royalties or net sales milestone payments generated under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, our PRV sale consummated on April 1, 2025, and consulting agreements. As of December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $238.9 million. On February 26, 2025, we entered into the PRV Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell the PRV to the buyer, subject to customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the PRV Transfer Agreement, the buyer agreed to pay us $150.0 million, payable in cash, upon the closing of the sale. On April 1, 2025, the asset sale was consummated, resulting in net proceeds of $148.3 million. We have had recurring negative net operating cash flows throughout our operating history, and we cannot guarantee or predict when we may begin to consistently generate positive net cash flows from operations, or if at all. We expect that our sources of revenue will be from product sales of MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, product reimbursements received under the global EAP, royalties or net sales milestone payments generated under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, and any other future arrangements related to one or more of our products or product candidates. If needed, adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt, the terms of these securities may restrict our ability to operate. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may be required to relinquish valuable rights. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or altogether cease our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts. Registration Statements on Form S-3 On February 5, 2024, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276856) registering an aggregate of 2,269,721 shares of our common stock for resale by certain stockholders. On April 5, 2024, we filed an amendment to such registration statement, which was declared effective on April 8, 2024. On June 4, 2024, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279941) (the “June 2024 Registration Statement”) under which we may sell securities in one or more offerings up to a total aggregate offering price of $350.0 million, $75.0 million of which was allocated to the sale of the shares of common stock issuable under the 2024 ATM Agreement (as described further below). The registration statement was declared effective on June 13, 2024. 60 Table of Contents August 2024 Offering On August 8, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), in connection with the offering, issuance and sale by us of 9,230,770 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $6.50 per share, pursuant to the June 2024 Registration Statement and a related prospectus supplement dated August 8, 2024 filed with the SEC (the “August 2024 Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we also granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,384,615 shares of our common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, which the Underwriters exercised in full on August 9, 2024. The August 2024 Offering closed on August 12, 2024. Total shares issued were 10,615,385. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $64.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We are using the net proceeds of the offering to support the commercialization of its approved products and the continued development of its product candidates, and for other general corporate purposes. Entry into 2024 ATM Agreement On July 12, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “2024 ATM Agreement”) with Citizens JMP Securities LLC (“Citizens JMP”) under which we may offer and sell, from time to time at our sole discretion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million through Citizens JMP as our sales agent. The issuance and sale, if any, of common stock by us under the 2024 ATM Agreement will be made pursuant to the June 2024 Registration Statement, the accompanying prospectus, and the related prospectus supplement dated July 12, 2024. Citizens JMP may sell the common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Citizens JMP will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the common stock from time to time, based upon instructions from us (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). We will pay Citizens JMP a commission equal to 3.0% in the aggregate of the gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold through Citizens JMP under the 2024 ATM Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, no shares have been issued or sold under the 2024 ATM Agreement. Term Loans On April 5, 2024 (the “Term Loans Closing Date”), we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with HCR Stafford Fund II, L.P., HCR Potomac Fund II, L.P., and Perceptive Credit Holdings IV, LP (collectively, the “Lenders”), and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided a senior secured loan facility to us in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, which is divided into three tranches as follows: (i) $60.0 million, which was funded in full on the Term Loans Closing Date; (ii) $20.0 million, which was available to us in up to two drawings, each in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million, at our option until October 5, 2025; and; (iii) $20.0 million, which was available to us upon approval by the FDA of the NDA for MIPLYFFA for the treatment of NPC, at our option until December 31, 2024 (collectively, the “Term Loans”). We did not draw down the amounts described in (ii) and (iii) above prior to their applicable expiration dates. The principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding (the “Outstanding Principal Amount”) historically bore interest at a rate equal to 3-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 7.00% per annum. As the net product sales for the calendar year ending December 31, 2025 exceeded $100.0 million, the Outstanding Principal Amount will bear interest at 3-Month Term SOFR plus 6.00% per annum beginning on January 1, 2026. In all cases, the 3-Month Term SOFR rate is subject to a floor of 4.00% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. We have the option to pay up to 25% of the interest in-kind beginning on the Term Loans Closing Date, through and including June 30, 2026. We have recognized approximately $3.1 million and $1.4 million of interest-in-kind as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, which is included in long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. The Term Loans will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Term Loans Closing Date. In connection with the Credit Agreement, we incurred approximately $2.2 million of costs, which primarily consisted of underwriting, legal and other professional fees, and are included as a reduction to the carrying amount of the related debt liability and are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the financing using the effective interest method. 61 Table of Contents The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants by us, which, among other things, will require us to provide certain financial reports to the Lenders within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and 105 days after the end of each fiscal year, meet certain minimum net product sales amounts, meet certain minimum liquidity, and limit our ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, conduct asset sales, incur liens, make dividends or distributions, conduct transactions with affiliates, and effect a consolidation or merger without consent. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, covenant defaults, insolvency, material judgments, or inaccuracy of representations and warranties. The Term Loans are secured by a first priority perfected lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of our and certain of our subsidiaries' current and future assets. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to refinance certain existing indebtedness of ourselves and our subsidiaries. We will use the remaining proceeds to pay fees and expenses related to the debt financing, to support commercialization of MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, and to further the development of our other product candidates. Cash Flows The following table summarizes our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Period-to-Period Change 2025 2024 Net cash used in operating activities $ (1,598) $ (69,665) $ 68,067 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 18,127 (22,161) 40,288 Net cash provided by financing activities 12,064 82,108 (70,044) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 28 454 (426) Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 28,621 $ (9,264) $ 37,885 Operating Activities For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities of $1.6 million consisted of net income of $83.2 million, offset by $58.3 million in adjustments for non-cash items and changes in working capital of $26.5 million. Net income was primarily attributable to the sale of the PRV, as well as revenue received from product sales of MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, royalties generated under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, and reimbursements received under the global EAP, partially offset by impairment and obsolescence charges and spend on R&D programs and operating costs. The adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of the gain on sale of PRV of $148.3 million, partially offset by impairment of intangible assets of $58.7 million, inventory obsolescence of $11.7 million, stock-based compensation expense of $12.6 million, and $4.1 million of depreciation and amortization expense. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities of $69.7 million consisted of a net loss of $105.5 million and $6.6 million in changes in working capital, partially offset by $42.5 million in adjustments for non-cash items. Net loss was primarily attributable to our spending on research and development programs and operating costs, partially offset by revenue received from MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA product sales, royalties under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, and reimbursements from the global EAP. The changes in working capital consisted of $3.6 million related to a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $8.9 million related to a change in inventories, $2.2 million related to a change in prepaids and other assets, and $0.6 million related to operating lease liabilities, partially offset by $0.4 million related to a change in discount and rebate liabilities, $0.6 million related to a change in operating lease right of use assets, $0.8 million related to a change in other liabilities, and $6.9 million increase in accounts and other receivables. The adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of income tax expense of $15.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $14.9 million, consulting fees paid in stock of $0.5 million, interest expense of $2.1 million, inventory obsolescence of $5.7 million and $5.7 million related to depreciation, amortization and other items, and a loss on disposal of $0.2 million, partially offset by a change in fair value adjustment of warrants and CVR of $2.1 million. Investing Activities For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $18.1 million, which was primarily attributable to proceeds from the sale of the PRV of $150.0 million and maturities of investments of $178.5 million, partially offset by $310.0 million in purchases of investments. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $22.1 million, which was attributable to purchases of investments of $41.1 million and a $6.0 million regulatory milestone payment to XOMA, partially offset by maturities of investments of $25.0 million. 62 Table of Contents Financing Activities For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.1 million, which was primarily attributable to proceeds from common stock warrants exercised of $8.6 million and options exercised of $3.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $82.1 million, which was primarily attributable to proceeds from the issuance of debt of $58.9 million, proceeds from insurance financing arrangements of $1.0 million and proceeds from sales of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, of $1.1 million, proceeds from issuance of common stock of $66.2 million, partially offset by repayments of debt of $42.7 million, payments of principal on insurance financing arrangements of $0.4 million, and payments of deferred offering costs of $2.0 million. Future Funding Requirements We believe our available cash and cash equivalents, together with our ability to generate operating cash flow and our access to short-term and long-term borrowings, are sufficient to fund our existing and planned capital requirements for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and multi-national financial institutions, and our deposits at these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of a failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Any inability to access or delay in accessing these funds could adversely affect our business and financial position. Potential near-term sources of additional funding include: •any product sales of MIPLYFFA; •any product sales of OLPRUVA; •any reimbursements received for arimoclomol under the global EAP; and •any royalties or net sales milestone payments generated under the AZSTARYS License Agreement. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient proceeds from any of these potential sources to fund our operating expenses. We anticipate that our expenses will fluctuate substantially as we: •continue building and maintaining our ongoing commercial capabilities to support the commercialization of our approved products, MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, in the United States; •continue or initiate preclinical studies, clinical trials and product development activities for our pipeline of product candidates; •seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that may successfully complete clinical trials; •seek to discover, license or acquire, and develop additional product candidates; •adapt our regulatory compliance efforts to incorporate requirements applicable to marketed products; •maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; •incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company; and •add operational systems and personnel, if needed, to support any future commercialization efforts. 63 Table of Contents We have based our estimates of our cash needs and cash runway on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient proceeds from product sales of MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA, reimbursements received under the global EAP, royalties or net sales milestone payments generated under the AZSTARYS License Agreement, or other funding transactions to fund our operating expenses. To meet any additional cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or convertible securities that may result in dilution to our stockholders, issue additional debt or seek other third-party funding, including potential strategic transactions, such as licensing or collaboration arrangements. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of product candidates and products, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the commercialization and development of our partnered product or product candidates, should they obtain regulatory approval. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt, the terms of these securities may restrict our ability to operate. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may be required to relinquish valuable rights. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or altogether cease our research and development programs and/or commercialization efforts. Critical Accounting Estimates This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note B to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Acquisition of Intangible Assets We record all assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisitions at fair value, including goodwill and other intangible assets. The initial recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired assets will perform in the future using valuation methods including discounted cash flow analysis. Inherent in the determination of fair value of the reporting units are certain estimates and judgments, including the interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, as well as management’s strategic plans with regard to our operations. When utilizing a quantitative assessment, we determine fair value at the reporting unit level based on a combination of an income approach and market approach. The income approach is based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant, while the market approach is based on sales and/or earnings multiples of similar companies. These approaches use significant estimates and assumptions, including projected future cash flows and the timing of those cash flows, discount rates reflecting risks inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rates, and determination of appropriate market comparables. Goodwill and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value assigned to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment within our single reporting unit on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying amount. Our estimates associated with the annual test of goodwill for impairment, as well as the as-needed assessment of the recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets, are considered critical due to the amount of these assets recorded on our consolidated balance sheets and the judgment required. With respect to definite-lived intangible assets, we periodically evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may affect the estimated useful life or the recoverability of the remaining balance of such assets. If such events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, management would estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) were less than the carrying amount of the asset group, we would recognize an impairment charge to reduce such assets to their fair value. 64 Table of Contents Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and, as a result, follows the five-step model when recognizing revenue: 1) identifying a contract; 2) identifying the performance obligations; 3) determining the transaction price; 4) allocating the price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been fulfilled. Net revenues from product sales are recognized at the transaction price when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon receipt of the product by the customer. Our current single customer for product sales of MIPLYFFA and OLPRUVA is a specialty pharmacy provider. Our net revenues represent total revenues adjusted for discounts and allowances, including estimated cash discounts, chargebacks, rebates, returns, copay assistance, data fees and wholesaler fees for services. These adjustments represent variable consideration under ASC 606 and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. These adjustments are established by management as its best estimate based on available information and will be adjusted to reflect known changes in the factors that impact such allowances. Adjustments for variable consideration are determined based on the contractual terms with customers, historical trends, communications with customers and the levels of inventory remaining in the distribution channel, as well as expectations about the market for the product and anticipated introduction of competitive products. Accrued Research and Development Expenses We enter into contractual agreements with third-party vendors who provide research and development, manufacturing, and other services in the ordinary course of business. Some of these contracts are subject to milestone-based invoicing and services are completed over an extended period of time. We record liabilities under these contractual commitments when an obligation has been incurred. This accrual process involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual cost. The majority of our service providers invoice us monthly in arrears for services performed. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to us. We periodically confirm the accuracy of our estimates with the service providers and make adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include: •fees paid to CROs in connection with preclinical and toxicology studies and clinical trials; •fees paid to investigative sites in connection with clinical trials; •fees paid to contract manufacturers in connection with the production of our raw materials, drug substance and product candidates; and •professional fees. We base our expenses related to clinical trials on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions and CROs that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from our estimate, we will adjust the accrual accordingly. If we do not identify costs that we have begun to incur or if we underestimate or overestimate the level of these costs, our actual expenses could differ from our estimates. 65 Table of Contents Stock-Based Compensation We record the fair value of stock options issued as of the grant date as compensation expense. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is equal to the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense has been reported in our statements of operations as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2025 2024 Research and development $ 841 $ 5,819 Selling, general and administrative 11,793 9,087 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 12,634 $ 14,906 Determination of the Fair Value of Stock-Based Compensation Grants We calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation arrangements using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The BSM option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our common stock, the assumed dividend yield, the expected term of our stock options, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of our stock options and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. In applying these assumptions, we considered the following factors: •historically we have not had sufficient experience to estimate the volatility of our common stock. As such, we calculated the expected volatility based on reported data for selected similar publicly traded companies for which the historical information is available, or peer volatility, and blended it with our historical volatility, or leverage-adjusted peer volatility. For the purpose of identifying peer companies, we consider characteristics such as industry, length of trading history, similar vesting terms and in-the-money option status. We utilized this leverage-adjusted peer volatility for grants prior to the initial public offering, as well as grants within the two-year period immediately following the initial public offering. For grants after the second anniversary of the initial public offering we utilized our historical volatility to determine the expected volatility; •the assumed dividend yield is based on our expectation of not paying dividends for the foreseeable future; •we determine the average expected life of “plain vanilla” stock options based on the simplified method in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 107 and 110 due to the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate the expected term of the stock options. For options that are not considered “plain vanilla,” such as those with exercise prices in excess of the fair market value of the underlying stock, we use an expected life equal to the contractual term of the option; •we determine the risk-free interest rate by reference to implied yields available from U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant; and •we estimate forfeitures based on our historical analysis of actual stock option forfeitures. We account for stock-based compensation arrangements with directors and consultants that contain only service conditions for vesting using a fair value approach. The grant date fair value of these options is measured using the BSM option pricing model reflecting the same assumptions as applied to employee options in each of the reported periods, other than the expected life, which is assumed to be the remaining contractual life of the option. The following summarizes the assumptions used for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Risk-free interest rate 3.70% - 4.39% 3.82% - 4.50% Expected term (in years) 5.50 - 6.25 5.50 - 6.25 Expected volatility 81.54% - 87.31% 89.85% - 91.32% Expected dividend yield 0 0 66 Table of Contents Income Taxes We are subject to taxation in the United States and the Kingdom of Denmark. Tax liabilities may arise from interpretations and judgments made with regard to transfer pricing in the application of the relevant statutes, regulations, tax rulings and case law across the various jurisdictions. We use significant judgment in (1) determining whether the technical merits of tax positions taken in the various jurisdictions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained based on applicable tax law and (2) measuring the related amount of tax liability that qualifies for recognition. Utilization of Net Operating Loss Carryforwards and Research and Development Credits As of December 31, 2025, we had federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards of approximately $230.4 million, $11.1 million of which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2029 and $219.4 million of which have no expiration date. We also have certain state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $312.2 million, which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2029. We recorded refundable research and development tax credits as interest and other income, net and not income tax under ASC 740 in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. These refundable tax credits are a result of increased qualified research and development spending in certain jurisdictions which allow for a refundable credit even when a company has no current period income tax expense. In accordance with Section 382 of the Code, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% within a three-year period results in an annual limitation on a company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards created during the tax periods prior to the change in ownership. We performed a Section 382 ownership change analysis through the period ending November 26, 2025 and determined that we experienced ownership changes in 2016, 2020, and 2021 which resulted in a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards being subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 for those respective tax years. No other ownership changes or limitations on our historical net operating loss carryforwards were noted through the period ending November 26, 2025. Warrants We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For warrants that meet all criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity at the time of issuance. For warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in other expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the BSM option pricing model.
