NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis, we, our or us) is an oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and combination regimens at the forefront of cancer care. We have produced four marketed pharmaceutical products, two of which are formulations of our flagship molecule, cabozantinib, and we are steadily advancing and evolving our product pipeline portfolio, including our lead asset zanzalintinib, currently the focus of an extensive phase 3 clinical development program. With a rational and disciplined approach to investment, we are leveraging our internal experience and expertise, and the strength of strategic partnerships, to identify and pursue opportunities across the landscape of scientific modalities, including small molecules, biotherapeutics and antibody-drug conjugates.

Sales related to cabozantinib account for the majority of our revenues. Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases, including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in other countries as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for: advanced renal cell carcinoma (both alone and in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company’s nivolumab (OPDIVO®)), previously treated hepatocellular carcinoma, previously treated, radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer, and previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors; and as COMETRIQ® (cabozantinib) capsules for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer. For physicians treating these types of cancer, cabozantinib has become or is becoming an important medicine in their selection of effective therapies.

The othertwo products resulting from our discovery efforts are: COTELLIC® (cobimetinib), an inhibitor of MEK approved as part of multiple combination regimens to treat specific forms of advanced melanoma and marketed under a collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (a member of the Roche Group) (Genentech); and MINNEBRO® (esaxerenone), an oral, non-steroidal, selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor, approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan and licensed to Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Exelixis and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. These entities’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

We have adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year policy that generally ends on the Friday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2025, which is a 52-week fiscal year, will end on January 2, 2026 and fiscal year 2024, which was a 53-week fiscal year, ended on January 3, 2025. For convenience, references in this report as of and for the fiscal periods ended April 4, 2025 and March 29, 2024, and as of and for the fiscal years ending January 2, 2026 and ended January 3, 2025, are indicated as being as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, and the years ending December 31, 2025 and ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future period. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2025 (Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact previously reported total revenues, income from operations, net income, total assets, total liabilities or total stockholders’ equity.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted by us since our filing of the Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, which could have a significant effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures(ASU 2023-09), which enhances the disclosures required for income taxes in our annual consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for us in our annual reporting for fiscal 2025 on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective reporting are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses(ASU 2024-03), which enhances the disclosures required for expense disaggregation in our annual and interim consolidated financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement –Reporting Comprehensive Income –Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) – Clarifying the effective Date (ASU 2025-01), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for companies with a non-calendar year end. ASU 2024-03 is effective for us in our annual reporting for fiscal year 2027, and in our interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2. SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate inone business segment that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of new medicines for difficult-to-treat cancers. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision-maker, manages and allocates resources to our operations on a total consolidated basis. Consistent with this decision-making process, our President and Chief Executive Officer uses net income to monitor budget versus actual results for purposes of evaluating performance and to make decisions about the allocation of resources.

Our significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to our President and Chief Executive Officer and included in the measure of segment net income consist of consolidated expenses for our operational departments: drug discovery, development, and selling, general and administrative and other segment items.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

We receive payments from our collaboration partners based on billing schedules established in each contract. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. We may also recognize revenue in advance of the contractual billing schedule and such amounts are recorded as a contract asset when recognized. We may be required to defer recognition of revenue for upfront and milestone payments until we perform our obligations under these arrangements, and such amounts are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis at the contract level. Contract assets are primarily related to Ipsen Pharma SAS (Ipsen) and contract liabilities are primarily related to deferred revenues from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda).

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in revenues that were included in the beginning deferred revenues balance for those periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $42.5 million and $45.9 million, respectively, in revenues for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. Such revenues were primarily related to the recognition of license revenues for the achievement of milestones and royalty payments allocated to our license performance obligations for our collaborations with Ipsen and Takeda.

As of March 31, 2025,$38.2 millionof the combined transaction prices for our Ipsen and Takeda collaborations were allocated to research and development services performance obligations that had not yet been satisfied. See “Note 4. Collaboration Agreements and Business Development Activities” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K for additional information about the expected timing to satisfy these performance obligations.

NOTE 4. COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

We have established multiple collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies for the commercialization and further development of our cabozantinib franchise. Additionally, we have made considerable progress under our existing research collaboration and in-licensing arrangements to further enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover, develop and commercialize novel therapies with the goal of providing new treatment options for cancer patients. Historically, we also entered into other collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies pursuant to which we out-licensed other compounds and programs in our portfolio.

See “Note 4. Collaboration Agreements and Business Development Activities” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, as further described below, for additional information on certain of our collaboration agreements and in-licensing arrangements.

Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations

Ipsen Collaboration

In February 2016, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen, which was subsequently amended, for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, Ipsen received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications outside of the U.S. and Japan. We have also agreed to collaborate with Ipsen on the development of cabozantinib for current and potential future indications. The parties’ efforts are governed through a joint steering committee and appropriate subcommittees established to guide and oversee the collaboration’s operation and strategic direction; provided, however, that we retain final decision-making authority with respect to cabozantinib’s ongoing development.

Revenues under the collaboration agreement with Ipsen were as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
License revenues$33,979$36,861
Collaboration services revenues(1,273)(1,158)
Total collaboration revenues$32,706$35,703

Takeda Collaboration

In January 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Takeda, which was subsequently amended, for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, Takeda received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications in Japan, and the parties have agreed to collaborate on the clinical development of cabozantinib in Japan. The operation and strategic direction of the parties’ collaboration is governed through a joint executive committee and appropriate subcommittees.

Revenues under the collaboration agreement with Takeda were as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
License revenues$2,759$2,710
Collaboration services revenues9573,185
Total collaboration revenues$3,716$5,895

Royalty Pharma

In October 2002, we established a product development and commercialization collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (now GSK plc, or GSK), that required us to pay a 3% royalty to GSK on the worldwide net sales of any product containing cabozantinib sold by us and our collaboration partners. Effective January 1, 2021, Royalty Pharma plc (Royalty Pharma) acquired from GSK all rights, title and interest in royalties on net product sales containing cabozantinib for non-U.S. markets for the full term of the royalty and for the U.S. market through September 2026, after which time U.S. royalties will revert back to GSK. Royalty fees earned by Royalty Pharma in connection with our sales of cabozantinib are included in cost of goods sold and as a reduction of collaboration services revenues for sales by our collaboration partners. Such royalty fees earned by Royalty Pharma were $20.4 million and $16.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Research Collaborations, In-Licensing Arrangements and Other Business Development Activities

We enter into collaborative arrangements with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies to develop and commercialize oncology assets or other intellectual property. Our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements are intended to enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover, develop and commercialize novel therapies with the goal of providing new treatment options for cancer patients. Our research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions generally include upfront payments for the purchase or in-licensing of intellectual property, development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and royalty payments, in each case contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Certain of our research collaborations provide us exclusive options that give us the right to license programs or acquire the intellectual property developed under the research collaborations for further discovery and development. When we decide to exercise the options, we are required to pay an exercise fee and then assume the responsibilities for all subsequent development, manufacturing and commercialization.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized$5.3 million and $22.8 million, respectively, within research and development expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily related to development milestone payments for the costs of intellectual property that have not yet achieved technological feasibility, research and development funding and other fees.

As of March 31, 2025, in conjunction with the active collaborative in-licensing arrangements and asset purchase agreements, we are subject to potential future development milestone payments of up to $441.5 million, regulatory milestone payments of up to $278.0 million and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.4 billion, each in the aggregate per product or target, as well as royalties on future net sales of products.

Interest receivable was $12.8 million and $14.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Realized gains and losses on the sales of marketable securities were immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

We manage credit risk associated with our marketable securities portfolio through our investment policy, which limits purchases to high-quality issuers and the amount of our portfolio that can be invested in a single issuer. The fair value and gross unrealized losses on debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position were as follows (in thousands):

There were 171 and 255 debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we didnot record an allowance for credit losses or other impairment charges on our marketable securities. Based upon our quarterly impairment review, we determined that the unrealized losses were not attributed to credit risk but were primarily associated with changes in interest rates and market liquidity. Based on the scheduled maturities of our marketable securities, we determined that it was more likely than not that we will hold these marketable securities for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of our cost basis.

The fair values of debt securities available-for-sale by contractual maturity were as follows (in thousands):

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Maturing in one year or less$840,247$888,360

Total debt securities available-for-sale$1,459,688$1,525,651

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value reflects the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy has the following three levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or on industry models using data inputs, such as interest rates and prices that can be directly observed or corroborated in active markets; and

Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The classifications within the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

March 31, 2025

Certificates of deposit—77,22677,226
Total financial assets carried at fair value$145,690$1,602,877$1,748,567

When available, we value marketable securities based on quoted prices for those financial instruments, which is a Level 1 input. Our remaining marketable securities are valued using third-party pricing sources, which use observable market prices, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals for similar assets as observable inputs for pricing, which is a Level 2 input.

The carrying amount of our remaining financial assets and liabilities, which include receivables and payables, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

We have entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes to hedge certain operational exposures for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.

As of March 31, 2025, we hadone forward contract outstanding to sell €2.2 million. The forward contract with a maturity ofthree months is recorded at fair value and is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized loss on the forward contract is immaterial as of March 31, 2025. The forward contract is considered a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of our fair value measurements. The net realized gains (losses) we recognized on the maturity of forward contracts were immaterial for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and are included in other expenses, net on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock-based Compensation

We have an equity incentive plan under which we granted stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), including market condition-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs (PSUs) to employees and directors. As of March 31, 2025,8.3 millionsh ares were available for grant under the Exelixis, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the 2017 Plan). The share reserve is reduced by 1 share for each share issued pursuant to a stock option and 2 shares for full value awards, including RSUs and PSUs.

We allocated the stock-based compensation for our 2017 Plan and our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the Amended ESPP) as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Research and development$9,522$3,892
Selling, general and administrative16,40815,221
Total stock-based compensation$25,930$19,113

Stock-based compensation for each type of award under our 2017 Plan and Amended ESPP were as follows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Stock options$1,060$1,738
Restricted stock units23,10215,434
Performance stock units241727
Employee stock purchase plan1,5271,214
Total stock-based compensation$25,930$19,113

As of March 31, 2025, there were 4.0 million stock options outstanding and $2.8 million of related unrecognized stock-based compensation.

In February 2025, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 1.0 million RSUs (the target number) that are subject to a total shareholder return (TSR) market condition and a time-based service condition (the 2025 TSR-based RSUs). The TSR market condition is based on our relative TSR percentile rank compared to companies in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index during the performance period, which is January 4, 2025 through December 31, 2027. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2025 TSR-based RSUs may earn up to 175% of the target number of shares. Following achievement of the market condition at the end of the performance period and upon employee’s continuous service through the vesting dates,50% of the shares earned pursuant to the 2025 TSR-based RSUs will vest shortly after the end of the performance period, and the remainder will vest approximatelyone year later, subject to an employee’s continuous service. These 2025 TSR-based RSUs will be forfeited if the market condition at or above a threshold level is not achieved, and/or the time-based service condition is not fulfilled, by the end of the performance period and through the vesting dates.

In March 2025, we awarded to employees an aggregate of 6.9 million RSUs that are subject to a stock price appreciation market condition and a time-based service condition (the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs). The market condition will be satisfied to the extent that the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for any consecutive 90-calendar-day period equals or exceeds $60 per share on any day during thefive-year performance period. Following achievement of the market condition, the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs will vest upon employee’s continuous service through the end of the performance period on March 31, 2030 (the time-based service condition). The 2025 stock price target-based RSUs will be forfeited if the market condition at or above the target price is not achieved, and/or the time-based service condition is not fulfilled, by the end of the performance period.

We used a Monte Carlo simulation model and the following assumptions to determine the grant date fair value of $47.58 per share for the 2025 TSR-based RSUs and $25.10 per share for the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs:

2025 TSR-based RSUs2025 stock price target-based RSUs
Fair value of Exelixis common stock on grant date$37.53$36.92
Expected volatility32.63%38.31%
Risk-free interest rate4.0%3.92%
Dividend yield—%—%

The Monte Carlo simulation model for our 2025 TSR-based RSUs assumed correlations of returns of the stock prices of Exelixis common stock and the common stock of a peer group of companies and historical stock price volatility of the peer group of companies. The valuation model also used terms based on the length of the performance period and compound annual growth rate goals for TSR based on the provisions of the awards. The Monte Carlo simulation model for our 2025 stock price target-based RSUs assumed historical stock price volatility and compounded risk-free rate over the length of the performance period. Stock-based compensation related to RSUs with a market condition is recognized regardless of the outcome of the market condition.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we granted 2.1 million service-based RSUs with a weighted- average grant date fair value of $37.20 per share. As of March 31, 2025, there were 22.6 million RSUs outstanding, including RSUs that are subject to market conditions, and $435.3 million of related unrecognized stock-based compensation. Service-based RSUs granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2025, have vesting conditions and contractual lives of a similar nature to those described in “Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.

Common Stock Repurchases

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. In February 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock before December 31, 2025. Under these programs, as of March 31, 2025, we repurchased 14.2 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $494.5 million. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $505.5 million remained available for future stock repurchases before December 31, 2025.

Stock repurchases under these programs may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the stock repurchase programs will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. The programs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of our common stock, and the stock repurchase programs may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

NOTE 9. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 22.4%, as compared to 24.3% for the corresponding period in 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to state taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits related to certain stock grants and the generation of federal tax credits. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to state taxes and interest on uncertain tax positions, offset by the generation of federal tax credits.

NOTE 10. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share — basic and diluted, were computed as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Numerator:
Net income$159,616$37,317
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — basic278,804300,757
Dilutive securities9,3734,773
Weighted-average common shares outstanding — diluted288,177305,530
Net income per share — basic$0.57$0.12
Net income per share — diluted$0.55$0.12

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. The diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the periods. Dilutive common shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, unvested RSUs (including market conditions-based RSUs), unvested PSUs when the performance condition is met and ESPP contributions. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method.

Certain potential common shares were excluded from our calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding— diluted because either they would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share or they were related to shares from PSUs that were contingently issuable, and the contingency had not been satisfied at the end of the reporting period.

The weighted-average potential common shares excluded from our calculation were as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

MSN ANDA Litigation

In September 2019, we received a notice letter regarding an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) submitted to the FDA by MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (individually and collectively with certain of its affiliates, including MSN Laboratories Private Limited, referred to as MSN), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN’s initial notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment) and 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), which are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also referred to as the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. MSN’s initial notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 (composition of matter) or 8,497,284 (methods of treatment), each of which is listed in the Orange Book. On October 29, 2019, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court) for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 arising from MSN’s ANDA filing with the FDA. On November 20, 2019, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 are invalid and not infringed. On May 5, 2020, we received notice from MSN that it had amended its ANDA to include additional Paragraph IV certifications and to request approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of the two previously unasserted CABOMETYX patents: U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284. On May 11, 2020, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284, and on May 22, 2020, MSN filed its response, alleging that the asserted claims of these U.S. Patents are invalid and not infringed. On March 23, 2021, MSN filed its First Amended Answer and Counterclaims (amending its prior filing from May 22, 2020), seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 (salt and polymorphic forms) is invalid and would not be infringed by MSN if its generic version of CABOMETYX tablets were approved by the FDA. U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 is not listed in the Orange Book. On April 7, 2021, we filed our response to MSN’s First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, denying, among other things, that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 is invalid or would not be infringed. Thetwo lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN I), numbered Civil Action Nos. 19-02017 and 20-00633, were consolidated in April 2021.

A bench trial for MSN I occurred in May 2022, and on January 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN’s invalidity challenge to U.S. Patent No. 7,759,473. The Delaware District Court also ruled that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776. In accordance with these rulings, the Delaware District Court entered judgment that the effective date of any final FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA shall not be a date earlier than August 14, 2026, the expiration date of U.S. Patent No. 7,759,473. Final judgment was entered on January 30, 2023. This ruling in MSN I did not impact our separate MSN II lawsuit (as defined below).

On January 11, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the January 11, 2022 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration ofthree previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patents that are now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition) and 11,098,015 (methods of treatment). On February 23, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On February 25, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 are invalid and not infringed. On June 7, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As currently amended, MSN’s ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). On July 18, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 9, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 are invalid and not infringed and amended its challenges to U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 to allege that these patents are not enforceable based on equitable grounds. Thetwo lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN II), numbered Civil Action Nos. 22-00228 and 22-00945, were consolidated in October 2022 and involve Exelixis patents that are different from those asserted in the MSN I litigation described above.

On June 21, 2022, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN’s submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN’s commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN’s proposed ANDA product prior to the expiration of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. In our MSN II complaints, we sought, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. On September 28, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties’ stipulation of dismissal of MSN’s equitable defenses and counterclaims. A bench trial occurred in October 2023, and on October 15, 2024, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN’s invalidity challenge to each of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015. The Delaware District Court also ruled that our U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 is not invalid and that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe this patent. In accordance with these rulings, the Delaware District Court entered final judgment on October 23, 2024, that, should the FDA ultimately approve MSN’s ANDA, the effective date of any such approval of MSN’s ANDA shall not be a date earlier than January 15, 2030, the expiration date of each of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015, subject to our potential additional regulatory exclusivity.

On November 22, 2024, MSN noticed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and we noticed a cross-appeal on November 26, 2024. On April 1, 2025, MSN filed its Opening Brief arguing that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015, and 11,298,349 are invalid. Our response (including any cross-appeal) is currently due July 11, 2025. We are currently evaluating next steps with respect to this litigation.

In February 2025, we received another notice letter from MSN regarding its ANDA, requesting FDA approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Orange Book-listed patent U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039 (low impurity), which expires in 2032. On March 19, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On April 10, 2025, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039 are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed.

Sun ANDA Litigation

On September 17, 2024, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Sun), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Sun’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment), 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition), 11,098,015 (methods of treatment) and 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition), which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On October 30,2024 we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Sun asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, and 11,098,015. On January 22, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, and 11,098,015 are invalid and not infringed. Sun also filed counterclaims that, inter alia, seek a declaratory judgment that Sun’s ANDA would not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015, 9,724,342, 10,034,873, 10,039,757, and 11,298,349.

In February 2025, we received another notice letter from Sun regarding its ANDA, requesting FDA approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Sun’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to Orange Book-listed patent U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039 (low impurity), which expires in 2032. On April 4, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Sun asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039 arising from Sun’s amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. Trial in this matter has been scheduled for November 2, 2026.

Biocon ANDA Litigation

In March 2025, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Biocon Pharma Limited (Biocon), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Biocon’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment), 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition), 11,098,015 (methods of treatment), 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition), 12,128,039 (low impurity) which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On April 11, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Biocon asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015, and 12,128,039.

Azurity 505(b)(2) NDA Litigation

In March 2025, we received a notice letter regarding a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (505(b)(2)) submitted to the FDA by Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Azurity), requesting approval to market cabozantinib (S)-malate tablets. Azurity’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment), 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition), 11,098,015 (methods of treatment), 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition), 12,128,039 (low impurity) which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. On April 18, 2025, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Azurity asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015, 11,298,349, and 12,128,039. On April 24, 2025, we filed our First Amended Complaint alleging infringement of the same patents.

Other

On November 18, 2024, Azurity filed a petition seeking inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The proceeding was accorded a filing date of December 12, 2024. We filed our preliminary response on March 11, 2025.

On January 9, 2025, Azurity filed a petition seeking inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 12,128,039 (low impurity) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The proceeding was accorded a filing date of March 6, 2025 and we have not yet filed our preliminary response.

The sale of any cabozantinib (S)-malate tablets besides CABOMETYX significantly earlier than CABOMETYX’s patent expiration could decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is not possible at this time to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate of the amount or range of any potential loss.

We may also from time-to-time become a party or subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings have involved, and may involve in the future, claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages.
