Notes to 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 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 clinical asset, zanzalintinib, currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain forms of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as the focus of an extensive late-stage clinical development program in other indications. 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 and biotherapeutics, such as 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 FDA, and in other countries for all or a combination of, the following: as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (both alone and in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company’s (BMS) 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 (pNET) and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET); 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 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 31st. Fiscal year 2025, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on January 2, 2026; fiscal year 2024, which was a 53-week fiscal year, ended on January 3, 2025; and fiscal year 2023, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on December 29, 2023. For convenience, references in this report as of and for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2026, January 3, 2025, and December 29, 2023, are indicated as being as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

We have made reclassifications to our prior years’ Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not impact previously reported total revenues, income from operations, net income, total assets, total liabilities, total operating, investing or financing cash flows or total stockholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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. We adopted the new standard effective beginning fiscal year 2025 on a prospective basis. We have presented the effects of the adoption of ASU 2023-09 in “Note 10. Provision for Income Taxes.”

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include high-grade, short-term investments in money market funds and marketable debt securities which are subject to minimal credit and market risk.

We designate all investments in marketable debt securities and certificates of deposit as available-for-sale and therefore, report such investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. For securities sold prior to maturity, the cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. We include realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities in other income (expenses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

We classify those marketable securities that we do not require for use in current operations and that mature in more than 12 months as non-current marketable securities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investment Impairment

Quarterly, we assess each of our investments in available-for-sale debt securities whose fair value is below its cost basis to determine if the investment’s impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors considered in determining whether an impairment is credit-related include the extent to which the investment’s fair value is less than its cost basis, declines in published credit ratings, issuer default on interest or principal payments, and declines in the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. If we determine a credit-related impairment exists, we will measure the credit loss based on a discounted cash flow model. Credit-related impairments on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized as an allowance for credit losses with a corresponding adjustment to other income (expenses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The portion of the impairment that is not credit-related is recorded as a reduction of other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

We have elected to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. We write-off accrued interest as a reduction of interest income when an issuer has defaulted on interest payments due on a security.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the amount 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 (exit price). When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risks.

Foreign Currency Remeasurement

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period and related gains or losses are recorded in other income (expenses), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Net foreign currency gains or losses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables, net, contain amounts billed to our customers for product sales, and amounts billed to our collaboration partners for development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments, royalties on the sale of licensed products, profit-sharing arrangements, development cost reimbursements, and payments for product supply services. Our customers are primarily pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are located in the U.S., and collaboration partners that are located in Europe and Japan. We record trade receivables net of allowances for credit losses and chargebacks, and cash discounts for prompt payment. We apply an aging method to estimate credit losses and consider our historical loss information, adjusted to account for current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions affecting our customers. We write off trade receivables and related allowances for credit losses when it becomes probable we will not collect the amount receivable. The allowances for credit losses and write-offs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were immaterial.

Inventory

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost of inventory using the standard-cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. We analyze our inventory levels quarterly and write down inventory subject to expiry in excess of expected requirements, or that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value. These write downs are charged to either cost of goods sold or the cost of supplied product included in collaboration services revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. On a quarterly basis, we analyze our estimated production levels for the following twelve-month period, which is our normal operating cycle, and reclassify inventory we expect to use or sell in periods beyond the next twelve months into other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost, net of depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets and amortize leasehold improvements over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remainder of the lease term. We charge repairs and maintenance costs to expense as incurred. We periodically review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

The carrying value of our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment, right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements, is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. The fair value is determined using an income approach where certain Level 3 inputs are used, including estimates and assumptions on the timing and amount of discounted cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $64.4 million in impairment charges primarily comprised of right-of use assets, leasehold improvements, and property and equipment. We didnot recognize any material impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023. See “Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies– Impairment of long-lived assets” and “Note 13. Restructuring” for further details.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement includes a lease at the inception of the agreement. For each of our lease arrangements, we record a right-of-use asset representing our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and a lease liability representing our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the net present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the discount rate used to calculate the net present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. Our leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise any such options. The Company elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impairments of right-of-use assets are recognized as a reduction in their respective carrying values. Post-impairment, the lease expense for our operating leases is comprised of the straight-line amortization of the remaining right-of-use assets over the lease term and the accretion of lease liability. We have elected not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842, Leases, for short-term leases that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset for which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lease payments are recognized as incurred in operating expenses over the lease term.

Goodwill

We record goodwill amounts as the excess of purchase price over identifiable net assets acquired based on their estimated fair value. We review the carrying amount of goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We perform our annual assessment of the recoverability of our goodwill as of the first day of our fourth quarter. The assessment of recoverability may first consider qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We perform a quantitative assessment if the qualitative assessment results in a more-likely-than-not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, limited to the goodwill balance. We operate inone business segment, which is also considered to be our sole reporting unit and therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment at the enterprise level. We didnot recognize any goodwill impairment charges in any of the periods presented.

Other current liabilities

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, other current liabilities includes the current portion of the Branded Prescription Drug Fee due to the Internal Revenue Service in the amount of $27.7 million and $26.2 million, respectively, and the current portion of our lease liability in the amount of $27.9 million and $25.0 million, respectively.

Revenue

We account for revenues under the guidance of Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606). Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity is entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer.

Net Product Revenues

We sell our products principally to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacy providers, or collectively, our Customers. These Customers subsequently resell our products to health care providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, we enter into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the Customer.

Product Sales Discounts and Allowances

We record revenues from product sales at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from chargebacks, discounts for prompt payment, rebates, co-pay assistance and other customer credits that are offered within contracts between us and our Customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the sales of our products. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the Customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a Customer). Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes for relevant factors such as our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted Customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of our contracts. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted Customers purchase directly from a specialty distributor. Contracted Customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions, Federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, Group Purchasing Organizations, and health maintenance organizations, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to us the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the specialty distributor by the Customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on actual chargebacks received and an estimate of sales to contracted Customers.

Discounts for Prompt Payment: Our Customers in the U.S. receive a discount of 2% for prompt payment. We expect our Customers will earn 100% of their prompt payment discounts and, therefore, we deduct the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.

Rebates: Allowances for rebates consist primarily of mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, other government programs and commercial contracts. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contractual discount rates and expected utilization. Our estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on Customer and payer data received from the specialty pharmacies and distributors and historical utilization rates. Rebates are generally invoiced by the payer and paid in arrears, such that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s shipments to our Customers, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarters’ unpaid rebates. If actual future rebates vary from estimates, we may need to adjust our accruals, which would affect net product revenues in the period of adjustment.

Allowances for rebates also include amounts related to the Medicare Part D Manufacturer Discount Program (MDP), which replaced the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap Discount, effective on January 1, 2025. The MDP was implemented under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and eliminates the coverage gap benefit phase, introduces pharmaceutical manufacturer discount obligations in both the initial coverage and catastrophic phases, and lowers the annual cap on enrollee out-of-pocket costs. We estimate our MDP rebate liabilities based on the portion of our product sales expected to be attributable to patients enrolled in Medicare Part D plans. These rebate amounts are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenues and the establishment of a current liability included in rebates and fees due to customers in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. MDP rebates are invoiced and paid in arrears. If invoiced amounts vary from estimates, we may need to adjust our accruals, which would affect net product revenues in the period of adjustment.

Co-payment Assistance: Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. We accrue a liability for co-payment assistance based on actual program participation and estimates of program redemption using Customer data provided by the specialty distributor that administers the copay program.

Other Customer Credits: We pay fees to our Customers for account management, data management and other administrative services. To the extent the services received are distinct from the sale of products to the Customer, we classify these payments in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Collaboration Revenues

We assess whether our collaboration agreements are subject to Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808), based on whether they involve joint operating activities and whether both parties have active participation in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards. To the extent that the arrangement falls within the scope of Topic 808, we apply by analogy the unit of account guidance under Topic 606 to identify distinct performance obligations, and then determine whether a customer relationship exists for each distinct performance obligation. If we determine a performance obligation within the arrangement is with a customer, we apply the guidance in Topic 606. If a portion of a distinct bundle of goods or services within an arrangement is not with a customer, then the unit of account is not within the scope of Topic 606, and the recognition and measurement of that unit of account shall be based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or, if there is no appropriate analogy, a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election.

We enter into collaboration arrangements, under which we license certain rights to our intellectual property to third parties. The terms of these arrangements may include payments to us for one or more of the following: nonrefundable up-front license fees; development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments; product supply services; development cost reimbursements; profit-sharing arrangements; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, we develop assumptions that require judgment to determine the standalone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. These key assumptions may include forecasted revenues, clinical development timelines and costs, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.

Up-front License Fees: If the license to our intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, we recognize revenues from nonrefundable up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license, which generally occurs at or near the inception of the contract. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, we utilize judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenues from nonrefundable up-front fees. We evaluate the measure of progress at the end of each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

Regulatory and Development Milestone Payments: At the inception of each arrangement that includes development milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within our or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until uncertainty associated with the approvals has been resolved. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation, on a relative standalone selling price basis, for which we recognize revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, we re-evaluate the probability of achieving such development and regulatory milestones and any related variable consideration constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Product Supply Services: Arrangements that include a promise for the future supply of drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the licensee’s discretion are generally considered as options. We assess if these options provide a material right to the licensee and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations.

Development Cost Reimbursements: Our collaboration arrangements may include promises of future clinical development and drug safety services, as well as participation on certain joint committees. When such services are provided to a customer, and they are distinct from the licenses provided to our collaboration partners, these promises are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, which we estimate using internal development costs incurred and projections through the term of the arrangements. We record revenues for these services as the performance obligations are satisfied over time based on measure of progress. However, if we conclude that our collaboration partner is not a customer for those collaborative research and development activities, we present such payments as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Profit-sharing Arrangements: Under the terms of our collaboration agreement with Genentech for cobimetinib, we are entitled to a share of U.S. profits and losses received in connection with the commercialization of cobimetinib. We account for this arrangement in accordance with Topic 606. We have determined that we are an agent under the agreement and therefore revenues are recorded net of costs incurred. We record revenues for the variable consideration associated with the profits and losses under the collaboration agreement when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur.

Royalty and Sales-based Milestone Payments: For arrangements that include royalties and sales-based milestone payments, including milestone payments earned for the first commercial sale of a product, the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which such payments relate and we recognize revenues at the later of when the related sales occur or when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is related to our product revenues and consists primarily of a 3% royalty we are required to pay on all net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, the cost of manufacturing, indirect labor costs, write-downs related to expiring and excess inventory, shipping and other third-party logistics and distribution costs for our product.

We consider regulatory approval of product candidates to be uncertain and product manufactured prior to regulatory approval may not be sold unless regulatory approval is obtained. As such, the manufacturing costs for product candidates incurred prior to regulatory approval are not capitalized as inventory but are expensed as research and development costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist of (1) direct and indirect internal costs for drug discovery; (2) upfront license and project initiation fees, license option fees and option exercise fees, funded research and milestone payments incurred or probable to be incurred for our in-licensing arrangements with our collaboration partners for research programs in development and prior to regulatory approval; and (3) development costs associated with our clinical trial projects, which include fees paid to Contract Research Organizations (CRO) performing work on our behalf.

Our clinical trial projects have been executed with support from third-party CROs, who specialize in conducting and managing global clinical trials. We accrue expenses for clinical trial activities performed by the CROs based upon the estimated amount of work completed on each trial. For clinical trial expenses, the significant factors used in estimating accruals include direct CRO costs, the number of patients enrolled, the number of active clinical sites involved, the duration for which the patients will be enrolled in the trial and patient out of pocket costs. We monitor patient enrollment levels and related activities to the extent possible through CRO meetings and correspondence, internal reviews and review of contractual terms. We base our estimates on the best information available at the time. However, additional information may become available to us which may allow us to make a more accurate estimate in future periods. In this event, we may be required to record adjustments to research and development expenses in future periods when the actual level of activity becomes more certain. As described further above, certain payments made to us from our collaboration partners may be presented as a reduction of research and development expense.

Advertising

Advertising expenses were $51.7 million, $43.5 million and $40.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expense the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. Advertising expenses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based payments to employees, including grants of service-based restricted stock units (RSUs), performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), service-based stock options and purchases under our 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the Amended ESPP) in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires that stock-based payments (to the extent they are compensatory) be recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income based on their fair values. We account for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. The expense for stock-based compensation is based on the grant date fair value of the award. The grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs are estimated as the value of the underlying shares of our common stock. The grant date fair values for certain PSUs and RSUs with market vesting conditions are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model and for stock options, using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model. Both pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected volatility of our stock price and the expected term of the awards. We consider both implied and historical volatility when developing an estimate of expected volatility. We estimate the term using historical data. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period on an accelerated basis for awards with a market or performance condition and on a straight-line basis for service-based stock options and awards. Compensation expense related to PSUs is recognized when we determine that it is probable that the performance goals will be achieved, which we assess on a quarterly basis. Compensation expense related to RSUs with market vesting conditions is recognized regardless of the outcome of the market conditions.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is computed under the asset and liability method. Significant estimates are required in determining our provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts (temporary differences) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets, including net operating losses and tax credits, will not be realized. We periodically re-assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets based on various factors including our historical earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, and forecasts of future operating results and utilization of net operating losses and tax credits prior to their expiration. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment and, to the extent that a reversal of any portion of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets is deemed appropriate, a tax benefit will be recognized against our provision for income taxes in the period of such reversal. Based on our evaluation and weighing of both positive and negative evidence, including our achievement of a cumulative three-year income position as of December 31, 2025 and forecasts of future operating results, as well as considering the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits prior to their expiration, management has continued to determine that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets are realizable and therefore, we do not have a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as described in “Note 10. Provision For Income Taxes”, below. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our California state deferred tax assets and federal and state capital loss carryforwards.

We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. An adverse resolution of one or more of these uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on the results of operations for that period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (ASU 2025-12), which addresses thirty-three issues, representing amendments to Accounting Standard Codification topics that clarify, correct errors or make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for us in our annual reporting for fiscal year 2027, and in our interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted on an issue-by-issue basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-12 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (ASU 2025-11), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. ASU 2025-11 provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for us in our annual reporting for fiscal year 2028, and in our interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-11 to have a material impact 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.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06) to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages and clarifying the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for us in our annual reporting for fiscal year 2028 on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective reporting are permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-06 to have a material impact 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.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $6.1 million, $6.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in revenues that were included in the beginning deferred revenues balance for those years.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $213.1 million, $351.9 million and $179.7 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 December 31, 2025, $21.5 million of 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 — Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations —Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations” 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.

Under these collaborations, we are generally entitled to receive milestone and royalty payments, and for certain collaborations, to receive payments for product supply services, development cost reimbursements, and/or profit-sharing payments. See “Note 3. Revenues” for additional information on revenues recognized under our collaboration agreements during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations

Ipsen Collaboration

Description of the 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.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, Ipsen opted into and is now co-funding the development costs for CABINET, a phase 3 pivotal study that evaluated cabozantinib versus placebo in patients with either advanced pNET) or advanced epNET who experienced progression after prior systemic therapy. Under the terms of the agreement, Ipsen is now obligated to reimburse us for its share of the CABINET global development costs. We determined that Ipsen’s decision to opt into and co-fund the development costs for CABINET represented a contract modification for additional distinct services at its standalone selling price and therefore was treated as a separate contract under Topic 606. Accordingly, collaboration services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes a cumulative catch-up for Ipsen’s share of global development costs incurred since the beginning of the study and through the opt-in date.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen was amended and restated to, among other things, modify the amount of reimbursements we receive for costs associated with pharmacovigilance activities. The change in transaction price represents a contract modification related to an ongoing performance obligation that was not distinct from services previously provided and, therefore, was treated as a modification of an existing contract under Topic 606. Accordingly, collaboration services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes a retrospective cumulative catch-up adjustment for the reduction in the transaction price based on an input-based measure of progress, which was not material.

Unless earlier terminated, the collaboration agreement has a term that continues, on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, until the latter of (1) the expiration of patent claims related to cabozantinib, (2) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity covering cabozantinib or (3)ten years after the first commercial sale of cabozantinib, other than

COMETRIQ. A related supply agreement will continue in effect until expiration or termination of the collaboration agreement. The collaboration agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach of either the collaboration agreement or the supply agreement by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. We may terminate the collaboration agreement if Ipsen challenges or opposes any patent covered by the collaboration agreement. Ipsen may terminate the collaboration agreement if the FDA or European Medicines Agency (EMA) orders or requires substantially all cabozantinib clinical trials to be terminated. Ipsen also has the right to terminate the collaboration agreement on a region-by-region basis after the first commercial sale of cabozantinib in advanced RCC in the given region. Upon termination by either party, all licenses granted by us to Ipsen will automatically terminate, and, except in the event of a termination by Ipsen for our material breach, the licenses granted by Ipsen to us shall survive such termination and shall automatically become worldwide, or, if Ipsen were to terminate only for a particular region, then for the terminated region. Following termination by us for Ipsen’s material breach, or termination by Ipsen without cause or because we undergo a change of control by a party engaged in a competing program, Ipsen is prohibited from competing with us for a period of time.

Consideration under the Collaboration

In consideration for the exclusive license and other rights contained in the collaboration agreement, including commercialization rights in Canada, we received aggregate upfront payments of $210.0 million from Ipsen in 2016. As of December 31, 2025, we have achieved aggregate milestones of $659.2 million related to regulatory, development and sales-based threshold by Ipsen since the inception of the collaboration agreement, including $5.0 million and $164.7 million in milestone payments achieved during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, we are eligible to receive an additional regulatory milestone payment from Ipsen of $2.0 million as well as sales-based milestones of up to $200.0 million and CAD$23.5 million. We excluded these milestone payments from the transaction price as of December 31, 2025 because we determined such payments to be fully constrained under Topic 606 due to the fact that it was not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these milestones. We will adjust the constraint applied to the variable consideration at each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. See“—Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations,” below, for additional information related to the revenue recognition for this collaboration.

We also receive royalty revenues on the net sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen outside of the U.S. and Japan. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and going forward, we are entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 22% to 26% on annual net sales, with separate tiers for Canada; these royalty tiers reset each calendar year.

Any variable consideration related to royalties and sales-based milestones will be recognized when the related sales occur as these amounts have been determined to relate to the relevant transferred license and therefore are recognized as the related sales occur.

We are required to pay a 3% royalty on all net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, including net sales by Ipsen.

We are responsible for funding cabozantinib-related development costs for those trials in existence at the time we entered into the collaboration agreement with Ipsen; global development costs for additional trials are shared between the parties, with Ipsen reimbursing us for 35% of such costs, provided Ipsen chooses to opt into such trials. Ipsen has opted into and is co-funding certain clinical trials, including: CheckMate -9ER, COSMIC-021, COSMIC-311, COSMIC-312, CONTACT-01, CONTACT-02 and CABINET.

We remain responsible for manufacturing and supply of cabozantinib for all development and commercialization activities under the collaboration agreement. Relatedly, we entered into a supply agreement with Ipsen to supply finished, labeled drug product to Ipsen for distribution in the territories outside of the U.S. and Japan for the term of the collaboration agreement as well as a quality agreement that provides respective quality responsibilities for the aforementioned supply. The product is supplied at our cost, as defined in the agreement. This agreement also requires us to maintain the global safety database for cabozantinib. To meet our obligations to regulatory authorities for the reporting of safety data from territories outside of U.S. and Japan from sources other than our sponsored global clinical development trials, we rely on data collected and reported to us by Japan.

Revenues from the Collaboration

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

Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
License revenues$170,270$317,026$135,818
Collaboration services revenues(16,105)1,6079,151
Total collaboration revenues$154,165$318,633$144,969

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $4.3 million in license revenues and $0.4 million in collaboration services revenues in connection with a $5.0 million regulatory milestone payment, upon approval by the European Commission for the treatment of patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $150.0 million in license revenues related to a commercial milestone from Ipsen upon its achievement of $600.0 million in cumulative net sales of cabozantinib over four consecutive quarters in its related Ipsen license territory and $2.2 million in license revenues for a commercial milestone from Ipsen upon its achievement of CAD$30.0 million in cumulative net sales of cabozantinib over four consecutive quarters in Canada. In addition, we recognized $10.8 million in license revenues and $0.6 million in collaboration services revenues, in connection with a $12.5 million regulatory milestone payment, upon submission of a variation application to the EMA for evaluating cabozantinib versus placebo in patients with either advanced pNET or advanced epNET.

Takeda Collaboration

Description of the Collaboration

In January 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Takeda, which was subsequently amended, to, among other things, modify the amount of reimbursements we receive, for costs associated with our required pharmacovigilance activities and milestones we are eligible to receive, as well as modify certain cost-sharing obligations related to the Japan-specific development costs associated with CONTACT-01 and CONTACT-02 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.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the collaboration and license agreement with Takeda was further amended to, among other things, grant Exelixis the right to develop and commercialize a competing product in Japan and modify certain cost sharing and milestone payments that may become payable if Takeda opts in to certain studies. We determined that this amendment represented a contract modification related to ongoing performance obligations that were not distinct from services previously provided and, therefore, was accounted for as a modification of an existing contract under Topic 606. As a result of the modification, we reallocated the revenues previously recognized and the remaining transaction price to the identified performance obligations in the modified contract based on their estimated relative standalone selling prices at the modification date. The standalone selling price of the license was estimated using a discounted cash flow model of projected income and costs, while the standalone selling prices of the research and development performance obligations were estimated based on costs incurred to date and projected future development costs over the term of the arrangement. The portion of the transaction price allocated to the license performance obligation was recognized immediately, as the license represents functional intellectual property transferred at a point in time. The portion allocated to the research and development services performance obligations is recognized over time using an input-based measure of progress. As a result, a retrospective catch-up adjustment under Topic 606, which was not material, was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, resulting in an increase in license revenues and a decrease in collaboration services revenues.

Takeda is responsible for a portion of the costs associated with the cabozantinib development plan’s current and future trials, provided Takeda opts into such trials, and 100% of costs associated with the cabozantinib development activities that are exclusively for the benefit of Japan. Takeda has opted into and is co-funding CheckMate -9ER, certain cohorts of COSMIC-021, CONTACT-01 and CONTACT-02. Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, Takeda has 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.

Unless earlier terminated, the collaboration agreement has a term that continues, on a product-by-product basis, until the earlier of (1)two years after first generic entry with respect to such product in Japan or (2) the later of (A) the expiration of patent claims related to cabozantinib and (B) the expiration of regulatory exclusivity covering cabozantinib in Japan. The collaboration agreement may be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach by the other party, bankruptcy of the other party or for safety reasons. We may terminate the agreement if Takeda challenges or opposes any patent covered by the collaboration agreement. After the commercial launch of cabozantinib in Japan, Takeda may terminate the collaboration agreement upon twelve months’ prior written notice following the third anniversary of the first commercial sale of cabozantinib in Japan. Upon termination by either party, all licenses granted by us to Takeda will automatically terminate, and the licenses granted by Takeda to us shall survive such termination and shall automatically become worldwide.

Consideration under the Collaboration

In consideration for the exclusive license and other rights contained in the collaboration agreement, we received an upfront payment of $50.0 million from Takeda in 2017. As of December 31, 2025, we have also achieved regulatory, development and commercial milestones in the aggregate of $138.0 million since the inception of the collaboration agreement, including $11.0 million in milestones achieved during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Under the collaboration agreement, as amended, we are eligible to receive additional regulatory and development milestone payments, without contractual limit, for additional potential future indications. We are further eligible to receive commercial milestone payments, including milestone payments earned for the first commercial sale of a product, of $108.0 million. We excluded these milestone payments from the transaction price as of December 31, 2025 because we determined such payments to be fully constrained under Topic 606 due to the fact that it was not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur, given the inherent uncertainty of success with these milestones. We will adjust the constraint applied to the variable consideration at each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

We also receive royalty revenues on the net sales of cabozantinib in Japan. We are entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 15% to 24% on the initial $300.0 million of net sales, and following this initial $300.0 million of net sales, we are then entitled to receive a tiered royalty of 20% to 30% on annual net sales thereafter; these 20% to 30% royalty tiers reset each calendar year. Any variable consideration related to royalties and sales-based milestones will be recognized when the related sales occur as these amounts have been determined to relate to the relevant transferred license and therefore are recognized as the related sales occur.

We are required to pay a 3% royalty on all net sales of any product containing cabozantinib, including net sales by Takeda.

Under the collaboration agreement, we are responsible for the manufacturing and supply of cabozantinib for all development and commercialization activities under the collaboration agreement. Relatedly, we entered into a clinical supply agreement covering the supply of cabozantinib to Takeda for the term of the collaboration agreement, as well as a quality agreement that provides respective quality responsibilities for the aforementioned supply. Furthermore, at the time we entered into the collaboration agreement, the parties also entered into a safety data exchange agreement, which defines each partner’s responsibility for safety reporting. This agreement also requires us to maintain the global safety database for cabozantinib. To meet our obligations to regulatory authorities for the reporting of safety data from Japan from sources other than our sponsored global clinical development trials, we rely on data collected and reported to us by Takeda.

Revenues from the Collaboration

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

Year Ended December 31,

Performance Obligations and Transaction Prices for our Ipsen and Takeda Collaborations

There is one remaining performance obligation for the Ipsen collaboration agreement: the research and development services, which includes certain committed studies for the development of cabozantinib, pharmacovigilance services and participation on various joint committees (as defined in the specific collaboration agreements). As part of the original contract, we also had a performance obligation associated with exclusive license for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib, which was transferred in 2016.

There are two remaining performance obligations for the Takeda collaboration agreement: (1) the research and development services, which includes certain committed studies for the development of cabozantinib, pharmacovigilance services and participation on various joint committees (as defined in the specific collaboration agreements) and (2) the research and development services associated with CONTACT-01, CONTACT-02, and certain cohorts of COSMIC-021 studies. As part of the original contract, we had a performance obligation associated with the exclusive license for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib, which was transferred in 2017.

We have allocated the transaction price for each of these collaborations to the originally identified performance obligations based on our best estimate of their relative standalone selling price. Any change to the transaction price resulting from a modification is allocated to the remaining performance obligations at the modification date based on the relative standalone selling price of the identified modified performance obligations. For the licenses, the estimate of the relative standalone selling price was determined using a discounted cash flow valuation utilizing forecasted revenues and costs. For research and development services the estimate of the relative standalone selling price was determined using an adjusted market assessment approach that relies on internal and external costs and market factors.

The portion of the transaction price allocated to our license performance obligation is recorded immediately as our license represents functional intellectual property that was transferred at a point in time. The portion of the transaction price allocated to our research and development services performance obligation is being recognized as revenue using the inputs method based on our internal development projected cost estimates through the current estimated patent expiration of cabozantinib in the European Union for the Ipsen collaboration and Japan for the Takeda collaboration, both of which are early 2030.

We adjust the constraint applied to the variable consideration for the collaboration agreements in each reporting period as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur and we allocate those changes in the transaction price between our performance obligations. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the transaction price of the Ipsen and Takeda collaboration agreements increased, primarily as a result of the achievement of various milestones, and the reimbursements of research and development services related to committed and opt-in studies. We further updated the transaction price based upon the actual research and development services performed during the period and changes in our estimated reimbursements for our future research and development services. The portion of the increase in transaction price that was allocated to the previously satisfied performance obligations for the transfer of an intellectual property license was recognized during the period and the portion allocated to research and development services will be recognized in future periods as those services are delivered through early 2030. As of December 31, 2025, variable consideration related to the remaining unearned regulatory and development milestones for both agreements remained constrained due to the fact that it was not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur.

Cabozantinib and Zanzalintinib Development Collaborations

We have entered into multiple collaboration and supply agreements for the purpose of evaluating cabozantinib or zanzalintinib in various combination trials. Under these collaborations, clinical trials may be sponsored either by us or by our partners, and each party may supply its respective compound for use in the studies at no cost to the other. These arrangements fall within the scope of Topic 808 because they involve joint operating activities in which both parties actively participate and share significant risks and rewards. Payments exchanged between us and our collaborators under these agreements are not subject to other accounting literature. Amounts owed for our portion of clinical trial costs incurred by the collaborator are recorded as research and development expenses, while amounts due from the collaborator for their share of clinical trial costs that we incur are recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses.

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 $86.5 million, $75.5 million and $68.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, 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 years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $25.7 million, $69.2 million and $173.0 million, respectively, within research and development expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily related to upfront payments for the purchase or in-licensing of intellectual property, research and development funding and development milestone payments related to costs of intellectual property that have not yet reached technological feasibility and other fees.

As of December 31, 2025, in conjunction with these 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 $2.5 billion, each in the aggregate per product or target, as well as royalties on future net sales of products.

There were 35 and 255 debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 ourmarketable 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.

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):

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 cash, receivables and payables, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

We may enter 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 December 31, 2025, we hadone forward contract outstanding to sell €3.4 million. The forward contract with a maturity ofthree months is recorded at fair value and is included in other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized gain on the forward contract was immaterial as of December 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 the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our forward contracts are included in other income (expenses), net on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

Employee stock purchase plan4,2493,6134,174
Total stock-based compensation expense$112,983$93,836$106,345

We have an equity incentive plan under which we grant stock options and RSUs, including market condition-based RSUs and PSUs to employees and directors. As of December 31, 2025,15.8 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.

The Board of Directors delegated responsibility for administration of our equity incentive plan to the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, including the authority to determine the term, exercise price and vesting requirements of each grant. Stock options granted to our employees and directors generally have afour-year vesting term and aone-year vesting term, respectively, an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, and aseven-year life from the date of grant. RSUs granted to our employees and directors generally have afour-year vesting term and aone-year vesting term, respectively. PSUs granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans vest upon specified service conditions and the achievement of a performance target or market condition.

We have adopted a Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan for certain executive officers. Eligible Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan participants include employees with the title of vice president and above. If a participant’s employment is terminated without cause during a period commencing three months before and ending fifteen months following a change in control, as defined in the plan document, then the Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan participant is entitled to have the vesting of all their outstanding equity awards accelerated and the exercise period for their stock options extended to no more than one year.

We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the Amended ESPP) that allows for qualified employees (as defined in the Amended ESPP) to purchase shares of our common stock at a price equal to the lower of 85%of the closing price at the beginning of the offering period or 85%of the closing price at the end of eachsix-month purchase period. As of December 31, 2025, we had 6.6 million shares available for issuance under our Amended ESPP. Pursuant to the Amended ESPP, we issued 0.4 million,0.7 million and 0.9 million shares of common stock at an average price per share of $29.51, $18.23 and $14.56 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash received from purchases under the Amended ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $13.1 million, $12.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

We used a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model to value stock options and ESPP purchases. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of stock options and ESPP purchases were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
Stock options$19.46$9.79$9.45
ESPP$10.03$6.39$4.67

The grant-date fair value of stock option grants and ESPP purchases was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
Stock options:
Risk-free interest rate4.0%4.4%4.1%
Dividend yield—%—%—%

ESPP:
Risk-free interest rate4.2%5.2%5.1%
Dividend yield—%—%—%
Volatility42%34%40%
Expected life6 months6 months6 months

We considered both implied and historical volatility in developing our estimate of expected volatility. The assumption for the expected life of stock options is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates with the same or similar term as the underlying award. Our dividend rate is based on historical experience and our investors’ current expectations.

The fair value of RSUs was based on the closing price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Activity for stock options, during the year ended December 31, 2025, was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

As of December 31, 2025, there was $0.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to our unvested stock options. The compensation expense for the unvested stock options will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between our closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal year 2025 and the exercise prices, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the stock option holders had all stock option holders exercised their stock options on December 31, 2025. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $45.9 million, $16.7 million and $16.7 million, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $36.1 million, $49.6 million and $20.8 million, respectively.

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. The 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 and September 2025, we awarded to employees an aggregate of 7.2 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 the performance period, which is March 31, 2025 through March 31, 2030. 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.

In February 2024, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 1.3 million RSUs (the target number) that are subject to a total shareholder return (TSR) market condition (the 2024 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 December 30, 2023 through January 1, 2027. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2024 TSR-based RSUs may earn up to 175% of the target number of shares.50% of the shares earned pursuant to the 2024 TSR-based RSU awards 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 2024 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 April 2023, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 0.8 million RSUs (the target amount) that are subject to a TSR market condition (the 2023 TSR-based RSUs). The TSR market condition was based on our relative TSR percentile rank compared to companies in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index during the performance period, which was December 31, 2022 through January 2, 2026. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2023 TSR-based RSUs could have earned up to 175% of the target number of shares. At the end of fiscal year 2025 (end of the performance period), the TSR market condition was achieved at 175% level, resulting in 1.0 million shares earned (175% of the 2023 TSR-based RSUs target amount, net of forfeitures).50% percent of the shares earned subject to the market conditions vested shortly after the end of the performance period, and the remainder will vest approximately one year later, subject to an employee’s continuous service.

We used a Monte Carlo simulation model and the following weighted-average assumptions to determine the weighted-average grant date fair value of $47.58 per share for the 2025 TSR-based RSUs, $25.26 per share for the 2025 stock price target-based RSUs, $20.19 per share for the 2024 TSR-based RSUs, and $26.05 per share for the 2023 TSR-based RSUs:

2025 TSR-Based RSUs2025 stock price target-based RSUs2024 TSR-Based RSUs2023 TSR-Based RSUs
Fair value of Exelixis common stock on grant date$37.53$37.09$21.71$19.48
Expected volatility33%38%37%40%
Risk-free interest rate4.0%3.9%4.4%3.8%
Dividend yield—%—%—%—%

The Monte Carlo simulation model 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 remaining 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.

Exelixis, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan)

We sponsor the 401(k) Plan under which we make matching cash contributions to our employees’ 401(k) accounts. We recorded compensation expense of $12.8 million, $15.0 million and $13.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for matching contributions.

Common Stock Repurchases

In August 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (SRP) 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. In October 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750.0 million of our common stock before December 31, 2026 (the October 2025 SRP). As of December 31, 2025, we have repurchased 30.2 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,159.7 million under these SRPs and have completed the SRPs authorized in August 2024 and February 2025. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $590.2 million remained available under the October 2025 SRP for future stock repurchases before December 31, 2026.

Stock repurchases under these SRPs 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 SRPs 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. These SRPs do not obligate us to acquire any amount of our common stock, and the SRPs may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we continue to carry a valuation allowance of $87.7 million and $86.0 million, respectively, against our California state deferred tax assets and federal and state capital loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance increased by $1.6 million and $3.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

At December 31, 2025, we had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $407.2 million, which expire in the years 2028 through 2039, and California research and development tax credits of approximately $56.9 million, which do not expire.

Under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions, certain substantial changes in our ownership could result in an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss and credit carryforwards that can be utilized in future years to offset future taxable income. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credit carryforwards before utilization. We completed a Section 382 analysis through December 31, 2025, and concluded that an ownership change, as defined under Section 382, had not occurred.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,

Reductions based on the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations(11,629)(68)(4,708)
Ending balance$111,895$127,500$115,766

As of December 31, 2025, we had $111.9 million in unrecognized tax benefits, of which $54.9 million would reduce our income tax provision and effective tax rate, if recognized. We have elected to record interest and penalties in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of provision for income taxes. In the year ended December 31, 2025, the total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued was $15.1 million. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the total amount of gross interest and penalties accrued was $8.1 million. In the year ended December 31, 2023, interest and penalties were nominal. Both the unrecognized tax benefits and the associated interest and penalties are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year and are therefore classified as other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We file U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statues of limitations during which such tax returns may be audited and adjusted by the relevant tax authorities. The tax years 2006 and onwards generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities to the extent net operating losses and credits generated during these periods are being utilized in the open tax periods.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025, which, among other provisions, permanently repeals the requirement to capitalize domestic R&E expenditures for federal income tax purposes for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, and allows for the accelerated deduction of any remaining unamortized domestic R&E expenditures. Foreign R&E expenditures are still required to be capitalized and amortized ratably over 15 years. The impact of the OBBBA must be recognized in the period of enactment under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The impact of this OBBBA provision has resulted in a $191.0 million reduction of our federal deferred tax assets at the end of the fiscal year 2025. The other provisions of the OBBBA had minimal impact to our federal income tax provision and federal deferred tax assets.

NOTE 11. NET INCOME PER SHARE

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

Year Ended December 31,
202520242023
Numerator:
Net income$782,570$521,267$207,765
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic271,567290,030318,151
Dilutive securities10,2966,1023,313
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - diluted281,863296,132321,464
Net income per share - basic$2.88$1.80$0.65
Net income per share - diluted$2.78$1.76$0.65

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 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 period. Dilutive common shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, unvested RSUs (including market conditions-based RSUs), and 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 or from market conditions-based RSUs 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):

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

We have operating leases for our corporate headquarters in Alameda, California and in Greater Philadelphia area which includes both office and laboratory space totaling approximately 639,000 square feet with lease terms ending in 2026 through 2037. Certain of our leases include options to renew the lease or to early terminate the lease. As of December 31, 2025, we considered whether these options to renew or early terminate were reasonably certain of exercise in determining the related lease terms.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In connection with our 2024 Plan, as discussed in “Note 13. Restructuring”, we exitedtwo leases in the Greater Philadelphia area pertaining to approximately 40,000 square feet of leased premises and performed an impairment analysis for these asset groups, primarily composed of right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements, and certain property and equipment. We reassessed the lease term for one of the leases in the Greater Philadelphia area and concluded we were reasonably certain to exercise our right to early terminate the lease and reduced our right-of-use asset and lease liability by $3.3 million. In connection with the 2024 Plan, we recognized $12.7 million of non-cash impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2024, to reduce the carrying value of these long-lived assets at their fair value. The impairment charge is presented in restructuring in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

During fiscal 2024, we evaluated our plans for the Alameda leased facilities and listed certain buildings for sublease. As a result, we determined the related right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements should be evaluated for impairment as separate asset groups. We concluded that these asset groups were not recoverable and we recognized $51.7 million of non-cash impairment charge and reduced the carrying value of our right-of-use assets pertaining to approximately 215,000 square feet of leased premises, reduced the leasehold improvements and certain property and equipment, to their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value was determined using an income approach comprised of projected discounted cash flows that included certain Level 3 inputs, such as sublease income and discount rates. The assumptions associated with sublease income and discount rates are subject to risks and uncertainties and could materially differ from our estimates. The impairment charge is presented in impairment of long-lived assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

The balance sheet classification of our operating lease assets and liabilities 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 (the ’776 Patent), 9,724,342, formulations (the ’342 Patent), 10,034,873, methods of treatment (the ’873 Patent), and 10,039,757, methods of treatment (the ’757 Patent), 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 (the ’473 Patent) or 8,497,284, methods of treatment (the ’284 Patent), 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 the ’776 Patent 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 the ’776 Patent 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 ’473 and ’284 Patents. On May 11, 2020, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of these patents, and on May 22, 2020, MSN filed its response, alleging that the asserted claims of these 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 (the ’549 Patent) is invalid and would not be infringed by MSN if its generic version of CABOMETYX tablets were approved by the FDA. This ’549 Patent 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 the ’549 Patent 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 the ’473 Patent. The Delaware District Court also ruled that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe the ’776 Patent. 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 the ’473 Patent. 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 (the ’439 Patent), 11,091,440, pharmaceutical composition (the ’440 Patent), and 11,098,015, methods of treatment (the ’015 Patent). On February 23, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents 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 the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents 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 (the ’349 Patent). On July 18, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of the ’349 Patent 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 the ’349 Patent are invalid and not infringed and amended its challenges to the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents 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 the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents, 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 these patents 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 the ’439, ’440, ’015, and ’349 Patents, 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 the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents. The Delaware District Court also ruled that the ’349 Patent 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 the ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents, subject to our potential additional regulatory exclusivity.

On November 22, 2024, MSN noticed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) 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 the ’439, ’440, ’015, and ’349 Patents are invalid. On June 10, 2025, the CAFC granted our request to dismiss our cross-appeal. On June 11, 2025, we filed our Response Brief. On August 1, 2025, MSN filed its Reply Brief.

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 (the ’039 Patent), 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 this patent 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 the ’039 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. On May 1, 2025, we filed our answer to MSN’s counterclaim. On August 18, 2025, 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 the ’039 Patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid or unenforceable, 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 the ’039 Patent would also infringe certain claims of the patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid or unenforceable. This litigation has been consolidated with the Sun and Azurity litigations for the trial scheduled for November 2, 2026 (Consolidated Litigation). For additional information on the Consolidated Litigation, see “– Legal Proceedings – Consolidated Litigation.”

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 the ’776 Patent, the ’342 Patent, the ’873 Patent, the ’757 Patent, the ’439 Patent, the ’440 Patent, the ’015 Patent, and the ’349 Patent, 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 the ’776, ’439, ’440, and ’015 Patents. On January 22, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue 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 the ’776, ’439, ’440, ’015, ’342, ’873, ’757, and ’349 Patents. On March 14, 2025, we filed our answer to Sun’s counterclaims.

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 ’039 Patent, 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 the ’039 Patent arising from Sun’s amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On June 9, 2025, Sun filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the ’039 Patent are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed. On June 30, 2025, we filed our answer to Sun’s counterclaim.

These Sun litigations were consolidated in the Consolidated Litigation.

In December 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement (Sun Settlement Agreement) with Sun. In accordance with the Sun Settlement Agreement, the parties terminated all ongoing Hatch-Waxman litigation between Exelixis and Sun regarding CABOMETYX patents pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. These Sun litigations were terminated on December 30, 2025. On December 30, 2025, in accordance with the Sun Settlement Agreement, Sun was dismissed from the Consolidated Litigation.

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 tablets. Azurity’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the ’776 Patent, the ’342 Patent, the ’873 Patent, the ’757 Patent, the ’439 Patent, the ’440 Patent, the ’015 Patent, the ’349 Patent, and the ’039 Patent 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 the ’776, ’439, ’440, ’015, ’349, and ’039 Patents. On April 24, 2025, we filed our First Amended Complaint alleging infringement of the same patents. On June 11, 2025, Azurity filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of the patents at issue are not infringed and/or invalid. On July 2, 2025, we filed our answer to Azurity’s counterclaims. On July 28, 2025 Azurity filed motions for judgment on the pleadings regarding the non-infringement of the ’776, ’439, ’440, ’015, ’349, and ’039 Patents. On August 25, 2025, we filed our answering briefs to Azurity’s motions for judgment on the pleadings. On September 15, 2025, Azurity filed its reply briefs. This Azurity litigation was consolidated in the Consolidated Litigation.

Consolidated Litigation

On August 8, 2025, the Delaware District Court ordered that the then-pending abovementioned MSN, Sun, and Azurity district court litigations be consolidated with the trial scheduled for November 2, 2026. On December 30, 2025, in accordance with the Sun Settlement Agreement, Sun was dismissed from the Consolidated Litigation.

Other

In November 2025, we received a notice letter regarding a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application submitted to the FDA by Handa Oncology, LLC (Handa), requesting approval to market cabozantinib capsules (in the form of cabozantinib lauryl sulfate). Handa’s notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to the ’776 Patent, the ’342 Patent, the ’873 Patent, the ’757 Patent, the ’439 Patent, the ’440 Patent, the ’015 Patent, the ’349 Patent, and the ’039 Patent which are listed in the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. Handa’s notice letter also included a Paragraph III certification with respect to the ’473 patent. The company continues to evaluate all legal and strategic options with respect to Handa’s product.

The sale of any cabozantinib products, including tablets and/or capsules, 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.

NOTE 13. RESTRUCTURING

In August 2025, our Board of Directors authorized, and we implemented, a corporate reorganization plan (the 2025 Plan) to reorganize our workforce and close our office located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Restructuring expenses incurred under the 2025 Plan are primarily severance and employee-related costs. The total restructuring costs, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025, associated with the 2025 Plan were $20.5 million and are presented in the restructuring expense line item within our Consolidated Statements of Income. We incurred the majority of the costs related to the 2025 Plan during the third quarter of 2025 and substantially completed the 2025 Plan by the end of the fiscal year 2025.

The restructuring activities and balances as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, were as follows (in thousands):

(4)Consisted of severance and employee-related costs from the 2024 Plan (as defined below), paid in the first quarter of 2025.

In January 2024, our Board of Directors authorized, and we implemented, a corporate restructuring plan (the 2024 Plan) to reduce our workforce and rebalance our cost structure in alignment with our strategic priorities. Restructuring expenses incurred under the 2024 Plan included: severance and employee-related costs; impairment of long-lived assets; and contract termination and other exit costs. The total restructuring costs, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, associated with the 2024 Plan were $33.7 million in expenses and were recorded to the restructuring expense line item within our Consolidated Statements of Income as they were incurred through the end of the plan. We incurred the majority of the costs related to the 2024 Plan during the first quarter of 2024.
