  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data, which is presented for comparative purposes, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (commonly referred to as “GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to state fairly the results of operations for the reported periods.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company, which are contained in the Annual Report. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for any full fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alkermes plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” accompanying the Annual Report. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Columns and rows within tables may not sum due to rounding.

Discontinued Operations

The Company determined that the separation of its oncology business in November 2023 met the criteria for classification of the oncology business as discontinued operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Discontinued Operations(“Topic 205”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that Company management make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue from contracts with its customers and related allowances, impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of investments and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has utilized the management approach to determine that the Company is managed asone segment on a consolidated basis and is in the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing medicines designed to help people living with complex and difficult-to-treat psychiatric and neurological disorders. The Company’s CODM, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating unit. The CODM measures profitability on a reportable segment basis using net income and utilizes this information in allocating resources and in assessing performance by monitoring budget versus actual results. Please refer to Note 15, Segment Reporting, in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for further information.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company on or prior to the specified effective date. Unless otherwise described in this Form 10-Q, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures in order to provide information to assist key stakeholders in better assessing how the Company’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect the Company’s tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This ASU becomes effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This guidance will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) in commonly-presented expense captions, such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. All disclosure requirements under this guidance are required for public business entities and effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this guidance will be applied prospectively to financial statements for periods after the effective dates. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Mural Oncology Separation

On November 15, 2023, the Company completed the separation of its oncology business into Mural Oncology plc (“Mural”), a new, independent, publicly-traded company (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, the Company and Mural entered into, among other agreements: a separation agreement; a tax matters agreement; and an employee matters agreement, which are described in Note 3, Discontinued Operations in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” accompanying the Annual Report.

Discontinued Operations

The Company determined that the Separation met the criteria for classification of the oncology business as discontinued operations in accordance with Topic 205. The following summarizes the loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

  1. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”): (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

Product Sales, Net

The Company’s product sales, net consist of sales in the U.S. of VIVITROL, ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO, and LYBALVI, primarily to wholesalers, specialty distributors and pharmacies. Product sales, net are recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, which is when the product has been received by the customer.

During thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded product sales, net, as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)20252024
VIVITROL100,996$97,659
ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO73,47578,870
LYBALVI70,02257,007
Total product sales, net$244,493$233,536

Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with the Company’s customers, healthcare providers or payers. The Company’s process for estimating reserves established for these variable consideration components does not differ materially from historical practices. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results vary, the Company adjusts these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment. See the “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” section in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesin the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report for information with respect to the Company’s significant categories of sales discounts and allowances.

Actual Medicaid utilization rebates related to VIVITROL during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were lower than original estimates, and as a result the Company reduced its rebate reserve by approximately $8.7 million during the period. Medicaid rebates for the Company’s other products have not differed materially from the Company’s estimates

A rollfor ward of the Company’s provisions for sales discounts and allowances is as follows:

In August 2024, the Company’s royalty on U.S. net sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA expired. Accordingly, the Company expects royalty revenues from net sales of the long-acting INVEGA products to continue to be lower in 2025, as the royalty revenues related to U.S. net sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA comprised a significant portion of the overall royalty revenues from the long-acting INVEGA products.

At March 31, 2025, the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities had a minimum rating of A2 (Moody’s)/A (Standard and Poor’s), and 44 of the Company’s 325 investment securities were in an unrealized loss position with an aggregate estimated fair value of $67.3 million. The primary reason these securities were in an unrealized loss position is that they are fixed-rate securities that were acquired in a rising interest rate environment. In making the determination whether the decline in fair value of these securities was temporary, the Company evaluated whether it intended to sell the security and whether it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery, which may be at maturity.

Realized gains and losses on the sales and maturities of investments, which were identified using the specific identification method, were as follows:

This was considered an accounting modification in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensationand resulted in a modification charge of approximately $6.8 million. In February 2024, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors also determined that the Company achieved the pipeline performance criteria for these awards, resulting in a $2.6 million incremental share-based compensation expense, as it was deemed such pipeline performance criteria had been met.

  1. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER ORDINARY SHARE

Basic earnings per ordinary share from continuing operations is calculated based upon net income from continuing operations available to holders of ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Basic loss per ordinary share from discontinued operations is calculated based upon net loss from discontinued operations available to holders of ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. For the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share from continuing operations and discontinuing operations, the Company utilizes the treasury stock method and adjusts the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the potential dilutive effect of outstanding ordinary share equivalents such as stock options and restricted stock unit awards.

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In determining future taxable income, the Company is responsible for assumptions that it utilizes, including the amount of Irish and non-Irish pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company uses to manage the underlying business.

The Company recorded income tax provisionsof $3.0 million and $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income tax provisions during these periods were primarily attributable to taxes on income earned in Ireland.

The Company’s effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 11.9% and 17.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in windfall benefits from employee equity activity. The effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024 exceeded the Irish statutory tax rate of 12.5%, primarily due to non-deductible expenses relating to share-based compensation and income that was taxable at rates higher than the Irish statutory tax rate.

(“FDA”) to market a generic version of INVEGA TRINZA before the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 10,143,693 (the “’693 Patent”). Requested judicial remedies include recovery of litigation costs and injunctive relief. In May 2023, the NJ District Court issued an opinion in favor of the Janssen entities on the issues of infringement and validity of the ’693 Patent and the Mylan entities filed a notice of appeal of the decision. On March 28, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit Court”) issued a decision affirming the NJ District Court opinion.
