Significant Developments - First Quarter of 2026
Current report
Ampreloxetine Phase 3 Clinical Study Top-line Results
Current report
On March 3, 2026, we announced that our ampreloxetine Phase 3 clinical study (CYPRESS) in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in patients with multiple system atrophy did not meet its primary endpoint in the Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment composite score. As a result of this outcome, we are in the process of winding down the ampreloxetine program.
Current report
Strategic Review Committee
Current report
In connection with the CYPRESS study results, the Strategic Review Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Committee") is accelerating its ongoing review of alternatives to maximize value for shareholders. Since its formation in 2024, the Committee has been working on an ongoing basis with Lazard, its independent financial advisor, to evaluate opportunities available to the Company, including under multiple potential outcomes for the CYPRESS study. Building upon this work, the Committee is acting with urgency to evaluate a broad range of value maximizing and tax efficient alternatives, including but not limited to a sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Committee's strategic review process will result in any transaction. We do not intend to disclose further developments on this review process unless and until it determines that such disclosure is appropriate or necessary. As we proceed with the orderly wind down of the ampreloxetine program, we will complete additional analyses of the CYPRESS dataset and Phase 3 program, in consultation with external experts, to inform any regulatory engagement in the context of the Committee’s ongoing strategic review. This assessment is intended to provide the Committee with additional clarity regarding any remaining value in ampreloxetine for our shareholders. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any regulatory engagement or its impact on the Committee’s evaluation of alternatives.
Current report
Organizational Restructuring
Current report
While the Committee accelerates its review, we are implementing an organizational restructuring (the “Restructuring”) to streamline costs and align our resources with our commercial focus on YUPELRI. The Restructuring involves winding down our R&D function and significantly reducing our G&A function. The Restructuring is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately 60%, relative to 2025 operating expenses of $111.1 million. The full run-rate cost savings of approximately $70 million are expected to be realized beginning in the third quarter of 2026.
Current report
Ampreloxetine
Current report
On March 3, 2026, we announced that the CYPRESS study did not meet its primary endpoint in the OHSA composite score. The primary endpoint, the change in OHSA composite score at Week 8 during the double-blind randomized withdrawal period, was not statistically significant. Similar trends were observed in the secondary endpoints at week 8. Changes in blood pressure, heart rate and norepinephrine levels confirmed a consistent pressor effect and reaffirmed ampreloxetine's biological activity. Ampreloxetine was generally well tolerated, with safety findings consistent with prior studies, including no signal of worsening of supine hypertension.
Current report
As a result of the CYPRESS study results, we have decided to wind down the ampreloxetine program. As we proceed with the orderly wind down of the ampreloxetine program, we will complete additional analyses of the CYPRESS dataset and Phase 3 program, in consultation with external experts, to inform any regulatory engagement in the context of the Committee’s ongoing strategic review. This assessment is intended to provide us with additional clarity regarding any remaining value in ampreloxetine for our shareholders. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any regulatory engagement.

Current report
Future Royalty Payment Contingency
Current report
We treat contingent liabilities related to sale of future royalties as debt financings, amortized under the effective interest method over the estimated life of the related expected royalty stream. The contingent liabilities related to sale of future royalties and the debt amortization are based on current estimates of the amount and timing of future royalty payments. We periodically reassess the amount and timing of probability-adjusted estimated royalty payments based on internal sales projections and external information from market data sources, which are considered Level 3 inputs. To the extent our estimates of the amount and timing of future royalty payments are materially greater or less than previous estimates, we will prospectively adjust the amortization of the contingent liability and effective interest rate.
Current report
In periods in which updated estimates of the amount or timing of future royalty payments results in the undiscounted cash flows payable to be less than the current net carrying amount of the debt, we cease the recognition of interest expense on the royalty liability. Consistent with the accounting guidance applicable to debt financings, we do not reduce the net carrying amount of the royalty liability below its initial carrying amount, which represents the original proceeds received.
Current report
As a result of the Restructuring, we expect quarterly R&D expenses to continue to decrease year-over-year into the second half of 2026.
Current report
As a result of the Restructuring, we expect quarterly SG&A expenses to continue to decrease year-over-year into the second half of 2026.

Restructuring Expenses
Current report
Restructuring expenses, as compared to the prior year comparable period, were as follows:
Current report
NM: Not Meaningful
Current report
Total Restructuring expenses were $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and were primarily comprised of one-time severance costs and other employee-related separation costs.
Current report
We estimate that we will incur total cash expenses of approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million related to one-time sever ance costs which are expected to be incurred and paid through the third quarter of 2026. We estimate that we will also incur total non-cash Restructuring charges related to the modification of equity-based awards of approximately $3.5 million to $4.5 million through the third quarter of 2026.
Current report
We may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur because of, or that are associated with, the Restructuring.
Current report
On March 3, 2026, we announced that our ampreloxetine Phase 3 clinical study top-line results did not meet its primary endpoint. As a result of this outcome, we decided to wind down the ampreloxetine program, and in accordance with accounting guidance underASC 470, Debt, we ceased recognizing interest expense on the contingent liability balance beginning in the first quarter of 2026. As a result, there was no interest expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1.5 million primarily due to the Company’s pre-tax loss for the year-to-date period. For the prior year comparable period, the $0.6 million income tax benefit was primarily related to forecasted pre-tax losses.
Current report
In January 2026, we received a $25.0 million milestone payment from Viatris for the achievement of certain minimum US net sales thresholds in 2025, and in February 2026, we received a $50.0 million milestone payment from Royalty Pharma associated with certain royalty thresholds that were achieved by Royalty Pharma related to 2025 TRELEGY global net sales.
Removed paragraphs (18)
Previous report
To achieve the $25.0 million sales milestone for the year ending December 31, 2025, approximately $54.0 million in US net sales is required in the fourth quarter of 2025. By comparison, YUPELRI US net sales totaled $66.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Mid- and Long-Term Economic Interest in TRELEGY®
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we also recognized $7.5 million in licensing revenue related to YUPELRI’s regulatory approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) in June 2025.
Previous report
R&D expenses increased by $1.9 million for nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The $1.9 million increase was primarily attributed to a $1.6 million increase in external-related expenses which was primarily driven by the continued progression of the CYPRESS study and incremental NDA and regulatory-related activities associated with ampreloxetine.
Previous report
The $2.7 million increase in year-to-date G&A expenses (excluding SBC) compared to the prior year period was primarily due to one-time legal costs. Excluding the one-time legal costs, G&A expenses (excluding SBC) were 3% lower compared to the prior year period driven by cost savings initiatives. SM&M expenses (excluding SBC) increased by $2.8 million year-to-date 2025 compared to the prior year period and was primarily due to pre-launch medical affairs and commercialization expenses associated with ampreloxetine and an increase in employee-related expenses.
Previous report
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Previous report
Impairment of long-lived assets, as compared to the prior year comparable periods, was as follows:
Previous report
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $1.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to our vacant laboratory spaces and related leasehold improvements in South San Francisco, California, which were on the market for sublease. There was no charge for impairment of long-lived assets recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Previous report
Net Gain on Realized Contingent Milestone and Royalty Assets
Previous report
Net gain on realized contingent milestone and royalty assets was as follows:
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $75.1 million net gain on contingent milestone and royalty assets resulting from the sale of our TRELEGY royalties to GSK. This net gain reflects total cash proceeds of $225.0 million from GSK, less (i) the contingent milestone and royalty assets carrying value of $144.2 million and (ii) transaction costs of $5.7 million. We received the $225.0 million from GSK in June 2025.
Previous report
Although we sold the future royalties related to TRELEGY, we retained the right to receive the potential remaining $150.0 million in Milestone Payments from Royalty Pharma if certain TRELEGY global nets sales thresholds are achieved in 2025 and 2026.
Previous report
Interest expense was $0.6 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and represented non-cash interest expense associated with the $25.0 million received from Royalty Pharma in July 2022 to partially fund the CYPRESS study. We do not anticipate having any cash interest expense in the foreseeable future.
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an income tax expense of $11.3 million which was primarily attributed to the net gain on realized contingent milestone and royalty assets arising from the sale of our TRELEGY royalties in May 2025. For the prior year comparable period, the $5.2 million income tax expense was primarily related to uncertain tax positions, as well as interest expense on our uncertain tax position liability which we began to accrue in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an income tax benefit of $6.5 million driven by a favorable true-up related to taxes from the May 2025 TRELEGY royalty sale.
Previous report
In February 2025, we received a $50.0 million milestone from Royalty Pharma, which was the maximum that we could have received related to 2024 TRELEGY global net sales, and in June 2025, we received $225.0 million from GSK related to the Royalty Sales Agreement transaction.
Previous report
Net cash used in financing activities was $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, consisting primarily of $0.4 million of cash outflows related to the repurchase of ordinary shares as part of completion of our capital return program, $0.4 million of cash inflows related to the sale of shares through our employee share purchase program (“ESPP”) and $2.1 million of cash outflows related to the repurchase of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

In 2019, we granted Viatris exclusive development and commercialization rights to nebulized revefenacin in China and adjacent territories, which include the Hong Kong SAR, the Macau SAR, and Taiwan (collectively, the “China Region”). In November 2023, we learned that Viatris’ Phase 3 study of YUPELRI in China was positive, and the data were consistent with previous findings of YUPELRI’s strong efficacy. In June 2024, Viatris completed a registrational filing for YUPELRI in China, and on June 26, 2025, we announced that Viatris had secured regulatory approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) for YUPELRI. The regulatory approval triggered a one-time $7.5 million milestone payment from Viatris which we received on July 7, 2025. Viatris is responsible for all aspects of development and commercialization of YUPELRI in the China Region, including pre- and post-launch activities and product registration and all associated costs.

Ampreloxetine is an investigational, once-daily Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (“NRI”) that we are developing for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (“MSA”) patients with symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (“nOH”). nOH is caused by primary autonomic failure conditions and the majority of patients with MSA experience symptoms of nOH. Ampreloxetine has high affinity for binding to the norepinephrine (“NE”) transporter. By blocking the action of the NE transporter, ampreloxetine causes an increase in extracellular concentrations of norepinephrine. Ampreloxetine is wholly owned by Theravance Biopharma.

In June 2022, we held a Type C meeting with the FDA. From this meeting, we aligned on a path to a New Drug Application (“NDA”) filing with one additional Phase 3 clinical study (CYPRESS) in MSA patients with symptomatic nOH, using the OHSA composite score as the primary endpoint. This Phase 3 study was initiated in the first quarter of 2023, and the last patient was enrolled in the open label period of the study in late-August 2025. We expect top-line data to be available in the first quarter of 2026. In May 2023, we announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation status to ampreloxetine for the treatment of symptomatic nOH in patients with MSA.

Current wording
minimum royalty amount for TRELEGY was also achieved based on $3.91 billion of 2025 TRELEGY global net sales, and we received the maximum $50.0 million Milestone Payment from Royalty Pharma in February 2026.
Previous wording
With respect to 2026 TRELEGY global net sales, we are eligible to receive either (i) $50.0 million if Royalty Pharma receives $270.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales are approximately $3.16 billion or (ii) $100.0 million if Royalty Pharma receives $305.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales exceed approximately $3.51 billion. To achieve the higher $100.0 million milestone in 2026, TRELEGY global net sales would require less than a 2% increase over its 2024 global net sales.
Current wording
As of March 31, 2026, a total of up to $100.0 million in potential Milestone Payments remain available to us. For the next potential Milestone Payment, we are eligible to receive either (i) $50.0 million if Royalty Pharma receives $270.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK with respect to 2026 TRELEGY global net sales, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales are approximately $3.16 billion or (ii) $100.0 million if Royalty Pharma receives $305.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK with respect to 2026 TRELEGY global net sales, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales exceed approximately $3.51 billion.
Previous wording
Total 2024 TRELEGY global net sales represented a 26% increase compared to 2023, and TRELEGY is currently expected to generate global peak sales of approximately $4.0 billion in 2026 according to consensus estimates. TRELEGY global net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $979 million and $2.92 billion, respectively, which represented 24% and 13% year-over-year growth, respectively.
Current wording
Achievement of either the $50.0 million or $100.0 million milestone in 2026 would not require an increase in global net sales compared to 2025, as the $3.91 billion in global net sales achieved in 2025 exceeds the thresholds necessary to trigger either Milestone Payment in 2026. Total 2025 TRELEGY global net sales represented a 13% increase compared to 2024, and TRELEGY is currently expected to generate global sales of $4.2 billion in 2026 according to consensus estimates. TRELEGY global net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $873 million which represented a 2% year-over-year growth.
Previous wording
In addition to potential Milestone Payments, we were eligible to receive from Royalty Pharma 85% of the royalty payments on TRELEGY payable to Royalty Pharma for: (a) sales or other activities occurring on and after January 1, 2031 related to TRELEGY in the US; and (b) sales or other activities occurring on and after July 1, 2029 related to TRELEGY outside of the US. On a country-by-country basis, we were entitled to royalties until the expiration of the longest-lived patent or 15 years after commercial launch, whichever comes later. We expect fifteen years after the commercial launch in the US will occur in late 2032 and fifteen years after the first commercial launch in ex-US jurisdictions will start occurring in the mid-2030s. The TRELEGY royalties that were payable to us by Royalty Pharma are country specific. Total royalty rates were upward tiering from 6.5% to 10% and based on total annual global net sales as follows:

As of September 30, 2025, a total of $150.0 million in potential Milestone Payments remain available to us. For the next potential Milestone Payment, we are eligible to receive either (i) $25.0 million if Royalty Pharma receives $260.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK with respect to 2025 TRELEGY global net sales, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales are approximately $3.06 billion or (ii) $50.0 million if Royalty Pharma receives $295.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK with respect to 2025 TRELEGY global net sales, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales exceed approximately $3.41 billion. Achievement of either the $25.0 million or $50.0 million milestone in 2025 would not require an increase in global net sales compared to 2024, as the $3.46 billion in global net sales achieved in 2024 exceeds the threshold necessary to trigger the higher $50.0 million milestone payment in 2025.
