Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Organization and Basisof Presentation
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc., or the Company, is a biopharmaceutical company incorporated in Delaware.
The Company is focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and commercialization of novel products for the treatment of serious rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases. The Company operates asone reportable segment and has four commercially approved products.
Crysvita® (burosumab) is approved in the United States, or U.S., the European Union, or EU, and certain other regions for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia, or XLH, in adult and pediatric patients one year of age and older. Crysvita is also approved in the U.S. and certain other regions for the treatment of fibroblast growth factor 23, or FGF23-related hypophosphatemia in tumor-induced osteomalacia, or TIO, associated with phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors that cannot be curatively resected or localized in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.
Mepsevii® (vestronidase alfa) is approved in the U.S., the EU and certain other regions, as the first medicine for the treatment of children and adults with mucopolysaccharidosis VII, or MPS VII, also known as Sly syndrome.
Dojolvi® (triheptanoin) is approved in the U.S. and certain other regions for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients severely affected by long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders, or LC-FAOD.
Evkeeza® (evinacumab) is approved in the U.S. and the European Economic Area, or EEA, and Japan for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or HoFH. The Company has exclusive rights to commercialize Evkeeza® (evinacumab) outside of the U.S.
In addition to the approved products, the Company has the following ongoing clinical development programs:
UX111 (formerly ABO-102) is an AAV9 gene therapy product candidate for the treatment of patients with Sanfilippo syndrome type A, or MPS IIIA, a rare lysosomal storage disease;
DTX401 is an adeno-associated virus 8, or AAV8, gene therapy product candidate for the treatment of patients with glycogen storage disease type Ia, or GSDIa;
GTX-102 is an antisense oligonucleotide, or ASO for the treatment of Angelman syndrome, a debilitating and rare neurogenetic disorder caused by loss-of-function of the maternally inherited allele of the UBE3A gene;
DTX301 is an AAV8 gene therapy product candidate in development for the treatment of patients with ornithine transcarbamylase, or OTC deficiency, the most common urea cycle disorder;
UX701 is an adeno-associated virus 9, or AAV9, gene therapy designed to deliver stable expression of a truncated version of the ATP7B copper transporter following a single intravenous infusion to improve copper distribution and excretion from the body and reverse pathological findings of Wilson liver disease; and
UX143 which is subject to the Company’s collaboration agreement with Mereo BioPharma 3, or Mereo, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits sclerostin, a protein that acts on a key bone-signaling pathway and inhibits the activity of bone-forming cells for the treatment of patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or OI.
The Company has sustained operating losses and expects such annual losses to continue in the near term. The Company’s ultimate success depends on the outcome of its research and development and commercialization activities. Through December 31, 2025, the Company has relied primarily on the sale of equity securities, revenues from commercial products, the sale of certain future royalties, and strategic collaboration arrangements to finance its operations. The Company may need to raise additional capital to fully implement its business plans through the issuance of equity, borrowings, or strategic alliances with partner companies. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels, the Company would need to reevaluate its operating plans.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company cons olidates any variable interest entity, or VIE, for which it is the primary beneficiary. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform with the current presentation.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates asone reportable segment relating to the research, development and commercialization of its products. The segment derives its current revenues from its four commercially approved products.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The CODM manages the Company’s operations on an integrated basis for the purpose of allocating resources. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM regularly reviews total revenues and total expenses and makes decisions using this information on a consolidated basis.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of expenses in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to clinical trial accruals, fair value of assets and liabilities, income taxes, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, and the liabilities for sales of future royalties. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market accounts.
Restricted cash primarily consists of money market accounts used as collateral for the Company’s obligations under its facility leases and to guarantee the fulfillment of certain sales orders to certain government-sponsored customers.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in millions):
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $421 | $174 | $214 |
| Restricted cash included in other current assets | 13 | 7 | 2 |
| Restricted cash included in other non-current assets | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statements of cash flows | $436 | $184 | $219 |
Marketable Securities
All marketable securities have been classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at estimated fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Investments with a maturity of one year or less from the balance sheet date are reported as current marketable securities and investments with a maturity of greater than one year from the balance sheet date are reported as non-current marketable securities. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses and declines in fair value judged to be other than temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in other expense. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Interest on investments is included in interest income.
Equity Investments
The Company records investments in equity securities, other than equity method investments, at fair market value, using market quotes when readily determinable. Equity securities with no readily determinable fair values are recorded using the measurement alternative of cost adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer less impairment, if any. Investments in equity securities are recorded in other assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in change in fair value of equity investments on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company regularly reviews its non-marketable equity securities for indicators of impairment.
Concentration of Credit Risk, Credit Losses, and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and investments are held by financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to fixed income securities denominated and payable in U.S. dollars such as U.S. government obligations, money market instruments and funds, corporate bonds, commercial paper, and asset-backed securities and places restrictions on maturities and concentrations by type and issuer. Such deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents and its accounts are monitored by management to mitigate risk. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents, corporate issuers, and other financial instruments, to the extent recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through receivables from customers and collaborators and through its available-for-sale debt securities. For trade receivables and other financial instruments, the Company uses a forward-looking expected loss model that recognizes a current period charge for losses that are expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument.
The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for the receivables is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic market conditions, a review of the current aging status and financial condition of the entities. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate allowance for customers that have a higher probability of default. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for the debt securities is developed by reviewing the extent of the unrealized loss, the size, term, geographical location, and industry of the issuer, the issuers’ credit ratings and any changes in those ratings, as well as reviewing current and future economic market conditions and the issuers’ current status and financial condition. There were no material credit losses recorded for receivables and available-for-sale debt securities which were attributable to credit risk for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses are recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. There wasno allowance for losses on available-for-sale debt securities which were attributable to credit risk for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company is dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities in its programs. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of manufacturers to supply it with its requirements for the active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated drugs related to these programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in the supply of active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulated drugs.
Inventory
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value and determines the cost of inventory using the average cost method. The Company expenses costs associated with the manufacture of product candidates prior to regulatory approval. Inventories consist of currently approved products. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess amounts or obsolescence and writes down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Management determines excess inventory based on expected future demand. Estimates related to future demand are sensitive to significant inputs and assumptions such as acceptance by patients and physicians and the availability of formulary coverage and adequate reimbursement from private third-party payers for the product.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation and amortization begins when the asset is placed in service. Interest costs incurred during the construction of major capital projects are capitalized until the underlying asset is ready to be placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in operations. See “Note 4. Balance Sheet Components” for further disclosure on the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment.
Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangibles consist of contractual payments made in conjunction with license agreements and collaboration agreements. The contractual payments are recorded as intangible assets and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances may indicate that the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable and exceeds their fair value. The Company measures fair value based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets in addition to other assumptions and projections that the Company deems to be reasonable and supportable.
Indefinite-lived intangibles consist of acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D. IPR&D assets represent capitalized incomplete research projects that the Company acquired through business combinations. Such assets are initially measured at their acquisition date fair values and are tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When development of the project is complete, which generally occurs when regulatory approval to market a product is obtained, the associated assets will be deemed finite-lived and will be amortized over a period that best reflects the economic benefits provided by these assets.
If it is determined that an intangible asset becomes impaired, the carrying value is written down to its fair value with the related impairment charge recognized in Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the impairment occurs. The Company has not recorded any impairments of intangible assets to date.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination and is not amortized. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually during the fourth quarter or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. If it is determined that the goodwill becomes impaired, the carrying value is written down to its fair value with the related impairment charge recognized in Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the impairment occurs. The Company has not recorded any impairments of goodwill.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. The Company has not recorded material impairment of any long-lived assets.
Accruals of Research and Development Costs
The Company records accruals for estimated costs of research, preclinical and clinical studies and manufacturing development. These costs are a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses. A substantial portion of the Company’s ongoing research and development activities are conducted by third-party service providers, including contract research organizations. The Company accrues the costs incurred under its agreements with these third parties based on actual work completed in accordance with agreements established with these third parties. The Company determines the actual costs through obtaining information from external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services.
The Company sold the right to receive certain royalty payments from net sales of Crysvita in certain territories to RPI Finance Trust, or RPI, an affiliate of Royalty Pharma, and to OCM LS23 Holdings LP, an investment vehicle for Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, or OMERS, as further described in “Note 10. Liabilities for Sales of Future Royalties.” At inception, the Company recorded a liability based upon estimated future cash flows discounted at a market rate. The liability is amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the applicable arrangement. To determine the amortization of the liability, the Company estimates the total amount of future royalty payments to be received by the Company and paid to RPI and OMERS. Any estimated royalty payments in excess of the initial liability are recorded as non-cash interest expense. Consequently, the Company estimates imputed interest on the unamortized portion of the liabilities and records interest expense based on the estimated term of the arrangements.
The Company periodically assesses the expected royalty payments using a combination of historical results, internal projections and forecasts from external sources. To the extent such payments are greater or less than the Company’s initial estimates or the timing of such payments is materially different than its original estimates, the Company employs the prospective method to adjust the amortization of the liabilities and the effective interest rate.
Revenue Recognition
Product Sales
The Company sells its approved products through a limited number of distributors. Under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to these distributors. The Company also recognizes revenue from sales of certain products on a “named patient” basis, which are allowed in certain countries prior to the commercial approval of the product. Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company makes estimates of the transaction price, including any variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Product sales are recorded net of estimated government-mandated rebates and chargebacks, estimated product returns, and other deductions.
Provisions for returns and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded, as estimated by management. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are reviewed periodically and adjusted as necessary. The Company’s estimates of government mandated rebates, chargebacks, estimated product returns, and other deductions depend on the identification of key customer contract terms and conditions, as well as estimates of sales volumes to different classes of payors. If actual results vary, the Company may need to adjust these estimates, which could have a material effect on earnings in the period of the adjustment.
Collaboration, License, and Royalty Revenue
The Company has certain license and collaboration agreements that are within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Agreements, which provides guidance on the presentation and disclosure of collaborative arrangements. Generally, the classification of the transactions under the collaborative arrangements is determined based on the nature of contractual terms of the arrangement, along with the nature of the operations of the participants. The Company records its share of collaboration revenue, net of transfer pricing related to net sales in the period in which such sales occur, if the Company is considered as an agent in the arrangement. The Company is considered an agent when the collaboration partner controls the product before transfer to the customers and has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the product. Funding received related to research and development services and commercialization costs is generally classified as a reduction of research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, because the provision of such services for collaborative partners are not considered to be part of the Company’s ongoing major or central operations.
The Company utilizes certain information from its collaboration partners to record collaboration revenue, including revenue from the sale of the product, associated reserves on revenue, and costs incurred for development and sales activities. For the periods covered in the financial statements presented, there have been no material changes to prior period estimates of revenues and expenses. The Company also records royalty revenues under certain of the Company’s license or collaboration agreements in exchange for the license of intellectual property.
As described in “Note 10. Liabilities for Sales of Future Royalties”, for certain royalty payments from net sales of Crysvita in applicable territories that were sold to RPI and OMERS, the Company records the non-cash royalty revenue on a prospective basis as royalty revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the applicable arrangement.
The terms of the Company’s collaboration and license agreements may contain multiple performance obligations, which may include licenses and research and development activities. The Company evaluates these agreements under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to determine the distinct performance obligations. The Company analogizes to ASC 606 for the accounting for distinct performance obligations for which there is a customer relationship. Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company makes estimates of the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Amounts of variable consideration are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Total consideration may include nonrefundable upfront license fees, payments for research and development activities, reimbursement of certain third-party costs, payments based upon the achievement of specified milestones, and royalty payments based on product sales derived from the collaboration.
If there are multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using expected cost-plus margin. The Company estimates the efforts needed to complete the performance obligations and recognizes revenue by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligations using input measures.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees and members of the board of directors are able to defer certain equity awards and other compensation. Amounts deferred are invested into shares of the Company's common stock and corporate-owned life insurance. The plan complies with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. All the investments held in the plan are recorded in other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term portion of the corresponding liability for the plan is included in accrued expenses. The long-term portion of the liability is included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the value of the deferred compensation assets and liabilities are recorded in earnings as they occur. Certain equity awards deferred under the plan are required to be settled through the issuance of Company stock. These awards are recorded as treasury stock and deferred compensation obligation within stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Leases
Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement includes a lease at inception. Right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The right-of-use lease asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future payments. The Company applies a portfolio approach to the property leases to apply an incremental borrowing rate to leases with similar lease terms. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company recognizes the options to extend the lease as part of the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities only if it is reasonably certain that the option would be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components. See “Note 9. Leases” for further disclosure.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is the change in stockholders’ equity (deficit) from transactions and other events and circumstances other than those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders. The Company’s other comprehensive loss is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on investments in available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, lab supplies and facility costs, as well as fees paid to other nonemployees and entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Amounts incurred in connection with license agreements are also included in research and development expense. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are deferred. The deferred amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards issued to employees, including stock options, performance stock options, or PSOs, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and performance stock units, or PSUs are recorded at fair value as of the grant date and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period). PSOs and PSUs vest only if certain specified criteria are achieved and the employees’ continued service requirements are met; therefore, the expense recognition occurs when the likelihood of the PSOs and PSUs being earned is deemed probable. Stock compensation expense on awards expected to vest is recognized net of estimated forfeitures.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Dimension Therapeutics, Inc., or Dimension, a deferred tax liability was recorded reflecting the tax impact of the difference between the book basis and tax basis of acquired IPR&D. Such deferred income tax liability is not used to offset deferred tax assets when analyzing the Company’s valuation allowance as the acquired IPR&D is considered to have an indefinite life until the Company completes or abandons development of the acquired IPR&D.
The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit. To date, there have beenno interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits.
Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Transactions which are not in the functional currency of the entity are remeasured into the functional currency and gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement recorded in other expense.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Shares of common stock into which pre-funded warrants may be exercised are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing basic net loss per share because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested and are exercisable after the original issuance date. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive. In periods when we have incurred a net loss, options and warrants to purchase common stock are considered common stock equivalents, but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect is antidilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures requiring public entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information about income taxes paid. Disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of liabilities for the sales of future royalties also approximate their fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 assets. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Money market funds and U.S. Government treasury bills are classified as Level 1. Level 2 assets consist primarily of corporate bonds, asset backed securities, commercial paper, U.S. Government Treasury and agency securities, and debt securities in government-sponsored entities based upon quoted market prices for similar movements in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets. Where applicable these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs obtained from various third-party data providers, including but not limited to, benchmark yields, interest rate curves, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and reference data.
The Company determines the fair value of its equity investment in Solid Biosciences, Inc., or Solid, by using the quoted market prices, which are Level 1 fair value measurements.
The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities remeasured on a recurring basis based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in millions):

Intangible Assets, net
Indefinite-lived Intangibles
As a result of the accounting for our acquisition of Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. in November 2017, the Company has IPR&D assets of $129 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. IPR&D assets represent the fair value of acquired programs to develop an AAV gene therapy for OTC deficiency and to develop an AAV gene therapy for glycogen storage disease type Ia. IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinite-life until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts.
Finite-lived Intangibles
Subsequent to the FDA approval of Dojolvi for the treatment of LC-FAOD in 2020, the Company recorded$5 million for the attainment of various development and commercial milestones as finite-lived intangible assets which are amortized over a weighted-average total useful lifeof 6 years.
In January 2022, the Company entered into a collaboration with Regeneron to commercialize Evkeeza for HoFH outside of the U.S. Pursuant to the collaboration agreement, the Company has incurred an upfront payment and regulatory and sales milestones to date totaling $63 million. As these payments are for the Company’s use of intellectual property for Evkeeza for HoFH, they were recorded as intangible assets, which are amortized over a weighted-average total useful life of 9 years.
The Company's intangible assets were as follows (in millions, except for years):

Investment in Amlogenyx Inc.
In July 2024, the Company contributed certain intellectual property rights to Amlogenyx Inc., or Amlogenyx, a subsidiary of the Company, and received 9.0 million shares of common stock of Amlogenyx. A third-party investor along with one of its affiliated entities, and the Company, each contributed $7 million to Amlogenyx and in exchange, each received approximately 1.6 million shares of series seed preferred stock of Amlogenyx. The purpose of Amlogenyx is to pursue the application of the Company’s novel adeno-associated virus, or AAV, gene therapy to treat beta-amyloid disorders and related neurodegenerative diseases.
Amlogenyx was determined to be a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct the activities that would most significantly impact the economic performance of Amlogenyx, including the performance of R&D activities relating to its sole product candidate. As the primary beneficiary, the Company has consolidated the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Amlogenyx in its financial statements and all intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Upon initial consolidation, the non-controlling interest of the third-party investor was recorded at its estimated fair value of $7.0 million, which is equal to their original investment.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, total assets included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for Amlogenyx were $5 million and $14 million, respectively. The assets primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents which may only be used to settle obligations of Amlogenyx.
Noncontrolling interest related to the third-party investment in Amlogenyx is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in mezzanine equity.

License and Research Agreements
Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd.
In August 2013, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., or KKC. Under the terms of this collaboration and license agreement, as amended, the Company and KKC collaborate on the development and commercialization of Crysvita in the field of orphan diseases in the U.S. and Canada, or the Profit-Share Territory, and in the European Union, UK, and Switzerland, or the European Territory, and the Company has the right to develop and commercialize such products in the field of orphan diseases in Mexico and Central and South America, or Latin America.
The collaboration and license agreements are within the scope of ASC 808, which provides guidance on the presentation and disclosure of collaborative arrangements.
Product Sales Revenue for Latin America and Türkiye
The Company is responsible for commercializing Crysvita in Latin America and Türkiye. The Company is considered the principal in these territories as the Company controls the product before it is transferred to the customer. Accordingly, the Company records revenue on a gross basis for the sale of Crysvita once the product is delivered and the risk and title of the product is transferred to the distributor. In Türkiye, KKC has the option to assume responsibility for commercialization efforts.
Transfer Price and Royalties on Product Sales Revenue
Under the collaboration agreement, KKC manufactures and supplies Crysvita, which is purchased by the Company for sales in Latin America and Türkiye. KKC charges the Company a transfer price of 30% of net sales for supply of product to Latin America. The Company also pays to KKC a low single-digit royalty on net sales in Latin America.
Collaboration and Royalty Revenue for Sales in the Profit-Share Territory
The Company and KKC shared commercial responsibilities and profits in the Profit-Share Territory until April 2023. Under the collaboration agreement, KKC manufactured and supplied Crysvita for commercial use in the Profit-Share Territory and charged the Company a transfer price of 30% of net sales in 2023. The remaining profit or loss after supply costs from commercializing products in the Profit-Share Territory was shared between the Company and KKC on a 50/50 basis until April 2023. In April 2023, commercialization responsibilities for Crysvita in the Profit-Share Territory transitioned to KKC. Thereafter, the Company is entitled to receive a tiered double-digit revenue share from the mid-20% range up to a maximum rate of 30%.
During the prior profit-share period, as KKC was the principal in the sale transaction with the customer, the Company recognized a pro-rata share of collaboration revenue, net of transfer pricing, in the period the sale occurred. The Company concluded that its portion of KKC’s sales in the Profit-Share Territory prior to April 2023 was analogous to a royalty and therefore recorded its share as collaboration revenue, similar to a royalty. Starting in April 2023, the Company began to record as royalty revenue in the period the underlying sales occurred.
In July 2022, the Company sold to OMERS its right to receive 30% of the future royalty payments, beginning in April 2023, that are due to the Company based on net sales of Crysvita in the U.S. and Canada, subject to a cap. In November 2025, the Company sold to OMERS its right to an additional 25% of the future royalty payments, beginning in January 2028, that are due to the Company based on net sales of Crysvita in the U.S. and Canada, subject to a cap. These agreements are further described in “Note 10. Liabilities for Sales of Future Royalties.”
Royalty Revenue for Sales in the European Territory
KKC has commercial responsibility for Crysvita in the European Territory. Under the collaboration agreement, the Company is entitled to receive royalties of up to 10% of net sales in the European Territory, which are recorded as royalty revenue as the underlying sales occur. In December 2019, the Company sold its right to receive these royalty payments to Royalty Pharma, effective January 1, 2020, as further described in “Note 10. Liabilities for Sales of Future Royalties.”

| Total Crysvita revenue | $481 | $410 | $328 |
Collaboration Cost Sharing and Payments
Under the collaboration agreement, KKC and the Company share certain development and commercialization costs, and as a result, the Company was reimbursed for these costs and operating expenses were reduced. KKC also receives a transfer price and royalty on net product sales revenue which is recorded in cost of sales. These amounts were recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in connection with the collaboration agreement with KKC as follows (in millions):

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recognized an aggregate of $33 million for regulatory and sales milestones under the agreement. As these payments are for the Company’s use of intellectual property for Evkeeza for HoFH, they were recorded as intangible assets. See "Note 5. Intangible Assets, net" for additional details. The Company is required to pay up to an aggregate of $31 million in the future contingent upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones. The Company may share in certain costs for global trials led by Regeneron. Additionally, the Company pays Regeneron a product purchase price and royalties on certain revenues.
The collaboration agreement is within the scope of ASC 808 which provides guidance on the presentation and disclosure of collaborative arrangements.

Under the license agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to SLU a low single-digit royalty on net sales of the licensed products in Europe and Japan, subject to certain potential deductions. The Company's obligation to pay royalties to SLU in these territories continues until the expiration of any orphan drug exclusivity.
Abeona
In May 2022, the Company announced an exclusive License Agreement for the AAV gene therapy for UX111 with Abeona for the treatment of MPS IIIA. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company assumed responsibility for the UX111 program and in return, the Company is obligated to pay tiered royalties of up to 10% on net sales and commercial milestone payments of up to $30.0 million contingent upon regulatory approval of the product. Additionally, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Abeona to transfer and assign to the Company the exclusive license agreement between Nationwide Children’s Hospital, or NCH, and Abeona for certain rights related to UX111. Under this agreement, the Company is obligated to pay up to $1 million contingent upon achievement of development and regulatory milestones as well as royalties in the low single-digits of net sales.
Mereo
In December 2020, the Company entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement with Mereo to collaborate on the development of setrusumab. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, the Company will lead future global development of setrusumab in both pediatric and adult patients with OI. The Company was granted an exclusive license to develop and commercialize setrusumab in the U.S., Türkiye, and the rest of the world, or the Ultragenyx Territory, excluding the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, or the Mereo Territory, where Mereo retains commercial rights. Each party will be responsible for post-marketing commitments in their respective territories and Ultragenyx will be responsible for commercial supply in both the Ultragenyx Territory and Mereo Territory.
Upon the closing of the transactions under the License and Collaboration Agreement with Mereo in January 2021, the Company made a payment of $50 million to Mereo. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has made payments totaling $9 million for regulatory milestones achieved. The Company is obligated to pay Mereo up to $245 million in future milestone payments, contingent upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. The Company pays for all global development costs and will pay a tiered double-digit percentage royalties to Mereo on net sales in the Ultragenyx Territory. Mereo will pay the Company a fixed double-digit percentage royalty on net sales in the Mereo Territory. If the Company receives and resells an FDA priority review voucher, or PRV, in connection with a new drug application approval, Mereo is entitled to receive a portion of proceeds from the sale of the PRV or a cash payment from the Company, in the event the Company chooses to retain the PRV.
In December 2024, the Company entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with Mereo where it is responsible for the supply of setrusumab to Mereo in the Mereo Territory. Mereo is responsible for reimbursing us for a portion of the manufacturing process development costs as well as future commercial supply costs.
Although Mereo is a VIE, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that would most significantly impact the economic performance of Mereo. Prior to the achievement of certain development milestones, all consideration paid to Mereo represents rights to potential future benefits associated with Mereo’s in-process research and development activities, which have not reached technological feasibility and have no alternative future use.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded offsets to research and development expense of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded development costs of $9 million for the achievement of a clinical milestone recorded in research and development expense.

Certain lease agreements include options for the Company to extend the lease formultiple renewal periods and provide for annual minimum increases in rent, usually based on a consumer price index or annual minimum increases. None of these optional periods have been considered in the determination of the right-of-use lease asset or the lease liability for the leases as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain that it would exercise any such options. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of its operating leases. The variable lease expense primarily consists of common area maintenance and other operating costs.
The components of lease expense were as follows (in millions):

Under the agreement, OMERS granted the Company an option to repurchase the entire purchased interest, that expires in November 2027, for 1.35 times the purchase price, or $540 million.
Proceeds from these transactions were recorded as liabilities for sales of future royalties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon inception of the respective arrangements, the Company recorded liabilities of $320 million, $500 million, and $400 million, net of transaction costs of $6 million, $9 million, and $8 million, for the RPI Agreement, the 2022 OMERS Agreement, and the 2025 OMERS Agreement, respectively. The Company records the royalty revenue arising from the net sales of Crysvita in the applicable territories as royalty revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the term of the arrangements. Royalties earned under the RPI Agreement, the 2022 OMERS Agreement, and the 2025 OMERS Agreement from inception to December 31, 2025 have been $128 million, $206 million, andnil, respectively. The Company’s effective annual interest rates were 5.5%,7.3%, and 9.2% for the RPI Agreement, the 2022 OMERS Agreement, and the 2025 OMERS Agreement, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.
There are a number of factors that could materially affect the amount and timing of royalty payments from KKC in the applicable territories, most of which are not within the Company’s control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the success of KKC’s sales and promotion of Crysvita, changing standards of care, macroeconomic and inflationary pressures, the introduction of competing products, pricing for reimbursement in various territories, manufacturing or other delays, intellectual property matters, adverse events that result in governmental health authority imposed restrictions on the use of Crysvita, significant changes in foreign exchange rates as the royalty payments are made in U.S. dollars, or USD, while significant portions of the underlying sales of Crysvita are made in currencies other than USD, and other events or circumstances that could result in reduced royalty payments from sales of Crysvita, all of which would result in a reduction of royalty revenue and the non-cash interest expense over the life of the arrangement. Conversely, if sales of Crysvita in the relevant territories are more than expected, the royalty revenue and the non-cash interest expense recorded by the Company would be greater over the term of the arrangements.
The following table shows the activity within the liability account (in millions):
| Liabilities for Sales of Future Royalties | ||||

Equity
At-the-Market Offerings
In February 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, or Cowen, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering proceeds of up to $350 million, from time to time, in at-the-market, or ATM, offerings through Cowen. The Company sold 2.2 million shares under the ATM for net proceeds of $80 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.
In May 2021, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering proceeds of up to $350 million, from time to time, in ATM offerings through Jefferies. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were 1.2 million shares sold under the ATM resulting in net proceeds of $53 million.
Underwritten Public Offering
In June 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering in which 8.8 million shares of common stock were sold, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 1.3 million shares, at a public offering price of $39.00 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company sold to certain investors pre-funded warrants, in lieu of common stock, to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $38.999 per pre-funded warrant, which equals the public offering price per share of common stock less the $0.001 exercise price per share of each pre-funded warrant. The total proceeds that the Company received from the offering were $381 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions.
In October 2023, the Company completed an underwritten public offering in which 9.8 million shares of common stock were sold, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares, at a public offering price of $30.00 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company sold to certain investors pre-funded warrants, in lieu of common stock, to purchase 1.7 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $29.999 per pre-funded warrant, which equals the public offering price per share of common stock less the $0.001 exercise price per share of each pre-funded warrant. The total proceeds that the Company received from the offering were $327 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions.
The pre-funded warrants were classified as a component of permanent equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are freestanding financial instruments that are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its own shares and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. All of the shares underlying the pre-funded warrants have been included in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate net loss per share, basic and diluted, attributable to common stockholders because the shares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested, and are exercisable after the original issuance date of the pre-funded warrants. As of December 31, 2025, no pre-funded warrants had been exercised.

Stock-Based Awards
Equity Plan Awards
Under the terms of the Company's 2023 Incentive Plan, or 2023 Plan, and Employment Inducement Plan, or Inducement Plan, awards may be granted at an exercise price not less than fair market value. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair market value. The term of an award granted under the 2023 Plan and Inducement Plan may not exceedten years. Typically, the vesting schedule for option grants to employees provides that 1/4 of the grant vests upon the first anniversary of the date of grant, with the remainder of the shares vesting monthly thereafter at a rate of 1/48 of the total shares subject to the option. Typically, the vesting schedule for RSU grants provides that 1/4 of the grant vests upon the annual anniversary of the date of grant over the period offour years.
Under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, eligible employees may purchase common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of common stock on the offering date or the purchase date with a six-month look-back feature. ESPP purchases are settled with common stock from the ESPP’s previously authorized and available pool of shares. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 0.2 million shares of common stock under the ESPP.
The table below summarizes the Company's equity plans as of December 31, 2025:

The following table summarizes the Company's options exercised and vested for each of the periods indicated (in millions except for weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Intrinsic value of options exercised | $— | $1 | $5 |
| Cash received from the exercise of options | $— | $6 | $3 |
| Weighted-average estimated fair value of options granted | $22.92 | $29.88 | $25.53 |
| Estimated fair value of options vested | $46 | $54 | $60 |
The aggregate intrinsic values of options outstanding, vested and exercisable, and vested and expected to vest were calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock.
Performance Stock Options
The following table summarizes activity under the Company’s Performance Stock Option, or PSO, plans and related information:
| PSOs Outstanding | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Options(millions) | Weighted-Average Exercise Price | Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |
| Outstanding — December 31, 2024 | 1.2 | $67.37 | 2 | $— |

| Vested and expected to vest — December 31, 2025 | 0.8 | 67.37 | 1 | — |
During the year ended December 31, 2022, PSOs were granted to certain nonexecutive employees. PSOs are subject to vest only if specified operational milestones are achieved and the employees’ continued service with the Company. The Company uses the Black-Scholes method to calculate the fair value at the grant date and is recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the PSOs that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation for PSOs is recognized over the service period, beginning in the period the Company determines it is probable that a milestone will be achieved. Forfeitures of PSOs are recognized as they occur. The Company reassesses the probability of the performance condition at each reporting period and adjusts the compensation cost based on the probability assessment. As of December 31, 2025, certain operational milestones had been achieved. The aggregate intrinsic values of PSOs outstanding, vested and exercisable, and vested and expected to vest were calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the PSOs and the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The total estimated grant date fair value of PSOs vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $14 million, $10 million, and $3 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
The following table summarizes activity under the Company’s Restricted Stock Units, or RSU, plans and related information:
| RSUs Outstanding | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares(millions) | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
| Unvested — December 31, 2024 | 5.2 | $53.22 |
| RSUs granted | 2.9 | 41.04 |
| RSUs vested | (1.5) | 56.39 |
| RSUs cancelled | (0.7) | 49.78 |
| Unvested — December 31, 2025 | 5.9 | 46.23 |
The fair value of the RSUs is determined on the grant date based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the RSUs is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period ofone tofour years. The total grant date fair value of the RSUs vested during the years ended December 31,2025, 2024, and 2023 was $85 million, $63 million, and $55 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the shares of the RSUs vested during the years ended December 31,2025, 2024, and 2023 was $62 million, $54 million, and $33 million, respectively.
Performance Stock Units
The following table summarizes activity under the Company’s Performance Stock Units, or PSUs and related information:
| PSUs Outstanding | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares(millions) | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
| Unvested — December 31, 2024 | 0.6 | $59.39 |
| PSUs granted | 0.4 | 50.77 |
| PSUs vested | (0.2) | 53.44 |
| PSUs cancelled | (0.1) | 49.95 |
| Unvested — December 31, 2025 | 0.7 | 57.48 |
The fair value of the PSUs is determined on the grant date based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock, except for certain PSUs with a market vesting condition, for which fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. PSUs are subject to vest only if certain specified criteria are achieved and the employees’ continued service with the Company. For certain PSUs, the number of PSUs that may vest are also subject to the achievement of certain specified criteria, including both performance conditions and market conditions. As of December 31, 2025, certain specified criteria were deemed probable of achievement or already achieved. Stock-based compensation for PSUs is recognized over the service period beginning in the period the Company determines it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved. The total grant date fair value of the PSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $12 million, $3 million, and $4 million, respectively, with an aggregate intrinsic value of the shares of $9 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized was as follows (in millions):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Cost of sales | $2 | $1 | $1 |
| Research and development | 84 | 87 | 75 |
| Selling, general and administrative | 67 | 70 | 59 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $153 | $158 | $135 |
Stock-based compensation of $2 million, $3 million, and $2 million was capitalized into inventory for the years ended December 31,2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Capitalized stock-based compensation is recognized as cost of sales when the related product is sold.
As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested equity awards, net of estimated forfeitures, was $232 million, which the Company expects to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of 2 years. In determining the estimated fair value of the stock options, PSOs and ESPP, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.
Expected Term—The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term).
Expected Volatility—The Company’s expected volatility is based on historical volatility over the look-back period corresponding to the expected term.
Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of option.
Expected Dividend—The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.
Strike price for options awards and PSOs is equal to the closing market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
The fair value of stock option awards granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Expected term (years) | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| Expected volatility | 53% | 55% | 55% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.1% | 4.2% | 4.2% |
| Expected dividend rate | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors a retirement plan in which substantially all of its full-time employees in the U.S. and certain other foreign countries are eligible to participate. Eligible participants may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to this plan, subject to statutory limitations. The Company recorded $10 million, $10 million, and $10 million as expense related to the plan for the years ended December 31,2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company has not reflected any benefit of such net operating loss carryforwards in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $5 million attributable to modifications in its state apportionment methodology, offset by an income tax expense of $3 million from foreign jurisdictions. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1 million from foreign jurisdictions alongside a nominal amount of state tax. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $4 million from foreign jurisdictions and a nominal amount of state tax. The Company realized no benefit for current year losses due to a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $2,104 million and $1,191 million, respectively, of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income that will begin to expire in 2031. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $936 million and $744 million, respectively, of state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income that will begin to expire in 2031.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had federal research tax credit carryforwards of approximately $60 million and $45 million, respectively, available to reduce future tax liabilities that will begin to expire in 2031. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had state research credit carryforwards of $110 million and $92 million, respectively, available to reduce future tax liabilities. The majority of these credits will be carried forward indefinitely, and others will expire at various dates in the future.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had federal Orphan Drug Credits of approximately $379 million and $339 million, respectively, available to reduce future tax liabilities that will begin to expire in 2031.
The Company’s ability to use net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be subject to annual limitations pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 as a result of ownership changes in the past and future. As a result of ownership changes in 2012 and 2011, $4 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards, $4 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, and a nominal amount of federal tax credits are permanently limited. Deferred tax assets for net operating losses and tax credits have been reduced and a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance has been recorded.
The valuation allowance increased by $148 million and $171 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company recorded unrecognized tax benefits for uncertainties in income taxes. A reconciliation of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits follows (in millions):
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Balance at beginning of year | $97 | $80 | $67 |
| Additions based on tax positions related to current year | 15 | 15 | 12 |
| Additions for tax positions of prior years | — | 2 | 1 |
| Reductions for tax positions of prior years | (1) | — | — |
| Balance at end of year | $111 | $97 | $80 |
Approximately $1 million in unrecognized tax benefits would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company has elected to include interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized nominal amounts for accrued interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of existing unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease during the next year.
It is the Company’s intention to reinvest the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in their operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not made a provision for any incremental foreign withholding taxes on approximately $17 million of the excess of the amount of net income for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. If these earnings were repatriated to the U.S., the deferred tax liability associated with these temporary differences would result in a nominal amount of withholding taxes.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, 40 state tax jurisdictions, and ten foreign countries. The federal and state income tax returns from inception to December 31, 2025 remain subject to examination.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has various manufacturing, clinical, research, and other contracts with vendors in the conduct of the normal course of its business. Other than as noted below, contracts are terminable, with varying provisions regarding termination. If a contract with a specific vendor were to be terminated, the Company would only be obligated for the products or services that the Company had received at the time the termination became effective.
Manufacturing and service contract obligations primarily relate to manufacturing of product for our clinical stage pipeline, the majority of which are due in the next 12 months.
The terms of certain of the Company’s licenses, royalties, development and collaboration agreements, as well as other research and development activities, require the Company to pay potential future milestone payments based on product development success. The amount and timing of such obligations are unknown or uncertain. These potential obligations are further described in “Note 8. License and Research Agreements.”
See “Note 9. Leases” for lease commitments.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become party to various claims and complaints. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” for material legal proceedings the Company is aware of. The process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain, however management does not believe that any ultimate liability resulting from any of these potential claims will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
The Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director or officer is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as a director or officer may be subject to any proceeding arising out of acts or omissions of such director and officer in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company currently holds director liability insurance. This insurance allows the transfer of risk associated with the Company’s exposure and may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

As a result of this reduction in force, the Company estimates that it will incur restructuring charges of approximately $50 millionin total in connection with employee related termination and severance costs, charges for the termination of UX143 manufacturing agreements, and other related activities, substantiallyall of which are expected to be recognized during the first half of 2026. Cash payments related to these costs are expected to be made over the same period.
