Current report
Despite reduction in LDL-C levels, residual risk remains up to 30% at 10 years, representing a needed target for pharmacologic interventions. Among medications with proven Randomized Controlled Trials, or RCT, data improving outcomes from residual risk, IPE has the most supporting data. In the landmark REDUCE-IT, IPE 4 g/day added to statin therapy reduced the composite of cardiovascular death, Myocardial Infarction, or MI, stroke, coronary revascularization, or unstable angina by 25% among patients with established atherosclerotic disease or diabetes and ≥1 additional cardiovascular risk factor and triglyceride levels between 135 and 499 mg/dL (HR, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.68–0.83]; P<0.001). In addition, imaging studies, such as EVAPORATE, or Effect of Vascepa on Improving Coronary Atherosclerosis in People With High Triglycerides Taking Statin Therapy, have shown that treatment with icosapent ethyl can lead to plaque regression.
Current report
In November 2025, the French Society of Endocrinology, the Francophone Society of Diabetes, the New Francophone Society of Atherosclerosis, and the French Society of Cardiology released a consensus statement on the management of dyslipidemias in adults.

Current report
At the inception of each arrangement that includes royalty-based payments, the Company evaluates whether the royalties relate to the license of intellectual property, in which case they are accounted for under the royalty constraint within ASC 606 and recognized when the later of the subsequent sale or usage occurs or when the performance obligations have been satisfied. If the royalties do not relate to the licensing of intellectual property, the royalties are accounted for under the variable consideration constraint within ASC 606 and are recognized in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty around the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Royalty payments that fall within the variable consideration constraint take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. The royalties that are considered variable consideration are recognized when the uncertainty related to the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company reevaluates the circumstances and recognizes royalties that are no longer constrained.

Results of Operations
Current report
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded RoW product revenue, net, of $10.2 million from our six collaboration partners, comprising multiple distinct geographies, compared to $24.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The decline reflects normal variability across the multiple geographies encompassing this early stage of a developing ex-U.S. market.
Current report
Licensing and royalty revenue. Licensing and royalty revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $30.9 million and $24.0 million, respectively, an increase of $6.9 million, or 29%. This increase was primarily due to the recognition of a $25.0 million upfront payment resulting from the execution of the Recordati Licensing Agreement and higher royalties as a result of an increase in partner sales within their respective territories. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a $15.0 million milestone and $4.0 million change in estimate resulting from the regulatory approval of VASCEPA under the REDUCE-IT indication in China in June 2024.

Launch of VAZKEPA in individual countries depends on the timing of achieving product reimbursement on a country-by-country basis. To date we have filed 19 dossiers to gain market access in European countries, including in all of the largest countries in Europe. In most European countries, securing product reimbursement is a requisite to launching. In certain countries, such as Denmark, individual patient reimbursement is allowed prior to national reimbursement. In countries where individual price reimbursement is allowed prior to national reimbursement, product can be made available on a patient-by-patient basis, while the national reimbursements negotiations are ongoing. In all countries, securing adequate reimbursement is a requisite for commercial success of any therapeutic. The time required to secure reimbursement varies from country to country and cannot be reliably predicted. While we believe that we have strong arguments regarding the cost effectiveness of VAZKEPA, the success of such reimbursement negotiations have a significant impact on the assessment of the commercial opportunity of VAZKEPA in Europe. Through the date of this Annual Report, we received marketing authorization by the MHRA and the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and subsequently we have made VAZKEPA available under individual reimbursement or received national reimbursement and launched commercial operations in the following countries, respectively.
Current wording
Launch of VAZKEPA in individual countries depends on the timing of achieving product reimbursement on a country-by-country basis. To date, we have filed 20 dossiers to gain market access in European countries, including in all of the largest countries in Europe. In most European countries, securing product reimbursement is a requisite to launching. In certain countries, such as Denmark, individual patient reimbursement is allowed prior to national reimbursement. In countries where individual price reimbursement is allowed prior to national reimbursement, product can be made available on a patient-by-patient basis, while the national reimbursements negotiations are ongoing. In all countries, securing adequate reimbursement is a requisite for commercial success of any therapeutic. The time required to secure reimbursement varies from country to country and cannot be reliably predicted.

We manage the manufacturing and supply of VASCEPA and rely on contract manufacturers in each step of our commercial and clinical product supply chain. These steps include active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, manufacturing, encapsulation of the API, product packaging and supply-related logistics. Our approach to product supply procurement is designed to mitigate risk of supply interruption and maintain an environment of cost competition through diversification of contract manufacturers at each stage of the supply chain and lack of reliance on any single supplier. We have multiple U.S. FDA-approved international API suppliers, encapsulators and packagers to support the VASCEPA commercial franchise. We also have multiple international API suppliers, encapsulators and packagers to support the commercialization of VASCEPA in geographies where the drug is approved outside the U.S.. Not all of our suppliers approved by the U.S. FDA are approved in every other geography. The regulatory process generally requires extensive details as part of the submission provided to a country or region in connection with a company's request for regulatory approval. Suppliers must be specifically identified as part of the submission for qualification and approval for commercialization in a country or region. As a result, only supply, as approved, may be used in finished goods available for sale in a specific country or region. The amount of supply we seek to purchase in future periods will depend on the level of growth of VASCEPA revenues and minimum purchase commitments with certain suppliers. Beginning in 2022, we reviewed our contractual supplier purchase obligations and began taking steps to amend supplier agreements to align supply arrangements with current and future market demand, while we decrease our current inventory levels primarily related to North America approved inventory. As of December 31, 2024, we had inventory of $230.8 million, of which approximately 60% is inventory approved for use in North America. We continue to negotiate with our contract suppliers to align our supply arrangements with current and future global market demand.

Outside of the U.S., currently the majority of our product revenue is derived from the sales of VASCEPA to our commercial partners based on the net price for VASCEPA established in our contracts with such partners. These commercial partners then resell the product in their agreed commercial territory. Revenues from sales to our international commercial partners are recognized when the commercial partners obtain control of our product. The net price of VASCEPA sold by us to our customers where we directly sell VASCEPA is generally significantly higher than the net price of VASCEPA that we sell to commercial partners who then incur the cost of promoting and reselling the product in their territories. As a result, even when the net price of VASCEPA to patients is similar in various parts of the world, our gross margin on sales is higher where we sell VASCEPA directly. We also derive product revenue from sales of our product to a limited number of wholesalers in Europe, most of whom in turn resell the product to pharmacies for purposes of their reselling the product to fill patient prescriptions.

Revenue Recognition—In accordance with GAAP, under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers revenue is recognized when product has been delivered to the wholesaler, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Topic 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a distributor; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. We apply the five-step model to contracts only when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the distributor. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. We recognized total revenue, net of $228.6 million and $306.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which $204.6 million and $285.3 million, respectively, was based on product revenue sales.

We have written contracts with our distributors, and transfer of control typically occurs upon delivery of our product to the distributor. We evaluate the creditworthiness of each of our distributors to determine whether revenues can be recognized upon delivery, subject to satisfaction of the other requirements, or whether recognition is required to be delayed until receipt of payment. We calculate gross product revenues based on the wholesale acquisition cost charged to our distributors for VASCEPA. We estimate our Product revenue, net by deducting from our gross product revenues (a) trade allowances, such as invoice discounts for prompt payment and distributor fees, (b) estimated government and private payor rebates, chargebacks and healthcare discounts, such as Medicaid reimbursements, (c) expected product returns and (d) estimated costs of incentives offered to certain indirect customers, including patients. The gross to net deductions are estimated based on available actual prescription data, historical industry trends, and levels of inventory in the distribution channel. We rely on resale data provided by our distributors as well as prescription data provided by Symphony Health and IQVIA in estimating the level of inventory held in the distribution channel. A hypothetical 5% change in estimated aggregate bottles of channel inventory would result in a change of less than 1% in net product revenues reported during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
