  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data, which is presented for comparative purposes, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (commonly referred to as “GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary to state fairly the results of operations for the reported periods.

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Business Combinations

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations(“Topic 805”), acquisitions that meet the definition of a business are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date at fair value. The excess, if any, of the fair value of total consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest is recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs incurred as a result of a business combination other than costs related to the issuance of debt or equity securities are recorded in the period the costs are incurred.

Contingent consideration in a business combination may consist of development, regulatory and/or commercial milestone payments and is included as part of the acquisition cost and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Fair value is generally estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach resulting from contingent consideration and is re-measured at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized within “Operating (loss) income” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration can result from changes to one or multiple assumptions, including adjustments to discount rates, changes in the assumed achievement and timing of specified milestones and changes in the assumed probability associated with such milestones.

The period over which the Company discounts its contingent consideration is based on the current development stage of the product candidate associated with the milestone, the specific development plan for that product candidate adjusted for the probability of completing the development step, and the date on which contingent payments may be triggered. In estimating the probability of success, the Company utilizes data regarding similar milestone events from several sources, including industry studies and its own experience. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions at the acquisition date and for each subsequent reporting period. Accordingly, changes in assumptions described above could have a material impact on the increase or decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in any given period.

Reclassification

The Company reclassified certain prior year amounts on the consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the Company elects this option and believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. Alternatively, the Company may elect to not first assess qualitative factors and immediately perform the quantitative impairment test. In the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired in business combinations, including developed technology, product rights, licenses, and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized based on the proportion of expected excess earnings over their estimated economic useful life. This method reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized.

Acquired IPR&D projects that have not yet received regulatory approval are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and are required to be capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion of the IPR&D project or abandonment. IPR&D projects are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators arise. Upon completion of the development project, an impairment assessment is performed prior to amortizing the asset over its estimated useful life. IPR&D assets related to abandoned IPR&D projects are fully impaired.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has utilized the management approach to determine that the Company is managed asone segment on a consolidated basis and is in the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing medicines designed to help people living with complex and difficult-to-treat psychiatric and neurological disorders. The Company’s CODM, the President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating unit. The Company’s CODM measures profitability on a reportable segment basis using net (loss) income and utilizes this information in allocating resources and in assessing performance by monitoring budget versus actual results. Please refer to Note 17, Segment Reporting, in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for further information.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU updates the requirements for capitalization of internal-use software, removing all reference to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”). This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting. The amendments in this update clarify current interim disclosure requirements and provide a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures. The update also incorporates a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events that occur after the end of the reporting period. This update is effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. BUSINESS COMBINATION

Acquisition of Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc

On February 12, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (now operating as Avadel Pharmaceuticals Limited) (“Avadel”), pursuant to the definitive transaction agreement entered into in October 2025 and subsequently amended in November 2025 (the “Transaction Agreement”), adding both LUMRYZ to the Company’s portfolio of proprietary commercial products and a commercial organization with experience in narcolepsy. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Company acquired the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Avadel (the “Avadel Acquisition”) for consideration of (i) $21.00 per ordinary share, nominal value $0.01 per share, of Avadel (each, an “Avadel Share”), payable in cash at closing and (ii) a non-transferable contingent value right (the “CVR”) entitling holders of Avadel Shares to a potential additional cash payment of $1.50 per Avadel Share, contingent upon achievement of a certain specified milestone (the “CVR Milestone”).

The Avadel Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Topic 805. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.

The Company’s purchase price allocation is preliminary and based on the information available as of the reporting date. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement as the Company continues to review information related to the Avadel Acquisition. The Company remains in the process of reviewing and finalizing the measurement of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including but not limited to: tax positions, and other tax-related matters, and the estimated fair values of acquired intangible assets and inventory. Adjustments to the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the Closing Date.

The total preliminary purchase consideration related to the Avadel Acquisition was as follows:

(In thousands)Amount
Cash consideration paid for Avadel’s ordinary shares$2,064,310
Cash consideration paid for cash settlement of Avadel equity awards134,897
Fair value of CVR contingent consideration107,713
Total preliminary purchase consideration$2,306,920

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date:

(1)

Inclusive of a measurement period adjustment of $0.4 million to reduce the deferred tax asset and increase goodwill following further review of Avadel’s uncertain tax position and associated deferred tax assets as of the Closing Date.

(2)

Inclusive of a measurement period adjustment of $0.1 million to increase the accounts payable and goodwill following the finalization and filing of Avadel’s 2025 tax returns.

(3)

Inclusive of a measurement period adjustment of $1.9 million to reduce the accrued sales discounts, allowances and reserves as of the Closing Date following further review.

(4)

Inclusive of a measurement period adjustment of $2.2 million to reduce the uncertain tax position and goodwill following further review of Avadel’s uncertain tax position as of the Closing Date.

In connection with the Avadel Acquisition, the vesting of certain outstanding Avadel equity awards was accelerated as of the Closing Date and each holder of a vested Avadel equity award became entitled to receive cash consideration and the right to receive one CVR per Avadel Share. The purchase price for the Avadel Acquisition includes $134.9 million related to Avadel Shares for which vesting was accelerated in connection with the acquisition and is attributable to pre-combination service. As of the Closing Date, the Company also recognized $18.4 million of share-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of unvested share-based compensation awards attributable to post-combination service.

Contingent payments of up to $165.7 million may become due to former Avadel shareholders upon the achievement of the CVR Milestone. In connection therewith, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability of $107.7 million as of the Closing Date to reflect the estimated fair value of such contingent consideration associated with the purchase consideration related to the Avadel Acquisition. As of the Closing Date, the Company also recognized $1.8 million of share-based compensation expense related to the fair value of the contingent CVR payment that may be made to former Avadel employees attributable to post-combination service.

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined under an income approach using a DCF model. The key assumptions considered include probability of milestone achievement and estimated discount rates. At each reporting period after the Avadel Acquisition, the Company will revalue the contingent consideration liability and will record increases or decreases in the fair value of the liability in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Please refer to Note 6, Fair Value, in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for information related to changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration.

Acquired Inventory

The fair value of the acquired inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which estimated the expected sales price of the product, reduced by all costs expected to be incurred to complete or to dispose of the inventory, as well as a market-participant profit allowance.

Acquired Intangible Assets

The identifiable intangible assets acquired included the following:

(In thousands)
LUMRYZ$1,768,600
In-process research and development26,300
Total identifiable intangible assets$1,794,900

The fair value of LUMRYZ was estimated based on a multi-period excess earnings method which calculates the present value of the estimated revenues and net cash flows derived from LUMRYZ. Amortization of LUMRYZ is calculated using the percentage of excess earnings over the economic useful life method. The IPR&D relates to the product candidate acquired in the Avadel Acquisition, valiloxybate. Due to the early stage of development of this asset, and given the proximity to the Closing Date of a license agreement entered into by Avadel related to valiloxybate and the lack of suitable market comparables, the valuation was prepared utilizing a cost approach consisting of the upfront payment under the license agreement, together with additional development costs incurred by Avadel prior to the Closing Date in respect of valiloxybate.

Deferred Tax Liabilities

The deferred tax liability of $183.1 million relates to the tax effect of the difference between the fair value and tax basis of acquired intangible assets owned by an Irish subsidiary of the Company. The deferred tax asset of $0.8 million relates to the tax effect of acquired net operating losses and temporary differences, partially offset by the difference between the fair value and tax basis of acquired intangible assets and inventory owned by a U.S. subsidiary of the Company.

As of the Closing Date, Avadel recorded an uncertain tax position of $2.2 million in connection with a U.S. state tax position. Upon further review of the position and identification of historic tax filings of a subsidiary of Avadel, the Company determined that the uncertainty was resolved prior to the Avadel Acquisition. Accordingly, the Company has removed the uncertain tax position liability and reduced the value of the associated deferred tax asset by approximately $0.4 million. These adjustments have resulted in a reduction of the estimated value of the goodwill recorded in connection with the Avadel Acquisition by $1.8 million as of the Closing Date.

Goodwill

The excess of the estimated fair value of the purchase price consideration over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the Avadel Acquisition. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill included the synergies that are specific to the Company’s business and not available to market participants, including the acquisition of a commercial organization with experience in narcolepsy which accelerates the Company’s commercial entry into the sleep medicine market and provides a strong foundation for the potential launch of alixorexton, the Company’s lead orexin development candidate.

Operations of Avadel

The operations of Avadel for the period of the Closing Date through September 30, 2026 have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded total revenues of $89.9 million and $226.0 million, respectively. The Company has determined that the presentation of net (loss) income is impracticable due to the integration of Avadel’s operations shortly after the Closing Date, noting Avadel and Alkermes do not operate as discrete entities within the Company’s organizational structure.

Transaction Costs

In conjunction with the Avadel Acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $1.5 million and $37.4 million of transaction costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, all of which were recognized as selling, general and administrative in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. There were no transaction costs incurred during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Pro forma financial information (unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 as if the Avadel Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial information for the Company and Avadel, along with certain pro forma adjustments described below. The unaudited pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflects revenues and net loss of Avadel from January 1, 2026 through the Closing Date, and excludes approximately $77.7 million of total direct one-time transaction costs incurred by Avadel, of which $64.6 million were incurred from January 1, 2026 through the Closing Date. The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the Avadel Acquisition occurred on the assumed date, nor is it necessarily an indication of future operating results.

Net income (loss)37,61926,54038,096(70,688)

The unaudited pro forma financial information includes, where applicable, adjustments primarily for:

(i)

increased amortization expense related to the LUMRYZ intangible asset acquired;

(ii)

increased costs of goods manufactured and sold related to the amortization of inventory fair value adjustments;

(iii)

increased interest expense to reflect the borrowings under the Facilities (as defined in Note 12, Long-Term Debtin these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”), including the interest and amortization of deferred financing costs, net of reversal of historical interest expense and loss on extinguishment of Avadel’s royalty financing obligation;

(iv)

adjustment of approximately $45.6 million in direct one-time acquisition transaction costs, including $9.7 million recognized in fiscal year 2025, from the periods incurred to the period these expenses would have been recognized given the assumed transaction date identified above;

(v)

adjustment of $20.2 million related to the acceleration of unvested share-based compensation awards attributable to post-combination service and the fair value related to the contingent CVR payment that could be made to former Avadel employees if the specified CVR milestone is met, from the period incurred to the periods in which these expenses would have been recognized with the assumed transaction date identified above; and

(vi)

the related income tax effects of these adjustments to the income tax provision (benefit) for the Company.

The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the cost of any integration activities, benefits from any synergies that may be derived from the Avadel Acquisition or revenue growth that may be anticipated.

  1. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

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

Product Sales, Net

The Company’s product sales, net consist of sales in the U.S. of ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO, LYBALVI, VIVITROL, and, following the completion of the Avadel Acquisition on February 12, 2026, LUMRYZ, primarily to wholesalers, specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies. Product sales, net are recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, which is when the product has been received by the customer.

During thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded product sales, net, as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)2026202520262025
VIVITROL$127,560$121,125$364,448$343,781
ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO103,89998,050294,442272,820
LYBALVI95,89998,248282,242252,550
LUMRYZ89,922—225,986—
Total product sales, net$417,280$317,423$1,167,118$869,151

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

The decrease in Medicaid rebates as a percentage of sales was primarily due to gross-to-net favorability, as actual Medicaid rebates related to VIVITROL and ARISTADA/ARISTADA INITIO were lower than original estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 by approximately $17.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2026, the Company’s investments in corporate debt securities had a minimum rating of A3 (Moody’s)/A (Standard and Poor’s), and 85 of the Company’s 99 investment securities were in an unrealized loss position with an aggregate estimated fair value of $140.1 million. The primary reason these securities were in an unrealized loss position is that they are fixed-rate securities that were acquired in a rising interest rate environment. In making the determination whether the decline in fair value of these securities was temporary, the Company evaluated whether it intended to sell the security and whether it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery, which may be at maturity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company realized a $0.5 million credit loss related to one of its corporate debt securities. Such loss was recorded within “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

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

The Company transfers its financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, between the fair value hierarchies at the end of each reporting period. There wereno transfers of any securities between levels during thenine months ended September 30, 2026.

The Company’s investments classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy were initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, utilizing market-observable data. The market-observable data included reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validated the prices developed using the market-observable data by obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain instances and confirming that the relevant markets are active.

At September 30, 2026, the fair value of the contingent consideration resulting from the Avadel Acquisition was $136.9 million and was recorded within “Contingent consideration” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contingent consideration was valued as a contingent liability utilizing Level 3 inputs as its fair value is based on significant inputs not observable in the market.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the fair value of the contingent consideration increased by $0.6 million and $27.4 million, respectively, of which the Company recorded $0.6 million and $27.0 million, respectively, related to consideration transferred within “Change in fair value of contingent consideration” and recognized share-based compensation expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to the acceleration of unvested share-based compensation awards attributable to post-combination service in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined as follows:

Following receipt of positive topline results from the REVITALYZ phase 3 clinical study of LUMRYZ in IH announced in May 2026, the Company increased the probability of success of achieving the CVR Milestone from 75% to 90%; and

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by applying a discount factor, calculated based on the likelihood of achievement of the CVR Milestone, from the expected time the milestone occurs to the end of the reporting period, to the estimated probability of success. The Company expects achievement of the CVR Milestone to be determined by the end of 2027 and used a discount rate of 7.08%.

The following table is a rollforward of the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities with fair values that were determined using Level 3 inputs at September 30, 2026:

Fair Value

The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, sales discounts, allowances and reserves approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt under its Facilities (as defined in Note 12, Long-Term Debtin these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”), which was based on quoted market price indications (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) and which may not be representative of actual values that could have been, or will be, realized in the future, was $1,511.8 million at September 30, 2026.

Although the Company believes such expectations are reasonable, given the inherent risks and uncertainties underlying its expectations regarding future revenues, there is the potential for the Company’s actual results to vary significantly from such expectations. If revenues are projected to change, the related amortization of the intangible assets will change in proportion to the change in revenues.

In connection with the Avadel Acquisition, the Company recorded the excess of the estimated fair value of the purchase price consideration over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. For additional information related to the estimated purchase price consideration see Note 3, Business Combination in these“Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”. A rollforward of the Company’s goodwill is as follows:

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a credit agreement, by and among Alkermes plc, as the TopCo Borrower, Alkermes, Inc., as the U.S. Borrower, Alkermes Finance LLC, as the U.S. Co-Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, BofA Securities, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”) and on August 12, 2026, the Company and the other parties thereto entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”). The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for (i) a senior secured term loan A facility in an outstanding principal amount of $745.3 million (the “TLA Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured term loan B facility in an outstanding principal amount of $773.1 million (the “TLB Facility” and together with the TLA Facility, the “Facilities”). The TLA Facility matures on February 12, 2031, and the TLB Facility matures on August 12, 2031.

The Credit Agreement Amendment reduced the interest rate spread (i) under the TLA Facility by 0.75% and (ii) under the TLB Facility by 0.50%, among other changes. After giving effect to the Credit Agreement Amendment, borrowings under the TLA Facility bear interest at an annual rate of, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement)-based margin, ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a Secured Net Leverage Ratio-based margin, ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum. Borrowings under the TLB Facility bear interest at an annual rate of, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 2.25% per annum or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 1.25% per annum.

The Credit Agreement (other than with respect to the TLB Facility) requires the maintenance of a maximum Secured Net Leverage Ratio and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, with the levels set forth in the Credit Agreement, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company ending after the Closing Date. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that apply after the Closing Date, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, investments, transactions with affiliates, restricted payments and sales and leasebacks. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including upon a change of control.

The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by subsidiary guarantors and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and the subsidiary guarantors, whether owned as of the Closing Date or thereafter acquired.

In November 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated bridge term credit agreement, which provided for a senior secured bridge term loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $1.5 billion (the “Bridge Credit Facility”) to fund a portion of the consideration for the Avadel Acquisition (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”). The Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated upon entry into the Credit Agreement. For a description of the Bridge Credit Facility and the Bridge Credit Agreement, see Note 11, Long-Term Debt in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company incurred none and $7.4 million, respectively, in financing costs related to the Bridge Credit Agreement which was recorded within “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

The Credit Agreement Amendment involved multiple lenders who were considered members of a loan syndicate. In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments(“ASC 470”), the Company evaluated the amendment on a lender-by-lender basis to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as a debt modification, debt extinguishment, or new debt issuance. Under ASC 470, a modification is considered substantially different if the present value of the remaining cash flows under the amended terms differs by at least 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original terms (the “10% Test”). The Company performed the 10% Test separately for each lender in the TLA Facility and TLB Facility syndicates. Based on this analysis, the portions of the TLB Facility attributable to three exiting lenders were accounted for as debt extinguishments, and the allocation to one new lender was accounted for as a new debt issuance. The Credit Agreement Amendment was otherwise accounted for as a debt modification.

In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company incurred approximately $2.6 million of arranger fees and recognized approximately $0.5 million related to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs associated with the extinguished portion of the debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized these amounts within “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Scheduled maturities with respect to the Facilities are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31:
2026$6,625
202726,500
202840,563
202945,250
203045,250
Thereafter1,347,562
Total$1,511,750

The Company is subject to mandatory prepayments of principal in certain circumstances, as set forth in the Facilities. To date, the Company has not been required to make any such mandatory prepayments. The Facilities also contain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at September 30, 2026.

At September 30, 2026, the Company’s balance of unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount costs were $3.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated repayment period of the Facilities using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company had amortization expense related to these costs of $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

In October 2026, the Company entered into two zero-cost interest rate collar agreements, each with a notional amount of $375.0 million, to limit the maximum interest on the Company’s long-term variable-rate debt and decrease its exposure to interest rate variability relating to three-month Term SOFR. The interest rate collar agreements both include a Term SOFR cap of 5.25% and Term SOFR floors of 4.25% and 4.30%, respectively, and mature in February 2029 and February 2030, respectively.

  1. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In February 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase ordinary shares of the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $400.0 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases) from time to time on the open market (the “Repurchase Program”), with the specific timing and amounts of repurchases under the Repurchase Program dependent on a variety of factors, including but not limited to ongoing assessments of the Company’s needs, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of the Company’s ordinary sharesand general market conditions. The Repurchase Program has no set expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million of its ordinary shares under the Repurchase Program at an average purchase price of $27.82 per share, resulting in a total cost, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases, of $27.7 million. All ordinary shares repurchased were returned to treasury. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 or the three months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the remaining amount authorized under the Repurchase Program was $172.3 million.

On May 20, 2026, the Company’s shareholders approved an amended version of the Alkermes plc 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan that served to, among other things, increase the number of ordinary shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 5,900,000.

  1. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE

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

  1. INCOME TAXES

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

As of September 30, 2026, the Company has recognized $120.8 million of deferred tax assets and, based on all available evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the existing and acquired tax attributes and the weight of the available evidence, believes it is more-likely-than-not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. For a discussion about the deferred tax assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the Avadel Acquisition, see Note 3, Business Combinationin these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million and an income tax provision of $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and tax provisions of $18.0 million and $38.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

The income tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2026 primarily relates to employee equity activity. The income tax provision during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to taxes on income earned in the U.S. The income tax provisions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to taxes on income earned in Ireland.

The Company’s effective tax rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were (1.3)% and 16.8%, respectively. The negative effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was due to taxes on income (including non-deductible expenses) earned in the U.S., and an overall loss before income taxes. The effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 exceeded the Irish statutory tax rate of 12.5%, primarily due to non-deductible expenses and income that was taxable at rates higher than the Irish statutory tax rate.

In March 2026, the Company was notified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that Alkermes US Holdings, Inc. (“Alkermes US Holdings”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and subsidiaries of Alkermes US Holdings had been selected for examination for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company is cooperating with the IRS by responding to inquiries and providing requested documentation. As of the date of this report, no adjustments have been proposed by the IRS as a result of this examination.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company would accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to claims and litigation, accruals are based on the Company’s best estimates, utilizing all available information. On a periodic basis, as additional information becomes available, or based on specific events such as the outcome of litigation or settlement of claims, the Company may reassess the potential liability related to these matters and may revise these estimates, which could result in material adverse adjustments to the Company’s operating results. At September 30, 2026, there wereno potential material losses from claims, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceedings that the Company determined were probable of occurring. For claims that are reasonably possible, no estimable loss or range of loss can be made.

This lawsuit was filed following receipt of a “paragraph IV certification” notice from Granules regarding its filing of an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) seeking approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of a generic version of LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of the Company’s U.S. patents related to LUMRYZ. The Company intends to vigorously defend its intellectual property. The filing of the lawsuit within 45 days of receipt of the notice triggered a stay of FDA approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months in accordance with the U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”).

LYBALVI ANDA Litigation

In August 2025, Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited (“APIL”) and Alkermes, Inc., two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Teva (as defined herein) in the NJ District Court and a patent infringement lawsuit against Apotex in each of the NJ District Court and the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “DE District Court”). In September 2025, APIL and Alkermes, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against MSN (as defined herein) in the NJ District Court. In June 2026, APIL and Alkermes, Inc. filed an additional patent infringement lawsuit against Apotex in the NJ District Court, which was consolidated on July 23, 2026 with the previously filed lawsuit in the NJ District Court. As used herein, Teva refers to Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Apotex refers to Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp., and MSN refers to MSN Laboratories Private Limited (“MSN Labs”), MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Novadoz Pharmaceuticals LLC.

The notices alleged that certain of the Company’s patents related to LYBALVI are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the proposed generic products. The Company intends to vigorously defend its intellectual property. The filing of each lawsuit within 45 days of receipt of each of the respective notices triggered stays of FDA approval of each of the respective ANDAs for up to 30 months in accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act.

Antitrust Class Action Litigation

In October 2025, Value Drug Company filed a complaint asserting antitrust claims against Alkermes, Inc. and APIL in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “MA District Court”). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of direct purchasers of VIVITROL and alleges that the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 7,919,499 related to VIVITROL was fraudulently obtained, improperly listed in the Orange Book, and wrongfully enforced, resulting in delayed market entry for generic forms of VIVITROL. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, unspecified money damages plus interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs.

(“Acorda”) filed a petition with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “NY Southern District Court”) asking the court to confirm in part and modify in part the final arbitral award rendered by an arbitration panel in October 2022 and, as part of the requested modification, seeking an additional approximately $66.0 million in damages. In August 2023, the NY Southern District Court confirmed the final arbitral award and declined to modify the final award to increase the damages awarded thereunder. In September 2023, Acorda filed a notice of appeal of the NY Southern District Court decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit Court”). In July 2025, the Federal Circuit Court transferred the appeal due to lack of jurisdiction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”). On July 15, 2026, the Second Circuit affirmed the NY Southern District Court’s decision in favor of Alkermes. On October 13, 2026, Acorda filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States.
