Previous report

As part of the approval of Afrezza, the FDA required us to conduct certain additional clinical studies of Afrezza, including a long-term safety study that was originally intended to compare the incidence of pulmonary malignancy observed with Afrezza to that observed in a standard of care control group. Although the FDA informed us that we were released from this postmarketing requirement in May 2026, we may be required to conduct additional clinical studies of our future product candidates, which could require substantial capital resources that we may not be able to obtain.

Reworded paragraphs (9)

Previous wording

One such potential pipeline product is ralinepag DPI, a novel, highly selective prostacyclin receptor agonist for which United Therapeutics intends to submit an NDA in the second half of 2026. Although we are also collaborating with United Therapeutics on the development of a dry powder formulation of ralinepag DPI (MNKD-1501), a significant portion of our current revenue is derived from royalties and collaboration and services revenue associated with United Therapeutics’ commercialization of Tyvaso DPI. Because United Therapeutics is solely responsible for the development, marketing, promotion, and sale of Tyvaso DPI, our ability to maintain and grow this revenue is highly dependent on the commercial performance of Tyvaso DPI and on United Therapeutics’ strategic priorities, resource allocation decisions, and overall commitment to undertake development activities that could potentially expand the therapeutic indications for Tyvaso DPI. Moreover, we have limited control over United Therapeutics’ commercialization activities, including decisions related to marketing strategy, salesforce deployment, pricing, market access, physician outreach, patient support programs, and the prioritization of Tyvaso DPI relative to other products in its portfolio.

Previous wording

We operate in a global economy, and our business depends on a global supply chain for the development, manufacturing, and distribution of our products, and for the advancement of our preclinical and clinical development programs. There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.2 billion. The accumulated deficit has resulted principally from costs incurred in our R&D programs, the write-off of assets (including goodwill, inventory and property, plant and equipment) and general operating expenses. We expect to make substantial expenditures and may incur operating losses in the future in order to continue commercializing our products and to advance development of product candidates in our pipeline.

Current wording

As of September 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.3 billion. The accumulated deficit has resulted principally from costs incurred in our R&D programs, the write-off of assets (including goodwill, inventory and property, plant and equipment) and general operating expenses. We expect to make substantial expenditures and may incur operating losses in the future in order to continue commercializing our products and to advance development of product candidates in our pipeline.

Previous wording

We have generally sought to develop product candidates through our internal research programs. All product candidates require preclinical, clinical and other testing prior to seeking regulatory approval to market them. Accordingly, the development timelines for product candidates can stretch over many years. Further research and development on these programs requires significant financial resources. Given our limited financial resources, we may not be able to complete the full clinical development of our product candidates unless we are able to obtain specific funding for these programs or enter into collaborations with third parties.

Further, if there are any modifications to an approved product, including changes in indications, labeling, or manufacturing processes or facilities, we may be required to submit and obtain FDA approval of a new or supplemental NDA and/or supplemental biologics license application ("sBLA"), which may require us to develop additional data or conduct additional preclinical studies and clinical trials. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in regulatory enforcement actions and adverse publicity. If future clinical trials are unsuccessful, significantly delayed or not completed, we may not be able to market products for other indications.

Previous wording

In both the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, there has been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals in recent years to change the healthcare system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably. For example, on July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law, which narrowed access to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) marketplace exchange enrollment and declined to extend the PPACA enhanced advanced premium tax credits that expired at the end of 2025, which, among other provisions in the law, are anticipated to reduce the number of Americans with health insurance. The OBBBA also is expected to reduce Medicaid spending and enrollment by implementing work requirements for some beneficiaries, capping state-directed payments, reducing federal funding, and limiting provider taxes used to fund the program. Congress is considering proposed legislation intended to further reduce healthcare costs with alternatives to replace the expired PPACA subsidies. It is possible that the PPACA will be subject to judicial or Congressional challenges in the future. It is unclear how any such challenges, other litigation, and the healthcare reform measures of the current administration will impact the PPACA.

Previous wording

The current administration is pursuing policies to reduce regulations and expenditures across government including at HHS, the FDA, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and related agencies. These actions, presently directed by executive orders or memoranda from the Office of Management and Budget, may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for MannKind’s business. For example, the current administration has announced agreements with several pharmaceutical companies that require the drug manufacturers to offer, through a direct to consumer platform, U.S. patients and Medicaid programs prescription drug Most-Favored-Nation pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues. Other recent actions and proposals include (1) reducing agency workforce; (2) directing HHS and other agencies to lower prescription drug costs for Medicare through a variety of initiatives, including by improving upon the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program and establishing Most-Favored-Nation pricing for pharmaceutical products; (3) imposing tariffs on certain imported pharmaceutical products; and (4) as part of the Make America Healthy Again Commission’s recent Strategy Report, working across government agencies to increase enforcement on direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising. Additionally, the current administration recently called on Congress to enact “The Great Healthcare Plan,” to codify and expand Most-Favored-Nation pricing, lower government subsidies to private insurance companies, increase healthcare price transparency, expand pharmaceutical drugs available for over-the-counter purchase, and enact restrictions on pharmacy benefit manager payment methodologies, among other things. These actions and policies may significantly reduce U.S. drug prices, potentially impacting manufacturers’ global pricing strategies and profitability, while increasing their operational costs and compliance risks. If Most-Favored-Nation pricing for pharmaceutical products is implemented and applicable to Afrezza, our revenue opportunities for Afrezza may be adversely affected, as our U.S. pricing for Afrezza would have to be reduced to the lowest price paid for Afrezza outside of the United States. In such event and subject to the terms of our agreements with our ex-U.S. partners, we may choose to forgo the ex-U.S. market. Likewise, our royalty revenue from Tyvaso DPI could suffer for the same reason. In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision greatly reduced judicial deference to regulatory agencies, which could increase successful legal challenges to federal regulations affecting our operations. Finally, Congress may introduce and ultimately pass health care related legislation that could impact the drug approval process and make changes to the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program. We cannot predict which add…

For example, recent drug pricing initiatives also create uncertainty and could materially affect our future business and financial condition. For example, the administration is pursuing most-favored-nation drug pricing policies for certain prescription drugs. As part of these initiatives, the administration is implementing or considering various CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation models, under which manufacturers may owe rebates for certain prescription drugs under Medicaid or Medicare if the price of a drug included in an applicable model exceeds an international benchmark calculated based on prices available in certain reference countries. These include the GENErating cost Reductions for U.S. Medicaid (GENEROUS) Model, which focuses on Medicaid covered outpatient drugs and is currently voluntary for manufacturers and states; the finalized Global Benchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing Model (GLOBE) Model for c…
