Our patient-focused and science-driven approach powers pioneering R&D advancements across our robust pipeline of innovative therapeutics.
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references to “Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc,” “the registrant,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc and its consolidated subsidiaries. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all references to “ordinary shares” refer to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc’s ordinary shares.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, for any other interim period or for any future period.
Our significant accounting policies have not changed substantially from those previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc and our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Commencing in 2026, we changed the presentation of our financial statements and accompanying footnote disclosures from thousands to millions. This change did not materially impact previously reported financial information; however, certain prior period amounts have insignificant differences due to rounding.
Our operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CODM. Our CODM has been identified as our President and Chief Executive Officer. We have determined that we operate inone business segment, which is the identification, development and commercialization of meaningful pharmaceutical products that address unmet medical needs. The CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources for the segment based on net income (loss) and a measure of segment assets which are on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments,” which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. ASU 2024-04 was effective for the Company from January 1, 2026 and is effective on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-04) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of the nature of certain expenses included in the income statement. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance.
- Disposition
Gain on sale of PRV
In January 2026, we completed the sale of our rare pediatric disease PRV for total cash consideration of $200.0 million. We received 50% of the post-tax proceeds with the remainder paid to the former stockholders of Oncoceutics, Inc., which was acquired by Chimerix in 2021. We received the PRV in connection with the approval of Modeyso by FDA for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with diffuse midline glioma harboring an H3 K27M mutation in August 2025.
Upon closing, we recognized a pre-tax gain on disposal of $122.8 million in our consolidated statements of income (loss) in the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing the total cash consideration received of $200.0 million, less the post-tax proceeds paid to the former stockholders of Oncoceutics, Inc.
- Cash and Available-for-Sale Securities
Cash, cash equivalents and investments consisted of the following (in millions):

| Totals | $2,441.9 | $— | $— | $2,441.9 | $1,391.9 | $1,050.0 |
Cash equivalents and investments are considered available-for-sale securities. We use the specific-identification method for calculating realized gains and losses on securities sold and include them in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Our investment balances represent time deposits with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year. Interest income from available-for-sale securities was$23.4 million and $27.6 million inthe three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
- Fair Value Measurement
The following table summarizes, by major security type, our available-for-sale securities and derivative contracts as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis and were categorized using the fair value hierarchy (in millions):
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuotedPrices inActiveMarkets forIdenticalAssets(Level 1) | SignificantOtherObservableInputs(Level 2) | TotalEstimatedFair Value | QuotedPrices inActiveMarkets forIdenticalAssets(Level 1) | SignificantOtherObservableInputs(Level 2) | TotalEstimatedFair Value | |

| Interest rate contracts | — | 0.1 | 0.1 | — | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Totals | $— | $8.5 | $8.5 | $— | $4.2 | $4.2 |
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our available-for-sale securities included money market funds and time deposits and their carrying values were approximately equal to their fair values. Money market funds were measured using quoted prices in active markets, which represent Level 1 inputs and time deposits were measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. Level 2 inputs are obtained from various third party data providers and represent quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or these inputs were derived from observable market data, or if not directly observable, were derived from or corroborated by other observable market data.
Our derivative assets and liabilities include interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk as well as an evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
There were no transfers between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2026 or 2025.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of investments measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value was $4.3 million. The carrying amount, which is recorded within other non-current assets, is based on the latest observable transaction price.
As of March 31, 2026 the estimated fair values of the 2026 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the Secured Notes and the Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans were $1.2 billion, $1.4 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair values of the 2026 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the Secured Notes and the Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans were $1.2 billion, $1.3 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. The fair value of each of these debt facilities was estimated using quoted market prices obtained from brokers (Level 2).
- Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to certain risks arising from operating internationally, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates primarily related to the translation of sterling and euro denominated net monetary liabilities, including intercompany balances, held by subsidiaries with a U.S. dollar functional currency and fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding term loan borrowings. We manage these exposures within specified guidelines through the use of derivatives. All of our derivative instruments are utilized for risk management purposes, and we do not use derivatives for speculative trading purposes.
We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts, with durations of up to 12 months, designed to limit the exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates related to the translation of certain non-U.S. dollar denominated liabilities, including intercompany balances. Hedge accounting is not applied to these derivative instruments as gains and losses on these hedge transactions are designed to offset gains and losses on underlying balance sheet exposures. As of March 31, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts where hedge accounting is not applied was $398.0 million and $575.9 million, respectively.
The foreign exchange gain (loss) in our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) included the following gains (losses) associated with foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments (in millions):
| Three Months EndedMarch 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts: | 2026 | 2025 |
| Gain (loss) recognized in foreign exchange gain (loss) | $(8.5) | $8.6 |
To achieve a desired mix of floating and fixed interest rates on our variable rate debt, we entered into interest rate swap agreements in April 2023, which are effective until April 2026. These agreements hedge contractual term loan interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate swap agreements had a notional amount of $500.0 million. As a result of these agreements, the interest rate on a portion of our term loan borrowings is fixed at 3.9086%, plus the borrowing spread, until April 30, 2026.
The impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss and earnings from derivative instruments that qualified as cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was not material.
The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are included within net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following tables summarize the fair value of outstanding derivatives (in millions):
| Classification | March 31,2026 | December 31,2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|

| Total fair value of derivative liability instruments | $8.5 | $4.2 | |
Although we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities within our condensed consolidated balance sheets, our International Swap and Derivatives Association agreements provide for net settlement of transactions that are due to or from the same counterparty upon early termination of the agreement due to an event of default or other termination event. These provisions were not applicable as of March 31, 2026 since all derivatives were in a liability position. The following table summarizes the potential effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets of offsetting our interest rate and foreign exchange forward contracts subject to such provisions as of December 31, 2025 (in millions):
| December 31, 2025 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

- Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):
| March 31,2026 | December 31,2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | $27.6 | $22.0 |
| Work in process | 290.4 | 253.4 |
| Finished goods | 119.5 | 141.6 |
| Total inventories | $437.5 | $417.0 |
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, inventories included $16.6 million and $54.1 million, respectively, related to the purchase accounting inventory fair value step-up on inventory acquired as part of our GW Acquisition.
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The gross carrying amount of goodwill was as follows (in millions):
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $1,829.3 |
|---|---|
| Foreign exchange | (24.3) |
| Balance at March 31, 2026 | $1,805.0 |
The gross carrying amounts and net book values of our intangible assets were as follows (in millions):
| March 31, 2026 · December 31, 2025 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RemainingWeighted-Average UsefulLife(In years) | GrossCarryingAmount | AccumulatedAmortization | Net BookValue | GrossCarryingAmount | AccumulatedAmortization | Net BookValue | |
| Acquired developed technologies | 6.6 | $8,092.6 | $(3,888.8) | $4,203.8 | $8,194.6 | $(3,765.1) | $4,429.5 |

The decrease in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily relates to the negative impact of foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the weakening of sterling against the U.S. dollar.
The assumptions and estimates used to determine future cash flows and remaining useful lives of our intangible and other long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors, such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our forecasts for specific product lines.
Based on finite-lived intangible assets recorded as of March 31, 2026, and assuming the underlying assets will not be impaired and that we will not change the expected lives of the assets, future amortization expenses were estimated as follows (in millions):
| Year Ending December 31, | Estimated Amortization Expense |
|---|---|
| 2026 (remainder) | $505.4 |
| 2027 | 665.1 |
| 2028 | 641.2 |

(1) Balances include the 2026 Notes since they mature in June 2026.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
The Exchangeable Senior Notes were issued by Jazz Investments, or the Issuer, a 100%-owned finance subsidiary of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. The Exchangeable Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. No subsidiary of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc guaranteed the Exchangeable Senior Notes. Subject to certain local law restrictions on payment of dividends, among other things, and potential negative tax consequences, we are not aware of any significant restrictions on the ability of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc to obtain funds from the Issuer or Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc’s other subsidiaries by dividend or loan, or any legal or economic restrictions on the ability of the Issuer or Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc’s other subsidiaries to transfer funds to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. There is no assurance that in the future such restrictions will not be adopted.
The total liability of the 2030 Notes is reflected net of issuance costs of $19.2 million which will be amortized over the term of the 2030 Notes. The effective interest rate of the 2030 Notes is 3.47%. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized interest expense of $8.5 million, of which $7.8 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $0.7 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.
The total liability of the 2026 Notes is reflected net of issuance costs of $15.3 million which will be amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes. The effective interest rate of the 2026 Notes is 2.26%. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized interest expense of $5.5 million, of which $5.0 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $0.5 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Maturities
Scheduled maturities with respect to our long-term debt principal balances outstanding as of March 31, 2026 were as follows (in millions):
| Year Ending December 31, | Scheduled Long-Term Debt Maturities |

| 2026 (remainder) | $1,023.3 |
| 2027 | 31.0 |
| 2028 | 1,848.5 |
| 2029 | 1,500.0 |
| 2030 | 1,000.0 |
| Total | $5,402.8 |
- Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification, including indemnification associated with product liability or infringement of intellectual property rights. Our exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves future claims that may be made but have not yet been made against us. To date, we have not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to these indemnification obligations.
We have agreed to indemnify our executive officers, directors and certain other employees for losses and costs incurred in connection with certain events or occurrences, including advancing money to cover certain costs, subject to certain limitations. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under the indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, we maintain insurance policies that may limit our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Assuming the applicability of coverage, the willingness of the insurer to assume coverage, and subject to certain retention, loss limits and other policy provisions, we believe the fair value of these indemnification obligations is not significant. Accordingly, we did not recognize any liabilities relating to these obligations as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. No assurances can be given that the covering insurers will not attempt to dispute the validity, applicability, or amount of coverage without expensive litigation against these insurers, in which case we may incur substantial liabilities as a result of these indemnification obligations.
Legal Proceedings
We are involved in legal proceedings, including the following matters:
Patent Infringement Litigation
Xywav Patent Litigation
In June 2021, we received notice from Lupin, that it has filed with FDA an ANDA, for a generic version of Xywav. The notice from Lupin included a paragraph IV certification with respect toten of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav on the date of our receipt of the notice. The asserted patents relate generally to the composition and method of use of Xywav, and methods of treatment when Xywav is administered concomitantly with certain other medications.
In July 2021, we filed a patent infringement suit against Lupin in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges that by filing its ANDA, Lupin has infringedten of our Orange Book listed patents. We are seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Lupin from introducing a generic version of Xywav that would infringe our patents. As a result of this lawsuit, we expect that a stay of approval of up to 30 months will be imposed by FDA on Lupin's ANDA. In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of Orphan Drug Exclusivity for Xywav through July 21, 2027. On October 4, 2021, Lupin filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaims asserting that the patents are invalid or not enforceable, and that its product, if approved, will not infringe our patents.
In April 2022, we received notice from Lupin that it had filed a paragraph IV certification regarding a newly-issued patent listed in the Orange Book for Xywav. On May 11, 2022, we filed an additional lawsuit against Lupin in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that by filing its ANDA, Lupin infringed the newly-issued patent related to a method of treatment when Xywav is administered concomitantly with certain other medications. The suit seeks a permanent injunction to prevent Lupin from introducing a generic version of Xywav that would infringe our patent. On June 22, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey consolidated thetwo lawsuits we filed against Lupin.
In November 2022, we received notice from Lupin that it had filed a paragraph IV certification regarding a newly-issued patent listed in the Orange Book for Xywav. On January 19, 2023, we filed an additional lawsuit against Lupin in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that by filing its ANDA, Lupin infringed the newly-issued patent referenced in its November 2022 paragraph IV certification, as well as another patent that issued in January 2023. The suit seeks a permanent injunction to prevent Lupin from introducing a generic version of Xywav that would infringe thetwo patents in suit. On February 15, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey consolidated the new lawsuit with thetwo suits we previously filed against Lupin. No trial date has been set in the consolidated case against Lupin.
In February 2023, we received notice from Teva that it had filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Xywav. The notice from Teva included a paragraph IV certification with respect tothirteen of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav on the date of the receipt of the notice. The asserted patents relate generally to the composition and method of use of Xywav, and methods of treatment when Xywav is administered concomitantly with certain other medications.
In March 2023, we filed a patent infringement suit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges that by filing its ANDA, Teva has infringed thirteen of our Orange Book listed patents. We are seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Teva from introducing a generic version of Xywav that would infringe our patents. As a result of this lawsuit, we expect that a stay of approval of up to 30 months will be imposed by FDA on Teva’s ANDA. On May 23, 2023, Teva filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaims asserting that the patents are invalid or not enforceable, and that its product, if approved, will not infringe our patents.
On December 15, 2023, based on a stipulation between all parties, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey consolidated the Lupin lawsuits and the Teva lawsuit for all purposes. No trial date has been set in the consolidated case.
In July 2024, we received notices from Lupin and Teva that they had each filed a paragraph IV certification regarding a newly-issued patent listed in the Orange Book for Xywav. On August 27, 2024, we filed an additional lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of Lupin and Teva, alleging that, by filing its ANDA, each party infringed the newly-issued patent related to a method of treatment using Xywav. The suits seek orders that the effective date of FDA approval of each defendant’s application shall be a date no earlier than the expiration of the newly-issued patent.
In July 2025, we received notice from Granules that it has filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Xywav. The notice from Granules included a paragraph IV certification with respect tofourteen of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav on the date of the receipt of the notice. The asserted patents relate generally to the composition and method of use of Xywav, and methods of treatment when Xywav is administered concomitantly with certain other medications.
In August 2025, we filed a patent infringement suit against Granules in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges that by filing its ANDA, Granules has infringed fourteen of our Orange Book-listed patents. We are seeking a permanent injunction to prevent Granules from introducing a generic version of Xywav that would infringe our patents. As a result of this lawsuit, we expect that a stay of approval of up to 30 months will be imposed by FDA on Granules’ ANDA.
In March 2026, we entered into a settlement agreement with Granules that resolved our patent litigation with Granules related to Xywav. Under the settlement agreement, we granted a license to certain of the patents listed in the Orange Book for Xywav that could, under certain circumstances, allow Granules to launch its generic version of Xywav prior to the expiration of the licensed patents. The specific terms of the Granules settlement agreement are confidential.
The settlement with Granules does not resolve the litigation against Lupin or Teva, which is ongoing. We cannot predict the specific timing or outcome of events in these matters with respect to the remaining defendants or the impact of developments involving any specific parties or patents on other ongoing proceedings with Lupin or Teva.
Zepzelca Patent Litigation
In July and August 2024, we received notices from the Zepzelca ANDA Filers that they have each filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Zepzelca (lurbinectedin). As of the date of this filing, we are not aware of other ANDA filers. The notices from the Zepzelca ANDA Filers each included a paragraph IV certification with respect to a patent listed in the Orange Book for Zepzelca on the date of the receipt of the notice. The listed patent relates to the drug substance, drug product and approved use of Zepzelca. We are the exclusive licensee to this Zepzelca patent pursuant to an agreement with PharmaMar. A paragraph IV certification is a certification by a generic applicant that alleges that the patent covering the branded product is invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the generic product.
On September 11, 2024, we and PharmaMar filed a patent infringement suit against the Zepzelca ANDA Filers in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges that by filing their ANDAs, the Zepzelca ANDA
Filers have infringed the Orange Book listed patent for Zepzelca, and seeks an order that the effective date of FDA approval of the ANDAs shall be a date no earlier than the expiration of the asserted patent.
In December 2024, we received the Zepzelca ANDA Filers’ answers to the complaint. The answers include defenses and counterclaims asserting that the Zepzelca ANDA Filers’ products, if launched, would not infringe our patents and that our patents are invalid. No trial date has been set in this matter.
On March 26, 2025, we and Sandoz Inc. stipulated to the dismissal of our lawsuit against Sandoz Inc. without prejudice.
On September 12, 2024, we and PharmaMar filed a patent infringement suit against RK Pharma, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges that by filing its ANDA, RK Pharma has infringed the Orange Book listed patent for Zepzelca, and seeks an order that the effective date of FDA approval of RK Pharma’s ANDA shall be no earlier than the expiration of the asserted patent. On November 13, 2024, we voluntarily dismissed this action against RK Pharma in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. RK Pharma remains a defendant in the litigation referenced above in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In July 2025, we received notice from InvaGen that it had filed a paragraph IV certification regarding a newly-issued patent listed in the Orange Book for Zepzelca. On September 4, 2025, we filed an additional lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the Zepzelca ANDA Filers, alleging that, by filing its ANDA, each party infringed the newly-issued patent related to a method of treatment using Zepzelca. The suit seeks orders that the effective date of FDA approval for each defendant’s application shall be no earlier than the expiration of the newly-issued patent.
Defitelio Patent Litigation
In March 2025, we received a notice from Almaject that it had filed with FDA an ANDA for a generic version of Defitelio (defibrotide sodium). The notice from Almaject included a paragraph IV certification respect to certain of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Defitelio on the date of the notice. The listed patents relate generally to the Defitelio drug product and its approved use. On April 16, 2025, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Almaject in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint alleges that by filing its ANDA, Almaject has infringed certain of our Orange Book listed patents, and seeks an order that the effective date of FDA approval for the Almaject ANDA shall be on a date no earlier than the expiration of the last to expire of the asserted patents. As a result of this lawsuit, we expect that a stay of approval of up to 30 months will be imposed by FDA on Almaject’s ANDA.
In March 2026, we filed a second patent infringement lawsuit against Almaject in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey based ontwo additional patents listed in the Orange Book for Defitelio. The patents relate generally to the Defitelio drug product. The complaint alleges that by filing its ANDA, Almaject has infringed the patents, and seeks an order that the effective date of FDA approval for the Almaject ANDA shall be on a date no earlier than the expiration of the last to expire of the asserted patents.
Tris Pharma Patent Litigation
In January 2026, we received notices from Tris Pharma that it had filed with FDA a Section 505(b)(2) NDA with Xyrem and Xywav as reference listed drugs. The first notice included a paragraph IV certification with respect toseven patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xyrem, and the second notice included a paragraph IV certification with respect tofifteen patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav on the date of our receipt of the notice. Seven of the listed patents relate generally to methods of treatment when Xywav or Xyrem is administered concomitantly with certain other medications, and the remaining eight relate generally to the composition and method of use of Xywav.
On February 20, 2026, we filedtwo patent infringement suits against Tris Pharma in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaints allege that by filing its Section 505(b)(2) NDA, Tris Pharma infringed certain of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xyrem and certain of our patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for Xywav, respectively. Each lawsuit seeks an order that the effective date of FDA approval of Tris Pharma’s Section 505(b)(2) NDA shall be a date no earlier than the expiration of the last to expire of the asserted patents. As a result of this lawsuit, we expect that a stay of approval of up to 30 months will be imposed by FDA of Tris Pharma’s Section 505(b)(2) NDA. On April 24, 2026, Tris Pharma filed motions to dismiss our complaints for patent infringement. Those motions remain pending and no hearing date has been set.
Qui Tam Matters
In July 2022, we received a subpoena from the USAO for the District of Massachusetts requesting documents related to Xyrem and U.S. Patent No. 8,772,306 (“Method of Administration of Gamma Hydroxybutyrate with Monocarboxylate Transporters”), product labeling changes for Xyrem, communications with FDA and the USPTO, pricing of Xyrem, and other related documents. On July 18, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam whistleblower lawsuit underlying the USAO’s subpoena, captioned 1:21-cv-10891-PBS and originally filed under seal on May 27, 2021. The public docket in this matter indicates that on May 24 and June 7, 2024, respectively, the U.S. and a number of states named in the whistleblower complaint declined to intervene in this matter. Private whistleblower litigation then proceeded in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts set a deadline of September 1, 2024, for the plaintiff to file an amended complaint, and December 2, 2024, for us to file a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The plaintiff filed the amended complaint on September 1, 2024. We filed our motion to dismiss on December 2, 2024. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts held oral argument on the motion to dismiss on April 2, 2025. On September 23, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts granted our motion and dismissed the plaintiff’s federal claims with prejudice and state-law claims without prejudice.
On January 23, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York unsealed a lawsuit filed by a qui tam whistleblower against us under the New York state False Claims Act, captioned 1:25-cv-08797-PKC. The docket reflects that the New York Attorney General declined to participate in the litigation. This lawsuit repeats almost verbatim allegations asserted by this same whistleblower against us in the case that was dismissed on September 23, 2025, by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, 1:21-cv-10891-PBS. We will continue to vigorously defend against these claims.
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe there is no other litigation pending that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
- Shareholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
In July 2024, our board of directors authorized the Repurchase Program, to repurchase ordinary shares having an aggregate purchase price of $500.0 million, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. The Repurchase Program, which has no expiration date, allows us to repurchase ordinary shares from time to time by any methods and/or structures permitted by applicable law. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the price of our ordinary shares, alternative investment opportunities, restrictions under the Amended Credit Agreement and the indenture for our Secured Notes, corporate and regulatory requirements and market conditions. The Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without our prior notice. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no shares were repurchased. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the Repurchase Program was $225.0 million, exclusive of any brokerage commissions.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows (in millions):
| Net UnrealizedLoss From Hedging Activities | ForeignCurrencyTranslationAdjustments | TotalAccumulatedOtherComprehensiveLoss | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $(0.4) | $(568.2) | $(568.6) |
| Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications | 0.1 | (82.7) | (82.6) |
| Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss | 0.2 | — | 0.2 |
| Other comprehensive income (loss), net | 0.3 | (82.7) | (82.4) |
| Balance at March 31, 2026 | $(0.1) | $(650.9) | $(651.0) |
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, other comprehensive income (loss) primarily reflects foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily due to the weakening of sterling against the U.S. dollar.
- Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share
Basic net income (loss) per ordinary share is based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is based on the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding and potentially dilutive ordinary shares outstanding.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share were computed as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):
| Three Months EndedMarch 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income (loss) | $293.1 | $(92.5) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Weighted-average ordinary shares used in per share calculations - basic | 61.9 | 61.0 |
| Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive and purchase plans | 2.7 | — |
| Dilutive effect of the Exchangeable Senior Notes | 1.5 | — |
| Weighted-average ordinary shares used in per share calculations - diluted | 66.1 | 61.0 |
| Net income (loss) per ordinary share: | ||
| Basic | $4.73 | $(1.52) |
| Diluted | $4.43 | $(1.52) |
Potentially dilutive ordinary shares from our employee equity incentive and purchase plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs and PRSUs, the assumed exercise of share options and the assumed issuance of ordinary shares under our ESPP.
In July 2024, we irrevocably elected to fix the settlement method for exchanges of the 2026 Notes to a combination of cash and ordinary shares of the Company with a specified cash amount per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes exchanged equal to or in excess of $1,000. As a result of the election, an exchanging holder will receive (i) up to $1,000 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes exchanged and (ii) cash, ordinary shares, or any combination thereof, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its exchange obligation in excess of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes exchanged. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per ordinary share when the average market price of our ordinary shares for a given period exceeds the conversion price, of approximately $155.81 per ordinary share, of the 2026 Notes. The average market price of our ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025 did not exceed the conversion price of the 2026 Notes.
For the 2030 Notes, we are required to settle the principal amount in cash and have the option to settle the conversion feature for the amount above the conversion price, or the conversion spread, in cash, ordinary shares or a combination of cash and ordinary shares. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per ordinary share when the average market price of our ordinary shares for a given period exceeds the conversion price, of approximately $153.05 per ordinary share, of the 2030 Notes. The average market price of our ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025 did not exceed the conversion price of the 2030 Notes.
The following table represents the weighted-average ordinary shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented because including them would have an anti-dilutive effect (in millions):

- Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expense related to RSUs, PRSUs, grants under our ESPP and share options was as follows (in millions):
| Three Months EndedMarch 31, | ||

| Income tax benefit from share-based compensation expense | (29.8) | (9.6) |
| Total share-based compensation expense, net of tax | $44.7 | $58.1 |
- Income Taxes
Our income tax expense was $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, related to tax arising on income or losses in Ireland, the U.K., the U.S. and certain other foreign jurisdictions and Pillar Two top-up taxes, offset by deductions on subsidiary equity, patent box and foreign-derived deduction eligible income benefits and tax credits. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included tax arising on the gain on sale of the PRV, partially offset by excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the tax impact of certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements.
Our net deferred tax asset comprises of U.S. federal and state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences and is net of deferred tax liabilities primarily related to acquired intangible assets. We maintain a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. Each reporting period, we evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and adjust our estimates as more information becomes available.
We are required to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. As a result, we have recorded an unrecognized tax benefit for certain tax benefits which we judge may not be sustained upon examination. We file income tax returns in multiple tax jurisdictions, the most significant of which are Ireland, the U.K. and the U.S. (both at the federal level and in various state jurisdictions). For Ireland, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for the years prior to 2021. For the U.K., we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for the years prior to 2016. The U.S. jurisdictions generally have statute of limitations three to four years from the later of the return due date or the date when the return was filed. However, in the U.S. (at the federal level and in most states), carryforwards that were generated in 2021 and earlier may still be adjusted upon examination by the taxing authorities. Certain of our subsidiaries are under examination by the Italian tax authorities for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The Government of Ireland, the jurisdiction in which Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc is incorporated, transposed the Global Minimum Tax Pillar Two rules into domestic legislation as part of the Finance Act. The Finance Act closely follows the EU Minimum Tax Directive and certain OECD Guidance released to date. The Company is within the scope of these rules, which took effect from January 1, 2024. Under the legislation, we are liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between the Pillar Two effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. The rules on how to calculate the Pillar Two effective tax rate are detailed and highly complex and specific adjustments envisaged in the Pillar Two legislation can give rise to different effective tax rates compared to those calculated for accounting purposes. We account for Pillar Two top-up taxes as a current tax when they are incurred. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included an amount for forecasted Pillar Two top-up taxes, as required under the applicable rules. The proportion of our profit before tax which is subject to the top-up tax and our exposure to Pillar Two top-up taxes in future years will depend on factors such as future revenues, costs and foreign currency exchange rates. We will continue to monitor changes in law and guidance in relation to Pillar Two.
