Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc is a global biopharmaceutical company whose purpose is to innovate to transform the lives of patients and their families. We are dedicated to developing life-changing medicines for people with rare disease - often with limited or no therapeutic options. We have a diverse portfolio of medicines, including leading therapies addressing epilepsies, cancers and sleep disorders. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.
- Asset Acquisitions, Collaborations and Disposition
Asset Acquisition
In September 2026, we completed the acquisition of Actio, a privately-held company for an upfront payment of $820.0 million, net of cash acquired, with a potential for an additional payment of up to $500.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, for a total potential consideration of $1.3 billion. The acquisition was funded with existing cash and cash equivalents. As a result of the acquisition, we added ABS-1230 (JZP6979), a novel, first-in-class small molecule precision therapy KCNT1 ion channel inhibitor, to our clinical pipeline and Actio became our wholly owned subsidiary.
As part of the transaction, Actio spun out a new privately-held entity to which certain non-ABS-1230 (JZP6979) programs of Actio were transferred. The new, independent private company is funded by existing investors, with us receiving a minority stake and certain related rights.
The Actio Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because it did not meet the definition of a business.
The total consideration paid and the allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed was (in millions):
| Consideration | |
|---|---|
| Upfront payment | $820.0 |
| Cash acquired | 19.9 |
| Total cash consideration paid to Actio | 839.9 |
| Transaction costs | 10.8 |
| Total consideration | $850.7 |
| Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed | |
| In-process research and development | $754.2 |
| Deferred tax asset | 57.6 |
| Equity investment | 24.1 |
| Cash | 19.9 |
| Accrued liabilities | (6.6) |
| Other assets and liabilities | 1.5 |
| Total net assets acquired | $850.7 |
The value attributed to IPR&D related to ABS-1230 (JZP6979) and was expensed as it was determined to have no alternative future use at the time of the acquisition.
Collaboration and License Agreement
In June 2026, we entered into a preclinical research collaboration and license agreement with AbCellera, granting us rights to opt into exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and commercialize two initial next-generation T-cell engaging multispecific antibody programs. In addition, under the agreement we have a commitment to initiate a third discovery program within 12 months and may mutually agree to initiate up totwo additional discovery programs.
Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $56.0 million for the firsttwo research programs, which was recorded as acquired IPR&D expense in our consolidated statements of income (loss) in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. An additional $28.0 million is due upon initiation of the third program. Should we exercise our option for development, AbCellera is eligible to receive up to $792.0 million per program in option fees, development, regulatory, and commercial sales milestone payments along with tiered royalties on net sales ranging from mid-single-digits to low-double-digits.
Asset Purchase Agreement
In May 2026, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Werewolf, under which we acquired all remaining rights to JZP898, a differentiated, conditionally-activated IFNα INDUKINE™ molecule. At closing, the original license and collaboration agreement entered into with Werewolf in May 2022 was terminated.
Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $21.0 million, which was recorded as acquired IPR&D expense in our consolidated statements of income (loss) in the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Werewolf is eligible to receive a contingent milestone payment of $2.0 million upon consent to the partial assignment of a license agreement relating to the JZP898 program.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2026, representing the total cash consideration received of $200.0 million, less the post-tax proceeds paid to the former stockholders of Oncoceutics, Inc.

| 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$23.3 million and $72.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $18.6 million and$65.3 millioninthe three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
- Fair Value Measurement
The following table summarizes, by major security type, our available-for-sale securities and derivative contracts as of September 30, 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):

| Interest rate contracts | — | — | — | — | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Totals | $— | $7.1 | $7.1 | $— | $4.2 | $4.2 |
As of September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $15.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The carrying amount, which is recorded within other non-current assets, is based on the latest observable transaction price.
As of September 30, 2026, the estimated fair values of the 2030 Notes, 2032 Notes, Secured Notes, and the Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans were $1.6 billion, $1.2 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 September 30, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, the notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts for which hedge accounting was not applied were $655.2 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 EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||

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. The following tables summarize the potential effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets of offsetting our interest rate and foreign exchange forward contracts subject to such provisions (in millions):

- Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following (in millions):
| September 30,2026 | December 31,2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | $28.5 | $22.0 |
| Work in process | 298.7 | 253.4 |
| Finished goods | 126.8 | 141.6 |
| Total inventories | $454.0 | $417.0 |
As of December 31, 2025, inventories included $54.1 million related to the purchase accounting inventory fair value step-up on inventory acquired as part of our GW Acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, this fair value step-up was fully recognized in cost of product sales, and no related balance remained in inventory as of September 30, 2026.
- 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 | (26.5) |
| Balance at September 30, 2026 | $1,802.8 |
The gross carrying amounts and net book values of our intangible assets were as follows (in millions):
| September 30, 2026 · December 31, 2025 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RemainingWeighted-Average UsefulLife(In years) | GrossCarryingAmount | AccumulatedAmortization | Net BookValue | GrossCarryingAmount | AccumulatedAmortization | Net BookValue | |
| Acquired developed technologies | 6.1 | $8,399.5 | $(4,225.8) | $4,173.7 | $8,194.6 | $(3,765.1) | $4,429.5 |

The increase in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets as of September 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, primarily relates to the intangible asset arising from the $250.0 million milestone payment triggered upon FDA approval of Ziihera in GEA, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily driven by 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 September 30, 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) | $183.8 |
| 2027 | 731.7 |
| 2028 | 706.9 |

Credit Agreement
On May 5, 2021, Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc, Jazz Lux, and certain of our other subsidiaries, as borrowers, or, collectively with Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc and Jazz Lux, the “Borrowers”, entered into the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement initially provided for (i) the Dollar Term Loan, which was drawn by Jazz Lux on the closing date thereof in U.S. dollars (ii) the Euro Term Loan, which was drawn by Jazz Lux on the closing date thereof in Euros and (iii) the Initial Revolving Credit Facility.
The Borrowers have entered into amendments to reprice the Term Loans in January 2024 (Amendment No. 1), July 2024 (Amendment No. 2) and in September 2026 (Amendment No. 4) pursuant to which the outstanding Term Loans were converted into, and/or repaid with the proceeds, of a new tranche of dollar term loans. Most recently in September 2026, the Borrowers entered into an Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the then outstanding Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans were converted into, and/or repaid with the proceeds of Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans. In addition, in November 2024, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, to increase the Initial Revolving Credit Facility from $500.0 million to $885.0 million and extend the maturity date thereof from May 5, 2026 to November 26, 2029.
The Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans are a separate class of term loans under the Amended Credit Agreement, with substantially the same material terms (including with respect to prepayment, security, covenants and events of default) as the previously outstanding Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans incurred on July 19, 2024, the Tranche B-1 Dollar Term Loans incurred on January 19, 2024, and the initial Dollar Term Loan incurred on May 5, 2021, with the interest rate amended as described below. The principal amount of Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Amendment No. 4 and the outstanding principal amount of Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans immediately following the Amendment No.4, each totaled $1.9 billion.
The Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) Term SOFR or (b) the prime lending rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans is 1.75% (in the case of Term SOFR borrowings) and 0.75% (in the case of borrowings at the prime lending rate), a decrease of 50 basis points from the applicable margin on the Tranche B-2 Dollar Term Loans. The Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans are subject to a Term SOFR floor of 0.50%. As of September 30, 2026, the interest rate and effective interest rate on the Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans were 5.65% and 5.94%, respectively.
The Tranche B-3 Dollar Term Loans will amortize in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance payable on May 5, 2033.
2032 Notes
In August 2026, Jazz Investments, or the Issuer, a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc., completed a private offering of $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes. The 2032 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 2032 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 2032 Notes is reflected net of issuance costs of $24.1 million, which will be amortized over the term of the 2032 Notes. The effective interest rate of the 2032 Notes is 2.21%. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized interest expense of $2.3 million, of which $2.0 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $0.3 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2027, at a rate of 1.875% per year. In certain circumstances, we may be required to pay additional amounts as a result of any applicable tax withholding or deductions required in respect of payments on the 2032 Notes. The 2032 Notes mature on September 15, 2032, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased.
The holders of the 2032 Notes have the ability to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2032 Notes for cash at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date in the event we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture related to the 2032 Notes), such as specified change of control transactions, our liquidation or dissolution or the delisting of our ordinary shares from any of The New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Global Select Market or The Nasdaq Capital Market (or any of their respective successors).
Additionally, the terms and covenants in the indenture related to the 2032 Notes include certain events of default after which the 2032 Notes may be due and payable immediately.
Prior to September 15, 2032, we may redeem the 2032 Notes, in whole but not in part, in connection with certain tax-related events. We also may redeem the 2032 Notes on or after September 20, 2029, in whole or in part (subject to the partial redemption limitation described below and in the indenture related to the 2032 Notes), if the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. Subject to the conditions described in the indenture related to the 2032 Notes, we may also redeem all, but not less than all, of the 2032 Notes at our option at any time if the principal amount of the 2032 Notes outstanding at such time is less than $100.0 million. The redemption price for any redemption will be 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The exchange rate for the 2032 Notes is initially 2.8150 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2032 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $355.24 per ordinary share. Upon exchange of the 2032 Notes, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be exchanged and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, ordinary shares or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our exchange obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes being exchanged. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain make-whole fundamental changes (as defined in the indenture related to the 2032 Notes) that occur prior to the maturity date or upon our issuance of a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the exchange rate for a holder who elects to exchange its 2032 Notes in connection with that make-whole fundamental change or exchange its 2032 Notes called (or deemed called, in the case of an optional redemption) for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be. Prior to June 15, 2032, the 2032 Notes will be exchangeable only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
2030 Notes
The 2030 Notes were issued by Jazz Investments. The 2030 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 2030 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 September 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized interest expense of $8.7 million, of which $7.8 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $0.9 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized interest expense of $25.7 million, of which $23.4 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $2.3 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.
Prior to June 15, 2030, the 2030 Notes will be exchangeable only upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including a condition tied to our share price that is measured as of the end of each quarter, and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the closing price of our ordinary shares exceeded 130% of the conversion price (approximately $153.05) of the 2030 Notes for more than 20 trading days of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. As a result, the share price condition was met and the 2030 Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holders during the quarter ended December 31, 2026. Accordingly, the carrying value of the 2030 Notes has been included in current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026. As of the date of this filing, none of the 2030 Notes have been exchanged by the holders.
2026 Notes
On June 15, 2026, the maturity date for the 2026 Notes, we repaid the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and issued 1,890,193 ordinary shares representing the conversion premium. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized interest expense of $5.7 million, of which $5.0 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $0.7 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized interest expense of $10.3 million, of which $9.2 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $1.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized interest expense of $16.8 million, of which $15.0 million related to the contractual coupon rate and $1.8 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

- 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 September 30, 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.
On July 28, 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. In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of Orphan Drug Exclusivity for Xywav through July 21, 2027. In October 2021, Lupin filed an answer to the ANDA complaint and asserted counterclaims 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. In June 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. In February 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey consolidated the new lawsuit with thetwo suits we previously filed 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.
On March 21, 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.
In May 2023, Teva filed an answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims that the patents are invalid or not enforceable, and that its product, if approved, will not infringe our patents.
In December 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.
On August 13, 2025, we filed a patent infringement suit against Granules in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. 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, and in May 2026, 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 one or more patents listed in the Orange Book for Zepzelca on the date of the receipt of the notice. The listed patents relate to the drug substance, drug product and approved use of Zepzelca. We are the exclusive licensee to the asserted Zepzelca patents 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 the first patent infringement suit against certain of 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. As a result of this lawsuit FDA approval of each Zepzelca ANDA Filer's ANDA became subject to a statutory stay of approval under the Hatch-Waxman Act of up to seven and a half years from the date of initial FDA approval of Zepzelca.
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.
In March 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. In November 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 the date of the receipt of the notice. On September 4, 2025, we and PharmaMar filed a second lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against certain 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. In November 2025, we and PharmaMar amended the complaint to asserttwo additional patents listed in the Orange Book for Zepzelca on the date of the amended complaint against the defendants. The asserted patents 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 asserted patents. In March 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey consolidated the first and second actions for all purposes.
In May 2026, we received notice from Qilu that it had filed an ANDA for a generic version of Zepzelca with a paragraph IV certification to one or more of the patents listed in the Orange Book for Zepzelca on the date of the receipt of the notice. On June 26, 2026, we and PharmaMar filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that, by filing its ANDA, Qilu infringed certain patents listed in the Orange Book for Zepzelca. The asserted patents relate to a method of treatment using Zepzelca. The suit seeks an order that the effective date of FDA approval for Qilu’s ANDA shall be no earlier than the expiration of the asserted patents. As a result of this lawsuit, FDA approval of Qilu's ANDA became subject to a statutory stay of up to 30 months under the Hatch-Waxman Act. No trial date has been set in any of the Zepzelca patent litigation matters.
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 with 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, FDA approval of Almaject's ANDA became subject to a statutory stay of up to 30 months under the Hatch-Waxman Act.
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. On October 2, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey issued a written opinion and order resolving the parties' claim construction disputes. No trial date has been set in any of the Defitelio patent litigation.
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, FDA approval of Tris Pharma's Section 505(b)(2) NDA became subject to a statutory stay of up to 30 months under the Hatch-Waxman Act. In April 2026, Tris Pharma filed motions to dismiss the complaints. In July 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey denied the motions and subsequently, Tris Pharma filed answers and counterclaims alleging that the asserted patents are invalid and not infringed. No trial date has been set in the Tris Pharma patent litigation.
Other Litigation
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. In July 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam whistleblower lawsuit underlying the USAO’s subpoena. 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. 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. 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 in September 2025, by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In May 2026, the plaintiff amended its complaint. In July 2026, we moved to dismiss the amended complaint with prejudice. In August 2026, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed this lawsuit without prejudice.
Praxis Trade Secret and Breach of Contract Litigation
On October 14, 2025, Praxis filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Actio and David B. Goldstein, Ph.D., Actio's co-founder and former CEO. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Dr. Goldstein breached a Master Advisory Agreement with Praxis and that Actio and Dr. Goldstein misappropriated Praxis' trade secrets relating to certain KCNT1 inhibitor compounds. Praxis seeks declaratory relief, injunctive relief, assignment of intellectual property allegedly derived from Praxis’ confidential and trade secret information, unspecified compensatory and exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and an accounting and disgorgement of defendants’ alleged unjust enrichment.
On December 5, 2025, defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaint, which the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware denied on September 3, 2026. On September 24, 2026, we filed our answer to the complaint and affirmative defenses. Trial in this matter is scheduled to begin July 31, 2028. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we spent a total of $225.0 million to repurchase 0.9 million of our ordinary shares under the Repurchase Program at a purchase price, including commissions, of $249.29 per share. The repurchases during the three months ended September 30, 2026, were effected in privately negotiated transactions with or through one of the initial purchasers of the 2032 Notes concurrently with the pricing of the offering of the 2032 Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no shares were repurchased. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we spent a total of $125.0 million to repurchase 1.1 million of our ordinary shares under the Repurchase Program at a purchase price, including commissions, of $109.52 per share. As of September 30, 2026, we had fully utilized the amount authorized for repurchases under the Repurchase Program.
In October 2026, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program with no expiration date pursuant to which we may repurchase our ordinary shares for up to an aggregate purchase price of $500.0 million, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. The timing and amount of repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount and timing of corporate development transactions, repayment of debt, restrictions under our credit agreement, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and the price of our ordinary shares.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accumulated other comprehensive loss was $646.6 million and $568.6 million, respectively, and primarily related to cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, other comprehensive income (loss) primarily reflected the negative impact of 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 EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net income (loss) | $(483.4) | $251.4 | $2.5 | $(559.6) |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted-average ordinary shares used in per share calculations - basic | 64.7 | 60.7 | 63.3 | 61.0 |
| Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive and purchase plans | — | 0.9 | 2.8 | — |
| Dilutive effect of the 2030 Notes and the 2026 Notes | — | — | 2.5 | — |
| Weighted-average ordinary shares used in per share calculations - diluted | 64.7 | 61.6 | 68.6 | 61.0 |
| Net income (loss) per ordinary share: | ||||
| Basic | $(7.48) | $4.14 | $0.04 | $(9.18) |
| Diluted | $(7.48) | $4.08 | $0.04 | $(9.18) |
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.
On June 15, 2026, the maturity date of the 2026 Notes, we repaid $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount in cash and issued 1,890,193 ordinary shares representing the conversion premium. For the period the 2026 Notes were outstanding, the dilutive effect of the 2026 Notes was included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, when the average market price of our ordinary shares in that period exceeded the conversion price, of approximately $155.81 per ordinary share. The average market price of our ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, did not exceed the conversion price of the 2026 Notes.
For the 2030 Notes and the 2032 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 and of approximately $355.24 per ordinary share, of the 2032 Notes. The average market price of our ordinary shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 did not exceed the conversion price of the 2030 Notes.

- Income Taxes
Our income tax expense was $24.5 million and $48.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $242.4 million and $277.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, relating 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 benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance against certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets acquired through the Chimerix Acquisition and the income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 also included the tax impact of certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 included tax arising on the gain on sale of the PRV.
Our net deferred tax asset comprises 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 to 2025. Certain of our subsidiaries are under examination by the U.K. tax authorities for the year ended December 31, 2023. Certain of our subsidiaries are under examination by the U.S. tax authorities for the year ended December 31, 2023.
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 top-up taxes 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.
