Current report
•In August 2024, the Company resubmitted to the FDA the NDA for apomorphine infusion device (SPN-830) for the continuous treatment of motor fluctuations ("OFF" episodes) in Parkinson’s disease.
Current report
•In May 2024, the Company announced data from the planned interim analysis of its exploratory open-label Phase IIa clinical study of SPN-817 for treatment-resistant seizures. The interim analysis was based on 41 enrolled subjects, of which 19 completed the maintenance period. The Company continues to expect topline results for the full study in the second half of 2024.
Current report
•A Phase IIb randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with treatment resistant focal seizures is expected to start by the end of 2024.
Current report
(1) Includes net product sales of MYOBLOC, XADAGO and Osmolex ER.
Current report
Net product sales were $301.0 million and $268.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increases in net product sales from Qelbree, GOCOVRI and Oxtellar XR partially offset by the decline in net product sales of Trokendi XR due to generic erosion.
Current report
The accrued product returns balance increased from $51.3 million as of June 30, 2023 to $58.5 million as of June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher net product sales and timing of related return activity offset by the $4.1 million adjustment in the estimated provision for product returns related to prior year sales. The majority of this adjustment attributable to Qelbree, reflecting favorable actual returns experience in the second quarter for Qelbree. As a result, the Company changed its estimated provision for product returns based on the most recent experience.
Current report
Royalty, Licensing and Other Revenues
Current report
Cost of goods sold was $17.9 million and $21.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cost of goods sold was $34.2 million and $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in both periods was primarily driven by manufacturing efficiencies of Qelbree and decline in net product sales of Trokendi XR due to generic erosion.

Previous wording
The $2.1 million and 2% decrease in net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to the $18.8 million decline in net product sales of Trokendi XR due to generic erosion, and a decline in net product sales of Oxtellar XR, partially offset by the $19.3 million increase in net product sales from Qelbree.

Income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to an income tax (benefit) of $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The effective tax rate was 49.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to (88.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was higher compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to near break-even pretax losses forecasted for the full year 2023. The annual forecasted earnings represent the Company's best estimate as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, are subject to change and could have a material impact on the effective tax rate in subsequent periods. ASC 740, Income Taxes(ASC 740), requires an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year and apply it to pre-tax income (loss) for each interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year.

The effective tax rate was 24.3% and 24.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 95.1% and 298.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income forecasted for the full year 2024 and the near break-even pre-tax losses forecast in 2023 . The annual forecasted earnings represent the Company's best estimate as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, are subject to change and could have a material impact on the effective tax rate in subsequent periods.

Previous wording
Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.4 million and $49.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities is primarily due to lower net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in prior year and changes in working capital which reflects the timing impacts of cash collections on receivables and settlement of payables.
Current wording
Net cash provided by operating activities was $74.0 million and $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Previous wording
Net cash used in investing activities was $51.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $239.8 million cash provided by investing activities during the same period in 2023. The change was primarily due to higher cash flows from the sales and maturities of marketable securities in 2023.

Previous wording
Net cash provided by financing activities were $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $80.2 million used during the same period in 2023. The change was primarily due to the net proceeds from the draw on the line of credit in the first quarter of 2023 which was used to repay the 2023 Notes in April 2023.
Current wording
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $398.7 million used during the same period in 2023. The change was primarily due to the payment of the total principal amounts and remaining outstanding interest due on the 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes in April 2023.
