Current report
In-process research and development expense
Current report
In July 2026, we recognized $113.1 million of in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense, consisting of upfront consideration and direct transaction costs related to the acquisition of the civorebrutinib IPR&D intangible asset from Everest.
Current report
Income Taxes
Current report
The following table provides information regarding income taxes (in thousands):
Current report
The Company’s income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which may fluctuate based on changes in forecasted annual pretax income or loss. The change from income tax expense in the prior-year periods to an income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily reflects changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate resulting from differences in projected annual operating results.
Current report
The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards for which a valuation allowance had previously been recognized. In addition, the Company expects an increase in state taxes related to jurisdictions where the Company expects to generate current taxable income with limited or no remaining net operating loss carryforwards. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets due to its history of cumulative losses.
Current report
Everest License Agreement
Current report
In 2026, we entered the Everest Agreement, pursuant to which we obtained an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize civorebrutinib, an investigational oral, covalent reversible BTK inhibitor, and products containing civorebrutinib for any and all prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic uses and treatment of diseases and disorders in all countries outside of Greater China and certain countries in East and Southeast Asia (the "Territory"). The agreement became effective in July 2026 following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Current report
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid Everest an upfront payment of $112.5 million in July 2026. Pursuant to the agreement, Everest is eligible to receive up to $1.0 billion in additional development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties ranging from high single-digit to double-digit percentages based on net sales of licensed products in the Territory. The Everest Agreement will remain in effect, unless terminated earlier, until the expiration of the royalty term for the licensed products in the Territory.

Previous wording
In April 2024, we and our partner CSL Vifor announced that the European Commission had granted conditional marketing authorization (“CMA”) for FILSPARI (sparsentan) for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g), and in April 2025, we and CSL Vifor announced that the European Commission had converted the CMA into a standard marketing authorization (“MA”) for FILSPARI for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g). The MA was granted for all member states of the European Union, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. As a result of the standard MA approval, we received a regulatory milestone payment of $17.5 million in May 2025 under the terms of the License Agreement. FILSPARI became commercially available in Europe under the CMA in August 2024, with an initial launch in Germany and Austria. In October 2024, we and CSL Vifor announced that Swissmedic has granted temporary marketing authorization for FILSPARI for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g). In April 2025, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") in the UK converted its conditional approval of FILSPARI in IgAN to standard approval. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we received a $40.0 million market access milestone payment from CSL Vifor.

Previous wording
The decrease in license and collaboration revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to recognition of a $17.5 million regulatory milestone associated with the CSL Vifor License Agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2025, offset by recognition of a $5.0 million regulatory milestone associated with the Chugai License Agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in license and collaboration revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to recognition of a $17.5 million regulatory milestone associated with the CSL Vifor License Agreement and the sale of $3.8 million in active pharmaceutical ingredients ("API") during the three months ended June 30, 2025, offset by recognition of a $5.0 million regulatory milestone associated with the Chugai License Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Current wording
The decrease in license and collaboration revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to recognition of a $40.0 million market access milestone associated with the CSL Vifor License Agreement and license revenue of $9.3 million recognized upon the relinquishment of the Buyout Right in the Chugai License Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in license and collaboration revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to recognition of $57.5 million in milestones associated with the CSL Vifor License Agreement, license revenue of $9.3 million recognized upon the relinquishment of the Buyout Right in the Chugai License Agreement and the sale of $3.8 million in active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, offset by recognition of a $5.0 million regulatory milestone associated with the Chugai License Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Previous wording
Prior to the February 2023 FDA accelerated approval of FILSPARI (sparsentan) in IgAN, we expensed the production of APIs purchased to support the commercial launch of FILSPARI, in research and development expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 sales of FILSPARI primarily consisted of zero-cost inventories, and therefore cost of goods sold did not increase proportionally to the increase in product sales. We began capitalizing inventory costs associated with FILSPARI following the February 2023 accelerated approval.

Previous wording
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, our cost of goods sold - license and collaboration decreased by $3.4 million, due to the sale of API in 2025.
Current wording

Previous wording
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025, our research and development expenses increased by $10.9 million and $21.1 million, respectively. External service provider costs increased by $5.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025, largely driven by an increase in costs associated with pegtibatinase due to restarting enrollment activities for the HARMONY Study in 2026, as well as additional manufacturing costs, offset by a decrease in costs associated with the development of sparsentan as our Phase 3 programs advanced towards completion. The increase in internal personnel costs of $5.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025, is due to an increase in headcount.
Current wording
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025, our research and development expenses increased by $18.4 million and $39.5 million, respectively. External service provider costs increased by $11.6 million and $22.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025, primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with pegtibatinase due to restarting enrollment activities for the HARMONY Study in 2026, as well as additional manufacturing costs, offset by a decrease in costs associated with the development of sparsentan as our Phase 3 programs advanced towards completion. The increase in internal personnel costs of $6.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025, is primarily due to an increase in headcount to support additional pipeline development.
Previous wording
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $33.5 million and $53.4 million, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in commercial investments to support FILSPARI in IgAN and commercial investments for the launch of FSGS, including an expansion of our field force to support both indications.
Current wording
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $27.4 million and $80.7 million, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in commercial investments to support FILSPARI in IgAN and the ongoing launch of FSGS, including an expansion of our field force to support both indications.
Previous wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025, our royalty expense decreased by $6.6 million due to the Thiola intangible asset reaching the end of its useful life on March 31, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2025, royalty expense increased by $5.8 million, primarily due to elevated amortization of the Thiola intangible asset in the first quarter of 2026 as it reached the end of its useful life on March 31, 2026.
Current wording
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025, our royalty expense decreased by $7.4 million due to the Thiola intangible asset reaching the end of its estimated useful life on March 31, 2026.

Previous wording
The change in our total other (expense) income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily due to the $40.0 million inducement expense related to the partial repurchase of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (“2029 Notes”).
Current wording
The change in our total other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 2025 primarily reflects a $40.0 million inducement expense related to the partial repurchase of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (“2029 Notes”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This expense was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense following the September 2025 maturity of our 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025, the partial repurchase of the 2029 Notes and issuance of 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (“2032 Notes”) at a lower interest rate.
Previous wording
We believe that our available cash and short-term investments as of the date of this filing, together with anticipated cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated level of operations beyond the next 12 months from the date of this filing. We expect that our operating results will vary from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year depending upon various factors including revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses, particularly with respect to our clinical and preclinical development activities. Our ability to fund our operations in subsequent years will depend upon certain factors which are beyond our control and may require us to obtain additional debt or equity capital or refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the 2029 Notes and 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (“2032 Notes”), on or before maturity. Though we generate revenues from product sales, we may incur significant operating losses over the next several years. Our ability to achieve profitable operations in the future will depend in large part upon completing development of products in our pipeline, obtaining regulatory approvals for these products and bringing these products to market, along with potential in-licensing of additional products approved by the FDA and manufacturing and selling these products.
