| Total research and development expense | $339,535 | $301,286 | $295,526 |
Total Research and Development Expenses – 2025 vs. 2024– The increase in research and development expenses of $38.2 million in 2025 compared to 2024 was due to a $28.0 million increase in our direct expenses and a $10.2 million increase in our indirect expenses. The increase in direct expenses was primarily due to an increase of $17.1 million in tebapivat costs, driven by increased costs associated with clinical trials of tebapivat in patients with SCD and LR MDS and higher process development expenses, and an increase in in-process research and development as a result of the $10.0 million milestone payment associated with the agreement with Alnylam discussed above under Overview. The increase in indirect expenses was primarily due to a$7.0 million increase in compensation and related expensesdue to an increase in workforce related expenses.
Total Research and Development Expenses – 2024 vs 2023– The increase in research and development expenses of $5.8 million in 2024 compared to 2023 was due to a $6.3 million increase in our indirect expenses, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in our direct expenses. The increase in indirect expenses was primarily due to a$6.1 million increase in compensation and related expensesdue to an increase in workforce related expenses. The decrease in direct expenses was due to the $17.5 million up-front payment in 2023 associated with the Alnylam license agreement discussed above under Overview and a decrease of $3.7 million in tebapivat costs due to decreased costs associated with clinical trials of tebapivat in patients with SCD and LR MDS, offset by an $11.4 million increase in PYRUKYND® costs and a $9.3 million increase in AG-236, the in-licensed siRNA TMPRSS6 program for PV, primarily driven by higher process development expenses. The increase in PYRUKYND® costs was primarily due to increased process development expenses and increased costs associated with clinical trials for patients with SCD, partially offset by lower costs associated with the phase 3 clinical trials of PYRUKYND® in patients with thalassemia, ENERGIZE and ENERGIZE-T.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Since our inception, and through March 31, 2021, we financed our operations primarily through proceeds from the sale of our royalty rights, commercial sales of TIBSOVO®, funding received from our collaboration agreements, private placements of our preferred stock, our initial public offering of our common stock and concurrent private placement of common stock to an affiliate of Celgene, and our follow-on public offerings. Following the sale of our oncology business to Servier on March 31, 2021, we have financed and expect to continue to finance our operations primarily through cash on hand, potential royalty payments with respect to the Retained Earn-Out Rights, the actual and potential future sales of PYRUKYND®, the potential future sales of AQVESME™ if successfully launched by us and, potentially, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other nondilutive strategic transactions. In addition, we may pursue opportunistic debt offerings, and equity or equity-linked offerings.
On March 31, 2021, we completed the sale of our oncology business to Servier. The transaction included the sale of our entire oncology business, including our clinical-stage product candidate vorasidenib, for a payment of approximately $1.8 billion in cash at the closing, subject to certain adjustments, and the right to the Vorasidenib Milestone Payment and the Vorasidenib Royalty Rights. The Vorasidenib Milestone Payment and Vorasidenib Royalty Rights are referred to as contingent payments and recognized as income when realizable.
In August 2024, the FDA approved vorasidenib for adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with Grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, following surgery including biopsy, sub-total resection, or gross total resection. In September 2024, we received the Vorasidenib Milestone Payment from Servier and recognized income of $200.0 million within the milestone payment from gain on sale of oncology business line item in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. In May 2024, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Vorasidenib Royalty Rights to Royalty Pharma Investments 2019 ICAV, or Royalty Pharma, for $905.0 million in cash, or the Upfront Payment. The sale was contingent upon FDA approval of vorasidenib and other customary closing conditions.
Upon consummation of the sale in August 2024, Royalty Pharma acquired 100% of the Vorasidenib Royalty Rights payments made by Servier on account of up to $1.0 billion in U.S. net sales for each calendar year. In addition, any such Vorasidenib Royalty Rights payments made by Servier on account of U.S. net sales in each calendar year in excess of $1.0 billion will be split, with Royalty Pharma having the rights to a 12% earn-out on those excess payments and Agios retaining the rights to a 3% earn-out on those excess payments, or the Retained Earn-Out Rights. As a result of the sale, we recognized income of $889.1 million ($905.0 million net of fees of $15.9 million) within the gain on sale of contingent payments line item in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Royalty income related to the Retained Earn-Out Rights, if any, will be recognized in the period when realizable.
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance was $1.2 billion at December 31, 2025. The Retained Earn-Out Rights discussed above are our only committed potential external sources of funds. We cannot predict what success, if any, Servier may have in the United States with respect to the sale of vorasidenib, and consequently, we cannot estimate the amount of payments, if any, we may receive on account of the Retained Earn-Out Rights.
Cash Flows
The following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was due to $5.4 million of proceeds received from stock option exercises and purchases made pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.
Funding Requirements
We expect our expenses to increase as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, seek marketing approvals for, and commercialize our product candidates in our portfolio, including as we continue to commercialize PYRUKYND® and AQVESME™ for their approved indications. If we obtain additional marketing approvals for mitapivat in sickle cell disease or in other indications, or for any of our other product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution.
We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, together with anticipated product revenue and interest income, will provide the financial independence to commercially launch AQVESME™ in the United States, prepare for the potential U.S. commercial launch of mitapivat in SCD, advance our existing clinical programs, and opportunistically expand our pipeline through both internally and externally discovered assets. Our expectations regarding our long-term funding requirements are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may need additional capital resources to fund our operating plans and capital expenditure requirements.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
the amount and timing of future revenue received from commercial sales of PYRUKYND®, AQVESME™ or any of our other product candidates for which we may receive marketing approval;
the amount of payments, if any, we may receive on account of the Retained Earn-Out Rights;
the costs and timing of our ongoing and future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution for PYRUKYND® and AQVESME™ in the approved jurisdictions and indications and for any product candidate for which we may receive approval;
the scope, progress, results and costs of preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our product candidates;
the costs associated with in-licensing or acquiring assets for pipeline growth, including the amount and timing of future milestone and royalty payments potentially payable to Alnylam pursuant to the license agreement;
the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;
our ability to successfully execute on our strategic plans;
operational delays due to public health epidemics; and
operational delays, disruptions and/or increased costs associated with global economic and political developments.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs primarily through cash on hand, potential royalty payments with respect to the Retained Earn-Out Rights, the actual and potential future sales of PYRUKYND®, the potential future sales of AQVESME™ if successfully launched by us and, potentially, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other nondilutive strategic transactions. In addition, we may pursue opportunistic debt offerings, and equity or equity-linked offerings. We do not have any committed external source of funds other than the Retained Earn-Out Rights. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, selling or licensing our assets, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed or on attractive terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts, or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules.

All leases, as amended, expire on February 29, 2028. At the end of the initial lease period, we have the option to extend the leases at all facilities for two consecutive five-year periods at the fair market rent at the time of the extension.
(2) Relates to payment obligations under a packaging and supply agreement for drug product.
(3) Relates to payment obligations under a development and manufacturing services agreement for drug product. Arrangement is for a remaining contractual term of four years, however, the total funds can be allocated in any manner to meet the agreement terms.
We also enter into agreements in the normal course of business with CROs for clinical trials and contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, for supply manufacturing, and with vendors for preclinical research studies and other services and products for operating purposes. These contractual obligations are cancelable at any time by us, generally upon prior written notice to the vendor, and are thus not included in the contractual obligations table.
In July 2023, we entered into a license agreement with Alnylam as discussed above under Overview and under Note 1, Nature of Business, to our consolidated financial statements. Under the license agreement, we may be required to pay up to an additional $120.0 million in potential development and regulatory milestones, in addition to sales milestones as well as tiered royalties on annual net sales, if any, of licensed products, which may be subject to specified reductions and offsets. Such payment obligations are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the timing and likelihood of such potential obligations are not known.
