Current report
•Bysanti™ is a new chemical entity, which was initially identified as an active metabolite of iloperidone. We discovered that milsaperidone, when administered orally, quickly interconverts to iloperidone. In clinical studies, milsaperidone and iloperidone have been shown to be bioequivalent at both low and high doses, administered both in single and multiple dose studies. The results of these clinical studies will be presented in late May, at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology annual meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Current report
PONVORY® net product sales decreased by $1.2 million, or 18%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net product sales was attributable to a decrease in volume. We initiated the commercial launch of PONVORY® in RMS in the third quarter of 2024. Our PONVORY® net product sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024 included approximately $3.0 million of variable consideration that is subject to dispute but that we believe is not probable of significant revenue reversal.

As a result of the unfavorable events and subsequent developments in 2022 and 2023 related to the HETLIOZ® patent litigation (see Note 14, Legal Matters, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report)) we performed impairment reviews for our HETLIOZ® asset group in those years and determined, based upon our review of undiscounted cash flows, that the carrying value of our HETLIOZ® asset group, inclusive of the intangible asset, is recoverable. Accordingly, we have not recorded an intangible asset impairment charge in any period. The litigation and subsequent developments do not affect the sale of HETLIOZ® in the E.U. and there is no generic litigation pending outside of the U.S. with respect to HETLIOZ®. Furthermore, the litigation and subsequent events do not relate to the HETLIOZ LQ® oral suspension formulation. Our expected cash flows continue to support our estimated useful economic life of the intangible asset through 2035.

For HETLIOZ®, the FDA has approved ANDAs for Teva and Apotex, both of which have since launched their generic versions of HETLIOZ® at risk in the U.S. In December 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Delaware District Court) ruled in favor of Teva and Apotex in our patent litigation relating to their filing of ANDAs for generic versions of HETLIOZ® in the U.S. The Federal Circuit affirmed this ruling, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied our petition for a writ of certiorari in April 2024. The FDA has also approved the ANDA for MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and MSN Laboratories Private Limited (MSN). The license agreement that we entered into when we settled our patent litigation with MSN (MSN/Impax License Agreement) grants MSN and Impax Laboratories LLC (Impax) a non-exclusive license to manufacture and commercialize MSN’s generic version of HETLIOZ® in the U.S. effective as of March 13, 2035, unless prior to that date we obtain pediatric exclusivity for HETLIOZ®, in which case the license will be effective as of July 27, 2035, or earlier under certain limited circumstances. In January 2023, MSN and its commercial partner, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., informed us of their belief that such circumstances had occurred and have since launched their generic version. In April 2024, we filed litigation against MSN, Impax, and Amneal alleging fraudulent inducement of the license agreement. See Note 14, Legal Matters, to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report. HETLIOZ® could face even more competition from other generic companies in the U.S. in the near term in light of the patent litigation rulings against us. In addition, sales of generic versions of HETLIOZ® have resulted in and could continue to result in a reduction in the demand for HETLIOZ® and/or the price at which we can sell it and/or create volatility in net product sales in future periods, which could have a material impact on our revenues and results of operations.

On September 18, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declined to approve Vanda’s New Drug Application (NDA) of tradipitant for the treatment of symptoms in gastroparesis, providing Vanda with a Complete Response Letter (CRL). Vanda will continue to pursue the marketing authorization for tradipitant and will continue to support the expanded access program that is currently serving several dozen patients with gastroparesis.

The increase in research and development expenses was associated an increase in expenses associated with our PONVORY® and CFTR development programs, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with our Fanapt®, tradipitant and other development programs, which include expenses incurred on product discovery such as ASO.
Previous report
Intangible asset amortization. Intangible asset amortization was $5.5 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense increased in 2024 due to amortization on the intangible asset from the rights to PONVORY® in the U.S. and Canada which were acquired in December 2023.

The transaction price is determined based upon the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring product to the customer. Our product sales are recorded net of applicable product revenue allowances for which reserves are established and include discounts, rebates, chargebacks, service fees, co-pay assistance and product returns that are applicable for various government and commercial payors. Where appropriate, our estimates of variable consideration included in the transaction price consider a range of possible outcomes. Allowances for rebates, chargebacks and co-pay assistance are based upon the insurance benefits of the end customer, which are estimated using historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which we have validated the insurance benefits. Variable consideration may be constrained and is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we adjust our estimate in the period identified, which would affect net product sales in the period such variances become known. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we constrained the variable consideration for HETLIOZ® net product sales. The constrained revenue relates to the uncertainties of payor utilization, patient demand and chargeback and rebate amounts, including Medicaid, and other reserves related to transactions that resulted in elevated levels of inventory at specialty pharmacy customers.

Reserves for variable consideration are classified as product revenue allowances on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the exception of prompt-pay discounts, which are classified as reductions of accounts receivable. The reserve for product returns for which the product may not be returned for a period of greater than one year from the balance sheet date is included as a component of other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Uncertainties related to variable consideration are generally resolved in the quarter subsequent to period end, with the exception of Medicaid rebates, which are dependent upon the timing of when states submit reimbursement claims, Medicare inflationary rebates, and product returns that are resolved during the product expiry period specified in the customer contract. Due to transactions that resulted in increased inventory stocking at specialty pharmacy customers of HETLIOZ® in 2024 and 2023, the time it takes to resolve these uncertainties is expected to be longer than we have historically experienced. We currently record sales allowances for the following:

Medicare Part D coverage gap: The Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit requires manufacturers to fund approximately 70% of the Medicare Part D insurance coverage gap for prescription drugs sold to eligible patients for applicable drugs. We account for the Medicare Part D coverage gap using a point of sale model. Estimates for expected Medicare Part D coverage gap are based in part on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions when we have validated the insurance benefits. Beginning January 1, 2025, the Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program will be replaced with a new discounting program under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The implementation of the new discounting program is expected to result in higher discounts for our Medicare payor segment relative to the current Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit program.

Under the redesigned Medicare Part D program, applicable drugs dispensed to applicable beneficiaries will be subject to manufacturer discounts of 10% during the initial coverage phase and 20% during the catastrophic coverage phase. Under the Medicare Part D benefit redesign, we are a specified manufacturer whose applicable drugs for applicable beneficiaries who are Low Income Subsidy eligible under section 1860D-14(a) of the Social Security Act will be subject to lower applicable discounts during the phase-in period.

Clinical trials are inherently complex, often involve multiple service providers and can include payments made to investigator physicians at study sites. Because billing for services often lags delivery of service by a substantial amount of time, we often are required to estimate a significant portion of our accrued clinical expenses. Our assessments include, but are not limited to: (i) an evaluation by the project manager of the work that has been completed during the period, (ii) measurement of progress prepared internally and/or provided by the third-party service provider, (iii) analyses of data that justify the progress, and (iv) management’s judgment. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have begun to be incurred or we under- or over-estimate the level of services performed or the costs of such services, our reported expenses for such period would be too low or too high.

Income taxes. We assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets each quarter through the review of all available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a tax valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The analysis is highly dependent upon historical and projected taxable income. Since 2018, we have generated annual pretax income in the U.S. Projected taxable income includes significant assumptions related to revenue, commercial expenses and research and development activities, which could be affected by the HETLIOZ® generic competition, the commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in relapsing forms of MS, and our ability to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA for products or new indications in development, among other factors. Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a tax valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The analysis is highly dependent upon historical and projected pretax income. In 2024, we generated our first full year pretax loss since 2017, largely due to expenditures on the commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar I disorder and PONVORY® in RMS. Projected taxable income includes significant assumptions related to revenue, which could be affected by the success of the commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar I disorder and PONVORY® in RMS and HETLIOZ® generic competition, commercial and research and development activities, and our ability to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA for products or new indications in development, among other factors. Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. As of March 31, 2025, after considering all available positive and negative evidence, we concluded, consistent with prior periods, that it was more likely than not that substantially all of our deferred tax assets in the U.S. are realizable in future periods. We maintain a valuation allowance against certain state net deferred tax assets. If our results are not in line with our projections or if our projections change, the conclusion about the appropriateness of the valuation allowance could change in a future period. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in a non-cash income tax expense during the period of change. Any such adjustment could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Fanapt® net product sales increased by $2.6 million, or 12%, to $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase to net product sales was attributable to an increase in price net of deductions and volume. We initiated the commercial launch of Fanapt® for bipolar I disorder in adults in the third quarter of 2024.
Current wording
Fanapt® net product sales increased by $3.0 million, or 14%, to $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase to net product sales was attributable to an increase in volume. We initiated the commercial launch of Fanapt® for bipolar I disorder in adults in the third quarter of 2024.

HETLIOZ® net product sales increased by $0.4 million, or 2%, to $17.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase to net product sales was attributable to an increase in volume, partially offset by a decrease in price net of deductions, including the impact of changes in constrained revenue. Our HETLIOZ® net product sales as reported for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflected higher unit sales as compared to recent prior periods. The higher unit sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted in a significant increase of inventory stocking at specialty pharmacy customers at March 31, 2023. During the remainder of 2023, although there was continued destocking at specialty pharmacy customers, inventory levels remained elevated relative to inventory levels prior to the entrance of generic competition and remained elevated at March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Going forward, HETLIOZ® net product sales may reflect lower unit sales as a result of reduction of the elevated inventory levels at specialty pharmacy customers or may be variable depending upon when specialty pharmacy customers need to purchase again. Further, HETLIOZ® net product sales will likely decline in future periods, potentially significantly, related to continued generic competition in the U.S. We constrained HETLIOZ® net product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 to an amount not probable of significant revenue reversal. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 related to changes in estimates on revenue constrained during the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. HETLIOZ® net product sales could experience variability in future periods as the remaining uncertainties associated with variable consideration related to inventory stocking by specialty pharmacy customers are resolved.
Current wording
HETLIOZ® net product sales increased by $0.8 million, or 4%, to $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase to net product sales was attributable to an increase in price net of deductions, including the impact of changes in constrained revenue, partially offset by a decrease in volume. Our HETLIOZ® net product sales as reported for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflected higher unit sales as compared to recent prior periods. The higher unit sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted in a significant increase of inventory stocking at specialty pharmacy customers at March 31, 2023. During the remainder of 2023, although there was continued destocking at specialty pharmacy customers, inventory levels remained elevated relative to inventory levels prior to the entrance of generic competition and remained elevated throughout 2024 and 2025. Going forward, HETLIOZ® net product sales may reflect lower unit sales as a result of the reduction of elevated levels at specialty pharmacy customers or may be variable depending on when specialty pharmacy customers need to purchase again. Further, HETLIOZ® net product sales may decline in future periods, potentially significantly, related to continued generic competition in the U.S. We constrained HETLIOZ® net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 to an amount not probable of significant revenue reversal. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to changes in estimates on revenue constrained during prior periods was $1.0 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to changes in estimates on revenue constrained during prior periods was not material. HETLIOZ® net product sales could experience variability in future periods as the remaining uncertainties associated with variable consideration related to inventory stocking by specialty pharmacy customers are resolved.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $0.5 million, or 17%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold includes third-party manufacturing costs of product sold, third-party royalty costs and distribution and other costs. Third-party royalty costs were 6% of Fanapt® net product sales and 5% of HETLIOZ® net product sales in Germany. Third-party royalty costs on HETLIOZ® net product sales in the U.S. decreased from 10% to 5% in December 2022 and ended in April 2024. We evaluate the risk of excess inventory and product expiry by evaluating current and future product demand relative to product shelf life and build demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance, patient usage, and generic competition. Our inventory balance included $2.1 million and $3.0 million of Fanapt® product and $7.3 million and $7.2 million of HETLIOZ® product as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Current wording
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $0.1 million, or 2%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cost of goods sold includes third-party manufacturing costs of product sold, third-party royalty costs and distribution and other costs. Third-party royalty costs were 6% of Fanapt® net product sales and 5% of HETLIOZ® net product sales in Germany. Third-party royalty costs on HETLIOZ® net product sales in the U.S. decreased from 10% to 5% in December 2022 and ended in April 2024. There are no-third party royalty costs on net sales of PONVORY®. We evaluate the risk of excess inventory and product expiry by evaluating current and future product demand relative to product shelf life and build demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance, patient usage, and generic competition. Our inventory balance consisted of $2.5 million of Fanapt® product, $7.3 million of HETLIOZ® product and $0.5 million of PONVORY® product as of March 31, 2025.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 1.1%, to $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with our milsaperidone development program partially offset by expenses associated with our tradipitant development program.
Current wording
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $14.6 million, or 69%, to $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an upfront payment to AnaptysBio, Inc. for the exclusive, global license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize imsidolimab and drug supply and an increase in expenses associated with our Fanapt® and Bysanti TM development programs, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with our tradipitant development program.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in spending on commercial activities related to our commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in relapsing forms of MS, as well as legal and other corporate activities. During the first nine months of 2024, we commenced a host of commercial activities as part of our commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in multiple sclerosis, including an expansion of our sales force and the development of prescriber awareness and comprehensive marketing programs. Selling, general and administrative expenses may increase in future periods as a result of the ongoing commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in relapsing forms of MS, which were initiated in the third quarter of 2024.
Current wording
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $20.0 million, or 66%, to $50.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in spending on commercial activities related to our commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in RMS, as well as legal and other corporate activities. During 2024, we commenced a host of commercial activities as part of our commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in RMS, including an expansion of our sales force and the development of prescriber awareness and comprehensive marketing programs.

We may need or desire to obtain additional capital to finance our operations through debt, equity or alternative financing arrangements. We may also seek capital through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. The issuance of debt could require us to grant liens on certain of our assets that may limit our flexibility and debt securities may be convertible into common stock. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the terms and prices for these financings may be much more favorable to the new investors than the terms obtained by our existing stockholders. These financings also may significantly dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our future activities, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. There can be no assurance that any additional financing required in the future will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

HETLIOZ® net product sales decreased by $22.5 million, or 28%, to $56.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $79.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease to net product sales was attributable to a decrease in volume, partially offset by an increase in price net of deductions. Our HETLIOZ® net product sales as reported for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflected higher unit sales as compared to recent prior periods. The higher unit sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted in a significant increase of inventory stocking at specialty pharmacy customers at March 31, 2023. During the remainder of 2023, although there was continued destocking at specialty pharmacy customers, inventory levels remained elevated relative to inventory levels prior to the entrance of generic competition and remained elevated at March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Going forward, HETLIOZ® net product sales may reflect lower unit sales as a result of reduction of the elevated inventory levels at specialty pharmacy customers or may be variable depending on when specialty pharmacy customers need to purchase again. Further, HETLIOZ® net product sales will likely decline in future periods, potentially significantly, related to continued generic competition in the U.S. We constrained HETLIOZ® net product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 to an amount not probable of significant revenue reversal. The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to changes in estimates on revenue constrained during 2023 was $1.4 million. HETLIOZ® net product sales could experience variability in future periods as the remaining uncertainties associated with variable consideration related to inventory stocking by specialty pharmacy customers are resolved.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.9 million, or 20%, to $107.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $89.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in spending on commercial activities related to our commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in relapsing forms of MS, as well as legal and other corporate activities. During the first nine months of 2024, we commenced a host of commercial activities as part of our commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in multiple sclerosis, including an expansion of our sales force and the development of prescriber awareness and comprehensive marketing programs. Selling, general and administrative expenses may increase in future periods as a result of the ongoing commercial launches of Fanapt® in bipolar disorder and PONVORY® in relapsing forms of MS, which were initiated in the third quarter of 2024.
