Current report
RP Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company, is responsible for our management, including our day-to-day operations, pursuant to advisory and management agreements (collectively, the “Management Agreement”).
Current report
In January 2025, we agreed to acquire our Manager for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.1 billion (the “Internalization”). The consideration includes approximately 24.5 million of RP Holdings shares, $380 million of existing debt of the Manager and $200 million of cash less the amount of the Operating and Personnel Payments (as defined below) made to the Manager from January 1, 2025 through the closing of the transaction, which was estimated to be approximately $100 million. The acquisition is expected to reduce costs and enhance economic returns on investments. Additionally, we expect the acquisition to increase shareholder alignment, enhance corporate governance, ensure management continuity and simplify our corporate structure. If the acquisition is approved by shareholders, we would cease to be externally managed and would operate as an integrated company with all employees of the Manager becoming employees of the Company. The closing of the transaction is subject to the shareholders’ approval of the issuance of the share consideration and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is estimated to close during the second quarter of 2025.
Current report
In January 2025, we agreed to acquire our Manager for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.1 billion. The transaction is estimated to close during the second quarter of 2025. Upon closing of this transaction, we would no longer make Operating and Personnel Payments to the Manager. Following the acquisition, personnel costs will comprise the most significant component of G&A expenses.

Current report
Income from financial royalty assets was relatively flat in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024. Income from financial royalty asset increased primarily due to the addition of Voranigo, partially offset by the decrease in interest income from the cystic fibrosis franchise. The lower interest income from the cystic fibrosis franchise was primarily driven by the impaired financial royalty asset balance from the provision expense recognized in 2024. See further details below under “Provision for changes in expected cash flows from financial royalty assets” for the first quarter of 2024.

Previous report
Income from financial royalty assets increased by $24.5 million, or 4.8%, in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in income from Evrysdi attributable to the incremental royalties that we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2024. The increase was partially offset by the declines in sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecast for cystic fibrosis franchise.
Previous report
Income from financial royalty assets decreased by $87.1 million, or 5.2%, in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to the March 2023 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of Pfizer’s Zavzpret. This FDA approval resulted in our receipt of a $475.0 million milestone payment and $153.6 million of interest income recognized in the first quarter of 2023 as reflected within other products in the above table, which were non-recurring. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in income from Evrysdi in 2024 attributable to the incremental royalties that we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2024.

Previous report
Equity in losses of equity method investees was $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to equity in earnings of equity method investees of $28.6 million in the first nine months of 2023, primarily driven by a loss allocation from the Avillion Entities of $7.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to an income allocation of $28.0 million in the first nine months of 2023. The income allocation in the first nine months of 2023 from the Avillion Entities was primarily driven by an $80 million payment the Avillion Entities received related to AstraZeneca’s election to exercise an option to commercialize Airsupra in the United States.
Previous report
Interest expense increased by $20.5 million, or 44.5% in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by the issuance of the $1.5 billion of senior unsecured notes in June 2024.

We acquired the remaining 34% interest in RPCT owned by Royalty Pharma Select Finance Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“RPSFT”) in December 2023.
Previous wording
The measurement of income from our financial royalty assets requires significant judgments and estimates, including management’s judgment in forecasting the expected future cash flows of the underlying royalties and the expected duration of the financial royalty asset. Our cash flow forecasts are updated each reporting period primarily using sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales estimates for each of the products in which we own royalties. We then calculate our expected royalty receipts by applying our royalty terms to these consensus sales forecasts. As we update our forecasted cash flows on a periodic basis and recalculate the present value of the remaining future cash flows, any shortfall when compared to the carrying value of the financial royalty asset is recorded directly in the income statement as non-cash provision expense. If, in a subsequent period, there is an increase in expected cash flows or if actual cash flows are greater than cash flows previously expected, we reverse the provision expense previously recorded in part or in full by recording a non-cash credit to the provision.

Previous wording
As a result of the non-cash charges associated with applying the effective interest method accounting methodology to our financial royalty assets, our condensed consolidated statements of operations activity can be volatile and unpredictable. Small declines in sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecasts over a long time horizon can result in an immediate non-cash income statement expense recognition, even though the applicable cash inflows will not be realized for many years into the future. For example, in late 2014 we acquired the cystic fibrosis franchise and shortly after, declines in near-term sales forecasts of sell-side equity research analysts caused us to recognize non-cash provision expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Over the course of 10 quarters, we continued to recognize non-cash provision expense because of these changes in sales forecasts, ultimately reaching a peak cumulative allowance of $1.30 billion by September 30, 2017. With the approval of the Vertex triple combination therapy, Trikafta, in October 2019, sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecasts increased to reflect the larger addressable market and the extension of the expected duration of the Trikafta royalty, resulting in the reversal of the remaining $1.10 billion cumulative allowance. The recognition of the associated non-cash provision income of $1.10 billion in 2019 was not tied to royalty receipts, but rather to the increase in sales forecasts. This example illustrates the volatility caused by our accounting model in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

EPA Holdings is entitled to receive equity distributions through its RP Holdings Class C Special Interest (“Equity Performance Awards”). Equity Performance Awards owed to EPA Holdings will be recognized as an equity transaction when the obligation becomes due and will impact the income allocated to non-controlling interest related to the RP Holdings Class C Special Interest. The Equity Performance Awards will be payable in RP Holdings Class B Interests that will be exchanged upon issuance for Class A ordinary shares. EPA Holdings may also receive a periodic cash advance in respect of the RP Holdings Class C Special Interest to the extent necessary for EPA Holdings or any of its beneficial owners to pay when due any income tax imposed on it or them as a result of holding such RP Holdings Class C Special Interest.

RPI EPA Vehicle LLC’s (the “EPA Entity”) ownership of RP Holdings’ Class C ordinary share (the “RP Holdings Class C Special Interest”). Investments made during each two-year period are grouped together as separate portfolios (each, a “Portfolio”). Subject to certain conditions, at the end of each fiscal quarter, the EPA Entity is entitled to a distribution from RP Holdings in respect of each Portfolio equal to 20% of the Net Economic Profit (defined as the aggregate cash receipts for all new portfolio investments in such Portfolio less Total Expenses (defined as interest expense, operating expense and recovery of acquisition cost in respect of such Portfolio)) for such Portfolio for the applicable measuring period (the “Equity Performance Awards”). Equity Performance Awards are recognized as an equity transaction when the obligation becomes due and income is allocated to non-controlling interest related to the RP Holdings Class C Special Interest. The Equity Performance Awards are payable in RP Holdings Class B Interests that will be exchanged upon issuance for Class A ordinary shares. The EPA Entity may also receive a periodic cash advance to the extent necessary for the EPA Entity or any of its beneficial owners to pay when due any income tax imposed on it or them as a result of holding such RP Holdings Class C Special Interest.

In the third quarter of 2024, we recorded provision income of $227.6 million, comprised of $261.3 million in provision income for changes in expected cash flows and $33.7 million in provision expense for current expected credit losses. We recorded provision income for changes in expected cash flows primarily related to Tysabri, Xtandi, cystic fibrosis franchise and Evrysdi due to increases in sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecasts. The provision expense for credit losses was primarily driven by the addition of Yorvipath to our portfolio.
Current wording
In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded provision income of $127.1 million, comprised of $113.6 million in provision income for changes in expected cash flows and $13.5 million in provision income for current expected credit losses. We recorded provision income for changes in expected cash flows primarily related to cystic fibrosis franchise due to increase in sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecasts. The provision income for changes in expected cash flows was partially offset by provision expense related to Evrysdi due to declines in sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecasts.

In the first nine months of 2024, we recorded provision expense of $568.4 million, comprised of $504.5 million in provision expense for changes in expected cash flows and $64.0 million in provision expense for current expected credit losses. We recorded provision expense for changes in expected cash flows primarily related to Evrysdi due to declines in sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales forecasts. We recorded provision expense for changes in expected cash flows related to the cystic fibrosis franchise, primarily due to the inclusion of consensus estimates for Vertex’s vanzacaftor triple following disclosure of the Phase 3 clinical data and the conservative assumption that royalties are only collected on the tezacaftor component of the vanzacaftor triple and not the deuterated ivacaftor component. Although we believe that the deuterated ivacaftor component of vanzacaftor triple is the same as ivacaftor and is therefore royalty-bearing, Vertex has made public statements that it believes the deuterated ivacaftor component is not royalty-bearing. If deuterated ivacaftor is determined to be royalty-bearing, we may recognize provision income in our results of operations at that time. Additionally, we recorded provision expense for Crysvita due to declines in sales forecasts. The provision expense for credit losses was primarily driven by the additions of Yorvipath, Voranigo and ecopipam to our portfolio.

Although we believe that the deuterated ivacaftor component of Alyftrek is the same as ivacaftor and is therefore royalty-bearing, Vertex has made public statements that it believes the deuterated ivacaftor component is not royalty-bearing. If deuterated ivacaftor is determined to be royalty-bearing, we may recognize provision income in our results of operations at that time.
