Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Business

Nature of Business

Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. ("Xeris Biopharma" or the "Company") is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapies for people with chronic endocrine and neurological diseases in the United States. The Company offers Recorlev for the treatment of Cushing’s syndrome, Gvoke for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia, and Keveyis for the treatment of Primary Periodic Paralysis ("PPP"). The Company leverages its proprietary formulation technologies (XeriSol and XeriJect) in the creation of new products such as its own XP-8121 (once-weekly subcutaneous (SC) levothyroxine) as well as through the formation of development partnerships with other biopharmaceutical companies.

Throughout this document, unless otherwise noted, references to Gvoke include Gvoke PFS, Gvoke HypoPen, and Gvoke Kit (glucagon).

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other specialty pharmaceutical companies, including, but not limited to, successful commercialization and market acceptance of available products and any future products, if and when approved, successful development of product candidates, the development of new technological innovations by competitors, the ability to acquire additional capital when needed and on acceptable terms, and the ability to successfully protect intellectual property. The Company relies on a number of single source suppliers and manufacturers for the supply of its products and product candidates. Disruptions from these suppliers or manufacturers, which has occurred in the past and could occur in the future, could have a negative impact on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations. In addition, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of political and macroeconomic events and conditions.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses included in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to all contracts with customers within the scope of the standard.

The Company sells product primarily to wholesalers or a specialty pharmacy that subsequently resell to retail pharmacies or patients. The Company enters into arrangements with payors, group purchasing organizations, and healthcare providers that provide for government-mandated or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts related to the Company’s products. The Company currently sells Recorlev, Gvoke and Keveyis in the United States only.

Revenue is recognized when the Company's customer (e.g., a wholesaler or specialty pharmacy) obtains control of promised goods, which is when the Company's obligations under the terms of the contract with the customer are satisfied, based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods.

Revenues are recorded at the net product sales price, which includes estimated allowances for patient copay assistance programs, prompt payment discounts, payor rebates, chargebacks, service fees, and product returns, all of which are recorded at the time of sale to the pharmaceutical wholesaler or other customer. The Company applies significant judgments and estimates in determining some of these allowances. If actual results differ from its estimates, adjustments are made to these allowances in the period in which the actual results or updates to estimates become known.

Government Rebates

The Company participates in certain federal and state government rebate programs such as the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, TRICARE Retail Refunds Program, and Medicare Part D Program. The Company accrues estimated rebates and discounts based on actual average rebate amounts and estimated percent of product that will be prescribed to qualified patients and records the rebates as a reduction of product revenue. Accrued government rebates are included in accrued trade discounts and rebates on the consolidated balance sheets.

Commercial Rebates

The Company contracts with certain private payor organizations, primarily insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, to provide rebates with respect to utilization of the products and contracted formulary status. The Company accrues estimated rebates based on actual average rebate amounts and estimated percent of product that will be prescribed to qualified patients and records the rebate as a reduction of product revenue. Accrued commercial rebates are included in accrued trade discounts and rebates on the consolidated balance sheets.

Service Fees

The Company records service fees paid to the wholesaler and specialty pharmacy customers for distribution and inventory management services as a reduction to product revenue. The Company accrues estimated service fees based on contractually determined amounts. Accrued service fees are included in accrued trade discounts and rebates on the consolidated balance sheets.

Chargebacks

The Company arranges with certain commercial and government entities allowing them to buy products directly from wholesalers at specific prices. These entities purchase products through wholesalers at the discounted price and the wholesalers charge the difference between their list price and the discounted price back to the Company. The Company accrues estimated chargebacks based on estimated percentages of products sold to these entities, contract prices, and estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel and records the chargebacks as a reduction of product revenue. Accrued chargebacks are recorded as an allowance against trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets.

Product Returns

For some products, the Company's customers may have the right to return product during the period beginning six months prior to the product expiration date and up to one year after the product expiration date. The Company uses actual return data to estimate the provision for returns. In a reporting period, the Company may decide to constrain revenue for product returns based on information from various sources, including channel inventory levels, inventory dating, prescription data, the expiration dates of product currently being shipped, price changes of competitive products and introductions of generic products. The Company records estimated product returns in accrued returns reserve on the consolidated balance sheets and as a reduction of product revenue.

Patient Copay Assistance Program

The Company offers savings programs to commercially insured patients under which the cost of a prescription to a patient is discounted. The Company reimburses pharmacies for this discount through a third-party vendor. The Company records an accrual to reduce gross sales for the estimated copay on units sold to wholesalers and other customers. The estimate is based on estimated percentages of products that will be prescribed to qualified patients, expected patient utilization of the discount program, average assistance paid based on reporting from the third-party vendor as well as industry data and estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel. Accrued copay fees are recorded as a reduction of product revenue and included in accrued trade discounts and rebates on the consolidated balance sheets.

Prompt Payment Discounts

As an incentive for prompt payment, the Company offers a discount to most customers. The Company expects that all eligible customers will comply with the contractual terms to earn the discount, and, therefore, the Company accrues the discount on all eligible sales. The Company records the discount as an allowance against trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and as a reduction of product revenue.

Such revenue is reported as product revenue, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Additionally, the Company earns revenue from research collaborations for the use of Xeris' proprietary formulation technology platforms and royalties from branded products. Such revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when it can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. This revenue is reported as royalty, contract and other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to research collaboration performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period is $4.8 million.

Concentration of Credit Risk

For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, four customers accounted for 97% of the Company’s gross product revenue, respectively. At each of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the same four customers accounted for 92% and 97% of the trade accounts receivable, net, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes primarily product costs, which include all costs directly related to the purchase of raw materials, charges from contract manufacturing organizations, and manufacturing overhead costs, including shipping and distribution charges. Cost of goods sold also includes losses on excess, slow-moving or obsolete inventory and inventory purchase commitments, if any. Manufacturing costs for Gvoke and Recorlev incurred prior to approval and initial commercialization were expensed as research and development expenses.

The Company does not incur material cost of goods sold related to royalty, contract and other revenue.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include salaries, stock compensation and other personnel-related costs, consulting fees, fees paid for contract research and development services including those for preclinical and clinical trials, laboratory equipment and facilities costs, and other external costs. In addition, manufacturing costs of products prior to approval and initial commercialization are expensed as research and development costs.

Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. The capitalized amounts are expensed as the related goods are received, the services are performed, or the arrangement is terminated.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments, including stock options, restricted stock units, employee stock purchases and stock appreciation rights, to be recognized in the statements of operations based on their grant date fair values. Restricted stock units are valued based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date they were granted. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchases on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company’s cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liability awards. These awards are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement, with changes in cumulative compensation cost recognized in earnings during the period of change. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they are incurred.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company determines the deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, within the provision for taxes in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not accrue any interest or penalties on uncertain tax positions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all demand deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes amounts required to be held as a security deposit in the form of letters of credit for the Company to secure leases and state licenses.

Investments

The Company classifies investments in debt securities as available-for-sale investments. Investments classified as short-term on the balance sheets have original maturities of greater than 90 days but less than one year.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out convention. Inventory consists of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. The Company has entered into manufacturing and supply agreements for the manufacture or purchase of raw materials and production supplies. The Company’s inventory includes the direct purchase cost of materials and supplies, charges from contract manufacturing organizations and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company reviews inventory to assess if there is obsolete or excess inventory and records a charge to cost of goods sold if and when applicable.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets:

Lab equipment5 years
Computer equipment3 years
Leasehold improvementsLesser of useful life or lease term
Software3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures5 years
Office equipment5 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets such as property and equipment, intangible assets subject to amortization, and right-of-use assets on operating leases for potential impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Potential impairment is assessed when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. Recoverability of these assets is assessed based on undiscounted expected future cash flows from the assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets and economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If impairments are identified, assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

The Company recognizedno impairment charges for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events occur that may indicate possible impairment. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired under a business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at a reporting unit level annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the net assets is less than their carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary.

If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the net assets is less than their carrying amount, then the Company proceeds to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In connection with the annual impairment test conducted in the fourth quarter of 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the net assets exceeded their carrying value.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with financing arrangements are amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective financing arrangement using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs, net of related amortization, reduce the carrying value of the related debt.

Lease Accounting

Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the present value of the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of adoption in determining the present value of lease payments and used the implicit rate when readily determinable. The Company determined incremental borrowing rates through market sources for secured borrowings including relevant industry rates. The Company excludes variable payments from lease ROU assets and lease liabilities to the extent not considered in-substance fixed, and instead, expenses variable payments as incurred. The Company’s operating leases expire at various times in 2031 and 2037, some of which include options to extend leases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion and the Company’s lease ROU assets and liabilities reflect only the options the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise. The Company does not have leases with residual value guarantees or similar covenants.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value determination in accordance with applicable accounting guidance requires that a number of significant judgments be made. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets for impairment or as required for disclosure purposes by applicable accounting guidance on disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. Depending on the nature of the assets and liabilities, various valuation techniques and assumptions are used when estimating fair value. The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable, are shown at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The debt outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate on the debt. Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s investments and warrants. The fair value of the convertible senior notes is determined from using current interest rates based on credit ratings and the remaining term of maturity.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available and utilized by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company operates inone segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on the Company's current operating plans and existing working capital at December 31, 2025, the Company believes that its cash resources are sufficient to sustain operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents were $111.0 million as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $39.3 million from December 31, 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted accounting standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Beginning with our 2025 annual reporting, we adopted this ASU on a prospective basis. This standard improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For additional information, see Note 15 — Income Taxes.

Pending accounting standards

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements.

ASU 2024-03 is effective for all PBEs for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) - Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The FASB issued final guidance to clarify the requirements for determining whether to account for certain early settlements of convertible debt instruments as induced conversions. The guidance, which is based on a consensus-for-exposure of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), is intended to address issues that stakeholders encountered when applying the guidance on induced conversions in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification) 470-20, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options, to certain settlements of cash convertible debt instruments. For all entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted ASU 2020-06, which simplified an issuer’s accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (ASU 2025-11), which clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The guidance will be effective for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's disclosures.

Convertible Senior Notes

In June 2020, Xeris Pharma completed a public offering of $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of Xeris Pharma's 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Convertible Notes"), including $11.3 million pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional notes, which was exercised in full in July 2020. Xeris Pharma incurred debt issuance costs of $5.1 million in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes. At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders of 2025 Convertible Notes may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at their option into shares of the Company's common stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional share, at a conversion rate of 326.7974 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes. In the second half of 2020, $39.1 million in principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes were converted into 13,171,791 shares of Xeris Pharma's common stock.

In September 2023, the Company completed the exchange of $32.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its then outstanding Convertible Notes due 2025 or $33.6 million in aggregate principal amount of new 8.00% Convertible Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Convertible Notes" and together with the 2025 Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes").

In March and April of 2025, holders of all outstanding 2025 Convertible Senior Notes, totaling $15.2 million in aggregate principal amount, were converted by the noteholders into 4,978,151 shares of the Company's common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the 2028 Convertible Notes was $33.6 million. The remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs have been reflected as a direct reduction to the loan balance. The effective interest rate of the 2028 Convertible Notes, including the amortization of debt issuance costs was 8.9%.

The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and are equal in right of payment with the issuer's existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its future indebtedness, if any, that is expressly subordinated to the 2028 Convertible Notes, and effectively subordinated to its existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2028 Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company or Xeris Pharma is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries other than Xeris Pharma.

At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders of 2028 Convertible Notes may convert their 2028 Convertible Notes at their option into shares of the Company's common stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional share, at a conversion rate of 326.7974 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes is determined using current interest rates based on credit ratings and the remaining term of maturity. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes was approximately $89.8 million. The fair value of the convertible debt was estimated using inputs for volatility, the Company's stock price, time to maturity, the risk-free rate and the Company's credit spread, some of which are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy disclosed in "Note 10 - Fair value measurement."

Loan Agreement

On March 5, 2024, the Company and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the Lenders, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Credit Agreement dated March 8, 2022, between the Company, Xeris Pharma, and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company and Hayfin Services, LLP, as administrative agent for the lenders ("Credit Agreement"). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for the Lenders to extend $200.0 million in term loans (the "Tranche 1 Loans") to Xeris Pharma on the closing date and $15.2 million in additional term loans (the "Tranche 2 Loans" and, together with the Tranche 1 Loans, the "2029 Loans") on any date after the closing date and through July 15, 2025. The Tranche 2 Loans were only to be used to redeem the then outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company did not borrow any funds under the Tranche 2 Loans, which expired on July 15, 2025. In conjunction with the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the aggregate principal balance of $150.0 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Credit Agreement was continued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as Tranche 1 Loans. In addition to utilizing the proceeds to repay the obligations under the Credit Agreement in full, the proceeds of the Tranche 1 Loans are being used for general corporate purposes. After repayment, the 2029 Loans may not be re-borrowed.

The 2029 Loans will mature on March 5, 2029; provided, however, that the 2029 Loans will mature on January 15, 2028 if the 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding as of such date and either (i) the maturity date of the applicable notes has not been extended to a date not earlier than September 5, 2029 and (ii) the Company has not received net cash proceeds from one or more permitted equity raises or permitted raises of convertible debt which, together with no more than $15.6 million of cash on hand, is sufficient to redeem and discharge the 2028 Convertible Notes in full.

The 2029 Loans incur interest at a floating per annum rate in an amount equal to the sum of (i)6.95% (or 5.95% if the replacement rate is in effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a three month tenor (or the replacement rate, if applicable), and (y)2.00% per annum. The remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs have been reflected as a direct reduction to the loan balance. The effective interest rate of the 2029 Loans, including the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, amounts to approximately 11.4%. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the loan approximates its book value.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows Xeris Pharma to voluntarily prepay the outstanding amounts thereunder. Xeris Pharma is subject to an early prepayment fee equal to (i) for any prepayment that occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date, the applicable make-whole amount, (ii) for any prepayment that occurs after the second anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date, the product of (x) the amount of any principal so prepaid, multiplied by (y) for any prepayment that occurs (A) after the second anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the closing date, five percent (5.00%), (B) after the third anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date, three percent (3.00%), and (C) after the fourth anniversary of the closing date, zero percent (0.00%).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that limit or restrict the Company's (and its subsidiaries) ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity, make investments, dispose of assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was accounted for as a modification of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, thus there was no gain or loss recognized on the transaction.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1: Measured using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Fair value measurements are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The determination of the fair values stated below considers the market for the financial assets and liabilities, the associated credit risk and other factors as required. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

The following tables present the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Note 11. Stock Compensation Plan

In 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Stock Option Issuance Plan (the "2011 Plan") and subsequently amended it to authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 4,714,982 incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option awards. The 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2018 and approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2018 to award up to 1,822,000 shares of common stock. The 2018 Plan replaced the 2011 Plan as the Board of Directors decided not to make additional awards under the 2011 Plan following the closing of the Xeris Pharmaceutical IPO, which occurred in June 2018. The 2018 Plan allows the compensation committee to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to the Company's officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants). No grants of stock options or other awards may be made under the 2018 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date. As of December 31, 2025, there were 6.7 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

The 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2018 and approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2018 to issue up to 193,000 shares of common stock to participating employees. In June 2024, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP that removed the "evergreen" provision which provided for annual increases in the aggregate number of shares available for issuance thereunder and increased the aggregate number of shares available for issuance thereunder by 6,636,632 additional shares. Through the ESPP, eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of their compensation to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the closing market price of Xeris common stock on the offering date. The purchase price per share at each purchase date is equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing market price per share of Xeris common stock on the employee's offering date or (ii) the closing market price per share of Xeris common stock on the purchase date. Each offering period has a six-month duration and purchase interval. As of December 31, 2025, there were 5.9 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

The Equity Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in February 2019. The Inducement Plan allows the Company to make stock option or restricted stock unit awards to prospective employees of the Company as an inducement to such individuals to commence employment with the Company. The Company uses this Inducement Plan to help it attract and retain prospective employees who are necessary to support the commercialization of products and the expansion of the Company generally. As of December 31, 2025, there were 0.7 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Inducement Plan.

Assumed Plans

On the acquisition date of Strongbridge, the Company assumed all then-outstanding stock options and shares available and reserved for issuance under some legacy equity incentive plans of Strongbridge, including the Strongbridge 2015 equity compensation plan and Strongbridge 2017 inducement plan (collectively, the "Assumed Plans"). Shares reserved under the Assumed Plans will be available for future grants. The Company also assumed all then-outstanding stock options from the remainder of the legacy equity incentive plans of Strongbridge without assuming the shares available and reserved for issuance under those plans. The number of shares subject to stock options outstanding under all Strongbridge legacy equity incentive plans are included in the tables below. As of December 31, 2025, there were 0.2 million shares reserved for future grants under the Assumed Plans.

Stock Options

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Stock option awards typically vest over three years after the grant date and expire seven toten years from the grant date.

No stock options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024, or 2023; therefore, no weighted-average grant date fair value or related valuation assumptions are presented for these periods.

Stock option activity under the 2011 Plan, 2018 Plan, Inducement Plan and Assumed Plans for the year ended December 31, 2025:

Number of OptionsWeighted Average Exercise PricePer ShareWeighted Average Contractual Life (Years)Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)

Exercisable - December 31, 20255,309,859$5.542.78$16.3

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company's common stock and the exercise price.

At December 31, 2025, there was no unrecognized stock based compensation expense related to stock options.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") to employees. RSUs that are granted vest over either three years in equal annual installments beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the employee is employed by the Company on such vesting date. If and when the RSUs vest, the Company will issueone share of common stock for each whole RSU that has vested, subject to satisfaction of the employee's tax withholding obligations. Upon vesting and settlement of RSUs or exercise of stock options, at the election of the grantee, the Company does not collect withholding taxes in cash from employees. Instead, the Company withholds upon settlement as RSUs vest, or as stock options are exercised, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding taxes due. The withheld shares are accounted for as repurchases of common stock. Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period.

A summary of outstanding RSU awards and the activity for the year ended December 31, 2025:

Number of UnitsWeighted Average Grant Date Fair ValuePer Share
Unvested balance - December 31, 202416,420,640$2.12
Granted5,971,175$4.00

Forfeited(1,229,743)$2.56
Unvested balance - December 31, 202513,511,338$2.93

The total fair value of RSUs vested for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $31.5 million. Of the vested RSUs,2.7 million shares were surrendered to fulfill tax withholding obligations.

As of December 31, 2025, there was $23.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.4 years. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted-average grant date fair value per share of RSUs granted was $4.00 and $2.46, respectfully.

Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock appreciation rights ("SARs") are granted under the 2018 Plan. SARs are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. SARs allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of the Company's common stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. SARs are settled in cash and vest in full and automatically exercise on the second anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued service through the vesting date. SARs are settled in cash, and accordingly are classified as liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

SARs activity under the 2018 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:

Number of SARs · Weighted Average Exercise PricePer Share · Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) · Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Outstanding - December 31, 2024500,000$2.431.58$0.5

No SARs were granted during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The risk-free interest rate for SARs is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of remeasurement. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. As of December 31, 2025, there was $6.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to SARs.

Note 12. Other Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors an employee retirement plan qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for all eligible employees in the United States. Employees become eligible to contribute to the plan upon meeting certain age requirements and 30 days of service. Commencing in 2019, the Company began discretionary matching employee contributions up to certain limits. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company made$3.2 million, $2.0 million and $2.4 million of matching contributions to the plan, respectively.

Note 13. Leases

The Company has non-cancellable operating leases for office and laboratory space, which expire at various times in 2031 and 2036. The non-cancellable lease agreements provide for monthly lease payments, which increase during the term of each lease agreement.

All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases, which are included as operating lease right-of-use assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's operating lease costs are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

A majority of the Company's lease agreements include fixed rental payments. Certain lease agreements include fixed rental payments that are adjusted periodically by a fixed rate. The fixed payments, including the effects of changes in the fixed rate or amount, and renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised, are included in the measurement of the related lease liability. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, which includes renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised. The majority of the Company's real estate leases require that the Company pay maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance in addition to rent. These payments are generally variable and based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability but are reflected as variable lease expenses.

As the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company considers observable inputs as of the effective date of the ASC 842 adoption including the credit rating, existing borrowings and other relevant borrowing rates, such as risk-free rates like the United States Treasury rate, and then adjusting as necessary for the appropriate lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is reassessed if there is a change to the lease term or if a modification occurs and it is not accounted for as a separate contract. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 9.7 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 11.9%.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Commitments to Taro

The Company has a supply agreement with Taro Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. ("Taro") to produce Keveyis. In 2023, the Company amended the agreement to extend the initial term until March 2027. As part of the agreement, as amended, the Company has agreed to certain annual minimum marketing spend requirements and minimum purchase order quantities for each year, which in the case of the minimum purchase order quantities, is based on the previous year's purchases.

Leases

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had unused letters of credit of$4.0 million, which were issued primarily to secure leases. These letters of credit are collateralized by $4.0 million of restricted cash, which is recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company received Paragraph IV certification notice letters (each, a “Notice Letter”) from three pharmaceutical companies (each, an “ANDA Filer”), providing notification to us that each ANDA Filer had submitted an ANDA to the FDA seeking approval to manufacture, use or sell a generic version of RECORLEV®. The ANDAs each contained Paragraph IV certifications alleging that four of the Company’s Orange Book listed patents covering RECORLEV® that are scheduled to expire in March 2040 (U.S. Patent Numbers 11,020,393, 11,278,547, 11,903,940, and 12,377,096) are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by each ANDA Filer’s manufacture, use or sale of the generic product described in its respective ANDA submission.

On February 26, 2026, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Strongbridge Dublin Limited, filed a patent infringement lawsuit under the Hatch-Waxman Act in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (along with its affiliate, "Torrent") and Somerset Therapeutics, LLC (along with its affiliates, "Somerset"). The Company's complaint alleges that, by filing the ANDAs, each of Torrent and Somerset has infringed RECORLEV®’s Orange Book patents included in its respective Paragraph IV certification, and seek an injunction preventing the FDA from granting final approval of the ANDA before the expiration of the asserted patents, and a permanent injunction to prevent Torrent and Somerset from commercializing a generic version of RECORLEV®, until the expiration of the asserted patents, including any applicable extensions and additional periods of exclusivity. No trial date has been set. The filing of the lawsuit within 45 days of receipt of each of the respective Notice Letters triggered an automatic stay of the FDA’s approval of each of the respective ANDAs for up to 30 months in accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act..

The Company may receive additional Notice Letters in the future from ANDA filers seeking approval of a generic version of RECORLEV® and may file additional ANDA lawsuits in the future.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2025, management was not aware of any existing, pending or threatened legal actions that would have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Long Term Debt

The 2029 Loans will mature on March 5, 2029; provided, however, that the 2029 Loans will mature on January 15, 2028 if the 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding as of such date and either (i) the maturity date of the applicable notes has not been extended to a date not earlier than September 5, 2029 and (ii) the Company has not received net cash proceeds from one or more permitted equity raises or permitted raises of convertible debt which, together with no more than $15.6 million of cash on hand, is sufficient to redeem and discharge the 2028 Convertible Notes in full.

The benefit for income taxes for 2024 was attributable to the deferred tax liability set up with the Strongbridge acquisition.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is required to be established or maintained when, based on currently available information, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The guidance on accounting for income taxes provides important factors in determining whether a deferred tax asset will be realized, including whether there has been sufficient taxable income in recent years and whether sufficient income can reasonably be expected in future years in order to utilize the deferred tax asset. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company evaluated the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on the assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $490.7 million and various state net operating loss carryforwards of $429.4 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $480.1 million and various state net operating loss carryforwards of $375.1 million. Net operating loss carryforwards for the United States federal income tax purposes that were generated prior to January 1, 2018 have a twenty-year carryforward life and will expire in 2037. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and later years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such net operating losses is limited to 80% of the current year’s taxable income. The United States state net operating loss carryforwards will start to expire in 2029 for the earliest net operating loss layers to the extent there is not sufficient state taxable income to utilize those net operating loss carryforwards.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $7.0 million and $5.8 million of federal and state income tax credits, respectively, to reduce future tax liabilities.

The Company is required to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company accounts for the uncertainty in income taxes by utilizing a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken, or are expected to be taken, on an income tax return. The changes in the Company's uncertain income tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, excluding interest and penalties, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Beginning balance - uncertain tax positions$712$694$722
Increases related to tax positions taken during the current year12361—
Increases/(decreases) related to tax positions taken during the prior year(1)(43)(28)
Ending balance - uncertain tax positions$834$712$694

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the increase in current year uncertain tax positions was attributable primarily to the United States federal orphan drug credits and research and development and orphan drug credits and the decrease related to tax positions taken during December 31, 2023, was a result of return to provision adjustments. In the Company’s balance sheet, uncertain tax positions of $0.8 million were offset against deferred tax assets. Tax years prior to 2021 generally are not subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state or local taxing authorities.

The Company policy is to include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax penalties, if any, within the provision for taxes in the statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurredno interest and penalties related to income taxes.

Note 16. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which the Company was in a net loss, the shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or vesting of Convertible Notes, warrants, stock option awards and RSUs have been excluded from the calculation because their effects would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands):

Years Ended December 31,
202520242023
Numerator (basic and diluted):

Note 17. Segment Reporting

The Company is a single operating and reporting segment dedicated to developing and commercializing therapies for people with chronic endocrine and neurological diseases. The Company has identified the Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM").

The CODM regularly reviews consolidated financial information, including net income (loss), to assess the performance of the Company and allocate resources. The CODM also considers budget versus actual results and revenue trends to evaluate expenditures and allocate resources across the organization.

The consolidated financial statements provide a comprehensive view of the Company’s overall financial condition, including information on segment assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets. The significant expense categories are consistent with those presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and the CODM does not receive or use any other disaggregated or significant expense information for decision making purposes.
