Research and Development Expenses
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, research and development expenses were $34.3 million, compared to $29.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to an $11.4 million increase in third-party costs related to clinical studies, offset by a $2.4 million decrease in personnel-related costs because employee compensation and benefit
costs directly related to commercial drug production were capitalized into inventory, as well as a $4.0 million decrease in regulatory milestone payments to Daiichi.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, research and development expenses were $115.1 million, compared to $99.1 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $7.8 million increase in salaries and other benefits driven by the increase in headcount and stock-based compensation primarily related to
one-time charge for the vesting of performance-based awards upon receiving U.S. FDA approval of IBTROZI, a $12.1 million increase in third-party costs related to clinical studies, and a $0.1 million
increase in amortization of assembled workforce, offset by a $4.0 million decrease in regulatory milestone payments to Daiichi.

Therapeutics Ltd., we recorded a $425.1 million charge representing an acquired in-process research and development asset with no alternative future use in acquired

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $40.3 million, compared to $26.1 million for

$2.1 million increase in legal fees, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in professional fees, and a $0.7 million decrease in foreign currency impact.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $151.6 million, compared to $69.2 million for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
