When did Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc file this 10-Q?

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc (VRTX) filed this Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) with the SEC on August 4, 2026. The accession number assigned by EDGAR is 0000875320-26-000259.

What does a 10-Q disclose?

Form 10-Q is the SEC's quarterly report. Public companies file it after each of the first three fiscal quarters to disclose unaudited financial statements and management's discussion of operations. The fourth-quarter results are rolled into the annual 10-K instead.

How is a 10-Q different from a 10-K?

Form 10-Q is filed three times a year (after Q1, Q2, and Q3 — the fourth quarter rolls into the 10-K). 10-Qs contain unaudited interim financial statements and a shorter MD&A. They're due 40 or 45 days after quarter end depending on filer size.

Where can I find Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc's prior quarterly reports on EDGAR?

The SEC EDGAR browser lists every 10-Q Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc has filed under CIK 875320, sortable by date. Use the "View on SEC EDGAR" link in the page header, or browse directly via https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

A.Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Vertex

Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Vertex and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All

material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We operate in one segment, pharmaceuticals.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year

ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) have been condensed or omitted. These interim

financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation

of the financial position and results of income for the interim periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected

for the full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements

for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are contained in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make

certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets

and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses

during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including in

certain circumstances future projections that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ

from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03,

Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities, among other items, to

disclose in a tabular format, on an annual and interim basis, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation,

intangible asset amortization and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU 2024-03

becomes effective for the annual period starting on January 1, 2027 and interim periods starting on January 1, 2028. We are

in the process of analyzing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our disclosures.

Internal-Use Software

In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which eliminates consideration of the

software project development stages and replaces them with modernized recognition and measurement guidance designed to

reflect current internal-use software development practices. ASU 2025-06 becomes effective for the annual and interim

periods starting on January 1, 2028. We are in the process of analyzing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will

have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies,” in our 2025

Annual Report on Form 10-K.

B.Collaboration, License and Other Arrangements

Acquired In-Process Research and Development

We have entered into numerous business development agreements with third parties to collaborate on research,

development and commercialization programs, license technologies, or acquire assets. Our “Acquired in-process research and

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

development expenses” (“AIPR&D”) included $21.4 million and $21.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30,

2026, respectively, and $2.2 million and $22.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, related

to upfront, contingent milestone, or other payments pursuant to our business development transactions.

Our collaboration, licensing and asset acquisition agreements that had a significant impact on our financial statements for

the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 or were new or materially revised during the three and six months

ended June 30, 2026, are described below. Additional agreements are described in Note B, “Collaboration, License and Other

Arrangements,” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In-license Agreements

CRISPR Therapeutics AG

We have a joint development and commercialization agreement (the “CRISPR JDCA”) with CRISPR Therapeutics AG

and its affiliates (“CRISPR”). Pursuant to the CRISPR JDCA, we lead global development, manufacturing and

commercialization of CASGEVY for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies, including treatments for severe sickle cell disease

(“SCD”) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia, with support from CRISPR.

We share with CRISPR 40% of the net commercial profits or losses incurred with respect to CASGEVY, subject to

certain adjustments, which is recorded to “Cost of sales.” The net commercial profits or losses equal the sum of the product

revenues, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses that we recognized during the applicable period

related to the CRISPR JDCA. We also are reimbursed by CRISPR for its 40% share of the research and development

activities conducted under the CRISPR JDCA, subject to certain adjustments, and we record this reimbursement from

CRISPR as a credit within “Research and development expenses.”

In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a $12.5 million credit to AIPR&D from CRISPR, reflecting its share of our

upfront payment paid to Orna Therapeutics in December 2024.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the credits recognized in our condensed consolidated

statements of income for CRISPR’s share of CRISPR JDCA activities were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026	2025	2026	2025

	(in millions)
Cost of sales	$21.8	$30.1	$44.9	$66.3
Research and development expenses	$14.4	$15.1	$30.5	$31.1
Acquired in-process research and development expenses	$—	$—	$—	$12.5

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

In 2004, we entered into an agreement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (the “CFF”), as successor in interest to the

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc., to support research and development activities. Pursuant to the agreement, as

amended, we have agreed to pay tiered royalties ranging from single digits to sub-teens on covered compounds first

synthesized and/or tested during a research term on or before February 28, 2014, including ivacaftor, lumacaftor and

tezacaftor, and royalties ranging from low-single digits to mid-single digits on net sales of certain compounds first

synthesized and/or tested between March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2016, including elexacaftor. We do not have any royalty

obligations on compounds first synthesized and tested on or after September 1, 2016. For combination products, such as

ORKAMBI, SYMDEKO/SYMKEVI, TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO, and ALYFTREK, sales are allocated equally to each of the

active pharmaceutical ingredients in the combination product, and royalties are then paid for any royalty-bearing components

included in the combination. We record expenses related to these royalty obligations to “Cost of sales.”

Please refer to Note E, “Marketable Securities and Other Investments,” for the carrying amount and related unrealized

gains (losses) by type of investment. Our cash equivalents primarily include money market funds, commercial paper, and

time deposits.

Fair Value of Corporate Equity Securities

We classify our investments in publicly traded corporate equity securities as “Marketable securities” on our condensed

consolidated balance sheets. Generally, our investments in the common stock of publicly traded companies are valued based

on Level 1 inputs because they have readily determinable fair values.

Please refer to Note E, “Marketable Securities and Other Investments,” for further information on these investments.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

Our Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities of $79.6 million are related to $678.3 million of development and

regulatory milestones potentially payable to former equity holders of a privately-held company we acquired in 2019. We base

our estimates of the probability of achieving the milestones relevant to the fair value of contingent payments on industry data

attributable to gene therapies and our knowledge of the progress and viability of the associated Duchenne muscular dystrophy

programs. The discount rates used in the valuation model for contingent payments, which were between 4.6% and 4.7% as of

June 30, 2026, represent a measure of credit risk and market risk associated with settling the liabilities. Significant judgment

is used in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions at each reporting period.

We did not record any allowances for credit losses to adjust the fair value of our marketable available-for-sale debt

securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Additionally, we did not record any realized gains

or losses related to these investments that were material to our condensed consolidated statements of income during the three

and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we held marketable available-for-sale debt securities

with a total fair value of $4.8 billion that were in unrealized loss positions totaling $26.2 million, including an insignificant

amount that had been in unrealized loss positions for greater than twelve months.

We record changes in the fair value of our investments in corporate equity securities to “Other income (expense), net” in

our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our net

unrealized (losses) gains on corporate equity securities with readily determinable fair values held at the conclusion of each

period were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026	2025	2026	2025

	(in millions)
Net unrealized (losses) gains	$(8.5)	$6.4	$(4.7)	$(8.6)

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our equity investments without readily determinable

fair values, which are recorded in “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets was $80.1 million and

$81.5 million, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we received $75.5 million cash proceeds following the conversion

of a note receivable we held from a privately-held company that was acquired. As a result, we recognized a realized gain of

$48.7 million within “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

F.Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

G.Hedging

Foreign currency forward contracts - Designated as hedging instruments

We maintain a hedging program intended to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates for a portion of our

forecasted product revenues denominated in certain foreign currencies. The program includes foreign currency forward

contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP having contractual durations from one to 36 months. We

recognize realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts in “Product revenues, net” in our condensed

consolidated statements of income in the same period that we recognize the product revenues that were impacted by the

hedged foreign exchange rate changes.

Table of Contents

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

We formally document the relationship between foreign currency forward contracts (hedging instruments) and forecasted

product revenues (hedged items), as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedging

activities, which includes matching all foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges to

forecasted transactions. Using regression analysis, we assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether

the foreign currency forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items on a

prospective and retrospective basis. As of June 30, 2026, all hedges were determined to be highly effective.

We consider the impact of our counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts. As

of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, credit risk did not change the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts.

The following table summarizes the notional amount in U.S. dollars of our outstanding foreign currency forward

contracts designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP:


	As of June 30, 2026	As of December 31, 2025

Foreign Currency	(in millions)
Euro	$3,520.1	$4,677.9
Canadian dollar	371.7	516.1
British pound sterling	351.6	492.6
Australian dollar	278.0	267.5
Swiss franc	91.2	126.0
Total foreign currency forward contracts	$4,612.6	$6,080.1

Foreign currency forward contracts - Not designated as hedging instruments

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, typically with contractual maturities of approximately one month,

which are designed to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities, including

intercompany balances. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. We recognize realized

gains and losses for such contracts in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of income

each period. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward

contracts where hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP was not applied was $670.9 million and $612.6 million, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized the following related to foreign currency

forward contracts in our condensed consolidated statements of income:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,

In March 2025, based on results from a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating our VX-264 clinical program in patients with

type 1 diabetes (“T1D”), we concluded that VX-264 will not be advancing further in clinical development. Based on this

event, we performed an interim impairment test on the fair value of our VX-264 indefinite-lived in-process research and

development asset that we acquired from Semma Therapeutics, Inc. in 2019. As a result, using the multi period earnings

method of the income approach, we recorded a full intangible asset impairment charge of $379.0 million in the first quarter of

2025. As of June 30, 2026, our remaining indefinite-lived in-process research and development assets were associated with

our T1D program.

J.Stock-based Compensation Expense and Share Repurchase Programs

Share repurchase program

In February 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase

Program”), pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of our common stock. As of September 30,

2025, we had repurchased the full amount authorized under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program.

In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program (the “2025 Share Repurchase

Program”), pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $4.0 billion of our common stock. The 2025 Share

Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and can be discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2026, we had $2.6

billion remaining available under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program.

During each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 1.8 million shares of our common stock

under our share repurchase programs, for aggregate repurchases of $799.5 million and $811.4 million, respectively.

K.Income Taxes

We are subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and

2025, we recorded the following provisions for income taxes and effective tax rates as compared to our income before

provision for income taxes.


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026	2025	2026	2025

	(in millions, except percentages)
Income before provision for income taxes	$1,391.8	$1,283.0	$2,644.7	$2,013.4
Provision for income taxes	$292.0	$250.1	$513.5	$334.2


Effective tax rate	21.0%		19.5%		19.4%		16.6%

Our effective tax rates were equal to the U.S. statutory rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and lower than the

U.S. statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based

compensation.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily

due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and tax credits.

We have reviewed the tax positions taken, or to be taken, in our tax returns for all tax years currently open to

examination by a taxing authority. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $439.4 million and $436.6 million,

respectively, of net unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect our tax rate if recognized.

We file U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. We have

various income tax audits ongoing at any time throughout the world. Except for jurisdictions where we have net operating

losses or tax credit carryforwards, we are no longer subject to any tax assessment from tax authorities for years prior to 2014

in jurisdictions that have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Due to the nature of the adjustments

from a settlement with the United Kingdom’s HM Revenue & Customs in 2023, we have asserted our rights under the U.S./

U.K. Income Tax Convention pursuant to the mutual agreement procedures for the relief of double taxation for these matters.

In December 2022, European Union member states reached an agreement to implement the minimum tax component

(“Pillar Two”) of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (the “OECD’s”), global international tax

reform initiative with effective dates of January 1, 2024 and 2025. On January 5, 2026, the OECD announced that a ‘side-by-

side’ agreement was reached with member countries creating safe harbors to exempt U.S. multi-nationals from certain taxes

under the Pillar Two regime by recognizing the U.S. tax system as a compatible domestic minimum tax regime. Our exposure

to other countries’ minimum tax regimes was limited before these changes, but the side-by-side agreement allows for

certainty as our structure may change in the future.

In July 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R.1, which includes significant provisions modifying the U.S. tax framework, including

the ability for companies to immediately deduct research and development expenditures for 2025 and provisions for

deducting previously capitalized amounts. H.R.1 does not have a material impact on our U.S. taxes for the first half of 2026,

but we expect further guidance to be issued. We will review guidance when issued for impacts on future years and disclose

any impacts if needed at that time. These legislative changes could have an impact on our future effective tax rates, tax

liabilities, and cash taxes.

L.Commitments and Contingencies

2026 Revolving Credit Agreement

In July 2026, Vertex and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $500.0 million senior unsecured revolving facility (the

“2026 Revolver”) with the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which

matures on July 30, 2031. We have not drawn upon the 2026 Revolver to date. Amounts drawn pursuant to the 2026

Revolver, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may request

that the borrowing capacity for the 2026 Revolver be increased by an additional $500.0 million. Up to $100.0 million of the

2026 Revolver may be allocated for loans and letters of credit in certain non-U.S. Dollar currencies. Additionally, the 2026

Revolver provides a sublimit of $100.0 million for letters of credit.

Any U.S. Dollar-denominated amounts borrowed under the 2026 Revolver will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per

annum equal to either a base rate or a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), in each case, plus an applicable margin.

Under the 2026 Revolver, the applicable margins on base rate loans range from 0.000% to 0.500% and the applicable margins

on SOFR-based loans range from 0.875% to 1.500%, in each case, depending upon, either (x) our consolidated leverage ratio

(the ratio of our total consolidated funded indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four

fiscal quarter period) or (y) to the extent available, our credit rating. Any amounts borrowed in non-U.S. Dollar currencies

will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate for such currency plus the applicable margin.

Loans made under the 2026 Revolver may be prepaid and commitments under the 2026 Revolver may be reduced at any

time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

Loans made under the 2026 Revolver will be guaranteed by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries,

subject to certain customary exceptions and limitations.

The 2026 Revolver contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, which

include limitations on subsidiary debt, liens and fundamental changes, as well as a financial covenant to maintain a

consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, subject to an increase, at our election, to 4.00 to 1.00 for each of the four fiscal

quarters following a material acquisition.

The 2026 Revolver also contains customary events of default. In the case of a continuing event of default, the

administrative agent would be entitled to exercise various remedies, including the acceleration of amounts due under any

outstanding loans.

Direct costs related to the 2026 Revolver are recorded over its term and are not material to our financial statements.

Prior Credit Facility

In July 2026, in conjunction with entering into the 2026 Revolver, we terminated the $500.0 million revolving credit

agreement we entered into in 2022. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with this

revolving credit agreement.

2026 Term Loan

In July 2026, we entered into the 2026 Term Loan, as defined and described in Note O, “Subsequent Events.”

Guaranties and Indemnifications

As permitted under Massachusetts law, our Articles of Organization and By-laws provide that we will indemnify certain

of our officers and directors for certain claims asserted against them in connection with their service as an officer or director.

The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions

is unlimited. However, we have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that could reduce our monetary

exposure and enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. No indemnification claims currently are outstanding,

and we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is minimal.

We customarily agree in the ordinary course of our business to indemnification provisions in agreements with clinical

trial investigators and sites in our product development programs, sponsored research agreements with academic and not-for-

profit institutions, various comparable agreements involving parties performing services for us, and our real estate leases. We

also customarily agree to certain indemnification provisions in our drug discovery, development and commercialization

collaboration agreements. With respect to our clinical trials and sponsored research agreements, these indemnification

provisions typically apply to any claim asserted against the investigator or the investigator’s institution relating to personal

injury or property damage, violations of law or certain breaches of our contractual obligations arising out of the research or

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

clinical testing of our compounds or product candidates. With respect to lease agreements, the indemnification provisions

typically apply to claims asserted against the landlord relating to personal injury or property damage caused by us, to

violations of law by us or to certain breaches of our contractual obligations. The indemnification provisions appearing in our

collaboration agreements are similar to those for the other agreements discussed above, but in addition provide some limited

indemnification for our collaborator in the event of third-party claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights. In

each of the cases above, the indemnification obligation generally survives the termination of the agreement for some

extended period, although we believe the obligation typically has the most relevance during the contract term and for a short

period of time thereafter. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these

provisions is generally unlimited. We have purchased insurance policies covering personal injury, property damage and

general liability that reduce our exposure for indemnification and would enable us in many cases to recover all or a portion of

any future amounts paid. We have never paid any material amounts to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these

indemnification provisions. Accordingly, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is

minimal.

Legal Matters and Other Contingencies

As described in Note B, “Collaboration, License and Other Arrangements,” we have an agreement with the CFF (the

“CFF Agreement”) pursuant to which we owe third-party royalties payable on net sales of certain CF products, including

ALYFTREK. Since inception, our ALYFTREK net product revenues total $1.8 billion. Based on the CFF Agreement, our

position is that the royalty burden associated with ALYFTREK is 4%. On October 10, 2025, Royalty Pharma plc (“RP”), the

third party to whom the CFF assigned its rights (and the CFF, which remains a party to the CFF Agreement), initiated a

confidential arbitration alleging the royalty burden on ALYFTREK is approximately 8%. RP is seeking a declaratory

judgment regarding the royalty burden on ALYFTREK as well as alleged unpaid royalties and other alleged damages

available under the CFF Agreement or applicable law, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and interest. We believe RP’s position

is contrary to the plain terms of the CFF Agreement and intend to vigorously defend our position under the CFF Agreement.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate developments with claims, whether asserted or unasserted, and legal proceedings that

could result in a loss contingency accrual, or an increase or decrease to a previously accrued loss contingency. There were no

material loss contingencies accrued as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

We also have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. We accrue for such

contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably

estimated. Other than our contingent consideration liabilities discussed in Note D, “Fair Value Measurements,” there were no

significant contingent liabilities accrued as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

N.Additional Balance Sheet & Cash Flow Information

Contract Liabilities

We had contract liabilities of $157.0 million and $171.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025,

respectively, primarily related to annual contracts with government-owned and supported customers in international markets

that limit the amount of annual reimbursement we can receive for our CF products. Upon exceeding the annual

reimbursement amount provided by the customer’s contract with us, our CF products are provided free of charge, which is a

material right. These contracts include upfront payments and fees. If we estimate that we will exceed the annual

reimbursement amount under a contract, we defer a portion of the consideration received for shipments made up to the annual

reimbursement limit as a portion of “Other current liabilities.” Once the reimbursement limit has been reached, we recognize

the deferred amount as revenue when we ship the free products. Our CF product revenue contracts include performance

obligations that are one year or less.

Our contract liabilities at the end of each fiscal year relate to contracts with CF annual reimbursement limits in

international markets in which the annual period associated with the contract is not the same as our fiscal year. In these

markets, we recognize revenues related to performance obligations satisfied in previous years; however, these revenues do

not relate to any performance obligations that were satisfied more than 12 months prior to the beginning of the current year.

Operating Lease Assets and Liabilities

In 2023, we entered into a strategic agreement with Lonza to support the manufacture of T1D cell therapy product

candidates. As part of this agreement, we have partnered with Lonza to build a 130,000 square foot dedicated new facility in

New Hampshire, which will be operated by Lonza (the “Lonza Facility”) and is an embedded lease for accounting purposes.

The lease commencement for the Lonza Facility occurred during the first quarter of 2026, upon which we recorded a right-of-

use asset and corresponding lease liability of $95.8 million within each of “Operating lease assets” and “Long-term operating

lease liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with our policy for embedded leases with

contract manufacturing organizations, we account for the lease component separately from the variable non-lease

components, which we expense as incurred. Payments will continue through the tenth anniversary of the Lonza Facility’s

regulatory approval for commercial production. The lease will automatically renew for additional one-year periods, unless

either we or Lonza provides written notice of intent to not renew. We utilize the initial period as our lease term.

We obtained $148.8 million and $5.1 million of right-of-use operating lease assets in exchange for a similar amount of

lease obligations, including the Lonza Facility amounts described above, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and

2025, respectively. These represent non-cash operating activities associated with our condensed consolidated statement of

cash flows.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Presented in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

O.Subsequent Events

Crinetics Acquisition

On July 6, 2026, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire (the “Crinetics Acquisition”) all of the

issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly traded biotechnology company

focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel therapeutics for endocrine diseases and endocrine-related

tumors, for $85.00 per share in cash, for a total equity value of approximately $10.0 billion. The transaction is expected to

Table of Contents

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to certain customary closing conditions. We will account for the acquisition in the

period that it closes. We intend to fund the acquisition using a combination of our cash, cash equivalents, and proceeds from

the 2026 Term Loan, as defined below. The Crinetics Acquisition is not conditioned on our receipt of financing.

Concurrently with entry into the merger agreement for the Crinetics Acquisition, we entered into a debt commitment

letter dated July 6, 2026 with Bank of America, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc.,

pursuant to which they agreed to provide us with an unsecured 364-day bridge loan facility. On July 30, 2026, this

commitment was terminated upon entry into the 2026 Term Loan, described below.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On July 30, 2026, we entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “2026 Term Loan”) with the lenders and issuing

banks party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which provides for a $4.5 billion senior unsecured

delayed draw term loan A facility. Amounts borrowed under the 2026 Term Loan will be used to finance a portion of the

Crinetics Acquisition.

Any amounts borrowed under the 2026 Term Loan will become payable in full as follows: (a) a $1.0 billion tranche due

364 days after the amounts are borrowed (the “Funding Date”) (“Tranche 1 Loans”), (b) a $1.0 billion tranche due on the date

that is two years after the Funding Date (“Tranche 2 Loans”), and (c) a $2.5 billion tranche due on the date that is three years

after the Funding Date (“Tranche 3 Loans”). We have not drawn upon the 2026 Term Loan to date.

Loans made under the 2026 Term Loan will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to either a base rate or

a SOFR-based rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Under the 2026 Term Loan, the applicable margin on base rate

loans ranges from 0.000% to 0.500% for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Loans and from 0.000% to 0.625% for Tranche 3 Loans,

and the applicable margin on SOFR-based loans ranges from 0.8750% to 1.500% for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Loans and

from 1.000% to 1.625% for Tranche 3 Loans, in each case, depending upon, either (x) our consolidated leverage ratio (the

ratio of our total consolidated funded indebtedness to our consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal

quarter period) or (y) to the extent available, our credit rating. Loans made under the 2026 Term Loan may be prepaid and

commitments under the 2026 Term Loan may be reduced at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. There

are no mandatory prepayments or amortization required in connection with the loans made under the 2026 Term Loan.

Loans made under the 2026 Term Loan will be guaranteed by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

The 2026 Term Loan also contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, in

each case, that are substantially consistent with the representations and warranties and covenants contained in the 2026

Revolver and which include a financial covenant to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, subject to an

increase, at our election, to 4.00 to 1.00 for each of the four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition.

The 2026 Term Loan also contains customary events of default that are substantially consistent with the events of default

contained in the 2026 Revolver. In the case of a continuing event of default, the administrative agent would be entitled to

exercise various remedies, including the acceleration of amounts due under any outstanding loan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

We are a global biotechnology company that invests in scientific innovation to create transformative medicines for

people with serious diseases, with a focus on specialty markets. We have seven approved medicines: five that treat the

underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (“CF”), a life-threatening genetic disease, one that treats severe sickle cell disease

(“SCD”) and transfusion dependent beta thalassemia (“TDT”), life shortening inherited blood disorders, and one that treats

moderate-to-severe acute pain. We are also preparing for the anticipated launch of povetacicept, a potential treatment for IgA

nephropathy (“IgAN”). Our clinical-stage pipeline spans a range of programs targeting CF, SCD, beta thalassemia,

neuropathic pain, type 1 diabetes, IgA nephropathy, primary membranous nephropathy and other autoimmune diseases and

cytopenias, APOL1-mediated kidney disease, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and myotonic dystrophy type 1,

reflecting our commitment to addressing significant unmet medical needs globally.

Financial Highlights


Total Revenues	In the second quarter of 2026, our total revenues increased to $3.3 billion as compared to $3.0 billion in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to continued performance of our CF therapies and growth from diversification into additional disease areas.
Cost of Sales	Our cost of sales as a percentage of our net product revenues increased to 14.7% in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to 13.8% in the second quarter of 2025, as a result of changes in product mix, partially offset by a lower blended royalty rate for our CF medicines.
Total R&D, AIPR&D and SG&A Expenses	Our total research and development (“R&D”), acquired in-process research and development expenses (“AIPR&D”) and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased to $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to increased investment to commercialize our new products.
Cash	Our total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased to $13.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 as compared to $12.3 billion as of December 31, 2025 primarily due to cash flows provided by our operating activities, partially offset by repurchases of our common stock.

Business Updates

Marketed Products

Cystic Fibrosis

We expect that the number of people with CF taking our medicines will continue to grow through new approvals and

reimbursement agreements, treatment of younger patients, increased survival and expansion into additional geographies.

Recent progress in activities expanding our CF business is included below:

•In the second quarter of 2026, we secured reimbursement for ALYFTREK in four additional countries, including

Spain, bringing the total number of countries where ALYFTREK is reimbursed to 25. We also signed a letter of

intent with the Pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance for reimbursement of ALYFTREK for eligible patients six

years of age and older in Canada.

Table of Contents

Sickle Cell Disease and Beta Thalassemia

•In the second quarter of 2026, we recorded $76.4 million of CASGEVY product revenues, representing a 78%

increase compared to the first quarter of 2026 and a 151% increase compared to the second quarter of 2025.

•The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approved CASGEVY in children two years of age and older

with SCD or TDT, making it the first genetic therapy indicated for children as young as two years of age for both

SCD and TDT. Approximately 5,500 patients with SCD or TDT may be eligible for treatment with CASGEVY for

the first time with this approval. We also completed regulatory submissions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“Saudi

Arabia”) and the United Kingdom for the treatment of children five to eleven years of age.

•In May, we secured reimbursement for CASGEVY for eligible patients 12 years and older with SCD or TDT in

Germany. We are committed to working with government and reimbursement authorities globally to ensure

sustainable access for eligible patients.

Acute Pain

•In the second quarter of 2026, we recorded $49.6 million of JOURNAVX product revenues, representing a 71%

increase compared to the first quarter of 2026 and a more than 300% increase compared to the second quarter of

2025.

•In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, approximately 535,000 and 900,000 prescriptions, respectively,

have been filled for JOURNAVX across the hospital and retail settings.

•We have reached agreements with two additional major pharmacy benefit managers for Medicare Part D coverage of

JOURNAVX. As a result, seniors covered by three of the four major Medicare Part D pharmacy benefit managers

have reimbursed access. Twenty-three states provide coverage for JOURNAVX via Medicaid. In total,

approximately 260 million individuals have reimbursed access to JOURNAVX across a wide range of commercial

and government payers.

Pipeline

We continue to advance a diversified pipeline of potentially transformative medicines for serious diseases utilizing a

range of modalities. Recent and anticipated progress in activities supporting these efforts is included below:

Cystic Fibrosis

•Following positive results from the Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ALYFTREK in children with CF two to five

years of age, we initiated global regulatory submissions for this age group.

Acute and Peripheral Neuropathic Pain

•During the second quarter of 2026, Health Canada accepted our new drug submission for suzetrigine for the

treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain, and review is underway.

•We expect to complete enrollment in both Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating suzetrigine in diabetic peripheral

neuropathy, a form of peripheral neuropathic pain, by the end of 2026.

IgA Nephropathy and Other B Cell-Mediated Diseases

•We are developing povetacicept, a dual inhibitor of B cell activating factor (“BAFF”) and a proliferation-inducing

ligand (“APRIL”) cytokines, for multiple diseases. Povetacicept represents a potentially best-in-class approach to

control B cell activity in IgAN.

•The FDA accepted our biologics license application for accelerated approval of povetacicept for adults with IgAN

and assigned a PDUFA target action date of November 30, 2026. If approved, povetacicept will become the first

commercialized therapy in our emerging nephrology franchise.

•We have completed our regulatory submission for accelerated approval of povetacicept in adults with IgAN in Saudi

Arabia, and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority has granted Breakthrough Designation to povetacicept.

•Povetacicept represents a potentially best-in-class approach to control B cell activity in primary membranous

nephropathy (“pMN”), another B cell-mediated disease. We completed the Phase 2B portion of the Phase 2/3

Table of Contents

OLYMPUS pivotal trial evaluating povetacicept in people with pMN, and we confirmed the dose selection for the

Phase 3 portion, which is underway.

APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease

•Inaxaplin is our small molecule for the treatment of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (“AMKD”). We expect to

complete full enrollment in the AMPLITUDE Phase 2/3 pivotal clinical trial evaluating inaxaplin in the second half

of 2026.

•We expect to share data from the interim analysis of the AMPLITUDE clinical trial in early 2027. We expect to

conduct the pre-planned interim analysis for potential U.S. accelerated approval once the interim analysis cohort has

been treated for 48 weeks.

Type 1 Diabetes

•Zimislecel is an allogeneic, stem cell-derived, fully differentiated, insulin-producing islet cell replacement therapy,

using standard immunosuppression to protect the implanted cells. We are enrolling and dosing patients in the Phase

1/2/3 clinical trial of zimislecel in people with type 1 diabetes (“T1D”).

•The FDA cleared the Investigational New Drug Application for VX-017, our stem cell-derived, fully differentiated

islet cell therapy designed to treat all eligible patients with T1D, regardless of blood type. We plan to initiate a Phase

1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VX-017 in people with T1D in the near term.

•We expect to provide updated timelines for the zimislecel and VX-017 programs in 2026.

Investment in External Innovation

•In July, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Crinetics Merger Agreement”) to acquire all of the

issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Crinetics”) for $85.00 per share

in cash, for a total equity value of approximately $10.0 billion (the “Crinetics Acquisition”). We expect the

transaction to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to certain customary conditions. Crinetics’ PALSONIFY®

(paltusotine) is a once-daily oral therapy for adults with acromegaly, a rare and debilitating condition caused by a

pituitary tumor that secretes excess growth hormone, who had an inadequate response to surgery and/or for whom

surgery is not an option. PALSONIFY is approved by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency, and is under

review by other global regulatory bodies. Crinetics’ most advanced pipeline candidate, atumelnant, is a once-daily

oral adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor antagonist in Phase 3 development for congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Our Business Environment

In the first half of 2026, our total product revenues came primarily from the sale of our medicines for the treatment of

CF. Our CF strategy involves continuing to develop and obtain approval and reimbursement for treatment regimens that will

provide benefits to all people with CF and increasing the number of people with CF eligible and able to receive our

medicines. Outside of CF, we continue to advance the commercialization of CASGEVY for the treatment of SCD and TDT,

and JOURNAVX for the treatment of acute pain, and we are preparing for a potential launch of povetacicept for the treatment

of IgAN. In addition, we are advancing our pipeline of product candidates for the treatment of serious diseases outside of CF,

SCD, TDT and acute pain.

Our strategy is to combine transformative advances in the understanding of causal human biology and the science of

therapeutics to discover and develop innovative medicines. This approach includes advancing multiple compounds or

therapies from each program, spanning multiple modalities, into early clinical trials to obtain patient data that can inform

selection of the most promising therapies for later-stage development, as well as to inform discovery and development

efforts. We aim to serially innovate in our disease areas of interest and follow our first-in-class therapies with potential best-

in-class candidates to provide durable clinical and commercial success.

In pursuit of new product candidates and therapies in specialty markets, we invest in research and development. We

believe that pursuing research in diverse areas allows us to balance the risks inherent in product development and may

provide product candidates that will form our pipeline in future years. To supplement our internal research programs, we

acquire technologies and programs and collaborate with biopharmaceutical and technology companies, leading academic

research institutions, government laboratories, foundations and other organizations, as needed, to advance research in our

areas of therapeutic interest and to access technologies needed to execute on our strategy.

Table of Contents

Discovery and development of a new pharmaceutical or biological product is a difficult and lengthy process that requires

significant financial resources along with extensive technical and regulatory expertise. Across the industry, most potential

drug or biological products never progress into development, and most products that advance into development never receive

marketing approval. Our investments in product candidates are subject to considerable risks. We closely monitor our research

and development activities, and frequently evaluate our pipeline programs in light of new data and scientific, business and

commercial insights, with the objective of balancing risk and potential. This process can result in rapid changes in focus and

priorities as new information becomes available and as we gain additional understanding of our ongoing programs and

potential new programs, as well as those of our competitors. In addition, our product candidates must satisfy rigorous

standards of safety and efficacy before they can be approved for sale by regulatory authorities. Our analysis of data obtained

from nonclinical and clinical activities is subject to confirmation and interpretation by regulatory authorities, which could

delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval.

Our business also requires ensuring appropriate manufacturing and supply of our products. As we advance our product

candidates through clinical development toward commercialization and market and sell our approved products, we build and

maintain our supply chain and quality assurance resources. We rely on a global network of third parties, including some in

China, and our internal capabilities to manufacture and distribute our products for commercial sale and post-approval clinical

trials and to manufacture and distribute our product candidates for clinical trials. In addition to establishing supply chains for

each newly approved product, we adapt our supply chain for existing products to include additional formulations or to

increase scale of production for existing products as needed. The processes for biological and cell and genetic therapies can

be more complex than those required for small molecule drugs and require additional investments in different systems,

equipment, facilities and expertise. We are focused on ensuring the stability of the supply chains for our current products, as

well as for our pipeline programs.

Sales of our products depend, to a large degree, on the extent to which our products are reimbursed by third-party payors,

such as government health programs, commercial insurance and managed health care organizations. Reimbursement for our

products, including our potential pipeline therapies, cannot be assured and may take significant periods of time to obtain. We

dedicate substantial management and other resources to obtain and maintain appropriate levels of reimbursement for our

products from third-party payors, including governmental organizations in the U.S. and ex-U.S. markets. In the U.S., we

work with government and commercial payors to obtain and maintain appropriate levels of reimbursement for our medicines.

In ex-U.S. markets, we seek government reimbursement for our medicines on a country-by-country or region-by-region, as

required. This is necessary for each new medicine, as well as for label expansions for our current medicines. We expect to

continue to focus significant resources to expand and maintain reimbursement for our CF medicines, CASGEVY,

JOURNAVX, and, ultimately, our pipeline therapies, in U.S. and ex-U.S. markets.

Strategic Transactions

Acquisitions

As part of our business strategy, we seek to license or acquire technologies, products, product candidates and businesses

that are aligned with our corporate and research and development strategies and complement and advance our ongoing

research and development efforts. We have acquired multiple biotechnology companies over the last several years and expect

to continue to identify and evaluate such opportunities. The accounting for an acquisition can vary significantly based on

whether we conclude the relevant transaction represents a business combination or asset acquisition.

In 2024, we acquired Alpine Immune Sciences, Inc. (“Alpine”) and its lead molecule, povetacicept, for approximately

$5.0 billion. Povetacicept, has shown potential to treat multiple diseases or conditions and become a pipeline-in-a-product.

We accounted for the Alpine transaction as an asset acquisition because povetacicept represented substantially all of the fair

value of the gross assets that we acquired. As a result, $4.4 billion of the fair value attributed to povetacicept was expensed as

AIPR&D in 2024.

In July 2026, we entered into the Crinetics Merger Agreement to acquire Crinetics as described above. Crinetics is a

publicly traded biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel therapeutics for

endocrine diseases and endocrine-related tumors. We will acquire Crinetics for $85.00 per share in cash, for a total equity

value of approximately $10.0 billion. We expect to fund the acquisition with our cash, cash equivalents, and proceeds from

the 2026 Term Loan, as defined below. The Crinetics Acquisition is not conditioned on our receipt of financing. We will

account for the acquisition in the period that it closes.

Collaboration and In-Licensing Arrangements

We enter into arrangements with third parties, including collaboration and licensing arrangements, for the development,

manufacture and commercialization of products, product candidates and other technologies that have the potential to

complement our ongoing research and development efforts.

Over the last several years, we entered into collaboration agreements with a number of companies, including CRISPR

Therapeutics AG (“CRISPR”) and Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (“Entrada”).

Generally, when we in-license a technology or product candidate, we make upfront payments to the collaborator, assume

the costs of the program and/or agree to make contingent payments, which could consist of milestone, royalty and option

payments. Most of these collaboration payments are expensed as AIPR&D because they were primarily attributable to

acquired in-process research and development for which there was no alternative future use. However, depending on many

factors, including the structure of the collaboration, the stage of development of the acquired technology, the significance of

the in-licensed product candidate to the collaborator’s operations and the other activities in which our collaborators are

engaged, the accounting for these transactions can vary significantly. We expect to continue to identify and evaluate

collaboration and licensing opportunities that may be similar to or different from the collaborations and licenses that we have

engaged in previously.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses

In the first half of 2026 and 2025, our AIPR&D included $21.9 million and $22.0 million, respectively, related to

upfront, contingent milestone, or other payments pursuant to our business development transactions, including the asset

acquisitions, collaborations, and licenses of third-party technologies described above. Please refer to Note B, “Collaboration,

License and Other Arrangements,” for further information regarding our asset acquisitions, collaborations and in-license

agreements.

Out-licensing Arrangements

We also have out-licensed certain development programs to collaborators who are leading the development or

commercialization of these programs, either globally or within certain geographic regions.

In January 2025 and June 2025, we entered into agreements with Zai Lab Limited (“Zai”) and Ono Pharmaceuticals Co.,

Ltd (“Ono”), respectively, for the development and commercialization of povetacicept in various Asian markets. Zai licensed

povetacicept for mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Taiwan region and Singapore, while Ono licensed

povetacicept for Japan and South Korea. Zai and Ono will help advance povetacicept clinical trials, and will be responsible

for obtaining marketing authorizations and commercialization activities, if povetacicept becomes an approved product, in

their licensed territories. We are eligible to receive certain future milestone payments and tiered royalties on future net sales

of povetacicept in these regions.

Product Revenues, Net

In the second quarter and first half of 2026, our net product revenues increased 13% and 11%, as compared to the second

quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, primarily due to continued performance of our CF therapies and growth from

diversification into additional disease areas.

Other Revenues

In the second quarter of 2025, our other revenues included a $20.6 million upfront payment received from our

collaboration agreement with Ono Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. In the first half of 2025, our other revenues also included a

$10.0 million upfront payment received from our collaboration agreement with Zai Lab Limited.

Total Revenues by Geographic Location

Our total revenues from the U.S. and from ex-U.S. markets were as follows:

Total revenues	$3,333.9	$2,964.7	12%	$6,320.8	$5,734.9	10%

In the second quarter and first half of 2026, our U.S. total revenues increased 11% and 9%, as compared to the second

quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, primarily due to continued strong patient demand, including from new initiations

of ALYFTREK, and higher realized net prices in CF, and contributions from CASGEVY and JOURNAVX.

In the second quarter and first half of 2026, our ex-U.S. total revenues increased 14% and 12%, as compared to the

second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, primarily due to strong CF performance across multiple geographies,

including ALYFTREK uptake, increased CASGEVY product revenues, and favorable impacts from foreign exchange.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales primarily consists of third-party royalties payable on net sales of our CF products as well as the cost of

producing inventories. Our cost of sales as a percentage of our net product revenues increased to 14.7% and 14.0% in the

second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, as compared to 13.8% and 13.5% in the second quarter and first half of

2025, respectively, as a result of changes in product mix, partially offset by a lower blended royalty rate for our CF

medicines.

Pursuant to our agreement (the “CFF Agreement”) with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (the “CFF”), our tiered third-

party royalties on sales of ALYFTREK, TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO, SYMDEKO/SYMKEVI, KALYDECO, and ORKAMBI,

calculated as a percentage of net sales, range from the single digits to the sub-teens, with lower royalties on sales of

ALYFTREK and TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO than for our other products. The royalty burden associated with TRIKAFTA/

KAFTRIO is 9.33%, and our position is that the royalty burden associated with ALYFTREK is 4%. On October 10, 2025,

Royalty Pharma plc (“RP”), the third party to whom the CFF assigned its rights (and the CFF, which remains a party to the

CFF Agreement), initiated a confidential arbitration alleging the royalty burden on ALYFTREK is approximately 8%. RP is

seeking a declaratory judgment regarding the royalty burden on ALYFTREK as well as alleged unpaid royalties and other

alleged damages available under the CFF Agreement or applicable law, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and interest. We

believe RP’s position is contrary to the plain terms of the CFF Agreement and intend to vigorously defend our position under

the CFF Agreement.

Total development expenses	$786.5	$769.1	2%	$1,543.1	$1,542.7	—%

As we have advanced our pipeline of transformative medicines, we have invested in internal headcount and infrastructure

to support multiple mid- and late-stage clinical development programs, including our povetacicept, T1D, peripheral

neuropathic pain and AMKD programs. We expect to continue to invest in these programs, launch new products and advance

our pipeline going forward. Our outsourced services and other direct expenses were lower as compared to the first half of

2025 due to the discontinuation of certain clinical programs during 2025.

Our research and development expenses include internal and external costs incurred for research and development of our

products and product candidates. We assign external costs of services provided to us by clinical research organizations and

other outsourced research by individual program. Our internal costs include salary and benefits, stock-based compensation

expense, laboratory supplies and other direct expenses and infrastructure costs, the majority of which are not assigned to

individual products or product candidates. Our stock-based compensation expenses, including those recorded as research and

development expenses, have historically fluctuated and are expected to continue to fluctuate from one period to another

primarily due to changes in the probability of achieving milestones associated with our performance-based awards.

AIPR&D in the second quarters and first halves of 2026 and 2025 included various upfront and milestone payments

related to our collaboration and in-licensing arrangements. Our AIPR&D has historically fluctuated, and is expected to

continue to fluctuate, from one period to another due to upfront, contingent milestone, and other payments pursuant to our

existing and future business development transactions, including collaborations, licenses of third-party technologies, and

asset acquisitions.

	(in millions, except percentages)
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$582.2	$424.6	37%	$1,075.9	$821.0	31%

In the second quarter and first half of 2026, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 37% and 31%

as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2025, respectively, primarily due to increased internal headcount and

commercial investment to support JOURNAVX and the anticipated launch of povetacicept in IgAN. We expect to continue to

invest in our commercialization capabilities in support of our current and future product launches.

Intangible Asset Impairment Charge

In the first quarter of 2025, based on results from a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating our VX-264 clinical program in

patients with T1D, we concluded that VX-264 will not be advancing further in clinical development. Based on this event, we

performed an interim impairment test on the fair value of our VX-264 indefinite-lived in-process research and development

asset. As a result, we recorded a full intangible asset impairment charge of $379.0 million associated with VX-264 in the first

quarter of 2025.

Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net

Interest Income, Net

Our net interest income of $120.6 million and $235.4 million in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively,

was similar to our net interest income of $118.7 million and $236.6 million of net interest income in the second quarter and

first half of 2025, respectively. Due to our anticipated acquisition of Crinetics in the third quarter of 2026, we expect our

future net interest income to decrease.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was income of $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, $13.2 million in the second

quarter of 2025, and $24.3 million in the first half of 2026, and net expenses of $4.4 million in the first half of 2025. Our

other income (expense), net in the second quarter and first half of 2026 was primarily due to a realized gain associated with

one of our strategic investments. Our other income (expense), net in the second quarter and first half of 2025 was primarily

due to net unrealized and realized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of certain of our strategic equity

investments and net foreign currency exchange gains and losses

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate fluctuates from period to period due to the global nature of our operations. The factors that most

significantly impact our effective tax rate include changes in tax laws, excess tax benefits related to stock-based

compensation, variability in the amount and allocation of our taxable earnings among multiple jurisdictions, the amount and

characterization of our research and development expenses, the levels of certain deductions and credits, adjustments to the

value of our uncertain tax positions, acquisitions and third-party collaboration and licensing transactions.

In July 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R.1, which includes significant provisions modifying the U.S. tax framework, including

the ability for companies to immediately deduct research and development expenditures for 2025 and provisions for

deducting previously capitalized amounts. H.R.1 does not have a material impact on our U.S. taxes for the first half of 2026,

but we expect further guidance to be issued. We will review guidance when issued for impacts on future years and disclose

any impacts if needed at that time. These legislative changes could have an impact on our future effective tax rates, tax

liabilities, and cash taxes.

Our effective tax rate of 19.4% in the first half of 2026 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate, primarily due to excess tax

benefits related to stock-based compensation. Our effective tax rate of 16.6% in the first half of 2025 was lower than the U.S.

statutory rate, primarily due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and tax credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table summarizes the components of our financial condition as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


	As of June 30, 2026	As of December 31, 2025	Change

	(in millions, except percentages)
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities:
Cash and cash equivalents	$6,143.5	$5,084.8

Total current liabilities	(3,937.9)	(3,861.2)	2%
Total working capital	$8,605.8	$7,339.8	17%

Working Capital

As of June 30, 2026, total working capital was $8.6 billion, which represented an increase of $1.3 billion, or 17%,

compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to increased cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities resulting from

the continued performance of our CF therapies.

Cash Flows

Operating activities	$2,553.5	$1,892.0
Investing activities	$(477.7)	$(540.3)
Financing activities	$(965.5)	$(1,029.6)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $2.6 billion in the first half of 2026, as compared to $1.9 billion in the

first half of 2025, primarily due to increased net product revenues, the timing of income tax payments, and reduced purchases

of inventory.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $477.7 million and $540.3 million in the first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively,

were primarily related to net purchases of available-for-sale debt securities and property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $965.5 million and $1.0 billion in the first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively, were

primarily related to repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase programs and payments in connection

with common stock withheld for employee tax obligations.

Table of Contents

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

We intend to rely on our existing cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities together with our operating

profitability as our primary source of liquidity. We expect that cash flows from our product sales together with our cash, cash

equivalents and current marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. In

July 2026, we entered into the Crinetics Merger Agreement to acquire Crinetics for $85.00 per share in cash, for a total equity

value of approximately $10.0 billion, which we will fund with our cash, cash equivalents, and proceeds from the 2026 Term

Loan, as defined below.

The adequacy of our available funds to meet our future operating and capital requirements will depend on many factors,

including our future sales of currently marketed products, and the potential introduction of one or more new product

candidates to the market, our business development activities, and the number, breadth and cost of our research and

development programs.

Credit Facilities & Financing Strategy

In July 2026, we entered into a $4.5 billion term loan credit agreement (the “2026 Term Loan”), which we plan to use to

finance the Crinetics Acquisition, and can be prepaid without penalty. We may also borrow up to a total of $500.0 million

pursuant to a revolving credit facility that we entered into in July 2026 (the “2026 Revolver”) and could repay and reborrow

amounts under this revolving credit agreement without penalty. Subject to certain conditions, we could request that the

borrowing capacity be increased by an additional $500.0 million, for a total of $1.0 billion. Covenants in the 2026 Term Loan

and the 2026 Revolver could prohibit or limit our ability to access these sources of liquidity.

Future Capital Requirements

We have significant future capital requirements, including:

•We expect to acquire Crinetics in the third quarter of 2026, which we intend to fund with our cash, cash equivalents,

and proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan described above.

•Expected operating expenses to conduct research and development activities, manufacture and commercialize our

existing and future products, and to operate our organization.

•Cash that we pay for income taxes.

•Royalties we pay related to sales of our CF products.

•Facility, operating and finance lease obligations.

•Firm purchase obligations related to our supply and manufacturing processes.

In addition, other potential significant future capital requirements may include:

•We have entered into certain agreements with third parties that include the funding of certain research, development,

manufacturing and commercialization efforts. Certain of our transactions, including collaborations, licensing

arrangements, and asset acquisitions, include the potential for future milestone and royalty payments by us upon the

achievement of pre-established developmental and regulatory targets and/or commercial targets. Other transactions

include the potential for future lease-related expenses and other costs. Our obligation to fund these research and

development and commercialization efforts and to pay these potential milestones, expenses and royalties is

contingent upon continued involvement in the programs and/or the lack of any adverse events that could cause their

discontinuance. We may enter into additional agreements, including acquisitions, collaborations, licensing

arrangements and equity investments, which require additional capital.

•To the extent we borrow amounts under the 2026 Revolver, we would be required to repay any outstanding principal

amounts in July 2031.

•To the extent we borrow amounts under the 2026 Term Loan discussed above, we will be required to repay a portion

of any outstanding principal on each of the first three anniversaries from the date upon which we borrowed against

the 2026 Term Loan, including $1.0 billion on the first anniversary.

Table of Contents

•As of June 30, 2026, we had $2.6 billion remaining available under the share repurchase program that our Board of

Directors authorized in May 2025. The program does not have an expiration date and can be discontinued at any

time. We expect to fund the program through a combination of cash on hand and cash generated by operations.

Other than our anticipated payment to acquire Crinetics and our entry into the 2026 Term Loan noted above, there have

not been any material changes to our future capital requirements disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 13, 2026.

We may also raise additional capital by borrowing under credit agreements, through public offerings or private

placements of our securities, or securing new collaborative agreements or other methods of financing. We will continue to

manage our capital structure and will consider all financing opportunities, whenever they may occur, that could strengthen

our long-term liquidity profile. There can be no assurance that any such financing opportunities will be available on

acceptable terms, if at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed

consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The

preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated

financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. These items are

monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates

could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which the change occurs. We

base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the

circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be

substantially accurate. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting

policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the

SEC on February 13, 2026.

which was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management (under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial

officer), after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and

15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly

Report on Form 10-Q, has concluded that, based on such evaluation, as of June 30, 2026 our disclosure controls and

procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed is

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In designing

and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no

matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives,

and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible

controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that has materially

affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Other than as described in Part I—Note L, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our condensed consolidated financial

statements, we are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The information presented below supplements the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026.

We may be unable to complete the Crinetics Acquisition, successfully integrate Crinetics’ business, or realize the

potential commercial benefits of the strategic acquisition, which could adversely affect our business and financial

condition.

Our inability to complete the Crinetics Acquisition or to successfully integrate the Crinetics business could have a

material adverse effect on our business. The Crinetics Acquisition may not be completed for a number of reasons, including

the need to satisfy customary closing conditions, the need for antitrust and/or other regulatory approvals, as well as potential

disputes or litigation that may arise. We provide no assurance that the Crinetics Acquisition will occur or that the closing

conditions to the Crinetics Acquisition will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. Our realization of the value from the

Crinetics Acquisition relies on successful integration of its operations. We may not be able to integrate Crinetics’ business

successfully into our existing business, make Crinetics’ business profitable, retain key employees or realize anticipated cost

savings or synergies, if any, from the acquisition, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Further,

our ongoing business may be disrupted, and our management's attention may be diverted by integration activities. In addition,

the anticipated benefits of the Crinetics Acquisition depend on revenues from PALSONIFY and the commercial potential of

atumelnant. If PALSONIFY does not achieve the sales, market acceptance, or other commercial performance we expect, if

development of atumelnant is delayed or terminated, or if we fail to obtain approval or fail to successfully commercialize

atumelnant, we may not realize the expected revenue growth or income contribution from these assets on the anticipated

timeline, or at all, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

Our policy governing transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, and employees permits our officers,

directors and employees to enter into trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

as amended (each a “Trading Plan”). In the second quarter of 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted, modified or

terminated a Trading Plan.

Entry into 2026 Revolver

On July 30, 2026, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2026 Revolver”), with Vertex Pharmaceuticals

(Europe) Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex,

as a co-borrower, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Ireland) Limited, a private company limited by shares incorporated in Ireland and

a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vertex, as a co-borrower, certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of Vertex party thereto as

subsidiary guarantors, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which

provides for a $500 million senior unsecured revolving facility. Up to $100 million of the senior unsecured revolving facility

may be allocated for loans and letters of credit in certain non-U.S. Dollar currencies (the “Alternative Currencies”). The 2026

Revolver also provides that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, we may request that the borrowing capacity under

the 2026 Revolver be increased by an additional $500 million. Proceeds of borrowings under the 2026 Revolver will be used

for general corporate purposes. The outstanding loans under the 2026 Revolver mature, and the unused commitments

thereunder terminate, on July 30, 2031.

U.S. Dollar-denominated loans made under the 2026 Revolver will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal

to either a base rate or a SOFR-based rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Under the 2026 Revolver, the applicable

margin on base rate loans ranges from 0.000% to 0.500% and the applicable margin on SOFR-based loans ranges from

0.875% to 1.500% (such margin, the “Applicable Benchmark Margin”), in each case, depending upon, either (x) Vertex’s

consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio for the most recently completed four fiscal quarter period or

(y) to the extent available, Vertex’s credit rating. Alternative Currency-denominated loans will bear interest at a rate per

annum equal to the applicable benchmark rate for such Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Benchmark Margin. Loans

made under the 2026 Revolver may be prepaid at par and commitments under the 2026 Revolver may be reduced at any time,

in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for customary SOFR breakage costs).

Loans made under the 2026 Revolver will be guaranteed by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries,

subject to certain customary exceptions and limitations.

The 2026 Revolver contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, which

include limitations on subsidiary debt, liens and fundamental changes, as well as a financial covenant to maintain a

consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, subject to an increase, at Vertex’s election, to 4.00 to 1.00 for each of the four

fiscal quarters following a material acquisition.

The 2026 Revolver also contains customary events of default. In the case of a continuing event of default, the

administrative agent would be entitled to exercise various remedies, including the acceleration of amounts due under any

outstanding loan.

Table of Contents

The foregoing summary of the 2026 Revolver is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and

complete 2026 Revolver, a copy of which will be filed with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended

September 30, 2026.

Termination of 2022 Revolver

On July 30, 2026, we terminated and repaid all outstanding obligations under our existing credit agreement, dated as of

July 1, 2022, as amended, with certain subsidiaries party thereto as co-borrowers and/or guarantors, the lenders and issuing

banks party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “2022 Revolver”). In connection with the

termination of the 2022 Revolver, all guarantees thereunder were terminated and released.

Entry into 2026 Term Loan

On July 30, 2026, we entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “2026 Term Loan”), with certain wholly-owned

subsidiaries of Vertex party thereto as subsidiary guarantors, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and Bank of

America, N.A., as administrative agent, which provides for a $4.5 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan A facility,

comprised of (a) a $1,000,000,000 tranche that will mature and be payable in full on the date that is 364 days after the date on

which the borrowing under the 2026 Term Loan is made (such date, the “Funding Date” and such loans, the “Tranche 1

Loans”), (b) a $1,000,000,000 tranche that will mature and be payable in full on the date that is two (2) years following the

Funding Date (the “Tranche 2 Loans”) and (c) a $2,500,000,000 tranche that will mature and be payable in full on the date

that is three (3) years following the Funding Date (the “Tranche 3 Loans”). Proceeds of borrowings under the 2026 Term

Loan will be used to finance in part the Crinetics Acquisition that was announced on July 6, 2026. The Funding Date under

the 2026 Term Loan is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the substantially concurrent

consummation of the Crinetics Acquisition.

Loans made under the 2026 Term Loan will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to either a base rate or

a SOFR-based rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. Under the 2026 Term Loan, the applicable margin on base rate

loans ranges from 0.000% to 0.500% for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Loans and from 0.000% to 0.625% for Tranche 3 Loans,

and the applicable margin on SOFR-based loans ranges from 0.8750% to 1.500% for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Loans and

from 1.000% to 1.625% for Tranche 3 Loans (such margin, the “Applicable Benchmark Margin”), in each case, depending

upon, either (x) Vertex’s consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio for the most recently completed

four fiscal quarter period or (y) to the extent available, Vertex’s credit rating. Loans made under the 2026 Term Loan may be

prepaid at par and commitments under the 2026 Term Loan may be reduced at any time, in whole or in part, without premium

or penalty (except for customary SOFR breakage costs). There are no mandatory prepayments or amortization required in

connection with the loans made under the 2026 Term Loan.

Loans made under the 2026 Term Loan will be guaranteed by our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that

guarantee the obligations under the 2026 Revolver.

The 2026 Term Loan contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, in each

case, that are substantially consistent with the representations and warranties and covenants contained in the 2026 Revolver

and which include a financial covenant to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, subject to an increase, at

Vertex’s election, to 4.00 to 1.00 for each of the four fiscal quarters following a material acquisition.

The 2026 Term Loan also contains customary events of default that are substantially consistent with the events of default

contained in the 2026 Revolver. In the case of a continuing event of default, the administrative agent would be entitled to

exercise various remedies, including the acceleration of amounts due under any outstanding loan.

The foregoing summary of the 2026 Term Loan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and

complete 2026 Term Loan, a copy of which will be filed with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended

September 30, 2026.
