NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Business
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the Company), is a biopharmaceutical company focused on turning scientific promise into meaningful innovation that makes the difference for underserved neurological and rare disease communities around the world.
In April 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Company’s first drug, NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin), for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis (PDP). NUPLAZID became available for prescription in the United States in May 2016.
In March 2023, the FDA approved the Company’s second drug, DAYBUE® (trofinetide), for the treatment of Rett syndrome. DAYBUE became available for prescription in the United States in April 2023.
In October 2024, Health Canada granted marketing authorization of DAYBUE® (trofinetide) for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.
In December 2025, the FDA approved DAYBUE® STIX (trofinetide), a dye- and preservative-free powder formulation, for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adult and pediatric patients 2 years and older. DAYBUE STIX was available on a limited basis starting in the first quarter of 2026 followed by a broader launch early in the second quarter of 2026.
In December 2025, the Ministry of Health in Israel approved DAYBUE® (trofinetide) for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older and weighing at least 9 kg.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Unless the context requires otherwise, DAYBUE, DAYBUE STIX, and DAYBU, if approved, are collectively referred to as DAYBUE products.
Risk and Uncertainties
Global economic and business activities continue to face widespread macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflation and monetary supply shifts, recession risks, volatility and disruptions in global credit and financial markets, potential disruptions from geopolitical and military conflicts and related sanctions and tariffs and trade tensions. The Company continues to actively monitor the impact of these macroeconomic factors on its financial condition, liquidity, operations and workforce. The extent of the impact of these factors on the Company’s operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute its business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted; however, any continued or renewed disruption resulting from these factors could negatively impact the Company’s business.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Beginning of period End of period Beginning of period End of period
Cash and cash equivalents $ 177,695 $ 384,985 $ 319,589 $ 253,637
Restricted cash 7,845 7,846 8,770 9,471
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows $ 185,540 $ 392,831 $ 328,359 $ 263,108
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of customer allowances for distribution fees, prompt payment discounts, chargebacks, and credit losses. Allowances for distribution fees, prompt payment discounts and chargebacks are based on contractual terms. The Company estimated the current expected credit losses of its accounts receivable by assessing the risk of loss and available relevant information about collectability, including historical credit losses, existing contractual payment terms, actual payment patterns of its customers, individual customer circumstances, and reasonable and supportable forecast of economic conditions expected to exist throughout the contractual life of the receivable. Based on its assessment, as of June 30, 2026, the Company determined that an allowance for credit loss was not required.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company uses the standard cost method to determine the cost basis for its inventory, which approximates actual cost under the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists of raw material, work in process, and finished goods, including third-party manufacturing costs, freight, and indirect overhead costs. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with its products upon regulatory approval when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed. Prior to FDA approval of NUPLAZID in April 2016 and DAYBUE in March 2023, all costs related to the manufacturing of NUPLAZID and DAYBUE were charged to research and development expense in the period incurred. The Company periodically reviews inventory and reduces the carrying value of items to net realizable value for potentially excess, dated or obsolete inventory based on an analysis of forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand and any firm purchase orders, as well as product shelf life.
Revenues
The Company operates in one business segment. Results of its operations are reported on a consolidated basis for purposes of segment reporting, consistent with internal management reporting. Revenues consist of net product sales to customers, substantially all of which are sales in North America. Revenues by product are as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2026 2025 2026 2025
NUPLAZID $ 183,132 $ 168,479 $ 350,056 $ 328,199
DAYBUE products 124,827 96,087 225,965 180,683
Product sales, net $ 307,959 $ 264,566 $ 576,021 $ 508,882
License Fees and Royalties
The Company expenses amounts paid to acquire licenses associated with products under development when the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid is uncertain and the technology has no alternative future use when acquired. Acquisitions of technology licenses are charged to expense or capitalized based upon management’s assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future use. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its product candidates is reached when the requisite regulatory approvals are obtained to make the product available for sale.
7
Pursuant to the license agreement with Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited (Neuren), the Company has capitalized a total of $138.8 million as intangible assets following the FDA approval, sale of DAYBUE and sale of a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV), as disclosed in Note 9. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the licensed patents through early 2036. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded amortization expense related to these intangible assets of $2.7 million in each period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded amortization expense related to these intangible assets of $5.4 million in each period. As of June 30, 2026, estimated future amortization expense related to the Company’s intangible assets was $5.4 million for the remainder of 2026, and $10.9 million for each subsequent year.
Royalties incurred in connection with the Company’s license agreement with Neuren, as disclosed in Note 9, are expensed to cost of product sales when the related product sales revenue is recognized.
Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and, if applicable, impairment charges. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is recorded over the assets’ estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis or based on the pattern in which economic benefits are consumed, if reliably determinable. We review our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of intangible assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the intangible assets. No impairment loss was recorded on intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Segment Reporting
The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is internally provided to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is considered the Company’s CODM, in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has determined that it operates as a single business segment, which is the development and commercialization of innovative medicines. Refer to Note 12 – Segment Reporting for further information related to the segment.
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. For purposes of diluted earnings per share calculation, equity awards and employee stock purchase plan rights are considered to be common stock equivalents.

4. Stock-Based Compensation
The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2026 2025 2026 2025
Cost of product sales $ 510 $ 18 $ 838 $ 352
Research and development 4,746 4,477 8,888 7,910
Selling, general and administrative 11,684 9,845 21,912 17,458
$ 16,940 $ 14,340 $ 31,638 $ 25,720
The fair value of each employee stock option and each employee stock purchase plan right granted is estimated on the grant date under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the Company to make a number of assumptions including the estimated expected life of the award and related volatility. The fair value of restricted stock units is estimated based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The estimated fair values of stock options, purchase plan rights, and restricted stock units are then expensed over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For restricted stock units requiring satisfaction of both market and service conditions, the estimated fair values are generally expensed over the longest of the explicit, implicit and derived service periods. Through 2023, the Company granted performance stock units that vest upon the achievement of certain pre-defined company-specific performance-based criteria. Expense related to these performance stock units is recognized ratably over the expected performance period once the pre-defined performance-based criteria for vesting becomes probable and can vest up to 200 percent of the target number of shares granted. The fair value of these performance stock units are estimated based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Beginning in 2024, the structure of the performance stock unit design was revised with a relative total shareholder return (rTSR) approach such that awards are earned for the Company’s rTSR performance over three-year measurement periods relative to a peer group of companies and the actual numbers of performance stock units that will vest at the end of the performance period may be anywhere from zero to 150 percent of the target number of shares granted. The fair value of these performance stock units is estimated using a Monte Carlo model because the performance target is based on a market condition. Expense related to these performance stock units are recognized ratably over the three-year measurement period.

At each reporting date, the Company performs an evaluation of impairment to determine if any unrealized losses are the result of credit losses. Impairment is assessed at the individual security level. Factors considered in determining whether a loss resulted from a credit loss or other factors include the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment until the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, any historical failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, any adverse legal or regulatory events affecting the issuer or issuer’s industry, any significant deterioration in economic conditions.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not intend to sell the investments in unrealized loss position and it was unlikely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. The Company has not historically experienced significant losses on its investments. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined its year-to-date credit losses related to its available-for-sale securities were immaterial at June 30, 2026.
7. Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s investments include cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities consisting of money market funds, U.S treasury notes, and government sponsored enterprises in accordance with the Company’s investment policy. The Company’s investment policy defines allowable investment securities and establishes guidelines relating to credit quality, diversification, and maturities of its investments to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. All investment securities have a credit rating of at least Aa3/AA- or better, or P-1/A-1 or better, as determined by Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s.
The Company’s cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities are classified within the fair value hierarchy as defined by authoritative guidance. The Company’s investment securities classified as Level 1 are valued using quoted market prices. The Company obtains the fair value of its Level 2 financial instruments from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, or other market-related data, are observable. The Company validates the prices provided by the third-party pricing services by reviewing their pricing methods and matrices, and obtaining market values from other pricing sources. After completing the validation procedures, the Company did not adjust or override any fair value measurements provided by these pricing services as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The Company has not transferred any investment securities between the classification levels.

8. Stockholders’ Equity
Performance Stock Units
In March 2024, the Company began to issue performance stock units (PSU) with a market condition that are earned based on the Company’s rTSR as compared to a peer group of companies measured over a three-year performance period and continued employment through the performance period. Depending on the actual performance over the measurement period, a rTSR PSU award recipient could receive up to 150% of the granted award. The grant date fair value of such awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation, which includes assumptions such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. These unobservable inputs represent a Level 3 measurement because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. The compensation expense for the awards is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and will only be adjusted for pre-vesting forfeitures due to the termination of the recipient’s employment with the Company prior to the end of the performance period.
2024 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2024 Plan) became effective upon approval of the stockholders in May 2024. The 2024 Plan permits the grant of awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. In addition, the 2024 Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, and other awards. The 2024 Plan provides that, with limited exceptions, no award will vest until at least 12 months following the date of grant of the award; provided, however, that up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2024 Plan may be subject to awards which do not meet such vesting requirements. The maximum term of any stock option or stock appreciation right awards under 2024 Plan is ten years. All shares that remained eligible for grant under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and 2023 Inducement Plan at the time of approval of the 2024 Plan were transferred to the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan was amended on May 29, 2026, and as of the amendment effective date all shares that remained eligible for grant under the Company’s 2024 Inducement Plan (Inducement Plan) were transferred to the 2024 Plan. At June 30, 2026, 14,512,744 shares of common stock were available for new grants under the 2024 Plan.
12
2024 Inducement Plan
The Board adopted the Inducement Plan in September 2024. The Inducement Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-related awards. Stock awards granted under the Inducement Plan may only be made to individuals who did not previously serve as employees or non-employee directors of the Company or an affiliate of the Company. In addition, stock awards must be approved by either a majority of the Company’s independent directors or the Compensation Committee. The terms of the Inducement Plan are otherwise substantially similar to the 2024 Plan. The maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the Inducement Plan is 2,400,000 shares. As discussed above, all shares that remained eligible for grant under the Inducement Plan at the time of the most recent amendment of the 2024 Plan were transferred to the 2024 Plan.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Collaboration, License and Merger Agreements
The Company has entered into various collaboration, licensing and merger agreements which provide the Company with rights to certain know-how, technology and patent rights. The agreements generally include upfront license fees, development and commercial milestone payments upon achievement of certain clinical and commercial development and annual net sales milestones, as well as royalties calculated as a percentage of product revenues, with rates that vary by agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the Company may be required to make milestone payments up to $3.6 billion in the aggregate for candidates in its pipeline.
In August 2018, the Company entered into a license agreement with Neuren and obtained exclusive North American rights to develop and commercialize trofinetide for Rett syndrome and other indications. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid Neuren an upfront license fee of $10.0 million and it may be required to pay up to an additional $455.0 million in milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and annual net sales milestones. In addition, the Company will be required to pay Neuren tiered, escalating, double-digit percentage royalties based on net sales. The license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the upfront cash payment of $10.0 million was expensed to research and development in the third quarter of 2018 as there is no alternative use for the asset. In connection with the FDA approval of DAYBUE, the Company paid a milestone payment of $40.0 million to Neuren following the first commercial sale of DAYBUE pursuant to the license agreement. The Company capitalized the $40.0 million milestone payment as an intangible asset as it was deemed probable of occurring as of March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company was granted a Rare Pediatric Disease PRV following the FDA approval of DAYBUE. Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company is required to pay Neuren one third of the value of the PRV at the time of sale or use of the PRV. The Company capitalized the $29.6 million for the estimated PRV value owed to Neuren as an intangible asset in 2023. In 2024, the Company sold the PRV to a third party for aggregate net proceeds of $146.5 million. Upon sale of the PRV, the Company capitalized an additional $19.2 million for the one third PRV value owed to Neuren as an intangible asset.
In July 2023, the Company expanded its licensing agreement for trofinetide with Neuren to acquire rights to the drug outside of North America as well as global rights in Rett syndrome and Fragile X syndrome to Neuren’s development candidate NNZ-2591 (ercanetide). Under the terms of the expanded agreement, Neuren received an upfront payment of $100.0 million and is eligible to receive up to an additional $426.3 million in milestone payments based on the achievement of certain commercial and sales milestones for trofinetide outside of North America and up to $831.3 million in milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and sales milestones for NNZ-2591 (ercanetide). In addition, the Company will be required to pay Neuren tiered royalties from the mid-teens to low-twenties percent of trofinetide net sales outside of North America. Percentage royalties related to NNZ-2591 (ercanetide) net sales are identical to the trofinetide in each of North America and outside North America. The expanded license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the upfront cash payment of $100.0 million was expensed to research and development in the third quarter of 2023 as there is no alternative use for the asset.
In January 2022, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Stoke Therapeutics, Inc. (Stoke) to discover, develop and commercialize novel RNA-based medicines for the potential treatment of severe and rare genetic neurodevelopmental diseases of the central nervous system. Under the collaboration, the two companies will jointly share global research, development and commercialization responsibilities and share 50/50 in all worldwide costs and future profits with respect to a SYNGAP1 program. In addition, Stoke is eligible to receive potential development, regulatory, commercial and sales milestones. In May 2025, the Company determined to discontinue the MECP2 program for Rett syndrome and the undisclosed neurodevelopmental disease program that were originally part of the collaboration. The licenses to the discontinued programs will terminate and the parties will wind down the activities for the two programs. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid Stoke a $60.0 million upfront payment which was accounted for as an asset acquisition and was expensed to research and development in the first quarter of 2022 as there is no alternative use for the asset. The Company may be required to pay up to an additional $245.0 million in milestones.
13
In November 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement with Saniona A/S (Saniona), for the development and commercialization of ACP-711, a highly selective GABAA-α3 positive allosteric modulator. The first indication the Company plans to pursue is development of ACP-711 for essential tremor, a neurological condition that includes shaking or trembling movements in one or more parts of the body. The Company will lead further clinical development, regulatory submissions, and global commercialization efforts for ACP-711 while also providing financial support for Saniona’s ongoing Phase 1 study and preparations for Phase 2. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company paid Saniona an upfront fee of $28.0 million and it may be required to pay up to $582.0 million in milestone payments based on the achievement of certain development and annual net sales milestones. In addition, the Company will be required to pay Saniona tiered royalties of mid-single digits to low double digits on net sales of commercial products that may result from development of ACP-711. The license agreement was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the upfront cash payment of $28.0 million was expensed to research and development in the fourth quarter of 2024 as there is no alternative use for the asset. The potential milestone payments to Saniona consist of up to $147.0 million subject to achievement of development and commercial milestones related to potential first and second indications, and up to $435.0 million subject to achievement of thresholds of annual net sales of ACP-711 worldwide.

Legal Proceedings
Patent Infringement
On July 24, 2020, the Company filed complaints against (i) Aurobindo Pharma Limited and its affiliate Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc. and (ii) Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and its affiliate Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., and on July 30, 2020, the Company filed complaints against (i) Hetero Labs Limited and its affiliates Hetero Labs Limited Unit-V and Hetero USA Inc., (ii) MSN Laboratories Private Ltd. and its affiliate MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and (iii) Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and its affiliate Cadila Healthcare Limited. These complaints, which were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, allege infringement of certain of the Company’s Orange Book-listed patents covering NUPLAZID (Pimavanserin I Cases).
The Company entered into an agreement effective April 22, 2021 with Hetero settling all claims and counterclaims in the litigation. The agreement allows Hetero to launch its generic pimavanserin product on February 27, 2038, subject to certain triggers for earlier launch. The Hetero case was dismissed by joint agreement on May 3, 2021.
On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a stipulation and proposed order to stay the claims currently asserted against Teva and for Teva to be bound by the result of the litigation rendered against the remaining defendants Aurobindo and MSN, which was ordered by the Court on October 4, 2022.
On October 21, 2022, the Company filed additional complaints against Aurobindo, MSN and Zydus in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of an additional Orange Book-listed patent covering NUPLAZID (Pimavanserin II Cases).
The Company entered into an agreement, effective March 31, 2023, with Zydus settling all claims and counterclaims in the Pimavanserin I Cases and Pimavanserin II Cases. The agreement allows Zydus to launch its generic pimavanserin 10 mg tablet products on September 23, 2036 and 34 mg capsule products on February 27, 2038, subject to certain triggers for earlier launch. The Zydus case was dismissed by joint agreement on April 5, 2023.
As a result of the above, only MSN remained as an active defendant in the Pimavanserin I Cases. On January 11, 2024, following summary judgment motions, the District Court entered final judgment in the Company’s favor that MSN’s submission of ANDA No. 214925 was an act of infringement in the Pimavanserin I Case and the ’740 patent was not invalid. On January 18, 2024, MSN filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the final judgment entered on January 11, 2024. On June 9, 2025, the Federal Circuit issued a decision affirming the final judgement of the District Court in the Company’s favor.
14
In connection with the Pimavanserin II cases, MSN and Aurobindo are the remaining defendants. A bench trial was conducted from December 3, 2024 to December 6, 2024 in the matter. Post-trial briefing was completed on February 12, 2025. On June 9, 2025, the District Court issued a final judgment in the Company’s favor that Aurobindo’s ANDA infringes the asserted Nuplazid patent and that the defendants failed to demonstrate such patent is invalid. On June 16, 2025, MSN and Aurobindo filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the final judgment entered on June 9, 2025. Briefing was completed on December 19, 2025. An oral argument has not been scheduled as yet.
On February 14, 2025, the Company filed a complaint against Zydus Lifesciences Limited, Zydus Worldwide DMCC, and Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. (collectively “Zydus”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of certain of the Company’s Orange Book-listed patents covering NUPLAZID (Pimavanserin) by Zydus’ proposed 34 mg pimavanserin tablet product. On September 9, 2025, Acadia filed a First Amended Complaint alleging that Zydus breached the March 31, 2023 settlement agreement. The case is scheduled for trial commencing November 2, 2026.
Securities Class Action
On April 19, 2021, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative securities class action complaint (captioned City of Birmingham Relief Retirement Systems v. Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 21-cv-0762) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against the Company and certain of the Company’s then-current executive officers. On September 29, 2021, the Court issued an order designating lead plaintiff and lead counsel. On December 10, 2021, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint generally alleges that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by failing to disclose that the materials submitted in support of its sNDA seeking approval of pimavanserin for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with dementia-related psychosis contained statistical and design deficiencies and that the FDA was unlikely to approve the sNDA in its current form. The amended complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On March 11, 2024, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and appointment of class representatives and class counsel. The parties concluded discovery on September 24, 2025. The parties submitted pretrial motions on November 12, 2025 and briefing for these motions was completed on February 25, 2026. The Court held a hearing for pretrial motions on April 10, 2026. The parties exchanged pretrial disclosures on July 10, 2026. The parties must lodge the pretrial order with the Court by August 5, 2026, a mandatory settlement conference is scheduled for August 17, 2026, and the final pretrial conference is scheduled for September 2, 2026.
Opt Out Litigation
On March 7, 2024, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint (captioned Alger Dynamic Opportunities Fund v. Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 24-cv-00451) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against the Company and one executive officer. The complaint is based on the same underlying allegations as the Securities Class Action described above, and alleged claims under federal and state securities laws, and for common law fraud and negligent misrepresentations. On May 24, 2024, Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. On October 31, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss. The Court dismissed with leave to amend the purported stockholder’s state and common law claims, as well as the claim brought under Section 18(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Defendants filed their answer to the Sections 10(b) and 20(a) claims on December 16, 2024. The Court’s stay of this suit, previously in effect since January 13, 2025, was lifted on July 8, 2026. The parties must submit a joint case management plan to the Court by August 21, 2026.
Derivative Suit
On December 15, 2023, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a derivative action (captioned Kanner et al v. Biggar et al., Case No. 23-cv-2293) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against certain of the Company’s current directors. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint is based on the same alleged misconduct as the Securities Class Action, and asserts state law claims, on behalf of the Company, against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, and insider trading. The complaint also asserts federal claims under sections 10(b), 21D, and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On December 27, 2023, the action was reassigned to District Judge William Q. Hayes and Magistrate Judge Michael S. Berg due to its relation to the Securities Class Action. On January 30, 2024, the parties jointly requested a stay of the action. The Court granted that request and the action was stayed on February 20, 2024, pending the outcome of our Demand Review Committee’s investigation into the underlying claims. The stay was briefly lifted on September 5, 2025 but reinstated on October 17, 2025 and remains in place. On January 15, 2026, the parties informed the Court that they had reached a settlement in principle regarding the derivative claims. The parties filed a stipulation of settlement with the Court on July 14, 2026. Pursuant to the proposed settlement, which is still subject to Court approval, defendants agreed to certain governance reforms and agreed to an award of $1.5 million in attorneys’ fees to be paid by the Company’s insurance carrier.
15
Given the unpredictability inherent in litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. The Company is unable to estimate possible losses or ranges of losses that may result from these matters, and therefore it has not accrued any amounts in connection with these matters other than attorneys’ fees incurred to date.
10. Leases
The Company leases facilities and certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases with remaining lease terms of 0.5 years to 12.1 years, some of which include options to extend for up to two five-year terms. These optional periods were not considered in the determination of the right-of-use asset or the lease liability as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain that it would exercise such options.
The operating lease costs were as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2026 2025 2026 2025
Operating lease cost $ 5,060 $ 3,869 $ 9,209 $ 7,907

Thereafter 27,991
Total lease payments 93,293
Less:
Imputed interest (19,439 )
Total operating lease liabilities $ 73,854
Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6.1 years and the weighted average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 5.1%.
16
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to lease the 4th and 5th floors of corporate office space in San Diego, California with total minimum lease payments of $50.4 million over an initial term of 10 years and 9 months. In February 2020, the Company entered into the first amendment to the lease agreement to lease the 2nd floor of corporate office space in San Diego, California with total minimum lease payments of $25.3 million over an initial term of approximately 10 years and 7 months. In March 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment to the lease agreement which increased the total minimum lease payments of the original corporate office space to $51.4 million. In the third quarter of 2020, the lease for the 4th and 5th floors of corporate office space commenced and the Company capitalized a right of use asset and related lease liability of $40.3 million. In the first quarter of 2021, the lease for the 2nd floor of corporate office space commenced and the Company capitalized a right of use asset and related lease liability of $19.2 million. In connection with this lease and the amendment, the Company established a letter of credit for $3.1 million, which has automatic annual extensions and is fully secured by restricted cash.
In May 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its 2nd floor of corporate office space in San Diego to a sublessee with a total minimum sublease income of $18.4 million over a term of approximately 7 years and 6 months. The Company delivered full possession of its 2nd floor of corporate office space to the sublessee in August 2023 and began receiving sublease payments in December 2023.
In May 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to lease the corporate office space in Princeton, New Jersey (the New Princeton Lease) with total minimum lease payments of $24.5 million over an initial term of 12 years and 2 months. The Company’s prior Princeton office lease expired in the second quarter of 2026 in accordance with its terms upon commencement of the New Princeton Lease. The New Princeton Lease commenced in the second quarter of 2026, at which time the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of approximately $15.7 million. In connection with this New Princeton Lease agreement, the Company established a letter of credit for $0.6 million, which has automatic annual extensions and is fully secured by restricted cash.
11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $15.0 million on a pre-tax income of $46.5 million and income tax expense of $13.5 million on a pre-tax income of $40.2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 32.2% and 33.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 varies from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mostly due to federal and state income tax expense, offset by a partial valuation allowance, permanent book to tax adjustments including stock based compensation and branded prescription drug fees, and quarterly discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 varies from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to state income tax expense as a result of current taxable income, offset by valuation allowance.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $15.3 million on a pre-tax income of $50.5 million and income tax expense of $22.3 million on a pre-tax income of $68.0 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 30.4% and 32.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 varies from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% mostly due to federal and state expense, offset by a partial valuation allowance, permanent book to tax adjustments including stock based compensation and branded prescription drug fees, and quarterly discrete items. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 varies from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to state income tax expense as a result of current taxable income, offset by valuation allowance.
