Business overview

Business Overview We are a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and providing novel therapies that significantly improve the lives of patients with hematologic disorders and cancer. We focus on products that address signaling pathways that are critical to disease mechanisms. TAVALISSE ® (fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate) is our first FDA-approved product and is the only approved oral spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment. The product is also commercially available in Europe and the United Kingdom (UK) (as TAVLESSE), and in Japan, the Republic of Korea (Korea), Canada and Israel (as TAVALISSE) for the treatment of chronic ITP in adult patients.

REZLIDHIA ® (olutasidenib) is our second FDA-approved product and indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. W e in-licensed REZLIDHIA from Forma Therapeutics, Inc. , now Novo Nordisk (Forma), with exclusive, worldwide rights for its development, manufacturing and commercialization, pursuant to a license and transition services agreement entered in July 2022. GAVRETO ® (pralsetinib) is our third FDA-approved product which we began commercializing in June 2024. GAVRETO is a once daily, small molecule, oral, kinase inhibitor of wild-type rearranged during transfection (RET) and oncogenic RET fusions. GAVRETO is approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as detected by an FDA-approved test.

GAVRETO is also approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration response rate, for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate). We acquired the rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize GAVRETO in the US from Blueprint Medicines Corporation, now a Sanofi SA company (Blueprint), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement entered in February 2024. Our development pipeline includes R289, our dual interleukin receptor-associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1/4) inhibitor program, which is being advanced in an open-label, Phase 1b study to determine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the drug in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are relapsed, refractory or resistant to prior therapies.

4 To expand our evaluation of olutasidenib in other disease areas with IDH1 mutations, we have strategic development collaborations with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) and with Collaborative Network for Neuro-Oncology Clinical Trials (CONNECT). We also have a receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) inhibitor program in clinical development that is being led by our partner Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly). Business Updates TAVALISSE in ITP In 2025, we recognized $158. 8 million of TAVALISSE net product sales, a 51. 6% increase compared to $104. 8 million in 2024.

The increase was primarily due to increased quantities sold, lower revenue reserves rate and higher price per bottle. REZLIDHIA in R/R AML with mIDH1 In 2025 , we recognized $31. 0 million of REZLIDHIA net product sales, a 34. 8% increase compared to $23. 0 million in 2024 . The increase was primarily due to increased quantities sold and higher price per bottle, which were partially offset by higher revenue reserves rate.

GAVRETO in metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC and advanced thyroid cancers In 2025, we recognized $42. 1 million of GAVRETO net product sales, compared to $17. 1 million in 2024. We began our commercialization of GAVRETO in late June 2024. R289, an Oral IRAK1/4 Inhibitor for Lower-Risk MDS We advanced the development of our dual IRAK1/4 inhibitor program, following evaluation of single and multiple ascending doses of R289 in healthy subjects. The ongoing Phase 1b open-label, multicenter study evaluates the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of R289 in patients with R/R lower-risk MDS.

This Phase 1b study is expected to enroll approximately 86 patients (up to 36 patients in the dose escalation phase, up to 40 patients in the dose expansion phase, and 10 patients in an exploratory cohort evaluating post- or ineligible erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA), treatment naïve patients). The primary objective of the study is safety, with secondary and exploratory objectives to assess prel iminary efficacy and characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of R289. Enrollment in the dose escalation part of the study was completed in July 2025. […]

Management discussion and analysis

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our “Notes to Financial Statements” contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. This section of this Form 10-K discusses 2025 and 2024 items and 2025 and 2024 year-to-year comparisons. This section does not discuss 2023 items and 2024 to 2023 year-to-year comparisons. Discussions of 2023 items and 2024 to 2023 year-to-year comparisons can be found in the “Part II, Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

For discussions of recent business updates, please refer to “Part I, Item 1, Business – Business Updates” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in “Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Financial Statements” contained in “Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As detailed further below, we consider our critical accounting estimates to involve subjective and complex judgments, particularly regarding the estimation of allowances and discounts on product sales. 88 Our revenues from product sales are recognized at net sales price when our customers obtain control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, upon delivery. Under the revenue recognition guidance, we are required to estimate the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint, in our contracts with our customers. […]

Key risk disclosures

Risk Factors In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and those we may make from time to time. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry If the market opportunities for our products and product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected, and our business may suffer. Certain of the diseases that our products and our other product candidates being developed to address are in underserved and underdiagnosed populations. Our projections of both the number of people who have these diseases, as well as the subset of people with these diseases who will seek treatment utilizing our products or product candidates, may not be accurate. If our estimates of the prevalence or number of patients potentially on therapy prove to be inaccurate, the market opportunities for our products and our other product candidates may be smaller than what we believe they are, our prospects for generating expected revenue may be adversely affected and our business may suffer.

We may need to continue to increase the size of our organization and we may encounter difficulties with managing our growth, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. We may need to add additional qualified personnel and resources to support our commercial activities and expected growth. Our current infrastructure may be inadequate to support our development and commercialization efforts and expected growth. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees, and may take time away from running other aspects of our business, including commercialization of our products and development of our other product candidates.

Our future financial performance and our ability to sustain successful commercialization of our products and our ability to commercialize other product candidates that may receive regulatory approval will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. In particular, as we continue to commercialize our products, we will need to support the training and ongoing activities of our sales force and will likely need to continue to expand the size of our employee base for managerial, operational, financial and other resources. To that end, we must be able to successfully: • manage our development efforts effectively; • integrate additional management, administrative and manufacturing personnel; • further develop our marketing and sales organization; and • maintain sufficient administrative, accounting and management information systems and controls.

We may not be able to accomplish these tasks or successfully manage our operations and, accordingly, may not achieve our research, development, and commercialization goals. Our failure to accomplish any of these goals, including as a result of business or other interruptions resulting from a potential pandemic or global economic slowdown, could adversely affect our business and operations. Our strategy to expand our hematology and oncology pipeline on our own, or through acquisitions or in-licensing of early or late-stage products or companies, or through partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic institutions and government organizations, may not be successful. Our business is focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapies that significantly improve the lives of patients with hematologic disorders and cancer.

In this regard, we continue to pursue internal drug discovery efforts or partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as academic institutions and government organizations, with the goal of identifying new product candidates to advance into clinical trials. Our discovery efforts to identify new product candidates require substantial technical, financial and human resources. These discovery efforts may initially show promise in identifying potential product candidates, yet ultimately fail to yield product candidates for clinical 37 development for a number of reasons. For example, potential product candidates may, on later stage clinical trial, be shown to have inadequate efficacy, harmful side effects, suboptimal pharmaceutical profiles or other characteristics suggesting that they are unlikely to be commercially viable products.
