Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (the Company) as of

December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss),

shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes

(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results

of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)

(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in

Internal Control*—*Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission

(2013 framework), and our report dated February 13, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion

on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and

are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the

applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform

the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due

to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial

statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included

examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also

included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the

overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that

was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that

are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The

communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements,

taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the

critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Medicaid Drug Rebate Program in the U.S.
Description of the MatterAs discussed in Note A to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales based on amounts due from customers net of allowances for variable consideration, which include, among others, rebates mandated by law under Medicaid and other government pricing programs. The most significant estimates relate to government and private payor rebates, chargebacks, discounts and fees, collectively rebates. The Company includes an estimate of variable consideration in its transaction price at the time of sale, when control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company estimates its Medicaid and other government pricing accruals based on monthly sales, historical experience of claims submitted by the various states and jurisdictions, historical rebate rates and estimated lag time of the rebate invoices. Rebate accruals inclusive of estimated amounts due for claims not yet received or processed as part of the Company’s Medicaid program are recorded within accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Auditing the allowances for rebates owed pursuant to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program in the U.S. was complex and judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining certain assumptions including the levels of expected utilization of these rebates based on the amount of product sold to eligible patients, as well as the complexity of the government mandated rebate calculations. The allowances for rebates owed pursuant to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program in the U.S. are sensitive to these significant assumptions and calculations.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s revenue recognition process, including controls over management’s computation and review of the allowances for Medicaid rebates. We tested the Company’s controls to assess the completeness and accuracy of the current and historical data that supports the Medicaid estimate, significant assumptions related to the inputs utilized as well as management’s review of the application of the government pricing regulations. Our audit procedures to test the allowances for rebates owed pursuant to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program in the U.S., included the following: we assessed the methodology used to determine the estimate and tested the significant assumptions as well as the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We also assessed the historical accuracy of the Company’s estimates of Medicaid rebates by comparing assumptions to historical trends and evaluating the change from prior periods. We further tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the Company’s calculations through reconciliation to third-party invoices, claims data and actual cash payments. In addition, we involved our government pricing specialists to assist in evaluating management’s methodology and calculations used in the measurement of certain estimated rebates.

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

**A.**Nature of Business and Accounting Policies

Business

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is 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 approved medicines for cystic fibrosis (“CF”), sickle cell disease (“SCD”), transfusion dependent beta thalassemia

(“TDT”), and acute pain, and we continue to serially innovate and advance next-generation clinical and research programs in

these areas. Our mid- and late-stage clinical pipeline includes programs across a range of modalities in additional serious

diseases, including IgA nephropathy (“IgAN”), APOL1-mediated kidney disease, neuropathic pain, type 1 diabetes (“T1D”),

primary membranous nephropathy (“pMN”), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and myotonic dystrophy type 1

(“DM1”).

Our marketed CF medicines are ALYFTREK (vanzacaftor/tezacaftor/deutivacaftor), which was approved by the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in December 2024, TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor and

ivacaftor), SYMDEKO/SYMKEVI (tezacaftor/ivacaftor and ivacaftor), ORKAMBI (lumacaftor/ivacaftor) and KALYDECO

(ivacaftor).

CASGEVY (exagamglogene autotemcel), our ex-vivo, non-viral CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing therapy for severe

SCD and TDT, is approved in the United States (“U.S.”) and across multiple geographies including Europe, Canada, and the

Middle East. CASGEVY was initially approved by the FDA in December 2023.

In January 2025, the FDA approved JOURNAVX (suzetrigine), our first-in-class, oral pain signal inhibitor that is highly

selective for voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.8, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting

principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), 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.

Please refer to Note Q, “Segment Information,” for enterprise-wide disclosures regarding our revenues, major customers,

significant segment expenses, and long-lived assets by geographic area.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 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.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. We record the amount of revenue

that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply the following five-

step model to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of

whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the

contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the

transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance

obligation.

We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration to which we are

entitled in exchange for the goods or services that we transfer to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the

F-9

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers at contract inception, we

review the contract to determine which performance obligations we must deliver and which of these performance obligations

are distinct. We recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation

when that performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, our performance obligations are transferred to

customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

Product Revenues, Net

We sell our products primarily to a limited number of specialty pharmacy and specialty distributors globally, as well as

to certain major wholesalers in the U.S. and to retail pharmacies, hospitals and clinics internationally. Many of the

international hospitals and clinics are government-owned or supported. Our customers in the U.S. subsequently resell our

products to patients, health care providers, retail pharmacies, hospitals, or authorized treatment centers (“ATCs”). In certain

markets, we may sell CASGEVY directly to ATCs. Revenue recognition typically occurs upon delivery of our small

molecule products, including our CF medicines and JOURNAVX, and upon infusion of our gene-therapy products, including

CASGEVY.

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes estimates of

variable consideration that result from (a) invoice discounts for prompt payment and distribution fees, (b) government and

private payor rebates, chargebacks, discounts and fees, (c) product returns, and (d) other adjustments for certain indirect

customers, including costs of co-pay assistance programs for patients. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable

consideration based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. The reserves are classified as reductions to

“Accounts receivable, net” if payable to a customer or “Accrued expenses” if payable to a third-party. Where appropriate, we

utilize the expected value method to determine the appropriate amount for estimates of variable consideration based on

factors such as our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and

trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. The amount of variable consideration that is

included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in our net product revenues only to the extent that it is

probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future

period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results vary from our

estimates, we adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances

become known.

Invoice Discounts and Distribution Fees: In the U.S., we may provide invoice discounts on product sales to our

customers for prompt payment and pay distribution and administrative fees, such as fees for certain data that customers

provide to us. These fees are based on a fixed percentage of sales. We estimate that, based on our experience, our customers

will earn these discounts and fees, and deduct the full amount of these discounts and fees from our gross product revenues

and accounts receivable at the time such revenues are recognized.

Rebates, Chargebacks, Discounts and Fees: We contract with government agencies and commercial payors (our “Third-

party Payors”) so that products will be eligible for purchase by, or partial or full reimbursement from, such Third-party

Payors. We estimate the rebates, chargebacks, discounts and fees we will provide to Third-party Payors and deduct these

estimated amounts from our gross product revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. For each product, we estimate

the aggregate rebates, chargebacks and discounts that we will provide to Third-party Payors based upon (i) our contracts with

these Third-party Payors, (ii) the government-mandated discounts and fees applicable to government-funded programs,

(iii) information obtained from our customers and other third-party data regarding the payor mix for such product and (iv)

historical experience.

Product Returns: Return policies vary by product and market. We typically permit returns if our product is damaged,

defective, or otherwise cannot be used by our customer. In specific cases, we will allow returns for expired product as defined

within specific customer agreements. We record deductions from our gross product revenues for estimated sales returns in the

period the related revenue is recognized and base our estimate for returns on historical experience and known or expected

changes in the marketplace specific to each product.

Other Adjustments*:* We offer patient support programs to eligible patients, such as co-pay assistance programs, which

require us to establish accruals based on an estimated cost per claim that we expect to receive.

F-10

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

We make significant estimates and judgments that materially affect our recognition of net product revenues. Our most

significant estimate relates to determining amounts due pursuant to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, including estimating

the level of expected utilization of the rebates based on the amount of product sold to eligible patients. We adjust our

estimated rebates, chargebacks and discounts based on new information, including information regarding actual rebates,

chargebacks and discounts for our products, as it becomes available. Claims by Third-party Payors for rebates, chargebacks

and discounts frequently are submitted to us significantly after the related sales, potentially resulting in adjustments in the

period in which the new information becomes known. Our credits to product revenue related to prior period sales have not

been significant and primarily related to rebates and discounts.

Our payment terms, which typically range from 30 to 150 days depending on the product and market, are consistent with

prevailing market practice. We do not adjust our net product revenues for the effects of a significant financing component for

transactions where we expect, at contract inception, the period between our customer obtaining control of our product and

when we receive payment to be one year or less.

We exclude taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities from

revenues.

Contract Liabilities

We had contract liabilities of $171.8 million and $206.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 deliver 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.

During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $206.8 million, $170.3 million and $159.6 million,

respectively, of CF product revenues that were recorded as contract liabilities at the beginning of the year.

Other Revenues

We have not recognized significant revenues other than our product revenues during the three years ended December 31,

  1. In 2025, our “Other revenues” were primarily related to $20.6 million and $10.0 million associated with upfront

payments, for licenses that we concluded were distinct, received from our agreements with Ono Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.

(“Ono”) and Zai Lab Limited (“Zai”), respectively. Please refer to Note B, “Collaboration, License and Other

Arrangements,” for further information about these agreements. In future periods, we may recognize additional other

revenues generated through collaborative research, development and/or commercialization agreements related to one or more

of the following: nonrefundable upfront license fees; development and commercial milestones; funding of research and

development activities; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of a

performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to our collaborator.

For each agreement that results in revenue, we identify all material performance obligations and determine the

transaction price by estimating the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract. We constrain (reduce) the

estimate of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not

occur throughout the life of the contract. We utilize the sales- and usage-based royalty exception in arrangements that

resulted from the license of intellectual property, recognizing revenues generated from royalties as the underlying sales occur.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Once the estimated transaction price is established, amounts are allocated to each separate performance obligation that

has been identified on a relative standalone selling price basis. The consideration allocated to each distinct performance

obligation is recognized as revenue when control of the related goods or services is transferred.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales primarily includes royalty expenses, cost of product sales, intangible asset amortization expenses, and

other items related to our manufacturing processes, adjusted by CRISPR Therapeutics AG’s (“CRISPR”) share of the net

commercial profits or losses for CASGEVY. Please refer to Note B, “Collaboration, License and Other Arrangements,” for

further information on our royalties related to our CF products and our agreements with CRISPR related to the treatment of

net commercial profits or losses for CASGEVY.

Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases are capitalized and recorded upon sale in “Cost of sales” in

our consolidated statements of income (loss). Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipments are recorded as

incurred in “Cost of sales” in our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are comprised of costs we incur in performing research and development activities,

including salary and benefits; stock-based compensation expense; outsourced services and other direct expenses, including

clinical trial, pharmaceutical development and drug supply costs; and infrastructure costs, including facilities costs and

depreciation expense. We recognize research and development expenses as incurred. We capitalize nonrefundable advance

payments we make for research and development activities and expense the payments as the related goods are delivered or

the related services are performed.

Acquired In-process Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development activities include upfront, contingent milestone, and other payments pursuant to our

business development transactions, including collaborations, licenses of third-party technologies, and asset acquisitions. In-

process research and development that is acquired in a transaction that does not qualify as a business combination under U.S.

GAAP and that does not have an alternative future use is recorded to “Acquired in-process research and development

expenses” (“AIPR&D”) in our consolidated statements of income (loss) in the period in which it is acquired.

In transactions that do not qualify as a business combination, we present the cost to acquire AIPR&D within our "Cash

flows from operating activities" in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

We expense the fair value of employee restricted stock units and other forms of stock-based employee compensation

over the associated employee service period on a straight-line basis. Stock-based compensation expense is determined based

on the fair value of the award at the grant date and is adjusted each period to reflect actual forfeitures and the outcomes of

certain performance conditions.

For awards with performance conditions in which the award does not vest unless the performance condition is met, we

recognize expense if, and to the extent that, we estimate that achievement of the performance condition is probable. If we

conclude that vesting is probable, we recognize expense from the date we reach this conclusion through the estimated vesting

date.

We provide to employees who have rendered a certain number of years of service to Vertex and meet certain age

requirements, partial or full acceleration of vesting of these equity awards, subject to certain conditions including a

notification period, upon a termination of employment other than for cause. A low percentage of our employees were eligible

for partial or full acceleration of any of their equity awards as of December 31, 2025. We recognize stock-based

compensation expense related to these awards over a service period reflecting qualified employees’ eligibility for partial or

full acceleration of vesting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Please refer to Note N, “Stock-based Compensation Expense,” for tables displaying our stock-based compensation

expense by type of award and by line item within our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs, including promotional expenses were $202.8 million, $85.7 million and $45.8 million in 2025, 2024

and 2023, respectively. Our advertising costs are expensed as incurred and recorded to “Selling, general and administrative

expenses,” in our consolidated statements of income (loss).

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

We base our estimates of the probability of achieving the milestones relevant to the fair value of contingent payments on

industry data and our knowledge of the programs and viability of the programs. Estimates included in the discounted cash

flow models pertaining to contingent payments also include: (i) estimates regarding the timing of the relevant development

and commercial milestones and royalties, and (ii) and appropriate discount rates. We record any increases or decreases in the

fair value of our contingent payments to “Change in fair value of contingent consideration” in our consolidated statements of

income (loss). We record our contingent consideration liabilities at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as “Other

current liabilities” or “Other long-term liabilities” depending on when we estimate we will pay them. Please refer to Note D,

“Fair Value Measurements,” for further information.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is accounted for under the asset and liability method and includes federal, state, local and

foreign taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences

between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and

liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary

differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if,

based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. On a

periodic basis, we reassess the valuation allowance on our deferred income tax assets weighing positive and negative

evidence to assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. We include, among other things, our recent financial

performance and our future projections in this periodic assessment.

We record liabilities related to uncertain tax positions by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement

attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax

return. We evaluate our uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and consider various factors, including, but not limited to,

changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in our tax returns, and changes in facts or

circumstances related to a tax position. We adjust our liabilities to reflect any subsequent changes in the relevant facts and

circumstances surrounding the uncertain positions. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a

component of our “Provision for income taxes.”

As part of the U.S. Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, we are subject to a territorial tax system, under which we must

establish an accounting policy to provide for tax on Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (“NCTI”) (formerly

Global Intangible Low Taxed Income) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We have elected to treat the impact of NCTI as

a current tax expense in our “Provision for income taxes.”

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding

during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share utilizing the treasury-stock method is based upon the

weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common

equivalent shares outstanding during the period when the effect is dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares result from the assumed

(i) vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), and (ii) exercise of

outstanding stock options. The proceeds of such vestings or exercises are assumed to have been used to repurchase

outstanding stock using the treasury-stock method.

F-13

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive (loss) income, which includes

foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and our

available-for-sale debt securities. For purposes of comprehensive income disclosures, we record provisions for or benefits

from income taxes related to the unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and our available-for-sale

debt securities. We record provisions for or benefits from income taxes related to our cumulative translation adjustment only

for those undistributed earnings in our foreign subsidiaries that we do not intend to permanently reinvest.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be

cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

As of December 31, 2025, our marketable securities consisted of investments in available-for-sale debt securities and

corporate equity securities with readily determinable fair values. We classify marketable securities with current maturities of

less than one year as current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The remainder of our marketable securities are

classified as long-term assets within “Long-term marketable securities” on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of

these securities is based on quoted prices for identical or similar assets.

We record unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale debt securities as a component of “Accumulated other

comprehensive (loss) income,” which is a separate component of shareholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheets,

until such gains and losses are realized. Realized gains and losses, if any, are determined using the specific identification

method.

For available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions, we are required to assess whether to record an

allowance for credit losses using an expected loss model. A credit loss is limited to the amount by which the amortized cost

of an investment exceeds its fair value. A previously recognized credit loss may be decreased in subsequent periods if our

estimate of fair value for the investment increases. To determine whether to record a credit loss, we consider issuer specific

credit ratings and historical losses as well as current economic conditions and our expectations for future economic

conditions.

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

consolidated statements of income (loss). Realized gains and losses, which are also included in “Other expense, net,” are

determined on an original weighted-average cost basis.

Accounts Receivable

We deduct invoice discounts for prompt payment and fees for distribution services from our accounts receivable based

on our experience that our customers will earn these discounts and fees. Our estimates for our allowance for credit losses,

which has not been significant to date, is determined based on existing contractual payment terms, historical payment

patterns, current economic conditions and our expectation for future economic conditions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and

marketable securities. We place these investments with highly rated financial institutions, and, by policy, limit the amount of

credit exposure to any one financial institution. We also maintain a foreign currency hedging program that includes foreign

currency forward contracts with several counterparties. We have not experienced any credit losses related to these financial

instruments and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk related to these instruments.

We are also subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales and collaborators. We

evaluate the creditworthiness of each of our customers and have determined that all our material customers are creditworthy.

To date, we have not experienced significant losses with respect to the collection of our accounts receivable. We believe that

F-14

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

our allowances, which are not significant to our consolidated financial statements, are adequate at December 31, 2025. Please

refer to Note Q, “Segment Information,” for further information.

Inventories

We value our inventories at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost of our inventories, which

include amounts related to materials and manufacturing overhead, on a first-in, first-out basis. We perform an assessment of

the recoverability of our capitalized inventory during each reporting period and write down any excess and obsolete

inventories to their net realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified.

We capitalize inventories prior to regulatory approval when we consider the related product candidate to have a high

likelihood of regulatory approval and expect to recover the related costs. In making this determination, we evaluate, among

other factors, the status of regulatory submissions and communications with regulatory authorities, information regarding the

product candidate’s safety and efficacy, and the outlook for commercial sales, including the existence of any competition.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded using

the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset generally as follows:

DescriptionEstimated Useful Life
Buildings and improvements15 to 40 years
Laboratory equipment, other equipment and furniture7 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements; assets under finance leasesThe shorter of the useful life of the assets or the estimated remaining term of the associated lease
Computers and software3 to 5 years

Maintenance and repairs to an asset that do not improve or extend its life are expensed as incurred. When assets are

retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any

resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of income (loss). We perform an assessment of the fair value

of the assets if indicators of impairment are identified during a reporting period and record the assets at the lower of the net

book value or the fair value of the assets.

We capitalize costs incurred to develop software for internal use during the application development stage, which are

depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.

Goodwill

The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business

combination is allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by reporting unit on an annual basis as of

October 1, and more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. As

noted in Basis of Presentation above, we have one operating segment, pharmaceuticals, which is our only reporting unit.

In-process Research and Development Assets

We record the fair value of in-process research and development assets as of the transaction date of a business

combination on our consolidated balance sheets as “Other intangible assets, net.” These assets are used in research and

development activities but have not yet reached technological feasibility, which occurs when we complete the research and

development efforts by obtaining regulatory approval to market an underlying product candidate. We characterize in-process

research and development assets on our consolidated balance sheets as indefinite-lived intangible assets until either they

achieve regulatory approval and become finite-lived intangible assets, or the assets are impaired. Upon completion of the

associated research and development efforts, we will determine the remaining estimated life of the marketed product and

begin amortizing the carrying value of the assets over this period. If the assets become impaired or are abandoned, the

carrying value is written down to fair value, and we record an impairment charge in the period in which the impairment

F-15

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

occurs. We test in-process research and development assets for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, and more

frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist.

The fair value of our in-process research and development assets is determined using either the multi-period excess

earnings or the relief from royalty methods of the income approach. Each method requires us to make: (i) assumptions

regarding the probability of obtaining marketing approval for a product candidate; (ii) estimates of future cash flows from

potential product sales with respect to a product candidate; and (iii) appropriate discount and tax rates. The multi-period

excess earnings method also requires us to estimate the timing of and the expected costs to develop and commercialize a

product candidate. The relief from royalty method also requires us to estimate the after-tax royalty savings expected from

ownership of a product candidate that we acquired.

Finite-lived Intangible Assets

We record finite-lived intangible assets at cost, net of accumulated amortization, on our consolidated balance sheets as

“Other intangible assets, net.” Most of these assets relate to our marketed products and may include, among other things,

completed research and development projects that were previously reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as in-process

research and development assets, or rights to developed technology associated with in-licenses, regulatory approval

milestones due to our collaborators, or other payments. We amortize our finite-lived intangible assets related to our marketed

products using the straight-line method within “Cost of sales” over the remaining estimated life of the assets beginning in the

period in which regulatory approval is achieved or the assets are acquired and continuing through the period that we no

longer have either exclusive rights to market the products associated with the assets or in-license rights to the intellectual

property underlying the assets.

We test our finite-lived intangible assets for impairment if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that

the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If we determine that the carrying value of a finite-lived intangible

asset may not be recoverable, we compare the carrying value of the asset’s group to the undiscounted cash flows that we

expect the asset group to generate. When we determine that a finite-lived intangible asset has become impaired, we write

down the carrying value of the asset to its fair value and record an impairment charge in the period in which the impairment

occurs.

Leases

We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. If a lease is identified in an arrangement, we

recognize a right-of-use asset and liability on our consolidated balance sheet and determine whether the lease should be

classified as a finance or operating lease. We do not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with lease terms of less than 12

months.

A lease qualifies as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met at the inception of the lease: (i) there is a

transfer of ownership of the leased asset to Vertex by the end of the lease term, (ii) we hold an option to purchase the leased

asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the

leased asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the

leased asset, or (v) the nature of the leased asset is specialized to the point that it is expected to provide the lessor no

alternative use at the end of the lease term. All other leases are recorded as operating leases.

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present

value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit is not readily

determinable, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further

adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an

operating expense over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized to depreciation expense using the straight-line

method over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. Finance lease payments are bifurcated into (i) a

portion that is recorded as imputed interest expense and (ii) a portion that reduces the finance liability associated with the

lease.

For our real estate leases, we account for lease and fixed non-lease components together as a single lease component. For

our embedded leases with contract manufacturing organizations, we account for the lease component separately from the

F-16

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

non-lease components. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. If a lease includes an option to extend or terminate

the lease, we reflect the option in the lease term if it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option.

Finance leases are recorded in “Property and equipment, net,” “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term

liabilities,” and operating leases are recorded in “Operating lease assets,” “Other current liabilities” and “Long-term operating

lease liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets.

Cloud Computing Service Contracts

We classify costs incurred to implement cloud computing service contracts as “Other assets” on our consolidated balance

sheets. Amortization is recorded over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing service contract, plus any optional

renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Hedging Activities

We recognize the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts that are designated and qualify as hedging

instruments pursuant to U.S. GAAP as either assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value

of these instruments are recorded each period in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” as unrealized gains and

losses until the forecasted underlying transaction occurs. Unrealized gains and losses on these foreign currency forward

contracts are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other assets,” and “Other current liabilities” or

“Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets depending on the remaining period until their

contractual maturity. Realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts are recognized in “Product

revenues, net” in our consolidated statement of income in the same period that we recognize the product revenues that were

impacted by the hedged foreign exchange rate changes. We classify the cash flows from hedging instruments in the same

category as the cash flows from the hedged items.

Certain of our hedging instruments are subject to master netting arrangements to reduce the risk arising from such

transactions with our counterparties. We present unrealized gains and losses on our foreign currency forward contracts on a

gross basis within our consolidated balance sheets.

We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts designed to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange

rates on monetary assets and liabilities. Realized gains and losses for these contracts are recognized in “Other expense, net”

in our consolidated statements of income (loss) each period because they are not designated as hedge instruments pursuant to

U.S. GAAP.

Lega**l Matters

We are and may become subject to claims and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business activities. If we

determine that it is probable that future expenditures will be made for a particular matter and such expenditures can be

reasonably estimated, we accrue a loss contingency based on our best estimate of the probable range of loss. We accrue the

minimum amount within the probable range of loss if no amount within the range is more likely than another. If we determine

that future expenditures are not probable, or probable but not reasonably estimated, we do not accrue a loss contingency. If

we determine that a material loss is reasonably possible and the range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the possible range

of loss.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The majority of our operations occur in entities that have the U.S. dollar denominated as their functional currency. The

assets and liabilities of our entities with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at

exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenue and expense amounts for these entities are translated using the

average exchange rates for the period. Changes resulting from foreign currency translation are included in “Accumulated

other comprehensive (loss) income.” Net foreign currency exchange transaction losses, which are included in “Other expense,

net” on our consolidated statements of income (loss), were $13.7 million, $27.3 million and $24.6 million for 2025, 2024 and

2023, respectively. These net foreign currency exchange losses are presented net of the impact of the foreign currency

forward contracts designed to mitigate their effect on our consolidated statements of income (loss).

F-17

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Share Repurchase Programs

Repurchases of our common stock are recorded as reductions to “Common Stock” and “Additional paid-in capital”

pursuant to our established accounting policy. Repurchases in excess of the par value will be recorded as reductions to

“Retained earnings” in the event that “Additional paid-in capital” is reduced to zero.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Segment Reporting

In 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07,

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public

entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items. ASU 2023-07 also requires public entities to

provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required

annually. ASU 2023-07 became effective for the annual period starting on January 1, 2024, and for the interim periods

starting on January 1, 2025. We have disclosed significant segment expenses, other segment items, and our measure of

segment profit or loss in Note Q, “Segment Information.”

Income Tax Disclosures

In 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU

2023-09”), which requires public entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information

about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if

items meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 became effective for the annual period starting on January 1, 2025. The

adoption of ASU 2023-09, on a prospective basis, resulted in expansion of our income tax footnote disclosures in Note O,

“Income Taxes,” including a more detailed effective tax rate reconciliation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In 2024, the FASB issued 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.

**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 AIPR&D included $133.0 million,

$4.6 billion and $527.1 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to upfront, contingent milestone, or other

F-18

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

payments pursuant to our business development transactions. In 2024, our AIPR&D included $4.4 billion associated with our

acquisition of Alpine Immune Sciences, Inc. (“Alpine”) as discussed below.

Asset Acquisitions

Alpine Immune Sciences, Inc. - povetacicept

On May 20, 2024, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Alpine, a publicly traded

biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing innovative, protein-based immunotherapies for

approximately $5.0 billion. We funded the Alpine acquisition with our cash and cash equivalents.

Alpine’s lead molecule, povetacicept, is a dual inhibitor of B cell activating factor (“BAFF”) and a proliferation-inducing

ligand (“APRIL”) pathways. As of the acquisition date, povetacicept was in Phase 2 development and had shown potential

best-in-class efficacy in IgAN, a serious progressive, life-threatening kidney disease that often progresses to end-stage-renal

disease. Due to its mechanism of action as a dual BAFF/APRIL inhibitor, povetacicept also holds the potential to benefit

patients with multiple diseases, such as pMN and generalized myasthenia gravis. 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 fair value attributed to povetacicept was expensed to AIPR&D in 2024.

We paid total cash of $5.0 billion at the acquisition date, which included $4.8 billion to acquire Alpine and

$197.6 million for cash-settled unvested Alpine equity awards. The $197.6 million represented post-acquisition expense,

which was recorded as $165.0 million of “Research and development expenses” and $32.6 million of “Selling, general and

administrative expenses.”

The total cash paid to acquire Alpine, allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and

AIPR&D was as follows:

(in millions)
Cash consideration to acquire Alpine’s outstanding common stock$4,536.9
Cash consideration for Alpine’s vested and unvested equity awards420.6

Total liabilities(37.5)
Total identifiable assets acquired, net377.4
Acquired in-process research and development expense4,423.2
Total consideration allocated$4,800.6

In-license Agreements

We have entered into several in-license agreements to advance and obtain access to technologies and services related to

our research and early-development activities. We are generally required to make an upfront payment upon execution of our

license agreements; development, regulatory and commercialization milestones payments upon the achievement of certain

F-19

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

product research, development and commercialization objectives; and royalty payments on future sales, if any, of commercial

products resulting from our collaborations.

Pursuant to the terms of our in-license agreements, our collaborators typically lead the discovery efforts and we lead all

preclinical, development and commercialization activities associated with the advancement of any product candidates and

fund all expenses.

We typically can terminate our in-license agreements by providing advance notice to our collaborators. Our license

agreements may be terminated by either party for a material breach by the other, subject to notice and cure provisions. Unless

earlier terminated, these license agreements generally remain in effect until the date on which the royalty term and all

payment obligations with respect to all products in all countries have expired.

CRISPR Therapeutics AG

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene-editing Therapies Agreements

In 2015, we entered into a strategic collaboration, option and license agreement (the “CRISPR Agreement”) with

CRISPR and its affiliates to collaborate on the discovery and development of potential new treatments aimed at the

underlying genetic causes of human diseases using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology. We had the exclusive right to

license certain targets. In 2019, we elected to exclusively license three targets, including CF, pursuant to the CRISPR

Agreement. For each of the three targets that we elected to license, CRISPR has the potential to receive up to an additional

$410.0 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as royalties on resulting net product sales.

In 2017, we entered into a joint development and commercialization agreement with CRISPR (the “CRISPR JDCA”),

which we amended and restated in 2021, pursuant to the terms of the CRISPR Agreement. Under the CRISPR JDCA, we and

CRISPR were co-developing and preparing to co-commercialize CASGEVY for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies,

including treatments for SCD and TDT.

Pursuant to the CRISPR JDCA, we lead global development, manufacturing and commercialization of CASGEVY, with

support from CRISPR. We also conduct all research, development, manufacturing and commercialization activities relating

to other product candidates and products under the CRISPR JDCA throughout the world subject to CRISPR’s reserved right

to conduct certain activities.

CASGEVY was approved by the FDA in December 2023 for the treatment of SCD. In connection with this approval, we

made a $200.0 million milestone payment to CRISPR in January 2024. Please refer to Note J, “Goodwill and Other

Intangible Assets,” for further information. Subsequent to receiving marketing approval for CASGEVY, we continue to lead

the research and development activities under the CRISPR JDCA, subject to CRISPR’s reserved right to conduct certain

activities. We are reimbursed by CRISPR for its 40% share of these research and development activities, subject to certain

adjustments, and we record this reimbursement from CRISPR as a credit within “Research and development expenses.” We

also 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 have recognized related to the CRISPR

JDCA. In 2025 and 2024, we recognized net reimbursements from CRISPR pursuant to the CRISPR JDCA as credits to

“Cost of sales” of $146.8 million and $73.5 million, respectively, related to CRISPR’s share of the CRISPR JDCA’s net

commercial loss, and to “Research and development expenses” of $62.2 million and $31.6 million, respectively, related to

CRISPR’s share of the CRISPR JDCA’s research and development activities.

During 2025, we received $12.5 million from CRISPR, pursuant to the CRISPR JDCA, for its share of our upfront

payment paid to Orna Therapeutics in December 2024, which we recorded as a credit to AIPR&D in 2025.

Prior to receiving marketing approval from the FDA for CASGEVY in December 2023, we accounted for the CRISPR

JDCA as a cost-sharing arrangement, with costs incurred related to CASGEVY allocated 60% to us and 40% to CRISPR,

subject to certain adjustments. In 2023, we recognized net reimbursements from CRISPR as credits to “Research and

development expenses” of $61.9 million to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” of $32.0 million, related to

CRISPR’s share of the CRISPR JDCA’s operating expenses.

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene-editing Hypoimmune Cell Therapies Agreement

In 2023, we entered into a non-exclusive license agreement (the “CRISPR T1D Agreement”) for the use of CRISPR’s

CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology to accelerate the development of our hypoimmune cell therapies for T1D. Pursuant to

the CRISPR T1D Agreement, we made a $100.0 million upfront payment to CRISPR, and we determined that substantially

all the fair value of our upfront payment was attributable to in-process research and development, for which there is no

alternative future use, and that no substantive processes were acquired that would constitute a business. In the second quarter

of 2023, we achieved a research milestone that resulted in a $70.0 million payment to CRISPR. We recorded the upfront

payment and the research milestone, totaling $170.0 million, to AIPR&D in 2023. In 2024, we achieved additional research

milestones totaling $35.0 million, which were recorded to AIPR&D. CRISPR is eligible to receive up to an additional

$125.0 million in research, development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as royalties on resulting net product

sales.

Entrada Therapeutics, Inc.

In 2023, we entered into a strategic collaboration and license agreement (the “Entrada Agreement”) with Entrada

Therapeutics, Inc. (“Entrada”) focused on discovering and developing intracellular therapeutics for DM1. Upon closing, we

made an upfront payment of $225.1 million to Entrada, and purchased $24.9 million of Entrada’s common stock in

connection with the Entrada Agreement. We determined that substantially all the fair value of our upfront payment was

attributable to in-process research and development, for which there was no alternative future use, and that no substantive

processes were acquired that would constitute a business. In 2024 and 2023, Entrada also earned milestones of $75.0 million

and $17.5 million, respectively. As a result, we recorded $75.0 million and $242.6 million in total to AIPR&D in 2024 and

2023, respectively. We recorded the investment in Entrada’s common stock at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet

within “Marketable securities.” Entrada is eligible to receive up to an additional $335.0 million in development, regulatory

and commercial milestones for any products that may result from the Entrada Agreement, as well as royalties on resulting net

product sales.

Moderna, Inc.

In 2016, we entered into a strategic collaboration and licensing agreement with Moderna, Inc. (“Moderna”), pursuant to

which the parties are seeking to identify and develop messenger ribonucleic acid (“mRNA”) therapeutics encoding cystic

fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator for the treatment of CF. Moderna is eligible to receive up to $270.0 million in

development and regulatory milestones as well as royalties on net product sales related to this agreement.

Additional In-License Agreements and Other Arrangements

In addition to the agreements described above, we recorded upfront, option and milestone payments totaling $145.5

million in 2025, $95.2 million in 2024 and $114.5 million in 2023 to AIPR&D related to additional in-license agreements and

other business development transactions that we do not consider to be individually significant to our consolidated financial

statements. For each of these transactions, we determined that substantially all the fair value of the consideration for each

individual agreement was attributable to in-process research and development, for which we did not have any alternative

future use, and no substantive processes were acquired that would constitute a business.

Please refer to Note D, “Fair Value Measurements,” and Note E, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments,” for

further information regarding our investments in our collaborators.

Out-license Agreements

We have entered into licensing agreements pursuant to which we have out-licensed rights to certain product candidates to

third-party collaborators. Pursuant to these out-license agreements, our collaborators may become responsible for all costs

related to the continued development of such product candidates and obtain development and commercialization rights to

these product candidates, either globally or within certain geographic regions. Depending on the terms of the agreements, our

collaborators may be required to make upfront payments, milestone payments upon the achievement of certain product

research, development and regulatory objectives and may also be required to pay royalties on future sales, if any, of

commercial products resulting from the collaboration. The termination provisions associated with these collaborations are

generally the same as those described above related to our in-license agreements.

Zai Lab Limited

In January 2025, we entered into an agreement with Zai for the development and commercialization of povetacicept for

mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Taiwan region, and Singapore. Under the agreement, Zai will help advance

the povetacicept clinical trials and will be responsible for obtaining marketing authorizations in the licensed territories. Zai

will also be responsible for commercialization activities in the licensed territories, if povetacicept becomes an approved

product. Under the terms of the agreement, we received a $10.0 million upfront payment in the first quarter of 2025, which

was recorded as “Other revenues.” We are eligible to receive from Zai certain milestone payments and tiered royalties on

future net sales of povetacicept in the region of focus.

Ono Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.

In June 2025, we entered into an agreement with Ono for the development and commercialization of povetacicept for

Japan and South Korea. Under the agreement, Ono will help advance the povetacicept clinical trials and will be responsible

for obtaining marketing authorizations in Japan and South Korea. Ono will also be responsible for commercialization

activities in Japan and South Korea, if povetacicept becomes an approved product. Under the terms of the agreement, we

received a $20.6 million upfront payment in the second quarter of 2025, which was recorded as “Other revenues.” We are

eligible to receive from Ono certain milestone payments and tiered royalties on future net sales of povetacicept in Japan and

South Korea.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

In 2004, we entered into an agreement (the “CFF 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 CFF 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.”

**D.**Fair Value Measurements

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on observable inputs and unobservable

inputs used to determine the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

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

Fair Value of Corporate Equity Securities

We classify our investments in publicly traded corporate equity securities as “Marketable securities” on our 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 Equity Investments,” for further information on these investments.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

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

potentially payable to former equity holders of Exonics Therapeutics, Inc., 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

4.1% and 4.5% as of December 31, 2025, 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.

**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 consolidated

statements of income (loss) in the same period that we recognize the product revenues that were impacted by the hedged

foreign exchange rate changes.

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 December 31, 2025, all hedges were determined to be highly effective.

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 expense, net” in our consolidated statements of income (loss) each period. As of

December 31, 2025 and 2024, the notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts where hedge

accounting under U.S. GAAP was not applied was $612.6 million and $367.0 million, respectively.

In March 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 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

December 31, 2025, our remaining indefinite-lived in-process research and development assets were associated with our T1D

program.

In 2023, we recorded a total of $238.0 million of finite-lived intangible assets following the regulatory approval of

CASGEVY in several markets, which we are amortizing on a straight-line basis over the longer of the last underlying patents

**L.**Leases

A summary of our most significant leases, including real estate and embedded leases with contract manufacturing

organizations, is as follows:

Corporate Headquarters

In 2011, we entered into two lease agreements, pursuant to which we lease approximately 1.1 million square feet of

office and laboratory space in two buildings in Boston, Massachusetts for a term of 15 years (our “Corporate Headquarters”).

In August 2024, we amended the existing lease agreements to, among other terms, extend the lease termination dates from

December 2028 to June 2044 (the “Amendments”). We have the option to extend the amended leases for up to two additional

ten-year periods.

The Amendments did not grant us any additional rights of use not contemplated in the existing lease agreements. As a

result, we accounted for the Amendments as modifications that extended the terms of the existing leases and reassessed the

classification of the leases as of their effective dates. We remeasured the lease liabilities using our incremental borrowing rate

as of the effective date of the Amendments and classified the leases associated with our Corporate Headquarters as operating

leases. As a result, we obtained right-of-use operating lease assets of $847.9 million in exchange for operating lease

obligations of $1.0 billion and reduced our finance lease liabilities and property and equipment by $275.3 million and

$107.5 million, respectively.

Jeffrey Leiden Center for Biologics, Cell and Genetic Therapies Campus (“Leiden Campus”)

In 2019, we entered into an agreement to lease approximately 269,000 square feet of office and laboratory space at our

Leiden Campus near our corporate headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts for a term of 16 years (“Leiden I”), which is

classified as an operating lease. Base rent payments commenced in 2021 and will continue through November 2036. We

utilize the initial period as our lease term. We have an option to extend the lease term for up to two additional ten-year

periods.

F-33

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In 2024, we entered into a lease agreement for a second building (“Leiden II”) at our Leiden Campus. The Leiden II

lease, which commenced in 2025, includes approximately 348,000 square feet of office and laboratory space for a term of

approximately 16 years. Upon lease commencement, we recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, net of

tenant allowances, of $296.7 million within each of “Operating lease assets” and “Long-term operating lease liabilities” on

our consolidated balance sheet. We anticipate that base rent payments will commence in the first quarter of 2027 and expect

them to continue through the first quarter of 2042. We have an option to extend the Leiden II term for up to two additional

ten-year periods. We utilize the initial period as our lease term.

Lonza Portsmouth - T1D Facility

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

candidates, pursuant to which we have partnered with Lonza to build a 130,000 square foot dedicated new facility operated

by Lonza in New Hampshire. The lease commencement for the facility occurred in the first quarter of 2026. Lease payments

will continue through the tenth anniversary of the facility’s regulatory approval for commercial production. We will complete

the lease accounting analysis for this facility in the first quarter of 2026.

Please refer to our accounting policy, Leases, in Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies,” for further

information on the accounting treatment for our leases.

**M.**Common Stock, Preferred Stock and Equity Plans

Common Stock and Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 500.0 million shares of common stock. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per

share. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by our Board of Directors, and to

share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders in the event of liquidation. Holders of common

stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The holders of common stock do not have

cumulative voting rights.

We are authorized to issue 1.0 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the powers, designations,

preferences and relative participating, option or other rights thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting

rights, redemption terms, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series, without any further vote or

action by our shareholders. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Share Repurchase Programs

In February 2023, our Board of Directors approved 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 December 31, 2025, we

had repurchased the full amount authorized under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. In May 2025, our Board of Directors

approved 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.

F-36

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we repurchased 4.8 million, 2.7 million and 1.3 million shares of our common stock,

respectively, under these programs for an aggregate of $2.0 billion, $1.2 billion and $427.6 million, respectively. As of

December 31, 2025, we had $3.4 billion remaining authorization under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program, which does not

have an expiration date and can be discontinued at any time.

Stock and Option Plans

The purpose of each of our stock and option plans is to attract, retain and motivate our employees, consultants and

directors. Awards granted under these plans can be nonstatutory stock options (“NSOs”), incentive stock options (“ISOs”),

RSUs including PSUs, restricted stock (“RSs”), or other equity-based awards, as specified in the individual plans.

Shares issued under all of our plans are funded through the issuance of new shares. The following table contains

information about our equity plans:

Title of PlanGroup EligibleType of Award Granted
2013 Stock and Option PlanEmployees, Non-employee Directors and ConsultantsNSO, RS, RSU and PSU
2006 Stock and Option PlanEmployees, Non-employee Directors and ConsultantsNSO, RS and RSU

As of December 31, 2025, we are authorized to grant 10.9 million additional awards under our 2013 Stock and Option

Plan and have 4.4 million awards outstanding. We are no longer authorized to grant additional awards under our 2006 Stock

and Option Plan.

Restricted Stock Units (excluding PSUs)

The following table summarizes our restricted stock unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2025:

Vested(1,393)$345.20
Cancelled(218)$425.63
Unvested at December 31, 20252,546$431.34

The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 (measured based on the market price

of our common stock on the date of vesting) was $654.6 million, $666.0 million and $433.4 million, respectively.

Performance-based RSUs (PSUs)

Certain members of senior management receive approximately 50% of their annual equity compensation in the form of

PSUs. 50% of the number of PSUs are eligible to vest based on the achievement of one-year financial goals and the

remaining PSUs are eligible to vest based on the achievement of non-financial goals, such as clinical development, regulatory

and/or manufacturing-related milestones. The financial PSUs, if earned, vest in annual installments over a three-year period

measured from the date of grant, and the non-financial PSUs, if earned, cliff vest at the conclusion of the performance period.

The potential shares earned pursuant to these PSU awards range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares, with the

number of shares issued determined by the achievement of the financial and non-financial performance goals.

(2) “Granted” represents (i) the target number of shares issuable for grants during 2025 and (ii) any change in the number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSUs based on performance certification during 2025.

The total fair value of PSUs that vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 (measured on the date of vesting) was $276.6

million, $347.1 million and $160.4 million, respectively.

Stock Options

All options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date

of grant. All options awarded under our stock and option plans, cannot have an exercise price less than fair market value on

the date of grant and cannot expire more than 10 years from the grant date. In each of the three years ended December 31,

2025, we only granted stock options to certain of our non-employee directors.

The following table summarizes information related to the outstanding and exercisable options during the year ended

December 31, 2025:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount, net of exercise price, that would have

been received by option holders if all option holders had exercised all options with an exercise price lower than the market

price on the last business day of 2025, which was $453.36 based on the closing price of our common stock on that date.

The total intrinsic value (the amount by which the fair market value exceeded the exercise price) of stock options

exercised during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $147.8 million, $112.8 million and $128.4 million, respectively. The total cash we

received as a result of stock option exercises during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $55.6 million, $50.0 million and $80.8 million,

respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We have an employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP permits eligible employees to enroll in a twelve-

month offering period comprising two six-month purchase periods. Participants may purchase shares of our common stock,

through payroll deductions, at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first day of the

applicable twelve-month offering period, or the last day of the applicable six-month purchase period, whichever is lower.

Purchase dates under the ESPP occur on or about May 14 and November 14 of each year. As of December 31, 2025, there

were 0.9 million shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the ESPP.

In 2025, the following shares were issued to employees under the ESPP:

Year Ended December 31, 2025
Number of shares (in thousands)199
Average price paid per share$362.43

Employee Benefits

We have a 401(k) retirement plan (the “Vertex 401(k) Plan”) in which substantially all of our permanent U.S. employees

are eligible to participate. Participants may contribute up to 60% of their annual compensation to the Vertex 401(k) Plan,

subject to statutory limitations. We may declare discretionary matching contributions to the Vertex 401(k) Plan. We pay

matching contributions in the form of cash. In ex-U.S. markets, we have similar benefit plans. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we

recorded approximately $63.1 million, $52.3 million and $43.6 million of expense related to these plans, respectively.

**N.**Stock-based Compensation Expense

We recognize share-based payments to employees as compensation expense using the fair value method. The fair value

of restricted stock units, including PSUs, is based on the intrinsic value on the date of grant. The fair value of shares

purchased pursuant to the ESPP and stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based

compensation expense, measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, is typically recognized ratably over

the requisite service period.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

We award restricted stock units with service conditions, which are generally the vesting periods of the awards.

Our PSUs granted to certain members of senior management are described in Note M, “Common Stock, Preferred Stock

and Equity Plans.” The financial-based PSUs, with a one-year performance period, are expensed ratably over their three-year

vesting period. During the performance period, they are expensed based upon an assessment of the likely level of

achievement. The non-financial based PSUs cliff vest at the end of their performance period, which is approximately three

years. They are expensed on a straight-line basis over the same period based upon an assessment of the likely level of

achievement.

Unremitted Earnings

As of December 31, 2025, we do not consider a portion of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely

reinvested. Upon repatriation of the non-indefinitely invested earnings in the form of distributions or otherwise, we could be

subject to immaterial U.S. federal withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries and income taxes in certain states.

There are no material deferred taxes recorded on the excess of financial statement reporting over the tax basis of our

investments in our foreign subsidiaries. Any permanently reinvested basis differences could reverse if we sell our foreign

subsidiaries or various other events occur, none of which were considered probable as of December 31, 2025. The tax

liabilities described above would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Non-deductible AIPR&D373.8%—%
Other27.9%1.1%
Effective tax rate315.5%17.4%

Our 14.9% effective tax rate for 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to research and development

tax credits, increased utilization of foreign tax credits, and excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

Our 315.5% effective tax rate for 2024 was materially different than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the

$4.4 billion of non-deductible AIPR&D resulting from our acquisition of Alpine, which significantly lowered our pre-tax

income. The non-deductible AIPR&D was partially offset by a benefit from a research and development tax credit study that

was completed in 2024 and excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

Our 17.4% effective tax rate for 2023 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to a benefit from a research

and development tax credit study that was completed in 2023 and excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation,

partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between financial statement and tax bases using

enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The components of the deferred taxes

were as follows:

As of December 31,
20252024

Other(187.1)(285.5)
Total deferred tax liabilities(499.8)(557.4)
Net deferred tax assets$2,897.9$2,331.1

On a periodic basis, we reassess the valuation allowance on our deferred income tax assets, weighing positive and

negative evidence to assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2025, we maintained a valuation

allowance of $326.2 million related to U.S. state tax attributes.

In addition to deferred tax assets and liabilities, we have recorded deferred charges related to intra-entity sales of

inventory. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total deferred charges were $318.4 million and $279.3 million,

respectively.

Tax Attributes

As of December 31, 2025, we had the following net operating losses (“NOLs”), capital losses, and tax credit

carryforwards, which if not utilized, will begin to expire in the year listed below:

As of December 31, 2025
AmountYear
(in millions)
Federal net operating loss carryforwards$57.32028
Federal capital loss carryforwards$27.62027
Federal research and development tax credit carryforwards$3.62034
State net operating loss carryforwards$450.22027
State research and development tax credit carryforwards$471.72026
Foreign net operating loss carryforwards$30.32041
Foreign tax credit carryforwards$15.92026

Included in the amounts above are $84.9 million of NOLs, and $64.6 million of credits that have unlimited carryforward

periods.

Our NOLs and credits could be subject to annual limitations due to ownership change limitations provided by U.S.

Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. An annual limitation could result in the

expiration of NOLs and tax credit carryforward before utilization. There are limitations on the tax attributes of acquired

entities however, we do not believe the limitations will have a material impact on the utilization of the NOLs or tax credits.

Changes in foreign exchange rates43.9(0.5)0.3
Balance at end of period$852.1$706.2$615.9

During 2025, we increased our gross unrecognized tax benefits by $145.9 million, primarily associated with

intercompany transfer pricing matters. The unrecognized tax benefits were recorded as a $7.4 million decrease to our gross

deferred tax assets and a $138.5 million increase to our gross tax liability.

During 2024, we increased our gross unrecognized tax benefits by $90.3 million, primarily associated with intercompany

transfer pricing matters. The unrecognized tax benefits were recorded as a $1.6 million increase to our gross deferred tax

assets and a $91.9 million increase to our gross tax liability.

During 2023, we increased our gross unrecognized tax benefits by $156.3 million, primarily associated with

intercompany transfer pricing matters. This unrecognized tax benefit was recorded as a $3.7 million increase to our gross

deferred tax assets and a $160.0 million increase to our gross tax liability.

As of December 31, 2025, we have classified $46.2 million, and $805.9 million of our unrecognized tax benefits as

credits to “Deferred tax assets,” and “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet.

Included in our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had $436.6 million, $341.4

million and $288.7 million (net of the federal benefit on state issues), respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, which would

affect our effective income tax rate if recognized.

We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in our provision for income taxes. In

2025 and 2023, we recognized total net interest and penalty expenses of $13.1 million and $84.9 million, respectively. In

2024, we recognized total net interest and penalty credits of $41.5 million. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our accrual

for interest and penalties was $95.7 million and $82.6 million, respectively.

The IRS and other local and foreign tax authorities routinely examine our tax returns, including intercompany transfer

pricing, and it is reasonably possible that we will adjust the value of our uncertain tax positions related these matters and

other issues as we receive additional information from various taxing authorities, including reaching settlements with such

authorities. In the case of intercompany transfer pricing, it is reasonably possible that taxing authorities do not agree with

each other on the reallocation of income or the valuation of intellectual property, in which case we could be subject to double

taxation, despite bilateral treaty agreements available to prevent this. In 2023, we came to settlement with the U.K’s HM

Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) with respect to our tax positions for 2015 through 2020 and subsequently received Closure

Notices for those periods in 2024. Due to the nature of the adjustments, 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.

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 NOLs 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.

In December 2022, E.U. 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 of the 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 2025 U.S. taxes, 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.

**P.**Commitments and Contingencies

2022 Credit Facility

In July 2022, Vertex and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $500.0 million unsecured revolving facility (the “Credit

Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders referred to therein (the “Lenders”), which

matures on July 1, 2027. The Credit Agreement was not drawn upon at closing and we have not drawn upon it to date.

Amounts drawn pursuant to the Credit Agreement, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes. Subject to satisfaction

of certain conditions, we may request that the borrowing capacity for the Credit Agreement be increased by an additional

$500.0 million. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides a sublimit of $100.0 million for letters of credit.

Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either a base rate or a Secured

Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), in each case plus an applicable margin. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable

margins on base rate loans range from 0.000% to 0.500% and the applicable margins on SOFR loans range from 1.000% to

1.500%, in each case based on 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).

Any amounts borrowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our existing and future domestic

subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants,

including a financial covenant to maintain subject to certain limited exceptions, a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00,

subject to an increase to 4.00 to 1.00 following a material acquisition. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with

the covenants described above. The Credit Agreement 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 outstanding loans.

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

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.

F-47

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

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 $837.8 million. 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 December 31, 2025 or 2024.

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 December 31, 2025 or 2024.

**Q.**Segment Information

Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision

maker (“CODM”), manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses performance. We operate in one segment,

pharmaceuticals. We have selected net income (loss) as our reported measure of segment profit or loss because it is regularly

provided to our CODM, allows our CODM to allocate resources because it encapsulates the results of our processes that

generate revenues and expenses, and is important to the users of our financial statements. Enterprise-wide disclosures about

revenues, significant customers, significant segment expenses, and property and equipment, net by location are presented

below.
