Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
**A.**Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Vertex
Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of Vertex and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We operate in one segment, pharmaceuticals.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) have been condensed or omitted. These interim
financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position and results of income for the interim periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected
for the full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are contained in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including in
certain circumstances future projections that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03,
Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities, among other items, to
disclose in a tabular format, on an annual and interim basis, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation,
intangible asset amortization and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU 2024-03
becomes effective for the annual period starting on January 1, 2027 and interim periods starting on January 1, 2028. We are
in the process of analyzing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our disclosures.
Internal-Use Software
In 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which eliminates consideration of the
software project development stages and replaces them with modernized recognition and measurement guidance designed to
reflect current internal-use software development practices. ASU 2025-06 becomes effective for the annual and interim
periods starting on January 1, 2028. We are in the process of analyzing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 will
have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note A, “Nature of Business and Accounting Policies,” in our 2025
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
**B.**Collaboration, License and Other Arrangements
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
We have entered into numerous business development agreements with third parties to collaborate on research,
development and commercialization programs, license technologies, or acquire assets. Our “Acquired in-process research and
VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
development expenses” (“AIPR&D”) included $0.5 million and $19.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025, respectively, related to upfront, contingent milestone, or other payments pursuant to our business development
transactions.
Our collaboration, licensing and asset acquisition agreements that had a significant impact on our financial statements for
the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 or were new or materially revised during the three months ended March 31,
2026, are described below. Additional agreements are described in Note B, “Collaboration, License and Other
Arrangements,” of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In-license Agreements
CRISPR Therapeutics AG
We have a joint development and commercialization agreement (the “CRISPR JDCA”) with CRISPR Therapeutics AG
and its affiliates (“CRISPR”). Pursuant to the CRISPR JDCA, we lead global development, manufacturing and
commercialization of CASGEVY for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies, including treatments for severe sickle cell disease
(“SCD”) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia, with support from CRISPR.
We share with CRISPR 40% of the net commercial profits or losses incurred with respect to CASGEVY, subject to
certain adjustments, which is recorded to “Cost of sales.” The net commercial profits or losses equal the sum of the product
revenues, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses that we recognized during the applicable period
related to the CRISPR JDCA. We also are reimbursed by CRISPR for its 40% share of the research and development
activities conducted under the CRISPR JDCA, subject to certain adjustments, and we record this reimbursement from
CRISPR as a credit within “Research and development expenses.”
In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded a $12.5 million credit to AIPR&D from CRISPR, reflecting its share of our
upfront payment paid to Orna Therapeutics in December 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the credits recognized in our condensed consolidated
statements of income for CRISPR’s share of CRISPR JDCA activities were as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||
| (in millions) | |||
| Cost of sales | $23.1 | $36.2 | |
| Research and development expenses | $16.1 | $16.0 | |
| Acquired in-process research and development expenses | $— | $12.5 |
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
In 2004, we entered into an agreement with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (the “CFF”), as successor in interest to the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics, Inc., to support research and development activities. Pursuant to the agreement, as
amended, we have agreed to pay tiered royalties ranging from single digits to sub-teens on covered compounds first
synthesized and/or tested during a research term on or before February 28, 2014, including ivacaftor, lumacaftor and
tezacaftor, and royalties ranging from low-single digits to mid-single digits on net sales of certain compounds first
synthesized and/or tested between March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2016, including elexacaftor. We do not have any royalty
obligations on compounds first synthesized and tested on or after September 1, 2016. For combination products, such as
ORKAMBI, SYMDEKO/SYMKEVI, TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO, and ALYFTREK, sales are allocated equally to each of the
active pharmaceutical ingredients in the combination product, and royalties are then paid for any royalty-bearing components
included in the combination. We record expenses related to these royalty obligations to “Cost of sales.”

Please refer to Note E, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments,” for the carrying amount and related unrealized
gains (losses) by type of investment. Our cash equivalents primarily include money market funds, commercial paper, and
time deposits.
Fair Value of Corporate Equity Securities
We classify our investments in publicly traded corporate equity securities as “Marketable securities” on our condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Generally, our investments in the common stock of publicly traded companies are valued based
on Level 1 inputs because they have readily determinable fair values.
Please refer to Note E, “Marketable Securities and Equity Investments,” for further information on these investments.
Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Our Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities of $79.2 million are related to $678.3 million of development and
regulatory milestones potentially payable to former equity holders of a privately-held company we acquired in 2019. We base
our estimates of the probability of achieving the milestones relevant to the fair value of contingent payments on industry data
attributable to gene therapies and our knowledge of the progress and viability of the associated Duchenne muscular dystrophy
programs. The discount rates used in the valuation model for contingent payments, which were between 4.4% and 4.6% as of
March 31, 2026, represent a measure of credit risk and market risk associated with settling the liabilities. Significant
judgment is used in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions at each reporting period.

**G.**Hedging
Foreign currency forward contracts - Designated as hedging instruments
We maintain a hedging program intended to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates for a portion of our
forecasted product revenues denominated in certain foreign currencies. The program includes foreign currency forward
contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP having contractual durations from one to 36 months. We
recognize realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts in “Product revenues, net” in our condensed
consolidated statements of income in the same period that we recognize the product revenues that were impacted by the
hedged foreign exchange rate changes.
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
VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
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 March 31, 2026, all hedges were determined to be highly effective.
We consider the impact of our counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts. As
of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, credit risk did not change the fair value of our foreign currency forward
contracts.
The following table summarizes the notional amount in U.S. dollars of our outstanding foreign currency forward
contracts designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP:
| As of March 31, 2026 | As of December 31, 2025 | ||
| Foreign Currency | (in millions) | ||
| Euro | $4,112.0 | $4,677.9 | |

| Swiss franc | 109.2 | 126.0 | |
| Total foreign currency forward contracts | $5,321.6 | $6,080.1 |
Foreign currency forward contracts - Not designated as hedging instruments
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, typically with contractual maturities of approximately one month,
which are designed to mitigate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities, including
intercompany balances. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. We recognize realized
gains and losses for such contracts in “Other expense, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of income each period.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts
where hedge accounting under U.S. GAAP was not applied was $868.0 million and $612.6 million, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized the following related to foreign currency
forward contracts in our condensed consolidated statements of income:

In March 2025, based on results from a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating our VX-264 clinical program in patients with
type 1 diabetes (“T1D”), we concluded that VX-264 will not be advancing further in clinical development. Based on this
event, we performed an interim impairment test on the fair value of our VX-264 indefinite-lived in-process research and
development asset that we acquired from Semma Therapeutics, Inc. in 2019. As a result, using the multi period earnings
method of the income approach, we recorded a full intangible asset impairment charge of $379.0 million in the first quarter of
- As of March 31, 2026, our remaining indefinite-lived in-process research and development assets were associated with
our T1D program.
**J.**Stock-based Compensation Expense and Share Repurchase Programs
Stock-based compensation expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized the following stock-based compensation

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Share repurchase program
In February 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase
Program”), pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of our common stock. As of September 30,
2025, we had repurchased the full amount authorized under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program.
In May 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional share repurchase program (the “2025 Share Repurchase
Program”), pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $4.0 billion of our common stock. The 2025 Share
Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and can be discontinued at any time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 0.7 million and 0.9 million shares of our
common stock under our share repurchase programs, respectively, for aggregate repurchases of $344.5 million and $416.9
million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had $3.0 billion remaining available under the 2025 Share Repurchase
Program.
**K.**Income Taxes
We are subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
we recorded the following provisions for income taxes and effective tax rates as compared to our income before provision for
income taxes.
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||
| (in millions, except percentages) | |||
| Income before provision for income taxes | $1,252.9 | $730.4 | |
| Provision for income taxes | $221.5 | $84.1 |
| Effective tax rate | 17.7% | 11.5% |
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were lower than the U.S. statutory rate
primarily due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
We have reviewed the tax positions taken, or to be taken, in our tax returns for all tax years currently open to
examination by a taxing authority. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $420.3 million and $436.6 million,
respectively, of net unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect our tax rate if recognized.
We file U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. We have
various income tax audits ongoing at any time throughout the world. Except for jurisdictions where we have net operating
losses or tax credit carryforwards, we are no longer subject to any tax assessment from tax authorities for years prior to 2014
in jurisdictions that have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Due to the nature of the adjustments
from a settlement with the United Kingdom’s HM Revenue & Customs in 2023, we have asserted our rights under the U.S./
U.K. Income Tax Convention pursuant to the mutual agreement procedures for the relief of double taxation for these matters.
In December 2022, European Union member states reached an agreement to implement the minimum tax component
(“Pillar Two”) of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (the “OECD’s”), global international tax
reform initiative with effective dates of January 1, 2024 and 2025. On January 5, 2026, the OECD announced that a ‘side-by-
side’ agreement was reached with member countries creating safe harbors to exempt U.S. multi-nationals from certain taxes
under the Pillar Two regime by recognizing the U.S. tax system as a compatible domestic minimum tax regime. Our exposure
to other countries’ minimum tax regimes was limited before these changes, but the side-by-side agreement allows for
certainty as our structure may change in the future.
In July 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R.1, which includes significant provisions modifying the U.S. tax framework, including
the ability for companies to immediately deduct research and development expenditures for 2025 and provisions for
deducting previously capitalized amounts. H.R.1 does not have a material impact on our U.S. taxes for the first quarter of
2026, but we expect further guidance to be issued. We will review guidance when issued for impacts on future years and
disclose any impacts if needed at that time. These legislative changes could have an impact on our future effective tax rates,
tax liabilities, and cash taxes.

**L.**Commitments and Contingencies
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 March 31, 2026, 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.
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 $1.3 billion. Based on the CFF Agreement, our
position is that the royalty burden associated with ALYFTREK is 4%. On October 10, 2025, Royalty Pharma plc (“RP”), the
third party to whom the CFF assigned its rights (and the CFF, which remains a party to the CFF Agreement), initiated a
confidential arbitration alleging the royalty burden on ALYFTREK is approximately 8%. RP is seeking a declaratory
judgment regarding the royalty burden on ALYFTREK as well as alleged unpaid royalties and other alleged damages
available under the CFF Agreement or applicable law, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and interest. We believe RP’s position
is contrary to the plain terms of the CFF Agreement and intend to vigorously defend our position under the CFF Agreement.
On a quarterly basis, we evaluate developments with claims, whether asserted or unasserted, and legal proceedings that
could result in a loss contingency accrual, or an increase or decrease to a previously accrued loss contingency. There were no
material loss contingencies accrued as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
We also have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. We accrue for such
contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably
estimated. Other than our contingent consideration liabilities discussed in Note D, “Fair Value Measurements,” there were no
significant contingent liabilities accrued as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Additional Segment Information
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded total depreciation and amortization expense of
$55.9 million and $48.4 million, respectively.
**N.**Additional Balance Sheet & Cash Flow Information
Contract Liabilities
We had contract liabilities of $218.7 million and $171.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,
respectively, primarily related to annual contracts with government-owned and supported customers in international markets
that limit the amount of annual reimbursement we can receive for our CF products. Upon exceeding the annual
reimbursement amount provided by the customer’s contract with us, our CF products are provided free of charge, which is a
material right. These contracts include upfront payments and fees. If we estimate that we will exceed the annual
reimbursement amount under a contract, we defer a portion of the consideration received for shipments made up to the annual
reimbursement limit as a portion of “Other current liabilities.” Once the reimbursement limit has been reached, we recognize
the deferred amount as revenue when we ship the free products. Our CF product revenue contracts include performance
obligations that are one year or less.
Our contract liabilities at the end of each fiscal year relate to contracts with CF annual reimbursement limits in
international markets in which the annual period associated with the contract is not the same as our fiscal year. In these
markets, we recognize revenues related to performance obligations satisfied in previous years; however, these revenues do
not relate to any performance obligations that were satisfied more than 12 months prior to the beginning of the current year.
Operating Lease Assets and Liabilities
In 2023, we entered into a strategic agreement with Lonza to support the manufacture of T1D cell therapy product
candidates. As part of this agreement, we have partnered with Lonza to build a 130,000 square foot dedicated new facility in
New Hampshire, which will be operated by Lonza (the “Lonza Facility”) and is an embedded lease for accounting purposes.
The lease commencement for the Lonza Facility occurred during the first quarter of 2026, upon which we recorded a right-of-
use asset and corresponding lease liability of $95.8 million within each of “Operating lease assets” and “Long-term operating
lease liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with our policy for embedded leases with

contract manufacturing organizations, we account for the lease component separately from the variable non-lease
components, which we expense as incurred. Payments will continue through the tenth anniversary of the Lonza Facility’s
regulatory approval for commercial production. The lease will automatically renew for additional one-year periods, unless
either we or Lonza provides written notice of intent to not renew. We utilize the initial period as our lease term.
We obtained $148.2 million and $5.2 million of right-of-use operating lease assets in exchange for a similar amount of
lease obligations, including the Lonza Facility amounts described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025, respectively. These represent non-cash operating activities associated with our condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows.
