"2025 was an exceptional year for Jazz, representing our 21st consecutive year of top-line growth and underscoring our commitment to operational excellence as we deliver meaningful innovation for patients," said Renee Gala, president and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "In the fourth quarter, our disciplined execution resulted in $1.2 billion in revenue, reflecting 10% year-over-year growth and our highest revenue quarter ever. This performance provides us with strong momentum into 2026, as we prepare for the potential launch of zanidatamab in GEA, sustain launch execution for Modeyso and Zepzelca, and reinforce the differentiated profiles of Epidiolex and Xywav as the leading branded treatments for epilepsy and narcolepsy, respectively. In parallel, we continue to advance our pipeline and pursue a corporate development strategy aligned with our rare disease focus that supports durable growth and long-term value creation for patients and shareholders."
"Jazz had a transformative year across our R&D pipeline, led by the HERIZON-GEA-01 data, which we believe firmly positions zanidatamab as the HER2-targeted agent of choice, with the potential to reshape first-line treatment for HER2+ metastatic GEA patients," said Rob Iannone, M.D., M.S.C.E., executive vice president, global head of research and development, and chief medical officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "We expect to build on this progress in 2026, as these results not only highlight zanidatamab’s potential to help patients with GEA, but also de-risk our clinical trials in additional indications, including HER2+ metastatic breast cancer."

Changes in operating expenses and income tax (benefit) expense in 2025 and 4Q25 over the prior year periods are primarily due to the following:
•Cost of product sales, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to changes in product mix. Cost of product sales, on a GAAP basis, in 2025 included higher acquisition accounting inventory fair value step up expense compared to 2024. Cost of product sales, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 4Q25 compared to 4Q24, primarily due to changes in product mix, partially offset by lower inventory provisions.
•Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements of $234 million, the Avadel litigation settlement of $90 million and higher compensation-related expenses. SG&A expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 4Q25 compared to 4Q24, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses.
•Research and development (R&D) expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, decreased in 2025 and 4Q25, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to lower clinical study costs primarily related to zanidatamab as a result of timing of clinical trial activities, JZP385 (essential tremor) following discontinuation of this program, and JZP258 (XYLO/DUET) due to the completion of these trials in the first half of 2025, partially offset by the addition of costs relating to Modeyso and increased personnel costs following the acquisition of Chimerix.
•Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) in 2025, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, represents the value allocated to Modeyso in the Chimerix Acquisition of $905 million and the upfront payment made in connection with our global license agreement with Saniona of $43 million.
•Income tax benefit in 2025, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, included a benefit of $213 million on recognition of certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets acquired through the Chimerix acquisition. Income tax benefit, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, in 4Q24 was primarily due to patent box benefits recognized.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and investments were $2.4 billion, and the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s long-term debt was $5.4 billion. In addition, the Company had undrawn borrowing capacity under a revolving credit facility of $885 million.
