This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements contained in this report or implied by past results and trends. Forward-looking statements are statements that attempt to forecast or anticipate future developments in our business, financial condition or results of operations. See the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” that appears at the end of this discussion.

Overview

Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc is a global biopharmaceutical company whose purpose is to innovate to transform the lives of patients and their families. We are dedicated to developing life-changing medicines for people with rare disease – often with limited or no therapeutic options. We have a diverse portfolio of medicines, including leading therapies addressing epilepsies, cancers and sleep disorders. Our patient-focused and science-driven approach powers pioneering R&D advancements across our robust pipeline of innovative therapeutics.

Our strategy for growth is rooted in executing commercial launches and ongoing commercialization initiatives, advancing robust R&D programs and delivering impactful clinical results, effectively deploying capital to strengthen the prospects of achieving our short- and long-term goals through strategic corporate development, and delivering strong financial performance. We focus on rare diseases, which often have high unmet needs and small patient populations, resulting in efficient, concentrated call points. We seek to identify and develop highly differentiated therapies for these patients that we expect will be long-lived assets and that we can support with an efficient commercialization model. In addition, we leverage our efficient, scalable operating model and integrated capabilities across our global infrastructure to effectively reach patients around the world.

We continue to invest in pipeline programs that further our rare disease strategy.

Our lead marketed products, listed below, are approved in countries around the world to improve patient care.

Rare Sleep Disorders

We are the leader in the development and commercialization of oxybate therapy for patients with rare sleep disorders. In 2020, we received FDA approval for Xywav for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy. In August 2021, Xywav became the first and only therapy approved by FDA for the treatment of IH in adults. Xywav has become a standard of care for patients with narcolepsy and IH.

Since there is no cure for narcolepsy and long-term disease management is needed, we believe that Xywav represents an important therapeutic option for patients with this sleep disorder. Our first medicine in sleep was Xyrem, which was approved by FDA in 2002, and contains 1640 mg of sodium per 9 g dose per night. Xyrem is indicated for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy. Xywav contains 92% less sodium than Xyrem and is the only approved oxybate therapy that does not carry a warning and precaution related to high sodium intake.

Our commercial efforts are focused on educating patients and physicians on the strength of clinical evidence that supports the use of Xywav for treating narcolepsy and IH. Xywav has demonstrated efficacy for the treatment of cataplexy and EDS in narcolepsy and multiple daytime symptoms such as sleep inertia in IH. Analysis from the Phase 4 DUET trial showed improvements across multiple polysomnography measures in both narcolepsy and IH, suggesting Xywav improves measures of sleep fragmentation in these conditions. In addition, we are also focused on educating patients and physicians on the long-term health impacts of high sodium intake, and how the use of Xywav helps address a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity. We view the continued adoption of Xywav in narcolepsy as a positive indication that physicians and patients appreciate the benefits of a low-sodium oxybate option.

In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in EDS and cataplexy in narcolepsy through July 2027. Subsequently, FDA granted pediatric exclusivity, which extends the period of orphan exclusivity to January 2028. FDA continues to recognize seven years of ODE for Xywav in narcolepsy. In connection with granting ODE, FDA stated that "Xywav is clinically superior to Xyrem by means of greater safety because Xywav provides a greatly reduced chronic sodium burden compared to Xyrem.” FDA's summary also stated that "the differences in the sodium content of the two products at the recommended doses will be clinically meaningful in reducing cardiovascular morbidity in a substantial proportion of patients for whom the drug is indicated." FDA has also recognized that the difference in sodium content between Xywav and Lumryz, which is a high-sodium oxybate launched in the U.S. market in June 2023, is likely to be clinically meaningful in all patients with narcolepsy and that Xywav is safer than Lumryz in all such patients. Lumryz has the same sodium content as Xyrem.

On August 12, 2021, FDA approved Xywav for the treatment of IH in adults. Xywav remains the first and only FDA-approved therapy to treat IH. We initiated the U.S. commercial launch of Xywav for the treatment of IH in adults in November 2021. In January 2022, we announced that FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in IH through August 2028. IH is a debilitating neurologic sleep disorder characterized by chronic EDS (the inability to stay awake and alert during the day resulting in the irrepressible need to sleep or unplanned lapses into sleep or drowsiness), severe sleep inertia, and prolonged and non-restorative nighttime sleep. An estimated 37,000 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with IH and are actively seeking healthcare.

We have agreements in place for Xywav with all three major PBMs in the U.S. To date, we have entered into agreements with various entities and have achieved benefit coverage for Xywav in both narcolepsy and IH indications for approximately 90% of commercial lives.

Since Xywav's launch in November 2020, HCPs and patients continue to drive demand for safer, low-sodium Xywav, and we have seen strong new patient growth in IH since its launch in November 2021. Exiting the second quarter of 2026, there were approximately 17,125 active patients taking Xywav, including approximately 11,275 patients with narcolepsy and approximately 5,850 patients with IH.

Rare Epilepsies

We acquired Epidiolex (Epidyolex in certain markets outside the U.S.) in May 2021 as part of the GW Acquisition, which added a durable and long-lived asset in epilepsies to our portfolio. Epidiolex was approved in the U.S. in June 2018 for the treat

In June 2021, FDA recognized seven years of ODE for Xywav in EDS and cataplexy in narcolepsy through July 2027 (which was subsequently extended to January 2028). Nevertheless, Lumryz, a fixed-dose, high-sodium oxybate, was approved by FDA on May 1, 2023, for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy and was launched in the U.S. market by Avadel in June 2023. FDA continues to recognize seven years of ODE for Xywav in narcolepsy. In connection with granting ODE, FDA stated that "Xywav is clinically superior to Xyrem by means of greater safety because Xywav provides a greatly reduced chronic sodium burden compared to Xyrem.” FDA's summary also stated that "the differences in the sodium content of the two products at the recommended doses will be clinically meaningful in reducing cardiovascular morbidity in a substantial proportion of patients for whom the drug is indicated."

We have seen strong adoption of Xywav in narcolepsy since its launch in November 2020, and increasing adoption in IH since its launch in November 2021. At the end of 2025, there were approximately 16,175 patients taking Xywav, including approximately 10,950 patients with narcolepsy and approximately 5,225 patients with IH.
