Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2024
1. Organization
Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, ITI, Inc. ("ITI"), is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development and commercialization of innovative, small molecule drugs that address underserved medical needs primarily in psychiatric and neurological disorders. In December 2019, CAPLYTA® (lumateperone) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults (42 mg/day) and the Company initiated the commercial launch of CAPLYTA in March 2020. In December 2021, CAPLYTA was approved by the FDA for the treatment of bipolar depression in adults (42 mg/day) and the Company initiated the commercial launch of CAPLYTA for the treatment of bipolar depression. Additionally, in April 2022, the FDA approved two additional dosage strengths of CAPLYTA, 10.5 mg and 21 mg capsules, to provide dosage recommendations for patients concomitantly taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, and 21 mg capsules for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B or C). The commercial launch of these special population doses occurred in August 2022. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, "CAPLYTA" refers to lumateperone approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and for the treatment of bipolar depression in adults, and "lumateperone" refers to, where applicable, CAPLYTA as well as lumateperone for the treatment of indications beyond schizophrenia and bipolar depression.
In April 2024, the Company completed a public offering of common stock in which the Company sold 7,876,713 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $73.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $575.0 million. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, the net proceeds to the Company were approximately $543.1 million.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States GAAP set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company currently operates in one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment, which is discovering, developing and commercializing drugs primarily in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to apply the disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not believe that such differences would be material.

Table of Contents
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used by the Company in its presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable, net from customers and cash, cash equivalents and investment securities held at financial institutions. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, 98% of product sales were generated from three major industry wholesalers.
Three individual customers accounted for approximately 37%, 33%, and 28% as well as 36%, 32%, and 29% of product sales for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company continues to believe that such customers are of high credit quality.
Cash equivalents are held with major financial institutions in the United States. Certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.

The Company has classified all of its investment securities as available-for-sale, including those with maturities beyond one year, as current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the highly liquid nature of the investment securities and because these investment securities are considered available for use in current operations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held $164.0 million and $77.8 million, respectively, of available-for-sale investment securities with contractual maturity dates more than one year and less than two years, with the remainder of the available-for-sale investment securities having contractual maturity dates less than one year. Accrued interest receivable from investment securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $3.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Table of Contents
The aggregate related fair value of investments with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2024 was $66.2 million, which consisted of $30.5 million of U.S. government agency securities, $6.0 million of commercial paper, and $29.7 million of corporate notes/bonds. $1.0 million of the aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2024 has been held in a continuous unrealized loss position for over 12 months, with the remaining $65.2 million held in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate related fair value of investments with unrealized losses was $165.2 million. $70.1 million of the aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2023 had been held in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, with the remaining $95.1 million held in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.
The Company reviewed all of the investments which were in a loss position at the respective balance sheet dates, as well as the remainder of the portfolio and determined that market conditions were the primary factor driving these changes. After analyzing the securities in an unrealized loss position, the portion of these losses that relate to changes in credit quality is insignificant. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them prior to the end of their contractual terms. Furthermore, the Company does not believe that these securities expose the Company to undue market risk or counterparty credit risk.
4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the fair value method under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The ASC Topic 820 hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on the lowest level input used that is significant to a particular fair value measurement:
•Level 1-Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2-Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3-Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by a reporting entity-e.g., determining an appropriate adjustment to a discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security.
The Company had no assets or liabilities that were measured using prices with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 assets and liabilities) as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying value of cash held in money market funds of $225.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and $10.7 million as of December 31, 2023 is included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and approximates market value based on quoted market prices or Level 1 inputs. The carrying value of cash held in commercial paper of $6.4 million, corporate bonds of $4.8 million, and U.S. government agency securities of $12.1 million as of September 30, 2024 is included in cash and cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash held in U.S. government agency securities of $2.5 million and certificates of deposit of $60.0 million as of December 31, 2023 is included in cash and cash equivalents.

7. Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
In 2014, the Company entered into a long-term lease with a related party, which, as amended, provided for a lease of useable laboratory and office space located in New York, New York. A member of the Company's board of directors is the Executive Chairman of the parent company to the landlord under this lease. Concurrent with this lease, the Company entered into a license agreement to occupy certain vivarium-related space in the same facility for the same term and rent escalation provisions as the lease. This license has the primary characteristics of a lease and is characterized as a lease in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases,for accounting purposes. In September 2018, the Company further amended the lease to obtain an additional office space beginning October 1, 2018 and to extend the term of the lease for previously acquired space. The lease, as amended, has a term of 14.3 years ending in May 2029. In May 2024, the Company entered into a long-term lease of office space in Bedminster, New Jersey. The lease has a term of 5.7 years ending in February 2030.
The Company has also entered into agreements (the "Vehicle Leases") with providers (the "Lessors") to acquire motor vehicles for certain employees. The Vehicle Leases provide for individual vehicle leases, which at each lease commencement was determined to qualify for operating lease treatment. The contractual period of each lease is 12 months, followed by month-to-month renewal periods. The Company estimates the lease term for each vehicle to be 12 months. Leases which the Company determined to have a lease term of 12 months or less will be treated as short-term in accordance with the accounting policy election and are not recognized on the balance sheet. Each lease permits either party to terminate the lease at any time via written notice to the other party. The Company neither acquires ownership of, nor has the option to purchase the vehicles at any time. The Company is required to maintain an irrevocable $1.75 million letter of credit that the related Lessor may draw upon in the event the Company defaults on the related Vehicle Leases, which has been recorded as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

You should read the following in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2024. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking information that involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2024, as updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC.
Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development and commercialization of innovative, small molecule drugs that address underserved medical needs primarily in psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Commercial Product
In December 2019, CAPLYTA®(lumateperone) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults (42 mg/day) and we initiated the commercial launch of CAPLYTA in March 2020. In December 2021, CAPLYTA was approved by the FDA for the treatment of bipolar depression in adults (42 mg/day). We initiated the commercial launch of CAPLYTA for the treatment of bipolar depression in December 2021. Additionally, in April 2022, the FDA approved two additional dosage strengths of CAPLYTA, 10.5 mg and 21 mg capsules, to provide dosage recommendations for patients concomitantly taking strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, and 21 mg capsules for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B or C). We initiated the commercial launch of these special population doses in August 2022. As used in this report, "CAPLYTA" refers to lumateperone approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and for the treatment of bipolar depression in adults, and "lumateperone" refers to, where applicable, CAPLYTA as well as lumateperone for the treatment of indications beyond schizophrenia and bipolar depression.
Clinical and Nonclinical Development Programs
Lumateperone Program
Lumateperone is in Phase 3 clinical development as a novel treatment for major depressive disorder, or MDD. In April 2024 and June 2024, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 3 clinical trials, Study 501 and Study 502, respectively, evaluating lumateperone 42 mg as an adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of MDD. In both studies, lumateperone 42 mg given once daily as adjunctive therapy to antidepressants met the primary endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score compared to placebo at Week 6. In Study 501, in the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) study population, the least squares (LS) mean reduction from baseline for lumateperone 42 mg was 14.7 points, versus 9.8 points for placebo (LS mean difference = -4.9 points; p<0.0001; ES= 0.61). In Study 502, in the mITT study population, the LS mean reduction from baseline for lumateperone 42 mg was 14.7 points, versus 10.2 points for placebo (LS mean difference= -4.5 points; p<0.0001; ES= 0.56). Lumateperone 42 mg also met the key secondary endpoint in both studies by demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the Clinical Global Impression Scale for Severity of Illness (CGI-S) score compared to placebo at Week 6 (Study 501: p<0.0001; ES= 0.67; Study 502: p<0.0001; ES= 0.51). In Study 501, statistically significant efficacy was seen at the earliest time point tested (Week 1) and maintained throughout the study in both the primary and the key secondary endpoints. In Study 502, numerical improvement versus placebo on the MADRS total score was seen as early as Week 1 and statistically significant efficacy was seen at Week 2 and maintained throughout the study, and statistically significant separation on the CGI-S versus placebo was observed starting at Week 3 and maintained throughout the study. In both Studies 501 and 502, lumateperone 42 mg robustly improved depressive symptoms as reported by patients as measured by the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self Report (QIDS-SR-16) (p<0.0001). Lumateperone was generally safe and well-tolerated in these studies. In the pooled safety data for Studies 501 and 502, the most commonly reported adverse events that were observed at a rate greater than or equal to 5% and greater than twice the rate of placebo in the total population were dizziness (16.6% v. 5.0%), dry mouth (12.6% v. 3.3%), somnolence (12.4% v. 2.3%), nausea (8.5% v. 4.0%) and fatigue (7.7% v. 1.7%).

Adverse events were mostly mild to moderate and resolved within a short period of time. These adverse events were similar to those seen in prior studies of lumateperone as a treatment for bipolar depression and schizophrenia.
We recently completed clinical conduct of our open label roll-over study, Study 503, to assess long-term safety in patients with MDD. We expect to submit a supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, with the FDA for approval of lumateperone as an adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of MDD in the fourth quarter of 2024.
We are currently conducting an additional global Phase 3 clinical trial, Study 505, evaluating lumateperone 42 mg as an adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of MDD. Following our positive results in Studies 501 and 502, we have amended the entry criteria of Study 505 to obtain additional clinical experience with lumateperone in patients who have had an inadequate response to a greater number of antidepressants. The objective of this study is to further expand the large body of evidence supporting lumateperone antidepressant efficacy across different patient populations.
In the first quarter of 2020, as part of our lumateperone bipolar depression clinical program, we initiated our third monotherapy Phase 3 study, Study 403, evaluating lumateperone as monotherapy in the treatment of major depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or bipolar II disorder. Following the positive results in our adjunctive study that was part of our bipolar depression clinical program, Study 402, we amended Study 403 to evaluate major depressive episodes with mixed features in bipolar disorder in patients with bipolar I or bipolar II disorder and mixed features in patients with MDD. In March 2023, we announced positive topline results from Study 403 as lumateperone 42 mg given once daily met the primary endpoint in the study by demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the MADRS total score compared to placebo at Week 6 in the combined patient population of MDD with mixed features and bipolar depression with mixed features (5.7 point reduction vs. placebo; p<0.0001; Cohen's d effect size (ES) of 0.64). Robust results were also seen in the individual patient population of MDD with mixed features (5.9 point reduction vs. placebo; p<0.0001; ES= 0.67), and in the individual patient population of bipolar depression with mixed features (5.7 point reduction vs. placebo; p<0.0001; ES= 0.64). Additionally, lumateperone 42 mg met the key secondary endpoint in the study by demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the clinician's assessment of improvement in the overall severity on the CGI-S score compared to placebo at Week 6 in the combined patient population of MDD with mixed features and bipolar depression with mixed features (p<0.0001; ES= 0.59) and in the individual patient population of MDD with mixed features (p=0.0003; ES= 0.57), as well as the individual patient population of bipolar depression with mixed features (p<0.0001; ES=0.61).
We also have an ongoing study, Study 304, evaluating lumateperone for the prevention of relapse in patients with schizophrenia. The study is being conducted in five phases consisting of a screening phase; a 6-week, open-label run-in phase during which all patients will receive 42 mg of lumateperone per day; a 12-week, open-label stabilization phase during which all patients will receive 42 mg of lumateperone per day; a double-blind treatment phase, 26 weeks in duration, during which patients receive either 42 mg of lumateperone per day or placebo (1:1 ratio); and a 2-week safety follow-up phase. This study is being conducted in accordance with our post approval marketing commitment to the FDA in connection with the approval of CAPLYTA for the treatment of schizophrenia as is typical for antipsychotics. We expect to complete Study 304 and report topline results in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Within the lumateperone portfolio, we have conducted or are in the process of conducting studies with pediatric patients in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder. Our lumateperone pediatric program includes a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in bipolar depression and two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder. Additionally, the program includes an open-label safety study in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Patient enrollment is ongoing in the open-label safety study as well as in the double-blind, placebo-controlled study in bipolar depression. We expect to begin enrollment in the two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder in the fourth quarter of 2024. Also, in the second quarter of 2024, we initiated two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 studies evaluating lumateperone in adults in the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (bipolar mania). In addition, we are developing a long-acting injectable, or LAI, formulation to provide more treatment options to patients suffering from mental illness. We have conducted a Phase 1 single ascending dose study with an LAI formulation. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a lumateperone LAI in patients with stable symptoms of schizophrenia and was generally safe and well-tolerated. We are evaluating several additional formulations of a lumateperone LAI with treatment durations of one month and longer, and have commenced clinical conduct in a Phase 1 study with additional formulations of our LAI. Given the encouraging efficacy and favorable safety profile to date with oral lumateperone, we believe that an LAI option, in particular, may lend itself to being an important formulation choice for certain patients.

ITI-1284 Program
We are developing ITI-1284-ODT-SL for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, psychosis in Alzheimer's disease and agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease. ITI-1284-ODT-SL is a deuterated form of lumateperone, a new molecular entity formulated as an oral disintegrating tablet for sublingual administration. ITI-1284-ODT-SL is formulated as an oral solid dosage form that dissolves almost instantly when placed under the tongue, allowing for ease of use in the elderly and may be particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets. Phase 1 single and multiple ascending dose studies in healthy volunteers and healthy elderly volunteers (> than 65 years of age) evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ITI-1284-ODT-SL. In these studies, there were no reported serious adverse events in either age group. In the elderly cohort, reported adverse events were infrequent with the most common adverse event being transient dry mouth (mild). Based on these results, we have initiated Phase 2 programs evaluating ITI-1284-ODT-SL for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, psychosis in Alzheimer's disease and agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The FDA has informed us that they do not believe the deuterated and undeuterated forms of lumateperone are identical. As a result, the non-clinical data from lumateperone may not be broadly applied to ITI-1284-ODT-SL, and we conducted additional toxicology studies. These studies have been completed and patient enrollment is ongoing in our Phase 2 study evaluating ITI-1284-ODT-SL as adjunctive therapy to anti-anxiety medications in patients with generalized anxiety disorder. We expect to initiate patient enrollment in our Phase 2 study evaluating ITI-1284-ODT-SL as monotherapy in patients with generalized anxiety disorder in the fourth quarter of 2024. We have also initiated patient enrollment in a Phase 2 clinical study evaluating ITI-1284-ODT-SL in patients with psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease and in a Phase 2 clinical study evaluating ITI-1284-ODT-SL in patients with agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease. We are continuing with Phase 1 studies with ITI-1284-ODT-SL, including drug-drug interaction studies.
PDE1 Program
We have another major program that has yielded a portfolio of compounds that selectively inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 1, or PDE1. PDE1 enzymes are highly active in multiple disease states, and our PDE1 inhibitors are designed to reestablish normal function in these disease states. Abnormal PDE1 activity is associated with cellular proliferation and activation of inflammatory cells. Our PDE1 inhibitors ameliorate both of these effects in animal models. We intend to pursue the development of our phosphodiesterase, or PDE, program, for the treatment of aberrant immune system activation in several central nervous system, or CNS, and non-CNS conditions with a focus on diseases where excessive PDE1 activity has been demonstrated and increased inflammation is an important contributor to disease pathogenesis. Our potential disease targets include immune system regulation, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers and other non-CNS disorders. Lenrispodun (ITI-214) is our lead compound in this program. Following the favorable safety and tolerability results in our Phase 1 program, we initiated our development program for lenrispodun for Parkinson's disease and conducted a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of lenrispodun in patients with Parkinson's disease to evaluate safety and tolerability in this patient population, as well as motor and non-motor exploratory endpoints. In this study, lenrispodun was generally well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile and clinical signs consistent with improvements in motor symptoms and dyskinesias. Our Phase 2 clinical trial of lenrispodun evaluating improvements in motor symptoms, changes in cognition, and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with Parkinson's disease is ongoing. We expect to complete this study by the end of 2025. We also have an active Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to evaluate our newest candidate within the PDE1 inhibitor program, ITI-1020, as a novel cancer immunotherapy. Our Phase 1 program with ITI-1020 in healthy volunteers is ongoing.
ITI-333 Program
We also have a development program with our ITI-333 compound as a potential treatment for substance use disorders, pain and psychiatric comorbidities including depression and anxiety. There is a pressing need to develop new drugs to treat opioid addiction and safe, effective, non-addictive treatments to manage pain. ITI-333 is a novel compound that uniquely combines activity as an antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and a partial agonist at µ-opioid receptors. These combined actions support the potential utility of ITI-333 in the treatment of opioid use disorder and associated comorbidities (e.g., depression, anxiety, sleep disorders) without opioid-like safety and tolerability concerns. We have conducted a Phase 1 single ascending dose study evaluating the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ITI-333 in healthy volunteers. In this study, ITI-333 achieved plasma exposures at or above those required for efficacy and was generally safe and well-tolerated. We have an ongoing neuroimaging study to investigate brain occupancy for receptors that play a role in substance use disorder and also have applicability for pain. The results of this study will support the dose selection for future studies. In addition, we completed a multiple ascending dose study with ITI-333 in healthy volunteers. In this study, ITI-333 was generally safe and well-tolerated.

ITI-1500 Program
We also have the ITI-1500 program focused on the development of novel non-hallucinogenic psychedelics, which we refer to as neuroplastogens. Compounds in this series interact with serotonergic (5-HT2a) receptors in a unique way, potentially allowing the development of this new drug class in mood, anxiety and other neuropsychiatric disorders without the liabilities of known psychedelics including the hallucinogenic potential and risk for cardiac valvular pathologies. Our lead compound in this program, ITI-1549, is currently being evaluated in IND enabling studies and is expected to enter human testing in 2025.
Results of Operations
The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of our financial statements.
Revenues
Revenues are comprised primarily of net product sales of our commercial product, CAPLYTA, in the United States. Our net product sales of CAPLYTA represent sales primarily to wholesalers and specialty distributors and reflect certain adjustments deducted from gross product sales to arrive at product sales, net.
Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised of (i) costs of product sales; (ii) selling expenses; (iii) general and administrative expenses; and (iv) research and development expenses.
Costs of product sales are comprised of:
•royalty payments on product sales;
•direct costs of formulating, manufacturing and packaging drug product; and
•overhead costs consisting of labor, share-based compensation, shipping, external inventory manufacturing and other miscellaneous operating costs.
Selling expenses are incurred in three major categories:
•salaries, share-based compensation, incentives and related benefit costs of a dedicated sales force and commercial organization;
•marketing and promotion expenses; and
•sales operation costs.
General and administrative expenses are incurred in three major categories:
•salaries, share-based compensation and related benefit costs;
•patent, legal and professional costs; and
•office, facilities and infrastructure overhead.
Research and development costs are comprised of:
•fees paid to external parties that provide us with contract services, such as pre-clinical testing, manufacturing and related testing, clinical trial activities and license milestone payments; and
•internal recurring costs, such as costs relating to labor and fringe benefits, share-based compensation, materials, supplies, facilities and maintenance.

Table of Contents
The process of researching, developing and commercializing drugs for human use is lengthy, unpredictable and subject to many risks. The costs associated with the commercialization of CAPLYTA and development of our product candidates are substantial, and we have not yet generated sufficient revenue to offset our operating costs. Costs for the clinical development of lumateperone-related projects, including for the treatment of MDD, consume and, together with our required post-marketing studies and other anticipated clinical development programs, will continue to consume a large portion of our current, as well as projected, resources. We intend to pursue other disease indications that lumateperone may address, but there are significant costs associated with pursuing FDA approval for those indications, which would include the cost of additional clinical trials.
A portion of product sold through September 30, 2024 consisted of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and drug product that was previously charged to research and development expenses prior to FDA approval of CAPLYTA. Because the Company's policy does not allow for the capitalization of the cost of drug product that was incurred prior to FDA approval, the cost of drug product sold is lower than it would have been and has a positive impact on our cost of product sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. We expect to continue to have this favorable impact on cost of product sales and related product gross margins until the cost of our sales of CAPLYTA include drug product that is manufactured entirely after the FDA approval. We expect that this will be the case for the remainder of the year and, as a result, our cost of product sales is less than we anticipate it will be in future periods. In addition, as our net product sales increase and we exceed certain sales thresholds, the applicable royalty rate for payments we make under our License Agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) increases, which results in an increase to cost of product sales.
We expect that our selling, general and administrative costs will increase from prior periods primarily due to costs associated with our recently completed and future sales force expansions, promotional activities to support the commercial sales of CAPLYTA, as well as costs associated with expanding our infrastructure and anticipated increases in professional fees. During the third quarter of 2024, we expanded our sales force by approximately 150 representatives who will focus on commercial sales of CAPLYTA to primary care physicians. We also expect to further expand our sales force in 2025. We also expect that research and development expenses will increase moderately as we are expanding our clinical trial programs and pre-clinical development activities. We granted significant share-based awards in 2024 and 2023. We expect to continue to grant share-based awards in the future. We expect that our growing employee base will increase our share-based compensation expense in future periods. In addition, inflation has and may continue to affect us by increasing clinical trial, selling, labor and other operational costs.

Selling costs were $98.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to selling costs of $80.9 million in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 22%. This increase is primarily due to increases of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation of $11.0 million mainly driven by the primary care sales force expansion that occurred this quarter, professional fees and other costs of $3.4 million and marketing and advertising costs of $3.4 million. Compensation and related benefit costs for our commercial functions for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 constituted 35% and 35%, respectively, of our selling costs.
General and administrative expenses were $33.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $24.3 million in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 37%. This increase is due to increases in IT related services of $3.8 million, salaries of $3.0 million and professional fees and other costs of $2.3 million. Compensation and related benefit costs for our general and administrative functions for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 constituted 24% and 18%, respectively, of our general and administrative costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 were $366.8 million as compared to $305.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, which represents an increase of 20%.
Selling costs were $279.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to selling costs of $233.5 million in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 20%. This increase is primarily due to increases of salaries, benefits and share-based compensation of $23.3 million mainly driven by the primary care sales force expansion that occurred this quarter, marketing and advertising costs of $11.2 million, commercialization costs of $9.2 million and professional fees and other costs of $2.1 million. Compensation and related benefit costs for our commercial functions for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 constituted 33% and 35%, respectively, of our selling costs.
General and administrative expenses were $87.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $71.6 million in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 22%. This increase is due to increases in IT related services of $9.0 million, salaries of $4.7 million and professional fees and other costs of $2.2 million. Compensation and related benefit costs for our general and administrative functions for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 constituted 24% and 22%, respectively, of our general and administrative costs.

Research and development expenses were $66.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $41.6 million in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 61%. This increase is due primarily to increases of $17.4 million for lumateperone costs, $6.8 million for non-lumateperone costs and $1.0 million for overhead and other costs. External service costs increased by $24.0 million for the period due to the increased number of clinical trials for lumateperone and non-lumateperone projects. Internal and other costs increased by $1.2 million for the period due primarily to labor related costs and share-based compensation.
Research and development expenses were $165.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $129.4 million in the same period in 2023, which represents an increase of 28%. This increase is due primarily to increases of $21.8 million for lumateperone costs, $10.2 million for non-lumateperone costs and $4.4 million for overhead and other costs. External service costs increased by $31.4 million for the period due to the increased number of clinical trials for lumateperone and non-lumateperone projects. Internal and other costs increased by $5.0 million for the period due primarily to labor related costs and share-based compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
To date, we have funded our operations through proceeds from public and private offerings of our common stock and other securities, as well as collections from net product revenue related to the sales of CAPLYTA. As of September 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, and restricted cash totaled approximately $1.0 billion, which we believe, along with cash generated from ongoing operations, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the foreseeable future from the filing date of this report. During that time, we expect to have increased net product revenue as well as increases in our operating expenses.
We balance the level of cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand with our projected needs. We then assess the availability of funding on favorable terms with minimal risk. Subject to market conditions, interest rates, results of our clinical trials, progress of our commercialization efforts and other factors, we may pursue opportunities to obtain additional financing in the future, which could include public or private sales of our equity securities, sales of debt securities, incurrence of debt from commercial lenders, strategic collaborations, and licensing a portion or all of our product candidates and technology. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Table of Contents
Our cash, cash equivalents, and investments are maintained in checking accounts, money market accounts, money market funds, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes and corporate bonds at major financial institutions. Our aim is to minimize the potential effects of concentration and degrees of risk. Although we maintain cash balances and investments with financial institutions in excess of insured limits, we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such balances because these financial institutions are highly-rated institutions and custodians of our investments.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $60.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $122.1 million of net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in cash used in operations primarily resulted from an increase in our net product sales.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $185.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $58.1 million of cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in purchases of investment securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $561.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $14.8 million of cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase in net cash provided by financing activities was attributable primarily to the completion of an underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock in April 2024 resulting in net proceeds of approximately $543.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
Operational and Capital Funding Requirements
Our cash requirements in the short and long term consist of operational, manufacturing, and capital expenditures, a portion of which contain contractual or other obligations. Our material long-term contractual commitments are comprised of licensing and royalty commitments with BMS, operating leases for our office and laboratory spaces, and purchase obligations supporting our commercial and R&D operations. Refer to our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources in "Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Note 7, Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities, and Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the discussion of our contractual commitments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies are those policies which require the most significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates, judgments, and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of our critical accounting policies is presented in Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Table of Contents
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Judgments must also be made about the disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates and under different assumptions or conditions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to apply the disclosure requirements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations
The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains such "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about: our estimates regarding expenses, revenues, uses of cash, cash equivalents and investment securities, capital requirements and the need for additional financing; our expectations regarding our commercialization of CAPLYTA; the supply and availability of and demand for our product; our recently completed and future sales force expansions; the initiation, cost, timing, progress and results of our development activities, non-clinical studies and clinical trials; the timing of and our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval, or submit an application for regulatory approval, of lumateperone and our other existing product candidates, any product candidates that we may develop, and any related restrictions, limitations, and/or warnings in the label of any approved product candidates; our plans to research, develop and commercialize lumateperone and our other current and future product candidates; the election by any collaborator to pursue research, development and commercialization activities; our ability to obtain future reimbursement and/or milestone payments from our collaborators; our ability to attract collaborators with development, regulatory and commercialization expertise; our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates, including through our litigation against the ANDA Filers; our ability to successfully commercialize lumateperone and our other product candidates; the performance of our third-party suppliers and manufacturers and our ability to obtain alternative sources of raw materials; our ability to obtain additional financing; our use of the proceeds from our securities offerings; our exposure to investment risk, interest rate risk, inflation risk, capital market risk, foreign currency fluctuations and geopolitical instability; and our ability to attract and retain key scientific, management, or sales and marketing personnel.

All forward-looking statements are management's present expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: there are no guarantees that CAPLYTA will be commercially successful; we may encounter issues, delays or other challenges in commercializing CAPLYTA; whether CAPLYTA receives adequate reimbursement from third-party payers; the degree to which CAPLYTA receives acceptance from patients and physicians for its approved indications; challenges associated with execution of our sales activities, which in each case could limit the potential of our product; results achieved in CAPLYTA in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar depression following commercial launch of the product may be different than observed in clinical trials, and may vary among patients; challenges associated with supply and manufacturing activities, which in each case could limit our sales and the availability of our product; risks associated with our current and planned clinical trials; we may encounter unexpected safety or tolerability issues with CAPLYTA following commercial launch for the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar depression or in ongoing or future trials and other development activities; there is no guarantee that a generic equivalent of CAPLYTA will not be approved and enter the market before the expiration of our patents; there is no guarantee that our planned sNDA for the treatment of MDD will be submitted or approved, if at all, on the timeline that we expect; our other product candidates may not be successful or may take longer and be more costly than anticipated; product candidates that appeared promising in earlier research and clinical trials may not demonstrate safety and/or efficacy in larger-scale or later clinical trials or in clinical trials for other indications; our proposals with respect to the regulatory path for our product candidates may not be acceptable to the FDA; our reliance on collaborative partners and other third parties for development, commercialization, manufacturing or supply of our product and product candidates; risks related to changes in interest rates, high rates of inflation, global supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical instability on our business; disruptions resulting from the impact of public health pandemics or epidemics (including, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic), the conflicts in the Ukraine, Russia or the Middle East, man-made or natural disasters, global economic uncertainty, market disruptions, cybersecurity incidents or other causes; and the other risk factors detailed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated under the heading "Risk Factors" from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC.
In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in any document incorporated by reference might not occur. Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or to any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Sensitivity.As of September 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents, investment securities and restricted cash of approximately $1.0 billion, consisting of cash deposited in highly rated financial institutions in the United States and in short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, money market funds, as well as high-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations and we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. We believe that we do not have material exposure to high-risk investments such as mortgage-backed securities, auction rate securities or other special investment vehicles within our money-market fund investments. We believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in fair value as a result of changes in interest rates as we intend and have the ability to hold our investments to maturity. During the third quarter of 2024, there was an unrealized gain due to a decline in interest rates that resulted in a net unrealized gain position of $1.6 million as of September 30, 2024.
Inflation Risk. Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, clinical trial costs, and other outsourced activities. To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our business. Should global inflation increase in the future, we expect increases in clinical trial, selling, labor, and other operating costs. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases of our product. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
24
Table of Contents
Capital Market Risk.Although we receive product revenues from commercial sales of CAPLYTA, we may in the future raise funds through other sources. One possible source of funding is through further securities offerings. Our ability to raise funds in this manner depends upon capital market forces affecting our stock price among other things.
Foreign Currency Risk. Due to our operations outside of the United States, we are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Historically, our foreign currency exposure has been limited so we have not hedged for this exposure. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur regularly and, in some instances, could materially adversely affect our business, our results of operations or our cash flows. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on our historical financial position, our business, our financial condition, our results of operations or our cash flows.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously disclosed, in February 2024, we received notices from Alkem Laboratories Ltd., Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc. and Aurobindo Pharma Ltd., Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc. (on behalf of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd.), MSN Laboratories Private Ltd., Sandoz Inc., Hetero USA, Inc. (the U.S. Regulatory Agent for Hetero Labs Limited Unit - V, a division of Hetero Labs Limited) and Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA), Inc., which we refer to as ANDA Filers, that each company had filed an abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, with the FDA seeking approval of generic version of CAPLYTA. The ANDAs each contained Paragraph IV Patent Certifications alleging that certain of our patents covering CAPLYTA are invalid and/or will not be infringed by each ANDA Filer's manufacture, use or sale of the medicine for which the ANDA was submitted.
Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, or the FDCA, we had 45 days from receipt of the notice letters to commence patent infringement lawsuits against these generic drug manufacturers in a federal district court to trigger a stay precluding the FDA's approval of any ANDA from being effective any earlier than 7.5 years from the date of approval of the CAPLYTA new drug application or entry of judgment holding the patents invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, whichever occurs first. After conducting the necessary due diligence, and within the 45 day period required under the FDCA, we filed lawsuits on March 27, 2024 and March 28, 2024 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the seven generic drug manufacturers who notified us of their ANDA filings. Our lawsuits seek a declaratory judgment that our patents have been infringed by the respective ANDA Filer, an order that any FDA approval of the ANDA Filer's product be not earlier than the date of the expiration of our applicable patents, injunctions against the commercialization of the ANDA Filer's product prior to such expiration date, and an award for attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. In the ANDA Filers' respective answers to our complaints filed in May, June and July 2024, five of the ANDA Filers asserted counterclaims against us seeking a declaratory judgment of noninfringement and invalidity of our patents.
On July 16, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey issued an order consolidating the cases described above for all pretrial purposes. A scheduling conference for the consolidated cases was held on July 29, 2024 and on August 8, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey issued a scheduling order that set the date for the bench trial to begin on October 27, 2026.
In July and August 2024, we received an additional notice from each of (i) Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc. and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., and (ii) Alkem Laboratories Ltd., respectively, each of which is an ANDA Filer, that such ANDA Filer had filed an additional Paragraph IV Patent Certification alleging that an additional patent covering CAPLYTA is invalid and/or will not be infringed by such ANDA Filer's manufacture, use or sale of the medicine for which the ANDA was submitted. On August 29, 2024, we filed additional lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the seven ANDA Filers with respect to two additional patents covering CAPLYTA (including the patent referenced in the July and August ANDA Filer notices) seeking a declaratory judgment that our patents have been infringed by the respective ANDA Filer, an order that any FDA approval of the ANDA Filer's product be not earlier than the date of expiration of our applicable patents, injunctions against the commercialization of the ANDA Filer's product prior to such expiration date, and an award for attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. In the ANDA Filers' respective answers to these complaints filed up to the date of this report, two of the ANDA Filers asserted counterclaims against us seeking a declaratory judgment of noninfringement and invalidity of our patents. On October 15, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey issued an order consolidating these additional cases with the consolidated case described above for all pretrial purposes.
While we intend to vigorously defend and enforce our intellectual property rights protecting CAPLYTA, we can offer no assurance as to when the lawsuits will be decided, whether the lawsuits will be successful, or that a generic equivalent of CAPLYTA will not be approved and enter the market before the expiration of our patents.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2024.
