Business Updates
Key Commercial Products
Xywav (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates) oral solution:
•Xywav net product sales were $368.5 million in 2Q24, an increase of 13% compared to the same period in 2023.
•There were approximately 13,225 active Xywav patients exiting 2Q24 comprised of:
◦Approximately 9,925 narcolepsy patients.
◦Approximately 3,300 idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) patients, with 250 net patient adds.
•As the only low-sodium oxybate and the only therapy approved to treat IH, expect Xywav to remain the oxybate of choice.
•Expert recommendations for optimizing flexible and individualized dosing regimens of low-sodium Xywav in narcolepsy and IH were published in Neurology and Therapy. Nearly 90% of HCPs surveyed felt the ability to adjust Xywav dosing to accommodate routine changes was important or very important and had a positive impact on their ability to provide care.
•Data presented at SLEEP 2024 included two late-breaking posters assessing the burden experienced by patients with IH. One poster demonstrated substantial comorbidity and health-related quality-of-life burdens for IH patients. Another poster reported greater economic burden, including work productivity impairment, compared to people living without IH.
Xyrem®(sodium oxybate) oral solution and high-sodium oxybate authorized generic (AG) royalties:
•Xyrem net product sales were $62.2 million in 2Q24, a decrease of 61% compared to the same period in 2023.
•Royalties from high-sodium oxybate AGs were $54.2 million in 2Q24, an increase of $48.7 million compared to the same period in 2023.
•The Company expects high-sodium oxybate AG royalty revenue to exceed $200 million in 2024.
Epidiolex/Epidyolex (cannabidiol):
•Epidiolex/Epidyolex net product sales were $247.1 million in 2Q24, an increase of 22% compared to the same period in 2023.
•Outside of the U.S., Epidyolex is approved in more than 35 countries with additional launches and reimbursements anticipated through the end of 2024.
•A plain language summary of the BECOME survey results was published in Future Neurology. In addition to reporting an 85% reduction in the frequency of seizures, caregivers also reported improvements in non-seizure benefits such as cognitive, emotional and social functioning.
•Retrospective review of the validated REST-LGS questionnaire was evaluated in a real-world setting and the majority of patients who had not been previously diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) were identified, highlighting the potential of the screening tool to identify patients with LGS who may benefit from further diagnostic evaluation.
Rylaze/Enrylaze (asparaginase erwiniachrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn):
•Rylaze/Enrylaze net product sales were $107.8 million in 2Q24, an increase of 6% compared to the same period in 2023.
2
Zepzelca (lurbinectedin):
•Zepzelca net product sales were $81.0 million in 2Q24, an increase of 15% compared to the same period in 2023.
•Enrollment in the Phase 3 trial evaluating first-line (1L) use of Zepzelca in combination with Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), in partnership with Roche, was completed in 1Q24.
•The Company expects top-line progression-free survival (PFS) data readout by the end of 2024.
Key Pipeline Highlights
Zanidatamab:
•In 2Q24, the U.S. FDA accepted and granted Priority Review of the Biologics License Application for zanidatamab with a target action date of November 29, 2024. If approved, zanidatamab would be the first HER2-targeted treatment specifically approved for biliary tract cancer (BTC) in the U.S. A confirmatory trial in 1L metastatic BTC is ongoing.
•The European Medicines Agency (EMA) validated the marketing authorization application (MAA) for zanidatamab in second-line (2L) BTC.
•Updated zanidatamab data from the HERIZON-BTC-01 trial were presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting 2024, demonstrating a confirmed objective response rate was maintained at 41.3%, median duration of response increased by approximately two months to 14.9 months compared to findings reported in 2023, and a median overall survival of 15.5 months in all patients with HER2+ BTC and 18.1 months in patients with immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ tumors.
•The pivotal HERIZON-GEA-01 trial, evaluating zanidatamab in 1L gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), is ongoing and enrollment remains on track. Based on an updated blinded assessment of progression events, the Company estimates top-line PFS data will be available in 2Q25. The Company continues to track events in the trial relative to the initial protocol assumptions.
•The Company initiated the Phase 3 EmpowHER-BC-303 trial to evaluate zanidatamab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose disease has progressed on previous trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) treatment.
Suvecaltamide (JZP385):
•Announced top-line results from the Phase 2b trial of suvecaltamide in essential tremor did not achieve statistical significance. The improvement in placebo from baseline to week 12 exceeded the Company's expectations and was higher than what was observed for placebo in the prior T-CALM trial of suvecaltamide.
•A Phase 2 trial in patients with Parkinson's disease tremor (PDT) is ongoing, with results expected 1Q25. The Company awaits results from the PDT trial to determine next steps, if any, for the program.
JZP441:
•Pending input from FDA, the Company is planning to initiate a Phase 1b trial of JZP441 in type 1 narcolepsy patients in 2H24.
•Expect this trial will further the Company's understanding of JZP441 and more broadly orexin agonism, providing key learnings that could inform future development efforts.
Share Repurchases of Approximately $161 Million and New $500 Million Authorization
The Company resumed repurchases of its ordinary shares on the open market in the second quarter of 2024 as part of the Company's previously authorized and announced share repurchase program. Under this share repurchase program, the Company was authorized to repurchase its ordinary shares for up to an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 billion, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. As of June 30, 2024, a nominal amount remained outstanding under this authorization, reflecting the purchase of shares worth approximately $161 million during the second quarter of 2024. The remaining amount will be utilized under the newly authorized repurchase program described below.
3
On July 25, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program with no expiration date pursuant to which the Company may repurchase its ordinary shares for up to an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, exclusive of any brokerage commissions. The timing and amount of repurchases under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount and timing of corporate development transactions, repayment of debt, restrictions under the Company's credit agreement, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and the price of the Company's ordinary shares.
Term Loan B Repricing
The Company completed a repricing of the approximately $2.7 billion outstanding balance of its U.S. dollar term loans under its credit facility. The applicable margin above the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate was reduced by 75 basis points (from 300 basis points to 225 basis points) and the credit spread adjustment of approximately 11 basis points has also been removed, resulting in anticipated interest savings of approximately $23 million on an annualized basis. All other terms are substantially unchanged.
Irrevocable Election of Settlement Method for the 2.000% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026
Jazz Investments I Limited (the "Issuer"), a subsidiary of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, announced that it provided written notice to the exchange agent, the trustee and the holders of its 2.000% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 notes") that it has irrevocably elected to fix the settlement method for exchanges of the 2026 notes to combination settlement with a specified cash amount equal to or in excess of $1,000. As a result, an exchanging holder will receive (i) up to $1,000 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 notes exchanged and (ii) cash, ordinary shares, or any combination thereof, at the Issuer's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its exchange obligation in excess of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 notes exchanged.

1.The non-GAAP income tax expense increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to the change in income mix across our jurisdictions and the impact of tax shortfalls from share-based compensation.
Changes in operating expenses in 2Q24 over the prior year period are primarily due to the following:
•Cost of product sales on a GAAP basis increased in 2Q24 compared to the same period in 2023 due to higher acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up expense and changes in product mix. Cost of product sales on a non-GAAP adjusted basis increased in 2Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, due to changes in product mix.
•Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses on a GAAP basis decreased in 2Q24 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to costs related to program terminations incurred in 2Q23. SG&A expenses on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis included increased investment in our priority programs in 2Q24 as compared to the same period in 2023.
•Research and development (R&D) expenses on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis increased in 2Q24 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to higher costs related to zanidatamab, as well as our other key pipeline programs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. In particular, the Company presents non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components, as well as certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures derived therefrom, including non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage and non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components exclude from GAAP reported net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components certain items, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, and in the case of non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income, including non-GAAP adjusted cost of product sales, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses, are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall non-GAAP adjusted net income measure.
The Company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts and that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the Company's results from period to period, to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the Company's business. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are regularly used by investors and analysts to model and track the Company's financial performance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management, the Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles in the reconciliation tables that follow. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables
9
have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Other risks and uncertainties of which the Company is not currently aware may also affect the Company's forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated.

________________________________________________
Explanation of Adjustments and Certain Line Items:
1.Diluted EPS was calculated using the "if-converted" method in relation to the 1.50% exchangeable senior notes due 2024, or the 2024 Notes, and the 2026 Notes, which we refer to collectively as the Exchangeable Senior Notes. In August 2023, we made an irrevocable election to fix the settlement method for exchange of the 2024 Notes to a combination of cash and ordinary shares of the Company with a specified cash amount per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes of $1,000. As a result, the assumed issuance of ordinary shares upon exchange of the 2024 Notes has only been included in the calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Net income per diluted share, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included 6.4 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the 2026 Notes and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to GAAP reported net income of $4.9 million and $9.7 million, respectively, and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $4.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Net income per diluted share, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included 9.0 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the Exchangeable Senior Notes and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to GAAP reported net income of $7.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively, and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $6.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively.
2.Costs related to program terminations.
3.Non-cash interest expense associated with debt issuance costs.
