Filing receipts

Financing Activities Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily due to $1,511.6 million in net proceeds from borrowings under the Facilities in connection with the Avadel Acquisition and $15.7 million of cash that we received upon exercises of employee stock options, partially offset by $27.7 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other related expenses) used to repurchase our ordinary shares under the Repurchase Program and $23.4 million of employee taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards.

The change in net loss of $88.9 million was primarily due to an increase of $148.5 million in total operating expenses, due to increases in cost of goods manufactured and sold, R&D expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, and due to an increase of $20.9 million of interest expense.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily due to $29.5 million of cash that we received upon exercises of employee stock options, partially offset by $28.8 million of employee taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards.
