The Company’s income is subject to the enacted UK statutory corporate tax rate. The Company’s wholly owned United States subsidiaries, including Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“Kiniksa US”), are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals (UK), Ltd. (“Kiniksa UK”), and Kiniksa UK’s wholly owned subsidiaries, including Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals, GmbH (“Kiniksa Switzerland”) and Kiniksa UK’s Swiss branch office, are subject to taxation in their respective countries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries operate under cost plus intercompany arrangements.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $5,713 and $15,802 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The provision for income taxes was driven primarily by income earned in Switzerland, UK and United States as well as uncertain tax positions offset in part by tax benefits related to share-based compensation, and United States federal and state research and development credits (“R&D Credits”).

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $5,045 and $12,071 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The provision for income taxes was driven primarily by income earned in Switzerland, UK and United States as well as uncertain tax positions offset in part by tax benefits from Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction and United States federal and state R&D Credits.

Management regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred income tax assets. Valuation allowances require an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on the full amount of the Kiniksa Switzerland deferred tax assets. There are no material deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions outside the United States, UK and Switzerland.
