3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to, clinical trial results of the Company’s product candidates; the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products; competition from products sold and/or being developed by other companies, including generic competition; the price of, and demand for, the Company’s products, if approved; the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its product candidates; and the Company’s ability to raise capital.

The Company currently has one commercialized product, WAKIX, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development efforts will result in successfully commercialized products in addition to WAKIX. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to

regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its employees and consultants and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and elsewhere in this report. Actual results may differ significantly from estimates, which include rebates payable pursuant to commercial and government contracts, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes.

Operating Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company has determined it operates in a single operating segment, rare neurological diseases and, therefore, has one reportable segment. The Company holds all its tangible assets, conducts its operations, and generates its revenue in the United States.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, all of which are short term in nature and, accordingly, approximate fair value.

It is the Company’s policy to measure non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-financial assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (such as evidence of impairment), which, if material, are disclosed in the accompanying footnotes.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs and models that are supported by little or no market activity.

Money market funds are classified as Level 1 fair value instruments. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are classified as Level 2 and carried at fair value, which we estimate utilizing a third-party pricing service. The pricing service utilizes industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, or other market-related data, are observable. We validate valuations obtained from third-party services by obtaining market values from

other pricing sources. The Company did not classify any assets or liabilities as Level 3 as of June 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of cash and, if applicable, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, including investments in money market funds and debt securities that approximate fair value. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet and the statements of cash flows.

Restricted cash includes amounts required to be held as a security deposit in the form of letters of credit for the Company’s credit card program and the fleet program.

Investments

The Company’s investments consist of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Short-term and long-term investments are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Interest income earned on cash and investment balances, accretion of the discount on investments in debt securities, amortization of premiums and realized gains and losses, if any, are recorded in interest income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses that result from the sale of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.

At each reporting period, the Company reviews any unrealized losses position to determine if the decline in the fair value of the underlying investments is a result of credit losses or other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, any impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses in our consolidated statement of operations.

Concentrations of Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s cash and money market funds are held in three financial institutions. Due to their size, the Company believes these financial institutions represent minimal credit risk. Deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for U.S. institutions. The Company believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

The Company is subject to credit risk from its trade receivables related to product sales. The Company extends credit to specialty pharmaceutical distribution companies within the United States. Customer creditworthiness is monitored, and collateral is not required. Historically, the Company has not experienced credit losses on its accounts receivable. The Company monitors its exposure within accounts receivable and would record a reserve for uncollectible amounts, if necessary. As of June 30, 2026, three customers accounted for 100% of gross accounts receivable; Accredo Health Group, Inc. (“Accredo”), which accounted for 41% of gross accounts receivable; Caremark LLC (“CVS Caremark”), which accounted for 33% of gross accounts receivable; and PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy LLC (“Pantherx”), which accounted for 26% of gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, three customers accounted for 100% of gross accounts receivable;

Accredo, which accounted for 45% of gross accounts receivable, CVS Caremark, which accounted for 36% of gross accounts receivable; and Pantherx, which accounted for 19% of gross accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, three customers accounted for 100% of gross product revenue; CVS Caremark accounted for 38% of gross product revenue; Accredo accounted for 37% of gross product revenue; and Pantherx accounted for 25% of gross product revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, three customers accounted for 100% of gross product revenue; CVS Caremark accounted for 38% of gross product revenue; Accredo accounted for 36% of gross product revenue; and Pantherx accounted for 26% of gross product revenue.

The Company depends on two suppliers of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) for its commercial product, WAKIX, and single API suppliers for each of its potential product candidates.

Share Repurchases

The Company accounts for share repurchases as constructive retirements, whereby it reduces common stock and additional paid-in capital by the amount of the original issuance, with any excess purchase price recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. Under this method, issued and outstanding shares of common stock are reduced by the amount of shares of common stock repurchased, and no treasury stock is recognized on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

Business combinations and asset acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 expands disclosures in the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2025 on a prospective basis. This pronouncement addresses disclosures only and had no impact on its consolidated financial results.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 makes targeted improvements to accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The guidance may be adopted prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2026 on a prospective basis. This pronouncement did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption, as well as a qualitative description of amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning

after December 15, 2027. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
