| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Additionally, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, its statements of stockholders’ deficit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other subsequent interim period. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 include the accounts of Ironwood, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Securities Corporation, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals GmbH, VectivBio AG, and GlyPharma Therapeutic Inc. (“GlyPharma”). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies. Estimates and assumptions in the condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition; accounts receivable; useful lives of long-lived assets; impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill; valuation procedures for right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities; income taxes, including uncertain tax positions and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; research and development expenses; contingencies; defined benefit pension liabilities and certain investment fund assets; and share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not adopt any additional significant accounting policies. New Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Except as set forth below, the Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires new financial statement disclosures in tabular format, disaggregating information about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense captions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on its disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) (“ASU 2024-04”). The guidance in ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a reporting period if the entity has also adopted ASU 2020-06 for that period. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 on January 1, 2026. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, (“ASU 2025-05”). The guidance in ASU 2025-05 amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to provide a practical expedient to simplify estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The practical expedient, if elected, allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The standard is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient should apply the guidance prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, (“ASU 2025-06”). The guidance in ASU 2025-06 amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC Subtopic 350-40, Internal Use Software. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may elect to apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or through a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, (“ASU 2025-07”). The guidance in ASU 2025-07 expands the scope exceptions within ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to include certain nonexchange-traded contracts with underlyings that are based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract, including research and development funding arrangements. The standard is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the amendments either prospectively for contracts entered into on or after the date of adoption or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for contracts that exist as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-07 may have on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). The guidance in ASU 2025-11 amends ASC Topic 270, Interim Reporting, to provide clarity on the current interim reporting requirements as well as requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity through the addition of the disclosure principle. The standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2025-11 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-11 may have on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”). The guidance in ASU 2025-12 provides incremental improvements to accounting standards for a broad range of topics. The standard is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2025-12 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively on an issue-by-issue basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-12 may have on its consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, are not expected to be applicable to the Company or have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon future adoption.
