In December 2020, the Company entered into a manufacturing services agreement with Lonza Ltd., Aurinia’s contract manufacturing partner for voclosporin, for the construction of a dedicated manufacturing facility for voclosporin (the “Monoplant”). The construction of the Monoplant began in January 2021 and manufacturing of voclosporin began in late June 2023. The Monoplant is equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to provide cost and production efficiency for the manufacturing of voclosporin, while expanding existing capacity and providing supply security to meet future commercial demand. The Company completed a capital expenditure payment program for the Monoplant totaling $23.7 million, which included: (i) a $11.8 million payment in February 2021, which was treated as an upfront lease payment and recorded under other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets; and (ii) a $11.9 million payment when the facility fulfilled the required operational qualifications, which occurred in late June 2023. The Company has the exclusive right to use the Monoplant through March 31, 2030 by paying a quarterly fixed facility fee of 3.6 million Swiss Francs.

The Monoplant arrangement was determined to be an embedded lease and is accounted for as a finance lease under ASC 842. The lease term is based on the non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset (the “Monoplant Lease”). The Company determined that the Monoplant Lease commencement occurred at the point when the FDA manufacturing validation process began, which occurred on June 26, 2023. At lease inception, the Company recorded a finance right-of-use (“ROU”) lease asset and a corresponding lease liability. As of September 30, 2026, the Monoplant Lease finance ROU lease asset and corresponding lease liability balance were $60.8 million and $55.2 million, respectively.

In March 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 30,531 square feet of office space in Rockville, Maryland (the “Rockville Lease”). The Rockville Lease commenced on March 12, 2020 and expires on August 31, 2031. Pursuant to the Rockville Lease, the Company has an option to either terminate the lease early on August 31, 2028, subject to an early termination fee of $1.4 million, or extend the lease for two 5-year periods at the end of the initial 11-year term. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the early termination option, which will result in a reduction of approximately $2.3 million of future lease payments net of the early termination fee. Nevertheless, the Company is exploring sublease options for potential savings in excess of the early termination option. The Rockville Lease requires the Company to pay certain taxes, insurance and operating costs relating to the leased premises (“Lease Operating Costs”); however, such costs are not material to the Company’s financial position.

For each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, finance lease expense related to the amortization of finance ROU lease assets was $4.4 million. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, finance lease expense related to the amortization of finance ROU lease assets was $13.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest expense on finance lease liabilities was $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, interest expense on finance lease liabilities was $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of finance lease liabilities classified in cash flows from financing activities was $10.9 million and $9.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of finance lease liabilities classified in cash flows from operating activities was $3.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

From time to time, the Company may become subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. There are no material developments to report in respect of the legal proceedings described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, other than as described below.

On August 17, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Teva”) to resolve patent infringement litigation relating to Teva’s filing of an Abbreviated New Drug Application seeking to market its generic 7.9 mg voclosporin oral capsules in the United States.

Under the terms of the settlement, Teva has stipulated that Aurinia’s U.S. Patent Nos. 10,286,036 and 11,622,991 (which expire in December 2037) are enforceable, valid, and would be infringed by commercial sales within the United States of its generic voclosporin product. The settlement further provides that Teva may launch its generic voclosporin product no earlier than December 7, 2036, unless certain defined contingencies occur earlier. Teva’s ability to market its generic voclosporin product in the United States will also be contingent on Teva obtaining approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration.

Aurinia’s related patent infringement actions continue against each of DifGen Pharmaceuticals LLC, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. and its affiliate, Galenicum Health S.L.U., Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Lotus Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and its affiliate, Sandoz Inc., and Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and its affiliate, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
