Total net product sales were $138.4 million, compared to $140.6 million in the same period in 2023.

Other Financial Highlights Operating loss was $(3.2) million compared to operating earnings of $5.2 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower royalty revenue.Adjusted operating earnings (non-GAAP) were $22.3 million compared to $30.5 million in the same period in 2023.Net earnings and diluted earnings per share were $0.1 million and $0.00, respectively, compared to $16.9 million and $0.29, respectively, in the same period in 2023.At March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, and current and long-term marketable securities were approximately $309.4 million compared to $271.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance For the full year 2024, the Company reiterates its full year 2024 financial guidance as set forth below (dollars in millions). Amount(as of February 27, 2024)Total revenues (includes approximately $125 - $135 million of Trokendi XR and Oxtellar XR)(4)(5)$580 - $620Combined R&D and SG&A expenses$430 - $460Operating loss(6)$(30) - $(0)Adjusted operating earnings (non-GAAP)(1)$80 - $110 Non-GAAP Financial Information This press release contains financial measures that present financial information which do not comply with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, or superior to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings adjusts for non-cash share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, intangible asset impairment charges and changes to fair value of contingent consideration, and for factors that are unusual, non-recurring or unpredictable, and excludes those costs, expenses, and other specified items presented in the reconciliation tables in this press release. In addition to non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings, we also present total revenues excluding net product sales of Trokendi XR (GAAP) and Oxtellar XR (GAAP), which is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as total revenues (GAAP) less net product sales of Trokendi XR (GAAP) and Oxtellar XR (GAAP). Beginning in the year a product loses exclusivity due to generic entrants we generally do not expect net product sales of such products to constitute a significant part of our revenue in the future. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to management, investors, analysts and others regarding the Company’s revenue and results of operations and assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth and the performance of the business. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore comparability may be limited. These limitations include: non-GAAP financial measures that may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies; these may not reflect all items of income and expense, as applicable, that affect our operations; there may be potential differences among calculation methodologies; these may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies. We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation. The Company’s 2024 financial guidance is also being provided on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. End Notes
