(Nasdaq: ACAD), today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. “Acadia closed 2025 with another strong quarter, capping a milestone year in which we surpassed $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time,” said Catherine Owen Adams, Chief Executive Officer. “NUPLAZID had another strong quarter driven by underlying volume growth, reflecting continued momentum in the business. In the fourth quarter we received our first Inflation Reduction Act invoices for NUPLAZID inflation cap rebates, which resulted in NUPLAZID delivering GAAP net product sales of $174 million and non-GAAP adjusted net product sales of $189 million. DAYBUE generated $110 million in fourth‑quarter net product sales, driven by expanding reach in the community and continued contribution from named patient supply programs outside the U.S. We are seeing growing interest in our new DAYBUE STIX powder formulation as we prepare for a full launch in early Q2 of this year. We continue to advance a deep and differentiated R&D pipeline, anchored by remlifanserin, with the Phase 2 RADIANT study in Alzheimer’s disease psychosis serving as an important upcoming potential catalyst with top‑line results expected between August and October 2026.” Company Updates Completion of a strategic expansion of NUPLAZID customer‑facing teams, with a 30% increase in representatives, implemented in early 2026 and now fully deployed in the field.DAYBUE STIX (trofinetide) for oral solution has shipped to first patient with additional product supply in the channel. The Company expects to be ready for the planned broader launch in early second quarter 2026.Phase 2 top-line results readout from the remlifanserin Alzheimer’s disease psychosis study remains on track for August to October 2026 timeframe, representing a potential catalyst for the Company this year. Financial Results Revenues GAAP total revenues were $284 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $1.07 billion for the full year 2025. GAAP net product sales of NUPLAZID were $174 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $680 million for the full year 2025. GAAP net product sales of DAYBUE were $110 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $391 million for the full year 2025. Acadia is presenting non‑GAAP revenue to adjust for a non‑recurring accounting impact related to Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) inflation cap rebates for NUPLAZID. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company received its first invoices under the IRA, which were higher than expected. As a result, Acadia recorded a $20 million change in estimate to its NUPLAZID IRA rebate accruals related to sales from fiscal years 2022 through 2025. Under GAAP, the full adjustment was recorded in 2025, increasing gross‑to‑net and reducing reported NUPLAZID net sales for the year. Importantly, this accounting adjustment does not reflect the underlying strong commercial performance of NUPLAZID. NUPLAZID volume grew 9% for the full year 2025 and 13% in the fourth quarter. The non‑GAAP adjusted net sales methodology reallocates the $20 million change in estimate to the fiscal years in which the related NUPLAZID sales volume was earned, including the portion attributable to 2025. Accordingly, NUPLAZID non‑GAAP adjusted net sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 exclude the portion of the adjustment related to periods prior to the quarter, while including IRA rebates attributable to fourth quarter net sales. Management believes these non‑GAAP measures provide a more meaningful comparison of underlying commercial performance across periods. A reconciliation of NUPLAZID non‑GAAP adjusted net sales and non‑GAAP adjusted total revenues is provided in Table 1 below. Table 1. ACADIA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.

Non-GAAP adjusted net sales of NUPLAZID were $189 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 17% as compared to $161 million in non-GAAP adjusted net product sales for the fourth quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net product sales of NUPLAZID were $692 million for the full year 2025, an increase of 15% as compared to non-GAAP adjusted net product sales of $603 million for the full year 2024. Net product sales of DAYBUE were $110 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 13% as compared to $97 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in net product sales of DAYBUE in the fourth quarter was mainly due to growth in DAYBUE unit sales. Net product sales of DAYBUE were $391 million for the full year 2025, an increase of 12% as compared to $348 million for the full year 2024. Research and Development Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $85 million, compared to $101 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses during the fourth quarter was primarily driven by the $28 million upfront business development payment for ACP-711 that was made in the fourth quarter of 2024 to Saniona. For the full years of 2025 and 2024, research and development expenses were $329 million and $303 million, respectively. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $156 million, compared to $130 million for the same period of 2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the fourth quarter was primarily driven by increased marketing investments to support NUPLAZID and DAYBUE field expansion and marketing costs. For the full years of 2025 and 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses were $549 million and $488 million, respectively. Net Income For the fourth quarter of 2025, Acadia reported net income of $274 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $144 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. Net income for the quarter included a non-cash income tax benefit of $250 million related to the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, reflecting sustained commercial performance and expectations for future taxable income. For the full year 2025, Acadia reported a net income of $391 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $226 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. Cash and Investments At December 31, 2025, Acadia’s cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities totaled $820 million, compared to $756 million at December 31, 2024.

About NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin) Pimavanserin is a selective serotonin inverse agonist and antagonist preferentially targeting 5-HT2A receptors. These receptors are thought to play an important role in neuropsychiatric disorders. In vitro, pimavanserin demonstrated no appreciable binding affinity for dopamine (including D2), histamine, muscarinic, or adrenergic receptors. Pimavanserin was approved for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2016 under the trade name NUPLAZID. About DAYBUE ® (trofinetide) Trofinetide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring molecule known as the tripeptide glycine-proline-glutamate (GPE). The mechanism by which trofinetide exerts therapeutic effects in patients with Rett syndrome is unknown. Trofinetide was approved for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2023 under the trade name DAYBUE or DAYBUE STIX.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to the financial results and financial guidance that are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), this press release also contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted revenues for NUPLAZID for the periods 2022 through 2025. When preparing the non-GAAP financial results, the Company excludes adjustments made to reflect the change in estimate in its NUPLAZID IRA rebate accruals covering the four fiscal years 2022 through 2025, which management considers to be unusual and a non-recurring item. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses this non-GAAP measure to better analyze the Company’s financial results, compare period-to-period changes and evaluate performance, and believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements to help indicate underlying trends in the Company's business, compare current results with prior period results and provide additional information regarding the Company's financial position. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles in the reconciliation table above. Accordingly, the non-GAAP measures presented here are also unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP disclosures released by other companies. In addition, from time to time in the future, there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures.
