NOVOCURE LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization. NovoCure Limited (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") was incorporated in the Bailiwick of Jersey and is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and commercialization of Tumor Treating Fields ("TTFields") devices, including Optune Gio, Optune Pax and Optune Lua (collectively, our "Products"), for the treatment of solid tumor cancers. The Company markets Optune Gio, Optune Pax and Optune Lua in multiple countries around the globe with the majority of revenues coming from the use of Optune Gio in the U.S., Germany, France and Japan. The Company also has a License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Zai Agreement") with Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Zai") to market Optune in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan ("Greater China").
Financial statement preparation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation for the periods presented. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2026.
The significant accounting policies applied in the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as disclosed in the 2025 10-K are applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements except for the adoption of ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): "Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”, see below.
Concentration Risks. The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables are potentially subject to a concentration of risk. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are invested at top tier financial institutions globally and the total value invested at any one institution is limited pursuant to the Company's investment policy. These investments may be in excess of insured limitations or not insured in certain jurisdictions. Generally, these investments may be redeemed upon demand according to the terms of the securities.
The Company's trade receivables are due from numerous governments and federal and state agencies that are paid from their respective budgets, and from hundreds of health insurance companies. The Company does not believe that there are significant default risks associated with these governments, agencies and health insurance companies based upon the Company's historical experience.
The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This amendment introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis, and elected the practical expedient provided by ASU 2025-05. Under this expedient, the Company assumes that economic conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the remaining life of all current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under ASC 606. The Company continues to estimate expected credit losses for non-current receivables and contract assets in accordance with ASC 326. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently announced accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU was updated to consider different methods of software development and requires internal use software costs to be capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and when significant uncertainty associated with the development of the software has been resolved. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (the year ending December 31, 2028, for the Company), with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either through a prospective, retrospective or a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2: CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash, with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased, and short-term investments include items with maturity dates between three months and one year when purchased. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were composed of:

(1) Changes in fair value of held-to-maturity ("HTM") securities are presented for disclosure purposes as required by ASC 320 "Investments — Debt Securities" and are recorded as finance expenses only if the unrealized loss is identified as a credit loss.
In accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," the Company measures its money market funds at fair value. The fair value of the money market funds and HTM securities, which is presented for disclosure purposes, is classified within Level 1 or Level 2. This is because these assets are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all investments mature in one year or less.
Unrealized losses from debt securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe any remaining unrealized losses represent credit losses based on the evaluation of available evidence.
NOTE 3: INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The weighted average methodology is applied to determine cost. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s inventories were composed of:

NOTE 5: LONG-TERM DEBT, NET
a.Senior secured credit facility, net
On May 1, 2024 Novocure Luxembourg S.a.r.l. ("Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility of up to $400,000 (the "Facility") with BPCR Limited Partnership and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP (collectively, the "Lenders"), BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent for the Lenders, and the guarantors party to such agreement (the "Loan Agreement"). The Facility could be drawn in up to four drawings. The Loan Agreement provides for an initial term loan in the principal amount of $100,000 (the "Tranche A Loan"), which was funded to the Borrower on May 1, 2024 (the "Tranche A Funding Date"). Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower was required to draw $100,000 on the Facility on or before September 30, 2025 (the "Tranche B Loan"), which was drawn down on that date. Not later than December 31, 2025, the Borrower had the option to draw an additional $100,000 of the Facility (the "Tranche C Loan"). In addition, not later than March 31, 2026, the Borrower had the option to draw an additional $100,000 of the Facility (the "Tranche D Loan"). As of September 30, 2026, the Company has borrowed the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 . The Company did not give notice of its intent to borrow the Tranche C Loan. As a result, the Company no longer has the ability to borrow the Tranche C or Tranche D Loans. The obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries and secured by a first lien on the Borrower's and certain of the Company's other subsidiaries’ assets. Outstanding term loans under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at an annual rate equal to 6.25 % plus the three-months SOFR (subject to a 3.25 % floor), payable quarterly in arrears and calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 360-day year. The Borrower paid 2.5 % of additional consideration on each principal draw, with payment for the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan paid on the Tranche A Funding Date. Principal under the Facility will be repaid in eight equal quarterly repayments commencing with the third quarter of 2027 and continuing each quarter thereafter, with the final payment of outstanding principal due on the fifth anniversary of the Tranche A Funding Date. Voluntary prepayment of all, but not less than all, of the term loans outstanding is permitted at any time, subject to make-whole and prepayment premiums as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Prepayment of all term loans outstanding, subject to make-whole and prepayment premiums, is due and payable upon a change-in-control as defined in the Loan Agreement. Make-whole and prepayment premiums are due and payable for the Tranche B Loans for any voluntary prepayment of the term loans outstanding, upon a change-in-control (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and upon any acceleration of the maturity date, in each case regardless of whether the Tranche B Loan is drawn.

NOTE 7: SHARE OPTION PLANS AND ESPP
In April 2024, the Company adopted the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"), which replaced the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"). Effective June 3, 2026, the 2024 Plan was amended following approval from the Company's shareholders to add an additional 9,000,000 ordinary shares eligible for grant under the 2024 Plan. Under the 2024 Plan, the Company can issue various types of equity compensation awards such as share options, restricted shares, performance shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance-based share units (“PSUs”), long-term cash awards and other share-based awards. The total number of shares of the Company’s ordinary shares that may be granted under the 2024 Plan consists of (i) 17,566,982 ordinary shares plus (ii) the number of undelivered shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan that become available for future awards under the 2024 Plan as provided for in the 2024 Plan.
Options granted under the 2024 Plan generally will have a two-year or four-year vesting period and expire ten years after the date of grant. Options granted under the 2015 Plan and 2024 Plan that are canceled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants under the 2024 Plan. RSUs granted under the 2024 Plan generally will vest over a three-year period. PSUs granted under the 2024 Plan generally will vest between a - and six-year period as performance targets are attained. The 2024 Plan provides that all share-based awards have a minimum one-year vesting period from the date of grant, except for awards to non-employee directors that vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual general meeting of shareholders (not less than 50 weeks after grant), and other exceptions granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, up to a maximum of five percent (5 %) of the available share pool. RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan and 2024 Plan that are canceled before expiration become available for future grants under the 2024 Plan.
As of September 30, 2026, 13,936,367 ordinary shares were available for grant under the 2024 Plan.

In February 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Novocure Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), effective June 4, 2025 (the "ESPP Effective Date"), following approval from the Company's shareholders. The ESPP replaced the Company's expiring prior employee share purchase plan, which was adopted in 2015 (the "Prior ESPP"). The purpose of the ESPP is to encourage and enable eligible employees to acquire ownership of the
15
Company’s ordinary shares purchased through accumulated payroll deductions on an after-tax basis. The total number of shares of the Company’s ordinary shares that may be issued under the ESPP is 6,366,651 shares. In the United States, the ESPP is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and the provisions of the ESPP are construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of such section. As of September 30, 2026, 6,040,676 ordinary shares were available to be purchased by eligible employees under the ESPP.
The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model for all equity grants. For market condition awards, the Company also applied the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The Company assessed fair value using the following underlying assumptions:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide information to assist you in better understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. We encourage you to read this MD&A in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the period ended September 30, 2026 included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please refer to the information under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this report. References to the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this report refer to NovoCure Limited, including its consolidated subsidiaries.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in preparing our financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We develop and periodically change these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 10-K"). For additional information, see Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. There were no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2025 10-K.
Overview
We are a global oncology company with a proprietary platform technology called Tumor Treating Fields ("TTFields"), which are electric fields that exert physical forces to kill cancer cells. Our therapy is delivered through a medical device. Our key priorities are to drive commercial adoption of Optune Gio®, Optune Lua®, and Optune Pax® (collectively, our "Products"), our commercial TTFields therapy devices, obtain regulatory approval to market TTFields therapy devices in new indications, such as brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC"), and to advance clinical and product development programs intended to extend overall survival in some of the most aggressive forms of cancer.
Optune Gio is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under the Premarket Approval ("PMA") pathway for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma ("GBM") together with temozolomide, a chemotherapy drug, and for adult patients with GBM following confirmed recurrence after chemotherapy as monotherapy treatment. We also have a CE certificate to market Optune Gio for the treatment of GBM in the European Union ("EU"), as well as approval or local registration in the United Kingdom ("UK"), Japan, Canada and certain other countries.
Optune Lua is approved by the FDA under the PMA pathway for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC concurrent with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors or docetaxel following progression on or after a platinum-based regimen. We also have a CE certificate to market Optune Lua concurrent with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors or docetaxel following progression on or after a platinum-based regimen for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC in the EU. Optune Lua is also approved in Japan for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable advanced/recurrent NSCLC concurrent with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors following progression on or after a platinum-based regimen.
Optune Lua is also approved by the FDA under the Humanitarian Device Exemption ("HDE") pathway for the treatment of adult patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma or pleural mesothelioma (together, "MPM") together with standard chemotherapies. We have also have a CE certificate in the EU and approval or local registration to market Optune Lua for the treatment of MPM in certain other countries.
Optune Pax is approved by the FDA under the PMA pathway for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer concurrent with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel ("gem/nab-pac"). We also have a CE certificate to market Optune Pax for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer of exocrine origin, concomitant with gem/nab-pac in accordance with guideline recommendations. Optune Pax is also
18
approved in Japan for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer concurrent with gem/nab-pac.
We market our Products in multiple countries around the globe with the majority of our revenues coming from the use of Optune Gio in the U.S., Germany, France and Japan. We are actively evaluating opportunities to expand access to Optune Gio, Optune Lua and Optune Pax in additional international markets.
We have established coverage policies with both public and private payers for the use of Optune Gio in our active markets. In March, we announced the approval of a national reimbursement coverage policy in Japan for the use of Optune Lua for the treatment of NSCLC. We are actively pursuing coverage policies with payers to expand access to our Products and in the meantime we will bill and seek reimbursement from payers on an individual case basis, as applicable.
In September 2025, we presented final data from the Phase 3 METIS clinical trial evaluating the use of TTFields therapy and best supportive care for the treatment of adult patients (n=298) with 1-10 brain metastases from NSCLC following stereotactic radiosurgery ("METIS") at the 2025 American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting. The METIS trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in time to intracranial progression for patients treated with TTFields therapy and supportive care compared to patients treated with supportive care alone. In December 2025, we submitted the final module of our PMA application with the FDA seeking approval for the use of TTFields therapy for the treatment of brain metastases from NSCLC under the brand name Optune Mya®.
In March, we announced topline results from the Phase 2 PANOVA-4 clinical trial ("PANOVA-4") evaluating the use of TTFields therapy together with atezolizumab, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (collectively, "systemic therapies") for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. PANOVA-4 met its pre-specified primary endpoint, achieving a statistically significant improvement in disease control rate (DCR) compared to the DCR reported in the Phase 3 MPACT study used as the historical control. Patients in PANOVA-4 achieved a DCR of 74% compared 48% in patients receiving gem/nab-pac alone (N=431) in the MPACT trial (difference = 26.4%, 1-sided p-value < 0.001). Secondary endpoint analyses for overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR) were also completed, with PANOVA-4 patients exhibiting a median OS of 9.7 months and ORR of 34.6% (95% CI, 24.2% - 46.2%). Median duration of treatment with TTFields therapy was 25.6 weeks and six cycles of systemic therapies. TTFields therapy was well-tolerated and device related safety was consistent with prior clinical studies.
In June, we announced that we received a CE certificate to market Optune Pax for the first-line treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer of exocrine origin, concomitant with gem/nab-pac in accordance with guideline recommendations. The CE Mark is supported by data from the Phase 3 PANOVA-3 trial ("PANOVA-3"), which demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in median OS for patients treated with Optune Pax and gem/nab-pac, compared to patients who received gem/nab-pac alone, while also significantly extending time to pain progression. Because the use of gem/nab-pac may vary by market, the approved CE certificate intended purpose for Optune Pax includes a reference to guideline recommendations to account for local differences. We began certifying prescribing physicians for Optune Pax in Germany in July.
In October, we announced that we received approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) for Optune Pax for the treatment of adult patients diagnosed with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer, concomitant with gem/nab-pac. The approval is supported by data from PANOVA-3, which demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in median OS for patients treated with Optune Pax and gem/nab-pac, compared to patients who received gem/nab-pac alone, while also significantly extending time to pain progression.
We believe the physical mechanisms of action behind TTFields therapy may be broadly applicable to solid tumor cancers. We have several ongoing clinical trials which further explore the use of TTFields therapy in these solid tumor cancers, including our Phase 3 KEYNOTE D58 trial in newly diagnosed GBM, which we expect to complete enrollment by the end of 2026, and our Phase 3 LUNAR-2 trial in NSCLC. We anticipate expanding our clinical pipeline over time to study the safety and efficacy of TTFields therapy for our existing and additional solid tumor indications and for use together with other cancer treatment modalities.
We are exploring options to modify our LUNAR-2 trial design with the goals of compressing the timeline to completion and significantly reducing costs. We have engaged with regulators regarding potential protocol revisions to streamline the trial’s primary endpoints with the goal of reducing the patient sample size.
In October, we entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Verastem Oncology ("Verastem") to explore the concomitant use of TTFields therapy together with VS-7375, an oral KRAS G12D inhibitor, and chemotherapy in
19
locally advanced pancreatic cancer. We plan to initiate a clinical trial to evaluate safety and tolerability in approximately 25 patients.
We have several product development programs underway that are designed to optimize the delivery of TTFields to the target tumor and enhance patient ease of use. Our intellectual property portfolio contains hundreds of issued patents and numerous patent applications pending worldwide. We believe we possess global commercialization rights to our Products in oncology and are well-positioned to extend those rights into the future as we continue to find innovative ways to improve our Products.
In 2018, we granted Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. ("Zai") a license to commercialize our Products in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan ("Greater China") under a License and Collaboration Agreement (the "Zai Agreement"). The Zai Agreement also establishes a development partnership intended to accelerate the development of TTFields therapy in multiple solid tumor cancer indications. For additional information, see Note 13 to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
We view our operations and manage our business in one operating segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, our net revenues were $193.4 million and $551.0 million, respectively. Our net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $10.4 million and $97.2 million. As of September 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,387.6 million.
Impact of Current Events
Conflict in Israel
Since October 2023, the State of Israel has been in a state of war. As of the date of this filing, we believe that there is no immediate risk to our business facilities or operations. Our supply chain teams have increased stock levels to mitigate distribution and service risks from our suppliers in Israel, some of whom are single-source suppliers. Pursuant to our policy to seek and maintain second-source suppliers wherever possible, we are in the process of obtaining second-source suppliers outside of Israel when feasible; however we can provide no assurance that we will secure or maintain such suppliers on a timely basis. Where second-sources suppliers are not reasonably available, we maintain increased inventories to reduce risk. We do not believe the current escalation of hostilities with Iran will have an incremental impact.
Recent Changes to U.S. Tariff Rates
Throughout 2025 and 2026, the U.S. has increased or threatened to increase tariff rates on imported goods from numerous countries. The manufacturing of our Products and associated accessories is fully outsourced to third parties across multiple countries. In recent years, in anticipation of active patient growth and new indication launches, we began onboarding additional suppliers and/or supply nodes to increase the resilience of our network. As an example, we are in the final steps of adding production capacity in Ireland. This also helps us provide optionality around supply routes to optimize our cost structure, including the emerging tariff landscape. Our current analysis of the global tariff environment leads us to believe there should not be a material impact to gross margins in the short-term and we are actively working to mitigate any potential impacts in the medium to long-term. We are also actively pursuing refunds of tariffs we paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") following the February 2026 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. We believe that we are entitled to recovery of amounts paid; however we cannot be assured that we will be able to collect the full amount or when any recoveries will occur.
We anticipate continued volatility in the global tariff environment through 2026 and we cannot be assured that we will not ultimately be negatively impacted further by these changes.
Commentary on Results of Operations
Net revenues. Our revenues are primarily derived from patients using our Products in our active markets. We charge for treatment with our Products on a monthly basis. Our potential net revenues per patient are determined by our ability to secure payment, the monthly fee we collect and the number of months that the patient remains on therapy. In the case of a new indication launch such as Optune Pax, it can take time for us to generate the claims history needed for a reasonable estimate of collections that will enable us to recognize revenues upon billing without waiting for a final collection of the claim. Until that time, our revenue from pancreatic cancer claims will be recognized in the period of cash collection.
We also recognize revenues pursuant to the Zai Agreement. For additional information regarding the Zai Agreement, see Note 13 to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 10-K.
20
Cost of revenues. We contract with third parties to manufacture our Products. Our cost of revenues is primarily comprised of the following:
•disposable arrays;
•depreciation expense for the field equipment, including the electric field generator used by patients;
•patient support and other personnel costs; and
•overhead costs, such as facilities, freight and depreciation of property, plant and equipment associated with managing our inventory, warehousing and order fulfillment functions.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses consist of research, development and clinical studies, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. Personnel costs are a significant component for each category of operating expenses and consist of wages, benefits and bonuses. Personnel costs also include share-based compensation.
Financial income (expenses), net. Financial income (expenses), net primarily consists of interest income from cash balances and short-term investments, credit facility interest expense and related debt issuance costs, and gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We have historically held substantially all of our cash balances in U.S. dollar denominated accounts to minimize the risk of translational currency exposure.

Key performance indicators
We believe certain commercial operating statistics are useful to investors in evaluating our commercial business as they help our management team and investors evaluate and compare the adoption of our Products from period to period. The number of active patients on therapy is our principal revenue driver. An "active patient" is a patient who
22
is receiving treatment under a commercial prescription order as of the measurement date, including patients who may be on a temporary break from treatment and who plan to resume treatment in less than 60 days.

Prescriptions are an indicator of new indication adoption during the first year of product launch. As such, we are no longer reporting new prescriptions received in indications which have been commercially available for more than one year (GBM, NSCLC, MPM). Prescriptions received for the treatment of pancreatic cancer will be provided for a one-year period following launch.

Net revenues. Net revenues increased 16% to $193.4 million for the three months ending September 30, 2026 from $167.2 million for the same period in 2025. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 the net revenue increase primarily resulted from $15.3 million in growth from the United States and $10.9 million in growth from international markets, collectively driven primarily by 19% active patient growth globally. In the quarter, there were $4.4 million in one-time revenue benefits included in the aforementioned market increases, consisting of $2.2 million from Germany and $2.2 million from the United States related to approval rate increases. Recognized revenue from Optune Lua and Optune Pax in the quarter was $8.2 million and $3.7 million respectively, versus $3.1 million and $0.0 million in the same period last year. The overall increase was offset by $2.0 million of exchange rate effects.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase primarily resulted from $43.2 million in growth from international markets due to 20% active patient growth and reimbursement improvements and $26.8 million from the United States due to 18% active patient growth. The overall increase includes $3.9 million of exchange rate benefits.

Cost of revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the cost of revenues were flat versus prior year primarily due to $4.5 million of lower array costs, mainly resulting from improved array utilization and manufacturing efficiencies in the current period and the absence of a $2.9 million inventory provision recognized in the prior year, mostly offset by 19% growth in active patients.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the cost of revenues were flat versus prior year primarily due to a $4.9 million tariff refund and $12.3 million lower costs of arrays mainly resulting from improved array utilization and manufacturing efficiencies, mostly offset by the active patient growth.
Excluding sales to Zai, cost of revenues per active patient per month was $2,661 for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 16% from $3,159 for the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower array utilization and manufacturing efficiencies. Cost of revenues per active patient is calculated by dividing the cost of revenues for the quarter less equipment sales to Zai for the quarter by the average of the active patients at the end of the prior quarter and the ending active patients in the current quarter. This quarterly figure is then divided by three to estimate the monthly cost of revenues per active patient. Sales to Zai are deducted because they are sold at cost and in anticipation of future royalties from Zai, and Zai patient counts are not included in our active patient population. Cost of products sold to Zai totaled $3.1 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $3.3 million and $9.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Gross margin was 77% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to 73% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The improvement in gross margin is primarily due to 19% active patient growth while keeping the cost of revenues flat. We expect that our gross margins will continue to be impacted by our launches in NSCLC and pancreatic cancer, as well as by the changing tariff landscape. We continue to focus on opportunities to increase efficiencies and scale within our supply chain. This includes evaluating new materials, manufacturers, and processes that could lead to lower costs.

Research, development and clinical study expenses. Research, development and clinical study expenses increased 8% to $58.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $54.0 million for the same period in 2025. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the change was primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in direct clinical trial expenses mostly attributable to KEYNOTE D58, partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in share-based compensation and a $1.6 million decrease in regulatory expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, research, development and clinical expenses the changes were primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in direct clinical trial expenses from the acceleration of KEYNOTE D58 enrollments partially offset by the completion of older clinical studies, a $3.6 million increase in engineering expenses, a $1.9 million increase in preclinical expenses and a $1.5 million increase in quality expenses, partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
Total research and development expenses can fluctuate quarter-to-quarter dependent upon the amount of clinical research organization services delivered, clinical materials procured and the number of trials actively underway within a given quarter.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 9% to $53.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $58.5 million for the same period in 2025. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the change was mainly driven by $4.5 million lower share-based compensation expenses and $2.0 million lower marketing expenses, partially offset by $0.9 in higher sales personnel expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 the changes were primarily due to a $8.4 million increase in sales and marketing efforts and $2.2 million of reimbursement personnel expenses related to the Optune Pax launch in the United States and Optune Lua launch in Japan, partially offset by $10.1 million lower share-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 5% to $43.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 from $45.9 million for the same period in 2025. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, these changes were primarily due to $4.9 million lower share-based compensation expenses partially offset by a $2.2 million retirement of production line equipment as a result of process efficiencies.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the changes were primarily due to $29.9 million higher share-based compensation expenses, resulting primarily from approximately $43.4 million related to PSUs granted in March 2020 to an executive officer that were expensed according to U.S. GAAP as a result of the FDA approval of Optune Pax, but not distributed. Additionally, excluding share based compensation expenses, there was a $4.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from personnel and professional service expenses to support multiple launches.

Financial income decreased by $7.7 million or 128% from $6.0 million in income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to an expense of $1.7 million for the same period in 2026, primarily due to a $5.8 million decrease in interest income on our investments driven by the repayment upon

For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the decrease was primarily attributable a $0.9 million reduction in tax expense associated with intercompany interest income, a $2.8 million decrease related to prior period reserves and a $1.9 million increase in current tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million reduction in tax expense associated with intercompany interest income, a $4.3 million decrease related to prior-period reserves and a $2.6 million increase in current tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
Non-GAAP financial measures
We also measure our performance using a non-GAAP measurement of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of earnings attributable to our capital structure, tax rate and material non-cash items, specifically share-based compensation.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as operating income before financial expenses and income taxes, net of depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation. The following table reconciles net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure, to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to a gain of $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from a loss of $3.0 million for the same period in 2025. For three months ended September 30, 2026, the change in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by revenue growth coupled with cost of revenue efficiency improvements, partially offset by increasing costs for clinical trials. The revenue increase drove a $26.4 million increase in gross profit. The gross profit increase was partially offset by increased operating expenses, primarily due to our KEYNOTE D58 clinical trial. We intend to take actions that prioritize growth and maintain financial health and flexibility as we position our company for future profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred significant losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations since our founding in 2000. As of September 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,387.6 million. To date, we have primarily financed our operations through the exercise of options, issuance and sale of equity and the proceeds from long-term loans.
At September 30, 2026, we had $463.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, an increase of $15.8 million compared to $447.7 million at December 31, 2025, primarily attributable to net cash provided by operations. We believe our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2026 are sufficient for our operations for at least the next 12 months based on our existing business plan and our ability to control the timing of significant expense commitments. We expect that our operating expenses will continue to increase over the next several years and may outpace our gross profit as we prepare to expand into additional indications. As a result, we may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.
The following summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated has been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report:

Operating activities. Net cash used in or provided by operating activities represents our net income (loss) for the periods presented. Adjustments to net income (loss) for non-cash items include share-based compensation and accrued interest, depreciation, amortization and asset write-downs. Operating cash flows are also impacted by changes in working capital as a result of changes in inventories, collections from trade receivables and payments of accounts payables and by changes in other long term assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $48.3 million from $31.0 million net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $17.3 million net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. This was primarily the result of a $15.0 million reduction in net loss, a $12.5 million increase in share based compensation, a $11.7 million decrease of amortization of discount related to investments and a $12.3 million increase in accounts payables and accrued expenses.
Investing activities. Our investing activities consist primarily of investments in and redemptions of our short-term investments as well as investments in property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities was $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $100.9 million net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $21.9 million net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to $2.9 million of net purchases of short term investments offset by the purchase of $19.0 million of property and equipment. The $100.9 million net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to $122.7 million of net proceeds of short-term investments offset by the purchase of $21.8 million of property and equipment.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $108.2 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $8.0 million net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the issuance of shares and the exercise of options. The $108.2 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to proceeds of $100 million from Tranche B of the senior secured term loan in September 2025
27
and $8.2 million attributable to the proceeds from issuance of shares and the the exercise of options under the Company's share option plan.
Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility
On May 1, 2024 Novocure Luxembourg S.a.r.l. ("Borrower"), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a five-year senior secured credit facility of up to $400.0 million (the "Facility") with BPCR Limited Partnership and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP (collectively, the "Lenders"), BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent for the Lenders, and the guarantors party to such agreement (the "Loan Agreement"). The Facility could be drawn in up to four drawings. The Loan Agreement provides for an initial term loan in the principal amount of $100.0 million (the "Tranche A Loan"), which was funded to the Borrower on May 1, 2024 (the "Tranche A Funding Date"). Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower was required to draw $100.0 million on the Facility on or before September 30, 2025 (the "Tranche B Loan"). Not later than December 31, 2025, the Borrower had the option to give notice of its intent to draw an additional $100.0 million of the Facility (the "Tranche C Loan"). In addition, not later than March 31, 2026, the Borrower had the option to draw an additional $100.0 million of the Facility (the "Tranche D Loan"). As of September 30, 2026, we have borrowed the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. We did not give notice of our intent to borrow the Tranche C Loan. As a result, we no longer have the ability to borrow the Tranche C or Tranche D Loans.
The obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by a first lien on the Borrower's and certain of our other subsidiaries’ assets. Outstanding term loans under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at an annual rate equal to 6.25% plus the three-months SOFR (subject to a 3.25% floor), payable quarterly in arrears and calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 360-day year. The Borrower paid 2.5% of additional consideration on each principal draw, with payment for the Tranche A Loan and the Tranche B Loan paid on the Tranche A Funding Date.
Principal under the Facility will be repaid in eight equal quarterly repayments commencing with the third quarter of 2027 and continuing each quarter thereafter, with the final payment of outstanding principal due on the fifth anniversary of the Tranche A Funding Date. Voluntary prepayment of all, but not less than all, of the term loans outstanding is permitted at any time, subject to make-whole and prepayment premiums as set forth in the Loan Agreement. Prepayment of all term loans outstanding, subject to make-whole and prepayment premiums, is due and payable upon a change-in-control as defined in the Loan Agreement. Make-whole and prepayment premiums are due and payable for the Tranche B Loans for any voluntary prepayment of the term loans outstanding, upon a change-in-control (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and upon any acceleration of the maturity date, in each case regardless of whether the Tranche B Loan is drawn.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as
28
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings, claims, investigations and litigation that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Litigation is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of these matters. After considering a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the views of legal counsel, the nature of contingencies to which the Company is subject and prior experience, management believes that the ultimate disposition of these legal actions will not materially affect its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the 2025 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
Securities Trading Plans of Executive Officers and Directors
Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables prearranged transactions in securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions at a future date while possibly in possession of material nonpublic information. Our Insider Trading Policy permits our executive officers and directors to enter into trading plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1.
The following table describes contracts, instructions or written plans for the purchase or sale of our securities that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5–1(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a "Rule 10b5-1 Plan") adopted by our executive officers and directors during the three month period ending September 30, 2026:
| Name and Title | Title | Date of Adoption | Duration of Rule 10b5-1 Plan | Aggregate Number of Securities to be Purchased Pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan | Aggregate Number of Securities to be Sold Pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 Plan | ||||||||||||
| 11/4/2026-12/31/2027 | 24,413 | ||||||||||||||||
This plan amends and replaces the plan adopted by Mr. Leung on August 29, 2025. During the three-month period ending September 30, 2026, none of our other executive officers or directors terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or adopted or terminated a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
