Recent Developments
Internal Investigation Relating to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On October 27, 2025, we announced an internal investigation conducted by the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") regarding our sales practices for wholesalers as described in the Form 8-K.
Overview of Audit Committee Investigation and Findings
As disclosed in the Form 8-K and Amendment No. 1 (the "10-K Amendment"), filed on November 10, 2025, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Original Form 10-K") and amendments (the "10-Q Amendments" and, together with the 10-K Amendment, the "Amendments") to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 (such original filings, the "Original Form 10-Qs" and, together with the Original Form 10-K, the "Original Reports"), after concerns regarding our sales practices for wholesalers for Nexplanonwere brought to the Board's attention, the Audit Committee oversaw an independent, internal investigation into these sales practices. The Audit Committee's investigation focused on our sales of Nexplanonto wholesalers. The investigation found that we asked two wholesalers in the United States to purchase greater quantities of Nexplanonat the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and the first, second and third quarters of 2025 (collectively, the "Relevant Periods") than they otherwise would have purchased based on wholesaler demand. In certain instances, we waived inventory management fee performance metrics associated with caps on days of inventory to allow wholesalers to be paid the inventory management fees they would have earned but for the Company's ask to purchase additional inventory. As a result of these purchases, the United States wholesalers significantly decreased or even halted their purchases of Nexplanonduring the early weeks of the following quarters until their days of inventory on hand were reduced to levels within the contractual range. Although the incremental amount of Nexplanonsales that occurred during the Relevant Periods represented less than 1% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2024, as applicable (and less than 2% of the Company's consolidated
-27-
revenue for the relevant quarterly periods), based on the results of the investigation, we have determined that without these sales practices, our consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 reported in the Original Reports (and certain of the other Relevant Periods) would have fallen short of our guidance range and/or certain external expectations. The Audit Committee investigation did not find that the use of these sales practices for wholesalers extended to sales other than sales of Nexplanon in the United States during the Relevant Periods, or that these sales practices for wholesalers were otherwise used for any other Company products.
In connection with the investigation, the Audit Committee found that (i) our former Chief Executive Officer and leader of our U.S. commercial organization applied inappropriate pressure to achieve sales targets, which resulted in two United States wholesalers being asked to purchase inventory in excess of current customer demand for Nexplanon, (ii) our processes with respect to reporting and documenting the sales practices for wholesalers during the Relevant Periods, including with respect to inventory management fee performance metric waivers, were not followed, (iii) the former Chief Executive Officer did not reasonably ensure that relevant information was appropriately communicated; rather, relevant information was withheld from our independent directors, the Audit Committee, and the independent registered public accounting firm, and (iv) our former Chief Executive Officer and leader of our U.S. commercial organization engaged in inappropriate business conduct that violated our Code of Conduct. There were no investigative findings that other members of our executive leadership team, including the Company's Chief Financial Officer, or any member of our accounting and financial reporting group involved in the preparation of our financial statements, were aware that these sales practices resulted in the United States wholesalers being asked to purchase inventory that exceeded their demand or contractual limits, or that waivers were given so that the United States wholesalers would continue to receive inventory management fees. The Audit Committee's investigation is complete.
Based on the results of the Audit Committee's investigation, we determined that these sales practices for wholesalers involving Nexplanonin the United States during the Relevant Periods were improper, and that certain of our prior disclosures relating to these sales practices for wholesalers and their effect upon revenues and product demand in our periodic filings were inaccurate or incomplete. As a result, we filed the Amendments.
Company Determinations Following the Audit Committee Findings
As disclosed in the Amendments, as a result of the investigation and the Audit Committee findings, our management, in consultation with the Audit Committee, has re-assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
As a result as reported in the Amendments, we concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 and that management's assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 that were included in Item 9A of the Original Form 10-K should no longer be relied upon, as a result of the material weaknesses disclosed in the 10-K Amendment.
A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For additional information, see Part I, Item 4 of this report.
We have determined that there will be no restatement or revision to our previously issued financial statements, including those filed with the Original Reports.
Change in Management
In connection with the Audit Committee investigation, on October 26, 2025, (i) Kevin Ali resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board, (ii) Joseph Morrissey, the then-current Executive Vice President and Head of Manufacturing & Supply of the Company, was appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer (and principal executive officer) of the Company, (iii) Carrie S. Cox, Chair of the Board, was appointed Executive Chair for an interim period, and (iv) Robert Essner, a member of the Board, was appointed to the position of Lead Independent Director. Additionally and in connection with the Audit Committee investigation, on October 26, 2025, the Company terminated the employment of its Head of U.S. Commercial & Government Affairs.

Business Development
Biogen Inc. ("Biogen")
In March 2025, we acquired from Biogen the regulatory and commercial rights in the United States for Tofidence, a biosimilar to Actemra2(tocilizumab), for intravenous infusion. Tofidence, launched in the U.S. market in May 2024, is indicated in certain patients for the treatment of moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and COVID-19. Under the terms of the agreement with Biogen, we paid an upfront payment of $51 million in July 2025, and will be obligated to pay tiered royalty payments based on net sales and tiered annual net sales milestone payments of up to $45 million from a previous in-license arrangement with Bio-Thera Solutions Ltd., the product developer for Tofidence. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized an intangible asset of $51 million, related to the upfront payment to Biogen, which will be amortized over 10 years.
Other Macroeconomic Considerations
Geopolitical developments, global trade issues such as tariffs imposed by or on the United States, shifting U.S. federal and state government policies, policies hindering market access, and worsening macroeconomic conditions could impact our business and results of operations and may stress our working capital resources. While tariffs have not, to date, had a material impact on our business, future tariff actions could potentially have a significant effect on our supply chain and operating costs. Regulatory agency developments, including disruptions at the FDA and other agencies, could increase the time needed for review and approval of new drugs and medical devices, potentially impacting our ability to develop new drugs, delaying our product launches and impacting our business operations. Additionally, proposed cuts to Medicaid and changes in federal funding policies could reduce access to healthcare services for low-income individuals.
International reference pricing frameworks, including Most-Favored-Nation ("MFN") mandates, may further constrain our pricing flexibility and commercial strategy. Voluntary price concessions in certain European markets and increased rebate negotiations across the European Union have introduced additional pressure on net pricing and margins. These developments may influence our commercial strategy, constrain pricing flexibility and delay product launches. For additional information, please refer to Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II. Item 1A below.

Worldwide sales were $1.6 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 1%, compared to 2024. Worldwide sales were positively impacted by approximately 2% or $36 million, due to favorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales increases for the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily reflect the performance of:
•Vtama, due to the acquisition of Dermavant in the fourth quarter of 2024, launch of the atopic dermatitis indication in adults and children two years of age and older in the United States and launch of the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults in Canada in the third quarter of 2025;
•Hadlima® (adalimumab-bwwd), reflecting sales ramp up since its launch in July 2023 in the United States and a modest increase in international markets; and
•Emgality®2 (galcanezumab-gnlm), due to the acquisition of the distribution and promotion rights from Lilly in 2024 in certain markets outside of the United States.
This performance was offset by decreases for the three months ended September 30, 2025 in:
•Singulair®(montelukast sodium), due to lower demand outside of the United States and the negative impact from price reductions in Japan and China;
•Atozet, primarily due to LOE in France, Spain and Japan, partially offset by increased demand in Asia Pacific, Latin America and China;
•Nexplanon,primarily due to lower demand and decreased funding of government programs in the United States, partially offset by increased demand in Brazil and the timing of tenders, primarily in Mexico.Nexplanonsales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included an estimated $17 million of sales resulting from the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the "Recent Developments" section above, which was offset by an estimated $15 million of sales from such sales practices for wholesalers that were pulled forward into the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting in a net impact of $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The impact was estimated using average daily sales, inventory levels at the wholesaler and days on hand at the wholesaler; and
•Dulera®(formoterol/fumarate dihydrate), primarily due to the loss of a customer contract in the first part of the year combined with increased discount rate pressure in the United States. In the third quarter, demand was further impacted by supply constraints.
Worldwide sales were $4.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of 2%, compared to 2024. Worldwide sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were positively impacted by approximately $2 million, due to favorable foreign exchange rates.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales increases for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflect the performance of:
•Vtama, due to the acquisition of Dermavant in the fourth quarter of 2024, launch of the atopic dermatitis indication in adults and children two years of age and older in the United States and launch of the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults in Canada in the third quarter of 2025;

•Emgality, due to the acquisition of the distribution and promotion rights from Lilly in 2024 in certain markets outside of the United States.
This performance was more than offset by decreases for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 in:
•Atozet, primarily due to LOE in France, Spain and Japan, partially offset by increased demand in Asia Pacific, Latin America and China;

•Singulair, due to lower demand outside of the United States and the negative impact from price reductions in Japan and China; and
•Dulera,primarily due to the loss of a customer contract in the first part of the year combined with increased discount rate pressure in the United States. In the third quarter, demand was further impacted by supply constraints.
LOE negatively impacted sales of certain of our products by approximately $47 million and $170 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, based on the decrease in volume period over period. This was primarily driven by the LOE of Atozetin France, Spain and Japan and Rosuzet™(ezetimibe and rosuvastatin) in Japan. Volume-based procurement ("VBP") in China had an immaterial impact on our sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We expect VBP to continue to impact our general medicines product portfolio for the next several quarters.
Due to changing market conditions, new and evolving U.S. and international tariffs, U.S. tax law changes and regulatory uncertainty that impact our business, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, we have been and will continue to adapt our business and sales strategies to address this changing landscape in order to achieve our business objectives and remain competitive. Such strategies may include implementing or continuing to assess product discount programs and wholesaler inventory levels under the relevant agreements or waivers of their terms for certain key products.
Our operations include a portfolio of products. Highlights of the sales of our products for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are provided below. See Note 5 "Product and Geographic Information" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on sales of our products.

Contraception
Worldwide sales of Nexplanon,a single-rod subdermal contraceptive implant, decreased 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to lower demand and decreased funding of government programs in the United States, partially offset by increased demand in Brazil and the timing of tenders, primarily in Mexico. Sales increased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to increased demand in Brazil and the timing of tenders in various international markets offset by lower demand and decreased funding of government programs in the United States. Nexplanon sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included an estimated $17 million of sales resulting from the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the "Recent Developments" section above, offset by an estimated $15 million of sales from such identified sales practices for wholesalers that were pulled forward into the year ended December 31, 2024, which resulted in a net impact of $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 there was an estimated $5 million of Nexplanonsales resulting from the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the "Recent Developments" section above. The impact was estimated using average daily sales, inventory levels at the wholesaler and days on hand at the wholesaler. The Company ceased the identified sales practices for wholesalers described in the "Recent Developments" section above, which will adversely impact the fourth quarter 2025 sales. With regard to Nexplanon's five-year duration indication, we continue to have collaborative discussions with the FDA. Though we were recently notified that the agency needs more time to complete the review of our submission, the PDUFA three-month extension is not material to our original timeline, which was to launch in late 2025 or early 2026.
Worldwide sales of NuvaRing, a vaginal contraceptive product, increased 9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, due to increased demand in the United States, partially offset by ongoing generic competition. Sales declined 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, due to the loss of a customer contract in 2024 and ongoing generic competition, partially offset by favorable discount rates in the United States associated with a new agreement. We expect a continued decline in NuvaRingsales as a result of generic competition.

Worldwide sales of Marvelon™1 (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill) and Mercilon™1 (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol pill), combined oral hormonal daily contraceptive pills not approved or marketed in the United States, but available in certain countries outside the United States, remained consistent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, as a result of favorable pricing in Asia Pacific offset by the phasing of shipments in various international markets. The nine months ended September 30, 2025 was impacted by increased demand in China.
Fertility
Worldwide sales of Follistim AQ, a fertility treatment, increased 1% and 20% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to increased demand in select international markets. The nine months ended September 30, 2025 was impacted by a one-time buy-in as a result of our exit from our interim operating model agreement in the United States with Merck related to this product during the fourth quarter of 2023, which resulted in lower sales in the first half of 2024.
Other Women's Health
Worldwide sales of Jada, a device intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted, increased 30% and 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively. The sales increase is due to continued uptake in the United States following the Jada launch in early 2022. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest the JadaSystem to Laborie Medical Technologies Corporation. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Renflexis®(infliximab-abda) is a biosimilar to Remicade2 (infliximab) for the treatment of certain autoimmune conditions. Sales declined 2% and 9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, primarily due to competitive pressure and unfavorable discount rates in the United States, partially offset by increased demand in Canada.
Hadlimais a biosimilar to Humira2(adalimumab) for the treatment of certain autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. Sales increased 57% and 62% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to sales ramp up since its launch in July 2023 in the United States and a modest increase in international markets. We have commercialization rights to Hadlimain countries outside of the European Union, South Korea, China, Turkey, and Russia. Hadlimais currently approved in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Israel.
Ontruzant® (trastuzumab-dttb) is a biosimilar to Herceptin2(trastuzumab) for the treatment of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer and HER2-overexpressing metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, increased 54% due to increased demand and timing of tenders in Brazil partially offset by unfavorable pricing in Brazil. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, declined 25%, due to competitive pressure in the United States, unfavorable pricing and lower tendered volume from Brazil's Ministry of Health when compared with 2024. We have commercialization rights to Ontruzantin all countries except in South Korea and China.
Brenzys™ 1(etanercept) is a biosimilar to Enbrel2(etanercept) for the treatment of certain inflammatory diseases. Sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, declined 13% and 5%, respectively, as a result of the

timing of international tenders in Brazil, partially offset by increased demand in Asia Pacific. We have commercialization rights to Brenzysin countries outside of the United States, Europe, South Korea, China, and Japan.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 13% and 7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024. Cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, includes amortization associated with the inventory fair value adjustment related to the Dermavant acquisition of $12 million and $31 million, respectively, an impairment charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 related to a currently marketed women's health product of $9 million and amortization of intangible assets of $52 million and $155 million, respectively. Cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes amortization of intangible assets of $35 million and $102 million, respectively. In addition, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were impacted by increased costs to optimize our manufacturing and supply network and unfavorable foreign exchange rates. Separation costs associated with manufacturing-related headcount reductions have been incurred and are reflected in Restructuring costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 7% and 9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to increased costs to optimize our manufacturing and supply network, the impact of unfavorable price, unfavorable product mix and foreign exchange translation offset by an increase in volume.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2% and remained consistent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, due to lower costs related to the prior year implementation of our ERP system offset by increased costs associated with the promotion of our recently acquired products and Nexplanon and reserves for legal settlements.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses decreased 24% and 19% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in headcount related expenses and clinical study activity. In July 2025, we announced that the Phase 2 ELENA proof-of-concept study evaluating the investigational candidate OG-6219 in endometriosis-related pain did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint. Based on these results, we made the decision to discontinue the OG-6219 clinical development program.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development and Milestones
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $6 million in acquired in-process research and development and milestones, related to the exit of our agreement with Centergene, due to the evolving fertility landscape in China. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, acquired in-process research and development and milestones of $51 million primarily represents the research and development milestones related to our agreement with Henlius, which were determined to be probable of being achieved. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, acquired in-process research and development and milestones of $81 million primarily represents the research and development milestones of $70 million for our agreement with Henlius and $10 million for our agreement with Cirqle, which were determined to be probable of being achieved.
Restructuring Costs
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred restructuring costs of $88 million comprised primarily of headcount-related restructuring expense associated with restructuring initiatives that were aimed at driving operational efficiencies in 2025. The restructuring activities combined with our other cost savings initiatives are expected to result in approximately $200 million of annual savings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we incurred restructuring costs of $23 million, comprised of headcount-related restructuring expense related to the optimization of our internal operations, primarily within the research and development function.
-35-
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, and reflects interest related to the debt acquired as part of the Dermavant acquisition, partially offset by lower interest rates as a result of refinancing a portion of our long-term debt in the prior year and the repurchase and cancellation of the 2031 Notes. Interest expense decreased 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, and reflects lower interest rates as a result of refinancing a portion of our long-term debt in the prior year and the repurchase and cancellation of the 2031 Notes combined with lower reference rates on our variable rate debt, offset by interest related to the debt acquired as part of the Dermavant acquisition and previously unamortized debt issuance fees of approximately $2 million associated with the repurchase and cancellation of $242 million of the 2031 Notes.
Exchange Losses
Exchange losses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to unfavorable movements in certain foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. While the U.S. dollar weakened overall during 2025, several currencies in which we have exposure experienced adverse shifts, resulting in increased losses.
Other (Income) Expense, net
Other (income) expense, net was impacted for the three months ended September 30, 2025, by the fair value adjustments and accretion of the Dermavant acquisition contingent consideration, related to changes in the timing of expected commercial milestones based on updated sales forecasts. Other (income) expense, net was impacted for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, by a $46 million pre-tax gain related to the repurchase and cancellation of approximately $242 million of the 2031 Notes and the repayment and termination of the NovaQuest Funding Agreement and the fair value adjustments and accretion of the Dermavant acquisition contingent consideration, related to changes in the timing of expected commercial milestones based on updated sales forecasts.
Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rates were 34.0% and (73.7)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 31.6% and (11.3)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These effective income tax rates reflect the beneficial impact of foreign earnings, offset by the impact of U.S. inclusions under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime and a partial valuation allowance recorded against non-deductible U.S. interest expense. There was a favorable impact to the 2025 year-to-date effective tax rate driven by a tax amortization benefit. The favorable impact to the 2024 year-to-date effective tax rate was driven by the reversal of a valuation allowance, the favorable closure of two non-U.S. tax audits and a return to provision adjustment for an entity in Switzerland.
On July 4, 2025, U.S. House Resolution 1, referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), was signed into law. The OBBBA includes significant corporate tax provisions such as modifications to interest deductibility, the option to fully expense U.S.-based R&D costs, and changes to the taxation of foreign earnings. For 2025, any impact of the OBBBA is immaterial. For 2026 and beyond, we are evaluating the impacts of the OBBBA on our U.S. cash tax liability and income tax provision.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $672 million. We have historically generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. Our ability to fund our operations and anticipated capital needs is reliant upon the generation of cash from operations, supplemented as necessary by periodic utilization of our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings, strategic business development transactions and the payment of dividends. We believe that our financing arrangements, future cash from operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our future cash flow needs.

Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities and was $2.02 billion and $1.63 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Working capital was impacted by our active cash cycle management, which includes the factoring of receivables and timing of vendor payments; milestone payments; net repayments of debt; and increased inventory associated with the acquisition of the Oss Biotech Site.
We have accounts receivable factoring agreements with financial institutions in certain countries. Under these agreements, we have factored $268 millionand $186 millionof our accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See Note 11 "Financial Instruments" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Company's' accounts receivable factoring and related agreements.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $559 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $549 million for the same period in the prior year due to lower operating income, partially offset by our active cash cycle management.
Net cash used in investing activities was $325 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $217 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased milestone payments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $374 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with $286 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by the repurchase and cancellation of $242 million of the 2031 Notes and the payment and termination of the NovaQuest Funding Agreement, partially offset by borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility, decreased dividend payments in the current year and no debt issuance costs compared to the prior period.
As part of our post-spinoff plan, we have an ongoing initiative to further optimize our manufacturing and supply network. As part of this initiative, we will continue to separate our supply chain through planned exits from supply agreements with Merck through 2031. This will enable us to redefine our appropriate sourcing strategy, and move to fit-for-purpose supply chains, while focusing on delivering efficiencies. We anticipate we will incur costs associated with this separation, including but not limited to accelerated depreciation, exit premiums and fees, technology transfer costs, stability and qualification batch costs, one-time resourcing costs, regulatory and filing costs, capital investment, and inventory stock bridges.
Our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2025, which require material cash requirements in the future, consist of contractual milestones, purchase obligations and lease obligations. Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details. As of September 30, 2025, total potential payments for contractual milestones are $2.6 billion. Potential amounts to be paid through the remainder of 2025 is approximately $20 million. As of September 30, 2025, other than the update for contractual milestones, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside of the ordinary course of business.
During the third quarter of 2025, we paid cash dividends of $0.02 per share. On November 10, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.02 for each issued and outstanding share of our common stock. The dividend is payable on December 11, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2025.
We or our affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such transactions, if any, may be material, and will depend upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
