The financial resources at year-end of 106 million Swiss francs (cash and cash equivalents) do not cover the expected negative cashflows for the next twelve months. In order to continue as a going concern, the Group secured the future of its operations by a set of agreements described below:
- On February 25, 2025, the Group announced that more than the required two-thirds majority of bondholders approved to extend the maturity of the CHF 200 million Convertible Bonds to September 17, 2025. The amendments to the Bond terms will become binding and effective upon approval by the higher cantonal composition authority.
- On February 26, 2025, the Group announced that it has reached an agreement with more than the required two-thirds majority of the 2025 and 2028 bondholders to amend the terms of both the CB2025 and CB2028 to, among others, extend the maturity date by 10 years and to secure a fully backstopped money facility for a net amount of CHF 150 million.
- On February 26, 2025, the Group also announced that it has reached an agreement with Viatris Inc. to reduce by USD 100 million Idorsia's contribution to the development costs due in 2025.
The above agreements are subject to certain closing conditions and decisions from the cantonal composition court. Even though the Group is confident to close these agreements, the Group cannot guarantee that the closing conditions will be reached, or the court decisions will be obtained.
Moreover, the Group's operations have not yet reached profitability as sales from existing approved drugs and other revenues do not cover its operating expenses and will therefore continue to require additional funding.
While management and the Board of Directors continue to evaluate all options to further extend the cash runway, stakeholders should be fully aware the Group may be forced to downsize or even discontinue its operations entirely if the Group is unable to obtain adequate liquidity to fund its operations in the future.
As material uncertainties exist, they cast significant doubts about the going concern of the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(CHF thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1.
Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies
Idorsia Ltd ("Idorsia" or the "Group"), a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Allschwil, Switzerland, aims to discover, develop and commercialize innovative drugs for high unmet medical needs.
Basis of presentation
The Group's consolidated financial statements ("Consolidated Financial Statements") have been prepared under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("US GAAP"). All US GAAP references relate to the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") as the single authoritative source of US GAAP to be applied by non-governmental entities. All amounts are presented in Swiss francs ("CHF"), unless otherwise indicated. Rounding differences may occur.

Substantial doubt / material uncertainty about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore does not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
The financial resources at year-end of 106 million Swiss francs (cash and cash equivalents) do not cover the expected negative cashflows for the next twelve months. In order to continue as a going concern, the Group secured the future of its operations by a set of agreements described below:
- On February 25, 2025, the Group announced that more than the required two-thirds majority of bondholders approved to extend the maturity of the CHF 200 million Convertible Bonds to September 17, 2025. The amendments to the Bond terms will become binding and effective upon approval by the higher cantonal composition authority.
- On February 26, 2025, the Group announced that it has reached an agreement with more than the required two-thirds majority of the 2025 and 2028 bondholders to amend the terms of both the CB2025 and CB2028 to, among others, extend the maturity date by 10 years and to secure a fully backstopped money facility for a net amount of CHF 150 million.
- On February 26, 2025, the Group also announced that it has reached an agreement with Viatris Inc. to reduce by USD 100 million Idorsia's contribution to the development costs due in 2025.
The above agreements are subject to certain closing conditions and decisions from the cantonal composition court. Even though the Group is confident to close these agreements, the Group cannot guarantee that the closing conditions will be reached, or the court decisions will be obtained.
<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->
Moreover, the Group's operations have not yet reached profitability as sales from existing approved drugs and other revenues do not cover its operating expenses and will therefore continue to require additional funding.
While management and the Board of Directors continue to evaluate all options to further extend the cash runway, stakeholders should be fully aware the Group may be forced to downsize or even discontinue its operations entirely if the Group is unable to obtain adequate liquidity to fund its operations in the future.
As material uncertainties exist, they cast significant doubts about the going concern of the Group.
Changes in accounting policies
The Group adopted the requirements of ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07") The updated guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2024, applying the enhanced segment disclosure requirements retrospectively (see note 24. Segment and geographic information for further details).
Scope of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Group and its subsidiaries in which the Group has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest and exercises control over their operations (generally more than 50% of the voting rights). Investments in common stock of entities other than subsidiaries where the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee (generally between 20% and 50% of the voting rights) are accounted for under the equity method.
Variable interest entities ("VIE"), irrespective of their legal structure, are consolidated if the Group has been determined to be the primary beneficiary, as defined in the Variable Interest Entities subsection of FASB ASC ("ASC 810-10-25-20 to 59") and thus has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and will also absorb the majority of the VIE's expected losses or receive the majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, or both. In determining whether or not an entity is
a VIE, the Group considers if the equity at risk for the entity is sufficient to support its operations, if the voting rights of the equity holders are disproportionate to their risk and rewards, or if substantially all of the entity's activities are conducted on behalf of the Group. Fees for services provided on customary terms and conditions are not considered variable interests. Fees related to the provision of asset value guarantees, to the obligation to fund losses of the VIE or similar arrangements that protect other variable interest holders from losses in the VIE are included in the primary beneficiary evaluation. The Group did not identify any VIE where the Group is the primary beneficiary.
Ownership interests not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group and related to entities where the Group exercises control through a majority of the voting rights or through contract are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders and presented separately within the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of such entities are attributed to the Group and to the noncontrolling interests in proportion to their ownership rights, even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.
Principles of consolidation
Businesses acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition or until the date of disposal. The acquisition method of accounting follows the guidance codified in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition for contract revenue, share-based compensation, long-term employee benefit obligations, receivables

and inventory valuations, clinical trial accruals, sales related liabilities, royalty monetization liability, provisions, loss contingencies and income taxes. The Group bases its estimates on historical information and on various market-specific and other relevant assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
Revenue from contracts with customers (Product sales)
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Transfer of control is based on when the product is shipped or delivered, and title passes to the customer.
Sales on credit are typically under short-term contracts. Collections are based on market payment cycles common in various markets. Certain customers are offered a cash discount for which the estimated discounts are recorded as contra-revenue when sales are recognized.
Revenue from product sales are not adjusted for the effects of a financing component as at contract inception it is expected that the period between when control of the product is transferred and when payment is received will be one year or less.
The Group initially invoices its customers at contractual list prices. Contracts with direct and indirect customers may provide for various rebates and discounts that may differ in each contract and which are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized. As a consequence, to determine the appropriate transaction price for product sales at the time a sale to a direct customer is recognized, any rebates or discounts that ultimately will be due to the direct customer and other customers in the distribution chain under the terms of the Group's contracts are estimated. Significant judgments are required in making these estimates. These rebate and discount amounts are recorded as a
deduction from sales to reflect net product sales and presented as sales related liabilities on the balance sheet.
Certain contracts with customers also include variable consideration element such as chargebacks, rebates and discounts. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment is required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Sales rebates and discounts in connection with the Group's product sales in the United States of America ("United States", "US") that require the use of significant judgments include managed care, Medicare, Medicaid, chargebacks, coupon and copay programs. These obligations are estimated using an expected value approach.
Pharmaceutical products are sold principally to wholesalers or directly to mailorder or specialty pharmacies. Prescription pharmaceutical products that ultimately are used by patients are generally covered under governmental programs, managed care programs and insurance programs, including those managed through pharmacy benefit managements, and are subject to discounts and/or rebates payable directly to those programs. These products can be supported by coupon and co-pay programs which are also payable directly to those programs. Those discounts and rebates are generally negotiated, but government programs may have legislated amounts by type of product (e.g., patented, or unpatented). In the United States, provisions for Medicare, Medicaid, are recorded based upon experience ratio of rebates paid and actual prescriptions written during earlier periods. The experience ratio is applied to the respective period's sales to determine the rebate accrual and related contra-revenue amount. Discounts on drug sales to Medicare Part D participants in the Medicare "coverage gap," also known as the "doughnut hole" are estimated based on the historical experience of beneficiary prescriptions and consideration of the utilization that is expected to result from the discount in the coverage gap. The Group evaluates these estimates regularly to ensure that the historical trends and future expectations are as current as practicable.

Financial Review
> Consolidated Financial Statements
In other jurisdictions, the majority of pharmaceutical discounts are contractual or legislatively mandated. Estimates are based on actual invoiced sales within each period, which reduces the risk of variations in the estimation process. In some large European countries, government rebates are based on the anticipated budget for pharmaceutical payments in the country. An estimate of these rebates, updated as governmental authorities revise budgeted deficits, is recognized in the same period as the related sale.
Provisions for pharmaceutical chargebacks (primarily reimbursements to wholesalers in the US for honoring contracted prices and legislated discounts to third parties) do not involve much estimation uncertainty, as these deductions are generally settled within two to five weeks of incurring the liability.
Products are generally shipped shortly after orders are received and therefore there are only a few days of orders received but not yet shipped at the end of any reporting period. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities and are not considered to be a separate performance obligation.
Provisions for pharmaceutical sales returns are based on a calculation for each market that incorporates the following, as appropriate: local returns policies and practices; historical returns as a percentage of sales; an understanding of the reasons for past returns; estimated shelf life by product; an estimate of the amount of time between shipment and return or lag time; estimated levels of inventory in the wholesale and retail channels; and any other factors that could impact the estimate of future returns, such as loss of exclusivity, product recalls or a changing competitive environment. Generally, returned products are destroyed, and customers are refunded the sales price in the form of a credit. The return amounts are recorded as a deduction from product sales to reflect net product sales.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, such as sales taxes and VAT, are deducted directly from gross sales without recording them in revenue.

Revenue from collaborations (Contract revenue)
The Group accounts for revenue from collaborations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements.
Upfront and milestone payments
Research milestone payments are recognized as revenues when the performance obligation has been satisfied, control has been transferred, and the Group has the unconditional right to the consideration. For milestone payments received where there are several performance obligations, including continuing involvement in the R&D process according to contractual terms, the consideration is allocated to each separately identifiable performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The portion of the consideration allocated to the R&D services are recognized as the R&D services performance obligations are satisfied, i.e. generally over the requisite service period.
Research and development ("R&D")
R&D expense consists primarily of compensation and other expenses related to R&D personnel; costs associated with preclinical testing and clinical trials of the Group's product candidates, including the costs of manufacturing the product candidates; expenses for research and services rendered under co-development agreements; and facilities expenses. All R&D costs are charged to expense when incurred following the guidance codified in FASB ASC Topic 730, Research and Development.
Payments made to acquire individual R&D assets, including those payments made under licensing agreements, that are deemed to have an alternative future use or are related to proven products are capitalized as intangible assets. Payments made to acquire individual R&D assets that do not have an alternative future use are expensed as R&D costs. R&D costs for services rendered under collaborative agreements are charged to expense when incurred. Reimbursements for R&D activities received from other collaborators are classified as reduction to the Group's R&D expense (see Note 5. Collaborative agreements).
Advertising and promotional costs
The Group expenses the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred and includes those in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and promotional costs were CHF 41.4 m in 2024 and CHF 108.8 m in 2023.
Shipping and handling costs
The Group recognized expenses relating to shipping and handling costs related to the sale of its products in cost of sales.
Legal fees
Legal fees related to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses.
Patents and trademarks
Costs associated with the filing and registration of patents and trademarks are expensed in the period in which they occur and included in S,G&A expenses.
Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation expense is recognized and measured based on the guidance codified in FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Consequently, costs are recognized in earnings over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the options and awards.
The grant date fair value of restricted share units ("RSU") granted under the Restricted Share Plan ("the RSP") and of performance share units ("PSU") granted under the Performance Share Plan ("the PSP") is determined based on the closing share price of the Group's share at the grant date, adjusted for expected dividend distributions and discounted over the requisite service period. The discount rates are derived from Reuters and match the maturity of the expected service period. The dividend yield corresponds to the expected dividend yield over the expected term of the restricted share units granted.

Financial Review
> Consolidated Financial Statements
Holding Company Financial Statements The grant-date fair value of options granted under the Standard Share Option Plans ("the SSOP") is estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model input assumptions are determined based on available internal and external data sources. The closing share price on the date of grant is used for the valuation. The expected term of an option is the remaining time from the grant date until the options are expected to be exercised by the participants. For options where the participants are able to exercise in a set period after vesting, the most relevant historical share option exercise experience from the Group's predecessor is used. The risk-free rate used in the model is based on the rate of interest obtainable from Swiss government bonds over a period commensurate with the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is based on average peer group volatility. The dividend yield is based on the expected dividend yield over the expected term of the options granted. The Group recognizes share-based compensation costs considering actual forfeitures.
Compensation costs for the RSP, for the PSP and the SSOP are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Share-based compensation costs related to employees engaged in the production process are not capitalized as part of inventory due to the immateriality of such cost in the periods presented. Share option exercises are settled out of the conditional capital or with treasury shares, which the Group purchases on the market. Payroll taxes in all jurisdictions are recognized only upon exercise or vesting of the respective share-based compensation awards.
Taxes
The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rules and laws that will be in effect when differences are expected to reverse. The Group performs periodic evaluations of recorded tax assets and liabilities and maintains a valuation allowance if deemed necessary. Uncertain tax positions are evaluated for recognition by determining if the weight of available
evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained in the event of a tax audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The recognized tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as income tax expense.
Unrecognized tax benefits are presented as a reduction to deferred tax assets if they relate to net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards. If the net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards are not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes, or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the Group to use, and the Group does not intend to use, the deferred tax assets for such a purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit is presented as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and is not offset against deferred tax assets. All deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet.
Significant estimates are required in determining income tax expense and benefits. Various internal and external factors may have favorable or unfavorable effects on the future effective tax rate, which would directly impact the Group's financial position or results of operations. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in tax laws, regulations and/or rates, changing interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, future levels of capital expenditures, and changes in overall levels of pre-tax earnings.
Earnings per share ("EPS")
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic EPS are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflect the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities, such as share options, restricted share units or convertible debt, were exercised or converted into common shares or resulted in the issuance of common shares that would participate in net income. Performance share units are considered
with their expected performance condition achievement rate in the calculation of diluted EPS. Basic and diluted EPS exclude common share equivalents that would have had an antidilutive effect. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-19, the Group does not consider any potential common shares in the computation of diluted EPS if there is a loss from continuing operations (see Note 7. Earnings per share).
Dividends
The Group may declare dividends upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors and the approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Under Swiss corporate law, the Holding Company's right to pay dividends may be limited in specific circumstances.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Group considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Short-term deposits
Short-term deposits with contractual maturities greater than three months at inception are separated from cash and cash equivalents and reported in a separate line in the consolidated balance sheet.
Derivative instruments and foreign currency exchange risk
Part of the Group's operations is denominated in foreign currencies, principally in US dollars ("USD"), Euros ("EUR") and British pounds ("GBP"). Exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies may adversely impact the Group's net income and net assets. The Group may use derivatives to partially offset these risks.
The Group records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value as well as gains and losses realized on derivative financial instruments are reported in "Other financial income (expense), net" in the consolidated income statement. The Group determines the fair value of these derivative contracts using an income-based industry standard valuation model which utilizes counterparty information and other observable inputs, including foreign currency spot rates, forward points, and stated maturities.
Contents navigation
Financial Review
> Consolidated Financial Statements
Fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim and the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments recognized at fair value and executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement are not offset. Recognized financial instruments subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Group does not regularly enter into agreements containing embedded derivatives. However, when such agreements are executed, an assessment is made based on the criteria set out in ASC 815 to determine whether the derivative is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a standalone derivative instrument. If the derivative is bifurcated, changes in the fair value of the instrument are reported in "Other financial income (expense), net" in the consolidated income statement.
Fair value measurements
The Group follows the guidance included in FASB Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurements – Level 1, meaning the use of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, meaning the use of quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, meaning the use of unobservable inputs. Observable market data is used when available. When a quoted price in an active market for a liability is not available, the Group uses one of the following approaches: a) quoted prices for identical liabilities when traded as assets; b) quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets; or c) another valuation technique consistent with the principles of ASC 820, such as the price which the Group would pay to transfer (or receive to enter into) an identical liability at the measurement date. The Group does not consider the existence of contractual restrictions that prevent the transfer of a liability when estimating the fair value of a liability. The fair value of own equity instruments is determined from the perspective of a market participant that holds such instruments as assets. Transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period when the respective transaction occurred.
Financial instruments indexed to own shares
The costs of contracts indexed to own shares which meet all of the applicable criteria for equity classification as outlined in FASB ASC Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity are classified in shareholders' equity. The Group applies settlement date accounting for such instruments.
Contract balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the balance sheet. Milestones are billed in accordance with agreedupon contractual terms. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets.
Deferred revenue
For milestone payments accounted for as contract revenue under ASC 808 which require continuing involvement of the Group, part of the revenue is deferred and recognized over a period of time.
Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. In developing the estimate for expected credit losses, trade accounts receivables are segmented into pools of assets depending on market, delinquency status, and customer type (high risk versus low risk and government versus nongovernment). See discussion on concentrations of credit risk in Note 23. Concentrations. The Group does not generally require collateral on receivables.

Financial Review
> Consolidated Financial Statements
Inventories
Inventory costs are determined by the first-in first-out method and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories consist of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. The Group periodically reviews the composition of its inventories in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise unsalable items. If unsalable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Group adjusts inventory to net realizable value.
Prior to receiving new drug approval, the Group expensed inventories (pre-launch inventories). As a result the Group's gross margin percentage is expected to decrease once these inventories are depleted.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Group of assets | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Computers | 3 years |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
| Laboratory equipment | 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 to 10 years |
| Technical installations | 10 to 20 years |
| Buildings | 20 to 40 years |
Depreciation expense is recorded utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets to their estimated residual value. If material, capitalized interest on construction in progress is included in property, plant and equipment.
Leases
The Group determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Group's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments related to leases with a lease term of 12 months or less are recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets with definite lives consist primarily of internally used software and acquired existing licenses, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the respective assets ranging from three to fifteen years. Software licenses included in cloud computing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of three years or the duration of the agreement. The Group develops its own assumptions about renewal or extension options used to determine the amortization period of a recognized intangible asset, consistent with its expected use of the asset. Intangible assets with definite lives are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset are expensed and classified as S,G&A expenses.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Potential indicators of impairment include but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the fair value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used or a significant physical change in an asset, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that affects the value of an asset, an adverse action or assessment by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") or another regulator, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of

Financial Review
> Consolidated Financial Statements
the amount originally expected to acquire or construct an asset, and operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with an income-producing asset. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The cash flow estimates applied in such calculations are based on management's best estimates, using appropriate and customary assumptions and projections at the time of the assessment. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are not depreciated and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Long-term deposits
Long-term deposits with contractual maturities greater than one year at inception are separated from short-term deposits and reported in a separate line in the consolidated balance sheet.
Loss contingencies
The Group records accruals for loss contingencies, asserted or unasserted, to the extent that their occurrence is deemed to be probable, and the related damages are estimable. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Group accrues that amount. If a range of liability is probable and estimable and no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Group accrues the minimum of such probable range. Interest on litigation is accrued on a prospective basis. Litigation claims that the Group might be involved in entail highly complex issues which are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Consequently, the Group cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss in excess of amounts accrued for loss contingencies. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can
rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Group's assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and excessive verdicts do occur.
Convertible debt
The Group accounts for its convertible debt in accordance with the guidance primarily codified in FASB ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options.
Convertible bonds
The Group's outstanding senior unsecured convertible bonds have been recorded as a liability at initial recognition. Debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction from the carrying amount of the convertible bonds in the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized and recognized as additional interest expense over the contractual life of the senior unsecured convertible bonds, using the effective interest method.
Convertible loan
The Group's outstanding convertible loan has been recorded at its nominal amount as a liability.
Pension accounting
The majority of the Group's employees worldwide are covered by defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans or both. The Group accounts for pension assets and liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which requires the recognition of the funded status of pension plans in the Group's balance sheet. The liability in respect to defined benefit pension plans is the projected benefit obligation calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The projected benefit obligation ("PBO") as of December 31 represents the actuarial present value of the estimated future payments required to settle the obligation that is attributable to employee services rendered before that date. Service costs for such pension plans, represented in the net periodic benefit cost, are included in the personnel expenses of the various functions where the employees are engaged. The other components of net benefit

> Consolidated Financial Statements
cost are included in the income statement separately from the service cost component, in "Other financial income (expense), net". Plan assets are recorded at their fair value. Unvested prior service costs arising from retroactive amendments to pension plans are originally reflected in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" ("AOCI") and distributed to income over the employees' remaining service period. Vested prior service costs, including those related to retirees, are immediately recognized in the consolidated income statement. Gains or losses arising from plan curtailments or settlements are accounted for at the time they occur. Any net pension asset is limited to the present value of the future economic benefits available to the Group in the form of refunds from the plan or expected reductions in future contributions to the plan. In interim periods, a net pension asset reflects the Group's prepayments of annual employee and employer plan contributions. Actuarial gains and losses arising from differences between the actual and the expected return on plan assets are recognized in AOCI and amortized over the requisite service period (see Note 18. Pension plans) by applying the corridor approach. For the majority of the defined contribution plans, a portion of the employees' salaries and bonuses is contributed to the plans, and the Group matches the employees' contributions to the plans.
The service cost component is reported in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period (wages/salaries/employee benefits). The other components of net benefit cost are presented in the consolidated income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of operating income (loss).
Comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale debt securities, currency translation adjustments, actuarial gains (losses) and prior service costs resulting from retroactive amendments of defined benefit plans. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are shown net of related taxes where the underlying assets or liabilities are held in jurisdictions that are expected to generate a future tax benefit or liability (see Note 21. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)).
Foreign currencies
The Group follows the guidance included in FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The reporting currency of the Group is the Swiss franc. The functional currency of the Group's subsidiaries is generally the respective local currency.
Income, expense, and cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated into the Group's reporting currency at monthly average exchange rates and the corresponding balance sheets at the periodend exchange rate. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and intercompany foreign currency transactions of a long-term investment nature are recorded in "Foreign currency translation adjustments" ("CTA") in shareholders' equity. Translation gains and losses accumulated in CTA are included in the consolidated income statements when the foreign operation is completely liquidated or sold.
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the subsidiary's income statements in the corresponding period.
Segment information
The Group follows the guidance established in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Group operates in one segment, which primarily focuses on discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative medicines for unmet medical needs (see Note 24. Segment and geographic information).

Note 2. Sale of the Asia Pacific (ex-China) operations
Description of the transaction
On July 20, 2023 Idorsia announced the completion of a transaction with Sosei Group Corporation ("Sosei Heptares") for the sale of Idorsia's Asia Pacific (ex China) operations for a total consideration of approximately CHF 400 m of which CHF 10 m have been paid with the execution of the non-binding termsheet, CHF 386 m were paid on July 21, 2023 and the remaining CHF 3 m were paid in October 2023.
The transaction includes the acquisition by Sosei Heptares of Idorsia's affiliates in Japan and South Korea, the assignment of the license for PIVLAZ (clazosentan) and all intellectual property and know-how for the territory, and a co-exclusive license for daridorexant – further to the agreement in place with Mochida Pharmaceutical (see Note 5. Collaborations). The transaction also includes an option for Sosei Heptares – upon payment of separate option fees – to license lucerastat and cenerimod for development and commercialization in the Asia Pacific (ex China) region.
Idorsia will supply bulk drug product of PIVLAZ and daridorexant to Sosei Heptares. In addition, there will be transition service agreements (TSA) between Idorsia and Sosei Heptares mainly for regulatory/filing activities, clinical development, CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls), and IT.
Idorsia has granted Sosei Heptares a right of first negotiation and right of first refusal on certain pipeline assets for the Asia Pacific (ex-China) region.

Note 3. Revenue recognition
Revenue is primarily recognized from two different types of contracts, revenue from contracts with customers (product sales) and contract revenue from collaborations. Contract revenue recognized from collaborations will include revenue sharing from the collaborations, as well as royalties, upfront and milestone payments received under these types of contracts. See Note 4. Licensing agreements and Note 5. Collaborative agreements for additional information related to the Group's collaborations.
The Group's accruals for sales returns, rebates, and discounts are based on current facts and circumstances. Sales return, rebate and discount liabilities are included in Sales related liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. All sales return, rebate, and discount liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 relate to sales of the Group's products in the US and Europe.
The following represents a roll-forward of the most significant sales return, rebate, and discount liability balances, including managed care, coupon and co-pay programs, Medicare, Medicaid and related state program, chargebacks, discounts and cash discounts:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Sales related liabilities, beginning of the period |
18,189 | 6,010 |
| Sales deductions | 71,696 | 59,093 |
| Cash payments of sales related liabilities | (67,798) | (46,913) |
| Sales related liabilities, end of the period |
22,088 | 18,189 |
Although rebate accruals are recorded at the time the sale is recorded, some specific rebates related to that sale are typically paid up to six months later. Because of this time lag, in any particular period, rebate adjustments may incorporate revisions of accruals for several periods.

Holding Company Financial Statements The increase in sales related liabilities is mainly a result of increased sales in the United States (See Note 24. Segment and geographic information).
The Group currently does not hold any contract liabilities related to product sales which may result from arrangements where the Group would receive payment in advance of performance under a contract with a customer.
For contract liabilities related to contract revenue from collaborations and licensing, see Note 4. Licensing agreements and Note 5. Collaborative agreements.

Note 5. Collaborative agreements
Janssen Biotech Inc. ("Janssen")
In connection with the acquisition of Actelion by Johnson & Johnson ("J&J"), Janssen, an affiliate of J&J, and the Group entered into a collaboration agreement giving Janssen the option to collaborate with the Group to jointly develop and to solely commercialize aprocitentan and any of its derivative compounds or products worldwide.
Janssen opted in for the collaboration agreement by paying a onetime milestone payment of USD 230 m (CHF 227 m) in December 2017. The Group recognized USD 160 m (CHF 158 m) as contract revenue in December 2017, and the remaining USD 70 m (CHF 69 m) was deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis until September 2022.
The Group was in charge of the ongoing development of aprocitentan in the initial indication of resistant hypertension management. Janssen and the Group equally shared the costs relating to the Phase 3 program, the marketing approval applications and the marketing approvals in the initial indication until the reacquisition of the world-wide rights to aprocitentan. In 2023, the cost-sharing reimbursements by Janssen to the Group for the initial indication Phase 3 studies (CHF 3.7 m, net) were recognized as a cost reduction to R&D expenses.
In September 2023 Idorsia reacquired the world-wide rights to approcitentan for a contingent consideration up to a total cap of CHF 306 m, subject to marketing application approval by the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") (cap of CHF 275.5 m related to marketing approval by the US FDA and cap of CHF 30.5 m related to marketing approval by EMA).
Janssen's R&D funding obligations ceased at the effective date of the agreement. Janssen's licenses to aprocitentan IP (excluding pulmonary hypertension) terminated and Janssen transferred the brand name and relating commercial materials to Idorsia. Janssen retained licenses in the pulmonary hypertension field.
No payments were due to Janssen until US FDA or Europe's EMA approval was granted. In March 2024 US FDA and subsequently in June 2024 Europe's EMA granted approval.
After approval, payments will become due to Janssen until the total cap of CHF 306 m is reached based on Idorsia's revenues:
- 30% of any consideration received by Idorsia from a potential out-licensing or divestment of aprocitentan,
- 10% of any consideration received by Idorsia from a potential out-licensing or the divestment of any other Idorsia product, following the first regulatory approval of aprocitentan, and
- low- to mid-single digit royalties on total group product net sales, beginning from the quarter after first aprocitentan regulatory approval
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 Idorsia made payments of CHF 14.8 m (2023: Nil). In addition, CHF 1.8 m are accrued as of December 31, 2024 (2023: Nil). At December 31, 2024, the remaining contingent consideration is CHF 289 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 306 m).

Neurocrine exercised in May 2020 its option to enter into the license and research collaboration with a payment of USD 57 m (CHF 56 m), of which CHF 48 m have been recorded as contract revenue in 2020, and the remaining CHF 7 m was recognized on a straight-line basis from July 2020 until June 2022.
In 2022 Neurocrine opted for the extension of the research period by one year, which triggered an additional payment of USD 3.6 m (CHF 3.4 m) to Idorsia, which was recognized as contract revenue on a straight-line basis from July 2022 until June 2023.
On October 18, 2024, the collaboration and optional licensing agreement was terminated.

On March 15, 2024 Idorsia's global research and development collaboration with Viatris, for the global development and commercialization of selatogrel and cenerimod became effective.
Viatris has worldwide development and commercialization rights for both selatogrel and cenerimod (excluding, Japan, South Korea and certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region for cenerimod only).
Idorsia received an upfront payment of USD 350 m (CHF 308 m) and is entitled to potential development and regulatory milestone payments of up to USD 300 m, and potential sales milestone
payments of up to USD 2,100 m and potential contingent tiered royalties from mid single- to low double-digit percentage on annual net sales.
The Group will contribute up to USD 200 m for the development in the next 3 years and transferred the dedicated personnel to both programs to Viatris at the transaction closing.
In the first quarter 2024, the Group recorded a one-time gain on disposal of CHF 125 m.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 the Group contributed CHF 73 m (USD 83 m).
On February 26, 2025 the Group announced that the conditions of the global development and commercialization collaboration for selatogrel and cenerimod were amended. In exchange for a USD 100 million reduction to Idorsia's R&D contribution to the development costs due in 2025, Idorsia has agreed to a USD 250 million reduction in future potential regulatory and sales milestone payments from Viatris. The remaining R&D contribution due in 2026 amounts to CHF 27 m.
Others
In November 2024, the Group entered into exclusive negotiations with an undisclosed party for the global rights to aprocitentan, resulting in an exclusivity fee payment of USD 35 m (CHF 31.7 m), which was received in December 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Group deferred the USD 35 m exclusivity fee and recorded it in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
The term of the exclusivity ended on February 26, 2025 without an agreement for the global aprocitentan rights. Idorsia does not have any further obligations deriving from the exclusivity agreement and will record the exclusivity fee as contract revenue in the first quarter of 2025.
The Group holds several other collaborative agreements, none of which are material to the Group at this time.

Income taxes payable and accrued as of December 31, 2024, amounted to CHF 0.8 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 0.5 m).
The significant components of the Group's gross deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, are shown in the table below:
| Deferred tax assets | 2024 | 2023 |

| Pension | 206 | 872 | |
| Other temporary differences | 229 | 687 | |
| Total deferred tax liabilities | 30,974 | 24,996 |
The Group has incurred operating losses which may be carried forward and utilized within the coming seven fiscal years. The Group recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets due
to the lack of sufficient positive evidence related to the realization of these deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2024, the gross value of unused tax loss carryforwards, with their expiry dates is as follows:
| Total | |
|---|---|
| One year | 370,856 |
| Two years | 504,331 |
| Three years | 429,847 |
| Four years | 562,787 |
| Five years | 694,104 |
| Six years | 378,225 |
| Seven years | 1,226,921 |
| More than seven years | - |
| Total tax losses | 4,167,071 |
The following table provides a reconciliation between the effective income tax benefit (expense) and the tax expense computed using the net Swiss statutory tax rate of 15.9%. The latter corresponds to a gross tax rate of 18.9%.
| Twelve months ended December 31, | |||

| Other items | (1,739) | (1,127) | |
| Effective income tax benefit (expense) | (434) | (3,668) |
The difference between the "Change in valuation allowance" of CHF 176 m and the movement of "Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets" CHF 167 m is mainly due to difference between current tax rates and future tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled and operating loss carryforwards are expected to be used. The statute of limitations for assessment in the major jurisdiction in which the Group operates is open for the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

| 75,421 |
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Group invested CHF 9.3 m (2023: CHF 9.1 m) in property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2024, Nil of those were unpaid and appropriately excluded from presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows (December 31, 2023: CHF 0.1 m). Depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment was CHF 14.5 m in 2024 (2023: CHF 15.1 m).
In 2024, the Group recorded impairment charges in the amount of CHF 13.9 m (2023: Nil). On 27 November 2024, the Group announced to further streamline the business. The need for an extension of the current HQ campus becomes redundant. As such, two assets with a net book value prior to impairment of CHF 10 m are intended to be disposed of other than by sale (i.e. abandoned). Given the specific nature of the assets, the recoverable amount is deemed to be Nil. Further, as part of the rightsizing initiative, the Group ceased operations in two production units with a net book value prior to impairment of CHF 3.9 m and laid of related employees. Given it's specialised nature, it is highly uncertain if a potential buyer can be identified and the two assets are intended to be disposed of other than by sale (i.e. abandoned). The recoverable amount is deemed to be Nil.

Note 16. Leases
The Group has several noncancelable operating leases for its office space, R&D facilities and equipment of various kinds in Switzerland and on international sites. The Group determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, which is the noncancelable period stated in the contract, adjusted for any options to extend or to terminate when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Right-of-use assets include any prepaid leases and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The leases expire between 2025 and 2038; most leases have options to extend the initial lease period.
The Group does not have material finance leases. As most of the operating leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Group uses a portfolio approach to determine a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the lease liability. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 was CHF 17.7 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 12.5 m).
The following table summarizes other information related to the Group's operating leases at:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted-average remaining lease term | 11.91 years | 11.97 years |

Sale and leaseback transaction:
In 2022 the Group entered into a sale and leaseback agreement for its research and development building at its headquarters. The transaction generated gross proceeds of CHF 164 m (net proceeds after transaction costs: CHF 162 m). The transaction does not qualify as a sale for US GAAP purposes as there is an option to repurchase the building. The assets associated with this transaction remain on the balance sheet within Property, plant and equipment, net and the related liability is recorded under Other financial liabilities.

Note 17. Borrowings
Convertible loan
On June 15, 2017, Cilag Holding AG ("Cilag") provided a loan of CHF 580 m to the Group, which was convertible into ordinary shares of the Group up to an aggregate of 32% of the share capital at the time that the loan was provided. The loan does not carry interest, has a term of 10 years and matures on June 15, 2027.
On June 19, 2017, a first tranche of the convertible loan of CHF 135 m was mandatorily converted and Cilag acquired 11.8 m shares of the Group. These shares were sold by Cilag in a secondary offering on July 8, 2020.
On November 9, 2021, a second tranche of the convertible loan of CHF 110 m was converted and Cilag acquired 9.6 m shares of the Group (representing 5% of the issued shares as of December 31, 2024).
The remaining amount of CHF 335 m outstanding as of December 31, 2024, may be converted into 29.1 m shares of the Group by Cilag (which would result in a total shareholding of 13.4% on a diluted basis, respectively) as follows:
- up to an aggregate shareholding of 16% if another shareholder holds more than 20% of the issued shares of the Group (this condition was fulfilled with Jean-Paul and Martine Clozel owning more than 25% of the Group's issued shares as of December 31, 2024), and
- up to the balance of the remaining amount within 20 business days of the maturity date of the convertible loan. In case of a takeover of the Group, Cilag has the right to convert the convertible loan in full.
At maturity of the convertible loan, if the remaining amount has not yet been converted, the Group may elect to settle the remaining amount in cash or in ordinary shares of the Group. The shares to be issued under the convertible loan will be created from conditional capital and/or the capital range of the Group. The loan is potentially convertible into 29.1 m shares at a conversion price of CHF 11.48, subject to customary antidilution provisions and dividend protection. The carrying amount of the convertible loan as of December 31, 2024 is CHF 335 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 335 m).
Senior unsecured convertible bonds due in 2025
On July 17, 2018, the Group issued CHF 200 m (1,000 bonds with a denomination of CHF 200,000 per bond) of senior unsecured convertible bonds. The bonds were issued at par, with the following terms and conditions at inception.
The bonds have an interest rate of 0.75% per annum (paid annually in arrears) and a conversion price of CHF 33.95, subject to customary antidilution provisions and dividend protection. The bonds had an initial term of six years, maturing on July 17, 2024 with redemption at 100% of the principal amount.
On May 6, 2024, a bondholder meeting was held, where 83.5% of the total outstanding bondholders voted in favour of amendments to the terms of the bonds. The approved bond terms include an amended conversion price of CHF 6.00, extended maturity date of January 17, 2025, and the option to call the bonds at par, in full or in part, at any time upon giving ten trading days' notice. A consent fee of 8,000 shares per Bond was paid to bondholders on September 5, 2024 following the effective date of the amendment of the bonds' terms on August 29th, 2024. In addition, Idorsia committed to use proceeds from divestitures or out-licensing transactions to repay the bonds pursuant to the proposed amended terms.
The bonds are convertible into registered shares of the Group on or after August 27, 2018. In 2024, with the modified terms, the conversion ratio increased from initially 5,891.0162 shares per bond to 33,333.3333 shares per bond. The shares are sourced from the Group's conditional capital. Assuming full conversion, the number of shares to be issued amounts to 33,333,333 registered shares, which
represents 18.5% of the outstanding shares at the effective date of the amendment of the bonds' terms. Before the amendment the number of shares to be issued amounted to 5,891,016 registered shares , which represented 4.5% of the outstanding shares at the time of the issuance of the bonds (i.e. 131,042,140 outstanding shares).
The amended debt obligations with respect to the bonds, which are due subsequent to December 31, 2024, are as follows:
| Payable on | Type of payment | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| January 17, 2025 | Repayment of debt incl. annual interest |
200,750 |
The bonds are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange. As of December 31, 2024, the fair market value of the bonds amounted to 24.0% of the principal amount (Level 1).
The Group accounts for the bonds at amortized cost. The debt issuance costs of CHF 1.7 m are deducted from the liability and are amortized and recognized as additional interest expense over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
As of December 31, 2024, the total book value of the bonds was CHF 200 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 199.8 m). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Group recognized CHF 1.5 m of interest cost (2023: CHF 1.5 m) and CHF 0.2 m (2023: CHF 0.3 m) related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.
On February 25, 2025, a bondholder meeting was held, where 79% of the total outstanding bondholders voted in favour of amendments to the terms of the bonds. The approved bond terms include an amended principal amount of CHF 204,000 per bond, extended maturity date of September 17, 2025 and a waiver of Idorsias' obligation to exercise its call option and to use proceeds from divestitures or out-licensing transactions to repay the bonds before maturity.

Senior unsecured convertible bonds due in 2028
On August 4, 2021, the Group issued CHF 600 m (3,000 bonds with a denomination of CHF 200,000 per bond) of senior unsecured convertible bonds. The bonds were issued at par.
The bonds have an interest rate of 2.125% per annum (paid annually in arrears) and a conversion price of CHF 31.54, subject to customary antidilution provisions and dividend protection.
The bonds have a term of seven years, maturing on August 4, 2028, and will be redeemed at 100% of the principal amount. The Group may redeem the bonds before the maturity date (i) at any time after August 24, 2025, if the volume-weighted average price of the Idorsia share is at least 150% of the prevailing conversion price during a specified period or (ii) if less than 15% in aggregate of the principal amount of the bonds is outstanding. The investors may request redemption of the bonds on the 5th anniversary of the settlement date or upon a change of control and in case of a delisting of shares.
The bonds became convertible into registered shares of the Group on or after September 13, 2021. The conversion ratio is currently 6,341.15409 shares per bond. The shares are sourced from the Group's conditional capital. Assuming full conversion, the number of shares to be issued amounts to 19,023,462 registered shares, which represented 11.4% of the outstanding shares at the time of the issuance of the bonds (i.e. 167,339,231 outstanding shares).
The debt obligations with respect to the bonds, which are due subsequent to December 31, 2024, are as follows:
| Type of payment | ||

Loan from Nxera
On June 15, 2023, Nxera provided a loan of CHF 10 m to the Group, which was either deductible from the consideration for the anticipated sale of the Asia Pacific (ex China) operations or convertible into ordinary shares of the Group on maturity. The loan had an interest rate of 5% per annum. On July 20, 2023, the loan was offset against the consideration due from Nxera for the sale of the Asia Pacific (ex China) operations (see Note 2. Sale of the Asia Pacific (ex-China) operations).
Bridge loan
On June 19, 2023, the Group secured a bridge loan with Jean-Paul Clozel, CEO, Member of the Board of Directors at the time the loan was granted and Idorsia's largest shareholder, which provided for a CHF 75 m line of credit and had an interest rate of 10% per annum. The Group drew down a total of CHF 50 m. In order to secure the bridge loan, the Group pledged 10% of the shares of the fully consolidated Swiss affiliate to Jean-Paul Clozel. On July 21, 2023, the Bridge loan was repaid with the consideration received from Nxera and correspondingly the pledge on the shares of the Swiss affiliate was extinguished.
Royalty monetization
In December 2024, the Group entered into a royalty monetization agreement with R-Bridge (see Note 4. Licensing Agreements). The Group received USD 30 m (CHF 27 m) from R-Bridge in exchange for the rights to receive 100% of the future vamorolone royalties and milestones due from Santhera up to a specified cap. The rights to vamorolone royalties and milestones will be reassigned to the Group, at the earlier of:
- the 10-year anniversary of the closing or
- the date upon which R-Bridge has received payments under the assigned agreement equal to 2.00x the purchase price (i.e. USD 30 m).
Due to the reassignment of the rights to the Group in the future, the transaction qualifies as a failed sale and in accordance with ASC 470, the proceeds are classified as debt.
The proceeds received of USD 30 m (CHF 27 m), net of transaction costs of USD 0.6 m (CHF 0.5 m), were recorded as royalty monetization liability. The aggregate future estimated payments, less the USD 30 m upfront cash net of transaction costs, will be recognised as non-cash interest expense over the life of the agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the estimated effective interest rate under the agreement was 34%. Over the life of the arrangement, the actual effective interest rate will be affected by the amount and the timing of the royalty and milestone payments projected and received by R-Bridge. At each reporting date, the Group will reassess the estimate of total future royalty and milestone payments and if such payments are materially different than prior estimates, the Group will prospectively adjust the imputed interest rate and the related amortization of the royalty obligation. In 2024, the Group recognized non-cash interest expense of CHF 0.2 m.
Non-cash royalty and milestone revenue will be recognized as earned on net sales from the underlying Santhera agreement, and these payments will be recorded as a reduction of the liability when earned. In 2024, the Group recognized non-cash contract revenue of CHF 0.3 m.
As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate royalty monetization obligation of CHF 26.5 m comprises a current portion of CHF 3.4 m and a non-current portion of CHF 23.1 m.

Note 18. Pension plans
Swiss employee pension plan
The Group maintains a pension plan (the "Basic Plan") covering all of its employees in Switzerland. The Basic Plan insures base salary and annual incentives up to an aggregate maximum of CHF 882,000. In addition to retirement benefits, the Basic Plan provides benefits on death or long-term disability of its employees.
The Basic Plan is organized under the legal form of a pension foundation covering all risks associated with the Swiss pension plan. The Group and its employees pay retirement contributions, which are defined as a percentage of the employees' covered salaries. Interest is credited to the employees' accounts at the minimum rate provided for in the Basic Plan. In 2024, the guaranteed interest rate for withdrawal benefits amounts to 1.25% for the mandatory portion and 0.5% for the non-mandatory portion of the contributions paid. Future benefit payments are managed by the insurance company. The Foundation entered into an insurance contract with a third-party insurance company to minimize the risk associated with the pension obligation and as a means to reduce the uncertainty and volatility of the Basic Plan's assets for the Group. Investment strategy and policies of the Foundation are determined by the insurance company. The Foundation Council's decision power in relation to investment strategies and asset allocation is limited to the amount of available unappropriated foundation reserves as determined by Swiss pension law. In 2021 under the Swiss pension scheme, the Group has implemented an additional plan which qualifies as defined contribution plan. The new plan includes the pension contributions on bonus payments for employees with an insured salary of more than CHF 150,000.
The implementation of this new plan led to a settlement under the existing defined benefit plan, releasing CHF 13.6 m from the projected benefit obligation and CHF 13.1 m from the plan assets in 2021. The gain realized is recorded in the other comprehensive income and will be amortized over 10.5 years.
In July 2023 and again in November 2024, the Group announced cost reduction initiatives, which included employees being laid off. This eliminates for a significant number of employees the accrual of defined benefits for their future services. The elimination of the accrual of defined benefits for the future service of the leaving members has been accounted for as a curtailment. Furthermore, the proportionate amount of prior service credit as well as the proportionate amount of settlement credit have been accounted for in the curtailment. The settlement includes the assets/obligation associated to the laid off employees.
The targeted allocation for the unappropriated foundation reserves (if any) is as follows:
| Targeted allocation |
|
|---|---|
| Asset category | Ranges in % |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 0-100% |
| Equity securities Switzerland | 0-30% |
| Equity securities foreign issuers | 0-20% |
| Debt securities in CHF | 0-100% |
| Debt securities in foreign currencies | 0-20% |
| Real estate 1 | 0-30% |
| Alternative investments 2 | 0-100% |
1Investments in foreign countries are limited to a maximum of 33% of the total investments in real estate 2Only receivables and prepayments from insurance companies
The Group uses a measurement date of December 31 for all its pension plans.

Net periodic benefit costs for the Group's defined benefit pension plans include the following components:
| Twelve months ended December 31, |

| Curtailment | - | (3,500) |
| Settlement | - | (1,759) |
| Net periodic benefit cost | 3,274 | 2,452 |
The following table provides the weighted-average assumptions used to calculate net periodic benefit cost, as well as the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations ("PBO") and plan assets as of December 31:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted-average assumptions used in calculation | ||
| Mortality and disability assumptions | BVG 2020 | BVG 2020 |
| Discount rate | 0.90% | 1.50% |
| Salary increase | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Long-term rate of return on assets | 0.90% | 1.50% |
For active plan participants, the projected benefit obligation corresponds to the present value of retirement, survivors', disability, and termination benefits on the measurement date and considers future salary and pension increases as well as service termination probabilities. For retirees, the PBO corresponds to the present value of the current annuity, including future pension increases.
The weighted-average discount rate applied for the calculation of the PBO as at December 31, 2024, is 0.9% (December 31, 2023: 1.50%). A decrease of the discount rate by 0.25% would increase the PBO as at December 31, 2024 by CHF 6.2 m (as at December 31, 2023: CHF 8.6 m).
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets corresponds to the return on benefits expected to be provided under the insurance contract.
The Group's subsidiary in Italy sponsors additional defined benefit pension plan, which is not material to the Group. Pension liability, funded status and net periodic benefit costs of the Italian pension plan is included in the following tables.

The main reason for actuarial losses of CHF 6.2 m in 2024 (2023: CHF 32.3 m) on the projected benefit obligation are due to changes in financial assumptions, mainly a further decrease in the discount rate from 1.50% to 0.9% (2023: a decrease in the discount rate from 2.10% to 1.50%).
As of December 31, 2024, CHF 6.4 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 13.8 m), net of tax, related to the pension plans was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income represent actuarial losses that are not yet amortized.

Certain of the Group's subsidiaries sponsor defined contribution plans with Group's contributions fixed at 2% to 32% of the employee's annual salary or bonus. These plans are structured as a saving schemes without further obligation of the Group. Total expense of these defined contribution plans was CHF 0.9 m for 2024 (2023: CHF 2.7 m).
Significant concentrations of risk and uncertainties. The Group is exposed to a credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the insurance company, which has an S&P rating of A+ with a stable outlook. A portion of this credit risk is mitigated by the BVG Guarantee Fund Foundation ("Sicherheitsfonds"), as stipulated by Swiss pension law. In the event of default of a Swiss pension plan, this institution will cover the minimum benefits mandatorily required by Swiss pension law.
The Group is also exposed to the impact of significant interest rate changes and yields in the context of the current economic environment. If the long-term interest rates were to decrease, this might lead to a significant increase in the PBO and to a significant decrease in both the fair value of the Plans' assets and expected asset returns.

Restricted Stock Plan ("RSP")
Under the RSP, the Group allocates restricted share units ("RSU") of its publicly traded shares to permanent employees in addition to other share-based awards distributed under the various SBPA of the Group. A RSU corresponds to the right to one Group share. RSUs granted under the RSP vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. A graded vesting was applied for the yearly 2024 grant. 40% of the shares subject to the award will vest on December 1, 2025 and 60% on December 1, 2026.
The following assumptions have been applied in the valuation model of the RSUs:

Performance Share Plan ("PSP")
Under the PSP, the Group allocates performance share units ("PSU") of its publicly traded shares to permanent employees in addition to other share-based awards distributed under the various SBPA of the Group. Employees were granted additional 18,238 (2023: 147,315) PSUs matching their first grant explained above. These additional PSUs are based on a performance-driven incentive plan with four performance criteria, which strictly relate to the Group's achievements in the areas of revenues, profitability as well as research and product development success for the years of measurement (one goal for each of the years 2025 and 2026 and two goals for the year 2027). Based on the achievement of the performance conditions, the PSUs will vest prorated and be converted into Group's shares in a range of 0% - 100% in March 2028.

Standard Share Option Plans ("SSOP")
The SSOP comprise the employee share option plan ("ESOP") and the directors' share option plan ("DSOP"). The conditions of the SSOP are regularly reviewed and modified by the Board of Directors for new option grants. Vesting conditions of standard share options granted to employees and directors may differ depending on the timing of option allocation and the results of the Board's review of the SSOP conditions. Standard share options granted to employees under the ESOP generally vest and become exercisable three years after the grant date. Standard share options granted to non-executive Directors under the DSOP vested at the 2018 AGM. None of the options granted under the DSOP are outstanding. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share. Options generally expire ten years after the grant date.

Issuance of new registered shares
On January 6, 2023, Idorsia Ltd issued 10,000,000 new shares from its existing authorized share capital. These shares are held by a subsidiary and are therefore recorded as treasury shares. See section Treasury shares below for further details.
Authorized capital
Until May 4, 2023 Article 3b of Idorsia's Articles of Association defined authorized capital that could be used for purposes of strategic partnering and financing of business transactions at the discretion of the BoD and to exclude or restrict the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders in connection with mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnering or cooperation transactions, research and clinical development programs and other strategic projects of the Group. Pursuant to changes in the Swiss Code of Obligations effective January 1, 2023, authorized capital was replaced by a capital range.
Capital range
As set forth in Article 3b of Idorsia's Articles of Association, the capital range can be used for purposes of strategic partnering and financing of business transactions as well capital reductions. The BoD is authorized to increase or reduce the Group's share capital at any time until May 4, 2028 within a lower limit of CHF 4,688,963.3 and an upper limit of CHF 14,066,889.90, and to exclude or restrict the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders in connection with mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnering or cooperation transactions, research and clinical development programs and other strategic projects of the Group. If the share capital increases as a result of an increase from conditional capital pursuant to Article 3a of Idorsia's Articles of Association, the upper and lower limits of the capital range shall increase in an amount corresponding to such increase in the share capital. In 2024 no increase or reduction took place.

Conditional capital
As set forth in Article 3a of Idorsia's Articles of Association, conditional capital can be used for capital increases upon the exercise of option rights or in connection with similar rights regarding shares granted to officers and employees as well as contractors or consultants at all levels of the Company and its group companies and upon exercise of conversion rights or options in relation to convertible debt instruments, bonds, loans, and similar forms of financing.
The BoD is authorized to increase the Group's share capital at any time. The pre-emptive rights and the advance subscriptions rights of the shareholders are excluded in case of the exercise of option rights or in connection with similar rights regarding shares and the Board of Directors is authorized to exclude or restrict them in connection with the issuance of Financial Instruments by the Company or one of its group companies if (1) there is an important reason pursuant to Article 3b of these Articles of Association, (2) the bonds or similar instruments are issued on appropriate terms, or (3) the conversion rights are used in connection with the issuance of shares for conversions under the convertible loan dated 15 February 2017 (as amended from time to time), granted by Cilag.
Treasury shares
On January 6, 2023, Idorsia Ltd issued 10,000,000 new shares from its existing authorized share capital at CHF 0.05 per share. These shares are initially held as treasury shares and may be used in the future for funding purposes or in exchange for restricted stock units or options rights which vest or are exercised in accordance with the conditions of the Groups' share-based payment plans.
In 2023 the Group used 346,500 treasury shares for a share exchange with Santhera (see Note 9. Financial assets and liabilities for further details about this transaction). The market value per share at the time of the transaction was CHF 14.02.
In 2024 the Group used 604,000 treasury shares in connection with the Viatris Deal. The market value per share at the time of the transaction was CHF 1.82.
In addition, 8,000,000 treasury shares were used to pay the consent fee to bondholders (see Note 17. Borrowings) in early September 2024. The market value per share at the time of the transaction was CHF 1.81.
At December 31, 2024, the Group holds 1,049,500 treasury shares created at CHF 0.05 (December 31, 2023: 9,653,500 treasury shares created at CHF 0.05).

In the ordinary course of business, the Group has entered into certain guarantee contracts and letters of credit in the aggregate amount of CHF 0.8 m.
To date, the Group has not been required to make payments under these contracts and does not expect any potential future payments to be material.
2Actuarial gains (losses) and prior year service costs (benefits) on the Group's defined benefit plans. The amounts disclosed include income tax expenses gross of CHF 1.9 m.
Note 23. Concentrations
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were primarily invested with two financial institutions with an S&P rating of A and higher. As of December 31, 2024 these two holdings total 91% of the Group's cash and cash equivalents. Of the 91%, one financial institution holds 72% and the other holds 19% as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: 86% total, of which one financial institution held 59% and the other held 27%).
The Group could experience credit losses in the event of default or non-performance of these counterparties. Concerning risk mitigation, the Group reviews on an ongoing basis the creditworthiness of counterparties to such contracts. The Group has not experienced to date, and does not expect to incur, any significant losses from failure of counterparties to perform under such agreements.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, one customer in Switzerland accounted for CHF 43 m of total net product sales (December 31, 2023: one customer in Japan accounted for CHF 18 m). At December 31, 2024, CHF 14 m of trade receivables related to a distributor in the United States (December 31, 2023: CHF 12 m). Net assets of operations located in the US amount to CHF 10.8 m at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: CHF 8.9 m). Management believes other distributors could be identified, which would purchase the Group's products on comparable terms; however, the establishment of new distributor relationships could take several months. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of such distributors. Note 24. Segment and geographic information outlines the concentrations in geographic areas where the Group operates.
The Group is dependent upon toll manufacturers to manufacture its commercial products. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, one supplier accounted for approximately 59% of total purchases. Management believes other suppliers could provide similar products and services on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in fulfilment of customer orders and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results. Management believes that the Group maintains sufficient inventory levels to minimize the impact that a change in supplier would have on operating results (for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023: 67%).

Note 26. Restructuring
Cost reduction initiatives
In November 27, 2024, Idorsia announced a rightsizing initiative ("restructuring 2024") reducing the number of active projects in Research & Development.
Consequently, a reduction of up to 270 positions mainly in Research & Development and support functions at headquarters is envisaged. Idorsia is committed to minimizing the number of potential redundancies through natural attrition, retirements, and other such measures.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Group recognized CHF 5.5 m of cost related to the restructuring 2024, of which CHF 5 m are provisioned as of December 31, 2024. The restructuring charges primarily consist of personnel related cost.
On July 21, 2023, Idorsia announced that it has launched a cost reduction initiative ("restructuring 2023") with the target to reduce cash-burn at headquarters by approximately 50%. The reduction of costs became fully effective in 2024. Approximately 470 positions, mainly in Research & Development and the associated support functions were affected.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Group recognized CHF 0.8 m (December 31, 2023: CHF 10.5 m) of cost related to the restructuring 2023, of which Nil are provisioned as of December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: CHF 1.3 m).

Note 27. Subsequent events
The Group has evaluated subsequent events through March 3, 2025, the date these Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued. These events have been disclosed in the respective notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements as well as summarized below.
Exclusive negotiations for the global rights to aprocitentan
On November 27, 2024, the Group entered into exclusive negotiations with an undisclosed party for the global rights to aprocitentan, resulting in an exclusivity fee payment of USD 35 m (CHF 31.7 m), which was received in early December 2024. The term of the exclusivity ended on February 26, 2025 without a signed agreement for the global aprocitentan rights. Idorsia does not have any further obligations deriving from the exclusivity agreement (see Note 5. Collaborations for further details).
Viatris Collaboration
On March 15, 2024 Idorsia's global research and development collaboration with Viatris, for the global development and commercialization of selatogrel and cenerimod became effective. Idorsia received an upfront payment of USD 350 m (CHF 308 m) and is entitled to potential milestone and royalty payments. The Group committed to contribute up to USD 200 m for the development in the next 3 years. As of December 31, 2024 USD 117m were remaining. On February 26, 2025 the Group announced that the conditions of the global development and commercialization collaboration for selatogrel and cenerimod were amended, releasing from Idorsia USD 100m of its remaining R&D commitment. The remaining portion is scheduled to be contributed by Idorsia in 2026 (see Note 5. Collaborations for further details).

Amendments to the terms of the CB2025
On February 25, 2025, a bondholder meeting was held, where 79% of the total outstanding bondholders voted in favor of amendments to the terms of the bonds. The approved bond terms include an amended principal amount of CHF 204,000 per bond, extended maturity date of September 17, 2025 and a waiver of Idorsia's' obligation to exercise its call option and to use proceeds from divestitures or out-licensing transactions to repay the bonds before maturity.
The amendments to the bonds' terms become binding and effective upon approval by the higher cantonal composition authority (obere kantonale Nachlassbehörde) and after an additional waiting period of 30 days during which bondholders could still object to the amendment (see Note 17. Borrowings for further details).
Restructuring of outstanding debt and new funding
On February 26, 2025, the Group announced that it has reached an agreement with more than two-thirds of the holders of its outstanding convertible bond debt to restructure the bonds and raise CHF 150 m of new funding as follows.
As a first step of the restructuring, a bondholders' meeting was held on February 25, 2025, which approved the extension of the maturity of the CB2025 until September 17, 2025, providing the time required for the implementation of the following steps of the restructuring.
In a second step of the restructuring, the group intends to publish invitations to bondholders' meetings to amend the terms of both the CB2025 and CB2028 to, among others, extend the maturity date by 10 years.
In a third step of the restructuring, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be created. Idorsia intends to transfer to this SPV its rights to selatogrel and cenerimod, and its rights to aprocitentan. A bond exchange offer will be launched by the SPV, where the CB2025 and CB2028 bondholders will be offered the opportunity to exchange their convertible bonds for newly created notes issued by the SPV (SPV Notes). For participating in the exchange, bondholders will be entitled to receive (pro rata to their participation in the exchange) up to a total of 8.04 million Idorsia shares and up to a total of 8.04 million Idorsia warrants at a CHF 1.50 strike price, exercisable at any time in the next 24 months.
Any potential net payments for milestones and royalties from selatogrel and cenerimod, as well as any potential net proceeds from a deal for aprocitentan will be used to repay holders of the SPV Notes. Idorsia and SPV will remain fully committed to repay Johnson & Johnson for the return of aprocitentan rights, as applicable. Idorsia's rights to all three products will return to Idorsia once the SPV Notes – principal amount and related interest – have been fully paid.
In addition to the holistic restructuring, Idorsia has agreed to a new money facility of CHF 150 m that will extend Idorsia's cash runway into 2026. This new money facility will be repaid with interest within 24 months and is fully backstopped by a bondholder group who will receive (pro rata to their backstopping participation) a total of 9.0 million Idorsia shares and 8.0 million Idorsia warrants at a CHF 1.50 strike price, exercisable any time before the maturity of the new money facility. Idorsia will also sell 5.0 million Idorsia shares to a bondholder group to cover advisors' fees involved in the restructuring.
All bondholders will also be invited to participate in this fully backstopped new money facility. Those bondholders participating in the new money facility will be entitled to receive (pro rata to their participation in the new money facility) up to a total of 10.5 million Idorsia shares and up to 10.5 million Idorsia warrants at a CHF 1.50 strike price, exercisable any time before the maturity of the new money facility. In addition, bondholders that are providing new money to the company by participating in the new money facility will receive in return (up to a certain amount) SPV Notes which are repaid first.
The company has agreed to the main terms of this holistic restructuring and new money funding with a bondholder group which, together with Jean-Paul Clozel, have entered into binding lock-up agreements. This bondholder group represent more than the required majority – of at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of all convertible bonds outstanding – to validly pass resolutions at the relevant bondholders' meeting. Hence the restructuring of both convertible bonds will be resolved on, subject to the approval by the relevant Court.
As part of the restructuring, 35'000'000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.05 each have been created out of the capital band on March 3, 2025. These shares are initially held as treasury shares and are intended to be used in the future for the restructuring, funding purposes or in exchange for restricted stock units or option rights which vest or are exercised in accordance with the conditions of the Groups' share-based payment plans.

Report of the Statutory Auditor
To the General Meeting of Idorsia Ltd, Allschwil
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Idorsia Ltd and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements (pages 18 to 71) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and comply with Swiss law.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS), Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group, and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit, which include relevant ethical requirements in the United States of America, with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, as well as those of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, as a result of the Group's financial condition and uncertainty related to its bond reorganization and ability to raise new funding, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Board of Directors' evaluation of the events and conditions and their plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
US Pharma "gross to net" revenue adjustments
Key audit matter The Group records revenues from product sales net of discounts and contractual rebates that are estimated at the time of sale as discussed in note 3 (revenue recognition).
As of December 31, 2024, the Group recognized a sales related liabilities provision of CHF 22 million, which primarily related to US sales returns, rebate, and discount liabilities balances, including managed care, Medicare, Medicaid, chargebacks, coupon and copy programs.
Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration elements such as rebates, discounts, chargebacks, that require the use of significant judgments when estimating the impact of these sales deductions on gross sales. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations where knowledge and judgment is required to estimate the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales.
Given the range and complexity of underlying contractual arrangements and the degree of estimation involved, we assessed managements estimates made related to the US Pharma "gross to net" revenue adjustments to be a key audit matter.
How the scope of our audit responded to the key audit matter
We obtained an understanding of management's process and controls related to management's review of sales related liabilities.
We assessed the application of the Group's accounting policy for revenue recognition, including the recognition and measurement of deductions from gross sales relating to sales related liabilities and related disclosures.
We obtained management's calculations for sales related liabilities, recalculated the amounts and validated the assumptions used by reference to internal and external sources, including the terms of the applicable contracts. Additionally, our procedures included reviewing a sample of contracts, testing a sample of payments against sales related liabilities and testing the underlying data used in management's evaluation.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosures included in note 3.
Based on the procedures performed above, we obtained sufficient audit evidence to address the risk of recognition and measurement of sales related liabilities as of December 31, 2024. Contents

Other matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2023 were audited by another statutory auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements on May 20, 2024.
Other Information in the Annual Report
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the financial report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements, the stand-alone financial statements and our auditor's reports thereon, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, and further other information that will be included in the annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Board of Directors' is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the provisions of Swiss law, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued; to disclose, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and to use the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS, Swiss law, and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error, and the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located on EXPERTsuisse's website at: https://www.expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report. This description forms an integral part of our report.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with article 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of consolidated financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.

Notes to the Holding Company Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Idorsia Ltd (the "Company") is the Holding Company of the Idorsia Group (the "Group") and has its registered office at Hegenheimermattweg 91, 4123 Allschwil, Switzerland. The Company does and did not have any employees.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of Idorsia Ltd have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as set out in the Swiss Code of Obligations ("SCO") Art. 957 to 964. All amounts are presented in Swiss francs ("CHF"), unless otherwise indicated. Group companies include all legal entities which are directly or indirectly owned and controlled by the Company. Current account balances due from or payable to such legal entities are presented as other receivables from or other payables to Group companies in the balance sheet.
Substantial doubt / material uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore does not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The financial resources at year-end of 106 million Swiss francs (cash and cash equivalents) do not cover the expected negative cashflows for the next twelve months. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company secured the future of its operations by a set of agreements described below:
- On February 25, 2025, the Company announced that more than the required two-thirds majority of bondholders approved to extend the maturity of the CHF 200 million Convertible Bonds to September 17, 2025. The amendments to the Bond terms will become binding and effective upon approval by the higher cantonal composition authority.
- On February 26, 2025, the Company announced that it has reached an agreement with more than the required two-thirds majority of the 2025 and 2028 bondholders to amend the terms of both the CB2025 and CB2028 to, among others, extend the maturity date by 10 years and to secure a fully backstopped money facility for a net amount of CHF 150 million.
- On February 26, 2025, the Company also announced that it has reached an agreement with Viatris Inc. to reduce by USD 100 million Idorsia's contribution to the development costs due in 2025.

Financial Review
Consolidated Financial Statements
The above agreements are subject to certain closing conditions and decisions from the cantonal composition court. Even though the Company is confident to close these agreements, the Company cannot guarantee that the closing conditions will be reached, or the court decisions will be obtained.
Moreover, the Company's operations have not yet reached profitability as sales from existing approved drugs and other revenues do not cover its operating expenses and will therefore continue to require additional funding.
While management and the Board of Directors continue to evaluate all options to further extend the cash runway, stakeholders should be fully aware the Company may be forced to downsize or even discontinue its operations entirely if the Company is unable to obtain adequate liquidity to fund its operations in the future.
As material uncertainties exist, they cast significant doubts about the going concern of the Company.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
remeasurement of current assets and current liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in financial income and financial expense. Net unrealized gains on noncurrent assets and liabilities are deferred in noncurrent liabilities, and net unrealized losses are recognized in financial expense.
Investments in and loans to Group companies
Investments in and loans to Group companies are valued at cost. The Company reviews the carrying amount of these investments and loans individually on an annual basis and if events and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, a valuation adjustment is recognized in the income statement. The impairment assessment is dependent on the assumptions of cash flow projections used in the impairment tests. Key assumptions are projected sales for the forecast period and the weighted average cost of capital applied.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are deducted from equity at their average acquisition costs and presented as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Gains or losses arising out of transactions with treasury shares are recorded in the income statement. For treasury shares held at Affiliates, the Company builds a treasury shares reserve in equity at the respective acquisition costs.

1 Subsidiary was sold in July 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd was overindebted and the Company provided subordinated loans of CHF 2,540.2 m and recognised accumulated accrued interest of CHF 15.2 m. In 2024 this loan was converted into equity of Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd. As of December 31, 2023, the principal amount of the subordinated loans was CHF 2,525 m. In order to fund the Idorsia Group's operations, Idorsia Ltd grants loans to Idorsia Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The recoverability of the investment and intercompany loans is dependent on the Group's ability to commercialize its products successfully or realise the value of product candidates through outlicensing or other contractual arrangements. In 2024, overindebtedness of one of the Company's subsidiaries triggered the need for impairment assessment. The assessment included the valuation of the Company's subsidiary main assets. As a result, a valuation allowance of CHF 1,014.9 m (December 31, 2023: Nil) was recognised.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company's long term loans to group companies in the amount of CHF 2,597 m gross (CHF 1,582.2 m net of valuation allowance) were converted into equity, which resulted in an increase in investments in group companies and a respective decrease in long term loans to group companies.
On March 18, 2024 Idorsia announced the completion of a transaction with Viatris Inc. for the global development and commercialization of selatogrel and cenerimod.

Convertible Loan
On June 15, 2017, Cilag Holding AG ("Cilag") provided a loan of CHF 580 m to the Group, which was convertible into ordinary shares of the Group up to an aggregate of 32% of the share capital at the time that the loan was provided. The loan does not carry interest, has a term of 10 years and matures on June 15, 2027.
On June 19, 2017, a first tranche of the convertible loan of CHF 135 m was mandatorily converted and Cilag acquired 11.8 m of the shares of the Company. These shares were sold by Cilag in a secondary offering on July 8, 2020.
On November 9, 2021, a second tranche of the convertible loan of CHF 110 m was converted and Cilag acquired 9.6 m shares of the Group (representing 5% of the issued shares as of December 31, 2024).
The remaining amount of CHF 335 m outstanding as of December 31, 2024, may be converted into 29.1 m shares of the Company by Cilag (which would result in a total shareholding of 13.4% on a diluted basis, respectively) as follows:
- up to an aggregate shareholding of 16% if another shareholder holds more than 20% of the issued shares of the Company (this condition was fulfilled with Jean-Paul and Martine Clozel owning more than 25% of the Group's issued shares as of December 31, 2024), and
- up to the balance of the remaining amount within 20 business days of the maturity date of the convertible loan. In case of a takeover of the Company, Cilag has the right to convert the convertible loan in full.
At maturity of the convertible loan, if the remaining amount has not yet been converted, the Company may elect to settle the remaining amount in cash or in ordinary shares of the Company. The shares to be issued under the convertible loan will be created from conditional capital and/or the capital range of the Company.

Note 7. Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 3, 2025, the date these Financial Statements were available to be issued. These events have been disclosed in the respective notes to these Financial Statements as well as summarized below.
Amendments to the terms of the CB2025
On February 25, 2025, a bondholder meeting was held, where 79% of the total outstanding bondholders voted in favor of amendments to the terms of the bonds. The approved bond terms include an amended principal amount of CHF 204,000 per bond, extended maturity date of September 17, 2025 and a waiver of Idorsia's' obligation to exercise its call option and to use proceeds from divestitures or out-licensing transactions to repay the bonds before maturity.
The amendments to the bonds' terms become binding and effective upon approval by the higher cantonal composition authority (obere kantonale Nachlassbehörde) and after an additional waiting period of 30 days during which bondholders could still object to the amendment (see Note 17. Borrowings for further details).
Restructuring of outstanding debt and new funding
On February 26, 2025, the Group announced that it has reached an agreement with more than two-thirds of the holders of its outstanding convertible bond debt to restructure the bonds and raise CHF 150 m of new funding as follows.
As a first step of the restructuring, a bondholders' meeting was held on February 25, 2025, which approved the extension of the maturity of the CB2025 until September 17, 2025, providing the time required for the implementation of the following steps of the restructuring.
In a second step of the restructuring, the group intends to publish invitations to bondholders' meetings to amend the terms of both the CB2025 and CB2028 to, among others, extend the maturity date by 10 years.
In a third step of the restructuring, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be created. Idorsia intends to transfer to this SPV its rights to selatogrel and cenerimod, and its rights to aprocitentan. A bond exchange offer will be launched by the SPV, where the CB2025 and CB2028 bondholders will be offered the opportunity to exchange their convertible bonds for newly created notes issued by the SPV (SPV Notes). For participating in the exchange, bondholders will be entitled to receive (pro rata to their participation in the exchange) up to a total of 8.04 million Idorsia shares and up to a total of 8.04 million Idorsia warrants at a CHF 1.50 strike price, exercisable at any time in the next 24 months.
Any potential net payments for milestones and royalties from selatogrel and cenerimod, as well as any potential net proceeds from a deal for aprocitentan will be used to repay holders of the SPV Notes. Idorsia and SPV will remain fully committed to repay Johnson & Johnson for the return of aprocitentan rights, as applicable. Idorsia's rights to all three products will return to Idorsia once the SPV Notes – principal amount and related interest – have been fully paid.

In addition to the holistic restructuring, Idorsia has agreed to a new money facility of CHF 150 m that will extend Idorsia's cash runway into 2026. This new money facility will be repaid with interest within 24 months and is fully backstopped by a bondholder group who will receive (pro rata to their backstopping participation) a total of 9.0 million Idorsia shares and 8.0 million Idorsia warrants at a CHF 1.50 strike price, exercisable any time before the maturity of the new money facility. Idorsia will also sell 5.0 million Idorsia shares to a bondholder group to cover advisors' fees involved in the restructuring.
All bondholders will also be invited to participate in this fully backstopped new money facility. Those bondholders participating in the new money facility will be entitled to receive (pro rata to their participation in the new money facility) up to a total of 10.5 million Idorsia shares and up to 10.5 million Idorsia warrants at a CHF 1.50 strike price, exercisable any time before the maturity of the new money facility. In addition, bondholders that are providing new money to the company by participating in the new money facility will receive in return (up to a certain amount) SPV Notes which are repaid first.
The company has agreed to the main terms of this holistic restructuring and new money funding with a bondholder group which, together with Jean-Paul Clozel, have entered into binding lock-up agreements. This bondholder group represent more than the required majority – of at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of all convertible bonds outstanding – to validly pass resolutions at the relevant bondholders' meeting. Hence the restructuring of both convertible bonds will be resolved on, subject to the approval by the relevant Court.
As part of the restructuring, 35'000'000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.05 each have been created out of the capital band on March 3, 2025. These shares are initially held as treasury shares and are intended to be used in the future for the restructuring, funding purposes or in exchange for restricted stock units or option rights which vest or are exercised in accordance with the conditions of the Groups' share-based payment plans.

Report of the Statutory Auditor
To the General Meeting of Idorsia Ltd, Allschwil
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Idorsia Ltd (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, the income statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements (pages 77 to 91) comply with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Standards on Auditing (SA-CH). Our responsibilities under those provisions and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Swiss law and the requirements of the Swiss audit profession, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which describes the existence of a material uncertainty which casts significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of investments in subsidiaries
Key Audit Matter The Company holds investments in subsidiaries in the amount of TCHF 1,846,220 as discussed in notes 1 (Summary of significant accounting policies) and 2 (Investments in group companies).
In accordance with Article 960 para. 1, Code of Obligations, each investment held is valued at historical cost less adjustment for impairment and reviewed annually for impairment indicators. Each investment showing impairment indicators is tested for impairment and an impairment is recorded if the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.
The impairment assessment is dependent on the assumptions of cash flow projections used in the impairment tests. Key assumptions are projected sales for the forecast period and the weighted average cost of capital applied.
Given the high level of judgment, complexity, and uncertainty of the estimations, combined with the significance of the above amount to the financial statements as a whole, we assessed management's estimates made related to the valuation of investments in subsidiaries to be a key audit matter.
How the scope of our audit responded to the Key Audit Matter
We obtained an understanding of management's process and controls of the identification of impairment indicators, the review of key assumptions used in the impairment test and the review of the impairment models.
We assessed the application of the Company's accounting policy related to the valuation of investments in subsidiaries.
We independently evaluated whether there are any impairment indicators for the investment in subsidiaries. For an investment for which impairment indicators were identified, we involved valuation specialists to assess the appropriateness of the mathematical integrity and valuation methodology used in the impairment test. We performed procedures for key inputs and assumptions used in impairment tests of an investment in a subsidiary.
We performed analyses over the projected sales used in the cash flow projections during the forecast period and corroborated key valuation elements based on internally and externally available evidence and underlying data. In addition, we performed lookback analyses to assess whether historical revenue forecasts were accurate, where applicable.
We independently determined the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and compared them against management's assumptions, with the support of our valuation specialists.
We evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosures included in notes 1 and 2.
Based on the procedures performed above, we obtained sufficient audit evidence to address the risk of valuation of investments in subsidiaries.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Swiss law and SA-CH will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on EXPERTsuisse's website at: https://www.expertsuisse.ch/en/audit-report. This description forms an integral part of our report.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with Art. 728a para. 1 item 3 CO and PS-CH 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of the financial statements according to the instructions of the Board of Directors.
Based on our audit in accordance with Art. 728a para. 1 item 2 CO, we confirm that the Board of Directors proposal concerning the appropriation of the accumulated loss complies with Swiss law and the Company's articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.
