NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Exelixis, Inc. (Exelixis, we, our or us) is an oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and combination regimens at the forefront of cancer care. Through the commitment of our drug discovery, development and commercialization resources, we have produced four marketed pharmaceutical products, two of which are formulations of our flagship molecule, cabozantinib. We continue to evolve our product portfolio, leveraging our investments, expertise and strategic partnerships to target an expanding range of tumor types and indications with our clinically differentiated pipeline of small molecules, antibody-drug conjugates and other biotherapeutics.
Sales related to cabozantinib account for the majority of our revenues. Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in 67 other countries as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for advanced renal cell carcinoma (both alone and in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company’s OPDIVO® (nivolumab)), for previously treated hepatocellular carcinoma and for previously treated, radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer; and as COMETRIQ® (cabozantinib) capsules for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer. For physicians treating these types of cancer, cabozantinib has become or is becoming an important medicine in their selection of effective therapies.
The other two products resulting from our discovery efforts are: COTELLIC® (cobimetinib), an inhibitor of MEK, approved as part of multiple combination regimens to treat specific forms of advanced melanoma and marketed under a collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (a member of the Roche Group) (Genentech); and MINNEBRO® (esaxerenone), an oral, non-steroidal, selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor, approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan and licensed to Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (Daiichi Sankyo).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Exelixis and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. These entities’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and pursuant to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future period. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2023 (Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K).
We have adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year policy that ends on the Friday closest to December 31st. Fiscal year 2023, which is a 52-week fiscal year, will end on December 29, 2023 and fiscal year 2022, which was a 52-week fiscal year, ended on December 30, 2022. For convenience, references in this report as of and for the fiscal periods ended September 29, 2023, and as of and for the fiscal years ending December 29, 2023 and ended December 30, 2022 are indicated as being as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and the years ending December 31, 2023 and ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

Segment Information
We operate in one business segment that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of new medicines for difficult-to-treat cancers. Our Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision-maker, manages and allocates resources to our operations on a total consolidated basis. Consistent with this decision-making process, our Chief Executive Officer uses consolidated, single-segment financial information for purposes of evaluating performance, forecasting future period financial results, allocating resources and setting incentive targets.
All of our long-lived assets are located in the U.S. See “Note 2. Revenues” for enterprise-wide disclosures about sales of products, revenues from major customers and revenues by geographic region.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not impact previously reported total revenues, income from operations, net income, total assets, total liabilities or total stockholders’ equity.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted by us since our filing of the Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, which could have a significant effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $4.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, in revenues that were included in the beginning deferred revenues balance for those periods.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $41.1 million and $133.0 million, respectively, in revenues for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, as compared to $33.9 million and $125.0 million for the corresponding prior year periods. Such revenues were primarily related to royalty payments allocated to our license performance obligations for our collaborations with Ipsen, Takeda, Daiichi Sankyo and Genentech and the recognition of license revenues for the achievement of certain milestones allocated to the license performance obligations for our collaborations with Ipsen and Takeda.
As of September 30, 2023, $63.8 million of the combined transaction prices for our Ipsen and Takeda collaborations were allocated to research and development services performance obligations that had not yet been satisfied. See “Note 3. Collaboration Agreements and Business Development Activities” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K for additional information about the expected timing to satisfy these performance obligations.
NOTE 3. COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
We have established multiple collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies for the commercialization and further development of our cabozantinib franchise. Additionally, we have made considerable progress under our existing research collaboration and in-licensing arrangements to further enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover, develop and commercialize novel therapies with the goal of providing new treatment options for cancer patients and their physicians. Historically, we also entered into other collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies pursuant to which we out-licensed other compounds and programs in our portfolio.
See “Note 3. Collaboration Agreements and Business Development Activities” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, as further described below, for additional information on certain of our collaboration agreements and in-licensing arrangements.
Cabozantinib Commercial Collaborations
Ipsen Collaboration
In February 2016, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration and license agreement, as amended, Ipsen received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications outside of the U.S. and Japan. We have also agreed to collaborate with Ipsen on the development of cabozantinib for current and potential future indications. The parties’ efforts are governed through a joint steering committee and appropriate subcommittees established to guide and oversee the collaboration’s operation and strategic direction; provided, however, that we retain final decision-making authority with respect to cabozantinib’s ongoing development.

Takeda Collaboration
In January 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Takeda for the commercialization and further development of cabozantinib. Under the collaboration and license agreement, as amended, Takeda received exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications in Japan, and the parties have agreed to collaborate on the clinical development of cabozantinib in Japan. The operation and strategic direction of the parties’ collaboration is governed through a joint executive committee and appropriate subcommittees.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $0.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively, in revenues in connection with a commercial milestone of $11.0 million from Takeda upon their achievement of $150.0 million of cumulative net sales of cabozantinib in Japan.
As of September 30, 2023, $31.6 million of the transaction price for this collaboration and license agreement, as amended, was allocated to our research and development services performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied.
Royalty Pharma
In October 2002, we established a product development and commercialization collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), that required us to pay a 3% royalty to GSK on the worldwide net sales of any product incorporating cabozantinib sold by us and our collaboration partners. Effective January 1, 2021, Royalty Pharma plc (Royalty Pharma) acquired from GSK all rights, title and interest in royalties on net product sales containing cabozantinib for non-U.S. markets for the full term of the royalty and for the U.S. market through September 2026, after which time U.S. royalties will revert back to GSK. Royalty fees earned by Royalty Pharma in connection with our sales of cabozantinib are included in cost of goods sold and as a reduction of collaboration services revenues for sales by our collaboration partners. Such royalty fees earned by Royalty Pharma were $17.5 million and $50.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $14.9 million and $42.6 million for the corresponding prior year periods.

Research Collaborations, In-Licensing Arrangements and Other Business Development Activities
We enter into collaborative arrangements with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies to develop and commercialize drug candidates or intellectual property. Our research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements are intended to enhance our early-stage pipeline and expand our ability to discover, develop and commercialize novel therapies with the goal of providing new treatment options for cancer patients and their physicians. Our research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions generally include upfront payments for the purchase or in-licensing of intellectual property, development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, and royalty payments, in each case contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Certain of our research collaborations provide us exclusive options that give us the right to license programs or acquire the intellectual property developed under the research collaborations for further discovery and development. When we decide to exercise the options, we are required to pay an exercise fee and then assume the responsibilities for all subsequent development, manufacturing and commercialization.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $103.5 million and $165.0 million, respectively, within research and development expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, primarily related to upfront payments for the purchase or in-licensing of intellectual property and development milestone payments related to costs of intellectual property that have not yet achieved technological feasibility, research and development funding and other fees.
In September 2023, we entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Insilico Medicine US Inc. and its parent company, Insilico Medicine Hong Kong Limited, along with certain other affiliated entities (individually and collectively referred to as Insilico). Under the terms of the agreement, we made an upfront payment of $80.0 million to obtain an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize XL309 (formerly ISM3091), and other USP1-targeting compounds which was recognized as research and development expenses as noted above given the intellectual property has not yet achieved technological feasibility. Insilico is eligible to receive up to $100.0 million upon achievement of potential future development milestones and up to $775.0 million upon achievement of commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties on future net sales of products.
As of September 30, 2023, in conjunction with these collaborative in-licensing arrangements and asset purchase agreements, we are subject to potential future development milestone payments of up to $774.0 million, regulatory milestone payments of up to $615.2 million and commercial milestone payments of up to $3.9 billion, each in the aggregate per product or target, as well as royalties on future net sales of products.

As of December 31, 2022, $1.5 million in certificates of deposit were used to collateralize letters of credit agreements and were classified as other long-term assets based upon the remaining term of the underlying restriction.
Interest receivable was $12.1 million and $7.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments were immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
We manage credit risk associated with our investment portfolio through our investment policy, which limits purchases to high-quality issuers and the amount of our portfolio that can be invested in a single issuer.

There were 350 and 285 debt securities available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, all securities had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months except for 135 debt securities available-for-sale with an aggregate fair value of $468.0 million and an aggregate $10.6 million unrealized loss. As of December 31, 2022, all securities had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months except for 81 debt securities available-for-sale with an aggregate fair value of $237.6 million and an aggregate $6.1 million unrealized loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we did not record an allowance for credit losses or other impairment charges on our investment securities. Based upon our quarterly impairment review, we determined that the unrealized losses were not attributed to credit risk but were primarily associated with changes in interest rates and market liquidity. Based on the scheduled maturities of our investments, we determined that it was more likely than not that we will hold these investments for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of our cost basis.

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value reflects the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy has the following three levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or on industry models using data inputs, such as interest rates and prices that can be directly observed or corroborated in active markets; and
Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The classifications within the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

When available, we value investments based on quoted prices for those financial instruments, which is a Level 1 input. Our remaining investments are valued using third-party pricing sources, which use observable market prices, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals for similar assets as observable inputs for pricing, which is a Level 2 input.
The carrying amount of our remaining financial assets and liabilities, which include receivables and payables, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
We have entered into forward contracts to hedge certain operational exposures for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.
As of September 30, 2023, we had one forward contract outstanding to sell €3.9 million. The forward contract with a maturity of three months is recorded at fair value and is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized loss on the forward contract is immaterial as of September 30, 2023. The forward contract is considered a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of our fair value measurements. The net realized gains we recognized on the maturity of forward contracts were immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $1.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on our forward contracts are included in other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stock-based Compensation
We have several equity incentive plans under which we granted stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), including performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs), to employees and directors. As of September 30, 2023, 28,107,770 shares were available for grant under the Exelixis, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the 2017 Plan). The share reserve is reduced by 1 share for each share issued pursuant to a stock option and 2 shares for full value awards, including RSUs and PSUs.
We allocated the stock-based compensation expense for our equity incentive plans and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total stock-based compensation expense$40,478 $37,337 $82,039 $81,718 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 357,233 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $20.41 per share and a weighted average grant date fair value of $9.45 per share. Stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 have vesting conditions and contractual lives of a similar nature to those described in “Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2023, there were 8,537,173 stock options outstanding and $11.8 million of related unrecognized compensation expense.
In April 2023, we awarded to certain employees an aggregate of 849,866 RSUs (the target amount) that are subject to a total shareholder return (TSR) market condition (the 2023 TSR-based RSUs). The TSR market condition is based on our relative TSR percentile rank compared to companies in the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index during the performance period, which is December 31, 2022 through January 2, 2026. Depending on the results relative to the TSR market condition, the holders of the 2023 TSR-based RSUs may earn up to 175% of the target amount of shares. 50% of the shares earned pursuant to the 2023 TSR-based RSU awards will vest at the end of the performance period, and the remainder will vest approximately one year later, subject to an employee’s continuous service. These 2023 TSR-based RSUs will be forfeited if the market condition at or above a threshold level is not achieved at the end of the performance period on January 2, 2026.

Table of Contents
We used a Monte Carlo simulation model and the following assumptions to determine the grant date fair value of $26.05 per share for the 2023 TSR-based RSUs:
Fair value of Exelixis common stock on grant date
$19.48 
Expected volatility
40.26 %
Risk-free interest rate
3.75 %
Dividend yield
 %
The Monte Carlo simulation model assumed correlations of returns of the stock prices of the Company’s common stock and the common stock of a peer group of companies and historical stock price volatility of the peer group of companies. The valuation model also used terms based on the length of the performance period and compound annual growth rate goals for TSR based on the provisions of the award.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 2,879,109 service-based RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.41 per share. As of September 30, 2023, there were 12,229,658 RSUs outstanding, including RSUs that are subject to a TSR market condition, and $181.7 million of related unrecognized compensation expense. Service-based RSUs granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 have vesting conditions and contractual lives of a similar nature to those described in “Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2023, there were 3,931,231 PSUs outstanding, of which 1,489,209 PSUs relate to awards that we either achieved the performance goal or determined that attainment of the performance goal was probable. Expense recognition for PSUs commences when it is determined that attainment of the performance goal is probable. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we achieved certain performance conditions for 912,881 PSUs granted during 2020 (the 2020 PSUs) and recognized $18.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2020 PSUs. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the PSUs that were either achieved or deemed probable of achievement was $8.1 million. The total unrecognized compensation expense for the PSUs for which we have not yet determined that attainment of the performance goal is probable was $54.0 million. For more information about our PSUs, see “Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
Common Stock Repurchases
In March 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $550 million of our outstanding common stock before the end of 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 16,943,230 shares of common stock under our stock repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $344.8 million. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $205.2 million remained available for future stock repurchases before the end of 2023, pursuant to our stock repurchase program.
The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, in block trades, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, 10b5-1 trading plans, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. The program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
NOTE 8. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were 82.1% and 20.9% respectively, as compared to 20.5% and 20.1% for the corresponding periods in 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible executive compensation and the branded prescription drug fee, partially offset by the generation of federal tax credits. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the generation of federal tax credits, partially offset by non-deductible executive compensation and state taxes. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to excess tax benefits related to the exercise of certain stock options during the periods and the generation of federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes.

Legal Proceedings
MSN I ANDA Litigation
In September 2019, we received a notice letter regarding an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) submitted to the FDA by MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (individually and collectively with certain of its affiliates, including MSN Laboratories Private Limited, referred to as MSN), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN’s initial notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment) and 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), which are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also referred to as the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. MSN’s initial notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 (composition of matter) or 8,497,284 (methods of treatment), each of which is listed in the Orange Book. On October 29, 2019, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court) for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 arising from MSN’s ANDA filing with the FDA. On November 20, 2019, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 are invalid and not infringed. On May 5, 2020, we received notice from MSN that it had amended its ANDA to include additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the May 5, 2020 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of two previously unasserted CABOMETYX patents: U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284. On May 11, 2020, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284 arising from MSN’s amended ANDA filing with the FDA. Neither of our complaints have alleged infringement of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873 and 10,039,757. On May 22, 2020, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284 are invalid and not infringed. On March 23, 2021, MSN filed its First Amended Answer and Counterclaims (amending its prior filing from May 22, 2020), seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 (salt and polymorphic forms) is invalid and would not be infringed by MSN if its generic version of CABOMETYX tablets were approved by the FDA. U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 is not listed in the Orange Book. On April 7, 2021, we filed our response to MSN’s First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, denying, among other things, that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 is invalid or would not be infringed. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN I), numbered Civil Action Nos. 19-02017 and 20-00633, were consolidated in April 2021.
On October 1, 2021, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN’s submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN’s commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN’s ANDA product prior to the expiration of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284 would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. Then, on October 12, 2021, pursuant to a separate stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order dismissing MSN’s counterclaims with respect to U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549. In our MSN I complaints, we sought, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473, 8,497,284 and 8,877,776, the latest of which expires on October 8, 2030, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. In an effort to streamline the case, the parties narrowed their assertions. On April 8, 2022, MSN withdrew its validity challenge to U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776. On April 14, 2022, we agreed not to assert U.S. Patent No. 8,497,284 at trial and MSN, correspondingly, agreed to withdraw its validity challenges to U.S. Patent No. 8,497,284, as well as claims 1-4 and 6-7 of U.S. Patent No. 7,579,473. As a result of this narrowing, the trial addressed two issues: (1) infringement of claim 1 of the U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776; and (2) validity of claim 5 of the U.S. Patent No. 7,579,473. A bench trial for MSN I occurred in May 2022, and on January 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN’s invalidity challenge to U.S. Patent No. 7,759,473. The Delaware District Court also ruled that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 and entered judgment that the effective date of any final FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA shall not be a date earlier than August 14, 2026, the expiration date of U.S. Patent No. 7,759,473. Final judgment was entered on January 30, 2023. This ruling in MSN I does not impact our separate and ongoing MSN II lawsuit (as defined below).

MSN II ANDA Litigation
On January 11, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the January 11, 2022 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of three previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patents that are now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition) and 11,098,015 (methods of treatment). On February 23, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On February 25, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 are invalid and not infringed. On June 7, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As currently amended, MSN’s ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). On July 18, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 9, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 are invalid and not infringed and amended its challenges to U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 to allege that these patents are not enforceable based on equitable grounds. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN II), numbered Civil Action Nos. 22-00228 and 22-00945, were consolidated in October 2022 and involve Exelixis patents that are different from those asserted in the MSN I litigation described above.
On June 21, 2022, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN’s submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN’s commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN’s ANDA product prior to the expiration of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. In our MSN II complaints, we are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. On September 28, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties’ stipulation of dismissal of MSN’s equitable defenses and counterclaims. A bench trial occurred in October 2023, and a judgment is expected during the first half of 2024.
Teva ANDA Litigation
In May 2021, we received notice letters from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, Teva Pharmaceuticals Development, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (individually and collectively referred to as Teva) regarding an ANDA Teva submitted to the FDA, requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Teva’s notice letters included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment) and 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), which are listed in the Orange Book. Teva’s notice letters did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against any additional CABOMETYX patents. On June 17, 2021, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Teva asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873 and 10,039,757 arising from Teva’s ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 27, 2021, Teva filed its answer and counterclaims to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873 and 10,039,757 are invalid and not infringed. On September 17, 2021, we filed an answer to Teva’s counterclaims. On July 29, 2022, we received notice from Teva that it had amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As amended, Teva’s ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). On September 2, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Teva, asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 arising from Teva’s amended ANDA filing with the FDA. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873, 10,039,757 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on July 9, 2033, and equitable relief enjoining Teva from infringing these patents. On September 30, 2022, the parties filed a stipulation to consolidate the two lawsuits, numbered Civil Action Nos. 21-00871 and 22-01168, and to stay all proceedings, which was granted by the Delaware District Court on October 3, 2022. Following a similar order granted by the Delaware District Court on February 9, 2022 to stay all proceedings with respect to Civil Action No. 21-00871, this case remained administratively closed, and Civil Action No. 22-01168 was administratively closed on October 3, 2022. On July 18, 2023, we

entered into a settlement and license agreement (the Teva Settlement Agreement) with Teva to end these litigations. Pursuant to the terms of the Teva Settlement Agreement, we will grant Teva a license to market its generic version of CABOMETYX in the U.S. beginning on January 1, 2031, if approved by the FDA and subject to conditions and exceptions common to agreements of this type. On September 15, 2023, the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal with the Delaware District Court, and on September 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties’ stipulation and dismissed the case without prejudice.
Cipla ANDA Litigation
On February 6, 2023, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Cipla, Ltd. and Cipla USA, Inc. (individually and collectively referred to as Cipla), including a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition), 11,098,015 (methods of treatment) and 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). Cipla’s notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against any additional CABOMETYX patents. On March 16, 2023, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Cipla asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349 arising from Cipla’s ANDA filing with the FDA. Cipla’s ANDA requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to the expiration of the aforementioned patents. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Cipla’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining Cipla from infringing these patents. On May 4, 2023, we filed, under seal, a stipulation and proposed order to stay all proceedings, and the Delaware District Court, in a sealed order on the same day, granted the proposed order and administratively closed the case. On May 5, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a redacted version of the May 4, 2023 order.
The sale of any generic version of CABOMETYX earlier than its patent expiration could significantly decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. It is not possible at this time to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate of the amount or range of any potential loss.
We may also from time to time become a party or subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings have involved, and may involve in the future, claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages.

Overview
We are an oncology company innovating next-generation medicines and combination regimens at the forefront of cancer care. Through the commitment of our drug discovery, development and commercialization resources, we have produced four marketed pharmaceutical products, two of which are formulations of our flagship molecule, cabozantinib. We continue to evolve our product portfolio, leveraging our investments, expertise and strategic partnerships to target an expanding range of tumor types and indications with our clinically differentiated pipeline of small molecules, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and other biotherapeutics.
Sales related to cabozantinib account for the majority of our revenues. Cabozantinib is an inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including MET, AXL, VEGF receptors and RET and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in 67 other countries as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: as CABOMETYX® (cabozantinib) tablets for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (both alone and in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company’s (BMS) OPDIVO® (nivolumab)), for previously treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and for previously treated, radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC); and as COMETRIQ® (cabozantinib) capsules for progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer. For physicians treating these types of cancer, cabozantinib has become or is becoming an important medicine in their selection of effective therapies.
The other two products resulting from our discovery efforts are: COTELLIC® (cobimetinib), an inhibitor of MEK, approved as part of multiple combination regimens to treat specific forms of advanced melanoma and marketed under a collaboration with Genentech, Inc. (a member of the Roche Group) (Genentech); and MINNEBRO® (esaxerenone), an oral, non-steroidal, selective blocker of the mineralocorticoid receptor, approved for the treatment of hypertension in Japan and licensed to Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited.
We plan to continue leveraging our operating cash flows to support the ongoing investigation of cabozantinib in phase 3 trials for new indications and the advancement of a broad array of diverse biotherapeutics and small molecule programs for the treatment of cancer exploring multiple modalities and mechanisms of action. Of the clinical-stage assets that have emerged from our drug discovery and preclinical activities thus far, the furthest along are zanzalintinib, a next-generation oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), and XB002, an ADC that targets tissue factor (TF). Both of these assets are next-generation approaches that build on prior clinical experience, which we believe reduces program risk. We are also focused on conserving capital and managing risks of clinical failure by in-licensing or securing options to acquire other investigational drug candidates from third parties if those assets demonstrate evidence of clinical success. Recent examples of this approach are: CBX-12 (alphalexTM exatecan), a clinical-stage, first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) invented by Cybrexa Therapeutics (Cybrexa) that utilizes Cybrexa’s proprietary alphalex technology to enhance the delivery of exatecan, a highly potent, second-generation topoisomerase I inhibitor, to tumor cells; ADU-1805, a clinical-stage and potentially best-in-class monoclonal antibody developed by Sairopa B.V. (Sairopa) that targets SIRPα; and XL309 (formerly ISM3091), a potentially best-in-class small molecule inhibitor of USP1 in-licensed from Insilico (as defined below) that has potentially broad applicability in BRCA-mutant tumors.
Cabozantinib Franchise
The FDA first approved CABOMETYX in the U.S. as a monotherapy for previously treated patients with advanced RCC in April 2016, and then for previously untreated patients with advanced RCC in December 2017. In January 2021, the CABOMETYX label was expanded to include first-line advanced RCC in combination with OPDIVO, which was the first CABOMETYX regimen approved for treatment in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). In addition to RCC, in January 2019, the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of patients with HCC previously treated with sorafenib, and then in September 2021, the FDA approved CABOMETYX for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with locally advanced or metastatic DTC that has progressed following prior VEGF receptor-targeted therapy and who are RAI-refractory or ineligible.

To develop and commercialize CABOMETYX and COMETRIQ outside the U.S., we have entered into license agreements with Ipsen Pharma SAS (Ipsen) and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda). To Ipsen, we granted the rights to develop and commercialize cabozantinib outside of the U.S. and Japan, and to Takeda we granted such rights in Japan. Both Ipsen and Takeda also contribute financially and operationally to the further global development and commercialization of the cabozantinib franchise in other potential indications, and we work closely with them on these activities. Utilizing its regulatory expertise and established international oncology marketing network, Ipsen has continued to execute on its commercialization plans for CABOMETYX, having received regulatory approvals and launched in multiple territories outside of the U.S., including in the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom and Canada, as a treatment for advanced RCC and for HCC in adults who have previously been treated with sorafenib. In addition, in March 2021, Ipsen and BMS received regulatory approval from the European Commission (EC) for CABOMETYX in combination with OPDIVO as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced RCC, followed by additional regulatory approvals for the combination in other territories beyond the EU. In May 2022, we announced that Ipsen received regulatory approval from the EC for CABOMETYX as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic, RAI-refractory or ineligible DTC and who have progressed during or after prior systemic therapy, which followed an approval from Health Canada in April 2022 for a similar DTC indication. With respect to the Japanese market, Takeda received Manufacturing and Marketing Approvals in 2020 from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) of CABOMETYX as a treatment of patients with curatively unresectable or metastatic RCC and as a treatment of patients with unresectable HCC who progressed after cancer chemotherapy. In August 2021, Takeda and Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., BMS’ development and commercialization partner in Japan, received Manufacturing and Marketing Approval from the MHLW of CABOMETYX in combination with OPDIVO as a treatment for unresectable or metastatic RCC.
We are also pursuing other indications for cabozantinib that have the potential to increase the number of cancer patients who could potentially benefit from this medicine. Building on preclinical and clinical observations that cabozantinib in combination with ICIs may promote a more immune-permissive tumor environment, we initiated several pivotal studies to further explore these combination regimens. The first of these studies to deliver results was CheckMate -9ER, a phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating the combination of CABOMETYX and OPDIVO compared to sunitinib in previously untreated, advanced or metastatic RCC. Positive results from CheckMate -9ER served as the basis for the FDA’s, EC’s and MHLW’s approvals of CABOMETYX in combination with OPDIVO as a first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC in January 2021, March 2021 and August 2021, respectively. We are also collaborating with BMS on COSMIC-313, a phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating the triplet combination of cabozantinib, nivolumab and BMS’ CTLA-4 ICI, ipilimumab, versus the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with previously untreated advanced intermediate- or poor-risk RCC. We announced top-line results from COSMIC-313 in July 2022, and in September 2022 we presented the data at the Presidential Symposium III at the 2022 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. The trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating significant improvement in blinded independent radiology committee (BIRC)-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) at the primary analysis for the triplet combination. At two prespecified interim analyses for the secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS), conducted most recently during the third quarter of 2023, the data did not meet the threshold for statistical significance; therefore, the trial will continue to the next planned analysis of OS, anticipated in 2024. The safety profile observed in the trial was reflective of the known safety profiles for each single agent, as well as the combination regimens used in this study. We plan to discuss a potential regulatory submission with the FDA when the results of the next OS analysis are available, provided such results are supportive.
To further expand our exploration of combinations with ICIs, we also initiated multiple trials evaluating cabozantinib in combination with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. (Roche)’s ICI, atezolizumab, beginning in 2017 with COSMIC-021, a broad phase 1b study evaluating the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab in patients with a wide variety of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The encouraging efficacy and safety data that emerged from COSMIC-021 have been instrumental in guiding our clinical development strategy for cabozantinib in combination with ICIs. In August 2023, we announced positive top-line results from CONTACT-02, a phase 3 pivotal trial sponsored by us and co-funded by Roche, evaluating the cabozantinib and atezolizumab combination in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been previously treated with one novel hormonal therapy (NHT). The trial met one of two primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in PFS. At a prespecified interim analysis for the primary endpoint of OS, a trend toward improvement of OS was observed; however, the data were immature and did not meet the threshold for statistical significance. Therefore, the trial will continue to the next OS analysis as planned. The safety profile observed in the trial was reflective of the known safety profiles for each single agent, as well as the combination regimen used in this study. Based on feedback from the FDA, we will discuss a potential regulatory submission when the results of the next OS analysis are available. Detailed findings will be presented at a future medical meeting.

Beyond clinical trials that we or our collaboration partners sponsor, independent investigators also conduct trials evaluating cabozantinib through our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (NCI-CTEP) or our investigator-sponsored trial (IST) program. Over time, the data we have obtained from these externally sponsored clinical trials have helped advance our development program for the cabozantinib franchise by informing subsequent label-enabling trials, including COSMIC-311, our phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating cabozantinib in previously treated patients with RAI-refractory DTC, from which positive results served as the basis for the FDA’s and EC’s approvals of CABOMETYX for DTC. Most recently, we announced positive results from the CABINET phase 3 pivotal study, which is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute under our CRADA and conducted by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (The Alliance). In this study, the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) unanimously recommended stopping enrollment and unblinding all patients due to dramatic improvements in PFS observed at an interim analysis. CABINET evaluated cabozantinib versus placebo in patients who experienced progression after prior systemic therapy in two independently powered cohorts: one for patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET); and another for patients with extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET; historically referred to as carcinoid tumors). Data from CABINET demonstrated that cabozantinib substantially prolonged the time without disease progression or death in both pNET and epNET cohorts, and that the safety profile of cabozantinib observed in the trial was consistent with its known safety profile. Detailed findings from CABINET were accepted as a late-breaker abstract and presented during a Proffered Paper Session at the ESMO Congress on October 22, 2023. The median PFS based on local review for patients who received cabozantinib was 11.4 months for pNET and 8.3 months for epNET, compared to 3.0 months and 3.2 months, respectively, for patients who received placebo, and we plan to discuss these results with the FDA. In addition to facilitating label expansion for the cabozantinib franchise, data sets from these externally sponsored clinical trials may also prove valuable by informing our development plans for zanzalintinib.
Pipeline Activities
Zanzalintinib
The first compound to enter the clinic following our re-initiation of drug discovery activities in 2017 was zanzalintinib, a next-generation oral TKI that targets VEGF receptors, MET, AXL, MER and other kinases implicated in cancer’s growth and spread. In designing zanzalintinib, we sought to build upon our experience with cabozantinib, retaining a similar target profile while improving key characteristics, including the pharmacokinetic half-life. To date, we have initiated two large phase 1b/2 clinical trials studying zanzalintinib as monotherapy and in combination with ICIs (STELLAR-001 and STELLAR-002), as well as two phase 3 pivotal trials evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with ICIs (STELLAR-303 and STELLAR-304). STELLAR-001 is a phase 1b clinical trial evaluating zanzalintinib, both as a monotherapy and in combination with atezolizumab. We have established the recommended dose of 100 mg for both single-agent zanzalintinib and zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab, and we have completed enrollment in expansion cohorts for patients with clear cell RCC, non-clear cell RCC, mCRPC, colorectal cancer (CRC) and hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. We previously presented data from STELLAR-001 during poster sessions at the 2022 ESMO Congress in September 2022, which showed preliminary clinical activity similar to that observed with cabozantinib in phase 1 across a range of solid tumors and dose levels, with a manageable safety profile. In addition, data from the clear cell RCC expansion cohort of 32 previously treated patients will be presented at the International Kidney Cancer Symposium in November 2023. We continue to be encouraged by zanzalintinib’s emerging safety and efficacy profile. STELLAR-002 is a phase 1b clinical trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with either nivolumab, nivolumab and ipilimumab, or a fixed-dose combination of nivolumab and BMS’ relatlimab. We have established recommended doses for these zanzalintinib combination regimens for use in a diverse array of expansion cohorts that may include clear cell and non-clear cell RCC, HCC, NSCLC, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma, mCRPC and CRC, and patient enrollment into these expansion cohorts is ongoing. To better understand the individual contribution of the therapies, treatment arms in the expansion cohorts may include zanzalintinib as a single agent in addition to the ICI combination regimens.
We initiated two phase 3 pivotal trials evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with ICIs in 2022. The first trial, STELLAR-303, was initiated in June 2022 and is evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab versus regorafenib in patients with metastatic non-microsatellite instability-high or non-mismatch repair-deficient CRC who have progressed after or are intolerant to the current standard of care. The trial aims to enroll approximately 874 patients worldwide, regardless of RAS status, with approximately 350 of these patients showing no evidence of liver metastases. Under the amended trial protocol, the primary efficacy endpoint of STELLAR-303 is OS in those patients without liver metastases, and the key secondary efficacy endpoint is OS in the full intent-to-treat population. Additional secondary endpoints include PFS and ORR per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v. 1.1, in each case as assessed by the investigator. The second trial, STELLAR-304, was initiated in December 2022 and is evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with nivolumab versus sunitinib in previously untreated patients with advanced non-clear cell RCC. The trial aims to enroll approximately
26

Table of Contents
291 patients at approximately 173 sites globally. The primary efficacy endpoints of STELLAR-304 are PFS and ORR per RECIST v 1.1, in each case as assessed by BIRC. The secondary efficacy endpoint is OS. Beyond STELLAR-303 and STELLAR-304, we intend to initiate additional phase 3 trials and explore a series of early-stage and pivotal trials evaluating zanzalintinib in novel combination regimens across a broad array of future potential indications, including STELLAR-305, a planned phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with Merck & Co., Inc.’s ICI, pembrolizumab, in patients with previously untreated, PD-L1 positive, recurrent or metastatic SCCHN.
Biotherapeutics
Much of our drug discovery activity focuses on discovering and advancing various biotherapeutics that have the potential to become anti-cancer therapies, such as bispecific antibodies, ADCs and other innovative treatments. ADCs in particular present a unique opportunity for new cancer treatments, given their capabilities to deliver anti-cancer drug payloads to targets with increased precision while minimizing impact on healthy tissues. This approach has been validated by multiple regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of ADCs in the past several years. To facilitate the growth of our various biotherapeutics programs, we have established multiple research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements and entered into other strategic transactions, aimed at conserving capital and managing risks, that provide us with access to antibodies, binders, payloads and conjugation technologies, which are the components employed to generate next-generation ADCs or multispecific antibodies.
Furthest along amongst our biotherapeutics programs is XB002, our lead TF-targeting ADC program, in-licensed from Iconic Therapeutics, Inc. (Iconic), now a wholly owned subsidiary of Endpoint Health, Inc. We are evaluating XB002, both as a single agent and in combination with either nivolumab or Roche’s bevacizumab, in JEWEL-101, a phase 1 study in patients with advanced solid tumors. In October 2022, we announced promising initial dose-escalation results from JEWEL-101 during the Antibody-drug Conjugates Poster Session at the 34th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium. The data demonstrated that XB002 was well-tolerated at multiple dose levels, and a pharmacokinetic analysis confirmed that XB002 was stable with low levels of free payload. We have initiated the cohort-expansion phase of JEWEL-101 for single-agent XB002, which is designed to further explore two doses of XB002 in individual tumor cohorts, including NSCLC, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. Additional cohorts being evaluated with a single dose of XB002 include endometrial cancer, SCCHN, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, mCRPC, triple negative breast cancer and hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, as well as a TF-expressing tumor-agnostic cohort. We are continuing to enroll patients in dose-escalation cohorts to determine recommended dosing for XB002 in combination with either nivolumab or bevacizumab, with additional expansion cohorts planned for these combinations as part of our goal to accelerate XB002 into full development. We also intend to evaluate the potential of XB002 in combination with other targeted therapies (including our other product candidates) across a wide range of tumor types, including indications other than those currently addressed by commercially available TF-targeted therapies.
In November 2022, we executed two option deals that exemplify our strategy to access clinical- or near-clinical-stage assets: an exclusive collaboration agreement with Cybrexa providing us with the right to acquire CBX-12; and an exclusive clinical development and option agreement with Sairopa to develop ADU-1805. Both CBX-12 and ADU-1805 are currently being evaluated in phase 1 clinical trials to explore each compound’s pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors. The ADU-1805 study includes future plans to investigate the compound’s potential in combination with approved ICIs.
In addition to the option deals with Cybrexa and Sairopa, some of our active research collaborations for biotherapeutics programs include collaborations with:
Adagene Inc. (Adagene), which is focused on using Adagene’s SAFEbody technology to develop novel masked ADCs or other innovative biotherapeutics with potential for improved therapeutic index;
BioInvent International AB (BioInvent), which is intended to expand our portfolio of antibody-based therapies and utilizes BioInvent’s proprietary n-CoDeR antibody library and patient-centric F.I.R.S.T screening platform, which together are designed to allow for parallel target and antibody discovery;
Catalent, Inc. (Catalent), which is focused on the discovery and development of multiple ADCs using Catalent’s proprietary SMARTag site-specific bioconjugation technology;
Invenra, Inc. (Invenra), which is focused on the discovery and development of novel binders and multispecific antibodies for the treatment of cancer; and
NBE-Therapeutics AG (NBE), which is focused on the discovery and development of multiple ADCs by leveraging NBE’s unique expertise and proprietary platforms in ADC discovery, including NBE’s SMAC-Technology and novel payloads.

We have already made significant progress under these and other research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements and believe we will continue to do so for the remainder of 2023. For example, as a direct result of these arrangements, we are advancing four biotherapeutics development candidates: XB010, XB014, XB628 and XB371. XB010, our first ADC advanced internally, targets the tumor antigen 5T4. It incorporates an antibody sourced from Invenra and was constructed using Catalent’s SMARTag site-specific bioconjugation platform. XB014 and XB628 are bispecific antibodies: XB014 combines a PD-L1 targeting arm with a CD47 targeting arm to block a macrophage checkpoint and XB628 targets PD-L1 and NKG2A, identified as key regulators of natural killer cell activity. Both XB014 and XB628 were developed, in part, in collaboration with Invenra. XB371 is a next-generation TF-targeting ADC that is differentiated from XB002 by its topoisomerase inhibitor payload, and was developed, in part, in collaboration with Catalent.
Other Small Molecules
Since its formation in 2000, our drug discovery group has advanced 25 compounds to the Investigational New Drug (IND) stage, either independently or with collaboration partners, and today we deploy our drug discovery expertise to advance small molecule drug candidates toward and through preclinical development. These efforts are led by our experienced scientists, including some of the same scientists who led the efforts to discover cabozantinib, cobimetinib and esaxerenone, each of which are now commercially distributed drug products. For example, as discussed above, zanzalintinib, which was discovered at Exelixis, is now being evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials. We augment our small molecule discovery activities through research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements with other companies engaged in small molecule discovery. Most recently, in September 2023, we entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Insilico Medicine US, Inc. and its parent company, Insilico Medicine Hong Kong Limited, along with certain other affiliated entities (individually and collectively referred to as Insilico). The agreement with Insilico grants us global rights to develop and commercialize XL309, a potentially best-in-class small molecule inhibitor of USP1, which has emerged as a synthetic lethal target in the context of BRCA-mutated tumors. In April 2023, the FDA cleared the initial IND for XL309 for the treatment of patients with solid tumors. Examples of our small molecule research collaborations and in-licensing arrangements include:
STORM Therapeutics LTD (STORM), which is focused on the discovery and development of inhibitors of novel RNA modifying enzymes, including ADAR1; and
Aurigene Oncology, Ltd. (Aurigene), which is focused on the discovery and development of novel small molecules as therapies for cancer.
The most advanced compounds to emerge from these arrangements is XL102, our lead program targeting CDK7, in-licensed from Aurigene. We are evaluating XL102, both as a single agent and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies, in QUARTZ-101, a phase 1 study in patients with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. In December 2022, we announced initial dose-escalation results from QUARTZ-101 during the Poster Session at the 2022 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The data demonstrated that XL102 was well-tolerated at multiple dose levels, and a pharmacokinetic analysis supported adding investigation of twice-daily oral dosing, as well as introduction to a new formulation; dose escalation is ongoing.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are currently working on more than 20 discovery programs and, pending data warranting further exploration, we anticipate advancing up to five new development candidates into preclinical development during the remainder of 2023. In addition, we will continue to engage in business development initiatives with the goal of acquiring and in-licensing promising oncology platforms and assets and then further characterize and develop them utilizing our established preclinical and clinical development infrastructure.

Third Quarter 2023 Business Updates and Financial Highlights
During the third quarter of 2023, we continued to execute on our business objectives, generating significant revenues from operations and enabling us to continue seeking to maximize the clinical and commercial potential of our products and expand our product pipeline. Significant business updates and financial highlights for the quarter and subsequent to quarter-end include:
Business Updates
In July 2023, we announced entry into a settlement agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals Development, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (individually and collectively referred to as Teva). This settlement resolves patent litigation we brought in response to Teva’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX prior to the expiration of certain of our patents. For a more detailed discussion of this litigation matter involving Teva, as well as those litigation matters involving MSN and Cipla (each as defined below), see “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In August 2023, we announced positive results from CONTACT-02, the phase 3 pivotal trial evaluating cabozantinib in combination with atezolizumab versus a second NHT in patients with mCRPC who have been previously treated with an NHT. The combination met one of the primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in PFS at the primary analysis. At a prespecified interim analysis for the other primary endpoint of OS, a trend toward improvement of OS was observed; however, the data were immature and did not meet the threshold for statistical significance. Therefore, the trial will continue to the next OS analysis as planned. We intend to discuss these findings with the FDA, and detailed findings will be presented at a future medical meeting.
In August 2023, we appointed Amy Peterson, M.D., as our new Executive Vice President, Product Development & Medical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer of the Company.
In August 2023, we announced the early unblinding and halting of The Alliance’s phase 3 CABINET trial, as unanimously recommended by The Alliance’s independent DSMB due to significant improvements in efficacy observed during an interim analysis. We plan to discuss these results with the FDA.
In September 2023, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Insilico, which grants us global rights to develop and commercialize XL309.
As of September 30, 2023, we have repurchased $344.8 million of our common stock. In March 2023, we announced the repurchase of up to $550 million of our common stock before the end of 2023.
In October 2023, detailed findings from the phase 3 CABINET trial were presented during a Proffered Paper Session at the 2023 ESMO Congress.
In November 2023, we expect to present data from the clear cell RCC expansion cohort of STELLAR-001 at the 2023 International Kidney Cancer Symposium.
Financial Highlights
Net product revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $426.5 million, as compared to $366.5 million for the third quarter of 2022.
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $471.9 million, as compared to $411.7 million for the third quarter of 2022.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $332.6 million, as compared to $198.8 million for the third quarter of 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $138.1 million, as compared to $115.0 million for the third quarter of 2022.
Provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2023 was $4.8 million, as compared to $18.8 million for the third quarter of 2022.
Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $1.0 million, or $0.00 per share, basic and diluted, as compared to net income of $73.2 million, or $0.23 per share, basic and diluted, for the third quarter of 2022.
See “Results of Operations” below for a discussion of the detailed components and analysis of the amounts above.

Outlook, Challenges and Risks
We will continue to face numerous challenges and risks that may impact our ability to execute on our business objectives. In particular, for the foreseeable future, we expect our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our business operations and growth will depend upon the continued commercial success of CABOMETYX, both alone and in combination with other therapies, as a treatment for the highly competitive indications for which it is approved, and possibly for other indications for which cabozantinib is currently being evaluated in potentially label-enabling clinical trials, if warranted by the data generated from these trials. However, we cannot be certain that the clinical trials we and our collaboration partners are conducting will demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy in these additional indications to receive regulatory approval in the major commercial markets where CABOMETYX is approved. Even if the required regulatory approvals to market CABOMETYX for additional indications are achieved, we and our collaboration partners may not be able to commercialize CABOMETYX effectively and successfully in these additional indications. In addition, CABOMETYX will only continue to be commercially successful if private third-party and government payers continue to provide coverage and reimbursement. As is the case for all innovative pharmaceutical therapies, obtaining and maintaining coverage and reimbursement for CABOMETYX is becoming increasingly difficult, both within the U.S. and in foreign markets. In addition, healthcare policymakers in the U.S. are increasingly expressing concern over healthcare costs and corresponding legislative and policy initiatives and activities have been launched aimed at increasing the healthcare cost burdens borne by pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as expanding access to, and restricting the prices and growth in prices of, pharmaceuticals.
Achievement of our business objectives will also depend on our ability to maintain a competitive position in the shifting landscape of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer, which we may not be able to do. On an ongoing basis, we assess the constantly evolving landscape of other approved and investigational cancer therapies that could be competitive, or complementary in combination, with our products, and we adapt our development strategies for the cabozantinib franchise and our pipeline product candidates accordingly, such as by modifying our clinical trials to include evaluation of our therapies with ICIs and other targeted agents. Even if our current and future clinical trials, including those evaluating cabozantinib in combination with an ICI in mCRPC or evaluating zanzalintinib in combination with an ICI in CRC and RCC, produce positive results sufficient to obtain marketing approval by the FDA and other global regulatory authorities, it is uncertain whether physicians will choose to prescribe regimens containing our products instead of competing products and product combinations in approved indications.
In the longer term, we may eventually face competition from potential manufacturers of generic versions of our marketed products, including the proposed generic versions of CABOMETYX tablets that are the subject of ANDAs submitted to the FDA by MSN, Teva and Cipla. The approval of any of these ANDAs and subsequent launch of any generic version of CABOMETYX could significantly decrease our revenues derived from the U.S. sales of CABOMETYX and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Separately, our research and development objectives may be impeded by the challenges of scaling our organization to meet the demands of expanded drug development, unanticipated delays in clinical testing and the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with drug discovery operations, especially on the global level. In particular, political tensions and outbreaks of hostilities in various regions of the world, most recently the conflict between Israel and Hamas, have had modest impacts on our clinical development operations and may continue to affect our ability to enroll patients and adhere to trial protocols and other procedures. Moreover, with respect to our efforts to expand our product pipeline, we may be unsuccessful in discovering new drug candidates or identifying appropriate candidates for in-licensing or acquisition.
Some of these challenges and risks are specific to our business, others are common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, and an additional category are macroeconomic, affecting all companies.

Net product revenues$426,497 $366,482 16 %$1,199,543 $1,023,824 17 %
The increases in net product revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily related to increases of 11% and 10%, respectively, for each period in the number of CABOMETYX units sold as a result of the FDA’s approval of CABOMETYX in combination with OPDIVO as a first-line treatment of patients with advanced RCC. These increases in sales volume are in part due to the longer duration of therapy for this combination and increases in related market share reflecting the continued evolution of the metastatic RCC, HCC and DTC treatment landscapes, and, to a lesser extent, increases of 5% and 7% in the average net selling price of CABOMETYX for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods.
We project our net product revenues may increase for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, for similar reasons noted above.
We recognize product revenues net of discounts and allowances that are described in “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
Discounts and allowances as a percentage of gross revenues have generally increased over time as the number of patients participating in government programs has increased and as the discounts given and rebates paid to government payers have also increased. The increases in the amount of discounts and allowances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily the result of increases in volume of units sold and higher utilization by covered entities in the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
We project our discounts and allowances as a percentage of gross revenues may increase for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, for similar reasons noted above.
License Revenues
License revenues include: (a) the recognition of the portion of milestone payments allocated to the transfer of intellectual property licenses for which it had become probable, in the related period, that a milestone would be achieved and a significant reversal of revenues would not occur in future periods; (b) royalty revenues; and (c) the profit on the U.S. commercialization of COTELLIC from Genentech.
Milestone revenues, which are allocated between license revenues and collaboration services revenues, were $0.9 million and $13.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $28.5 million for the corresponding prior year periods. Milestone revenues by period included the following:
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $9.9 million in revenues recognized in connection with a commercial milestone of $11.0 million from Takeda upon their achievement of $150.0 million of cumulative net sales of cabozantinib in Japan.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, $25.8 million in revenues recognized in connection with two regulatory milestones totaling $27.0 million upon the approval by the European Commission and Health Canada of cabozantinib as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic DTC, refractory or not eligible to radioactive iodine who have progressed during or after prior systemic therapy.
Royalty revenues increased primarily as a result of increases in Ipsen’s net sales of cabozantinib outside of the U.S. and Japan. Ipsen royalties were $34.8 million and $98.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $27.6 million and $79.7 million for the corresponding prior year periods. Ipsen’s net sales of cabozantinib have continued to grow since Ipsen’s first commercial sale of CABOMETYX in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily due to regulatory approvals in new territories, including regulatory approval in the EU for the combination therapy of CABOMETYX and OPDIVO received in March 2021. Royalty revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 also included $3.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, related to Takeda’s net sales of cabozantinib, as compared to $2.7 million and $7.8 million for the corresponding prior year periods. Takeda royalty revenues have continued to grow since Takeda’s first commercial sale of CABOMETYX in Japan in 2020. CABOMETYX is approved and is commercially available in 67 countries outside the U.S. as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our share of profits on the U.S. commercialization of COTELLIC under our collaboration agreement with Genentech were $2.1 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $1.5 million and $5.3 million for the corresponding prior year periods. We also earned royalties on ex-U.S. net sales of COTELLIC by Genentech of $1.0 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $1.5 million and $4.0 million for the corresponding prior year periods.
Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing and achievement of regulatory and development milestones, it is difficult to predict future milestone revenues and milestones can vary significantly from period to period.
Collaboration Services Revenues
Collaboration services revenues include the recognition of deferred revenues for the portion of upfront and milestone payments that have been allocated to research and development services performance obligations, development cost reimbursements earned under our collaboration agreements and product supply revenues, which are net of product supply costs and the royalties we pay to Royalty Pharma on sales by Ipsen and Takeda of products containing cabozantinib.

Table of Contents
Development cost reimbursements were $7.3 million and $27.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $13.1 million and $47.7 million for the corresponding prior year periods. The decreases in development cost reimbursements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily attributable to decreases in spending on the COSMIC-312, CONTACT-02 and COSMIC-311 studies.
Collaboration services revenues were reduced by $4.8 million and $14.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $3.9 million and $11.9 million for the corresponding prior year periods, for the 3% royalty we are required to pay on the net sales by Ipsen and Takeda of any product incorporating cabozantinib. As royalty generating sales of cabozantinib by Ipsen and Takeda have increased as described above, our royalty payments have also increased.
We project our collaboration services revenues may decrease for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily as a result of a decrease in development cost reimbursement revenues.
Cost of Goods Sold
The cost of goods sold and our gross margin were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Cost of goods sold$18,774 $15,305 23 %$50,794$41,98921 %
Gross margin %96 %96 %96 %96 %
Cost of goods sold is related to our product revenues and consists of a 3% royalty payable on U.S. net sales of any product incorporating cabozantinib, as well as the cost of inventory sold, indirect labor costs, write-downs related to expiring, excess and obsolete inventory and other third-party logistics costs. The increases in cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily due to increases in royalties as a result of increased U.S. CABOMETYX sales and certain period costs. We project our gross margin will not change significantly during the remainder of 2023.
Research and Development Expenses
We do not track fully burdened research and development expenses on a project-by-project basis. We group our research and development expenses into three categories: (1) development; (2) drug discovery; and (3) other research and development. Our development group leads the development and implementation of our clinical and regulatory strategies and prioritizes disease indications in which our compounds are being or may be studied in clinical trials. Development expenses include license and other collaboration costs, primarily comprised of upfront license fees, development milestones and other payments associated with our clinical-stage in-licensing collaboration programs, clinical trial costs, personnel expenses, consulting and outside services and other development costs, including manufacturing costs of our drug development candidates. Our drug discovery group utilizes a variety of technologies, including in-licensed technologies, to enable the rapid discovery, optimization and extensive characterization of lead compounds and biotherapeutics such that we are able to select development candidates with the best potential for further evaluation and advancement into clinical development. Drug discovery expenses include license and other collaboration costs primarily comprised of upfront license fees, research funding commitments, development milestones and other payments associated with our in-licensing collaboration programs in preclinical development stage. Other drug discovery costs include personnel expenses, consulting and outside services and laboratory supplies. Other research and development expenses include the allocation of general corporate costs to research and development services and development cost reimbursements in connection with certain of our collaboration arrangements.

Total research and development expenses$332,585 $198,837 67 %$799,401 $554,989 44 %
The increases in research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily related to increases in license and other collaboration costs, personnel expenses, manufacturing costs to support Exelixis’ development candidates (presented as part of other development costs), other research and development expenses and clinical trial costs, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.
Development-related license and other collaboration costs increased primarily due to an $80.0 million upfront payment made upon the execution of the exclusive license agreement with Insilico in September 2023 and the reversal of a development milestone in the third quarter of 2022. Personnel expenses increased primarily due to an increase in headcount to support our expanding discovery and development organization. Other development costs increased primarily due to manufacturing costs to support our development candidates. Other research and development expenses increased primarily related to technology costs, including our investments in business technology initiatives to support productivity and efficiency in our organization, and increases in facility expenses. Clinical trial costs, which include services performed by third-party contract research organizations and other vendors who support our clinical trials, increased primarily due to higher costs associated with various studies evaluating zanzalintinib, partially offset by decreases in costs associated with cabozantinib studies. Drug discovery-related license and other collaboration costs decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to lower research and development funding, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. Drug discovery-related license and other collaboration costs increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a $35.0 million milestone payment to Sairopa upon the IND effective date for ADU-1805, partially offset by lower new upfront license fees. Stock-based compensation expense decreased, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, primarily due to higher forfeitures.
In addition to reviewing the three categories of research and development expenses described above, we principally consider qualitative factors in making decisions regarding our research and development programs. These factors include enrollment in clinical trials for our drug candidates, preliminary data and final results from clinical trials, the potential market indications and overall clinical and commercial potential for our drug candidates, and competitive dynamics. We also make our research and development decisions in the context of our overall business strategy.

We continue to focus our development efforts on cabozantinib to maximize the therapeutic and commercial potential of this compound. Notable ongoing company-sponsored studies resulting from this program include: CONTACT-02, for which Roche is sharing the development costs and providing atezolizumab free of charge; and COSMIC-313, for which BMS is providing nivolumab and ipilimumab free of charge. In addition, we project that a substantial portion of our research and development expenses will relate to the clinical development of our small molecule product candidate, zanzalintinib, and our first biotherapeutics product candidate, XB002.
We are expanding our oncology product pipeline through drug discovery efforts, which encompass both biotherapeutics and small molecule programs with multiple modalities and mechanisms of action, with the goal of identifying new product candidates to advance into clinical trials. We also continue to engage in business development initiatives aimed at acquiring and in-licensing promising oncology platforms and assets, with the goal of utilizing our established preclinical and clinical development infrastructure to further characterize and develop such platforms and assets.
We project our research and development expenses may decrease for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily driven by decreases in license and collaboration upfront fees, partially offset by increases in personnel expenses to support our expanding discovery and development organization and clinical trial costs, including the current and planned trials evaluating zanzalintinib and XB002.

(1) Excludes stock-based compensation allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, marketing costs and certain other administrative costs.
The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily related to increases in personnel expenses, stock-based compensation expense, technology costs, facility expenses and legal and advisory fees related to litigation and the proxy contest. Personnel expenses increased primarily due to increases in administrative headcount to support our commercial and research and development organizations. Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to higher expense associated with the achievement of a performance condition for PSUs. The increases in technology costs include our investments in business technology initiatives to support productivity and efficiency in our organization. The increase in facility expenses was primarily due to the commencement of new leases in 2022.
We project our selling, general and administrative expenses may increase for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, due to increases in personnel expenses for similar reasons noted above.

The increases in non-operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, were primarily the result of an increase in interest income due to higher interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):
 
Three Months Ended September 30,

Nine Months Ended September 30,
Percent Change

Effective tax rate82.1 %20.5 %20.9 %20.1 %
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to non-deductible executive compensation and the branded prescription drug fee, partially offset by the generation of federal tax credits. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to the generation of federal tax credits, partially offset by non-deductible executive compensation and state taxes. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to excess tax benefits related to the exercise of certain stock options during the periods and the generation of federal tax credits, partially offset by state taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had $1.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments, as compared to $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2022. We anticipate that the aggregate of our current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments available for operations, net product revenues and collaboration revenues will enable us to maintain our operations for at least 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
Our primary cash requirements for operating activities, which we project will increase for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in 2022, are for: income tax payments; employee related expenditures; payments related to our development and discovery programs; royalty payments on our net product sales; rent payments for our leased facilities; and contract manufacturing payments.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law on December 22, 2017, modified the tax treatment of research and development expenditures beginning in 2022. Research and development expenditures are no longer currently deductible but instead must be amortized ratably over five years for domestic expenditures or 15 years for foreign expenditures. As a result, we anticipate a higher federal income tax liability in 2023 and expect to pay higher estimated federal taxes by the end of 2023. We will realize a reduction of our federal income tax liability in future years as the capitalized research and development expenditures are amortized for tax purposes.

Table of Contents
Our primary sources of operating cash are: cash collections from customers related to net product sales, which we project will increase for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in 2022; cash collections related to milestones achieved and royalties earned from our commercial collaboration arrangements with Ipsen, Takeda and others; and cash collections for cost reimbursements under certain of our development programs with Ipsen and Takeda which we project may decrease for the remainder of 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The timing of cash generated from commercial collaborations and cash payments required for in-licensing collaborations relative to upfront license fee payments, research funding commitments, cost reimbursements, exercise of option payments and other contingent payments such as development milestone payments may vary from period to period.
We also have cash requirements related to capital expenditures to support the planned growth of our business, including investments in facilities and equipment. We project that we may continue to spend significant amounts of cash to fund the development and commercialization of cabozantinib and the development of other product candidates in our pipeline, including zanzalintinib and XB002. In addition, we intend to continue to expand our oncology product pipeline through our drug discovery efforts, including additional research collaborations, in-licensing arrangements and other strategic transactions that align with our oncology drug development, and regulatory and commercial expertise. In March 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $550 million of our common stock before the end of 2023. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $205.2 million remained available for future stock repurchases before the end of 2023, pursuant to our stock repurchase program. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of Exelixis’ common stock and general market conditions.
Financing these activities could materially impact our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur debt or raise additional funds through the issuance of equity. Furthermore, even though we believe we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plans, we may choose to incur debt or raise additional funds through the issuance of equity based on market conditions or strategic considerations.
Sources and Uses of Cash (dollars in thousands):

Working capital$1,066,553 $1,294,403 -18 %
Cash, cash equivalents and investments$1,915,067 $2,066,681 -7 %
Working capital: The decrease in working capital as of September 30, 2023, as compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily due to repurchases of our common stock and purchases of long-term investments, partially offset by the favorable impact to our net current assets resulting from our net income. In the future, our working capital may be impacted by one of these factors or other factors, the amounts and timing of which are variable.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments: Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash deposits held at major banks, commercial paper, money market funds and other securities with original maturities 90 days or less. Investments primarily consist of debt securities available-for-sale. For additional information regarding our cash, cash equivalents and investments, see “Note 4. Cash and Investments,” of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2023, as compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily due to cash payments to repurchase our common stock, payments to support our development and discovery programs, including acquisition of acquired in-process research and development technology, such as the upfront payment made upon execution of the exclusive license agreement with Insilico and operating cash payments for employee-related expenditures, partially offset by cash inflows generated by our operations from sales of our products and our commercial collaboration arrangements.

Table of Contents
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is derived by adjusting our net income for non-cash operating items such as deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, depreciation, non-cash lease expense and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to an increase in cash received on sales of our products and a decrease in cash paid for certain operating expenses, primarily from collaboration related research and development payments, partially offset by the collection of a $100.0 million milestone payment from Ipsen in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Investing Activities
The changes in cash flows from investing activities primarily relates to the timing of marketable securities investment activity, acquisition of acquired in-process research and development technology and capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures primarily consist of investments to expand our operations and acquire assets that further support our research and development activities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in purchases of investments and increase in cash proceeds from maturities and sales of investments, partially offset by an increase in purchases of in-process research and development technology related to certain of our in-licensing collaboration arrangements.
Financing Activities
The changes in cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to proceeds from employee stock programs, taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, and payments for repurchases of common stock.
Net cash was used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to cash provided by financing operations in the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to payments for repurchases of common stock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, payments for repurchases of common stock were $341.1 million.
Contractual Obligations
In May 2023, in connection with the commencement of our lease of laboratory facilities located in Pennsylvania, we recognized a right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability of $13.2 million. We estimated the lease term to be 60 months taking into consideration our early termination rights.
There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2023 from those disclosed in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. For more information about our leases, and our other contractual obligations, see “Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies” of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and see “Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. which requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to: those related to revenue recognition, including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and variable consideration such as rebates,
38

Table of Contents
chargebacks, sales returns and sales allowances as well as milestones included in collaboration arrangements; the amounts of revenues and expenses under our profit and loss sharing agreement; recoverability of inventory; the accrual for certain liabilities, including accrued clinical trial liabilities; valuations of equity awards used to determine stock-based compensation, including certain awards with vesting subject to market and/or performance conditions; and the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities, including the related valuation allowance. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
We believe our critical accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, inventory, clinical trial accruals, stock-based compensation and income taxes reflect the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Part II, Item 7 of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of the expected impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our market risks as of September 30, 2023 have not changed significantly from those described in Part II, Item 7A of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Limitations on the effectiveness of controls. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
MSN I ANDA Litigation
In September 2019, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by MSN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (individually and collectively with certain of its affiliates, including MSN Laboratories Private Limited, referred to as MSN), requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. MSN’s initial notice letter included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment) and 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), which are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, also referred to as the Orange Book, for CABOMETYX. MSN’s initial notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 (composition of matter) or 8,497,284 (methods of treatment), each of which is listed in the Orange Book. On October 29, 2019, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court) for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 arising from MSN’s ANDA filing with the FDA. On November 20, 2019, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 are invalid and not infringed. On May 5, 2020, we received notice from MSN that it had amended its ANDA to include additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the May 5, 2020 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of two previously unasserted CABOMETYX patents: U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284. On May 11, 2020, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284 arising from MSN’s amended ANDA filing with the FDA. Neither of our complaints have alleged infringement of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873 and 10,039,757. On May 22, 2020, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284 are invalid and not infringed. On March 23, 2021, MSN filed its First Amended Answer and Counterclaims (amending its prior filing from May 22, 2020), seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 (salt and polymorphic forms) is invalid and would not be infringed by MSN if its generic version of CABOMETYX tablets were approved by the FDA. U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 is not listed in the Orange Book. On April 7, 2021, we filed our response to MSN’s First Amended Answer and Counterclaims, denying, among other things, that U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549 is invalid or would not be infringed. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN I), numbered Civil Action Nos. 19-02017 and 20-00633, were consolidated in April 2021.
On October 1, 2021, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN’s submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN’s commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN’s ANDA product prior to the expiration of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473 and 8,497,284 would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. Then, on October 12, 2021, pursuant to a separate stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order dismissing MSN’s counterclaims with respect to U.S. Patent No. 9,809,549. In our MSN I complaints, we sought, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 7,579,473, 8,497,284 and 8,877,776, the latest of which expires on October 8, 2030, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. In an effort to streamline the case, the parties narrowed their assertions. On April 8, 2022, MSN withdrew its validity challenge to U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776. On April 14, 2022, we agreed not to assert U.S. Patent No. 8,497,284 at trial and MSN, correspondingly, agreed to withdraw its validity challenges to U.S. Patent No. 8,497,284, as well as claims 1-4 and 6-7 of U.S. Patent No. 7,579,473. As a result of this narrowing, the trial addressed two issues: (1) infringement of claim 1 of the U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776; and (2) validity of claim 5 of the U.S. Patent No. 7,579,473. A bench trial for MSN I occurred in May 2022, and on January 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a ruling rejecting MSN’s invalidity challenge to U.S. Patent No. 7,759,473. The Delaware District Court also ruled that MSN’s proposed ANDA product does not infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,877,776 and entered judgment that the effective date of any final FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA shall not be a date earlier than August 14, 2026, the expiration date of U.S. Patent No. 7,759,473. Final judgment was entered on January 30, 2023. This ruling in MSN I does not impact our separate and ongoing MSN II lawsuit (as defined below).

Table of Contents
MSN II ANDA Litigation
On January 11, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert additional Paragraph IV certifications. In particular, the January 11, 2022 amended ANDA requested approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of three previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patents that are now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition) and 11,098,015 (methods of treatment). On February 23, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On February 25, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 are invalid and not infringed. On June 7, 2022, we received notice from MSN that it had further amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As currently amended, MSN’s ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). On July 18, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against MSN asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 arising from MSN’s further amendment of its ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 9, 2022, MSN filed its response to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 are invalid and not infringed and amended its challenges to U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 to allege that these patents are not enforceable based on equitable grounds. The two lawsuits comprising this litigation (collectively referred to as MSN II), numbered Civil Action Nos. 22-00228 and 22-00945, were consolidated in October 2022 and involve Exelixis patents that are different from those asserted in the MSN I litigation described above.
On June 21, 2022, pursuant to a stipulation between us and MSN, the Delaware District Court entered an order that (i) MSN’s submission of its ANDA constitutes infringement of certain claims relating to U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015, if those claims are not found to be invalid, and (ii) upon approval, MSN’s commercial manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale within the U.S., and importation into the U.S., of MSN’s ANDA product prior to the expiration of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440 and 11,098,015 would also infringe certain claims of each patent, if those claims are not found to be invalid. In our MSN II complaints, we are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of MSN’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining MSN from infringing these patents. On September 28, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties’ stipulation of dismissal of MSN’s equitable defenses and counterclaims. A bench trial occurred in October 2023, and a judgment is expected during the first half of 2024.
Teva ANDA Litigation
In May 2021, we received notice letters from Teva regarding an ANDA Teva submitted to the FDA, requesting approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets. Teva’s notice letters included a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,034,873 (methods of treatment) and 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), which are listed in the Orange Book. Teva’s notice letters did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against any additional CABOMETYX patents. On June 17, 2021, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Teva, asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873 and 10,039,757 arising from Teva’s ANDA filing with the FDA. On August 27, 2021, Teva filed its answer and counterclaims to the complaint, alleging that the asserted claims of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873 and 10,039,757 are invalid and not infringed. On September 17, 2021, we filed an answer to Teva’s counterclaims. On July 29, 2022, we received notice from Teva that it had amended its ANDA to assert an additional Paragraph IV certification. As amended, Teva’s ANDA now requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to expiration of a previously-unasserted CABOMETYX patent that is now listed in the Orange Book: U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). On September 2, 2022, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Teva, asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,298,349 arising from Teva’s amended ANDA filing with the FDA. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 9,724,342, 10,034,873, 10,039,757 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on July 9, 2033, and equitable relief enjoining Teva from infringing these patents. On September 30, 2022, the parties filed a stipulation to consolidate the two lawsuits, numbered Civil Action Nos. 21-00871 and 22-01168, and to stay all proceedings, which was granted by the Delaware District Court on October 3, 2022. Following a similar order granted by the Delaware District Court on February 9, 2022 to stay all proceedings with respect to Civil Action No. 21-00871, this case remained administratively closed, and Civil Action No. 22-01168 was administratively closed on October 3, 2022. On July 18, 2023, we entered into a settlement and license agreement (the Teva Settlement Agreement) with Teva to end these litigations. Pursuant to the terms of the Teva
41

Table of Contents
Settlement Agreement, we will grant Teva a license to market its generic version of CABOMETYX in the U.S. beginning on January 1, 2031, if approved by the FDA and subject to conditions and exceptions common to agreements of this type. On September 15, 2023, the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal with the Delaware District Court, and on September 19, 2023, the Delaware District Court granted the parties’ stipulation and dismissed the case without prejudice.
Cipla ANDA Litigation
On February 6, 2023, we received a notice letter regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Cipla, Ltd. and Cipla USA, Inc. (individually and collectively referred to as Cipla), including a Paragraph IV certification with respect to our U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776 (salt and polymorphic forms), 9,724,342 (formulations), 10,039,757 (methods of treatment), 11,091,439 (crystalline salt forms), 11,091,440 (pharmaceutical composition), 11,098,015 (methods of treatment) and 11,298,349 (pharmaceutical composition). Cipla’s notice letter did not provide a Paragraph IV certification against any additional CABOMETYX patents. On March 16, 2023, we filed a complaint in the Delaware District Court for patent infringement against Cipla asserting infringement of U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349 arising from Cipla’s ANDA filing with the FDA. Cipla’s ANDA requests approval to market a generic version of CABOMETYX tablets prior to the expiration of the aforementioned patents. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Cipla’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of all of U.S. Patents No. 8,877,776, 11,091,439, 11,091,440, 11,098,015 and 11,298,349, the latest of which expires on February 10, 2032, and equitable relief enjoining Cipla from infringing these patents. On May 4, 2023, we filed, under seal, a stipulation and proposed order to stay all proceedings, and the Delaware District Court, in a sealed order on the same day, granted the proposed order and administratively closed the case. On May 5, 2023, the Delaware District Court issued a redacted version of the May 4, 2023 order.
We may also from time to time become a party or subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings have involved, and may involve in the future, claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable damages.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the information discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully review and consider the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks and uncertainties described therein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, as supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In March 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to $550 million of our outstanding common stock before the end of 2023. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $205.2 million remained available for future stock repurchases before the end of 2023, pursuant to our stock repurchase program.
The timing and amount of any stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program will be based on a variety of factors, including ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, alternative investment opportunities, the market price of our common stock and general market conditions. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, block trades, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, 10b5-1 trading plans, exchange transactions, or any combination of such methods. The program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
