License Agreements | Note 8. License Agreements Novartis In November 2009, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Novartis. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis received exclusive development and commercialization rights outside of the United States to our JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib and certain back-up compounds for hematologic and oncology indications, including all hematological malignancies, solid tumors and myeloproliferative diseases. We retained exclusive development and commercialization rights to JAKAFI (ruxolitinib) in the United States and in certain other indications. Novartis also received worldwide exclusive development and commercialization rights to our MET inhibitor compound capmatinib and certain back-up compounds in all indications. Under this agreement, each company is responsible for costs relating to the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib in its respective territories, with costs of collaborative studies shared equally. Novartis is also responsible for all costs relating to the development and commercialization of capmatinib. We were eligible to receive up to $174.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, up to $495.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones and up to $500.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. In addition, we were initially eligible to receive up to $75.0 million of additional potential development and regulatory milestones relating to graft-versus-host-disease (“GVHD”). Since the inception of the agreement through September 30, 2025, we have recognized and received, in the aggregate, $157.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, $345.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones, and $200.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. We are obligated to pay to Novartis tiered royalties in the low single-digits on future JAKAFI net sales within the United States. On May 11, 2025, we and Novartis entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with respect to litigation initiated by Novartis relating to the duration of royalty payments owed by us to Novartis under the Collaboration and License Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $537.1 million of accrued royalties relating to the dispute with Novartis included in accrued and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the Settlement Agreement, we paid Novartis $280.0 million as the settlement of disputed royalties on net sales of JAKAFI in the United States through December 31, 2024, and agreed to reduce by 50% the royalty rate payable by us on future net sales of JAKAFI in the United States beginning January 1, 2025 for a period defined in the Settlement Agreement. The reduced royalty paid for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was approximately $14.9 million. The difference of $242.2 million between the total accrued royalties and the total amount paid by us to Novartis as disclosed above was recorded in Contract dispute settlement on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for nine months ended September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, such royalties on net sales within the United States totaled $19.3 million and $67.8 million, respectively, and were reflected in cost of product revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, such royalties on net sales within the United States totaled $36.3 million and $93.9 million, respectively, and were reflected in cost of product revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $19.4 million and $507.4 million, respectively, of accrued royalties were included in accrued and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We also are eligible to receive tiered, double-digit royalties ranging from the upper-teens to the mid-twenties on future JAKAVI (the trade name used by Novartis for ruxolitinib sales outside of the United States) net sales outside of the United States, and tiered, worldwide royalties on TABRECTA net sales that range from 12% to 14%. Product royalty revenue related to Novartis’ net sales of JAKAVI outside of the United States for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $125.6 million and $327.5 million, respectively. Product royalty revenue related to Novartis’ net sales of JAKAVI outside of the United States for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $115.7 million and $304.7 million, respectively. Product royalty revenue related to Novartis’ net sales of TABRECTA worldwide for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $6.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively. Product royalty revenue related to Novartis’ net sales of TABRECTA worldwide for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $5.9 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Lilly – Baricitinib In December 2009, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Lilly. Under the terms of the agreement, Lilly received exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to our JAK inhibitor baricitinib, and certain back-up compounds for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Under this agreement, we were initially eligible to receive up to $150.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, up to $365.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones and up to $150.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. Since the inception of the agreement through September 30, 2025, we have recognized and received, in aggregate, $149.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, $335.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones and $50.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. In October 2025, the parties amended the agreement to enable Lilly to commercialize baricitinib for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus and to restructure the royalty obligations on net sales of baricitinib, certain developmental and regulatory milestones associated with baricitinib, and the marketing and sales support obligations of Lilly, for which we will receive an upfront payment of $100.0 million. Beginning in October 2025, we are now eligible to receive either a fixed royalty amount or tiered royalties based on defined levels of quarterly global net sales, with the tiered royalties up to a rate in the mid-teens. Product royalty revenue related to Lilly net sales of OLUMIANT outside of the United States for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $37.1 million and $101.4 million, respectively. Product royalty revenue related to Lilly net sales of OLUMIANT outside of the United States for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $34.8 million and $97.1 million, respectively. Agenus In January 2015, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Agenus Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4-Antibody AG (now known as Agenus Switzerland Inc.), which we collectively refer to as Agenus. Under this agreement, which was amended in February 2017, the parties agreed to collaborate on the discovery of novel immuno-therapeutics using Agenus’ antibody discovery platforms. In February 2025, we provided Agenus with notice that we are terminating the parties’ agreement based upon a strategic review. Under the terms of the agreement, the termination will become effective in February 2026, unless Agenus agrees to accelerate the notice period. During 2024, we sold our shares of Agenus Inc. common stock, and as of December 31, 2024, we had no remaining investment in Agenus Inc. common stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an unrealized loss of $6.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Agenus Inc.’s common stock during the respective periods. Merus In December 2016, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Merus N.V. (“Merus”). Under this agreement, the parties have agreed to collaborate with respect to the research, discovery and development of bispecific antibodies utilizing Merus’ technology platform. The collaboration encompasses up to ten independent programs. During 2024, we sold our investment of Merus’ common shares, and as of December 31, 2024, we had no remaining investment in Merus’ common shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded realized and unrealized losses of $4.1 million and realized and unrealized gains of $106.1 million, respectively, based on the sale of shares and change in fair value of remaining Merus’ common shares during the respective periods. MacroGenics In October 2017, we entered into a Global Collaboration and License Agreement with MacroGenics, Inc. (“MacroGenics”). Under this agreement, we received exclusive development and commercialization rights worldwide to MacroGenics’ INCMGA0012 (formerly MGA012), an investigational monoclonal antibody that inhibits PD-1. Except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, we have sole authority over and bear all costs and expenses in connection with the development and commercialization of INCMGA0012 in all indications, whether as a monotherapy or as part of a combination regimen. MacroGenics has retained the right to develop and commercialize, at its cost and expense, its pipeline assets in combination with INCMGA0012. In addition, MacroGenics has the right to manufacture a portion of both companies’ global clinical and commercial supply needs of INCMGA0012. Since the inception of the agreement, inclusive of amendments to the agreement, through September 30, 2025, we have paid MacroGenics developmental and regulatory milestones totaling $215.0 million. After these amendments and subsequent payments, MacroGenics will be eligible to receive up to an additional $210.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones, and up to $330.0 million in sales milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging from 15% to 24% of global net sales. In June 2025, MacroGenics sold certain of its rights to such future tiered royalties on and after June 30, 2025 to Sagard Healthcare Partners (Delaware) II LP. MorphoSys As described in Note 6, on February 5, 2024, we entered into a purchase agreement with MorphoSys that became effective as of that date, as a result of which we now hold exclusive global rights for tafasitamab, a humanized Fc-modified CD19-targeting immunotherapy marketed in the United States as MONJUVI (tafasitamab-cxix) and outside of the United States as MINJUVI (tafasitamab). Prior to the acquisition, pursuant to a now-terminated collaboration and license agreement, we and MorphoSys agreed to co-develop tafasitamab and to share development costs associated with global and U.S.-specific clinical trials, with Incyte responsible for 55% of such costs and MorphoSys responsible for 45% of such costs. Each company was responsible for funding any independent development activities, and we were responsible for funding development activities specific to territories outside of the United States. During 2024, we sold our investment of MorphoSys AG’s ordinary shares, and as of December 31, 2024, we had no remaining investment in MorphoSys AG’s ordinary shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a realized gain of $30.7 million, based on the sale of shares and change in fair value of MorphoSys AG's ordinary shares during the respective periods. As described in Note 6, subsequent to the asset acquisition, we recognize revenue and costs for all commercialization and clinical development of tafasitamab in the United States. Research and development expenses for the period from January 1, 2024 to the asset acquisition on February 5, 2024 includes $10.7 million related to our 55% share of the co-development costs for tafasitamab. Syndax In September 2021, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Syndax”), covering the worldwide development and commercialization of SNDX-6352 (“axatilimab”). Under the terms of our agreement, we received exclusive commercialization rights to axatilimab outside of the United States and share commercialization rights in the United States with Syndax. We are responsible for leading the commercialization strategy and booking all revenue from sales of axatilimab globally. Incyte and Syndax share equally the profits and losses from the co-commercialization efforts in the United States. Sales of axatilimab outside the United States are subject to our royalty payment obligations to Syndax, as set forth below. We and Syndax have agreed to co-develop axatilimab and to share development costs associated with global and U.S.-specific clinical trials, with Incyte responsible for 55% of such costs and Syndax responsible for 45% of such costs. Each company is responsible for funding any independent development activities. In August 2024, we made a $12.5 million regulatory milestone payment to Syndax for the FDA approval of NIKTIMVO for the treatment of GVHD. This milestone payment was capitalized as an intangible asset and included in other intangible assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, and is being amortized through cost of product revenues over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Inclusive of an upfront, non-refundable payment, since the inception of the agreement through September 30, 2025, we have made payments of $129.5 million to Syndax, which were previously recorded in research and development expense or in other intangible assets, as discussed above. Syndax is eligible to receive up to $207.5 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones and up to $230.0 million in sales milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging in the mid-teens on net sales in Europe and Japan and low double digit percentage on net sales in the rest of the world outside of the United States. Syndax’s right to receive royalties in any particular country will expire upon the last to occur of (a) the expiration of patent rights in that particular country, (b) a specified period of time after the first post-marketing authorization sale of a licensed product comprising axatilimab in that country, and (c) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for that licensed product in that country. As of September 30, 2025, we held an investment of approximately 1.4 million shares of Syndax common stock. The fair market value of our long term investment in Syndax as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $21.9 million and $18.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an unrealized gain of $8.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Syndax’s common stock during the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an unrealized loss of $1.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Syndax’s common stock during the respective periods.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, includes $5.8 million and $17.6 million, respectively, related to our 55% share of the co-development costs for axatilimab. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, was included in accrued and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for amounts due to Syndax under the agreement. China Medical Systems Holdings Limited In March 2024, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with China Medical System Skinhealth, a wholly-owned dermatology medical aesthetic company and subsidiary of China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMSHL”), for the development and commercialization of povorcitinib, a selective oral JAK1 inhibitor, in certain indications in certain Asian territories. In March 2024, we recognized an upfront payment under this agreement of $25.0 million upon our transfer of the functional intellectual property related to povorcitinib to CMSHL which was recorded in milestone and contract revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the first quarter of 2024. We are eligible to receive additional potential development and commercial milestones, as well as royalties on net sales of the licensed product in CMSHL’s territory. CMSHL received an exclusive license to develop and commercialize and a non-exclusive license to manufacture povorcitinib in autoimmune and inflammatory dermatologic diseases, including non-segmental vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa, prurigo nodularis, asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria, for patients in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and certain countries in Southeast Asia. Sun Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In July 2025, we entered into a settlement and license agreement with Sun Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Sun"), resolving patent infringement litigation related to Leqselvi (deuruxolitinib). Under this agreement, we have granted Sun a limited, non-exclusive license in the U.S. with respect to oral deuruxolitinib for certain agreed-upon non-hematology-oncology indications, including alopecia areata. In exchange for the limited license, Sun has paid us an upfront payment upon our transfer of functional intellectual property, which is included in milestone and contract revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and has agreed to pay to us ongoing royalty payments. The amount associated with the settlement component is de minimis. Other Agreements In addition to the license and collaboration agreements discussed above, we have various other license and collaboration agreements that are not individually material to our operating results or financial condition at this time. Pursuant to the terms of those agreements, we may be required to pay, or we may receive, additional amounts contingent upon the occurrence of various future events such as future discovery, development, regulatory or commercial milestones, which in the aggregate could be material. In addition, if any products related to these collaborations are approved for sale, we may be required to pay, or we may receive, royalties on future sales. The payment or receipt of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events, the likelihood of which cannot presently be determined.
