Key Operational Highlights

Fanapt^® (iloperidone)

• Vanda previously announced positive results in the Phase III clinical study of Fanapt^® in acute manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults. Vanda continues to pursue U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Fanapt^® in bipolar I disorder.

HETLIOZ^® (tasimelteon)

• Vanda is continuing to pursue FDA approvals for HETLIOZ^® in the indications of insomnia and jet lag disorder.
• In May 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the Federal Circuit) affirmed the lower court ruling in favor of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (Apotex) in the HETLIOZ^® Abbreviated New Drug Applications litigation. Vanda disagrees with the Federal Circuit's ruling, and in June 2023, Vanda requested a rehearing from the Federal Circuit. On July 18, 2023, the Federal Circuit requested a response from Teva and Apotex, which is due August 1, 2023.

Tradipitant

2023 Financial Guidance

Given uncertainties surrounding the U.S. market for HETLIOZ^® for the treatment of Non-24 as a result of the ongoing HETLIOZ^® patent litigation and the at-risk launch of a generic version of HETLIOZ^®, Vanda is unable to provide 2023 financial guidance at this time. Vanda will continue to evaluate its ability to provide financial guidance as the year progresses.

HETLIOZ^® net product sales will likely decline in future periods, potentially significantly, related to the at-risk launch of a generic version of HETLIOZ^® in the U.S.
