Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 4, 2026

• Under this accounting methodology, we calculate the effective interest rate on each financial royalty asset using a forecast of the expected cash flows to be received over the life of the financial royalty asset relative to the initial acquisition price.
• The measurement of income from our financial royalty assets requires significant judgments and estimates, including management’s judgment in forecasting the expected future cash flows of the underlying royalties and the expected duration of each financial royalty asset.
• Our cash flow forecasts are updated each reporting period primarily using sell-side equity research analysts’ consensus sales estimates.
• We then calculate our expected royalty receipts by applying our royalty terms to these consensus sales forecasts.
• As we update our forecasted cash flows on a periodic basis and recalculate the present value of the remaining future cash flows, any shortfall when compared to the carrying value of the financial royalty asset is recorded directly in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as non-cash provision expense.
• If, in a subsequent period, there is an increase in expected cash flows or if actual cash flows are greater than cash flows previously expected, we reverse the provision expense previously recorded in part or in full by recording a non-cash credit to the provision, or provision income.
• For example, in late 2014 we acquired the cystic fibrosis franchise and shortly after, declines in near-term sales forecasts of sell-side equity research analysts caused us to recognize non-cash provision expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• Over the course of the next 10 quarters, we continued to recognize non-cash provision expense because of these changes in sales forecasts, ultimately reaching a peak cumulative allowance of $1.30 billion by September 30, 2017.
• We calculate the effective interest rate using forecasted expected cash flows to be received over the life of the royalty asset relative to the initial acquisition price.
• Because we have limited protective rights with respect to each unfunded commitment once the funding is provided, we are required to recognize an allowance for current expected credit losses based on our estimate of probability of funding.
• We are required to reassess our estimates of current expected credit losses as of each reporting date, and any subsequent change to such allowances, which can be income or expense, is reflected within Provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
• The net income attributable to the continuing non-controlling interests related to the Continuing Investors Partnerships and the Holders of RP Holdings Class E Interests is expected to decline over time if the investors who indirectly own the RP Holdings Class B Interests and RP Holdings Class E Interests, respectively, conduct exchanges for our Class A ordinary shares.
