Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In August 2021, we entered into a revolving credit and guaranty agreement, which was subsequently amended in May 2023 and June 2024 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Incyte Corporation, as borrower, subsidiary Incyte Holdings Corporation, as a guarantor, a group of lenders (the “Lenders”), and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have committed to provide an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million. The June 2024 amendment to the Credit Agreement extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from August 2024 to June 2027. We may increase the maximum revolving commitments or add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Credit Agreement, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, in an amount not to exceed (1) $250.0 million plus (2) an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, our pro forma consolidated leverage ratio would not exceed 0.25:1.00 above its consolidated leverage ratio in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such increase.

Loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to either (a) a base rate (but not less than 1.00%) plus an applicable rate per annum varying from 0.125% to 0.875% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio or (b) a rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (but not less than 0.00%), plus an applicable rate per annum varying from 1.125% to 1.875% depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. Commitment fees payable on the undrawn amount range from 0.150% per annum to 0.225% per annum, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. We may, at our option, prepay any borrowings under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty, subject to customary exceptions.

As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial and operational covenants under the terms of the Credit Agreement and there were no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit outstanding.

Contingencies

In the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in lawsuits, proceedings, and other disputes, including commercial, intellectual property, regulatory, employment, and other matters. We record a reserve for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

We have entered into the collaboration agreements described in Note 7, as well as various other collaboration agreements that are not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to our operating results or financial condition at this time. We may in the future seek to license additional rights relating to technologies or drug development candidates in connection with our drug discovery and development programs. Under these agreements, we may be required to pay upfront fees, milestone payments, and royalties on sales of future products.

We brought a lawsuit against the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) alleging that a recent regulation issued by CMS on the definition of “line extension” for purposes of the Medicaid rebate program is too broad and has the unintended consequence of treating OPZELURA as a “line extension” of JAKAFI under this program. We believe that such a reading would violate CMS's statutory authority and be arbitrary and capricious, given that OPZELURA, among other differentiators, is indicated to treat entirely different medical conditions and entirely different patient populations than JAKAFI. As of December 31, 2024, we have accrued approximately $127.6 million within accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, relating to the incremental rebates that would be owed were OPZELURA considered a line extension of JAKAFI. The impact on OPZELURA gross to net deductions for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, is approximately 6.3%. If OPZELURA is not treated as a line extension of JAKAFI, this would result in a reversal of our accrual and a lower future gross to net deduction for OPZELURA.

In addition, as described in Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have an outstanding contractual dispute with Novartis relating to royalties on JAKAFI net sales within the United States.
