moderate-to-severe acute pain. We are also preparing for the anticipated launch of povetacicept, a potential treatment for IgA

In the third quarter of 2025, our net product revenues increased to $3.1 billion as compared to $2.8 billion in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to continued strong patient demand for TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO and early contributions from three ongoing launches.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
