“In the second quarter of 2024, Acadia delivered $242.0 million in net product sales, highlighted by 11% year-over-year growth in NUPLAZID net sales and 11% sequential growth in DAYBUE net sales,” said Steve Davis, Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, we are advancing enrollment in our Phase 3 trial in Prader-Willi syndrome and our Phase 2 / Phase 3 program in Alzheimer’s disease psychosis.

Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues, comprised of net product sales from NUPLAZID® and DAYBUE, were $242.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, up 46% year-over-year. Total revenues were $447.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net product sales of NUPLAZID were $157.4 million and $142.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 11% year-over-year increase in net product sales of NUPLAZID included 6% growth in unit sales in 2024 compared to 2023. Net product sales of NUPLAZID were $287.3 million and $260.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net product sales of DAYBUE were $84.6 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net product sales of DAYBUE were $160.5 million and $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in net product sales of DAYBUE was due to the growth in DAYBUE unit sales.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $76.2 million, compared to $58.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was mainly due to increased costs from ACP-101, ACP-204 and early-stage programs, partially offset by a reduction in costs associated with our pimavanserin negative symptoms of schizophrenia program. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development expenses were $135.9 million and $127.9 million, respectively. The increase was mainly due to increased costs from ACP-101, ACP-204 and early stage programs, partially offset by the elimination of pre-FDA approval trofinetide commercial supply expenses that were included
in the previous year, as well as a reduction in costs associated with our pimavanserin negative symptoms of schizophrenia program.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $117.1 million and $96.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses were $225.1 million and $197.2 million, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in both periods was primarily driven by upfront costs related to a new consumer activation program to support the NUPLAZID franchise, increased marketing costs in the U.S. to support DAYBUE, and investments to support commercialization of trofinetide outside the U.S.
Net Income (Loss)
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Acadia reported net income of $33.4 million, or $0.20 per common share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per common share, for the same period in 2023. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included $15.7 million and $15.2, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Acadia reported net income of $49.9 million, or $0.30 per common share, compared to a net loss of $41.9 million, or $0.26 per common share. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included $30.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $29.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Cash and Investments
At June 30, 2024, Acadia’s cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $500.9 million, compared to $438.9 million at December 31, 2023.

About NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin)
Pimavanserin is a selective serotonin inverse agonist and antagonist preferentially targeting 5-HT2A receptors. These receptors are thought to play an important role in neuropsychiatric disorders. In vitro,
pimavanserin demonstrated no appreciable binding affinity for dopamine (including D2), histamine, muscarinic, or adrenergic receptors. Pimavanserin was approved for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2016 under the trade name NUPLAZID.
About DAYBUE™ (trofinetide)
Trofinetide is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring molecule known as the tripeptide glycine-proline-glutamate (GPE). The mechanism by which trofinetide exerts therapeutic effects in patients with Rett syndrome is unknown. Trofinetide was approved for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2023 under the trade name DAYBUE.
