DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Organization and Description of Business Travere Therapeutics, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Travere” and the “Company”) refers to Travere Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as well as its subsidiaries. Travere is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Diego, California focused on identifying, developing and delivering life-changing therapies to people living with rare kidney and metabolic diseases. The Company regularly evaluates and, where appropriate, acts on opportunities to expand its product pipeline and approved products through licenses and acquisitions of products in areas that will serve rare disease patients with serious unmet medical need and that the Company believes offer attractive growth characteristics. Discontinued Operations - Sale of Bile Acid Product Portfolio In July 2023, Travere entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Mirum Pharmaceuticals" or “Mirum”), pursuant to which Mirum agreed to purchase from Travere substantially all of the assets primarily related to Travere’s business of development, manufacture (including synthesis, formulation, finishing or packaging) and commercialization of Chenodal and Cholbam (also known as Kolbam, and together with Chenodal, the “Products”) (collectively, the "bile acid business"). In August 2023, the Company and Mirum consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”). In connection with the Closing, Mirum paid Travere an upfront cash payment of $210.0 million. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Travere is eligible to receive up to $235.0 million upon the achievement of certain milestones based on specified amounts of annual net sales (tiered from $125.0 million to $500.0 million) of the Products. The Company has reflected the bile acid business as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Mirum achieved the first such milestone based on its annual net sales in 2025, and Travere recognized a milestone payment of $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 in discontinued operations, as a result of such achievement. See Note 19 for further discussion. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout the Notes to the consolidated financial statements relate to the Company's continuing operations. Approved Products: FILSPARI® (sparsentan) In September 2024, the FDA granted full approval of FILSPARI® (sparsentan) to slow kidney function decline in adults with primary Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk of disease progression. FILSPARI had previously been granted accelerated approval in February 2023 based on the surrogate marker of proteinuria. Full approval was based on positive long-term confirmatory results from the PROTECT Study demonstrating that FILSPARI significantly slowed kidney function decline over two years compared to irbesartan. FILSPARI is the only oral, once-daily, non-immunosuppressive medication that directly targets glomerular injury in the kidney by blocking two critical pathways of IgAN disease progression (endothelin-1 and angiotensin II). In September 2021, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the "CSL Vifor License Agreement") with Vifor (International) Ltd. ("CSL Vifor"). In April 2024, the Company and CSL Vifor announced that the European Commission had granted conditional marketing authorization (“CMA”) for FILSPARI (sparsentan) for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ("UPCR") ≥0.75 g/g), and in April 2025, the Company and CSL Vifor announced that the European Commission had converted the CMA into a standard marketing authorization (“MA”) for FILSPARI for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or UPCR ≥0.75 g/g). The MA was granted for all member states of the European Union, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. As a result of the standard MA approval, the Company received a regulatory milestone payment of $17.5 million in May 2025 under the terms of the CSL Vifor License Agreement. FILSPARI became commercially available in Europe under the CMA in August 2024, with an initial launch in Germany and Austria.…
