Lee, Pacira\u2019s CEO, established a new vision for the Company in January 2025, implementing the 5&#215;30 strategy for long-term stockholder value creation.<\/p>\n<p>This focused, five-pillar plan is reinvigorating growth within our existing commercial business and advancing a more balanced portfolio of revenue by 2030 through the execution of five key goals: patients served, product revenue, profitability, pipeline development and partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>With the first year of 5&#215;30 execution behind us, our <strong>progress across all five goals is clear<\/strong>, and we are pleased to have <strong>entered 2026<\/strong><strong>stronger than at any point in our history<\/strong>. Since launching 5&#215;30, Pacira\u2019s stock is up over 30%<sup>1<\/sup> and we delivered record performance in 2025 including total revenues of $726.4 million, GAAP Gross Margins of 79.4% and Non-GAAP Gross Margins of 81.2%.<sup>3<\/sup> We believe there is significant upside potential given our strong fundamentals and robust trajectory for growth, across each pillar.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n          <strong>Patients:<\/strong> We successfully treated over 2.5 million patients in 2025, which puts us on track to reach 3 million patients annually by 2030. Our confidence in this growth trajectory is driven by certain key factors, including the NOPAIN Act catalyst. The Non-Opioids Prevent Addiction in the Nation Act (NOPAIN Act) went into effect on January 1, 2025, and provides separate Medicare reimbursement for EXPAREL and iovera\u00b0 in outpatient settings. In a recent survey of approximately 750 physicians and pharmacy leaders, 92% stated that they believe NOPAIN is contributing to reductions in opioid prescribing. With NOPAIN as a catalyst, Pacira has been able to expand its commercial coverage, securing reimbursement outside the bundle for 110 million lives across commercial and government plans, which in turn helps to expand patient access to best-practice opioid-sparing pain management.<\/p>\n<p>Indication expansion also serves as a driver of patient volume growth. We recently completed enrollment of our Phase 3 study of ZILRETTA in shoulder osteoarthritis (OA), with topline results expected before the end of 2026. We are also advancing a registrational study of iovera\u00b0 as a novel treatment for spasticity, with topline results expected before the end of 2026. Combined with our 2025 growth, these factors provide clear visibility into reaching our target.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n          <strong>Product Revenue:<\/strong> We have strong momentum towards our goal of double-digit compounded annual topline product revenue growth. EXPAREL continues to outperform last year\u2019s volume growth, with our first quarter 2026 results delivering increased net sales of $143.3 million versus $136.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. In 2025, EXPAREL achieved year-over-year volume growth of 6.2%. Of note, EXPAREL volume growth achieved a meaningful lift in the second half of 2025 with volume growth of 8% over the prior year period, nearly double that of the first half of the year, demonstrating the success of our commercial strategy and the expanding impact of NOPAIN. In addition, in the first quarter of 2026 ZILRETTA net product sales were $26.8 million, a 15 percent increase over the prior year period, and iovera\u00b0 net product sales were $6.2 million, a 21 percent increase over the prior year period.<\/p>\n<p>Key drivers of EXPAREL\u2019s growth trajectory can be attributed largely to:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type:none\">\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li>\n              <em>Enhanced intellectual property protection<\/em>. We strengthened the long-term durability of the franchise with 21 <em>Orange Book<\/em>-listed patents and key intellectual property (IP) milestones that significantly extend the EXPAREL exclusivity runway against current and potential future generic challengers.<\/li>\n<li>\n              <em>Greater long-term visibility.<\/em> Increased clarity and risk mitigation due to the strong volume-limited settlement we secured in April 2025. Resolving this multi-year EXPAREL patent litigation, which started in 2021, provides clarity on revenue visibility and defines the timing and structure of potential generic entry, reducing uncertainty around the EXPAREL revenue profile.<\/li>\n<li>\n              <em>Expanded commercial reach through partnerships<\/em>. Commercial partnerships expand our reach into untapped U.S. and international markets without building new infrastructure, including EXPAREL\u2019s expansion into select Asian-Pacific markets through LG Chem and ZILRETTA co-promotion via Johnson &amp; Johnson MedTech.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n          <strong>Profitability:<\/strong> With record-high 2025 GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins, we have a clear line of sight to achieve a five-percentage point increase in non-GAAP gross margins by 2030.<sup>3<\/sup> We are focused on several manufacturing process and continuous improvement initiatives to benefit gross margins for our products, including our recent transition to two enhanced, larger-scale 200-liter EXPAREL manufacturing suites and targeted manufacturing strategy improvements. We also have improved the durability of our margins with the expanded EXPAREL patent estate and a litigation settlement with a volume-limited entry beginning in 2030.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong>Pipeline Advancement:<\/strong> We are advancing an innovative clinical-stage pipeline with two promising Phase 2 clinical programs with the potential to drive stockholder value well beyond 2030.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PCRX-201 (enekinragene inzadenovec), our novel, locally administered gene therapy for OA, has the potential to transform OA treatment with a first-in-class localized IL1-Ra gene therapy, a derisked mechanism to reduce inflammation. In a Phase 1 study of 72 patients with knee OA, more than 70% of patients experienced a 50% or greater improvement in pain and stiffness versus the baseline at weeks 16 and 78. With a multi-billion global market opportunity and zero new modalities approved in the last 20 years, we believe PCRX-201 would be well positioned to capture meaningful market share and further expand our leadership (along with ZILRETTA and iovera\u00b0) in early intervention OA pain management.<\/li>\n<li>PCRX-2002 is a complementary, long-acting, ropivacaine-based local analgesic for postsurgical pain that we in-licensed in November of 2025 from AmacaThera, Inc. In a Phase 1 study, PCRX-2002 demonstrated a sustained release of ropivacaine through 14 days. This asset has the potential to complement EXPAREL as an easy-to-use, longer-acting therapy with patent protection extending to 2042 and, importantly, expand our leadership in postsurgical pain management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These programs put us on course for our goal of five novel programs in development by 2030, with PCRX-201 having the potential to deliver topline accretion as we move beyond 2030. We are now entering a catalyst-rich period, with key 2026 readouts expected from Part A of our Phase 2 study of PCRX-201 in knee OA, as well as from our registrational studies for ZILRETTA in shoulder OA and iovera\u00b0 in spasticity. We are confident that the growth initiatives we put in place for ZILRETTA and iovera\u00b0 are beginning to deliver results and expand their positions in early intervention OA pain management.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n          <strong>Partnerships:<\/strong> We are utilizing strategic partnerships with leading companies to access new sources of revenue by expanding our commercial reach into untapped U.S. and international markets. In 2025, we signed a strategic co-promotion agreement with Johnson &amp; Johnson MedTech for ZILRETTA in OA knee pain, leveraging Johnson &amp; Johnson MedTech\u2019s specialized early intervention sales infrastructure. This collaboration significantly extends the reach of ZILRETTA beyond orthopedic practices into additional physician specialties, including sports medicine, pain management and rheumatology.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, we signed a licensing and distribution agreement with LG Chem, granting them exclusive rights to commercialize EXPAREL in select Asia-Pacific markets (beginning with South Korea and Thailand). Revenues realized under this agreement are expected to begin in 2027 and extend into the mid-2040s.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>PACIRA\u2019S FIRST QUARTER RESULTS REINFORCE CONFIDENCE THAT <\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>WE ARE ON THE RIGHT STRATEGIC PATH <\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>2026 is off to a strong start for the business.

These documents, including the 2026 Proxy Statement (and any amendments or supplements thereto) and other documents filed by Pacira with the SEC, are, or will be when filed, available for no charge on the SEC\u2019s website at https:\/\/www.sec.gov and on Pacira\u2019s investor relations website at https:\/\/investor.pacira.com.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Non-GAAP Financial Information<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>This document contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) \u2014 Non-GAAP Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) \u2014 because these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of items that management believes affect comparability or underlying business trends.<\/p>\n<p>These measures supplement Pacira\u2019s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pacira management uses these measures to better analyze its financial results, estimate its future gross margin and to help make managerial decisions. In management\u2019s opinion, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of Pacira\u2019s financial statements by providing greater transparency into the ongoing operating performance of Pacira and its future outlook. Such measures should not be deemed to be an alternative to GAAP requirements. The non-GAAP measures presented here are also unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP disclosures released by other companies.
