the business is exceptional. the capital structure is a different conversation.
$1.25B charge. hits GAAP. also hits non-GAAP.
$INCY just acquired Vega Therapeutics and disclosed the IPR&D charge bleeds through to the adjusted number. the one Wall Street models off of. the one that's supposed to strip this stuff out.
when they did the Escient deal in 2024 for $750M, the charge stayed in GAAP only.
