JOURNEY MEDICAL CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Journey Medical Corporation (“Journey” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company that primarily focuses on the selling and marketing of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of dermatological conditions. The Company’s current product portfolio includes eight FDA-approved prescription drugs for dermatological conditions that are marketed in the U.S. The Company acquires rights to products and product candidates by licensing or otherwise acquiring an ownership interest in, funding the research and development of, and eventually commercializing the products through its field sales organization.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (“Fortress” or “Parent”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2025, the Company had $21.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $20.3 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024, and working capital of $13.8 million at March 31, 2025, as compared to $13.0 million at December 31, 2024.

The Company relies primarily on cash on hand generated from sales of its pharmaceutical products to customers to fund its core operations. In addition, the Company has relied on the proceeds from its term loan Credit Facility (as defined below) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), and its at-the-market sales program with B. Riley to meet additional capital and liquidity needs, specifically to fund the research and development and commercialization of Emrosi.

The Company regularly evaluates market conditions, its liquidity profile, and financing alternatives, including out-licensing arrangements for its products, to enhance its capital structure. The Company may seek to raise capital through debt or equity financings to expand its product portfolio and for other strategic initiatives, which may include sales of securities under either the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333 - 269079), which was declared effective by the SEC on January 26, 2023 (the “2022 Shelf”), or a new registration statement, or in an unregistered, exempt transaction.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as a result of recurring losses, primarily a result of the research and development costs associated with Emrosi, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, JG Pharma, Inc. (“JG” or “JG Pharma”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. The Company has historically included amortization of acquired intangible assets within costs of goods sold on the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, “Costs of goods sold – product revenue” as presented in the consolidated statement of operations was disaggregated into “Costs of goods sold – (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets)” and “Amortization of acquired intangible assets”. This presentation has been conformed for all previous periods presented and has no impact on previously reported financial results.

Table of Contents

Emerging Growth Company

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include provisions for coupons, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, specialty pharmacy discounts, managed care rebates, product returns, and other allowances customary to the pharmaceutical industry. Significant estimates made by management also include inventory realization, valuation of intangible assets, useful lives of amortizable intangible assets and share-based compensation. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment, which reflects products for the treatment of dermatological conditions. The dermatological segment derives revenues from the sale of branded and authorized general prescription products that treat certain dermatological conditions. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer.

The CODM assesses performance for the dermatological segment and allocates resources based on consolidated net loss. The CODM uses net loss to monitor budget vs. actual results, which are presented quarterly, as well as evaluate performance and income generated in deciding how to reinvest profits. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). See Note 18 for segment information.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Not Yet Adopted

Assets and Licenses Acquired:

Emrosi^TM

Table of Contents

release oral minocycline that is being evaluated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea (the "Emrosi Agreement"). The Company acquired global rights to Emrosi, including in the U.S. and Europe, except that DRL has retained certain rights to the program in select markets, namely in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Brazil, Georgia, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, the People’s Republic of China, Russia, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Pursuant to the Emrosi Agreement, the Company made an upfront payment of $10.0 million. In addition, the Company made two developmental milestone payments in 2024. In April 2024, the Company made a $3.0 million milestone payment to DRL, based on FDA acceptance of the Company’s NDA application for Emrosi, and in December of 2024, the Company made a $15.0 million milestone payment to DRL, which was triggered by the November 1, 2024 FDA marketing approval of Emrosi. Upon the $15.0 million milestone payment, the assets related to Emrosi, including the NDA, regulatory documentation and intellectual property, transferred to the Company. Pursuant to the Emrosi Agreement, the Company may be required to make additional contingent regulatory, commercial, and corporate-based milestone payments to DRL, totaling up to $150.0 million. Royalties ranging from ten percent to fourteen percent are payable on net sales of the product. Royalties are payable in each country until the last-to-expire patent in such country expires. Royalties are subject to a 50% reduction in the event that a generic competitor launches in an applicable country where the Company markets and sells the product.

Qbrexza

In March 2021, the Company executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Qbrexza APA”) with Dermira, Inc., a subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company (“Dermira”). Pursuant to the terms of the Qbrexza APA, the Company acquired the rights to Qbrexza® (glycopyrronium), a prescription cloth towelette to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis in patients nine years of age or older. The Company paid the upfront fee of $12.5 million to Dermira. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Dermira up to $144.0 million in the aggregate upon the achievement of certain sales milestones. The royalty structure for the agreement is tiered with royalties for the first two years ranging from approximately 40% to 30%. Thereafter, royalties are approximately 12.0% to 19.0%. Royalty amounts are subject to certain reductions in the event there is a loss of exclusivity.

Accutane

In July 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license and supply agreement for Accutane (the “Accutane Agreement”) with DRL. Pursuant to the Accutane Agreement, the Company paid $5.0 million. Three additional milestone payments totaling $17.0 million are contingent upon the achievement of certain net sales milestones. The Company is required to pay royalties in an amount equal to a low-double digit percentage of net sales. The term of the Accutane Agreement is ten years and renewable upon mutual agreement. Each party may terminate the Accutane Agreement for an uncured material breach by the other party or for certain bankruptcy or insolvency related events. The Company may also terminate the Accutane Agreement without cause upon 180 days written notice to DRL.

Other License Agreements:

Maruho License Agreement

On August 31, 2023, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “New License Agreement”) with Maruho Ltd., the Company’s exclusive licensing partner in Japan (“Maruho”). Under the terms of the New License Agreement, the Company granted an exclusive license to develop and commercialize Qbrexza for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis in Korea and certain other Asian countries. Prior to the date of the New License Agreement, the Company and Maruho were party to an existing exclusive amended and restated license agreement (the “First A&R License Agreement”), under which Maruho acquired exclusive license rights to Qbrexza in Japan.

In connection with Journey’s entry into the New License Agreement, Journey and Maruho also entered into the Second Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement (the “Second A&R License Agreement”), which supersedes the First A&R License Agreement. The Second A&R License Agreement contains modifications that remove Maruho’s obligation to pay Journey royalties on its net sales of Rapifort (the Japanese equivalent of Qbrexza) in Japan for sales occurring after October 1, 2023 and removes Maruho’s obligation to pay $10.0 million to Journey in the event that Maruho achieves net sales of at least ¥4 billion (yen) of Rapifort during a single fiscal year. All other remaining potential milestone payment obligations, which aggregate to $45.0 million, remain in full force and effect.

Cutia License Agreement

In January 2022, as a part of the Vyne APA, the Company assumed a license agreement with Cutia Therapeutics (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong biopharmaceutical company with experience in developing pharmaceutical products in the greater China region (the “Cutia Agreement”). Pursuant to the agreement, Cutia was granted an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize Amzeeq (topical 4% minocycline foam) and Zilxi (topical 1.5% minocycline foam) in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. The Company has agreed to supply the finished Licensed Products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use at an agreed price. On November 11, 2024, Cutia received marketing approval for topical 4% minocycline foam from the National Medical Products Administration (the “NMPA”) of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The approval triggered a $1.0 million milestone payment to the Company. The $1.0 million milestone payment was recorded as a component of other revenue on the approval date of November 11, 2024, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. The Company received the cash payment from Cutia of $1.0 million on January 2, 2025.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:


	March 31, 2025

Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	21,070	$	—	$	—	$	21,070

The Company did not carry any level 2 or level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. No transfers occurred between level 1, level 2, and level 3 instruments during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Under the terms of the Shared Services Agreement, the Company will reimburse Fortress for the salary and benefit costs associated with these employees based upon actual hours worked on Journey-related projects following the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, which occurred in November 2021. In addition, the Company reimburses Fortress for various payroll-related costs and selling, general and administrative costs incurred by Fortress for the benefit of the Company.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded related party expenses to Fortress of approximately $11,703 and $9,361, respectively. The due to related party liability at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and primarily relate to reimbursable expenses incurred by Fortress on behalf of the Company. The Company would have incurred these costs irrespective of the relationship with Fortress.

Fortress Income Tax

At March 31, 2025, 42.68% of all classes of the Company’s outstanding common stock was owned by Fortress. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering of securities in 2021, the Company had been filing consolidated federal tax returns and consolidated or combined state tax returns in multiple jurisdictions with Fortress. The Company may still be required to file combined tax returns in certain “combined filing states.” These jurisdictions generally require corporations engaged in unitary business and meet the capital stock requirement of fifty percent to file a combined state tax return.

Additionally, see Note 16 below for a discussion of income taxes.

SWK Credit Facility

On December 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SWK. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the original principal amount of up to $20.0 million. On the closing date of the facility, the Company drew $15.0 million. On June 26, 2024, the Company drew the remaining $5.0 million under the Credit Facility. On July 9, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with SWK. The Amendment increased the original principal amount of the Credit Facility from $20.0 million to $25.0 million. The $5.0 million of additional principal added in the Amendment was contractually required to be drawn upon FDA approval of Emrosi, subject to the Company receiving approval on or before June 30, 2025. The Company received FDA approval for Emrosi on November 1, 2024 and the Company drew on the remaining $5.0 million on November 25, 2024.

Table of Contents

Term loans under the Credit Facility (“Term Loans”) mature on December 27, 2027, accrue interest which is payable quarterly in arrears and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month term SOFR (subject to a SOFR floor of 5%) plus 7.75%. The interest rate resets quarterly.

Beginning in February 2026, the Company is required to repay a portion of the outstanding principal of the Term Loans quarterly in an amount equal to 7.5% of the principal amount of funded Term Loans, with any remaining principal balance due on the maturity date. If the total revenue of the Company, measured on a trailing twelve-month basis, is greater than $70.0 million as of December 31, 2025, the principal repayment start date is extended from February 2026 to February 2027, at which point the Company is required to repay a portion of the outstanding principal of the Term Loans quarterly in an amount equal to 15% of the principal amount of funded Term Loans, with any remaining principal balance due on the maturity date.

The Company may at any time prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans in whole or in part. Prepayment of the Term Loans is subject to payment of a prepayment premium equal to (i) 1% of the Term Loans prepaid if the Term Loans are prepaid on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) 0% if prepaid thereafter.

Upon repayment in full of the Term Loans, the Company will pay an exit fee equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans. Additionally, the Company paid an origination fee of $0.2 million on the closing date of the Credit Facility and incurred issuance costs of $0.2 million, both of which have been recorded as a debt discount. The Company is accreting the carrying value of the Term Loans to the original principal balance plus the exit fee over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The amortization of the discount is accounted for as interest expense. The effective interest rate on the Term Loans as of March 31, 2025 was 14.6%. The fair value of the debt approximates its carrying value.

The Credit Facility also includes both revenue and liquidity covenants, restrictions as to payment of dividends, and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2025, the contractual maturities of the long-term debt, including the payment of the exit fee, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the Journey Medical 2015 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) authorizing the Company to grant shares of common stock to eligible employees, directors, and consultants in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options and other types of grants. The amount, terms, and exercisability provisions of grants are determined by the Board of Directors. At the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on June 24, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved, among other matters, a second amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan by 3,000,000 to 10,642,857. At March 31, 2025 there were 2,825,574 shares available for issuance under the Plan.

The Company grants stock options to employees, non-employees and Directors with exercise prices equal to the closing price of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date that the options are granted. Options granted have a term of ten years from the grant date. Options granted generally vest over a four-year period. Compensation cost for stock options is charged against operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model.

In 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the Journey Medical Corporation 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2023 ESPP”). The Company initially reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for future issuance under the 2023 ESPP. As of March 31, 2025, 189,895 shares were available for issuance under the 2023 ESPP.

The following table summarizes the components of share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Options vested and exercisable at March 31, 2025	2,035,685	$	1.08	$	9,809,890	2.07

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $57,000 and $73,000, respectively, of stock option compensation expense was charged against operations. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 40,043 and 55,375 shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, respectively, and received proceeds of $74,886 and $67,514, respectively. At March 31, 2025, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to all unvested options of $0.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the previous table reflects the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock

options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2025. The intrinsic value of the Company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s RSUs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025:



		Weighted

Forfeited	(10,000)		3.90
Unvested balance at March 31, 2025	2,279,540	$	4.33

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense related to RSUs was charged against operations. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company issued 50,421 and 211,028 shares of common stock, respectively, upon vesting of RSU’s amounting to $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in total aggregate fair market value. At March 31, 2025, 2,279,540 RSUs remained unvested and there was approximately $4.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years.

On July 9, 2024, the Board approved and adopted the Journey Medical Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which is considered a non - qualified deferred compensation plan. As part of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Company offers certain non - employee members of the Board (“Director Participants”) and select executive - level employees (the “Executive Participants”) the ability to defer up to 100% of the payment for services and annual bonuses, respectively, in the form of RSUs. As of March 31, 2025, the executive participants deferred 61,621 shares of Journey Medical Inc. common stock upon the vesting of RSU's.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2023 ESPP provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their eligible earnings toward a semi-annual purchase of the Company’s common stock. The 2023 ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The employee’s purchase price is derived from a formula based on the closing price of the common stock on the first day of the offering period versus the closing price on the last date of purchase (or, if not a trading day, on the immediately preceding trading day). The offering period under the 2023 ESPP has a duration of six months, and the purchase price with respect to each offering period beginning on or after such date is, until otherwise amended, equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the commencement of the applicable six-month offering period or (ii) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date. The Company estimates the fair value of the common stock under the 2023 ESPP using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant for the offering period beginning February 1, 2025 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the straight-line attribution approach with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate (4.3%); expected term (0.5 years); expected volatility (70.1%); and an expected dividend yield (0%). The Company recorded $25,387 of stock-based compensation under the 2023 ESPP for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there was unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $34,415 related to the current ESPP offering period, which ends July 31, 2025.

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. Management has considered the Company’s history of book and tax income and losses incurred since inception, and the other positive and negative evidence, and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any significant change to the unrecognized tax benefit balance.

NOTE 17. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company accounts for and discloses net earnings (loss) per share using the treasury stock method. Net earnings (loss) per share, or basic earnings (loss) per share, is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net earnings (loss) per share assuming dilutions, or diluted earnings (loss) per share, is computed by reflecting the potential dilution from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and the issuance of non-vested restricted stock units.

Table of Contents

The Company’s basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:


	Three-Month Periods Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Basic and diluted		22,611,040		19,757,449
Potentially dilutive securities:
Unvested restricted stock units		2,279,540		1,973,395
Stock options		1,687,854		1,624,382
Total potentially dilutive securities		3,967,394		3,597,777

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, including unvested restricted stock and options have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, as the effect would be to reduce the loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted income loss per share is the same for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable segment net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the following:

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act for emerging growth companies include presentation of only two years of audited financial statements in our annual reports on Form 10-K, an exemption from the requirement to provide an auditor’s report on internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, an exemption from any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation and less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that (i) we are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that either (i) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. As a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and smaller reporting companies are permitted to delay adoption of certain recent accounting pronouncements discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this report on Form 10-Q.

Total net product revenues of $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 were consistent with $13.0 million of net product revenues for the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2025 includes $2.0 million of incremental net product revenue related to the U.S. commercial launch of Emrosi™, offset by a decrease in Accutane, as a result of lower sales volume driven by recent market competition. Our Legacy products decreased by $0.4 million mainly due to continued generic competition for Targadox.

Gross-to-net sales accruals are primarily a function of product sales volume, mix of products sold, and contractual discounts or rebates. Our reserves for gross-to-net sales allowances were $15.5 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $9.9 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $5.5 million. The increase is due to the coupon rebate allowance related to the launch and commercialization of Emrosi.

Cost of Goods Sold - (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets)

Cost of goods sold - (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets) decreased by $1.2 million, or 20%, to $4.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from $6.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, due to lower overall product cost of goods related to product sales mix, driven mainly by the decrease in Accutane revenue.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets

Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased by $0.3 million, or 31%, to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, driven by the addition of the Emrosi acquired intangible asset upon our payment to DRL of the milestone payment triggered by the FDA’s approval of Emrosi in November 2024.

Research and Development

Research and development costs were nil in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2024 includes Emrosi pre-approval project expenses, milestones and fees.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 26%, to $10.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from $8.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the incremental operational activities related to the launch and commercialization of Emrosi.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net increased by $0.4 million, to $0.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from $0.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to a higher principal balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement with SWK (each as defined below) during the three-months ended March 31, 2025 of $25.0 million as compared to $15.0 million during the three-months ended March 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2025, we had $21.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $20.3 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024, and working capital of $13.8 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $13.0 million at December 31, 2024.

We rely primarily on cash on hand generated from the sales of our pharmaceutical products to our customers to fund our core operations. In addition, we have relied on the proceeds from our term loan Credit Facility (as defined below) with SWK (as defined below) and our at-the-market sales program with B. Riley to meet additional capital and liquidity needs, specifically to fund the research and development and commercialization of Emrosi.

We regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile, and financing alternatives, including out-licensing arrangements for our products, to enhance our capital structure. We may seek to raise capital through debt or equity financings, to expand our product portfolio, and for other strategic initiatives, which may include sales of securities under either our 2022 Shelf (as defined below) or a new registration statement. Additionally, as a result of recurring losses, primarily a result of the research and development costs associated with Emrosi, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Sources of Liquidity

SWK Credit Facility

On December 27, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”). The Credit Agreement originally provided for a term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the original principal amount of up to $20.0 million. On the closing date, we drew $15.0 million. On June 26, 2024, we drew the remaining $5.0 million under the Credit Facility. Loans under the Credit Facility (the “Term Loans”) mature on December 27, 2027, and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a SOFR floor of 5%) plus 7.75%. The interest rate resets quarterly. Interest

Table of Contents

payments began in February 2024 and are paid quarterly. Beginning in February 2026, we are required to repay a portion of the outstanding principal of the Term Loans quarterly in an amount equal to 7.5% of the principal amount of funded Term Loans.

On July 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment increased the original principal amount of the Credit Facility from $20.0 million to $25.0 million. The $5.0 million of additional principal added in the Amendment was contractually required to be drawn upon FDA approval of Emrosi, subject to us receiving approval on or before June 30, 2025. The FDA approved Emrosi on November 1, 2024, and we subsequently drew the remaining $5.0 million. The Credit Facility also includes both revenue and liquidity covenants, restrictions as to payment of dividends, and is secured by substantially all of our assets. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

At-the-Market Offering

On December 30, 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269079) (the “2022 Shelf”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2023. This shelf registration statement covers the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and units. In connection with the 2022 Shelf, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) relating to shares of the Company’s common stock with B. Riley Securities, Inc. We may offer and sell up to 4,900,000 shares of our common stock, from time to time, under the Sales Agreement. During the three-months ended March 31, 2025, we issued and sold 834,722 shares of common stock under the 2022 Shelf, generating net proceeds of $4.1 million. At March 31, 2025, 1,752,265 shares remain available for issuance under the Sales Agreement.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $2.2 million, to $2.8 million, from net cash flows used by operating activities of $5.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by the decrease in our net loss period-to-period, offset by changes in net working capital compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable related to the launch of Emrosi.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 increased by $2.0 million, to $3.6 million, from $1.6 million of cash flows provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase is driven primarily by the net proceeds from issuances of common stock under our ATM program.

Material Cash Requirements

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual obligations that contain cash requirements of which the most significant currently include the following:

●

We are required to make regular payments under the SWK Credit Facility. Based on the amount currently outstanding under the SWK facility and current interest rates, and assuming we do not make further draws under the SWK facility, we expect to make the following payments:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2025, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent quarter with respect to our operations; which materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

To our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings pending against us, other than routine actions, administrative proceedings, and other actions not deemed material, that are expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In the ordinary course of business, however, the Company may be subject to both insured and uninsured litigation. Suits and claims may be brought against the Company by customers, suppliers, partners and/or third parties (including tort claims for personal injury arising from clinical trials of the Company’s product candidates and property damage) alleging deficiencies in performance, breach of contract, etc., and seeking resulting alleged damages.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have disclosed below and under the heading “Risk Factors” in the 2024 Form 10-K a number of risks which may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. You should carefully consider these Risk Factors and other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

The Company’s business may be materially adversely affected by the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures implemented by the U.S. and other governments.

Recently there have been significant changes to United States trade policies, sanctions and tariffs, including, but not limited to, trade policies and tariffs affecting products imported from outside of the U.S. that could have negative impacts on our business operations. In this respect, on February 1, 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, which were subsequently suspended for a period of one month, and imposed substantial additional blanket tariffs on imports from China. In April 2025, the U.S. government announced additional 10% blanket tariffs on all imported goods. On April 14, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security launched an investigation into the effects on U.S. national security as a result of imports of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients, and on May 5, 2025, the U.S. government announced plans to impose tariffs on pharmaceutical imports to the U.S. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions between the U.S. and other countries in the international community. In response to the U.S. tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Currently, we import a large portion of our finished products from countries outside of the U.S., including, most significantly, from India. These tariffs or any new or additional tariffs on goods imported to the U.S. from India, or other countries, could increase the cost of sourcing of our products and therefore reduce our margins, reduce our net sales and/or cause us to increase prices. Further, the continued threats of tariffs, trade restrictions and trade barriers could have a generally disruptive impact on the global economy and, therefore, negatively impact our sales, overall business and results of operations. The impact of any adopted, new or proposed tariffs, trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements on our business is subject to a number of factors that we cannot predict, including, but not limited to, the scope, nature, amount, effective date and duration of any such measures. Such tariffs, trade restrictions or domestic sourcing requirements, if implemented, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Our products and future product candidates may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party coverage and reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives, which could harm our business.

The ability to successfully commercialize any product candidate that receives marketing authorization depends in part on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for these products and related treatments will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Government authorities and other third-party payors, such as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, decide which medications they will pay for and establish reimbursement levels. A primary trend in the healthcare industry in the United States and elsewhere is cost containment.

The United States and many foreign jurisdictions have enacted or proposed legislative and regulatory changes affecting the healthcare system, including implementing cost-containment programs to limit the growth of government-paid healthcare costs, including price controls, restrictions on reimbursement and requirements for substitution of generic products for branded prescription drugs. In the United States, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Affordable Care Act”), was intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain the growth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose

Table of Contents

new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. We expect that changes to the Affordable Care Act, the Medicare and Medicaid programs, changes allowing the federal government to directly negotiate drug prices and changes stemming from other healthcare reform measures, especially with regard to healthcare access, financing or other legislation in individual states, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and in additional downward pressure on the price that can be charged for drug products. In addition, on May 12, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order implementing the concept of most-favored nation pricing. Under this order, the Department of Health and Human Services, in coordination with other federal agencies, is directed to take actions to ensure that the price of prescription drugs paid by federal health insurers, including Medicare and Medicaid, is in line with the prices paid in comparably developed nations. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payers.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) contains substantial drug pricing reforms, including the establishment of a drug price negotiation program within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that would require manufacturers to charge a negotiated “maximum fair price” for certain selected drugs or pay an excise tax for noncompliance, the establishment of rebate payment requirements on manufacturers of certain drugs payable under Medicare Parts B and D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation, and requires manufacturers to provide discounts on Part D drugs. Orphan drugs that treat only one rare disease are exempt from the IRA’s drug negotiation program. Substantial penalties can be assessed for noncompliance with the drug pricing provisions in the IRA.

At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. Additional federal, state and foreign healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future.

The implementation of any of the cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms discussed above may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our products.

Legislative and regulatory proposals have been made to expand post-approval requirements and restrict sales and promotional activities for drugs. It is uncertain whether additional legislative changes will be enacted, or whether the FDA regulations, guidance or interpretations will be changed, or what the impact of such may be. In addition, increased Congressional scrutiny of the FDA’s approval process, as well as staffing cuts effected at the FDA in early 2025, may significantly delay or prevent marketing approval, and the industry could become subject to more stringent product labeling and post-marketing testing and other requirements, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the development and commercialization of drug products.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the period covered by this report, we have not sold any equity securities in transactions that were not registered under the Securities Act, and neither we nor our affiliates have purchased any equity securities issued by us.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not Applicable.
