Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenues increased 15.3% in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024, driven by a 5% increase in unit price and a 9.5% increase in sales volume of Ameluz®.
• Cost of Revenue Reduction: Cost of revenues related to related parties decreased by 41.8% in Q2 2025 due to a reduced cost structure under the Second Amended and Restated License and Supply Agreement (Second A&R Ameluz LSA).
• Operating Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 33.0% in Q2 2025, primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in legal costs related to patent claims. R&D expenses increased by 40.1% due to the assumption of clinical trial activities in the U.S.
• Non-Operating Items: The gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities decreased significantly from $5.44 million in Q2 2024 to $0.15 million in Q2 2025, contributing to the wider net loss.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Going Concern Warning: The company has disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the report date due to an accumulated deficit of $126.9 million and recurring operating losses.
• Strategic Transaction: On June 30, 2025, Biofrontera signed a binding Term Sheet to acquire all U.S. rights to Ameluz® and RhodoLED® from the Biofrontera Group. This will replace the current transfer pricing model with a 12% royalty (15% if revenue exceeds $65 million). Completion is expected by September 30, 2025.
• Financing Activity: The company received $8.5 million in proceeds from a private placement of Series C Preferred Stock (first tranche) on June 30, 2025, recorded as an advance from stockholders. A second tranche of $2.5 million is expected upon closing the Strategic Transaction.
• Nasdaq Compliance: The company received notices of non-compliance with Nasdaq listing rules regarding minimum bid price (below $1.00) and stockholders' equity (below $2.5 million). It has been granted extensions to regain compliance by November 5, 2025, and October 10, 2025, respectively.
• Legal Proceedings: Ongoing litigation with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries regarding patent infringement and unfair trade practices. The company cannot estimate the potential loss but notes an adverse ruling could materially impact operations.
• Asset Held for Sale: The Xepi® product line is classified as held for sale, with a carrying value of $2.3 million. The company expects to complete the sale within the next one to three months.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $7.24 million cash balance plus the pending $2.5 million tranche to fund operations through the next 12 months given the $7.16 million operating cash burn YTD.
• Strategic Transaction Closing: Confirm the execution of definitive agreements for the acquisition of U.S. rights to Ameluz® and the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock to Biofrontera AG.
• Nasdaq Delisting Risk: Monitor the stock price to ensure it meets the $1.00 bid price requirement for 10 consecutive days before the November 5, 2025 deadline.
• Legal Exposure: Assess the potential financial impact of the Sun Pharmaceutical patent litigation and the ITC proceedings.
• Xepi Disposition: Track the progress of the sale of the Xepi® license to ensure the expected cash inflow materializes.
