Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total net revenues increased 118% year-over-year for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was driven by increased sales of ALKINDI SPRINKLE and the addition of revenues from INCRELEX and GALZIN products acquired in late 2024.
• Licensing Revenue: Licensing revenue rose to $3,286 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $500 in the prior year. This includes $1,786 from out-licensing INCRELEX rights outside the U.S. and $1,500 from a DS-200 development milestone.
• Operating Expenses: General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased significantly to $26,963 (YTD 2025) from $16,035 (YTD 2024), attributed to higher stock-based compensation, increased headcount, and product advertising. R&D expenses rose to $5,985 (YTD 2025) due to an NDA filing fee for ET-600.
• Net Loss: The company reported a net loss of $6,084 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $3,225 in the prior year period, primarily due to increased operating expenses and amortization of intangible assets.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Liquidity: Management believes cash of $37.1 million and product revenues are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. However, the company may need to seek additional capital if growth accelerates or development delays occur.
• Debt Obligations: The company has a credit facility with SWK totaling $30 million, maturing in December 2027. The agreement includes a 5.0% exit fee and covenants limiting dividends. Quarterly principal payments of $3 million begin in May 2026.
• Customer Concentration: Revenue and accounts receivable are highly concentrated. AnovoRx represented 85.8% of net product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
• Unusual Items: The company recognized $3,673 in inventory step-up expense (YTD 2025) related to the INCRELEX acquisition. Additionally, a delinquent Form 8-K/A regarding the INCRELEX acquisition was identified in March 2025, though management concluded disclosure controls remain effective.
• Non-GAAP Measures: Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $9,598, compared to a GAAP net loss of $6,084, driven by adjustments for stock-based compensation, amortization, and acquisition-related costs.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Customer Concentration Risk: Verify the stability of the relationship with AnovoRx, which accounts for the vast majority of product revenue.
• Debt Covenants: Review the specific financial covenants in the SWK Credit Agreement to ensure compliance, particularly regarding the upcoming principal payments starting May 2026.
• Inventory Valuation: Assess the impact of the $3.7 million inventory step-up expense and the ongoing amortization of intangible assets ($3.0 million YTD) on future profitability.
• Regulatory Pipeline: Monitor the status of late-stage candidates (ET-600, Amglidia, ZENEO) as their approval is critical for future revenue diversification.
• Internal Controls: Confirm that the additional procedures instituted following the delinquent 8-K/A filing are functioning effectively to prevent future reporting delays.
