CorMedix Inc.

Note 1 — Organization and Description of Business:

Organization and Business:

CorMedix Inc. (collectively, with our wholly owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for life-threatening diseases and conditions.

Our primary focus is commercializing our lead product, DefenCath® (taurolidine and heparin), in the U.S. The name DefenCath is the U.S. proprietary name approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). CorMedix launched the product commercially in April 2024 in the inpatient setting and July 2024 in the outpatient hemodialysis setting.

DefenCath is an FDA approved antimicrobial catheter lock solution (“CLS”) (a formulation of taurolidine 13.5 mg/mL, and heparin 1000 USP Units/mL) indicated to reduce the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (“CRBSI”) in adult patients with kidney failure receiving chronic hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (“CVC”). It is indicated for use in a limited and specific population of patients. CRBSIs can lead to treatment delays and increased costs to the healthcare system when they occur due to hospitalizations, need for IV antibiotic treatment, long-term anticoagulation therapy, removal/replacement of the CVC, related treatment costs, as well as increased mortality. We believe DefenCath can address a significant unmet medical need.

On November 15, 2023, we announced that the FDA approved the new drug application (“NDA”) for DefenCath to reduce the incidence of CRBSI in adult patients with kidney failure receiving chronic hemodialysis through a CVC. DefenCath is the first and only FDA-approved antimicrobial CLS in the U.S. and was shown to reduce the risk of CRBSI by up to 71% in a Phase 3 clinical study. As a result of the November 2023 FDA approval, CorMedix launched the product commercially in April 2024 in the inpatient setting and July 2024 in the outpatient hemodialysis setting.

Note 2 — Liquidity and Uncertainties:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. To date, the Company’s commercial operations have not generated sufficient revenues to enable profitability. The Company’s current commercial and development expenses for DefenCath and its other operating requirements are expected to be funded for at least twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements by the Company’s existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2024 as well as the additional expected liquidity from commercial operations.

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of other factors that can affect its operating results and cash flow projections over the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the ability to market DefenCath and generate necessary revenue in the time periods required; ability to manufacture successfully; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, Company products; and the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products. As such, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financing, strategic relationships, potential strategic transactions and/or out-licensing. Management can provide no assurances that such financing or strategic relationships will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $30,216,000 of the Company’s common stock remains available for sale under the 2024 ATM program, with $100,000,000 of remaining capacity under the 2024 Shelf Registration Statement for the issuance of Company securities (see Note 8).

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions. The more significant areas in which estimates and the exercise of judgment relate include; variable consideration for product returns, realization of receivables, valuation of inventory, share-based payment grant date valuation, deferred tax asset valuation changes and contingent liability recognition and disclosures. Estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. They are continuously reviewed but may vary from the actual values.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year’s amounts to conform to the 2024 presentation.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowances

The Company recognizes an allowance that reflects a current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of a financial asset, including trade receivables. The allowance for credit losses reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of current information, forecasts of future economic conditions, industry knowledge and to some extent our historical experience. The Company determines its allowance methodology by pooling receivable balances at the customer level. The Company considers various factors, including individual credit risk associated with each customer, the current and future condition of the general economy and industry knowledge. These credit risk factors are monitored on a quarterly basis and updated as necessary. To the extent any individual debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due, however account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Allowances recorded for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 were approximately $0.1 million, there were no write-offs or recoveries during the year ended December, 31, 2024.

Concentrations

The major customers of the Company are defined as those constituting greater than 10% of its total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had sales to one customer that accounted for 86% of its total revenue of $43,472,000. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had two customers that accounted for 87% and 12% of the accounts receivable, respectively.

The Company currently has one FDA approved source for each of our two key active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) for DefenCath, taurolidine and heparin sodium, respectively. With regards to taurolidine, the Company has a drug master file (“DMF”) filed with the FDA. There is a master commercial supply agreement between a third-party manufacturer which has been in place since August 2018. In addition, the Company is working with its existing manufacture to source sufficient quantities of taurolidine API to cover at least 24 months of potential future demand. With respect to heparin sodium API, the Company has identified an alternate third-party supplier and may qualify such supplier under the DefenCath NDA over the next twelve months.

The Company received FDA approval of DefenCath with finished dosage production from its European based contract manufacturing organization (“CMO”) Rovi Pharma Industrial Services. The Company believes this CMO has adequate capacity to produce the volumes needed to meet near-term projected demand for the commercial launch of DefenCath. The Company also qualified Siegfried Hameln as an alternate finished dosage manufacturing site.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and other interest-bearing accounts, the balances of which, , may exceed federally insured limits.

The following table is the reconciliation of the accounting standard that modifies certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments as shown on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows:

The appropriate classification of marketable securities is determined at the time of purchase and reevaluated as of each balance sheet date. Investments in marketable debt, classified as available-for-sale, are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value that are considered temporary are reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses, amortization of premiums and discounts and interest and dividends earned are included in other income (expense). The Company considers available evidence in evaluating potential impairments of its investments, including the duration and extent to which fair value is less than cost. There were no deemed permanent impairments at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company’s marketable securities are highly liquid and consist of U.S. government agency securities, high-grade corporate obligations and commercial paper with original maturities of more than 90 days. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all of the Company’s investments had contractual maturities which were less than one year. The following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses and the fair value at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825,*Financial Instruments,*disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments is required, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The Company’s financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities and accounts payable. The carrying value of certain financial instruments, primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair values based upon the short-term nature of their maturity dates.

The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are categorized as follows:

The following table provides the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars (USD), the reporting currency of the Company. For the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the EURO, foreign currency asset and liability amounts, if any, are translated into USD at end-of-period exchange rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company had a foreign currency translation gain of $1,368 and $1,682 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Foreign currency exchange transaction gain (loss) is the result of re-measuring transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity recording the transaction.

Restricted Cash

The Company was required by the District Courts of Mannheim to provide security deposit to cover legal fees in the event TauroPharm is entitled to reimbursement of these costs. The Company furthermore had to provide a deposit for the first and second instances, respectively, in connection with the unfair competition proceedings in Cologne. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had restricted cash in connection with the patent and utility model infringement proceedings against TauroPharm in the amount of approximately $77,000, which was refunded to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $105,000 and $103,000, respectively in long-term restricted cash for a lease security deposit.

Prepaid Research and Development and Other Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist of payments made in advance to vendors relating to service contracts for clinical trial development, manufacturing, pre-clinical development and insurance policies. These advanced payments are amortized to expense either as services are performed or over the relevant service period using the straight-line method.

Inventories

The Company engages third parties to manufacture and package inventory held for sale and warehouse such goods until packaged for final distribution and sale. Costs related to the manufacturing of DefenCath incurred prior to FDA approval to support the preparation for commercial launch of its product were expensed as research and development expenses (R&D) as incurred. Upon FDA approval, costs related to the manufacturing of inventory are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

Inventory is valued utilizing the standard cost method, which approximates costs determined on the first-in first-out basis. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and writes down to its net realizable value any inventory that it believes to be impaired. Management considers forecast demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offering and sales volume assumptions, market conditions and product life cycle and expiration dating when determining net realizable value adjustments. Once inventory is written down and a new cost basis is established, it is not written back up if demand increases. The Company has not experienced any write-downs for any items listed above during 2023 or 2024.

Inventories consist of raw materials (including labeling and packaging), work-in-process, and finished goods, if any, for the DefenCath product. Inventories consist of the following:

The pre-commercial inventory previously expensed as R&D prior to FDA approval, consists of certain raw materials and inventory at various stages of completion with a value approximating $5,318,000 as of December 31, 2024.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consist primarily of furnishings, fixtures, leasehold improvements, office equipment and computer equipment, all of which are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Property and equipment, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $1,828,000 and $1,866,000, respectively, net of accumulated depreciation of approximately $674,000 and $521,000, respectively. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is included in cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion, on the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 9).

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected, as an accounting policy, not to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842,Accounting for Leases, to short-term leases. Short-term leases are leases that have a term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes the lease payments for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has also elected, as a practical expedient, by underlying class of asset, not to separate lease components from non-lease components and, instead, account for them as a single component.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product, DefenCath, in accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when it believes that it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. The Company’s product revenue is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer. In accordance with the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is received by a customer. The Company’s customers are located in the United States and consist primarily of outpatient service providers and wholesale distributors.

Variable Consideration

The Company includes an estimate of variable consideration in its transaction price at the time of sale when control of the product transfers to the customer. Variable consideration includes:

The Company assesses whether or not an estimate of variable consideration is constrained based on the probability that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue may occur in the future when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may vary from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect product sales and earnings in the period such variances become known.

The specific considerations that the Company uses in estimating these amounts related to variable considerations are as follows:

Distribution services fees – The Company pays distribution service fees primarily to its wholesale distributors. The Company reserves these fees based on actual net sales and the contractual fee rates negotiated with the customers in the distribution channel. The Company records these fees as contra accounts receivable on the balance sheet.

Prompt pay and other discounts – The Company provides customers with prompt pay discounts. The specific prompt pay terms vary by customer and are contractually fixed. Prompt pay discounts are expected to be taken by the Company’s customers, so an estimate of the discount is recorded at the time of sale based on the invoice price. Prompt pay discount estimates are recorded as contra accounts receivable on the balance sheet.

Product returns – Customers have the right to return product that is within six months or less of the labeled expiration date or that is past the expiration date by no more than six months. The Company determines its estimate for product returns based on: (i) data provided to the Company by its distributors (including weekly reporting of distributors’ sales and inventory held by distributors that provided the Company with visibility into the distribution channel in order to determine what quantities were sold to both inpatient and outpatient facilities), and (ii) the estimated remaining shelf life of DefenCath held by the wholesale distributors and outpatient service providers. Since the returns primarily consist of expired and short dated products that will not be resold, the Company does not record a return asset for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer at the time of the initial sale (when recognition of revenue is deferred due to the anticipated return). Estimated product returns are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

Chargebacks – Certain covered entities, group purchasing organizations (“GPO”) and government entities will be able to purchase the product at a price discounted below wholesaler acquisition cost (“WAC”). The difference between the GPO, government or covered entity purchase price and the wholesale distributor purchase price of WAC will be charged back to the Company. The Company estimates the amount in chargebacks based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Estimated chargebacks are recorded as contra accounts receivable on the balance sheet.

Rebates – The Company is or may become subject to negotiated discount obligations to different GPO, direct purchasers, other commercial organizations or government programs. The rebate amounts for these programs are determined by statutory requirements or contractual arrangements. Rebates are owed after the product has been dispensed to an end user and the Company has been invoiced. Rebates are typically invoiced in arrears. The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter based on expected product utilization, and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Rebate estimates are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

Volume Incentive Rebates – The Company is subject to negotiated volume incentive rebates with certain direct and indirect customers (primarily outpatient service providers). Rebates are owed based on predetermined volume levels and payable per the terms in the customer contracts. The Company estimates and records volume incentive rebates based on anticipated purchase volume with specific customers based on communications with the customer. Volume incentive rebates are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

Provisions for the revenue reserves described above totaled $24,128,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, total accrued reserves and allowances to accounts receivable on the balance sheet associated with variable consideration were $23,161,000.

A roll forward of the major categories of variable consideration deductions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

License Agreement

The Company’s rights under the License and Assignment Agreement with ND Partners, LLP are capitalized and stated at cost. The Company amortizes the intangible asset utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the intangible asset based on the Company’s assessment of various factors impacting estimated useful lives and cash flows of the acquired rights. Such factors include the launch date of DefenCath, the strength of the intellectual property protection of DefenCath and associated technology and various other competitive, developmental and regulatory considerations, and contractual terms. See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

The Company’s outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock entitle the holders to receive dividends on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. As a result, the Series E preferred stock meet the definition of participating securities requiring the application of the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders, including both distributed and undistributed earnings, are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings, which may cause diluted earnings per share to be more dilutive than the calculation using the treasury stock method. No loss has been allocated to these participating securities since they do not have contractual obligations that require participation in the Company’s losses.

Since the Company has only incurred losses, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all periods presented. The shares outstanding at the end of the respective periods presented below were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options with service or performance-based conditions. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis or when the achievement of the performance condition is probable.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development include fees associated with operational consultants, contract clinical research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, clinical site fees, contract laboratory research organizations, contract central testing laboratories, licensing activities, and allocated executive, human resources and facilities expenses. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trial and the invoices received from its external service providers. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals in the period when actual costs become known. Costs related to the acquisition of technology rights and patents for which development work is still in process are charged to operations as incurred and considered a component of research and development expense.

Other Income

Other income relates to a settlement with a previously utilized vendor, occurring during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recent Authoritative Pronouncements, not yet adopted

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

ASU No. 2023-09

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09,Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The standard requires disaggregation of the effective rate reconciliation into standard categories, enhances disclosure of income taxes paid, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The standard will be effective for CorMedix beginning in annual reporting period ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. CorMedix is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2024-03

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,ASC 220- Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires entities, in the notes to financial statements, with specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance is effective for CorMedix’s annual reporting period ending December 31, 2027, with interim periods beginning with CorMedix’s interim period ended March 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. CorMedix is assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements:

ASU No. 2023-07

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07Segment Reporting - Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The standard requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. CorMedix adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2024. See Note 10 for the disclosure related to the adoption of ASU No. 2023-07.

Other Prepaid Expenses and Current Assets

Other prepaid expenses and current assets consist of the following:

Note 5 — Accrued Expenses:

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Note 6 — Income Taxes:

The Company’s U.S. and foreign loss before income taxes are set forth below:

There were no current or deferred income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 because the Company has incurred operating losses since inception.

The Company’s deferred tax assets consist of the following:

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1,609,000.

The Company had the following potentially utilizable net operating loss tax carryforwards:

Approximately $113,600,000 of net operating losses generated will expire in 2026 through 2037 for Federal purposes whereas the operating losses for state purposes will expire between 2043 and 2044. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) limits the net operating loss deduction to 80% of taxable income for losses arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. However, the net operating losses now have an indefinite carryforward as opposed to the former 20-year carryforward. The foreign net operating loss tax carryforwards do not expire. Our federal and state operating loss carryforwards include windfall tax deductions from stock option exercises.

The Company’s foreign earnings, if any, are derived from its German and Spanish subsidiaries. The Company does not expect any foreign earnings to be repatriated in the U.S. in the near future. The winding down of its operations in the EU is ongoing and there was no income during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s effective tax rate varied from the statutory rate as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income of the appropriate character during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and the loss carryforwards are available to reduce taxable income. In making its assessment, the Company considered all sources of taxable income including carryback potential, future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and lastly, objectively verifiable projections of future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess all available evidence during future periods to evaluate the realization of its deferred tax assets.

The following table presents the changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the periods indicated:

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires uncertain tax positions to be classified as non-current income tax liabilities unless they are expected to be paid within one year. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions if any as a component of income tax expense.

The Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction. From a U.S. federal, state and local perspective the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received approximately $1,395,000, net of expenses, from the sale of its unused New Jersey net operating losses (NOL), that was eligible for sale under the State of New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority’s New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer program (NJEDA Program). The NJEDA Program allowed the Company to sell its available NOL tax benefits for the state fiscal year 2023 in the amount of approximately $1,500,000. During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company did not sell any of its unused NOL.

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies:

Contingency Matters

In re CorMedix Inc. Securities Litigation,Case No. 2:21-cv-14020 (D.N.J.)

On October 13, 2021, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey consolidated into In re CorMedix Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 2:21-cv 14020-JXN-CLW, two putative class action lawsuits filed on or about July 22, 2021 and September 13, 2021, respectively, and appointed lead counsel and lead plaintiff, a purported stockholder of the Company. The lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended class action complaint on December 14, 2021, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, along with Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. On October 10, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed a second amended consolidated complaint that superseded the original complaints in In re CorMedix Securities Litigation. On March 21, 2024, the court denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss without prejudice and granted lead plaintiff leave to amend the complaint. On April 22, 2024, lead plaintiff filed a third amended consolidated complaint that superseded the second amended consolidated complaint. In the third amended complaint, the lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired CorMedix securities between October 16, 2019 and August 8, 2022, inclusive. The third amended complaint names as defendants the Company and six (6) current and former officers of CorMedix, namely Khoso Baluch, Robert Cook, Matthew David, Phoebe Mounts, John L. Armstrong, and Joseph Todisco (the “Officer Defendants” and collectively with CorMedix, the “CorMedix Defendants”). The third amended complaint alleges that the CorMedix Defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act (and Rule 10b-5) and that the Officer Defendants violated Section 20(a). In general, the purported bases for these claims are allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions related to the NDA submissions to the FDA for DefenCath, subsequent complete response letters, as well as communications from the FDA related and directed to the Company’s contract manufacturing organization and heparin supplier.

Commitments

License and Assignment Agreement

In 2008, the Company entered into a License and Assignment Agreement (the ND License Agreement) with ND Partners, LLP (NDP). Pursuant to the ND License Agreement, NDP granted the Company exclusive, worldwide licenses for certain antimicrobial catheter lock solutions, processes for treating and inhibiting infections, a biocidal lock system and a taurolidine delivery apparatus, and the corresponding United States and foreign patents and applications (the NDP Technology). As consideration in part for the rights to the NDP Technology, upon execution of the ND License Agreement, the Company paid NDP an initial licensing fee of $325,000 and granted NDP a 5% equity interest in the Company, consisting of 7,996 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Under the ND License Agreement, the Company is required to make cash and equity payments to NDP upon the achievement of certain milestones. In 2014, a certain milestone was achieved resulting in the release of 7,277 shares held in escrow. As of December 31, 2022, the shares remaining in escrow were cancelled in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. Under the ND License Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount of cash payments due upon achievement of applicable milestones was $2,500,000, with the balance being $2,000,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The initial licensing fee of $325,000, the fair value of the 5% equity interest (7,996 shares of the Company’s common stock) and an additional $500,000, as a result of the achievement of one milestone, were recognized on the Company’s statement of operations in R&D in prior periods, as the related milestones were achieved by the Company prior to the FDA approval. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined it was probable that the net sales milestones would be achieved in future periods and, as a result, the Company recorded a license intangible asset of $2,000,000 and a license agreement liability of $2,000,000, which is included within accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. These sales milestones were met during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company anticipates payment will be due in accordance with the agreement terms at the end of the twelve month period post attainment.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, the license intangible asset is amortized as cost of goods sold over its estimated economic life of approximately 10 years. The amortization start period correlates with the product launch of DefenCath and the first period in which revenue will be recognized. Amortization expense of approximately $156,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The ND License Agreement will expire on a country-by-country basis upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the last patent claim under the ND License Agreement in a given country, or (ii) the payment of all milestone payments. Upon the expiration of the ND License Agreement in each country, we will have an irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free exclusive license to the NDP Technology in such country. The ND License Agreement also may be terminated by NDP if the Company materially breaches or defaults under the ND License Agreement and that breach is not cured within 60 days following the delivery of written notice to the Company, or by the Company on a country-by-country basis upon 60 days prior written notice in the event the Company’s Board determines not to proceed with the development of the NDP Technology. If the ND License Agreement is terminated by either party, the Company’s rights to the NDP Technology will revert back to NDP.

Other

In December 2024, the Company entered into a project agreement with Syneos Health Commercial Services, LLC (“Syneos”) where Syneos will provide a field force of sales representatives to provide certain sales operations services, compliance services and training services with respect to DefenCath to us in exchange for an up-front implementation fee and a fixed monthly fee. The term of the agreement is 3 years and is cancelable provided 60 days written notice, upon the twelve-month anniversary of the deployment date, which has yet to be determined as of the filing of this Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2024, the minimum amount committed totals $9.6 million.

The Company entered into a seven-year operating lease agreement in March 2020 for an office space at 300 Connell Drive, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey 07922. The lease agreement, with a monthly average cost of approximately $17,000, commenced on September 16, 2020.

Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity:

Common Stock:

On June 28, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Truist Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,500,625 shares of common stock to the underwriters. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,500,093 additional shares of common stock. The offering pursuant to the 2021 Shelf Registration Statement closed on July 3, 2023. Upon closing, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per share and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,500,625 shares of its commons stock at a price of $3.999 per pre-funded warrants. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $37,300,000 from the sale of its common stock and the pre-funded warrants. On July 26, 2023, the underwriters’ representatives fully exercised the option to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock, and on July 28, 2023, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,500,093 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $4.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, and the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $5,600,000. In October 2024, the pre-funded warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 2,500,625 shares of common stock by the Company. Due to the pricing of the pre-funded warrants, net proceeds related to this transaction are de minimis.

On May 9, 2024, the Company filed a shelf registration statement (the “2024 Shelf Registration Statement”) for the issuance of up to $150,000,000 of Company securities. Also on May 9, 2024, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC, as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, an aggregate of up to $50,000,000 of its common stock through the sales agents under the 2024 Shelf Registration Statement, subject to limitations imposed by the Company and subject to the sales agent’s acceptance (the “2024 ATM program”). The sales agent is entitled to a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of common stock sold under the 2024 ATM program. As of December 31, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 3,049,878 shares of its common stock under the 2024 ATM program and realized an aggregate net proceeds of approximately $18,900,000. Approximately $30,216,000 of the Company’s common stock remains available for sale under its 2024 ATM program, with $100,000,000 of capacity remaining under its 2024 Shelf Registration Statement for the issuance of Company securities.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate 2,977,637 shares of its common stock under the Company’s previous at-the-market program, realizing net proceeds of approximately $12,900,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,357,802 and 79,041 shares of its common stock upon exercise of stock options, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $7,724,000 and $288,000, respectively.

The fair market value of the RSUs was estimated to be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs issued during the year ended December 31, 2024 vest 25% on the grant date and 25% each on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued service as an employee or consultant through the applicable vesting date. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 42,844 shares upon the vesting of 25% of these RSUs on the grant date and 27,989 shares were withheld in lieu of withholding taxes. The RSUs issued during the year ended December 31, 2023 vest over four years in four equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the applicable grant date, subject to continued service as an employee or consultant through the applicable vesting date. In December 2024,12,500 of these RSUs vested which resulted in the issuance of 6,456 shares of common stock and 6,044 shares were withheld in lieu of withholding taxes.

During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023,62,241 and 103,734 RSUs vested, respectively, pursuant to a grant made to the Company’s chief executive officer in May 2022, of which 35,259 and 66,291 shares of common stock were issued by the Company, respectively, and 26,982 and 37,443 shares, respectively, were withheld in lieu of withholding taxes.

Stock Options:

On October 13, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the CorMedix Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company may issue as additional 4,800,000 shares of its common stock, respectively, plus any shares that remain available for grant under its existing plan as of the effective date, as long-term equity incentives to the Company’s employees, consultants, and directors. On November 21, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2022 Plan, which increased the number of shares authorized for issuance by an additional 3,360,000 shares. The long-term incentives may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, or other rights or benefits (collectively, “stock rights”) to employees, consultants, and directors of the Company or a related entity (collectively, “participants”). The Company believes that the effective use of long- term equity incentives is essential to attract, motivate, and retain employees, consultants and directors, to further align participants’ interests with those of the Company’s stockholders, and to provide participants incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those offered by other companies in the same industry and locations as the Company.

The 2022 Plan amends and restates the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan are referred to collectively as the “Prior Plans.” No further awards will be granted under the Prior Plans. Awards outstanding under the Prior Plans will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the Prior Plans.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted ten-year qualified and non-qualified stock options to its officers, directors, employees and consultants covering an aggregate of 2,196,167 and 2,536,200 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2019 Plan, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of these options is $3.80 and $4.18 per share, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued 1,357,802 and 79,041 shares of common stock, respectively, as a result of the exercise of stock options. The Company realized net proceeds of $7,724,000 and $288,000, respectively, from the exercise of stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $5.69 and $3.64 per share, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, total compensation expense for stock options issued to employees, directors, officers and consultants was $5,439,000 and $5,232,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was $6,363,000 total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted which expense is expected to be recognized over an expected remaining weighted average period of 1.4 years. All share-based awards are recognized on a straight-line method, assuming all awards granted will vest. Forfeitures of share-based awards are recognized in the period in which they occur.

The fair value at grants dates of the grants issued subject to service and performance-based vesting conditions were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The Company estimated the expected term of the stock options granted based on anticipated exercises in future periods. The expected term of the stock options granted to consultants, if any, is based upon the full term of the respective option agreements. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected dividend yield of 0.0% reflects the Company’s current and expected future policy for dividends on the Company’s common stock. To determine the risk-free interest rate, the Company utilized the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of the Company’s awards.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock options activity and related information for the year ended December 31, 2024:

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise prices of the underlying options and the quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company at the end of the reporting period for those options that have an exercise price below the quoted closing price.

Stock-based Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

In 2014, the Company established an unfunded stock-based deferred compensation plan, providing non-employee directors the opportunity to defer up to one hundred percent of fees and compensation, including restricted stock units. The amount of fees and compensation deferred by a non-employee director is converted into stock units, the number of which is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date such compensation would have otherwise been payable.
