Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- Nature of Business and Liquidity
Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia (“Fennec,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was originally formed as a British Columbia corporation under the name Adherex Technologies Inc. and subsequently changed its name on September 3, 2014. Fennec, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Oxiquant, Inc. and Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both Delaware corporations, Cadherin Biomedical Inc., a Canadian corporation, and Fennec Pharmaceuticals (EU) Limited, an Ireland company (“Fennec Limited”), collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” is a biopharmaceutical company with one FDA approved product developed to reduce the risk of ototoxicity associated with cisplatin in pediatric patients one month of age and older with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors. With the exception of Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Fennec Limited, all subsidiaries are inactive.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) that are applicable to a going concern which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $6,282. At December 31, 2025, it had an accumulated deficit of $229,422 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $12,473 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Senior Secured Convertible Notes
In August 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Petrichor Opportunities Fund I LP providing for the issuance of up to $45,000 of senior secured floating-rate convertible notes due August 2027. Between August 2022 and December 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of $30,000 of Notes under this agreement.
In December 2024, the Company redeemed approximately $13,000 of Notes, including payment-in-kind interest.
On November 17, 2025, the Company redeemed all remaining outstanding Notes for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $21,700, including principal, accrued interest, and applicable redemption fees. The redemption was funded primarily using proceeds from the Company’s November 2025 public equity offering (Note 6).
As of December 31, 2025, no convertible notes were outstanding.
License Agreement
In March 2024, the Company announced that is had secured an exclusive licensing agreement with Norgine Pharma UK Limited (“Norgine”), to commercialize PEDMARQSI in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The deal provided the Company with approximately $43 million upfront, with the potential of another approximately $230 million in future royalties and milestone payments.
The Company believes current funds, which include funds from the upfront payment from Norgine, provide sufficient funding for the Company to carry out its planned activities, including the continuation of commercialization efforts for at least the next twelve months of PEDMARK®.
These financial statements do not reflect the potentially material adjustments in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used, that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
- Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fennec and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, amount and timing of marketing and other services performed by certain distributors, allowance against trade receivables, and measurement of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Credit Losses
The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its trade receivables. The Company considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of its customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating for current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses.
To determine the provision for credit losses for accounts receivable, the Company has disaggregated its accounts receivable by class of customer, as the Company determined that risk profile of its customers may vary based on certain characteristics such as credit history, past payment history and geography. Each class of customer component is analyzed for estimated credit losses individually. In doing so, the Company establishes a customer profile, based on the previous collections of accounts receivable by the age of such receivables, and evaluates the current and forecasted financial position of its customers, as available. Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the life sciences industry to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends and the Company’s expectation of the future status of such economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.
Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone operating segment and employees are supporting onlyone operating segment which is the production and commercialization of PEDMARK.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Company’s stock-based compensation programs, the Company periodically grants stock options and restricted stock to employees, directors and consultants. The Company also issues shares under an employee stock purchase plan. The fair value of each award is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations over the requisite service period for such award.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock option awards without market conditions, which requires the Company to make certain assumptions regarding the expected volatility of its common stock price, the expected term of the option grants, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield with respect to its common stock. The Company calculates volatility using its historical stock price data. Due to the lack of the Company’s own historical data, the Company elected to use the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options to estimate the expected term of the Company’s stock option grants. Under this approach, the weighted-average expected life is presumed
to be the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments with a similar expected life. The Company utilizes a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and at present, has no intention to pay cash dividends.
In May and August 2025, the Board of Directors approved grants of performance-based units (PSUs) whereby vesting depends on the achievement of specified revenue performance milestones through December 31, 2025. The Company estimates the likelihood of achievement of the performance milestones for all PSU awards at the end of each reporting period, and to the extent those awards or portions thereof are considered probable of being achieved, such awards or portions thereof are expensed over the performance period. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the applicable revenue performance milestones had been achieved and recognized the related PSU compensation cost in full.
Inventory
Inventories are valued under a standard costing methodology on a first-in, first-out basis and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company capitalizes inventory costs related to products to be sold in the ordinary course of business. The Company makes a determination of capitalizing inventory costs for a product based on, among other factors, status of regulatory approval, information regarding safety, efficacy and expectations relating to commercial sales and recoverability of costs. Capitalized costs of inventories mainly include third party manufacturing, logistics and distribution costs. The Company assesses recoverability of inventory each reporting period to determine any write down to net realizable value resulting from excess or obsolete inventories.
Revenue Recognition
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company determines it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s). As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must make significant judgments, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.
License Agreements
The Company generates revenue from license or similar agreements with pharmaceutical companies for the commercialization of its product. Such agreements may include the transfer of intellectual property rights in the form of licenses. Payments made by the customers may include non-refundable upfront fees, payments based upon the achievement of defined milestones, and royalties on sales of product.
If a license to the Company's intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to the license as revenue upon transfer of control of the license. All other promised goods or services in the agreement are evaluated to determine if they are distinct. If they are not distinct, they are combined with other promised goods or services to create a bundle of promised goods or services that is distinct. Optional future services where any additional consideration paid to the Company reflects their standalone selling prices do not provide the customer with a material right and, therefore, are not considered performance obligations. If optional future services are priced in a manner which provides the customer with a significant or incremental discount, they are material rights, and are accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Contingent milestones at contract inception are estimated at the amount which is not probable of a material reversal and included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. Milestone payments that are not within the Company's control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received and therefore the variable consideration is constrained. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance
obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achieving development or sales-based milestone payments that may not be subject to a material reversal and, if necessary, adjust the estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license and other revenue, as well as earnings, in the period of adjustment.
For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including sales-based milestone payments, and a license of intellectual property that is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, revenue is recognized at the later of when the related sales occur or when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalties have been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
Costs to Obtain Contract
As the majority of the Company's contracts are short-term in nature, sales commissions are generally expensed when incurred as the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For contracts that extend beyond one year, the incremental expense recognition matches the recognition of related revenue.
Net Product Revenue
On September 20, 2022, the FDA approved PEDMARK® in the United States to reduce the risk of ototoxicity associated with cisplatin in pediatric patients one month of age and older with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors. PEDMARK® became commercially available on October 17, 2022. PEDMARK® is the Company’s first commercial product. Amongst the Company’s customers are distributors which subsequently resell the Company’s products to health care providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements, the Company enters into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately- negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.
Product Sales Discounts and Allowances
The Company records U.S. based revenues from product sales at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from discounts, chargebacks, rebates, co-pay assistance, returns and other allowances that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the sales of its products. These reserves are based on the amounts to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as a contra-asset or a current liability. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, forecasted customer buying and payment patterns, and the Company’s historical experience that will develop over time as PEDMARK® is the Company’s first commercial product. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of its contracts. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known.
The Company also utilizes select distributors to introduce its product into global markets. These distributors take on the function of shipping, storage, marketing and other services related to the sale of our product. We record distribution and other fees paid to these distributors as a reduction of revenue, unless the payment is for a distinct good or service from the customer and we can reasonably estimate the fair value of the goods or services received. If both conditions are met, we record the consideration paid to the distributor as an operating expense. These costs are typically known at the time of sale, resulting in minimal adjustments subsequent to the period of sale.
Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted customers purchase directly from a specialty distributor. Contracted customers, which currently consist of Public Health Service institutions and Federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and the discounted price paid to the specialty distributor by its contracted customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on actual chargebacks received and an estimate of sales by the specialty distributor to its contracted customers.
Discounts for Prompt Payment: The customers receive a discount of for prompt payment which may range from 0.5% to 2.0%. The Company expects its customers will earn 100% of their prompt payment discounts and, therefore, the Company deducts the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.
Rebates: Allowances for rebates include mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and other government programs. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contractual discount rates and expected utilization. The Company’s estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on Customer and payer data received from the specialty distributors and historical utilization rates that will develop over time as PEDMARK® is the Company’s first commercial product. Rebates are generally invoiced by the payor and paid in arrears, such that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s shipments to the customers, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarters’ unpaid rebates. If actual future rebates vary from estimates, the Company may need to adjust its accruals, which would affect net product revenues in the period of adjustment.
Co-payment Assistance: Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. The Company accrues a liability for co-payment assistance based on actual program participation and estimates of program redemption using customer data provided by the third party that administers the copay program.
Other Customer Credits: The Company pays fees to its customers for account management, data management and other administrative services. To the extent the services received are distinct from the sale of products to its customers, the Company classifies these payments in selling and marketing expenses in its consolidated statements of operations.
*Distribution and Other Fees:*We pay distribution and other fees to certain customers in connection with the sales of our products. We record distribution and other fees paid to our customers as a reduction of revenue, unless the payment is for a distinct good or service from the customer and we can reasonably estimate the fair value of the goods or services received. If both conditions are met, we record the consideration paid to the customer as an operating expense. These costs are typically known at the time of sale, resulting in minimal adjustments subsequent to the period of sale.

The allowances for chargebacks, fees due to customers, rebates and discounts for prompt payment are recorded as a contra-asset to accounts receivable, while Medicaid rebates and return allowances are in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Trade Receivables
The Company records gross trade receivables at the time of product sale to its customers, both specialty and other select global distributors. Amounts estimated for the associated chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and any allowances for credit losses are booked as a reserve against accounts receivable and reduction of revenue. The Company determines its allowance methodology by pooling receivable balances at the customer level. The Company considers various factors, including loss history, individual credit risk associated with each customer, and the current and future condition of the general economy. These credit risk factors are monitored on a quarterly basis and updated as necessary. To the extent that any individual debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such a customer. For customers that are large specialty distributors, the Company considered the risk of potential credit losses to be low. Sales to other select global distributors have increased the potential for losses. The Company evaluates the risk of credit losses on sales on an individual basis using the above-mentioned criteria. The Company had an allowance for credit losses of $5,904 as of December 31, 2025.
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold is related to the Company's product revenues for PEDMARK® and consists primarily of product production costs associated with finished goods inventory. Cost of products sold also consists of shipping and other third-party logistics and distribution costs for the Company’s product. As of December 31, 2025, the Company capitalized approximately $1,565 of costs as inventory, net of obsolescence reserve, on the consolidated balance sheet. Of the items capitalized, $1,274 was capitalized as raw materials, $153 as WIP and $138 was capitalized into finished goods. There was a reserve against WIP valuation for inventory which the Company believes will expire before it is sold in the amount of $1,290.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in investments held by highly rated financial institutions in accordance with its investment policy designed to protect the principal investment. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $36,788 in cash and money market accounts (2024 - $26,634). Money market investments typically have minimal risks. While the Company has not experienced any loss or write-down of its money market investments, the amounts it holds in money market accounts are substantially above the $250 amount insured by the FDIC and may lose value.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and term loans, the carrying values of which approximate fair value due to their relatively short time to maturity or interest rates that approximate market interest rates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading.
The Company’s investment policy is to manage investments to achieve, in the order of importance, the financial objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity and return on investment. Investments, when made, are made in U.S. or Canadian bank securities, commercial paper of U.S. or Canadian industrial companies, utilities, financial institutions and consumer loan companies, and securities of foreign banks provided the obligations are guaranteed or carry ratings appropriate to the policy. Securities must have a minimum Dun & Bradstreet rating of A for bonds or R1 low for commercial paper.
The policy risks are primarily the opportunity cost of the conservative nature of the allowable investments. The Company has chosen to avoid investments of a trading or speculative nature to preserve cash.
Common Shares and Warrants
At December 31, 2025, the Company had 111 warrants with a weighted average strike price of $8.11 outstanding to purchase common shares that have a weighted average life of 1.68 years.
Research and Development Costs and Investment Tax Credits
Research costs, including employee compensation, laboratory fees, lab supplies, and research and testing performed under contract by third parties, are expensed as incurred. Development costs, including drug substance costs, clinical study expenses and regulatory expenses are expensed as incurred.
The Company conducts certain research and development activities under clinical trial and other research agreements with third parties and records expenses for these activities based on estimates of the work performed during the reporting period. In developing these estimates, the Company considers factors such as the terms of the underlying contracts, progress of patient visits and related clinical procedures, the achievement of contractual milestones, and data received from CROs and other service providers, and adjusts accruals as actual information becomes available.
Investment tax credits, which are earned as a result of qualifying research and development expenditures, are recognized when the expenditures are made and their realization is reasonably assured. They are applied to reduce related capital costs and research and development expenses in the year recognized.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in highly-rated, federally-insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company’s investment strategy is focused on capital preservation. The Company invests in instruments that meet the high credit quality standards outlined in the Company’s investment policy. This policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue or type of instrument.
The Company’s trade receivables includes amounts billed to customers for product sales of PEDMARK®. In the U.S., the customers are a limited group of specialty distributors, and direct customers, and accordingly, the Company considers the risk of potential credit losses to be low. The Company also sells to a select group of global distributors. These global distributors are established companies and although the Company regards credit losses with these distributors to be low, it does recognize the increased potential for credit losses with this group.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. The Company has deferred tax assets, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we maintained a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
The provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, Uncertainty in Income Taxes, address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
Foreign Currency Transaction
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s consolidated operations. All gains and losses from currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share was computed using the same method, except the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding included convertible debentures, performance share units, restricted share units, stock options and warrants, if dilutive, as determined using the if-converted and treasury stock methods. Accordingly, at December 31, 2025, warrants to purchase 0.1 million of our common shares, performance share units covering 0.3 million of our common shares, restricted share units to obtain 0.4 million of our common shares, and options to purchase 5.9 million of our common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. At December 31, 2024, warrants to purchase 0.2 million of our common shares, restricted share units to obtain 0.3 million of our common shares and options to purchase 5.9 million of our common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive; there wereno performance share units outstanding at that date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, and the adoption affected only the Company’s income tax disclosures and did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disclosure of additional disaggregated information about significant expenses within relevant income statement captions, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). The guidance in ASU 2025-05 amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, to provide a practical expedient to simplify estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The practical expedient, if elected, allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The standard is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient should apply the guidance prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2025-05 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
- Loss per Share
Loss per common share is presented under two formats: basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potentially dilutive impact of common shares equivalents (e.g. stock options and warrants). Dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands except per share data):

- Stock Options
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company maintains the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan” or the “Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2020 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), and other equity-based awards to employees, directors, officers, and consultants of the Company. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining eligible participants and approving individual award grants under the 2020 Plan.
On April 24, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Plan to: (i) increase the number of common shares available for issuance under the Plan (excluding common shares issued prior to the date of the meeting pursuant to the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs) to 8,500 common shares, representing approximately 30.8% of
the total issued and outstanding common shares as of the date of the circular; and (ii) include provisions for an employee stock purchase program. The amendment was subsequently** **approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 3, 2025.
Prior to this amendment, the maximum number of equity instruments issuable under the Plan, together with the Company’s prior stock option plan, was limited to 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Based on the then-current outstanding share count, this equated to a maximum of 6,825 common shares available for issuance.
All stock options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. Options generally vest over a period of up tothree years and are exercisable for a period of up toten years from the grant date. Awards under the Plan may be denominated in either U.S. or Canadian dollars.
In November 2025, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering 8,500 shares of common stock for issuance under the Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. These shares are intended to support future equity-based compensation awards.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date.
A summary of the stock option transactions, U.S. dollar grants, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is below. Unrecognized stock-based compensation at December 31, 2025 was $4,223 that will be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 1.69 years. There areno outstanding $CAD denominated options.

Performance-Based Units
In May and August 2025, the Board of Directors approved PSU grants whereby vesting depends on certain revenue performance milestones during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company estimates the likelihood of achievement of performance milestones for all PSU awards at the end of each reporting period. To the extent those awards or portions thereof are considered probable of being achieved, such awards or portions thereof are expensed over the performance period. The performance milestones were achieved for the year ended December 31, 2025. The expense of $2,387 was recognized for 2025.
During 2025, the Company granted a total of 320 performance units and 6 units were forfeited, resulting in 314 unvested performance units outstanding at December 31, 2025 with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $7.46 per share.
Restricted Share Units Activity
The Plan allows for the issuance of restricted share units (“RSUs”). The following is a summary of RSU activity for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024. Prior to June 2021, there was no activity involving RSUs. During the year ended December 31, 2025,283 RSUs were awarded,7 were forfeited and 213 were released from restriction. The Company recognized $1,697 in RSU expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $1,382 for the same period in 2024. Standard vesting of RSUs is over three years with 1/3 vesting on the first anniversary date of the grant and then 1/24 on the last day of each subsequent month. The Compensation Committee may also award RSUs with alternative vesting.

- Fair Value Measurements
The Company has adopted ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the FASB. This Topic applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The Fair Value Measurements Topic defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Topic enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs
used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Topic requires that financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company measures the fair value of the Processa Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Processa”) common shares held by the Company by taking into consideration valuations obtained from public financial markets. The Company uses Yahoo Finance to obtain share price data and Oanda for foreign currency pricing services to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker- dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities and other observable inputs.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had financial assets valued based on Level 1 inputs consisting of cash and cash equivalents and Processa common shares. The Company also had financial assets based on Level 2 inputs consisting of money market funds. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any transfers of financial assets between Levels 1 and 2.

Litigation
On December 1, 2022, we received a letter dated November 30, 2022, notifying us that CIPLA Ltd. and CIPLA USA (“CIPLA”) submitted to the FDA an ANDA (ANDA No. 218028) for a generic version of PEDMARK® (sodium thiosulfate solution) that contained Paragraph IV Certifications on two of our patents covering PEDMARK®: the OHSU licensed ‘190 Patent, expiration date January 2038; and our US 11,291,728 Patent (the “’728 Patent”), expiration date July 2039. On January 6, 2023, we received a letter dated January 5, 2023, notifying us that CIPLA submitted to the FDA a Paragraph IV Certification on our newly issued US 11,510,984 Patent (the “’984 Patent”). These patents are listed in FDA’s list of Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the Orange Book, for PEDMARK®. The certifications allege these patents are invalid or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of CIPLA’s sodium thiosulfate solution.
Under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, after receipt of a valid Paragraph IV notice, the Company may bring a patent infringement suit in a federal district court against CIPLA within 45 days from the receipt of the Notice Letter and if such a suit is commenced within the 45-day period, the Company is entitled to a 30 month stay on the FDA’s ability to give final approval to any proposed products that reference PEDMARK. In addition to the 30-month stay, because we have received Orphan Drug Exclusivity, the FDA may not approve CIPLA’s ANDA for at least 7 years from PEDMARK®’s FDA approval date of September 20, 2022, which is September 20, 2029.
On January 10, 2023, we filed suit against the CIPLA entities in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Case No. 2:23-cv-00123), for infringement of the US ‘190 Patent, the US ‘728 Patent, and the US ‘984 Patent. On April 20, 2023, we filed an Amended Complaint to assert infringement of the US ‘728 Patent and the US ‘984 Patent. On April 4, 2023, we were granted US 11,617,793 Patent (the “US ‘793 Patent”) covering the formulation of the PEDMARK® product, which was listed in the Orange Book on or around April 17, 2023, and has an expiration date of July 2039. On May 11, 2023, we received written notice of CIPLA’s Paragraph IV Certification as to the US ‘793 Patent, which was dated May 10, 2023, along with an enclosed statement of alleged factual and legal bases for stating that the US ‘793 Patent is invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by CIPLA’s ANDA Product. On July 27, 2023, we filed a Second Amended Complaint to assert the US ‘793 Patent. CIPLA filed an Answer to the Second Amended Complaint on August 31, 2023.
On April 23, 2024, we were granted US 11,964,018 Patent (the “US ‘018 Patent) covering a method of using our PEDMARK® product to reduce ototoxicity in a patient receiving a platinum based chemotherapeutic for the treatment of a cancer, which was listed in the Orange Book on or around May 8, 2024, and has an expiration date of July 2039. On May 28, 2024, we were granted US 11,992,530 Patent (the “US ‘530 Patent”) covering a method of using our PEDMARK® product to reduce ototoxicity in a patient receiving a platinum based chemotherapeutic for the treatment of a cancer, which was listed in the Orange Book on or around June 20, 2024, and has an expiration date of July 2039. On June 4, 2024, we were granted US 11,998,604 Patent (the “US ‘604 Patent”) covering a method of using our PEDMARK product to reduce ototoxicity in a patient receiving a platinum based chemotherapeutic for the treatment of a cancer, which was listed in the Orange Book on or around June 24, 2024, and has an expiration date of July 2039.
On June 13, 2024, we filed a Motion for Leave to File a Third Amended Complaint to focus the ANDA litigation against CIPLA on the US ‘018 Patent and the US ‘793 Patent only. The non-asserted patents remain listed in the Orange Book. On July 22, 2024, CIPLA filed a response indicating that they do not oppose our Motion for Leave to File a Third Amended Complaint. On July 30, 2024, the court granted us leave to file the Third Amended Complaint, which we filed on September 16, 2024.
In coordination with the Third Amended Complaint, we entered into a covenant not to sue CIPLA on the US ‘363 Patent, US ‘728 Patent, US ‘984 Patent, US ‘530 Patent, and US ‘604 Patent, subject to the limitation that such shall not apply to the extent CIPLA alters the product or formulation described in its FDA ANDA application.
On May 27, 2025, we were granted US 12,311,026 (the “US ‘026 Patent”) covering a method of using pharmaceutical compositions comprising sodium thiosulfate and specific stabilizers to reduce ototoxicity in a patient receiving a platinum based chemotherapeutic for the treatment of a cancer. The US ‘026 Patent has an expiration date of July 2039.
On May 27, 2025, we filed suit against the CIPLA entities in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Case No. 2:25-cv-05709), for infringement of the US ‘026 Patent based on the Cipla entities’ ANDA filing. Subsequently, we filed a Motion to Consolidate Case No. 2:25-cv-05709 and Case No. 2:23-cv-00123.
On March 16, 2026, Fennec entered into an agreement with Cipla Limited and Cipla USA, Inc. to settle the litigation between them regarding Cipla’s application to FDA for approval to market a generic version of Fennec’s PEDMARK® (sodium thiosulfate injection) product.See Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. Cipla Limited and Cipla USA, Inc., C.A. No. 2:23-cv-00123-JKS-MAH (D.N.J.). Under the terms of the agreement, the lawsuit will be dismissed with each party bearing their own costs, and Cipla will not enter the market with its generic sodium thiosulfate product until September 1, 2033, or earlier under certain circumstances.

- Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.

We adopted ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, on January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations but resulted in expanded income tax disclosures. The Company operates in U.S., Canadian and Ireland tax jurisdictions. Its income is subject to varying rates of tax and losses incurred in one jurisdiction cannot be used to offset income taxes payable in another.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the then President of the United States signed into law an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 (commonly known as “the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“TCJA”)), which introduced a comprehensive set of tax reforms. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act significantly revises U.S. tax law by, among other provisions, lowering the Company’s corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% and eliminating or reducing certain income tax deductions.
In December 2017, in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118– Income Tax Accounting Implications of the TCJA, the Company recorded tax effects on a provisional basis based on a reasonable estimate. The TCJA did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements because its deferred temporary differences are fully offset by a valuation allowance and the Company does not have any offshore earnings from which to record the mandatory transition tax. During 2018, the Company completed its analysis under SAB 118 and no additional tax effects due to rate-remeasurement were required to be recorded.
There are no current income taxes owed, but the Norgine deal will cause the Company to be closer to using its historical tax losses. Once those losses are used up, the Company will owe income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company
has unclaimed Scientific Research and Experimental Development ("SR&ED") expenditures, income tax loss carry-forwards and non-refundable investment tax credits. The unclaimed amounts and their expiry dates are as listed below:

10. License Agreement
License Agreement with Norgine Pharma UK Limited
On March 17, 2024, the Company announced that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Norgine Pharma UK Limited (“Norgine”), pursuant to which Norgine is granted an exclusive license to commercialize the Company’s product PEDMARQSI® (known as PEDMARK in the United States) for all human indications in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand (collectively, the “Territory”). On July 26, 2024, Norgine and Fennec amended the exclusive licensing agreement. The amended agreement maintains all principal payment terms with the primary addition of Norgine assuming responsibility for packaging and labeling of PEDMARQSI®.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Fennec shall receive the following payments from Norgine: (i) an upfront payment in the amount of €40,000 or approximately $43,200, which was paid to Fennec on March 15, 2024, (ii) up to €210,000 (or approximately $230,000) upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, and (iii) tiered royalty payments based on net sales of PEDMARQSI® in the Territory, which royalty payment range from mid-teen percent to mid-twenty percent based on the aggregate net sales of PEDMARQSI® in the Territory. The tiered royalty payments are subject to material reduction if an alternative or generic version of PEDMARQSI® becomes available in any respective country or jurisdiction within the Territory.
Subject to customary rights of each party to earlier terminate the Agreement, the term of the Agreement continues for the longer of: (i) March 15, 2034, or (ii) with respect to any particular country in the Territory, (a) the expiration of regulatory market exclusivity for PEDMARQSI® in such country, or (b) the last-to-expire of all patents for PEDMARQSI® in such country. The term of the Agreement shall be automatically renewed for additional three-year periods unless either party provides the other party written notice of its intent not to renew the Agreement at leastone year prior to the applicable termination date of the Agreement.
The Company evaluated the Agreement under ASC 606 and concluded that Norgine represents a customer in the transaction. There were two performance obligations: a license of functional IP and a material right for future supply. The Company will allocate the transaction price, including currently unrecognized variable consideration, to the two performance obligations based on estimated standalone selling price, which was estimated using projected cash flows. The initial transaction price consisted of the non-refundable upfront payment, a portion of which was allocated to and recognized as License Revenue in the first quarter of 2024 as the requirements for revenue recognition under ASC 606 were met. The portion of the transaction price associated with the material right is deferred and reflected as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue associated with the material right is recognized as contract liabilities under the supply arrangement are made. The remaining forms of consideration are variable because they are dependent on the achievement of sales-based or other milestones. The Company evaluated the constraint on variable consideration and concluded that the milestone payments are dependent on regulatory approvals and actions of third parties, and thus are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company’s influence. Therefore, at contract inception, the milestones are not included in the transaction price as it is not probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur. Sales-based milestones will be recognized as revenue or deferred as part of the material right in the period when the related sales threshold is met. All other milestones will be recognized as revenue or deferred as part of the material right immediately in the period the underlying milestone is achieved. Any consideration related to sales-based royalties will be recognized as revenue or deferred as part of the material right when the related sales occur. For year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $426 of royalty revenue and did not recognize any milestone revenue payments from Norgine sales of PEDMARQSI® pursuant to the Agreement.
In conjunction with entering into the Agreement, the Company paid approximately $1,700 in incremental costs, which were capitalized and recorded within other non-current assets. The Company amortizes the asset over the period of expected benefit using a systematic basis that reflects the pattern of transfer to the customer. A portion that represents the license was recognized immediately and is recorded within selling and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025, $717 in incremental cost was capitalized.
- Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone operating segment principally in the United States.
Fennec’s chief operating decision maker is the senior executive team that includes the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The chief operating decision maker uses net loss to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the single segment or any other part of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends.
The accounting policies of the operating segment are the same as those described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the operating segment and allocates resources based on net loss that also is reported on the consolidated income statement as net loss. The measure of the operating segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.
The chief operating decision maker uses net loss to monitor budget versus actual results and to analyze cash flows in assessing performance of the segment and allocating resources. The significant expenses are presented in the Company’s statements of operations.
- Subsequent Events
On March 16, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Cipla Limited and Cipla USA, Inc. (together, “Cipla”) to resolve the litigation relating to Cipla’s application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for approval to market a generic version of PEDMARK® (sodium thiosulfate injection), captioned Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. Cipla Limited and Cipla USA, Inc., C.A. No. 2:23-cv-00123-JKS-MAH (D.N.J.). Under the terms of the settlement, the lawsuit will be dismissed with each party bearing its own costs, and Cipla has agreed not to enter the market with its generic sodium thiosulfate product until September 1, 2033, or earlier under certain specified circumstances.
The settlement was entered into subsequent to December 31, 2025, and did not exist at that date. Accordingly, the settlement has been accounted for as a non-recognized subsequent event and no adjustments have been made to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
There were no other subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.
