Current report

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance provides a practical expedient that can be elected to be applied to accounts receivable and contract assets, which would allow entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets when estimating expected credit losses for such assets. Entities are required to apply the guidance on a prospective basis. We adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026. Upon adoption, we elected to apply the practical expedient to our current trade receivables arising from contracts with customers. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Current report

Net product revenue increased $2.8 million, or 21.0%, to $15.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily driven by sales of Emrosi in the first quarter of 2026 of $6.3 million compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company launched Emrosi in the first quarter of 2025. This is partially offset by a decrease in Accutane of $0.3 million, the foam franchise products of $0.5 million, and our legacy products of $0.5 million due to continued competitive pressures.

Current report

Cost of goods sold - (excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets) increased by $1.4 million, or 30%, to $6.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $4.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, driven primarily by a $1.3 million non-cash charge related to inventory acquired in the 2021 Qbrexza asset acquisition as well an increase in royalties driven by the incremental net revenue recognized for Emrosi during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Current report

Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased less than $0.1 million, or 6%, to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, driven by the start of amortization on the anti-itch acquired intangible asset during the first quarter of 2026, offset by the completion of amortization on the Accutane intangible asset during the first quarter of 2026.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 4%, to $10.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $10.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in Emrosi launch costs from the prior year quarter.
