Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Journey Medical Corporation (“Journey” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company that primarily focuses on the selling and marketing of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of dermatological conditions. The Company’s current product portfolio includes eight FDA-approved prescription drugs for dermatological conditions that are marketed in the U.S. The Company acquires rights to products and product candidates by licensing or otherwise acquiring an ownership interest in, funding the research and development of, and eventually commercializing the products through its field sales organization.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company is a controlled subsidiary of Fortress Biotech, Inc. (“Fortress” or “Parent”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2026, the Company had $27.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $24.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of $27.1 million as compared to $29.4 million at December 31, 2025.
The Company relies primarily on cash on hand generated from sales of its pharmaceutical products to customers to fund its core operations. In addition, the Company has relied on the proceeds from its term loan (“Credit Facility”) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), and its at-the-market sales program to meet additional capital and liquidity needs, specifically to fund the research and development and commercialization of Emrosi.
In August 2025, the Company executed a new At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2025 Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc (“B. Riley”) and Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (“Lake Street”) (each, an “Agent” and together, the “Agents”), replacing the previous December 30, 2022 At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley (collectively with the 2025 Sales Agreement, the “ATM”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell up to 3,750,000 shares of common stock, from time to time through or to the Agents, each acting as sales agent or principal.
On September 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SWK (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Company’s existing Credit Facility from December 27, 2027 to June 27, 2028. The Third Amendment also modifies the Revenue-Based Payment provision, as defined in the Credit Agreement, by lowering the applicable revenue threshold, measured on a trailing twelve-month basis, from $70.0 million to $60.0 million. Upon satisfaction of the revised revenue threshold, the interest-only period under the Credit Facility will be extended by one year, with scheduled principal repayments commencing in February 2027 rather than February 2026. The Company satisfied the $60.0 million revenue threshold as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, principal payments under the Credit Facility will begin in February 2027.
On January 15, 2026, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-292758) (the “2026 Shelf”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2026. This shelf registration statement covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and units. The 2026 Shelf replaces the Company’s previous registration statement on Form S-3 filed in December 2022.
The Company regularly evaluates market conditions, its liquidity profile, and financing alternatives, including out-licensing arrangements for its products, to enhance its capital structure. The Company may seek to raise capital through debt or equity financings to expand its product portfolio and for other strategic initiatives, which may include sales of securities under either the Company’s 2026 Shelf, or a new registration statement, or in an unregistered, exempt transaction.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as a result of recurring and historical losses, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, JG Pharma, Inc. (“JG” or “JG Pharma”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Emerging Growth Company
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they apply to private companies. The Company has previously adopted accounting standards using the effective dates applicable to non-emerging growth companies. Accordingly, the loss of emerging growth company status is not expected to result in any change to the timing of adoption of accounting standards and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include provisions for coupons, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, specialty pharmacy discounts, managed care rebates, product returns, and other allowances customary to the pharmaceutical industry. Significant estimates made by management also include inventory realization, valuation of intangible assets, useful lives of amortizable intangible assets and share-based compensation. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business inone segment, which reflects products for the treatment of dermatological conditions. The dermatological segment derives revenues from the sale of branded and authorized generic prescription products that treat certain dermatological conditions. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer.
The CODM assesses performance for the dermatological segment and allocates resources based on consolidated net loss. The CODM uses net loss to monitor budget vs. actual results, which are presented quarterly, as well as to evaluate performance and income generated in deciding how to reinvest profits. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). See Note 18 for segment information.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted
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. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 on January 1, 2026. Upon adoption, the company elected to apply the practical expedient to its current trade receivables arising from contracts with customers. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve the disclosures about specified categories of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, included in certain expense captions presented in the consolidated statement of operations. This update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

SWK Credit Facility
On December 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with SWK. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the original principal amount of up to $20.0 million. On the closing date of the facility, the Company drew $15.0 million. On June 26, 2024, the Company drew the remaining $5.0 million under the Credit Facility. On July 9, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with SWK. The First Amendment increased the original principal amount of the Credit Facility from $20.0 million to $25.0 million. The $5.0 million of additional principal added in the First Amendment was contractually required to be drawn upon FDA approval of Emrosi, subject to the Company receiving approval on or before June 30, 2025. The Company received FDA approval for Emrosi on November 1, 2024 and the Company drew on the remaining $5.0 million on November 25, 2024.
Term loans under the Credit Facility (“Term Loans”) accrue interest, which is payable quarterly in arrears, and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the three-month term SOFR (subject to a SOFR floor of 5%) plus 7.75%. The interest rate resets quarterly.
On September 25, 2025, the Company entered into the third amendment (“Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Company’s existing Credit Facility from December 27, 2027 to June 27, 2028. The Third Amendment also modifies the Revenue-Based Payment provision, as defined in the Credit Agreement, by lowering the applicable revenue threshold, measured based on the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, from $70.0 million to $60.0 million. The Company satisfied the $60.0 million Revenue-Based Payment provision as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the interest-only period under the Credit Facility was extended by one year, with scheduled principal repayments commencing in February 2027 rather than February 2026. Thereafter, the Company will make quarterly principal payments equal to $2.5 million per quarter, or 10.0%, of the outstanding principal amount of the funded Term Loan, with any remaining principal balance due on the maturity date.
The Company may at any time prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans in whole or in part. Upon repayment in full of the Term Loans, the Company will pay an exit fee equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans. Additionally, the Company paid an origination fee of $0.2 million on the closing date of the Credit Facility and incurred issuance costs of $0.2 million, both of which have been recorded as a debt discount. The Company is accreting the carrying value of the Term Loans to the original principal balance plus the exit fee over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The amortization of the discount is accounted for as interest expense. The effective interest rate on the Term Loans as of March 31, 2026 was 14.09%. The fair value of the debt approximates its carrying value.
The Credit Facility also includes both revenue and liquidity covenants, restrictions as to payment of dividends, and is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2026, the contractual maturities of the long-term debt, including the payment of the exit fee, are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| · · · | ||
|---|---|---|
| Years ending December 31, | | Term Loan |

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
License Agreements
The Company has undertaken to make contingent milestone payments to the licensors of its portfolio of drug products and candidates.

For additional information on future milestone payments and royalties, see Note 6.
NOTE 14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the Journey Medical 2015 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) authorizing the Company to grant shares of common stock to eligible employees, directors, and consultants in the form of restricted
stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options and other types of grants. The amount, terms, and exercisability provisions of grants are determined by the Board of Directors. At the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on June 24, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved, among other matters, an amendment to the Plan (the “Amended Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan by 3,000,000 to 10,642,857. At March 31, 2026 there were 1,949,822 shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan.
The Company grants stock options to employees, non-employees and Directors with exercise prices equal to the closing price of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date that the options are granted. Options granted have a term often years from the grant date. Options granted generally vest over athree orfour-year period. Compensation cost for stock options is charged against operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model.
In 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the Journey Medical Corporation 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2023 ESPP”). The Company initially reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for future issuance under the 2023 ESPP. As of March 31, 2026,136,090 shares were available for issuance under the 2023 ESPP.

| Options vested and exercisable at March 31, 2026 | 941,225 | | $2.74 | | $2,093,111 | 4.73 | ||||
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of stock option compensation expense was charged against operations. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 42,150 shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and received proceeds of $0.1 million. At March 31, 2026, the Company had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to all unvested options of $1.0 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years.
The aggregate intrinsic value in the previous table reflects the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2026. The intrinsic value of the Company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock.
Restricted Stock Units
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s RSUs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026:
| | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Forfeited | | (33,869) | | | 4.41 |
| Unvested balance at March 31, 2026 | | 1,702,004 | | $4.97 | |
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense related to RSUs was charged against operations. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 the Company issued 122,267 and 50,421 shares of common stock, respectively, upon vesting of RSUs amounting to $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in total aggregate fair market value, and $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in total intrinsic value. At March 31, 2026,1,702,004 RSUs remained unvested and there was approximately $3.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.
On July 9, 2024, the Board approved and adopted the Journey Medical Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which is considered a non - qualified deferred compensation plan. As part of the Deferred Compensation Plan, the Company offers certain non - employee members of the Board (“Director Participants”) and select executive - level employees (the “Executive Participants”) the ability to defer up to 100% of the payment for services and annual bonuses, respectively, in the form of RSUs. As of March 31, 2026, the executive participants deferred 523,817 shares of Journey Medical Inc. common stock upon the vesting of RSUs.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2023 ESPP provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their eligible earnings toward a semi-annual purchase of the Company’s common stock. The 2023 ESPP is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The employee’s purchase price is derived from a formula based on the closing price of the common stock on the first day of the offering period versus the closing price on the last date of purchase (or, if not a trading day, on the immediately preceding trading day). The offering period under the 2023 ESPP has a duration ofsix months, and the purchase price with respect to each offering period beginning on or after such date is, until otherwise amended, equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the commencement of the applicablesix-month offering period or (ii) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date. The Company estimates the fair value of the common stock under the 2023 ESPP using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value was estimated on the commencement date of the offering period beginning February 1, 2026 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the straight-line attribution approach with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate (3.6%); expected term (0.5 years); expected volatility (57.5%); and an expected dividend yield (0%). The Company recorded $21,718 of stock-based compensation under the 2023 ESPP for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, there was unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $22,348 related to the current ESPP offering period, which ends July 31, 2026.

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. Management has considered the Company’s history of book and tax income and losses incurred since inception, and the other positive and negative evidence, and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company hadno unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any significant change to the unrecognized tax benefit balance.
NOTE 17. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company accounts for and discloses net earnings (loss) per share using the treasury stock method. Net earnings (loss) per share, or basic earnings (loss) per share, is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net earnings (loss) per share assuming dilutions, or diluted earnings (loss) per share, is computed by reflecting the potential dilution from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and the issuance of non-vested restricted stock units.
The Company’s basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, | ||||||
| · · 2026 · · 2025 | ||||||
| Basic and diluted | | 27,305,028 | | | 22,611,040 | |
| Potentially dilutive securities: | | | | | | |
| Unvested restricted stock units | | | 1,702,004 | | | 2,279,540 |
| Stock options | | | 694,693 | | | 1,687,854 |
| Total potentially dilutive securities | | | 2,396,697 | | | 3,967,394 |
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, including unvested restricted stock and options have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, as the effect would be to reduce the loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted income loss per share is the same for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
