Current report

We account for acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business as an asset acquisition. The determination of whether a transaction represents a business combination or an asset acquisition requires significant judgment, including an evaluation of whether the acquired set includes a substantive process and whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets. For transactions accounted for as asset acquisition, we allocate the purchase price, including transaction costs, to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. This allocation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including the selection of valuation methodologies, discount rates, projected cash flows, and useful lives of acquired assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in materially different allocations of the purchase price, which may impact future depreciation and amortization expense. In addition, because goodwill is not recognized in asset acquisitions, the assignment of value to identifiable intangible assets may be greater than in a business combination.

Licensing revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $3,286 compared to $500 in licensing revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in licensing revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due to $1,786 from our out-licensing of INCRELEX® rights outside of the U.S. and $1,500 from the recognition of a development milestone event associated with our divestiture of DS-200.

Current wording

Licensing revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was zero compared to $3,286 in licensing revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Licensing revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to $1,786 from our out-licensing of INCRELEX® rights outside of the U.S. and $1,500 from the recognition of a development milestone event associated with our divestiture of DS-200.

Previous wording

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $1,112 of research and development (“R&D”) expenses as compared to $505 for the same period in 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $5,985 of R&D expenses as compared to $4,126 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $2,155 NDA filing fee for ET-600 and increased expenses associated with our ET-700 and ET-800 project development activities.

Current wording

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred $1,875 of research and development (“R&D”) expenses as compared to $1,161 for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher clinical study expenses primarily associated with our KHINDIVI™ label expansion and increased expenses associated with our ET-700 project development activities.

Previous wording

G&A expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expenses, legal and professional fees, product marketing expenses, distribution expenses, business insurance, travel expenses, and general office expenses. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $8,106 and $5,288, respectively, of G&A expenses. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $26,963 and $16,035, respectively, of G&A expenses. The increase in G&A expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to an increase in product advertising and promotional expenses, higher stock-based compensation expense and an increase in compensation and benefit expenses due to an increase in general and administrative headcount during the current year.

Current wording

G&A expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expenses, legal and professional fees, product marketing expenses, FDA fees, distribution expenses, business insurance, travel expenses, and general office expenses. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $10,446 and $9,170, respectively, of G&A expenses. The increase in G&A expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to higher FDA fees as the Company no longer qualifies for the orphan fee exemption and higher employee-related costs due to increased headcount to support the business.

Previous wording

As of September 30, 2025, we had total assets of $104.5 million, cash and cash equivalents of $37.1 million and working capital of $27.8 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, along with continued product revenues, will be sufficient for at least the next twelve months of our operations. However, our projected estimates for our product development spending, administrative expenses, and our working capital requirements could be inaccurate, or we may experience growth more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which could result in the depletion of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing earlier than we expect to support our operations.

Current wording

As of March 31, 2026, we had total assets of $97.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of $19.7 million and working capital of $9.1 million.

Previous wording

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash from operating activities was $22,075 compared to net cash from operating activities of $1,734 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher cash collections from product sales, an increase in accrued Medicaid rebates, a filing fee refund from the FDA related to ET-400 and the collection of a licensing milestone payment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $284 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,882 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a $1,868 payment associated with the acquisition of the PKU GOLIKE® product license in March 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $394 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $979 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $15,075 and was primarily attributable to a $14,000 payment associated with the acquisition of the U.S. commercial rights to HEMANGEOL® in February 2026 and the $1,000 upfront payment for the licensing of U.S. marketing rights to an ultra-rare disease product candidate (also in February 2026). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash from financing activities was $1,389 compared to $394 during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Licensing Revenues– The Company recognizes revenues from licensing arrangements primarily associated with product license agreements that could contain development activity milestones and agreements to divest the licensing rights to products or product candidates. At the inception of each licensing agreement, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within the contract to identify performance obligations. If a license to the Company's product rights is determined to be distinct from other promised goods or services, it is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. If a license grants the customer a right to use the Company's product license, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer has the ability to use and benefit from the product license. Additionally, revenue is recognized from product license agreements with development activity milestones when these development activities occur per the contractual terms of the agreement.

Principal Versus Agent– Under the terms of the transitional services agreement (“TSA”) between us and Ipsen S.A, we evaluate whether our performance obligation is a promise to transfer product to a customer as the principal, or to arrange for product to be provided by another party using a control model as the agent. This evaluation determined that we are not in control of establishing the transaction price, managing all aspects of the shipment process and taking the risk of loss for delivery, collection and returns. Based on the our evaluation of the control model, we determined that our responsibilities under the TSA was as an agent and not the principal, and correspondingly, such revenue related to products sold by Ipsen S.A are reported on a net versus a gross basis.

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of the acquisition. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The Company also uses best estimates and assumptions to determine the useful lives of those acquired intangible assets that have a finite life.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. The guidance under ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and record expense over the related service periods, which are generally the vesting period of the equity awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the period during which services are rendered by consultants and non-employees until completed. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to completion of the service, the fair value of these awards is remeasured using the then-current fair value of our common stock and updated assumption inputs in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“BSM”).

Previous wording

The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based option awards using the BSM. The BSM requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the calculation of expected term, forfeitures and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, among other inputs. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the options or warrants. Dividends on common stock are assumed to be zero for the BSM valuation of the stock options. The expected term of stock options granted is based on vesting periods and the contractual life of the options. Expected volatilities are based on the Company's historical volatility subsequent to our IPO, which we believe represents the most accurate basis for estimating expected future volatility. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
