Current report

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, Rockwell Medical received the Notice of Extension of Term (the "Extension") of the Amended and Restated Products Purchase Agreement (the "Amended Agreement"), dated September 21, 2023, which amended and restated the Products Purchase Agreement, dated July 1, 2019, with DaVita. The Extension extends the term of the Amended Agreement through December 31, 2025 (the "Extension Term"), during which Extension Term product pricing will be increased. DaVita has indicated to Rockwell that DaVita expects volumes to decline during the Extension Term as DaVita works to diversify its supplier base. Rockwell believes that net sales to DaVita in 2025 will decline between approximately $31 million and $37 million. DaVita is required to provide Rockwell with a twelve-month binding forecast on or before December 15, 2024, at which time the Company will be able to determine the actual impact on net sales in 2025. Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, DaVita is committed to purchasing at least the amount provided in the binding forecast. DaVita's product purchases have historically ranged between a gross loss to single digit gross margin, excluding the special large order of premium-priced product described below.

Previous wording

The global macroeconomic environment is uncertain, and could be negatively affected by, among other things, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global capital and credit markets, recent bank failures in the United States, supply chain weaknesses, and instability in the geopolitical environment, including as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and other political tensions, and the occurrence of natural disasters and public health crises. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, recession fears, rising interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and inflationary pressures. At this time, the Company is unable to quantify the potential effects of this economic instability on our future operations. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the global situation, it is not possible to predict the extent to which these conditions could adversely affect the Company's liquidity and capital resources in the future.
