Previous report

In addition, on April 15, 2025, the Trump Administration published Executive Order 14273, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First,” which directs the federal government to take measures to reduce drug prices, including eliminating the so-called “pill penalty” under the Inflation Reduction Act that creates a distinction between small molecule and large molecule products for purposes of determining when a drug may be eligible for drug price negotiation. On May 12, 2025, the Trump Administration also published Executive Order 14297, “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients” which generally, among other things, directs the federal government to establish and communicate most-favored-nation price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring prices for American patients in line with comparably developed nations. Further, the Executive Order directs the federal government to support regulatory paths to allow direct-to-patient sales for companies that meet these targets. It also

states that the Administration will take additional aggressive action (for example, examining whether marketing approvals should be modified or rescinded or opening the door for individual drug importation waivers) should manufacturers fail to offer American consumers the most-favored-nation lowest price. It also directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to “take all necessary and appropriate action to ensure foreign countries are not engaged in any act, policy, or practice that may be unreasonable or discriminatory or that may impair United States national security . . . including by suppressing the price of pharmaceutical products below fair market value in foreign countries.” Notably, a similar “Most Favored Nation” pricing rule enacted under the first Trump Administration was subject to an injunction resulting from judicial challenges to the rule, which was formally rescinded by the former Biden Administration in August 2021. Since issuing the Most Favored Nation Executive Order, several large pharmaceutical companies have voluntarily reduced their pricing for certain of their products, including agreeing to participate in a direct-to-patient purchasing program that the Trump Administration has indicated it will establish.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, we had a gross U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward of approximately $102.1 million and state NOL carryovers of approximately $199.0 million. The U.S. federal and state NOL carryforwards expire at various dates through 2037. Federal NOLs and certain state NOLs incurred in 2018 and onward have an indefinite expiration under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and applicable state statutes. We also had U.S. federal tax credits of approximately $1.0 million. We do not have any state tax credits. These tax attributes are generally subject to a limited carryover/carryback period and are also subject to the annual limitations that may be imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Refer to Note 17,Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous wording

In July 2024, in connection with the Ironshore acquisition, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement by and among us, certain of our subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors, BioPharma Credit PLC as collateral agent, and BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP and BPCR Limited Partnership (investment funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP) as the lenders (the “Lenders”) party thereto (the “2024 Loan Agreement”), of which $581.3 million in principal was outstanding as of September 30, 2025 (the “2024 Term Loan”). In addition, we have $241.5 million in 2.875% convertible senior notes due in 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”).

Current wording

In December 2025, we entered into a Credit Agreement by and among us, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Truist Bank, as administrative agent (the “2025 Credit Agreement”), of which $572.8 million in principal was outstanding as of March 31, 2026 (the “2025 Term Loan”). In addition, we have $241.5 million in 2.875% convertible senior notes due in 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”).

Previous wording

Additionally, the indenture governing the 2029 Convertible Notes and our 2024 Loan Agreement contain certain covenants and obligations applicable to us, including, without limitation, covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, make acquisitions or other investments or dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business, which could limit our ability to capitalize on business opportunities that may arise or otherwise place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors.

Previous wording

Failure to comply with covenants in the indenture governing the 2029 Convertible Notes or in the 2024 Loan Agreement would constitute an event of default under those instruments, notwithstanding our ability to meet our debt service obligations. A default under the indenture or a fundamental change could also result in a default under one or more of the agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. In such event, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts that would become due. The 2024 Loan Agreement includes various customary remedies for the lenders following an event of default, including the acceleration of repayment of outstanding amounts under the 2024 Loan Agreement and execution upon the collateral securing obligations under the 2024 Loan Agreement. In addition, because our assets are pledged as a security under the 2024 Loan Agreement, if we are not able to cure any default or repay outstanding borrowings, our assets would be subject to the risk of foreclosure by our lenders.

Further, amounts outstanding under our 2024 Loan Agreement bear an annual interest rate equal to term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread adjustment of 0.13% plus 4.50%, and are subject to quarterly amortization payments equal to 2.50% of the original funded amount of the 2024 Term Loan. We have not hedged our interest rate exposure with respect to our floating rate debt. Accordingly, our interest expense for any period will fluctuate based on SOFR and other variable interest rates, as applicable. To the extent the interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt increase, our interest expense will increase, in which event we may have difficulties making interest payments and funding our other fixed costs, and our available cash flow for general corporate requirements may be adversely affected.

The FDA can require changes to the product labeling for any of our products at any time which can impact our ability to generate product sales. For example, on July 31, 2025, the FDA announced that it will be requiring safety related labeling changes for all opioid pain medications, including clearer risk information, dosing warnings, use limits, treatment guidance, safe discontinuation instructions, information on overdose reversal agents, an enhanced drug interaction warning, additional overdose risk information, and digestive health information. Additionally, if the FDA determines that our post-marketing data for Xtampza ER does not demonstrate that the abuse-deterrent properties result in reduction of abuse, or demonstrates a shift to routes of abuse that present a greater risk, the FDA may find that product labeling revisions are needed, and potentially require the removal of our abuse-deterrence claims, which would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue successfully commercializing Xtampza ER. The imposition of label changes now or in the future could delay or preclude us from realizing the full commercial potential of our products.

Proponents of drug reimportation may attempt to pass legislation that would directly allow reimportation under certain circumstances. For example, by Executive Order, the FDA works with states and Indian Tribes that propose to develop Section 804 Importation Programs in accordance with the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. The FDA released implementing regulations on September 24, 2020, which went into effect on November 30, 2020, providing guidance for states to build and submit importation plans for drugs from Canada. On January 5, 2024, the FDA issued to Florida the first approval for a state importation plan. Several states have pending applications with the FDA, including Colorado, Maine, New Hampshire, and New Mexico. An Executive Order from President Trump dated April 15, 2025, also included directions to the FDA to streamline and improve the drug importation process. If successfully implemented, importation of drugs from Canada may materially and adversely affect the price we receive for any of our product candidates. Legislation or regulations allowing the reimportation of drugs, if enacted, could decrease the price we receive for any products that we may develop and adversely affect our future revenues and prospects for profitability.

Our ability to market and sell any product successfully will also depend in part on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement for these products and related treatments are available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Government authorities and third-party payors determine which medications they will cover and establish reimbursement levels and tiers of preference based on the perceived value and innovation of a given product. A primary trend in the U.S. healthcare industry and elsewhere is cost containment. Government authorities and other third-party payors have attempted to control costs by limiting coverage and the amount of reimbursement for particular medications and establishing administrative hurdles that incentivize use of generic and/or lower cost products first. Increasingly, third-party payors are requiring that drug companies provide them with discounts and rebates from list prices and are challenging the prices charged for medical products. We have agreed to provide such discounts and rebates to certain third-party payors. We expect increasing pressure to offer larger discounts and rebates. Additionally, a greater number of third-party payors may seek discounts and rebates in order to offer or maintain access for our products. We cannot be sure that high-quality coverage and reimbursement will be available for any product that we commercialize and, if reimbursement is available, what the level of reimbursement will be and whether it will be satisfactory.

Previous wording

Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the drug and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost drugs and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Net prices for drugs may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by government healthcare programs or private payors and by any future relaxation of laws that presently restrict imports of drugs from policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement policies.

Further changes to and under the Affordable Care Act remain possible. It is unknown what form any such changes or any law proposed to replace the Affordable Care Act would take, and how or whether it may affect our business in the future. We expect that additional changes to the Affordable Care Act, the Medicare and Medicaid programs, changes in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that allow the federal government to directly negotiate drug prices, and changes stemming from other healthcare reform measures, including any new regulatory measures proposed or implemented by the Trump Administration, especially with regard to healthcare access and cost, as well as other legislation in individual states, could have a material adverse effect on the healthcare industry.

Previous wording

Once an NDA, including a Section 505(b)(2) application, is approved, the product covered thereby becomes a “listed drug” which can, in turn, be cited by potential competitors in support of approval of an ANDA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, FDA regulations and other applicable regulations and policies provide incentives to manufacturers to create modified, non-infringing versions of a drug to facilitate the approval of an ANDA or other application for generic substitutes. These generic equivalents would be significantly less costly than ours to bring to market and companies that produce generic equivalents are generally able to offer their products at lower prices. Additionally, under the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022, FDA will assign therapeutic equivalence ratings for certain prescription drugs approved via the Section 505(b)(2) NDA pathway with respect to other approved drug products and it is unclear how assignment of these ratings will impact the market opportunity for our products. Thus, after the introduction of a generic competitor, a significant percentage of the sales of any branded product are typically lost to the generic product. Accordingly, competition from generic equivalents to our products would substantially limit our ability to generate revenues and therefore, to obtain a return on the investments we have made in our products. In the past, we have initiated litigation with generic competitors that have filed Paragraph IV Certifications challenging certain of our patents. While we have entered into settlement agreements with certain competitors, we are currently pursuing litigation to defend against Paragraph IV Certifications related to Belbuca.

We have sought in the past, and may seek in the future, FDA pediatric exclusivity for some of our products. Pediatric exclusivity, if granted, adds six months of patent term and marketing exclusivity to existing exclusivity periods for all formulations, dosage forms, and indications for the active moiety, provided that at the time pediatric exclusivity is granted there is not less than nine months of term remaining. The regulatory exclusivity period for Nucynta IR in the United States has been extended through July 3, 2026, following the grant of New Patient Population exclusivity in pediatrics by the FDA in August 2023 based on data from pediatric trials which were submitted in response to the FDA's Pediatric Written Request (the “Written Request”) to evaluate the use of Nucynta as a treatment for pain in pediatric patients aged 6 years and older. In June 2024, we announced that the FDA deemed these data to be responsive to its Written Request, granting pediatric exclusivity to the entire Nucynta franchise for an additional six months, to December 27, 2025 for Nucynta ER and January 3, 2027 for Nucynta IR. While we have received pediatric exclusivity for the products, there is no guarantee that we will maintain such exclusivity. Further, we have entered into an authorized generic agreement with Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. (“Hikma”), pursuant to which we granted Hikma certain rights relating to an authorized generic version of the Nucynta Products in the United States. These authorized generics and any other generic entrants into the market may impact our net revenue for the Nucynta Products.

While we have received pediatric exclusivity for the products, there is no guarantee that we will maintain such exclusivity. In January 2026, a generic version of Nucynta IR 50mg, 75mg, and 100mg tablets was approved under an ANDA filed by a third-party with the FDA which carves out pediatric use from its label. Further, we have entered into an authorized generic agreement with Hikma, pursuant to which we granted Hikma certain rights relating to an authorized generic version of the Nucynta Products in the United States. Hikma launched a generic version of Nucynta IR on February 25, 2026 and a generic version of Nucynta ER on March 11, 2026. These authorized generics and any other generic entrants into the market may impact our net revenue for the Nucynta Products.

Our reliance on third parties reduces our control over our manufacturing and commercialization activities but does not relieve us of our responsibility to ensure compliance with all required legal, regulatory and scientific standards. The FDA and other regulatory authorities require our products to be manufactured according to Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations promulgated by the FDA (“cGMP”). Any failure by our third-party manufacturer to comply with cGMP or failure to scale up manufacturing processes, including any failure to deliver sufficient quantities of products in a timely manner, could lead to inspection deficiencies, a shortage of commercial product, recalls, market withdrawals, or potential products liability exposure for any noncompliant distributed products. Such failure could also be the basis for the FDA to issue a warning or untitled letter, withdraw approvals for products previously granted to us, or take other regulatory or legal action, including recall or seizure, total or partial suspension of production, refusal to approve pending applications or supplemental applications, detention of product, refusal to permit the import or export of products, injunction, imposing civil penalties or pursuing criminal prosecution. Additionally, under the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022 (“FDORA”), sponsors of approved drugs and biologics must provide 6 months’ notice to the FDA of any changes in marketing status, such as the withdrawal of a drug, and failure to so could result in the FDA placing the product on a list of discontinued products, which would revoke the product’s ability to be marketed.

Additionally, under the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act of 2022 (“FDORA”), sponsors of approved drugs and biologics must provide 6 months’ notice to the FDA of any changes in marketing status, or for discontinuing or interrupting the supply of certain drugs, such as the withdrawal of a drug, and failure to so could result in a letter citing such failure to comply and public posting of such letter and redacted company response which could damage the company’s reputation.

We currently rely on a sole supplier or limited number of suppliers to manufacture the active pharmaceutical ingredients of our products. We contract with these suppliers for commercial supply to manufacture our products. Further, our suppliers of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for Xtampza ER and the Nucynta Products also supply our primary competitor in the extended-release oxycodone space, Purdue. Identifying alternate sources of active pharmaceutical ingredients for our products is generally time-consuming and costly. Any changes that our suppliers make to the respective drug substance raw materials, intermediates, or manufacturing processes would introduce technical and regulatory risks to our downstream drug product supply. If our suppliers were to terminate an arrangement for an active pharmaceutical ingredient, or fail to meet our supply needs (including as a result of any disruptions in personnel or the global supply chain), we might incur substantial costs and be forced to delay our development or commercialization programs. Any such delay could have a material adverse effect on our business.

There are currently global supply chain disruptions and shortages caused by a variety of factors, including geopolitical turmoil, such as conflicts involving China, the Russia-Ukraine War and the conflict in the Middle East, and changes in domestic and foreign trade policy, including tariffs. While we and our suppliers are still able to receive sufficient inventory of the key materials and components needed, we could experience pressure on our supply chain, including shipping delays, higher prices from suppliers, and reduced availability of materials, including excipients and packaging components. To date, supply chain interruptions have not had a material impact on our results of operations. However, if these disruptions and shortages continue, we may in the future experience a material interruption to our supply chain. Such an interruption could have a material adverse impact on our business, including but not limited to, our ability to timely manufacture and distribute our products.

In addition, these wholesaler customers comprise a significant part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in the United States. This distribution network has undergone, and may continue to undergo, significant consolidation marked by mergers and acquisitions. As a result, a small number of large wholesale distributors control a significant share of the market. Consolidation of drug wholesalers has increased, and may continue to increase, competitive and pricing pressures on pharmaceutical products. We cannot guarantee that we can manage these pricing pressures or that wholesaler purchases will not fluctuate unexpectedly from period to period.

Previous wording

For certain of our products, we are subject to post-marketing requirements to conduct epidemiological studies and clinical trials, or, in some cases, to conduct post-marketing surveillance or observational studies to gather additional information about our products. For our opioid products, we generally intend to fulfill our post-marketing requirements (“PMRs”) by virtue of our participation in the Opioid PMR Consortium (“OPC”). Although we retain discretion in how to discharge such PMRs, the scale and scope of the studies required by the FDA make it cost prohibitive to discharge these requirements other than by joining the OPC that was formed to conduct them. We are a member of the OPC and engage in decision-making as a member of that organization, but do not have a majority. If the OPC fails to conduct sufficiently rigorous studies or is unable to achieve the patient enrollment or other requirements established by the FDA, we may be unable to satisfy our PMRs and the FDA may choose to withdraw or otherwise restrict its approval of our opioid products. Additionally, there may be certain PMRs or post-marketing commitments that we fulfill on our own for our products, including via the conduct of post-marketing surveillance or observational studies. For example, under FDA’s post-marketing requirement 3033-11, holders of NDAs for extended-release and long-acting opioid analgesics to evaluate long-term efficacy of opioid analgesics and the risk of opioid-induced hyperalgesia. If such studies lead to the discovery of adverse findings regarding the safety or benefit profiles of our products, then the FDA may choose to withdraw or otherwise restrict the approval of our products or the FDA or we may determine that labeling changes are warranted based on their finding. Such withdrawal or restriction or labeling changes for our products would have an adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

Events or circumstances outside of our control, including macroeconomic conditions such as recession or depression, inflation, and declines in consumer-spending could result in reduced demand for our products. An economic downturn could result in business closures, higher levels of unemployment, or declines in consumer disposable income which could have an impact on the number of patients seeking and receiving treatment for conditions that might otherwise result in the prescription of our products, as patients may make efforts to avoid or postpone seeking non-essential medical care to allocate their resources to other priorities or essential items. These circumstances, in addition to the impact of geopolitical turmoil, conflicts involving China, wars between Russia-Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East (including any escalation or expansion), social unrest, political instability in the United States and elsewhere, terrorism, cyberwarfare or other acts of war, may result in reduced demand for our products and negatively impact our sales, results of operations, and liquidity.

Current wording

The integration of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, including generative AI, machine learning, and similar tools, into our operations or by our third-party partners may introduce or heighten various data privacy and security risks. We use and integrate AI primarily to support internal productivity activities, including drafting documents, and other non-clinical, non-operational materials. We do not use our AI systems to make autonomous decisions related to clinical development, patient care, pricing, credit, employment decisions, or other regulated or sensitive activities, and outputs generated using AI are subject to human review and approval prior to any external use or publication. Notwithstanding these controls, the use of AI presents risks that could adversely affect our business and reputation, including unintended disclosures of confidential information, compromises of proprietary intellectual property or inadvertent inclusion of third-party intellectual property or other protected material and data privacy and cybersecurity risks. To the extent AI-generated outputs contain inaccuracies, infringe upon third-party intellectual property rights, or include defamatory or otherwise actionable content, we could be exposed to third-party claims, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, and associated defense costs and liabilities, any of which could be material.

international levels. These include specific rules governing privacy, automated decision-making, and other AI-related activities. Compliance requirements in this area may increase our operational costs, require material changes to our business practices, or restrict certain uses of AI technologies. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory standards could result in regulatory investigations, penalties, forced disgorgement of data or insights, and additional constraints on our business, all of which could materially affect our financial results and prospects.

Current wording

The regulatory environment surrounding AI is rapidly evolving, with new and changing laws and regulations emerging at local, national, and international levels. These include specific rules governing privacy, automated decision-making, and other AI-related activities, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time. Compliance requirements in this area may increase our operational costs, require material changes to our business practices, or restrict certain uses of AI technologies. For example, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“EU AI Act”), which has been phased in between 2024 and 2026, imposes significant obligations on companies that deploy AI systems in high-risk contexts, including applications related to clinical development, regulatory submissions, and medical or scientific analysis. To the extent we use or rely on AI tools in such contexts, we may be required to implement additional compliance measures, conduct conformity assessments, or limit or modify our use of certain AI systems, any of which may increase our costs and disrupt our operations. In addition, AI systems, including large language models and other generative AI tools, are known to produce outputs that are factually incorrect, incomplete, or otherwise unreliable, introducing additional operational and regulatory risks into our workflows. In the U.S., the AI regulatory environment is complex and uncertain. Over the past year, states have advanced, and in some cases passed, dozens of laws focusing on AI governance and regulation, including on deployment of AI in healthcare settings. At the federal level, the FDA has advanced guidance and proposed frameworks for regulating AI in drug discovery, marketing submissions, and medical device development. At the same time, the Trump Administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on the enforcement of state AI laws, including through a December 11, 2025, executive order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” So far, these efforts have not been successful at curtailing state action on AI regulation, contributing to a complicated legislative patchwork, which may be litigated in state and federal courts.

Currently, federal agencies in the U.S. are operating under a federal government shutdown due to expiration of the continuing resolution on September 30, 2025. The duration of the current government shutdown is unknown. Without appropriation of additional funding to federal agencies, our business operations related to our product development activities for the U.S. market could be impacted. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.

Current wording

Currently, most federal agencies in the United States are operating under a continuing resolution that funds the federal government through September 30, 2026, including the FDA, DEA and SEC. Without appropriation of necessary funding to federal agencies, our business operations related to our product development activities for the United States market could be impacted. The ability of the FDA, SEC and other domestic and foreign government authorities to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel, accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, leadership and policy changes. Future government shutdowns, like the one that occurred in October 2025, could impact our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.

With the change in the U.S. presidential administration in 2025, there continues to be substantial uncertainty as to whether and how the Trump administration will seek to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our product candidates and any products for which we obtain approval. This uncertainty could present new challenges and/or opportunities as we continue to commercialize products and as we continue to navigate development and approval of our product candidates. Additionally, the Trump administration could issue or promulgate executive orders, regulations, policies or guidance that adversely affect us or create a more challenging or costly environment to pursue the development of new therapeutic candidates. Alternatively, state governments may attempt to address or react to changes at the federal level with changes to their own regulatory frameworks in a manner that is adverse to our operations. If we become negatively impacted by future governmental orders, regulations, policies or guidance as a result of the Trump administration, there could be a material adverse effect on us and our business.
