Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Organization and Description of Business Operations
Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company") was formed on July 3, 2013 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company is a therapeutics company developing and commercializing medications for the treatment of dermatologic diseases, including skin cancers. On July 21, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved YCANTH (VP-102) topical solution for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in Ireland to facilitate regulatory filings in the European Union. The subsidiary had no material operations during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $347.7 million and cash of $11.2 million. The Company has cash outflows from operations of $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. On August 3, 2026, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("PD Credit Agreement") with PD Joint Holdings, LLC Series 2016-B, at which time $12.5 million became available and an additional $15.0 million will be available to borrow, subject to the satisfaction of certain milestones and customary conditions as well as compliance with specified covenants. Based on the current business plan and current capital resources, combined with the uncertainty regarding the availability of additional funding, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company plans to address the conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern by, among other things, borrowing additional amounts available under the PD Credit Agreement and obtaining additional funding through equity offerings, debt financing, collaborations, strategic alliances and/or licensing arrangements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of recorded assets, liabilities and reported expenses that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. See Note 12, "Subsequent Events," for additional information regarding the PD Credit Agreement.
There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate commercialization efforts and development programs.
In November 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of (i)6,499,826 shares of its common stock, (ii) with respect to certain purchasers pre-funded warrants to purchase 5,305,164 shares of common stock in lieu of shares and (iii) in either case, the accompanying Series C warrants to purchase 2,951,241 shares of common stock pursuant to securities purchase agreements with certain investors in a private placement ("Private Placement"). The purchase price per share of common stock and accompanying Series C warrant was $4.24125 per share and the purchase price for the pre-funded warrants and accompanying Series C warrant was $4.24115 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $49.1 million from the Private Placement, after deducting placement fees of $0.9 million.
The Company plans to secure additional capital in the future through amounts available under the PD Credit Agreement, equity or debt financings, partnerships, or other sources to carry out the Company’s planned commercial and development activities. The amount of proceeds the Company may be able to raise pursuant to its currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is limited. The Company is subject to the general instructions of Form S-3 known as the "baby shelf rules." Under these rules, the amount of funds the Company can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using its registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of the shares of the Company's common stock held by its non-affiliates. Therefore, the Company will be limited in the amount of proceeds it is able to raise by selling its securities using its Form S-3 until such time as the Company's public float exceeds $75.0 million.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").
Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods. However, the results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year disclosure to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience as well as other pertinent industry and regulatory authority information, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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.
Segments
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate and discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance.
The Company views its operations and manages its business inone operating segment engaged in developing and commercializing medications for the treatment of dermatologic diseases including skin cancers. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), as the CODM, regularly reviews the entity-wide financial and operational performance as a single unit. No financial information is disaggregated into separate lines of business and the Company does not differentiate the activities of its headquarters from the overall performance of the Company. The CEO makes resource allocation and business process decisions regarding the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources.
The single segment’s principal measure of segment profit and loss is consolidated net (loss) income. The CEO considers actual and forecasted consolidated revenues, significant expenses, and consolidated net (loss) income when evaluating performance. Significant expenses are amounts regularly provided to the CEO and included in consolidated net (loss) income and include selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.
The table below summarizes the significant revenue and expense categories regularly reviewed by the CEO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

(a)Other expense includes interest income, interest expense, change in fair value of derivative liability and other expenses.
Cash
Cash includes deposits in accounts at large financial institutions, and amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the funds are held. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash as of June 30, 2026 comprises a cash deposit of $0.3 million with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as required under the Commercial Credit Card Program with a balance equal to the outstanding credit limit on commercial credit cards. This is included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s financial instruments included accounts payable, accounts receivable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of each instrument approximated fair value, given their short-term nature.
The Company is subject to credit risk from accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2026, one customer represented approximately 94% of the Company's accounts receivable. Based on the Company's periodic credit evaluations, there have been no historical concerns with this customer.
Accounts Receivable
The Company had $10.9 million in accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company hadno allowance for credit losses. An allowance for credit losses is determined based on the Company's assessment of the creditworthiness and financial condition of its customers, aging of receivables, as well as the general economic environment. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. Current payment terms for YCANTH (VP-102) are generally 60 days from the shipment date.
Inventory
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the specific identification method. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities and, when appropriate, records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive the new cost basis, which takes into account the Company’s sales forecast and corresponding expiry dates. Costs related to obsolete inventory were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Financial Instruments – Derivatives
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if the financial instrument itself or any embedded components of a financial instrument potentially qualify as derivatives required to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815 -Derivatives and Hedging.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a derivative liability related to a bifurcated settlement feature of the Company’s OrbiMed Credit Agreement (Note 9). The OrbiMed Credit Agreement provided for afive-year senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million (the "OrbiMed Loan Facility"). The derivative liability was subject to re-measurement at each reporting period, at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of change in fair value of derivative liability in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company adjusted the liability for changes in fair value until the settlement of the OrbiMed Loan Facility, which occurred in November 2025.
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from sales of a single product, YCANTH (VP-102) (the "Product") in accordance with ASC Topic 606 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers. YCANTH (VP-102) became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients with a prescription in the United States in the third quarter of 2023. The Company sells the Product to several pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors (the "Customers"), who in turn sell the Product directly to pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, and federal healthcare programs. Revenue is recognized as the Product is physically delivered to the Customers.
Gross product sales are reduced by corresponding gross-to-net ("GTN") estimates using the expected value method, resulting in the Company’s reported "Product revenue, net" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Product revenue, net reflects the amount the Company ultimately expects to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account the current period gross sales and related cash receipts and the subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that the Company estimates for the various GTN categories discussed below. The GTN estimates are based upon information received from external sources, such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales to end-users during the period, in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amount of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, co-pay assistance and distribution, data, and group purchasing organizations ("GPO") administrative fees may be materially above or below the amount estimated. Variance between actual amounts and estimated amounts may result in prospective adjustments to reported net product revenue.
Each of the GTN estimate categories are discussed below:
Product Returns Allowances: The Customers are contractually permitted to return purchased Product in certain circumstances. The Company estimates reserves for product returns using historical return rates, considering factors such as product held by customers, forecasted sales, and product expiration. Returned Product is typically destroyed, since substantially all returns are due to expiry and cannot be resold.
Government Chargebacks: The Product is subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs, including Medicare and the 340B drug pricing program. Qualifying entities (the "End-Users") purchase the Product from the Customers at their applicable qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount the Company incurs represents the difference between the Company’s contractual sales price to the Customers and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the government program.
Medicaid Rebates: The Product is subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments, which may include supplemental rebates. These rebates arise when a patient treated with the Product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for the Product under the applicable Medicaid program. The Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require the Company to project the magnitude of its sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates.
Managed Care Rebates: Managed care rebates represent our estimated obligations to third parties, primarily pharmacy benefit managers. Under the terms of these contracts, the Company offers rebates to these third parties. The rebates are calculated based on the applicable contracts, estimated during the period that the revenue is recognized and paid by the Company in subsequent periods.
Patient Assistance: The Company offers a voluntary co-pay patient assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to eligible patients with a prescription drug co-payment required by commercial payors. The calculation of the current liability for this assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with YCANTH (VP-102) that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period.
Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of the Company’s products for various commercial services including contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually determined percentage of the Company’s applicable sales.
License and Collaboration Revenues
The Company has generated collaboration revenue through its licensing and collaboration arrangements. The terms of the arrangements typically include payments to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, up-front license fees; regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply of product and services; materials shipped to support development; and royalties on net sales of licensed products.
In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, the Company performs the following steps:
(i)identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
(ii)determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
(iii)measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv)allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v)recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company’s revenue arrangements may include the following:
Up-front License Fees: If a license is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from non-refundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.
Milestone Payments: At the inception of an agreement that includes regulatory or commercial milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the probability of achievement of each milestone under its current agreements. The Company didnot recognize any milestone revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and recognized $8.0 million in development milestone revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 because it became probable that a development milestone would be met and a significant reversal of revenue would not occur related to the previously constrained portion of the transaction price.
Royalties: If the Company is entitled to receive sales-based royalties from its collaborators, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the
Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, provided the reported sales are reliably measurable, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
Manufacturing Supply and Research Services: Arrangements that include a promise for supply of drug substance or drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the licensee’s discretion are generally considered as options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the licensee and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations. If not, the supply services are recognized as collaboration revenue as the Company provides the services.
The Company receives payments from its licensees based on schedules established in each contract. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the licensees and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the licensees will be one year or less.
Deferred Revenue: The Company records deferred revenue when a customer prepays for goods or services, or when the Company has an unconditional right to bill but has not yet delivered the performance obligation. Deferred revenue is primarily comprised of deposits on customer product orders yet to be delivered. The Company expects to recognize all of the deferred revenue within the next 9 months.
Cost of product revenue includes the cost of inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials for YCANTH (VP-102) sales.
Cost of license and collaboration revenue consisted of commercial supplies and development activity with Torii.
Fair Value Measurement
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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 classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: 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 values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
At June 30, 2026, the Company’s financial instruments included cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of accounts payable, accounts receivable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. No assets or liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Net (Loss) Income Per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed using the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were issued in an underwritten offering in November 2024 and the Private Placement in November 2025 (see Note 6). The pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price of $0.0001 per share is non-substantive and is virtually assured. Diluted net income per share includes the effect from the potential exercise of securities, such as stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and common stock warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock, using the treasury stock method.
Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the diluted per share calculation when their effect is anti-dilutive, including in periods of net loss or when inclusion does not result in a decrease in earnings per share.

Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On June 6, 2022, plaintiff Kranthi Gorlamari ("Plaintiff") filed a putative class action complaint captioned Gorlamari v. Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors ("Defendants"). On January 12, 2023, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging that Defendants violated federal securities laws by, among other things, failing to disclose certain manufacturing deficiencies at the facility where our contract manufacturer produced bulk solution for the YCANTH (VP-102) drug device and that such deficiencies posed a risk to the prospects for regulatory approval of YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum. The amended complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages and other relief on behalf of Plaintiff and all other persons and entities which purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between the period from May 19, 2021 and May 24, 2022 (the "Putative Class Period").
On January 12, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court held that Plaintiff’s claims relating to statements made in May and June 2021 were sufficiently pled, but dismissed Plaintiff’s claims relating to all other statements made during the Putative Class Period. On January 26, 2024, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in an attempt to cure certain of the deficiencies identified in the January 12, 2024 ruling. On September 3, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The Court dismissed Plaintiff’s claims related to one of the two individual defendants but held that Plaintiff’s claims against the Company and the other individual defendant were sufficiently pled. On March 4, 2026, the Court granted Plaintiff's motion for class certification. On July 10, 2026, following mediation in June, the parties subsequently entered into a term sheet reflecting an agreement in principle to settle the litigation. The settlement remains subject to customary conditions, including execution of final settlement documents, notice to the class and court approval. As a result of these developments, the Company recorded an accrued legal settlement liability of $4.0 million, representing the full amount of its estimated settlement obligation. Because the Company is the primary obligor under the term sheet and will be the primary obligor in the final settlement documents, the liability has been recognized on a gross basis and is presented as an accrued legal settlement liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also recognized a separate insurance recovery asset of $2.3 million, representing amounts that are probable of recovery under its directors' and officers' liability insurance policies. The insurance recovery asset is presented separately within current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The net impact of the settlement, after consideration of the expected insurance recovery, was $1.7 million, which was recorded as legal settlement expense, net of insurance recovery, within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
In addition, on October 21, 2024, May 12, 2025, and June 26, 2025, plaintiffs Ivan S. Cohen, Paul Cannon, and Joseph Bonaccorso, respectively, each filed a putative stockholder derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Each derivative complaint names the Company as a nominal defendant and purports to bring claims on behalf of the company against certain of our current and former directors and officers for alleged violations of the federal securities laws and breaches of their fiduciary duties in relation to substantially the same factual allegations as the above-described Gorlamari class action lawsuit. Each derivative complaint primarily seeks to recover for the Company compensatory damages for losses allegedly sustained related to the facts alleged, restitution, and punitive damages. On December 16, 2024, the Court granted the parties' joint stipulation to stay the Cohen derivative lawsuit. On July 21, 2025, the Court granted the parties' joint stipulation in the Cohen and Cannon derivative lawsuits to consolidate the two actions and stay the consolidated action. On July 24, 2025, the plaintiff in the Bonaccorso derivative lawsuit filed a corrected complaint to clarify that the named plaintiff "is not Joseph (Joe) Bonaccorso, the former Chief Commercial Officer" of the Company. On July 29, 2025, the plaintiff in the Bonaccorso derivative lawsuit filed a notice voluntarily dismissing the action without prejudice. On August 5, 2026, the court in the consolidated Cohen and Cannon derivative action entered an order continuing the stay of the action until the conclusion of the settlement approval process in the Gorlamari class action lawsuit. The derivative actions are covered under the same directors' and officers' liability insurance policies as the securities class action, and amounts incurred in connection with these matters are applied against the same self-insured retention.
The Company is also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. The Company's management believes the ultimate liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings will not materially affect the financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.

As a result of the November 2024 Offering, the OrbiMed warrant exercise price was adjusted down to $34.50 per share. As a result of the Private Placement, the OrbiMed warrant exercise price was adjusted down to $23.55 per share. The Torii warrants become exercisable at different clinical milestones related to the global Phase 3 Program for common warts (the "Program"). The related expense is recognized as research and development expense as costs are incurred for the Program under the R&D funding arrangement (See Note 10).

| Options vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2026 | 500,797 | $27.70 | 7.5 | $110,517 |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between fair market value of the Company’s common stock price and, as of June 30, 2026, the exercise price of the stock options. Total options granted of 1,633,113 consist of 1,117,449 market-based stock option awards and 515,664 service-based option awards.
Service-Based Stock Option Awards
The weighted average grant date fair value per share for the employee and non-employee stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $5.10.

Market-Based Stock Option Awards
In December 2025 and February 2026, the Board approved certain market-based stock option awards for members of the executive leadership team. The awards are subject to multiple substantive contingencies, including (i) approval by the Company's stockholders of an amendment to the 2018 Plan, (ii) achievement of specified stock price-based vesting conditions, and (iii) continued service. In June 2026, the Company's stockholders approved the amendment to the 2018 Plan, as described in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, resulting in the satisfaction of the applicable approval contingency. As a result,1,117,449 stock options were granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the grant-date fair value of the awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model to account for the stock price-based vesting conditions. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million related to these awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested stock option awards granted was $4.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Note 10—License and Collaboration Agreements
Torii Agreements
On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the "Torii Agreement") with Torii, pursuant to which the Company granted Torii an exclusive license to develop and commercialize the Company’s product candidates that contain a topical formulation of cantharidin for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum and common warts in Japan, including YCANTH (VP-102). Additionally, the Company granted Torii a right of first negotiation with respect to additional indications for the licensed products and certain additional products for use in the licensed field, in each case in Japan.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had received milestone payments from Torii in prior periods totaling $38.0 million, including an $8.0 million milestone payment in July 2025 and a $10.0 million milestone payment in September 2025, as described below. As of June 30, 2026, the Company is entitled to receive from Torii an additional $32.0 million in aggregate payments, contingent on achievement of specified regulatory and sales milestones, in addition to transfer price payments for supply of product, which will begin to be replaced by royalty payments as part of the manufacturing transfer.
The transfer price and royalty payments shall be payable, on a product-by-product basis, beginning on the first commercial sale of such product and ending on the latest of (a) expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim contained in certain licensed patents in Japan that cover such product, (b) expiration of regulatory exclusivity for the first indication for such product in Japan, and, (c) (i) with respect to the first product, ten years after first commercial sale of such product, and, (ii) with respect to any other product, the later of (x)ten years after first commercial sale of the first product and (y)five years after first commercial sale of such product.
The Torii Agreement expires on a product-by-product basis upon expiration of Torii’s obligation under the agreement to make transfer price payments for such product. Torii has the right to terminate the agreement upon specified prior written notice to us. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of the agreement by, or insolvency of, the other party. The Company may terminate the agreement in the event that Torii commences a legal action challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any licensed patents.
The Company recognized collaboration revenue of $0.8 million and $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to commercial supply and development activity in the current period and including milestone revenue in the prior period. The Company recognized license and collaboration revenue of $1.5 million and $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cost of license and collaboration revenue consists of expenses incurred by the Company for commercial supply and to support development and testing services.
On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Torii Agreement (the "First Amendment"). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company and Torii agreed on the framework of a cost sharing arrangement for the global Phase 3 program of YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of common warts (the "Program"), with Torii paying all the costs of the Program when due and the Company repaying Torii half of the cost (the "Company Portion"). The results of the Program will be utilized by the Company in the filing of its new drug application with the FDA for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of common warts. The Company Portion accrues interest annually at the greater of (i) the one-month SOFR plus 2% and (ii)6%. Torii may recoup the Company's share of the costs plus applicable interest against certain development milestone payments in the Torii Agreement that would otherwise be due to the Company under the terms of the Torii Agreement. In addition, if Torii has not received payment or other recoupment in full of the Company Portion plus applicable interest within 60 months after August 20, 2025, the date on which Torii made its first payment for the Program costs, Torii may invoice the Company for the remaining Company Portion plus applicable interest.
In conjunction with the First Amendment, the Company issued Torii a warrant to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $95.60. The warrant has a term often years and is exercisable only with respect to the shares that have vested as of the date of exercise. One-third of the shares underlying the warrant vested in December 2025, when the first patient was dosed in the Program, with the remaining vesting occurring one-third on the date that the database lock with respect to the trial occurs and one-third on the date the Company submits a new drug application to the FDA for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of common warts.
On June 27, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Torii Agreement (the "Second Amendment"), which further revised the details of the cost sharing arrangement initially negotiated as part of the First Amendment. The Second Amendment accelerated an $8.0 million milestone payment, which was paid to the Company in July 2025, following Torii's approval of the study plan and execution of the agreement with the clinical research organization ("CRO"). The Company recognized revenue related to this milestone in the second quarter of 2025, when it became probable that the associated performance obligations were met. The milestone payment was initially conditioned upon the dosing of the first patient as part of the Program. In September 2025, Torii paid to the Company a $10.0 million milestone payment upon the approval of TO-208, referred to as YCANTH in the U.S., for molluscum contagiosum in Japan, in cash, rather than as an offset to costs of the Program as originally contemplated under the First Amendment. Torii will be paying the first $40.0 million of out-of-pocket costs when due, with the Company repaying to Torii half of such costs over time. Consistent with the First Amendment, to repay its portion of the costs of the Program, the Company will offset amounts otherwise due from Torii for future royalties, certain transfer price payments and remaining development milestones. To the extent the cost of the Program exceeds $40.0 million, the Company will pay such excess costs, up to a specified maximum amount, and Torii will repay to the Company half of such costs. The Second Amendment also sets forth that the Company will initiate a manufacturing transfer to Torii, which is expected to take several years, that will allow Torii to produce YCANTH (TO-208) applicators to be sold in Japan. In the interim, Torii will continue to purchase applicators from the Company. After the transfer of at least one component of the manufacturing process, the Company will begin earning royalties related to net sales in Japan of applicators manufactured by Torii and/or its manufacturing partners in lieu of the transfer price for completed applicators.
The Company is accounting for the Second Amendment as a R&D funding arrangement since the Company is obligated to repay Torii regardless of the outcome of the research such that a substantive and genuine transfer of risk has not occurred. The R&D Funding Liability recorded on the balance sheet represents the portion that the Company will pay to Torii, as described above, and the corresponding R&D asset ("Deferred R&D Services") represents the Company's right to prepaid research and development services. The Deferred R&D Services asset is classified between current and non-current assets based on the expected timing of service performance.
The Company expenses the Deferred R&D Services within R&D expense as the services are performed by the CRO. Because the R&D Funding Liability is with a collaborator and the interest rate is below market, the Company is imputing interest expense using a 12% market rate of interest, and the difference between the market rate of interest and the rate being charged by Torii reduces research and development expense. Interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
As part of the Program, the Company will also directly contract with third parties for certain clinical supply and distribution services that will be reimbursed by Torii and those reimbursements will be recognized as contra-research and development expense once incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.8 million as contra-research and development expense. Since the inception of the Program, the Company has recorded $1.6 million as contra-research and development expense related to this project.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, total program costs incurred under the arrangement were $6.5 million and $9.9 million, of which $3.3 million and $5.0 million represented the Company's share and was recognized as research and development expense. The remaining costs represented Torii's share of the program costs and were not reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. Since the inception of the Program, total program costs incurred under the arrangement were $12.2 million, of which $6.1 million represented the Company's share.
Lytix Agreement
In August 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Lytix Biopharma ASA ("Lytix") for the use of licensed technology, referred to as VP-315, to research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import, and otherwise commercialize products for use in all malignant and pre-malignant dermatological indications, other than metastatic melanoma and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (the "Lytix Agreement"). As part of the Lytix Agreement, the Company has paid Lytix milestone fees of $3.6 million in previous periods. The Company is also obligated to pay up to $111.0 million contingent on achievement of specified development, regulatory, and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide annual net sales ranging in the low double digits to the mid-teens, subject to certain customary reductions. The Company’s obligation to pay royalties expires on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis on the later of the expiration or abandonment of the last to expire licensed patent covering VP-315 anywhere in the world and expiration of regulatory exclusivity for VP-315 in such country. Additionally, all upfront fees and milestone-based payments received by the Company from a sublicensee will be treated as net sales and will be subject to the royalty payment obligations under the Lytix Agreement, and all royalties received by the Company from a sublicensee shall be shared with Lytix at a rate that is initially 50% but decreases based on the stage of development of VP-315 at the time such sublicense is granted.
