On November 1, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the terms of the Loan Agreement were revised to, among others, (i) eliminate the undrawn tranche C term loan of up to $25.0 million, (ii) modify the financial covenant relating to minimum net product revenue and remove the market capitalization threshold, and (iii) include an additional minimum financing covenant. The modified financial covenant requires us to generate a minimum net product revenue equal to 75% of our projected net product revenue as set forth in our annual plan for the respective period, tested on a trailing 12 month basis for the month ending December 31, 2023 and then tested on a trailing six month basis, as of the end of each month, for the month ending January 31, 2024 and each month thereafter. Pursuant to the amendment, each annual plan shall be approved by our board of directors and SLR, in its capacity as collateral agent, in its reasonable discretion. Any failure by us to deliver such annual plan on or before December 15 of the prior year shall be an immediate event of default. In addition, we agreed to raise at least $31.0 million in net cash proceeds, during the period commencing on November 1, 2023 and ending on April 1, 2024, from (a) the sale or issuance of the our equity interests, (b) business development or collaboration agreements (including upfront, milestone, royalty and other payments), or (c) subordinated debt, in each case as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. We raised the required capital during the first quarter of 2024 and were in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2024.

We launched our lead product, ZORYVE® (roflumilast) cream 0.3% ("ZORYVE cream"), in August 2022 after obtaining our initial U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, including psoriasis in the intertriginous areas (e.g. groin or axillae), in individuals 12 years of age or older. ZORYVE cream is approved for once-daily treatment of mild, moderate, and severe plaque psoriasis with no limitations on location or duration of use. In October 2023, we received FDA approval for an expanded indication in plaque psoriasis down to 6 years of age. We are currently working with the FDA to potentially further expand this indication in plaque psoriasis down to 2 years of age following the generation of additional clinical data. In April 2023, we had our first commercial launch outside of the United States following Health Canada approval of ZORYVE cream for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in individuals 12 years or age or older. ZORYVE cream is a once-daily topical formulation of roflumilast, a highly potent and selective phosphodiesterase-4 ("PDE4") inhibitor. PDE4 is an established biological target in dermatology, with multiple PDE4 inhibitors approved by the FDA for the treatment of dermatological conditions.

In addition to the approval of ZORYVE cream for plaque psoriasis and ZORYVE foam for seborrheic dermatitis (collectively, "ZORYVE"), we are also developing ZORYVE cream for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. In atopic dermatitis, we have successfully completed three pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials: INTEGUMENT-1 and -2 enrolled subjects 6 years of age or older and INTEGUMENT-PED enrolled subjects between the ages of 2 and 5 years. We are also conducting INTEGUMENT-OLE, an open label extension study of the long-term safety of ZORYVE cream 0.15% in individuals 6 years of age or older and ZORYVE cream 0.05% in subjects between the ages 2 and 5 years. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we announced positive topline data from both INTEGUMENT-1 and -2 in atopic dermatitis, and in September 2023, we announced positive topline data from INTEGUMENT-PED and positive interim results from INTEGUMENT-OLE. In September 2023, we submitted a supplemental new drug application (“sNDA”) for ZORYVE cream 0.15% for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in individuals 6 years of age or older, which was accepted by the FDA and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") target action date of July 7, 2024. Based on the positive results from the INTEGUMENT-PED study in September 2023, we expect to submit a subsequent sNDA for topical ZORYVE cream 0.05% for children ages 2 to 5 years of age if our current sNDA for ZORYVE cream 0.15% is approved for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in individuals 6 years of age or older.
Current wording
in July 2024 for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older, with no limitation on location, body surface area treated, concomitant use, or duration of use. ZORYVE cream 0.15% is a once-daily, steroid-free cream that provides rapid disease clearance and significant reduction in itch and has been specifically developed to be a treatment option for long-term disease control. We have also completed a Phase 3 trial of ZORYVE cream 0.05% in pediatric patients 2 to 5 years of age with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (INTEGUMENT-PED). Based on the positive results from the INTEGUMENT-PED study, and given our recent approval of ZORYVE cream 0.15% for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in individuals 6 years of age or older, we expect to submit a subsequent sNDA for topical ZORYVE cream 0.05% for children 2 to 5 years of age. We are also conducting INTEGUMENT-OLE, an open label extension study of the long-term safety of ZORYVE cream 0.15% in subjects 6 years of age or older and ZORYVE cream 0.05% in subjects between the ages 2 and 5 years, for which we reported positive interim results in September 2023. In July 2024, we entered into a co-promotion agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. ("Kowa"), under which Kowa will leverage its primary care sales force to market and promote ZORYVE cream and ZORYVE foam to primary care practitioners and pediatricians for all FDA approved indications.

If our available cash and marketable securities balances, amounts available under the Loan Agreement, and anticipated future cash flows from operations are insufficient to cover these expenses, we may need to fund our operations through equity or debt financings or other sources, such as future potential collaboration agreements. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms as and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the periods indicated:
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
We began recording U.S. product revenue in the third quarter of 2022 following the FDA approval and subsequent commercial launch of ZORYVE cream 0.3% in August 2022, Canada product revenue in the second quarter of 2023 following the Health Canada approval and subsequent commercial launch of ZORYVE cream 0.3% in June 2023, and additional U.S. revenue in the first quarter of 2024 following the FDA approval and subsequent commercial launch of ZORYVE foam in January 2024.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Product revenue, net, for ZORYVE foam increased by $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by its commercial launch in January 2024.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Cost of sales increased by $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is related primarily to an increase in customer demand for ZORYVE cream and foam. Prior to the dates on which the initial regulatory approvals were received for each product, costs of raw materials were recorded as research and development expense. Therefore, cost of sales will reflect a lower average per unit cost until the related inventory is sold, which is expected to occur over the next fourteen months. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Research and development expenses decreased by $18.1 million, or 30%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of Phase 3 studies of roflumilast cream in atopic dermatitis, coupled with decreases in compensation and personnel-related expenses and consulting costs, partially offset by manufacturing costs incurred related to the development of early stage programs.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $24.1 million, or 27%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation and personnel-related expenses of $11.6 million and an increase in sales and marketing expenses of $11.5 million. These increases were primarily due to our continued commercialization efforts for ZORYVE.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Interest expense increased by $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to the impact of higher interest rates. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
