ants, as the abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) and NDA for these drug products have no remaining or current patent exclusivity. Chenodiol is standard of care for the treatment of CTX in the U.S. and was commercialized with a medical necessity recognition by the FDA until February 2025. We submitted an NDA for chenodiol for the treatment of CTX in 2024 and received FDA approval for the treatment of adults with CTX in February 2025, which is now commercialized under the brand name Ctexli. The FDA has granted orphan exclusivity for chenodiol for the treatment of CTX.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consist of raw materials, third-party manufacturing costs, personnel, facility and other costs of manufacturing commercial products, transportation and freight, amortization of finite-lived intangible assets and royalty payments payable on net sales of our approved medicines under licensing agreements. Cost of sales may also include period costs related to certain manufacturing services and charges for inventory valuation reserves. In addition, we have firm commitments for the purchase of minimum order quantities for active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”). We periodically evaluate these firm commitments to determine if these commitments are in excess of our needs. If any net loss is determined, we record a charge to cost of sales in the period identified. As of the date of our acquisition of the Bile Acid Medicines from Travere, inventory acquired was valued at its fair value. As a result, our cost of sales exceeded cost to manufacture the inventory and had a negative impact on our gross margin.  

We expect cost of sales to increase in the future mainly due to variable costs associated with increased product sales such as royalties payable and inventory costs, partially offset by lower unit cost of sales for the Bile Acid Medicines, as we sold the acquired inventory valued at fair value in prior periods. We expect cost of sales to remain approximately unchanged as a percent of product sales in the future.
