***(B) Equity Transactions***

*ATM Facility*

The Company established its first ATM facility in September 2019, and since inception to June 30, 2025, the Company has sold 27,315,145 shares of Common Stock under its ATM Facility which has generated net cash proceeds of approximately $81,794, net of commissions and other transactions costs of $3,849. On April 3, 2024, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3, the 2024 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 23, 2024. Included as part of the 2024 Registration Statement are (i) a base prospectus registering the offer, issuance and sale of up to $250,000 worth of Common Stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units and (ii) a $100,000 ATM facility prospectus. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no shares of Common Stock sold under the ATM facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold 7,457,627 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM prospectus and the Amended Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co.

**Note 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

*Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of June 30, 2025:*

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures* ASU 2023-0*7*, which requires all public entities, including public entities with a single reportable segment, to provide in interim and annual periods one or more measures of segment profit or loss used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items as well as incremental qualitative disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 4, *Segment Reporting* for the required disclosure.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, *Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)*: *Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity*. This ASU was issued to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Among other provisions, the amendments in this ASU significantly change the guidance on the issuer's accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity such that fewer conversion features will require separate recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants, will require liability treatment. More specifically, the ASU reduces the number of models that may be used to account for convertible instruments from five to three, amends diluted EPS calculations for convertible instruments, modifies the requirements for a contract that may be settled in an entity's own shares to be classified in equity and requires expanded disclosures intended to increase transparency. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, *Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)*: *Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions*. This ASU was issued to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, *Fair Value Measurement*, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, and to introduce new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

*Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Adopted as of June 30, 2025:*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.* ASU 2024-03 will require the Company to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, included in certain expense captions in the Statements of Operations, and Comprehensive Loss as well as qualitatively describe the remaining amounts included in those captions. ASU 2024-03 will also require the Company to disclose both the amount and the Company's definition of selling expenses. These disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on disclosures to its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—*Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.* This ASU was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). It further requires disclosure on an annual basis of the following information about income taxes paid: 1. The amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes 2. The amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Additionally, it requires the following information disclosure: 1. Income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign 2. Income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The ASU eliminates certain current disclosure requirements. These disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption of the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

amendments permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of ASU 2023-09 on disclosures to its financial statements.

**Note 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risks and Uncertainties**

The Company assesses liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's cash requirements for the remainder of 2025 and beyond include expenses related to continuing development and clinical evaluation of its products, manufacture and supply costs, costs of regulatory filings, patent prosecution expenses and litigation expenses, expenses related to commercialization of its products, as well as costs to comply with the requirements of being a public company operating in a highly regulated industry. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $60,536 of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has experienced a history of net losses. The Company's accumulated deficits totaled $399,692 as of June 30, 2025. The net losses and accumulated deficits were partially offset by gross margins from sales of commercialized licensed and proprietary products, license fees, milestone and royalty payments from commercial licensees and co-development parties. The Company's funding requirements have been met by its cash and cash equivalents, as well as its equity and debt offerings, including the 13.5% Senior Secured Notes as further discussed in Note 14, *Long-Term Debt*, the ATM facility and other equity offerings, including the underwritten public offering as discussed in Note 1 Part B, *Equity Transactions.*

While the Company's ability to execute its business objectives and achieve profitability over the longer term cannot be assured, the Company's on-going business, existing cash and cash equivalents, expense management activities, including, but not limited to the ceasing of R&D activities, as well as access to the equity capital markets through its ATM facility, provide near term liquidity for the Company to fund its operating needs for at least the next twelve months as it continues to execute its business strategy.

**Note 4**. **Segment Reporting**

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has identified one operating and reportable segment. The Company defines its operating segment based on internally reported financial information that is regularly reviewed by the CODM to analyze financial performance, make decisions, and allocate resources. The Company's CEO is the CODM. The Company manages its operations as a single segment for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. This segment encompasses the development and advancement of a product pipeline for the treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and the Adrenaverse epinephrine prodrug pipeline platform. Additionally, the Company serves as the exclusive manufacturer for its proprietary product, Libervant, while it had U.S. market access, and four licensed commercialized products.

The CODM reviews the segment's profit or loss based on net loss reported on the Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The CODM also considers forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for expenses deemed significant. Furthermore, the CODM reviews the segment's assets based on total assets reported on the Condensed Balance Sheets. All long-lived assets are held in the United States. While the Company generated $10,003 and $20,099 in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $18,723 and $32,152 in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, management expects the Company to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it advances product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials, ultimately seeking regulatory approval. The CODM uses cash forecast models to guide investment decisions and assess entity-wide operating results and performance. Net loss is used to monitor budget and rolling forecasts versus actual results. The CODM views specific categories within R&D expenses, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses as significant due to their direct correlation with cash burn and profitability.

**Note 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenues and Trade Receivables, Net**

The Company's revenues include (i) sales of manufactured products pursuant to contracts with commercialization licensees, (ii) license and royalty revenues, (iii) co-development and research fees generally in the form of milestone payments, and (iv) sales of its proprietary CNS product, Libervant, for patients between two to five years of age while Libervant had U.S. market access through April 2025. The Company recognizes revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

or services. To achieve this core principle, a five-step model is applied that includes (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligation in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

*Performance Obligations* - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in the current revenue recognition standard. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a distinct good. When identifying performance obligations, the Company considers all goods or services promised in a contract regardless of whether explicitly stated in the contract or implied by customary business practice. The Company's performance obligations consist mainly of transferring goods and services identified in the contracts, purchase orders, invoices or statements of work.

*Manufacture and supply revenue* – this revenue is derived from products manufactured exclusively for specific customers according to their strictly-defined specifications, subject only to specified quality control inspections. Accordingly, at the point in time when quality control requirements are satisfied, revenue net of related discounts is recorded.

*License and Royalty Revenu*e – license revenues are determined based on an assessment of whether the license is distinct from any other performance obligations that may be included in the underlying licensing arrangement. If the customer is able to benefit from the license without provision of any other performance obligations by the Company and the license is thereby viewed as a distinct or functional license, the Company then determines whether the customer has acquired a right to use the license or a right to access the license. For functional licenses that do not require further development or other ongoing activities by the Company, the customer is viewed as acquiring the right to use the license as, and when, transferred and revenues are generally recorded at a point in time, subject to contingencies or constraints. For symbolic licenses providing substantial value only in conjunction with other performance obligations to be provided by the Company, revenues are generally recorded over the term of the license agreement. Such other obligations provided by the Company generally include manufactured products, additional development services or other deliverables that are contracted to be provided during the license term. Payments received in excess of amounts ratably or otherwise earned are deferred and recognized over the term of the license or as contingencies or other performance obligations are met.

Royalty revenue is estimated and recognized when sales under supply agreements with commercial licensees are recorded, absent any contractual constraints or collectability uncertainties. Royalties based on sales of licensed products have been recorded in this manner.

Revenue recognition arising from milestone payments is dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the milestone payments. Milestone payments based on a non-sales metric such as a development-based milestone (i*.e*., an NDA filing or obtaining regulatory approval) represent variable consideration and are included in the transaction price subject to any constraints. If the milestone payments relate to future development, the timing of recognition depends upon historical experience and the significance a third party has on the outcome. For milestone payments to be received upon the achievement of a sales threshold, the revenue from the milestone payments is recognized at the later of when the actual sales occur or the performance obligation to which the sales relate to has been satisfied.

*Co-development and Research Fees* – co-development and research fees are earned through performance of specific tasks, activities or completion of stages of development defined within a contractual development or feasibility study agreement with a customer. The nature of these performance obligations, broadly referred to as milestones or deliverables, are usually dependent on the scope and structure of the project as contracted, as well as the complexity of the product and the specific regulatory approval path necessary for that product. Accordingly, the duration of the Company's R&D projects may range from several months to approximately three years. Although each contractual arrangement is unique, common milestones included in these arrangements include those for the performance of efficacy and other tests, reports of findings, formulation of initial prototypes, production of stability clinical and/or scale-up batches, and stability testing of those batches. Additional milestones may be established and linked to clinical results of the product submission and/or approval of the product by the FDA and the commercial launch of the product.

*Proprietary product revenue, net* - this net revenue is recognized when product is shipped and title passes to the customer, typically at time of delivery. At the time of sale, estimates for various revenue allowances are recorded based on historical trends and judgmental estimates. For sales of Libervant for patients between two to five years of age while Libervant had U.S. market access through April 2025, returns allowances and prompt pay discounts are estimated based on contract terms and historical return rates, if available, and these estimates are recorded as a reduction of receivables. Once receivables are collected, allowances are reclassified and treated as accrued liabilities. Similarly determined estimates are recorded relating to wholesaler service fees, co-pay support redemptions, and other rebates, and these estimates are reflected as a component of accrued liabilities. Once related variable considerations are resolved and uncertainties as to incurred amounts are eliminated,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

estimates are adjusted to actual allowance amounts. Provisions for these estimated amounts are reviewed and adjusted on no less than a quarterly basis.

*Contract Assets* - in certain situations, customer contractual payment terms provide for invoicing in arrears. Accordingly, some, or all performance obligations may be completely satisfied before the customer may be invoiced under such agreements. In these situations, billing occurs after revenue recognition, which results in a contract asset supported by the estimated value of the completed portion of the performance obligation. These contract assets are reflected as a component of other receivables within Trade and other receivables within the Condensed Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, such contract assets were $645 and $578, respectively, consisting primarily of products and services provided under specific contracts to customers for which earnings processes have been met prior to shipment of goods or full delivery of completed services, as well as estimated receivables from contracts with third parties.

*Contract Liabilities* - in certain situations, customer contractual payment terms are structured to permit invoicing in advance of delivery of a good or service. In such instances, the customer's cash payment may be received before satisfaction of some, or any, performance obligations that are specified. In these situations, billing occurs in advance of revenue recognition, which results in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reflected as deferred revenue within the Condensed Balance Sheets. As remaining performance obligations are satisfied, an appropriate portion of the deferred revenue balance is credited to earnings. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, such contract liabilities were $21,027 and $21,053, respectively.

*Costs to Obtain Contracts* - in certain situations, the Company may incur incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs, if expected to be recovered, are recognized as an asset and reflected as other assets within the Condensed Balance Sheets. The asset is amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, such costs to obtain contracts were $465 and $480, respectively.

The Company's revenues were comprised of the following:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended<br>June 30,** | **Six Months Ended<br>June 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Manufacture and supply revenue | $9583 | $8123 | $16776 | $18641 |

---

(a) License and royalty revenue decreased 93%, or $10,381 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year and 87%, or $10,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases were primarily due to the one-time recognition of deferred revenues of $7,000 due to the termination of the Licensing and Supply Agreement with Haisco and $3,317 due to the termination of the Licensing Agreement with MTPA in the prior year.

*Disaggregation of Revenue*

The following table provides disaggregated net revenue by geographic area:

and supply revenue, and license and royalty revenue), and Indivior (manufacture and supply revenue, license and royalty revenue and co-development and research fees) for revenue markets outside of the United States.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, United States revenues were derived primarily from Indivior (manufacture and supply revenue, and co-development and research fees), MTPA (milestone revenue that was previously recorded as deferred revenue and recognized due to the termination of the contract), and Assertio (manufacture and supply revenue, license and royalty revenue and co-development and research fees).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, ex-United States revenues were derived primarily from Indivior (manufacture and supply revenue, license and royalty revenue and co-development and research fees), Haisco (an upfront payment received in September 2022 that was previously recorded as deferred revenue and recognized due to the termination of the contract), and Hypera (manufacture and supply revenue) for revenue markets outside of the United States.

Trade and other receivables, net consist of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Trade receivables | $9654 | $4919 |
| Contract and other receivables | 2210 | 2473 |
| Less: sales-related allowances | (582) | (48) |
| Reclassification into Accrued distribution expenses and sales-related allowances | 582 |  |
| Trade and other receivables, net | $11864 | $7344 |

---

Contract and other receivables totaled $2,210 and $2,473 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, consisting primarily of contract assets and other receivables. Contract assets consist of products and services provided under specific contracts to customers for which earnings processes have been met prior to shipment of goods or full delivery of completed services, as well as estimated receivables from contracts with third parties. Other receivables include the current portion related to the Monetization royalty receivable and other receivables. Sales-related allowances as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were estimated in relation to revenues recognized for sales of Libervant for patients between two to five years of age while Libervant had U.S. market access.

*Allowance for Credit Losses*

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable, which is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance are classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status. It also considers customer-specific information, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss data. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the adequacy of these reserves. The allowance for credit losses was $0 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the changes in the allowance for credit losses:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,<br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |
| Balance at beginning of the period | $— | $14 |
| Allowance reduction |  | (14) |
| Balance at end of the period | $— | $— |

---

*Sales-Related Allowances*

Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of prompt payment discounts, wholesaler service fees, returns allowances, chargebacks, rebates and co-pay support redemptions. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. These amounts are treated as variable consideration, estimated and recognized as a reduction of the transaction price at the time of the sale. The Company includes these estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for such transaction will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The calculation of some of these items requires management to make estimates based on sales data, historical return data, contracts and other related information that may become known in the future. The adequacy of these provisions is reviewed on no less than a quarterly basis.

Accruals for returns allowances and prompt pay discounts are reflected as a direct reduction of trade receivables as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and accruals for wholesaler service fees, co-pay support redemptions and other rebates are reflected as current liabilities. The accrued balances relative to these provisions included in Trade and other receivables, net and accrued expenses were $0 and $1,008, respectively, as of June 30, 2025, and $48 and $665, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. See Note 13, *Accrued Expenses*.

*Concentration of Major Customers*

Customers are considered major customers when net revenue exceeds 10% of total revenue for the period or outstanding receivable balances exceed 10% of total receivables. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Indivior and Hypera, represented approximately 67% and 23%, of total revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, Indivior and Hypera exceeded the 10% threshold for outstanding receivable balances and represented approximately 66% and 17% of total trade and other receivables, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Indivior, Haisco, and MTPA exceeded the 10% threshold for revenue and represented approximately 54%, 22%, and 11% of total revenue, including the one-time recognition of deferred revenue, respectively.

**Note 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Material Agreements**

***Commercial Exploitation Agreement with Indivior***

In August 2008, the Company entered into the Indivior License Agreement (with subsequent amendments) with Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceuticals, Inc. who was later succeeded to in interest by Indivior. Pursuant to the Indivior License Agreement, the Company agreed to manufacture and supply Indivior's requirements for Suboxone<sup>®</sup>, a sublingual film formulation, both inside and outside the United States on an exclusive basis.

Under the terms of the Indivior License Agreement, the Company is required to manufacture Suboxone in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practice standards and according to the specifications and processes set forth in the related quality agreements the Company entered into with Indivior. Additionally, the Company is required to obtain API for the manufacture of Suboxone directly from Indivior. The Indivior License Agreement specifies a minimum annual threshold quantity of Suboxone that the Company is obligated to fill and requires Indivior to provide the Company with a forecast of its requirements at various specified times throughout the year. The Indivior License Agreement provides for payment by Indivior of an agreed upon purchase price per unit until January 1, 2025 and, thereafter, that is subject to annual adjustments based on changes in an agreed upon price index. In addition to the purchase price for the Suboxone supplied, Indivior is required to make certain single digit percentage royalty payments tied to net sales value (as provided for in the Indivior License Agreement) outside of the U.S., subject to annual maximum amounts and limited to the life of the related patents.

The Indivior License Agreement contains customary contractual termination provisions, including with respect to a filing for bankruptcy or corporate dissolution, an invalidation of the intellectual property surrounding Suboxone, and commission of a material breach of the Indivior License Agreement by either party. Additionally, Indivior may terminate the Indivior License Agreement if the FDA or other applicable regulatory authority declares the Company's manufacturing site to no longer be suitable for the manufacture of Suboxone or Suboxone is no longer suitable to be manufactured due to health or safety reasons. The initial term of the Indivior License Agreement was seven years from the commencement date. Thereafter, the Indivior License Agreement automatically renewed for successive one-year periods.

Effective as of March 2, 2023, the Company and Indivior entered into the Indivior Amendment to the Indivior License Agreement. The Indivior Amendment was entered into for the primary purpose of amending the Agreement as follows: (i) extending the term of the Agreement until August 16, 2026 and thereafter providing for automatic renewal terms of successive one-year periods unless Indivior delivers notice to the Company, at least twelve months prior to the expiration of the then current term, of Indivior's intent not to renew, subject to the earlier termination rights of the parties under the Agreement, and providing that the Agreement will not automatically renew for any renewal term beginning after the expiration of the last to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

expire of the product patents covered under the Indivior License Agreement; and (ii) agreeing to transfer pricing and payment terms for supplied product under the Indivior License Agreement.

***License Agreement with Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.***

On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. (which was later succeeded to in interest by Sunovion), referred to as the Sunovion License Agreement, pursuant to which Sunovion obtained an exclusive, worldwide license (with the right to sub-license) to certain intellectual property, including existing and future patents and patent applications, covering all oral films containing apomorphine for the treatment of off episodes in Parkinson's disease patients. Sunovion used this intellectual property to develop its apomorphine product KYNMOBI, which was approved by the FDA on May 21, 2020. This approval triggered Sunovion's obligation to remit a payment of $4,000, due on the earlier of: (a) the first day of product availability at a pharmacy in the United States; or (b) within six months of FDA approval of the product. This amount was received as of September 30, 2020 and was included in License and royalty revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.

Effective March 16, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment. The First Amendment was entered into for the primary purpose of amending the Sunovion License Agreement as follows: (i) including the United Kingdom and any other country currently in the EU which later withdraws as a member country in the EU for purpose of determining the satisfaction of the condition triggering the obligation to pay the third milestone due under the Sunovion License Agreement, (ii) extending the date after which Sunovion has the right to terminate the Sunovion License Agreement for convenience from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2028, (iii) modifying the effective inception date of the first minimum annual royalty due from Sunovion to the Company form January 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020, and (iv) modifying the termination provision to reflect the Company's waiver of the right to terminate the Sunovion License Agreement in the event that KYNMOBI was not commercialized by January 1, 2020. This Sunovion License Agreement will continue until terminated by Sunovion in accordance with the termination provisions of the First Amendment. The Sunovion License Agreement continues (on a country-by-country basis) until the expiration of all applicable licensed patents unless earlier terminated under the termination provisions contained therein. Upon termination of the Sunovion License Agreement, all rights to intellectual property granted to Sunovion to develop and commercialize apomorphine-based products will revert to the Company.

On October 23, 2020, the Company amended the Sunovion License Agreement to clarify the parties' agreement with respect to certain provisions in the Sunovion License Agreement, specifically the date after which Sunovion has the right to terminate the Sunovion License Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Company's patents covered under the Sunovion License Agreement.

In consideration of the rights granted to Sunovion under the Sunovion License Agreement, the Company received aggregate payments totaling $22,000 to date. In addition to the upfront payment of $5,000, the Company has also earned an aggregate of $17,000 in connection with specified regulatory and development milestones in the United States and Europe (the "Initial Milestone Payments"), all of which have been received to date. With the Monetization Agreement (defined below) entered into on November 3, 2020 relating to KYNMOBI as described in the paragraph below, the Company is no longer entitled to receive any payments under the Sunovion License Agreement.

***Purchase and Sale Agreement with an affiliate of Marathon***

On November 3, 2020, the Company entered into the Monetization Agreement with Marathon. Under the terms of the Monetization Agreement, the Company sold to Marathon all of its contractual rights to receive royalties and milestone payments due under the Sunovion License Agreement related to Sunovion's apomorphine product, KYNMOBI. In exchange for the sale of these rights, the Company received an upfront payment from Marathon of $40,000 and an additional payment of $10,000 through the achievement of the first milestone. The Company has received an aggregate amount of $50,000 through June 30, 2025 under the Monetization Agreement.

Under the Monetization Agreement, additional contingent payments of up to $75,000 may be due to the Company upon the achievement of worldwide royalty and other commercial targets within a specified timeframe, which could result in total potential proceeds of $125,000. In June 2023, Sunovion announced that it had voluntarily withdrawn KYNMOBI from the U.S. and Canadian markets; therefore, the Company likely will not receive any of the additional contingent payments under the Monetization agreement. See Note 16, *Sale of Future Revenue* for further details on the accounting for the Monetization Agreement.

***Agreement to Terminate CLA with Zevra Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly KemPharm)***

In March 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Zevra to terminate a Collaboration and License Agreement entered into by the Company and Zevra in April 2011. Under this termination arrangement, the Company has the right to participate in any and all value that Zevra may derive from the commercialization or any other monetization of KP-415 and KP-484 compounds or their derivatives. Among these monetization transactions are those related to any business

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

combinations involving Zevra and collaborations, royalty arrangements, or other transactions from which Zevra may realize value from these compounds, including the product Azstarys<sup>®</sup>.

***Licensing and Supply Agreement with Haisco for Exservan™ (Riluzole Oral Film) for ALS Treatment in China***

The Company entered into the Haisco Agreement with Haisco, effective as of March 3, 2022, pursuant to which Aquestive granted Haisco an exclusive license to develop and commercialize Exservan™ (riluzole oral film) for the treatment of ALS in China.

In June 2024, the Haisco Agreement was terminated, and the Company will not receive any contingent payments under the Haisco Agreement. The termination agreement released all parties from any existing or ongoing obligations. Commissions of $134 that had been capitalized were expensed immediately in Selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company recognized deferred revenue of $7,000 for the upfront payment received in September 2022 on the Company's condensed financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Licensing and Supply Agreement with Atnahs Pharma UK Limited***

The Company entered into the Pharmanovia Agreement, effective as of September 26, 2022, pursuant to which the Company granted Pharmanovia an exclusive license to certain of the Company's intellectual property to develop and commercialize Libervant™ (diazepam) Buccal Film for the treatment of prolonged or acute, convulsive seizures in all ages in the Territory during the term of the Pharmanovia Agreement. Under the Pharmanovia Agreement, Pharmanovia will lead the regulatory and commercialization activities for Libervant in the Territory and the Company will serve as the exclusive sole manufacturer and supplier of Libervant in the Territory. Pursuant to the Pharmanovia Agreement, the Company received $3,500 upon agreement execution and, upon the occurrence of certain conditions set forth in the Pharmanovia Agreement, will receive additional milestone payments and profit shares, as well as manufacturing fees and royalty fees through the expiration of the Pharmanovia Agreement.

Effective March 27, 2023, the Company amended the Pharmanovia Agreement to expand the scope of territory for the license of Libervant to cover the rest of the world, excluding the U.S., Canada and China. Under the Pharmanovia Amendment, Pharmanovia will be responsible for seeking applicable regulatory approval in the expanded territories, which include Latin America, Africa and Asia Pacific.

Effective as of October 26, 2022, the Company entered into the Assertio Agreement to license Sympazan<sup>®</sup> (clobazam) oral film for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in patients aged two years of age and older. Under the terms of the Assertio Agreement, the Company granted to Assertio an exclusive, worldwide license of its intellectual property for Sympazan to Assertio during the term of the Assertio License Agreement for an upfront payment of $9,000. In addition, Aquestive received a $6,000 milestone payment subsequent to Aquestive's receipt of a notice of allowance from the PTO of the Company's patent application U.S. Serial No. 16/561,573, and payment by the Company of the related allowance fee. The Company received the notice of allowance from the PTO and paid the related allowance fee on October 27, 2022. Further, under the Assertio Agreement, the Company will receive royalties from Assertio for the sale of the product through the expiration of the Assertio Agreement. The Company also entered into a long-term supply agreement with Assertio for Sympazan pursuant to which the Company is the exclusive sole worldwide manufacturer and supplier of the product and will receive manufacturing fees from Assertio for the product through the expiration of such supply agreement.

***Licensing Agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Inc.***

In January 2021, the Company announced that Aquestive granted an exclusive license to MTPA for the commercialization of Exservan in the United States. MTPA is a multinational pharmaceutical company with a focus on patients with ALS. The product was launched by MTPA in June 2021. Under the terms of the MTPA license agreement, Aquestive was the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of Exservan for MTPA in the United States. In June 2024, under the Second Amendment to the License and Supply Agreement, MTPA and the Company mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. As of June 30, 2024 and as part of the termination, the parties were released from any existing or ongoing obligations (except for certain limited non-material post-termination obligations).

**Note 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial Instruments – Fair Value Measurements**

Certain assets and liabilities are reported on a recurring basis at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, such as pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Balance Sheets for Trade and other receivables, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred revenue approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these assets and liabilities.

The Company granted warrants to certain noteholders in connection with its debt repayment and debt refinancing of the 12.5% Notes during 2020 and 2019, respectively. Those warrants were valued based on Level 3 inputs and their fair value was based primarily on an independent third-party appraisal prepared as of the grant date consistent with generally accepted valuation methods of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the American Society of Appraisers and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The warrants expired on June 30, 2025. See Note 15*, Warrants* for further information on these warrants.

In June 2022, the Company issued pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to 8,850,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with its Securities Purchase Agreements with certain purchasers. Those warrants were valued based on Level 3 inputs and their fair value was based primarily on an independent third-party appraisal prepared as of the grant date consistent with generally accepted valuation methods of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the American Society of Appraisers and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting and Valuation Guide. See Note 15*, Warrants* for further information on these warrants.

On August 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Letter Agreement with the Exercising Holder of the remaining warrants to purchase 5,000,000 of the shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Exercising Holder and the Company agreed that the Exercising Holder would exercise all of its Existing Warrants for shares of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants at $0.96 per share of Common Stock, the current exercise price of the Existing Warrants. Under the Letter Agreement, in consideration of the Exercising Holder exercising the Existing Warrants, the Company issued to the Exercising Holder new warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of new warrants at $2.60 per share. Those warrants were valued based on Level 3 inputs and their fair value was based primarily on an independent third-party appraisal prepared as of the grant date consistent with generally accepted valuation methods of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the American Society of Appraisers and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Accounting and Valuation Guide. See Note 15*, Warrants* for further information on these warrants.

On November 1, 2023, in connection with the issuance of the 13.5% Notes, the Company and the Note Holders entered into the Royalty Right Agreements dated as of November 1, 2023, which provides the Note Holders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.a tiered royalty between 1.0% and 2.0% of annual worldwide net sales of Anaphylm™ (epinephrine) Sublingual Film for a period of eight years from the first sale of Anaphylm on a global basis, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.a tiered royalty between 1.0% to 2.0% of annual worldwide net sales of Libervant® (diazepam) Buccal Film until the earlier of (1) the first sale of Anaphylm and (2) eight years from the first sale of Libervant.

Those Royalty Agreements were valued based on Level 3 inputs and their fair value was based primarily on internal management estimates developed based on third-party data and reflect management's judgements, current market conditions, and forecasts. The initial fair value measurement of the Royalty Right Agreements was determined based on significant unobservable inputs, including the discount rate, estimated probabilities of success, and the estimated amount of future sales of Anaphylm and Libervant. See Note 14, *Long-Term Debt* for further discussion.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, total depreciation and amortization related to property and equipment was $140 and $165, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, these expenses totaled 279 and $333, respectively.

**Note 10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Obligations**

The Company leases all realty used at its production and warehouse facilities, corporate headquarters, commercialization operations center and research and laboratory facilities. None of these three leases include the characteristics specified in ASC 842, *Leases*, which require classification as financing leases and, accordingly, these leases are accounted for as operating leases. These leases, as amended, provide remaining terms between 2.8 years and 8.3 years, including renewal options expected to be exercised to extend the lease periods. Commitments under finance leases are not significant, and are included in Property and equipment, net, and Notes Payable, net on the Condensed Balance Sheets.

The Company does not recognize a right-to-use asset and lease liability for short-term leases, which have terms of 12 months or less on its Condensed Balance Sheets. For longer-term lease arrangements that are recognized on the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets, the right-of-use asset and lease liability is initially measured at the commencement date based upon the present value of the lease payments due under the lease. These payments represent the combination of the fixed lease and fixed non-lease components that are due under the arrangement. The costs associated with the Company's short-term leases, as well as variable costs relating to the Company's lease arrangements, are not material to the Company's financial results.

The implicit interest rates of the Company's lease arrangements are generally not readily determinable and as such, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate, which is established based upon the information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments due under an arrangement. Measurement of the operating lease liability reflects a range of an estimated discount rate of 14.8% to 15.6% applied to minimum lease payments, including expected renewals, based on the incremental borrowing rate experienced in the Company's collateralized debt refinancing.

The Company's lease costs are recorded in manufacture and supply, R&D and selling, general and administrative expenses in its Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, total operating lease expenses totaled $457 and $884, respectively including variable lease expenses such as common area maintenance and operating costs of $124 and $217, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, total operating lease expenses totaled $444 and $888, respectively including variable lease expenses such as common area maintenance and operating costs of $111 and $226, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2020, under the Sunovion License Agreement, the Company recognized $8,000 of royalty revenue and corresponding royalty receivable, related to the eight $1,000 annual minimum guaranteed royalty payments that are due to the Company. In connection with the Monetization Agreement, the Company performed an assessment under ASC 860, *Transfer and Servicing* to determine whether the existing receivable was transferred to Marathon and concluded it was not transferred. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Royalty receivable consists of three and four, respectively, annual minimum payments due from Sunovion, the last of which is due in March 2028. The current portion of the royalty receivable is included in Trade and other receivables, net. See Note 16, *Sale of Future Revenue* for further details on how this receivable relates to the Monetization Agreement transaction.

The reduction in Accrued compensation is mostly related to payments of accrued bonuses during the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by the current year accrual of bonuses. The increase in Accrued distribution expenses and sales return provision reflects a reclassification from Trade receivables and other receivables, net. Refer to Note 5, *Revenues and Trade Receivables, Net.*

Accrued distribution expenses and sales returns provision mostly represent estimated liabilities for returns, wholesaler service fees, co-pay support redemptions and other rebates related to the proprietary product Libervant and returns and other expenses related to the proprietary product Sympazan (prior to outlicensing to Assertio in October 2022).

**Note 14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-Term Debt**

***<u>13.5% Senior Secured Notes</u>***

On November 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Indenture Agreement with certain institutional investors (the "Note Holders") and issued $45,000 aggregate principal amount of its 13.5% Notes due 2028. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4,326 from this transaction after the repayment of the 12.5% Notes and deduction of debt discount, and debt issuance costs.

The 13.5% Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and mature on November 1, 2028. The 13.5% Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 13.5% per year, payable quarterly commencing on December 30, 2023. On each payment date commencing on June 30, 2026, the Company will pay an installment of principal of the 13.5% Notes pursuant to a fixed amortization schedule, along with the applicable Exit Fee. The Exit Fee totals $2,000.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the 13.5% Notes in full or in part:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.if such redemption occurs prior to November 1, 2025, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable Exit Fee, plus an Applicable Premium which is the greater of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.1.0% of the principal redeemed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.the amount, if any, by which the present value of the principal to be redeemed on November 1, 2025, plus all required interest due on such date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate, plus 100 basis points, exceeds the amount of principal to be redeemed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.if such redemption occurs after November 1, 2025, the redemption price is equal to 108.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable Exit Fee.

If the Company undergoes a change of control, the Note Holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the 13.5% Notes at a change of control repurchase price equal at 108.5% plus the Exit Fee of the remaining principal, plus accrued interest at the election of the Note Holders.

The Indenture permits the Company, upon the continuing satisfaction of certain conditions, including that the Company has at least $100,000 of net revenues for the most recently completed twelve calendar month period, to enter into an ABL facility not to exceed $10,000. The ABL Facility may be collateralized only by assets of the Company constituting inventory, accounts receivable, and the proceeds thereof.

In connection with the issuance of 13.5% Notes, the Company and the Note Holders entered into the Royalty Right Agreements dated as of November 1, 2023, which provides Note Holders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.a tiered royalty between 1.0% and 2.0% of annual worldwide net sales of Anaphylm™ (epinephrine) Sublingual Film for a period of eight years from the first sale of Anaphylm on a global basis, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.a tiered royalty between 1.0% to 2.0% of annual worldwide net sales of Libervant® (diazepam) Buccal Film until the earlier of (1) the first sale of Anaphylm and (2) eight years from the first sale of Libervant.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

Both the 13.5% Notes and Royalty Right Agreements, represent freestanding instruments which were issued in conjunction with each other. They are classified as debt within the scope of ASC 470, *Debt* and are subsequently measured on an amortized cost basis.

The initial fair value measurement of the Royalty Right Agreements was determined based on significant unobservable inputs, including the discount rate, estimated probabilities of success, and the estimated amount of future sales of Anaphylm and Libervant. These inputs are derived using internal management estimates developed based on third-party data and reflect management's judgements, current market conditions, and forecasts.

The Royalty Right Agreements' fair value is estimated by applying probability-weighted cash flows for future sales, which are then discounted to present value. Changes to fair value of the Royalty Rights Agreements can result from changes to one or a number of the aforementioned inputs. A significant change in unobservable inputs could result in a material increase or decrease to the effective interest rate of the Royalty Right Agreements liability.

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Royalty Right Agreements:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Valuation Methodology** | **Significant Unobservable Input** | **Weighted Average (range, if applicable)** | **Weighted Average (range, if applicable)** |
| | | Discount Rate | 15% | 15% |
| Royalty Right Agreements | Probability weighted<br>income approach | Probability of Success | 75% | 75% |
|  |  | Projected Years of Payments | 2025 | 2034 |

---

Management has updated the projected years of payments to 2034 and the effective interest rate by 0.56% as of December 31, 2024. The Company periodically re-assesses the projections and, to the extent the future projections are greater or less than its previous estimates or the estimated timing of such payments is materially different than its previous estimates, the Company will adjust the effective interest calculation. As of June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the significant unobservable inputs used to recognize the Royalty Right Agreements liability.

Since the Royalty Right Agreements were issued in connection with the 13.5% Notes, the Company allocated the proceeds to the two instruments based on their relative fair values. The Company allocated approximately $13,856 to the Royalty Right Agreements. The Company determined the allocated fair value by calculating the present value of estimated future royalties to be paid to Note Holders over the life of the arrangement.

The excess of future estimated royalty payments of $56,926 over the $13,856 of allocated fair value is recognized as a discount related to the Royalty Right Agreements and is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method.

The allocated amounts of $13,856 when combined with the Exit Fee of $2,000, original issue discount of $1,125 and debt issuance costs of $3,517, resulted in a debt discount of $20,498. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of 13.5% Notes using the effective interest method.

Amortization expense arising from the discounts related to the 13.5% Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,254 and $2,508, respectively. Amortization expense arising from the discounts related to the Royalty Right Agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,434 and $2,871, respectively.

Amortization expense arising from the discounts related to the 13.5% Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1,254 and $2,511, respectively. Amortization expense arising from the discounts related to the Royalty Right Agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1,358 and $2,716, respectively.

Unamortized discounts totaled $10,138 for the 13.5% Notes and $33,835 for the Royalty obligations as of June 30, 2025. Unamortized discounts totaled $12,646 for the 13.5% Notes and $36,706 for the Royalty obligations as of December 31, 2024, respectively.

**Note 15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Warrants**

***Warrants Issued to 12.5% Senior Secured Noteholders***

Warrants that were issued in conjunction with the Initial Notes (the "Initial Warrants") and Additional Notes (the "Additional Warrants") entitled the noteholders to purchase up to 2,143,000 shares of Common Stock and included specified registration rights. Management estimated the fair value of the Initial Warrants to be $6,800 and the Additional Warrants to be $735, each based on an assessment by an independent third-party appraiser. The fair value of the respective warrants was treated as a debt discount, amortizable over the term of the respective warrants, with the unamortized 12.5% Notes portion applied to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the 12.5% Notes. The 12.5% Notes were refinanced with the 13.5% Notes on November 1, 2023. Additionally, since the Initial Warrants and Additional Warrants issued do not provide warrant redemption or put rights within the control of the holders that could require the Company to make a payment of cash or other assets to satisfy the obligations under the warrants, except in the case of a "cash change in control", the fair value attributed to the warrants is presented in Additional Paid-in Capital in the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets. There were no warrants exercised as it relates to the Initial Warrants and the Additional Warrants during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Warrants to purchase a total of 1,683,784 shares of Common Stock with exercise prices of $4.25 and $5.38 for 1,571,429 warrants and 112,355 warrants, respectively, remained outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

The Initial Warrants and Additional Warrants expired on June 30, 2025.

***Warrants Issued Under Securities Purchase Agreements***

In June 2022, the Company issued pre-funded warrants and Common Stock warrants to certain purchasers in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreements. The pre-funded warrants entitled purchasers to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock and were exercised in full during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Common Stock warrants expire on June 8, 2027 and entitled the purchasers to purchase up to 8,850,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.96 per share. Management estimated the fair value of the pre-funded warrants and Common Stock warrants to be $5,874 based on an assessment by an independent third-party appraiser. The fair value of the pre-funded and Common Stock warrants is treated as equity and presented in Additional Paid-in Capital in the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets. On June 14, 2023, 3,689,452 Common Stock warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements were exercised with proceeds of approximately $3,542.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

On August 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Letter Agreement with the Exercising Holder of 5,000,000 of the remaining Common Stock Warrants. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Exercising Holder and the Company agreed that the Exercising Holder would exercise all of its Existing Warrants for shares of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants at $0.96 per share of Common Stock, the current exercise price of the Existing Warrants. Under the Letter Agreement, in consideration of the Exercising Holder exercising the Existing Warrants, the Company issued to the Exercising Holder New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock. The New Warrants became exercisable after February 2, 2024, expire on February 2, 2029 and are issuable only for cash, subject to exception if the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement, in which case the New Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a "cashless exercise". The New Warrants have an exercise price of $2.60 per share. Management estimated the fair value of the warrants to be $4,671 based on an assessment by an independent third-party appraiser. The fair value of the New Warrants is treated as equity and is presented in Additional Paid-in Capital in the Company's Condensed Balance Sheets.

There were no warrants issued or exercised as it relates to the Warrants Issued Under Securities Purchase Agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, in addition to the warrants to purchase 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.60 per share described above, there remain outstanding warrants to purchase 160,548 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.96.

**Note 16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sale of Future Revenue**

On November 3, 2020, the Company entered into the Monetization Agreement with Marathon. Under the terms of the Monetization Agreement, the Company sold all of its contractual rights to receive royalties and milestone payments due under the Sunovion License Agreement related to Sunovion's apomorphine product, KYNMOBI, an apomorphine film therapy for the treatment of off episodes in Parkinson's disease patients, which received approval from the FDA on May 21, 2020. In exchange for the sale of these rights, the Company received an upfront payment of $40,000 and an additional payment of $10,000 through the achievement of the first milestone. The Company has received an aggregate amount of $50,000 through June 30, 2025 under the Monetization Agreement.

Under the Monetization Agreement, additional contingent payments of up to $75,000 may be due to the Company upon the achievement of worldwide royalty and other commercial targets within a specified timeframe, which could result in total potential proceeds of $125,000.

The Company recorded the upfront proceeds of $40,000 and subsequent first milestone of $10,000, reduced by $2,909 of transaction costs, as a liability related to the sale of future revenue that will be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Monetization Agreement. As future contingent payments are received, they will increase the balance of the liability related to the sale of future revenue. Although the Company sold all of its rights to receive royalties and milestones, as a result of ongoing obligations related to the generation of these royalties, the Company will account for these royalties as revenue. Its ongoing obligations include the maintenance and defense of the intellectual property and to provide assistance to Marathon in executing a new license agreement for KYNMOBI in the event Sunovion terminates the Sunovion License Agreement in one or more jurisdictions of the licensed territory under the Sunovion License Agreement. The accounting liabilities, as adjusted over time, resulting from this transaction and any non-cash interest expenses associated with those liabilities do not and will not represent any obligation to pay or any potential future use of cash.

During the second quarter of 2020, under the Sunovion License Agreement, the Company recognized $8,000 of royalty revenue and corresponding royalty receivable, related to the $1,000 annual minimum guaranteed royalty that is due. In connection with the Monetization Agreement, the Company performed an assessment under ASC 860, *Transfer and Servicing* to determine whether the existing receivable was transferred to Marathon and concluded that the receivable was not transferred.

As royalties are remitted to Marathon from Sunovion, the collection of the royalty receivable and balance of the liability related to the sale of future revenue will be effectively repaid over the life of the agreement. In order to determine the amortization of the liability related to the sale of future revenue, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty and milestone payments to Marathon over the life of the Monetization Agreement and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the Company. The sum of future royalty payments less the $50,000 in proceeds received and future contingent payments has been recorded as interest expense over the life of the Monetization Agreement. At execution, the estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 24.9%. This estimate contained significant assumptions that impact both the amount recorded at execution and the interest expense that will be recognized over the life of the Monetization Agreement. The Company assesses the estimated royalty and milestone payments to Marathon from Sunovion and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the Company. To the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different from the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to increase or decrease interest expense. There are a number of factors that could materially affect the amount and timing of royalty and milestone payments to Marathon from Sunovion and, correspondingly, the amount of interest expense recorded by

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

the Company, most of which are not under the Company's control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changing standards of care, the initiation of competing products, manufacturing or other delays, generic competition, intellectual property matters, adverse events that result in government health authority imposed restrictions on the use of products, significant changes in foreign exchange rates as the royalties remitted to Marathon are made in U.S. dollars (USD) while a portion of the underlying sales of KYNMOBI will be made in currencies other than USD, and other events or circumstances that are not currently foreseen. Changes to any of these factors could result in increases or decreases to both royalty revenue and interest expense related to the sale of future revenue.

In June 2023, Sunovion announced that it had voluntarily withdrawn KYNMOBI from the U.S. and Canadian markets. Therefore, the Company likely will not receive any of the additional contingent payments under the Monetization agreement. Further, the Company discontinued recording interest expense related to the sale of future revenue during the fourth quarter of 2022.

The following table shows the activity of the liability related to the sale of future revenue:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,**<br>**2025** | **December 31,**<br>**2024** |

**Note 17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Loss Per Share**

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares.

Diluted EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including options and awards under the Company's equity compensation plans, warrants and ESPP. As a result of the Company's net loss incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all potentially dilutive instruments outstanding would have anti-dilutive effects on per-share calculations. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 as reflected below.

---

As of June 30, 2025, $2,458 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested market condition vesting- based restricted stock units are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.62 years.

The 2023 market conditions vesting-based restricted stock units vest based on a Performance Price measured as the 30-day average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market immediately prior to and including the last calendar day of the three-year performance period (which ends on the third anniversary of the grant date). To the extent the Performance Price is less than $1.75, the Vesting Percentage will be zero. To the extent the Performance Price is $1.75, the Vesting Percentage will be 50%. To the extent the Performance Price is $1.76 or greater, but less than $2.50, the Vesting Percentage will be a prorated amount between 50.01% and 99.99%, based on straight-line interpolation. To the extent the Performance Price is $2.50, the Vesting Percentage will be 100%. To the extent the Performance Price is $2.51 or greater, but less than $3.25, the Vesting Percentage will be a prorated amount between 100.01% and 149.99%, based on straight-line interpolation. To the extent the Performance Price is $3.25 or greater, the Vesting Percentage will be 150%. In no event will the Vesting Percentage exceed 150%.

The 2025 market conditions vesting-based restricted stock units were measured over a three-year performance period. The performance period is split into two pricing periods. The first pricing period commences on the grant date and ends on the calendar day immediately proceeding the second anniversary of the grant date. The second pricing period commences on the second anniversary of the grant date and ends on the third anniversary of the grant date, The performance price for the first pricing period is calculated based on the 30-day average price observed for the last 30 days of the first pricing period. The performance price for the second pricing period is calculated based on the highest 30-day average for any 30-day period throughout the second pricing period. To the extent the Performance Price is less than $6.00, the Vesting Percentage will be zero. To the extent the Performance Price is $6.00, the Vesting Percentage will be 50%. To the extent the Performance Price is $6.01 or greater, but less than $7.00, the Vesting Percentage will be a prorated amount between 50.01% and 99.99%, based on straight-line interpolation. To the extent the Performance Price is $7.00, the Vesting Percentage will be 100%. To the extent the Performance Price is $7.01 or greater, but less than $8.00, the Vesting Percentage will be a prorated amount between 100.01% and 149.99%, based on straight-line interpolation. To the extent the Performance Price is $8.00 or greater, the Vesting Percentage will be 150%. In no event will the Vesting Percentage exceed 150%.

The Company's estimates of the fair value of the 2025 market conditions vesting-based awards at their grant or valuation dates were based on a Monte Carlo simulation and considered various variables and the following assumptions:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Six Months Ended, June 30, 2025** |
| Expected dividend yield | 0% |
| Expected volatility | 91.5% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.9% |
| Stock price at grant date | $2.65 |

The fair values of stock options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on the following assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Six Months Ended<br>June 30, 2025** | **Six Months Ended<br>June 30, 2025** |
| Expected dividend yield | —% | —% |
| Expected volatility | 97% | 100% |
| Expected term (years) | 5.5 | 6.1 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.1% | 4.2% |

---

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.27. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, stock options were granted with a weighted average exercise price of $2.84.

As of June 30, 2025, $4,066 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.80 years.

**Note 19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

The Company has accounted for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and respective tax bases of existing assets and liabilities, as well as net operating loss carryforwards and R&D credits. Valuation allowances are provided if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company's tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the effective income tax rate was 0%, and the Company recorded no income tax expense from its pretax losses of $13,548 and $36,478, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective income tax rate was 0%, and the Company recorded no income tax expense from its pretax losses of $2,745 and $15,573, respectively.

The primary factors impacting the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is the anticipated full year pre-tax book loss and a full valuation allowance against any associated net deferred tax assets.

On July 4, 2025, the President signed H.R. 1, the Budget Reconciliation Bill, into law. The legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic R&D expenditures, reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense.

These changes were not reflected in the income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as enactment occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on future periods.

**Note 20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contingencies**

From time to time, the Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings arising in the course of its business, including product liability, intellectual property, securities, civil tort, and commercial litigation, and environmental or other regulatory matters.

***California Litigation***

<u>Neurelis, Inc. v. Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc</u>.

On December 5, 2019, Neurelis, Inc. ("Neurelis") filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego alleging the following three causes of action: (1) Unfair Competition under California Business and Professional Code § 17200 ("UCL"); (2) Defamation; and (3) Malicious Prosecution. Neurelis filed a First Amended Complaint on December 9, 2019, alleging the same three causes of action. The Company filed a Motion to Strike Neurelis's Complaint under California's anti-SLAPP ("strategic lawsuit against public participation") statute on January 31, 2020, which Neurelis opposed. On August 6, 2020, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the Company's anti-SLAPP motion. The parties cross-appealed the ruling to the California Court of Appeal. The appeals court held oral argument on the appeal on October 14, 2021, and issued its ruling on November 17, 2021. Under the ruling, the court struck the entirety of the malicious prosecution claim and struck portions of the UCL and defamation claims. On April 12, 2022, Neurelis filed a Second Amended Complaint in response to the Court of Appeal's decision. The Second Amended Complaint also added a cause of action for Trade Libel. On May 3, 2022, the Company filed a "demurrer" challenge to the sufficiency of the allegations of the Second Amended Complaint. Oral argument on the Company's motion for attorney fees related to the anti-SLAPP motion and on the Second Amended Complaint and demurer challenge was held on June 17, 2022. The Court entered an order granting the Company's motion for attorney fees, awarding $156 and ordering Neurelis to pay the fees within 60 days of June 17, 2022. The Court denied the Company's demurrer and the parties proceeded with discovery on the claims in the Second Amended Complaint. The plaintiff filed a motion to file a third amended complaint, which the Court granted on November 17, 2023. The Third Amended Complaint alleges additional facts but includes the same claims as the Second Amended Complaint. The trial in this matter is scheduled for January 5, 2026. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter.

***Neurelis FDA Lawsuit***

<u>Neurelis v. Califf,</u> *<u>et al</u>*<u>.</u>, U.S. District court for the District of Columbia

In May 2024, Neurelis filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and certain government officials. The complaint in this matter alleges that the defendants violated the Administrative Procedure Act by approving the Company's NDA for Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years, and asked the Court to vacate that approval and enjoin the defendants from approving Libervant for this pediatric patient population until January 10, 2027, the scheduled date for the expiration of the U.S. orphan drug market exclusivity granted by the FDA to the Valtoco nasal spray product of Neurelis. The Company intervened in this litigation to defend the approval of Libervant for this ARS pediatric patient population and, on June 25, 2024, the Court entered a scheduling order governing further proceedings in the case. Pursuant to that order, Neurelis filed a motion for summary judgment on August 19, 2024; the Company and the federal defendants each filed their own cross-motions for summary judgment and opposed Neurelis's motion for summary judgment on September 18, 2024. Neurelis filed its combined reply brief in support of its motion for summary judgment and in opposition to the defendants' cross-motions on October 9, 2024, and the Company and the federal defendants filed their closing briefs on October 30, 2024. Following the FDA's award of ODE to Libervant for ARS patients between two and five years of age, Neurelis filed a motion for preliminary injunction requesting an expedited order to vacate FDA's approval and enjoining the sale of Libervant. On February 14, 2025, the Court ruled in favor of Neurelis, granting its summary judgment motion, and against the FDA's and the Company's cross-motions for summary judgment. In an accompanying opinion, the Court directed the FDA to vacate the approval of Libervant. Because the Court entered a final appealable judgment in favor of Neurelis, Neurelis' motion for an expedited preliminary injunction was denied as moot by the Court. On February 18, 2025, the Company filed an appeal of the District Court's decision with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (the "DC Appellate Court") and, on the same day, filed an emergency motion with the District Court to stay its order pending a decision on the appeal with the DC Appellate Court. The District Court denied the motion for a stay. On March 27, 2025, the DC Appellate Court denied the Company's emergency motion for stay. The FDA filed an appeal of the District Court's decision to the DC Appellate Court and the Company withdrew its appeal. As a result of the District Court's ruling, the FDA converted the approval of Libervant to a "tentative approval" and the Company has ceased marketing activities in the United States. The Company is communicating with the FDA on a path forward for approval of Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years but the Company has not yet received any decision from the FDA on market access for these Libervant pediatric patients. No dates have been set for arguments on the appeal proceedings at the DC Appellate Court. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of these

proceedings or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter or whether the FDA will grant U.S. market access to Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years in advance of the ODE expiration period.

***Suboxone Product Liability Litigation***

The Company was named as a defendant in a multitude of product liability lawsuits, along with Indivior and several other named defendants, in which the individual plaintiffs in those cases allege that their use of Suboxone® Sublingual Film, a prescription drug product for opioid use disorder, caused them dental injuries. On February 2, 2024, this litigation became a Multidistrict Litigation ("MDL") consolidated in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. One case alleging the same allegations as contained in the MDL has been filed in a state court in the State of New Jersey. The parties to the MDL have agreed to a tolling of unfiled claimants in several states. Indivior has agreed to defend the Company in these litigation matters. Discovery is underway and no trial date has been set in the MDL matter. The Company's motion to dismiss the MDL matter was granted as to all claims by plaintiffs except design defect claims. The Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter.

The Company was named as a defendant in three proposed class action lawsuits filed in Canada, along with Indivior and several other named defendants, in which the individual plaintiffs in those cases allege that their use of Suboxone® products caused them dental injuries. Two of these cases have been filed in British Columbia, and the plaintiffs in those cases are seeking assignment of a case management judge. The anticipated next step in British Columbia will involve applications by the plaintiffs to determine which of the two cases will proceed towards a certification hearing and which will be stayed. The third case has been filed in Quebec and is proceeding towards an authorization hearing, the date of which has not yet been set. The authorization and certification hearings will determine whether the Courts will allow the cases to proceed as class actions. Pre-discovery and case management proceedings are underway and no trial date has yet been set. Given the early stages of these proceedings, the Company is not able to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this litigation.

**Overview**

Aquestive is a pharmaceutical company advancing medicines to bring meaningful improvement to patients' lives through innovative science and delivery technologies. We are developing pharmaceutical products to deliver complex molecules through administrations that are alternatives to invasive and inconvenient standard of care therapies. We are advancing a product pipeline for the treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, under the "Anaphylm™" trade name, and our Adrenaverse™ epinephrine prodrug pipeline platform. We have four licensed commercialized products which are marketed by our licensees in the U.S. and around the world. We are the exclusive manufacturer of these licensed products. Aquestive also collaborates with pharmaceutical companies to bring new molecules to market using proprietary, best-in-class technologies, like PharmFilm, and has proven drug development and commercialization capabilities. Our production facilities are located in Portage, Indiana, and our corporate headquarters and primary research laboratory facilities are based in Warren, New Jersey.

We manufacture licensed products at our facilities and anticipate that our current manufacturing capacity is sufficient for commercial quantities of our licensed products, proprietary product and product candidates currently in development. Our facilities have been inspected by the FDA, TGA, and DEA, and are subject to inspection by all applicable health agencies, including ANVISA and EMA. Not all collaborative or licensed products of the Company that may be commercially launched in the future will necessarily be manufactured by us.

*Complex Molecule Portfolio*

We have developed a proprietary pipeline of complex molecule-based product candidates as alternatives to invasively administered standard of care therapeutics addressing large market opportunities. The active programs in our complex molecule pipeline portfolio are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Anaphylm™** (epinephrine) Sublingual Film – the first and only non-device based, orally delivered epinephrine product candidate in development that has shown clinical results comparable to auto-injectors (such as EpiPen<sup>®</sup> and Auvi-Q<sup>®</sup>) for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is the standard of care in the treatment of anaphylaxis and is typically administered via intramuscular injection (IM), including manual auto-injectors such as EpiPen and Auvi-Q, which require patients or their caregivers to inject epinephrine into the patient's thigh during an emergency allergic reaction. As a result of this route of administration, many patients and their caregivers are reluctant to use injectable products. In August 2024, a nasal spray device was approved by the FDA for the treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. However, Anaphylm would, if approved by the FDA, allow a patient to simply place a dissolvable strip, approximately the size and weight of a postage stamp, under the tongue, providing an appropriate medication where it is needed and when it is needed.

The FDA conditionally accepted the proprietary name Anaphylm™ (pronounced "ana-film") as the proposed brand name for Anaphylm. Final approval of the Anaphylm proprietary name is conditioned on FDA approval of Anaphylm, if any.

On February 24, 2022, following a Phase 1 clinical study conducted by the Company outside of the U.S., the FDA cleared our IND for Anaphylm, allowing for clinical investigation of Anaphylm in the U.S. The FDA confirmed that

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

the 505(b)(2) regulatory approval pathway is acceptable for the development of Anaphylm. The FDA granted Fast Track designation of Anaphylm in March 2022.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, we reported positive topline data from several clinical studies evaluating multiple oral film formulations and dosage strengths of Anaphylm in healthy adult subjects, including cross over studies comparing the PK and PD of epinephrine delivered via Anaphylm compared to current standards of care, EpiPen and IM injectors. These studies demonstrated that treatment with Anaphylm was well tolerated, with no serious adverse events, significant medical events, or treatment-related severe adverse events reported. The data from these clinical studies formed the basis for the EOP2 meeting with the FDA in December of 2022, which provided clarity as to the FDA's expectations regarding key clinical program areas for design of revised dosing instructions expected for use in our pivotal clinical trial.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we received comments from the FDA on the protocol for our pivotal clinical study for Anaphylm, which comments indicated that our proposed endpoints, sample size, and statistical analysis for the proposed pivotal clinical study were reasonable and provided clarity on PK sustainability with repeat-dose requirements. We incorporated the FDA's feedback into the pivotal clinical study design, which study commenced in in the fourth quarter of 2023.

In January 2024, we completed a Type C meeting with the FDA in which the FDA found that we had adequately addressed the FDA's previous concerns noted in the EOP2 meeting, including addressing (1) the impact of any product hold time, (2) the potential for emesis (vomiting), and (3) the impact of potential mouth conditions such as angioedema (swelling), by removing product hold time from the administration instructions and providing additional information on how to characterize emesis in our NDA submission with the FDA. Regarding mouth conditions, the FDA recommended administering Anaphylm after oral exposure to a known allergen and assessing PK performance thereunder. This study replaced our previously planned angioedema study. In those comments, the FDA did not outline any new clinical development requirements for the Anaphylm program. The FDA reserved judgement on the sufficiency of the Anaphylm clinical development program until completion of ongoing and planned studies, the results of which were presented at a pre-NDA interaction with the FDA on November 22, 2024.

In March 2024, we released topline data from our pivotal clinical study for Anaphylm. The two-part, Phase 3, single-center, open-label, randomized study was designed to compare the PK and PD of single and repeat doses of Anaphylm versus single and repeat doses of the IM injection and epinephrine autoinjectors (EpiPen® and Auvi-Q®) in healthy adult subjects. The results of this study demonstrated that the primary endpoint, epinephrine PK biocomparability of the single administration of Anaphylm to the single administration of Adrenalin (epinephrine IM injection) and epinephrine autoinjectors in healthy adult subjects was met. The study also met its secondary endpoints, which included evaluating the PK sustainability of Anaphylm following repeat administration, as well as its safety and tolerability of Anaphylm following single and repeat administrations versus epinephrine IM injection and epinephrine autoinjectors.

In June 2024, we reported positive topline PK data from the Company's temperature / pH study of Anaphylm. The single-dose, five-period, randomized crossover study was designed to compare the PK and PD of Anaphylm just after consuming normal water at different temperatures (hot, cold, and room temperature) as well as water of different pHs (acidic- lemon water, and basic- baking soda water). The most consumed beverages, such as soda, milk, coffee, and juice, have acidity between lemon water and normal water. The primary PK parameters were the maximum amount of epinephrine measured in plasma (Cmax) and exposure, or the area under the curve (AUC), at predefined time points after dosing, in 30 healthy adult subjects. Topline PK and PD data from the study showed no statistically significant difference in PK and PD results between the different groups based on temperature and pH variability in the mouth.

In July 2024, we reported positive topline data from the self-administration PK study of Anaphylm. The single-dose, three-period, randomized crossover study was designed to compare the PK and PD of Anaphylm self-administered, Anaphylm healthcare provider (HCP)-administered, and Adrenalin IM injection HCP- administered. The primary PK parameters were the Cmax and the AUC exposures, at predefined time points after dosing in 36 healthy adult subjects. The median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was 15 minutes for both the Anaphylm self-administered and HCP-administered arms, while the median Tmax for the Adrenalin IM injection HCP-administered arm was 50 minutes post-administration. Also, there was no statistical difference between the Anaphylm self-administered and HCP- administered arms of the study based on a comparison of epinephrine exposures across the first 60 minutes post-administration. Topline PD data from the study showed no difference in the median increase in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate whether Anaphylm was self-administered or HCP-administered.

In October 2024, we reported positive topline data from an oral allergy syndrome challenge study (now referred to as the "OASIS" study), meeting both primary and secondary endpoints. The two-part study demonstrated that

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

Anaphylm's PK and PD profile during allergen-induced oral physiological changes was consistent with its profile without an allergen challenge. In addition, following allergen exposure where 94% of subjects exhibited moderate to severe symptoms per the predefined oral severity score, rapid symptom resolution was observed beginning as early as 2 minutes post-administration. The median time to complete symptom resolution was 12 minutes compared to 74 minutes at screening baseline, with 50% of all symptoms across all subjects resolving by 5 minutes. The mean time of symptom resolution for edema, which affected approximately 25% of subjects, was 5 minutes after Anaphylm administration. The PK profile remained consistent, with median Tmax maintained at 12 minutes and comparable Cmax values between allergen-exposed and non-exposed cohorts. The safety profile was favorable, with all adverse events classified as mild to moderate and resolving without medical intervention.

Also in October 2024, at the ACAAI 2024 Annual Meeting in Boston, we presented results from a subsequent analysis of our pivotal study data demonstrating Anaphylm's consistent PK and PD profile regardless of variable placement or intraoral movement. The analysis showed that 87.5% of subjects maintained consistent film placement during disintegration. In the 12.5% of subjects where movement was noted, there were no significant differences in Cmax and Tmax. These findings further demonstrate that initial placement or subsequent movement of the sublingual film had no impact on epinephrine PK or PD comparability to epinephrine autoinjectors.

On November 22, 2024, we received positive pre-NDA written response feedback from the FDA prior to our planned NDA submission in the first quarter of 2025. The FDA did not indicate in those responses that any additional adult clinical trials would be necessary for submitting the NDA for Anaphylm. In addition, the FDA agreed with our planned NDA content and format for the submission, planned safety evaluation, and planned pediatric trial. The FDA also provided further guidance on additional data views to be included in the planned NDA submission and continued to emphasize its focus on PK sustainability for a single dose. In addition, the FDA requested minor modifications to the pediatric trial protocol which requested modifications were incorporated in the final pediatric trial protocol. Finally, the FDA noted that due to the new route of administration and the data supporting this route of administration, an advisory committee meeting may be necessary prior to FDA approval and we are preparing for this potential request from the FDA.

We completed the NDA submission to the FDA in the first quarter of 2025. The pediatric study in subjects from the ages of 7 to 17 (weight greater than or equal to 30 kgs) was completed with positive topline data reported on April 1, 2025. A total of thirty-two patients completed the study. The PK results were consistent with previous adult studies. Anaphylm was shown to be safe and well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.

On June 16, 2025, the NDA submission was accepted by the FDA and a PDUFA target action date of January 31, 2026 was assigned. We are planning on initiating a product launch of Anaphylm, if approved by the FDA, in the first quarter of 2026. The Company is concurrently pursuing regulatory strategies outside the United States. It recently announced that it plans to hold an in-person meeting with Health Canada to discuss its planned New Drug Submission for Anaphylm. The Company submitted the initial briefing book to EMA and plans to submit a Marketing Authorization Application as soon as possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **AQST-108** (epinephrine) Topical Gel – Our product candidate, AQST-108 is composed of the prodrug dipivefrin which is enzymatically cleaved into epinephrine after administration. AQST-108, is a topically delivered adrenergic agonist prodrug, which we believe has the potential to support the re-establishment of immune privilege in the hair follicle and we are pursuing its development for the treatment of alopecia areata, which is an autoimmune disease leading to hair loss on the scalp, face and, in more severe cases, other body areas. We completed the first human clinical trial for AQST-108. The two-part trial was designed to assess the safety and local tolerability of AQST-108. Part 1 was designed as a single ascending dose escalation study to assess the safety and PK of five different dose levels. The 1.0% dose of AQST-108 was chosen based on the down selection from the highest dose to move into the Part 2 study of the development program. In Part 2, three formulations based on excipient variations were evaluated in twelve healthy subjects. In Parts 1 and 2, no serious adverse events or topical adverse events were observed. In Part 2, the calculated percentage of AQST-108 observed in the skin remained consistent across all studied formulations and zero post-dose AQST-108 concentrations in plasma were observed. We received pre-IND FDA feedback in the fourth quarter of 2024 to align on the Phase 2a clinical trial design. We are continuing pre-clinical development studies in advance of plans to open an IND in the fourth quarter of 2025 and initiate the Phase 2a clinical trial in the first half of 2026.

*Proprietary CNS Product*

We believe the application of our proprietary PharmFilm<sup>®</sup> technology is particularly valuable and relevant to patients suffering from certain CNS disorders to meet patients' unmet medical needs and to solve patients' therapeutic problems. Our most advanced asset within our proprietary CNS portfolio, focused in epilepsy, is as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Libervant®** – a buccally, or inside of the cheek, administered soluble film formulation of diazepam, Libervant was developed as an alternative to device-dependent rescue therapies currently available to patients with refractory epilepsy, which are a rectal gel and nasal sprays.

On April 26, 2024, the FDA approved Libervant for U.S. market access for the acute treatment of intermittent, stereotypic episodes of frequent seizure activity (*i.e.*, seizure clusters, ARS) that are distinct from a patient's usual seizure pattern in patients with epilepsy between two to five years of age. Libervant is the first and only orally administered rescue product for the treatment of seizure cluster in patients between ages two to five. The only other current FDA approved products for these ARS patients between two to five years of age is a diazepam rectal gel and a diazepam nasal spray. In October 2024, Libervant 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg and 15 mg for ARS patients between two and five years of age became available through multiple retail distribution channels. In the fourth quarter of 2024 the FDA granted seven years of ODE to Libervant® (diazepam) Buccal Film for ARS patients between two to five years of age. Libervant was originally granted Orphan Drug Designation on November 10, 2016.

On February 14, 2025, in a lawsuit brought by Neurelis, Inc. ("Neurelis") against the FDA (Neurelis, Inc. v. Califf, for which the Company joined as a Defendant Intervenor) challenging the FDA's approval of Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years, the U.S. District for the District of Columbia issued a final appealable order entering a judgment in favor of Neurelis's motion for summary judgement and vacating the FDA's approval of Libervant. The District Court's ruling was not based on grounds of safety or efficacy of Libervant, but rather on the grounds that the law granting ODE to the FDA approved nasal spray Valtoco for patients aged six years and older should be interpreted to extend to children aged two to five years, despite that Valtoco was not approved by the FDA to treat these younger patients at the time the FDA approved Libervant for this pediatric age group. The FDA is appealing this ruling. As a result of the District Court ruling, the FDA converted the approval of Libervant for patients aged between two and five years to a "tentative approval" and Aquestive has ceased marketing activities for Libervant in the United States.

On February 24, 2025, Aquestive filed a request with the FDA that the FDA also confirms approval of Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years on the FDA regulatory grounds of clinical superiority over the other currently existing FDA approved ARS drugs. FDA's orphan drug regulations define a "clinically superior" drug as "a drug shown to provide a significant therapeutic advantage over and above that provided by an approved orphan drug (that is otherwise the same drug)" in one of three ways: the basis of greater efficacy or safety, or providing a major contribution to patient care. The FDA has taken this request under advisement and has not yet provided a response to the Company.

Prior to the FDA approval of Libervant for ARS patients between two to five years, the FDA granted tentative approval in August 2022 for Libervant for the same indication in patients with epilepsy 12 years of age and older, finding that Libervant had met all required quality, safety, and efficacy standards for approval. However, due to the existing FDA regulatory grant of ODE for Valtoco for use in ARS patients 6 years of age and older, the FDA determined that Libervant was not yet eligible for marketing in the United States for this patient population of 12 years of age and older. We expect to file for FDA approval for use of Libervant for these ARS patients aged between 6 and 11 years prior to the expiration of the ODE for Valtoco. However, as a result of the ODE granted by the FDA to Valtoco and the District Court's ruling, the FDA cannot give final approval for U.S. market access for Libervant for any age group until the expiration of the ODE or a determination by the FDA of inapplicability of the ODE for Libervant, unless the District Court's ruling vacating the FDA approval of Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years is overturned on appeal. In the event that the District Court's ruling is reversed without further right of appeal, and the tentative approval of Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five is converted to a final approval by the FDA, the Company would only be able to market Libervant for ARS patients aged between two and five years and would continue to be restricted from market access of Libervant for older ARS patients until the expiration of the ODE for Valtoco. However, overcoming the orphan drug marketing exclusivity determination is difficult to establish, with limited precedent, and there can be no assurance that the FDA will agree with our position seeking to overcome such market exclusivity and approve Libervant for U.S. market access for any age group earlier than January 2027, the scheduled date for expiration of ODE for Valtoco. See "*Licensed Commercial Products, Product Candidates and Other Products – Libervant*" for a discussion of the licensing arrangement for Libervant.

**Licensed Commercial Products, Product Candidates and Other Products**

Our portfolio also includes other products and product candidates that we have licensed, or will seek to license, or for which we have licensed our intellectual property for commercialization. In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our licensed product portfolio generated $18,723 and $32,152 in revenue to Aquestive, respectively. Those products include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•* Suboxone**<sup>®</sup> – a sublingual film formulation of buprenorphine and naloxone, respectively an opioid agonist and antagonist, that is marketed in the United States and internationally for the treatment of opioid dependence. Suboxone was launched by our licensee, Indivior, in 2010. Suboxone is the most prescribed branded product in its category and was the first sublingual film product for the treatment of opioid dependence. We are the sole and exclusive supplier and manufacturer of Suboxone and have produced over 2.9 billion doses of Suboxone since its launch in 2010. As of June 30, 2025, Suboxone branded products retain approximately 26% film market share as generic film-based products have penetrated this market. We have filed patent infringement lawsuits against certain companies relating to generic film-based products for buprenorphine-naloxone. More details regarding these lawsuits are described in the accompanying condensed financial statements, Note 20, *Contingencies*, contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Emylif**<sup>®</sup> – an oral film formulation of riluzole, has been developed by Aquestive for the treatment of ALS. We believe that Emylif can bring meaningful assistance to patients who are diagnosed with ALS and face difficulties swallowing traditional forms of medication. This product was originally approved and marketed in the U.S. under the name Exservan. Exservan was approved by the FDA on November 22, 2019. We submitted a request for voluntary withdrawal of the NDA as the product is no longer marketed in the U.S. and the NDA was officially withdrawn on February 14, 2025.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we announced the grant of a license to Zambon for the development and commercialization of Exservan in the EU for the treatment of ALS which it markets as Emylif<sup>®</sup>. Zambon is a multinational pharmaceutical company with a focus on the CNS therapeutic area. Under the terms of the license agreement with Zambon, an upfront payment was paid to Aquestive for the development and commercialization rights of Emylif in the EU, and Aquestive will be paid development and sales milestone payments and low double-digit royalties on net sales of the product in the EU. Zambon is responsible for the regulatory approval and marketing of Emylif in the countries where Zambon seeks to market the product and Aquestive is responsible for the development and manufacture of the product. During the second quarter of 2025, Aquestive earned a $500 milestone payment in connection with the sale of Emylif pursuant to the terms of the license agreement with Zambon.

In January 2021, we announced that we granted an exclusive license to MTPA for the commercialization in the United States of Exservan. MTPA is a multinational pharmaceutical company with a focus on patients with ALS. The product was launched by MTPA in June 2021. Under the terms of the MTPA license agreement, Aquestive was the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of Exservan for MTPA in the United States. In June 2024, the Company and MTPA mutually agreed to terminate the MTPA Licensing Agreement. See Note 6, *Material Agreements* to our accompanying condensed financial statements for details.

In March 2022, we announced the grant of an exclusive license to Haisco for Haisco to develop and commercialize Exservan for the treatment of ALS in China. Haisco is a China-based public pharmaceutical company. Haisco lead the regulatory and commercialization activities for Exservan in China. Aquestive was the exclusive sole manufacturer and supplier for Exservan in China. Under the terms of the license agreement with Haisco, as amended, Aquestive received a $7,000 upfront payment in September 2022, and was to receive regulatory milestone payments, double-digit royalties on net sales of Exservan in China, and earn manufacturing revenue upon the sale of Exservan in China. In June 2024, Aquestive and Haisco mutually agreed to terminate the Haisco Agreement. See Note 6, *Material Agreements* to our accompanying condensed financial statements for details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Ondif**<sup>®</sup> – an oral soluble film formulation of ondansetron, a 5-HT antagonist, was developed for the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy and post-operative recovery. Ondansetron is available as branded and generic products as intravenous injections, intramuscular injections, orally dissolving tablets, oral solution tablets, and film. We licensed commercial rights for this product to Hypera in Brazil (which Hypera markets as Ondif). Hypera received approval to market Ondif in Brazil from ANVISA on February 21, 2022. Aquestive manufactures and supplies Ondif to Hypera. This product was originally approved and marketed in the U.S. under the name Zuplenz®. We submitted a request for voluntary withdrawal of the NDA for Zuplenz, as the product is no longer marketed in the U.S. In November 2024, the request for FDA withdrawal of the NDA for Zuplenz was completed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Libervant**<sup>®</sup> **-** We entered into the Pharmanovia Agreement with Pharmanovia, effective as of September 26, 2022, pursuant to which we granted Pharmanovia an exclusive license to certain of our intellectual property to develop and commercialize Libervant for the treatment of prolonged or acute, convulsive seizures in all ages in certain countries of the Territory, as defined in the Pharmanovia Agreement, during the term of the Pharmanovia Agreement. Under the Pharmanovia Agreement, Pharmanovia will lead the regulatory and commercialization activities for Libervant in the

------

Territory and Aquestive will serve as the exclusive sole manufacturer and supplier of Libervant in the Territory. We received $3.5 million upon agreement execution. Effective March 27, 2023, we amended the Pharmanovia Agreement to expand the scope of the licensed territory for Libervant to cover the rest of the world, excluding the U.S., Canada and China. Pharmanovia will be responsible for seeking appropriate regulatory approval in the expanded territories. Pursuant to the terms of the Pharmanovia Amendment, we received a non-refundable payment of $2.0 million from Pharmanovia on execution of the Pharmanovia Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Sympazan**<sup>®</sup> – an oral soluble film formulation of clobazam used for the treatment of seizures associated with a rare, intractable form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or LGS, in patients aged two years of age or older, was approved by the FDA on November 1, 2018. We commercially launched Sympazan in December 2018. On October 26, 2022, we entered into a License Agreement with Otter Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a subsidiary of Assertio Holdings, Inc., pursuant to which we granted an exclusive, worldwide license of its intellectual property for Sympazan to Assertio during the term of that agreement for an upfront payment of $9.0 million. Additionally, we subsequently received from Assertio a $6.0 million milestone payment upon its receipt of a notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office of its patent application U.S. Serial No. 16/561,573, and payment of the related allowance fee. Aquestive is the exclusive sole manufacturer and supplier of Sympazan for Assertio and will receive manufacturing fees from Assertio for the product through the expiration of such License Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•* KYNMOBI**<sup>®</sup>– a sublingual film formulation of apomorphine, which is a dopamine agonist, was developed to treat episodic off-periods in Parkinson's disease. We licensed our intellectual property to Cynapsus Therapeutics, Inc., a company that was acquired by Sunovion for the commercialization of KYNMOBI under the Sunovion License Agreement. KYNMOBI was approved by the FDA on May 21, 2020 and commercially launched by Sunovion in September 2020. On November 3, 2020, we entered into the Monetization Agreement. Under the terms of the Monetization Agreement, we sold all of our contractual rights to receive royalties and milestone payments due under the Sunovion License Agreement related to Sunovion's apomorphine product, KYNMOBI. In June 2023, Sunovion announced that it had voluntarily withdrawn KYNMOBI from the U.S. and Canadian markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Azstarys**<sup>®</sup> – an FDA-approved, once-daily product for the treatment of ADHD in patients age 6 years or older. AZSTARYS consists of serdexmethylphenidate, a prodrug of d-methylphenidate (d-MPH), co-formulated with immediate release d-MPH. In March 2012, we entered into an agreement with Zevra (formerly KemPharm, Inc.) to terminate a Collaboration and License Agreement entered into by the Company and Zevra in April 2011. Under this termination arrangement, we have the right to participate in any and all value that Zevra may derive from the commercialization or any other monetization of KP-415 and KP-484 compounds or their derivatives. Among these monetization transactions are those related to any business combinations involving Zevra and collaborations, royalty arrangements, or other transactions from which Zevra may realize value from these compounds, including the product Azstarys. On March 2, 2021, Zevra announced FDA approval of Azstarys for the treatment of ADHD. Pursuant to the terms of the March 2012 agreement with Zevra, we began to receive milestone and royalty revenues for Azstarys.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates**

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates as previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Smaller Reporting Company***

We are a "smaller reporting company", meaning we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a "smaller reporting company" which allows us to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and certain reduced financial disclosures in our periodic reports. In addition, we are eligible to remain a smaller reporting company, for so long as we have a public float (based on our Common Stock equity) of less than $250 million measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or a public float (based on our Common Stock equity) of less than $700 million as of such date and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result of these disclosure exemptions, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

**Financial Operations Overview**

***Revenues***

Our revenues to date have been earned from our manufactured products made to order for licensees, as well as revenue from our self-developed, self-commercialized proprietary product, Libervant. Revenues are also earned from our product development services provided under contracts with customers, and from the licensing of our intellectual property. We generate revenues in four primary categories: manufacture and supply revenue, license and royalty revenue, co-development and research fees, and proprietary product revenue, net.

*Manufacture and Supply Revenue*

We manufacture based on receipt of purchase orders from our licensees, and our licensees have an obligation to accept these orders once quality assurance validates the quality of the manufactured product with agreed upon technical specifications. In most cases, our licensees are responsible for all other aspects of commercialization of these products, and we have no role, either direct or indirect, in our customers' commercialization activities, including those related to marketing, pricing, sales, payor access and regulatory operations.

We expect future manufacture and supply revenue from licensed products to be based on volume demand for existing licensed products, and for manufacturing and supply rights under license and supply agreements for existing or new agreements for successful product development collaborations.

*License and Royalty Revenue*

We realize revenue from licenses of our intellectual property. For licenses that do not require further development or other ongoing activities by us, our licensee has acquired the right to use the licensed intellectual property for self-development of their product candidate, for manufacturing, commercialization or other specified purposes, upon the effective transfer of those rights, and related revenues are generally recorded at a point in time, subject to contingencies or constraints, if any. For licenses that may provide substantial value only in conjunction with other performance obligations to be provided by us, such as development services or the manufacture of specific products, revenues are generally recorded over the term of the license agreement. We also earn royalties based on our licensees' sales of products that use our intellectual property that are marketed and sold in the countries where we have patented technology rights.

*Co-development and Research Fees*

Co-development and research fees are earned through performance of specific tasks, activities or completion of stages of development defined within a contractual development or feasibility study agreement with a customer. The nature of these performance obligations, broadly referred to as milestones or deliverables, are usually dependent on the scope and structure of the project as contracted, as well as the complexity of the product and the specific regulatory approval path necessary for that product. Accordingly, the duration of our R&D projects may range from several months to as long as three years. Although each contractual arrangement is unique, common milestones contained in these arrangements include those for the performance of efficacy and other tests, reports of findings, formulation of initial prototypes, production of stability clinical and/or scale-up batches, and stability testing of those batches. Additional milestones may be established and linked to clinical results of the product submission and/or approval of the product by the FDA and the commercial launch of the product.

*Proprietary product revenue, net*

This net revenue is recognized when product is shipped and title passes to the customer, typically at time of delivery. At the time of sale, estimates for various revenue allowances are recorded based on historical trends and judgmental estimates. For sales of Libervant for patients between two to five years of age while Libervant had U.S. market access through April 2025, returns allowances and prompt pay discounts are estimated based on contract terms and historical return rates, if available, and these estimates are recorded as a reduction of receivables. Once receivables are collected, allowances are reclassified and treated as accrued liabilities. Similarly determined estimates are recorded relating to wholesaler service fees, co-pay support redemptions, and other rebates, and these estimates are reflected as a component of accrued liabilities. Once related variable considerations are resolved and uncertainties as to incurred amounts are eliminated, estimates are adjusted to actual allowance amounts. Provisions for these estimated amounts are reviewed and adjusted on no less than a quarterly basis.

***Costs and Expenses***

Our costs and expenses are primarily the result of the following activities: generation of manufacture and supply revenues; development of our pipeline of proprietary product candidates; and selling, general and administrative expenses, including pre-launch and post-launch commercialization efforts, intellectual property procurement, protection, prosecution and litigation expenses, corporate management functions, medical and clinical affairs administration; public company costs, share-based compensation expenses and interest on our corporate borrowings. We primarily record our costs and expenses in the following categories:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

*Manufacture and Supply Costs and Expenses*

Manufacture and supply costs and expenses are primarily incurred from the manufacture of our commercialized licensed pharmaceutical products, including raw materials, direct labor and overhead costs principally in our Portage, Indiana facilities. Our material costs include the costs of raw materials used in the production of our proprietary dissolving film and primary packaging materials. Direct labor costs consist of payroll costs (including taxes and benefits) of employees engaged in production activities. Overhead costs principally consist of indirect payroll, facilities rent, utilities and depreciation for leasehold improvements and production machinery and equipment. These costs can increase, or decrease, based on the costs of materials, purchased at market pricing, and the amount of direct labor required to produce a product, along with the allocation of fixed overhead, which is dependent on production volume.

Our manufacture and supply costs and expenses are impacted by our customers' supply requirements. Costs of production reflect the costs of raw materials that are purchased at market prices and production efficiency (measured by the cost of a salable unit). These costs can increase or decrease based on the amount of direct labor and materials required to produce a product and the allocation of fixed overhead, which is dependent on the levels of production.

In addition to our proprietary products coming online, we may add licensee products which may need additional resources to manufacture. If such growth should occur for higher volume product opportunities such as Suboxone and Ondif, we would incur increased costs associated with hiring additional personnel to support the increased manufacturing and supply costs arising from higher manufactured volumes from proprietary and licensed products.

*Research and Development Expenses*

Since our inception, we have focused significant resources on our R&D activities. R&D expenses primarily consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• employee-related expenses, including compensation, benefits, share-based compensation and travel expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• external R&D expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as CROs, investigational sites and consultants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the cost of acquiring, developing and manufacturing clinical study materials; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• costs associated with preclinical and clinical activities and regulatory operations.

We expect our R&D expenses to continue to be significant over the next several years as we continue to develop existing product candidates such as Anaphylm, AQST-108 and others, and as we identify and develop or acquire additional product candidates and technologies. We may hire or engage additional skilled colleagues or third parties to perform these activities, conduct clinical trials and ultimately seek regulatory approvals for any product candidate that successfully completes those clinical trials.

*Selling, General and Administrative Expenses*

Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, other related costs for executive, finance, and operational personnel. Other costs include facility and related costs not otherwise included in R&D expenses such as: professional fees for patent-related and other legal expenses, regulatory fees, consulting, tax and accounting services; insurance; market research; advisory board and key opinion leaders; depreciation; and general corporate expenses, inclusive of IT systems related costs. In addition, these expenses also include warehousing, distribution, selling and business development, and other costs.

Our general and administrative costs include costs related to accounting, audit, legal regulatory, and tax-related services required to maintain compliance with exchange listing and SEC regulations, director and officer insurance costs, and investor and public relations costs. We continue to incur significant costs in seeking to protect our intellectual property rights, including significant litigation costs in connection with seeking to enforce our rights concerning third parties' at-risk launch of generic products.

We will continue to manage business costs to prepare for a potential future decline in Suboxone revenue and other external factors affecting our business. We continue to focus on our core business and regulatory and pre-commercial launch activities for Anaphylm.

*Interest Expense*

Interest expense consists of interest costs on the outstanding balances of our 13.5% Notes at a fixed rate of 13.5%, payable quarterly, as well as amortization of issuance costs and debt discounts. The issuance of 13.5% Notes is discussed in

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

Note 14, *Long-Term Debt*, to our Condensed Financial Statements. See *Liquidity and Capital Resources* below for further detail on our 13.5% Notes.

*Interest Expense related to Royalty Obligations*

In connection with the issuance of the 13.5% Notes, we entered into the Royalty Rights Agreements with each of the Note Holders granting the Note Holders a tiered royalty between 1.0% and 2.0% of annual worldwide net sales of Anaphylm (epinephrine) Sublingual Film for a period of eight years from the first sale of Anaphylm on a global basis. The Note Holders are also entitled to a tiered royalty between 1.0% to 2.0% of annual worldwide net sales of Libervant (diazepam) Buccal Film until the earlier of (1) the first sale of Anaphylm and (2) eight years from the first sale of Libervant. These royalty agreements are classified as debt, and the value of the $45,000 13.5% Notes has been allocated between debt and the Royalty Obligations based on their relative fair market values. The excess of future estimated royalty payments of $56,546 over the $13,476 of the allocated fair value is recognized as a discount related to the Royalty Right Agreements and is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The 13.5% Notes are discussed in Note 14, *Long-Term Debt* to our Condensed Financial Statements*.*

*Interest Expense related to the Sale of Future Revenue*

On November 3, 2020, we entered into the Monetization Agreement with Marathon. Under the terms of the Monetization Agreement, we sold to Marathon all of our contractual rights to receive royalties and milestone payments due under the Sunovion License Agreement related to Sunovion's apomorphine product, KYNMOBI, an apomorphine film therapy for the treatment of off episodes in Parkinson's disease patients, which received approval from the FDA on May 21, 2020. In exchange for the sale of these rights, we received an upfront payment from Marathon of $40,000 and an additional payment of $10,000 through the achievement of the first milestone. We have received an aggregate amount of $50,000 through June 30, 2025 under the Monetization Agreement.

Under the Monetization Agreement, additional contingent payments of up to $75,000 may be due to us upon the achievement of worldwide royalty and other commercial targets within a specified timeframe, which could result in total potential proceeds of $125,000. In June 2023, Sunovion announced that it has voluntarily withdrawn KYNMOBI from the U.S. and Canadian markets, therefore, we likely will not receive any of the additional contingent payments under the Monetization agreement. We discontinued recording interest expense related to the sale of future revenue under the Monetization agreement in the fourth quarter of 2022.

During the second quarter of 2020, under the Sunovion License Agreement, we recognized $8,000 of royalty revenue and corresponding royalty receivable, related to the $1,000 annual minimum guaranteed royalty that is due in each of the subsequent eight years. In connection with the Monetization Agreement, we performed an assessment under ASC 860, *Transfer and Servicing* to determine whether the existing receivable was transferred to Marathon and concluded that the receivable was not transferred. See Note 16, *Sale of Future Revenue,* to our Condensed Financial Statements for further detail.

***Interest Income and other income, net***

Interest income and other income, net consists of earnings derived from an interest-bearing account, investments in money market Treasury mutual funds and other miscellaneous income and expense items. The interest-bearing account and money market Treasury mutual funds have no minimum amounts to be maintained in the accounts nor any fixed length of period for which interest and dividends are earned.

***Three Months Ended* June 30, 2025 *Compared to Three Months Ended* June 30, 2024**

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, total revenues decreased 50%, or $10,096, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to decreases in license and royalty revenue and proprietary product revenue, net partially offset by increases in manufacture and supply revenue.

Manufacture and supply revenue increased approximately 18%, or $1,460, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to a $1,951 increase in Ondif revenues, partially offset by a $435 decrease in Suboxone revenues.

License and royalty revenue decreased 93%, or $10,381, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the one-time recognition of deferred revenues of $7,000 due to the termination of the Licensing and Supply Agreement with Haisco and $3,317 due to the termination of the Licensing Agreement with MTPA in the prior year.

Co-development and research fees for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 50%, or $378, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was driven by the timing of the achievement of research and co-development performance obligations which are expected to fluctuate among reporting periods.

Proprietary product revenue, net decreased by $797 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the change in the estimated returns allowance provision due to the withdrawal of the product as U.S. market access ended in April 2025.

***Six Months Ended* June 30, 2025 *Compared to Six Months Ended* June 30, 2024**

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total revenues decreased 42%, or $13,429, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to decreases in license and royalty revenue and manufacture and supply revenue.

Manufacture and supply revenue decreased approximately 10%, or $1,865, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to a $4,898 decrease in Suboxone revenues, partially offset by a $3,422 increase in Ondif revenues.

License and royalty revenue decreased 87%, or $10,723, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the one-time recognition of deferred revenues of $7,000 due to the termination of the Licensing and Supply Agreement with Haisco and $3,317 due to the termination of the Licensing Agreement with MTPA in the prior year.

Co-development and research fees for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 31%, or $363 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was driven by the timing of the achievement of research and co-development performance obligations which are expected to fluctuate among reporting periods.

Proprietary product revenue, net decreased by $478 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the change in the estimated returns allowance provision due to the withdrawal of the product as U.S. market access ended in April 2025.

Total project expenses for Anaphylm decreased 29%, or $496 over the comparable period in 2024. Anaphylm clinical trial expenses decreased $687, partially offset by increases in Anaphylm product research expenses of $176 due to the continued advancement of the Anaphylm program. Total project expenses for AQST-108 increased $190, over the comparable period in 2024. AQST-108 clinical trial expenses increased $180 over the comparable period in 2024 due to the continued advancement of the AQST-108 program.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12% or $1,349 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase primarily represents higher commercial spending of approximately $2,040, higher regulatory and licensing fees of approximately $630 related to the acceleration of the recognition of the regulatory fee for Libervant due to the change in regulatory status, higher personnel costs of approximately $400, higher regulatory expenses related to Anaphylm of approximately $240, higher share-based compensation expenses of approximately $230, and higher consulting fees of approximately $170, partially offset by lower legal fees of approximately $2,510 and lower insurance expenses of $240.

Interest expense was $2,781 and $2,779 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts represent interest incurred on the outstanding 13.5% Notes, and amortization of the debt discount and capitalized debt issuance costs.

Interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the royalty obligations was $1,434 and $1,358 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are due to the accounting associated with the royalty obligations as part of the 13.5% Notes issuance.

Interest expense related to the sale of future revenue was $61 and $58 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and represents amortization of the issuance costs. These amounts are due to the accounting associated with the sale of future revenue related to KYNMOBI royalties sold to Marathon on November 3, 2020 and do not represent or imply a monetary obligation or cash outflow at any time during the life of the transaction. In June 2023, Sunovion announced that it had voluntarily withdrawn KYNMOBI from the U.S. and Canadian markets. Therefore, the Company likely will not receive any of the additional contingent payments under the Monetization agreement. As a result, the Company discontinued recording interest expense related to the sale of future revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 16, *Sale of Future Revenue* to our Condensed Financial Statements for details.

Interest income and other income, net was $2,096 and $1,395 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase primarily represents a ERTC credit received in April 2025, partially offset by lower investment income due to a lower cash balance invested in interest-bearing and dividend-earning money market accounts compared to the prior year period. In June 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $1,500 on the termination of a license and supply agreement, which was partially offset by the adjustment of $1,200 to the remaining balance of the intangible asset due to the termination of the agreement.

***Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2024***

Manufacture and supply costs and expenses decreased 8% or $702 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was largely due to lower volume of strips sold and changes in product mix.

R&D expenses decreased 6% or $628 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in R&D expenses is primarily due to a decrease in clinical trial costs associated with the continued advancement of the Anaphylm program, partially offset by increases in personnel costs, and an increase in share-based compensation.

Total project expenses for Anaphylm decreased 24%, or $1,155 over the comparable period in 2024. Anaphylm clinical trial expenses decreased $1,740 over the comparable period in 2024, partially offset offset increases in Anaphylm product research expenses of $689 due to the continued advancement of the Anaphylm program. Total project expenses for AQST-108 decreased $404 over the comparable period in 2024 due to the clinical study and feasibility work for AQST-108 performed in the prior year period.

R&D personnel costs increased by 11%, or $347, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due to additional headcount. R&D share-based compensation increased by $260, or 54%, which was primarily related to the effect of RSU grants to R&D personnel. All other R&D expenses include rent, utilities, maintenance and other expenses and fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 44% or $9,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase primarily represents regulatory fees related to the Anaphylm PDUFA fee of approximately $4,310, higher commercial spending of approximately $4,170, higher regulatory and licensing fees of approximately $1,140 related to the acceleration of the recognition of the regulatory fee for Libervant due to the change in regulatory status, higher personnel costs of approximately $840, higher share-based compensation expenses of approximately $540, higher regulatory expenses related to Anaphylm of approximately $370, and higher consulting fees of approximately $320, partially offset by decreases in severance costs of approximately $1,100, lower insurance expenses of approximately $480, and lower legal fees of approximately $390.

Interest expense was $5,563 and $5,563 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts represent interest incurred on the outstanding 13.5% Notes, and amortization of the debt discount and capitalized debt issuance costs.

Interest expense related to amortization of the discount on the royalty obligations was $2,871 and $2,716 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are due to the accounting associated with the royalty obligations as part of the 13.5% Notes issuance.

Interest expense related to the sale of future revenue was $120 and $116 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and represents amortization of the issuance costs. These amounts are due to the accounting associated with the sale of future revenue related to KYNMOBI royalties sold to Marathon on November 3, 2020 and do not represent or imply a monetary obligation or cash outflow at any time during the life of the transaction. In June 2023, Sunovion announced that it had voluntarily withdrawn KYNMOBI from the U.S. and Canadian markets. Therefore, the Company likely will not receive any of the additional contingent payments under the Monetization agreement. As a result, the Company discontinued recording interest expense related to the sale of future revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 16, *Sale of Future Revenue* to our Condensed Financial Statements for details.

Interest and other income, net was $2,809 and $1,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase primarily represents a ERTC credit received in April 2025. In June 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $1,500 on the termination of a license and supply agreement, which was partially offset by the adjustment of $1,200 to the remaining balance of the intangible asset due to the termination of the agreement.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Sources of Liquidity***

We had $60,536 in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025. While our ability to execute our business objectives and achieve profitability over the longer term cannot be assured, our on-going business, existing cash and cash equivalents, expense management activities, potential asset sales or product outlicensing as well as access to the equity capital markets, including through the ATM facility, provide near term liquidity for us to fund our operating needs for at least the next twelve months as we continue to execute our business strategy.

We established our first ATM facility in September 2019, and since inception to June 30, 2025, we have sold 27,315,145 shares of Common Stock which has generated net cash proceeds of approximately $81,794, net of commissions and other transactions costs of $3,849. On April 3, 2024, we filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to register the offer and sale of up to $250,000 worth of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and units ("Registration Statement No. 333-278498" or the "2024 Registration Statement"), that was effective by the SEC on April 23, 2024. Included as part of the 2024 Registration Statement was a $100,000 ATM facility, prospectus covering the offering, issuance and sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Amended Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Co.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no shares of Common Stock sold under the ATM facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold 7,457,627 shares of Common Stock under the ATM facility which provided net proceeds of approximately $21,271 after deducting commissions and other transaction costs of $729. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no shares of Common Stock sold under the ATM facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 4,557,220 shares under the ATM facility which provided net proceeds of approximately $11,855 after deducting commissions and other transaction costs of $530. The remaining authorized balance of the ATM facility was $78,000 as of June 30, 2025.

On June 6, 2022, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreements with certain purchasers. The Securities Purchase Agreements provide for the sale and issuance by us of an aggregate of: (i) 4,850,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (iii) Common Stock warrants to purchase up to 8,850,000 shares of Common Stock. The pre-funded warrants were fully exercised in 2022. In June 2023, 3,689,452 Common Stock warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements were exercised with proceeds of approximately $3,542.

In August 2023, we entered into the Letter Agreement with the Exercising Holder of 5,000,000 of the remaining Common Stock Warrants. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Exercising Holder and Aquestive agreed that the Exercising Holder would exercise all of its Existing Warrants at the then current exercise price of the Existing Warrants. The Exercising Holder subsequently exercised the Existing Warrants, with Aquestive receiving gross proceeds of $4,800. We also issued to the Exercising Holder New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of Common Stock. The New Warrants are exercisable after February 2, 2024, expire on February 2, 2029 and are exercisable only for cash, unless the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants are not registered in accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement, in which case the New Warrants may also be exercised by means of a "cashless exercise". The New Warrants have an exercise price of $2.60 per share.

On November 1, 2023, we issued $45,000 aggregate principal amount of its 13.5% Notes due November 1, 2028. A portion of the net proceeds from that offering was used to repay all of the outstanding 12.5% Notes and to pay expenses relating to that offering, with the balance of the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 13.5% Notes accrues at a rate of 13.5% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year commencing on December 30, 2023. The 13.5% Notes are interest-only until June 30, 2026, whereupon on such date and each payment date thereafter we will also pay an installment of principal of the 13.5% Notes pursuant to a fixed amortization

schedule, along with a portion of an Exit Fee determined as of the applicable date of prepayment, payment, acceleration, repurchase or redemption, as the case may be.

On March 22, 2024, we completed the Underwritten Public Offering of 16,666,667 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $4.50 per share. In addition, pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters' option, on April 22, 2024, we sold an additional 559,801 shares of Common Stock. Net proceeds from the Underwritten Public Offering, including the exercise of underwriters' option, were $72,868, after deducting underwriting discounts of $4,651. In addition to the underwriting discounts related to this offering, we incurred professional fees and other costs totaling $894.

---

***Net cash used for operating activities***

Net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $13,924 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used for operating activities was primarily related to the increase in net loss of $20,905, increases in trade and other receivables of $6,962, and increases in inventories of $1,884, partially offset by changes in deferred revenue of $11,067 which were mostly attributed to the recognition of deferred revenues due to the termination of license and supply agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and changes in prepaid expenses of $1,233 and other current liabilities of $2,882.

***Net cash used for investing activities***

Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $178 compared to the same period in the prior year. The use of cash was related to capital expenditures.

***Net cash provided by financing activities***

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $62,906 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily related to no proceeds received from the underwritten public offering as compared to net proceeds of $71,974 received in the same period in the prior year, partially offset by higher ATM proceeds of $9,419 due to higher volumes and Common Stock prices as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

***Funding Requirements***

Our on-going business, existing cash and equivalents, expense management activities as well as access to the equity capital markets, including through our ATM facility, and potential asset sales or product outlicensing potentially provide near term funding opportunities for Aquestive, see "*Liquidity and Capital Resources*". On November 1, 2023, we issued $45,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 13.5% Notes due November 1, 2028. A portion of the net proceeds from the Offering were used to redeem all of the outstanding 12.5% Notes and to pay expenses relating to the Offering, with the balance of the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

On March 22, 2024, we completed the Underwritten Public Offering of 16,666,667 shares of its common stock at the public offering price of $4.50 per share. In addition, pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters' option, on April 22, 2024, we sold an additional 559,801 shares of Common Stock. Net proceeds from the Underwritten Public Offering, including the exercise of underwriters' option, were $72,868, after deducting underwriting discounts of $4,651. In addition to the underwriting discounts related to this offering, we incurred professional fees and other costs totaling $894.

We have used and intend to continue to use our existing cash and cash equivalents, primarily to advance the development and commercialization of our product pipeline, including Anaphylm™ (epinephrine) Sublingual Film for the treatment of severe life-threatening allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and the commercial expansion of Libervant<sup>®</sup> (diazepam) Buccal Film for the treatment of ARS patients aged between two and five years until its U.S. market access was denied upon conversion by the FDA of its approval of Libervant for this patient population to a tentative approval, and for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. We can provide no assurance that any of these sources of funding, either individually or in combination, will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, or sufficient to fund our business objectives. In addition, we may be required to utilize available financial resources sooner than expected. We have based our expectation on assumptions that could change or prove to be inaccurate, due to unrelated factors including factors arising in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

capital markets, asset monetization markets, regulatory approval process, and regulatory oversight and other factors. Key factors and assumptions inherent in our planned continued operations and anticipated growth include, without limitation, those related to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued ability of our customers to pay, in a timely manner, for presently contracted and future anticipated orders for our manufactured products, including effects of generics and other competitive pressures as currently envisioned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued ability of our customers to pay, in a timely manner, for presently contracted and future anticipated orders for provided co-development and feasibility services, as well as regulatory support services for recently licensed products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to debt or equity markets if, and at the time, needed for any necessary future funding, including our ability to access funding through our ATM facility, should we choose to access this facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continuing review and appropriate adjustment of our cost structure consistent with our anticipated revenues and funding;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued growth and market penetration of Sympazan, including anticipated patient and physician acceptance and our licensee's ability to obtain adequate reimbursement and payment support from government agencies and other private medical insurers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• infrastructure and administrative costs at expected levels to support operations as an FDA and highly regulated public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a manageable level of costs for ongoing efforts to protect our intellectual property rights and litigation matters in which we are involved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued compliance with all covenants under our 13.5% Notes, including our ability to comply with our debt service obligations as required thereunder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• absence of significant unforeseen cash requirements.

We expect to continue to manage business costs to appropriately reflect the anticipated general decline in Suboxone revenue, and other external resources or factors affecting our business including, if available, future equity financing, other future access to the capital markets or other potential available sources of liquidity. In doing so, we plan to continue to focus on the core drivers of value for our stockholders, including, more importantly, continued investments in our ongoing product development activities in support of Anaphylm and AQST-108. Until profitability is achieved, if at all, additional capital and/or other financing or funding will be required, which could be material, to develop and commercialize Anaphylm and AQST-108, if approved by the FDA, and to meet our other cash requirements, including debt service, specifically our 13.5% Notes. Even as such, we expect to incur losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future and, therefore, we expect to be dependent upon external financing and funding to achieve our operating plan.

The sufficiency of our short-term and longer-term liquidity is directly impacted by our level of operating revenues and our ability to achieve our operating plan for revenues, regulatory approval in the time period planned for our product candidates and our ability to monetize other royalty streams or other licensed rights within planned timeframes, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any monetization transaction. Our operating revenues have fluctuated in the past and can be expected to fluctuate in the future. We expect to incur significant operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future, and we have a significant level of debt on which we have substantial ongoing interest payments, have principal repayments related to our 13.5% Notes starting in June 2026 through the debt maturity date and royalty obligation payments projected to be made from the fourth quarter of 2024 to 2034, which are further discussed in Note 14, *Long-Term Debt* to our Condensed Financial Statements. A substantial portion of our current and past revenues has been dependent upon our licensing, manufacturing and sales with one customer, Indivior, which is expected to continue, and it could take significantly longer than planned to achieve anticipated levels of cash flows to help fund our operations and cash needs.

We are currently engaging in plans to commercialize Anaphylm through our own sales force in the United States. We will need to raise significant funding to support these commercialization efforts. To the extent such additional financing through debt or debt-like instruments is required, we may have increased repayment obligations and potential limits on our flexibility to raise additional debt. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuance of equity securities, our stockholders would experience further dilution, and the terms of these securities could include liquidation or other preferences (if and to the extent permitted under the Indenture) that would adversely affect our stockholders' rights. Our ability to secure additional equity financing could be significantly impacted by numerous factors including our operating performance and prospects, positive or negative developments in the regulatory approval process for our product candidates, our existing level of debt which is secured by substantially all of our assets under the Indenture, and general financial market conditions, and there can be no assurance

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3095071428114d37aef7fa1bb353f07b_7)</u>

that we will continue to be successful in raising capital or that any such needed financing will be available on favorable or acceptable terms, if at all.

If adequate funds are not available for our short-term or longer-term liquidity needs and cash requirements as and when needed, we would be required to engage in expense management activities such as reducing staff, delaying, significantly scaling back, or even discontinuing some or all of our current or planned launch activities and R&D programs and clinical and other product development activities, and otherwise significantly reducing our other spending and adjusting our operating plan, and we would need to seek to take other steps intended to improve our liquidity. We also may seek outlicensing opportunities for our proprietary products and product candidate programs that we currently plan to self-commercialize, including for Libervant and Anaphylm, or explore other potential liquidity options or strategic opportunities. Such strategic opportunities could include asset sales, outlicensing or other monetization opportunities of our proprietary products and product candidates, including Libervant and Anaphylm, although we cannot assure that any of these actions or opportunities would be available or available on acceptable terms. While an outlicensing of our proprietary products and product candidates, if approved by the FDA, could limit our exposure to the costs of commercialization of the product and provide a potential source of royalty and milestone revenues, the benefit from the potential of additional future value that could result from our independent commercialization of these products and product candidates, assuming a successful launch of our proprietary products and product candidates, if approved by the FDA, would likely be limited. In addition, in the event of any such asset sales or outlicensing transactions, the future growth of the Company would be dependent on continued successful development of our early stage product candidates and/or asset acquisitions or other strategic transactions for the Company. There is no assurance that any such outlicensing or other strategic opportunities will be available or available on reasonable terms.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

During the period presented, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements, nor do we have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

**Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk***

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Controls and Procedures***

*Management's Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2025, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

*Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Legal Proceedings**

For more information on Legal Proceedings, see Part I Item I. Financial Statements (Unaudited), Note 20, *Contingencies*.

**Item 1A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk Factors**

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain risks and uncertainties facing the Company that could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and available capital resources set forth in Part I, Item 1A of Aquestive's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***We face risks associated with tariffs and other trade restrictions, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.***

Our Company faces risks associated with tariffs and other trade protection measures (including tariffs that have been or may in the future be imposed by the United States or other countries), import or export licensing requirements, trade embargoes, sanctions (including those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury), other trade barriers (including further legislation or actions taken by the United States or other countries that restrict trade), and protectionist or retaliatory measures taken by the United States or other countries.

Beginning in January 2025, the new administration in the United States began to increase tariff rates on numerous products from a range of nations. The global trade environment remains highly dynamic and continues to evolve. Current U.S. trade policy includes the imposition of baseline, reciprocal, sectoral or country-specific tariffs on imports. Other countries have announced retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions. While pharmaceutical products are currently excluded from the baseline and "reciprocal" tariffs imposed by the United States, such tariffs still apply to the raw materials and other products necessary for the manufacture and formulation of our marketed products and product candidates. In addition, the current U.S. administration has expressed an intent to impose tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, with the stated policy object of reshoring pharmaceutical manufacturing to the United States. Among other means, such tariffs may be imposed by the United States under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, pursuant to which the U.S. Department of Commerce recently initiated an investigation to determine the effects of importing pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients on national security.

We face significant risks from the existing tariffs imposed by the United States (such as those discussed above) and potential new tariffs as well as their secondary effects, including other countries' imposition of retaliatory tariffs and non-tariff barriers. Like all U.S. importers, our Company could pay more for foreign-sourced inputs, which could adversely affect our operating costs in the United States. Our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected due to the impact of the foregoing.

**Item 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

None.

**Item 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Defaults Upon Senior Securities**

None.

**Item 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mine Safety Disclosures**

Not applicable.

**Item 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Information**

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement."

## Exhibit 31.1

**Exhibit 31.1**

**Certification of Principal Executive Officer of Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc.**

**Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002**

I, Daniel Barber, certify that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Based on my knowledge, the consolidated financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
