**Fortress Biotech Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Recent Corporate Highlights** 

*Fortress subsidiary Checkpoint Therapeutics acquired by Sun Pharma; Fortress received ~$28 million at closing and is eligible to receive up to an additional $4.8 million under a contingent value right (CVR), plus a 2.5% royalty on future net sales of UNLOXCYT™ (cosibelimab-ipdl)*

*FDA accepted New Drug Application filing for priority review of CUTX-101 to treat Menkes disease; PDUFA goal date of September 30, 2025*

*Emrosi™ commercial launch initiated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults*

**Miami, FL – August 14, 2025** – Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBIO) ("Fortress"), an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring and advancing assets to enhance long-term value for shareholders through product revenue, equity holdings and dividend and royalty revenue, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., Fortress' Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We achieved several key milestones in the second quarter that underscore the strength of Fortress's diversified business model and our ability to create value across our portfolio. The acquisition of our subsidiary Checkpoint Therapeutics by Sun Pharma marked a significant validation of our business model, delivering approximately $28 million upfront, plus the potential for an additional contingent value right (CVR) payment and ongoing royalties on future sales of UNLOXCYT™ (cosibelimab-ipdl). We also look forward to the PDUFA goal date for CUTX-101, which is rapidly approaching on September 30, 2025 and the potential Priority Review Voucher which may be issued upon approval."

Dr. Rosenwald continued, "In addition, Mustang Bio received Orphan Drug Designation for MB-101, reinforcing the promise of our combination strategy leveraging MB-101 and MB-108 to target high-grade gliomas. Journey Medical continues to execute well, with the launch of Emrosi™ and commercial uptake, including expanded payer coverage now reaching 65% of U.S. commercial lives. We remain focused on unlocking the value of our portfolio and delivering innovative treatments to patients in need."

**Recent Corporate Highlights**<sup>[1](#footnote-2)</sup>**:**

*Monetization Updates*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;●On May 30, 2025, Fortress' subsidiary, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. ("Checkpoint"), was acquired by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and/or associated companies, "Sun Pharma"). Fortress received ~$28 million shortly after closing and is eligible to receive up to an

<sup>1</sup> The development programs depicted in this press release include product candidates in development at Fortress, at Fortress' private or public subsidiaries (referred to herein as "subsidiaries" or "partner companies") and at entities with whom one of the foregoing parties has a significant business relationship, such as an exclusive license or an ongoing product-related payment obligation (such entities referred to herein as "partners"). The words "we", "us" and "our" may refer to Fortress individually, to one or more of our subsidiaries and/or partner companies, or to all such entities as a group, as dictated by context.

additional $4.8 million under a contingent value right (CVR), plus a 2.5% royalty on future net sales of UNLOXCYT™ (cosibelimab-ipdl).

*Regulatory Updates*

● The FDA accepted the NDA submission for CUTX-101 (copper histidinate for Menkes disease) for priority review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") goal date of September 30, 2025. In December 2023, we completed the asset transfer of CUTX-101 to Sentynl Therapeutics ("Sentynl"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences Ltd. C yprium Therapeutics, our subsidiary company that developed CUTX-101, will retain 100% ownership over any FDA Priority Review Voucher that may be issued at NDA approval .

● In July 2025, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to Mustang for MB-101 (IL13Ra2-targeted CAR T-cells) for the treatment of recurrent diffuse and anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma. MB-101 received Orphan Drug Designation on time and with a designation that is broader than the indication proposed. We intend to advance MB-101, in combination with MB-108, as a potential treatment option. Our novel therapeutic strategy, combining our MB-101 CAR-T cell therapy with our MB-108 oncolytic virus, leverages MB-108 to reshape the tumor microenvironment ("TME") to make cold tumors "hot," thereby potentially improving the efficacy of MB-101 CAR-T cell therapy.

*Commercial Product Updates*

● Journey Medical's net product revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $15.0 million, compared to net product revenues of $14.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

● At the end of March 2025, Journey Medical announced initial distribution to pharmacies and first prescriptions filled for Emrosi for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. The full commercial launch began on April 7, 2025. Emrosi is available by prescription at specialty pharmacy chains.

● In July 2025, Journey Medical announced expanded payer access with over 100 million commercial lives in the United States for Emrosi (40mg Minocycline Hydrochloride Modified-Release Capsules, 10mg immediate release and 30mg extended release), the Company's recently launched treatment for the inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. This compares to 54 million commercial lives in May 2025.

*Clinical Updates*

● In June 2025, we announced that a data analysis from the two Phase 3 multicenter clinical trials evaluating Emrosi for the treatment of moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea in adults was presented at the Society of Dermatology Physician Associates 2025 Summer Dermatology Conference. The analysis determined that differences in body weight did not affect the efficacy of Emrosi in the two Phase 3 trials, which supported its November 2024 FDA approval.

● In July 2025, AstraZeneca announced that anselamimab (formerly known as CAEL-101) did not achieve statistical significance for the primary endpoint in its Phase III Cardiac Amyloid Reaching for Extended Survival ("CARES") clinical program for Mayo stages IIIa and IIIb AL amyloidosis patients. However, the drug showed clinically meaningful improvement in a prespecified subgroup and was well tolerated. AstraZeneca is continuing to evaluate the full results and plans to share the data with health authorities and at a medical meeting.

**General Corporate:**

● Journey Medical joined the small-cap Russell 2000® Index and the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, effective after the close of U.S. equity markets on June 27, 2025, as a result of the 2025 annual Russell Index reconstitution.
