Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of neffy (currently identified in the European Union ("EU") and United Kingdom ("UK") by the trade name EURneffy and in China by the trade name 优敏速) for needle-free intranasal delivery of epinephrine for emergency treatment of Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. neffy is the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and European Commission-approved needle-free epinephrine product, and also has approvals in the UK, Japan, Australia, China, and Canada. It is the first new delivery method for epinephrine in more than 35 years. neffy is a proprietary composition of epinephrine with an innovative absorption enhancer called Intravail, which allows neffy to safely provide intranasal delivery of epinephrine at a low dose within the exposures of approved injectable products across a range of dosing conditions (including repeat dosing and allergen challenge). We believe the market opportunity for neffy in the United States is significant. At the current list price for neffy and our target total gross-to-net yield, the estimated 6.5 million patients currently prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector in the United States represents an initial addressable market opportunity of approximately $3.5 billion in annual net sales, while the remaining 13.5 million diagnosed patients that have not been prescribed an epinephrine product represent an additional addressable market opportunity of approximately $7.0 billion in annual net sales.
We believe neffy's "no needle, no injection" approach addresses a significant unmet need in the use of epinephrine. There are approximately 40 million people in the U.S. who experience Type I allergic reactions. Of this group, approximately 20 million people are reported to have been diagnosed and experienced severe Type I allergic reactions that may lead to anaphylaxis, and approximately 6.5 million of those were prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector. However, in recent years, only an estimated one-half of those consistently carry their prescribed autoinjector with them. We believe the market opportunity for neffy in the U.S. is significant. Those estimated 3.2 million patients who currently fill their active epinephrine autoinjector prescription would represent approximately $1.8 billion in annual U.S. net sales at neffy's target estimated gross-to-net yield based on epinephrine device unit volume in 2025.
Our U.S. commercial launch is building momentum, and our launch data shows meaningful physician and patient demand. More than 28,000 healthcare providers have prescribed neffy to date, with approximately half being repeat prescribers. Approximately 120,000 patients are using neffy in the U.S. as of the end of the first quarter of 2026, with about 29,500 added during the first quarter of 2026. With increasing demand, we're securing broad insurance coverage, which we believe is a critical factor for accelerating adoption in the high patient volume epinephrine market. Currently, we have approximately 90% overall commercial coverage, inclusive of plans that may still require prior authorization, approximately 57% coverage with commercial insurance without prior authorization, and 9 of 50 Medicaid states covering neffy without prior authorization, including Florida. Florida, a bellwether Medicaid state, has added neffy to its unrestricted formulary effective July 1, 2026, with many additional states progressing towards placing neffy on their preferred drug list.
In August 2024, the FDA approved neffy 2 mg for the emergency treatment of Type I allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adults and children who weigh 30 kg or greater, with neffy 1 mg subsequently approved in March 2025 for patients who are four years of age and older who weigh 15 kg to less than 30 kg. In March 2026, the FDA approved updating the neffy 1 mg label to remove the age criteria so all children and adults who weigh 15 kg or more can utilize neffy 1 mg. Our launch strategy for neffy in the United States involves direct outreach to high-volume prescribers of epinephrine accounting for approximately 55% of prescriptions in the last year through an efficient sales force. As of March 31, 2026, our sales force is comprised of approximately 106 ARS Pharma employees, who serve as sales reps, key account managers, area sales managers, and national sales directors, as well as 10 virtual sales reps, and approximately 80 sales reps via our co-promotion partner, ALK U.S., who began field operations in June 2025 and will target over 10,000 specified pediatricians and other prescribers in the U.S. We completed our sales force expansion in early May 2026, expanding our internal sales force to 148 ARS Pharma employees.
Our launch strategy is also supported by: active participation since November 2024 of approximately 3,400 healthcare professionals in our neffy experience program that allows healthcare professionals to use neffy firsthand as rescue therapy for anaphylaxis during in-clinic allergen challenge as well as for the ongoing collection of real-world evidence that supports neffy's clinical equivalence to injection; extensive non-personal promotion including medical education programs in collaboration with allergist societies, speaker bureaus, peer-to-peer programs and participation in regional and national medical conferences; engagement and contracting with payors to obtain timely coverage with favorable gross-to-net discounting, including CVS Caremark, where the approval process is actively ongoing for addition of neffy to CVS' commercial formularies without prior authorization; our artificial intelligence solution to support healthcare providers by automating the checking and writing of prior authorizations; our neffyconnect program that provides support to physicians and patients including our $25 co-pay savings card, $199 cash price available through all channels including retail via a denial-conversion system, and patient assistance programs; our neffyinSchools programs, where more than 10,000 schools to date have opted into receiving two cartons of neffy at no cost with accompanying school nurse education about neffy; partnerships with patient advocacy organizations including disease awareness campaigns; and multi-channel branded direct to consumer advertising including connected television, point of care, endemic and programmatic display, social media, and paid search, as well as linear television advertising. To reduce the time burden of an in-person healthcare provider visit, we also launched a new commercial initiative in November 2025 called "Get neffy on Us" that offers patients a free visit on our virtual prescriber website, getneffy.com, along with a $0 co-pay for eligible patients with commercial insurance. We also initiated a U.S. post-marketing registry-based study for neffy for the treatment of anaphylaxis in oral food challenge or allergen immunotherapy clinics in the second quarter of 2025, which is ongoing.
In August 2024, the EC granted marketing authorization in the EU for EURneffy 2 mg (the trade name for neffy 2 mg in the EU and UK), for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, in adults and children who are four years of age and older who weigh 30 kg or greater. In March 2026, the EMA granted marketing authorization in the EU for EURneffy 1 mg for children who are four years of age and older who weigh 15 kg to less than 30 kg. Through our collaboration with ALK, EURneffy 2 mg was launched in Europe, beginning with Germany in June 2025, followed by the UK in October 2025. We received approval of neffy 2 mg and 1 mg in Japan in September 2025, and neffy was launched in February 2026 by our collaboration partner, Alfresa. We also received approval of neffy 2 mg and 1 mg in Australia in December 2025, and neffy was launched in February 2026 by our collaboration partner, Seqirus. In December 2025, we received approval in China of 优敏速 (the trade name for neffy 2 mg in China), with commercial launch by our collaboration partner, Pediatrix, expected to start in the first half of 2026. In April 2026, we received approval in Canada of neffy 2 mg, with commercial launch by our collaboration partner, ALK, expected later in 2026. neffy has already been approved or is under regulatory review in countries representing approximately 98% of the current global epinephrine autoinjector sales market.
Real-world data supports that neffy delivers similar response rates as injections for the emergency treatment of Type I allergic reactions. In September 2025, we reported survey results of anaphylaxis treatment outcomes in the neffy experience program, which provides 1 mg and 2 mg doses of neffy to allergists for in-office use if patients experience an anaphylactic event during oral food challenges or allergen immunotherapy. These results showed that approximately 90% of patients experiencing anaphylaxis symptoms were effectively treated with a single dose of neffy, which is consistent with that historically reported for epinephrine injection. The results were presented as an oral presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology ("ACAAI") meeting in early November 2025 and was also published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the official peer-reviewed journal of the ACAAI, in December 2025. In addition, more than 200 successful uses of neffy to treat anaphylaxis episodes in school have been reported to date by nurses through our neffyinSchools program.
We reported positive topline results demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in treatment-refractory chronic urticaria patients at the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology medical conference in February 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a Phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled outpatient clinical trial involving chronic spontaneous urticaria patients, on chronic treatment regimens, who still experience flares or exacerbations. The interim analysis population is fully enrolled as of May 2026, and interim data from this clinical trial is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, followed by the potential initiation of a single Phase 3 pivotal efficacy study in mid-2027.
Since our inception in 2015 as ARS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to developing intellectual property, conducting product development and clinical trials, organizing and staffing, business planning, raising capital, building infrastructure, pre-commercial and commercial activities, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the merger with Silverback Therapeutics, Inc. ("Silverback") in November 2022 (the "Merger"), private placement of convertible preferred stock, issuance of common stock, licensing, supply and distribution arrangements with our commercialization partners, debt, and net product sales. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $201.0 million.
We have incurred net losses in most years since our inception. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $60.6 million and $33.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $355.2 million. Until we consistently generate positive net income, if ever, our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials, our expenditures on other development activities, the cost for regulatory filings, expenses for commercial activities to establish, maintain and enhance sales, marketing and distribution capabilities for neffy, the timing and volume of our product sales, and our ability to earn potential royalties and regulatory and commercial milestones under our license and collaboration arrangements.
Until such time, if ever, that we can generate substantial product revenue, we may finance our operations through our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, equity offerings, debt financings and other capital sources which may include collaborations, strategic alliances, marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements or other arrangements with third parties. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. In addition, any future debt agreements may limit our ability to enter into certain debt financings without the consent of the lenders thereunder. On September 29, 2025 we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with RA Capital Agency Services, LLC (as the "Administrative Agent") and affiliates of OMERS Administration Corporation and RA Capital Management, L.P. as lenders (the "Lenders"), which provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million of term loans from the Lenders to us (the "Credit Facility"). Subject to limited exceptions, we are prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness and entering into certain strategic and licensing transactions without the prior written consent of the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and may require us to delay or reduce our marketing and sales efforts, or delay, reduce or terminate our research and development programs or other operations, or grant rights to develop and market products or product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
We do not own or operate manufacturing facilities. We currently rely on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for neffy and our intranasal epinephrine technology product candidates, and we expect to continue to do so to meet our nonclinical, clinical and commercial activities. Our third-party manufacturers are required to manufacture our product under cGMP requirements and other applicable laws and regulations.
Financial Overview
Revenues
We have recognized net product sales in the United States since the commercial launch of neffy in September 2024. We have signed collaboration and license agreements for neffy for all geographies outside of the United States. The terms of these agreements may include payment to us of one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront license fees; clinical, regulatory, and/or commercial milestone payments; clinical development fees; and royalties or a transfer price on net sales of licensed products if neffy receives marketing approval in these regions. We expect product revenues to fluctuate in future periods as we continue with the commercial launch of neffy. We expect revenues under collaboration agreements to fluctuate in future periods based on our ability to meet various regulatory milestones, and contingent on successfully obtaining regulatory approval for neffy in the licensed regions, commercial milestones, royalties or transfer price earned from our partner's net sales and the supply of commercial product as set forth in the agreements described earlier.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct and indirect costs to manufacture neffy for commercial sale, including third-party manufacturing costs, raw material and component costs, excess or obsolete inventory adjustment charges, inventory write offs, packaging services, freight, storage costs, distribution fees, amortization of capitalized in-licensed costs, royalties on product sales, salaries and related expenses for personnel, and stock-based compensation. Prior to the FDA approval of neffy in August 2024, certain inventory components were purchased to manufacture neffy and recorded as research and development expenses, resulting in zero-cost inventory components. As a result, the cost of goods sold related to neffy will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials, as previously expensed inventory components are consumed in commercial production and sold to customers.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $5.3 million in zero-cost inventory components remaining, and no zero-cost inventory components were determined to be obsolete. Based on our current forecast, we expect zero-cost inventory components to be substantially consumed in commercial production by the second half of 2026. The time over which the zero-cost inventory components are included in cost of goods sold will depend on several factors, but primarily the timing of future neffy sales.
Research and Development Expenses
To date, our research and development expenses have been related primarily to clinical development, process development, and manufacturing costs of neffy and our intranasal epinephrine technology product candidates. Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received.
Research and development expenses include:
Our external research and development expenses for neffy and our intranasal epinephrine technology product candidates consist primarily of fees, materials and other costs paid to CROs, CMOs, consultant and contractors. Our clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, and non-clinical development costs for the periods presented below reflect an allocation of expenses associated with personnel costs, stock-based compensation expense, and indirect costs incurred in support of overall research and development, such as facilities-related costs.
We cannot determine with certainty the timing of initiation, the duration or the completion costs of current or future clinical trials and the manufacturing costs of neffy and our intranasal epinephrine technology product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of clinical development and manufacturing activities. Clinical development and manufacturing timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast to what degree our licensing, supply and distribution arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.
The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of neffy and our intranasal epinephrine technology product candidates for the treatment of additional indications will depend on a variety of factors that include:
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of neffy and our intranasal epinephrine technology product candidates could significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of that future product candidate. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research and manufacturing to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The actual probability of success for any future candidates may be affected by a variety of factors. Further, a number of factors, including those outside of our control, could adversely impact the timing and duration of our product's or any future candidates' development, which could increase our research and development expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of marketing-related expenses and salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation for personnel in executive, finance, business development, sales and marketing, and other corporate administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include legal fees incurred relating to corporate and patent matters, professional fees incurred for accounting, auditing, tax and administrative consulting services, and insurance costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses have increased due to the establishment of our sales force, the development and commencement of our marketing campaigns and initiatives, the co-promotion agreement between us and ALK-Abelló, Inc., which was entered into in May 2025 and subsequently amended in October 2025 and March 2026 (the "ALK Co-Promotion Agreement"), the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel to support full commercialization activities, and the addition of infrastructure and programs to support commercialization activities. We expect to continue to incur audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, board of director fees, investor relations costs associated with operating as a public company, patent costs and defense, and general and administrative personnel.
Other Income, net
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income from our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, interest expense on our outstanding debt, and net amortization and accretion associated with our short-term investments.

Revenues. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $22.7 million, as compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 includes $17.5 million in net product revenues for sales of neffy in the United States, $2.5 million in revenue for the achievement of the regulatory milestone and performance of development and regulatory services under the collaboration, license and distribution agreement we entered into with ALK-Abelló A/S in November 2024 (the "ALK Collaboration Agreement"), and $2.7 million in revenue under supply agreements with partners. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes $7.8 million in net product revenues for sales of neffy and $0.2 million in revenue for the performance of development and regulatory services under the ALK Collaboration Agreement.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.3 million, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $5.2 million was primarily driven by direct and indirect product costs incurred in connection with U.S. product sales and the commercial launches of neffy in the U.K., EU, Japan, and Australia following regulatory approval in each market. Our global expansion also resulted in a corresponding increase in royalty expense on worldwide net product revenue.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.3 million, as compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $1.4 million was primarily due to increases in product-development related expense of $0.5 million, personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, of $0.5 million, and other research and development expenses of $0.4 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $72.2 million, as compared to $41.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $31.1 million was primarily due to increases in marketing-related expenses of $26.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $1.9 million, legal fees of $0.9 million, outside services of $0.9 million, conference and seminar expense of $0.6 million, and other general operating costs of $0.4 million.
Other (Expense) Income, Net. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.5 million, as compared to other income, net of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change of $3.7 million was primarily due to interest expense related to our Credit Agreement of $2.4 million and decreases in net accretion of discounts on short-term investments of $1.1 million and interest income of $0.2 million from our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Capital
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from the Merger with Silverback, private placement of convertible preferred stock, issuance of common stock, licensing, supply and distribution arrangements with our commercialization partners, debt, and net product sales. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $201.0 million.

Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $44.9 million. This consisted primarily of a net loss of $60.6 million, an increase in our operating assets and operating liabilities of $1.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively, and non-cash charges of $7.1 million. The increase in our operating assets was primarily attributable to increases in accounts receivable of $0.8 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.5 million. The increase in our operating liabilities was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10.3 million. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of non-cash stock-based compensation of $7.4 million, partially offset by $1.0 million in net accretion of discounts on short-term investments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $40.7 million. This consisted primarily of a net loss of $33.9 million, an increase in our operating assets of $14.4 million, an increase in our operating liabilities of $4.0 million, and non-cash charges of $3.6 million. The increase in our operating assets was due to increases in inventories of $8.4 million, prepaid expenses and other assets of $4.8 million, and accounts receivable of $1.1 million. The increase in our operating liabilities was due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in contract liability of $0.2 million. The non-cash charges consisted primarily of non-cash stock-based compensation of $5.3 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million, partially offset by $2.0 million in net accretion of discounts on short-term investments.
Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents provided by investing activities was $27.8 million. This consisted primarily of maturities of short-term investments of $42.5 million, partially offset by purchases of short-term investments of $14.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents provided by investing activities was $29.1 million. This consisted of maturities of short-term investments of $63.5 million, partially offset by purchases of short-term investments of $34.3 million and purchases of property and equipment of $0.1 million.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the $0.2 million of cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was attributable to proceeds from stock option exercises and proceeds from royalties earned under license agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the $0.7 million of cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities was attributable to proceeds from stock option exercises.
Term Loans
On September 29, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), we entered into the Credit Agreement with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, which provides for an aggregate principal amount up to $250.0 million of term loans from the Lenders to us, including an initial tranche of $100.0 million under Term A Loan funded on the Closing Date, $25.0 million under Term B Loan that will be made available during the period commencing on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending no later than the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, up to $25.0 million under Term C Loan will be made available at our election during the period commencing on and including the Closing Date and ending no later than the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of a certain revenue requirement, and up to $100.0 million under Term D Loan, subject to the consent of the Lenders. The Term Loans will mature on the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Credit Facility enhances our liquidity position and provides additional financial flexibility, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions for future tranches and revenue-based requirements for the third tranche.
Future Funding Requirements
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, revenues from product sales, and cash proceeds from collaboration and out-licensing agreements will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements until we achieve cash-flow break-even. In particular, we expect these resources will allow us to fund commercial manufacturing and sales and marketing activities, general operating activities and working capital requirements, and proof of concept clinical trials of neffy for additional indications. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these trials is uncertain.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, equity offerings, debt financings and other capital sources which may include collaborations, strategic alliances, marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements or other arrangements with third parties. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. In addition, our current or future debt agreements may limit our ability to incur additional debt. Subject to limited exceptions, we are prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness and entering into certain strategic and licensing transactions without the prior written consent of the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If we raise funds through additional collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, development programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock.
Our ability to raise additional funds may be adversely impacted by macroeconomic factors that may result in worsening global economic conditions and disruptions to and volatility in the global credit and financial markets, including due to tariffs, trade wars, inflation, high interest rates, recessionary concerns, recessions, bank failures, geopolitical conflicts, and general economic uncertainty. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, we cannot predict the timing or amount of increased expenses and cannot assure you that we will generate profits or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future.
Future Contractual Cash Obligations
The remaining unconditional purchase obligations related to the supply of raw materials totaled $55.3 million as of March 31, 2026. Our remaining obligations by year are as follows: 2026 ($9.1 million), 2027 ($11.8 million), 2028 ($13.8 million), and $2.9 million per year thereafter through 2035.

Our remaining obligations by year are as follows: 2026 ($4.4 million), 2027 ($14.6 million), 2028 ($5.8 million), and 2029 ($3.6 million). In addition to the base fee, ALK U.S will be eligible to receive performance-based payments from us. Future performance-based payment amounts are indeterminate since they depend on future revenues, which are uncertain.
In August 2024, we entered into a corporate sponsorship agreement with Food Allergy Research and Education, Inc., which was subsequently amended in May 2025. Our remaining obligations under this agreement totaled $5.0 million as of March 31, 2026. Our remaining obligations by year are as follows: 2026 ($4.0 million) and 2027 ($1.0 million).
Under the Credit Agreement, the outstanding principal of $100.0 million as of March 31, 2026 is due upon maturity on September 29, 2030. Estimated interest payments are calculated based on the outstanding principal, the applicable interest rate and expected timing of scheduled payments as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, based on the interest rate in effect at such date, estimated remaining interest payments are $41.9 million, and our estimated remaining interest payments by year are as follows: 2026 ($7.0 million), 2027 ($9.3 million), 2028 ($9.3 million), 2029 ($9.3 million), and 2030 ($6.9 million).
Under the Aegis Agreement, remaining payment obligations to OrbiMed are contingent upon our achievement of certain commercial milestones and totaled $9.0 million as of March 31, 2026. We are also required to make royalty payments to OrbiMed based on a mid-single-digit percentage of net product sales. Future royalty payment amounts are indeterminate since they depend on future revenues, which are uncertain.
In February 2023, we entered into a termination agreement (the "Recordati Termination Agreement") with Recordati Ireland, Ltd. ("Recordati") to reacquire the rights to neffy in Europe and certain European Free Trade Association, Russia/the Commonwealth of Independent States, Middle East and African countries (the "Recordati Territory"). Under the Recordati Termination Agreement, we are required to make royalty payments to Recordati of up to €5.0 million in the aggregate from sales of neffy in the Recordati Territory, of which up to €4.6 million (approximately $5.2 million in U.S. dollars) remain outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Future royalty payment amounts are indeterminate since they depend on future revenues, which are uncertain.
We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with third-party contract organizations and vendors for clinical studies, manufacturing and other services and products. These contracts generally provide for termination after a notice period.
As of March 31, 2026, we have not recognized any reserves related to uncertain tax positions and had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026 and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
