+Added: care program to transition approximately 25,000 ImprimisRx patients from our Klarity-C (0.1% cyclosporine) compounded formulation to
+Added: VEVYE (0.1% cyclosporine), and we expect to discontinue compounding Klarity-C by June 30, 2025.
+Added: We are also discontinuing
+Added: another related compounded formulation called Klarity PF.
+Added: Klarity PF is primarily purchased by a concentrated group of customers
+Added: who we expect to accept our FRESHKOTE product as an alternative.

+Added: qualification batches of the product.
+Added: In March 2025, we announced TRIESENCE was granted temporary pass-through reimbursement status
+Added: to be made effective April 1, 2025.
+Added: In connection with the re-launch, during October 2024 we made a one-time payment of $37,000,000
+Added: to Novartis Technology, LLC and Novartis Innovative Therapies AG (together, “Novartis”) pursuant to terms of an asset
+Added: purchase agreement between Novartis and the Company.
+Added: Also, during October 2024, we entered into the Second Amendment (the
+Added: “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty originally entered into on March 27, 2023, as amended by that
+Added: certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Consent, dated as of July 18, 2023 (as amended, the “Oaktree
+Added: Loan”), with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, as administrative agent for the
+Added: lenders (together “Oaktree”).
+Added: Upon satisfaction of certain conditions to funding, the Company drew down the principal
+Added: amount of $30,000,000 (the “$30,000,000 Draw”) under a pre-existing commitment under the Oaktree Loan to partially fund
+Added: the one-time payment to Novartis.
+Added: Second Amendment, the Company and Oaktree agreed to certain changes to the Oaktree Loan in connection with the Company’s draw under
+Added: the Oaktree Loan.
+Added: Pursuant to the amendment, Oaktree agreed to waive any make-whole costs associated with the $30,000,000 Draw in the
+Added: event of early repayment of the debt under the Oaktree Loan if paid before March 31, 2025.
+Added: In addition, Oaktree agreed to exclude the

+Added: amount of $107,500,000 under the Oaktree Loan and no additional principal loan amount remains available to the Company under the Oaktree
+Added: Apotex - Canadian Out-License
+Added: 2024, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Apotex Inc.
+Added: Under the terms of the agreement, Apotex
+Added: licensed exclusive rights and marketing authorizations of the following products in the Canadian market from Harrow:
+Added: VERKAZIA (cyclosporine
+Added: ophthalmic emulsion) 0.1% and Cationorm PLUS.
+Added: Apotex was also granted a license for products Apotex will pursue approval for in Canada:
+Added: VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1%, IHEEZO (chloroprocaine hydrochloride ophthalmic gel) 3%, and ZERVIATE (cetirizine ophthalmic

+Added: Harrow will earn amounts related to manufacturing, regulatory and commercial achievement milestones, in addition to royalties on net
+Added: sales of the Apotex Products.
+Added: IHEEZO Reimbursement
+Added: 2024, we met with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) to request clarification related to its anesthesia
+Added: billing policy which has historically not allowed for the separate billing of anesthesia services in the physician’s office.
+Added: the meeting we requested that CMS clarify that J-Code 2403, IHEEZO’s permanent J-Code, is appropriate to be billed for the anesthesia
+Added: product itself (i.e., IHEEZO in our case) in the physician office setting.
+Added: In March 2024, we received communication from a representative
+Added: at CMS that the inclusion of J-Code 2403 in CMS’s April 2024 quarterly drug pricing file of the average sales prices (ASP) of some
+Added: Medicare Part B-covered drugs and biologicals confirms that IHEEZO is separately payable in the physician office setting.
+Added: 2024, we made a request to CMS to consider increasing the Medically Unlikely Edits (“MUE”) for IHEEZO’s J-Code from
+Added: This request was made because the limitation of one MUE only allowed a single IHEEZO administration (equal to one single-use
+Added: vial) to be used and billed, while many ophthalmologists perform bilateral ocular procedures, which would require two vials of IHEEZO
+Added: On March 20, 2024, we received communication from the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) program of CMS stating that
+Added: CMS decided to increase the MUE for IHEEZO’s J-Code (J2403) from 1 to 2.
+Added: The MUE edit was made effective on July 1, 2024.
+Added: 2024, we launched VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1%, the first and only water-free cyclosporine dissolved in a semifluorinated
alkane approved to treat both the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in the U.S.

−Removed: Reimbursement, Launch and Studies
−Removed: February 2023, we announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) had issued a permanent, product
−Removed: specific J-code for IHEEZO (J2403) which became effective under the Healthcare Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) on April 1, 2023, which
−Removed: physicians can use for reimbursement purposes of that product.
−Removed: New drugs approved by the U.S.
−Removed: Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
−Removed: that are used in surgeries performed in hospital outpatient departments or ambulatory surgical centers may receive a transitional pass-through
−Removed: reimbursement under Medicare, provided they meet certain criteria, including a “not insignificant” cost criterion.
−Removed: status allows for separate payment (i.e., outside the packaged payment rate for the surgical procedure) under Medicare Part B, which
−Removed: consists of Medicare reimbursement for a drug based on a defined formula for calculating the minimum fee that a manufacturer may charge
−Removed: for the drug.
−Removed: Under current regulations of CMS, pass-through status applies for a period of three years;
−Removed: which is measured from the date
−Removed: Medicare makes its first pass-through payment for the product.
−Removed: Following the three-year period, the product would be incorporated into
−Removed: the cataract bundled payment system, which could significantly reduce the pricing for that product.
−Removed: Temporary pass-through reimbursement
−Removed: for IHEEZO was awarded by CMS and made effective in April 2023.
−Removed: are also working to ensure our continued access to the Medicare market for the ambulatory surgery center (ASC), hospital and outpatient

−Removed: In this regard, we are designing and intend to execute, during 2024, clinical
−Removed: studies to build data sets that could be presented to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to extend our temporary pass-through
−Removed: period for IHEEZO in ASCs and HOPDs.
−Removed: We also met with CMS in January 2024 to request clarification related to its anesthesia billing
−Removed: policy which has historically not allowed for the separate billing of anesthesia services in the physician’s office.
−Removed: meeting we requested that CMS clarify that J-Code 2403, IHEEZO’s permanent J-Code, is appropriate to be billed for the anesthesia

−Removed: 2023, our full commercial launch of IHEEZO occurred, with the product being highlighted by our commercial team at the ASCRS (American
−Removed: Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery) Annual Meeting.
−Removed: we invested in an in-vivo (in human) study to compare the effects of IHEEZO with povidone-iodine (PVI) compared to a low-viscosity tetracaine
−Removed: ophthalmic solution with PVI.
−Removed: The primary intent of the study is to show that IHEEZO does not act as a “barrier” to PVI,
−Removed: which had otherwise been shown with other ocular anesthetic gels.
−Removed: Findings from the study are positive and showed that IHEEZO demonstrated
−Removed: a similar barrier risk to tetracaine (e.g., a non-gel anesthetic).

−Removed: on a monthly basis, at which point there is no future performance obligation required and no consequential continuing involvement on
−Removed: our part to recognize the associated revenue.
+Added: Operating Activities
+Added: Net cash used in operating activities
+Added: was $(22,202,000) in 2024, compared to cash provided by of $3,840,000 in the prior year.
+Added: The decrease in net cash provided by operating
+Added: activities between the periods was mainly attributed to changes in our working capital balances including accounts payable, prepaid expenses,
+Added: inventories and most notably, accounts receivable.
+Added: Our accounts receivable balance between periods increased significantly due to an
+Added: increase in our branded product sales, which have a longer revenue cycle compared to our ImprimisRx product sales.
+Added: In addition, during
+Added: 2024, we extended additional terms to our largest distributor to allow for downstream and end users (e.g.
+Added: hospitals, clinics and ambulatory
+Added: surgery centers) of certain of our branded products additional time to pay for our branded products.
+Added: Investing Activities
+Added: Net cash used in investing activities
+Added: in 2024 and 2023 was $33,164,000 and $152,553,000, respectively.
+Added: Cash used in investing activities in 2024 was primarily due to the milestone
+Added: payment of $37,000,000 related to TRIESENCE offset by cash received from the sale of our investment in Eton for $5,510,000.
+Added: in investing activities in 2023 was primarily associated with the product acquisitions.
+Added: Financing Activities
+Added: Net cash provided by financing
+Added: activities in 2024 and 2023 was $28,528,000 and $126,528,000, respectively.
+Added: Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended
+Added: December 31, 2024 was primarily due to additional borrowings under our long-term debt facility with Oaktree of $29,780,000, net of issuance
+Added: costs, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by the payment of taxes associated with the vesting and exercise of share-based
+Added: Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily related to proceeds received from
+Added: the issuance of the Oaktree Loan and Oaktree Amendment, issuance of unsecured debt and sale of our equity, offset by payment of payroll
+Added: taxes upon vesting of PSUs in exchange for shares withheld from employees.
+Added: Sources of Capital
+Added: During the year ended December
+Added: 31, 2024, our principal sources of cash came from proceeds from the Oaktree Amendment.
+Added: In future periods, including the year ending December
+Added: 31, 2025, we expect cash to be provided from our operating activities, but our forecasts may not be accurate and our plans may change.
+Added: We may also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries
+Added: In January 2026 the Oaktree
+Added: Loan matures which totals $107,500,000 principal amount outstanding at December 31, 2024.
+Added: The maturity of this debt obligation could
+Added: raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: We are currently in discussions with our current senior
+Added: secured lender, Oaktree, and other potential lenders about refinancing the Oaktree Loan.
+Added: Management expects to move into more
+Added: definitive discussions and negotiations with Oaktree and potential lenders in the summer and fall of 2025.
+Added: Management believes it is
+Added: probable that we will be able to refinance its Oaktree Loan based on our collateral strength and expected cash flows from operations;
+Added: however, there can be no assurance that we will obtain the refinancing
+Added: on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
+Added: If we are unable to successfully refinance the Oaktree Loan, we do not expect to have the
+Added: ability to repay the Oaktree Loan in full.
+Added: We believe that one of the other alternatives available to us is the sale of one or more
+Added: of our assets.
+Added: There can be no assurance that any sale could be completed on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us.
+Added: We may acquire new products,
+Added: product candidates and/or businesses and, as a result, we may need significant additional capital to support our business plan and fund
+Added: our proposed business operations.
+Added: We may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants that are currently
+Added: We may also seek additional financing from a variety of sources, including other equity or debt financings, funding from
+Added: corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements, sales of assets or any other financing transaction.
+Added: If we issue equity or convertible
+Added: debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity
+Added: or debt securities may have more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders.
+Added: If we raise additional funds through collaboration or licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially
+Added: valuable rights to our product candidates or proprietary technologies or formulations, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable
+Added: If we raise funds by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative
+Added: to our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase.
+Added: Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would increase
+Added: our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as the financial and operating covenants.
+Added: Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees,
+Added: legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs.
+Added: We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses
+Added: in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial
+Added: We may be unable to obtain financing
+Added: when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions, conditions in the pharmaceuticals and
+Added: pharmacy industries, or our operating history.
+Added: In addition, the fact that we have a limited history of profitability could further impact
+Added: the availability or cost to us of future financings.
+Added: As a result, sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source or,
+Added: if available, such funds may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us.
+Added: If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital
+Added: needs when needed, then we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be
+Added: able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending
+Added: to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments
+Added: in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations
+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
+Added: We rely on the use of estimates
+Added: and make assumptions that impact our financial condition and results.
+Added: These estimates and assumptions are based on historical results
+Added: and trends as well as our forecasts of how results and trends might change in the future.
+Added: Although we believe that the estimates we use
+Added: are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
+Added: We believe that the accounting
+Added: policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they involve
+Added: the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: An accounting policy
+Added: is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain
+Added: at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely
+Added: to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
+Added: for contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers .
+Added: We have three primary streams
+Added: (1) product revenues, including revenue recognized from sales of products through its pharmacy and outsourcing facility and
+Added: sales of branded products to wholesalers through a third-party logistics (“3PL”) partner, (2) revenue recognized from transfer
+Added: of acquired product sales and profits, and (3) revenue recognized from intellectual property licenses.
+Added: Product Revenues
+Added: prescription medications directly through our pharmacy, outsourcing facility and 3PL partner.
+Added: Revenue from our pharmacy services includes:
+Added: (i) the portion of the price the client pays directly to us, net of any volume-related or other discounts paid back to the client, (ii)
+Added: the price paid to us by individuals, and (iii) customer copayments made directly to the pharmacy network.
+Added: Sales taxes are not included
+Added: Following the core principles of ASC 606, we have identified the following:
+Added: Identify the contract(s) with a customer:
+Added: A contract is deemed
+Added: to exist when the customer places an order through receipt of a prescription, via an online order or via receipt of a purchase order
+Added: from a customer.
+Added: For branded products, orders are received through our 3PL partner, and the customer takes title of the products via
+Added: formal purchase orders placed and fulfilled.
+Added: Identify the performance obligations in the contract:
+Added: for fulfillment of our contracts consist of delivering the product to customers at their specified destination.
+Added: For shipping and
+Added: handling activities under ASC 606, if the customer takes control of the goods after shipment, shipping and handling activities would
+Added: always be considered a fulfillment activity and not treated as a separate performance obligation.
+Added: If the customer takes control of
+Added: the goods before shipment, entities must make an accounting policy election to treat shipping and handling activities as either a
+Added: fulfillment cost or as a separate performance obligation.
+Added: We have elected to treat its shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment
+Added: Determine the transaction price:
+Added: The transaction price is based
+Added: on an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled, net of accruals for estimated rebates, wholesaler
+Added: chargebacks, discounts, copay assistance and other deductions (collectively, sales deductions) and an estimate for returns and replacements
+Added: established at the time of sale.
+Added: We utilize the services of a third-party professional services firm to estimate rebates and chargebacks
+Added: associated with sales of our branded products.
+Added: The transfer of promised goods is satisfied within a year, and therefore there are
+Added: no significant financing components.
+Added: There is no non-cash consideration related to product sales.
+Added: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in
+Added: the contract:
+Added: Because there is only one performance obligation for product sales, no allocation is necessary.
+Added: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance
+Added: Revenue from products is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer.
+Added: This generally occurs upon
+Added: shipment unless contractual terms with a customer state that transfer of control occurs at delivery.
+Added: Variable Consideration
+Added: Sales of branded pharmaceutical
+Added: products are subject to variable consideration due to chargebacks, government rebates, returns, administrative and other rebates, and
+Added: cash discounts.
+Added: Estimates for these elements of variable consideration require significant judgment.
+Added: Chargebacks, primarily from distributors
+Added: and wholesalers, result from arrangements with indirect customers establishing prices for products which the indirect customer purchases
+Added: through a wholesaler.
+Added: Alternatively, we may pre-authorize wholesalers to offer specified contract pricing to other indirect customers.
+Added: Under either arrangement, we provide a chargeback credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect
+Added: customer and the wholesaler’s invoice price, typically Wholesale Acquisition Cost (“WAC”).
+Added: Prior period chargebacks
+Added: claimed by wholesalers are analyzed to determine the actual net price per package (“NPP”) for each product.
+Added: This calculation
+Added: is performed by product by wholesaler.
+Added: NPPs can be affected by several factors such as:
+Added: in customer mix
+Added: in negotiated terms with customers
+Added: in the volume of off-contract purchases
+Added: As necessary, NPPs are adjusted
+Added: based on anticipated changes in the factors above.
+Added: The difference between NPP and
+Added: WAC is recorded as a reduction in both gross revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and accounts receivable in the consolidated
+Added: balance sheets, at the time revenue is recognized from the product sale.
+Added: We continually monitor chargeback activity and adjust NPPs
+Added: when we believe that actual selling prices will differ from current NPPs.
+Added: Government Rebates
+Added: Government rebates reserve consists
+Added: of estimated payments due to governmental agencies for utilization of our products by beneficiaries under such governmental programs.
+Added: The two largest government programs are Medicaid and Medicare.
+Added: We participate in the Medicaid
+Added: Drug Rebate Program and pay rebates to the states related on Medicaid beneficiary utilization of our products.
+Added: Medicaid rebates
+Added: are billed within 60-90 days of the end of the quarter in which the product was dispensed to a Medicaid beneficiary.
+Added: Medicaid rebate
+Added: amounts per product unit are established by law, based on the Average Manufacturer Price (“AMP”), which is reported on a
+Added: monthly and quarterly basis, and, in the case of branded products, best price, which is reported on a quarterly basis.
+Added: Medicaid reserves
+Added: are based on expected claims from state Medicaid programs.
+Added: Estimates for expected claims are driven by patient usage, sales mix, calculated
+Added: AMP or best price, as well as inventory in the distribution channel that will be subject to a Medicaid rebate.
+Added: As a result of the delay
+Added: between selling the products, dispensing the products and rebate billing, the Medicaid rebate reserve includes both an estimate of outstanding
+Added: claims for end-customer sales that have occurred but for which the related claim has not been billed, as well as an estimate for future
+Added: claims that will be made when inventory in the distribution channel is sold through to plan participants.
+Added: Many of the Company’s
+Added: branded products are also covered under Medicare.
+Added: We participate in the Coverage Gap Discount Program in order for its branded products
+Added: to be covered by Medicare Part D and must provide a rebate for any products sold under NDAs dispensed to Medicare Part D beneficiaries
+Added: while the beneficiaries are in the Coverage Gap phase of the benefit.
+Added: This applies to all products sold under NDAs.
+Added: Estimates for these
+Added: discounts are based on historical experience with Medicare rebates for products.
+Added: Medicare rebates are billed quarterly for drugs dispensed
+Added: to Medicare beneficiaries in the prior quarter, which is typically 120 days after the product is shipped.
+Added: As a result of the delay between
+Added: selling the products, dispensing the products and rebate billing, Medicare rebate reserve includes both an estimate of outstanding claims
+Added: for end-customer sales that have occurred but for which the related claim has not been billed, as well as an estimate for future claims
+Added: that will be made when inventory in the distribution channel is sold through to Medicare Part D participants.
+Added: To evaluate the adequacy of the
+Added: government rebate reserves, reserves are reviewed on a quarterly basis against actual claims data to ensure the liability is fairly stated.
+Added: We continually monitor the government rebate reserve and adjust estimates if it is expected that actual government rebates may differ
+Added: from established accruals.
+Added: Accruals for government rebates are recorded as a reduction to gross revenues in the consolidated statements
+Added: of operations and as an increase to accrued government rebates in the consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: A returns policy is in place
+Added: that allows customers to return product within a specified period prior to and after the expiration date.
+Added: Generally, product may be returned
+Added: for a period beginning six months prior to its expiration date to up to one year after its expiration date.
+Added: returns are settled through the issuance of a credit to the customer.
+Added: The estimate for returns is based upon historical experience with
+Added: actual returns.
+Added: While such experience has allowed for reasonable estimation in the past, history may not always be an accurate indicator
+Added: of future returns.
+Added: We continually monitor estimates for returns and adjust when it is expected that actual product returns may differ
+Added: from the established accruals.
+Added: Accruals for returns are recorded as a reduction to gross revenues in the consolidated statements of operations
+Added: and as an increase to the return goods reserve in the consolidated balance sheets.
+Added: Administrative Fees and Other Rebates
+Added: Administrative fees or rebates
+Added: are offered to wholesalers, group purchasing organizations, and indirect customers.
+Added: Fees and rebates are accrued, by product by wholesaler,
+Added: at the time of sale based on contracted rates and NPPs.
+Added: To evaluate the adequacy of the administrative fee accruals, on-hand inventory
+Added: counts are obtained from the wholesalers.
+Added: We continually monitor administrative fee activity and adjust accruals when it is expected
+Added: that actual administrative fees may differ from the accruals.
+Added: Accruals for administrative fees and other rebates are recorded as a reduction
+Added: in both gross revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and accounts receivable or accrued expenses in the consolidated balance
+Added: who meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance funded by us.
+Added: We record contra-revenue for co-payment assistance
+Added: based on actual program participation and estimates of program redemption using data provided by third-party administrators.
+Added: liability is recorded on unredeemed co-payment assistance related to products for which control has been transferred to the customer.
+Added: Prompt Payment Discounts
+Added: discounts may be granted to customers for prompt payment.
+Added: The reserve for prompt payment discounts is based on invoices outstanding.
+Added: Based on past experience, it is assumed that all available discounts will be taken.
+Added: Accruals for prompt payment discounts are recorded
+Added: as a reduction in both gross revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and accounts receivable in the consolidated balance
+Added: Revenues From Transfer of Acquired Product Sales and Profits
+Added: into agreements whereby we purchased the exclusive commercial rights to assets associated with certain ophthalmic products from other
+Added: pharmaceutical companies (the “Sellers”).
+Added: During a temporary, transition period, the Sellers continue to manufacture and
+Added: market these products and transfer the net profit from the sale of the products to us.
+Added: The revenue we recognized from the transfer of
+Added: net profit was recognized at the time profit from the product sales were calculated by the Sellers and confirmed by us, typically on
+Added: a monthly basis, at which point there is no future performance obligation required and no consequential continuing involvement on our
+Added: part to recognize the associated revenue.
On a quarterly basis, the Sellers invoiced us for all credits and reimbursements (“Chargebacks”)

−Removed: goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process as follows:
−Removed: We compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the existing goodwill.
−Removed: The fair value of each reporting
−Removed: unit is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation analysis.
−Removed: The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined by specifically
−Removed: identifying and allocating the assets and liabilities to each reporting unit based on headcount, relative revenues or other methods as
−Removed: deemed appropriate by management.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired,
−Removed: and we then perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the impairment loss.
−Removed: If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds
−Removed: its carrying amount, no further analysis is required.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the
−Removed: excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

+Added: Once the patents have been issued, we amortize these costs over the shorter of the legal life of the patent or its estimated economic
+Added: life, generally 20 years, using the straight-line method.
+Added: Acquired product rights, including NDAs, are amortized over their estimated
+Added: useful lives, generally 4-15 years, based on a straight-line method.
+Added: Trademarks are an indefinite-lived intangible asset and are assessed
+Added: for impairment based on future projected cash flows as further described below.
+Added: We review our goodwill and indefinite-lived
+Added: intangible assets for impairment as of January 1 of each year and when an event or a change in circumstances indicates the fair value
+Added: of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount.
+Added: Events or changes in circumstances considered as impairment indicators include
+Added: but are not limited to the following:
+Added: significant underperformance of our business relative to expected operating
+Added: significant adverse economic and industry trends;
+Added: significant decline in our market capitalization for an extended period
+Added: of time relative to net book value;
+Added: expectations that a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.
+Added: The goodwill impairment test
+Added: consists of a two-step process as follows:
+Added: We compare the fair value of each
+Added: reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the existing goodwill.
+Added: The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted
+Added: cash flow valuation analysis.
+Added: The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined by specifically identifying and allocating the
+Added: assets and liabilities to each reporting unit based on headcount, relative revenues or other methods as deemed appropriate by management.
+Added: If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired, and we then perform the second step
+Added: of the impairment test to measure the impairment loss.
+Added: If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further
+Added: analysis is required.
+Added: If the carrying amount of the reporting
+Added: unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill
+Added: allocated to that reporting unit.
+Added: As a result of our assessments
+Added: in 2024 and 2023, we concluded that goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
