Niagen Bioscience, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business
Niagen Bioscience, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., ChromaDex Analytics, Inc., NAD Pharmaceuticals Corp., ChromaDex International, Inc., ChromaDex Asia Limited, Asia Pacific Scientific, Inc., ChromaDex Asia Pacific Ventures Limited, ChromaDex Europa B.V., and ChromaDex Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (collectively, “Niagen Bioscience” or the “Company”) are a global bioscience company dedicated to healthy aging. The Niagen Bioscience team is engaged in research on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential coenzyme that is a key regulator of cellular metabolism and is found in every cell of the human body. NAD+ levels in humans have been shown to decline with age, among other factors, and may be increased through administration of NAD+ precursors.
Niagen Bioscience is the innovator behind the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside chloride (“NRC” or “NRCL,” commonly referred to as “NR”), commercialized as the flagship ingredient Niagen®, available in both food and pharmaceutical grades. Nicotinamide riboside chloride and other NAD+ precursors are protected by Niagen Bioscience’s patent and/or licensed rights portfolio. The Company delivers food-grade Niagen® as the sole or principal dietary ingredient in its dietary supplement consumer product line, Tru Niagen®, and has expanded its consumer product offerings to include a topical skincare product incorporating Niagen® as the principal ingredient. Furthermore, the Company develops and commercializes proprietary ingredient technologies, including food-grade Niagen® and pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®, supplies these ingredients as raw materials to manufacturers of consumer products and U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, respectively, and supports clinician-directed telehealth access to prescription-based Niagen® offerings.
In addition, the Company is developing certain molecules for potential therapeutic applications, including rare genetic diseases and aging related disorders. These activities include research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical studies and regulatory planning, and the Company does not currently generate revenue from these activities. The Company may continue internal development and may also pursue strategic collaborations or licensing arrangements.
Prior to February 24, 2026, the Company also provided natural product fine chemicals, known as phytochemicals, and related research and development services through its analytical reference standards and services operating segment. This operating segment was sold as of such date. Certain assets associated with this segment were classified and presented as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025. The results of operations of this segment are included in continuing operations for all periods presented, as the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results and, therefore, did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations treatment. Refer to Note 4, Business Segments and Concentrations , for further information.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026.
Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the consolidated financial position of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from these financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies: There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. The update provides a practical expedient to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Accounting Standards Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted by the Company:
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose additional information about certain expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion, in both interim and annual financial statements. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which amends the guidance in ASC 350-40. The amendment modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and requiring capitalization of software costs once a project is authorized, funded, and deemed probable to complete, with an added focus on evaluating any significant development uncertainty. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,” which clarifies the applicability and improves the navigability of the interim reporting guidance. The amendments also provide additional guidance on required interim disclosures, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities, and early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements,” to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Note 4. Business Segments and Concentrations
For the periods presented, the Company’s four reportable segments are as follows:
• Consumer Products segment: provides finished consumer products incorporating the Company's proprietary ingredient, Niagen®, primarily dietary supplements, directly to consumers and distributors;
• Ingredients segment : develops and commercializes proprietary ingredient technologies, including food-grade Niagen® and pharmaceutical-grade Niagen®, and supplies these ingredients as raw materials to the manufacturers of consumer products and U.S. FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, respectively, and supports clinician-directed telehealth access to prescription-based Niagen® offerings;
• Analytical Reference Standards and Services segment: offers the supply of phytochemical reference standards and other research and development services; and
• Pharmaceuticals segment: pursues the pharmaceutical development of our proprietary molecules for potential therapeutic applications in rare diseases, and currently conducts research and development activities, including pre-clinical and clinical studies and regulatory planning.

Table of Contents
Niagen Bioscience, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s reportable segments are significant operating segments that offer differentiated products and services. This segment structure reflects the Company’s current operational and financial management and provides the framework used by management to evaluate performance, allocate resources, and support the Company’s strategic objectives while maintaining financial discipline.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is a management group comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The CODM reviews monthly and quarterly financial information for each operating segment, including net sales, gross profit (loss), operating income (loss), and spending by segment, to evaluate operating performance and allocate resources. The CODM does not review assets by operating segment in evaluating performance, and therefore assets by segment are not disclosed. There are no intersegment sales that require elimination. The “Corporate and other” classification includes corporate items that are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments.
Divestiture of Analytical Reference Standards and Services Segment
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company committed to a plan to sell substantially all of the assets of its analytical reference standards and services operating segment to a third party. As of December 31, 2025, the assets associated with this operating segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and are presented as assets held for sale in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Prior to classification as held for sale, the Company evaluated the long-lived assets of the Analytical Reference Standards and Services operating segment for impairment and recorded any necessary adjustments to reflect the assets at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets ceased upon classification as held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $ 403,000 of inventory, certain long-lived assets of $ 138,000 , customer relationships, contract-related assets, and a trade name.
On February 24, 2026, the Company entered into and completed a definitive asset purchase agreement with a third party for total cash consideration of approximately $ 6.0 million, subject to working capital adjustments of approximately $ 0.2 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the buyer assumed certain operating liabilities arising after the closing date, while the Company retained accounts receivable and accounts payable incurred prior to the closing date related to the sold assets. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a gain of $ 4.8 million on the sale of these assets, net of transaction costs of approximately $ 0.5 million, primarily consisting of legal, consulting, and other professional fees and sales taxes, which is included in gain on sale of operating segment in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The results of operations of the Analytical Reference Standards and Services operating segment are included in continuing operations for all periods presented, as the divestiture does not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results and therefore does not qualify for discontinued operations treatment.
In connection with the disposition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (TSA) pursuant to which it provides certain operational and administrative services to the buyer for a period of up to six months following the closing date. The Company receives a service fee for these services, which is recognized as the services are performed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $ 236,000 and $ 310,000 of transition services revenue, respectively, which are included in net sales. The related net sales and costs of sales are reflected within “Corporate and other” for segment reporting purposes, as they represent corporate activities not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments. As of June 30, 2026, amounts due to and from the buyer totaled approximately $ 288,000 and $ 285,000 , respectively, and are included within accounts payable and trade receivables in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These balances primarily relate to transition services provided under the TSA. The Company has not separately presented these amounts as they are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure of Major Customers
Major customers are defined as customers whose sales or trade receivables individually consist of more than ten percent of total sales or total trade receivables, respectively. Percentage of net sales from major customers of the Company’s consumer products segment and ingredients segment for the periods indicated were as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
Major Customers 2026 2025 2026 2025
Customer A * 10.2 % * 12.7 %
* Represents less than 10%

The percentage of the amounts due from major customers to total trade receivables, net for the periods indicated were as follows:
Percentage of the Company's Total Trade Receivables
Major Customers At June 30, 2026 At December 31, 2025
Customer A 11.1 % *
Customer B * 23.0 %
Customer C 26.1 % 11.0 %
* Represents less than 10%
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total outstanding trade receivables of $ 8.6 million, with approximately 37.2 % of this total concentrated among two customers. Whenever a significant concentration is present it poses a potential risk to the Company's financial performance and cash flows, as any adverse changes in the payment behavior or financial health of these major customers could impact the Company's cash flows and financial results.
The Company has determined that the current concentration is primarily due to the timing of purchases, and the Company does not consider the concentration of its trade receivables to be a significant risk. Nevertheless, to ensure prudence and safeguard against potential challenges arising from this concentration, the Company remains vigilant in monitoring the creditworthiness and payment behavior of these major customers. Furthermore, the Company continues to pursue new partnerships and business opportunities which help to diversify its customer base and minimize the risk of an overreliance on any particular trade receivable. Despite the Company’s risk mitigation efforts, there is no assurance that the Company will not experience delays or defaults in payment from its customers, which could result in an increase in the Company's bad debt expense, a reduction in cash flows, and a negative impact on its financial performance.
Note 5. Inventories
The Company's major classes of inventory and corresponding balances as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

As of December 31, 2025, $ 403,000 of inventory related to the analytical reference standards and services operating segment was classified as held for sale. During the first quarter of 2026, this inventory was sold as part of the divestiture of the segment and no such inventory remains.

Note 6. Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), which requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset on the balance sheet. The Company leases office space facilities and a research and development laboratory under non-cancelable operating leases, with varying expirations extending through fiscal year 2035. The lease agreements provide for renewal options and rent escalation over the lease terms, as well as require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance and property taxes. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
In June 2026, the Company entered into a new office lease for 10,564 rentable square feet in Los Angeles, California. The lease has a contractual term of approximately 8 years and is scheduled to commence on April 1, 2027. The Company may receive limited early access to the premises prior to the commencement date for move-in and related activities. Because the lease had not commenced and the Company did not have the right to access or use the premises as of June 30, 2026, no right-of-use asset or lease liability has been recognized under ASC 842.
Operating Leases
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had ROU assets of $ 1.8 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively, and corresponding operating lease liabilities of $ 2.3 million and $ 2.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the components of operating lease expense are as follows:

Note 7. Share-Based Compensation
Equity Plans
The Company grants awards to recipients through the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”), which was approved by stockholders and the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the latest amendment, the 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of shares that total no more than the sum of (i) 22,900,000 new shares, (ii) any returning shares such as forfeited, cancelled, or expired shares granted under either the 2017 Plan or the Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iii) 500,000 shares pursuant to an inducement award. The number of shares available to be issued under the 2017 Plan will be reduced by (i) one share for each share that relates to an option or stock appreciation right award, and (ii) 1.5 shares for each share that relates to an award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right award (a full-value award). As of June 30, 2026, there were approximately 5.4 million remaining shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. Options expire 10 years from the date of grant.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to recognize the value of stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards that are not market based. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of stock option awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility and expected option life. The fair-value of the restricted stock unit awards at the grant date is based on the market price on the grant date. The fair-value of the market performance stock unit awards (PSUs) at the grant date is based on a Monte Carlo simulation using the specific performance metrics. The Company develops estimates based on historical data and market information, which can change significantly over time, and adjusts for forfeitures as they occur.
General Vesting Conditions
Historically, the Company’s stock option awards have been generally subject to a one-year cliff vesting period, after which one-third of the shares vest with the remaining shares vesting ratably each month over a two-year period subject to the applicable grantee’s continued service. Beginning August 1, 2025, newly granted stock option awards generally vest over four years at 25 % per year on the anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit (RSU) awards are generally subject to a three-year vesting period with one-third vesting per year on the anniversary of the grant date. The PSUs are eligible to vest during a seven-year performance period based on the achievement and maintenance of certain volume weighted average price thresholds for a minimum of 60 Trading Days and upon certification by the Board’s Compensation Committee and subject to the Chief Executive Officer’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date. Certain executive stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control or termination without cause.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On June 24, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the Niagen Bioscience, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), pursuant to which 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance. The ESPP allows eligible officers and employees to purchase designated shares of the Company’s stock through payroll deductions, up to 10 % of their base salary or wages. The price of common stock purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85 % of the lesser of (i) the closing price of a share of common stock on the purchase date, or (ii) the closing price of a share of common stock on the offering date. Offering periods under the ESPP will generally be in six month increments, commencing on January 1 and July 1 of each calendar year, with the administrator having the right to establish different offering periods. The Company commenced its first offering period on January 1, 2026 with the first purchase occurring June 30, 2026. On June 30, 2026, 26,000 shares were purchased under the ESPP at $ 2.71 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $ 0.1 million. As of June 30, 2026, 624,000 shares remained available for issuance.
Share Repurchase Program
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1,173,118 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 5.1 million, which was recorded as a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $ 14.6 million remains available under the approved share repurchase program.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
The Company has an exclusive manufacturing arrangement for the supply of Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NRCL) with W.R. Grace & Co. -Conn. (Grace). On July 25, 2025, the Company executed a Sales Agreement (the “Grace Supply Agreement”) with Grace with an effective date of April 1, 2025. Grace holds patents related to the crystalline form of NR chloride that provide Grace with exclusive manufacturing rights for certain forms of NRCL.
Pursuant to the Grace Supply Agreement, Grace supplies the Company with NRCL meeting specified quality and technical requirements as defined in a previously executed quality agreement dated March 22, 2024. In addition, Grace is prohibited from selling NRCL to third parties and must notify the Company of any new business inquiries relating to the purchase of NRCL. The Company is contractually obligated to purchase minimum quantities of NRCL during each year of the agreement term.
The Grace Supply Agreement provides for an initial term through April 30, 2029, and will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of its intent not to renew. The Company is required to purchase a minimum quantity of NRCL during each year of the term. The Company provides rolling monthly forecasts of its anticipated purchase requirements for a 24-month period, of which the first 12 months are binding upon Grace’s acceptance. As of June 30, 2026, the Company is obligated to purchase approximately $ 20.5 million of NRCL through June 30, 2027.
Deferred Consideration Obligation - Patent Assignment
In December 2025, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Queen’s University Belfast (“QUB”) pursuant to which it acquired certain patent rights and assumed fixed, unconditional payment obligations through 2038 (the “Deferred Consideration Obligation”). The obligation is recorded at present value as of the acquisition date, with subsequent accretion recognized as interest expense over the term of the arrangement.
The payment obligations consist of recurring annual payments beginning in 2026 and two fixed lump-sum payments due in 2034 and 2037. Certain payments are denominated in U.S. dollars, while others are denominated in British pound sterling and are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of the Deferred Consideration Obligation was $ 5.7 million. Refer to Note 15 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information regarding the Assignment Agreement and related payment obligations.

Legal Proceedings
1. U.S. Food and Drug Administration
On February 3, 2026, Niagen Bioscience, Inc. filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and certain federal officials in their official capacities. The lawsuit challenges the FDA response letters issued in September 2025 concerning the regulatory status of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The complaint alleges that FDA’s interpretation of the statutory provisions governing dietary supplements is contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act. The Company seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, including an order vacating the challenged portions of the FDA response letters and enjoining FDA from applying the interpretation at issue.
On April 28, 2026, the FDA filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s complaint on procedural grounds. The Company believes the government’s motion lacks merit and has opposed it. The Company’s complaint does not seek monetary damages. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter. No accrual has been recorded in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements related to this proceeding.
2. Elysium Health, Inc.
Delaware - Patent Infringement Action
On September 17, 2018, Niagen Bioscience and Trustees of Dartmouth College filed a patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Elysium Health, Inc. (Elysium). The complaint alleges that Elysium’s BASIS® dietary supplement infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 8,197,807 (‘807 Patent) and 8,383,086 (‘086 Patent) that comprise compositions containing isolated nicotinamide riboside held by Dartmouth and licensed exclusively to Niagen Bioscience. On October 23, 2018, Elysium filed an answer to the complaint. The answer asserts various affirmative defenses and denies that Plaintiffs are entitled to any relief.
On November 7, 2018, Elysium filed a motion to stay the patent infringement proceedings pending resolution of (1) the inter partes review of the ‘807 Patent and the ‘086 Patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and (2) the outcome of the litigation in the California Action. Niagen Bioscience filed an opposition brief on November 21, 2018 detailing the issues with Elysium’s motion to stay. In particular, Niagen Bioscience argued that given claim 2 of the ‘086 Patent was only included in the PTAB’s inter partes review for procedural reasons the PTAB was unlikely to invalidate claim 2 and therefore litigation in Delaware would continue regardless. In addition, Niagen Bioscience argued that the litigation in the California Action is unlikely to have a significant effect on the ongoing patent litigation. After the PTAB released its written decision upholding claim 2 of the ‘086 Patent, proving Niagen Bioscience’s prediction correct, Niagen Bioscience informed the Delaware court of the PTAB’s decision on January 17, 2019. On June 19, 2019, the Delaware court granted in part and denied in part Elysium’s motion, ordering that the case was stayed pending the resolution of Elysium’s patent misuse counterclaim in the California Action.
On November 1, 2019, Niagen Bioscience filed a motion to lift the stay due to changed circumstances in the California Action, among other reasons. Briefing on the motion was completed on November 22, 2019. On January 6, 2020, the Delaware court issued an oral order instructing the parties to submit a joint status report after the January 13, 2020 motions hearing in the California Action. The joint status report was submitted on January 30, 2020. On February 4, 2020, the Delaware court issued an order granting Niagen Bioscience’s motion to lift the stay and setting a scheduling conference for March 10, 2020. On March 19, 2020, the Delaware court entered a scheduling order, which, among other things, set the claim-construction hearing for December 17, 2020 and trial for the week of September 27, 2021. On April 17, 2020, Niagen Bioscience served infringement contentions. Elysium filed a Second Amended Answer on July 10, 2020.

The Federal Circuit heard the oral arguments on July 9, 2026, but no ruling has been made. In connection with the Court's current ruling and the Company’s filed appeal, management has assessed that it is reasonably possible a contingent liability will be incurred. If the Company is successful in its appeal, no liability would be incurred. The Company believes the Court abused its discretion in granting the award. However, if the Company is not successful, the Company may be liable for the aggregate amount sought by Elysium, which, inclusive of Niagen Bioscience’s estimates for post-judgment interest through the anticipated appeal, is approximately $ 10.4 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has not recorded an accrual for this matter, as the ultimate resolution remains uncertain.

3. Contingencies
(A) In December 2025, a retail partner in Asia initiated a recall and withdrawal from sale of certain units of the Company’s Tru Niagen® Immune Daily Defense product in Hong Kong and Singapore, asserting that the product contained more than the labeled amount of 1,000 I.U. of Vitamin D3 and therefore did not comply with applicable local regulatory requirements. In February 2026, the retail partner alleged that the Company breached certain supply agreements in connection with this matter.
In April 2026, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the retail partner to resolve the matter and support the continuation of the commercial relationship. This agreement resolves the previously disclosed contingency related to this matter. Under the terms of the arrangement, the parties agreed to resolve previously withheld receivables totaling approximately $ 1.3 million, which were fully collected by the Company during the second quarter of 2026. The arrangement also provides for the return of certain unsold inventory, the provision of replacement products to address product-related concerns, and the retail partner’s agreement not to pursue previously asserted claims related to loss of margin and goodwill.
The Company has evaluated the accounting implications of the arrangement and determined that the resolution primarily represents the collection of previously recognized accounts receivable, together with product-related remediation and customary commercial activities. Accordingly, the arrangement does not result in a reduction of previously recognized revenue. Costs associated with replacement inventory and returned goods will be recognized in the appropriate period under the Company’s accounting policies. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company received the returned inventory from the retail partner and began shipping replacement products in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
The agreement also includes a limited ongoing obligation to provide replacement products for certain future customer returns and may give rise to obligations. These potential obligations are contingent in nature and are not currently considered probable or reasonably estimable. The Company continues to believe it has complied with its contractual obligations and applicable regulatory requirements.
(B) On April 28, 2026, Thorne Research, Inc. and Thorne HealthTech, Inc. (collectively, “Thorne”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina against Niagen Bioscience, Inc., ChromaDex, Inc., and QUB (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaint seeks, among other relief, a declaratory judgment that certain Thorne products do not infringe U.S. Patent No. 12,252,506 (the “’506 Patent”), as well as damages and injunctive relief based on claims of alleged tortious interference with contract, intentional interference with prospective business relations, and unfair competition under South Carolina law.
Thorne’s complaint arises out of communications by Defendants asserting infringement of the ’506 Patent and the initiation of a patent enforcement proceeding through Amazon’s Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) program relating to certain Thorne products. Thorne alleges that its products do not infringe the ’506 Patent and that Defendants’ actions were improper and caused harm to its business relationships and sales. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the action. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter due to the early stage of the proceedings. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
On June 22, 2026, Thorne filed a petition for inter partes review (IPR2026-00400) with the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the "PTAB") challenging claims 1-12 and 21-35 of the “’506 Patent, which relates to methods of preparing nicotinamide riboside and its derivatives. The petition asserts that the challenged claims are unpatentable based on certain prior art references and contends that the challenged claims are not entitled to the July 29, 2013 priority date identified on the face of the ’506 Patent.
The petition relates to the declaratory judgment action described above. The Company intends to oppose institution of the proceeding, including by filing a discretionary denial brief and a patent owner preliminary response. As of the date of this filing, the PTAB has not determined whether to institute inter partes review. The Company intends to vigorously defend the validity of the ’506 Patent. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the proceeding or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(C) On May 28, 2026 and June 16, 2026, respectively, two putative class action complaints were filed against the Company and ChromaDex, Inc. in the United States District Courts for the Central District of California and the Southern District of California alleging, among other things, that certain advertising and marketing claims relating to Tru Niagen® were false or misleading. The complaints seek monetary and equitable relief on behalf of proposed nationwide and state classes under various consumer protection and related laws. On July 17, 2026, the Court ordered the two cases be consolidated and ordered the plaintiffs to file an amended consolidated complaint on or before August 14, 2026. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against these actions. At this early stage of both the proceedings, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these matters. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor these matters and assess the need for any accrual or additional disclosure as the litigation progresses.
Note 9. Deferred Revenue - NHSc
On October 10, 2022, the Company and Société des Produits Nestlé SA, a société anonyme organized under the laws of Switzerland (NHSc), as successor-in-interest to NESTEC Ltd., entered into an amended and restated supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”), which amends and restates the supply agreement, dated December 19, 2018, entered into by the Company and NESTEC Ltd. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, NHSc and its affiliates will exclusively purchase NRCL from the Company and NHSc and its affiliates will have the non-exclusive right to manufacture, market, distribute, and sell products using NRCL for human use in the (i) medical nutritional, (ii) functional food and beverage and (iii) multi-ingredient dietary supplements categories sold under one of the NHSc brands world-wide, but excluding certain countries and ingredient combinations. The term of the Supply Agreement is five years , unless earlier terminated, and is subject to automatic extensions provided certain minimum purchases by NHSc are met.
Under the Supply Agreement, the Company will continue to recognize the deferred revenue balance received in connection with the original NESTEC Ltd. agreement utilizing the output method. Deferred revenue will be recognized by the Company based on the percentage of NRCL kilograms delivered to-date compared to the total forecasted NRCL kilograms expected to be delivered over the duration of the contract term, including renewal options, as estimated by the Company. As a result of the updated forecast, the proportion of NRCL delivered to-date may increase or decline relative to the revised total expected output. Such changes in estimates may lead to an adjustment in the amount of deferred revenue recognized. The impact of the updated estimates on revenue recognized from deferred revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:
(In thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2026 2025 2026 2025
Revenue recognized (reversed) from deferred revenue $ 138 $ ( 95 ) $ 240 $ ( 95 )
The corresponding deferred revenue balance as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows:
(In thousands) June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025
Deferred revenue balance $ 2,434 $ 2,674
