Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal General and Other In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, government investigations and other matters that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. The Company describes legal proceedings and other matters that are/were significant or that it believes could become significant in this footnote. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that it concludes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of a liability that has been accrued previously. The Company’s legal proceedings involve various aspects of its business and a variety of claims, some of which present novel factual allegations and/or unique legal theories. Typically, a number of the matters pending against the Company are at early stages of the legal process, which in complex proceedings of the sort the Company faces often extend for several years. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of matters that have not concluded, an adverse determination in one or more of the matters (whether discussed in this footnote or not) currently pending may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Legal costs incurred for loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Ocular Science, Inc. et. al In July 2021, ImprimisRx, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit against Ocular Science, Inc. and OSRX, Inc. (together, “OSRX”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, asserting claims for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising (Lanham Act). Since July 2021, the complaint had been amended and OSRX added counterclaims alleging ImprimisRx, LLC was violating the Lanham Act with false advertising. The Court granted cross motions for summary judgement on each party’s Lanham Act claims thus leaving only ImprimisRx, LLC’s copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition claims for trial. Following a jury trial in November 2024, a jury found OSRX acted with malice, fraud, or oppression, willfully engaging in trademark infringement and unfair competition under California and federal law and ImprimisRx, LLC received a $34,900,000 jury verdict award, which includes $20,400,000 in punitive damages and $14,500,000 in actual damages. Due to uncertainty regarding probability of collection, the Company has not recognized any gains associated with the verdict award in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Product and Professional Liability Product and professional liability litigation represents an inherent risk to all firms in the pharmaceutical and pharmacy industry. We utilize traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to our product and professional liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects current market conditions, including cost and availability, when the policy is written. Indemnities In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s charter documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements with each of the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. Several of the Company’s asset purchase and license agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants and confidentiality provisions, and also contain mutual indemnification obligations related primarily to performance under the respective agreements. The Company also indemnifies its lessors in connection with its facility leases for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Asset Purchase, License and Related Agreements FDA Approved Product Acquisitions In recent years, the Company has acquired commercial and product rights to various FDA approved ophthalmic medications and products through asset purchase, licenses, supply and/or other related agreements. In general, in exchange for product and commercial rights these agreements provide the counterparties with certain upfront and contingent milestone payments typically related to certain annual sales amounts and manufacturing events, and in certain cases, per unit transfer prices and royalties on sales of some of the products. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $2,173,000 and $274,000 were incurred under these agreements as royalty expenses, respectively. The Company incurred $0 and $0 related to upfront and milestone payments under these agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining contingent consideration payable pursuant to these agreements were not considered probable and reasonably estimable and therefore, no amount was accrued related to these contingent obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. At the time contingent consideration payable becomes probable and reasonably estimable, the additional consideration, if any, paid will be allocated to the assets based on their initial estimated fair values as a percent of total purchase price. Formulation Acquisitions The Company has acquired and sourced intellectual property rights related to certain proprietary innovations from certain inventors, innovator companies and related parties (the “Inventors”) through multiple asset purchase agreements and license agreements. In general, these agreements provide that the Inventors will cooperate with the Company in obtaining patent protection for the acquired intellectual property and that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize a product based on the acquired intellectual property. In addition, the Company has acquired a right of first refusal on additional intellectual property and drug development opportunities presented by these Inventors. In consideration for the acquisition of these intellectual property rights, the Company is obligated to make payments to the Inventors based on the completion of certain milestones, generally consisting of: (1) a payment payable within 30 to 45 days after the issuance of the first patent in the United States arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (2) a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (3) for certain of the Inventors, a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first new drug application with the FDA for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); and (4) certain royalty payments based on the net receipts received by the Company in connection with the sale or licensing of any product based on the acquired intellectual property (if any), after deducting (among other things) the Company’s development costs associated with such product. If, following five years after the date of the applicable asset purchase agreement, the Company either (a) for certain of the Inventors, has not filed an IND or, for the remaining Inventors, has not initiated a study where data is derived, or (b) has failed to generate royalty payments to the Inventors for any product based on the acquired intellectual property, the Inventors may terminate the applicable asset purchase agreement and request that the Company re-assign the acquired technology to the Inventors. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $277,000 and $180,000 were incurred under these agreements as royalty expenses, respectively. Contract Manufacturing The Company had entered into manufacturing agreements with respect to third-party contract manufacturers for its FDA approved pharmaceutical products. Some of these contract manufacturing agreements require minimum annual order amounts. The Company has committed to pay approximately $8,527,000 related to contract manufacturing agreements for the year ending December 31, 2025.
