Collaborative and Licensing Arrangements.

Endo, Inc.

In December 2018, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (Collaboration) with Endo, Inc. (formerly, Endo International plc) (Endo), for the further development and commercialization of generic Sabril® (vigabatrin) tablets through Endo’s U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals segment, doing business as Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Par). Under the Collaboration, Endo assumed all development, manufacturing, clinical, regulatory, sales and marketing costs under the collaboration, while the Company was responsible for exercising commercially reasonable efforts to develop, or cause the development of, a final finished, stable dosage form of generic Sabril® tablets.

In July 2024, a termination and mutual release agreement was finalized between Endo and the Company that discontinued work on the collaboration for development and commercialization of vigabatrin. The end of the collaboration did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

KYE Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In August 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with KYE, for the commercialization of FIRDAPSE® in Canada.

Under the agreement, Catalyst granted KYE an exclusive license to commercialize and market FIRDAPSE® in Canada. KYE assumes all selling and marketing costs under the collaboration, while the Company is responsible for supply of FIRDAPSE® based on the collaboration partner’s purchase orders.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received an up-front payment, has received payment upon transfer of Marketing Authorization and delivery of commercial product, received payment for supply of FIRDAPSE®, and will receive milestone payments and a sharing of defined net profits upon commercialization from KYE consisting of a mid-double-digit percent of net sales of FIRDAPSE®. The Company has also agreed to the sharing of certain development expenses. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the collaboration continues in effect until the date that is ten years following the commercial launch of the product in Canada.

The collaborative agreement included a nonrefundable upfront license fee that was recognized upon transfer of the license based on a determination that the right is provided as the intellectual property existed at the point in time in which the license was granted.

In July 2024, the Company entered into a license, supply and commercialization agreement with KYE, for the commercialization of AGAMREE® in Canada granting KYE the exclusive Canadian commercial rights to market AGAMREE® in Canada for DMD and other indications.

Collaborative and Licensing Arrangements (continued).

Under the agreement, KYE will be responsible for obtaining regulatory approval of the product from Health Canada and the Company will supply product to KYE. Further, the Company received an upfront payment from KYE and will be eligible to receive further reimbursement, sales milestones and sales royalties for AGAMREE®. See Note 17 (Subsequent Events).

These agreements are in form identified as collaborative agreements and the Company has concluded for accounting purposes that they also represent contracts with a customer. This is because the Company grants to KYE a license and provides supply of FIRDAPSE® and AGAMREE® in exchange for consideration, which are outputs of the Company’s ongoing activities. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that these collaborative arrangements will be accounted for pursuant to Topic 606.

Revenue from sales by KYE are recognized in the quarter in which the sales occurred.

Revenues from the arrangements with KYE for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material. Revenue is included in license and other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Expenses incurred, net have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

DyDo Pharma, Inc.

On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement with DyDo Pharma, Inc. (DyDo), for the development and commercialization of FIRDAPSE® in Japan.

Under the agreement, DyDo has joint rights to develop FIRDAPSE®, and exclusive rights to commercialize the product, in Japan. DyDo is responsible for funding all clinical, regulatory, marketing and commercialization activities in Japan, while the Company is responsible for clinical and commercial supply based on purchase orders, as well as providing support to DyDo in its efforts to obtain regulatory approval for the product from the Japanese regulatory authorities.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has earned an up-front payment and certain regulatory milestones and may earn sales-based milestones for FIRDAPSE®, as well as revenue on product supplied to DyDo.

The Company has concluded that this license agreement will be accounted for pursuant to Topic 606. The agreement included a nonrefundable upfront license fee that was recognized upon the effective date of the agreement as the intellectual property existed at the point in time in which the right to the license was granted. The Company determined the granting of the right to the license is distinct from the supply of FIRDAPSE® and represents a separate performance obligation in the agreement.

The agreement includes milestones that are considered a sales-based royalty in which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which these milestones relate. Revenue will be recognized when the latter of (a) the subsequent sale occurs, or (b) the performance obligation to which the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied. Additionally, the agreement includes regulatory milestone payments which represent variable consideration, and due to uncertainty are fully constrained and only recognized when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. For clinical and commercial supply of the product, the Company will recognize revenue when the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which will occur at a point in time which is generally at time of shipment.

On September 24, 2024, DyDo advised the Company that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) had approved DyDo's Japan NDA to commercialize FIRDAPSE® for the treatment of patients with LEMS and on January 21, 2025, DyDo launched FIRDAPSE® in Japan.

There was $1.1 million and $0 in revenue from the arrangement with DyDo for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in product revenue, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
