License Agreements License Agreements
CORXEL License and Collaboration Agreement
In April 2022, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement providing an exclusive license (the “CORXEL License,” formerly referred to as the “Ji Xing License”) to certain of the Company’s intellectual property (“IP”) for use in the treatment of presbyopia in humans in mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan (collectively, “Greater China”). The Company also agreed to a separate agreement for the purchase of clinical and commercial supply of products containing the IP for clinical and commercial requirements at cost plus a negotiated percentage and granted a right of first negotiation to obtain a regional license on other products the Company might develop outside the field of presbyopia for commercialization in Greater China.
The Company received nonrefundable, non-creditable upfront payments totaling $15.0 million as initial consideration under the CORXEL License, which represents the transaction price at inception. In addition, the Company received $5.0 million upon submission of the NDA for LNZ100 to the National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) in Greater China for the treatment of presbyopia, and another $5.0 million upon FDA approval of VIZZ. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $85.0 million of additional regulatory and sales milestones, as well as tiered mid single-digit to low double-digit royalties on net sales in Greater China. Additional consideration to be paid to the Company upon reaching regulatory and sales milestones is excluded from the transaction price. Future milestone payments are fully contingent as the risk of significant revenue reversal will only be resolved depending on future regulatory approval and sales level outcomes, thus variable consideration related to the remaining milestone payments was fully constrained as of September 30, 2025. The sales-based royalty fee qualifies for the royalty constraint exception and does not require an estimate of the future transaction price. The sales-based royalty fee is considered variable consideration and will be recognized as revenue as such sales occur, if any.
The Company assessed the promises made under the CORXEL License and concluded the CORXEL License comprises a single performance obligation providing the right to use functional intellectual property. The $15.0 million transaction price allocated to that single performance obligation was recognized on completion of the transfer of the CORXEL License during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the first regulatory milestone under the CORXEL License was achieved upon submission of the NDA for LNZ100 to the NMPA, resulting in the recognition of $5.0 million in license revenue. A second regulatory milestone under the CORXEL License was achieved upon FDA approval of VIZZ, for which the Company recognized an additional $5.0 million of license revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025. No other contractual milestones were met under the CORXEL License during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.
Lotus Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. License and Commercialization Agreement
On May 7, 2025 the Company entered into a license and commercialization agreement providing an exclusive license (the “Lotus License”) to certain of the Company's IP to commercialize LNZ100 for the treatment of presbyopia in humans in the Republic of Korea, the Kingdom of Thailand, Republic of the Philippines, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Malaysia, Negara Brunei Darussalam, the Republic of Indonesia, and the Republic of Singapore (collectively, “Southeast Asia”). Under the terms of the Lotus License, the Company received a $5.0 million nonrefundable, non-creditable upfront payment, which represents the transaction price at inception, and is eligible to receive up to $120.0 million of regulatory and sales milestones, as well as tiered, double-digit royalties on future net sales in Southeast Asia. Additional consideration to be paid to the Company upon reaching regulatory and sales milestones is excluded from the transaction price. Future milestone payments are fully contingent as the risk of significant revenue reversal will only be resolved depending on future regulatory approval and sales level outcomes, thus variable consideration related to the remaining milestone payments was fully constrained as of September 30, 2025. The sales-based royalty fee qualifies for the royalty constraint
exception and does not require an estimate of the future transaction price. The sales-based royalty fee is considered variable consideration and will be recognized as revenue as such sales occur, if any.
The Company assessed the promises made under the Lotus License and concluded the Lotus License comprises a single performance obligation providing the right to use functional intellectual property. The $5.0 million transaction price allocated to that single performance obligation was recognized upon transfer of the Lotus License during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The upfront payment was subject to a withholding tax in the Republic of Singapore, which the Company recorded as income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Such withholding may be eligible to be recovered against future taxable income in the United States in the form of a foreign tax credit. No regulatory or sales milestones were met under the Lotus License during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Laboratoires Théa License and Commercialization Agreement
On July 7, 2025, the Company entered into a license and commercialization agreement providing an exclusive license (the “Théa License”) to register and commercialize LNZ100 for the treatment of presbyopia in Canada. Under the terms of the Théa License, the Company received a $2.5 million nonrefundable, non-creditable upfront payment, which represents the transaction price at inception, and is eligible to receive up to $67.5 million in regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered, double-digit royalties on future net sales in Canada. Additional consideration to be paid to the Company upon reaching regulatory and sales milestones is excluded from the transaction price. Future milestone payments are fully contingent as the risk of significant revenue reversal will only be resolved depending on future regulatory approval and sales level outcomes, thus variable consideration related to the remaining milestone payments was fully constrained as of September 30, 2025. The sales-based royalty fee qualifies for the royalty constraint exception and does not require an estimate of the future transaction price. The sales-based royalty fee is considered variable consideration and will be recognized as revenue as such sales occur, if any.
The Company assessed the promises made under the Théa License and concluded the Théa License comprises a single performance obligation providing the right to use functional intellectual property. The $2.5 million transaction price allocated to that single performance obligation was recognized upon transfer of the Théa License during the three months ended September 30, 2025. No regulatory or sales milestones were met under the Théa License during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
