What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

  • All distributors and wholesalers nationwide fully stocked with EXXUA, with initial prescriptions generated.
  • Deployment of a 40+ person sales force completed in mid-January 2026 following launch meeting.
  • Excluding EXXUA launch investments, adjusted EBITDA would have been positive for the 11th consecutive quarter.
  • RxConnect caps commercially insured patient out-of-pocket at no more than $50 per prescription, covering approximately 60% of commercially insured MDD patients.
  • Management states supply is adequate through this calendar year and beyond, with ability to scale if demand exceeds forecasts.

“As many of you are aware, we held an Investor Day back on January 20 where we spent the better part of two hours diving into all things ExuA.” Josh Disbrow, CEO
“For the six-week period ending January 16, the Teva generic accounted for approximately 5% of prescriptions written. Over that same period, our authorized generic of Adzenys represented just under 20% of total prescriptions, with the remaining volume continuing to be branded Adzenys.” Josh Disbrow, CEO
