1.  Description of Business

Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the "Company", "Rockwell", "we", or "us") is a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, commercializes, and distributes a portfolio of hemodialysis products for dialysis providers worldwide.

Rockwell is the largest supplier of liquid bicarbonate concentrates and the second largest supplier of acid and dry bicarbonate concentrates for dialysis patients in the United States. Hemodialysis is the most common form of end-stage kidney disease treatment and is usually performed at freestanding outpatient dialysis centers, at hospital-based outpatient centers, at skilled nursing facilities, or in a patient’s home.

Rockwell manufactures hemodialysis concentrates at its facilities in Michigan, South Carolina, and Texas totaling approximately 175,000 square feet, and manufactures its dry acid concentrate mixers at its facility in Iowa. Additionally, in July 2023, the Company purchased customer relationships, equipment and inventory from Evoqua Water Technologies related to manufacturing and sale of hemodialysis concentrates products, all of which are manufactured under a contract manufacturing agreement with a third-party organization in Minnesota.

Rockwell delivers the majority of its hemodialysis concentrates products and mixers to dialysis clinics throughout the United States and internationally utilizing its own delivery trucks and third-party carriers.

The Company operates in a single segment.

Rockwell was incorporated in the state of Michigan in 1996 and re-domiciled to the state of Delaware in 2019. Rockwell's headquarters is located at 30142 Wixom Road, Wixom, Michigan 48393.

2.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, Rockwell had approximately $8.6 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments available-for-sale, and working capital of $11.7 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $2.4 million. Based on the currently available working capital along with the expectation of management of its ability to execute on its operational plans as discussed below, management believes the Company currently has sufficient funds to meet its operating requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this report.

The Company continues to review its operational plans and execute on the acquisition of new customers, and has implemented cost containment activities. The Company may require additional capital to sustain its operations and make the investments it needs to execute its strategic plan. Additionally, the Company's operational plans include raising capital, if needed, by using the remaining $10.4 million available under its at-the-market ("ATM") facility or other methods or forms of financings, subject to existing limitations. If the Company attempts to obtain additional debt or equity financing, the Company cannot assume such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

The Company is subject to certain covenants and cure provisions under its Loan Agreement with Innovatus, which, on January 2, 2024, was amended to include, among other things, an interest-only period for 30 months, or up to 36 months if certain conditions are met, and to extend the maturity date to January 1, 2029 (See Note 15 for further detail). As of March 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.

In addition, the global macroeconomic environment is uncertain, and could be negatively affected by, among other things, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global capital and credit markets, recent bank failures in the United States, supply chain weaknesses, and instability in the geopolitical environment, including as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and other political tensions, and the occurrence of natural disasters and public health crises. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, recession fears, rising interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and inflationary pressures. At this time, the Company is unable to quantify the potential effects of this economic instability on our future operations.

Rockwell has utilized a range of financing methods to fund its operations in the past; however, current conditions in the financial and credit markets may limit the availability of funding, refinancing or increase the cost of funding. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the global situation, it is not possible to predict the extent to which these conditions could adversely affect the Company's liquidity and capital resources in the future.

3.  Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2024. The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries consist of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rockwell Transportation, Inc. and Rockwell Medical India Private Limited.

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)	2024		2023
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(1,731)	$	(1,750)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(1,731)	$	(1,750)
Denominator:
Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding - basic and diluted	29,327,204		18,359,940
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted	$	(0.06)	$	(0.10)

Included within the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are 5,911,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of certain pre-funded warrants, as the warrants were exercisable at any time for nominal consideration and, as such, the shares were considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. There were no unexercised pre-funded warrants as of March 31, 2024.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include stock options, restricted stock awards and units, convertible preferred stock and warrants. These securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. The following table includes the potential shares of common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, that were excluded from the

computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

	As of March 31,
	2024	2023
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock	3,984,484	10,196,268
Options to Purchase Common Stock	1,876,031	1,194,202
Convertible Preferred Stock	1,363,636	1,363,636
Unvested Restricted Stock Units	441,218	125,000
Unvested Restricted Stock Awards	891	891
Total	7,666,260	12,879,997

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a review to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures there are sufficient controls in place to ascertain the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which updates income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is in the process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements.

4.  Asset Acquisition

On July 10, 2023, the Company executed and consummated the transactions contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Evoqua Water Technologies LLC ("Evoqua") (the "Evoqua Acquisition"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), the Company purchased customer relationships, equipment and inventory from Evoqua, which were related to its manufacturing and selling of hemodialysis concentrates products, all of which are manufactured under a contract manufacturing agreement with a third-party organization.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, total consideration was $17.4 million, comprising a cash payment at Closing of $12.4 million (inclusive of transaction costs) and two $2.5 million deferred payments, the first to be paid on the one-year anniversary of the Closing, which is included as a current liability on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, and the second to be paid on the second anniversary of the Closing (collectively, the “deferred consideration”).

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business as defined by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations.

ROCKWELL MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The purchase price was allocated, on a relative fair value basis, to the assets acquired at the July 10, 2023 acquisition date as follows (table in thousands):

Consideration
Cash Payment	$	12,233
Deferred Consideration	5,000
Transaction Costs	128
Total Consideration	$	17,361
Assets Acquired
Customer Relationships Intangible Asset	$	11,035
Equipment	5,093
Inventory	1,233
Total Assets Acquired	$	17,361

The fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was determined using a multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, which incorporates the estimated future cash flows to be generated from the customer base. Key assumptions included discounted cash flow, estimated life cycle and customer attrition rates. Customer relationships are being amortized over a period of 20 years. Given that the acquired equipment had been recently purchased and recorded at fair value, the Company determined the fair value of the equipment using a cost approach, which considered assumptions over the equipment's current replacement cost and useful life. Inventory was purchased directly from the contract manufacturer holding the inventory, which approximated fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded amortization of its customer relationship intangible asset of $0.1 million, resulting in a net intangible asset of $10.6 million as of March 31, 2024.

Estimated future amortization expense on the Company's customer relationships intangible asset as of March 31, 2024 is as follows (table in thousands):

Year ended December 31:
2024 (remainder of year)	$	414
2025	552
2026	552
2027	552
2028	552
Thereafter	7,999
Total	$	10,621

5.  Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, issued by the FASB. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

•Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

•Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

•Step 3: Determine the transaction price

•Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

•Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by Rockwell from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight related to contracts with customers are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales when control of the goods transfers to the customer.

Nature of goods and services

Rockwell operates in one market segment, the hemodialysis market, which involves the manufacture, sale and distribution of hemodialysis products to hemodialysis clinics, including pharmaceutical, dialysis concentrates, dialysis kits and other ancillary products used in the dialysis process.

Rockwell's customer mix is diverse, with most customer sales concentrations under 10% and one customer, DaVita, Inc. ("DaVita"), at approximately 44% and 48% of total net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rockwell's accounts receivable from this customer were approximately 19% of the total net consolidated accounts receivable balance at each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See below and Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company's contracts with DaVita.

The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct (i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer). The consideration, including any discounts, is allocated between separate products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the cost plus margin approach.

Drug and dialysis concentrate products are sold directly to dialysis clinics and to wholesale distributors in both domestic and international markets. Distribution and license agreements for which upfront fees are received are evaluated upon execution or modification of the agreement to determine if the agreement creates a separate performance obligation from the underlying product sales.  For all existing distribution and license agreements, the distribution and license agreement is not a distinct performance obligation from the product sales.  In instances where regulatory approval of the product has not been established and the Company does not have sufficient experience with the foreign regulatory body to conclude that regulatory approval is probable, the revenue for the performance obligation is recognized over the term of the license agreement (over time recognition). Conversely, when regulatory approval already exists or is probable, revenue is recognized at the point in time that control of the product transfers to the customer.

For the majority of the Company's international customers, the Company recognizes revenue at the shipping point, which is generally the Company's plant or warehouse. For other business, the Company recognizes revenue based on when the customer takes control of the product. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the purchase order less returns and adjusted for any rebates, discounts, chargebacks or other amounts paid to customers estimated at the time of sale. Customers typically pay for the product based on customary business practices with payment terms averaging 30 days, while a small subset of customers have payment terms averaging 60 days.

Deferred License Revenue

The Company received upfront fees under five distribution and license agreements that have been deferred as a contract liability and presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as deferred license revenue.  The amounts received from Wanbang Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Wanbang”), Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Sun Pharma"), Jeil Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Jeil Pharma") and Drogsan Pharmaceuticals ("Drogsan Pharma") are recognized as revenue over the estimated term of the applicable distribution and license agreement as regulatory approval was not received and the Company did not have sufficient experience in China, India, South Korea and Turkey, respectively, to determine that regulatory approval was probable as of the execution of the agreement. The amounts received from Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”) were deferred and recognized as revenue at the point in time the estimated product sales under the agreement occurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, all remaining deferred revenue relating to the Baxter agreement was recognized as revenue. For additional information related to the Company's deferred license revenue, see Note 10.

Product Purchase Agreements

On September 18, 2023, the Company and its long-time partner, DaVita, Inc. ("DaVita"), a leading provider of kidney care, entered into an Amended and Restated Products Purchase Agreement (the "Amended Agreement"), which amends and restates the Product Purchase Agreement, dated July 1, 2019, as amended, under which the Company supplies DaVita with certain dialysis concentrates. Under the Amended Agreement, the Company and DaVita agreed to an increase in product pricing, effective September 1, 2023 and a one-time payment of $0.4 million to Rockwell on or after December 1, 2023, which was recorded as revenue recognized during the fourth quarter of 2023. The term of the Amended Agreement will expire on December 31, 2024. DaVita will have the right, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Company given no later than September 30, 2024, to further extend the term through December 31, 2025. In the event of such an extension, product pricing will be increased for the extended term. In addition, DaVita is required to provide the Company with nine-month purchasing forecasts and a commitment to purchase at least the forecasted amounts. In the event that DaVita does not meet its forecasts, it is required to pay the Company for the amount forecasted or purchase additional product; otherwise, the Company may terminate the Amended Agreement. Upon expiration or termination of the Amended Agreement, and upon request by DaVita, the Company has agreed it would provide transition services to DaVita during a transition period.

10.  Deferred License Revenue

In October 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Baxter, which had a term of 10 years and received an upfront fee of $20 million. Under the exclusive distribution agreement, Baxter distributed and commercialized Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrates products and provided customer service and order delivery to nearly all U.S. customers. The upfront fee was recorded as deferred license revenue and was being recognized based on the proportion of product shipments to Baxter in each period, compared with total expected sales volume over the term of the distribution agreement. On November 9, 2022, Rockwell paid Baxter a fee, which was reflected as a reduction to revenue on the consolidated statements of operations, and was payable in two equal installments on January 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023, to reacquire its distribution rights to its hemodialysis concentrates products from Baxter and terminated the distribution agreement. Exclusivity and other provisions associated with the distribution agreement terminated November 9, 2022 and the remaining operational elements of the agreement terminated December 31, 2022. To ensure that customer needs continued to be met after January 1, 2023, Rockwell agreed to provide certain services to a group of Baxter's customers until March 31, 2023, and Baxter and Rockwell worked together to transition customers’ purchases of Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrates through that date. Following the reacquisition of these rights, Rockwell is now unrestricted in its ability to sell its hemodialysis concentrates products to dialysis clinics throughout the United States and around the world. The Company recognized the remaining revenue of $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The remaining agreements with Sun Pharma, Jeil Pharmaceutical, and Drogsan Pharmaceuticals comprise the current and long-term portions of deferred license revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

11.  Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

On April 6, 2022, the Company and DaVita entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA"), which provided for the issuance by the Company of up to $15 million of preferred stock to DaVita. On April 6, 2022, the Company issued 7,500 shares of Series X Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $7.5 million. On June 16, 2022, the Company issued an additional 7,500 shares of the Series X Preferred Stock to DaVita for gross proceeds of $7.5 million.

The Series X Preferred Stock was issued for a price of $1,000 per share (the "Face Amount"), subject to accretion at a rate of 1% per annum, compounded annually. If the Company’s common stock trades above $22.00 for a period of 30 calendar days, the accretion will thereafter cease. As of March 31, 2024, the Series X Preferred Stock accreted a total $0.2 million.

The Series X Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible to common stock at a rate equal to the Face Amount, divided by a conversion price of $11.00 per share (subject to adjustment for future stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar recapitalization events). As a result, each share of Series X Preferred Stock will initially convert into approximately 91 shares of common stock. DaVita’s right to convert to common stock is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which is initially set at 9.9% of the outstanding common stock, which limitation may be reset (not to exceed 19.9%) at DaVita’s option and upon providing prior written notice to the Company. In addition, any debt financing is limited by the terms of our Securities Purchase Agreement with DaVita. Specifically, until DaVita owns less than 50% of its investment, the Company may only incur additional debt in the form of a purchase money loan, a working capital line of up to $5 million, or to refinance existing debt, unless DaVita consents.

Additionally, the Series X Preferred Stock has a deemed liquidation event and redemption clause which could be triggered if the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets relating to the Company's dialysis concentrates business line. Since the Series X Preferred Stock may be redeemed if certain assets are sold at the option of the holder, but is not mandatorily redeemable and the sale of the assets that would allow for redemption is within the control of the Company, the preferred stock has been classified as permanent equity and initially recognized at fair value of $15 million (the proceeds on the date of issuance) less issuance costs of $0.1 million, resulting in an initial value of $14.9 million. The Company will assess at each reporting period whether conditions have changed to now meet the mandatory redemption definition which could trigger liability classification.

As of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, authorized and 15,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 170,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, authorized and 29,556,474 and 29,130,607 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reserved for issuance the following shares of common stock related to the potential exercise of employee stock options, unvested restricted stock, convertible preferred stock, pre-funded warrants and all other warrants (collectively, "common stock equivalents"):

	As of March 31,
Common stock and common stock equivalents:	2024	2023
Common stock	29,556,474	12,552,673
Common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants	—	5,911,000

Total	37,222,734	31,343,670

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, nil and 389,000 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no vested employee stock options were exercised.

Controlled Equity Offering

On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into the Sales Agreement (the "ATM facility") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as Agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time up to $12.2 million of shares of Company’s common stock through the Agent. The offering and sale of such shares has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 358,210 shares were sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $0.6 million. Approximately $10.4 million remains available for sale under the ATM facility.

Private Placement

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”), which held a warrant (the “Prior Warrant”) to purchase 9,900,990 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) with an exercise price of $1.39 per share, offering Armistice the opportunity to exercise the Prior Warrant for cash, provided the Prior Warrant was exercised for cash on or prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on July 10, 2028 (the “End Date”). In addition, Armistice would receive a “reload” warrant (the “Reload Warrant”) to purchase 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.13 per share, the closing price as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 7, 2023. The terms of the Reload Warrant and Letter Agreement provide for customary resale registration rights. The Letter Agreement also provides that for a period of 45 days after the issuance of the Reload Warrant, the Company’s may not sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to its sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., dated as of April 8, 2022, at price per share less than $6.25. The Reload Warrant may be exercised at all times prior to the 54 months month anniversary of its issuance date. The Prior Warrant and the Reload Warrant both provide that a holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Prior Warrant or the Reload Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrant. To the extent the exercise of the Prior Warrant would result in Armistice holding more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% will be held in abeyance. The Letter

Agreement amended the Prior Warrant to extend the expiration date thereof to one year following the original expiration date set forth therein.

Armistice exercised the Prior Warrant on July 10, 2023, and the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $13.8 million.

Third Amendment

In connection with the execution of the Third Amendment, as defined and described in Note 15, on January 2, 2024, the Company issued to Innovatus a warrant to purchase 191,096 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.83 per share. The warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis, and is immediately exercisable through January 2, 2029. The number of shares of common stock for which the warrant is exercisable and the exercise price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in the Third Amendment. The warrant is equity-classified with a fair value of approximately $0.2 million at issuance, which was treated as a debt issuance cost and will be amortized through interest expense over the remaining contractual term of the Term Loan.

The fair value of the warrant at the issuance date was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model and include the following assumptions:

Stock price per share	$1.86
Expected stock price volatility	85.00%
Risk-free interest rate	3.93%
Term (years)	5.0
Dividend yield	—%

Product License Agreements

The Company is a party to a Licensing Agreement between the Company and Charak, LLC ("Charak") dated January 7, 2002 (the "2002 Agreement") that grants the Company exclusive worldwide rights to certain patents and information related to our Triferic product. On October 7, 2018, the Company entered into a Master Services and IP Agreement (the “Charak MSA”) with Charak and Dr. Ajay Gupta, a former Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the MSA, the parties entered into three additional agreements described below related to the license of certain soluble ferric pyrophosphate (“SFP”) intellectual property owned by Charak. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has accrued $87,900 relating to certain IP reimbursement expenses and certain sublicense royalty fees, which is included within accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Pursuant to the Charak MSA, the aforementioned parties entered into an Amendment, dated as of October 7, 2018 (the “Charak Amendment”), to the 2002 Agreement, under which Charak granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable license to commercialize SFP for the treatment of patients with renal failure. The Charak Amendment amends the royalty payments due to Charak under the 2002 Agreement such that the Company is liable to pay Charak royalties on net sales by the Company of products developed under the license, which includes the Company’s Triferic product, at a specified rate until December 31, 2021 and thereafter at a reduced rate from January 1, 2022 until February 1, 2034. Additionally, the Company is required to pay Charak a percentage of any sublicense income during the term of the agreement, which cannot be less than a minimum specified percentage of net sales of the licensed products by the sublicensee in jurisdictions where there exists a valid claim, on a country-by-country basis, and be no less than a lower rate of the net sales of the licensed products by the sublicensee in jurisdictions where there exists no valid claim, on a country-by-country basis.

Also pursuant to the Charak MSA, the Company and Charak entered into a Commercialization and Technology License Agreement IV Triferic dated as of October 7, 2018 (the “IV Agreement”), under which Charak granted the Company an exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-bearing license to SFP for the purpose of commercializing certain intravenous-delivered products incorporating SFP for the treatment of iron disorders worldwide for a term that expires on the later of February 1, 2034 or upon the expiration or termination of a valid claim of a licensed patent. The Company was liable to pay Charak royalties on net sales by the Company of products developed under the license at a specified rate until December 31, 2021. From January 1, 2022 until February 1, 2034, the Company is liable to pay Charak a base royalty at a reduced rate on net sales and an additional royalty on net sales while there exists a valid claim of a licensed patent, on a country-by-country basis. The Company shall also pay to Charak a percentage of any sublicense income received during the term of the IV Agreement, which amount shall not be less than a minimum specified percentage of net sales of the licensed products by the sublicensee in jurisdictions where there exists a valid claim, on a country-by-country basis, and not be less than a lower rate of the net sales of the licensed products by the sublicensee in jurisdictions where there exists no valid claim, on a country-by-country basis.

Also pursuant to the Charak MSA, the Company and Charak entered into a Technology License Agreement TPN Triferic dated as of October 7, 2018 (the “TPN Agreement”), pursuant to which Charak granted the Company an exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-bearing license to SFP for the purpose of commercializing worldwide certain TPN products incorporating SFP. The license grant under the TPN Agreement continues for a term that expires on the later of February 1, 2034 or upon the expiration or termination of a valid claim of a licensed patent. During the term of the TPN Agreement, the Company is liable to pay Charak a base royalty on net sales and an additional royalty on net sales while there exists a valid claim of a licensed patent, on a country-by-country basis. The Company shall also pay to Charak a percentage of any sublicense income received during the term of the TPN Agreement, which amount shall not be less than a minimum royalty on net sales of the licensed products by the sublicensee in jurisdictions where there exists a valid claim, on a country-by-country basis, and not be less than a lower rate of the net sales of the licensed products by the sublicensee in jurisdictions where there exists no valid claim, on a country-by-country basis.

The potential milestone payments are not yet considered probable, and no milestone payments have been accrued as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

15. Loan and Security Agreement

On March 16, 2020, the Company and Rockwell Transportation, Inc., as Borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP ("Innovatus"), as collateral agent and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which Innovatus, as a lender, agreed to make certain term loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $35.0 million (the "Term Loans"). Funding of the first $22.5 million tranche was completed on March 16, 2020. The Company is no longer eligible to draw on additional tranches, which were tied to the achievement of certain milestones. Net draw down proceeds were $21.2 million with closing costs of $1.3 million. The Company also owes an additional fee equal to 4.375% of the funded amount of the Term Loans, or $1.0 million (such additional fee, the "Final Fee") at

maturity. The Company is accreting up to this Final Fee premium with a charge against interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with each funding of the Term Loans, the Company was required to issue to Innovatus a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 3.5% of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loan funded divided by the exercise price. In connection with the first tranche of the Term Loans, the Company issued a Warrant to Innovatus, exercisable for an aggregate of 43,388 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $18.15 per share. The Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis and is immediately exercisable through the seventh anniversary of the applicable funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which the Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant. The Company evaluated the warrant under ASC 470, Debt, and recognized an additional debt discount of approximately $0.5 million based on the relative fair value of the base instruments and warrants. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes model.

The Term Loan was scheduled to mature on March 16, 2025, and bore interest at the greater of (i) Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (ii) 4.75%, plus 4.00%, with an initial interest rate of 8.75% per annum. The Company had the option, under certain circumstances, to add 1.00% of such interest rate amount to the then outstanding principal balance in lieu of paying such amount in cash.

The Loan Agreement is secured by all assets of the Company and Rockwell Transportation, Inc. and contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve outs, and initially included financial covenants related to liquidity and sales of Triferic.

In September 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement in which the Company, in exchange for Innovatus lowering the sales covenants, agreed to: (i) prepay an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million in ten installments commencing on December 1, 2021; (ii) pay an additional prepayment premium of 5% on prepaid amounts if the Company elects to prepay all outstanding Term Loans on or before September 24, 2023; and (iii) maintain minimum liquidity of no less than $5.0 million if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans is greater than $15 million pursuant to the liquidity covenant in the Loan Agreement.

On November 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of November 14, 2022 with Innovatus. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company (i) prepaid an additional aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million in Term Loans in one installment on November 14, 2022; and (ii) paid interest only payments until September 2023, at which time it resumed scheduled debt payments. The financial covenant related to the sales of Triferic was replaced with the trailing 6 months revenue of the Company's concentrates products.

On January 2, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to and Restatement of the Loan and Security Agreement (the "Third Amendment") with Innovatus, dated January 1, 2024. The Third Amendment provides for the continuation of term loans initially borrowed under the Loan Agreement amounting to $8.0 million as of January 1, 2024. The Company will make interest-only payments on the Term Loans for 30 months, or up to 36 months if certain conditions are met. The Term Loans will mature on January 1, 2029, unless earlier repaid. Effective on January 1, 2024, the Term Loans will bear interest equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) Prime Rate (as defined in the Third Amendment) and (b) 7.50% plus (ii) 3.50%. At the Company's option, 2.00% of the interest due on any applicable interest payment date during the interest-only period may be paid in-kind by adding such amount to the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans. The Term Loans may be voluntarily prepaid in full (but not partially) at any time, upon at least seven business days’ prior notice. In connection with any voluntary prepayment or satisfaction of the Term Loans prior to the maturity date (including any acceleration), the Company will pay all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due in connection with the Term Loans, together with (x) a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) equal to: (i) 6.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid if the payment is made before January 1, 2025; (ii) 2.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid if the payment is made after January 1, 2025 but on or before January 1, 2026; (iii) 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid if the payment is made after January 1, 2026 but on or before January 1, 2027; or (iv) 0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid if the payment is made after January 1, 2027 through maturity, and (y) the Final Fee. The Term Loans will be mandatorily prepaid upon a change in control of the Company, or upon any early termination/acceleration of the Term Loans. In the event of a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans, the Company shall be required to pay the Prepayment Fee (if applicable), as well as the Final Fee. The Third Amendment Final Fee shall be due and payable at maturity if it has not previously been paid in full in connection with a prepayment of the Term Loans. The Third Amendment was treated as a modification for accounting purposes.

The Third Amendment contains various financial covenants and customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, subject to exceptions as described in the Third Amendment. The Company's ability to comply with the covenants under the Third Amendment may be adversely affected by events beyond its control. If the Company is unable to comply with the covenants under the Third Amendment, it would pursue all available cure options in order to regain compliance. However, the Company may not be able to mutually agree with Innovatus on appropriate remedies to cure a future breach of a covenant, which could give rise to an event of default. However, as of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Third Amendment.

In connection with the execution of the Third Amendment, on January 2, 2024, the Company issued a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant is equity-classified with a fair value of $0.2 million at issuance, which was treated as a debt issuance cost and will be amortized through interest expense over the remaining contractual term of the Term Loan. For additional information, see Note 11.

The effective interest rate is 12.0% as of March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, interest expense amounted to $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $8.3 million, net of unamortized issuance costs and discount of $0.7 million, and including $0.8 million of premium accretion, $0.1 million related to a fee resulting from the Third Amendment, and paid-in-kind interest of $40 thousand.

The following table reflects the schedule of principal payments on the Term Loan as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

16. Insurance Financing Note Payable

On June 3, 2023, the Company entered into a short-term note payable for $0.7 million, bearing interest at 9.59% per annum to finance various insurance policies. Principal and interest payments related to this note began on July 3, 2023 and were paid on a straight-line amortization over nine months with the final payment due on March 3, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company's insurance financing note payable balance was paid in full.

Other factors not currently anticipated may also materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial position.  There can be no assurance future results will meet expectations.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and we expressly disclaim any intent to update or alter any statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

Overview

Rockwell Medical is a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, commercializes, and distributes a portfolio of hemodialysis products for dialysis providers worldwide.

Rockwell is the largest supplier of liquid bicarbonate concentrates and the second largest supplier of acid and dry bicarbonate concentrates for dialysis patients in the United States. Hemodialysis is the most common form of end-stage kidney disease treatment and is usually performed at freestanding outpatient dialysis centers, at hospital-based outpatient centers, at skilled nursing facilities, or in a patient’s home. This represents a large market opportunity for which we believe Rockwell's products are well-positioned to meet the needs of patients.

Rockwell delivers the majority of its hemodialysis concentrates products and mixers to dialysis clinics throughout the United States and internationally utilizing its own delivery trucks and third-party carriers. Rockwell has developed a core expertise in manufacturing and delivering hemodialysis concentrates, and has built a longstanding reputation for reliability, quality, and excellent customer service.

Rockwell provides the hemodialysis community with products controlled by a Quality Management System regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Rockwell is ISO 13485 Certified and adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") and Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ("AAMI") standards. Rockwell manufactures hemodialysis concentrates at its facilities in Michigan, South Carolina, and Texas totaling approximately 175,000 square feet, and manufactures its dry acid concentrate mixers at its facility in Iowa. In addition, the Company manufactures hemodialysis concentrates in Minnesota under a contract manufacturing agreement with a contract manufacturing organization. (See Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for further detail). On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its contract manufacturing agreement to extend the

term to December 31, 2024. The Company plans to transfer the manufacturing of the former Evoqua product line to one of its own manufacturing facilities by the end of 2024, which the Company believes will reduce production costs for these products.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

The following table summarizes our operating results for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		% of Revenue		2023		% of Revenue		% Change

Net Sales

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our net sales were $22.7 million compared to net sales of $19.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $3.0 million was primarily due to additional customers added through the Evoqua asset acquisition and price increases, partially offset by $1.5 million of deferred license revenue recognition included in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Overall, product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $22.7 million compared to product revenue of $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net sales of non-product revenue were not material in either period.

Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $19.6 million, resulting in gross profit of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to cost of sales of $17.1 million and a gross profit of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Gross profit increased by $0.5 million primarily due to additional customers added through the Evoqua asset acquisition and price increases. The three months ended March 31, 2023 included $1.5 million of gross profit associated with deferred license revenue recognition.

Research and Product Development Expense

Research and product development expenses were $18 thousand and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of approximately $0.3 million is due to the decision to pause all research and development related to Triferic.

Selling and Marketing Expense

Selling and marketing expenses were $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses were $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $0.5 million was primarily due to increased wages, administrative costs and amortization of intangible assets.

16

Other Expense

Total other expense of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was primarily driven by interest expense related to our debt facility (See Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $8.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale, and working capital of $11.7 million. Based on the currently available working capital along with the expectation of management of its ability to execute on its operational plans as discussed below, management believes the Company currently has sufficient funds to meet its operating requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this report.

Additionally, the Company's operational plans include raising capital, if needed, by using the $10.4 million remaining availability under its at-the-market ("ATM") facility or other methods or forms of financings, subject to existing limitations. Under the ATM, we have the ability to control the timing and price at which capital is raised.

The actual amount of cash that we will need to execute our business strategy is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to the costs associated with our manufacturing and transportation operations related to our concentrate business.

We may elect to raise capital in the future through one or more of the following: (i) equity and debt raises through the equity and capital markets, though there can be no assurance we will be able to secure additional capital or funding on acceptable terms, or if at all; and (ii) strategic transactions, including potential alliances and collaborations focused on markets outside the United States, as well as potential combinations (including by merger or acquisition) or other corporate transactions.

We believe our ability to fund our activities in the long term will be highly dependent upon (i) our ability to execute on the growth strategy of our hemodialysis concentrates business, (ii) our ability to achieve profitability, and (iii) our ability to identify, develop, in-license, or acquire new products in developing our renal care product portfolio. All of these strategies are subject to significant risks and uncertainties such that there can be no assurance we will be successful in achieving them. If we are unsuccessful in executing our business plan and we are unable to raise the required capital, we may be forced to curtail all of our activities and, ultimately, cease operations. Even if we are able to raise sufficient capital, such financings may only be available on unattractive terms, or result in significant dilution of stockholders’ interests and, in such event, the market price of our common stock may decline.

If the Company attempts to obtain additional debt or equity financing, the Company cannot assume such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, any debt financing is limited by the terms of our Securities Purchase Agreement with DaVita. Specifically, until DaVita owns less than 50% of its investment, the Company may only incur additional debt in the form of a purchase money loan, a working capital line of up to $5 million or to refinance existing debt, unless DaVita consents.

The Company is subject to certain covenants and cure provisions under its Loan Agreement with Innovatus. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with all covenants. On January 2, 2024, the Company's Loan Agreement was amended to include, among other things, an interest-only period for 30 months, or up to 36 months if certain conditions are met, and extend the maturity date to January 1, 2029 (See Note 15 to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements).

The global macroeconomic environment is uncertain, and could be negatively affected by, among other things, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global capital and credit markets, recent bank failures in the United States, supply chain weaknesses, and instability in the geopolitical environment, including as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and other political tensions, and the occurrence of natural disasters and public health crises. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, recession fears, rising interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and inflationary pressures. At this time, the Company is unable to quantify the potential effects of this economic instability on our future operations. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the global situation, it is not possible to predict the extent to which these conditions could adversely affect the Company's liquidity and capital resources in the future.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cash used from operating activities during the current period was primarily due to a decrease in changes in current balance sheet accounts in the ordinary course of business of approximately $2.2 million, primarily due to a decrease in accrued and other liabilities of $1.9 million.

Cash Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven entirely by cash paid for the purchase of equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to sales and purchase of available-for-sale investments during the period.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash provided financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to the gross proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with the ATM facility of $0.6 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of payments under the insurance financing note payable and $0.1 million of payments on finance lease liabilities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to payment on short term insurance note payable and finance leases.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional disclosures. There have been no other material changes from the contractual obligations and other commitments disclosed in Note 14 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and significant estimates are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements:

We have evaluated all recently issued accounting pronouncements and believe such pronouncements do not have a material effect our financial statements. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Per §229.305 of Regulation S-K, the Company, designated a Smaller Reporting Company as defined in §229.10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the disclosure required by this Item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure material information required to be disclosed in our reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent

limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost‑benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

We may be involved in certain routine legal proceedings from time to time before various courts and governmental agencies. We cannot predict the final disposition of such proceedings. We regularly review legal matters and record provisions for claims considered probable of loss. The resolution of these pending proceedings is not expected to have a material effect on our operations or consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are resolved.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business is subject to various risks, including those described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
