• | Overview. This section provides a general description of our business and information about our business that we believe is important in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. |
• | Basis of Presentation. This section provides information about key accounting estimates and policies that we followed in preparing our consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. |
• | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. This section discusses those accounting policies that are both considered important to our financial condition and results of operations and require significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in their application. All of our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies, are also summarized in the notes to our interim consolidated financial statements that are included in this report. |
• | Results of Operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. |
• | Liquidity and Capital Resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows, capital resources, off-balance sheet arrangements and our outstanding commitments, if any. |
• | Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements. This section discusses how certain forward-looking statements made throughout this MD&A and in other sections of this report are based on management’s present expectations about future events and are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstance. |
OVERVIEW
We are a commercial-stage patient-centric biopharmaceutical company focused on in-licensing, developing and commercializing novel high-quality medicines for patients living with rare diseases and diseases that are difficult to treat. With exceptional patient focus, we are committed to developing a robust pipeline of cutting-edge, best-in-class medicines for treating rare and difficult to treat diseases. We are dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those suffering from rare and difficult to treat diseases, and we believe in putting patients first in everything we do.
Our flagship U.S. commercial product is FIRDAPSE® (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg. approved for the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, or LEMS, for adults and for children ages six and up. Further, on January 24, 2023, we closed our acquisition of FYCOMPA® and are now also marketing that product in the United States. FYCOMPA® (perampanel) CIII is a prescription medication used alone or with other medicines to treat focal onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures in people with epilepsy aged four and older and with other medicines to treat primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in people with epilepsy aged 12 and older. Finally, on July 18, 2023, we closed our acquisition of an exclusive license for North America for vamorolone, a novel corticosteroid treatment for patients suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). On October 26, 2023, the FDA approved AGAMREE® (vamorolone) oral suspension 40 mg/ml for the treatment of DMD. We are currently planning the commercial launch of AGAMREE® in the United States during the first quarter of 2024.
FIRDAPSE®
On November 28, 2018, we received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of our new drug application (NDA) for FIRDAPSE® Tablets 10 mg for the treatment of adult patients (ages 17 and above) with LEMS, and in January 2019, we launched FIRDAPSE® in the United States. Further, on September 29, 2022, the FDA approved our supplemental NDA (sNDA) to expand the indicated age range for FIRDAPSE® Tablets 10 mg to include pediatric patients, six years of age and older for the treatment of LEMS.
We sell FIRDAPSE® through a field force experienced in neurologic, central nervous system or rare disease products consisting at this time of approximately 29 field personnel, including sales (Regional Account Managers), thought-leader liaisons, patient assistance and insurance navigation support (Patient Access Liaisons), and payor reimbursement (National Account Managers). We also have a field-based force of six medical science liaisons who are helping educate the medical communities and patients about LEMS and our programs supporting patients and access to FIRDAPSE®.
Additionally, we have contracted with an experienced inside sales agency that works to generate leads through telemarketing to targeted physicians. This inside sales agency allows our sales efforts to not only reach the neuromuscular specialists who regularly treat LEMS patients, but also the roughly 9,000 neurology and neuromuscular healthcare providers that may be treating a LEMS patient who can benefit from FIRDAPSE®. We also use non-personal promotion to reach the 20,000 neurologists who are potential LEMS treaters and the 16,000 oncologists who might be treating a LEMS patient with small cell lung cancer. Further, we continue to make available at no-cost a LEMS voltage gated calcium channel antibody testing program for use by physicians who suspect that one of their patients may have LEMS and wish to reach a definitive diagnosis.
33
Finally, we are continuing to expand our digital and social media activities to introduce our product and services to potential patients and their healthcare providers. We also work with several rare disease advocacy organizations (including Global Genes and the National Organization for Rare Disorders) to help increase awareness and level of support for patients living with LEMS and to provide education for the physicians who treat these rare diseases and the patients they treat.
We are supporting the distribution of FIRDAPSE® through Catalyst Pathways®, our personalized treatment support program for patients who enroll in it. Catalyst Pathways® is a single source for personalized treatment support, education and guidance through the challenging dosing and titration regimen required to reach an effective therapeutic dose. It also includes distributing the drug through a very small group of exclusive specialty pharmacies (primarily AnovoRx), which is consistent with the way that most drug products for ultra-orphan diseases are distributed and dispensed to patients. We believe that by using specialty pharmacies in this way, the difficult task of navigating the health care system is far better for the patient needing treatment for their rare disease and the health care community in general.
In order to help patients with LEMS afford their medication, we, like other pharmaceutical companies which are marketing drugs for ultra-orphan conditions, have developed an array of financial assistance programs that are available to reduce patient co-pays and deductibles to a nominal affordable amount. A co-pay assistance program designed to keep out-of-pocket costs to not more than $10.00 per month (currently less than $2.00 per month) is available for all LEMS patients with commercial coverage who are prescribed FIRDAPSE®. Our FIRDAPSE® co-pay assistance program is not available to patients enrolled in state or federal healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, VA, DoD, or TRICARE. However, we are donating, and committed to continuing to donate, money to qualified, independent charitable foundations dedicated to providing assistance to any U.S. LEMS patients in financial need. Subject to compliance with regulatory requirements, our goal is that no LEMS patient is ever denied access to their medication for financial reasons.
In January 2023, we received Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letters from three generic drug manufacturers advising us that they had each submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to the FDA seeking authorization from the FDA to manufacture, use or sell a generic version of FIRDAPSE® in the United States. The notice letters each alleged that our six patents listed in the FDA Orange Book covering FIRDAPSE® are not valid, not enforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the proposed product described in these ANDA submissions. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, we had 45 days from receipt of the notice letters to commence patent infringement lawsuits against these generic drug manufacturers in a federal district court to trigger a stay precluding the FDA from approving any ANDA until May 2026 or entry of judgment holding the patents invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, whichever occurs first. In that regard, after conducting the necessary due diligence, we filed lawsuits on March 1, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the three generic drug manufacturers who notified us of their ANDA submissions, thus triggering the stay. We also very recently received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from a fourth generic drug manufacturer, which we are currently reviewing.
We intend to vigorously protect and defend our intellectual property for FIRDAPSE® and, although there can be no assurance, we believe that our patent estate will protect FIRDAPSE® from generic competition for the life of our patents.
On August 4, 2023, we submitted an sNDA to the FDA seeking an increase in the maximum indicated dose of FIRDAPSE® from 80 mg per day to 100 mg per day. On October 13, 2023, we announced that the FDA had accepted our sNDA for review and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of June 4, 2024. There can be no assurance that the FDA will approve our sNDA.
We are advised by our sub-licensee for FIRDAPSE® in Japan, DyDo Pharma, Inc. (DyDo), that based on a preliminary favorable analysis results of interim data after six months into the safety phase of its registration study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FIRDAPSE® for the treatment of LEMS, DyDo intends to file a Japan NDA with the MHLW in Japan seeking approval to commercialize the product in Japan by the end of 2023. There can be no assurance that any NDA filing made by DyDo will be approved.
FYCOMPA®
On December 17, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) for the acquisition of the U.S. rights to FYCOMPA® (perampanel) CIII. FYCOMPA® is a selective non-competitive antagonist of AMPA receptors, the major subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors. It was the first, and still the only, drug of its class to be approved for epilepsy. Studies suggest that AMPA receptor antagonism can lead to reduced overstimulation and anticonvulsant effects, as well as inhibiting seizure generation and spread. FYCOMPA® is a controlled substance and is approved with a box warning label.
FYCOMPA® is used to treat partial onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures in adults and children 4 years of age and older. It is also used in combination with other medications to treat primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (also known as a “grand mal” seizure, a seizure that involves the entire body) in adults and children 12 years of age or older. Perampanel is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It works by decreasing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
34
On January 24, 2023 we closed our acquisition of the U.S. rights to FYCOMPA®. In connection with the acquisition, we purchased Eisai’s regulatory approvals and documentation, product records, intellectual property, inventory, and other matters relating to the U.S. rights for FYCOMPA®, in exchange for a cash upfront payment of $160 million, plus $1.6 million for reimbursement of certain prepayments. Further, under certain circumstances, we may also be obligated to pay Eisai an additional cash payment of $25 million if a patent extension for FYCOMPA® until June 8, 2026 is approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Finally, we agreed to pay Eisai royalty payments after patent protection for FYCOMPA® expires, which royalty payments will be reduced upon generic equivalents to FYCOMPA® entering the market.
In conjunction with the closing of our acquisition of FYCOMPA®, we entered into two additional agreements with Eisai; a Transition Services Agreement and a Supply Agreement. Under the Transition Services Agreement, a U.S. subsidiary of Eisai is providing us with certain transitional services, and under the Supply Agreement, Eisai has agreed to manufacture FYCOMPA® for us for at least seven years at prices listed in the Supply Agreement (to be updated on a yearly basis).
Initially, following the closing of the acquisition, we began marketing FYCOMPA® in the U.S. through Eisai’s U.S. subsidiary under the Transition Services Agreement as we built our FYCOMPA® marketing and sales team, and on May 1, 2023, we took over the marketing program for FYCOMPA®. In that regard, we have hired approximately 34 sales and marketing personnel to support FYCOMPA®, most of whom previously worked in Eisai’s U.S. sales division marketing FYCOMPA®. We also have hired seven medical science liaisons to help us educate the medical community who treat epilepsy and the patients who have epilepsy about their disease and the benefits of FYCOMPA®.
Catalyst is supporting patients using FYCOMPA® through an Instant Savings Card Program. Through the program, eligible commercially insured patients could pay as little as $10 for their FYCOMPA® co-pay (with a maximum savings of $1,300 per year). The FYCOMPA® instant savings card program is not available to patients enrolled in state or federal healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, VA, DoD, or TRICARE.
Patent protection for FYCOMPA® is primarily from two patents listed in the Orange Book. The first, U.S. Patent No. 6,949,571 (the ‘571 patent), will expire no earlier than May 23, 2025, which is the current expiration date for the ‘571 patent that includes the USPTO’s current patent term extension calculation. A request for reconsideration of the agency’s patent term extension calculation to extend the period until June 8, 2026 was recently denied, and the Company is currently exploring its options to potentially obtain an extension of this patent term (and there can be no assurance that any extension of this patent term will be obtained). The second FYCOMPA® patent in the Orange Book is U.S. Patent No. 8,772,497 (the ‘497 patent) that expires on July 1, 2026. The ‘497 patent is the one that has been the subject of previous Paragraph IV certifications from three ANDA filers.
On February 20, 2023, Catalyst received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from a company that appears to have filed the first ANDA for the oral suspension formulation for FYCOMPA®. The same company sent a similar letter to the Company later in February with a similar certification for the tablet formulation for FYCOMPA®, the fourth such certification for this formulation. Both of these letters were paragraph IV certifications of non-infringement, non-validity, and unenforceability to the ‘497 patent for FYCOMPA® but each application, like the previous Paragraph IV notices from ANDA filers, for FYCOMPA® tablets does not challenge the ‘571 patent. Similar to our actions with the FIRDAPSE® Paragraph IV Certifications described above, after due diligence Catalyst filed lawsuits on April 5, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the drug manufacturer who notified Catalyst of their ANDA submissions for both FYCOMPA® formulations, thus triggering the 30 month stay for each application.
AGAMREE®
On June 19, 2023, we entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement (License Agreement) and an Investment Agreement (Investment Agreement) with Santhera Pharmaceuticals Holding, Inc. (Santhera). Under the License Agreement, we contracted to obtain an exclusive North America license, manufacturing and supply agreement for Santhera’s investigational product candidate, AGAMREE® (vamorolone), a novel corticosteroid for the treatment of DMD. Under the Investment Agreement, we agreed to make a strategic investment into Santhera.
Both transactions closed on July 18, 2023. Under the License Agreement, upon closing, we made a $75 million payment to Santhera in return for the exclusive North American license for AGAMREE®. Additionally, following approval of the NDA for the drug, on October 26, 2023, we became obligated to make milestone payments of $36 million to Santhera, $26 million of which will be used by Santhera to make milestone payments to third parties. This payment will be made in the fourth quarter of 2023. We may also be obligated to pay future regulatory and commercial milestone payments to Santhera tied to calendar year sales of AGAMREE®, as well as commercial royalties. In addition to the rights to commercialize the product in North America, the License Agreement provides us with the right of first negotiation for AGAMREE® in Europe and Japan should Santhera pursue partnership opportunities in those territories. Additionally, we will hold the North American rights to any future approved indications for AGAMREE®.
Concurrently with the closing of the License Agreement, we made a strategic investment into Santhera in which we acquired 1,414,688 of Santhera’s post-reverse split ordinary shares (representing approximately 11.26% of Santhera’s outstanding ordinary shares following the transaction) at an investment price of CHF 9.477 per share (corresponding to a mutually agreed volume weighted average price prior to signing), with the approximately $15 million investment to be used by Santhera for Phase IV studies of AGAMREE® in DMD and future development of additional indications for AGAMREE®.
35
DMD, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, is a rare and life-threatening neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle dysfunction, ultimately leading to loss of ambulation, respiratory failure, and fatality. Current standard treatment for DMD involves corticosteroids, which often come with significant side effects. It is estimated that between 11,000 and 13,000 patients in the U.S. are affected by DMD, with approximately 70% of patients currently receiving concomitant corticosteroid treatment.
AGAMREE®’s unique mode of action is based on differential effects on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors and modifying further downstream activity and, as such, is considered a novel corticosteroid with dissociative properties in maintaining efficacy, with a better-tolerated side effect profile. This mechanism of action may allow vamorolone to emerge as an effective alternative to the current standard of care corticosteroids in children, adolescents, and adult patients with DMD. In the pivotal VISION-DMD study, vamorolone met the primary endpoint Time to Stand (TTSTAND) velocity versus placebo (p=0.002) at 24 weeks of treatment and showed a good safety and tolerability profile. The most commonly reported adverse events versus placebo from the VISION-DMD study were cushingoid features, vomiting, and vitamin D deficiency. Adverse events were generally of mild to moderate severity.
On October 13, 2023, Santhera announced that the European Union’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive position in favor of AGAMREE® for the treatment of DMD patients aged 4 and older. In its recommendation for approval, CHMP acknowledged that there was a positive benefit-risk profile of AGAMREE® in such patient population, including certain safety benefits of AGAMREE® compared to standard of care corticosteroids in the treatment of DMD. On October 26, 2023, the U.S. FDA approved Santhera’s NDA for AGAMREE® for use in treating DMD in patients aged two years and older. As part of the previously described transaction, Santhera is in the process of transferring the approved New Drug Application to us.
We currently expect to launch AGAMREE® in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2024. We anticipate minimal sales and marketing personnel expansion to market AGAMREE®, with approximately 10 additional commercial team members required, due to the synergy of this product within our existing neuromuscular franchise. We will support the distribution of AGAMREE® through our Catalyst Pathways® patient services program to ensure that patients have access to a dedicated, personalized support team that assists families through the AGAMREE® patient journey, from answering questions to coordinating financial assistance programs for eligible patients.
We have established a joint steering committee with Santhera that will oversee the development of AGAMREE® for additional indications beyond DMD. Under our License Agreement with Santhera, we have agreed to purchase commercial supply of AGAMREE® from Santhera at agreed upon rates.
Business Development
We continue to advance our strategic initiatives and portfolio expansion efforts, focusing on broadening and diversifying our rare Neurology product portfolio with innovative therapies that address critical unmet medical needs and expanding the geographical footprint of our existing products. In that regard, we are currently exploring clinically differentiated and adequately de-risked opportunities, with a keen focus on products to treat rare neurological and epileptic diseases. These prospects include evaluating companies with existing commercial drug products or drugs in development, for potential partnerships, licensing, geographical expansion opportunities with our existing products, and/or asset acquisitions. We continue to employ a disciplined, comprehensive, and exhaustive approach to identifying and evaluating opportunities that we believe will add significant value to our company over the near, mid, and long term. However, no additional definitive agreements have been entered into to date, and there can be no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
Capital Resources
At September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $121.0 million. Subsequent to the end of the quarter and filing of this report, we became obligated to make a payment of $36 million to Santhera as a result of the FDA’s approval of the NDA for AGAMREE®, which we will pay during the fourth quarter of 2023. Based on our current financial condition and forecasts of available cash, we believe that we have sufficient funds to support our operations for at least the next 12 months.
There can be no assurance that (i) we will continue to be successful in commercializing FIRDAPSE® and FYCOMPA®, (ii) we will be able to successfully commercialize AGAMREE®, or (iii) we will continue to be profitable and cash flow positive. Further, there can be no assurance that if we need additional funding in the future, whether such funding will be available to us on acceptable terms. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further information on our liquidity and cash flow.

Basis of Presentation
Revenues.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated revenues from product sales of FIRDAPSE® primarily in the U.S. and FYCOMPA® in the U.S. We expect these revenues to fluctuate in future periods based on our sales of FIRDAPSE® and FYCOMPA®. We received approval from Health Canada on July 31, 2020, for FIRDAPSE® for the symptomatic treatment of LEMS and as of December 31, 2020, we had launched FIRDAPSE® in Canada. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues generated under our collaboration agreement with KYE Pharmaceuticals were immaterial. We expect our revenues from the KYE collaboration agreement to fluctuate in future periods based on our collaborator’s ability to sell FIRDAPSE® in Canada.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we did not generate revenues under our collaborative agreement with Endo. We do not expect to generate revenue in future periods as a result of Endo informing us subsequent to quarter end that they are discontinuing work on the collaboration for development and commercialization of vigabatrin and that they wish to terminate the arrangement.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated $0 and $0.5 million, respectively, in revenues from our collaborative agreement with DyDo. We expect our revenue from the DyDo license agreement to fluctuate in future periods based on DyDo’s ability to meet various regulatory milestones set forth in such agreement.
Cost of Sales.
Cost of sales consists of third-party manufacturing costs, freight, royalties, and indirect overhead costs associated with sales of our products. Cost of sales may also include period costs related to certain inventory manufacturing services, inventory adjustments charges, unabsorbed manufacturing and overhead costs and manufacturing variances.
Research and Development Expenses.
Our research and development expenses consist of costs incurred for company-sponsored research and development activities, as well as support for selected investigator-sponsored research. The major components of research and development costs include acquired IPR&D, preclinical study costs, clinical manufacturing costs, clinical study and trial expenses, insurance coverage for clinical trials, consulting, and other third-party costs, salaries and employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, supplies and materials, and allocations of various overhead costs related to our product development efforts. Prior to January 2023, all of our research and development resources have been devoted to the development of FIRDAPSE®, CPP-109 (our version of vigabatrin), and formerly CPP-115, and until we acquire or license new products we currently expect that our future development costs will be attributable principally to the continued development of FIRDAPSE®, FYCOMPA® and AGAMREE®.
Our cost accruals for clinical studies and trials are based on estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with numerous clinical study and trial sites and clinical research organizations (CROs). In the normal course of our business we contract with third parties to perform various clinical study and trial activities in the on-going development of potential products. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows. Payments under the contracts depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events or milestones, the successful enrollment of patients, the allocation of responsibilities among the parties to the agreement, and the completion of portions of the clinical study or trial or similar conditions. The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our consolidated financial statements to the actual services received and efforts expended. As such, expense accruals related to preclinical and clinical studies or trials are recognized based on our estimate of the degree of completion of the event or events specified in the specific study or trial contract. We monitor service provider activities to the extent possible; however, if we underestimate activity levels associated with various studies or trials at a given point in time, we could be required to record significant additional research and development expenses in future periods. Preclinical and clinical study and trial activities require significant up-front expenditures. We anticipate paying significant portions of a study or trial’s cost before they begin and incurring additional expenditures as the study or trial progresses and reaches certain milestones.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
During 2019, we actively committed funds to developing our commercialization program for FIRDAPSE® and we have continued to incur substantial commercialization expenses, including sales, marketing, patient services, patient advocacy and other commercialization related expenses as we have continued our sales program for FIRDAPSE®. We are also now incurring substantial commercialization expenses for FYCOMPA® and we anticipate incurring substantial commercialization expenses for AGAMREE® as we prepare for the planned launch of AGAMREE® during the first quarter of 2024.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel expenses for accounting, corporate, compliance, and administrative functions. Other costs include administrative facility costs, regulatory fees, insurance, and professional fees for legal including litigation cost, information technology, accounting, and consulting services.
37
Amortization of Intangible Assets.
Amortization of intangible assets consists of the amortization of the FYCOMPA® product rights, which are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 5 years, and the RUZURGI® product rights, which are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 14.5 years. We expect to capitalize the $36 million of milestone payments to be paid to Santhera during the fourth quarter of 2023 and amortize over the product’s estimated useful life of 10.5 years.
Stock-Based Compensation.
We recognize expense for the fair value of all stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). For stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option valuation model in calculating the fair value of the awards.
Income Taxes.
Our effective income tax rate is the ratio of income tax expense (benefit) over our income before income taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
For discussion of recently issued accounting standards, please see Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” in the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For a full discussion of our accounting policies, please refer to Note 2 on the Financial Statements included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed with the SEC on March 15, 2023. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include: accounting for revenue recognition, valuation of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on the terms of underlying agreements, our expected course of development, historical experience and other factors that we believe are reasonable based on the circumstances, the results of which form our management’s basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $102.6 million and $287.4 million, respectively, in net revenue from product sales primarily in the U.S. compared to $57.2 million and $153.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. FIRDAPSE® net sales were approximately $66.2 million and $188.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and FYCOMPA® net sales were approximately $36.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $98.8 million for the period between January 24, 2023 (date of acquisition) and September 30, 2023. All net revenue from product sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were from sales of FIRDAPSE®.
The increases of approximately $45.4 million and $134.1 million in net product revenues when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were due to the acquisition of FYCOMPA® during January 2023, and related product sales, and increases in FIRDAPSE® sales volumes of approximately 9% and 14%, respectively, (which included patients who were transferred to FIRDAPSE® in the first and second quarter of 2022 when RUZURGI® was removed from the market) and net price increases.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we also recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in license and other revenue, as compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
38
Cost of Sales.
Cost of sales was approximately $14.2 million and $36.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $9.7 million and $23.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cost of sales in both periods consisted principally of royalty payments, which are based on net revenue as defined in the applicable license agreements. For FIRDAPSE®, royalties are payable on the terms set forth below in Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations and Arrangements, and increase by 3% when net sales (as defined in the applicable license agreement) exceed $100 million in any calendar year. Cost of sales for FYCOMPA® for the first three quarters of 2023 consisted of product costs and excludes the amortization of the FYCOMPA® intangible assets. See Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
Amortization of Intangible Assets.
Amortization of intangible assets was approximately $8.5 million and $23.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.5 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Amortization of intangible assets consists of the amortization of the FYCOMPA® rights, which are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 5 years, and the RUZURGI® rights, which are amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 14.5 years. We also will amortize the $36 million of milestone payments to be paid to Santhera during the fourth quarter of 2023 over AGAMREE®’s estimated useful life of 10.5 years.
Research and Development Expenses.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $83.7 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and represented approximately 60% and 26% of total operating costs and expenses, respectively. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses increased approximately $75.4 million and $75.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in both periods is primarily attributable to the $81.5 million IPR&D purchase consideration for the acquisition of the license in North America for vamorolone during the third quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by decreases in costs relating to closing out sites for both our MuSK-MG clinical trial and our previously operated expanded access program.
We expect that research and development expenses will continue to be substantial in 2023 and beyond as we execute on our strategic initiative and portfolio expansion efforts, with a keen focus on products to treat rare neurological and epileptic diseases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $33.6 million and $13.6 million, respectively, and represented approximately 24% and 42% of total operating costs and expenses, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $19.9 million and $48.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the direct fees payable under the transition services agreement associated with net product sales of FYCOMPA® of approximately $14.5 million, increases of approximately $12.6 million in selling (commercialization) expenses due to the acquisition of FYCOMPA®, which consist primarily of commercial systems implementation costs, hiring of the sales force and supporting personnel, to the timing of our commitments to make contributions to 501(c)(3) organizations supporting LEMS patients of approximately $1.1 million, and an approximately $13.2 million increase in employee compensation and stock based compensation related to annual merit increases and the increase in headcount resulting from the acquisition of FYCOMPA®.
We expect that selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to be substantial in future periods as we continue our efforts to increase our revenues from FIRDAPSE®, continue our efforts to market FYCOMPA®, take steps to prepare for the commercial launch of AGAMREE® in 2024, and take steps to continue to expand our business.
Stock-Based Compensation.
Total stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $3.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. In the first three quarters of 2023 and 2022, grants were principally for stock options relating to year-end bonus awards and grants to new employees.
Other Income (Expense), Net.
We reported other income (expense), net in all periods, primarily relating to our investment of our cash and cash equivalents of ($0.8) million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the same periods in 2022, respectively. The decrease in other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of approximately $1.7 million when compared to the same period in 2022, respectively, is primarily due to lower invested balances and $1.8 million of interest expense related to payments arising from our acquisition of RUZURGI®. The increase in other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of approximately $2.0 million when compared to the same period in 2022, respectively, is primarily due to higher yields on investments offset by $1.8 million of interest expense related to payments arising from our acquisition of RUZURGI®.
Since Santhera’s shares are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange, they have a readily determinable fair value, and as a result the investment will be measured quarterly, at fair value, with changes reported in other income (expense), net.

Income Taxes.
Our effective income tax rate was 23.5% and 19.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Differences in our effective tax and the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% are driven by state income taxes and anticipated annual permanent differences offset by equity compensation deductions. Our effective tax rate is affected by many factors, including the number of stock options exercised in any period, and our effective tax rate is likely to fluctuate in future periods (and may be higher in future periods than it was in the first nine months of 2023).
We had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Net Income (Loss).
Our net income (loss) was ($30.8) million and $36.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (($0.29) and $0.34, respectively, per basic share and ($0.29) and $0.32, respectively, per diluted share) as compared to net income (loss) of $22.7 million and $57.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 ($0.22 and $0.56, respectively, per basic and $0.20 and $0.52, respectively, per diluted share).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through multiple offerings of our securities, since January 2019, from revenues from product sales of FIRDAPSE®, and since January 2023, from revenues from product sales of FYCOMPA®. At September 30, 2023 we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $121.0 million and working capital of $134.2 million. At December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $298.4 million and working capital of $263.2 million. On January 24, 2023, we used approximately $162 million of our cash and cash equivalents to acquire the U.S. rights to FYCOMPA®. In July 2023, we paid (i) approximately $95 million to Santhera as part of the closing of the transactions described above, and (ii) $10 million to Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. due in connection with our July 2022 acquisition of RUZURGI®. At September 30, 2023, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were deposited with one financial institution, and such balances were in excess of federally insured limits. Further, as of such date, substantially all such funds were invested in money market accounts and U.S. Treasuries.
Based on forecasts of available cash, we believe that we have sufficient resources to support our currently anticipated operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. There can be no assurance that we will remain profitable or that we will be able to obtain any additional funding that we may require in the future.
In the future, we may require additional working capital to support our operations depending on our future success with FIRDAPSE® and FYCOMPA® sales, or the products we acquire and continue to develop and whether our results continue to be profitable and cash flow positive. There can be no assurance as to the amount of any such funding that will be required for these purposes or whether any such funding will be available to us if and when it is required.
In that regard, our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
• | the cost of diligence in seeking potential acquisitions and of the completion of such acquisitions, if any future acquisitions occur; |
• | future clinical trial results; |
• | the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other product development activities; |
• | the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish; |
• | the cost and timing of regulatory approvals; |
41
• | the cost and delays in product development as a result of any changes in regulatory oversight applicable to our products; |
• | the level of revenues that we report from sales of FIRDAPSE® and FYCOMPA®; |
• | the effect of competition and market developments; |
• | the cost of filing and potentially prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and |
• | the extent to which we acquire or invest in other products. |
We may raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means. We also may seek governmental grants for a portion of the required funding for our clinical trials and preclinical trials. We may further seek to raise capital to fund additional business development activities, even if we have sufficient funds for our planned operations. Any sale by us of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that any such required additional funding will be available to us at all or available on terms acceptable to us. Further, to the extent that we raise additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or grant sublicenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more research and development programs, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
On September 8, 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to sell up to $500 million of common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock, debt securities and units consisting of one or more of such securities (the 2023 Shelf Registration Statement). The 2023 Shelf Registration Statement (file no. 333-274427) became effective upon filing. As of the date of this report, no offerings have been completed under the Company’s 2023 Shelf Registration Statement.
Cash Flows.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $88.0 million and $76.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. During nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to our net income of $36.6 million, a decrease of $1.9 million in inventory, an increase of $0.6 million in accounts payable, $79.3 million in acquired IPR&D and $35.8 million of non-cash expenses. This was partially offset by increases of $18.7 million in deferred taxes, $37.6 million in accounts receivable, net, $7.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and decreases of $2.4 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities and $0.3 million in operating lease liability. The increase in accounts receivable, net, primarily relates to sales of FYCOMPA®, which has a longer cash collection cycle than FIRDAPSE®. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to our net income of $57.6 million, decreases of $0.7 million in inventory, $0.6 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, increases of $4.9 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities, $3.7 million in deferred taxes, $4.1 million in acquired research and development inventory expensed from asset acquisition and $7.6 million of non-cash expenses. This was partially offset by increases of $2.7 million in accounts receivable, net and decreases of $0.2 million in accounts payable and $0.2 million in operating lease liability.
Net cash used in investing activities was $255.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consisting primarily of payment in connection with the FYCOMPA® asset acquisition and acquired IPR&D and purchase of equity securities in connection with the vamorolone acquisition. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $9.2 million and consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $19.2 million, offset partially by payment for asset acquisition of $10.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $10.2 million, consisting primarily of payment of liabilities arising from asset acquisition partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.6 million consisting primarily of repurchases of common stock offset partially by proceeds from exercise of stock options.

Contractual Obligations and Arrangements.
We have entered into the following contractual arrangements with respect to sales of FIRDAPSE®:
• | Payments due under our license agreement for FIRDAPSE®. We currently pay the following royalties under our license agreement: |
• | Royalties to our licensor for seven years from the first commercial sale of FIRDAPSE® equal to 7% of net sales (as defined in the License Agreement) in North America for any calendar year for sales up to $100 million, and 10% of net sales in North America in any calendar year in excess of $100 million; and |
• | Royalties to the third-party licensor of the rights sublicensed to us from the first commercial sale of FIRDAPSE® equal to 7% of net sales (as defined in the License Agreement between BioMarin and the third-party licensor) in any calendar year for the duration of regulatory exclusivity within a territory and 3.5% for territories in any calendar year in territories without regulatory exclusivity. |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an aggregate of approximately $10.9 million and $27.7 million, respectively, of royalties payable under these license agreements, which is included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Further, if DyDo is successful in obtaining the right to commercialize FIRDAPSE® in Japan, we will pay royalties to our licensor on net sales in Japan equal to a similar percentage to the royalties that we are currently paying under our original license agreement for North America.
• | Payments due to Jacobus. In connection with our July 2022 settlement with Jacobus, we agreed to pay the following consideration to Jacobus: |
• | $30 million of cash, of which $10 million was paid at the closing of the settlement on July 11, 2022, $10 million was paid on the first anniversary of closing and the remaining $10 million will be paid on the second anniversary of closing; |
• | An annual royalty on Catalyst’s net sales (as defined in the License and Asset Purchase Agreement between Catalyst and Jacobus) of amifampridine products in the United States equal to: (a) for calendar years 2022 through 2025, 1.5% (with a minimum annual royalty of $3.0 million per year), and (b) for calendar years 2026 through the expiration of the last to expire of Catalyst’s FIRDAPSE® patents in the United States, 2.5% (with a minimum annual royalty of $5 million per year); provided, however, that the royalty rate may be reduced and the minimum annual royalty may be eliminated under certain circumstances; and |
• | If Catalyst were to receive a priority review voucher for FIRDAPSE® or RUZURGI® in the future, 50% of the consideration paid by a third party to acquire that voucher will be paid to Jacobus. |
Royalties will be trued up at the end of the year to the extent that royalties on net sales are below the minimum royalty.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an aggregate of approximately $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of royalties payable to Jacobus.
We have entered into the following contractual arrangements with respect to sales of FYCOMPA®:
• | Payments due under our asset purchase agreement for FYCOMPA®. In connection with our asset purchase agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai): |
• | $160 million upfront cash payment plus $1.6 million for reimbursement of certain prepayments, which was paid upon closing. Eisai is also eligible to receive a contingent payment of $25 million if a patent extension for FYCOMPA® until June 8, 2026 is approved by the USPTO; |
• | Royalties commencing on loss of exclusivity for each calendar year during the royalty term equal to 12% on net sales greater than $10 million and less than $100 million, 17% on net sales of greater than $100 million and less than $125 million and 22% on net sales greater than $125 million prior to the date of generic entry. Royalties equal to 6% on net sales greater than $10 million and less than $100 million, 8.5% on net sales of greater than $100 million and less than $125 million and 11% on net sales greater than $125 million after the date of generic entry. |
• | Concurrently with the acquisition, the parties entered into two related agreements: (i) a short-term Transition Services Agreement for commercial and manufacturing services and (ii) a long-term Supply Agreement for the manufacturing of FYCOMPA®. Under the Transition Services Agreement, Eisai is providing certain commercial and manufacturing services to the Company for a transition period following the closing of the acquisition. Further, under the Supply Agreement, Eisai will manufacture FYCOMPA® for the Company for a period of seven years (or such longer period as is set forth in the Supply Agreement) following the closing of the acquisition. |
43
We have entered into the following contractual arrangements with respect to vamorolone:
• | Payments due under our license agreement for vamorolone. In connection with our recent acquisition from Santhera Pharmaceuticals Holdings (Santhera): |
• | $75 million initial cash payment, which was paid upon closing. |
• | Regulatory milestone payment of $36 million upon regulatory approval by the FDA in the U.S. of an NDA for the product for the treatment of DMD. Since approval of the NDA was received on October 26, 2023, we are now obligated to pay this amount (and such payment will be made during the fourth quarter of 2023). Additional regulatory milestone payments upon regulatory approval by the FDA in the U.S. of an NDA for the product for the first, second, and third additional indications in the amount of $50 million, $45 million, and $45 million, respectively. |
• | Sales-based milestone payments if the applicable amount of net sales of all products in the territory in a single calendar year reach one of more of the net sales threshold levels set forth in the license agreement. |
• | Until January 1, 2026, we are obligated to purchase all of the requirements for product solely from Santhera, and Santhera is required to manufacture, supply, and sell product to us at an agreed upon supply price. |
• | Simultaneously, we made a strategic equity investment into Santhera by acquiring 1,414,688 of Santhera’s post reverse-split ordinary shares (representing approximately 11.26% of Santhera’s outstanding ordinary shares following the transaction) at an investment price of CHF 9.477 per share (corresponding to a mutually agreed volume-weighted average price prior to signing), with the approximately $15 million USD in equity investment proceeds to be used by Santhera for Phase IV studies in DMD and further development of additional indications for vamorolone. |
We also have entered into the following contractual arrangements:
• | Employment agreements. We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer that required us to make base salary payments of approximately $0.7 million in 2023. The agreement expires in November 2024. However, on July 25, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer announced his intention to retire by the end of 2023. |
• | Purchase commitment. We have entered into a purchase commitment with a contract manufacturing organization for approximately $0.5 million per year. The agreement expires in December 2023. |
• | Lease for office space. We operate our business in leased office space in Coral Gables, Florida. We entered into an agreement in May 2020 that amended our lease for office facilities. Under the amended lease, our leased space increased from approximately 7,800 square feet of office space to approximately 10,700 square feet of office space. We moved into the new space around March 1, 2021 when the space became available for use. We pay annual rent of approximately $0.5 million. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as such term is defined in rules promulgated by the SEC.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of market risk-sensitive instruments caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents that are from time to time invested in highly liquid money market funds and U.S. Treasuries. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Our cash and investments policy emphasizes liquidity and preservation of principal over other portfolio considerations.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
a. | We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized or reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports was accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. |
b. | During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could have a material effect, or are reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our internal control over financial reporting. |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Paragraph IV Patent Litigation
In January 2023, we received Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letters from three generic drug manufacturers advising us that they had each submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to the FDA seeking authorization from the FDA to manufacture, use or sell a generic version of FIRDAPSE® in the United States. The notice letters each allege that our six patents listed in the FDA Orange Book covering FIRDAPSE® are not valid, not enforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the proposed product described in these ANDA submissions. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, we had 45 days from receipt of the notice letters to commence patent infringement lawsuits against these generic drug manufacturers in a federal district court to trigger a stay precluding FDA from approving any ANDA until May 2026 or entry of judgment holding the patents invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, whichever occurs first. In that regard, after conducting the necessary due diligence, we filed lawsuits on March 1, 2023 in the U.S. Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the three generic drug manufacturers who notified us of their ANDA filings. The Company recently received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from a fourth generic drug manufacturer, which the Company is currently reviewing.
We intend to vigorously protect and defend our intellectual property for FIRDAPSE® and, although there can be no assurance, we believe that our patents will protect FIRDAPSE® from generic competition for the life of our patents.
On February 20, 2023, we received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from a company that appears to have filed the first ANDA for the oral suspension formulation for FYCOMPA®. The same company sent a similar letter to us later in February with a similar certification for the tablet formulation for FYCOMPA®, the fourth such certification for this formulation. Both of these letters were paragraph IV certifications of non-infringement, non-validity, and unenforceability to the ‘497 patent for FYCOMPA® but each application, like the previous Paragraph IV notices from ANDA filers, for FYCOMPA® tablets does not challenge the ‘571 patent. Similar to our actions with the FIRDAPSE® Paragraph IV Certifications described above, after due diligence we filed lawsuits on April 5, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the drug manufacturer who notified us of their ANDA submissions for both FYCOMPA® formulations, thus triggering the 30 month stay for each application.
Other Litigation
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth above, we believe that there is no litigation pending at this time that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
There are many factors that affect our business, our financial condition, and the results of our operations. In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully read and consider “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I, and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, which contain a description of significant factors that might cause our actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In March 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $40 million of our common stock, pursuant to a repurchase program under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Act (the Share Repurchase Program). The Share Repurchase Program commenced on March 22, 2021. At present, we are not purchasing shares under our share repurchase program, but rather we are retaining cash for use in our business development activities. The following table presents information regarding repurchases by us of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program during the three months ended September 30, 2023:

Organization and Description of Business |
Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiary (collectively, the Company) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on in-licensing, developing, and commercializing novel high-quality medicines for patients living with rare diseases and diseases that are difficult to treat. With exceptional patient focus, the Company is committed to developing and commercializing innovative first-in-class The Company’s New Drug Application for FIRDAPSE ® (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg for the treatment of adults with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) was approved in 2018 by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and FIRDAPSE® is commercially available in the United States as a treatment for adults with LEMS. Further, Canada’s national healthcare regulatory agency, Health Canada, approved the use of FIRDAPSE® for the treatment of adult patients in Canada with LEMS in 2020 and FIRDAPSE® is commercially available in Canada for the treatment of patients with LEMS through a license and supply agreement with KYE Pharmaceuticals. Finally, in the third quarter of 2022, the FDA approved the Company’s sNDA approving an expansion of the FIRDAPSE® label to include pediatric patients (ages six and older). On December 17, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) for the acquisition of the United States rights to FYCOMPA ® (perampanel) CIII, a prescription medication used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat focal onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures in people with epilepsy aged four and older and with other medicines to treat primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in people with epilepsy aged 12 and older. The Company closed the acquisition of FYCOMPA® on January 24, 2023 and the Company is marketing FYCOMPA® in the United States. In July 2023, the Company completed its acquisition from Santhera Pharmaceuticals Holdings (Santhera) of an exclusive license for North America for vamorolone, a potential treatment for patients suffering with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The license is for exclusive commercial rights in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, as well as the right of first negotiation in Europe and Japan should Santhera pursue partnership opportunities. Additionally, the Company will hold North American rights for any future approved indications of vamorolone. Vamorolone has previously received FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations. Subsequent to quarter end, on October 26, 2023, AGAMREE ® (vamorolone) was approved by the FDA for commercialization in the U.S. See Note 17 (Subsequent Events). Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, raising capital, and selling its products. The Company incurred operating losses in each period from inception and started reporting operating income during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has been able to fund its cash needs to date through offerings of its securities and from revenues from sales of its products. See Note 15 (Stockholders’ Equity). Capital Resources Based on forecasts of available cash, the Company believes that it has sufficient resources to support the currently anticipated operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report. The Company may raise funds in the future through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations, governmental research grants or other means. The Company may also seek to raise new capital to fund additional business development activities, even if it has sufficient funds for its planned operations. Any sale by the Company of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to the Company’s current stockholders. There can be no assurance that any required additional funding will be available to the Company at all or available on terms acceptable to the Company. Further, to the extent that the Company raises additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to the Company’s drug candidates or grant sublicenses on terms that are not favorable to the Company. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding when needed, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more research and development programs, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Risks and Uncertainties There are numerous aspects of the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic that have adversely affected the Company’s business since the beginning of the pandemic. The Company closely monitors the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business and takes steps, wherever possible, to lessen those impacts. However, the Company is unable to predict the impact that the coronavirus pandemic will have on its business in future periods. |

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of the dates and for the periods presented. Accordingly, these consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full 2023 fiscal year.
The U.S. Treasuries held at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are classified as available-for-sale non-current investments in its consolidated balance sheets. There are no short-term investments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company records available-for-sale available-for-sale available-for-sale available-for-sale The Company has made a strategic non-current investment in Santhera. See Note 13 (Agreements). The Company records these types of investments as equity method investments or as equity securities based on the percentage of ownership and whether the Company has a significant influence over the operations of the investee. For investments classified as equity securities, the Company records changes in fair value as other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the closing price per share at the end of each reporting period, unless the equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value. Investments that are considered equity securities as of September 30, 2023 are carried at fair value. There were no investments in equity securities as of December 31, 2022.
Products that have been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, such as FIRDAPSE ® and FYCOMPA® , are also used in clinical programs to assess the safety and efficacy of the products for usage in treating diseases that have not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. The forms of FIRDAPSE® and FYCOMPA® utilized for both commercial and clinical programs is identical and, as a result, the inventory has an “alternative future use” as defined in authoritative guidance. Raw materials associated with clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and no longer can be used for commercial purposes and, therefore, does not have an “alternative future use”. The Company evaluates for potential excess inventory by analyzing current and future product demand relative to the remaining product shelf life. The Company builds demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance, and patient usage.
Refer to Notes 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) and 13 (Agreements) for further discussion on the Company’s exclusive license agreement with Jacobus Pharmaceutical Company, Inc (Jacobus), for the rights to develop and commercialize RUZURGI ® in the United States and Mexico, which the Company accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50. Refer to Note 13 (Agreements) for further discussion on the Company’s acquisitions of the U.S. rights to FYCOMPA® from Eisai Co., Ltd, and on the exclusive license for North America acquired from Santhera for vamorolone, both of which the Company accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50.
The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, an impairment test is performed to assess the recoverability of the affected assets by determining whether the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the affected assets are deemed not recoverable, the Company would estimate the fair value of the assets and record an impairment loss.
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging the excess of the repurchase price over the repurchased common stock’s par value entirely to retained earnings. All repurchased shares are retired and become authorized but unissued shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. The Company may terminate or modify its share repurchase program at any time.
Product Revenues: To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations by assessing whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. For a complete discussion of accounting for product revenue, see Product Revenue, Net below. The Company also may generate revenues from payments received under collaborative and license agreements. Collaborative and license agreement payments may include nonrefundable fees at the inception of the agreements, contingent payments for specific achievements designated in the agreements, and/or net profit-sharing payments on sales of products resulting from the collaborative and license arrangements. For a complete discussion of accounting for collaborative and licensing arrangements, see Revenues from Collaboration and Licensing Arrangements below. The Company recognizes revenue when its customer for FIRDAPSE ® and its customers for FYCOMPA® obtain title of the promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods. For FIRDAPSE® , subsequent to receiving FDA approval, the Company entered into an arrangement with one distributor (the Customer), which is the exclusive distributor of FIRDAPSE® in the United States. The Customer subsequently resells FIRDAPSE® to a small group of exclusive specialty pharmacies (SPs) whose dispensing activities for patients with specific payors may result in government-mandated or privately negotiated rebate obligations for the Company with respect to the purchase of FIRDAPSE® . The Company sells FYCOMPA® , through a Transition Service Agreement with Eisai, directly to major wholesalers, specialty pharmaceutical distributors, managed care organizations, and government agencies. FYCOMPA® customer contracts generally consist of both a master agreement, which is signed by the Company and its customer, and a customer submitted purchase order, which is governed by the terms and conditions of the master agreement. These customers purchase FYCOMPA® product, through the Transition Service Agreement, by direct channel sales from the Company or by indirect channel sales through various distribution channels. Product Revenue, Net: ® to the Customer (its exclusive distributor) who subsequently resells FIRDAPSE® to both a small group of SPs who have exclusive contracts with the Company to distribute the Company’s products to patients and potentially to medical centers or hospitals on an emergency basis. The Company sells FYCOMPA® , through the Transition Service Agreement, directly to customers subject to both master agreements and purchase orders. In addition to the distribution agreement with its Customer and FYCOMPA® customer contracts, the Company enters into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes revenue on product sales when the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time (upon delivery or upon dispense to patient). Product revenue is recorded net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including discounts and allowances. The Company’s payment terms range between 15 and 30 days. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods and are recorded in cost of sales. If taxes should be collected from the Customer relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities, they will be excluded from revenue. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that the Company would have recognized is one year or less. However, no such costs were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, substantially all of the Company’s product revenues were from sales to customers in the United States. The following table summarizes the Company’s net product revenue disaggregated by product (in thousands):
Reserves for Variable Consideration: ® customers, payors, and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s sale of its products. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the Customer or its FYCOMPA® customers) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than the Customer or FYCOMPA® customers). These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted in accordance with the expected value method in Topic 606 for relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted Customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. The Company’s analyses also contemplates application of the constraint in accordance with the guidance, under which it determined a material reversal of revenue would not occur in a future period for the estimates detailed below as of September 30, 2023 and, therefore, the transaction price was not reduced further during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. Trade Discounts, Allowances and Wholesaler Fees: ® customers with a discount that is explicitly stated in its contract and is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company receives sales order management, transactional data and distribution services from the Customer. To the extent the services received are distinct from the sale of FIRDAPSE® to its Customer and the sale of FYCOMPA® to its customers, these payments are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). However, if the Company has determined such services received are not distinct from the Company’s sale of products to the Customer or to its FYCOMPA® customers, these payments have been recorded as a reduction of revenue within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) through September 30, 2023 and 2022, as well as a reduction to accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Prompt Payment Discounts: ® customers with prompt payment discounts which may result in adjustments to the price that is invoiced for the product transferred, in the case that payments are made within a defined period. The prompt payment discount reserve is based on actual invoice sales and contractual discount rates. Reserves for prompt payment discounts are included in accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Funded Co-pay Assistance Program:co-pay assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially-insured patients. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with its products, that have been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. These payments are considered payable to the third-party vendor and the related reserve is recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Product Returns: ® customers limited product return rights for damaged and expiring product, provided it is within a specified period around the product expiration date as set forth in the applicable individual distribution or master agreement. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customer or its FYCOMPA® customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. These payments are considered payable to the third-party vendor and the related reserve is recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has an insignificant amount of returns to date and believes that returns of its products will continue to be minimal. Provider Chargebacks and Discounts: ® is extended below wholesaler list price to participating entities (the FYCOMPA® Participants). These entities purchase FYCOMPA® through wholesalers at the lower program price and the wholesalers then charge the Company the difference between their acquisition cost and the lower program price. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue, net and accounts receivable, net. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider by the Customer or at the time of a resale to a FYCOMPA ® Participant by a wholesaler, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of the Customer’s or wholesalers’ notification to the Company of the resale. Reserves for chargebacks consist primarily of chargebacks that the Customer or wholesalers have claimed, but for which the Company has not yet issued a credit. Government Rebates: The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter, and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but which remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. Bridge and Patient Assistance Programs: ® free of charge to uninsured patients who satisfy pre-established criteria for either the Bridge Program or the Patient Assistance Program. Patients who meet the Bridge Program eligibility criteria and are transitioning from investigational product while they are waiting for a coverage determination, or later, for patients whose access is threatened by the complications arising from a change of insurer may receive a temporary supply of free FIRDAPSE® while the Company is determining the patient’s third-party insurance, prescription drug benefit or other third-party coverage for FIRDAPSE® . The Patient Assistance Program provides FIRDAPSE® or FYCOMPA® free of charge for longer periods of time for those who are uninsured or functionally uninsured with respect to FIRDAPSE® or FYCOMPA® because they are unable to obtain coverage from their payor despite having health insurance, to the extent allowed by applicable law. The Company provides FYCOMPA ® free of charge to uninsured patients who satisfy pre-established criteria through a Patient Assistance Program. In addition, Catalyst provides programs to assist patients through the process for obtaining reimbursement approval for their FYCOMPA® prescriptions from their insurers. Catalyst also provides support for patients using FYCOMPA® through an Instant Savings Card Program. The Company does not recognize any revenue related to these free products and the associated costs are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenues from Collaboration and Licensing Arrangements: The Company analyzes license and collaboration arrangements pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangement Guidance and Consideration (Topic 808), to assess whether such arrangements, or transactions between arrangement participants, involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities or are more akin to a vendor-customer relationship. In making this evaluation, the Company considers whether the activities of the collaboration are considered to be distinct and deemed to be within the scope of the collaborative arrangement guidance or if they are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of Topic 606. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are not accounted for pursuant to guidance in Topic 606, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, generally by analogy to the revenue from contracts with customers guidance. The Company evaluates the performance obligations promised in the contract that are based on goods and services that will be transferred to the customer and determines whether those obligations are both (i) capable of being distinct and (ii) distinct in the context of the contract. Goods or services that meet these criteria are considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the transaction price based on the amount expected to be received for transferring the promised goods or services in the contract. The consideration may include fixed consideration or variable consideration. The agreements provide for milestone payments upon achievement of development and regulatory events. The Company accounts for milestone payments as variable consideration in accordance with Topic 606. At the inception of each arrangement that includes variable consideration, the Company evaluates the amount of potential transaction price and the likelihood that the transaction price will be received. The Company utilizes either the most likely amount method or expected value method to estimate the amount expected to be received based on which method best predicts the amount expected to be received. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Arrangements that include rights to additional goods or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and, if so, these options are considered performance obligations. After contract inception, the transaction price is reassessed at every period end and updated for changes such as resolution of uncertain events. Any change in the overall transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on the same methodology used at contract inception. The Payments to and from the collaborator are presented in the statement of operations based on the nature of the Company’s business operations, the nature of the arrangement, including the contractual terms, and the nature of the payments. Refer to Note 11 (Collaborative and Licensing Arrangements), for further discussion on the C om pany’s collaborative and licensing arrangements.
The Company sells its product, FIRDAPSE ® , in the United States through an exclusive distributor (its Customer) to SPs. Therefore, its distributor and SPs account for principally all of its trade receivables and net product revenues. The creditworthiness of its Customer is continuously monitored, and the Company has internal policies regarding customer credit limits. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit loss primarily based on the credit worthiness of its Customer, historical payment patterns, aging of receivable balances and general economic conditions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two products, which makes it difficult to evaluate its current business, predict its future prospects, and forecast financial performance and growth. The Company had invested a significant portion of its efforts and financial resources in the development and commercialization of its lead product, FIRDAPSE ® . The Company expects FIRDAPSE® and the recently acquired product FYCOMPA® to constitute virtually all of the Company’s product revenue through the end of 2023. The Company relies exclusively on third parties to formulate and manufacture FIRDAPSE ® , FYCOMPA® and any future drug candidates. The commercialization of FIRDAPSE® , FYCOMPA® , and any other drug candidates, if approved, could be stopped, delayed or made less profitable if those third parties fail to provide sufficient quantities of product or fail to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices. The Company does not intend to establish its own manufacturing facilities. The Company is using the same third-party contractors to manufacture, supply, store and distribute drug supplies for clinical trials and for the commercialization of FIRDAPSE® . It also relies on Eisai as its sole source of supply for FYCOMPA® . If the Company is unable to continue its relationships with one or more of these third-party contractors, it could experience delays in the development or commercialization efforts as it locates and qualifies new manufacturers. The Company intends to rely on one or more third-party contractors to manufacture the commercial supply of its drugs.
Royalties incurred in connection with the Company’s license agreement for RUZURGI ® , as disclosed in Note 13 (Agreements), are expensed to cost of sales as revenue from product sales is recognized for any royalties in excess of the minimum annual royalty payment from July 11, 2022 (the Effective Date) through 2025. The minimum royalty payment that exists annually for calendar years from the Effective Date through 2025 of
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019. If the Company were to subsequently record an unrecognized tax benefit, associated penalties and tax related interest expense would be reported as a component of income tax expense.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period. The following table reconciles basic and diluted weighted average common shares:
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 12.1 million shares of outstanding common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because a net loss was reported and therefore their effect was anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive options to purchase common stock for the three months ending September 30, 2023, had exercise prices ranging from $1.13 to $19.02. Outstanding

Collaborative and Licensing Arrangements |
Endo In December 2018, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (Collaboration) with 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 (Par). Under the Collaboration, Endo assumes all development, manufacturing, clinical, regulatory, sales and marketing costs under the collaboration, while the Company is responsible for exercising commercially reasonable efforts to develop, or cause the development of, a final finished, stable dosage form of generic Sabril® tablets. Under the terms of the Collaboration, the Company has received an up-front payment, and will receive a milestone payment, and a sharing of defined net profits upon commercialization from Endo consisting of a mid-double digit percent of net sales of generic Sabril® . The Company has also agreed to a 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. The Company evaluated the license agreement with Endo to determine whether it is a collaborative arrangement for purposes of Topic 808. As the Company shares in the significant risks and rewards, the Company has concluded that this is a collaborative arrangement. As developing a final finished dosage form of a generic product in exchange for consideration is not an output of the Company’s ongoing activities, Endo does not represent a contract with a customer. However, Topic 808 does not provide guidance on the recognition of consideration exchanged or accounting for the obligations that may arise between the parties. The Company concluded that ASC Topic 730, Research and Development The collaborative agreement included a nonrefundable upfront license fee that was recognized upon receipt following execution of the collaborative arrangement for vigabatrin tablets. The collaborative agreement provides for a $2.0 million milestone payment on the commercial launch of the product by Endo/Par. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, no milestone payments have been earned. See Note 17 (Subsequent Events). There were no revenues from this collaborative arrangement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. There were no expenses incurred, net, in connection with the collaborative arrangement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. KYE Pharmaceuticals Inc. In August 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with KYE Pharmaceuticals Inc. (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 will receive an up-front payment, received payment upon transfer of Marketing Authorization and delivery of commercial product, received payment for supply of FIRDAPSE® , 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 a 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. This agreement is in form identified as a collaborative agreement and the Company has concluded for accounting purposes that it also represents a contract with a customer. This is because the Company grants to KYE a license and provides supply of FIRDAPSE ® in exchange for consideration, which are outputs of the Company’s ongoing activities. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that this collaborative arrangement will be accounted for pursuant to Topic 606. 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 exists at the point in time in which the license is granted. Under the arrangement, the Company will receive profit-sharing reports within nine days after quarter end from KYE. Revenue from sales of FIRDAPSE ® by KYE is recognized in the quarter in which the sales occurred. Revenues from the arrangement with KYE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were t material. Revenue is included in product revenue, net and license and other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Expenses incurred, net have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). 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 may earn further development and sales 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 exists at the point in time in which the right to the license is 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 later 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. There were $0 and $0.5 million in revenue from the arrangement with DyDo for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which is included in product revenue, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There were revenues of $0 and $0.5 million from the arrangement with DyDo for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, which is included in product revenue, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2023, no milestone payments have been earned. |

Commitments and Contingencies |
In May 2019, the FDA approved a New Drug Application (NDA) for RUZURGI ® , Jacobus Pharmaceuticals’ version of amifampridine (3,4-DAP), for the treatment of pediatric LEMS patients (ages 6 to under 17). In June 2019 the Company filed suit against the FDA and several related parties challenging this approval and related drug labeling. Jacobus later intervened in the case. The Company’s complaint, which was filed in the federal district court for the Southern District of Florida, alleged that the FDA’s approval of RUZURGI® violated multiple provisions of FDA regulations regarding labeling, resulting in misbranding in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA); violated the Company’s statutory rights to Orphan Drug Exclusivity and New Chemical Entity Exclusivity under the FDCA; and was in multiple other respects arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. Among other remedies, the suit sought an order vacating the FDA’s approval of RUZURGI® . On July 30, 2020, the Magistrate Judge considering this lawsuit filed a Report and Recommendation in which she recommended to the District Judge handling the case that she grant the FDA’s and Jacobus’ motions for summary judgment and deny the Company’s motion for summary judgment. On September 29, 2020, the District Judge adopted the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, granted the FDA’s and Jacobus’ motions for summary judgment, and dismissed the Company’s case. The Company appealed the District Court’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11 th Circuit. The case was fully briefed in early 2021, and oral argument was held in March 2021. On September 30, 2021, a three-judge panel of 11 th Circuit judges issued a unanimous decision overturning the District Court’s decision. The appellate court adopted the Company’s argument that the FDA’s approval of RUZURGI® violated the Company’s rights to Orphan Drug Exclusivity and remanded the case to the District Court with orders to enter summary judgment in the Company’s favor. In November 2021, Jacobus filed a motion seeking rehearing of the case from the full 11th Circuit, which motion was denied in January 2022. Further, in January 2022, Jacobus filed motions with both the 11th Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a stay of the 11th Circuit’s ruling indicating that it would seek a review of the 11th Circuit’s decision from the U.S. Supreme Court. Both stay motions were denied, and on January 28, 2022, the 11th Circuit issued a mandate directing the District Court to enter summary judgment in the Company’s favor. The District Court entered that order on January 31, 2022. On February 1, 2022, the FDA informed Jacobus that, consistent with the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit’s September 30, 2021, decision in favor of Catalyst, the final approval of the RUZURGI® 7-year orphan-drug exclusivity (ODE) for FIRDAPSE® has expired. On July 11, 2022, the Company settled certain of its disputes with Jacobus. In connection with the settlement, the Company licensed the rights to develop and commercialize RUZURGI ® in the United States and Mexico (the Territory). Simultaneously, the Company purchased, among other intellectual property rights, Jacobus’ U.S. patents related to RUZURGI® , its new drug applications in the United States for RUZURGI® , and certain RUZURGI® inventory previously manufactured by Jacobus. At the same time, the Company received a license from Jacobus for use of its know-how related to the manufacture of RUZURGI® . Further, the Company settled its patent case against Jacobus, which was dismissed without prejudice. Finally, Jacobus agreed that until the later of (i) the expiration of the royalty term or (ii) December 31, 2034, Jacobus and its affiliates, will not, directly or indirectly, research, develop, manufacture, commercialize, distribute, use or otherwise exploit any product competitive to FIRDAPSE® or RUZURGI® in the Territory, and Laura Jacobus, the sole shareholder of Jacobus, and two of Jacobus’ other officers, also signed individual non-competition agreements containing the same terms. In connection with the settlement with Jacobus, the Company agreed to pay the following consideration to Jacobus:
Royalties will be trued up at the end of the year to the extent that royalties on net sales are below the minimum royalty. The ® for the symptomatic treatment of LEMS was approved when Health Canada issued a Notice of Compliance, or NOC, on July 31, 2020. In August 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with KYE Pharmaceuticals, or KYE, pursuant to which the Company licensed to KYE the Canadian rights for FIRDAPSE® for the treatment of LEMS. On August 10, 2020, Health Canada issued a NOC to Medunik (Jacobus’ licensee in Canada for RUZURGI® ) for the treatment of LEMS. Shortly thereafter, the Company initiated a legal proceeding in Canada seeking judicial review of Health Canada’s decision to issue the NOC for RUZURGI® as incorrect and unreasonable under Canadian law due to Medunik’s use of Catalyst’s protected data in its application. After two decisions by the trial judge to quash the RUZURGI® approval and remand the matter back to Health Canada, the Canadian Federal Appellate Court overturned the trial judge’s decision. The Minister subsequently reapproved RUZURGI® ’s NOC for Canada. In January 2023, the Company received Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letters from three generic drug manufacturers advising that they had each submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to the FDA seeking authorization from the FDA to manufacture, use or sell a generic version of FIRDAPSE ® in the United States. The notice letters each alleged that the six patents listed in the FDA Orange Book covering FIRDAPSE® are not valid, not enforceable, and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the proposed product described in these ANDA submissions. Under the FDCA, as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, the Company had 45 days from receipt of the notice letters to commence patent infringement lawsuits against these generic drug manufacturers in a federal district court to trigger a stay precluding the FDA from approving any ANDA until May 2026 or entry of judgment holding the patents invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed, whichever occurs first. In that regard, after conducting the necessary due diligence, the Company filed lawsuits on March 1, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against each of the three generic drug manufacturers who notified the Company of their ANDA submissions, thus triggering the stay.The Company recently received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from a fourth generic drug manufacturer, which the Company is currently reviewing. On February 20, 2023, the Company received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter from a company that appears to have filed the first ANDA for the oral suspension formulation for FYCOMPA ® . The same company sent a similar letter to the Company later in February with a similar certification for the tablet formulation for FYCOMPA® , the fourth such certification for this formulation. Both of these letters were paragraph IV certifications of non-infringement, non-validity, and unenforceability to the ‘497 patent for FYCOMPA® but each application, like the previous Paragraph IV notices from ANDA filers, for FYCOMPA® tablets does not challenge the ‘571 patent. Similar to the actions with the FIRDAPSE® Paragraph IV Certifications described above, after due diligence the Company filed lawsuits on April 5, 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the drug manufacturer who notified the Company of their ANDA submissions for both FYCOMPA® formulations, thus triggering the 30 month stay for each application. Additionally, from time to time the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as set forth above, the Company believes that there is no other litigation pending at this time that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

On May 29, 2019, the Company and BioMarin entered into an amendment to the Company’s license agreement for FIRDAPSE ® . Under the amendment, the Company has expanded its commercial territory for FIRDAPSE® , which originally was comprised of North America, to include Japan. Additionally, the Company’s commercial territory will be expanded under the license agreement to include most of Asia, as well as Central and South America, upon the acceptance by the MHLW of a Japan MAA for FIRDAPSE® for LEMS. Under the amendment, the Company will pay royalties to our licensor on net sales in Japan of a similar percentage to the royalties that the Company is currently paying under its original license agreement for North America. In January 2020, the Company was advised that BioMarin has transferred certain rights under the license agreement to SERB S.A.
Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company paid Jacobus a $10 million up-front payment on the Effective Date and also paid will be paid ® being marketed or sold in the United States. A minimum royalty payment exists annually for calendar years from the Effective Date through 2025 of $3 million, provided that such minimum annual royalty payment shall be prorated in the first calendar year of the agreement. As these minimum payments are both probable and estimable, they are included in the purchase price of the agreement and any royalties in excess of this amount will be charged to cost of sales as revenue from product sales is recognized. A minimum royalty payment exists annually for calendar years from 2026 through the expiration of the royalty term (which ends when there is no valid claim under the Company’s FIRDAPSE ® patents in the United States) of $5 million unless a competing product or generic version of FIRDAPSE® is being marketed or sold in the United States. If these minimum payments become probable in the future, the Company would recognize a contingent liability at that time with an offset to the value of the intangible asset acquired. Any royalties in excess of this amount will be charged to cost of sales as revenue from product sales is recognized. Royalties over the minimum, if any, will be paid based on the agreement terms on a quarterly basis. Assets acquired as part of the license agreement include among other intellectual property rights, Jacobus’ U.S. patents related to RUZURGI ® , its new drug applications in the United States for RUZURGI® , its Trademark for RUZURGI® , the Orphan Drug Designation for RUZURGI® and a license from Jacobus for use of its know-how related to the manufacture of RUZURGI® . Additionally, the Company also purchased from Jacobus approximately $4.1 million of RUZURGI ® inventory previously manufactured by Jacobus, which were recorded as an expense in research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the third quarter of 2022. Under business combination guidance, the screen test states that if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not considered a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company has determined that the screen test was not met. However, the Company determined that the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, Business Combination. The Company believes that the licensing agreement and other assets acquired from Jacobus are similar and considered them all to be intangible assets with the exception of the inventory acquired. As the screen test was not met, further determination was required to determine that the Company had not acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs, which would meet the requirements of a business, and therefore, determined that this was an asset acquisition. The Company accounted for the Jacobus license agreement as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity on a relative fair value basis, which includes consideration given. The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair values, as follows (in thousands):

Eisai ® , the Company may be obligated to pay certain royalties to Eisai on net sales of FYCOMPA® . As the Transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition under U.S. GAAP, the Company will recognize the royalty payments in cost of sales as revenue from product sales is recognized. Royalties commencing on loss of exclusivity for each calendar year during the royalty term equal to 12% on net sales greater than $10 million and less than $100 million, 17% on net sales of greater than $100 million and less than $125 million and 22% on net sales greater than $125 million prior to the date of generic entry. Royalties equal to 6% on net sales greater than $10 million and less than $100 million, 8.5% on net sales of greater than $100 million and less than $125 million and 11% on net sales greater than $125 million after the date of generic entry. The following table summarizes the aggregate amount paid for the assets acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of FYCOMPA ® (in thousands):
The acquisition of FYCOMPA ® has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with FASB ASC 805-50. The Company accounted for the acquisition of FYCOMPA® as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, the FYCOMPA® product rights. The FYCOMPA® products rights consist of certain patents and trademarks, at-market contracts and regulatory approvals, marketing assets, and other records, and are considered a single asset as they are inextricably linked. ASC 805-10-55-5A The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair values, as follows (in thousands):
The straight-line method is used to amortize the license and acquired intangibles, as disclosed in Note 9 (License and Acquired Intangibles, Net).
In July 2023, the Company completed its acquisition from Santhera of an exclusive license for North America for vamorolone, a potential treatment for patients suffering with DMD. The license is for exclusive commercial rights in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, as well as the right of first negotiation in Europe and Japan should Santhera pursue partnership opportunities. Additionally, the Company will hold North American rights for any future approved indications of vamorolone. As of September 30, 2023, vamorolone was not approved for sale in the U.S. but had received FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations and had been granted a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of October 26, 2023. The Company made an all-cash initial payment of $75 million at the closing of the acquisition to acquire the license. See Note 17 (Subsequent Events). Simultaneously , the ), which are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange, funds invested into Santhera t be used by Santhera for Phase IV studies in DMD and further development of additional indications for vamorolone. The Company may also be obligated under certain circumstances to make milestone payments and to pay royalties to Santhera. o The following table summarizes the aggregate amount paid for the assets acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisition of vamorolone and the strategic equity investment (in thousands):
The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset, the rights to develop, commercialize and manufacture vamorolone. The vamorolone rights consist of certain licenses and regulatory approvals and are considered a single asset as they are inextricably linked. ASC 805-10-55-5A non-financial assets based on relative fair values. The total purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair values, as follows (in thousands):
In accordance with FASB ASC 730-10-25, s with Santhera) was immediately expensed to research and development. Milestone payments made, if any, will either be expensed as research and development or capitalized as a developed asset based on the when regulatory approval is obtained. As the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition under U.S. GAAP, the Company will recognize all sales-based milestone and royalty payments in cost of sales as revenue from product sales is recognized. See Note 17 (Subsequent Events). The strategic equity investment in Santhera is accounted for as an investment in equity securities, and is recognized as a non-current asset, as the Company does not intend on selling the shares within 12 months. Since Santhera shares have a readily determinable fair value, the investment will be measured quarterly at fair value with changes reported in earnings in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

INVENTORY |
Products that have been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, such as FIRDAPSE ® and FYCOMPA® , are also used in clinical programs to assess the safety and efficacy of the products for usage in treating diseases that have not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. The forms of FIRDAPSE® and FYCOMPA® utilized for both commercial and clinical programs is identical and, as a result, the inventory has an “alternative future use” as defined in authoritative guidance. Raw materials associated with clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and no longer can be used for commercial purposes and, therefore, does not have an “alternative future use”. The Company evaluates for potential excess inventory by analyzing current and future product demand relative to the remaining product shelf life. The Company builds demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance, and patient usage.

The Company reviews intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, an impairment test is performed to assess the recoverability of the affected assets by determining whether the carrying amount of such assets exceeds the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the affected assets are deemed not recoverable, the Company would estimate the fair value of the assets and record an impairment loss.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

REVENUE RECOGNITION |
Product Revenues: To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations by assessing whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. For a complete discussion of accounting for product revenue, see Product Revenue, Net below. The Company also may generate revenues from payments received under collaborative and license agreements. Collaborative and license agreement payments may include nonrefundable fees at the inception of the agreements, contingent payments for specific achievements designated in the agreements, and/or net profit-sharing payments on sales of products resulting from the collaborative and license arrangements. For a complete discussion of accounting for collaborative and licensing arrangements, see Revenues from Collaboration and Licensing Arrangements below. The Company recognizes revenue when its customer for FIRDAPSE ® and its customers for FYCOMPA® obtain title of the promised goods, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods. For FIRDAPSE® , subsequent to receiving FDA approval, the Company entered into an arrangement with one distributor (the Customer), which is the exclusive distributor of FIRDAPSE® in the United States. The Customer subsequently resells FIRDAPSE® to a small group of exclusive specialty pharmacies (SPs) whose dispensing activities for patients with specific payors may result in government-mandated or privately negotiated rebate obligations for the Company with respect to the purchase of FIRDAPSE® . The Company sells FYCOMPA® , through a Transition Service Agreement with Eisai, directly to major wholesalers, specialty pharmaceutical distributors, managed care organizations, and government agencies. FYCOMPA® customer contracts generally consist of both a master agreement, which is signed by the Company and its customer, and a customer submitted purchase order, which is governed by the terms and conditions of the master agreement. These customers purchase FYCOMPA® product, through the Transition Service Agreement, by direct channel sales from the Company or by indirect channel sales through various distribution channels. Product Revenue, Net: ® to the Customer (its exclusive distributor) who subsequently resells FIRDAPSE® to both a small group of SPs who have exclusive contracts with the Company to distribute the Company’s products to patients and potentially to medical centers or hospitals on an emergency basis. The Company sells FYCOMPA® , through the Transition Service Agreement, directly to customers subject to both master agreements and purchase orders. In addition to the distribution agreement with its Customer and FYCOMPA® customer contracts, the Company enters into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes revenue on product sales when the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time (upon delivery or upon dispense to patient). Product revenue is recorded net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including discounts and allowances. The Company’s payment terms range between 15 and 30 days. Shipping and handling costs for product shipments occur prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods and are recorded in cost of sales. If taxes should be collected from the Customer relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities, they will be excluded from revenue. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that the Company would have recognized is one year or less. However, no such costs were incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, substantially all of the Company’s product revenues were from sales to customers in the United States. The following table summarizes the Company’s net product revenue disaggregated by product (in thousands):
Reserves for Variable Consideration: ® customers, payors, and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s sale of its products. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the Customer or its FYCOMPA® customers) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than the Customer or FYCOMPA® customers). These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted in accordance with the expected value method in Topic 606 for relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted Customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. The Company’s analyses also contemplates application of the constraint in accordance with the guidance, under which it determined a material reversal of revenue would not occur in a future period for the estimates detailed below as of September 30, 2023 and, therefore, the transaction price was not reduced further during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. Trade Discounts, Allowances and Wholesaler Fees: ® customers with a discount that is explicitly stated in its contract and is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company receives sales order management, transactional data and distribution services from the Customer. To the extent the services received are distinct from the sale of FIRDAPSE® to its Customer and the sale of FYCOMPA® to its customers, these payments are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). However, if the Company has determined such services received are not distinct from the Company’s sale of products to the Customer or to its FYCOMPA® customers, these payments have been recorded as a reduction of revenue within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) through September 30, 2023 and 2022, as well as a reduction to accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Prompt Payment Discounts: ® customers with prompt payment discounts which may result in adjustments to the price that is invoiced for the product transferred, in the case that payments are made within a defined period. The prompt payment discount reserve is based on actual invoice sales and contractual discount rates. Reserves for prompt payment discounts are included in accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Funded Co-pay Assistance Program:co-pay assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially-insured patients. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with its products, that have been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. These payments are considered payable to the third-party vendor and the related reserve is recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Product Returns: ® customers limited product return rights for damaged and expiring product, provided it is within a specified period around the product expiration date as set forth in the applicable individual distribution or master agreement. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customer or its FYCOMPA® customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. These payments are considered payable to the third-party vendor and the related reserve is recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has an insignificant amount of returns to date and believes that returns of its products will continue to be minimal. Provider Chargebacks and Discounts: ® is extended below wholesaler list price to participating entities (the FYCOMPA® Participants). These entities purchase FYCOMPA® through wholesalers at the lower program price and the wholesalers then charge the Company the difference between their acquisition cost and the lower program price. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue, net and accounts receivable, net. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider by the Customer or at the time of a resale to a FYCOMPA ® Participant by a wholesaler, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of the Customer’s or wholesalers’ notification to the Company of the resale. Reserves for chargebacks consist primarily of chargebacks that the Customer or wholesalers have claimed, but for which the Company has not yet issued a credit. Government Rebates: The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter, and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but which remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. Bridge and Patient Assistance Programs: ® free of charge to uninsured patients who satisfy pre-established criteria for either the Bridge Program or the Patient Assistance Program. Patients who meet the Bridge Program eligibility criteria and are transitioning from investigational product while they are waiting for a coverage determination, or later, for patients whose access is threatened by the complications arising from a change of insurer may receive a temporary supply of free FIRDAPSE® while the Company is determining the patient’s third-party insurance, prescription drug benefit or other third-party coverage for FIRDAPSE® . The Patient Assistance Program provides FIRDAPSE® or FYCOMPA® free of charge for longer periods of time for those who are uninsured or functionally uninsured with respect to FIRDAPSE® or FYCOMPA® because they are unable to obtain coverage from their payor despite having health insurance, to the extent allowed by applicable law. The Company provides FYCOMPA ® free of charge to uninsured patients who satisfy pre-established criteria through a Patient Assistance Program. In addition, Catalyst provides programs to assist patients through the process for obtaining reimbursement approval for their FYCOMPA® prescriptions from their insurers. Catalyst also provides support for patients using FYCOMPA® through an Instant Savings Card Program. The Company does not recognize any revenue related to these free products and the associated costs are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenues from Collaboration and Licensing Arrangements: The Company analyzes license and collaboration arrangements pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangement Guidance and Consideration (Topic 808), to assess whether such arrangements, or transactions between arrangement participants, involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities or are more akin to a vendor-customer relationship. In making this evaluation, the Company considers whether the activities of the collaboration are considered to be distinct and deemed to be within the scope of the collaborative arrangement guidance or if they are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of Topic 606. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement. For elements of collaboration arrangements that are not accounted for pursuant to guidance in Topic 606, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, generally by analogy to the revenue from contracts with customers guidance. The Company evaluates the performance obligations promised in the contract that are based on goods and services that will be transferred to the customer and determines whether those obligations are both (i) capable of being distinct and (ii) distinct in the context of the contract. Goods or services that meet these criteria are considered distinct performance obligations. The Company estimates the transaction price based on the amount expected to be received for transferring the promised goods or services in the contract. The consideration may include fixed consideration or variable consideration. The agreements provide for milestone payments upon achievement of development and regulatory events. The Company accounts for milestone payments as variable consideration in accordance with Topic 606. At the inception of each arrangement that includes variable consideration, the Company evaluates the amount of potential transaction price and the likelihood that the transaction price will be received. The Company utilizes either the most likely amount method or expected value method to estimate the amount expected to be received based on which method best predicts the amount expected to be received. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Arrangements that include rights to additional goods or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and, if so, these options are considered performance obligations. After contract inception, the transaction price is reassessed at every period end and updated for changes such as resolution of uncertain events. Any change in the overall transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on the same methodology used at contract inception. The Payments to and from the collaborator are presented in the statement of operations based on the nature of the Company’s business operations, the nature of the arrangement, including the contractual terms, and the nature of the payments. Refer to Note 11 (Collaborative and Licensing Arrangements), for further discussion on the C
om pany’s collaborative and licensing arrangements. |

CONCENTRATION OF RISK |
The Company sells its product, FIRDAPSE ® , in the United States through an exclusive distributor (its Customer) to SPs. Therefore, its distributor and SPs account for principally all of its trade receivables and net product revenues. The creditworthiness of its Customer is continuously monitored, and the Company has internal policies regarding customer credit limits. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit loss primarily based on the credit worthiness of its Customer, historical payment patterns, aging of receivable balances and general economic conditions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had two products, which makes it difficult to evaluate its current business, predict its future prospects, and forecast financial performance and growth. The Company had invested a significant portion of its efforts and financial resources in the development and commercialization of its lead product, FIRDAPSE ® . The Company expects FIRDAPSE® and the recently acquired product FYCOMPA® to constitute virtually all of the Company’s product revenue through the end of 2023. The Company relies exclusively on third parties to formulate and manufacture FIRDAPSE
® , FYCOMPA® and any future drug candidates. The commercialization of FIRDAPSE® , FYCOMPA® , and any other drug candidates, if approved, could be stopped, delayed or made less profitable if those third parties fail to provide sufficient quantities of product or fail to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices. The Company does not intend to establish its own manufacturing facilities. The Company is using the same third-party contractors to manufacture, supply, store and distribute drug supplies for clinical trials and for the commercialization of FIRDAPSE® . It also relies on Eisai as its sole source of supply for FYCOMPA® . If the Company is unable to continue its relationships with one or more of these third-party contractors, it could experience delays in the development or commercialization efforts as it locates and qualifies new manufacturers. The Company intends to rely on one or more third-party contractors to manufacture the commercial supply of its drugs. |

INCOME TAXES |
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019. If the Company were to subsequently record an unrecognized tax benefit, associated penalties and tax related interest expense would be reported as a component of income tax expense. |

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 12.1 million shares of outstanding common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because a net loss was reported and therefore their effect was anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive options to purchase common stock for the three months ending September 30, 2023, had exercise prices ranging from $1.13 to $19.02. Outstanding |
