About this update from Fortress Biotech, Inc.

Total net revenue increased 20.5% to $17.6 million for third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024 Fortress subsidiary Checkpoint Therapeutics acquired by Sun Pharma; Fortress received ~$28 million at closing and is eligible to receive up to an additional $4.8 million under a contingent value right (CVR), plus a 2.5% royalty on future net sales of UNLOXCYT™ (cosibelimab-ipdl) Dotinurad, a next-generation URAT1 inhibitor, is advancing in two Phase 3 clinical trials with potential for best-in-class safety and efficacy following Crystalys Therapeutics’ $205 million Series A financing MIAMI , Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBIO) (“Fortress”), an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring and advancing assets to enhance long-term value for shareholders through product revenue, equity holdings and dividend and royalty income, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 . Lindsay A. Rosenwald , M.D., Fortress’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fortress has achieved several strategic milestones that reinforce the strength of our diversified business model and our continued ability to enhance shareholder value across our portfolio. The acquisition of two subsidiaries this year, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. (“Checkpoint”), by Sun Pharma and Baergic Bio, Inc. (“Baergic”) by Axsome Therapeutics (“Axsome”), are both strategic exits that represent validation of our approach. The sale of Checkpoint generated approximately $28 million in upfront consideration, with the potential for additional contingent value right (CVR) payments and future royalty income from sales of UNLOXCYT™ (cosibelimab-ipdl) to Fortress. We also anticipate the resubmission of the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for CUTX-101, which, upon approval, may qualify for a Priority Review Voucher—further demonstrating the potential embedded value in our pipeline. Journey Medical Corporation (“Journey Medical”) continues to deliver strong operational execution, highlighted by the successful launch of Emrosi™ and accelerating commercial performance, supported by expanded payer coverage and new pooled Phase 3 data analysis presented at Fall Clinical demonstrating Emrosi’s statistical and clinical superiority over Oracea® and placebo for the treatment of rosacea. Additionally, our late-stage pipeline continues to progress meaningfully, with dotinurad advancing in two Phase 3 trials for the treatment of gout. The $205 million Series A financing announced by Crystalys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Crystalys”) underscores the market’s confidence in dotinurad’s best-in-class potential for safety and efficacy. Urica Therapeutics’ (“Urica”) strategic sale of dotinurad to Crystalys last year, in exchange for equity and a 3% royalty on future net sales, further positions Fortress to participate in long-term value creation. As we move forward, Fortress remains focused on disciplined execution, optimizing our capital allocation, and advancing high-impact assets that drive sustainable growth and deliver innovative treatments to patients worldwide.” Recent Corporate Highlights 1 : Monetization Updates In November 2025 , Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (“Avenue”) announced the acquisition of its subsidiary Baergic by Axsome. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Baergic shareholders will receive a $0.3 million upfront payment (less transaction expenses) and are eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $2.5 million upon the occurrence of certain development and regulatory events for the first indication for AXS-17 (formerly known as BAER-101) and $1.5 million for each indication thereafter, up to $79 million in potential sales-based milestones, and a tiered mid-to-high single-digit royalty on potential global net sales of AXS-17. Avenue is eligible to receive ~74% of all future payments and royalties payable under the agreement. Avenue is a subsidiary of Fortress. In May 2025 , Fortress’ subsidiary, Checkpoint, was acquired by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and/or associated companies, “Sun Pharma”). Checkpoint was acquired for an aggregate upfront payment totaling ~$355 million and ~$60 million payable in a CVR, of which Fortress received approximately $28 million upfront, with the potential for an additional CVR payment of up to $4.8 million and a 2.5% royalty on future net sales of UNLOXCYT (cosibelimab-ipdl) to Fortress. Clinical Updates In October 2025 , the first patients were dosed in two randomized, double-blind, multicenter global Phase 3 trials evaluating dotinurad, a next-generation, once daily oral, URAT1 inhibitor with potential for best-in-class safety and efficacy for the treatment of gout. Also in October 2025 , we presented efficacy data from a pooled analysis of the two Phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active-comparator and placebo-controlled clinical trials, Minocycline Versus Oracea® in Rosacea-1 and Minocycline Versus Oracea in Rosacea-2, evaluating DFD-29 (40 mg Minocycline Hydrochloride Modified-Release Capsules, 10 mg immediate release and 30 mg extended release) (or “Emrosi™”) for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults, at the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference .
