SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potentially,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions in this report.
We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 19, 2025, and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report, including, among other things, risks associated with:
These risks are not exhaustive. Additional factors could harm our business and financial performance, such as risks associated with the current macroeconomic environment, including as a result of the impacts of fluctuations in inflation, and interest rates, tariffs and trade tensions, current or potential future bank failures or geopolitical instability and uncertainty. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this report by these cautionary statements.

1. Organization and Description of Business
Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (“Outlook” or the “Company”) was incorporated in New Jersey on January 5, 2010, started operations in July 2011, reincorporated in Delaware by merging with and into a Delaware corporation in October 2015 and changed its name to “Outlook Therapeutics, Inc.” in November 2018. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing ONS-5010/LYTENAVATM, an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in retinal indications. The Company is based in Iselin, New Jersey.
In May 2024 the Company received Marketing Authorization from the European Commission for LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma), an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”) in the European Union (“EU”). Additionally, in July 2024 the Company also received marketing authorization for LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) in the United Kingdom (“UK”) from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”). LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) is the first and only authorized ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in treating wet AMD in the EU and UK. In June 2025, the Company launched LYTENAVA commercially in both Germany and the UK, and commenced commercial sales in those countries.
In the fourth quarter of calendar 2023, the Company agreed to conduct an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial to support its Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. The Company submitted a Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”) for the NORSE EIGHT study in December 2023, and in January 2024 the FDA agreed that the protocol, if successful, would satisfy the requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled trial. The Company also identified approaches to address the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (“CMC”) comments in the Complete Response Letter (“CRL”). In November 2024, the Company announced that NORSE EIGHT did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint; however, results demonstrated improvements in vision, evidence of biologic activity, and a favorable safety profile, which were further supported by the full week 12 data set. The Company resubmitted the BLA in February 2025. On August 27, 2025, the FDA issued a second CRL citing a single deficiency related to substantial evidence of effectiveness and recommended submission of confirmatory efficacy data, while reaffirming that the NORSE TWO trial met its primary endpoint. Following a Type A meeting in September 2025, the Company resubmitted the BLA on November 3, 2025, and received a third CRL on December 31, 2025. On February 11, 2026, the Company reported that it had submitted a Type A meeting request with the FDA to discuss the CRL and potential regulatory pathways for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA.
2. Liquidity
The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $628,767,898 as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit. Additionally, the Company has $32,234,985 of principal, accrued interest and exit fees due under an unsecured convertible promissory note issued to Avondale Capital, LLC (“Avondale”) in March 2025 (the “March 2025 Note”), maturing on July 1, 2026. Refer to Note 7 for further details on the March 2025 Note.
On December 31, 2025, the Company did not satisfy the required $3,000,000 Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligation (as defined below in Note 7). The failure to make this required payment constituted a Major Trigger Event (as defined below in Note 7) under the March 2025 Note. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $6,285,000 of principal and accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,510,620 shares of the Company’s common stock. This Major Trigger Event has not resulted in an Event of Default (as defined below in Note 7).
Pursuant to the terms of the March 2025 Note, the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event resulted in (i) an automatic 10% increase to the outstanding balance, effective January 1, 2026, and (ii) an adjustment to the Conversion Price (as defined below). Following the adjustment, the Conversion Price is equal to the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $2.26 or 90% of the lowest closing bid price during the three trading days immediately preceding the delivery of a conversion notice, provided that the Conversion Price may not be reduced below the contractual floor price of $0.404. See Note 7 – Debt, for more information related to the March 2025 Note.
As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement (as defined below and described in additional detail in Note 9) and generated $2,425,000 in net proceeds after paying fees to BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”) and other issuance costs of $75,000.
Management does not believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, together with $2,425,000 in net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement since December 31, 2025, are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations in the future, fully commercialize ONS-5010/LYTENAVA and to develop any other product candidates. Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations, including but not limited to, proceeds from potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements or collaborations with pharmaceutical or other companies, sale of the development and commercial rights to the Company’s drug product candidates in regions outside of the U.S., the issuance of additional debt, the issuance of equity securities, including accessing capital through at-the-market offerings (refer to Note 9 for further details), and revenues from product sales. There can be no assurance that any of these future funding efforts will be successful.
The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including: (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above; (ii) the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, including executing marketing arrangements or completing revenue-generating partnerships with other companies; (iii) the success of its research and development; (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies; and, ultimately, (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s proposed future products.
3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2025 and its results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and stockholders’ deficit for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2026. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements presented herein do not contain all of the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended September 30, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 19, 2025.

Accounts Receivable
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no allowance for credit losses. An allowance for credit losses is determined based on the Company's assessment of the creditworthiness and financial condition of its customers, aging of receivables, as well as the general economic environment. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected.
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, computed on a weighted average basis. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities and, when appropriate, records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive the new cost basis, which takes into account the Company’s sales forecast and corresponding expiry dates. The Company has not recognized a provision for obsolete and excess inventory as of December 31, 2025.
Upon the initiation of production for the first commercial batches of drug product in October 2024, the Company began capitalizing the purchases of saleable inventory of the product from suppliers. The Company expenses prelaunch inventory as research and development expense in the period incurred unless objective and persuasive evidence exists that regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of a product candidate is probable and where the Company also expects the future economic benefit from the sales of the product candidate to be realized. There were no costs related to prelaunch inventory included in inventory as of December 31, 2025, and September 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, inventory consisted of the following:
Raw materials
2,350,239
Work-in-process
1,107,825
958,539
Finished goods
Total
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, such as the current macroeconomic environment, including as a result of fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, tariffs and trade tensions, and geopolitical instability and uncertainty, actual results may materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from sales of a single product, LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) (the “Product”) in accordance with ASC Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients in Europe in fiscal year 2025. The Company sells the Product to several customers who are pharmaceutical wholesalers/distributors (the “Customers”) who in turn sell the Product directly to clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies. Revenue is recognized as the Product is physically delivered to the customers.
Gross product sales are reduced by corresponding Gross-to-Net (“GTN”) estimates using the expected value method, resulting in the Company’s reported “Revenues, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Revenues, net reflects the amount the Company ultimately expects to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account the current period gross sales and related cash receipts and the subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that the Company

estimates for the various GTN categories discussed below. The GTN estimates are based upon information received from external sources, such as written or oral information obtained from customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales to end-users during the period, in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amount of product returns, rebates and administrative fees may be materially above or below the amount estimated. The variance between actual amounts and estimated amounts may result in prospective adjustments to the reported net product revenue.
Each of the GTN estimate categories are discussed below:
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company increased its returns reserve by $1,094,000 on product held by its UK distributor due to lower-than-forecasted sell-through. Returns reserves are reviewed quarterly and may be adjusted based on our ongoing assessment of business conditions and distributor-level sales forecasts. Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized administrative fees assessed under contractual arrangements with its wholesalers, which, together with the increase in the returns reserve, resulted in negative net revenue for the period.
Cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials for LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) sales. Prior to receiving authorization to sell LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) in Europe, the Company expensed costs associated with manufacturing of LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) as a component of research and development expense. The cost of previously expensed inventory that would have been recognized in cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were immaterial.
Net (loss) income per share
Basic net (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible debt, warrants, performance-based stock options and units, and stock options using the treasury stock method, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average common shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures primarily on the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This authoritative guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard on the Company's disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
4. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial
9
assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following table presents the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
(Level 1)
(Level 2)
(Level 3)

As further described in Note 7, the Company elected the fair value option to account for the unsecured convertible promissory notes. The fair value is estimated using a binomial lattice model, which evaluates the payouts under hold, convert or call decisions. Significant estimates in the binomial lattice model include the Company’s stock price, volatility, risk-free rate of return, and credit-adjusted discount rate.

5. Equity Method Investment
In connection with the execution of a stock purchase agreement with Syntone Ventures, LLC (“Syntone”), the United States-based affiliate of Syntone Technologies Group Co. Ltd. (“Syntone PRC”) on May 22, 2020, the Company and Syntone PRC entered into a joint venture agreement pursuant to which they agreed to form a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) joint venture, Beijing Syntone Biopharma Ltd (“Syntone JV”), that is 80% owned by Syntone PRC and 20% owned by the Company. As the Company can exert significant influence over, but does not control, Syntone JV’s operations through voting rights or representation on Syntone JV’s board of directors, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Upon formation of Syntone JV in April 2021, the Company entered into a royalty-free license with Syntone JV for the development, commercialization and manufacture of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the greater China market, which includes Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau.
The Company made the initial investment of $900,000 in June 2020 and is committed to making capital contributions to Syntone JV of approximately $2,100,000, based upon the development plan contemplated in the license agreement. The maximum exposure to a loss as a result of the Company’s involvement in Syntone JV is limited to the initial investment and the future capital contributions totaling approximately $3,000,000.

March 2025 Note
On March 13, 2025, the Company issued the March 2025 Note for $33,100,000 to Avondale pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) dated January 31, 2025. Certain terms of the March 2025 Note were approved at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on March 11, 2025.The net proceeds from the March 2025 Note were used to repay the Company’s unsecured convertible promissory note issued on December 22, 2022 (the “December 2022 Note”).
The March 2025 Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 3% (subject to a floor of 9.5%), is scheduled to mature on July 1, 2026, and is convertible into common stock. The Company must repay at least $3,000,000 (by cash or conversions into
12
common stock) of the outstanding balance on the March 2025 Note each quarter starting in the second calendar quarter of 2025 (subject to adjustments for conversions and to payment of a 7.5% exit fee) (the “Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations”). Any amount converted by Avondale during a given calendar quarter in excess of the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations will be credited toward meeting the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations for the next quarter or quarters. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $30,736 of accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,600 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Avondale has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance under the March 2025 Note into shares of common stock, calculated by dividing the amount of the March 2025 Note being converted by the Conversion Price. Furthermore, the Company retains the right to convert any portion of the outstanding balance under the March 2025 Note into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price, provided certain conditions are met at the time of conversion, including, but not limited to, the condition that the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $3.00 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits and combinations) for a continuous period of 30 trading days, and that the median daily dollar trading volume during the preceding 30 consecutive trading day period meets or exceeds $1,000,000. The Company reserves the right to make payments (i) in cash, (ii) in shares of common stock, calculated as the applicable payment amount divided by the Conversion Price, or (iii) a combination of both cash and shares of common stock. Any cash payments made by the Company, including prepayments or payments made at maturity, will incur an additional fee of 7.5%.
The March 2025 Note stipulates that the Company shall not permit any conversion of the March 2025 Note if, following such conversion, Avondale and its affiliates would beneficially own shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of the total number of outstanding shares as of that date (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). However, this limitation shall increase to 9.99% when the Company’s market capitalization falls below $25,000,000. Avondale may, by written notice to the Company, adjust the Beneficial Ownership Limitation for itself, though any such adjustment will not take effect until the 61st day after such notice is received.
In the event that specific occurrences outlined in the March 2025 Note transpire—such as the Company’s failure to fulfill payment obligations, non-compliance with the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations, insolvency or bankruptcy events, breaches of covenants in the Purchase Agreement and the March 2025 Note, and unauthorized transactions without Avondale's consent (collectively referred to as “Trigger Events”)—Avondale reserves the right to increase the balance of the March 2025 Note by 10% in the case of a Major Trigger Event (as defined in the March 2025 Note) and by 5% for a Minor Trigger Event (as defined in the March 2025 Note). Should any Trigger Event persist without resolution for ten trading days following written notification from Avondale, this will constitute an event of default (such event, an “Event of Default”). Upon an event of default, Avondale may accelerate the March 2025 Note, resulting in all amounts becoming immediately due and payable, with interest accruing at a rate of 22% per annum until full payment is made.
Under the terms of the March 2025 Note, the “Conversion Price” is defined as $2.26 per share prior to a Major Trigger Event (subject to adjustments for stock splits and combinations). Following a Major Trigger Event, the Conversion Price will be the lesser of (i) $2.26 per share (subject to adjustments) or (ii) 90% of the lowest closing bid price over the three trading days preceding the conversion notice. Furthermore, if the Conversion Price falls below $0.404 per share (subject to adjustments), the Company will be required to fulfill a conversion notice from Avondale in cash.
On December 31, 2025, the Company did not meet the required $3,000,000 Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligation. The failure to make this required payment constituted a Major Trigger Event under the March 2025 Note. This Major Trigger Event has not resulted in an Event of Default.
Pursuant to the terms of the March 2025 Note, the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event resulted in (i) an automatic 10% increase to the outstanding balance, effective January 1, 2026, and (ii) an adjustment to the Conversion Price. Following the adjustment, the Conversion Price is equal to the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $2.26 or 90% of the lowest closing bid price during the three trading days immediately preceding the delivery of a conversion notice, provided that the Conversion Price may not be reduced below the contractual floor price of $0.404.
13
The Company elected to account for the March 2025 Note at fair value (Note 4) and was not required to bifurcate the conversion option as a derivative and as a result the debt issuance costs of were written off upon election to fair value and accounted for as interest.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
On November 3, 2023, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The class action complaint alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements made by the Company related to the Company’s BLA during the period from August 3, 2021 through August 29, 2023. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 by failing to disclose that there was an alleged lack of evidence supporting ONS-5010/LYTENAVA as a treatment for wet AMD and that the Company and/or their manufacturing partner had deficient CMC controls for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, which remained unresolved at the time the Company’s BLA was re-submitted to the FDA and, as a result, the FDA was unlikely to approve the Company’s BLA, and that the Company’s stock price dropped when such information was disclosed. The plaintiffs in the class action seek damages and interest, and an award of reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees. On December 23, 2025, the court dismissed the plaintiffs’ second amended complaint in part with prejudice and in part with leave to amend. The deadline for the plaintiffs to file a third amended complaint is February 27, 2026.
On October 10, 2024, certain of the Company’s officers and directors were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative action filed in the District Court of the District of Delaware. The derivative complaint alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing and/or allowing the Company to violate federal securities laws based on the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action. The derivative complaint also alleges defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as claims for contribution, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The derivative complaint seeks unspecified damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution, contribution, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. The derivative action is currently stayed, pending the final resolution of the securities class action pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual defense and disposition costs will depend upon many unknown factors. The outcome of the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits is necessarily uncertain. The Company could be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of the pending lawsuits and any additional lawsuits, and the Company may not prevail. In addition, the Company may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with such lawsuits. The Company currently is not able to estimate the possible cost to it from these matters, as the pending lawsuits are currently at an early stage, and the Company cannot be certain how long it may take to resolve the pending lawsuits or the possible amount of any damages that the Company may be required to pay. Such amounts could be material to the Company’s financial statements if it does not prevail in the defense of the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits, or even if it does prevail. The Company has not established any reserve for any potential liability relating to the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits. It is possible that the Company could, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims for monetary damages.
Purchase Commitments
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding contractual commitments of approximately $955,050, primarily related to fill-finish manufacturing services for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA to be performed by its contract manufacturers.

A holder of warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage of the outstanding common stock (4.99%, 9.99% or 19.99%, as applicable), immediately after giving effect to such exercise, which may be increased or decreased at the holders’ option (not to exceed 19.99%), effective 61 days after written notice to the Company. In addition, the Company may require the holders to cash exercise the warrants under certain circumstances as follows: (i) if the VWAP of the common stock equals or exceeds $20.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, combinations or similar events, such as the reverse stock split implemented prior to Closing as discussed below) for 30 consecutive days (the “Stock Price Condition”) at any time after the Company publicly announces topline data from its NORSE EIGHT clinical trial evidencing satisfaction of the trial’s primary endpoints (the “NORSE EIGHT Announcement”), upon the consent of a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may require the holders to exercise up to 20% of the aggregate number of warrants issued to such holder on the issue date; and (ii) the Company may require up to the remainder of the warrants be exercised (A) if the Stock Price Condition is satisfied at any time after the Company publicly announces approval from the FDA of its BLA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, upon the consent of a majority of the members of the board of directors or (B) if the Stock Price Condition is satisfied at any time after the NORSE EIGHT Announcement, upon the unanimous consent of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors present at duly called meeting.

10. Stock-Based Compensation
2024 Equity Incentive Plan
In December 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan provided for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awards, performance stock awards and other forms of equity compensation to Company employees, directors and consultants. In August 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 2015 Plan, at which time, the name of the 2015 Plan was updated to the Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”).

As of December 31, 2025, there was $4,311,636 of unrecognized compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year.
The Company granted certain officers of the Company option awards whose vesting is contingent upon meeting company-wide performance goals. The performance stock options were granted “at-the-money” and have a term of 10 years.
The fair value of each option grant under the performance share option plan was estimated on the date of grant using the same option valuation model used for non-statutory options above. Compensation expense for performance-based stock options is only recognized when management determines it is probable that the awards will vest.

The vesting of the performance-based stock options is conditional upon FDA approval of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. The expense for the performance-based stock options is not recognized until the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement. The Company did not record any expense related to the performance-based stock options during the three months ended December 31, 2025 as the performance conditions were not deemed probable of being met. The Company did not record any expense related to the performance-based stock options during the three months ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company assessed that the performance conditions related to the performance options granted were not probable of achievement. The assessment was based on the relevant facts and circumstances and therefore no compensation costs were recognized.
11. Segment Information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has one reportable segment, which consists of the development and commercialization of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™, an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for the treatment of wet AMD. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates and manages the business on a consolidated basis for purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.
The accounting policies of the Company’s single segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. To date, the Company has generated insignificant product revenue. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it advances product candidates through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seek regulatory approval. The CODM assesses performance for its segment based on net loss, which is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The CODM uses budget versus forecasted expense and cash forecast models in making decisions. Such models are reviewed to assess the entity-wide operating results and performance, including how long cash is expected to be sufficient. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.

Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company that has developed LYTENAVATM (bevacizumab gamma) as the first and only ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab approved by the European Commission in the European Union, or EU, and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, in the United Kingdom, or UK, for use in adults for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration, or wet AMD. In June 2025, we launched directly into the initial markets of Germany and the UK and are planning for launches in other EU countries either directly or with a licensing partner. Additionally, we are attempting to receive approval for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the use of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA as a treatment for wet AMD in the United States. If approved in the U.S., our goal is to also launch directly in the United States as the first and only approved ophthalmic bevacizumab for the treatment of wet AMD. In addition to Europe and the United States, we may seek approval to launch the product in other markets outside of Europe and the U.S. either directly or with licensing partners.
Bevacizumab is a full-length, humanized anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) recombinant monoclonal antibody, or mAb, that inhibits VEGF and associated angiogenic activity. Prior to the approval of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the EU and UK, bevacizumab had only been approved for use in the treatment of various forms of cancer and had not been optimized for use in the treatment of retina diseases. Because there previously were no approved bevacizumab products for the treatment of retinal diseases in the United States and other major markets, we submitted standard biologic therapeutic applications and are not using the biosimilar drug regulatory pathway that would be required if bevacizumab were an approved drug for the targeted disease. Off-label repackaged bevacizumab is a frequently used first-line anti-VEGF treatment in Europe (approximately 2.8 million injections annually) and the United States (approximately 2.7 million injections annually) based on data compiled from various sources (Citeline (2023), Global Data (2023) and Market Scope (2022); ASRS 2024 Membership Survey; Market Scope 2024 US Retina Quarterly Updates; GlobalData: Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2028 (April 2020)). We believe ONS-5010/LYTENAVA has potential to mitigate risks associated with off-label use of unapproved bevacizumab. We believe there is significant opportunity in Europe with a total anti-VEGF retina market estimated to be approximately $3.6 billion, including approximately 1.52 million treated patients and approximately 8.3 million total anti-VEGF units (Global Data (2023); Market Scope (2022); IQVIA MIDAS data Q3 2023; Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology (2020) 258:503–511). We similarly see significant opportunity in the United States, with an estimated $8.5 billion total anti-VEGF retina market, where 55% of physician state off-label repackaged bevacizumab is the preferred
first-line product. It is estimated that 34% of the total anti-VEGF market is off-label bevacizumab (new and maintenance therapy) (Citeline (2023); Global Data (2023); Market Scope (2022); ASRS 2024 Membership Survey; Market Scope 2024 US Retina Quarterly Updates; GlobalData: Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Global Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2028 (April 2020)). We estimate the global market for anti-VEGF retina to be approximately $16 billion (Citeline (2023), Global Data (2023) and Market Scope (2022)).
In May 2024, the European Commission granted the Marketing Authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the EU. The decision applied automatically in all 27 EU Member States, and, within 30 days, also to Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. In July 2024, the MHRA granted marketing authorization for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD in the UK under the new International Recognition Procedure, or IRP, which allows the MHRA to rely on an authorization received for the same product from one of MHRA’s specified Reference Regulators, or RRs, when considering an application for marketing authorization in the UK. ONS-5010/LYTENAVA is the first and only authorized ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for use in treating wet AMD in the EU and UK.
Separately, in March 2022, we submitted a BLA to the FDA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD. In May 2022, we voluntarily withdrew our BLA to provide additional information requested by the FDA. We re-submitted the BLA to the FDA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in August 2022, and in October 2022, we received confirmation from the FDA that our BLA had been accepted for filing. In August 2023, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, in which the FDA concluded it could not approve the BLA during this review cycle due to several chemical, manufacturing and control, or CMC, issues, open observations from pre-approval manufacturing inspections, and a lack of substantial evidence. At subsequent Type A meetings with the FDA, we learned that the FDA required the completion of an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial evaluating ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, as well as additional requested CMC data indicated in the CRL to approve ONS-5010/LYTENAVA for use in wet AMD.
We agreed to conduct an additional adequate and well-controlled clinical trial following discussions with the FDA in support of our BLA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA. In December 2023, we submitted a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, to the FDA for this study (NORSE EIGHT) seeking confirmation that, if successful, it would address the FDA’s requirement for a second adequate and well-controlled clinical trial to support our planned resubmission of the ONS-5010/LYTENAVA BLA. In January 2024, we received confirmation that the FDA had reviewed and agreed upon the NORSE EIGHT trial protocol pursuant to the SPA. In November 2024, we reported that ONS-5010/LYTENAVA did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 set forth in the SPA. Analysis of the complete week 12 data set for NORSE EIGHT provided additional evidence of improvement in vision and biological activity. We resubmitted the BLA for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in February 2025. On August 27, 2025, we received a second CRL from the FDA. This CRL included only one deficiency, for a lack of substantial evidence of effectiveness. In the CRL, the FDA advised that, because ONS-5010 did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint in NORSE EIGHT, it was recommended that confirmatory evidence of efficacy be submitted to support the application for ONS-5010. Additionally, the FDA reiterated that NORSE TWO met its primary endpoint for effectiveness. Following a September 2025 Type A meeting with the FDA, we resubmitted the BLA in October 2025. On December 31, 2025, we reported that we had received a third CRL in which the FDA noted that the additional mechanistic and natural history data information provided in the BLA resubmission does not alter the previous review conclusion that while the one adequate and well-controlled study demonstrated efficacy, and the FDA has again recommended that confirmatory evidence of efficacy be submitted to support the application. However, the FDA did not indicate in the CRL what type of confirmatory evidence would be acceptable. On February 11, 2026, we reported that we have requested a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss the CRL and potential regulatory pathways for ONS-5010. If approved, we expect to receive 12 years of regulatory exclusivity in the United States.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Factors
Global uncertainty due to tariffs and global macroeconomic conditions may have a material adverse effect on our commercialization efforts. The global financial markets recently have experienced significant disruptions due to various macroeconomic factors, including, among other things, the impacts of fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, tariffs and trade tensions, and geopolitical instability and uncertainty. If these disruptions and slowdown deepen or persist, we may not be able to access additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could in the future negatively affect our ability to pursue our business strategy. There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the
22
countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty. The United States may continue to announce tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue developing new trade policies, including with respect to the pharmaceutical industry. In response, certain foreign governments have announced or implemented retaliatory tariffs and other protectionist measures. These developments have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Current or future tariffs will result in increased research and development expenses, including with respect to increased costs associated with raw materials, laboratory equipment and research materials and components. In addition, such tariffs will increase our supply chain complexity and could also potentially disrupt our existing supply chain. Trade restrictions and tariffs affecting the import of materials necessary for clinical trials could result in delays to our development timelines. Increased development costs and extended development timelines could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies operating in regions with more favorable trade relationships and could reduce investor confidence, negatively impacting our ability to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all. In addition, as we continue to expand our commercialization efforts, tariffs and trade restrictions could hinder our ability to establish cost-effective production capabilities, negatively impacting our growth prospects. We currently manufacture ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in the United States, which helps mitigate exposure to global tariff volatility. However, this concentration of manufacturing may adversely affect our pricing and competitiveness in the United Kingdom and European Union.
Going Concern
Through December 31, 2025, we have funded substantially all of our operations with $627.5 million in net proceeds from the sale and issuance of our equity and debt securities. We have also received $29.0 million pursuant to our collaboration and licensing agreements through such date. Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $23.1 million. We also had a net income of $17.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. We have not generated any significant revenue from product sales. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant sales of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA or any other product candidate we may develop.
On December 31, 2025, we did not meet the required $3.0 million Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligation, as defined below. The failure to make this required payment constituted a Major Trigger Event, as defined below, under the terms of the March 2025 Note, as defined below. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $6.3 million of principal and accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,510,620 shares of our common stock. This Major Trigger Event has not resulted in an Event of Default, as defined below.
Pursuant to the terms of the March 2025 Note, the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event resulted in (i) an automatic 10% increase to the outstanding balance, effective January 1, 2026, and (ii) an adjustment to the Conversion Price, as defined below. Following the adjustment, the Conversion Price is equal to the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $2.26 or 90% of the lowest closing bid price during the three trading days immediately preceding the delivery of a conversion notice, provided that the Conversion Price may not be reduced below the contractual floor price of $0.404. For additional information regarding the March 2025 Note, refer to Note 7 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, we sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement (as defined below), generating $2.4 million in net proceeds after deducting fees paid to BTIG, LLC, or BTIG, and other issuance costs, which were assessed as immaterial. For additional information regarding the ATM Agreement with BTIG, refer to Note 9 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We evaluated whether there are conditions or events considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, together with $2.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement since December 31, 2025, are sufficient to fund our operations through one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Components of our Results of Operations
We recognize revenue from sales of a single product, LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma), which became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients in the UK and Germany in June 2025.
Cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials for LYTENAVA sales. Prior to receiving authorization to sell LYTENAVA in Europe, we expensed costs associated with manufacturing of LYTENAVA as a component of research and development expense that would have been included in cost of revenues.
Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:
The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of, or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from any of our other product candidates. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the duration and cost of clinical trials, which vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of many factors, including:
Our expenditures are subject to additional uncertainties, including the terms and timing of regulatory approvals. We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our biosimilar product candidates. We may obtain unexpected results from our clinical trials. We may elect to discontinue, delay or modify clinical trials of some product candidates or focus on others. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the FDA or other regulatory authorities were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in enrollment in any of our clinical trials, we could be required
24
to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development. Full product commercialization will take several years and millions of dollars in additional costs.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size, complexity and duration of later-stage clinical trials.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of distribution expenses, salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, administrative, finance and legal functions, including stock-based compensation, travel expenses and recruiting expenses. Other general and administrative expenses include facility related costs, patent filing and prosecution costs and professional fees for business development, legal, auditing and tax services and insurance costs.
Following the launch of our product in Germany and the UK, we have incurred additional expenses related to commercial operations, including sales and marketing activities in these regions. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we expand our commercial presence and support ongoing operations in these markets, and as we prepare for potential launches in additional territories.
Loss on equity method investment represents our proportionate share for the period of the net loss of our investee to which the equity method of accounting is applied. We account for equity investments where we own a non-controlling interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting.
Interest income is earned from short term investments primarily money market investments.
The change in fair value relates to convertible promissory notes that we elected to account for at fair value. As permitted under ASC 825, we elected the fair value option to account for our convertible promissory notes. We recorded the convertible promissory note at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
We issued warrants to purchase our common stock in conjunction with convertible senior secured notes issued pursuant to a certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated December 22, 2017. Additionally, we issued warrants in connection with private placements that closed on March 18, 2024 and April 15, 2024. These warrants are categorized as liabilities and recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and we recognize any change in fair value in our statements of operations.
25
Income taxes
During the year ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a $1.6 million tax benefit related to previously recognized foreign withholding taxes associated with our collaboration and licensing agreements.
Since inception, we have not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefits (excluding the sale of New Jersey state NOLs and research credits) for the net losses we have incurred in each year or on our earned research and development tax credits, due to our uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. As of September 30, 2025, we had federal and state NOL carryforwards of $441.0 million and $243.6 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2030 and 2039, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we had federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $0.1 million available to reduce future tax liabilities, which begin to expire starting in 2024. As of September 30, 2025, we also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $11.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2032 and 2033, respectively.
In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred in the past. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and if we undergo an ownership change in connection with or after our initial public offering, our ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Our NOLs are also subject to international regulations, which could restrict our ability to utilize our NOLs.
Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or the OBBBA, was enacted in the United States. The legislation includes significant corporate tax reforms, including the permanent reinstatement of the ability to deduct domestic research and development expenditures as incurred beginning in fiscal 2026, replacing the previous requirement to capitalize and amortize such expenditures over five years. The OBBBA also introduces modifications to the international tax framework, including changes to the foreign-derived intangible income, or FDII, regime. Under the legislation, FDII is renamed foreign-derived deduction-eligible income, or FDDEI, with the current FDDEI effective tax rate of 13% maintained through fiscal 2026, followed by a permanent adjustment to a 14% rate beginning in fiscal 2027 (compared to 16% under prior law). The legislation contains multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others becoming effective in subsequent years. The effects of OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Segment reporting
We operate in a single reportable segment focused on the development and commercialization of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA™, an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for treating wet AMD. Our Chief Executive Officer serves as the chief operating decision maker, or CODM, and manages our operations on a consolidated basis.
Our segment’s accounting policies align with those outlined in the summary of significant accounting policies. To date, we have generated minimal product revenue and expect to continue incurring significant expenses and operating losses as we advance product candidates through development, clinical trials, and regulatory review.
The CODM evaluates segment performance based on net loss, as reported in our consolidated statements of operations, and uses budget-to-forecast comparisons and cash flow models to guide decision-making. Segment assets are reported as total assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, net revenue was negative $1.2 million, compared to zero for the same period in the prior year. The negative revenue was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in the returns reserve related to estimated product returns from our UK distributor due to lower-than-forecasted sell-through. We do not anticipate further adjustments for these batches in fiscal 2026. Returns reserves are reviewed quarterly and may be adjusted based on our ongoing assessment of business conditions and distributor-level sales forecasts. In addition, we recognized administrative fees assessed under contractual arrangements with our wholesalers during the three months ended December 31, 2025. When combined with the increase in the returns reserve, these fees contributed to the negative net revenue for the period.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was immaterial. Prior to receiving regulatory approval for LYTENAVA for the treatment of wet AMD by the European Commission in the EU and the MHRA in the UK, inventory and related manufacturing costs were recognized as research and development expenses. Accordingly, the research and development expenses that would have been classified as cost of revenues for the current period were also immaterial.
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses by functional area for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Total research and development expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $6.0 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $6.1 million in ONS-5010/LYTENAVA development expenses related to conducting the NORSE EIGHT clinical trial, which was initiated and began enrolling patients in January 2024 and completed enrollment in September 2024.
27
The following table summarizes our selling, general and administrative expenses by type for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
Total selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $3.3 million when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.6 million combined decrease in cash and stock-based compensation, which was primarily related to severance costs from the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer and reductions in headcount in December 2024. In addition, professional fees declined by $1.1 million due to ongoing efforts to reduce expenditures unrelated to launch activities. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in launch expenses associated with LYTENAVA in Europe.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 interest income was immaterial.
The change in fair value relates to the promissory notes that we elected to account for at fair value. As permitted under ASC 825, we elected the fair value option to account for our promissory note. We record the promissory note at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. The loss recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the favorable conversion feature triggered by the Major Trigger Event , as defined below, on December 31, 2025 and increased stock price volatility. The loss recognized in the comparative period was primarily due to a reduction in the remaining term of the instrument and increased volatility.
The loss recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2025 resulted from an increase in the price per share of common stock from March 31, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The gain recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to the reduction in the price per share of common stock from September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not generated any significant revenue from product sales. Since inception, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations. Through December 31, 2025, we have funded substantially all of our operations with $627.5 million in net proceeds from the sale and issuance of our equity securities, debt securities and borrowings under debt facilities. We have also received an aggregate of $29.0 million pursuant to emerging markets collaboration and licensing agreements for our inactive biosimilar development programs.
We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant sales of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA or any other product candidate we may develop. We will need additional financing to fund our operations in the future, fully commercialize ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, to develop any other product candidates and to continue as a going concern. Management is currently evaluating various strategic opportunities to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include but are not limited to potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements or collaborations with pharmaceutical or other companies, the issuance of equity securities, including
28
through an at-the-market offering program, the issuance of additional debt, and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. Alternatively, we may be required to, among other things, modify our clinical trial plans for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in additional indications, make reductions in our workforce, scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
On May 16, 2023, we entered into an At-the-Market Sales Agreement with BTIG, LLC, or BTIG, as sales agent, as amended, the ATM Agreement or the ATM Offering, under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through BTIG. Under the ATM Agreement, we pay BTIG a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of any sales of common stock under the ATM Agreement. The offering of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all common stock subject to the ATM Agreement or (ii) termination of the ATM Agreement in accordance with its terms.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we sold 10,227,166 shares of common stock under the ATM Offering and generated approximately $14.9 million in net proceeds after paying fees to BTIG and other issuance costs of $0.5 million.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, we sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement and generated $2.4 million in net proceeds after paying fees to BTIG and other issuance costs assessed as immaterial.
On December 22, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and issued an unsecured convertible promissory note with a face amount of $31.8 million, or the December 2022 Note, to Streeterville Capital, LLC. On March 13, 2025, we used the proceeds from the March 2025 Note (as defined below) to pay off the December 2022 Note.
On March 13, 2025, we issued an unsecured convertible promissory note for $33.1 million, or the March 2025 Note, to Avondale Capital, LLC, or Avondale, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, dated January 31, 2025. For a description of the Purchase Agreement and the March 2025 Note, see “Description of Indebtedness” below for additional detail.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $30,736 of accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,600 shares of our common stock. On December 31, 2025, we did not meet the required $3.0 million Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligation, as defined below. The failure to make this required payment constituted a Major Trigger Event, as defined below, under the March 2025 Note. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $6.3 million of principal and accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,510,620 shares of the Company’s common stock. This Major Trigger Event has not resulted in an Event of Default.
Pursuant to the terms of the March 2025 Note, the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event resulted in (i) an automatic 10% increase to the outstanding balance, effective January 1, 2026, and (ii) an adjustment to the Conversion Price. Following the adjustment, the Conversion Price is equal to the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $2.26 or 90% of the lowest closing bid price during the three trading days immediately preceding the delivery of a conversion notice, provided that the Conversion Price may not be reduced below the contractual floor price of $0.404. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $6.3 million of principal and accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,510,620 shares of our common stock. For additional information regarding the March 2025 Note, refer to Note 7 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We evaluated whether there are conditions or events considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, together with $2.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement since December 31, 2025, are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
29
Our future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including: (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above; (ii) our ability to successfully commercialize ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, including executing marketing arrangements, or complete revenue-generating partnerships with other companies; (iii) the success of our research and development; (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies; and, ultimately; (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of our proposed future products. See “Overview—Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Factors” for additional information regarding the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Funding Requirements
We plan to focus in the near term on working with the FDA to discern a potential regulatory pathway for ONS-5010 and to prepare for the potential launch of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, if approved, to support the generation of commercial revenues, in the U.S. We anticipate we will incur net losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We may not be able to successfully commercialize ONS-5010/LYTENAVA if, among other things, the FDA does not approve our BLA when we expect, or at all, or if we are not able to secure sufficient funding of our expected post-launch commercial costs.
Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, manufacturing and facility costs, external research and development services, legal and other regulatory expenses and administrative and overhead costs. Our future funding requirements will be heavily determined by the resources needed to support the development of our lead product candidate and any other product candidates we may choose to pursue.
We do not believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, together with $2.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement since December 31, 2025, are sufficient to fund our operations through one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
We plan to finance our future operations with a combination of proceeds from potential licensing and/or marketing arrangements or collaborations with pharmaceutical or other companies, sale of the development and commercial rights to our drug product candidates in regions outside of the U.S., the issuance of additional debt, the issuance of equity securities, including accessing capital through at-the-market offering agreements, and revenues from potential future product sales, if any. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a holder of our common stock. Further, due to current market volatility, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. There are no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing for the commercialization of ONS-5010/LYTENAVA or the development of any other current or future product candidates. Alternatively, we will be required to, among other things, modify our clinical trial plans for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA in additional indications, make reductions in our workforce, scale back our plans and place certain activities on hold, discontinue our development programs, liquidate all or a portion of our assets, and/or seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the periods presented:
30
Operating Activities
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we used $14.9 million of cash in operating activities resulting primarily from our net loss of $23.1 million. This use of cash was partially offset by $10.5 million of non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, loss from change in fair value of promissory notes, warrant inducement expenses, gain from change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on equity method investment and amortization expense. The net cash outflow of $2.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities was driven primarily by a $3.2 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to payment timing, and a $0.4 million increase in prepaid expenses related to ONS‑5010/LYTENAVA development activities. These outflows were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in receivables resulting from collections and the impact of the higher product returns reserve.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we used $11.0 million of cash in operating activities resulting primarily from our net income of $17.4 million. This use of cash was partially offset by $35.2 million of non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, change in fair value of promissory notes, change in fair value of warrant liability, loss on equity method investment and depreciation and amortization expense. The net cash inflow of $6.9 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $4.4 million primarily due to timing of payments and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $5.6 million associated with ONS-5010/LYTENAVA development costs relating to clinical trial and drug development costs, partially offset by an increase in inventory of $3.1 million relating to commercial inventory manufactured during the period.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $15.5 million, driven primarily by $14.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ATM Offering and $1.0 million from the exercise of common stock warrants. These inflows were partially offset by $0.4 million of expenses related to common stock warrants exercised and recorded in fiscal 2025.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million, primarily attributable to net proceeds from the sale of common stock under our the ATM Offering.
Description of Indebtedness
On March 13, 2025, we issued the March 2025 Note for $33,100,000 to Avondale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Certain terms of the March 2025 Note were approved at our annual meeting of stockholders on March 11, 2025, and we used the proceeds from the March 2025 Note to pay off the December 2022 Note. On March 28, 2025, we filed a registration statement registering the resale of common stock issuable upon conversion of the March 2025 Note.
The March 2025 Note will initially bear interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus an additional 3%, subject to a floor of 9.5%. The March 2025 Note is scheduled to mature on July 1, 2026, and will be convertible into common stock. We are obligated to repay a minimum of $3,000,000 of the outstanding balance of the March 2025 Note each calendar quarter starting with the second calendar quarter of 2025, subject to adjustments for conversions by Avondale and the payment of an exit fee of 7.5%, or the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations. Any amount converted by Avondale during a given calendar quarter in excess of the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations will be credited toward meeting the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations for the next quarter or quarters.
Effective March 28, 2025, or the Conversion Commencement Date, Avondale has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance under the March 2025 Note into shares of common stock, calculated by dividing the amount of the March 2025 Note being converted by the Conversion Price (as defined below). Furthermore, we retain the right to convert any portion of the outstanding balance under the March 2025 Note into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price, provided certain conditions are met at the time of conversion, including, but not limited to, the condition that the daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $3.00 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits and combinations) for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, and that the median daily dollar trading volume during the preceding 30 trading day period meets or exceeds $1,000,000. We reserve the right to make payments (i) in cash, (ii) in shares of common stock, calculated as the applicable payment amount divided by the
31
Conversion Price, or (iii) a combination of both cash and shares of common stock. Any cash payments made by us, including prepayments or payments made at maturity, will incur an additional fee of 7.5%.
The March 2025 Note stipulates that we shall not permit any conversion of the March 2025 Note if, following such conversion, Avondale and its affiliates would beneficially own shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of the total number of outstanding shares as of that date, or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. However, this limitation shall increase to 9.99% when our market capitalization falls below $25,000,000. Avondale may, by written notice to us, adjust the Beneficial Ownership Limitation for itself, though any such adjustment will not take effect until the 61st day after such notice is received.
In the event of specific occurrences outlined in the March 2025 Note, such as our failure to fulfill payment obligations, non-compliance with the Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligations, insolvency or bankruptcy events, breaches of covenants in the Purchase Agreement and the March 2025 Note, and unauthorized transactions without Avondale’s consent, collectively referred to as Trigger Events, Avondale reserves the right to increase the balance of the March 2025 Note by 10% in the case of a Major Trigger Event (as defined in the March 2025 Note) and by 5% for a Minor Trigger Event (as defined in the March 2025 Note). Should any Trigger Event persist without resolution for ten trading days following written notification from Avondale, this will constitute an event of default, such event, an Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default, Avondale may accelerate the March 2025 Note, resulting in all amounts becoming immediately due and payable, with interest accruing at a rate of 22% per annum until full payment is made.
Under the terms of the March 2025 Note, the “Conversion Price” is defined as $2.26 per share prior to a Major Trigger Event (subject to adjustments for stock splits and combinations). Following a Major Trigger Event, the Conversion Price will be the lesser of (i) $2.26 per share (subject to adjustments) or (ii) 90% of the lowest closing bid price over the three trading days preceding the conversion notice. Furthermore, if the Conversion Price falls below $0.404 per share (subject to adjustments), we will be required to fulfill a conversion notice from Avondale in cash.
On December 31, 2025, we did not meet the required $3.0 million Quarterly Debt Reduction Obligation. The failure to make this required payment constituted a Major Trigger Event under the terms of the March 2025 Note. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Avondale converted $6.3 million of principal and accrued interest on the March 2025 Note into 13,510,620 shares of our common stock. This Major Trigger Event has not resulted in an Event of Default.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on December 19, 2025, have not materially changed.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a “Smaller Reporting Company,” this Item and the related disclosure are not required.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during our first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Part II. Other Information
On November 3, 2023, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against us and certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The class action complaint alleges violations of the Exchange Act in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements made by us related to our BLA during the period from August 3, 2021 through August 29, 2023. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 by failing to disclose that there was an alleged lack of evidence supporting ONS-5010/LYTENAVA as a treatment for wet AMD and that we and/or our manufacturing partner had deficient CMC controls for ONS-5010/LYTENAVA, which remained unresolved at the time our BLA was re-submitted to the FDA and, as a result, the FDA was unlikely to approve our BLA, and that our stock price dropped when such information was disclosed. The plaintiffs in the class action seek damages and interest, and an award of reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees. On December 23, 2025, the court dismissed the plaintiffs’ second amended complaint in part with prejudice and in part with leave to amend. The deadline for the plaintiffs to file a third amended complaint is February 27, 2026.
On October 10, 2024, certain of the Company’s officers and directors were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative action filed in the District Court of the District of Delaware. The derivative complaint alleges that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing and/or allowing the company to violate federal securities laws based on the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action. The derivative complaint also alleges defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as claims for contribution, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The derivative complaint seeks unspecified damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution, contribution, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. The derivative action is currently stayed, pending the final resolution of the securities class action pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
The pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual defense and disposition costs will depend upon many unknown factors. The outcome of the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits is necessarily uncertain. We could be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of the pending lawsuits and any additional lawsuits, and we may not prevail. In addition, we may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with such lawsuits. We currently are not able to estimate the possible cost to us from these matters, as the pending lawsuits are currently at an early stage, and we cannot be certain how long it may take to resolve the pending lawsuits or the possible amount of any damages that we may be required to pay. Such amounts could be material to our financial statements if we do not prevail in the defense of the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits, or even if we do prevail. We have not established any reserve for any potential liability relating to the pending lawsuits and any other related lawsuits. It is possible that we could, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims for monetary damages.
From time to time, we may also become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Our management believes that there are currently no additional claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were previously disclosed in Item 1A in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on December 19, 2025.
None.
Not applicable.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or Section 16 officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as such term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
