Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
83% growth in product sales year-over-year. Eton reported fourth quarter 2025 product sales of
Commercial launch of DESMODA. Eton launched DESMODA on
Acquired
Advancement of INCRELEX label harmonization study. In December, the company held a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss the clinical pathway required to expand the
Continued strong GALZIN growth, now exceeding 300 active patients. GALZIN growth continued to trend ahead of forecast in the fourth quarter of 2025 and so far in the first quarter of 2026. The Company’s targeted investment in rare disease specialists and education has increased awareness, access, and adoption and, earlier this month, the Company eclipsed 300 active patients on therapy. Eton continues to see a large growth opportunity to expand the treated population through conversion of patients currently taking over-the-counter products that are not FDA approved for Wilson disease.
Planned ET-700 pilot study. ET-700, the Company’s extended-release formulation of zinc acetate, will be tested in a proof-of-concept positron emission tomography (PET) study that is expected to initiate in April. The study will compare ET-700 to GALZIN and a placebo. If successful, the study would support the initiation of a dose ranging and pivotal study in early 2027.
Initiation of bioequivalence study to support KHINDIVI label expansion. The Company has initiated the bioequivalence study required to support submission of Eton’s revised KHINDIVI formulation designed to expand the product’s approved indication beyond its current restriction of children ages five and older. The study has been initiated, with the first patient dosed last week. The Company expects to receive preliminary top-line results late in the second quarter and receive the final study report needed for submission of the supplement in the third quarter of 2026. The Company anticipates a 10-month review for the submission, leading to a potential mid-2027 approval.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the Company’s results of operations determined in accordance with
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, excluding the effects of stock-based compensation and expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, investment loss, net, and, if any and when specified, other non-recurring income or expense items. Management believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net loss as a measure of operating performance or to net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, or financing activities as a measure of ability to meet cash needs.
