CorMedix Inc.

There were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the following:

We may be unable to successfully integrate our and Melinta’s businesses in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger or do so within the intended timeframe.

We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of Melinta with our business. We may be unable to realize the planned synergies from the Merger or other benefits in the timeframe that we expect or at all. We continue to assess synergies that we may realize as a combined company, the realization of which will depend on a number of factors.

The success of the Merger, including anticipated synergies, benefits and cost savings, will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully combine and integrate our current operations with Melinta’s business, and the ability to retain certain key employees. If we experience difficulties with the integration process or other unforeseen costs, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. The integration planning and implementation process will result in significant costs and divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on our combined company for an undetermined period after completion of the Merger. In addition, the actual benefits of the Merger could be less than anticipated, or otherwise offset by other factors.

Additional difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the following:

Any of these factors could adversely affect each company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger or could reduce each company’s earnings or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results after the Merger. These risks are not limited to our acquisition of Melinta and could also apply to our future acquisitions.

Our results after our acquisition of Melinta may suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the acquisition.

Following our acquisition of Melinta, the size and complexity of our business will increase significantly beyond the current size of either our or Melinta’s existing business. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new products and product candidates and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that we will be successful after completion of the Merger or that we will realize the expected benefits currently anticipated from our acquisition of Melinta.

The business of Melinta may underperform relative to our expectations.

We may not be able to maintain the levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that we and Melinta have achieved or might achieve separately. The business and financial performance of Melinta is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the loss of, or changes to, its relationships with its customers. We may be unable to achieve the same growth, revenues and profitability that Melinta has achieved in the past.

Our business may be adversely affected by tariffs, trade sanctions or similar government actions.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, discussions remain ongoing in respect of certain trade restrictions and tariffs on imports from various foreign countries, as well as retaliatory tariffs enacted in response to such actions. In light of these events, there continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to potential partners, suppliers or other third parties we seek to do business with and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the business and financial condition of such third parties, which in turn would negatively impact us.

We operate in a global economy, and our business depends on a global supply chain for the development, manufacturing, and distribution of our products, and for the advancement of our development programs. There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the 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.

We currently rely heavily on third-party manufacturers based in Europe for the manufacture of our Products. In addition, excipients and components may be sourced globally by our manufacturers. Tariff policies, particularly those affecting pharmaceutical products, could increase our costs and reduce our profitability. Additionally, recent policy discussions have included potential targeted tariffs or other trade measures specifically aimed at pharmaceutical products and ingredients as part of broader healthcare cost control or national security initiatives. For example, on July 28, 2025, the U.S. government announced a trade deal with the European Union (the “EU”) in which the EU will pay the U.S. a 15% tariff rate on certain products including pharmaceuticals. We are awaiting clarity from the U.S. government on the implementation of the 15% tariff.

Unlike consumer goods, pharmaceuticals face unique regulatory constraints that make rapid supply chain adjustments particularly difficult and costly. Should tariffs be imposed specifically targeting pharmaceutical imports, our production costs could rise, and it would be difficult and costly to qualify alternative sources within another country with a lower tariff rate or within the U.S., as developing and qualifying alternative sources typically requires substantial time, investment, and regulatory approvals.

Unlike many industries, our ability to pass increased costs to customers is limited by the structure of pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement systems. As a result, cost increases due to tariffs may be difficult or impossible to pass through to customers.

Current or future tariffs could also result in increased research and development expenses, including with respect to increased costs associated with raw materials, laboratory equipment and research materials and components. Trade restrictions 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 and negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

Risks Related to the Development and the Commercialization of Our Products

Clinical trials required for our product lines may be expensive and time consuming and their outcome is uncertain.

In order to obtain FDA approval to market a new drug product, we must demonstrate proof of safety and effectiveness in humans. To meet FDA requirements, we are obligated to conduct “adequate and well-controlled” clinical trials. Conducting clinical trials is a lengthy, time consuming, and expensive process. The length of time may vary substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty, and intended use of the product line, and often can be several years or more per trial. Delays associated with the development plans for our product lines may cause us to incur additional operating expenses. The commencement and rate of completion of clinical trials may be delayed by many factors, including, for example:

Further, the results from early pre-clinical and clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of results to be obtained in later clinical trials. Accordingly, even if we obtain positive results from early pre-clinical or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in later clinical trials. Moreover, comparisons of results across different studies should be viewed with caution as such comparisons are limited by a number of factors, including differences in study designs and populations. Such comparisons also will not provide a sufficient basis for any comparative claims following product approval. Clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations that may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals or commercialization. Negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical trial could cause a clinical trial to be delayed, repeated or terminated, or a clinical program to be abandoned.

Our clinical trials may be conducted in patients with serious or life-threatening diseases for whom conventional treatments have been unsuccessful or for whom no conventional treatment exists, and in some cases, our product is expected to be used in combination with approved therapies that themselves have significant adverse event profiles. During the course of treatment, these patients could suffer adverse medical events or die for reasons that may or may not be related to our products. We cannot ensure that safety issues will not arise with respect to our products in clinical development.

Clinical trials may not demonstrate statistically significant safety and effectiveness to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for product lines. The failure of clinical trials to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for the desired indications could harm the development of our product lines. Such a failure could cause us to abandon a product line and could delay development of other product lines. Any delay in, or termination of, our clinical trials would delay the filing of any NDA or any Premarket Approval Application, or PMA, or De Novo application, with the FDA and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our product lines and generate product revenues. Any change in, or termination of, our clinical trials could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

From time to time, we may publicly disclose interim, topline, or preliminary data from our clinical trials, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the particular study or trial. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations, and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the interim, topline, or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully evaluated. Interim data from clinical trials that we may complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data become available. Preliminary or topline data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. Preliminary or topline data may include, for example, data regarding a small percentage of the patients enrolled in a clinical trial, and such preliminary data should not be viewed as an indication, belief or guarantee that other patients enrolled in such clinical trial will achieve similar results or that the preliminary results from such patients will be maintained. As a result, such data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available. Adverse differences between preliminary, interim, or topline data and final data could significantly harm our business prospects and may cause the trading price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly.

Further, others, including regulatory authorities, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions, or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability, or commercialization of the particular product candidate or product and our company in general. In addition, the information we choose to publicly disclose regarding a particular study or clinical trial is based on what is typically extensive information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine is the material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure, and any information we determine not to disclose may ultimately be deemed significant with respect to future decisions, conclusions, views, activities or otherwise regarding a particular product, product candidate, or our business. If the interim, topline, or preliminary data that we report differ from actual results, or if others, including regulatory authorities, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize, our product candidates and any future product candidates may be harmed, which could harm our business, operating results, prospects, or financial condition.

Bacteria might develop resistance to our products or product candidates, which would decrease the efficacy and commercial viability of that product.

Bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics over time due to the genetic mutation of the bacteria. Many current and previous antibiotics have suffered reduced efficacy over time due to the development of resistance to such drugs. It is probable that, over time, bacteria will also develop resistance to our products and our drug candidates. If resistance were to develop rapidly to our products or our drug candidates, this would reduce the commercial potential for our business.

If our current or future product candidate marketing practices are found to have improperly promoted off-label uses, or if physicians prescribe or use our current or future product candidates off-label, we may become subject to prohibitions on the sale or marketing of our current or future product candidates, significant fines, penalties, sanctions, or product liability claims, and our image and reputation within the industry and marketplace could be harmed.

The FDA, United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), and comparable foreign authorities strictly regulate the marketing and promotional claims that are made about pharmaceutical products following approval. In particular, a product may not be promoted for uses or indications that are not approved by the FDA or comparable foreign authorities as reflected in the product’s approved labeling and Summary of Product Characteristics. However, physicians can prescribe our current or future products to their patients in a manner that is inconsistent with the approved label based on the physician’s independent medical judgement. If we are found to have promoted such off-label uses, we may receive warning letters from the FDA and comparable foreign authorities, incur penalties, and become subject to significant liability, which would materially harm our business. The federal government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off-label promotion. If we become the target of such an investigation or prosecution based on our marketing and promotional practices, we could face similar sanctions, which would materially harm our business. In addition, management’s attention could be diverted from our business operations, significant legal expenses could be incurred, and our reputation could be damaged. The FDA and other governmental authorities, including comparable foreign authorities, have also required that companies enter into consent decrees or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed in order to resolve enforcement actions. If we are deemed by the FDA, the DOJ, or other governmental authorities, or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, to have engaged in the promotion of our current or future product candidate for off-label use, we could be subject to certain prohibitions or other restrictions on the sale or marketing and other operations or significant fines and penalties, and the imposition of these sanctions could also affect our reputation and position within the industry.

Our BARDA development contract requires ongoing funding decisions by the U.S. Government. Any reduction or discontinuation of funding of this contract could cause our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows to suffer materially.

In July 2023, Melinta signed a development contract with Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) to advance two antibiotics currently FDA-approved for adults, BAXDELA® (delafloxacin) and VABOMERE® (meropenem and vaborbactam), for use in pediatrics. With this BARDA funding, Melinta aims to submit four supplemental New Drug Applications (sNDAs) for these new indications. The performance period for our BARDA contract, including all optional funding, is estimated to be 12 years. Under this contract, BARDA has committed funding of $39.0 million to date, with the potential of additional funding of $105.7 million, amounting to total funding up to $144.7 million if all options are exercised.

The primary source of funds for these development programs is provided by the U.S. government and is subject to Congressional appropriations, which are generally made on a fiscal year basis, even for programs designed to continue for several years. These appropriations can be subject to a number of uncertainties, including political considerations, changes in priorities due to global pandemics, the results of elections and stringent budgetary constraints. If levels of government expenditures and authorizations for public health countermeasure preparedness decrease or shift to programs in areas where we do not offer products or are not developing product candidates, or if the federal government otherwise declines to exercise its options under this contract or our other existing contracts, there could be a material adverse impact to our results of operations, financial condition, and our business.

Risks Related to Dependence on Third Parties

We depend on third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for the supply and manufacture of our product lines, as well as our APIs, which subjects us to potential cost increases and manufacturing delays that are not within our control.

We do not manufacture our product lines or any of their raw materials or components ourselves, and we rely on third parties for our drug supplies both for clinical trials and for commercial quantities. All of our manufacturing processes currently are, and we expect them to continue to be, outsourced to third parties, some of which are single-source suppliers. We have made the strategic decision not to manufacture APIs for our product lines, as these can be more economically supplied by third parties with particular expertise in this area. We have engaged contract facilities that are registered with the FDA, have a track record of large-scale API manufacture, and have already invested in capital and equipment.

We have no direct control over the manufacturing of our product lines. If the contract manufacturers are unable to produce sufficient quantities of our product lines, as a result of a lack of available materials, supply chain delays or otherwise, then we would need to identify and contract with additional or replacement third-party manufacturers. Additionally, if the manufacturers are not able to quickly scale production to align with rapid changes in demand, our results of operations may be negatively impacted. If we are unable to identify suitable additional or replacement third-party manufacturers, or are only able to do so on unfavorable terms, our ability to commercialize our product lines and our future profitability would be adversely affected. Our reliance on foreign suppliers poses risks due to possible shipping delays, import restrictions and foreign regulatory regimes.

We are subject to the risks associated with technology transfers, which are often required when moving manufacturing processes to new facilities or contract manufacturers. These include the potential for delays, loss of process knowledge, difficulties in replicating processes at a new site, and challenges in meeting regulatory requirements, all of which could disrupt supply or impact product quality.

In addition, we have no direct control over manufacturing costs of our product lines. If the cost of manufacturing increases, or if the cost of the materials used increases, these costs will be passed on to us, making the cost of clinical trials and commercializing our product lines more expensive. Increases in manufacturing costs could adversely affect our future profitability if we are unable to pass all of the increased costs along to our customers.

Our continuing reliance on third parties for manufacturing entails a number of additional risks, including reliance on third parties for legal and regulatory compliance and quality assurance, the possible breach of the manufacturing or supply agreement by such third parties, and the possible termination or nonrenewal of the agreement by such third parties at a time that is costly or inconvenient for the Company. Further, we, along with our contract manufacturers, are required to comply with FDA requirements for cGMPs, related to product testing, quality assurance, manufacturing and documentation. Our contract manufacturers may fail to comply with the applicable FDA regulatory requirements, which could result in delays to our product development programs, result in adverse regulatory actions against them or us, and prevent us from ultimately receiving product marketing approval. They also generally must pass an FDA preapproval inspection for conformity with cGMPs before we can obtain approval to manufacture our product lines and will be subject to ongoing, periodic, unannounced inspection by the FDA and corresponding state agencies to ensure strict compliance with cGMP and other applicable government regulations and corresponding foreign standards. Not complying with FDA requirements could result in a product recall or prevent commercialization of our product lines and delay our business development activities. In addition, such failure could be the basis for the FDA to issue a warning or untitled letter or take other regulatory or legal enforcement action, including recall or seizure, total or partial suspension of production, suspension of ongoing clinical trials, refusal to approve pending applications or supplemental applications, and potentially civil and/or criminal penalties depending on the matter. Similarly, we, along with our contract manufacturers, are required to comply with all applicable healthcare laws and regulations, such as, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, and civil monetary penalty laws, as well as similar state laws. Violation of any such laws by a contract manufacturer could materially impact our operations.

The timing of the milestone and royalty payments we are required to make to third parties is uncertain and could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.

We are party to various agreements pursuant to which we are obligated to make milestone payments or pay royalties in connection with the development and commercialization of our product candidates or sales of our marketed products. The timing of our achievement of these milestones and the corresponding milestone payments, or the amount of our royalty payments, is subject to factors which are difficult to predict and of which many are beyond our control. We may become obligated to make a milestone or other payment at a time when we do not have sufficient funds to make such payment, or at a time that would otherwise require us to use funds needed to continue to operate our business, which could delay our clinical trials, curtail our operations, necessitate a scaling back of our sales and marketing efforts or cause us to seek funds to meet these obligations on terms unfavorable to us. If we are unable to make any payment when due or if we fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve certain development and commercialization milestones within the timeframes required by certain of these agreements, the other party may have the right to terminate the agreement and all of our rights to develop and commercialize product candidates using the applicable technology.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by an adverse outcome in the ongoing Minocin (minocycline) for Injection patent litigation.

Generic manufacturers have sought, and may continue to seek, FDA approval to market generic versions of our products through an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), the application process typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. ANDA litigation and related settlement and license agreements, in some cases, may result in a loss of exclusivity for our patents prior to their expiration. The entry of generic versions of our products may lead to market share and price erosion.

Melinta, is currently party to patent litigation for Minocin (minocycline) for Injection against Nexus Pharmaceuticals in which an adverse outcome could allow generic entry, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and stock price. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois has entered an injunction enjoining the FDA from approving Nexus Pharmaceuticals’ ANDA based on infringement of our Method of Treatment patents, which the court held were valid and enforceable. Nexus has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. As of the date of this filing, the appeal remains pending and the timing of the Federal Circuit’s decision is uncertain. If the injunction is vacated, modified, or otherwise lifted on appeal or in subsequent proceedings, the FDA could approve the ANDA, which could permit a generic minocycline for injection product to enter the market. Introduction of a generic minocycline for injection product, or a generic of any of our commercialized products, could result in increased competition, decreased sales and could have a material adverse impact on our revenue and results of operations.

Our ability to pursue the development and commercialization of certain of our products depends upon the continuation of certain licenses and actions taken by our license partners.

We rely on certain licenses to certain patent rights and proprietary technology from third parties that are important or necessary to the development of our technology and products.

REZZAYO. Pursuant to a license agreement with Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. in July 2022 (who in 2024 sold all of its rights in REZZAYO to Napp Pharmaceutical Group Limited (“Napp”), a member of Mundipharma’ independent associated companies) provides us with an exclusive license to develop and sell REZZAYO in the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, we obtained an exclusive license to certain patents, patent applications and proprietary information covering the composition of matter to REZZAYO, its manufacturing process, pharmaceutical compositions containing REZZAYO, methods of using REZZAYO, and other proprietary information. Our license agreement further grants us nonexclusive rights to manufacture REZZAYO anywhere in the world. We are required to make payments to Napp upon reaching specified regulatory and sales milestones. In addition, we are obligated to pay royalties based on net sales of products containing REZZAYO or the other compounds in a valid patent licensed under the license agreement. The royalty rate due to Napp on sales increases as annual sales of these products increase. We are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain regulatory approval for REZZAYO in the United States and to commercialize REZZAYO in the United States within the timeframes required by the license agreement. If we do not use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the development and commercialization milestones for REZZAYO within the timeframes, or if we are unable to make any of the required payments, Napp may terminate the license agreement if not cured within 60 days (or 30 days with respect to any payment breach). If our license agreement is terminated, we would lose our rights to develop and commercialize REZZAYO. Loss of our license agreement would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and future prospects.

In addition, disputes may arise regarding intellectual property subject to a licensing agreement, including:

Licenses or similar arrangements involving our research programs or any product candidates currently pose, and will continue to pose, numerous risks to us, such as our third party partners (i) have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply to these arrangements; (ii) may delay programs, preclinical studies or clinical trials, provide insufficient funding for programs, preclinical studies or clinical trials, stop a preclinical study or clinical trial or abandon a product candidate, repeat or conduct new clinical trials or require a new formulation of a product candidate for clinical testing; and (iii) may not pursue development and commercialization of our product candidates or may elect not to continue or renew development or commercialization programs based on clinical trial results, changes in such third party’s strategic focus or available funding or external factors such as an acquisition that diverts resources or creates competing priorities.

In addition, the agreements under which we currently license intellectual property or technology from third parties are complex, and certain provisions in such agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could narrow what we believe to be the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology, or increase what we believe to be our financial or other obligation under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
