  • Ongoing patent litigation against WhiteOak and Qilu threatens exclusive rights to EXPAREL and ZILRETTA, risking loss of patent protection and regulatory exclusivity
  • Significant revenue concentration with EXPAREL at 79% and ZILRETTA at 16% of total 2025 revenue, exposing the company to commercial risks in these products
  • Dependence on third-party cold-chain distributors for EXPAREL risks product spoilage if temperature controls fail, with limited insurance coverage for losses
  • Intense competition from generic opioids and immediate-release steroids, including established generics for OA pain, may limit market share and pricing power
  • Commercial success depends on obtaining timely hospital formulary approvals and physician prescribing, with delays or restrictions potentially reducing revenues
