Management Discussion

"We enter fiscal 2026 with an opportunity to significantly transform Aytu into one of the industry leaders in addressing complex CNS diseases following our recent exclusive agreement to commercialize EXXUA for major depressive disorder," commented Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu. "EXXUA is a perfect strategic fit and will be a centerpiece of Aytu's commercial efforts going forward considering the significant commercial potential, uniqueness of the product, our sales force's CNS focus and alignment with our proprietary Aytu RxConnect patient access platform. We remain on track to launch EXXUA in the fourth quarter of calendar 2025."

"The results of the fourth quarter and fiscal year highlight the stability within our existing ADHD and Pediatric portfolios as well as our focus on driving efficiencies across our operations to report our 9th consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA," Disbrow continued. "As we ramp up our commercial focus on EXXUA, it is our expectation that we will exit fiscal 2026 on a trajectory that positions Aytu as one of the fastest growing CNS-focused companies in the industry. We look forward to the realization of the significant market potential of EXXUA while positively impacting the lives of MDD patients," Disbrow concluded.

Full Year Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

Net revenue for full year fiscal 2025 was $66.4 million, compared to $65.2 million for the prior year.

The ADHD Portfolio net revenue was $57.6 million in full year fiscal 2025, compared to $57.8 million in the prior year period. The change from the year ago period was a result of a decrease in the total number of prescriptions written offset by improvements in gross to net adjustments through assertive management of the Company's brands' economics as enabled through Aytu RxConnect.

The Pediatric Portfolio was $8.8 million in full year fiscal 2025, compared to $7.3 million in the prior year period. Pediatric Portfolio growth reflects the positive effects from the Company's recently implemented return-to-growth plan resulting in an increase in units sold by 49%, partially offset by a reduction in gross to net adjustments.

Gross profit was $45.8 million, or 69% of net revenue, in the full year fiscal 2025, compared to $49.1 million, or 75% of net revenue last year. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily related to increased cost of sales in the Company's ADHD inventory. The inventory's higher cost resulted from the allocation of certain overhead costs associated with the Company's now closed Grand Prairie, Texas manufacturing facility, to a reduced amount of ADHD product being produced there. This situation occurred as the Company ramped up production at its contract manufacturer and concurrently decreased production at Grand Prairie, Texas. This higher cost inventory is expected to be liquidated in the coming quarters as the Company continues to sell these products through its distribution channels, resulting in a normalization of ADHD gross profit percentage.

Operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs and impairment expense, were $39.6 million in full year fiscal 2025 compared to $44.8 million in the prior year. The decrease is primarily a result of continued cost reduction efforts and improved operational efficiencies as part of the Company's overall strategic realignment.

Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax for full year fiscal 2025 was $0.6 million compared to net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $3.3 million in the prior year. Discontinued operations pertain to the Consumer Health business which was successfully wound down and divested in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Net loss during full year fiscal 2025 was $13.6 million, or $2.16 net loss per share basic and diluted compared to a net loss of $15.8 million, or $2.86 net loss per share basic and diluted, in the prior year. The full year fiscal 2025 results were impacted by $8.3 million of impairment expense on the Company's Pediatric Portfolio primarily as a result of its shifted focus on its commercial efforts to the psychiatric product portfolio and preparation for the EXXUA launch; $1.7 million of derivative warrant liabilities loss due primarily to an increase in the fair value of 8.2 million liability classified prefunded warrants from when they were issued in June 2025 until the end of fiscal 2025, partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of the Company's other warrants and prefunded warrants due to an overall decrease in the Company's stock price during fiscal 2025; and $2.1 million of restructuring costs primarily related to the closure of the Company's Grand Prairie, Texas manufacturing site.

Adjusted EBITDA was $9.2 million in full year fiscal 2025, compared to $10.8 million in the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents were $31.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $18.2 million at March 31, 2025.

Q4 Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

Net revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $15.1 million, compared to $14.6 million for the prior year period.

The ADHD Portfolio net revenue was $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $13.8 million in the prior year period. The change from the year ago period was primarily a result of a decrease in the total number of prescriptions written.

The Pediatric Portfolio net revenue was $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $0.8 million in the prior year period. Pediatric Portfolio growth reflects the positive effects from the Company's recently implemented return-to-growth plan.

Gross profit was $10.3 million, or 68% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $11.1 million, or 76% of net revenue, in the same quarter last year.

Operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs and impairment expense, were $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $10.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily a result of continued cost reduction efforts and improved operational efficiencies as part of the Company's overall strategic realignment.

Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $0.1 million compared to net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $1.2 million in the year ago period. Discontinued operations pertain to the Consumer Health business which was successfully wound down and divested in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Net loss during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $19.8 million, or $2.92 net loss per share basic and diluted compared to a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.82 net loss per share basic and diluted, in the prior year period. The fiscal 2025 fourth quarter results were impacted by $8.3 million of impairment expense on the Company's Pediatric Portfolio primarily as a result of its shifted focus on its commercial efforts to the psychiatric product portfolio and preparation for the EXXUA launch and $9.9 million of derivative warrant liabilities loss due primarily to the increase in the Company's stock price and an increase in the fair value of 8.2 million liability classified prefunded warrants from when they were issued in June 2025 until the end of fiscal 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 million for both the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024.

About EXXUA

EXXUA is a novel oral selective serotonin 5HT1a receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. EXXUA is also being developed for other psychiatric disorders.

INDICATIONS and IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for EXXUA

INDICATIONS

EXXUA is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in pediatric and young adult patients in short-term studies. Closely monitor all antidepressant-treated patients for clinical worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

EXXUA is not approved for use in pediatric patients.

Do not take EXXUA if you:

	?	are allergic to EXXUA or any of the ingredients in EXXUA.
	?	have a prolonged QTc interval greater than 450 msec or congenital long QT syndrome.
	?	are taking medicines known as strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure if you are taking one of these medicines.
	?	have severe liver problems.
	?	are taking, or have stopped taking within the last 14 days, a medicine called a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), including the antibiotic linezolid or intravenous methylene blue. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are not sure if you take an MAOI, including the antibiotic linezolid or intravenous methylene blue.

Do not start taking an MAOI for at least 14 days after you have stopped treatment with EXXUA.

EXXUA may cause serious side effects, including:

Changes in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation. QT prolongation can cause irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening. Your healthcare provider will check the electrical activity of your heart with a test called an electrocardiogram (ECG) and will also do blood tests to check your levels of body salts (electrolytes) before and during treatment with EXXUA. Your healthcare provider may check your electrolytes more often during treatment if you have heart failure, a slow heart rate, abnormal levels of electrolytes in your blood, or if you take other medications that can prolong the QT interval of your heartbeat.

A potentially life-threatening problem called serotonin syndrome can happen when EXXUA is taken with certain other medicines.

Manic episodes may happen in people with bipolar disorder who take EXXUA.

Please read FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION for EXXUA.

Footnote 1

Aytu uses the term adjusted EBITDA, which is a term not defined under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company uses this term because it is a widely accepted financial indicator utilized to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance. The Company believes that presenting adjusted EBITDA by certain categories allows investors to evaluate the various performance of these categories. The Company's method of computation of adjusted EBITDA may or may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes that net loss is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA. See below for a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA.
