Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value.
The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are considered to be Level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of the Company’s funds. The fair value of short-term financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. The 2024 Credit Facility bears an interest rate that fluctuates with the changes in SOFR and because the variable interest rate approximates market borrowing rates available to the Company, the carrying value of the 2024 Credit Facility approximated its fair value at March 31, 2026.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Alimera Contingent Value Rights (CVR) Agreement
On September 16, 2024, prior to consummation of the Alimera acquisition, the Company entered into a CVR agreement pursuant to which holders of Alimera Common Stock, as well as holders of Alimera Warrants, Alimera Options, Alimera PSUs, Alimera RSAs and Alimera RSUs, may become entitled to contingent cash payments per CVR (each, a “Milestone Payment”), such payments being contingent upon, and subject to, the achievement of: (i) $140.0 million in net revenue (the “2026 Milestone”) on third party sales of ILUVIEN and YUTIQ for the Company’s 2026 fiscal year (the “2026 Net Revenue”) and/or (ii) $160.0 million in net revenue (the “2027 Milestone” and together with the 2026 Milestone, the “Milestones”) on third party sales of ILUVIEN and YUTIQ for the Company’s 2027 fiscal year (the “2027 Net Revenue”). Each CVR entitles the holder to receive a Milestone Payment upon satisfaction of the applicable Milestones. The Milestone Payment for each CVR will equal the product (rounded to the nearest 1/100 of $0.01) of (i) $0.25 multiplied by a fraction (not exceeding one), the numerator of which is the amount, if any, by which the 2026 Net Revenue exceeds $140.0 million and the denominator of which is $10.0 million (subject to adjustment for the exercise price of applicable Alimera Options) and/or (ii) $0.25 multiplied by a fraction (not exceeding one), the numerator of which is the amount, if any, by which the 2027 Net Revenue exceeds $160.0 million and the denominator of which is $15.0 million (subject to adjustment for the exercise price of applicable Alimera Options).
If the Milestones are met, the distributions in respect of the CVRs will be made on or prior to the date that is fifteen (15) business days following the filing by the Company of its audited financial statements with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K in respect of the applicable year in which such Milestones have been achieved, and will be subject to a number of deductions, exceptions and limitations, including, but not limited to, certain taxes.
The fair value of the CVR liability is based on significant unobservable inputs, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the CVR liability. For each simulated path of future revenue, the payments to the CVR holders were calculated based on the contractual terms of the rights. The average payments from all simulated paths were then discounted to present value at an estimated cost of debt. As a result of the decrease in forecast future revenue for 2026 and 2027, a corresponding decrease in the CVR liability was recorded. The fair value of the CVR liability was approximately $1.0 million as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of approximately $0.4 million from $1.4 million as of December 31, 2025, and is classified within Accrued expenses and other and Other non-current liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents the changes in the CVR liability balances classified as Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)20262025
Beginning balance$1,428 $9,000 
Change in fair value(401)(3,000)
Ending balance$1,027 $6,000 
Money Market Funds

Money market funds are readily convertible into cash and the net asset value of each fund on the last day of the reporting period is used to determine its fair value. Money market funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The Company does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. The fair value of the money market funds was approximately $242.2 million and $209.9 million, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Interest Rate Swap

The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows using the SOFR forward rate curve (see Note 4 “2024 Credit Agreement” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)). The model used to value the interest rate swap includes inputs of readily observable market data, a Level 2 input. As described in further detail in Note 6 “Derivative Financial Instrument and Hedging Activity” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $1.5 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The interest rate swap was classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets as of March 31, 2026 in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and other non-current assets as of December 31, 2025 in the consolidated balance sheets.
CG Oncology Equity Securities
The Company currently holds 219,925 shares of common stock in CG Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CGON) (“CG Oncology”). The Company accounts for its investment in CG Oncology equity securities as an equity investment with a readily determinable fair value, as the securities are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The fair value of the equity securities is based on its closing price on the Nasdaq and is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because the equity securities are valued using quoted market prices. The Company does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. The fair value of the CG Oncology equity securities as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $14.9 million and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2025, based on a closing market price of $67.68 and $41.52 on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The change in fair value of the equity securities is classified on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as unrealized gain (loss) on investment in equity securities, in the amounts of approximately $5.8 million gain and $0.9 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Between 2013 and 2023, CG Oncology securities held by the Company were valued at zero under U.S. GAAP.
Novitium Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of Novitium, the Company may pay up to $46.5 million in additional consideration related to the achievement of certain milestones, including milestones on gross profit of Novitium portfolio products over a 24-month period (which period ran from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023), regulatory filings completed during this 24-month period, and a percentage of net profits on certain products that are launched in the future.
The discounted cash flow method used to value this contingent consideration includes inputs of not readily observable market data, which are Level 3 inputs, as the inputs are not based on readily available market data. As of the November 19, 2021 acquisition date, the contingent consideration had a fair value of $30.8 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger related to the Novitium acquisition, dated as of March 8, 2021 (the “Novitium Merger Agreement”), on December 12, 2023, the Company paid $12.5 million of cash consideration to the holders of Novitium ownership interests (“Company Members”), for the achievement of the ANDA Filing Earn-Out, (as defined in the Novitium Merger Agreement). On February 22, 2024, the Company paid $12.5 million to Company Members of Novitium upon the achievement of the milestone. See Note 15 “Related Party Transactions” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Pursuant to the terms of the Novitium Merger Agreement, the Company owes 20% of net profit generated by the sales of certain 505(b)(2) products (as defined in the Novitium Merger Agreement) to the Company Members through the earlier to occur of (i) the sum of all such payments being equal to $21.5 million in the aggregate and (ii) the tenth anniversary of the FDA approval of the applicable 505(b)(2) product (the “505(b)(2) Earn-Out”). The payments are due on a quarterly basis, within 45 calendar days of each quarter end. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company has paid less than $0.1 million for payment of the 505(b)(2) Earn-Out to the Company Members, respectively.
The total fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $8.6 million and $8.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is classified within Accrued expenses and other and Other non-current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Accrued Licensor Payments
On May 17, 2023, Alimera entered into the Product Rights Agreement with EyePoint (the “Product Rights Agreement”), which granted Alimera an exclusive and sublicensable right and license under EyePoint’s and its affiliates’ interest in certain of EyePoint’s and its affiliates’ intellectual property to develop, manufacture, sell, commercialize and otherwise exploit certain products, including YUTIQ, for the treatment and prevention of uveitis in the entire world, except Europe, the Middle East and Africa, where the Company already had such rights pursuant to an amended and restated license agreement (the “A&R Collaboration Agreement”) with EyePoint, and except for China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam, for which Ocumension holds a license from EyePoint. Pursuant to the A&R Collaboration Agreement, Alimera paid EyePoint an upfront payment of $75.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid the final quarterly payment of $1.9 million. Upon making the quarterly payments in the aggregate amount of $7.5 million in 2024, the licenses and rights granted to the Company became automatically perpetual and irrevocable. There are no quarterly guaranteed payments in 2025 and beyond.

Royalties are payable to EyePoint from 2025 to 2028 at 30% of annual U.S. net sales of certain products (including YUTIQ and ILUVIEN) in excess of certain thresholds, beginning at $70.0 million in 2025, and increasing annually thereafter. The Company did not make any royalty payments during 2025 or 2026, as the minimum threshold of annual U.S. net sales that would trigger the requirement to make royalty payments was not met.
