14.Discontinued operations

 

On March 5, 2026, the Company announced the strategic decision to cease funding its German subsidiaries. As a result, on March 23, 2026, the German subsidiaries filed an insolvency petition at a German Court to open insolvency proceedings. Effective on March 27, 2026, following the appointment of an insolvency administrator, the Company ceased to consolidate the German subsidiaries as the Company was no longer in a position of control over the German subsidiaries.

 

As described in Note 13, the German subsidiaries constituted the Biopharmaceutical segment of the Company. The segment involved the commercializing and developing pharmaceutical therapeutics and diagnostic tests, including the Company’s lead product, Macrilen® (macimorelin). The segment also included costs associated with the development of our pre-clinical pipeline to potentially address unmet medical needs across several indications with a focus on rare or orphan indications. Accordingly, the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities of the German subsidiaries from its consolidated balance sheet which resulted in a total income from discontinued operations of $10.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Effective March 27, 2026, the date of the loss of control, the results of the German subsidiaries met the definition of discontinued operations, and the results have been presented as such, including the prior year comparatives being restated.
