Liability For Sale Of Future Revenue [Abstract]  
Liability for Sale of Future Revenue
Note 10. Liability for Sale of Future Revenue
In May 2025, we executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with funds affiliated with Blackstone Life Sciences and Blackstone Credit & Insurance (collectively, Blackstone). Pursuant to the PSA, we received a cash payment of $295 million from Blackstone for the rights to the proceeds from (a) the future royalties we are owed from net sales in the U.S. of XDEMVY® (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25%, a medical treatment for Demodex blepharitis in humans, by Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Tarsus) and (b) certain future sales milestone payments we are owed based on global net sales of XDEMVY, both of which are pursuant to the terms of a previously executed license agreement with Tarsus (the qualifying royalties and milestones). These payments are made by Tarsus to Blackstone through a third-party escrow account and, therefore, do not represent cash inflows or outflows within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The PSA applies to net sales of XDEMVY in the U.S. from April 1, 2025 through August 24, 2033. We retain the rights to all royalty payments on net sales outside the U.S. and any royalties due on U.S. net sales after August 24, 2033. We also retain the rights to any future royalties or milestones earned due to the future expansion of lotilaner in other human health applications. Given our continuing involvement with the generation of the qualifying royalties and milestones, the payment received in exchange for the qualifying royalties and milestones, net of transaction costs, was recorded as a liability for sale of future revenue.
GAAP also requires us to impute interest expense associated with the liability for sale of future revenue. Our imputed interest rate is calculated based on the rate we expect would enable the liability to be amortized in full over the life of the agreement and may vary throughout the term of the arrangement depending on the amount and timing of forecasted qualifying royalties and milestones, which will affect the timing and amount of reductions to the liability.
Further, although we will no longer receive the proceeds from the qualifying future royalties and milestones, we are required under GAAP to continue recognizing these amounts within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
