This trend was partially offset by an increase in unit volumes for our epinephrine pre-filled syringe, as a result of an increase in demand caused by shortages from other suppliers during the quarter Glucagon sales decreased primarily due to a lower average selling price, impacting sales by $10.2 million, as well as a decrease in unit volumes, impacting sales by $1.3 million, as a result of competition and the continued shift to ready to use glucagon products such as BAQSIMI ® Other pharmaceutical product sales changes were primarily due to an increase in sales of albuterol of $4.2 million and iron sucrose sales of $2.0 million, which we launched in August 2024 and August 2025, respectively.

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in sales of enoxaparin of $9.9 million and dextrose of $9.6 million due to increased competition Other revenues were zero in the year ended December 31, 2025 as we completed the assumption of distribution responsibilities globally for BAQSIMI ® at the beginning of 2025, with all of BAQSIMI ® related revenues in the current period being recognized in Product revenues, net.

We recorded those sales in product revenues and cost of sales separately Lower pricing of glucagon and our epinephrine multi-dose vial product, both of which are higher-margin products Cost control efforts across the business partially offset the impact of pricing declines Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Dollars % (in thousands) Selling, distribution, and marketing $ 43,885 $ 37,802 $ 6,083 16 % General and administrative 85,925 56,720 29,205 51 % Research and development 85,844 73,914 11,930 16 % Selling, distribution, and marketing expenses increased primarily due to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts related to BAQSIMI ® , including expenses related to our co-promotion contract with MannKind, and sales efforts related to Primatene MIST ® General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to a legal settlement, which increased expenses by $23.1 million Research and development expenses increased primarily due to the $6.0 million upfront payment for the licensing agreement that we entered into with Nanjing Anji Biotechnology Co., Ltd. ("Anji"), during the year. Additionally, we had an increase in clinical trial expense, primarily related to our insulin and inhalation pipeline products, as well as an increase in depreciation expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company is disclosing non-GAAP financial measures when providing financial results. The Company believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the Company is disclosing certain non-GAAP results, including (i) Adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss) and (ii) Adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS, which generally excludes amortization expense, share-based compensation, impairment charges, expenses related to our acquisition of BAQSIMI ® , certain debt issuance costs, legal settlements, and other one-time events in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the Company's financial performance because the Company's management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, and measuring its operating performance. Whenever the Company uses such non-GAAP measures, it will provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
