Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year for each of Avenue, Mustang and Journey. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), from which the Company derived the balance sheet data at December 31, 2025, as well as Mustang’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2026, Avenue’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, and Journey’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company’s subsidiaries for which it has voting control but does not own 100% of the outstanding equity of the subsidiaries. For consolidated entities where the Company owns less than 100% of the subsidiary, but retains voting control, the Company records net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in its consolidated statements of operations and presents non-controlling interests as a component of stockholders’ equity on its consolidated balance sheets. All intercompany income and/or expense items are eliminated entirely in consolidation prior to the allocation of net gain/loss attributable to non-controlling interest, which is based on ownership interests as calculated quarterly for each subsidiary.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include, but are not limited to provisions for coupons, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, specialty pharmacy discounts, managed care rebates, product returns, inventory realization, valuation of intangible assets, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets, fair value of equity investments, stock options and warrants, stock-based compensation, common stock issued to acquire licenses, accrued expenses and contingencies. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The Company views its operations and manages its business in segments that align with the Company’s public subsidiaries with Fortress being comprised of the parent entity and the private subsidiaries, including intersegment revenue consisting of various fees paid by the subsidiaries to Fortress that are eliminated in consolidation. Each public subsidiary is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing, and commercializing assets in different therapeutic and disease areas. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its chief executive officer.

The CODM reviews profit and loss information for each segment to assess the performance of the Company and each of its public subsidiaries. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in this Note 2. See Note 16 for segment information.

Investment in Equity Securities

Investment in Equity Securities

The Company invests in certain entities over which it holds significant influence but not control. Generally, such investments would be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. However, for those investments for which the Company has elected the fair value option, the Company measures such investments at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in other (income) expense, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company elected the fair value option for certain investments that would otherwise have been accounted for using the equity method because the Company believes that fair value measurement provides more relevant information for users of its financial statements and is consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

The Company records cash held in trust or pledged to secure certain debt obligations as restricted cash. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.2 million of restricted cash representing pledges to secure letters of credit in connection with certain office leases.
