Business and Portfolio Developments

- China: Approval for Acetadote® in the world’s second-largest pharmaceutical market, with exclusive rights granted to SciClone Pharmaceuticals for registration, promotion, and distribution.
- Saudi Arabia & Jordan: Launch of Vibativ® via Tabuk Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company, with exclusive rights and potential for further regional expansion.

Cumberland leads U.S. sales promotion and shares net revenues equally. Talicia is recommended as first-line therapy in American College of Gastroenterology guidelines, is patent protected through 2042, and has eight years of U.S. market exclusivity under QIDP designation.
- Reimbursement Milestone:
