The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of intangible assets acquired by Journey. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Journey experienced lower net product revenues and gross profit levels for its Ximino products. Based on these results, Journey revised the financial outlook and plans for its Ximino products. Journey assessed the revised forecast for Ximino and determined that this constituted a triggering event and the results of the analysis indicated the carrying amount was not expected to be recovered. Journey recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This non-cash charge was recorded to loss on impairment of intangible assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In addition, Journey will pay VYNE 10% of any upfront payment received by Journey from a licensee or sublicensee of the products in any territory outside of the United States, subject to exceptions for certain jurisdictions as detailed in the VYNE Product Acquisition Agreement.
