The deal adds a revenue-generating orphan drug with $8.1M in trailing sales at a modest upfront cost, expanding Eton's commercial portfolio to 11 products. Watch for September 26, 2026 launch and next quarterly update for initial prescription trends. The 55% net sales royalty is high but supplier covers all product costs, making this a capital-light revenue addition.

- Up to $4.0M in additional milestone payments at cumulative net sales thresholds of $50M, $100M, $150M, and $200M
- Eton pays supplier 55% of net sales up to $7.0M/year and 50% above $7.0M/year

Financial Impact
Upfront commitment of $4.25M in fixed fees plus up to $4.0M in sales milestones; 2025 U.S. sales of $8.1M provide baseline revenue potential. At current run-rate, Eton would retain ~$3.6M annually after supplier payments, growing if sales exceed $7.0M threshold.
Risk Factors
- Leishmaniasis is a rare disease with limited patient population; sales growth may be constrained by epidemiology
- 55% net sales royalty to supplier is high, limiting margin expansion unless sales significantly exceed $7.0M/year
- Milestone payments at $50M cumulative sales may take years to trigger given current $8.1M run-rate
