6. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value of Crystalys

Urica valued its equity investment in Crystalys using an option pricing model backsolve method and level 3 inputs. The fair value of its investment in Crystalys increased after Crystalys announced a Series A financing and to recognize additional shares received pursuant to its anti-dilution rights under the APA, resulting in an increase in estimated fair value of $15.1 million which was recorded as other income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The following inputs were utilized to derive the value: risk free rate of return: 3.61%; volatility: 80%; and a discount for lack of marketability: 31.6%. There are significant judgments and estimates inherent in the determination of the fair value, such as those regarding the selection of comparable companies used in estimating volatility, and the probability of possible future events. Such estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of significant judgment. Changes in judgements could have a material impact on our results of operation. The $15.1 million represents the cumulative unrealized gain since acquisition of the investment. The Company has not recorded any impairment losses through December 31, 2025.

Fair Value of Aevitas

The Company valued its retained investment in Aevitas, which is accounted for as an equity method investment for which the Company elected the fair value option, and estimated the fair value using level 3 inputs to be $2.6 million. The Company has not recognized any gains, losses, or impairments on the investment in 2025, 2024, or on a cumulative basis.

Common Stock Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. For warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.

Checkpoint

Checkpoint deemed the placement agent warrants it issued in connection with a registered direct offering (the “December 2022 Placement Agent Warrants”) to be classified as liabilities on the balance sheet as they contain terms for redemption of the underlying security that are outside its control. The December 2022 Placement Agent Warrants were recorded at the time of closing at a fair value determined by using the Black-Scholes model. Checkpoint revalued the December 2022 Placement Agent Warrants at each reporting period thereafter until the closing date of the transaction with Sun Pharma, May 2025 (see Note 3).

A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the warrant liability that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy was as follows:


	May 31,			December 31,
Checkpoint Warrants	2025			2024
Stock price	$	4.10		$	5.41
Risk-free interest rate		3.9	%		4.3	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—
Expected term in years		2.5			3.0
Expected volatility		131.9	%		111.1	%

Avenue

Avenue has previously issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock in connection with financing activities. Avenue’s outstanding warrants to purchase common stock were originally issued in October 2022 (the “October 2022 Warrants”). The October 2022 Warrants are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet as they contain terms for redemption of the underlying security that are outside of its control. In connection with the Avenue January 2023 registered direct offering in January 2023, the down-round price protection feature was triggered and the exercise price for the October 2022 Warrants was permanently adjusted to $116.25, which was the offering price for the Avenue registered direct offering in January 2023. The Black-Scholes model was used to value the October 2022 Warrants as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the liability associated with the October 2022 Warrants was approximately $1,000 and $16,000, respectively.

A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Avenue warrant liability that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy was as follows:


	December 31,		December 31
	2025		2024
Stock price	$ 0.68		$ 2.00
Risk-free interest rate	3.75	%	4.27	%
