12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to certain contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records accruals for these contingencies to the extent that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. If some amount within a range of loss appears more likely than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the lowest amount in the range is accrued. The Company expenses legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred. As of December 31, 2025, the Company does not have any outstanding or threatened litigation that would have a material impact to the financial statements.

 

Commitments with Stedical

 

On January 26, 2024, the Company entered into the Distribution Agreement with Stedical. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company held the exclusive rights to market, sell, and distribute PermeaDerm products, including any future enhancements or modifications, within the United States. The initial term is for five years, with the option to renew for an additional five years, contingent upon meeting certain minimum requirements.

On March 17, 2025, the Company and Stedical entered into an Amendment Two (the “Amendment”) of the Distribution Agreement. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company’s share of revenue from PermeaDerm sales increased from 50% to 60% and Stedical becomes eligible for certain milestone payments conditioned upon AVITA Medical’s achievement of specified sales targets. In addition, Stedical’s share from the sale of PermeaDerm is reduced by the Company’s actual cost to manufacture PermeaDerm. For 2025, the Company is required to reach $6.0 million in gross sales of PermeaDerm. For every year thereafter, the Company must achieve a minimum 20% increase in revenue from sales of PermeaDerm. In the event the Company fails to achieve the specified growth rate for two subsequent years, the Company has the option to make a cash payment to Stedical equal to the difference between what Stedical would have received if that growth target had been met for that second year and the amount of payments that were made to Stedical during that second year. The Amendment revises the initial term of the Distribution Agreement to ten years from the date of the Amendment.

 

Simultaneously to entering into the Amendment, on March 17, 2025, the Company entered into the Manufacturing Agreement with Stedical to manufacture PermeaDerm in the United States for the purposes of (i) sale in the United States under the terms of the Distribution Agreement and (ii) sale to Stedical for sale or distribution outside of the United States. The initial term of the Manufacturing Agreement is for ten years.

 

Development and Distribution Agreement with Regenity

 

On July 31, 2024, the Company entered into the Regenity Agreement to market, sell, and distribute Cohealyx, a unique collagen-based dermal matrix under the Company's private label in the U.S., with the potential to commercialize the product in countries in the European Union, as well as in Japan and Australia. The initial term of the Regenity Agreement is five years, with an automatic extension of an additional five years, contingent upon meeting certain criteria. The Regenity Agreement also requires the Company to meet certain revenue targets, which may be reduced by the amount of product purchased during a given year, in order to maintain its exclusive distribution rights. In the event the Company fails to meet those revenue targets, Regenity may end the Company’s exclusivity under the Regenity Agreement unless the Company makes a cash payment to Regenity equal to the difference between what Regenity would have received if the revenue target were met and the amount of payments that were made to Regenity during the year.

Under the terms of the Regenity Agreement, the Company made a $2.0 million payment upon receipt of 510(k) clearance by Regenity in December 2024. Depending on the results of certain clinical studies related to Cohealyx, the Company has an additional obligation to pay up to $3.0 million on or before January 4, 2026 to guarantee development and manufacturing capacity (and related resources). As such, upon Regenity receiving 510(k) clearance in December 2024, the Company recorded $5.0 million in Intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

On December 17, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment One to the Regenity Agreement (the “Regenity Amendment”). Under the terms of the Regenity Amendment, the Company’s obligation to pay up to $3.0 million was amended to on or before January 4, 2027 to guarantee development and manufacturing capacity (and related resources). As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $3.0 million in Contingent liability, long-term on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
