What Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. told the SEC could break it.
Aquestive's present rests on one customer and its future on one approval. Today, about 73% of revenue comes from a single customer, Indivior, under an exclusive deal to make Suboxone film, and all of its manufacturing and packaging runs through two facilities in one town — Portage, Indiana — supplied with a thin-film foil available from only two sources. Its growth, meanwhile, hinges on the FDA: Libervant lost U.S. market access in April 2025 after a court challenge, leaving future revenue dependent on approval of its Anaphylm candidate. That same approval is tied to its balance sheet, since it must begin payments on 13.5% senior secured notes in June 2026 and owes RTW tiered revenue-share payments of up to $187.5–$225 million contingent on Anaphylm.
5 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings — each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.

“we would be required to make tiered revenue share payments to the Purchaser ranging from 7.5% to 1.0% of net sales (and 9.5% for subsequent calendar year periods if net sales do not achieve specified levels beginning in 2027) in the United States until the Purchaser receives $187.5 million by December 31, 2035 or $225 million thereafter.”
