Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1Our Distribution segment has historically been, and may continue to be, a low-margin business, and our profit margins may be sensitive to various factors, some of which are outside our control.
Our Distribution segment has been, and may continue to be, characterized by high volume sales with relatively low profit margins. Volatility in our pricing may have a direct impact on our profitability. Prolonged periods of product cost inflation may have a negative impact on our profit margins and results of operations to the extent we are unable to pass on all or a portion of such product cost increases to our customers. In addition, if our product mix changes, we may face increased risks of compression of our margins, as we may be unable to achieve the same level of profit margins as we are able to capture on our existing products. Our inability to effectively price our products or to reduce our expenses due to volatility in pricing could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2While we have been profitable in recent years, we have incurred significant losses since our inception and may incur losses in the future.
While we were profitable in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we have incurred significant losses since inception and as of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $17.1 million. The acquisition of the portfolio of four FDA-approved products in November 2021 resulted in the recognition of significant balances of intangible assets, as well as contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities. The recognized value of the intangible assets is amortized over their expected useful lives, resulting in significant amortization expenses included in costs of goods sold and sales and marketing expenses. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, such amortization expenses totaled $7.1 million. The contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period, which may result in significant revaluation gains or losses recognized in financial income (expenses). For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized financial expenses of $2.7 million, $8.1 million and $1.0 million with respect to such revaluation, respectively. We expect to continue to incur these significant amortization expenses for the foreseeable future, and our financial income (expenses) may continue to be affected by future remeasurement of contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities. While the acquisition of our portfolio of four FDA-approved plasma-derived hyperimmune commercial products represented an important growth driver and revenue source, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to reap the benefits of such acquisition and any other future acquisitions, and we may not be able to generate or sustain profitability in future years.
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 3Our long-term continued growth is dependent on our ability to engage in additional strategic transactions for the acquisition of products or businesses, or engage in in-licensing transactions. Our inability to secure such transactions on cost-effective terms or our inability to realize the anticipated benefits from these transactions, may negatively affect our projected growth and operating results, dilute our shareholders' ownership or cause us to incur debt or significant expense.
As part of our business development and growth strategy, we have in the past, and are actively, exploring potential strategic transactions to acquire products or businesses, or engage in in-licensing transactions, or enter into other strategic alliances or collaborations for both our Proprietary Products and Distribution segments. These opportunities may involve the acquisition or in-licensing of new products for commercialization (with or without manufacturing), as well as in-licensing agreements to manufacture plasma-derived or other products for other companies, which can provide additional revenue streams and leverage our biopharmaceuticals and plasma-derived manufacturing expertise. We may not identify additional suitable transactions, or complete such transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all. Moreover, we may devote resources to potential opportunities that are never completed, or we may incorrectly judge the value or worth of such opportunities. Even if we successfully execute a strategic transaction, we may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of such transaction, may dilute our shareholders' ownership, incur debt or assume unknown or contingent liabilities in connection therewith, and may experience losses related to our investments or dispositions. Integration of an acquired company or assets into our existing business or a transition of an asset to an acquirer or partner may not be successful and may disrupt ongoing operations, require the hiring of additional personnel and the implementation of additional internal systems and infrastructure, and require management resources that would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. Even if we are able to achieve the long-term benefits of a strategic transaction, our expenses and short-term costs may increase materially and adversely affect our liquidity. Any of the foregoing could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risk Highlights Q4, 2025
Risk Word Cloud
Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 99
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our shareholders may experience significant dilution as a result of any additional financing using our equity securities or may experience a decrease in the share price due to sales of our equity securities.
To the extent that we raise additional funds to fund our activities through the sale of equity or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, ordinary shares or substantially similar securities, your ownership interest will be diluted. Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity securities will likely dilute the ownership percentage of our shareholders. For example, in September 2023, we consummated a $60.0 million private placement of approximately 12.6 million ordinary shares to FIMI Opportunity Funds.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Future sales of ordinary shares by affiliates could cause our share price to fall.
The FIMI Opportunity Funds collectively own 22,084,287 of our outstanding ordinary shares (representing an ownership percentage of 38.28% of the outstanding shares and 37.25% on a fully diluted basis as March 1, 2026). Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with FIMI Opportunity Funds on January 20, 2020, as amended on May 23, 2023, they have "demand" and "piggyback" registration rights covering the ordinary shares of our company held by them. All shares of FIMI Opportunity Funds sold pursuant to an offering covered by a registration statement would be freely transferable. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our ordinary shares, or the perception that the FIMI Opportunity Funds may exercise their registration rights, could put downward pressure on the market price of our ordinary shares and could impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of our equity securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The significant share ownership positions and board representation of the FIMI Opportunity Funds and Leon Recanati may limit our shareholders' ability to influence corporate matters.
The FIMI Opportunity Funds (three of whose partners are members of our board of directors, one of which serves as our chairman) and Leon Recanati, a member of our board of directors, beneficially owned, directly and indirectly, approximately 38.28% and 6.03% of our outstanding ordinary shares, respectively, as of March,1 2026. For additional information, see "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Share Ownership" and "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions - Major Shareholders." Accordingly, the FIMI Opportunity Funds and Leon Recanati, through their equity ownership and board representation, individually and collectively, have significant influence over the outcome of matters required to be submitted to our shareholders for approval, including decisions relating to the election of directors (other than our external directors, for whose election the approval of the majority of shares held by non-controlling shareholders and non-interested shareholders is required under Israeli law) and the outcome of any proposed acquisition, merger or consolidation of our company. Their interests may not be consistent with those of our other shareholders. In addition, these parties' significant interest in us may discourage third parties from seeking to acquire control of us, which may adversely affect the market price of our shares. This concentration of ownership may also cause a decrease in the volume of trading or otherwise adversely affect our share price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our ordinary shares are traded on more than one market and this may result in price variations.
Our ordinary shares have been traded on the TASE since August 2005, and on Nasdaq since May 2013. Trading in our ordinary shares on these markets takes place in different currencies (U.S. dollars on Nasdaq and NIS on the TASE), and at different times (as a result of different time zones, trading days and public holidays in the United States and Israel). The trading prices of our ordinary shares on these two markets may differ due to these and other factors. Any decrease in the price of our ordinary shares on the TASE could cause a decrease in the trading price of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq, and a decrease in the price of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq could likewise cause a decrease in the trading price of our ordinary shares on the TASE.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company.
Generally, if, for any taxable year, (i) at least 75% of our gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held to produce passive income, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we are characterized as a PFIC, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences, including having gains realized on the sale of our ordinary shares treated as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, the loss of the preferential rate applicable to dividends received on our ordinary shares, and having interest charges apply to distributions by us and the proceeds of share sales. See "Item 10. Additional Information - E. Taxation - United States Federal Income Taxation." Based upon the value of our assets and the nature and composition of our income and assets, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025, however, no assurances can be made in that regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis applying principles and methodologies that in some circumstances are unclear and subject to varying interpretation.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Our share price may be volatile.
The market price of our ordinary shares is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price as a result of various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results; - overall conditions in the specialty pharmaceuticals market; - loss of significant customers or changes to agreements with our strategic partners; - changes in laws or regulations applicable to our products; - actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;- announcements of clinical trial results, technological innovations, significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors; - changes in key personnel; - fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us; - the issuance of new or updated research reports by securities analysts; - disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our technologies; - announcement of, or expectation of, additional financing efforts; - sales of our ordinary shares by us or our shareholders; - share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares; - the outcomes of litigation proceedings involving us; - share price analyses or other information disseminated by analysts, influencers, and bloggers on social media platforms; - recalls and/or adverse events associated with our products; and - general political, economic and market conditions. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market price of equity securities of many companies. Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may negatively impact the market price of our ordinary shares. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their shares have been subject to securities class action litigation or derivative actions. We, as well as our directors and officers, may also be the target of these types of litigation and actions in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they adversely change their recommendations or publish negative reports regarding our business or our shares, our share price and trading volume could be negatively impacted.
The trading market for our ordinary shares may be influenced by research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts, and we cannot provide any assurance that analysts will cover us or, if they do, provide favorable coverage. If any of the analysts who may cover us adversely change their recommendation regarding our shares, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our share price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could negatively impact our share price or trading volume.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8As we are a "foreign private issuer" and follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of otherwise applicable Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of domestic U.S. issuers that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
As a foreign private issuer, we have the option to, and we do, follow Israeli corporate governance practices rather than certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we follow instead. We have relied on this "foreign private issuer exemption" with respect to all the items listed under the heading "Item 16G. Corporate Governance," including with respect to shareholder approval requirements in respect of equity issuances and equity-based compensation plans, the requirement to have independent oversight on our director nominations process and to adopt a formal written charter or board resolution addressing the nominations process, the quorum requirement for meetings of our shareholders and the Nasdaq requirement to have a formal charter for the compensation committee. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices in Israel with regard to other matters. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. See "Item 16G. Corporate Governance."
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us and our officers and directors in Israel or the United States, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in Israel or serve process on our officers and directors.
We are incorporated in Israel. All of our directors and most of our executive officers and the Israeli experts named in this Annual Report reside outside the United States. The majority of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to enforce a U.S. court judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or any of these persons in a U.S. or Israeli court, or to effect service of process upon these persons in the United States. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws on the grounds that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. Even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact by expert witnesses, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing the matters described above. Moreover, an Israeli court will not enforce a non-Israeli judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases), if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel, if it was obtained by fraud or in the absence of due process, if it is at variance with another valid judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties, or if a suit in the same matter between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel at the time the foreign action was brought.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10Your rights and responsibilities as our shareholder are governed by Israeli law, which may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations.
Since we are incorporated under Israeli law, the rights and responsibilities of our shareholders are governed by our articles of association and Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S.-based corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith and in a customary manner in exercising its rights and performing its obligations towards the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing its power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters, such as an amendment to the company's articles of association, an increase of the company's authorized share capital, a merger of the company and approval of related party transactions that require shareholder approval. A shareholder also has a general duty to refrain from discriminating against other shareholders. In addition, a controlling shareholder or a shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote, or who has the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company or has other powers towards the company, has a duty to act in fairness towards the company. However, Israeli law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness. See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Fiduciary Duties and Approval of Specified Related Party Transactions under Israeli Law - Duties of Shareholders." There is limited case law available to assist us in understanding the nature of this duty or the implications of these provisions. These provisions may be interpreted to impose additional obligations and liabilities on our shareholders that are not typically imposed on shareholders of U.S. corporations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11Provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association may delay, prevent or make undesirable an acquisition of all or a significant portion of our shares or assets.
Certain provisions of Israeli law and our articles of association could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or for our shareholders to elect different individuals to our board of directors, even if doing so would be beneficial to our shareholders, and may limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for our ordinary shares. For example, Israeli corporate law regulates mergers and requires that a tender offer be effected when more than a specified percentage of shares in a public company are purchased. Under our articles of association, a merger shall require the approval of two-thirds of the voting rights represented at a meeting of our shareholders and voting on the matter, in person or by proxy, and any amendment to such provision shall require the approval of 60% of the voting rights represented at a meeting of our shareholders and voting on the matter, in person or by proxy. Further, Israeli tax considerations may make potential transactions undesirable to us or to some of our shareholders, including such shareholders whose country of residence does not have a tax treaty with Israel granting tax relief to such shareholders from Israeli tax. For example, Israeli tax law does not recognize tax-free share exchanges to the same extent as U.S. tax law. Further, with respect to certain mergers, while Israeli tax law permits tax deferral, the deferral is contingent on certain restrictions on future transactions, including with respect to dispositions of shares received as consideration, for a period of two years from the date of the merger. Moreover, with respect to a certain share swap transaction, the tax deferral is limited in time, and when such time expires, the tax becomes payable even if no disposition of the shares has occurred. See Exhibit 2.1, "Description of Securities -Acquisitions Under Israeli Law," incorporated herein by reference.
