Revenue Revenue
The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from sales of Millipred®, an oral prednisolone indicated across a wide variety of inflammatory conditions, which is considered a prescription drug. The Company sells its prescription drug in the United States primarily through wholesale distributors. Wholesale distributors account for substantially all of the Company’s net product revenues and trade receivables. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 52%, 24%, and 24% of the Company’s total net product revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 62%, 20%, and 17% of the Company’s total net product revenues. Revenue from sales of prescription drugs was $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $4.6 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company has a license and supply agreement for the Millipred® product with a wholly owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”), which expires on September 30, 2023. Beginning July 1, 2021, Avalo is required to pay Teva fifty percent of the net profit of the Millipred® product following each calendar quarter, subject to a $0.5 million quarterly minimum payment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.7 million in cost of product sales related to the royalty. Dr. Sol Barer served as the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors until June 2021 and currently serves as the Chairman of Teva’s board of directors.

License revenue was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was related to upfront fees received in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of the out-licenses of the Company’s rights to its non-core neurology pipeline assets: AVTX-301 to Alto Neuroscience, Inc. (“Alto”) and AVTX-406 to ES Therapeutics, LLC (“ES”). ES is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (an affiliate of Armistice Capital, LLC and collectively “Armistice”), which is a significant stockholder of
the Company and whose chief investment officer, Steven Boyd, and managing director, Keith Maher, serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. The transaction with ES was approved in accordance with the Company’s related party transaction policy. Avalo is eligible to receive additional payments upon achievement of specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones for both AVTX-301 and AVTX-406 and is also eligible to royalty payments based on net sales of AVTX-301; refer to Note 14 for more information.
