may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As used below and throughout this press release, the words "the
Company", "we", "us" and "our" may refer to Journey Medical. Such statements include, but are
not limited to, any statements relating to our growth strategy and product development programs and any other statements that are not
historical facts. The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "may," "expect,"
"will," "could," "project," "intend," "potential" and similar expressions
are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations
and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock
price. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated include: the fact that our products
and product candidates are subject to time and cost intensive regulation and clinical testing and as a result, may never be successfully
developed or commercialized; a substantial portion of our sales derive from products that may become subject to third-party generic competition,
the introduction of new competitor products, or an increase in market share of existing competitor products, any of which could have
a significant adverse impact on our operating income; we operate in a heavily regulated industry, and we cannot predict the impact that
any future legislation or administrative or executive action may have on our operations; our revenue is dependent mainly upon sales of
our dermatology products and any setback relating to the sale of such products could impair our operating results; competition could
limit our products' commercial opportunity and profitability, including competition from manufacturers of generic versions of our
products; the risk that our products do not achieve broad market acceptance, including by government and third-party payors; our reliance
third parties for several aspects of our operations; our dependence on our ability to identify, develop, and acquire or in-license products
and integrate them into our operations, at which we may be unsuccessful; the dependence of the success of our business, including our
ability to finance our company and generate additional revenue, on the successful commercialization of our recently approved product,
EmrosiTM, and any future product candidates that we may develop, in-license or acquire; clinical drug development is very
expensive, time consuming, and uncertain and our clinical trials may fail to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our current
or any future product candidates; our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours; risks related
to the protection of our intellectual property and our potential inability to maintain sufficient patent protection for our technology
and products; our business and operations would suffer in the event of computer system failures, cyber-attacks, or deficiencies in our
or our third parties' cybersecurity; the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; the effects of major
public health issues, epidemics or pandemics on our product revenues and any future clinical trials; our potential need to raise additional
capital; Fortress controls a voting majority of our common stock, which could be detrimental to our other shareholders; as well as other
risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024,
subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other filings we make with the SEC. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release
publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations or any
changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as may be required by law, and we claim the
protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:
the GAAP financial measures as presented in our Form 10-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
the Company has, in this press release, included certain non-GAAP measurements, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share
basic and Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes and depreciation
and amortization, less certain other non-cash and infrequent items not considered to be normal, recurring operating expenses, including,
share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairments of acquired intangible assets, severance, short-term research and development
expense and foreign exchange transaction losses. In particular, we exclude the following matters for the reasons more fully described
per share basic and Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted are determined by dividing the resulting Adjusted EBITDA by the number of shares
outstanding on an actual and fully diluted basis.
the use of these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance because (i)
it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making,
(ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company's
core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company's core operating performance and (iii) it is used by institutional
investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share basic,
Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute
for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the
Company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies, including the Company's competitors.
