Payer access for Emrosi™ expanded from approximately 100 million commercial lives to over 150 million commercial lives as of April 1, 2026

Scottsdale, AZ - April 21, 2026 - Journey Medical Corporation (Nasdaq: DERM) ("Journey Medical" or "the Company", "we", or "our"), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company primarily focused on developing, selling and marketing FDA-approved prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of dermatological conditions, today announced that approximately 85% of all commercial lives in the United States now have access to Emrosi™ (40 mg Minocycline Hydrochloride Modified-Release Capsules, 10 mg immediate release and 30 mg extended release) after contracting with the third major group purchasing organization (GPO). Emrosi™ is for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. Journey Medical continues to execute on the launch of Emrosi™, with expanded payer access anticipated to facilitate further growth in total prescription demand.

"We are extremely pleased with the completion of this milestone for Emrosi™," said Claude Maraoui, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Journey Medical Corporation. "Our focus on delivering cost-effective access to high-quality dermatology therapies is expected to expand coverage and improve patient access, positioning Emrosi™ for sustained commercial growth. Now that our contracts have been secured with the three major GPOs, we look forward to continuing to increase coverage for Emrosi™ for patients nationwide by converting access into coverage. Our efforts remain on health plan formulary adoption, on both a national and regional level, throughout 2026 and beyond, supporting Emrosi's™ potential to become the standard of care in rosacea and driving long-term value creation. As formulary adoption continues to increase, we expect there to be less reliance on our co-pay bridging program and an improvement in profitability for the brand."

About Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin condition that most commonly presents with symptoms such as deep facial redness, acne-like inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) and spider veins (telangiectasia). According to The National Rosacea Society, it is estimated that rosacea affects over 17 million Americans and as many as 415 million people worldwide. Rosacea is most frequently seen in adults between 30 and 50 years of age. Surveys conducted by The National Rosacea Society report that more than 90 percent of rosacea patients said their condition had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem, and 41 percent stated that it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements. Among rosacea patients with severe symptoms, 88 percent said the disorder had adversely affected their professional interactions, and 51 percent said they had missed work because of their condition.

Important Safety Information

Indication: EMROSI™ is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules) of rosacea in adults. Adverse Events: The most common adverse reaction reported by ≥1% of subjects treated with EMROSI and more frequently than in subjects receiving placebo was dyspepsia. Contraindications: EMROSI should not be taken by patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to any of the tetracyclines. Warnings/Precautions: Cases of anaphylaxis, serious skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome), erythema multiforme, and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome have been reported postmarketing with minocycline use in patients with acne. If DRESS syndrome is recognized, discontinue EMROSI immediately. Use during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, infancy and childhood up to the age of 8 years may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth and reversible inhibition of bone growth. Discontinue EMROSI use if Antibiotic-Associated Colitis occurs. Discontinue EMROSI if liver injury is suspected. Patients experiencing light-headedness, dizziness or vertigo should be cautioned about driving vehicles or operating heavy machinery. Clinical manifestations include headache, blurred vision, diplopia, and vision loss. Discontinue EMROSI immediately if symptoms occur. Symptoms may be manifested by fever, rash, arthralgia, and malaise. Discontinue EMROSI immediately if symptoms occur. Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight while using EMROSI. Tetracycline-class antibiotics are known to cause hyperpigmentation. EMROSI may induce hyperpigmentation in many organs, including nails, bone, skin, eyes, thyroid, visceral tissue, oral cavity, sclerae and heart valves. Because of the potential for drug-resistant bacteria to develop during the use of EMROSI, use EMROSI only as indicated. If superinfection occurs, discontinue EMROSI and institute appropriate therapy. Perform periodic laboratory evaluations of organ systems, including hematopoietic, renal and hepatic studies. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
