NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, “Sarepta” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of unique RNA-targeted therapeutics for the treatment of rare neuromuscular diseases. Applying its proprietary, highly-differentiated and innovative platform technologies, the Company is able to target a broad range of diseases and disorders through distinct RNA-targeted mechanisms of action. The Company is primarily focused on rapidly advancing the development of its potentially disease-modifying Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”) drug candidates. On September 19, 2016, the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted accelerated approval for EXONDYS 51, indicated for the treatment of DMD in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. EXONDYS 51 is studied in clinical trials under the name of eteplirsen and is marketed in the U.S. under the trademarked name of EXONDYS 51TM (eteplirsen) Injection.

Through September 30, 2016, the Company had not generated any revenue from product sales, and the Company may never generate substantial revenue from product sales. Even if sales of EXONDYS 51 generate substantial revenue, the Company is likely to continue to incur operating losses in the near term.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $406.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments, consisting of $395.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $11.5 million of restricted cash and investments. The Company believes that its balance of cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2016 is sufficient to fund its current operational plan for the next twelve months, though it may pursue additional cash resources through public or private financings, sell its Priority Review Voucher, seek additional government funding and establish collaborations with or license its technology to other companies.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), reflect the accounts of Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions between and among its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Management has determined that the Company operates in one segment: the development of pharmaceutical products. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Estimates and Uncertainties

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based awards, research and development expenses and income taxes.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Significant Accounting Policies

         For details about the Company’s accounting policies, please read Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Related to the commercialization of EXONDYS 51, the Company updated its significant accounting policies as follows:

Revenue Recognition

       The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

 

1)

persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

2)

delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

 

3)

price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and

 

4)

collectability is reasonably assured.

6


Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer and is recorded net of applicable reserves for discounts and allowances.

The Company establishes reserves for various government rebate programs and co-payment assistance. Reserves established for these discounts and allowances are classified as either reductions of accounts receivable or a liability. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales.

Additionally, the Company also expects to maintain certain customer service contracts with distributors and other customers in the distribution channel that will provide inventory management, data and distribution services, which generally will be reflected as a reduction of revenue. To the extent the Company can demonstrate a separable benefit and fair value for these services, the Company will classify these payments in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products upon regulatory approval when future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized. Drug products to be used in clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and no longer can be used for commercial purposes.

The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s inventory for the period indicated:

 

 

 

As of

September 30,

2016

 

 

 

(in thousands)

 

Raw materials

 

$

2,712

 

Finished goods

 

 

209

 

Total inventory

 

$

2,921

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess amounts or obsolescence and writes down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. Additionally, though the Company’s product is subject to strict quality control and monitoring which it performs throughout the manufacturing processes, certain batches or units of product may not meet quality specifications. As a result, the Company will record a charge to cost of sales to write down any unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value.

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of an in-licensed right and patent costs, which are stated in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets net of accumulated amortization and impairments, if applicable.

 

The in-licensed right relates to the license agreement with the University of Western Australia (“UWA”). As a result of the FDA approval and the subsequent commercial sale of EXONDYS 51, as defined in the Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement (defined in Note 3), the Company was obligated to pay a $1.0 million sales milestone to UWA and, accordingly, has recorded an in-licensed right.  The in-licensed right will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the related patent because the life of the related patent reflects the expected time period that the Company will benefit from the in-licensed right. The amortization of the in-licensed right will be recorded as cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The following table summarizes the components of intangible assets for the period indicated:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The amendments in this update clarify how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not elected to early adopt this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The amendments in this update simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not elected to early adopt this guidance but determined that the adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which supersedes Topic 840, “Leases”. Under the new guidance, a lessee should recognize assets and liabilities that arise from its leases and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not elected to early adopt this guidance or determined the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The new standard applies only to inventory for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in, first-out and the retail inventory method, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this standard is required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not elected to early adopt this guidance but determined that the adoption of this standard will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This update requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued and to provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 will be effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not elected to early adopt this guidance, and based on the Company's financial condition as of the date these financial statements were issued or available for issuance, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have any impact on the current period financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition. Under the new guidance, a company is required to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or renders services to customers at an amount that it expects to be entitled to in exchange for these goods or services. The new standard allows for either a full retrospective with or without practical expedients or a retrospective with a cumulative catch upon adoption transition method. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which states that the mandatory effective date of this new revenue standard will be delayed by one year, with early adoption only permitted in fiscal year 2017. During the second quarter of 2016, the FASB issued three amendments to the new revenue standard to address some application questions: ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU No. 2016-11, “Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09”, and ASU No. 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. These three amendments will be effective upon adoption of Topic 606. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not yet determined which adoption method it will utilize or the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

3. SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS

University of Western Australia

In April 2013, the Company and UWA entered into an agreement under which an existing exclusive license agreement between the Company and UWA was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement”). The Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement grants the Company specific rights to the treatment of DMD by inducing the skipping of certain exons. EXONDYS 51 falls under the scope of the license agreement. Under the Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement, the

8


Company may be required to make payments of up to $6.0 million in aggregate to UWA based on the successful achievement of certain development and sales milestones relating to EXONDYS 51 and up to five additional product candidates. The Company may also be obligated to make payments to UWA of up to $20.0 million upon the achievement of certain sales milestones. Additionally, the Company may also be required to pay a low-single-digit percentage royalty on net sales of products covered by issued patents licensed from UWA during the term of the Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement. However, the Company has the option to purchase future royalties up-front. Under this option, prior to the First Amendment (defined below), the Company could be required to make a one-time royalty payment of $30.0 million to UWA.

In June 2016, the Company and UWA entered into the first amendment to the Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Under the First Amendment, the Company was obligated to make an up-front payment of $7.0 million to UWA upon execution of the amendment. Under the terms of the First Amendment, UWA has waived certain rights and amended the timing of certain payments under the Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement, including lowering the up-front payment that is due by the Company upon exercise of the option to purchase future royalties up-front. Upon exercise of the option to purchase future royalties up-front, the Company would still be obligated to make up to $20.0 million in payments to UWA upon achievement of certain sales milestones.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, relating to the development milestone and up-front payments to UWA as research and development expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Additionally, corresponding to the FDA approval and the subsequent commercial sale of EXONDYS 51, as defined in the Amended and Restated UWA License Agreement, the Company recorded a $1.0 million milestone as an in-license right in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016.

 

 

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company has certain financial assets that are recorded at fair value which have been classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements.

 

Level 1 — quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

 

Level 3 — valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant value drivers are unobservable.

The tables below present information about the Company’s financial assets that are measured and carried at fair value and indicate the level within the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques it utilizes to determine such fair value:

The Company’s assets with fair value categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy include money market funds and certificates of deposit. Money market funds are publicly traded mutual funds and are presented as cash equivalents in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016.

9


The Company’s assets with fair value categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy consist of commercial paper, government and government agency bonds and corporate bonds. These assets have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, through income-based approaches utilizing observable market data.

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts for long-term debt approximate fair value based on market activity for other debt instruments with similar characteristics and comparable risk.

 

5. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

It is the Company’s policy to mitigate credit risk in its financial assets by maintaining a well-diversified portfolio that limits the amount of exposure as to maturity and investment type. As of September 30, 2016, the Company did not hold any available-for-sale securities. The weighted average maturity of the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2015 was approximately four months.

The following tables summarize the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments for each of the periods indicated; as of September 30, 2016, there were no short-term investments.

9. RESTRUCTURING

 

In March 2016, the Company announced a long-term plan (“Corvallis plan”) to consolidate all of the Company’s operations to Massachusetts and reduce its workforce by approximately 19% as part of a strategic plan to increase operational efficiency. During the remainder of the year, the Company plans to close its facility in Corvallis, Oregon, which primarily focused on early-stage research and research manufacturing. As part of the consolidation, research activities and some employees will transition to the Company’s facilities in Andover and Cambridge, Massachusetts. The consolidation efforts are planned to occur in four waves - May, October, November and December of 2016, with an estimated completion date of December 30, 2016. The restructuring costs of the Corvallis plan consist of costs associated with its workforce reduction and facility consolidation. The workforce reduction costs primarily relate to employee severance and benefits. Facility consolidation costs are primarily associated with non-cancellable lease obligations as well as accelerated depreciation for certain assets whose expected useful lives are shortened due to the consolidation. The Company has not determined the financial impact related to the non-cancellable lease obligation for the Corvallis facility but is currently obligated to make $4.3 million of lease payments after the estimated completion date of the consolidation plan. The Company estimates restructuring expenses of $1.8 million related to accelerated depreciation and workforce reduction costs, the latter of which will be accrued as earned over the service period for each employee.

 

In August 2016, the Company implemented a restructuring plan in Cambridge, Massachusetts (“Cambridge plan”) and reduced  its workforce by approximately 6%. The restructuring costs associated with the Cambridge plan consist of costs associated with workforce reduction totaling $0.7 million. The Cambridge plan was completed as of October 31, 2016.

11


For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $1.3 million and $2.4 million of restructuring expenses, respectively,  $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of which related to workforce reduction.

The following table summarizes the restructuring costs by function for the periods indicated:

Included in 2016 stock option grants are 287,500 options with performance conditions. As a result of the approval of EXONDYS 51, 25% of these performance grants vested immediately and another 25% were triggered to be eligible for vesting subject to the remaining service conditions of the awards. As of September 30, 2016, the performance conditions of the remaining 50% were not probable of being achieved. The remaining stock options granted during the periods presented in the table have only service-based criteria and vest over four years.

 

(2)

The Company granted certain employees 91,778 restricted stock awards (“RSA”) with certain sales targets. If and when deemed probable that such performance milestones may be achieved within the required time frame, the Company may recognize up to $4.5 million of stock-based compensation related to these grants.

 

(3)

Included in the 2016 RSA grants are 18,755 shares granted to certain employees in lieu of a portion of their 2015 annual bonus payments. These RSA grants were fully vested as of September 30, 2016. The remaining RSAs will be fully vested by June 2017.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, total stock-based compensation expense was $9.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, total stock-based compensation expense was $23.1 million and $25.8 million, respectively. As a result of the FDA approval of EXONDYS 51, certain performance criteria for options

12


with performance conditions were met during the quarter. The Company recognized approximately $3.7 million in stock-based compensation expense related to these options. Included in the amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is $8.6 million of stock-based compensation expense incurred in connection with the resignation of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer.

11. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Given that the Company generated a net loss for each of the periods presented, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share since the effect of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, would be excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation.
