SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND PROJECTIONS

Various statements in this report of Alimera Sciences, Inc. (we, our, Alimera or the Company) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on information currently available to our management. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “contemplates,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “likely,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or words, identify forward-looking statements. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. Meaningful factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have customers, employees and distributors;

the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales of ILUVIEN® resulting from (a) limitations on in-person access to physicians for treatment imposed by governments or healthcare facilities and (b) the unwillingness of patients, many of whom suffer from diabetic macular edema and, in Europe, non-infectious uveitis, to visit their physicians in person for fear of contracting the COVID-19 coronavirus;

financial uncertainty associated with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration of those effects, which had an adverse effect on our revenue beginning late in the first quarter and continuing through the third quarter of 2020 and may in the future have an adverse effect on our revenue and on our financial condition and cash flows as well as an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of our quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and recoverability of certain receivables;

the possibility that the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to changes in reimbursement policies and reduce market access for ILUVIEN in countries where we sell ILUVIEN;

the possibility that we may fail to maintain or modify as necessary our internal controls over financial reporting in the current environment in which (a) some of our employees may be required to work remotely from time to time and (b) we or our distributors are required to modify our standard business processes to take into account the current environment in light of the COVID-19 pandemic;

the possibility of reduced efficiency and potential distractions of our employees resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting loss of productivity;

Financial Risks

the possibility that we may fail to comply with minimum required revenue and liquidity covenants in our $45.0 million loan and security agreement with Solar Capital Ltd.;

the possibility that we may not be entitled to forgiveness of our PPP Loan;

our possible need to raise additional financing;

uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow through the commercialization of ILUVIEN in the U.S., the European Economic Area and other regions of the world where we sell ILUVIEN;

a slowdown or reduction in our sales due to, in addition to the other factors cited above, a reduction in end user demand, unexpected competition, regulatory issues, or other unexpected circumstances;

Table of Contents

Manufacturing Risks

uncertainty associated with our transition from the previous third-party manufacturer of certain component parts of the ILUVIEN applicator to the successor manufacturer;

dependence on third-party manufacturers to manufacture ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates in sufficient quantities and quality, in a timely manner, and at an acceptable price;

the possibility that we may fail to plan appropriately to meet the demand of our customers for ILUVIEN, which could lead either to (a) ILUVIEN being out of stock or (b) our investment of a greater amount of cash in inventory than we need;

Regulatory Risks

uncertainty regarding the pricing and reimbursement guidelines for ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates, including ILUVIEN in new markets;

uncertainty associated with our pursuit of reimbursement approval from local health authorities in certain countries for the recently obtained additional indication for ILUVIEN for prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIU-PS);

delay in or failure to obtain regulatory and reimbursement approval of ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates in additional countries;

uncertainty associated with our ability to meet any post-market requirements for NIU-PS in the European Economic Area;

uncertainty associated with our ability to successfully commercialize ILUVIEN following regulatory approval in additional markets;

Other Risks

uncertainty associated with our ability to retain our current employees and to recruit and retain the new employees we need in the future, in particular a productive sales force;

the possibility that we may fail to comply with the Nasdaq listing standards in the future; and

the possibility that the NEW DAY Study may fail to demonstrate the efficacy of ILUVIEN as baseline therapy in patients with early diabetic macular edema (DME) or to generate data demonstrating the benefits of ILUVIEN when compared to the current leading therapy for DME.

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We caution investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements we make or that are made on our behalf. We undertake no obligation and specifically decline any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Please see, however, any further disclosures we make on related subjects in any annual, quarterly or current reports that we may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We encourage you to read the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and ourthe accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (Interim Financial Statements) contained in this report.Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We also encourage you to read Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, entitled “Risk Factors,” and Item 1A of Part I1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,FY 2020, entitled “Risk Factors,” which contains a more detailed discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. In addition to the risks described above,summarized below and in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect our results. There can be no assurance that we will in fact achieve the actual results or developments we anticipate or, even if we do substantially realize them, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Therefore, we can give no assurances that we will achieve the outcomes stated in those forward-looking statements and estimates. Meaningful factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have customers, employees and distributors;

the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales of ILUVIEN® resulting from (a) limitations on in-person access to physicians for treatment imposed by governments or healthcare facilities, including those imposed in the U.K. and Europe (notably in Germany), and (b) the unwillingness of patients, many of whom suffer from diabetes and diabetic macular edema and, in Europe and the U.K., non-infectious uveitis, to visit their physicians in person for fear of contracting the COVID-19 coronavirus;

the financial uncertainty associated with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the duration and severity of those effects, which had an adverse effect on our revenue beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing to the date of this report, and if these adverse effects continue in the future, they may (a) adversely affect our revenue, financial condition and cash flows, and (b) affect certain estimates we use to prepare our quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and recoverability of certain receivables;

the possibility that the restrictions placed on regulatory and pricing bodies will delay or defer market access for ILUVIEN as we seek to secure reimbursement;

the possibility that the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to changes in reimbursement policies and reduce market access for ILUVIEN in countries where we sell ILUVIEN;

the possibility that staffing shortages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will recur at the third-party manufacturer where the ILUVIEN implant is made and the ILUVIEN applicator is assembled and packaged that may lead to product shortages;

the possibility that distribution of the ILUVIEN insert or applicator may be disrupted by government action related to COVID-19 or by the effect of the pandemic on our manufacturers’ or distributors’ workforces;

the possibility of reduced efficiency and potential distractions of our employees resulting from the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting loss of productivity;

4


Table of Contents

the possibility that the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will cause our distributors to vary the way they manage inventory, which will cause our revenue to be inconsistent quarter to quarter;

Operational Risks

our dependence on the commercial success of our only product, ILUVIEN;

the competition we face, given that our competitors include larger, more established, fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies that have substantially greater capital resources, existing competitive products, larger research and development staffs and facilities, greater marketing capabilities, and greater experience in drug development and in obtaining regulatory approvals than we do;

uncertainty associated with our ability to retain our current employees and to recruit and retain the new employees we need in the future, in particular a productive sales force;

the possibility that the NEW DAY Study may (a) fail to demonstrate the efficacy of ILUVIEN as baseline therapy in patients with early diabetic macular edema (DME) or to generate data demonstrating the benefits of ILUVIEN when compared to the current leading therapy for DME, and (b) take longer to enroll or be more costly to complete than we currently anticipate;

our possible inability to expand our portfolio of ophthalmic products;

Manufacturing Risks

uncertainty associated with our transition from the previous third-party manufacturer of certain component parts of the ILUVIEN applicator to Cadence, Inc., the successor manufacturer;

the possibility that the necessary regulatory approvals and qualification may not be obtained from the FDA in time to permit Cadence, Inc. to manufacture the components used in the ILUVIEN applicator to satisfy our inventory needs within the U.S. market;

our dependence on third-party manufacturers to manufacture ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates in sufficient quantities and quality, in a timely manner (particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic), and at an acceptable price;

the possibility that we may fail to plan appropriately to meet the demand of our customers for ILUVIEN, which could lead either to (a) ILUVIEN being out of stock or (b) our investment of a greater amount of cash in inventory than we need;

Financial Risks

the possibility that we may fail to comply with the financial covenants in our $45.0 million Loan and Security Agreement with SLR Investment Corp. (SLR, f/k/a Solar Capital Ltd.) as Collateral Agent (Agent), and certain other lenders, including SLR in its capacity as a lender, dated December 31, 2019, as amended;

our possible need to raise additional financing, the terms of which may restrict our operations and, if the capital we raise is equity or a debt security that is convertible into equity, could dilute our stockholders’ investment;

uncertainty regarding our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow through the commercialization of ILUVIEN in the U.S., the European Economic Area (EEA) and other regions of the world where we sell ILUVIEN;

a slowdown or reduction in our sales due to, among other things, a reduction in end user demand, unexpected competition, regulatory issues or other unexpected circumstances;

Regulatory Risks

uncertainty associated with our pursuit of reimbursement from local health authorities in certain countries for the additional indication for ILUVIEN for prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIU-PS);

delay in or failure to obtain regulatory approval and reimbursement of ILUVIEN or any future products or product candidates in additional markets where we do not currently sell ILUVIEN;

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Alimera Sciences, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company), is a pharmaceutical company that specializes in the commercializationdevelopment and developmentcommercialization of ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. The Company presently focuses on diseases affecting the back of the eye, or retina, because the Company believes these diseases are not well treated with current therapies and affect millions of people globally. The Company’s only product is ILUVIEN®, (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.19 mg, which has received marketing authorization and reimbursement approval in 24 countries for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). In the U.S. and certain other countries outside Europe, ILUVIEN is indicated for the treatment of DME in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. In 17 countries in Europe, ILUVIEN is indicated for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. In addition, ILUVIEN has received marketing authorization in 1617 European countries and reimbursement approval in 25 countries Germany and the U.K., for the prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment (NIU-PS).

The Company markets ILUVIEN directly in the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Portugal and Ireland. TheIreland and has made ILUVIEN available in the Nordic Region (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) with the support of an exclusive wholesaler. In addition, the Company has entered into various agreements under which distributors are providing or will provide to varying degrees regulatory, reimbursement and sales and marketing support for ILUVIEN in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand Canada and several countries in the Middle East.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company has recognized sales of ILUVIEN to the Company’sits international distributors incovering the Middle East, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Spain.the Netherlands.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, businesses, and the public at large to limit the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread have had, and the Company expects will continue to have, certain negative effects on, and present certain risks to, the Company’s business. These limitations and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had an adverse impact on our revenues beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing through the second quarter of 2021. The Company expects these factors to continue to adversely impact our revenue, and the extent and duration of that impact is uncertain at this time, particularly in light of the emergence of COVID-19 variants that increase the transmissibility of the coronavirus and may be more deadly. Depending on the duration of these limitations and the severity and duration of other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our liquidity and financial condition may be adversely affected in the future as well. This uncertainty could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and realizability of certain receivables. Should the pandemic continue for an extended period, the continued impact on the Company’s operations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, financial condition and cash flows.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its financial position and operations. These measures include the following:

The Company is continuing to monitor the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 variants and to manage its cost structure where possible to mitigate any anticipated loss of revenue in those markets that are affected.

Because the Company believes that its employees are critical to both (a) serving its customers and patients through alternative forms of engagement as the pandemic-related restrictions continue, and (b) realizing the long-term value of ILUVIEN, the Company has sought to maintain its staffing levels at the historical levels.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (Interim Financial Statements) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.

The accompanying Interim Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020. The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the expected financial results for the full year.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, businesses, and the public at large to limit the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread have had, and the Company expects will continue to have, certain negative effects on, and present certain risks to, the Company’s business. The Company is currently unable to fully determine the COVID-19 pandemic’s future impact on the Company’s business. These limitations and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the Company’s revenues late in the first quarter and continuing through the third quarter of 2020. The Company expects these factors to continue to adversely impact the Company’s revenue, and the extent and duration of that impact is uncertain at this time. The Company is monitoring the pandemic and its potential effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This uncertainty could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and realizability of certain receivables. Should the pandemic continue for an extended period, the impact on the Company’s operations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, financial condition and cash flows.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reverse Stock SplitReclassifications

On November 14, 2019,Within the operating expenses section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as well as within the International segment (see Note 15), the Company filed a certificate of amendmentreclassified $184,000 and $383,000, respectively, in sales and marketing expenses associated with its country managers in Europe from general and administrative expenses to its restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of Statesales and marketing expenses. The Company made this reclassification to provide additional transparency of the Stateactivity being performed and to conform them to the current quarter presentation. These changes had no impact on previously reported consolidated balance sheets, net loss on our statements of Delaware, which effected a one-for-15 reverse stock split (the reverse split) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at 5:01 PM Eastern Time on that date. As a result of the reverse split, every 15 shares of common stock then issued and outstanding were converted into one share of common stock. The Company paidoperations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit or cash in lieu of fractional shares, and accordingly, 0 fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split.flows.

The reverse split did not change the par valueAdoption of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding options, preferred stock, restricted stock units, warrants and other securities entitling their holders to purchase or otherwise receive shares of Alimera’s common stock have been adjusted as a result of the reverse split, as required by the terms of each security. The number of shares available to be awarded under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the number of shares that are purchasable under the 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan have also been appropriately adjusted.

New Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC326)): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology thatreflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. The standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.Standard

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.Taxes. The standard eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and (3) exceptions in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also is designed to improve financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax and (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The standard becomesbecame effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.

This standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the optional guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This standard simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of the ASU.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Overview

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the related good or service. The amount recognized reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following steps as outlined in the guidance: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At the inception of a contract, the contract is evaluated to determine if it falls within the scope of ASC 606, followed by the Company’s assessment of the goods or services promised within each contract, assessment of whether the promised good or service is distinct and determination of the performance obligations. The Company then recognizes revenue based on the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions related to the performance obligations.

Net RevenueProduct Sales

The Company sells its products to major pharmaceutical distributors, pharmacies, hospitals and wholesalers (collectively, its Customers). In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with healthcare providers and payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase

of the Company’s products. All of the Company’s current contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct.

All of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales. The Company recognizes revenues from product sales at a point in time when the Customer obtains control, typically upon delivery. The Company accrues for fulfillment costs when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had received a total of $1,000,000 of milestone payments in connection with the Company’s Canadian distributor that it has not recognized as revenue based on the Company’s analysis in connection with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). These deferred revenues are included as a component of other non-current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets.

Estimates of Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for reserves related to statutory rebates to State Medicaid and other government agencies; commercial rebates and fees to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), distributors, and specialty pharmacies; product returns; sales discounts (including trade discounts); distributor costs; wholesaler chargebacks; and allowances for patient assistance programs relating to the Company’s sales of its products.

These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. Management’s estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and Customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. If actual results vary, the Company may adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.

With respect to the Company’s international contracts with third partythird-party distributors, certain contracts have elements of variable consideration, and management reviews those contracts on a regular basis and makes estimates of revenue based on historical ordering patterns and known market eventstrends and data. The amount of variable consideration included in net sales in each period could vary depending on the terms of these contracts and the probability of reversal in future periods.

Consideration Payable to Customers

Distribution service fees are payments issued to distributors for compliance with various contractually-defined inventory management practices or services provided to support patient access to a product. Distribution service fees reserves are based on the terms of each individual contract and are classified within accrued expenses and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Product Returns

The Company’s policies provide for product returns in the following circumstances: (a) expiration of shelf life on certain products; (b) product damaged while in the Customer’s possession; and (c) following product recalls. Generally, returns for expired product are accepted three months before and up to one year after the expiration date of the related product, and the related product is destroyed after it is returned. The Company may either refund the sales price paid by the Customer by issuing a credit or exchangingexchange the returned product for replacement inventory. The Company typically does not provide cash refunds. The Company estimates the proportion of recorded revenue that will result in a return by considering relevant factors, including historical returns experience, the estimated level of inventory in the distribution channel, the shelf life of products and product recalls, if any.

The estimation process for product returns involves, in each case, several interrelating assumptions, which vary for each Customer. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue from product sales in the period the related revenue is recognized, and because this returned product cannot be resold, there is no corresponding asset for product returns. To date, product returns have been minimal.

OtherLicense Revenue

The Company enters into agreements in which it licenses certain rights to its products to partner companies that act as distributors. The terms of these arrangementsthe license agreement may include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable up-front license fees; development, regulatory and commercialfees, milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply servicesif specified objectives are achieved, and/or royalties on product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from upfront payments at a point in time, typically upon fulfilling the Company provides; and a revenue share on net salesdelivery of licensed products. Each of these payments is recognized as other revenues.the associated intellectual property to the customer.

As partThe Company will recognize sales-based milestone payments as revenue upon the achievement of the accounting for these arrangements,cumulative sales amount specified in the contract in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65. For those milestone payments which are contingent on the occurrence of particular future events, the Company must develop estimatesdetermines that require judgmentthese need to be considered for inclusion in the calculation of total consideration from the contract as a component of variable consideration using the expected value method. As such, the Company assesses each milestone to determine the stand-alone selling price forprobability of and substance behind achieving each performance obligation identified inmilestone. Given the contract. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the Customer, andinherent uncertainty associated with these future events, the Company recognizes revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price; these assumptions may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical, regulatory and commercial success.

Certain of these agreements include consideration in the form of milestone payments. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates the recognition of milestone payments. Typically, milestone payments are associated with events that are not entirely within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are included in the transaction price, and are subject to a constraint until it is probable that there will not berecognize revenue from such milestones until there is a significant revenue reversal,high probability of occurrence, which typically occurs near or upon achievement of the milestone. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price.event.

Customer Payment Obligations

The Company receives payments from its Customers based on billing schedules established in each contract, which vary across the Company’s locations,markets, but generally range between 30 to 120 days. Occasionally, the Company extends the timing of its receipt of payment forfrom the Company’s international Customers can be extended.Customers. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation is that the Customer will pay for the product or services in one year or less of receiving those products or services.

 

5. LEASES

The Company evaluates all of its contracts to determine whether it is or contains a lease at inception. The Company reviews its contracts for options to extend, terminate or purchase any right of use assets and accounts for these, as applicable, at inception of the contract. Lease renewal options are not recognized as part of the lease liability until the Company determines it is reasonably certain it will exercise any applicable renewal options. The Company has not recorded any liability for renewal options in these Interim Financial Statements. The useful lives of leased assets as well as leasehold improvements, if any, are limited by the expected lease term.

Further, the Company must maintain compliance with the debt covenants of its $45,000,000 Loan and Security Agreement dated December 31, 2019 with Solar Capital Ltd.SLR Investment Corp., as amended (see Note 10). In management’s opinion, the uncertainty regarding future revenues raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without access to additional debt and/or equity financing over the course of the next twelve months.

To meet the Company’s future working capital needs, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing. While the Company has from time to time has been able to raise additional capital through issuance of equity and/or debt financing, and while the Company has implemented a plan to control its expenses to satisfy its obligations due within one year from the date of issuance of these Interim Financial Statements, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to maintain debt compliance, raise additional equity, contain or reduce expenses, or increase revenue. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after these Interim Financial Statements are issued.

Property and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of such assets in relation to the operating performance and future estimated undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The assessment of the recoverability of assets will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved.

In April of 2020, as a result of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s statements of operations, the Company performed an asset impairment analysis by comparing future undiscounted cash flows of the identified asset group to the carrying value of that asset group. The Company concluded 0 impairment was necessary.

9. LICENSE AGREEMENTS

EyePoint Agreement

In February 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with EyePoint (formerly known as pSivida US, Inc.) for the use of fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) in EyePoint’s proprietary insert technology. This agreement was subsequently amended a number of times (as amended, the EyePoint Agreement). The EyePoint Agreement provides the Company with a worldwide exclusive license to utilize certain underlying technology used in the development and commercialization of ILUVIEN.

In July 2017, the Company amended and restated its license agreement with EyePoint, which was made effective July 1, 2017 (the New Collaboration Agreement). Under the New Collaboration Agreement, the Company has the right to the technology underlying ILUVIEN for the treatment of (a) human eye diseases, including uveitis, in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and (b) human eye diseases other than uveitis worldwide. The New Collaboration Agreement converted the Company’s previous profit share obligation to a royalty payable on global net revenues of ILUVIEN. The Company began paying a 2% royalty on net revenues and other related consideration to EyePoint on July 1, 2017. The royalty amount increased to 6% effective December 12, 2018. The Company is required to pay an additional 2% royalty on global net revenues and other related consideration in excess of $75,000,000 in any year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $499,000 and $1,481,000 of royalty expense, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $514,000 and $1,464,000 of royalty expense, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization.

Following the signing of the New Collaboration Agreement, the Company retained a right to recover up to $15,000,000 of commercialization costs that were incurred prior to profitability of ILUVIEN and to offset a portion of future payments owed to EyePoint with these accumulated commercialization costs, referred to as the Future Offset. Due to the uncertainty of future net profits, the Company has fully reserved the Future Offset in the accompanying Interim Financial Statements. In March 2019, pursuant to the New Collaboration Agreement, the Company forgave $5,000,000 of the Future Offset in connection with the approval of ILUVIEN for NIU-PS in the U.K. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the balance of the Future Offset was approximately $8,117,000.

The right to exercise this warrant expires on October 20, 2021.

 

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS)

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), which requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company’s preferred stockholders participate in dividends equally with common stockholders (if the Company were to declare and pay dividends), the Company uses the two-class method to calculate EPS. However, the Company’s preferred stockholders are not contractually obligated to share in losses.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss)or loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. In periods where a net loss is recorded, no effect is given to potentially dilutive securities, since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company had net income available to stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the Ocumension share purchase agreement, which closed on April 14, 2021.

Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common and participating shares of common stock for the period were as follows:

14. INCOME TAXES

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, the Company’s best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company also applies the provisions for income taxes related to, among other things, accounting for uncertain tax positions and disclosure requirements. The Company’s recorded liability for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2020 has increased by approximately $4,500 as compared to December 31, 2019. There has been no change to the Company’s policy that recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted and signed into law. In addition to other provisions, the CARES Act contains modifications to Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryback rules. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was no impact to the tax provision related to the CARES Act. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the CARES Act and how other elections may impact our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures, if needed.

At December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had U.S. federal NOL carry-forwards of approximately $125,756,000$131,400,000 and state NOL carry-forwards of approximately $172,993,000$96,200,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The Company’s U.S. federal NOL carry-forwards remain fully reserved as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Except for the NOLs generated after 2017, the U.S. federal NOLs not fully utilized will expire at various dates between 2029 and 2037;2038; most state NOL carry-forwards will expire at various dates between 20202021 and 2039.2040. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, U.S. federal NOLs and some state NOLs generated after 2017 will carryforward indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cumulative book losses in foreign subsidiaries of $136,500,000. The Company had not recorded a deferred tax asset for the excess of tax over book basis in the stock of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest in its foreign subsidiaries all undistributed earnings of and original investments in such subsidiaries. As a result, the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Company does not expect to record deferred tax liabilities in the future related to excesses of book over tax basis in the stock of its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 740-30-25.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized income in its U.K. subsidiary associated with the agreements with Ocumension Therapeutics. This income will cause the U.K. subsidiary to be taxable in 2021 and will result in local country income tax expense in the U.K. The Company has calculated its income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in accordance with ASC 740-270. The increase in the effective tax rate compared to prior periods is primarily due to the income recognized in association with the Ocumension Therapeutics agreements.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 2 customers within the U.S. segment that are large pharmaceutical distributors accounted for 54% and 34%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated product revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, these two customers within the U.S. segment accounted for 52% and 43%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated product revenues. These same 2 customers within the U.S. segment accounted for approximately 65% and 67% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), changed the manner in which the CODM monitors performance, aligns strategies and allocates resources, which resulted in a change in the operating segments. The Company’s operations are now managed as three operating segments: U.S., International and Operating Cost. The Company determined that each of these operating segments represented a reportable segment. Previously, the Company was managed as two operating segments: U.S. and International.

The Company’s U.S. and International segments represent the sales and marketing, general and administrative and research & development activities dedicated to the respective geographies. The Operating Cost segment primarily represents the general & administrative and research & development activities not specifically associated with the U.S. or International segments and includes expenses such as executive management; information technology administration and support; legal; compliance; clinical studies; and business development.

Each of the Company’s U.S., International and Operating Cost segments is separately managed and is evaluated primarily upon segment income or loss from operations. Other is presented to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated totals. The Company does not report balance sheet information by segment because the Company’s CODM does not review that information. The Company allocates certain operating expenses among its reporting segments based on activity-based costing methods. These activity-based costing methods require the Company to make estimates that affect the amount of each expense category that is attributed to each segment. Changes in these estimates will directly affect the amount of expense allocated to each segment and therefore the operating profit of each reporting segment.

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, in determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. The hierarchy of those valuation approaches is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The valuation under this approach does not purportentail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals or current market) and contractual prices for the underlying financial instrument, as well as other relevant economic measures.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following fair value table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

We presently focus on diseases affecting the back of the eye, or retina, because we believe these diseases are not well treated with current therapies and affect millions of people globally. Our only product is ILUVIEN®, which has received marketing authorization and reimbursement approval in numerous countries for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME).DME. In addition,the U.S. and certain other countries outside Europe, ILUVIEN has received marketing authorizationis indicated for the treatment of DME in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. In 17 countries in Europe, ILUVIEN is indicated for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. ILUVIEN is also now indicated in 16 European countries and reimbursement approval in two countries, Germany and the U.K.,Europe for the prevention of relapse in recurrent non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (NIU-PS).

We market ILUVIEN directly in the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Portugal, Austria and Ireland. WeIreland, and have made ILUVIEN available in the Nordic Region (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) with the support of an exclusive wholesaler.

We launched ILUVIEN for the NIU-PS indication in Germany and the U.K. during the third quarter of 2019, the Netherlands during the fourth quarter of 2020 and Luxembourg in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, we secured reimbursement of ILUVIEN for NIU-PS with the major private insurers in Ireland in the first quarter of 2021.

ILUVIEN became commercially available in Finland and Denmark during the first quarter of 2021 and in Norway during the second quarter of 2021. ILUVIEN is commercialized in the Nordic Region through a direct commercial team and our contracted wholesaler partner.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The unprecedented and adverse effectsevents of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have customers, employees and distributors have had an adverse effect on our sales of ILUVIEN and thus on our net revenues and may in the future have an adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. These adverse effects of the pandemic on us have resulted from the following, among other factors. Governmentsfactors:

Limitations imposed by governments and private parties imposed limitations on in-person access to physicians which adversely affectsaffect us in at least two ways. First, these limitations can affect patient access to treatment. Because ILUVIEN is administered only by an injection into the eye, telemedicine is not a viable substitute when administration of treatment is required. Second, limitations on in-person access to physicians also makes it difficult or impossible for our sales representatives (including those employed by our distributors) to meet with retina specialists and their staff to educate them about ILUVIEN.

Our business isPatients’ concerns about their personal health during the COVID-19 pandemic have also negatively affected by patients’ concerns in the current environment.our business. Prior to the pandemic, most of our ILUVIEN sales were driven by the use of ILUVIEN to treat diabetic macular edema, or DME. Given that health authorities have cited diabetes as a factor that places a person at higher risk for severe illness from the COVID-19 pandemic, many DME patients are hesitant or even unwilling to visit their physicians in person (even if otherwise permitted) for fear of contracting the COVID-19 coronavirus. In addition, the adverse effect of DME on a patient’s vision can progress slowly over time, and patients may defer seeking treatment until their loss of vision is significant, which we believe may negatively affect user demand for ILUVIEN.

In addition to the effects of limitations on in-person access to physicians, limitations on travel within and between the countries in which we market and sell ILUVIEN, as well as various types of “shelter in place” orders, have curtailed our in-person marketing activities.

The occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic “waves” in individual countries and the uneven level of vaccination across countries have created further difficulty in planning and forecasting business activity and resulted in a reduced ability to consistently and effectively market ILUVIEN in affected countries; and

As physicians gain increased access to patients, physicians face a backlog of patients presenting other chronic illnesses the physicians may prioritize ahead of DME, thereby reducing or delaying the number of ILUVIEN treatments that might otherwise have been performed.

These limitations and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had an adverse impact on our revenues beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing through the third quarterdate of 2020.this report. We expect these factors to continue to adversely impact our revenue butand

Net Revenue

We generate revenue from ILUVIEN, our only product. In addition to generating revenue from product sales, we seek to generate revenue from other sources such as upfront fees, milestone payments in connection with collaborative or strategic relationships, and royalties resulting from the licensing of ILUVIEN or any future product candidates and other intellectual property. In that regard, we recognized $11.0 million in revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from our transactions with Ocumension. Revenue from our U.S.international distributors and revenue from our partners in the markets in our international segment where we do not sell direct fluctuates depending on the timing of the shipment of ILUVIEN to the distributors and the distributors’ sales of ILUVIEN to their customers.

Net revenue decreasedincreased by approximately $400,000,$11.7 million, or 3%117%, to approximately $12.5$21.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, compared to approximately $12.9$10.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The decreaseincrease was primarily attributable to a $1.7(a) the $11.0 million of recognized license revenue decreasefrom our transactions with Ocumension and (b) the recognition of $1.0 million in deferred product revenue associated with the termination of our Canadian distribution agreement with Knight Therapeutics, both of which were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Cost of Goods Sold, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization, and Gross Profit

Gross profit is affected by costs of goods sold, which includes costs of manufactured goods sold and royalty payments to EyePoint under the New Collaboration Agreement.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss)Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders per Share of Common Stock

We follow FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260), which requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Because our preferred stockholders participate in dividends equally with common stockholders (if we were to declare and pay dividends), we use the two-class method to calculate EPS. However, our preferred stockholders are not contractually obligated to share in losses.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss)loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 by adjusting weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of

common stock options, restricted stock units and warrants. In periods where a net loss is recorded, no effect is given to potentially dilutive securities, sincebecause the effect would be anti-dilutive.

We had net income available to stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the Ocumension share purchase agreement.

Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common and participating shares of common stock for the period were as follows:

Results of Operations - Segment Review

The following selected unaudited financial and operating data are derived from our Interim Financial Statements. The results and discussions that follow reflect how executive management monitors the performance of our reporting segments.

We haveDuring the first quarter of 2021, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is our chief operating decision maker (CODM), changed the manner in which the CODM monitors performance, aligns strategies and allocates resources, which resulted in a change in our operating segments. Our operations are now managed as three operating segments: U.S., International and Other. Operating Cost. We determined that each of these operating segments represented a reportable segment. Previously, the business was managed as two operating segments: U.S. and International.

Our U.S. and International segments represent the sales and marketing, general and administrative and research & development activities dedicated to the respective geographies. The Operating Cost segment primarily represents the general & administrative and research & development activities not specifically associated with the U.S. or International segments and include expenses such as executive management; information technology administration and support; legal; compliance; clinical studies; and business development.

Each segmentof our U.S., International and Operating Cost segments is separately managed and is evaluated primarily upon segment gainincome or loss from operations. Non-cash items including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization are categorized as Other.Other is presented to reconcile to our consolidated totals. We do not report balance sheet information by segment because our CODM does not review that information. We allocate certain operating expenses between our reporting segments based on activity-based costing methods. These activity-based costing methods require us to make estimates that affect the amount of each expense

category that is attributed to each segment. Changes in these estimates will directly affect the amount of expense allocated to each segment and therefore the operating profit of each reporting segment. There were no significant changes in our expense allocation methodology during 2020 or 2019.

This decrease was offset by our increased royalty expense payable on net revenue, partially due to the increased royalty percentage payable to EyePoint from 4% in the 2020 periods to 5.2% in the 2021 periods with an additional impact from the license revenue associated with the Ocumension transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Since inception, we have incurred recurring losses, negative cash flow from operations and have accumulated a deficit in stockholders’ equity of $391.3$389.0 million through Septemberas of June 30, 2020.2021. As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $24.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. In mid-April 2021 we received a total of $20.0 million in cash from the Ocumension transaction described above. We intend to use these funds to continue to commercialize ILUVIEN, to fund our NEW DAY clinical trial and for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, other clinical trial expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies, products or businesses in ophthalmology, and investments.

As explained above in “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic,” the unprecedented and adverse effectsevents of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its unpredictable duration, in the regions where we have customers, employees and distributors have had an adverse effect on our sales of ILUVIEN and thus on our net revenues. Depending on therevenues and capital resources. The extent and duration of the pandemic and the success of our strategy to conserve our cash and otherwise mitigate the impact of the pandemic, the pandemic may have an adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition in the future as well. We expect that the pandemic may continue to adversely affect our operations. As a result, it is difficult to project the extent of that impact nowis uncertain at this time, particularly in light of the emergence of COVID-19 variants that increase the transmissibility of the coronavirus and as this situation continues to evolve.may be more deadly.

Since January 2018,2019, we have funded our operations through (a) cash received from our sales; (b) net proceeds of the loans that we obtained in January 2018 and December 2019, respectively, from a group of lenders led by SLR Investment Corp. (formerly named Solar Loan Agreements described below andCapital Ltd.); (c) a small offering$1.0 million sale of common stock. Instock to a private investor in October 2019; (d) an approximately $1.8 million loan (the PPP Loan) we obtained in April 2020 we obtained a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act.Act; which was forgiven in its entirety, including interest, on April 16, 2021; and (e) the $20.0 million in funds we obtained in April 2021 as a result of the Ocumension transaction. Our loans do not include a revolving loan feature and have been fully advanced by the respective lenders. We currently have no additional borrowing capacity, and the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement generally prohibits any additional debt unless we obtain the prior consent of Solar Capital. Currently, we cannot access the equity markets without severe dilution to our current stockholders.SLR.

Under the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement, we borrowed $42.5 million on December 31, 2019 and borrowed the remaining $2.5 million on February 21, 2020 (the2020. The two borrowings under the 2019 Loan Agreement totaled $45.0 million and are referred to as the SLR Loan, given that Solar Loan).Capital Ltd. changed its name to SLR Investment Corp. (SLR) in February 2021. The 2019 SolarSLR Loan matures on July 1, 2024. We used the initial proceeds of the 2019 SolarSLR Loan to pay off the outstanding loan under the 2018 Solar Loan Agreement, along with related prepayment, legal and other fees and expenses of approximately $2,300,000, which included $2,200,000 in fees to SLR, along with related prepayment, legal and other fees and expenses totaling approximately $2.3 million, which included $2.2 million in fees to Solar Capital.SLR.

On May 1, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment (the First Amendment) to the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement. The First Amendment included revised covenants that applied to our financial performance during 2020, all of which we met. The First Amendment, among other things:

Paycheck Protection Program Loan. On April 22, 2020, we received an approximately $1,778,000$1.8 million loan (the PPP Loan) under the Paycheck Protection Program established by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the SBA) as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act. The PPP Loan iswas unsecured and iswas evidenced by a note (the Note) in favor of HSBC Bank USA, National Association (HSBC) as the lender.

The interest rate on the Note is 1.0% per annum. The Note has a two-year term and is payable in 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning on the 180th day following the disbursement of the loan proceeds, subject to possible full forgiveness and a deferred commencement date for beginning payments as described below. The Paycheck Protection Program provides for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed as long as we use the loan proceeds during the 24-week period following disbursement for eligible purposes as described in the CARES Act and related guidance. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is generally available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period. We used all of the proceeds from the PPP Loan to pay expenses during the applicable period that we believe were for eligible purposes. On July 21, 2020, we submitted an application to HSBC for forgiveness of the PPP Loan. As of the date of this filing, the application for forgiveness is still pending review.The PPP Loan was forgiven in its entirety, including interest, on April 16, 2021.

$20.0 million Capital Infusion from Ocumension

On April 14, 2021, we entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Ocumension Therapeutics, pursuant to which we offered and sold to Ocumension 1,144,945 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $8.734044 per share. The number of shares sold was equal to 19.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before the closing. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the shares were $10.0 million. In addition, we received a nonrefundable upfront license payment of $10.0 million pursuant to the Ocumension License Agreement.

Current Cash Position

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $11.3$24.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $9.4an increase of $16.5 million from the $8.3 million in cash and cash equivalents that we reported as of DecemberMarch 31, 2019 and $13.52021. In mid-April 2021, we received gross proceeds of $20.0 million as of June 30, 2020.in cash from the Ocumension transaction described above. In response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adjusted, and we expect to continue to adjust, our commercial spending to continue to operate with our existing cash resources. WeEven after the Ocumension transaction, we may need to raise additional capital to fund our business strategy, including the continued commercialization of ILUVIEN and the retention of our current employees and staff. The actual amount of funds that we may need will depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. See “Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” in this Item 2 above for an explanation of our strategy to conserve our cash and otherwise mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our financial position and operations.

We cannot ensure that our commercial spending controls will be effective or will continue to be effective throughout the currently unknown duration of the pandemic. We cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, the additional financing could be obtained on terms that are not significantly detrimental to us or our stockholders. If we were to raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likelycould result, and the terms of any new equity securities may have a preference over our common stock. If we were to attempt to raise additional funds through strategic collaboration agreements, we may not be successful in obtaining those agreements, or in receiving milestone or royalty payments under them. If we were to attempt to raise additional funds through debt financing, (a) the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to achieve our business strategy; and (b) we would be required to obtain the permission or participation of Solar Capital,SLR, which we might not be able to obtain. Our recurring losses and any potential needs to raise capital create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months following the issuance of the financial statementsInterim Financial Statements for the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Under our Manufacturing Services Agreement dated March 2, 2012 (the Flextronics Agreement) with Flextronics Medical Sales and Marketing, Ltd. (Flextronics), Flextronics agreed to manufacture the component parts of the ILUVIEN applicator (the components) for us at its facility located near Tijuana, Mexico. We purchased certain equipment for Flextronics’ facility that Flextronics used solely to manufacture the components of the ILUVIEN applicator for us. On March 28, 2019, we received notice from Flextronics that it intended to terminate the Flextronics Agreement on September 30, 2020, and the Flextronics Agreement terminated in accordance with the notice on September 30, 2020. Before the Flextronics Agreement expired, Flextronics manufactured a supply of components that we expect to serve as a safety stock until the components can be supplied by the replacement manufacturer in the first quarter of 2021 as described below. Some of the Flextronics manufacturing costs for the components were accelerated into the third quarter of 2020, with no production of the components occurring in the fourth quarter.

On October 30, 2020, we entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement (the Cadence Agreement) with Cadence, Inc. (Cadence) to, under which Cadence will manufacture certain component parts of the componentsILUVIEN applicator (the components) at its facility near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We areUnder the Cadence Agreement, we will pay certain per-unit prices based on regularly scheduled shipments of a minimum number of components. The initial term of the Cadence Agreement expires on October 30, 2025. After the expiration of the initial term, the Cadence Agreement will automatically renew for separate but successive one-year terms unless either party provides written notice to the other party that it does not intend to renew the Cadence Agreement at least 24 months before the end of the term. The Cadence Agreement may be terminated by either party under certain circumstances. To date, we have been in the process of transferring the manufacturing of parts to Cadence and have spent cash resources to purchase new equipment, from Mexico to Pennsylvaniaupdate clean room facilities and obtaining FDA qualification of the new facility. We expect Cadence to begin manufacturing the componentsassist in the second quarterregulatory approval process.

In January 2020, we entered into an agreement with the first of two contract research organizations (CROs) for clinical and data management services to be performed in connection with a multicenter, single masked, randomized and controlled trial designed to generate prospective data evaluating ILUVIEN as a baseline therapy in the treatment of DME and demonstrate its advantages over using the current standard of care of repeat anti-VEGF injections (the NEW DAY Study). The NEW DAY Study is planned to enroll 320 treatment-naïve, or almost naïve, DME patients in approximately 42 sites around the U.S. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, afterwe incurred approximately $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of expense associated with the new facility becomes fully operational. We currentlyNEW DAY Study. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred approximately $25,000 and $460,000, respectively, of expense associated with the NEW DAY Study. As of June 30, 2021, we expect to incur approximately $500,000an additional $13.8 million of capital expendituresexpense associated with the new facilitystudy through December 31, 2020.2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of business related to the guarantee of our own performance and the performance of our subsidiaries.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings, and management is not aware of any contemplated proceedings by any governmental authority against us.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020,5, 2021, we identify under Item 1A of Part I important factors that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future operations and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations, including those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as described below, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes in our risk factors after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.2020. However, the risks described in our Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we currently deem to be immaterial or not currently known to us, as well as other risks reported from time to time in our reports to the SEC, also could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations.

You should read the following information in conjunction with the Interim Financial Statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, Financial Information and the discussion and analysis of our financial condition in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business, and suchthose impacts may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken by governments, health authorities, businesses, and the public at large to limit the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread have had, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative effects on, and present certain risks to, our business including the following:

business. We have experienced a decreasedecreases in sales of ILUVIEN in the U.S. (which has rebounded to a degree) and in our international markets that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting from, among other things:

Governments and private parties have imposed limitations on in-person access to physicians, which can (and in certain instances already have):

affect patient access to treatment, given that ILUVIEN is administered only by an injection into the eye, which means telemedicine is not a viable substitute; and

make it difficult or impossible for our sales representatives (including those employed by our distributors) to meet with retina specialists and their staff to educate them about the benefits of ILUVIEN and to provide support for insurance pre-certifications.

Our business is also negatively affected by patient behavior in the current environment. Most of our ILUVIEN sales are driven by the use of ILUVIEN to treat diabetic macular edema, or DME. Given that governmental authorities have cited diabetes as a factor that places a person at higher risk for severe illness from the COVID-19 pandemic, many of those patients are or may be unwilling to visit their physicians in person (even if otherwise permitted) for fear of contracting the COVID-19 coronavirus. In addition, the adverse effect of DME on a patient’s vision can progress slowly over time, and patients may defer seeking treatment until their loss of vision is acute, which we believe may negatively affect user demand for ILUVIEN.

 

4047


These limitations had an adverse impact on our revenues beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing through the third quarterdate of 2020.this report. We expect these factors to continue to adversely impact our revenue, and the extent and duration of that impact is uncertain at this time. If the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies (as is currently the case in mostmuch of the U.S. and Europe),in parts of Europe, including Germany, one of our largest markets) or its duration is longer than we expect, or if another pandemic wave follows,persists, its negative effect on our sales and thus our liquidity and financial condition could be more prolonged and may be severe. Financial uncertainty associated with the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the duration of those effects, could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of our quarterly financial results, including impairment of intangible assets, the income tax provision and realizability of certain receivables.

Other effects or possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on us include:

Limitations on travel within and between the countries in which we market and sell ILUVIEN as well as various types of “shelter in place” orders, have curtailed our in-person marketing activities, which have in turn contributed to lower sales of ILUVIEN.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including related governmental guidance or directives, we required almost all office-based employees, including almost all employees based at our headquarters in Georgia, to work remotely for some or all of the second quarter.quarter of 2020. While most of our personnel in our headquarters have returned to work in the office, we may in the future experience reductions in productivity and disruptions to our business routines if remote work requirements are reinstated in Georgia. Governmental directives continue to affect the ability of non-U.S. office-based personnel to return to full-time work in the office.

We may fail to maintain or modify as necessary our internal controls over financial reporting in an environment in which (a) many of our employees are working remotely and (b) we or our distributors have been and may be required to modify our standard business processes to take into account the current environment in light of the pandemic. If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, our operating results and our ability to operate our business could be harmed.

We may fail to plan appropriately to meet the demand of our customers for ILUVIEN, which could lead either to (a) ILUVIEN being out of stock or (b) our investment of a greater amount of cash in inventory than we need. Either event could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

As the result of lower sales of ILUVIEN, we may fail to comply with financial covenants in our $45.0 million 2019 Solar Loan Agreement, as amended, that are based on (a) minimum trailing six months’ revenues as of November 30, 2020 and the end of each calendar quarter thereafter and (b) a minimum liquidity requirement that took effect on May 1, 2020.revenues. If an event of default under the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement occurs, Solar CapitalSLR may accelerate all of our repayment obligations and take control of our pledged assets, potentially requiring us to raise additional financing, renegotiate the 2019 Solar Loan Agreement on terms less favorable to us or immediately cease operations. Any declaration by Solar CapitalSLR of an event of default could significantly harm our business and prospects and could cause the price of our common stock to decline significantly after we publicly disclose that event in an SEC filing. Further, if we were liquidated, Solar Capital’sSLR’s right to repayment would be senior to the rights of our stockholders.

We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our PPP Loan.

On April 22, 2020, we received an approximately $1,778,000 loan (the PPP Loan) under the Paycheck Protection Program established by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the SBA). The PPP Loan is unsecured and is evidenced by a note (the Note) in favor of HSBC Bank USA, National Association (HSBC) as the lender. The Note has a two-year term. The Paycheck Protection Program provides for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed as long as we use the loan proceeds during the 24-week period following disbursement for eligible purposes as described in the CARES Act and related guidance. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is generally available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period. We used all of the proceeds from the PPP Loan to pay expenses during the applicable period that we believe were for eligible purposes. On July 21, 2020, we submitted an application to HSBC for forgiveness of the PPP Loan. As of the date of this filing, the application for forgiveness is still pending review.

Under the revised rules for the PPP Loan program, we will not have to begin principal and interest payments before the date on which the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to HSBC (or notifies HSBC that no loan forgiveness is allowed). If no loan forgiveness is allowed, the Company will be required to pay HSBC equal monthly payments of principal and interest based on the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan, plus interest outstanding at the end of the deferment period, and taking into account any reductions in the principal amount due to forgiveness, if any. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be eligible for loan forgiveness or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.

We may fail to effect the transition of the manufacturing of essential component parts of our ILUVIEN applicator by our new contract manufacturer before we exhaust our current inventory of those parts.

Under the Flextronics Agreement dated March 2, 2012, Flextronics agreed to manufacture the component parts of the ILUVIEN applicator (the components) for us. As we reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 28, 2019, we received notice from Flextronics on that date that it intended to terminate the Flextronics Agreement on September 30, 2020. The Flextronics Agreement terminated in accordance with the notice on September 30, 2020. Before the Flextronics Agreement expired, Flextronics manufactured a supply of components that we expect to servehas served and is serving as a safety stock until the components can be supplied by Cadence, Inc., the replacement manufacturer.

On October 30, 2020, we entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement with Cadence, Inc., to manufacture the components. We expectcomponents used in the ILUVIEN applicator. Cadence is in the final stages of process qualification and began manufacturing production components during the second quarter of 2021. In March 2021, we received the necessary approvals from European Regulatory Agencies for Cadence to begin manufacturingmanufacture components to be used in ILUVIEN sold in Europe. We filed a Prior Approval Supplement (PAS) with the components earlyFDA during the third quarter of 2021. We believe we have sufficient safety stock produced by Flextronics to meet the anticipated demand of our distributors and end users in the U.S. until FDA approval is obtained and throughout 2021 and the first quarter of 2021. Unless and until2022. Until the transition to Cadence is complete, however, there can be no assurances that Cadence will manufacture the components in a timely and otherwise acceptable manner. Significant disruption in this transition, or unanticipated costs related to the transition, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, if we are unable to transition manufacturing to Cadence in a timely fashion or without disruption to our operations, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and cash flows, and results of operations.

In connection with the relocation of our manufacturing line, we are required to obtain regulatory approval from appropriate regulatory agencies. Delay in approval beyond our expectations may affect our ability to fill orders.
