NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting PoliciesDescription of Business

OrganizationDescription of Business

We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting inflammation, complement-mediated diseases, disorders of the central nervous system, addiction and immune-related diseases, including cancers. Our first drug product, OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1%/0.3%, is marketed in the United States (U.S.(“U.S.”) for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement. In December 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) confirmed that OMIDRIA qualifies for separate payment when used on Medicare Part B patients in ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”), effective retroactively as of October 1, 2020. OMIDRIA’s pass through status, which had allowed for separate payment when used on Medicare Part B patients in the ASC or hospital setting, had expired on October 1, 2020.

Our drug candidate narsoplimab is the subject of a biologics license application (“BLA”) under priority review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“HSCT-TMA”). We also have multiple late-stage clinical development programs in our pipeline, which are focused on: complement-mediated disorders, including immunoglobulin A (“IgA”) nephropathy, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (“aHUS”) and COVID-19.

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros Corporation (Omeros)(“Omeros”) and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-companyintercompany transactions have been eliminated, and we have determined we operate in 1 segment. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)(“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The information as of March 31, 202031,2021 and December 31, 20192020 and for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020 includes all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our interim financial information. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 20192020 has been derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited annual financial information.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)(“SEC”) on March 2, 2020.1, 2021.

Risks and Uncertainties Related to COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China and has since spread around the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreakpandemic and the response ofresponses to it by various governmental authorities, to try to limit it are havingthe medical community and others have had a significant impact on our business. On March 18, 2020, The American AcademyIt is not possible to estimate precisely the future impact of Ophthalmology issued a letter recommending that all ophthalmologists immediately cease providing any treatment other than urgent or emergent care. Upon this recommendation the ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospitals using OMIDRIA postponed nearly all cataract surgery. Consequently, our sales of OMIDRIA to our wholesalers have been minimal following the announcement. In early May, a large number of states began re-opening ASCs and hospitals to cataract surgery, and we have had facilities in at least 36 states initiate re-ordering of OMIDRIA from our wholesalers. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our business, operations andor financial results including through sustained limitations on cataract surgery and corresponding reduction in demand for OMIDRIA, disruptions in commercial sales activities, higher than normal volume of OMIDRIA product returns, delays or disruptions with respect to manufacturing of clinical or commercial supply, delays in our clinical trials or in the submission or review of regulatory applications, as well as a deterioration of general economic conditions. Duedue to the unknown magnitude, duration and outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible to estimate precisely its impact onpandemic.

We have filed with FDA our business, operationsnarsoplimab BLA for HSCT-TMA, which has been granted priority review with an FDA action date of July 17, 2021 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that narsoplimab will receive FDA approval and will launch in the U.S. in 2021. If approved, we cannot fully predict the timing or financial results; however, the impact couldmagnitude of narsoplimab revenues, but we believe they will be material.

We will continueHSCT-TMA include various milestones at which we commit to incur losses from operations as revenues exceed operating costs and debt service obligations.

OMIDRIA pass-through reimbursement is scheduled to end on September 30, 2020 and our first quarter 2020 sales of OMIDRIA were negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, we cannot predict future OMIDRIA revenues due to the uncertain impact of these circumstances on sales of OMIDRIA in 2020 and beyond. Similarly, we are unable to includeincremental spending, providing for flexibility in the determination regarding our prospects as a going concern amounts available under our accounts receivable-based linetiming of credit or any proceeds from debt transactions or other financing instruments despite our successful track record in accessing capital through these avenues. We also have not included any potential partnerships related to our products or product candidates. Regardlesscosts incurred should the approval of whether we secure continued passthrough payment for OMIDRIA, our working capital needs will likely continue to increase, particularly if the disruption to our operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The conditions described above, when evaluated within the constraints of the accounting literature, raise substantial doubt with respect to our ability to meet our obligations through May 11, 2021 and, therefore, to continue as a going concern.narsoplimab be delayed.

We plan to continue to fund our operations through proceedsfor the next twelve months with our cash and investments from sales of OMIDRIA and, inif FDA approval is granted, from sales of narsoplimab for HSCT-TMA. In addition, we may utilize funds available under our accounts receivable-based line of credit, which allows us to borrow up to 85% of our available accounts receivable borrowing base, less certain reserves, or $50$50.0 million, whichever is less. We also entered into a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, up to an aggregate offering amount of $150.0 million through an “at the market” equity offering program. Should it be necessary or determined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue debt financings as well as public and private offerings of our equity securities, similar to those we have previously completed, previously, and/or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing a portion of our existing technology. If these capital sources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative effect on our financial condition. Should it be necessary to manage our operating expenses, we would reduce our projected cash requirements through reduction of our expenses by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts, and/or implementing other restructuring activities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense and accruals for clinical trials as well as manufacturing of drug product and clinical drug supply and other contingencies.product. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

When we enter into a customer contract, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

We generally record revenue from product sales when the product is delivered to our wholesalers. Product sales are recorded net of wholesaler distribution fees and estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns and purchase-volume discounts. Accruals or allowances are established for these deductions in the same period when revenue is recognized, and actual amounts incurred are offset against the applicable accruals or allowances. We reflect each of these accruals or

-9-

Table of Contents

allowances as either a reduction in the related accounts receivable or as an accrued liability depending on how the amount is expected to be settled.

Right-of-UseInventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined on a specific identification basis in a manner that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Costs include amounts related to third-party manufacturing, transportation and internal labor and overhead. Capitalization of costs as inventory begins when regulatory approval of the product candidate is reasonably assured in the U.S. or the European Union (“EU”). We expense inventory costs related to product candidates as research and development expenses prior to receiving regulatory approval in the respective territory. Inventory is reduced to net realizable value for excess and obsolete inventories based on forecasted demand.

Right of Use Assets and Related Lease Liabilities

We record operating leases as right-of-use assets and recognize the related lease liabilities equal to the fair value of the lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate in the lease agreement is not readily available. We recognize variable lease payments when incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are

-9-

Table of Contents

recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. We record finance leases as a component of property and equipment and amortize these assets within operating expenses on a straight-line basis to their residual values over the shorter of the term of the underlying lease or the estimated useful life of the equipment. The interest component of a finance lease is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term. We account for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less as operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Advance Payments

Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed, or when the goods or services are no longer expected to be provided.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments based on estimated fair values as of the date of grant. The fair value of our stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires judgmental assumptions includingaround volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. We useterm. Compensation expense is recognized over the straight-line method to allocate stock-based compensation cost to reporting periods over each optionee’soptionees’ requisite service period,periods, which is generally the vesting period.period, using the straight-line method. Forfeiture expense is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In June 2016,On January 1, 2021, we adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) on a modified retrospective basis. ASU 2020-06 removes the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, (Topic 326) which changes how entitiesseparate liability and equity accounting for our convertible senior notes. Consequently, we now account for credit losses on most financial assetsour convertible senior notes wholly as debt. (See “Note 3 – Net Loss Per Share” and certain“Note 7 – Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes” for further information)

On January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which is intended to simplify various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including elimination of the exception to the incremental approach of intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or gain from other instruments and expands disclosures. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.items (for example, other comprehensive income). We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020a prospective basis and the adoption did not have a material impact onto our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 2—Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The basic and diluted net loss per share amounts for the three months ended March 31, 202031,2021 was immaterial.

Note 4—5—Fair-Value Measurements

As of March 31, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, all investments were classified as short-term and available-for-sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investment income, which was included as a component of other income, consists of interest earned.

On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:

Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

Our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

We haveOn January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06on amodified retrospective basis. ASU 2020-06 removes the separate liability and equity accounting for our outstanding convertible senior notes. Consequently, we now account for our convertible senior notes wholly as debt. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $75.5 million to restore our unsecured convertible notes and additional paid-in capital to the balances without an equity allocation component. The carrying value of the notes are reflective of their face value less unamortized debt issuance costs. Interest expense recognized in future periods will be reduced as a result of accounting for the unsecured convertible notes wholly as a liability measured at amortized cost.

2023 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes

On November 15, 2018, we issued $210.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes)“2023 Notes”). The Convertible2023 Notes are unsecured and accrue interest at an annual rate of 6.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Convertible2023 Notes mature on November 15, 2023 unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. On August 14, 2020, we issued the 5.25% convertible senior notes (the “2026 Notes”) and used approximately $125.6 million of the net proceeds to repurchase $115.0 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes (see “2026 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes” below).

The Convertible2023 Notes will beare convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, as we elect at our sole discretion. The initial conversion rate is 52.0183 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of note principal (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.22 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. To reduce the dilutive impact or potential cash expenditure associated with the conversion of the Convertible2023 Notes, we entered into a capped call transaction (the “2023 Capped Call”), which essentially covers the number of shares of our common stock underlying the Convertible2023 Notes when our common stock is trading between the initial conversion price of $19.22 per share and $28.84 per share. In connection with the partial repurchase of the 2023 Notes, we entered into a capped call termination contract to unwind a proportionate amount of the 2023 Capped Call. As of March 31, 2020, all Convertible Notes remain outstanding.2021, approximately 4.9 million shares remained outstanding on the 2023 Capped Call.

2026 Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes

The 2026 Notes are unsecured and accrue interest at an annual rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2026 Notes mature on February 15, 2026, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms.

The initial conversion rate is 54.0906 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of note principal (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $18.4875 per share of common stock), which equals approximately 12.2 million shares issuable upon conversion, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The 2026 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders on or after November 15, 2025 at any time prior to the close of business on February 12, 2026. Additionally, holders may convert their 2026 Notes at their option at specified times prior to the maturity date only if:

(1)during any calendar quarter, beginning after September 30, 2020, that the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the 2026 Notes for each of at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
(2)during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five-consecutive-trading-day period (such five-consecutive-trading-day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;
(3)there is an occurrence of one or more certain corporate events or distributions of our common stock; or
(4)we call the 2026 Notes for redemption.

At our sole discretion, we may elect to convert the 2026 Notes into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof at maturity. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, beginning August 15, 2023, we may redeem in whole or in part the 2026 Notes at our option at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

In order to reduce the dilutive impact or potential cash expenditure associated with the conversion of the 2026 Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (the “2026 Capped Calls”). The 2026 Capped Calls will cover the number of shares of common stock underlying the 2026 Notes when our common stock is trading within the range of approximately $18.49 and $26.10. However, should the market price of our common stock exceed the $26.10 cap, then the conversion of the 2026 Notes would have a dilutive impact or may require a cash expenditure to the extent the market price exceeds the cap price.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting inflammation, complement-mediated diseases, disorders of the central nervous system, and immune-related diseases, including cancers.

Our drug product OMIDRIA® is marketed in the United States for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement for adult and pediatric patients. Our drug candidate narsoplimab is the subject of a biologics license application (“BLA”) under priority review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“HSCT-TMA”). We also have multiple Phase 3 and Phase 2 clinical-stagelate-stage clinical development programs in our pipeline, which are focused on:on complement-mediated disorders, including hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“HSCT-TMA”), Immunoglobulinimmunoglobulin A (“IgA”) nephropathy, and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (“aHUS”), as well as and COVID-19. We have also initiated a Phase 1 clinical program for our MASP-3 inhibitor OMS906 targeting the alternative pathway of complement and have successfully completed a Phase 1 study in our phosphodiesterase 7 (“PDE7”) program focused on addiction. In addition, we have a diverse group of preclinical programs including GPR174, a novel target in immuno-oncology that modulates a new cancer immunity axis that we recently discovered. Small-molecule and antibody inhibitors of GPR174 are part of our proprietary G protein-coupled receptor (“GPCR”) platform through which we control 54 new GPCR drug targets and their corresponding compounds. We also exclusively possesshave a novelproprietary-asset-enabled antibody-generating platform.technology. We have retained control of all commercial rights for OMIDRIA and each of our product candidates and programs.

Impact of Global Pandemic

The COVID-19 outbreakpandemic and the response ofresponses to it by various governmental authorities, the medical community and others continue to try to limit its spread are havinghave a significant impact on our business. OnIn March 18, 2020, The American Academy of Ophthalmology issued a letter recommending that all ophthalmologists immediately cease providing any treatment other than urgent or emergent care. Upon this recommendation the ASCsambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”) and hospitals using OMIDRIA postponed nearly all cataract surgery. Consequently, oursurgery in response to recommendations from government and medical organizations. As a result, we did not record any sales of OMIDRIA to our wholesalers have been minimal followingfrom March 25 to May 19, 2020. However, by the announcement, including throughout April. In early May, a large numberend of states began re-opening ASCs and hospitalsJune 2020, the run rate of weekly OMIDRIA sales had recovered to cataract surgery, and we have had facilities in at least 36 states initiate re-orderinglevels approximating those seen prior to the pandemic. It is not possible to estimate precisely the future impact of OMIDRIA from our wholesalers. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our business, operations andor financial results including through sustained limitation on cataract surgery and corresponding reduction in demand for OMIDRIA, disruptions in commercial sales activities, higher than normal volume of OMIDRIA product returns, delays or disruptions with respect to manufacturing of clinical or commercial supply, delays in our clinical trials or in the submission or review of regulatory applications, as well as deterioration of general economic conditions. Duedue to the unknown magnitude, duration and outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is notespecially in light of the severity and transmissibility of virus variants and possible to estimate precisely its impact on our business, operations or financial results; however,local governmental responses across the impact could be material.U.S.

Commercial Product - OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1%/0.3%

OMIDRIA is approved by the FDA for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement to maintain pupil size by preventing intraoperative miosis (pupil constriction) and to reduce postoperative ocular pain. Outside the U.S., we have received approval from the European Commission (“EC”) to market OMIDRIA in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) for use during cataract surgery and other IOL replacement procedures for maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation), prevention of intraoperative miosis and reduction of acute postoperative ocular pain.

OMIDRIA is a proprietary drug product containing two active pharmaceutical ingredients: ketorolac, an anti-inflammatory agent, and phenylephrine, a mydriatic, or pupil dilating, agent. Cataract and other lens replacement surgery involves replacement of the original lens of the eye with an artificial intraocular lens. OMIDRIA is added to standard irrigation solution used during cataract and lens replacement surgery and is delivered intracamerally, or within the

anterior chamber of the eye, to the site of the surgical trauma throughout the procedure. Preventing pupil constriction is essential for these procedures and, if miosis occurs, the risk of damaging structures within the eye and other complications increases, as does the operating time required to perform the procedure.

-19-

Table of Contents

We launched OMIDRIA in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2015 and sell OMIDRIA primarily through wholesalers which, in turn, sell to ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”)ASCs and hospitals. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), the federal agency responsible for administering the Medicare program, granted transitional pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA in 2014, effective from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. Pass-through status allows for separate payment (i.e., outside the packaged payment rate for the surgical procedure) under Medicare Part B. In March 2018, Congress extended pass-through reimbursement status for a small number of drugs, including OMIDRIA through September 30, 2020 when used during procedures performed on Medicare Part B fee-for-service patients for an additional two years, running from October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2020.

We continue to pursue permanent separatepatients. Pass-through reimbursement for OMIDRIA beyond the currently scheduled expiration of pass-through reimbursement. CMS is required under the Substance Use–Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities Act to review payments underMedicare Part B expired on October 1, 2020. In December 2020, in its CMS’ outpatient prospective payment systemannual rule on Outpatient Prospective Payments System (“OPPS”) and ASC payments, CMS confirmed that OMIDRIA qualifies for opioids and evidence-basedseparate payment when used on Medicare Part B patients in ASCs under CMS’ policy for non-opioid alternatives for pain management with a goal to ensuresurgical drugs. We believe that there areCMS will not financial incentives to use opioids instead of non-opioid alternatives. Inchange its 2020 OPPS proposed rule, CMS noted that non-opioid drugs that are indicated for reduction of post-operative pain may warrant separate payment if there is evidence to show packaged payment presents a demonstrated barrier to accesspolicy for suchnon-opioid pain management surgical drugs, and that such drugs help to deter or avoid prescription opioid use and addiction. Although Omeros provided CMS with evidence that it believes shows that OMIDRIA meets these criteria, CMS declinedwhich has been in its 2020 OPPS final rule to confirm separate payment to OMIDRIA beyond the expiration of its current pass-through status on September 30, 2020. CMS also noted in the 2020 OPPS final rule that it will continue to analyze evidence and monitor utilization of OMIDRIA. We continue to generate evidence and intend to continue pursuing administrative and legislative avenues to secure permanent separate payment or similar reimbursement for OMIDRIA beyond September 30, 2020; however, we cannot provide assurance that these efforts will be successful. For more information regarding OMIDRIA reimbursement, see “Financial Summary” below.

In July 2018, we placed OMIDRIA on the market in the European Union (“EU”), on a limited basis, which maintained the ongoing validity of the European marketing authorization for OMIDRIA. At this time, we do not expect to see significant sales of OMIDRIA in any countries within the EEA or other international territories.effect since 2019.

Clinical Development Programs

Our clinical stage development programs include:

MASP-2 - narsoplimab (OMS721) - Lectin Pathway Disorders. Narsoplimab, also referred to as OMS721, is our lead fully human monoclonal antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2)(“MASP-2”), a novel pro-inflammatory protein target involved in activation of the complement system.lectin pathway of complement. The complement systemlectin pathway plays aan important role in the body’s inflammatory response and becomes activated as a result of tissue damage or trauma or microbial pathogen invasion. Inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the complement systemlectin pathway can cause serious diseases characterized by serious tissue injury.and disorders. MASP-2 is the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway, of the complement system, and the current development focus for narsoplimab is diseases in whichthat are strongly associated with activation of the lectin pathway has been shown to contribute to significant tissue injury and pathology. When not treated, these diseases are typically characterized by significant end organ injuries, such as kidney or central nervous system injury.pathway.

We have completedFDA is currently reviewing our pivotal clinical trialBLA for narsoplimab in HSCT-TMA, and Phase 3 clinical programs are in process for narsoplimab in IgA nephropathy and aHUS.

-18-

Table Narsoplimab is also being evaluated for treatment of ContentsCOVID-19 in a late-stage adaptive platform trial and has been administered under compassionate use to treat COVID-19 patients in Italy and in the U.S.

Narsoplimab has received multiple designations from the FDA and from the EMA across the three current indications. These include:

HSCT-TMA: In the U.S., the FDA has granted narsoplimab (1) breakthrough therapy designation in patients who have persistent TMA despite modification of immunosuppressive therapy (2) orphan drug designation for the prevention (inhibition) of complement-mediated TMAs, and (3)(2) orphan drug designation for the treatment of HSCT-TMA. The EC also granted narsoplimab a designation as an orphan medicinal product for treatment in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
IgA nephropathy: In the U.S., narsoplimab has received from the FDA (1) breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of IgA nephropathy and (2) orphan drug designation in IgA nephropathy. In Europe, narsoplimab has received from the ECbeen granted designation as an orphan medicinal product for the treatment of primary IgA nephropathy.
aHUS: In the U.S., narsoplimab has received from the FDA (1) fast-track designation for the treatment of patients with aHUS and (2) orphan drug designation for the prevention (inhibition) of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathies.

In October 2019, we initiated the rolling submission to FDA of our BLA for narsoplimab for the treatment of HSCT-TMA, a frequently lethal complication of HSCT. A rolling submission enables us to submit sections of the BLA as they are completed, which can accelerate the time to approval by allowing FDA to review completed sections of the application as they are submitted rather than waiting for the entire BLA to be submitted before beginning its review. The initial submission to FDA included all of the nonclinical (i.e., pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicology) data, study reports, overview and summaries for the nonclinical sections of the BLA. We have also successfully completed the manufacturing of the required process validation lots of narsoplimab and submitted the second part of the BLA containing information related to the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) for narsoplimab. The clinical sections and additional CMC information for the BLA are being prepared for submission and, once all CMC and clinical data collection and analyses are complete and compiled, these remaining parts of the BLA will be submitted.

On March 2, 2020, we reported final clinical data from our pivotal trial of narsoplimab in HSCT-TMA.HSCT-TMA, a frequently lethal complication of HSCT. The single-arm, open-label trial included safety and efficacy endpoints that were previously agreed to with FDA. These endpoints were assessed for (1) all 28 patients who received at least one dose of narsoplimab and (2) patients who received the protocol-specified dosing of at least four weeks of narsoplimab.

The primary efficacy endpoint in the trial was the proportion of patients who achieved designated “responder” status based on improvement in HSCT-TMA laboratory markers and clinical status. This is referred to as the “complete

“complete response rate.” The primary laboratory markers that were evaluated were platelet count and lactate dehydrogenase (“LDH”), levels, while improvement in clinical status was evaluated based on organ function and transfusions. Patients who did not fully meet these criteriaEach patient was required to show improvement in both laboratory markers and clinical status to be considered a responder. All others were considered “non-responders.”non-responders.

The FDA-agreed efficacy threshold for the primary endpoint is a complete response rate of 15%. Among patients who received at least one dose of narsoplimab, the complete response rate was 54% (p61% (95% confidence interval [CI] 40.6 to 78.5; p<0.0001), while the complete response rate among patients who received the protocol-specified narsoplimab treatment of at least four weeks of dosing was 65% (p74% (95% CI 51.6 to 89.8; p<0.0001). The response rates and their respective lower levels of the 95% confidence intervals are a multiple of the pre-specified efficacy threshold of 15%.

Secondary endpoints in the trial were survival rates and change from baseline in HSCT-TMA laboratory markers. Among the responder population, 93% ofall treated patients, 68% survived for at least 100 days following HSCT-TMA diagnosis, while 83% of patients who received treatment for at least four weeks and 68%94% of the total treated populationresponders achieved this endpoint. Median overall survival was 274 days among all patients and 361 days among patients who received the protocol-specified treatment of at least four weeks. Median survival could not be estimated for responders because more than half of the responders were alive at last follow-up. Results also included statistically significant improvements in platelet count, LDH and haptoglobin. The treated population had multiple high-risk features that portend a poor outcome, including the persistence of HSCT-TMA despite modification of immunosuppression (which was a criterion for entry into the trial), graft-versus-host disease, significant infections, non-infectious pulmonary complications and neurological findings. Patients in the trial had a high expected mortality rate, with 93% of

them having multiple risk factors. The most common adverse events observed in the trial were nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypokalemia, neutropenia and fever, which are all common in stem-cell transplant patients. Six deaths occurred during the trial. These were due to sepsis, progression of the underlying disease, and graft-versus-host disease.disease with TMA. All of these are common causes of death in this patient population.

In November 2020, we completed the rolling submission to FDA of our BLA for narsoplimab for the treatment of HSCT-TMA. The BLA was accepted for filing by FDA and granted priority review, and we have responded to all information requests received to date. The FDA action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) is July 17, 2021.

In Europe, the EMA has confirmed narsoplimab’s eligibility for EMA’s centralized review of a single MAAmarketing authorization application (“MAA”) that, if approved, authorizes the product to be marketed in all EU member states and EEA countries. We planare targeting to complete theour MAA submission of an MAA after our BLA submission has been filed with FDA. In October 2019 we received a positive opinion from EMA on our pediatric investigation plan (“PIP”) for narsoplimab in the treatment of HSCT-TMA. A PIP outlining a development program for the investigational product in the pediatric population must be agreed with EMA as a prerequisite to EMA’s acceptance of an MAA. The narsoplimab PIP provides a study plan to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drug for HSCT-TMA in patients from one month through 17 years of age. We received a deferral for completion of our PIP until after approval of the narsoplimab MAA.2021.

In our IgA nephropathy program, patient enrollment continues in the narsoplimab Phase 3 clinical trial, ARTEMIS-IGAN. The single Phase 3 trial design is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial in patients at least 18 years of age with biopsy-confirmed IgA nephropathy and with 24-hour urine protein excretion greater than one gram per day at baseline on optimized renin-angiotensin system blockade. This trial includes a run-in period. Initially, patients are expected to receive an IV dose of study drug each week for 12 weeks; additional weekly dosing can be administered to achieve optimal response. The primary endpoint, which we believe could suffice for full or accelerated approval depending on the effect size, is reduction in proteinuria at 36 weeks after the start of dosing. The trial is designed to allow intra-trial adjustment in sample size. For the purposes of safety and efficacy assessments, the initial sample size for the proteinuria endpoint is estimated at 140 patients in each of the treatment and placebo groups. This will include a subset of patients (78 per arm) with high levels of proteinuria (i.e., equal to or greater than 2 g/day) at baseline, and a substantial improvement at 36 weeks in this subset of patients alone could potentially form the basis for approval. We believe that the trial design will allow assessment for either full or accelerated approval at 36 weeks based on proteinuria results either (1) across the general population of study patients or (2) in the high-proteinuria subset of patients.

The Phase 3 clinical program in patients with aHUS, in which patient enrollment is ongoing, consists of one Phase 3 clinical trial – a single-arm (i.e., no control arm), open-label trial in patients with newly diagnosed or ongoing aHUS. This trial is targeting approximately 40 patients for full approval in Europe and accelerated approval in the U.S. with approximately 80 total patients required by FDA for full approval in the U.S. The trial

includes multiple sites in the U.S., Asia and Europe, though enrollment has been slow in part due to prioritizing the use of resources within our narsoplimab programs on HSCT-TMA, COVID-19 and IgA nephropathy.

PDE7MASP-2 - OMS527narsoplimab (OMS721) - COVID-19. In our phosphodiesterase 7 (PDE7)March 2020, in response to a request from physicians at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo, Italy, we initiated a compassionate use program we are developing proprietary compoundsfor narsoplimab to treat addiction and compulsive disorders as well as movement disorders. In September 2019 we reported positive results from our Phase 1 single-ascending- and multiple-ascending-dose clinical trial designed to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of our lead compound in healthy subjects.patients with severe COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation.

The initial cohort treated under this compassionate use program included a total of six COVID-19 patients treated with narsoplimab, all with acute respiratory distress syndrome (“ARDS”) and requiring continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) or intubation. At baseline, circulating endothelial cell (“CEC”) counts and serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, C-reactive protein (CRP), LDH, D-dimer and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were markedly elevated. During the course of the compassionate use program, institutional guidelines at the treating hospital were updated to require that all COVID-19 patients in the hospital receive steroids. One patient treated with narsoplimab did not receive steroids. Of the five narsoplimab-treated patients who received steroids, two initiated them after already improving such that CPAP was no longer required or was discontinued the following day. The study evaluated CEC counts in a separate group of four patients receiving only steroids for a short duration, and the counts were found to be unaffected by steroid administration. This suggests that any beneficial effect of steroids on COVID-19-associated endothelial damage may be delayed and had little effect on the recovery course of the narsoplimab-treated patients who initiated steroid treatment after improving.

Narsoplimab treatment was associated with rapid and sustained reduction across all of the above-named markers of endothelial damage and inflammation. In addition, massive bilateral pulmonary thromboses, seen in two of the double blind, randomized Phase 1 study, the studypatients, resolved while on narsoplimab. All six narsoplimab-treated patients recovered, survived and were discharged. Narsoplimab was well tolerated and no adverse drug referred to as OMS182399, met the primary endpoints of safety and tolerabilityreactions were reported. Two control groups with similar baseline characteristics were used for retrospective comparison and showed a favorablesubstantial mortality rates of 32% and dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile supporting once-daily dosing. There53%. A manuscript detailing the results of the initial cohort of Bergamo patients treated with narsoplimab was no apparent food effect on plasma exposurepublished in the peer-reviewed journal Immunobiology.

All six patients were evaluated five to OMS182399. Our focus is nicotine addiction,six months after cessation of narsoplimab treatment. None of them showed any clinical or laboratory evidence of long-term effects of COVID-19, such as cognitive impairment or cardiac, pulmonary or other organ disorder, commonly seen following resolution of initial COVID-19 symptoms.

Endothelial damage and resultant thromboses are significant to the pathophysiology of COVID-19, and we believe these data illustrate the importance of inhibiting the lectin pathway to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients. Endothelial damage activates the lectin pathway of complement. We believe the results observed following narsoplimab treatment in critically ill COVID-19 patients at Papa Giovanni were consistent with those seen in HSCT-TMA and underscore the pathophysiologic similarities between these two disorders. Narsoplimab has been shown to inhibit lectin pathway activation and to block the MASP-2-mediated conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, microvascular injury-associated thrombus formation and the activation of factor XII as well as the MASP-2-mediated activation of kallikrein. We believe that the anticoagulant effects of narsoplimab may provide therapeutic benefits in both HSCT-TMA and COVID-19.

Following treatment of the initial six patients under the compassionate use program in Italy, we continued compassionate-use treatment in the U.S. and Italy. Prior to receiving narsoplimab, all of the patients in this second cohort were severely ill, mechanically ventilated, had multiple comorbidities, and had failed other therapies, including anti-virals, targeted anti-inflammatory therapeutics, convalescent plasma and steroids. Following treatment with narsoplimab, the laboratory improvements and clinical outcomes of these patients are planning our Phase 2 development program.similar to those seen in the initial cohort of Bergamo patients.

MASP-3 - OMS906 - Alternative Pathway Disorders. As part of our MASP program, we have identified mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (“MASP-3”), which has been shown to be the key activator of the complement system’s alternative pathway (“APC”), and we believe that we are the first to make this and related discoveries associated with the APC. The complement system is part of the immune system’s innate response, and the APC is considered the amplification loop within the complement system. MASP-3 is

-20-

Table of Contents

responsible for the conversion of pro-factor D to factor D; converted factor D is necessary for the activation of the APC. Based on our alternative pathway-related discoveries, we have expanded our intellectual property position to protect our inventions stemming from these discoveries beyond MASP-2-associated inhibition of the lectin pathway to include inhibition of the alternative pathway. Our current primary focus in this program is developing MASP-3 inhibitors for the treatment of disorders related to the APC. We believe that MASP-3 inhibitors have the potential to treat patients suffering from a wide range of diseases and conditions, including: paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (“PNH”); C3 glomerulopathy; multiple sclerosis; arthritis; traumatic brain injury; neuromyelitis optica; pauci-immune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis; disseminated intravascular coagulation; age-related macular degeneration; asthma; dense deposit disease; Bechet’s disease; aspiration pneumonia; TMA; ischemia-reperfusion injury; Guillain Barre syndrome; Alzheimer’s disease; amylotrophic lateral sclerosis; systemic lupus erythematosus; diabetic retinopathy; uveitis; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; transplant rejection; acute respiratory distress syndrome; antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis; anti-phospholipid syndrome; atherosclerosis; myasthenia gravis and others. Our OMS906 monoclonal antibody program has generated positive data in a well-established animal model associated withmodels of PNH and rheumatoid arthritis as well as strong pharmacodynamic activity in non-human primates. The

In September 2020 we began enrollment and dosing in a placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-ascending-dose and multiple-ascending-dose Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of OMS906. We have completed dosing all of the intravenous dosing cohorts and the first subcutaneous dosing cohort in the single-ascending dose study. Initial data from the Phase 1 trial are expected in the second quarter of 2021.

In the double blind, randomized Phase 1 study, the study drug, referred to as OMS182399, met the primary endpoints of safety and tolerability and showed a favorable and dose-proportional pharmacokinetic profile supporting once-daily dosing. There was no apparent food effect on plasma exposure to OMS182399. Continued clinical development in our PDE7 program is subject to allocation of financial and other resources, which are currently prioritized for other programs. A manuscript detailing the mechanism of action of PDE7 inhibition in nicotine addiction has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Journal of Neuroscience.

Preclinical Development Programs and Platforms

Our preclinical programs and platforms include:

Other MASP Inhibitor Preclinical Programs. We have generated positive preclinical data from MASP-2 inhibition in in vivo models of age-related macular degeneration, myocardial infarction, diabetic neuropathy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and other diseases and disorders. We are also developing a longer-acting second generation antibody targeting MASP-2 for which we are targeting for initiation ofexpect to initiate clinical trials in 2022. This program is designated as “OMS1029.” Development efforts are also directed to a small-molecule inhibitor of MASP-2 designed for oral administration as well as to small-molecule inhibitors of MASP-3 and biospecificbispecific small- and large-molecule inhibitors of MASP-2/-3.

GPR174 and GPCR Platform. We have developed a proprietary cellular redistribution assay which we use in a high-throughput manner to identify synthetic ligands, including antagonists, agonists and inverse agonists, that bind to and affect the function of orphan GPCRs. We have screened Class A orphan GPCRs against our small-molecule chemical libraries using the cellular redistribution assay and have identified and confirmed compounds that interact with 54 of the 81 Class A orphan GPCRs linked to a wide range of indications including cancer as well as metabolic, cardiovascular, immunologic, inflammatory and central nervous system disorders. One of our priorities in this program is GPR174, which is involved in the modulation of the immune system. In ex vivo human studies, our small-molecule inhibitors targeting GPR174 upregulate the production of cytokines, block multiple checkpoints and tumor promoters, and suppress regulatory T-cells. Based on our data, we believe that GPR174 controls a major, previously unrecognized pathway in cancer and modulation of the receptor could provide a seminal advance in immuno-oncologic treatments for a wide range of tumors. Our studies in mouse models of melanoma and colon carcinoma found that GPR174-deficiency resulted in significantly reduced tumor growth and improved survival of the animals versus normal mice. Our recent discoveries suggest a new approach to cancer immunotherapy that targets inhibition of GPR174 and can be combined with and significantly improve the tumor-killing effects of other oncologic agents, including radiation, adenosine pathway inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors. These discoveries include (1) identification of cancer-immunity pathways controlled by GPR174, (2) the identification of phosphatidylserine as a natural ligand for GPR174, (3) a collection of novel small-molecule inhibitors of GPR174 and (4) a synergistic enhancement of “tumor-fighting” cytokine production by T cells following the combined inhibition of both GPR174 and the adenosine pathway, (e.g., A2A and/or A2B), another key metabolic pathway that regulates tumor immunity. We continue to focus onare developing both small-molecule and antibody inhibitors of GPR174 and several other of our GPCR targets with the objective of moving compounds targeting them into human trials.trials and exploring several of our other GPCR targets as well.

Fiscal quarters with significantly reduced cataract procedures due to COVID-19

**

Pass-through reimbursement expired on October 1, 2020. In December 2020, separate payment was confirmed for OMIDRIA, effective retroactively as of October 1, 2020.

Pass-through reimbursement for OMIDRIA under Medicare Part B expired on October 1, 2020, which negatively affected our net revenues for September, the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. In December 2020, CMS confirmed that OMIDRIA qualifies for separate payment when used on Medicare Part B patients in ASCs. CMS’ current non-opioid separate payment policy can be changed by CMS through its OPPS/ASC annual rulemaking and

comment process. We believe CMS will continue its separate payment policy for non-opioid pain management surgical drugs, which has been in effect since 2019, and that OMIDRIA will continue to be separately reimbursed when used in the ASC setting.

We expect our net losses will continue until such time as we derive sufficient revenues from sales of OMIDRIA and/or other sources, such as licensing, product sales and other revenues from our product candidates, that are sufficient to cover our operating expenses and debt service obligations.

*Fiscal quarters without pass-through reimbursement.

During the period from January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, OMIDRIA was not reimbursed separately when used for procedures involving patients covered by Medicare Part B and our revenues decreased significantly. After reinstatement of separate reimbursement for OMIDRIA in 4Q 2018, our revenues quickly returned to levels when separate reimbursement was available and quarter-over-quarter revenue growth approximated historical rates. In Q1 2020, OMIDRIA revenues declined due to the impact of COVID-19 on the volume of cataract surgery being performed.

Pass-through status for OMIDRIA is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2020. If we are unable to obtain permanent separate or similar reimbursement for OMIDRIA, the net revenues we receive for OMIDRIA would be reduced, potentially by a significant amount. Although we expect to pursue an alternative sales strategy if we are unable to obtain permanent separate or similar reimbursement for OMIDRIA, we may face difficulties or delays in implementing such a strategy and, even if successfully implemented, we cannot predict whether or to what extent our customers would increase their utilization of OMIDRIA. See “Commercial Product - OMIDRIA” earlier in this section for additional details regarding the pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA.

Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on OMIDRIA sales and the scheduled expiration of pass-through status on September 30, 2020, we are unable to predict future OMIDRIA product sales, net.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, OMIDRIA net revenue was $23.5$21.1 million as compared to $21.8$23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. The increasedecrease in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to increased demandthe timing of ASCs’ ability to verify reimbursement status following the December confirmation by CMS of separate payment for OMIDRIA by ASCs and hospitals followingbefore resuming their OMIDRIA usage. The lack of Medicare Part B reimbursement in the reinstatementhospital setting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 also contributed to the decrease in revenues. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the number of pass-through reimbursement status for OMIDRIA on October 1, 2018. However, revenue forcataract procedures performed in the three monthsquarter ended March 31, 2020 was negatively affected asand, to a result of inventory utilization by ASCs and hospitals in early March in anticipation oflesser extent, the COVID-19-related shutdown of elective surgical procedures. Sales of OMIDRIA were minimal following the postponement of most cataract procedures in mid-March. Revenue for the three monthsquarter ended March 31, 2020 includes a $2.5 million provision2021. With separate payment for OMIDRIA established, we expect OMIDRIA revenues to increase during the potential return of OMIDRIA product. In early May, a large number of states began re-opening ASCs and hospitals to cataract surgery, and we have had facilities in at least 36 states initiate re-ordering of OMIDRIA from our wholesalers. In the event that ongoing customers return product and subsequently repurchase, those sales will be recorded as revenue when the wholesaler acquires the replacement product from us.second quarter.

Gross-to-Net Deductions

Distribution Fees and Product Return Allowances

We pay our wholesalers a distribution fee for services they perform for us based on the dollar value of their purchases of OMIDRIA. We record a provision for these charges as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale to the wholesaler and make payments to our wholesalers based on contractual terms.

We allow for the return of product up to 12 months past its expiration date or for product that is damaged or not used by our customers. We record a provision for returns upon sale of OMIDRIA to our wholesaler. When a return or claim is received, we issue a credit memo to the wholesaler against its outstanding receivable to us or we reimburse the customer. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, as noted above, we recorded a $2.5 million return allowance for return of OMIDRIA product from wholesalers and ASCs related to the postponement of cataract surgeries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, should pass-through reimbursement expire on September 30, 2020, it is possible

that wholesalers, ASCs and hospitals may return a portion of their OMIDRIA on hand for a full refund of the purchase price. If a reserve is required, we would record the reserve during our third quarter of 2020.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses can be divided into three categories: direct external expenses, which include clinical research and development, preclinical research and development activities; internal, overhead and other expenses; and stock-based compensation expense. Direct external expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred pursuant to agreements with third-party manufacturing organizations prior to receiving regulatory approval for a product candidate, contract research organizations, clinical trial sites, collaborators, consultants, and licensors consultants. Costs are reported in preclinical research and development until the program enters the clinic. Internal, overhead and other expenses consist of personnel costs, overhead costs such as rent, utilities and depreciation and other miscellaneous costs. We do not generally allocate our internal resources, employees and infrastructure to any individual research project because we deploy them across multiple clinical and preclinical projects that we are advancing in parallel.

The decrease in preclinical research and development expenseexpenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as2021 compared to the same period in 2019 reflects addition third-party manufacturing scale up costs relatedthe prior year is primarily due to ourthe migration of OMS906 program as well asfrom preclinical research and development to clinical research and analytical activities related our MASP-2 long-acting second-generation antibody program.development beginning in the third quarter of 2020 when OMS906 entered Phase 1 clinical trials.

The increases in internal, overhead and other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period are primarily due to additional employee-related costs and additional leased laboratory facilities to support our increased research and development activities.

We expect the majority of our research and development expenses for the remainder of 2020 will be related to our narsoplimab program. We expectoverall research and development costs to increase in 2020 as we incur incremental manufacturing costs in preparation for the anticipated commercial launch of narsoplimab in HSCT-TMA in the U.S.second quarter of 2021 to be comparable to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

At this time, we are unable to estimate with certainty the longer-term costs we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of our preclinical and clinical development activities as well as to the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially as new data become available and as expectations change. Our future research and development expenses will depend, in part, on the preclinical or clinical success of each

product candidate as well as on ongoing assessments of each program’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with precision which product candidates, if any, may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

We are required to expend substantial resources in the development of our product candidates due to the lengthy process of completing clinical trials and seeking regulatory approval. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could delay our generation of product revenue and increase our research and development expenses.

Interest expense is comprised of contractual interest and amortization of debt issuance and debt discount related to our $210.02023 and 2026 Notes as well as to interest on our finance leases. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million of 6.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Convertible Notes”). Non-cash interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the early adoption of ASU 2020-06, which eliminated the amortization of the non-cash debt discount on the 2023 and 2026 Notes. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in interest related to our 2026 Notes, which were issued in August and September 2020 and 2019 was $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For(for more information, regarding our Convertible Notes, see Part II, Item 8, “Note 8--7—Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.).

Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had $54.0$100.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments available for general corporate use held primarily in money-market accounts as compared to $60.8$135.0 million at December 31, 2019.2020. In addition, as of March 31, 2020,2021, we had $24.1$24.8 million in accounts receivable, net. We have historically generated net losses and incurred negative cash flows from operations and debt service. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred net losses of $29.0 million and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $9.1 million.2021,

In the first quarter of 2020, our business operations and liquidity were negatively affected by the reduction in demand for OMIDRIA caused by restrictions on cataract surgeries implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ongoing restrictions are expected to continue to negatively impact working capital in the second quarter and possibly in future periods, with the magnitude of the impact being dependent on the duration and extent of applicable limitations on the operations of our ASC and hospital customers.

In early May,we incurred a largenet loss of $35.1 million and incurred negative cash flows from operations of $40.3 million. The net loss and the negative cash flows from operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were significantly affected by (1) reduced OMIDRIA revenues following expiration of the drug’s pass-through status and the delayed posting by Medicare Administrative Contractors of CMS’ December 2020 determination that OMIDRIA be paid separately under Medicare Part B in the ASC setting, and (2) the COVID-19-related decrease in the number of states began re-opening ASCscataract procedures performed nationally.

FDA accepted our BLA for narsoplimab in HSCT-TMA for priority review with a PDUFA action date of July 17, 2021. We anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that narsoplimab will receive FDA approval and hospitals to cataract surgery, and we have had facilitieslaunch in at least 36 states initiate re-ordering of OMIDRIA from our wholesalers. However,the U.S. in 2021. If approved, we cannot yetfully predict with certainty the levelstiming or the magnitude of OMIDRIA product narsoplimab revenues, but we believe they will be significant. Our sales and marketing strategies for the launch of narsoplimab for HSCT-TMA include various milestones at which we will achieve. In addition, pass-through reimbursementcommit to incremental spending, such as for OMIDRIA is currently scheduled to expire on September 30, 2020. We are pursuing legislative and administrative means to extend permanent reimbursement but have not yet received such an extension. Consequently, we are unable to includefield sales hiring, providing for flexibility in the determination regarding our prospects as a going concern OMIDRIA revenues and amounts available undertiming of costs incurred should the Lineapproval of Credit Agreement, as borrowing availability is determined based on eligible OMIDRIA accounts receivable. We have also not included any proceeds from debt transactions or other financing instruments, despite our successful track record in accessing capital through each of these avenues nor any potential partnerships related to our products or product candidates. The conditions described above when evaluated within the constraints of the accounting literature raise substantial doubt with respect to our ability to meet our obligations through May 11, 2021 and, therefore, to continue as a going concern.narsoplimab be delayed.

In addition, we may utilize funds available under our receivable-based line of credit, which allows us to borrow up to 85% of our available accounts receivable borrowing base, less certain reserves, or $50.0 million, whichever is less. We also entered into a sales agreement to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, up to an aggregate offering amount of $150.0 million through an “at the extent it is available to us.market” equity offering program. Should it be necessary or determineddetermined to be strategically advantageous, we also could pursue debt financings as well as public and private offerings of our equity securities, similar to those we have previously completed, previously, and/or other strategic transactions, which may include licensing a portion of our existing technology. If these capital sources, for any reason, are needed but inaccessible, it would have a significantly negative effect on our financial condition. Should it be necessary to manage our operating expenses, we would reduce our projected cash requirements through reduction of our expenses by delaying clinical trials, reducing selected research and development efforts, and/or implementing other restructuring activities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is primarily confined to our investment securities. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our objectives, we maintain a portfolio of investments in high-credit-quality securities. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $54.0$100.5 million. In accordance with our investment policy, we invest funds in highly liquid, investment-grade securities. These securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are classified as available-for-sale. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a materialmaterially negative impact on the realized value of our investment portfolio. We actively monitor changes in interest rates and, with our current portfolio of short-term investments, we are not exposed to potential loss due to changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2020.2021. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020,2021, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We operate in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. Before making an investment decision you should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020.1, 2021. In assessing the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, you should also refer to the other information included therein and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, we may be adversely affected by risks that we currently deem immaterial or by other risks that are not currently known to us. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and you may lose all or part of your investment.

The risk factors set forth below update, and should be read together with, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our ability to achieve profitability is highly dependent on the commercial success of OMIDRIA, and to the extent OMIDRIA is not successful, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the price of our common stock may decline.

OMIDRIA is our only product that has been approved by the FDA, for commercial sale in the U.S. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded net sales of OMIDRIA of $23.5 million. Revenues from sales of OMIDRIA have not been sufficient to fund our operations fully in prior periods and we cannot provide assurance that revenues from OMIDRIA sales will be sufficient to fund our operations fully in the future. We will need to generate substantially more product revenue from OMIDRIA to achieve and sustain profitability. We may be unable to sustain or increase revenues generated from OMIDRIA product sales for a number of reasons, including:

the significant reduction in the volume of ophthalmic surgical procedures and corresponding reduction in demand for OMIDRIA as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
the scheduled expiration of pass-through reimbursement on September 30, 2020 and uncertainty regarding the extent of coverage and reimbursement for OMIDRIA when used in Medicare patients after September 30, 2020;
pricing, coverage and reimbursement policies of government and private payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, group purchasing organizations, insurance companies, health maintenance organizations and other plan administrators;
a lack of acceptance by physicians, patients and other members of the healthcare community;
the availability, relative price and efficacy of the product as compared to alternative treatment options or branded, compounded or generic competing products;
an unknown safety risk;
the failure to enter into and maintain acceptable partnering arrangements for marketing and distribution of OMIDRIA outside of the U.S.; and
changed or increased regulatory restrictions in the U.S., EU and/or other foreign territories.

-29-

Table of Contents

Any decline in sales from OMIDRIA also would impact our ability to borrow under the Loan Agreement since the amount we can borrow is dependent on our eligible receivables.

The spread of COVID-19 and efforts to reduce its transmission may negatively impact our business, operations and financial results.

The spread of COVID-19 and efforts to reduce its transmission have significantly affected the global economy and have adversely affected our sales of OMIDRIA due to a reduction in the overall volume of cataract surgery and intraocular lens replacement procedures. On March 18, 2020, The American Academy of Ophthalmology issued a letter recommending that all ophthalmologists immediately cease providing any treatment other than urgent or emergent care. Upon this recommendation the ASCs and hospitals using OMIDRIA temporarily postponed nearly all cataract surgery. Consequently, our sales of OMIDRIA have been minimal to our wholesalers following the announcement. In early May, a large number of states began re-opening ASCs and hospitals to cataract surgery, and we have had facilities in at least 36 states initiate re-ordering of OMIDRIA from our wholesalers. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a continuing adverse impact on our business and financial results, including through sustained limitation on cataract surgery and corresponding reduction in demand for OMIDRIA, disruptions in commercial sales activities, higher than normal volume of OMIDRIA product returns, as well as a deterioration of general economic conditions.

We may also experience disruptions to our operations due to COVID-19, such as delays or disruptions with respect to manufacturing of clinical or commercial drug substance or drug product and delays in our clinical trials or in the submission or review of regulatory applications. Such delays or disruptions could negatively affect our commercial operations, clinical programs, and research and development. The health of our employees, contractors and other persons on whom we rely may be adversely affected by COVID-19. Although we are taking precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, these measures may be ineffective or may otherwise adversely affect our productivity. In addition, the conditions created by the pandemic may intensify other risks inherent in our business. Due to the unknown magnitude, duration and outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible to estimate precisely its impact on our business, operations or financial results; however, the impact could be material.

To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, financial condition, and results of operations and global economic conditions more generally, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risk factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

If our clinical trials or clinical protocols are delayed, suspended or terminated, we may be unable to develop our product candidates on a timely basis, which would adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, increase our development costs and delay or prevent commercialization of approved products.

We cannot predict whether we will encounter problems with any of our completed, ongoing or planned clinical trials or clinical data collection protocols that will cause regulatory agencies, institutional review boards or ethics committees, or us to delay our clinical trials or suspend or delay the analysis of the data from those trials. Clinical trials and clinical data protocols can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including:

discussions with the FDA, the EMA or other foreign authorities regarding the scope or design of our clinical trials or clinical data collection protocols;
delays or the inability to obtain required approvals from institutional review boards, ethics committees or other responsible entities at clinical sites selected for participation in our clinical trials;
delays in enrolling patients into clinical trials, collecting data from enrolled patients, adequately monitoring patients before or after treatment, or collecting historical control data for any reason including disease severity, trial or data collection protocol design, study eligibility criteria, patient population size (e.g., for orphan diseases or for some pediatric indications), proximity and/or availability of clinical trial sites for prospective patients, availability of competing therapies and clinical trials, regional differences in diagnosis and treatment, perceived risks and benefits of the product or product candidate, physician patient referral practices, disruptions due to external events, including an outbreak of pandemic or contagious disease such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, which has slowed enrollment in our clinical trials of narsoplimab in patients with IgA nephropathy;

Table of Contents

lower than anticipated retention rates of patients in clinical trials;
the need to repeat or conduct additional clinical trials as a result of inconclusive or negative results, failure to replicate positive early clinical data in subsequent clinical trials, failure to deliver an efficacious dose of a product candidate, poorly executed testing, a failure of a clinical site to adhere to the clinical protocol, an unacceptable study design or other problems;
adverse findings in clinical or nonclinical studies related to the safety of our product candidates in humans;
an insufficient supply of product candidate materials or other materials necessary to conduct our clinical trials;
the need to qualify new suppliers of product candidate materials for FDA and foreign regulatory approval;
an unfavorable inspection or review by the FDA or other regulatory authority of a clinical trial site or records of any clinical investigation;
the occurrence of unacceptable drug-related side effects or adverse events experienced by participants in our clinical trials;
the suspension by a regulatory agency of a trial by imposing a clinical hold; or
the amendment of clinical trial or data collection protocols to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and guidance or other reasons as well as subsequent re-examination of amendments to clinical trial or data collection protocols by institutional review boards or ethics committees.
In addition, our clinical trial or development programs have been, and in the future may be, suspended or terminated by us, the FDA or other regulatory authorities, or institutional review boards or ethics committees due to a number of factors, including:
failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols;
inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial sites by the FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold;
the failure to remove a clinical hold in a timely manner, if at all;
unforeseen safety issues or any determination that a trial presents unacceptable health risks;
inability to deliver an efficacious dose of a product candidate; or
lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial or development program, including as a result of unforeseen costs due to enrollment delays, requirements to conduct additional trials and studies and/or increased expenses associated with the services of our contract research organizations (“CROs”), or other third-parties.

If the results of our clinical trials are not available when we expect or if we encounter any delay in the analysis of data from our clinical trials, we may be unable to file for regulatory approval or conduct additional clinical trials on the schedule we currently anticipate. Many of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of a product candidate. Any delays in completing our clinical trials could increase our development costs, could slow down our product development and regulatory submission process, could delay our receipt of product revenue and could make it difficult to raise additional capital. In addition, significant clinical trial delays also could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to commercialize our future products, potentially harming our business.
