1.   Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Biohaven Ltd. (“we,” “us," "our," "Biohaven" or the “Company”) was incorporated in Tortola, British Virgin Islands in May 2022. We areBiohaven is a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of life-changing therapies for people with debilitating neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases, including rare disorders. The Company is advancing a pipeline of therapies for diseases with target indications, including epilepsy, mood disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (“OCD”), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (“SMA”)little or no treatment options, leveraging its proven drug development capabilities and pain disorders. Our neuroscience portfolio includes a broad pipeline of drug candidates modulating distinct nervous system targets,proprietary platforms, including Kv7 ion channels (“Kv7”),channel modulation for epilepsy and neuronal hyperexcitability, glutamate receptors, myostatin, and Transient Receptor Potential (“TRP”) channels.
Separation from Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd.
On May 9, 2022, Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (the "Former Parent"), Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”modulation for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder ("OCD") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer (“Merger Sub”spinocerebellar ataxia ("SCA"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which provided for the acquisition by Pfizer of the Former Parent through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Former Parent (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Former Parent and Biohaven Ltd. entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2022 (the “Distribution Agreement”). In connection with the Distribution Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Former Parent approved and directed the Former Parent’s management to effect the Spin-Off of the business, operations, and activities that are not the CGRP Business (as defined below), including the Kv7 ion channel activators, glutamate modulation, MPO inhibition and myostatin inhibition platforms, preclinicalfor neuromuscular diseases, and brain-penetrant Tyrosine Kinase 2/Janus Kinase 1 ("TYK2/JAK1") inhibition for immune-mediated brain disorders. Biohaven's portfolio of early- and late-stage product candidates also includes discovery research programs focused on TRPM3 channel activation for neuropathic pain, CD-38 antibody recruiting, bispecific molecules for multiple myeloma, antibody drug conjugates ("ADCs"), and certain corporate infrastructure currently owned by the Former Parent.
To implement the Spin-Off, the Former Parent transferred the related license agreements, intellectual propertyextracellular target degrader platform technology ("MoDE") with potential application in neurological disorders, cancer, and corporate infrastructure, including certain non-commercial employee agreements, share based awards and other corporate agreements (the "Business") to Biohaven Ltd., through a series of internal restructuring transactions. Descriptions of historical business activities in these Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements are presented as if these transfers had already occurred,
and the Former Parent’s activities related to such assets and liabilities had been performed by the Company.
On October 3, 2022, the Former Parent completed the distribution (the “Distribution”) to holders of its common shares of all of the outstanding common shares of Biohaven Ltd. and the spin-off of Biohaven from the Former Parent (the “Spin-Off”) described in Biohaven’s Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) attached as Exhibit 99.1 to Biohaven’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended (Reg. No. 001-41477), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 22, 2022 (the “Form 10”). Each holder of Former Parent common shares received one common share of Biohaven for every two Former Parent common shares held of record as of the close of business, New York City time, on September 26, 2022. In the Distribution, an aggregate of 35,832,557 Biohaven common shares were issued. As a result of the Distribution, Biohaven Ltd. became an independent, publicly traded company.
The Spin-Off generally resulted in (a) the Company directly or indirectly owning, assuming, or retaining certain assets and liabilities of the Former Parent and its subsidiaries related to the Former Parent’s pipeline assets and businesses and (b) the Former Parent directly or indirectly owning, assuming, or retaining all other assets and liabilities, including those associated with the Former Parent’s platform for the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of calcitonin gene-related receptor antagonists, including rimegepant, zavegepant and the Heptares Therapeutics Limited preclinical CGRP portfolio and related assets (the “CGRP Business”).autoimmune diseases.
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts may require additional capital, additional personnel and infrastructure, and further regulatory and other capabilities. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.
Separation from Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd.
On May 9, 2022, Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (the "Former Parent"), Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) and Bulldog (BVI) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer (“Merger Sub”), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which provided for the acquisition by Pfizer of the Former Parent through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Former Parent (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Former Parent and Biohaven entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2022 (the “Distribution Agreement”). In connection with the Distribution Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Former Parent approved and directed the Former Parent’s management to effect the Spin-Off (as defined below) of the business, operations, and activities that are not the CGRP Business (as defined below), including the Kv7 ion channel activators, glutamate modulation, MPO inhibition and myostatin inhibition platforms, preclinical product candidates, and certain corporate infrastructure currently owned by the Former Parent.

it is uncertain when, if ever,stock units that vested on October 3, 2022. As a result of the Distribution, Biohaven became an independent, publicly traded company. Collectively, we refer to the Distribution and Spin-Off throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as the "Separation."
The Separation generally resulted in (a) the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales.directly or indirectly owning, assuming, or retaining certain assets and liabilities of the Former Parent and its subsidiaries related to the Former Parent’s pipeline assets and businesses and (b) the Former Parent directly or indirectly owning, assuming, or retaining all other assets and liabilities, including those associated with the Former Parent’s platform for the research, development, manufacture and commercialization of calcitonin gene-related receptor antagonists, including rimegepant, zavegepant and the Heptares Therapeutics Limited preclinical CGRP portfolio and related assets (the “CGRP Business”).
Upon formationIn connection with the Separation, the Company entered into various agreements relating to transition services, licenses and through September 30, 2022, Biohaven Ltd. had 100 common shares of no par value outstanding.certain other matters with the Former Parent. For additional information regarding these agreements, see Note 13, "Related Party Transactions."
Basis of Presentation
On October 3, 2022, the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and its financial statements are now presented on a condensed consolidated basis. Prior to the Separation on October 3, 2022, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from the Former Parent's consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The accompanyingfinancial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to October 3, 2022, are now referred to as "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Periods Prior to the Separation
For periods prior to the Separation, the condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements present, on a historical basis, the combined assets, liabilities, expenses and cash flows directly attributable to the Business, which have been prepared from the Former Parent’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records, and are presented on a stand-alone basis as if the operations had been conducted
independently from the Former Parent. Historically, separate financial statements have not been prepared for the Company and it had not operated as a standalone business from the Former Parent during the periods covered by the condensed combined financial statements.
The condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements of operations and comprehensive loss for periods prior to the Separation include all costs directly related to the Business, including costs for facilities, functions and services utilized by the Company. The condensed combinedconsolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for periods prior to the Separation also include allocations for various expenses related to the Former Parent’s corporate functions, including research and development, human resources, information technology, facilities, tax, shared services, accounting, finance and legal. These expenses were allocated on the basis of direct usage or benefit when specifically identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a proportional cost allocation method primarily based on employee labor hours or direct expenses. Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements, including the expense methodology and resulting allocation, are reasonable for all periods presented. However, the allocations may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Company and may not reflect its combinedconsolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a standalone company during the periods presented. It is not practicable to estimate actual costs that would have been incurred had the Company been a standalone company and operated as
an unaffiliated entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that might have been incurred had the Company been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what corporate functions the Company might have performed directly or outsourced and strategic decisions the Company might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions.
The income tax amounts in the condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements have beenfor periods prior to the separation was calculated on a separate return method and are presented as if the Company’s operations were separate taxpayers in the respective jurisdiction. Therefore, tax expense, cash tax payments, and items of current and deferred taxes may not be reflective of the Company’s actual tax balances prior to or subsequent to the Distribution.
On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into several agreements with the Former Parent in connection with the Spin-Off, including a Transition Services Agreement, a United States Distribution Services Agreement and Outsourcing & Employee Transfer Agreements. For additional information regarding these agreements, see Note 10, Subsequent Events.
The Company expects to continue to incur certain costs to establish itself as a standalone public company, as well as ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company.
The condensed combined balance sheets include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributableperiods prior to the Company, including certain assets that were historically held atSeparation, the corporate level in the Former Parent. All intracompany transactions within the Company have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between the Company and the Former Parent are considered to be effectively settled in the condensed combined financial statements at the time the transactions are recorded. The total net effect of these intercompany transactions considered to be settled is reflected in the condensed combined statement of cash flows within financing activities and in the condensed combined balance sheets as “Net investment from Former Parent.” See Note 9, Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding related party transactions.
OurCompany's equity balance in these condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements represents the excess of total assets over liabilities. Net investment from Former Parent is primarily impacted by contributions from Former Parent, which are the result of net funding provided by or distributed to Former Parent. As a result of the

Ascompany’s combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, the Company was a co-obligor, jointly and severally with the Former Parent on its third-party long-term debt obligations with Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. The Former Parent’s third-party long-term debt and related interest expense are not reflected2022. Additional separation-related adjustments could be recorded in the condensed combined financial statements because the Company had not agreed to pay a specified amount of the borrowings on the basis of its arrangement with the Former Parent, nor was the Company expected to pay any portion of the Former Parent’s third-party debt, and the borrowings are not specifically identifiable to the Company. On October 3, 2022, an affiliate of Pfizer, on behalf of the Former Parent, repaid in full all of the indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities owed by the Former Parent, including prepayment penalties. In connection with the termination and repayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities under the Sixth Street Financing Agreement, all related liens and security interests granted by or arising under the Sixth Street Financing Agreement were automatically released and discharged. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding debt.future periods.
Going Concern
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements are issued.
Through November 9, 2022,May 12, 2023, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Co. Ltd., its Former Parent, its recentproceeds from the public offering as discussedof its common shares in Note 10, Subsequent Events,October 2022, and the cash contribution received from the Former Parent at the DistributionSeparation as discussed below. The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception and expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, immediately prior to the Distribution, the Former Parent made a cash contribution to the Company which resulted in a cash balance of approximately $257,799 as
of October 3, 2022. Additionally, on October 25, 2022, the Company completed a public offering of its common shares which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $282,763. See Note 10, Subsequent Events, for further detail on the public offering. Accordingly, asAs of the date of issuance of these condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements, the Company expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operating expenses, financial commitments and other cash requirements for at least one year after the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company’s future viability will be dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations.
To execute its business plans, the Company will require funding to support its continuing operations and pursue its growth strategy. Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales or royalties, if ever, it expects to finance its operations through the sale of public or private equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion
or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all.

financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of intangible assets, determining the allocations of costs and expenses from the Former Parent and the accrual for research and development expenses. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
The following represents a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
As of March 31, 2023As of March 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents$125,031 $40,258 
Restricted cash held on behalf of Former Parent61,548 —

Restricted cash (included in other non-current assets)2,573 750 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the period in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows$190,590 $41,008 
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
In-process research and development ("IPR&D") that the Company acquires in conjunction with the acquisition of a business represents the fair value assigned to incomplete research projects which, at the time of acquisition, have not reached technological feasibility. The amounts are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, the asset is classified as a definite-lived intangible and the Company will make a determination as to the then-useful life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which the substantial majority of the cash flows are expected to be generated, and begin amortization.
The Company evaluates IPR&D for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, by performing a quantitative test that compares the fair value of the IPR&D intangible asset with its carrying value. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
If we acquire an asset or group of assets that do not meet the definition of a business under applicable accounting standards, the acquired IPR&D is expensed on its acquisition date, unless it has an alternative future use. Future costs to develop these assets are recorded to research and development expense as they are incurred.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share was calculated based on the 39,368,042 shares of the Company's common stock distributed to the Former Parent's shareholders at the time of the Distribution, including common shares issued in connection with Former Parent stock options that were exercised on October 3, 2022 and common shares issued in connection with Former Parent restricted stock units that vested on October 3, 2022. The same number of shares is being utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Spin-Off.

Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force), which provides guidance on modifications or exchanges of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another topic. An entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument, and provides further guidance on measuring the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 also provides guidance on the recognition of the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange on the basis of the substance of the transaction, in the same manner as if cash had been paid as consideration. The guidance has been applied prospectively and did not have a material effect on the combined financial statements of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, to clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. The ASU also introduced new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company does not expect ASU No. 2022-03 to have a material effect on its combinedconsolidated financial statements.

4.   Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires certain assets and liabilities to be reflected at their fair value and others to be reflected on another basis, such as an adjusted historical cost basis. In this note, the Company provides details on the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and how it determines those fair values.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
Certain assets of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
For a description of the methods and assumptions that are used to estimate the fair value and determine the fair value hierarchy classification of each class of financial instrument, see Note 4 “Fair Value of Financial Assets and

In December 2020, the Company entered into a Series A-2 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Artizan Biosciences Inc. (“Artizan”). Under the agreement, the Company paid Artizan 61,494 shares of the Former Parent’s common shares valued at $6,000, which were issued in January 2021. In exchange, the Company acquired 34,472,031 shares of series A-2 preferred stock of Artizan. In June 2022, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Artizan. Under the Amendment, the Company made a cash payment of $4,000 in exchange for 22,975,301 additional shares of series A-2 preferred stock of Artizan. The Company determined that it was not practical to estimate the fair value of this investment as it represents Series A-2 Preferred Stock of an unlisted company. On a routine basis the Company will determine if additional preferred shares of the unlisted company have been issued and will adjust the carrying value of its Series A-2 Preferred Stock investment accordingly.

(1)     Prior to the Spin-Off from the Former Parent on October 3, 2022, Biohaven did not operate as an independent company. At the time of the Distribution, 39,375,944 shares of the Company's common stock were distributed to the Former Parent's shareholders, including common shares issued in connection with Former Parent share options that were exercised on October 3, 2022 and common shares issued in connection with Former Parent restricted share units that vested on October 3, 2022. This number of shares is being utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Spin-Off.
The Company's potential dilutive securities include share options which have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders of the Company is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

7.11.   Commitments and Contingencies
All consideration paid by the Former Parent in association with the following agreements, certain of which were assigned by the Former Parent to the Company in connection with the Spin-Off, is recorded in the condensed combined financial statements of the Company.
Lease Agreements
The Former Parent’sCompany leases primarily consisted ofcertain office space that was attributedand laboratory space. There have been no material changes to the Company in connection with the Spin-Off. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Real estate leases for facilities have an average remaining lease term of 4.43 years as of September 30, 2022, for which none include the optional extension. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to record short-term leases (leases with an initial term of 12 months or less) on the balance sheet. The Company currently has two short-term leases with immaterial lease expense.
Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since most of the Company’s leases do not have a readily determinable implicit discount rate, the Company uses the Former Parent’s incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease payments. The Company does not separate lease components (e.g., payments for rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) from non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) in the event that the agreement contains both. The Company includes both the lease and non-lease components for purposes of calculating the right-of-use asset and related lease liability (if the non-lease components are fixed). The allocated operating lease cost was $159 and $379 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $55 and $208 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
Certain of the Company’s lease agreements contain variable lease payments that are adjusted for

The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its combinedcondensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2021.2022.
License Agreements
The Former ParentCompany entered into license agreements with various parties that are directly attributed to the Company under which it is obligated to make contingent and non-contingent payments (see Note 6)10).

The Sixth Street Financing Agreement provided for term loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $750,000, plus any capitalized interest paid in kind, and was accounted for as third-party, long-term debt by the Former Parent.
The Company was a co-obligor, jointly and severally with the Former Parent on its third-party long-term debt obligation under the Sixth Street Financing Agreement. The Former Parent’s third-party debt and related interest expense are not reflected in the combined financial statements because the Company had not agreed to pay a specified amount of the borrowings on the basis of its arrangement with the Former Parent, nor was the Company expected to pay any portion of the Former Parent’s third-party debt, and the borrowings were not specifically identifiable to the Company. On October 3, 2022, an affiliate of Pfizer, on behalf of the Former Parent, repaid in full all of the indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities owed by the Former Parent, including prepayment penalties. In connection with the termination and repayment in full
of the indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities under the Sixth Street Financing Agreement, all related liens and security interests granted by or arising under the Sixth Street Financing Agreement were automatically released and discharged.
Legal Proceedings

Cost Allocations
The condensed combined financial statements reflect allocations of certain expenses from the financial statements of the Former Parent, including research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses. These allocations include, but are not limited to, executive management, employee compensation and benefits, facilities and operations, information technology, business development, financial services (such as accounting, audit, and tax), legal, insurance, and share-based compensation. Some of these services will continue to be provided to the Former ParentSeparation on a temporary basis following the Distribution under a transition services agreement.

These allocations to the Company are reflected in the condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss as follows:

The allocations may not, however, be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone public company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone public company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what corporate functions the Company might have performed directly or outsourced and strategic decisions the Company might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions.

Separation from Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd.
On October 3,May 9, 2022, the Board of Directors of Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (the “Former Parent”) approved and directed Former Parent’s management to effect the spin-off of the Kv7 ion channel activators, glutamate modulation and myostatin inhibition platforms, preclinical product candidates, and certain corporate infrastructure then owned by Former Parent (collectively, the “Biohaven Business”).
On October 3, 2022, the Former Parent completed the distribution (the “Distribution”) to holders of its common shares of all of the outstanding common shares of Biohaven Ltd. (the “Company”"Company" or “Biohaven”"Biohaven") and the spin-off of Biohaven Ltd. from the Former Parent (the “Spin-Off”) described in Biohaven’s Information Statement attached as Exhibit 99.1 to Biohaven’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended (Reg. No. 001-41477), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 22, 2022 (the “Form 10”).2022. Each holder of Former Parent common shares received one common share of Biohaven for every two of the Former Parent common shares held of record as of the close of business New York City time, on September 26, 2022. To implement the Spin-Off, the Former Parent transferred certain license agreements, intellectual property and the Former Parent’s corporate infrastructure, including certain non-commercial employee agreements, share-based awards and other corporate agreements to Biohaven. Collectively, we refer to the Distribution and Spin-Off

Transition from the Former Parent and Costs to Operate as an Independent Company
The combinedcondensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Separation reflect the operating
results and financial position of the Company as it was operated by the Former Parent prior to the Separation, rather than as an independent company. We have incurred and will continue to incur ongoing operating expenses to operate as an independent
company. These costs will include the cost of various corporate headquarters functions, information technology-related costs and costs to operate stand-alone accounting, legal and other administrative functions. We will also incur non-recurring expenses and non-recurring capital expenditures. As an independent company, our information technology operating costs may be higher than the costs allocated in the historical combined financial statements. It is not practicable to estimate the costs that would have been incurred in each of the periods presented in the historical combined financial statements for the functions described above. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we operated as a stand-alone company during these periods would have depended on various factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what corporate functions the Company might have performed directly or outsourced and strategic decisions the Company might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions. During the transition from the Former Parent, we may incur non-recurring expenses to expand our infrastructure.
Transactions with Related Parties
We have entered into a Distribution Agreement and various agreements relating to transition services, licenses and certain other matters with the Former Parent. These agreements govern our relationship with the Former Parent and include the allocation of employee benefits, taxes and certain other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Distribution.Separation.

Kv7 Platform
BHV-7000
In April 2022, we closed the acquisition from Knopp Biosciences LLC (“Knopp”) of Channel Biosciences, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Knopp owning the assets of Knopp’s Kv7 channel targeting platform, pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated February 24, 2022. The acquisition of the Kv7 channel targeting platform adds the latest advances in ion-channel modulation to our growing neuroscience portfolio. BHV-7000 (formerly known as KB-3061), the lead asset from the Kv7 platform is an activator of Kv7.2/Kv7.3, a key ion channel involved in neuronal signaling and in regulating the hyperexcitable state in epilepsy. In June 2022, our Clinical Trial Application for BHV-7000 was approved by Health Canada, and in July we began clinical development. OurDosing has been completed in our Phase 1 SAD/MAD study with BHV-7000BHV-7000. In January 2023, the Company reported preliminary safety tolerability and pharmacokinetic ("PK") data from the Phase 1 SAD/MAD study with BHV-7000. In the study, single doses up to 100 mg and multiple doses up to 40 mg daily for 15 days were safe and well-tolerated, with low rates of adverse events. Most adverse events were mild and resolved spontaneously. No serious or severe adverse events and/or dose limiting toxicities were reported. Importantly, CNS adverse events typically associated with other anti-seizure medications were not reported with BHV-7000; in unblinded data from the MAD cohorts, mild headache was the most common adverse event
reported across all dose groups. Drug-related adverse events of somnolence, dizziness, fatigue, and ataxia were not observed. With respect to preliminary PK results, the Company exceeded target concentrations for efficacy based on the preclinical maximal electroshock ("MES") model, which is currently underwayclinically validated and we expect results by the first halfpredictive of 2023.target concentration ranges in humans.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is the initial disease wew›e are targeting with activators from our Kv7 platform. Epilepsy affects approximately 3.5 million Americans, or more than 1.2% of adults and 0.6% of children in the U.S., and more than 50 million patients worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (“WHO”). It is the fourth most common neurological disorder, and many patients struggle to achieve freedom from seizures, with more than one third of patients requiring two or more medications to manage their epilepsy. While the use of anti-seizure medications is often accompanied by dose-limiting side effects, our clinical candidate BHV-7000 is specifically designed to target subtypes of Kv7 potassium channels without engagement of GABAA receptors. The lack of GABAA-R activity potentially gives BHV-7000 a wide therapeutic window which we expect to result in an improved side effect profile, limiting the somnolence and fatigue often seen in patients receiving anti-seizure medications. By adding BHV-7000 to our pipeline, we aim to bring this potassium channel modulator as a potential solution to patients with epilepsy who remain uncontrolled on their current
27

Form 10-Q Table of Contents
regimens. If our Phase 1 study with BHV-7000 is successfully completed, weWe expect to initiate at least one pivotal trial in patients with epilepsy in the second half of 2023.
KCNQ2 Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy
We are currently exploring BHV-7000 as a potential treatment for KCNQ2 developmental epileptic encephalopathy ("KCNQ2-DEE"), a rare pediatric epileptic encephalopathy first described in 2012 resulting from dominant-negative mutations in the KCNQ2 gene. BHV-7000 has been granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"(“FDA”) for the treatment of KCNQ2-DEE.
Mood Disorders
Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the US are living with neuropsychiatric illnesses that are, in turn, associated with inadequate treatment, poor quality of life, disability, and considerable direct and indirect costs. There is significant unmet need for novel and effective therapeutic options that are not limited by long latency periods to clinical effects, low response rates, and significant risks and side effects. Increasing evidence from animal models and clinical trials now suggests that Kv7.2/7.3 targeting drugs offer the potential to treat a spectrum of these neuropsychiatric diseases including, but not limited to, mood disorders, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and anxiety. We plan to advance BHV-7000 as a potential treatment for patients with bipolar disorder and intend to start a clinical trial targeting this indication by the end of 2023.
Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain, as defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain, is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system and includes a collection of heterogeneous conditions that are often chronic and debilitating and for which long term therapy is difficult. In the United States, over 30 million adults are estimated to be living with neuropathic pain.
Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Kv7 targeting drugs in clinical trials for pain indications and in animal models. Selective Kv7 potassium channel activators represent a promising new approach in the development of non-opioid therapeutic options for neuropathic pain. In addition to leveraging reduced abuse and addiction risk potential of potassium channel activators, our Kv7 potassium channel platform addresses the complexities of channel subtype physiology through targeted pharmacology to overcome the limitations inherent in unbiased Kv7 activators and is intended to deliver a well-tolerated, highly effective, non-opioid treatment for neuropathic pain.
We are currently evaluating the activity of BHV-7000 and other compounds from our proprietary series of selective Kv7.2/7.3 activators in multiple preclinical models of neuropathic pain.
BHV-7010
BHV-7010 is being developed as a next generation Kv7.2/7.3 activator with improved selectivity over Kv7.4 and differentiated ADME properties that provide flexibility for the treatment of different neurological diseases. The IND is expected to be submitted in the second half of 2023.
TYK2/JAK1
Agreement with Hangzhou Highlightll Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.
In March 2023, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide (excluding People’s Republic of China and its territories and possessions) license agreement with Hangzhou Highlightll Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. ("Highlightll"), pursuant to which we obtained the right to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize Highlightll’s brain penetrant dual TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor program (the "Highlightll Agreement"). As partial consideration for the Highlightll Agreement, we are obligated to pay Highlightll a cash payment of $10.0 million and 721,136 common shares valued at approximately $10.0 million as of the agreement execution, upon the completion of certain post-closing activities, which were not completed as of March 31, 2023. See Note 10, "License Agreements," for further detail on the Highlightll Agreement.
BHV-8000
Dysregulation of the immune system has been implicated in several neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders including Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Autoimmune Encephalitis. Over-active immune cells and microglia driving chronic neuroinflammation results in release of cytokines with activation of leukocytes and is thought to contribute to neuronal injury, death, gliosis, and demyelination. The TYK2 and JAK1 signal transduction pathways mediate highly complementary immune and inflammatory signaling events. Targeted, small-molecule therapies that inhibit TYK2 or JAK kinases have separately demonstrated robust efficacy in autoimmune, dermatologic and gastrointestinal disorders. TYK2 is a validated immune target as evidenced by a recent peripheral program that gained FDA approval, and there are multiple additional peripheral non-CNS programs in clinical development. Brain penetrant inhibitors of TYK2/JAK1 have the potential to bring this validated immune target to brain disorders.
There are currently no brain penetrant, selective, dual TYK2/JAK1 inhibitors approved for brain disorders. We expect to advance BHV-8000 (previously TLL-041), into a Phase 1 study in 2023. We acquired the worldwide rights to BHV-8000 (excluding People’s Republic of China and its territories and possessions) under an exclusive license agreement with Highlightll. The Company is evaluating and has not yet finalized potential

clinical trial designs, including size and primary and secondary endpoints.
Glutamate Platform
The most advanced product candidate from our glutamate receptor antagonist platform is troriluzole (previously referred to as trigriluzole and BHV-4157), which is in multiple Phase 3 trials. Other product candidates include BHV-5500, which is an antagonist of the glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor.
Troriluzole
Spinocerebellar Ataxia
In May 2022, the Company announced top-line results from the Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of its investigational therapy,

Form 10-Q Table of Contents
troriluzole, in patients with SCA. The primary endpoint, change from baseline to Week 48 on the modified functional Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (f-SARA), did not reach statistical significance in the overall SCA population as there was less than expected disease progression over the course of the study. In the overall study population (N=213), the troriluzole and placebo groups each had mean baseline scores of 4.9 on the f-SARA and the two groups showed minimal change at the 48-week endpoint with f-SARA scores of 5.1 and 5.2, respectively (p=0.76).
Post hoc analysis of efficacy measures by genotype suggests a treatment effect in patients with the SCA Type 3 (“SCA3”) genotype, which represents the most common form of SCA and accounted for 41% of the study population. In the SCA3 subgroup, troriluzole showed a numerical treatment benefit on the change in f-SARA score from baseline to Week 48 compared to placebo (least squares (“LS”) mean change difference -0.55, nominal p-value = 0.053, 95% CI: -1.12, 0.01). SCA patients treated with troriluzole showed minimal disease progression over the study period. Further, in patients in the SCA3 subgroup with mild disease severity at baseline, defined as those who were able to walk without assistance at baseline (i.e., f-SARA Gait Item score = 1), troriluzole demonstrated a greater numerical treatment benefit on the change in f-SARA score from baseline to Week 48 compared to placebo (LS mean change difference -0.71, nominal p-value = 0.031, 95% CI: -1.36, -0.07). Notably, the f-SARA is a novel, 16-point scale developed in collaboration with FDA as the primary outcome measure for this trial; the scale was designed to limit subjectivity of the scale and focus on functional aspects of the disease so that significant changes would be considered clinically meaningful.
Across all SCA genotypes, and SCA3 specifically, patient reported falls, as measured by adverse events, reveal reductions of fall risk in the troriluzole group compared to the placebo.
The risk reduction of falls in the troriluzole group combined with the progression of f-SARA scores in the
untreated SCA3 group compared to SCA3 patients on troriluzole demonstrates that SCA3 patients experienced a clinically meaningful improvement in ataxia symptoms on troriluzole treatment. Given these findings and the debilitating nature of SCA, we intend to interact with the FDA and and/or European Medicines Agency ("EMA") in the first half of 2023. We have not yet decided on the format of such a regulatory interaction but we could seek advice through various formal or informal interactions with regulatory agencies or we could choose to submit an NDA if we believe that is warranted from the results of our ongoing post-hoc analyses. There are currently no FDA-approved medications for the treatment of SCA or any other cerebellar ataxia, and treatment is supportive. In general, multidisciplinary care provides supportive measures and the goal of this treatment is to improve quality of life and survival.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
We commenced a Phase 2/3 double-blind, randomized, controlled trial to assess the efficacy of troriluzole in adults with OCD in December 2017. The Phase 2/3 study results were announced in June 2020. Troriluzole 200 mg administered once daily as adjunctive therapy in OCD patients with inadequate response to standard of care treatment showed consistent numerical improvement over placebo on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) at all study timepoints (weeks 4 to 12) but did not meet the primary outcome measure at week 12. Troriluzole treated subjects (n = 111) had a mean Y-BOCS improvement of -3.4 points from baseline versus -2.9 for placebo-treated (n = 115) subjects [difference -0.5 and p-value = 0.451] at week 4, -5.1 points (n = 96) versus -3.6 for placebo-treated (n = 108) subjects [difference -1.5 and p-value = 0.041] at week 8, and -5.9 points (n = 99) versus -4.9 for placebo-treated (n = 102) subjects [difference -1.0 and p-value = 0.220] at week 12. Troriluzole’s safety profile was generally consistent with past clinical trial experience with its active metabolite, riluzole. Treatment emergent adverse events (“TEAE”s) were mostly reported to be mild in intensity. TEAEs that occurred in at least 5% of patients in the troriluzole group, and more frequently in the troriluzole group than in the placebo group, were headache, dizziness, fatigue, somnolence, nausea and nasopharyngitis.
Given the strong signal in the Phase 2/3 proof of concept study and after receiving feedback from the FDA in an End of Phase 2 meeting, in December 2020 we initiated enrollment in a Phase 3 program. The Phase 3 program will have an estimated total enrollment of 1,300up to 700 participants in each trial with a primary endpoint of change from baseline on the Y-BOCS total score at week 4, 8 and 10. The two Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that make-up our Phase 3 program for OCD are currently ongoing with enrollment expected to be completed in 2023.
Glioblastoma
In December 2021, the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research ("GCAR") selected troriluzole for evaluation in Glioblastoma Adaptive Global Innovative Learning Environment - NCT03970447 ("GBM AGILE"). GBM AGILE is a revolutionary patient-centered, adaptive platform trial for registration that tests multiple
29

Form 10-Q Table of Contents
therapies for patients with newly-diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma ("GBM"), the most fatal form of brain cancer. Troriluzole will be evaluated in all patient subgroups of the trial which include newly-diagnosed methylated MGMT, newly-diagnosed unmethylated MGMT, and recurrent GBM. Troriluzole was selected for inclusion in GBM AGILE based on compelling evidence showing deregulation of glutamate in GBM. The therapeutic potential of troriluzole in GBM and other oncology indications is supported by several recent clinical and translational research studies conducted with troriluzole and its active moiety.

In July 2022, the Company and GCAR announced that enrollment has commenced in GBM AGILE for the evaluation of troriluzole.
Lanicemine (BHV-5500) and BHV-5000
We are developing BHV-5500 (lanicemine)lanicemine (BHV-5500), a low-trapping NMDA receptor antagonist.antagonist, and BHV-5000, a prodrug of lanicemine. One potential target indication is neuropathic pain, potentially including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (“CRPS”). CRPS is a rare, chronic pain condition typically affecting limbs and triggered by traumatic injury. Accompanying symptoms also include chronic inflammation and reduced mobility in the affected areas. Other disorders of interestpotential indications include post-herpetic neuralgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy.neuropsychiatric diseases, potentially in combination with other agents, including Kv7 activators. We acquired worldwide rights to BHV-5500lanicemine and its oral prodrug BHV-5000 under an exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca AB in October 2016. Current work is focused on formulation development.
Myostatin Platform
Taldefgrobep Alfa (BHV-2000)
In February 2022, we announced that we entered into a worldwide license agreement with BMS for the development and commercialization rights to taldefgrobep alfa (also known as BMS-986089 and now referred to as BHV-2000), a novel, Phase 3-ready anti-myostatin adnectin. Myostatin is a natural protein that limits skeletal muscle growth, an important process in healthy muscular development. However, in patients with neuromuscular diseases, active myostatin can critically limit the growth needed to achieve developmental and functional milestones. Myostatin inhibition is a promising therapeutic strategy for enhancing muscle mass and strength in a range of pediatric and adult neuromuscular conditions. Taldefgrobep is a muscle-targeted treatment for neuromuscular disease and offers the opportunity for combination therapy.
In July 2022, we commenced enrollment in a Phase 3 clinical trial of BHV-2000 assessing the efficacy and safety of taldefgrobep alfa in Spinal Muscular Atrophy ("SMA"). SMA is a rare, progressively debilitating motor neuron disease in which development and growth of muscle mass are compromised, resulting in progressive weakness and muscle atrophy, reduced
motor function, impaired quality of life and often death. The Phase 3 placebo-controlled, double-blind trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of taldefgrobep as an adjunctive therapy for participants who are already taking a stable dose of nusinersen or risdiplam or have a history of treatment with onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi, compared to placebo. The study is not restricted nor limited to patients based on ambulatory status or classification of SMA. We expect to enroll approximately 180 patients in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled global trial.
In February 2023, we received Fast Track designation from the FDA for taldefgrobep alfa for the treatment of SMA. In December 2022, we received orphan drug designation from the FDA for taldefgrobep in the treatment of SMA.
CD-38
BHV-1100
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we initiated a Phase 1a/1b trial in multiple myeloma patients using its antibody recruiting molecule BHV-1100 in combination with autologous cytokine induced memory-like natural killer cells and immune globulin to target and kill multiple myeloma cells expressing the cell surface protein CD38. BHV-1100 is the lead clinical asset from Biohaven’s Antibody Recruiting Molecule ("ARM™") Platform developed from a strategic alliance with PeptiDream Inc. ("PeptiDream") (TYO: 4587). This open-label single center Phase 1a/1b study will assess the safety and tolerability as well as exploratory efficacy endpoints in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients who have tested positive for minimal residual disease (“MRD+”) in first or second remission prior to autologous stem cell transplant (“ASCT”). We plan to enroll 30 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. The primary outcome measures are dose limiting toxicities following combination product administration (time frame: 100 days post-combination product administration) and incidence and severity of side effects related to the combination product (time frame: 90 to 100 days post-combination product administration).
MPO Platform
Verdiperstat
We are developing verdiperstat (previously BHV-3241), an oral myeloperoxidase inhibitor for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. One potential target indication is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ("ALS"). In September 2019, we announced that verdiperstat was selected to be studied in the Phase 3 HEALEY ALS Platform Trial, which is being conducted by the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital in collaboration with the Northeast ALS Consortium clinical trial network. Promising investigational drugs were chosen for the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial through a competitive process, with the Healey Center providing partial financial support to successful applicants. The Phase 3 HEALEY ALS Platform Trial of verdiperstat began enrollment in July 2020. Enrollment in the trial was completed in November 2021.
In September 2022, the Company announced that verdiperstat did not statistically differentiate from placebo on the prespecified primary efficacy outcome, disease progression measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised and survival, nor the key secondary efficacy measures during the 24-week study period. Initial analysis of safety data was consistent with the overall profile of verdiperstat from prior clinical trial experience. Additional analyses are ongoing, and complete study results will be presented at an upcoming scientific meeting. At this time, we do not have plans to pursue any additional clinical trials evaluating
28

verdiperstat in ALS and we are evaluating its potential in other disease indications.
Verdiperstat was progressed through Phase 2 clinical trials by AstraZeneca. Seven clinical studies have been completed by AstraZeneca, including four Phase 1 studies in healthy subjects, two Phase 2a studies in subjects with Parkinson’s disease, and one Phase 2b study in subjects with MSA. We have entered into an exclusive license agreement with AstraZeneca for the product candidate.
Early Discovery ProgramsResearch
Kleo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Biohaven Labs
In January 2021, we acquired the remaining approximately 58% of Kleo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Kleo") that we did not previously own. We have assumed Kleo's laboratory facilities located in Science Park in New Haven, Connecticut. We are continuing several existing Kleo discovery partnerships, including one with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for the development of a Hyperimmune Globulin Mimic for COVID-19 and one with PeptiDream for the development of immuno-oncology therapeutics (See Note 4).therapeutics.
Biohaven's proprietary Multimodal Antibody Therapy Enhancer ("MATE") conjugation technology uses a new class

TDP-43
Agreement with Fox Chase Chemical Diversity Center, Inc.
In May 2019, we entered into an agreement with Fox Chase Chemical Diversity Center Inc. (“FCCDC”) for FCCDC’s TDP-43 assets (the “FCCDC Agreement”). The FCCDC Agreement provides us with a plan and goal to
identify one or more new chemical entity candidates for preclinical development for eventual clinical evaluation for the treatment of one or more TDP-43 proteinopathies. In connection with the FCCDC Agreement, Biohaven and FCCDC have established a TDP-43 Research Plan that provides for certain milestones to be achieved by FCCDC, and milestone payments to be made by us.
UC1MT
Agreement with University of Connecticut
In October 2018, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide option and license agreement (the "UConn Agreement") with the University of Connecticut ("UConn") for the development and commercialization rights to UC1MT, a therapeutic antibody targeting extracellular metallothionein. Under this agreement, we had the option to acquire an exclusive, worldwide license to UC1MT and its underlying patents to develop and commercialize throughout the world in all human indications (the "UConn Option"). In September 2022, the Company exercised the UConn Option in exchange for a payment of $0.4 million. Under the agreement, UConn will be entitled to milestone payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and commercial milestones, and royalties of a low single-digit percentage of net sales of licensed products.
Artizan Biosciences, Inc.
In December 2020, we entered into an Option and License Agreement (the "2020 Artizan Agreement") with Artizan Biosciences Inc. ("Artizan"), a biotechnology company focused on addressing inflammatory diseases involving the human intestinal microbiota. Pursuant to the 2020 Artizan Agreement, we acquired an option to obtain a royalty-based license from Artizan to manufacture, use and commercialize certain products. Artizan will use the proceeds to continue advancing the preclinical research and development of its lead program for inflammatory bowel disease which is anticipated to enter the clinic in early 2023, as well as to explore additional disease targets. In November 2021, we announced a collaborative therapeutic discovery and development program in Parkinson’s disease ("PD"), to exploit recent scientific advances in the understanding of pathogenic roles played by the gut microbiome in PD. In June 2022, we and Artizan executed a non-binding indication of interest which describesdescribed terms under which we and Artizan would amend the 2020 Artizan Agreement to eliminate certain milestone payments required by us in exchange for limiting our option to the selection of the first licensed product. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Artizan was unable to secure additional financing to support it's ongoing operations, and, as a result, began reviewing strategic options for the sale of its assets, and secured a small bridge financing to fund operations during the
strategic review. In January 2023, Artizan severed substantially all of its employees and halted the Parkinson's Disease ("PD") program. Although Artizan anticipates bringing the inflammatory bowel disease program to the clinic in 2023, its ability to do so will be dependent on its access to adequate funding.
As of December 31, 2022, due to concerns related to Artizan's inability to fund its future operations, we determined its investment in Artizan to be fully impaired.
Reliant Glycosciences, LLC
In July 2021, we entered into a development and license agreement with Reliant Glycosciences, LLC ("Reliant") for collaboration on a program with Biohaven Labs’ multifunctional molecules to develop and commercialize conjugated antibodies for therapeutic
29

uses relating to IgA nephropathy and treatment of other diseases and conditions. Under the Agreement, Reliant was entitled to an upfront share payment and will be eligible to receive development milestone payments and royalties of net sales of licensed products.
TRPM3 Antagonists
In January 2022, we entered into an Exclusive License and Research Collaboration Agreement with Katholieke Universiteit Leuven ("KU Leuven") to develop and commercialize TRPM3 antagonists to address the growing proportion of people worldwide living with chronic pain disorders (the "KU Leuven Agreement"). The TRPM3 antagonist platform was discovered at the Centre for Drug Design and Discovery and the Laboratory of Ion Channel Research at KU Leuven. Under the KU Leuven Agreement,we receive exclusive global rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize KU Leuven's portfolio of small-molecule TRPM3 antagonists. The portfolio includes the lead candidate, henceforth known as BHV-2100, which is being evaluated in preclinical pain models and will be the first to advance towards Phase 1 studies. We expect to submit an IND application for BHV-2100 with the FDA in the second half of 2023. We will support further basic and translational research at KU Leuven on the role of TRPM3 in pain and other disorders. The Company is evaluating and has not yet finalized potential clinical trial designs, including size and primary and secondary endpoints.
MoDE Platform
In January 2021, we entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Yale University for the development and commercialization of a novel Molecular Degrader of Extracellular Protein ("MoDE") platform (the "Yale MoDE Agreement"). Under the license agreement, we acquired exclusive, worldwide rights to Yale University's intellectual property directed to its MoDE platform. The platform pertains to the clearance of disease-causing protein and other biomolecules by targeting them for lysosomal degradation using multi-functional molecules.
31

In October 2022, we announced advancements in the development of our MoDE extracellular target degrader platform technology licensed from Yale University for various disease indications, including, but not limited to, neurological disorders, cancer, infectious and autoimmune diseases. Biohaven made further innovations in this ground-breaking technology with new patent applications covering additional targets and functionality.
The Company evaluated the effect of a single dose of immunoglobulin gamma ("IgG") degrader, BHV-1300, in cynomolgus monkeys. The Company reported 75% reduction of IgG levels from baseline and noted the observation occurred in three days; the data in this pre-clinical study compares favorably to standard of care therapy efgartigimod, where reduction of IgG levels with efgartigimod was observed to be 50% and had taken 5-7 days. The Company expects to submit an IND application for BHV-1300 with the FDA in the second half of 2023.
The Company presented preclinical data with a second MoDE targeting galactose deficient IgA ("Gd-IgA"), which is believed to play a pathogenic role in IgA Nephropathy. Specific removal of pathogenic Gd-IgA with preservation of normal IgA potentially permits disease remission without incurring an infection risk. The Company shared preliminary data demonstrating the chimeric antibody-ASGPR ligand conjugate specifically mediated endocytosis of Gd-IgA, as opposed to normal IgA, in an endocytosis assay with HepG2 cells.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
To date, the we have not generated any revenue from product sales and we do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. If our development efforts for our product candidates are successful and result in regulatory approval or additional license agreements with third parties, then
we may generate revenue in the future from product sales.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development ("R&D") expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates. We expense research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include:
expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations (“CROs”)CROs or contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), as well as investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other scientific development services;
manufacturing scale-up expenses and the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical trial materials and commercial materials, including manufacturing validation batches;
employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash share-based compensation expense for employees engaged in research and development functions;
costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements;
development milestone payments incurred prior to regulatory approval of the product candidate;
rent and operating expenses incurred for leased lab facilities and equipment; and
��payments made in cash, equity securities or other forms of consideration under third-party licensing or other agreements prior to regulatory approval of the product candidate.
We recognize external development costs based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using estimates of our clinical personnel or information provided to us by our service providers.
Our external direct research and development expenses are tracked on a program-by-program basis for our product candidates and consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to outside consultants, CROs, CMOs, and central laboratories in connection with our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. Our direct research and development expenses by program also include fees and certain development milestones incurred under license agreements. We do not allocate employee costs, or other indirect costs, to specific programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified. We use internal resources primarily to oversee the research and development as well as for managing our preclinical development, process development, manufacturing and clinical development activities. Many employees work across multiple
30

programs, and we do not track personnel costs by program.
Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. As a result, weWe expect that our research and development expenses will remain significant over the next several years as we increase personnel costs, conduct late-stage clinical trials, and prepare regulatory filings for our product candidates. We also expect to incur additional expenses related to milestone and royalty payments payable to third parties with whom we have entered into license agreements to acquire the rights to our product candidates.
The successful development and commercialization of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the preclinical and clinical
32

development of any of our product candidates or when, if ever, material net cash inflows may commence from any of our product candidates. This uncertainty is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, including the uncertainty of:
the scope, progress, outcome and costs of our preclinical development activities, clinical trials and other research and development activities;
establishment of an appropriate safety profile with IND-enabling studies;
successful patient enrollment in, and the initiation and completion of, clinical trials;
the timing, receipt and terms of any marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
establishment of commercial manufacturing capabilities or making arrangements with third-party manufacturers;
development and timely delivery of commercial-grade drug formulations that can be used in our clinical trials and for commercial launch;
acquisition, maintenance, defense and enforcement of patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
significant and changing government regulation;
initiation of commercial sales of our product candidates, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; and
maintenance of a continued acceptable safety profile of the product candidates following approval.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and travel expenses for our executive, finance, business, corporate development and other administrative functions; and non-cash share-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses also include facilities and other related expenses, including rent, depreciation, maintenance of facilities, insurance and supplies; and for public relations, audit, tax and legal services, including legal expenses to pursue patent protection of our intellectual property.
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses, including payroll and related expenses, will remain significant in the future as we continue to support our research and development activities and prepare for potential commercialization of our product candidates, if successfully developed and approved. We also anticipate increased expenses associated with general operations, including costs related to accounting and legal services, director and officer insurance premiums, facilities and other corporate infrastructure, office-related costs, such as information
technology costs, and certain costs to establish ourself as a standalone public company, as well as ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company.
Other Income (Expense)
Gain (Loss) from Equity Method Investment
Prior to our acquisition of Kleo in January 2021, we owned approximately 41.9% of the outstanding shares as of December 31, 2020, and accounted for our investment in Kleo under the equity method of accounting. As a result, our proportionate share of Kleo’s net income or loss each reporting period was included in other income (expense), net, in our condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss and results in a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the equity method investment on our condensed combined balance sheet.
On January 4, 2021, we acquired the rest of the shares of Kleo, and post-transaction we own 100% of the outstanding shares of Kleo.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net primarily consists of a gain recognized uponnet investment income and service revenue from the Company’s determination thatTransition Service Agreement we entered into with the valueFormer Parent. Net investment income is comprised of interest income and net accretion and amortization on investments. Refer Note 13, "Related Party Transactions," for further discussion of agreements entered into with the contingent value right related to our Kleo acquisition was immaterial as of December 31, 2021. The consideration transferred for the Kleo acquisition included contingent consideration in the form of a contingent value right to receive one dollar in cash for each Kleo share if certain specified Kleo biopharmaceutical products or product candidates receive the approval of the FDA prior to the expiration of 30 months following the effective time of the transaction. The maximum amount payable pursuant to
31

the contingent value right was approximately $17.3 million. At December 31, 2021, the Company determined the value of the contingent value right to be immaterial and recognized a gain of $1.5 million related to the contingent value right in other income, net.Former Parent.
Provision for Income Taxes
The income tax amountsexpense in the condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements have beenwas calculated on a separate return method and are presented as if the Company’s operations were separate taxpayers in the respective jurisdiction. Therefore, tax expense, cashjurisdictions up to and including the Separation. Cash tax payments, and items of currentincome taxes receivable and deferred taxes, may not benet of valuation allowance, are reflective of our actual tax balances prior to orand subsequent to the Distribution.Separation.
As a company incorporated in the BVI, we are principally subject to taxation in the BVI. Under the current laws of the BVI, the Company and all dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensation and other amounts paid by the Company to persons who are not resident in the BVI and any capital gains realized with respect to any shares, debt obligations, or other securities of the Company by persons who are not resident in the BVI are exempt from all provisions of the Income Tax Ordinance in the BVI.
We have historically outsourced all of the research and clinical development for its programs under a master services agreement with Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BPI"). As a result of providing services under this agreement, BPI was profitable
during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, and BPI is subject to taxation in the United States. As such, in each reporting period, the tax provision includes the effects of combining the results of operations of BPI.
At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, which are comprised primarily of capitalized research and development deductions, research and development tax credit carryforwards, and future stock based compensation deductionsnet operating loss carryforwards, based on management’s assessment that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We recorded an income tax provision during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 of $1.2$0.9 million and $14.6 million, respectively and a benefitprovision of $1.1 million and $1.1$7.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively,March 31, 2022, which primarily represents U.S. Federal tax
33

and state taxes related to BPI’s profitable operations in the United States.
In January 2021, we completed the acquisition of Kleo. We recorded a full valuation allowance against our Kleo deferred tax assets and periodically review our position. Due to Kleo's cumulative loss history, we determined that a full valuation allowance on these assets was appropriate. We will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.

R&D expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $300.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $139.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $160.4 million was primarily due to an increase of $123.8 million in expense for BHV-7000 and an increase of $28.5 million in personnel costs related to increases in headcount. The $123.8 millionan increase in expenseheadcount for BHV-7000 was primarily due to the Kv7 Platform Acquisition, which resulted in $93.7 million of expense recorded to R&D during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and a $25.0 million milestone expense recognized during the second quarter of 2022 which became payable in June 2022. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in program expense for verdiperstat of $14.6 million. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $$47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $14.9 million as compared to the same period in 2021.

General and administrative expenses were $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to accounting, legal and other professional fees associated with$19.7 million for the Pfizer acquisitionthree months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease of $5.4 million was primarily due to decreased non-cash share-based compensation costs. This was partially offset by increased personnel costs in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to a majority of the personnel costs in the first quarter of 2022 being allocated to the Former Parent and spin-off of Biohaven Ltd. as an independent, publicly traded company.Parent.

The decrease in non-cash share-based compensation expense is due to the first quarter of 2022 expense being allocated from the Former Parent equity plan based on equity awards with higher grant date fair values.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception as a business of the Former Parent, we have not generated any revenue and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. We will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses for at least the next several years as we advance our product candidates from discovery through preclinical
development and clinical trials and seek regulatory approval and pursue commercialization of any approved product candidate. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. In addition, we may incur expenses in
connection with the in-license or acquisition of additional product candidates.candidates
Historically, for periods prior to the Separation, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds allocated to our business from financing arrangements entered into by the Former Parent and through the one-time issuance of contingently redeemable non-controlling interests. Prior to

We have incurred recurring losses since its inception and expect to continue to generate operating losses for the period presented.foreseeable future.
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.7$125.0 million, excluding marketable securities of $263.0 million and restricted cash of $0.8$65.6 million, relatingof which $61.5 million related to restricted cash held on behalf of Former Parent and $4.0 million related to collateral held by a bankbanks for a letterletters of credit (“LOC”) issued in connection with leased office space in Yardley, Pennsylvania.Pennsylvania and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in marketable securities and money market funds with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. We continuously assess our working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, and future investments or acquisitions.
On October 25, 2022, the Company completed a public offering of 28,750,000 of its common shares, including the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $10.50 per share, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC (the "S-1") that was declared effective by the SEC on October 20, 2022. The net proceeds raised in the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses of the offering payable by Biohaven, were approximately $282.8 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the offering for general corporate purposes.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $40.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and was primarily due to our acquisition of Channel Biosciences LLC for $93.7 million of which $35.0 million was paid in cash and classified as a payment for IPR&D asset acquisition under investing activities and $58.7 million was paid in common shares of the Former Parent.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2023 and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $0.8 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2023 was due to $1.9 millionprimarily driven by:

(see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements); and
a decrease in proceeds from net transfers from Parent due to the Company operating as a standalone entity during the first quarter of 2023.
Funding Requirements
We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance and expand preclinical activities, clinical trials and potential commercialization of our product candidates. Our costs will also increase as we:
continue to advance and expand the development of our discovery programs and clinical-stage neurology assets, including the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial for BHV-7000 for the treatment of focal epilepsy and a Phase 3 clinical trial for taldefgrobep alfa for the treatment of SMA;
continue the development of our glutamate modulation product candidate;assets;
continue to initiate and progress other supporting studies required for regulatory approval of our product candidates, including long-term safety studies, drug-drug interaction studies, preclinical toxicology and carcinogenicity studies;
initiate preclinical studies and clinical trials for any additional indications for our current product candidates and any future product candidates that we may pursue;
continue to build our portfolio of product candidates through the acquisition or in-license of additional product candidates or technologies;
continue to develop, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
pursue regulatory approvals for our current and future product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;
the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on, our current or future product candidates, if any;
support our sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any future product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval;
hire additional clinical, medical, commercial, and development personnel; and
incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.company; and
other capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and other general corporate activities.
We expect that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, will be sufficient to fund our current forecast for operating expenses, financial commitments and other cash requirements for more than one year. We expect we will need to raise additional capital until we are profitable. If no additional capital is raised through either public or private equity financings, debt financings, strategic relationships, alliances and licensing agreements, or a combination thereof, we may delay, limit or reduce discretionary spending in areas related to research and development activities and other
36

general and administrative expenses in order to fund our operating costs and working capital needs.
We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We expect that we will require additional capital to pursue in-licenses or acquisitions of other product candidates. If we receive regulatory approval for troriluzole, or our other product candidates, we expect to incur commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, depending on where we choose to commercialize or whether we commercialize jointly or on our own.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and
36

commercialization of pharmaceutical product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of many factors, including:
the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;
the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;
the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations and funding needs;
the costs and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;
the costs of preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims; and
the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies
Until such time, if ever, that we can generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public and private equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements or marketing and distribution arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through other third-party funding, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements or
marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we will be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market products or product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Except as discussed in Note 7,11, "Commitments and Contingencies" to our Condensed CombinedConsolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, “Unaudited Condensed CombinedConsolidated Financial Statements,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and
commitments as included in our audited combinedconsolidated financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1 to the 2022 Form 10.10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We have prepared our condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Our preparation of our condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies as reported in our annual combinedconsolidated financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1 to the 2022 Form 10.10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations, if applicable, is disclosed in Note 2 to our condensed combinedconsolidated financial statements appearing at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act (the "JOBS Act"), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These exemptions generally include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
We plan to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to us as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, except that we have irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting
37

standards available under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act.
We will, in general, remain as an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years following the Distribution. We would cease to be an emerging growth company and, therefore, become ineligible to rely on the above exemptions, if we:
have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year;
issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period; or
become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, which would occur after: (i) we have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act; (ii) we have been an SEC-reporting company for at least twelve months; and (iii) the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Smaller Reporting Company Status
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As such, we are eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies, including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
We will remain a smaller reporting company as long as either:
(i) the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or
(ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Foreign Currency Translation
Our operations include activities in countries outside the U.S. As a result, our financial results are impacted by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets where we operate. Our monetary exposures on our balance sheet are currently immaterial to our financial position.position as of March 31, 2023.
We do not engage in any hedging activities against changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
MarketInterest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we participatedinvest our excess cash balances in marketable securities of highly rated financial institutions and investment-grade debt instruments. We seek to diversify our investments and limit the amount of investment concentrations for individual institutions, maturities and investment types. Most of our interest-bearing securities are subject to interest rate risk and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Based on the type of securities we hold, we do not believe a change in interest rates would have a material impact on our financial statements. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1.00%, the fair value of our investment portfolio would (decrease) increase by approximately $(0.9) million and $0.9 million, respectively.
We do not engage in any hedging activities against changes in interest rates.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term debt securities. The Company maintains a portion of its cash deposits in government insured institutions in excess of government insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions that it believes have high credit quality and has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The Company's cash management policy permits investments in U.S. federal government and federal agency securities, corporate bonds or commercial paper, supranational and sovereign obligations, certain qualifying money market mutual funds, certain repurchase agreements, and places restrictions on credit ratings, maturities, and concentration by type and issuer. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the Former Parent’s centralized treasury management, including centralizedevent of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash in excess of government insured limits and securities management,in the event of default by corporations and as a result, we did not reportgovernments in which it holds investments in cash equivalents and short-term debt securities, to the extent recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
We have not experienced any credit losses or marketable securities on our condensed combined balance sheets. As such, our exposure to market riskrecorded any allowance for credit losses related to changing interest rates was minimal.our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term debt securities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
38

summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
38

disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls 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) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
