Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows, respectively, for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote information normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novavax, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Novavax AB and Praha Vaccines a.s. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of Novavax AB, which is located in Sweden, is the local currency (Swedish Krona), and the functional currency of Praha Vaccines a.s., which is located in the Czech Republic, is the local currency (Czech Koruna). The translation of assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries to U.S. dollars is made at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, while equity accounts are translated at historical rates. The translation of the statement of operations data is made at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The translation of operating cash flow data is made at the average exchange rate in effect for the period, and investing and financing cash flow data is translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the underlying transaction. Translation gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The foreign currency translation adjustment balance included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $13.2 million and $12.5 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Results for this or any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The Company operates in one business segment. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following at (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Cash $ 124,783 $ 15,863 Money market funds 225,373 42,960 Asset-backed securities 24,250 20,000 Treasury bills 49,989 — Cash and cash equivalents $ 424,395 $ 78,823 Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of debt securities with maturities greater than three months from the date of purchase that include commercial paper, asset-backed securities, treasury bills and corporate notes. Classification of marketable securities between current and non-current is dependent upon the maturity date at the balance sheet date taking into consideration the Company's ability and intent to hold the investment to maturity. Interest and dividend income are recorded when earned and included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. Premiums and discounts, if any, on marketable securities are amortized or accreted to maturity and included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. The specific identification method is used in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of the Company's securities. The Company classifies its marketable securities with readily determinable fair values as “available-for-sale.” Investments in securities that are classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair market value in the consolidated balance sheets, and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' deficit until realized. Marketable securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in value is “other-than-temporary.” The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the security. Management reviews criteria, such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, as well as the Company's ability to hold the securities, including whether the Company will be required to sell a security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the investment issuer's financial condition and business outlook to predict whether the loss in value is other-than-temporary. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and the impairment is recorded as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Restricted Cash The Company’s current and non-current restricted cash includes payments received under the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) funding agreements (see Note 11), payments received under the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMGF”) grant agreement (see Note 11), escrow funds paid in connection with the acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. (see Note 5) and funds received in connection with a transaction in 2019 with Catalent Maryland, Inc. (formerly Paragon Bioservices, Inc.), a unit of Catalent Biologics (“Catalent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Catalent certain assets related to its biomanufacturing and development activities and cash collateral accounts under letters of credit that serve as security deposits for certain facility leases. The Company will utilize the CEPI and BMGF funds as it incurs expenses for services performed under these agreements. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the restricted cash balances (both current and non-current) consisted of $1.4 million of payments received from BMGF, $1.5 million held in escrow received in connection with the Catalent transaction and $0.4 million of security deposits. At June 30, 2020, the restricted cash balance also included $92.6 million of payments under the CEPI funding agreements and $11.2 million held in escrow that was paid by the Company in connection with the Praha Vaccines a.s. acquisition. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 424,395 $ 78,823 Restricted cash current 106,768 2,947 Restricted cash non-current 411 410 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 531,574 $ 82,180 Acquisitions The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting to business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the operating results of an acquired entity from the date on which it obtains control of the business acquired. The Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the acquisition date, based on their estimated fair value with the excess purchase consideration, if any, recognized as goodwill. In determining fair value, the Company uses various recognized valuation methods, including the cost and market approaches. The Company initially performs these valuations based on preliminary estimates and assumptions by management or independent valuation specialists under Company supervision, where appropriate, and makes revisions as estimates and assumptions are finalized. The final determination of fair values must be completed no later than the first anniversary of the date of acquisition. The Company expenses acquisition related costs as incurred. See Note 5 for further discussion around the Company’s recent acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. Revenue Recognition The Company performs research and development under grant, license and clinical development agreements. Payments received in advance of work performed are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company entered into funding agreements with CEPI that provide total funding of up to $388.4 million (see Note 11). The funding includes approximately $245.9 million in the form of a grant (“CEPI Grant Funding”) and up to $142.5 million in the form of one or more forgivable no interest term loans (“CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding”). Under the CEPI Grant Funding, the Company is entitled to reimbursement for costs that support development activities of NVX-CoV2373. The CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding is designated for the prepayment of certain manufacturing activities. The funding from CEPI is critical to enable ongoing development of NVX-CoV2373, and to enable the Company to obtain product licensing to produce the vaccine for use in clinical trials and commercial distribution, if approved. The CEPI funding agreements do not provide a direct economic benefit to CEPI. Rather, the Company entered into an agreement with CEPI to attempt to develop a COVID-19 vaccine under which CEPI only benefits to the extent the arrangement furthers its public health mission. Based on these circumstances, the Company does not consider CEPI to be a customer and concluded the funding agreements are outside the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Not-for-Profit Entities – Revenue Recognition The CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding provides the Company access to up to $142.5 million in funds to be used in connection with the potential commercial manufacture of NVX-CoV2373. As of June 30, 2020, the Company received $76.0 million of such funding. Under the funding agreements, the Company is only required to repay the CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding if the proceeds of sales to one or more third parties of NVX-CoV2373 cover the Company’s costs of manufacturing such vaccine, not including manufacturing costs funded by CEPI. As the financial risk remains with CEPI, the Company has determined that the use of the CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding is outside the scope of ASC 470, Debt. Research and Development The Company has determined that payments received under these agreements should be recorded as revenue rather than a reduction to research and development expenses. In reaching this determination that such payments should be recorded as revenue, management considered a number of factors, including whether the Company is principal under the arrangement, and whether the arrangement is significant to, and part of, the Company’s core operations. Further, management has consistently applied its policy of presenting such amounts as revenue. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) totaling 7,797,651 and 2,935,847, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2020, the Company had 438,885 shares outstanding of its newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock , which are convertible into 4,388,850 shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s Notes (see Note 7) would have been convertible into approximately 2,385,800 shares of the Company’s common stock assuming a common stock price of $136.20 or higher. These and any shares due to the Company upon settlement of its capped call transactions are excluded from the computation, as their effect is antidilutive.

Acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. | |
Acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. | Note 5 – Acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. On May 27, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Deed”) by and among Novavax AB, the Company’s wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary (the “Buyer”), and De Bilt Holdings B.V., Poonawalla Science Park B.V., and Bilthoven Biologicals B.V. (collectively, the “Sellers”) and, solely as guarantors, each of Serum International B.V. and the Company. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Deed, the Buyer acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Praha Vaccines a.s., a vaccine manufacturing company, organized and existing under the laws of the Czech Republic (“Praha Vaccines”), from the Sellers for approximately €151.7 million (approximately $167.3 million) in cash (the “Purchase Price”), subject to customary working capital adjustments (collectively, the “Acquisition”), which have not been finalized. The assets of Praha Vaccines acquired as part of the Acquisition include a biologics manufacturing facility and associated assets in Bohumil, Czech Republic and will be used by the Company to expand its manufacturing capacity. The Purchase Price includes €10.0 million (approximately $11.1 million), which has been placed in an escrow account until September 30, 2020, less any amounts to settle claims made by the Buyer against the Sellers under the Deed or other ancillary agreements. The Deed and ancillary agreements contain customary warranties and post-completion covenants, as well as indemnities by each of the parties thereto. Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price to Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The Company has accounted for the Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, with the Company as the acquirer. The acquisition method requires the Company to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company has commenced the appraisal process necessary to assess the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to determine the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the Acquisition Date. These appraisals are not yet complete and therefore, the amounts recorded for certain assets and liabilities are preliminary and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the measurement period of up to one year from the Acquisition Date. The final values may also result in changes to depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets such as buildings and equipment. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the preliminary values presented in the table below. The table below summarizes the preliminary allocation of the Purchase Price based upon the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date. The preliminary allocation is based upon information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared and is subject to change prior to completion of the measurement period (in thousands): Prepaid expense and other current assets $ 326 Property and equipment 96,739 Goodwill 70,468 Accounts payable (1,193) Accrued expenses (205) Other non-current liabilities (813) Purchase Price, net of cash acquired $ 165,322 The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using market and cost valuation methodologies. The fair value measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs that were developed by the Company using publicly available information, market participant assumptions, and cost and development assumptions. Because of the use of significant unobservable inputs, the fair value measurements represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures The cost approach was the primary approach used to value fixed assets, including the real property. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected remaining useful lives, ranging from 4 The Company recorded $70.5 million in goodwill related to the Acquisition representing the Purchase Price that was in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill generated from the Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is attributable to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce of Praha Vaccines. Current assets and current liabilities were recorded at their contractual or historical acquisition amounts, which approximate their fair value. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of significant professional judgment. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. Impact to Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 The results of operations from Praha Vaccines have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the Acquisition Date. As a result, the consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 do not reflect a full three months and six months of Praha Vaccines results, respectively. From the Acquisition Date through June 30, 2020, Praha Vaccines has not recognized any revenue and recorded a net income of $1.8 million from Praha Vaccines’ operations. The Company incurred approximately $1.9 million of costs related to the Acquisition in the three months ended June 30, 2020, which are included within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The unaudited pro forma financial information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2019. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated as of that time. The unaudited pro forma financial information combines the historical results of operations of the Company and Praha Vaccines for the periods presented below and reflects the application of certain pro forma adjustments (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Revenue $ 35,538 $ 3,357 $ 38,915 $ 7,339 Net loss (18,196) (42,119) (45,821) (87,367) Basic and diluted net loss per share (0.31) (0.97) (0.83) (2.08) Pro forma adjustments include the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Acquisition Date fair value and remaining useful lives of Praha Vaccines’ fixed assets (net of historical depreciation expense) and the elimination of costs related to the Acquisition, which are non-recurring in nature. |

Preferred Stock | Note 8 – Preferred Stock In June 2020, the Company entered into a redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement 438,885 shares of its newly designated redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $455.70 per share, for total gross proceeds of $200.0 million (the “Preferred Private Placement”). Under the terms of the Preferred Stock, any holder thereof has the right to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock at the original purchase price if the Company fails to meet certain SEC filing requirements and file and maintain for at least one year a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Preferred Stock. Because certain of these features are outside of the Company's control, the Company has classified the Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of common stock. The conversion price is equal to $45.57 and is subject to adjustment based on standard anti-dilution provisions. Holders of Preferred Stock are not entitled to cumulative dividends, are not entitled to vote on matters submitted to common stockholders and have a liquidation preference over common stockholders equal to the greater of the original purchase price, plus declared and unpaid Preferred Stock dividends, and the amount that would be payable in respect of common stock assuming the Preferred Stock converted immediately prior to the liquidation. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $24.1 million that was recorded within additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit as the Preferred Stock issuance is only contingently redeemable and convertible at any time at the option of the holder. |

The ESPP currently authorizes an aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock to be purchased. The ESPP allows employees to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at each purchase date through payroll deductions of up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation, at 85% of the lesser of the market price of the shares at the time of purchase or the market price on the beginning date of an option period (or, if later, the date during the option period when the employee was first eligible to participate). At June 30, 2020, there were 278,543 shares available for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP is considered compensatory for financial reporting purposes. As such, the fair value of ESPP shares was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Range of Black-Scholes fair value of ESPP shares granted $2.87-$21.80 $9.45-$34.78 $2.57-$35.00 $7.25-$34.78 Risk-free interest rate 1.5%-2.6% 1.3%-2.5% 1.5%-2.6% 1.2%-2.5% Dividend yield 0% 0% 0% 0% Volatility 66.6%-150.9% 59.7%-171.6% 66.6%-154.4% 52.2%-171.6% Expected term (in years) 0.5-2.0 0.5-2.0 0.5-2.0 0.5-2.0 Expected forfeiture rate 0% 0% 0% 0% Restricted Stock Units The following is a summary of restricted stock units activity for the six months ended June 30, 2020: Per Share Weighted- Average Number of Grant-Date Shares Fair Value Outstanding and Unvested at January 1, 2020 1,102,311 $ 5.95 Restricted stock units granted 457,204 $ 75.97 Restricted stock units vested (47,563) $ 18.61 Restricted stock units forfeited (29,425) $ 25.46 Outstanding and Unvested at June 30, 2020 1,482,527 $ 26.75 The Company recorded all stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Research and development $ 4,098 $ 2,444 $ 6,005 $ 5,624 General and administrative 3,834 2,176 5,892 4,555 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 7,932 $ 4,620 $ 11,897 $ 10,179 As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $344 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and the ESPP.

U.S. Government Agreements, Grants and Licenses | Note 11 – U.S. Government Agreements, Grants and Licenses Operation Warp Speed In July 2020, the Company entered into a Project Agreement (the “Project Agreement”) with Advanced Technology International, Inc. (“ATI”), the Consortium Management Firm acting on behalf of the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium in connection with Operation Warp Speed (“OWS”). OWS is a partnership among components of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Defense working to accelerate the development, manufacturing and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics. The Project Agreement relates to the Base Agreement the Company entered into with ATI in June 2020 (the “Base Agreement”, together with the Project Agreement, the “OWS Agreement”). Under the OWS Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive funding of up to $1.6 billion to support certain activities related to the development of NVX-CoV2373 and the manufacture and delivery of the vaccine candidate to the U.S. Government. Pursuant to the OWS Agreement, the Company is currently authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations of up to $800 million, and the parties have committed to negotiate a definitive agreement by December 2020 that provides for aggregate costs payable to the Company up to but not in excess of the approved budget of $1.6 billion. If the parties have not agreed on definitive pricing or other terms by December 2020, or any extension of such target date granted by the U.S. Government, the U.S. Government has the discretion to unilaterally determine a fair and reasonable price for completion of the definitive agreement. The OWS Agreement requires the Company to conduct certain clinical, regulatory and other activities, including a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of NVX-CoV2373, and to manufacture and deliver to the U.S. Government 100 million doses of the vaccine candidate. Funding under the OWS Agreement is payable to the Company for various development, clinical trial, manufacturing, regulatory and other activities. The OWS Agreement contains terms and conditions that are customary for U.S. Government agreements of this nature, including provisions giving the U.S. Government the right to terminate the Base Agreement and/or the Project Agreement based on a reasonable determination that the funded project will not produce beneficial results commensurate with the expenditure of resources and that termination would be in the U.S. Government’s interest. If the Project Agreement is terminated prior to completion, the Company is entitled to be paid for work performed and costs or obligations incurred prior to termination and consistent with the terms of the OWS Agreement. The performance period under the Project Agreement extends from July 2020 through December 2021, subject to early termination by the U.S. Government or extension by mutual agreement of the parties. U.S. Department of Defense In June 2020, the Company entered into a letter contract (the “DoD Contract”) with the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”) Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (“JPEO-CRBND-EB”), under which JPEO-CRBND-EB agreed to provide funding of up to $60.0 million to the Company to support the manufacture of NVX-CoV2373. Under the DoD Contract, the Company is currently authorized to make expenditures or incur obligations up to $22.0 million, and the Company and the DoD have committed to negotiate a definitive cost-reimbursement contract by December 2020 that provides for costs payable by the DoD not to exceed $60.0 million. If the Company and the DoD have not agreed on pricing or terms by December 2020, or any extension of such target date granted by the DoD, the DoD has the discretion to determine a reasonable price or fee for completion of the contract. Under the DoD Contract, the Company is expected to deliver 10 million doses of NVX-CoV2373 to the DoD in the fourth quarter of 2020. The 10 million doses of NVX-CoV2373 may be used in Phase 2/3 clinical trials or under an Emergency Use Authorization, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Pursuant to the DoD Contract, if NVX-CoV2373 is approved by the FDA, the DoD is entitled to most-favored customer status for a period of five years from the award of the DoD Contract, meaning that the Company cannot give any comparable commercial client in the United States more favorable pricing than the DoD under similar transactional circumstances. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue from the DoD Contract of $0.3 million. Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations In May 2020, the Company entered into a restated funding agreement (the “CEPI Funding Agreement”) with CEPI, under which CEPI agreed to provide funding of up to $384.5 million to the Company to support the development of NVX-CoV2373, in addition to the $3.9 million of funding CEPI provided to the Company pursuant to an initial funding agreement entered into between the Company and CEPI in March 2020. The CEPI Funding Agreement provides up to $245.9 million in Grant Funding and up to $142.5 million in Forgivable Loan Funding, which loans are in the form of one or more forgivable no interest term loans in order to prepay certain manufacturing activities and are not subject to restrictive or financial covenants. The Company is only required to repay any CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding under certain circumstances to the extent it sells doses of NVX-CoV2373, produced with the funds provided and included in such loan(s), to a third party. Under the terms of the CEPI Funding Agreement, among other things, the Company and CEPI agreed on the importance of global equitable access to any vaccines produced pursuant to the CEPI Funding Agreement. Any such vaccines, if approved, are expected to be procured and allocated through global mechanisms under discussion as part of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, an international initiative launched by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, CEPI and other global non-governmental organizations and governmental leaders in 2020. The scope and continuation of the CEPI Funding Agreement may be modified depending on ongoing developments of the COVID-19 outbreak and the success of NVX-CoV2373 relative to other third-party COVID-19 vaccine candidates or treatments. If the WHO, CEPI or a regulatory authority having jurisdiction over a clinical trial of NVX-CoV2373 determines that a third-party product candidate has substantially greater potential than a Company vaccine product, the Company must cease its clinical trial in the relevant region, and will be reimbursed for any costs incurred as a result thereof. In addition, CEPI has the right to unilaterally terminate the CEPI Funding Agreement if CEPI reasonably determines that (i) there are material safety, regulatory or ethical issues with the development of NVX-CoV2373, (ii) NVX-CoV2373 development should be limited in scope or terminated, (iii) the Company becomes unable to discharge its obligations under the agreement, (iv) the Company fails to meet certain milestones, or (v) the Company commits fraud or a financial irregularity. Payments received in advance that are related to future performance are deferred and recognized as revenue when the research and development activities are performed. Cash payments received under the funding agreements are restricted as to their use until expenditures contemplated in the funding agreements are incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue from the funding agreements of $34.2 million and $36.5 million, respectively. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation In support of the Company's development of ResVax TM five Payments received in advance that are related to future performance are deferred and recognized as revenue when the research and development activities are performed. Cash payments received under the BMGF Grant Agreement are restricted as to their use until expenditures contemplated in the BMGF Grant Agreement are incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue from the Grant of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and has recognized approximately $82 million in revenue since the inception of the agreement. Serum Institute of India Private Limited In July 2020, the Company entered into a supply and license agreement with Serum Institute of India Private Limited (“SIIPL”), under which it granted exclusive and non-exclusive licenses to SIIPL for the development, co-formulation, filling and finishing, registration and commercialization by SIIPL of NVX-CoV2373. SIIPL agreed to purchase the two vaccine components (the antigen drug substance and the Matrix-M adjuvant) from the Company and the parties will equally split the revenue from sale of such product by SIIPL in its licensed territory, net of agreed costs. The Company granted to SIIPL (i) an exclusive license in India during the agreement, and (ii) a non-exclusive license (a) during the “Pandemic Period” (as declared by the World Health Organization), in all countries other than specified countries designated by the World Bank as upper-middle or high-income countries, with respect to which the Company retains rights, and (b) after the Pandemic Period, in only those countries designated as low or middle-income by the World Bank. Following the Pandemic Period, the Company may notify SIIPL of any bona fide opportunities for the Company to license the product to a third party in such low and middle-income countries and SIIPL would have an opportunity to match or improve such third party terms, failing which, the Company would have the discretion to remove one or more non-exclusive countries from SIIPL’s license. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited In August 2020, the Company announced a partnership with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) for the exclusive development, manufacturing and commercialization of NVX-CoV2373 in Japan. Takeda will receive funding from the Government of Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to support the technology transfer, establishment of infrastructure and scale-up of manufacturing. The Company anticipates that Takeda has manufacturing capacity of over 250 million doses per year. The Company will be entitled to receive payments based on the achievement of certain development and commercial milestones, as well as a portion of proceeds from the sale of the vaccine. At June 30, 2020, the Company's current restricted cash and deferred revenue balances on the consolidated balance sheet include its estimate of costs to be reimbursed and revenue to be recognized, respectively, in the next twelve months under the CEPI Funding Agreement and BMGF Grant Agreement. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows, respectively, for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote information normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novavax, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Novavax AB and Praha Vaccines a.s. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of Novavax AB, which is located in Sweden, is the local currency (Swedish Krona), and the functional currency of Praha Vaccines a.s., which is located in the Czech Republic, is the local currency (Czech Koruna). The translation of assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries to U.S. dollars is made at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date, while equity accounts are translated at historical rates. The translation of the statement of operations data is made at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The translation of operating cash flow data is made at the average exchange rate in effect for the period, and investing and financing cash flow data is translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the underlying transaction. Translation gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The foreign currency translation adjustment balance included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $13.2 million and $12.5 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Results for this or any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The Company operates in one business segment. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following at (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Cash $ 124,783 $ 15,863 Money market funds 225,373 42,960 Asset-backed securities 24,250 20,000 Treasury bills 49,989 — Cash and cash equivalents $ 424,395 $ 78,823 Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of debt securities with maturities greater than three months from the date of purchase that include commercial paper, asset-backed securities, treasury bills and corporate notes. Classification of marketable securities between current and non-current is dependent upon the maturity date at the balance sheet date taking into consideration the Company's ability and intent to hold the investment to maturity. Interest and dividend income are recorded when earned and included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. Premiums and discounts, if any, on marketable securities are amortized or accreted to maturity and included in investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. The specific identification method is used in computing realized gains and losses on the sale of the Company's securities. The Company classifies its marketable securities with readily determinable fair values as “available-for-sale.” Investments in securities that are classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair market value in the consolidated balance sheets, and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' deficit until realized. Marketable securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in value is “other-than-temporary.” The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the security. Management reviews criteria, such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, as well as the Company's ability to hold the securities, including whether the Company will be required to sell a security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the investment issuer's financial condition and business outlook to predict whether the loss in value is other-than-temporary. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and the impairment is recorded as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company’s current and non-current restricted cash includes payments received under the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) funding agreements (see Note 11), payments received under the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“BMGF”) grant agreement (see Note 11), escrow funds paid in connection with the acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. (see Note 5) and funds received in connection with a transaction in 2019 with Catalent Maryland, Inc. (formerly Paragon Bioservices, Inc.), a unit of Catalent Biologics (“Catalent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Catalent certain assets related to its biomanufacturing and development activities and cash collateral accounts under letters of credit that serve as security deposits for certain facility leases. The Company will utilize the CEPI and BMGF funds as it incurs expenses for services performed under these agreements. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the restricted cash balances (both current and non-current) consisted of $1.4 million of payments received from BMGF, $1.5 million held in escrow received in connection with the Catalent transaction and $0.4 million of security deposits. At June 30, 2020, the restricted cash balance also included $92.6 million of payments under the CEPI funding agreements and $11.2 million held in escrow that was paid by the Company in connection with the Praha Vaccines a.s. acquisition. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 424,395 $ 78,823 Restricted cash current 106,768 2,947 Restricted cash non-current 411 410 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 531,574 $ 82,180 |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting to business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the operating results of an acquired entity from the date on which it obtains control of the business acquired. The Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the acquisition date, based on their estimated fair value with the excess purchase consideration, if any, recognized as goodwill. In determining fair value, the Company uses various recognized valuation methods, including the cost and market approaches. The Company initially performs these valuations based on preliminary estimates and assumptions by management or independent valuation specialists under Company supervision, where appropriate, and makes revisions as estimates and assumptions are finalized. The final determination of fair values must be completed no later than the first anniversary of the date of acquisition. The Company expenses acquisition related costs as incurred. See Note 5 for further discussion around the Company’s recent acquisition of Praha Vaccines a.s. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company performs research and development under grant, license and clinical development agreements. Payments received in advance of work performed are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company entered into funding agreements with CEPI that provide total funding of up to $388.4 million (see Note 11). The funding includes approximately $245.9 million in the form of a grant (“CEPI Grant Funding”) and up to $142.5 million in the form of one or more forgivable no interest term loans (“CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding”). Under the CEPI Grant Funding, the Company is entitled to reimbursement for costs that support development activities of NVX-CoV2373. The CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding is designated for the prepayment of certain manufacturing activities. The funding from CEPI is critical to enable ongoing development of NVX-CoV2373, and to enable the Company to obtain product licensing to produce the vaccine for use in clinical trials and commercial distribution, if approved. The CEPI funding agreements do not provide a direct economic benefit to CEPI. Rather, the Company entered into an agreement with CEPI to attempt to develop a COVID-19 vaccine under which CEPI only benefits to the extent the arrangement furthers its public health mission. Based on these circumstances, the Company does not consider CEPI to be a customer and concluded the funding agreements are outside the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Not-for-Profit Entities – Revenue Recognition The CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding provides the Company access to up to $142.5 million in funds to be used in connection with the potential commercial manufacture of NVX-CoV2373. As of June 30, 2020, the Company received $76.0 million of such funding. Under the funding agreements, the Company is only required to repay the CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding if the proceeds of sales to one or more third parties of NVX-CoV2373 cover the Company’s costs of manufacturing such vaccine, not including manufacturing costs funded by CEPI. As the financial risk remains with CEPI, the Company has determined that the use of the CEPI Forgivable Loan Funding is outside the scope of ASC 470, Debt. Research and Development The Company has determined that payments received under these agreements should be recorded as revenue rather than a reduction to research and development expenses. In reaching this determination that such payments should be recorded as revenue, management considered a number of factors, including whether the Company is principal under the arrangement, and whether the arrangement is significant to, and part of, the Company’s core operations. Further, management has consistently applied its policy of presenting such amounts as revenue. |
Net Loss per Share | Net Loss per Share Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) totaling 7,797,651 and 2,935,847, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2020, the Company had 438,885 shares outstanding of its newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock , which are convertible into 4,388,850 shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s Notes (see Note 7) would have been convertible into approximately 2,385,800 shares of the Company’s common stock assuming a common stock price of $136.20 or higher. These and any shares due to the Company upon settlement of its capped call transactions are excluded from the computation, as their effect is antidilutive. |
