Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, EBPI Merger Inc., EB Pharma LLC, Eiger BioPharmaceuticals Europe Limited, and EigerBio Europe Limited, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for annual reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company’s cash is held by financial institutions in the United States and Ireland. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions are financially sound, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to the financial institutions. The Company relies on one supply chain for each of its product candidates. If any of the single source suppliers in any of the supply chains fail to satisfy the Company’s requirements on a timely basis, it could suffer delays in its clinical development programs and activities which could adversely affect its operating results. Two customers accounted for approximately 63 percent and 37 percent of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023. Two customers accounted for approximately 58 percent and 42 percent of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022. Two customers accounted for approximately 78 percent and 22 percent of product revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Two customers accounted for approximately 77 percent and 23 percent of product revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023. One customer accounted for approximately 99 percent and 100 percent of product revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Three vendors accounted for approximately 43 percent, 12 percent and 11 percent of the Company's accounts payable as of June 30, 2023. Two vendors accounted for approximately 12 percent and 11 percent of the Company's accounts payable as of December 31, 2022. Foreign Currency Exchange Foreign Currency Transaction Risk The foreign currency transaction risk relates to changes in exchange rates on monetary assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses held at Eiger BioPharmaceuticals Europe Limited . Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions result primarily from monetary assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in Euro. Aggregated transaction gains for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $26,000 and the aggregated transaction loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $29,000. The Company expects the foreign currency gain/loss to continue to fluctuate as long as the Company continue to hold monetary assets and liabilities at its subsidiaries in Ireland and England and Wales. Market uncertainty could potentially lead to significant volatility with foreign currency exchange rates, which could result in additional foreign currency gain/loss. Foreign Currency Translation Risk The foreign currency translation risk relates to the translation of the foreign consolidated subsidiaries' assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses from the subsidiaries’ functional currency to the U.S. dollar at each reporting date. Fluctuations in exchange rates may impact the amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using a current exchange rate. Gains and losses resulting from this translation are recognized as a foreign currency translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss). Aggregate translation gain, net of tax, was $13,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and aggregated translation loss, net of tax was $24,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Debt Securities All securities are short-term in nature and consist of debt securities classified as available-for-sale and have maturities greater than 90 days, but less than 365 days from the date of acquisition. The Company’s debt securities consist of available-for-sale securities that are classified as Level 2 because their value is based on valuations using significant inputs derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, its available-for-sale debt securities for potential impairment. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether such declines are due to credit related factors such as changes to the rating of the security by a ratings agency, market conditions and supportable forecasts of economic and market conditions, among others. If the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities is less than the amortized cost basis, the Company assesses whether it has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any available-for-sale debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either condition is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value and is recognized through other (expense) income, net. If neither condition is met, declines as a result of credit losses, if any, are recognized as an allowance for credit loss, limited to the amount of unrealized loss, through other (expense) income, net. Any portion of the unrealized loss that is not a result of a credit loss, is recognized in other comprehensive loss. The cost of available-for-sale securities sold is based on the specific-identification method . Realized gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are determined using the specific-identification method and recorded in other (expense) income, net. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent amounts billed to the Company’s customers, net of an allowance for credit losses. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivable portfolio determined based on various factors, including age of the outstanding invoice, credit quality of the customer, historical experience, current economic conditions, and management’s expectations of future economic conditions. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by considering the age of each outstanding invoice and the collection history of each customer to determine the appropriate amount of allowance for credit losses. The Company had no allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company had no credit losses for the periods presented. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined based on actual costs, or estimated net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Prior to regulatory approval of the Company’s product candidates, expenses incurred to manufacture drug products are recorded as research and development expense. The Company begins capitalizing these expenses as inventory upon regulatory approval. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of its inventory and reduces the carrying value of the inventory when items are determined to be obsolete, defective or in excess of forecasted sales requirements. Inventory write-downs for excess, defective, and obsolete inventory are recorded as a cost of sales. The write downs of inventory were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those products. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step approach: (i) identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The five-step model is only applied to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods transferred to a customer. Product Revenue The Company’s product revenue consists of sales of Zokinvy, which received FDA approval in November 2020, EC centralized MA in July 2022, and MHRA approval in August 2022. Zokinvy was launched commercially in the United States in January 2021 and in Europe in November 2022. In the United States, the Company sells Zokinvy to a single specialty pharmacy provider that subsequently dispenses the product directly to patients. The Company discloses revenue on a total basis without further disaggregation. Additionally, the Company does not have any contract assets or liabilities, other than accounts receivable, related to its product revenue. In June 2021, the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) granted Zokinvy a Temporary Authorizations for Use (Autorisation Temporaire d'Utilisation or ATU) for an early access program for a term of one year. The Company has received a one year extension through September 2024 of the ATU program and expects the program to continue until commercial reimbursement of Zokinvy is approved in France. In the context of this program, the Company sells product to a distributor who in turn ships product to pharmacies after receiving requests from physicians for patients in France. In November 2021, the Company began distributing and recognizing revenue from sales of Zokinvy through a reimbursed early access program in France. The Company recorded revenue of $0.1 million and $0.6 million from sales of product under the ATU program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The revenue from sales of product under the ATU program was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company recognizes product revenue when a customer obtains control of its product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to a customer as the delivery of the product is the Company’s only performance obligation. Shipping and handling activities are fulfillment activities rather than a separate performance obligation and are recorded in cost of sales. Product revenue is recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration resulting from rebates, prompt payment discounts, co-payment assistance, and returns. Amounts related to such items are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. The amount of variable consideration may be constrained and is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Product revenue is recorded after considering the impact of the following variable consideration amounts along with the constraint at the time of revenue recognition: Rebates: The Company’s product is subject to government mandated rebates for Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit Program, and other government health care programs in the United States and in Europe. Rebate amounts are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers. The Company uses the expected-value method for estimating these rebates based on statutory discount rates and expected utilization. The expected utilization of rebates is estimated based on expected coverage of identified patients. Estimates for these rebates are adjusted quarterly to reflect the most recent information. The Company records an accrued liability for unpaid rebates related to products for which control has been transferred to a customer. Prompt payment discounts: The Company provides a discount to a customer if it pays for purchases within 30 days. The Company expects that its customers will earn prompt payment discounts and uses the most likely amount method for estimating such discounts. As a result, when revenues are recognized, the Company deducts the full amount of the prompt payment discounts from total product revenues and records these discounts as a reduction of accounts receivable. Co-payment assistance: The Company provides co-payment assistance to patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements. The Company uses the expected-value method for estimating co-payment assistance based on estimates of program redemption using data provided by third-party administrators. Estimates for the co-payment assistance are adjusted quarterly to reflect actual experience. The Company records an accrued liability for unredeemed co-payment assistance related to products for which control has been transferred to a customer. Product returns: The Company offers limited product return rights and generally allows for the return of product that is damaged or defective, or within a few months prior to and up to a few months after the product expiration date. The Company considers several factors in the estimation of potential product returns, including expiration dates of the product shipped, the limited product return rights, third-party data in monitoring channel inventory levels, shelf life of the product, and other relevant factors. Other Revenue The Company’s other revenue consists of milestone payments from the Marketing and Distribution Agreement (MDA) with AnGes, Inc., which was executed in May 2022. The agreement provides AnGes with a right to use the Company's intellectual property (IP) and seek regulatory approval for and commercialization of Zokinvy in Japan. The Company will receive additional payments upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. Cost of Sales Cost of sales consists primarily of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing of Zokinvy for commercial sale, including third-party manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight, storage costs, and write down of inventories. Accrued Research and Development Costs The Company accrues for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include the conduct of preclinical and clinical studies, and contract manufacturing activities. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and includes these costs in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and within research and development expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company accrues for these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and in accordance with agreements established with its third-party service providers. The Company makes judgments and estimates in determining the accrued liabilities balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) . ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model that requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including but not limited to available-for-sale debt securities. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. The new guidance requires the use of forward-looking expected credit loss models based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount, which may result in earlier recognition of credit losses under the new guidance. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which clarifies and corrects certain unintended applications of the guidance contained in each of the amended Topics. Additionally, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) , which |
