FYCOMPA® PRODUCT LINE OF EISAI CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Abbreviated Financial Statements (Amounts in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)
Note 1. Overview
Nature of Business
Eisai Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ECL”, “Parent”, or the “Company”) is a Japanese pharmaceutical company. ECL is a research-based company that develops and manufactures pharmaceutical products, with a focus on Neurology, Oncology and Global Health.
On December 17, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA” or the “Agreement”) with Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Catalyst”, or the “Buyer”) whereby the Buyer agreed to purchase the commercial rights for Fycompa (as defined below) in the United States (the “Product Line” or “Fycompa Business”) and sold in the United States by Eisai, Inc., (“ESI”), a U.S. based wholly owned subsidiary of ECL. The deal closed on January 24, 2023 (“Closing Date”).
FYCOMPA® is an anti-epileptic drug under the generic name perampanel and was an internally developed product by the Company (“Fycompa”). Fycompa was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in 2012 for the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures in people with epilepsy. Fycompa has been prescribed to more than 400,000 patients worldwide.
Catalyst is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on in-licensing, developing, and commercializing novel medicines for patients living with rare diseases.
Concurrent with the acquisition, the parties entered into two related agreements: (i) a short-term Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) and (ii) a long-term Supply Agreement for the commercial support and manufacturing of Fycompa in the US. Under the TSA, ESI will provide commercial services to the Buyer for a transition period following the Closing Date. Further, under the Supply Agreement, ECL will manufacture Fycompa for the Buyer for a period of several years (or such longer period as is set forth in the Supply Agreement) following the Closing Date. The service fees for the TSA will be charged based on the actual number of FTEs performing services. Under the Supply Agreement, charges will be based on agreed upon supply prices.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Abbreviated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and have been prepared for the purpose of assisting the Buyer in complying with the rules and regulations of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and application of SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosure About Acquired and Disposed Businesses and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, and cash flows associated with the Fycompa Business. The total assets and total revenues of the Fycompa Business constitute less than 20% of the Company’s total assets and total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2022. Historically, complete financial statements have never been prepared for the Product Line as the Company did not maintain the Product Line as a stand-alone business, division or subsidiary for the periods presented, and, therefore, it is impractical to prepare stand-alone or full carve-out financial statements for the Product Line. The Financial Statements have been derived from the operating activities attributed to the Product Line from ESI’s books and records. The Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses do not purport to reflect all the costs, expenses, and cash flows that would have been associated had the Product Line been operated as a stand-alone, separate entity. In addition, the Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses may not be indicative of the operating results going forward given the omission of certain corporate overhead described in the notes to the Financial Statements and changes to the Product Line that may be made by the Buyer.
The financing needs of the Product Line were supported by the Parent and cash generated by the Product Line was transferred to the Parent. As the Product Line has historically been managed as part of the operations of Eisai and has not operated as a stand-alone entity, it is impractical to prepare historical cash flow information regarding the operating, investing, and financing cash flows of the Product Line. As such, information on cash flows is not presented herein.
Allocation of Certain Costs and Expenses
These Financial Statements include revenues generated by Fycompa Business less expenses directly attributable to the Product Line and certain allocations of direct expenses incurred by the Company related to the Product Line. Direct expenses attributed to the Product Line include Cost of products sold, Promotion and selling expenses, and Research and development expenses. Cost centers are either unique to a specific product or shared between multiple products. Shared promotion and selling expenses and Research and development expenses were attributed to the Product Line utilizing specific allocation drivers. Where appropriate, these expenses were allocated based on a percentage of sales, percentage of direct expenses attributed or other drivers. These allocations are based on reasonable and rational methods that management believes reflect the costs incurred by the Product Line and may differ from the results that would have been achieved had the Product Line operated as a standalone entity. Certain expenses, such as corporate and administrative, are not tracked or monitored in a manner that would enable the development of a complete set of financial statements. Such costs include allocations of the Company’s corporate overhead not directly related to the operations of the Product Line, as well as allocations of service fee income, interest expense, other income/expense, gains and losses and income tax expense have been excluded from these Financial Statements. Only costs directly related to the revenue-generating activities of the Product Line are included in the Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses as permitted by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.
