Significant Accounting Policies | |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | |
We have prepared the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
Segments | |
We operate in one segment, pharmaceutical product development. All of our significant assets are located in the United States. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, all of our revenue was generated in the United States. | |
Initial Public Offering | |
On February 13, 2014, we completed our initial public offering ("IPO") whereby 9,200,000 shares of common stock were sold to the public at a price of $17.72 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $142.0 million from the initial public offering ("IPO"), net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, and offering expenses. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 10,813,867 shares of common stock and $12.0 million of outstanding principal underlying a convertible note that we issued to SBI Holdings, Inc. in May 2006, automatically converted into 3,636,365 shares of common stock. | |
Investments | |
Investments are composed of commercial paper, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, and government-backed securities. Investments with original maturities longer than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. We consider our investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value as of each balance sheet date based on market quotes, and unrealized gains and losses are reflected as a net amount under the caption of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Premiums or discounts arising at acquisition are amortized into earnings. | |
We periodically evaluate whether declines in fair values of our investments below their cost are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of several qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss, as well as whether it is more likely than not that we will hold the investment until recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are recorded within the statements of income under the caption other income (expense). | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | |
All of our accounts receivable, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, consist of amounts due from our collaborations with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Otsuka, a global pharmaceutical company based in Japan. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented, as we believe all outstanding amounts will be paid based on our contractual arrangements with Otsuka and history of successful collections thereunder and collateral is not required. Revenue recognized for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consist of amounts derived from our collaboration agreements with Otsuka. | |
Deferred Offering Costs | |
External costs we incurred directly attributable our IPO were deferred and recorded as noncurrent assets as of December 31, 2013, and were offset against the proceeds of the 2014 IPO. | |
Income Taxes | |
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have already been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises and other equity awards are credited to shareholders' equity. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards and are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the years the differences or carryforwards are anticipated to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when we believe that it is more likely than not that benefits of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $1.6 million due to expected future losses as a result of our new strategic plan (see Note 10). The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |

Cash, cash equivalents and investments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include all cash, money market funds, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. We consider our investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, and | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. | ||||||||||||||||
We measure the fair value of money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. All other financial instruments were valued either based on recent trades of securities in inactive markets or based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. We did not hold any financial instruments categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||

Unrealized losses as of September 30, 2014 are related to changes in interest rates and it is more likely than not that we will hold these securities until a recovery of the cost basis occurs. No investments have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. |

Upon the closing of the IPO, $12,000,000 of outstanding principal underlying a convertible note that we issued to SBI Holdings, Inc. in May 2006 automatically converted into 3,636,365 shares of common stock, after an intermediate conversion into Series C preferred shares. | |
On June 26, 2014, we entered into a new agreement for the lease of approximately 38,723 square feet of office space in our headquarters building in Seattle, Washington. The term of the lease commences on January 1, 2015 and, subject to the terms of the lease, will expire on either November 30, 2021 or February 22, 2022. Future minimum payments under the lease are approximately $1.0 million per year. | |
On September 19, 2014, we entered into an amendment of our lease agreement for the lease of approximately 17,488 square feet of laboratory and office space in Bothell, Washington. The amendment extended the expiration date of the original lease from February 28, 2015 to February 28, 2017 and reduced the basic annual rent to approximately $0.4 million, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the lease. | |
On September 30, 2014, we entered into retention agreements with the majority of our current employees and excluding executives. The agreements, which cover periods of 18 or 24-months of continued employment, require an aggregate payment of approximately $1.5 million, in exchange for requisite service over that period. As of September 30, 2014, no amounts were accrued related to these agreements in the accompanying condensed financial statements. | |
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and to our knowledge none is threatened. There can be no assurance that future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

Net Income (Loss) Per Share | ||||||||||||||||
Net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities for periods in which we have net income. Prior to the IPO, all series of convertible preferred stock were considered to be participating securities, as the holders were entitled to participate in any dividends prior and in preference to dividends declared or paid on the common stock. Undistributed earnings allocated to these participating securities were subtracted from net income in determining net income attributable to common shareholders. | ||||||||||||||||
Immediately prior to the closing of our IPO, all outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted to common. We issued 9,200,000 shares of common stock in the IPO. In addition, 3,636,365 shares of common stock were issued upon the conversion of the contingently convertible debt held by a related party. As a result, as of September 30, 2014, common stock is our only outstanding class of capital stock. | ||||||||||||||||
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of the common stock outstanding and other dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The potential dilutive shares of our common stock include the exercise of outstanding stock options that are dilutive and restricted stock units. | ||||||||||||||||

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received and recognized as revenue the $5.0 million milestone payment associated with the initiation of the Phase 2b/3 clinical trial related to emixustat. No development or net sales milestones were achieved during the three months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized $8.1 million and $27.7 million, respectively, and $8.8 million and $28.5 million, respectively, of revenue in performance of under our agreement with Otsuka, regarding emixustat (referred to as the Emixustat Agreement). | |
Under the Emixustat Agreement, Otsuka will fund our share of the Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs in the form of a secured promissory note. The promissory note provides that (a) interest will accrue daily and be calculated on the basis of 360 days per year and be payable on all amounts advanced to us from the date of advance until paid in full; (b) unpaid interest will compound annually; and (c) the applicable interest rate will be adjusted quarterly to reflect the then-effective rate equal to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each calendar quarter, plus 3%; and (d) all amounts are payable in U.S. dollars. The agreement includes a security interest agreement that grants Otsuka a first priority interest on our interests in net profits and royalty payments, and on our interests in ownership of the related collaboration compounds and collaboration products and the underlying intellectual property rights, both in the Shared Territory and the Acucela Territory (as such terms are defined in the Emixustat Agreement). | |
The promissory note is repayable only in the event that proceeds are generated by any future product sales under the Emixustat Agreement or by the sale or license of collaboration compounds and collaboration products developed under the Emixustat Agreement outside North America and Otsuka’s sole territory. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we have recognized revenue of approximately $4.0 million and $13.6 million, respectively, and $4.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively, under the Emixustat Agreement, which is contingently repayable as described above. As of September 30, 2014, the contingently repayable funding has accrued $2.1 million of interest, which is contingently repayable along with the above. In addition, we have received $9.9 million in advances from Otsuka, which we have recorded as deferred revenue from collaborations in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2014. | |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized no revenue and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $5.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of revenue associated with rebamipide clinical development activities. The Rebamipide Agreement was terminated in September 2013. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized no revenue and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of revenue associated with OPA-6566 for glaucoma clinical development activities. | |
Continued Involvement of the CEO | |
Our collaboration arrangements with Otsuka require the continuing involvement of our CEO, Dr. Ryo Kubota. In the event of the departure of Dr. Kubota from Acucela or if he is no longer serving as an ongoing and active member of our development team, the arrangements are subject to termination, at the option of Otsuka. For each agreement, this provision expires upon the approval of the NDA for the first indication in the United States. |

Strategic Restructuring | ||||
In October 2013, we announced a plan to reduce expenses, including a workforce reduction, as a result of the termination of the Rebamipide Agreement. The plan resulted in a reduction in force of approximately 35% of our total workforce, or approximately 30 employees, effective January 1, 2014. As a result of this workforce reduction, we recorded a $1.0 million charge in 2013 in general and administrative expense, related to severance, other termination benefits, and outplacement services. The cash outlays related to this charge primarily took place in the first six months of 2014 and activities were complete as of June 30, 2014.

Effective tax rates were 563% and 269% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and 34% and 35% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and our effective tax rate in 2014 was due primarily to the provision of a partial valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for which we do not anticipate future realization and permanent differences in book and tax earnings for stock options, meals and entertainment, and other miscellaneous items. We recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $1.6 million due to expected future losses as a result of our new strategic plan. Our Board of Directors approved a new strategic plan that includes commencement of development of certain proprietary pre-clinical programs or in-license opportunities. Because these opportunities will be developed independently, our development expenditures on these programs will not be funded by collaborative partners and we expect that our total research and development expenses will increase and that we will incur net losses from our operating activities. | |
In 2013, there were no individual items representing a greater than 5% impact on the effective tax rate. |

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. Under the new revenue recognition model, a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendment may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the transition alternatives and impact on our financial statements. |

Unaudited Interim Financial Information | ' |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | |
We have prepared the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal year 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
Segments | ' |
Segments | |
We operate in one segment, pharmaceutical product development. All of our significant assets are located in the United States. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, all of our revenue was generated in the United States. | |
Initial Public Offering | ' |
Initial Public Offering | |
On February 13, 2014, we completed our initial public offering ("IPO") whereby 9,200,000 shares of common stock were sold to the public at a price of $17.72 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $142.0 million from the initial public offering ("IPO"), net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, and offering expenses. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of our outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 10,813,867 shares of common stock and $12.0 million of outstanding principal underlying a convertible note that we issued to SBI Holdings, Inc. in May 2006, automatically converted into 3,636,365 shares of common stock. | |
Investments | ' |
Investments | |
Investments are composed of commercial paper, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, and government-backed securities. Investments with original maturities longer than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. We consider our investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value as of each balance sheet date based on market quotes, and unrealized gains and losses are reflected as a net amount under the caption of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Premiums or discounts arising at acquisition are amortized into earnings. | |
We periodically evaluate whether declines in fair values of our investments below their cost are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of several qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss, as well as whether it is more likely than not that we will hold the investment until recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are recorded within the statements of income under the caption other income (expense). | |
Cash, cash equivalents and investments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include all cash, money market funds, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. We consider our investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value: | |
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, | |
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, and | |
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which requires us to develop our own assumptions. | |
We measure the fair value of money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. All other financial instruments were valued either based on recent trades of securities in inactive markets or based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' |
Concentration of Credit Risk | |
All of our accounts receivable, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, consist of amounts due from our collaborations with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Otsuka, a global pharmaceutical company based in Japan. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented, as we believe all outstanding amounts will be paid based on our contractual arrangements with Otsuka and history of successful collections thereunder and collateral is not required. Revenue recognized for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consist of amounts derived from our collaboration agreements with Otsuka. | |
Deferred Offering Costs | ' |
Deferred Offering Costs | |
External costs we incurred directly attributable our IPO were deferred and recorded as noncurrent assets as of December 31, 2013, and were offset against the proceeds of the 2014 IPO. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes | |
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have already been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises and other equity awards are credited to shareholders' equity. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards and are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the years the differences or carryforwards are anticipated to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established when we believe that it is more likely than not that benefits of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $1.6 million due to expected future losses as a result of our new strategic plan (see Note 10). The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | |
