The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company Revance Therapeutics, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on innovative aesthetic and therapeutic offerings, including its next-generation neuromodulator product, DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection. DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection combines a proprietary stabilizing peptide excipient with a highly purified botulinum toxin that does not contain human or animal-based components. We have successfully completed a Phase 3 program for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in glabellar (frown) lines and are pursuing U.S. regulatory approval in 2020. We are also evaluating DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection in the full upper face, including glabellar lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet, as well as in three therapeutic indications: cervical dystonia, adult upper limb spasticity and plantar fasciitis. To accompany DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection, we own a unique portfolio of premium products and services for U.S. aesthetics practices, including the exclusive U.S. distribution rights to the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, the first and only range of FDA-approved fillers for correction of dynamic facial wrinkles and folds, and the HintMD fintech platform, which includes integrated smart payment, subscription and loyalty digital services. We have also partnered with Mylan N.V. to develop a biosimilar to BOTOX®, which would compete in the existing short-acting neuromodulator marketplace. We are dedicated to making a difference by transforming patient experiences. On July 23, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Hint, Inc. (d/b/a HintMD) by acquiring 100% of the HintMD stock that was issued and outstanding as of the date of acquisition for a total purchase consideration of $189.6 million (see Note 3 ). Through the HintMD platform, we provide a cloud-based patient engagement and payments platform to medical aesthetic practitioners. The HintMD platform provides patients with the ability to receive personalized aesthetic treatment plans and pay for them using monthly subscription payments, which improves consistency of treatments and affordability. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2020 include the financial results of HintMD from the acquisition completion date. Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to identifying and developing product candidates for the aesthetic and therapeutic pharmaceutical markets, recruiting personnel, raising capital, conducting preclinical and clinical development of, and manufacturing development for DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection, DaxibotulinumtoxinA Topical, the biosimilar to BOTOX®, and the commercial launch of Teoxane’s RHA® Collection of dermal fillers. We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. We have not generated substantial product revenue to date, and will continue to incur significant research and development, sales and marketing, and other expenses related to our ongoing operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $81.3 million and $203.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, we had a working capital surplus of $386.5 million and an accumulated deficit of $1.05 billion. In recent years, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of common stock and convertible senior notes. As of September 30, 2020, we had capital resources of $435.8 million consisting of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. We believe that our existing capital resources will fund the operating plan through at least the next 12 months following the issuance of this Form 10-Q, and may need to identify additional capital resources to fund our operations. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets for the year ended December 31, 2019 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, or any other future period. Our condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on February 26, 2020. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Principles of Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of Revance Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the 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, 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. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, incremental borrowing rate used to measure operating lease liabilities, the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets, useful lives associated with property and equipment and intangible assets, period of benefit associated with deferred costs, useful lives of customer contracts, revenue recognition (including the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, estimating variable consideration, estimating stand-alone selling prices of promised goods and services, and allocation of transaction price to performance obligations), deferred revenue classification, accruals including clinical trial costs, valuation and assumptions underlying stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, fair value of derivative liability, fair value of the liability component of the convertible senior notes, allocation of purchase consideration in asset acquisitions, and income taxes. We base these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The worldwide continued spread of COVID-19 has caused a global slowdown of economic activity which has decreased demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including from our potential customers, while also disrupting sales channels and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the disease is contained. We are unable to predict the future effect resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic on, for instance, clinical trials and product launch timing. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to update our estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) 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) we satisfy a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within the contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. In revenue arrangements involving third parties, we recognize revenue as the principal when we maintain control of the product or service until it is transferred to our customer; under other circumstances, we recognize revenue as an agent in the sales transaction. Determining whether we have control requires judgment over certain considerations, which generally include whether we are primarily responsible for the fulfillment of the underlying products or services, whether we have inventory risk before fulfillment is completed, and if we have discretion to establish prices over the products or services. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue. We currently generate product revenue from the sale of RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, service revenue from payment processing and subscriptions to the platform, and collaboration revenue from the biosimilar program with Mylan. Product Revenue Our product revenue is generated from the sale of RHA® Collection of dermal fillers to our customers. We sell our products to our customers through our third-party distributor and maintain control throughout the sales transactions as the principal. We recognize revenue from product sales when control of the product transfers, generally upon delivery, to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we received or expect to receive in exchange for those goods as specified in the customer contract. We accept product returns under limited circumstances which generally include damages in transit or ineffective product. Service fees paid to the distributor associated with product logistics are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of product revenue in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Service Revenue We generate service revenue from charging customers subscription-based fees to use the HintMD platform and fees for payments processed through the HintMD platform. Our contracts with customers are generally for a term of one month and renew automatically each month. Subscription-based fees are charged for the use of our platform and per-patient account basis, for patient accounts that enroll in the monthly subscription payment program. We typically invoice our customers for subscription-based services on a monthly basis for services rendered in the preceding month. Our arrangements for subscription services typically consist of an obligation to provide services to the customers on a when and if needed basis (a stand-ready obligation), and revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of the performance obligations ratably over each month, as we provide the platform services to customers. We currently work with third-party partners to provide payment processing services in which we are the accounting agent in these arrangements. Payment processing services are charged on a rate per transaction basis (usage-based fees), with no minimum usage commitments. We recognize revenue generated from these transactions on a net basis. We will re-evaluate whether we are the principal or the agent in these service arrangements should there be changes impacting control in transferring related goods or services to end customers. Costs to Obtain Contracts with Customers According to ASC 606, certain costs to obtain a contract with a customer should be capitalized, to the extent recoverable from the associated contract margin, and subsequently amortized as the products or services are delivered to the customer inclusive of expected renewals. We expect such costs to generally include sales commissions and related fringe benefits. For similar contracts with which the expected delivery period is one year or less, we apply the practical expedient to expense such costs as incurred in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Otherwise such costs are capitalized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized over the expected period of benefit to the customer. The determined period of benefit for payment processing and subscription services is subject to re-evaluation periodically. Inventories Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale to the customer including consigned inventory held by our distributor. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory valuation reserves are established based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, finished goods not meeting product specifications, product excess and obsolescence, or application of the lower of cost or net realizable value concepts. The determination of events requiring the establishment of inventory valuation reserves, together with the calculation of the amount of such reserves may require judgment. No inventory valuation reserves have been recorded for any periods presented. Intangible Assets, net Intangible assets consist of distribution rights acquired from the filler distribution agreement with Teoxane, SA (see Note 5 ) as well as intangible assets acquired from the HintMD Acquisition (see Note 3 ). Finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized on a ratable basis over their estimated useful life. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level, the fourth quarter of each calendar year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reporting unit might be impaired. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized based on a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability. In assessing goodwill for impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is performed. If we conclude that goodwill is impaired, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which modifies the measurement and recognition of credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The new standard 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 standard. The new guidance also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which did not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve applications of certain topics included within the credit losses standard. The FASB then issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments , which did not change the core principle of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 but clarified that expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off should be included in the valuation account and should not exceed amounts previously written off and expected to be written off. Upon adoption of the ASUs above, accounts receivable are stated at amortized cost less allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses reflects the best estimate of future losses over the contractual life of outstanding accounts receivable and is determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances known for troubled accounts, other currently available information including customer financial condition, and both current and forecasted economic conditions. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The new guidance eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill assuming a hypothetical purchase price allocation (i.e., Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard should be adopted when the entities perform the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020 and will apply the guidance during our annual goodwill impairment test for the year ending December 31, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Accordingly, the amendments require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Adopted In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity . The amendments in ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing certain requirements to separately account for conversion options embedded in debt instruments that are not required to be accounted for as derivative instruments. ASU 2020-06 also updates and improves the consistency of earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. We are evaluating of the impact of ASU 2020-06 on our consolidated financial statements. |
