Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Kindred Biosciences, Inc. ("KindredBio", "we", "us" or "our") was incorporated on September 25, 2012 (inception) in the State of Delaware. On April 25, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware for a wholly owned subsidiary, KindredBio Equine, Inc. ("KindredBio Equine"). KindredBio Equine has one class of capital stock which is designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The authorized number of shares of common stock for KindredBio Equine is 1,000. On February 1, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware for a wholly owned subsidiary, Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services, Inc. ("Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services"). Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services has one class of capital stock which is designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The authorized number of shares of common stock for Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services is 1,000. We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on saving and improving the lives of pets. Our activities since inception have consisted principally of raising capital, establishing facilities, recruiting management and technical staff and performing research and development and advancing our product candidates seeking regulatory approval. Our headquarters are located in Burlingame, California. Our first product, Mirataz® (mirtazapine transdermal ointment) was approved in May 2018 and became commercially available to veterinarians in the United States in July 2018. In November 2019, our second product, Zimeta™ (dipyrone injection) for the control of fever in horses was approved by the FDA and became commercially available in December 2019. In addition, we have multiple other product candidates, including several biologics, in various stages of development. On March 16, 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement whereby we agreed to sell Mirataz, our transdermal drug for the management of weight loss in cats, to Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC ("Dechra") for a cash purchase price of $43 million, of which $38.7 million will be paid on the closing date and $4.3 million will be paid out of escrow beginning in 12 months assuming no escrow claims, alongside an ongoing royalty on global net sales. The acquisition comprises worldwide marketing rights, intellectual property rights, marketing authorizations and associated regulatory documentation, third party supply contracts related to raw material and manufacture of the finished product, and certain product inventory. On April 15, 2020, we completed the sale of Mirataz to Dechra. Concurrent with the sale of Mirataz, we announced a strategic realignment of our business model whereby we plan to rely more on a partnership-based model for commercialization strategy similar to the traditional human biotech commercialization strategy whereby pipeline assets are partnered with larger commercial partners that can maximize product opportunity in return for upfront payments, contingent milestones, and royalties on future sales. Our focus will be on accelerating our deep pipeline of late-stage biologics candidates in canine and feline markets, while stopping small molecule development for these species. We believe monoclonal antibodies are the future of veterinary medicine, and represent the greatest opportunity for value creation, given large potential markets for our programs and our competitive advantage in biologics. Accordingly, the companion animal commercial infrastructure will be substantially reduced. In connection with this restructuring, we eliminated 53 positions and recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $1.7 million related to severance payments and health care benefits, exclusive of stock compensation, representing about one-third of our workforce. The eliminated positions primarily relate to the companion animal sales force and research and development for small molecule programs. On June 8, 2020, we announced a plan to strengthen our strategic position by, among other things, prioritizing our most attractive late stage programs and substantially reducing our expenses to best position the company for success with the previously announced business model. This restructuring reduced our workforce by approximately 24 employees and resulted in a restructuring charge of approximately $2.3 million related to severance payments and health care benefits, exclusive of stock compensation. We expect the restructuring to be completed in the third quarter of 2020. We are subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. There can be no assurance that our research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate patent or other intellectual property protection for our technology will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. We operate in an environment of substantial competition from other animal health companies. In addition, we are dependent upon the services of our employees and consultants, as well as third-party contract research organizations and manufacturers. Our contract manufacturers purchase raw materials from suppliers located in China and India in order to manufacture our products and product candidates. The December 2019 outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in China and India and other countries with which we do business may result in the full or partial shutdown of manufacturers or other businesses that are affected by the coronavirus, which may adversely impact both our ability to obtain sufficient and timely supplies of our products and other product candidates and our revenue from those products. In addition to adversely affecting our ability to obtain sufficient and timely supplies of products and product candidates from suppliers, any outbreak of contagious diseases, such as the recent novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) that is affecting the global community, could adversely affect our business and operations in other ways, many of which cannot currently be determined or quantified. These uncertain factors, including the duration of the outbreak, the severity of the disease and the actions to contain or treat its impact, could impair our operations including, among others, employee mobility and productivity, availability of facilities, conduct of our clinical trials, manufacturing and supply capacity, and availability and productivity of third party service suppliers. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Kindred Biosciences and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Stock Offerings In January 2019, we completed a public offering of 4,847,250 shares of common stock, which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase 632,250 additional shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $9.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $46,049,000. Net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expense, were approximately $43,140,000. On April 8, 2020, we entered into an At Market Offering ("ATM") whereby we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time up to $25 million. As of June 30, 2020, no shares were sold through the ATM. Borrowings On September 30, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Solar Capital Ltd., as collateral agent and lender, and the other lenders named in the Loan Agreement (Solar Capital Ltd. and the other lenders collectively, the “Lenders”). The Lenders have agreed to make available to KindredBio an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million under the Loan Agreement. We plan to use the loan proceeds to support the development and commercialization of our products and product candidates as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan commitment of $50.0 million in three tranches: (1) a $20.0 million term A loan that was funded on September 30, 2019; (2) a $15.0 million term B loan that is to be funded at our request, subject to certain conditions described in the Loan Agreement being satisfied, no later than December 31, 2020; and (3) a $15.0 million term C loan that is to be funded at our request, subject to certain conditions described in the Loan Agreement being satisfied, on or before June 30, 2021. Each term loan has a maturity date of September 30, 2024. Each term loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate (with a floor of 2.17%) plus 6.75%. We are permitted to make interest-only payments on each term loan through October 31, 2021. The interest-only period can be extended by six months upon our satisfaction of the minimum liquidity requirements described in the Loan Agreement. See Note 6. On March 16, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the "First Amendment") with the Lenders in connection with the sale of our Mirataz asset. Among other things, the First Amendment increases the minimum cash amount, as defined in the Loan Agreement, required to be maintained by KindredBio to $10,000,000 at any time prior to the initial funding date of any term B loan, to $15,000,000 at all times on and after the initial funding date of any term B loan, and to $20,000,000 at all times on and after the initial funding date of any term C loan, and releases Solar Capital's lien in and to the assets that are being sold by KindredBio. We agreed to pay an amendment fee of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), which was deemed fully earned and non-refundable on the First Amendment's effective date. The First Amendment also requires KindredBio to receive unrestricted net proceeds of at least $10,000,000 prior to December 31, 2021 pursuant to a specified sale of preferred or common stock or convertible subordinated debt financing. Liquidity We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations through the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As a result of the Mirataz asset sale in April 2020, we recorded a net income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We had an accumulated deficit of $221,774,000 as of June 30, 2020. We expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows as we continue our product development activities, seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates, establish a biologics manufacturing capability, and commercialize any approved products. To date, we have been funded primarily through sales of our equity and recently through an asset sale. We might require additional capital until such time as we can generate operating revenues in excess of operating expenses. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $77,573,000 as of June 30, 2020, the net reduction in our workforce and revenues from anticipated partnerships including royalties will be sufficient to fund our planned operations through mid-2022. In addition, the potential additional draw down of $30 million from our Loan Agreement, which is contingent on the achievement of certain milestones, and our April 8, 2020 ATM facility will provide us with access to additional cash and extend our runway, if required. If we require additional funding for operations, we may seek such funding through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may not be able to enter into corporate collaborations or licensing arrangements. The terms of any financing may result in dilution or otherwise adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. Revenue Streams Except for the normal product sales, the second quarter of 2020 includes revenue from the sale of our Mirataz asset and the associated partner royalties and revenue from our contract manufacturing service. Product revenue Our product revenues consist of product revenues resulting from the sales of Mirataz and Zimeta. We account for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between us and our customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. Our customers could either be distributors who subsequently resell our products to third parties such as veterinarians, clinics or animals hospitals or the third parties themselves. Included in product sale for the second quarter of 2020 is revenue derived from co-marketing products for our partners in conjunction with sales of Mirataz and Zimeta. Revenue from asset sale On March 16, 2020, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell Mirataz to Dechra for a cash purchase price of $43 million. On April 15, 2020, we completed the sale of Mirataz to Dechra and received payment of $38.7 million on the closing date. The remaining $4.3 million will be paid out of escrow beginning in 12 months assuming no escrow claims. We concluded our accounting treatment of the asset sale to Dechra meets the scope of Accounting Standards Codification, Topic "ASC 610-20-15-2", Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets . We considered our strategic realignment of our business model whereby we become a biologics-only company focused on accelerating our deep pipeline of late-stage biologics candidates in canine and feline markets. Accordingly, we plan to rely more on a partnership-based model for commercialization strategy whereby pipeline assets are partnered with larger commercial partners that can maximize product opportunity in return for upfront payment, contingent milestones, and royalties on future sales. Based on the above evaluation in the aggregate, we concluded the proper presentation of the sale of Mirataz within operating income as part of revenue. This is presented as a separate line item and described as revenue from asset sale. Partner royalties Related to the Dechra Asset Purchase Agreement, Dechra will pay us a royalty based on a percentage of worldwide Net Sales, on a country-by-country basis. Net sales is defined as gross invoiced sales amount less discounts and allowances, taxes on sales, shipping charges if included in invoice price, qualified returns and chargebacks. Revenue for each quarter is accrued based on a statement furnished by Dechra and adjustments made, if any, to be in line with payment received within forty-five days of the end of the applicable calendar quarter. Contract manufacturing revenue The manufacturing revenue stream generally represents revenue from the manufacturing of customer product(s) recognized over time, utilizing an input method that compares the cost of cumulative work-in-process to date to the most current estimate for the entire cost of the performance obligation through manufacturing runs. Under a manufacturing contract, a quantity of manufacturing runs is ordered and the product is manufactured according to the customer’s specifications and typically only one performance obligation is included. Each manufacturing run represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The product(s) are manufactured exclusively for a specific customer and have no alternative use. The customer retains control of their product during the entire manufacturing process and can make changes to the process or specifications at their request. The customer and our project team typically have a timeline on each milestone and duration time. They also have an estimated start and finish date. When the project is moving forward, they constantly change to the actual date to track the project progress. The timing has been shared by both parties. This becomes the most important basis for our revenue recognition. Because of the timing effect of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can be recorded into three different ways: billed trade receivables, contract assets (unbilled receivables), and contract liabilities (customer deposits and deferred revenue). Contract assets are recorded when our right to consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables on the balance sheet when our rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities represent customer deposits and deferred revenue billed and/or received in advance of our fulfillment of performance obligations. Contract liabilities convert to revenue as we perform our obligations under the contract. Revenue Recognition We account for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between us and our customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. Our customers could either be distributors who subsequently resell our products to veterinarians, clinics or animals hospitals, licensing partners or third parties. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted on January 1, 2018, was applied the following steps to recognize revenue that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the promised goods or services: 1. Identify the contract with a customer A contract with a customer exists when we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer. These contracts define each party's rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract Our product in a given purchase order is delivered at the same time and we do not separate an individual order into separate performance obligations. We have concluded the sale of finished goods and related shipping and handling are accounted for as a single performance obligation as there are no other promises to deliver goods beyond what is specified in each accepted customer order. For contract manufacturing, we have concluded the milestone of each manufacturing service are accounted for as a single performance obligation as there are no other promises beyond what is specified in each accepted customer order. 3. Determine the transaction price The transaction price is determined based on the consideration which we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or service to the customer, typically a fixed consideration in our contractual agreements. 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation to provide pharmaceutical products or contract manufacturing service with each milestone its own price. The nature of the promises/obligations under our contracts is to transfer a distinct good or service. Accordingly, because a single performance obligation exists, including in each milestone pertaining to contract manufacturing, no allocation of the transaction price is necessary. 5. Determine the satisfaction of performance obligation Revenue is recognized when control of the finished goods is transferred to the customer, net of applicable reserves for variable consideration. Control of the finished goods is transferred at a point in time, upon delivery to the customer. For contract manufacturing service, revenue is recognized over time. Control of the finished manufactured products is transferred at a point in time, upon delivery to the customer. Reserves for Variable Consideration Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include product returns, allowances and discounts. These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes for the expected value (probability-weighted estimate) or relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized where the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known. No reserves for contract manufacturing service are recorded as each manufacturing run represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The product(s) are manufactured exclusively for a specific customer and have no alternative use. Product Returns Consistent with the industry practice, we generally offer customers a limited right of return of damaged or expired product that has been purchased directly from us. Our return policy generally allows customers to receive credit for expired products within 90 days after the product’s expiration date. We estimate the amount of our product revenues that may be returned by our customers and record these estimates as a reduction of product revenues in the period the related product revenues are recognized, as well as within accrued liabilities, in the consolidated balance sheets. We currently estimate product return liabilities using probability-weighted available industry data and data provided by the our distributors such as the inventories remaining in the distribution channel. To-date, we have no returns and believe that returns of our product in future periods will be minimal. We do not record a return asset associated with the returned damaged or expired goods due to such asset is deemed to be fully impaired at the time of product return. Our contract manufacturing customer retains control of their product during the entire manufacturing process and can make changes to the process or specifications at their request. There are no product returns. Sales Discounts and Allowances We compensate our distributors for sales order management, data and distribution and other services through sales discounts and allowances. However, such services are not distinct from our sale of products to distributors and, therefore, these discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of product revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, as well as a reduction to accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. No discounts and allowances are recorded for contract manufacturing service as the price of each milestone is agreed upon when the contract is signed Sales Commissions We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses. Cost of Revenues Cost of product revenues consists primarily of the cost of direct materials, direct labor and overhead costs associated with manufacturing, inbound shipping and other third-party logistics costs. Contract manufacturing costs consist primarily of the cost of direct materials, direct labor and overhead costs associated with manufacturing, rent, facility costs and related machinery depreciation. Inventories We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost of inventory using the standard-cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. We analyze our inventory levels quarterly and write down inventory subject to expire in excess of expected requirements, or that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value. In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we wrote off $3,494,000 Mirataz inventory related to the Dechra Asset Purchase Agreement, due to the transition to Dechra brand labelling. Currently our inventory consists of Zimeta finished goods only. Property, Plant and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two fifteen Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are based on historical experiences or on forecasts, including information received from third parties and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Our comprehensive income (loss) includes the change in unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The cumulative amount of gains or losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", changes to the interbank offered rates (IBORs), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").
