Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business | Business — MannKind Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of inhaled therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The Company’s only approved product, Afrezza (insulin human) Inhalation Powder, is a rapid-acting inhaled insulin that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in June 2014 to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes. Afrezza became available by prescription in United States retail pharmacies in February 2015. Currently, the Company promotes Afrezza to endocrinologists and certain high-prescribing primary care physicians in the United States through its specialty sales force. |
Basis Of Presentation | Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently profitable and has rarely generated positive net cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.9 billion. At December 31, 2018, the Company’s capital resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $71.2 million and $0.5 million of restricted cash. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenditures to support commercial manufacturing, sales and marketing of Afrezza, collaboration work and the development of product candidates in the Company’s pipeline. The facility agreement (as amended, the “Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”) that resulted in the issuance of 9.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019 (“2019 notes”) and 8.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019 (“Tranche B notes”) (see Note 7 — Borrowings) requires the Company to maintain at least $20.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018 and $25.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of the end of each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $101.7 million principal amount of outstanding borrowings. The Company has entered into certain transaction related to these borrowings during 2017 and 2018 that are more fully described in Note 6 - Related Party Agreements and Note 7 – Borrowings. The Company’s currently available cash and financing sources will not be sufficient to continue to meet its current and anticipated cash requirements within one year from the date these financial statements were issued. The Company plans to raise additional capital, whether through a sale of equity or debt securities, strategic business collaboration agreements with other companies, the establishment of other funding facilities, licensing arrangements, asset sales or other means, in order to continue the development and commercialization of Afrezza and other product candidates and to support its other ongoing activities. The Company cannot provide assurances that such additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Successful completion of these plans is dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control. As such, management cannot be certain that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Segment Information | Segment Information — Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as one segment operating in the United States of America. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition — The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“the new revenue guidance”), on January 1, 2018. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. See below for more information about the impact of adoption of the new revenue guidance. Upon adoption of the new revenue guidance, the Company moved from the sell-through model to a sell-to model for revenue related to commercial sales of Afrezza to wholesalers and now records revenue when its customers take control of the product along with an estimate of potential returns as variable consideration. For sales of Afrezza to specialty pharmacies, the Company previously recognized revenue at the time of shipment because specialty pharmacies generally purchase on demand and estimated returns are minimal. Therefore, there was no impact upon adoption for sales to specialty pharmacies. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs 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) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company has three types of contracts with customers: contracts with wholesale distributors and specialty pharmacies for commercial product sales, collaboration arrangements, and arrangements with parties to whom it has sold intellectual property. Prior to Janaury 1, 2018, we invoiced our customers upon shipment of Afrezza to them and recorded an accounts receivable, with a corresponding liability for deferred revenue equal to the gross invoice price net of estimated gross-to-net adjustments. We were required to reliably estimate returns in a very narrow range in order to recognize revenue upon shipment. While we were able to estimate returns within a range, it was not sufficiently precise to meet the accounting requirements for the Income Statement upon shipment. Accordingly, we deferred recognition of revenue and the related estimated discounts and allowances on Afrezza product shipments until the right of return no longer existed, which occurs at the earlier of the time Afrezza is dispensed through patient prescriptions or expiration of the right of return. Through December 31, 2017, we recognized revenue based on Afrezza prescriptions dispensed, as estimated by syndicated data provided by a third party. We also analyzed additional data points to ensure that such third-party data was reasonable, including data related to inventory movements within the channel and ongoing prescription demand. In addition, the costs of Afrezza associated with the deferred revenue were recorded as deferred costs until such time as the related deferred revenue is recognized. |
Revenue Recognition - Net Revenue - Commercial Product Sales | Revenue Recognition – Net Revenue – Commercial Product Sales – The Company sells Afrezza to a limited number of wholesale distributors and specialty pharmacies in the U.S. (collectively, its “Customers”). These Customers subsequently resell the Company’s product to retail pharmacies and certain medical centers or hospitals or in the case of specialty pharmacies, sell directly to patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, the Company enters into arrangements with health care providers and payors that provide for government mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s product. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, Afrezza net revenue from commercial product sales consisted of $17.3 million and $9.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, there was zero net deferred revenue due to the adoption of Topic 606. At December 31, 2017, the balance of net deferred revenue was $3.0 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company, beginning January 1, 2018, recognizes revenue on product sales when the Customer obtains control of the Company's product, which occurs at a point in time (based on the terms of the relevant contracts which are at delivery for wholesale distributors and at shipment for specialty pharmacies). Product revenues are recorded net of applicable reserves for variable consideration, including discounts and allowances. Voucher Program – Under the voucher program, potential new patients are given vouchers which they can provide to retailers for free product. The retailers provide the product to the patient for free and pay the wholesaler for the product, who pays the Company. The retailers submit the vouchers to a program administrator who pays the retailer for the product. The administrator then invoices the Company for the amount of vouchers paid plus a fee. Accordingly, on a net basis, it is not probable that the Company will receive the consideration to which it is entitled from the sale of product under the voucher program. Therefore, the Company excludes such amounts from both gross and net revenue. The cost of product associated with the voucher program is included in cost of goods sold. Reserves for Variable Consideration — Revenues from product sales are recorded at the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include trade discounts and allowances, product returns, provider chargebacks and discounts, government rebates, payor rebates, and other incentives, such as voluntary patient assistance, and other allowances that are offered within contracts between the Company and its Customers, payors, and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s sale of its product. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and result in a reduction of accounts receivable or establishment of a current liability. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted in accordance with the expected value method in Topic 606 for 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 reduce recognized revenue to the Company’s 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 that is included in the transaction price is only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. The Company’s analyses also contemplates application of the constraint in accordance with the guidance, under which it determined a material reversal of revenue would not occur in a future period for the estimates detailed below as of December 31, 2018 and, therefore, the transaction price was not reduced further during the year ended December 31, 2018. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net revenue – commercial product sales and earnings in the period such variances become known. Trade Discounts and Allowances — The Company generally provides Customers with discounts which include incentive fees, such as prompt pay discounts, that are explicitly stated in the Company’s contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company compensates (through trade discounts and allowances) its Customers for sales order management, data, and distribution services. However, the Company has determined such services received to date are not distinct from the Company’s sale of product to the Customers and, therefore, these payments have been recorded as a reduction of revenue and a reduction to accounts receivable, net. Product Returns — As of January 1, 2018, as a part of the adoption of Topic 606, the Company generally offers Customers a right of return for unopened product that has been purchased from the Company for a period beginning six months prior to and ending 12 months after its expiration date. Such right of return lapses upon shipment to a patient. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its Customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized, as well as reductions to accounts receivable, net. The Company currently estimates product returns using available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. The Company’s current return reserve rate is estimated to be a low single-digit return rate. Provider Chargebacks and Discounts — Chargebacks for fees and discounts to providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to Customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. Customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the ultimate selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider by Customers, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of the Customer’s notification to the Company of the resale. Reserves for chargebacks consist of credits that the Company expects to issue for units that remain in the distribution channel inventories at each reporting period-end that the Company expects will be sold to qualified healthcare providers, and chargebacks that Customers have claimed, but for which the Company has not yet issued a credit. Government Rebates — The Company is subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and Medicare. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom the Company will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program. The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter, and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but which remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. Payor Rebates — The Company contracts with certain private payor organizations, primarily insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of its products. The Company estimates these rebates and records such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Other Incentives — Other incentives which the Company offers include voluntary patient support programs, such as the Company's co-pay assistance program, which are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially-insured patients with prescription drug co-payments required by payors. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. The adjustments are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. |
Deferred Costs from Commercial Product Sales | Deferred Costs from Commercial Product Sales — Deferred costs from commercial product sales represents the cost of product (including labor, overhead and shipping costs to third party logistics providers) shipped to wholesale distributors, but not dispensed by pharmacies to patients. If the Company estimates that inventory that has been shipped to wholesale distributors will be returned for credit because there is a risk of product expiry, deferred costs of commercial product sales is reduced and cost of goods sold is increased for the cost of such inventory. The Company had deferred costs from commercial products sales of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2017. On January 1, 2018, the Company adjusted its deferred costs from commercial products to zero as a result of the adoption of Topic 606. |
Revenue Recognition- Net Revenue - Collaborations and Services | Revenue Recognition — Net Revenue — Collaborations and Services — The Company enters into licensing or research agreements under which the Company licenses certain rights to its product candidates to third parties or conducting research services to third parties. The terms of these arrangements may include, but are not limited to payment to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, up-front license fees; development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services the Company provides; and royalties on net sales of licensed products and sublicenses of the rights. As part of the accounting for these arrangements, the Company must develop assumptions that require judgment such as determining the performance obligation in the contract and determining the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company uses key assumptions to determine the stand-alone selling price, which may include development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates, and probabilities of technical and regulatory success. Given the significant estimates depend on the development plan, these estimates could change and impact the revenue recognition. Consideration received that does not meet the requirements to satisfy the revenue recognition criteria is recorded as deferred revenue. Current deferred revenue consists of amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months. Amounts that we expect will not be recognized within the next 12 months are classified as long-term deferred revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 net revenue - collaborations and services consisted of $10.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For further information see Note 8 Collaboration and Licensing Agreements. The Company recognizes upfront license payments as revenue upon delivery of the license only if the license is determined to be a separate unit of accounting from the other undelivered performance obligations. The undelivered performance obligations typically include manufacturing or development services or research and/or steering committee services. If the license is not considered as a distinct performance obligation, then the license and other undelivered performance obligations would be accounted for as a single unit of accounting. In this case, the license payments and payments for performance obligations are recognized as revenue over the estimated period of when the performance obligations are performed. Whenever the Company determines that an arrangement should be accounted for over time as a single performance obligation, the Company determines the period over which the performance obligations will be performed, and revenue will be recognized over the period the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations. Significant management judgment is required in determining the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations under an arrangement. If the Company determines that an arrangement has multiple performance obligations, the allocation of the transaction price is determined from observable market inputs and revenue is recognized based on the measurement of progress as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s collaboration agreements typically entitle the Company to additional payments upon the achievement of development, regulatory approval and sales performance-based milestones. If the achievement of a milestone is considered probable at the inception of the collaboration, the related milestone payment is included with other collaboration consideration, such as upfront fees and research funding, in the Company’s revenue calculation. If these milestones are not considered probable at the inception of the collaboration, the milestones will typically be recognized in one of two ways depending on the timing of when the milestone is achieved. If the milestone is achieved during the performance period, the Company will only recognize revenue to the extent of the proportional performance achieved at that date, or the proportion of the ratable method achieved at that date, and the remainder will be recorded as deferred revenue to be amortized over the remaining performance period. If the milestone is achieved after the performance period has completed and all performance obligations have been delivered, the Company will recognize the milestone payment as revenue in its entirety in the period the milestone was achieved. For collaborative agreements, the Company has concluded for accounting purposes they represent contracts with customers, and are not subject to accounting literature on collaborative arrangements. This is because the Company grants to collaboration partners licenses to its intellectual property, supplies bulk FDKP and provides research and development services, all of which are outputs of the Company’s ongoing activities, in exchange for consideration. The Company does not develop assets jointly with collaboration partners, and does not share in significant risks of their development or commercialization activities. Accordingly, the Company concluded that its collaborative agreements must be accounted for pursuant to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For collaboration agreements that allow collaboration partners to select additional optioned products, the Company evaluates whether such options contain material rights, (i.e. have exercise prices that are discounted compared to what the company would charge for a similar license to a new collaboration partner). The exercise price of these options includes a combination licensing fees, event-based milestone payments and royalties. When these amounts in aggregate are not offered at a discount that exceeds discounts available to other customers, the company concludes the option does not contain a material right, and considers grants of additional licensing rights upon option exercises to be separate contracts. The Company concluded there is no material right in these options. The Company follows detailed accounting guideance in measuring revenue and certain judgments affect the application of its revenue policy. For example, in connection with its existing collaboration agreements, the Company has recorded on its consolidated balance sheets short-term and long-term deferred revenue based on its best estimate of when such revenue will be recognized. Short-term deferred revenue consists of amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months. Amounts that the Company expects will not be recognized within the next 12 months are classified as long-term deferred revenue. However, this estimate is based on the Company’s current project development plan and, if the development plan should change in the future, the Company may recognize a different amount of deferred revenue over the next 12-month period. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had current deferred payment from collaborations of $36.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively and long-term deferred payment from collaborations of $10.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to the Company’s collaborations. |
Revenue Recognition - Revenue - Other | Revenue Recognition — Revenue — Other — In 2017, other revenue consisted of $1.7 million of revenue from bulk insulin sales and $0.6 million related to the sale of intellectual property to Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial Development Co. Ltd (“Fosun”), which is accounted for under the multiple-deliverable revenue recognition guidance and more fully described in Note 9 – Sale of Intellectual Property. Revenue from bulk insulin sales are recognized after delivery and customer acceptance of the bulk insulin |
Cost of Goods Sold | Cost of Goods Sold — A significant component of cost of goods sold is current period manufacturing costs in excess of costs capitalized into inventory (excess capacity costs). These costs, in addition to the impact of the annual revaluation of inventory to standard costs (and the annual revaluation of deferred costs of commercial sales to standard costs in 2017 and 2016), and write-offs of inventory (and write-offs of deferred costs of commercial sales in 2017 and 2016) are recorded as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, rather than as a portion of inventory costs. Cost of goods sold also includes the standard cost related to Afrezza sold during the period and related variances and realized currency gain or loss in connection with the Amphastar insulin contract. The cost of goods sold also excludes the write-off of the cost of insulin held in inventory at the end of 2015. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase, that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, cash equivalents were comprised of money market accounts with maturities less than 90 days from the date of purchase. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash – The Company records restricted cash when cash and cash equivalents are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. The Company presents amounts of restricted cash that will be available for use within 12 months of the reporting date as restricted cash in current assets. Restricted cash amounts that will not be available for use in the Company’s operations within 12 months of the reporting date are presented as restricted cash in long term assets. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in high credit quality institutions. Cash equivalents consist of interest-bearing money market accounts and U.S. treasury securities, which are regularly monitored by management. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts if there are estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company makes ongoing assumptions relating to the collectability of its accounts receivable in its calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are also presented net of an allowance for product returns and trade discounts and allowances because the Company’s customers have the right of setoff for these amounts against the related accounts receivable. |
Inventories | Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with the Company’s products based on management’s judgment that future economic benefits are expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as incurred as cost of goods sold. The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value and writes down such inventories, as appropriate. In addition, the Company’s products are subject to strict quality control and monitoring which the Company performs throughout the manufacturing process. If certain batches or units of product no longer meet quality specifications or may become obsolete or are forecasted to become obsolete due to expiration, the Company will record a charge to write down such unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The inventory also excludes the cost of insulin which was previously written off, in association with the insulin purchase agreement. The Company analyzed its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value. The Company performed an assessment of projected sales and evaluated the lower of cost or net realizable value and the potential excess inventory on hand at December 31, 2018 and 2017. As a result of these assessments, the Company recorded a $2.2 million and $3.0 million charge for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to write-off inventory that may expire prior to sale. For the year ended December 31, 2016 there were no write-offs to inventory. |
Leases | Leases – The Company records rent expense for leases that contain scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term which begins with the point at which the Company obtains control and possession of the leased property. |
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets | Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets — As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of prepaid expenses for goods and services to be received and includes a certificate of deposit for $0.4 million as collateral as required by an agreement with the bank. |
Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for Sale — The Company classifies long-lived assets anticipated to be sold within one year as held for sale at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Building improvements are amortized over the estimated useful life of the improvements. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Assets under construction are not depreciated until placed into service. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Assets are considered to be impaired if the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the Company believes an asset to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined using the market, income or cost approaches as appropriate for the asset. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the asset and recognized as an operating loss. The Company recorded asset impairments of $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively (see Note 4 — Property and Equipment). |
Recognized Loss on Purchase Commitments | Recognized Loss on Purchase Commitments — The Company assesses whether losses on long term purchase commitments should be accrued. Losses that are expected to arise from firm, non-cancellable, commitments for the future purchases are recognized unless recoverable. When making the assessment, the Company also considers whether it is able to renegotiate with its vendors. The recognized loss on purchase commitments is reduced as inventory items are received. If, subsequent to an accrual, a purchase commitment is successfully renegotiated, the gain is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The balance of the recognized loss on insulin purchase commitments as of December 31 2018 and 2017 was $98.3 million and $109.3 million, respectively. |
Milestone Rights Liability | Milestone Rights Liability — On July 1, 2013, in conjunction with the execution of the Facility Agreement, the Company issued Milestone Rights to the Milestone Purchasers. The Milestone Rights provide the Milestone Purchasers certain rights to receive payments of up to $90.0 million, of which $75.0 million remain payable as of December 31, 2018, upon the occurrence of specified strategic and sales milestones, including the achievement of specified net sales figures. The Company analyzed the Milestone Rights and determined that the Milestone Agreement does not meet the definition of a freestanding derivative. Since the Company has not elected to apply the fair value option to the Milestone Agreement, the Company recorded the Milestone Rights at their estimated initial fair value and accounted for the Milestone Rights as a liability. The initial fair value estimate of the Milestone Rights was calculated using the income approach in which the cash flows associated with the specified contractual payments were adjusted for both the expected timing and the probability of achieving the milestones and discounted to present value using a selected market discount rate. The expected timing and probability of achieving the milestones was developed with consideration given to both internal data, such as progress made to date and assessment of criteria required for achievement, and external data, such as market research studies. The discount rate was selected based on an estimation of required rate of returns for similar investment opportunities using available market data. The Milestone Rights liability will be remeasured as the specified milestone events are achieved. Specifically, as each milestone event is achieved, the portion of the initially recorded Milestone Rights liability that pertains to the milestone event being achieved, will be remeasured to the amount of the specified related milestone payment. The resulting change in the balance of the Milestone Rights liability due to remeasurement will be recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as interest expense. Furthermore, the Milestone Rights liability will be reduced upon the settlement of each milestone payment. As a result, each milestone payment would be effectively allocated between a reduction of the recorded Milestone Rights liability and an expense representing a return on a portion of the Milestone Rights liability paid to the investor for the achievement of the related milestone event (see Note 7 — Borrowings). As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the remaining liability balance was $8.9 million. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The Company applies various valuation approaches in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes — The provisions for federal, foreign, state and local income taxes are calculated on pre-tax income based on current tax law and include the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce net deferred income tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. Income tax positions are considered for uncertainty. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. If a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid payment of penalties, the Company recognizes an expense for the amount of the penalty in the period the tax position is claimed in the tax return of the Company. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, if any. Penalties, if probable and reasonably estimable, are recognized as a component of income tax expense. Significant management judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. Due to uncertainties related to the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of its history of operating losses, a full valuation allowance has been established against the total deferred tax asset balance. The valuation allowance is based on management’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction in which the Company operates and the period over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or the Company adjusts these estimates in future periods, a change in the valuation allowance may be needed. See Note 16 – Income Taxes for disclosure on the tax laws enacted in December 2017. |
Contingencies | Contingencies — The Company records a loss contingency for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These accruals represent management’s best estimate of probable loss. Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the recorded provision. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its estimates. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation — Share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based awards and the compensatory elements of employee stock purchase plans, are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based upon the fair value of the awards at the grant date subject to an estimated forfeiture rate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of employee stock options and the compensatory elements of employee stock purchase plans. Restricted stock units are valued based on the market price on the grant date. The Company evaluates stock awards with performance conditions as to the probability that the performance conditions will be met and estimates the date at which the performance conditions will be met in order to properly recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. |
Warrants | Warrants — The Company accounts for its warrants as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument and evaluation of sufficient authorized shares available to satisfy the obligations. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date, with fair value changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Other comprehensive income (loss) requires that all components of comprehensive income (loss) to be reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes certain changes in stockholders’ equity that are excluded from net income (loss). Specifically, the Company includes unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange translation gains and losses resulting from translating cash and cash accounts in foreign currencies in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets. |
Research and Development Expenses | Research and Development Expenses — Research and development expenses consist of costs associated with the clinical trials of the Company’s product candidates, development supplies and other development materials, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, costs for consultants and related contract research, facility costs, and depreciation. Research and development costs, which are net of any tax credit exchange recognized for the Connecticut state research and development credit exchange program, are expensed as incurred. |
Clinical Trial Expenses | Clinical Trial Expenses — Clinical trial expenses, which are reflected in research and development expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, result from obligations under contracts with vendors, consultants and clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company under such contracts. The appropriate level of trial expenses are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements by matching period expenses with period services and efforts expended. These expenses are recorded according to the progress of the trial as measured by patient progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. Clinical trial accrual estimates are determined through discussions with internal clinical personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of completion of trials, or the services completed. Service provider status is then compared to the contractually obligated fee to be paid for such services. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company may adjust the rate of clinical expense recognized if actual results differ from management’s estimates. |
Interest Expense | Interest Expense — Interest costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent such interest is related to construction in progress, in which case interest is capitalized. There were no capitalized interest costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. |
Net Income or (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock | Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock — Basic net income or loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution under the treasury method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For periods where the Company has presented a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive. |
Impact of Adoption of the New Revenue Guidance | In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The standard requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services when transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional ASUs which clarified certain aspects of the new guidance. The new guidance also requires disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The Company applied the new revenue guidance using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts with the cumulative effect of initial application recognized as of January 1, 2018. Revenue amounts and comparative information prior to this adoption date have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be accounted for under the previous accounting guidance. The previous accounting guidance required the Company to reliably estimate returns in order to recognize revenue upon shipment. While the Company could estimate returns within a range, it was not sufficiently precise to meet those requirements. Accordingly, under the previous guidance, the Company deferred recognition of revenue on Afrezza product deliveries to wholesalers until the right of return no longer existed, which occurred at the earlier of the time Afrezza was dispensed from pharmacies to patients or expiration of the right of return. Therefore, for deliveries to wholesalers, the Company recognized revenue based on estimated Afrezza patient prescriptions dispensed, a sell-through model. Upon adoption of the new revenue guidance, the Company moved from the sell-through model to a sell-to model for revenue related to commercial sales of Afrezza to wholesalers and now records revenue when its customers take control of the product along with an estimate of potential returns as variable consideration. For sales of Afrezza to specialty pharmacies, the Company previously recognized revenue at the time of shipment because specialty pharmacies generally purchase on demand and estimated returns are minimal. Therefore, there was no impact upon adoption for sales to specialty pharmacies. Additionally, the Company has historically entered into collaborative agreements and sales of intellectual property to third parties under which periodic payments have been received. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05 Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets to ASC Subtopic 610-20, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets The cumulative effect of the changes made to the consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of the new revenue guidance was as follows (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2017 Adjustments due to new revenue guidance Balance at January 1, 2018 Assets Accounts receivable, net $ 2,789 $ (111 ) (1) $ 2,678 Deferred costs from commercial product sales 405 (405 ) (2) — Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 12,449 $ 649 (3) $ 13,098 Deferred revenue, net 3,038 (3,038 ) (4) — Equity Accumulated deficit $ (2,854,898 ) $ 1,873 (5) $ (2,853,025 ) (1) To establish a reserve for product returns (2) To eliminate deferred costs from commercial product sales previously required by the sell-through method (3) To record additional accrual for estimated voucher payments related to inventory remaining in the distribution channel at January 1, 2018 (4) To eliminate deferred revenue previously required by the sell-through method (5) To record the net impact of (1)-(4) in opening accumulated deficit In accordance with the new revenue guidance, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on the consolidated balance sheet consolidated statement of operations and cash flows was as follows (in thousands): Consolidated Balance Sheet For the year December 31, 2018 As Reported Adjustments Balances without adoption of Topic 606 Assets Accounts receivable, net $ 4,017 $ 314 $ 4,331 Deferred costs from commercial product sales — 875 875 Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 15,022 $ (751 ) $ 14,271 Deferred revenue, net — 3,937 3,937 Equity Accumulated deficit $ (2,940,000 ) $ (1,997 ) $ (2,941,997 ) Consolidated Statement of Operations For the year December 31, 2018 As Reported Adjustments Balances without adoption of Topic 606 Revenue Net revenue - commercial product sales $ 17,276 $ (486 ) $ 16,790 Expenses Cost of goods sold $ 19,402 $ (754 ) $ 18,648 Net loss (86,975 ) (267 ) (87,242 ) For the year ended December 31, 2018 As Reported Adjustments Balances without adoption of Topic 606 Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net loss $ (86,975 ) $ (267 ) $ (87,242 ) Change in: Accounts receivable, net (1,339 ) 2,567 1,228 Deferred costs from commercial product sales — 470 470 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 2,249 (751 ) 1,498 Deferred revenue, net — (899 ) (899 ) Cash (used in) provided by operating activities (37,731 ) 1,120 (36,611 ) |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards — From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and in July of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.” The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance provides lessors with an election to combine the lease and non-lease components of a contract, if certain conditions are met, and account for the combined component in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASU 2014-09 if the non-lease component is the prominent component of the contract. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires using a modified retrospective transition method. However, the Company has elected to apply a practical expedient offered in the updated guidance which allows entities to apply the guidance on January 1, 2019 and comparative periods are not restated. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases starting at the effective date using an optional approach. The new standard will be effective on January 1, 2019 and will result in an increase of assets and liabilities of approximately $5.0 million. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) |
