SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections for such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on currently available information. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements.” Terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “likely,” “look forward to,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “slate,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding:
● | our estimates of future operating expenses and projections regarding how long our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, royalty receipts and potential revenues will fund our anticipated operating expenses, capital expenditures and debt service obligations; |
● | our expectations related to future royalties potentially payable to us under the terms of the asset purchase agreement under which we divested our former commercial ophthalmology product OMIDRIA®; |
● | our expectations regarding clinical plans and anticipated or potential paths to regulatory approval of narsoplimab by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“HSCT-TMA”), immunoglobulin A (“IgA”) nephropathy, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (“aHUS”) and COVID-19; |
● | whether and when a marketing authorization application (“MAA”) may be filed with the EMA for narsoplimab in any indication, and whether the EMA will grant approval for narsoplimab in any indication; |
● | our plans for the commercial launch of narsoplimab following any regulatory approval and our estimates and expectations regarding coverage and reimbursement for any approved products; |
● | our expectation that we will rely on contract manufacturers to manufacture narsoplimab, if approved, for commercial sale and to manufacture our drug candidates for purposes of clinical supply and in anticipation of potential commercialization; |
● | our expectations regarding the clinical, therapeutic and competitive benefits and importance of our drug candidates; |
● | our ability to design, initiate and/or successfully complete clinical trials and other studies for our drug candidates and our plans and expectations regarding our ongoing or planned clinical trials, including for our lead MASP-2 inhibitor narsoplimab and for our other investigational candidates, including OMS906, OMS1029 and OMS527; |
● | with respect to our narsoplimab clinical programs, our expectations regarding: whether enrollment in any ongoing or planned clinical trial will proceed as expected; whether we can capitalize on the financial and regulatory incentives provided by orphan drug designations granted by FDA, the European Commission (“EC”), or the EMA; and whether we can capitalize on the regulatory incentives provided by fast-track or breakthrough therapy designations granted by FDA; |
● | our ability to raise additional capital through the capital markets or through one or more corporate partnerships, equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements or asset sales; |
● | our expectations about the commercial competition that our drug candidates, if commercialized, face or may face; |
● | the expected course and costs of existing claims, legal proceedings and administrative actions, our involvement in potential claims, legal proceedings and administrative actions, and the merits, potential outcomes and effects of both existing and potential claims, legal proceedings and administrative actions, as well as regulatory determinations, on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations; |
● | the extent of protection that our patents provide and that our pending patent applications will provide, if patents are issued from such applications, for our technologies, programs, and drug candidates; |
● | the factors on which we base our estimates for accounting purposes and our expectations regarding the effect of changes in accounting guidance or standards on our operating results; and |
● | our expected financial position, performance, revenues, growth, costs and expenses, magnitude of net losses and the availability of resources. |
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, actual results or anticipated developments may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to or effects on our company, business or operations. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual results in subsequent periods may differ materially from current expectations. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
General
Omeros Corporation (“Omeros,” the “Company” or “we”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to discovering, developing and commercializing small-molecule and protein therapeutics for large-market as well as orphan indications targeting immunologic disorders, including complement-mediated diseases, cancers and addictive and compulsive disorders. We marketed our first drug product, OMIDRIA® (phenylephrine and ketorolac intraocular solution) 1% / 0.3% for use during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement in the United States (the “U.S.”) until we sold OMIDRIA and related assets on December 23, 2021 (see “Sale of OMIDRIA Assets” below for additional information).
The lead drug candidate in our pipeline of complement-targeted therapeutics is narsoplimab, a proprietary, patented human monoclonal antibody targeting mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 (“MASP-2”), the key activator of the lectin pathway of complement. Clinical development of narsoplimab is currently focused primarily on hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (“HSCT-TMA”) and immunoglobulin A (“IgA”) nephropathy. Our pipeline of clinical-stage development programs includes: our long-acting MASP-2 inhibitor OMS1029, our inhibitor of mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-3 (“MASP-3”) OMS906 and our phophodiesterase 7 (PDE7) inhibitor OMS527.
Sale of OMIDRIA Assets
On December 23, 2021, we sold our commercial product OMIDRIA and certain related assets including inventory and prepaid expenses to Rayner Surgical Inc. (“Rayner”). Rayner paid us $
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement with Rayner (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), we were entitled to receive a milestone payment of $
As a result of the divestiture, the results of OMIDRIA operations (e.g., revenues and operating costs) are included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented (see “Note 3 – Discontinued Operations”).
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Omeros and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $
-9-
provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $
Historically, we have incurred net losses from continuing operations and negative operating cash flows. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs and, therefore, could need to raise additional capital to accomplish our business plan and to retire our outstanding convertible senior notes due in 2026. We plan to continue to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months with our existing cash and investments, royalties from Rayner and our outstanding accounts receivable. If FDA approves narsoplimab for treatment of any indication within the next twelve months, then sales of narsoplimab may also provide funds for our operations. We have a sales agreement in place for an “at the market” equity offering facility through which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock equaling an aggregate amount up to $
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates include OMIDRIA contract royalty asset valuation, stock-based compensation expense, and accruals for clinical trials and manufacturing of drug product. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
OMIDRIA Royalties, Milestones and Contract Royalty Assets
We have rights to receive future royalties from Rayner on OMIDRIA net sales at royalty rates that vary based on geography and certain regulatory contingencies. Therefore, future OMIDRIA royalties are treated as variable consideration. The sale of OMIDRIA qualified as an asset sale under GAAP. To measure the OMIDRIA contract royalty asset we used the expected value approach which is the sum of the discounted probability-weighted royalty payment we would receive using a range of potential outcomes to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative income recognized will not occur. As contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the royalty rate applicable to U.S. net sales of OMIDRIA was reduced from
OMIDRIA Royalty Obligation
On September 30, 2022, we sold to DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP (“DRI”) an interest in a portion of our future OMIDRIA royalty receipts for a purchase price of $
The $
-10-
To the extent our estimates of future royalties differ materially from previous estimates, we will adjust the carrying amount of the liability for future OMIDRIA royalties to the present value of the revised estimated cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of
Inventory
We expense inventory costs related to product candidates as research and development expenses until regulatory approval is reasonably assured in the U.S. or the European Union (“EU”). Once approval is reasonably assured, costs, including amounts related to third-party manufacturing, transportation and internal labor and overhead, will be capitalized.
Right-of-Use Assets and Related Lease Liabilities
We record operating leases as right-of-use assets and recognize the related lease liabilities equal to the fair value of the lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate in the lease agreement is not readily available. We recognize variable lease payments, when incurred. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
We record finance lease obligations as a component of property and equipment and amortize these assets within operating expenses on a straight-line basis to their residual values over the shorter of the term of the underlying lease or the estimated useful life of the equipment. The interest component of finance lease obligations is included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.
We account for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less as an operating expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments, including grants of stock option awards and restricted stock units (“RSU”) based on estimated fair values. The fair value of our stock is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires judgmental assumptions around volatility, risk-free rates, forfeiture rates and expected option life. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period, using the straight-line method. Forfeiture expense is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Note 3—Discontinued Operations
On December 23, 2021, we sold OMIDRIA and certain related assets including inventory and prepaid expenses to Rayner.
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the achievement of the Milestone Event in December 2022 triggered a $

specific period in which OMIDRIA is no longer eligible for separate payment, the U.S. base royalty rate would be further reduced to
The sale of OMIDRIA and related assets was recorded as an asset sale. Additionally, the results of operations related to OMIDRIA are recorded as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options, RSUs and unsecured convertible senior notes. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:
Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
