PHATHOM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or the Company or Phathom, was incorporated in the state of Delaware in January 2018. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel treatments for gastrointestinal diseases. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

On October 27, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved the prior approval supplements to the Company's new drug applications, or NDAs, for VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK. Additionally, on November 1, 2023, the FDA approved the Company's NDA for VOQUEZNA tablets. As a result, the Company initiated commercial launch for VOQUEZNA for both the Erosive GERD and H. pylori indications, and VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK for treatment of H. pylori infection in the fourth quarter of 2023.

On July 17, 2024, the FDA approved the NDA supplement, or sNDA, for VOQUEZNA 10 mg tablets for the relief of heartburn associated with Non-Erosive GERD.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception to June 30, 2024, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, raising capital, in-licensing its initial and approved product candidate, vonoprazan, meeting with regulatory authorities, managing the clinical trials of vonoprazan, preparing for commercialization of its initial products containing vonoprazan, commercially launching its approved products, and providing other selling, general and administrative support for these operations. The Company has a limited operating history, has generated limited revenue to date, and the sales and income potential of its business is unproven. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception and expects to continue to incur additional net losses in the future. The Company has funded its operations primarily through commercial bank debt, the revenue interest financing debt and various equity offerings, including the Company's at-the-market, or ATM, offerings. From inception through June 30, 2024, the Company sold 26,041,380 shares of common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $421.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Management is required to perform a two-step analysis over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management must first evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (Step 1). If management concludes that substantial doubt is raised, management is also required to consider whether its plans alleviate that doubt (Step 2).

Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding, if needed, that the Company’s projections of its future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for net product revenues, research and development expenses, and the valuation for the revenue interest financing liability. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

F-5


 

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, are classified within the Level 1 designation discussed above, while accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

The Company has no financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. None of the Company’s non-financial assets or liabilities are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No transfers between levels have occurred during the periods presented.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated the carrying amount given its floating interest rate basis. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated for disclosure purposes only and was determined based on quoted market data for valuation, and thus categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking accounts and money market funds. Restricted cash primarily consists of cash deposited by the Company to secure corporate leased vehicles.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers, primarily wholesale distributors, net of customer allowances for prompt pay discounts, distribution service fees, and other adjustments. Our contracts with customers have standard payment terms. The Company assesses the need for an allowance for credit losses primarily based on creditworthiness, historical payment experience and general economic conditions. The Company has not experienced any credit losses to date given our limited commercial operations with any of its customers, and has not currently recognized a material allowance for credit losses.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

The Company is also subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales. The Company monitors exposure within accounts receivable and records a reserve against uncollectible accounts receivable as necessary. The Company extends credit primarily to wholesale distributors. Customer creditworthiness is monitored and collateral is not required. The allowance for credit losses reflects the best estimate of expected credit losses of the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, current information, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company determines its allowance methodology by pooling receivable balances at the customer level. The Company considers various factors, including its previous loss history, individual credit risk associated to each customer, and the current and future conditions of the general economy. These credit risk factors are monitored on a quarterly basis and updated as necessary. To the extent that any individual

F-6


 

debtor is identified whose credit quality has deteriorated, the Company establishes allowances based on the individual risk characteristics of such customer. The Company makes concerted efforts to collect all outstanding balances due from customers; however, account balances are charged off against the allowance when management believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers.

As of June 30, 2024, three customers accounted for 84% of the accounts receivable balance, with each of these individual customers ranging from 24% to 30% of the accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2023, three customers accounted for 87% of the accounts receivable balance, with each of these individual customers ranging from 28% to 30% of the accounts receivable balance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, three customers accounted for 67% and 68% of the product sales, respectively, with each of these individual customers ranging from 21% to 24% of the product sales in both periods.

Inventory

The Company capitalizes inventory costs related to products to be sold in the ordinary course of business. The Company makes a determination of capitalizing inventory costs for a product based on, among other factors, status of regulatory approval, information regarding safety, efficacy and expectations relating to commercial sales and recoverability of costs. Inventory consists of bulk active pharmaceutical ingredients that are used to manufacture vonoprazan tablets. Inventory related to indications prior to regulatory approval has been included in research and development expense in the period of purchase.

The Company states its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company measures inventory cost using actual cost under a first-in, first-out basis. The Company assesses recoverability of inventory each reporting period to determine any write-down to net realizable value resulting from excess or obsolete inventories. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $0.2 million of charges for inventory not expected to be sold prior to its expiration date. No inventory adjustments or charges were recorded in the comparable prior periods.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. Computer equipment and related software are depreciated over two to three years. Equipment is depreciated over five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in loss from operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. The impairment loss, if recognized, would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its respective fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets consist of deposits relating to our co-pay and patient support programs and security deposits on our leased properties.

Leases

At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time. If both criteria are met, the Company records the associated lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset upon commencement of the lease using the implicit rate or a discount rate based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. The Company additionally evaluates leases at their inception to determine if they are to be accounted for as an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is accounted for as a finance lease if it meets one of the following five criteria: the lease has a purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised, the present value of the future cash flows is substantially all of the fair market value of the underlying asset, the lease term is for a

F-7


 

significant portion of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, the title to the underlying asset transfers at the end of the lease term, or if the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative uses to the lessor at the end of the term. Leases that do not meet the finance lease criteria are accounted for as an operating lease. Operating lease assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities with a term greater than one year and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recognized on the balance sheet at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. As the Company’s leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, determined as the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are recognized as operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments primarily include common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating costs that are passed on from the lessor in proportion to the space leased by the Company. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate between lease and non-lease components.

Revenue Interest Financing Liability

The Company entered into a revenue interest financing agreement, or the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, with entities managed or advised by NovaQuest Capital Management, or NQ, Sagard Holdings Manager LP, or Sagard, and Hercules Capital, Inc., or Hercules, together with NQ and Sagard, the Initial Investors, in which the Company received funds in return for royalties on net sales of products containing vonoprazan, in May 2022. Subsequently, in October 2022, the Company entered into a Joinder Agreement with the Initial Investors and CO Finance LVS XXXVII LLC, or the Additional Investor, together as the Investors. The net proceeds received under the transactions are recognized as short-term and long-term liabilities with interest expense based on an imputed effective rate derived from the expected future payments to the Investors. The Company recalculates the effective interest rate each period based on the current carrying value and the revised estimated future payments to the Investors. Changes in future payments to the Investors from previous estimates are included in current and future interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The Company records the amount of revenue that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services that it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations it must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when that performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

Product Revenue, Net

The Company sells its product to its customers, primarily wholesale distributors, in the United States. The Company’s customers subsequently resell the products to pharmacies and health care providers. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes net product revenues from sales when the customers obtain control of the Company’s products, which typically occurs upon delivery to the customer.

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from (a) invoice discounts for prompt payment and distribution service fees, (b) government and private payor rebates, chargebacks, discounts and fees, (c) product returns and (d) costs of co-pay assistance programs for patients, as well as other incentives for certain indirect customers. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. The reserves are classified as reductions to accounts receivable, net if payable to a customer or accrued expenses if payable to a third-party or related to product returns. Where appropriate, the Company utilizes

F-8


 

the expected value method to determine the appropriate amount for estimates of variable consideration based on factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in net product revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Distribution Service Fees: The Company engages with wholesalers to distribute its products to end customers. The Company pays the wholesalers a fee for services such as: Data Reporting, Inventory Management, Chargeback Administration and Service Level Commitment. The Company estimates the amount of distribution services fees to be paid to the customers based on a contractually fixed percentage of wholesaler acquisition costs and are calculated at the time of sale based on the purchase amount and the transaction price is adjusted with the amount of such estimate at the time of sale to the customer. Estimated distribution service fees are recorded within accounts receivable, net on the balance sheet.

Prompt Pay Discounts: The Company provides its customers with a percentage discount on their invoice if the customers pay within the agreed upon timeframe. The Company estimates the probability of customers paying promptly and the percentage of discount outlined in the agreement, and deducts the full amount of these discounts. Estimated prompt pay discounts are recorded within accounts receivable, net on the balance sheet.

Product Returns: The Company provides customers a return credit in the amount of the purchase price paid by customers for all products returned in accordance with the Company’s returned goods policy. In the initial sales period, the Company estimates its provision for sales returns based on industry data and adjusts the transaction price with such estimate at the time of sale to the customer. Once sufficient history has been collected for product returns, the Company will utilize that history to inform its estimate assumptions. Once the product is returned, it is destroyed. The Company does not record a right-of-return asset. Estimated product returns are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

Chargebacks: A chargeback is the difference between the manufacturer's invoice price to the wholesaler and the contract price the wholesaler’s customer has negotiated directly with the manufacturer. The wholesaler tracks these sales and "charges back" the manufacturer for the difference between the negotiated prices paid between the wholesaler's customers and wholesaler's acquisition cost. The Company estimates the percentage of goods sold that are eligible for chargeback and adjusts the transaction price for such discount at the time of sale to the customer. Estimated chargebacks are recorded within accounts receivable, net on the balance sheet.

Administration Fees: The Company engages with Pharmacy Benefit Managers, or PBMs, to administer prescription-drug plans for people with third-party insurance through a self-insured employer, health insurance plan, labor union or government plan. The Company pays PBMs “administrative fees” for their role in providing utilization data, administering rebates, and administering claims payments. The Company estimates the amount of administration fees to be paid to PBMs and adjusts the transaction price with the amount of such estimate at the time of sale to the customer. Estimated administration fees are recorded within accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

Rebates: Rebates apply to:

Medicaid, managed care, and supplemental rebates to all applicable states as defined by the statutory government pricing calculation requirements under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, and
Medicare Part D and Commercial Managed Care rebates are paid based on the contracts with PBMs and Managed Care Organizations. Rebates are paid to these entities upon receipt of an invoice from the contracted entity which is based on the utilization of the product by the members of the contracted entity.

The Company estimates the percentage of goods sold that are eligible for rebates and adjusts the transaction price for such discounts at the time of sale to the customers. Estimated rebates are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

Coverage Gap: The Medicare Part D coverage gap, also called the donut hole, is a period of consumer payment for prescription medication costs which lies between the initial coverage limit and the catastrophic-coverage threshold, when the patient is a member of a Medicare Part D prescription-drug program administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Company estimates the percentage of goods sold under Coverage Gap and adjusts the transaction price for such discount at the time of sale to the customer. Estimated coverage gap accruals are recorded as accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

F-9


 

The Company makes significant estimates and judgments that materially affect its recognition of net product revenue. Claims by third-party payors for rebates, chargebacks and discounts frequently are submitted to the Company significantly after the related sales, potentially resulting in adjustments in the period in which the new information becomes known. The Company will adjust its estimates based on new information, including information regarding actual rebates, chargebacks, co-pays and discounts for its products, as it becomes available.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the cost of producing and distributing inventories that are related to product sales. This also includes royalties payable to Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda, pursuant to the Takeda License Agreement (Refer to Note 4 for further details). In addition, shipping and handling costs for product sales are recorded as incurred. Cost of revenue also includes costs related to excess or obsolete inventory adjustment charges.

In connection with the FDA approvals of VOQUEZNA, VOQUEZNA TRIPLE PAK, and VOQUEZNA DUAL PAK, the Company began capitalizing inventory manufactured by or purchased from third parties. Prior to receiving FDA approvals, manufacturing costs related to inventory purchased were expensed as research and development expense and therefore are excluded from cost of revenue during the current periods. These previously expensed costs were not material.

Research and Development Expenses and Accruals

All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred and consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, stock-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in research and development efforts, external research and development costs incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, and consultants to conduct and support the Company’s ongoing clinical trials of vonoprazan, and costs related to manufacturing vonoprazan for clinical trials.

The Company has entered into various research and development contracts with clinical research organizations, clinical manufacturing organizations and other companies. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and payments made in advance of or after performance are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as prepaid expenses or accrued liabilities, respectively. The Company records accruals for estimated costs incurred for ongoing research and development activities. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes progress of the services, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Significant judgments and estimates may be made in determining the prepaid or accrued balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in commercial, executive, finance, accounting, information technology, legal, medical affairs and human resources functions.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were approximately $16.7 million and $23.5 million, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising and marketing costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of equity awards recognized over the requisite service period of the awards (generally the vesting period) on a straight-line basis with forfeitures recognized as they occur.

The Company also maintains an employee stock purchase program, or ESPP, under which it may issue shares. The Company estimates the fair value of shares that will be issued under the ESPP, and of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of estimates. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost for shares that it will issue under the ESPP on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

 

F-10


 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes net deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If management determines that the Company would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, management would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process whereby (i) management determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, management recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. Any accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability.

Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminates the option to deduct research and development expenditures currently and requires taxpayers to amortize domestic and foreign research and development expenditures over 5 years and 15 years, respectively. The requirement did not impact cash from operations in the periods presented.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss was the same as its reported net loss for all periods presented.

Segment Reporting

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 on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had no weighted-average unvested shares to exclude from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, compared to 7,334 and 69,578, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of unvested common stock, options and warrants. For the periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding as inclusion of the potentially dilutive securities (warrants, stock options, and common shares subject to repurchase) would be antidilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no recently adopted accounting standards which would have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies on the Company's financial statements as well as material updates to previous assessments, if any, from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no new material accounting standards issued in the second quarter of 2024 that impacted the Company.

3. Commitments and Contingencies

License Agreement

On May 7, 2019, the Company entered into the Takeda License. The Company also has the right to sublicense its rights under the agreement, subject to certain conditions. The agreement will remain in effect, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, until the later of (i) the expiration of the last to expire valid patent claim covering vonoprazan fumarate alone or in combination with at least one other therapeutically active ingredient, (ii) the expiration of the applicable regulatory exclusivity and (iii) 15 years from the date of first commercial sale, unless earlier terminated. The Company may terminate the Takeda License upon six months’ written notice. The Company and Takeda may terminate the Takeda License in the case of the other party’s insolvency or material uncured breach. Takeda may terminate the Takeda License if the Company challenges, or assists in challenging, licensed patents.

In consideration of the Takeda License, the Company (i) paid Takeda $25 million in cash, (ii) issued Takeda 1,084,000 shares of its common stock at a fair value of $5.9 million, (iii) issued the Takeda Warrant to purchase 7,588,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.00004613 per share at an initial fair value of $47.9 million, and (iv) issued a right to receive an additional common stock warrant, or the Takeda Warrant Right, should Takeda’s fully-diluted ownership of the Company represent less than a certain specified percentage of the fully-diluted capitalization, including shares issuable upon conversion of then outstanding convertible promissory notes, calculated immediately before the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, or IPO, with a nominal initial fair value due to the low probability of issuance. The Takeda Warrant Right expired without effect since no fair value had been allocated to it upon completion of the IPO, and no additional warrant was issued. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Takeda up to an aggregate of $250 million in sales milestones upon the achievement of specified levels of product sales, and a low double-digit royalty rate on aggregate net sales of licensed products, subject to certain adjustments. The Takeda Warrant had an exercise price of $0.00004613 per share, and was to expire on May 7, 2029 and became exercisable upon the consummation of the IPO. All Takeda Warrants were exercised by March 2022.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of royalty expense under the Takeda License, of which $0.7 million is included within accrued expenses as of June 30, 2024.

Purchase Commitments

In December 2020, the Company entered into a supply agreement with Sandoz pursuant to which Sandoz will supply commercial quantities of amoxicillin capsules and clarithromycin tablets, package these antibiotics with vonoprazan, and provide in finished convenience packs. The supply agreement commits the Company to a minimum purchase obligation of €2.9 million, or approximately $3.2 million, in the first 24-month period following the launch of the final product. The Company incurred no expenses under the agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As of June 30, 2024, €2.6 million, or approximately $2.8 million, remains of the minimum purchase obligation.

Contingencies

In the event the Company becomes subject to claims or suits arising in the ordinary course of business, the Company would accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

4. Lease Commitments

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had operating leases for office space in both Buffalo Grove, Illinois and Florham Park, New Jersey, with weighted average remaining lease terms of 0.8 years and 1.2 years, respectively. All operating leases contain an option to extend the term for one additional five year period, which was not considered in the determination of the right-of-use asset or lease liability as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain that it would exercise such options.

The total rent expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.3 million. Total rent expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.6 million. Total short-term lease costs relating to leased vehicles was approximately $2.8 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and was not material for either of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

On September 17, 2021, or the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the Loan Agreement, with Hercules Capital, Inc., in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent and as a lender, or, in such capacity, the Agent or Hercules, and the other financial institutions that from time to time become parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders, or, collectively, the Lenders.

The Loan Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million, or the Term Loan, under multiple tranches. The tranches consist of (i) a first tranche consisting of term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, all of which was funded on the Closing Date, or the First Advance, (ii) a second tranche consisting of up to an additional $50 million, (iii) a third and fourth tranches consisting of an additional total $50 million, which became available in May 2022.

On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, or the Second Loan Amendment, pursuant to which the date the second tranche of funding of $50 million was available to the Company and has been moved until May 15, 2023, rather than December 15, 2022.

On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Third Loan Amendment, with the lenders, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the second tranche availability was extended from through May 15, 2023, to through December 15, 2023, and became available on October 1, 2023, (ii) the third tranche availability was extended from through September 30, 2023, to through December 15, 2023, and became available on October 1, 2023, (iii) the effective date of the performance covenants was amended to provide an option to extend the covenant trigger date to May 15, 2024, subject to the achievement of the FDA approval of vonoprazan for Erosive GERD or the EE Milestone, prior to February 15, 2024, and (iv) the warrant agreement with Hercules was amended as described below. On November 1, 2023, the EE Milestone was achieved and the covenant trigger date was extended to May 15, 2024. In connection with the Third Loan Amendment, a tranche extension amendment fee of $150,000 and a covenant extension amendment fee of $100,000 was paid to the Agent. These fees have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loan.

On December 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Fourth Loan Amendment, with the lenders, which, among other things, (i) increases the aggregate principal amount of the term loans from $200 million to $300 million; (ii) provides for the possibility of accessing the remaining $200 million commitment through five tranches

F-14


 

referred to as the second through sixth tranches, which are available subject to certain milestones and conditions: (a) Second Tranche: $50 million, $40 million of which was funded on December 14, 2023, available through March 15, 2024, (b) Third Tranche: $25 million available through June 15, 2024, (c) Fourth Tranche: $25 million available through December 15, 2024, (d) Fifth Tranche: $50 million available, subject to the achievement of a specified revenue milestone, or the Fifth Tranche milestone, through June 30, 2025, and (e) Sixth Tranche: $50 million available, subject to the achievement of a specific revenue milestone, or the Sixth Tranche milestone, through December 31, 2025; (iii) extends the interest only period and the maturity date from October 2026 to December 2027, (iv) reduces the cash interest rate from 10.75% (floating annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.50% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 2.25% to 9.85% (floating rate based on the greater of (a) 9.85% or (b) US WSJ Prime + 1.35%), provided that the cash interest rate shall be capped at 10.35% and upon the Company achieving the Sixth Tranche milestone, the cash interest floating rated shall be decreased by 0.35% to 9.50%, and (v) decreases the payment-in-kind interest rate from 3.35% per annum to 2.15% per annum. In connection with the Fourth Loan Amendment, an amendment fee of $250,000 was paid to the Agent and was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loan.

On March 15, 2024, the Company drew down on the remaining $10 million available under the Second Tranche. In addition, on June 14, 2024, the Company drew down the $25 million available under the Third Tranche.

The Term Loan will mature on December 1, 2027, or the Maturity Date. The Term Loan bears (i) cash interest at a variable annual rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.85% and (b) the Prime Rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 1.35%, or the Interest Rate, and (ii) payment-in-kind interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to 2.15%. The Company may make payments of interest only through the Maturity Date. After the interest-only period, the principal balance and related interest will be required to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.

In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a final payment fee of 7.50% of the original principal amount of amounts actually advanced under the Term Loan, or each a Term Loan Advance and together, the Term Loan Advances. In connection with the Fourth Loan Amendment, the final payment fee was amended to be $1 million plus 3.00% of any future tranche drawdowns under the agreement, due upon final maturity. Additionally, the initial final payment fee for the first term Loan advance was amended to become payable on October 1, 2026. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate final payment fee for the first Term Loan Advance of $7.5 million, $2.2 million for the second Term Loan Advance, and $0.8 million for the third Term Loan Advance have been recorded within other long-term liabilities.

Under the Fourth Loan Amendment the Company may elect to prepay all or a portion of the Term Loan Advances prior to maturity, subject to a prepayment fee of up to 1.25% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances being prepaid when such prepayment occurs prior to October 1, 2026, or 0.50% if such prepayment occurs on or after October 1, 2026. After repayment, no Term Loan amounts may be borrowed again.

As collateral for the obligations, the Company has granted to Hercules a senior security interest in all of Company’s right, title, and interest in, to and under substantially all of Company’s property, inclusive of intellectual property.

The Loan Agreement contains customary closing fees, prepayment fees and provisions, events of default, and representations, warranties and covenants, including financial covenants. The financial covenants under the Fourth Loan Amendment include (i) a minimum cash covenant and (ii) a performance covenant as follows:

(i)
Minimum cash covenant - The Company must maintain a minimum cash balance of 20% of the outstanding principal balance at all times. The minimum cash balance may be increased to 35% or
