NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

TG Therapeutics is a fully-integrated, commercial stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell mediated diseases. TG has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BRIUMVI® (ublituximab-xiiy) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease, in adults, as well as approval by the European Commission (EC) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for BRIUMVI to treat adult patients with RMS who have active disease defined by clinical or imaging features in Europe and the United Kingdom (UK), respectively. We also actively evaluate complementary products, technologies and companies for in-licensing, partnership, acquisition and/or investment opportunities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, we have incurred operating losses since our inception; however, during the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 the Company generated net income. During the years ended December 31, 2023, the Company experienced a net profit due to a $140.0 million non-refundable upfront payment recognized as license revenue in the third quarter of 2023 as part of our Commercialization Agreement with Neuraxpharm (see Note 2 for more information). While we have recently generated net income, we have incurred significant operating losses since our inception, and we may incur losses in the future. As of December 31, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $1.5 billion.

Our major sources of cash have been proceeds from private placements and public offerings of equity securities, from our loan and security agreements, the upfront payment from the Commercialization Agreement (see Note 2 for more information), and from product revenue from drug sales of BRIUMVI. Substantially all our operating losses have resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from selling, general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including our commercialization activities. For the year ended  December 31, 2024, we generated $313.7 million in product revenue from drug sales of BRIUMVI. BRIUMVI first became commercially available in the United States in January of 2023. We also began shipping BRIUMVI to our ex-U.S. licensing partner, Neuraxpharm, in November 2023. Even with the commercialization of BRIUMVI and the possible future commercialization of our other drug candidates, we may not realize continued profitability. Our ability to achieve continued profitability depends on our ability to generate revenue and many other factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our drug candidates alone or in partnership; successfully complete any post-approval regulatory obligations; and our ability to maintain or obtain regulatory approval for our drug candidates. We may incur operating losses even now that we are generating revenues from BRIUMVI. 

As of December 31, 2024, we had $311.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investment securities. We anticipate that our cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities as of December 31, 2024, combined with projected revenues associated with the sale of BRIUMVI in the U.S. and ex-U.S.,  will provide sufficient liquidity for more than a twelve-month period from the date of filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The actual amount of cash that we will need to operate is subject to many factors, including, but not limited to, our commercialization efforts for BRIUMVI and the timing, design and conduct of clinical trials for our drug candidates as well as the costs associated with licensing or otherwise acquiring new product candidates. We may be dependent upon significant future financing to provide the cash necessary to execute our ongoing and future operations, including the commercialization of any of our drug candidates.

Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trades under the symbol “TGTX.”

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the applicable reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, accrued clinical trial expenses and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such differences could be material to the financial statements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We treat liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.

RESTRICTED CASH

We record cash pledged or held in trust as restricted cash. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have approximately $1.3 million of restricted cash pledged to secure a line of credit as a security deposit for an Office Agreement (see Note 7).

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities at December 31, 2024 and 2023 consist of short-term government securities. We classify these securities as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which we have the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method.

A decline in the market value of any investment security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to operations and a new cost basis for the security is established. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are included in interest and other income (expense), net. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

Our equity securities consist of common stock of Precision BioSciences, Inc. (Precision). Equity securities are recognized at their fair value in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. Forward contracts to purchase equity securities that do not qualify as derivatives under ASC 815 are accounted for in accordance with ASC 321. These forward contracts are recorded at fair value at the balance sheet date. See Note 5 for further details.

CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed federally-insured limits.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Pursuant to Topic 606, we recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, Topic 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes i) identifying the contract with a customer, ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, iii) determining the transaction price, iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and v) recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and determine those that are performance obligations. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Product Revenue, Net – The Company recognizes product revenues, net of variable consideration related to certain allowances and accruals, when the customer takes control of the product, which is typically upon delivery to the customer. Product revenue is recorded at the net sales price, or transaction price. The Company records product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, to account for the components of variable consideration. Variable consideration includes the following components, which are described below: chargebacks, government rebates, trade discounts and allowances, commercial payer rebates, product returns, and co-payment assistance.

These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is expected to be settled with a credit against the Company's customer account) or a liability (if the amount is expected to be settled with a cash payment). The Company's estimates of reserves established for variable consideration are calculated based upon a consistent application of the expected value method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. These estimates reflect the Company's current contractual requirements,  customer channel mix, changes to product price, government pricing calculations and industry data. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be subject to constraint 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 received may ultimately differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results vary, the Company adjusts these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.

Chargebacks: Chargebacks for discounts represent the Company’s estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell product to qualified healthcare providers and government agencies at prices lower than the list prices charged to the customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. The customers charge the Company for the difference between what the customers pay the Company for the product and the customers’ ultimate contractually committed or government required lower selling price to the qualified healthcare providers.

Government Rebates: Government rebates consist of Medicare, Tricare, and Medicaid rebates. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom it will owe a rebate under the Medicare Part D program.

Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company provides its customers with discounts that are explicitly stated in the contracts and are recorded in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company also receives sales order management, inventory management, and data services from its customers in exchange for certain fees.

Commercial Payer Rebates: The Company contracts with various private payer organizations, primarily insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of our product and contracted formulary status. 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.

Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for product that has been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities based on data from similar products and other qualitative considerations, such as visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel.

Subject to certain limitations, the Company’s return policy allows for eligible returns of commercial products sold for credit under the following circumstances:

● receipt of damaged product;

● shipment errors that were a result of an error by the Company;

● expired product that is returned during the period beginning three months prior to the product’s expiration and ending six months after the expiration date;

● product subject to a recall; and

● product that the Company, at its sole discretion, has specified can be returned for credit.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has $0.1 million in returns related to sales of BRIUMVI.

Co-Payment Assistance Programs: Co-payment assistance is provided to qualified patients with commercial insurance, whereby the Company may provide financial assistance to patients with prescription drug co-payments required by the patient's insurance provider. Reserves for co-payment assistance are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

License Agreements –

The Company generates revenue from license or similar agreements with pharmaceutical companies for the development and commercialization of certain products. Such agreements  may include the transfer of intellectual property rights in the form of licenses. Payments made by the customer  may include non-refundable upfront fees, payments based upon the achievement of defined milestones, and royalties on sales of products.

Licenses of intellectual property: If a license to the Company’s intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes the transaction price allocated to the license as revenue upon transfer of control of the license. All other promised goods or services in the agreement are evaluated to determine if they are distinct. If they are not distinct, they are combined with other promised goods or services to create a bundle of promised goods or services that is distinct.

Milestone payments: Contingent milestones at contract inception are estimated at the amount which is not probable of a material reversal and included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. Milestone payments that are not within the Company's control, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received and therefore the variable consideration is constrained. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which the Company recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achieving development or sales-based milestone payments that  may not be subject to a material reversal and, if necessary, adjust the estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license and other revenue, as well as earnings, in the period of adjustment.

Sales-based royalties: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties and a license of intellectual property that is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, revenue is recognized at the later of when the related sales occur or when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalties have been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

Optional Purchases: The Company’s arrangements may provide the licensee the right to make optional purchases of the licensed product. These optional purchases are accounted for as separate contracts when the licensee determines that it will make such a purchase, unless the option conveys a material right.

Other Revenue

Revenue is also generated from service-based fees recognized for providing regulatory support and development services to customers. Service fee revenue is recognized overtime as the services are transferred to the customer.

DEFERRED PRODUCT REVENUE

When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to the Company completing its performance obligation to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenues expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities. Deferred revenues not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as long-term liabilities.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In general, accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers, net of customer allowances for cash discounts, product returns and chargebacks. Our contracts with customers have standard payment terms. We analyze accounts that are past due for collectability, and regularly evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profiles. As of December 31, 2024, we determined an allowance for expected credit losses related to outstanding accounts receivable was currently not required based upon our review of contractual payment terms and individual customer circumstances.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue consists primarily of third-party manufacturing costs, distribution, overhead and royalties owed to our licensing partner for BRIUMVI sales. Cost of revenue may also include costs related to excess or obsolete inventory adjustment charges, abnormal costs, unabsorbed manufacturing and overhead costs, and manufacturing variances. Based on our policy to expense costs associated with the manufacture of our products prior to regulatory approval, a portion of the costs of producing BRIUMVI sold to date was expensed as research and development prior to FDA approval of BRIUMVI and therefore it is not reflected in the cost of revenue. Our cost of revenue also relates to providing regulatory support & development services to customers.

INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value with cost based on the first-in-first-out method (FIFO). We classify inventory costs as long-term, in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, when we expect to utilize the inventory beyond our normal operating cycle.  Prior to regulatory approval, we expense costs relating to the production of inventory as research and development expense in the period incurred. Following regulatory approval, costs to manufacture those approved products will be capitalized. Inventory that can be used in either the production of clinical or commercial products is expensed as research and development costs when identified for use in clinical trials.

Prior to the approval of BRIUMVI, all manufacturing and other potential costs related to the commercial launch of BRIUMVI were expensed to research and development expense in the period incurred.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Generally, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred to third-party service providers for the conduct of research, preclinical and clinical studies, contract manufacturing costs, license milestone fees, personnel costs for our research and development employees, consulting, and other related expenses. We recognize research, preclinical and clinical study expenses based on services performed, pursuant to contracts with third-party research and development organizations that conduct and manage research, preclinical and clinical activities on our behalf. We accrue these expenses based on the progress or stage of completion of services and the contracted fees to be paid for such services. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the original accrual, we will adjust the accrual accordingly. With respect to clinical trial costs, the financial terms of these agreements are subject to an initial negotiation and vary from contract to contract. Payments under these contracts may be uneven and depend on factors such as the achievement of certain events, the successful recruitment of patients, the completion of portions of the clinical trial or similar conditions. As such, certain expense accruals related to clinical site costs are recognized based on the degree of performance of the event or events specified in the specific clinical study or trial contract.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. If the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax assets or liability is less than “more likely than not,” a valuation allowance is then created.

We, and our subsidiaries, file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states. We have tax net operating loss carryforwards that are subject to examination for a number of years beyond the year in which they were generated for tax purposes. Since a portion of these net operating loss carryforwards may be utilized in the future, many of these net operating loss carryforwards will remain subject to examination. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. Refer to Note 9 for further information.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation costs related to equity awards granted to employees and non-employees are measured at the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. We estimate the grant date fair value of options, and the resulting stock-based compensation expense, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Equity awards with market conditions are valued using advanced option-pricing models, such as a Monte Carlo simulation. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the award’s fair value on the grant date. For time-based or performance-based restricted stock, the fair value is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense for time-based restricted stock and options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for awards that vest upon the achievement of milestones is recognized over the requisite service period when the achievement of such milestones becomes probable. Stock-based compensation expense for an award that has a market condition is recognized over the requisite service period, which is derived from the valuation model, even if the market condition is never satisfied. We recognize all stock-based payments to employees and non-employee directors (as compensation for service) as noncash compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

SHARES REPURCHASE

The Company repurchases shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). We account for shares repurchased under the treasury accounting method (ASC 505-30). We recognize the amount paid to repurchase the shares as a reduction of stockholders’ equity and include treasury stock on a separate line item in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheet. Treasury stock is excluded from shares outstanding.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share of our common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) applicable to the common stock by the weighted-average number of our common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants, stock options, and restricted stock, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. The impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for the year ended December 31, 2022 in the consolidated statement of operations as a result of the Company’s net loss during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had net income and as such presents the dilutive effect of potential common shares in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share in the table below.

The following table summarizes our potentially dilutive securities at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

	December 31,
	2024		2023		2022
Unvested restricted stock		10,343,555		8,139,037		7,232,254
Options		4,470,216		4,697,029		5,135,685
Warrants		165,214		312,272		262,100
Shares issuable upon note conversion		21,973		20,902		20,619
Total		15,000,958		13,169,240		12,650,658

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) is as follows:

	Year ended
	December 31,
(in thousands, except share and per share data)	2024		2023		2022
Net income (loss)		23,383		12,672		(223,812	)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		145,317,418		141,955,112		135,411,258
Dilutive effect of potential common shares		15,018,633		6,553,353		-

Net income (loss) per share - basic		0.16		0.09		(1.65	)
Net income (loss) per share - diluted		0.15		0.09		(1.65	)

LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Long-lived assets are reviewed for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria as well as qualitative measures. If an analysis is necessitated by the occurrence of a triggering event, we make certain assumptions in determining the impairment amount. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized.

Goodwill results from excess consideration in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present, by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative test that compares the fair value to its carrying value is performed to determine the amount of any impairment.

LEASES

All leases with a lease term greater than 12 months, regardless of lease type classification, are recorded as an obligation on the balance sheet with a corresponding right-of-use asset. Operating leases are reflected as lease liabilities on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. Current operating lease liabilities are reflected in lease liabilities – current portion and noncurrent operating lease liabilities are reflected in lease liabilities – non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use assets are valued at the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs or rent prepayments, minus lease incentives and any deferred lease payments. Operating lease assets are recorded to right of use assets on the consolidated balance sheet and lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In determining whether a contract contains a lease, asset and service agreements are assessed at onset and upon modification for criteria of specifically identified assets, control and economic benefit.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company operates in one reportable segment, B-cell mediated disease therapy, which includes all activities related to the development and commercialization of novel treatments, including BRIUMVI, to address unmet medical needs and improve the lives of patients. The determination of a single reportable segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), which is its chief executive officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net income (loss) for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources and planning and forecasting for future periods. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.

IMMATERIAL CORRECTIONS OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During July of 2024, the Company identified an error related to the expense recognition of a single restricted stock award granted in 2021. The impact of the error was an understatement of non-cash compensation expense (SG&A) in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 and a corresponding understatement of additional paid in capital (APIC). The Company concluded the error did not result in a material misstatement of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company corrected the relevant consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2022 within these consolidated financial statements.
