The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Antares Pharma, Inc. and its two wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X. Accordingly, all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements is not included. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We believe all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and unaudited condensed footnote disclosures thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents represent demand deposits at commercial banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents, consisting of investments in money market funds and bank certificate of deposits, are remeasured and reported at fair value each reporting period based on quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 input within the three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements, and totaled $26,631 and $26,889 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

From time to time, we also invest in bank certificates of deposit that are classified as held-to-maturity because of our intent and ability to hold securities to maturity. Investments with original maturities greater than three months but less than one year are classified as short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment securities are carried at their amortized cost and fair value is determined by quoted market prices for identical or similar securities. The carrying value of our short-term investments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 approximate fair value.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Certain components of our products are provided by a limited number of vendors, and our production, assembly, warehousing and distribution operations are outsourced to third-party suppliers where substantially all of our inventory is located. Disruption of supply from key vendors or third-party suppliers may have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results.

Expenditures, including interest costs, for assets under construction and internal use software that are not yet ready for their intended use are capitalized and will be depreciated based on the above guidelines when placed in service. Costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expenses as incurred.

We generate revenue from proprietary and partnered product sales, license and development activities and royalty arrangements. Revenue is recognized when or as we transfer control of the promised goods or services to the customer at the transaction price, which is the amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

At inception of each contract, we identify the goods and services that have been promised to the customer and each of those that represent a distinct performance obligation, determine the transaction price including any variable consideration, allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations and determine whether control transfers to the customer at a point in time or over time. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We reassess our reserves for variable consideration at each reporting date and make adjustments, if necessary, which may affect revenue and earnings in periods in which any such changes become known.

We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping activities as a fulfillment cost. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of underlying goods are transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred are included in cost of product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We sell our proprietary commercial products primarily to wholesale and specialty distributors. Revenue is recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which is typically upon delivery, at the net selling price, which reflects the variable consideration for which reserves and sales allowances are established for estimated returns, wholesale distribution fees, prompt payment discounts, government rebates and chargebacks, plan rebate arrangements and patient discount and support programs.

The determination of certain reserves and sales allowances requires us to make a number of judgements and estimates to reflect our best estimate of the transaction price and the amount of consideration to which we believe we would be ultimately entitled to receive. The expected value is determined based on unit sales data, contractual terms with customers and third-party payers, historical and estimated future percentage of rebates incurred on sales, historical and future insurance plan billings, any new or anticipated changes in programs or regulations that would impact the amount of the actual rebates, customer purchasing patterns, product expiration dates and levels of inventory in the distribution channel. Reserves for prompt payment discounts are recorded as a reduction in accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reserves for returns, distributor fees, rebates and customer co-pay support programs are included within current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We are party to several license, development, supply and distribution arrangements with pharmaceutical partners, under which we produce and are the exclusive supplier of certain products, devices and/or components. Revenue is recognized when or as control of the goods transfers to the customer as discussed below.

We are the exclusive supplier of the Makena® subcutaneous auto injector product to Covis and beginning in December 2021, the exclusive supplier of OTREXUP® to Otter. Because these products are custom manufactured for each customer with no alternative use and we have a contractual right to payment for performance completed to date, control is continuously transferred to the customer as the product is produced pursuant to firm purchase orders. Revenue is recognized over time using the output method based on the contractual selling price and number of units produced. The amount of revenue recognized in excess of the amount shipped/billed to the customer, if any, is recorded as contract assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the short-term nature in which the amount is ultimately expected to be billed and collected from the customer.

All other partnered product sales are recognized at the point in time in which control is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon shipment. Sales terms and pricing are governed by the respective supply and distribution agreements, and there is generally no right of return. Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which includes the contractual per unit selling price and estimated variable consideration, such as volume-based pricing arrangements or profit sharing arrangements, if any. We recognize revenue, including the estimated variable consideration we expect to receive for contract margin on future commercial sales, upon shipment of the goods to our partner. The estimated variable consideration is recognized at an amount we believe is not subject to significant reversal based on historical experience and is adjusted at each reporting period if the most likely amount of expected consideration changes or becomes fixed.

We have entered into several license, development and supply arrangements with pharmaceutical partners under which we grant a license to our device technology and know-how and provide research and development services that often involve multiple performance obligations and highly customized deliverables. For such arrangements, we identify each of the promised goods and services within the contract and the distinct performance obligations at inception and allocate consideration to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price, which is generally determined based on the expected cost plus mark-up.

If the contract includes an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date and performance obligations are satisfied over time, we recognize revenue over the development period using either the input or output method depending on which is most appropriate given the nature of the distinct deliverable. For other contracts that do not contain an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. Factors that may indicate that the transfer of control has occurred include the transfer of legal title, transfer of physical possession, the customer has obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the assets and we have a present right to payment.

Our typical payment terms for development contracts may include an upfront payment equal to a percentage of the total contract value with the remaining portion to be billed upon completion and transfer of the individual deliverables or satisfaction of the individual performance obligations. We record a contract liability for cash received in advance of performance, which is presented within deferred revenue and deferred revenue, long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized as revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the associated performance obligations have been satisfied. We recognized $1,670 in licensing and development revenue in connection with contract liabilities that were outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and satisfied during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

License fees and milestones received in exchange for the grant of a license to our functional intellectual property such as patented technology and know-how in connection with a partnered development arrangement are generally recognized at inception of the arrangement, or over the development period depending on the facts and circumstances, as the license is generally not distinct from the non-licensed goods or services to be provided under the contract. Milestone payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of future events are evaluated and recorded at the most likely amount, and to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur when the associated uncertainty is resolved.

We earn royalties in connection with licenses granted under license and development arrangements with partners. Royalties are based upon a percentage of commercial sales of partnered products with rates ranging from mid-single digits to low double digits and are tiered based on levels of net sales. These sales-based royalties, for which the license was deemed the predominant element to which the royalties relate, are estimated and recognized in the period in which the partners’ commercial sales occur. The royalties are generally reported and payable to us within 45 to 60 days of the end of the period in which the commercial sales are made. We base our estimates of royalties earned on actual sales information from our partners when available or estimated prescription sales from external sources and estimated net selling price. If actual royalties received are different than amounts estimated, we would adjust the royalty revenue in the period in which the adjustment becomes known.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders and development contract deliverables for which work has not been completed or orders fulfilled and excludes potential purchase orders under ordering-type supply contracts with indefinite delivery or quantity. As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate value of remaining performance obligations, excluding contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, was $13,989. We expect to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next three years, with the majority being recognized in the next twelve months.
