GLAUKOS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and business
Glaukos Corporation (Glaukos or the Company), incorporated in Delaware on July 14, 1998, is an ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal disease. The Company developed Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) to serve as an alternative to the traditional glaucoma treatment paradigm and launched its first MIGS device commercially in 2012. The Company also offers commercially a proprietary bio-activated pharmaceutical therapy for the treatment of a corneal disorder, keratoconus, that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016 and is developing a pipeline of surgical devices, sustained pharmaceutical therapies, and implantable biosensors intended to treat glaucoma progression, corneal disorders such as keratoconus, dry eye and refractive vision correction, and retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glaukos and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America (U.S.) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial information contained herein. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date, but excludes disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 1, 2021. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other interim period.
Recent Developments
Acquisition of Avedro, Inc.
On November 21, 2019, the Company acquired Avedro, Inc. (Avedro), a hybrid ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on developing therapies designed to treat corneal diseases and disorders and correct refractive conditions, in a stock-for-stock transaction (Avedro Merger). Avedro developed novel bio-activated drug formulations used in combination with proprietary systems for the treatment of progressive keratoconus and corneal ectasia following refractive surgery. The therapy is the first and only minimally invasive anterior segment product offering approved by the FDA shown to halt the progression of keratoconus.
Amendment to Intratus License Agreement
On April 22, 2021, the Company announced that it entered into an amendment of our exclusive licensing agreement with Intratus, Inc. (Intratus). The amendment expanded the existing agreement, a global licensing arrangement to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize Intratus’ patented, non-invasive drug delivery platform for use in the treatment of dry eye disease, glaucoma and other corneal disorders, to also include the treatment of presbyopia. In connection with the execution of the amendment, the Company made a one-time payment to Intratus of $
8
Santen License Agreement
On May 18, 2021, the Company announced that it entered into a new development and commercialization license agreement with Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Santen) for the PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt, superseding the previous collaboration and distribution agreements between the two parties. Under the new agreement, the Company obtains exclusive commercialization rights for the MicroShunt in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and the remainder of Latin America. The new agreement also provides the Company with full control over all development activities for the MicroShunt in these same territories, including all clinical development and regulatory affairs activities in the U.S. following a transition period. Santen submitted a premarket approval (PMA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2020 and discussions with the FDA remain ongoing. The Company did not make any payment in connection with the execution of the license agreement; however, should the Company be successful in obtaining regulatory approval for the PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt, it would be required to pay Santen a milestone payment, followed by royalties and other potential future milestones depending on the success of the commercialization of the product.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021, including in connection with the Company’s adoption of the accounting pronouncements noted below in the sub-heading “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” with the exception of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). See Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Note 9. Convertible Senior Notes for more detail.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. The most significant estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements relate to revenue recognition, the fair value of the liability component of the Company’s
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflect the Company’s estimates of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, reserves and allowances, manufacturing, clinical trials, research and development costs and employee-related amounts, will depend on future developments that are uncertain, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, the severity and transmission rates of new and more contagious and/or vaccine-resistant variants of COVID-19, and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, including the availability, distribution, rate of public acceptance and efficacy of vaccines for COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. As a result, there may be changes to the Company’s estimates regarding the impact of COVID-19 in future periods.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments. The embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under ASU 2020-06, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The new guidance also requires the if-converted method to compute diluted earnings per share to be applied for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires using either a modified retrospective or a full retrospective approach. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective adoption approach. The cumulative effect of the change was recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. The comparative prior year information has not been restated and continues to be presented according to accounting standards in effect for those periods.
The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in an increase to accumulated deficit of $
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Company reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is 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.
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
The valuation of assets and liabilities is subject to fair value measurements using a three-tiered approach and fair value measurements are classified and disclosed by the Company in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
12
The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value (in thousands):
