2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Product revenue is derived from sales of our product, Rubraca, in the United States. We distribute our product in the U.S. principally through a limited number of specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy providers, collectively, our customers. Our customers subsequently resell our products to patients and healthcare providers. Separately, we have arrangements with certain payors and other third parties that provide for government-mandated and privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and other discounts.

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title of the product and associated risk of loss has passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, collection from the customer has been reasonably assured and all performance obligations have been met and returns and allowances can be reasonably estimated. Revenue is recorded net of estimated rebates, chargebacks, discounts and other deductions as well as estimated product returns (collectively, “sales deductions”). Although the specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy providers are our customers, we recognize revenue on product sales once the product is resold to the patient or healthcare provider by the specialty distributor or specialty pharmacy provider, therefore reducing the significance of estimates made for product returns. To date, we have had minimal product returns and we currently do not have an accrual for product returns. We will continue to assess our estimate for product returns as we gain additional historical experience.

 

Cost of Sales – Product

 

Product cost of sales consists primarily of materials, third-party manufacturing costs as well as freight and royalties owed to our licensing partners for Rubraca sales. Based on our policy to expense costs associated with the manufacture of our products prior to regulatory approval, certain of the manufacturing costs of Rubraca units recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were expensed prior to the December 19, 2016 FDA approval, and therefore, a minimal amount is included in costs of sales during the current period. We expect cost of sales to increase in relation to product revenues as we deplete these inventories and we expect to use the remaining pre-commercialization inventory for product sales during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Cost of Sales – Intangible Asset Amortization

 

Cost of sales for intangible asset amortization consists of the amortization of capitalized milestone payments made to our licensing partners upon FDA approval of Rubraca. Milestone payments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining patent life of Rubraca.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out, or FIFO, basis. We began capitalizing incurred inventory related costs upon the regulatory approval of Rubraca. Prior to the regulatory approval of Rubraca, we incurred costs for the manufacture of the drug that could potentially be available to support the commercial launch of Rubraca and all such costs were recognized as research and development expense. We periodically analyze our inventory levels, and write down inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value and/or inventory in excess of expected sales requirements as cost of product revenues. Expired inventory would be disposed of and the related costs would be written off as cost of product revenues. 

 

The active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) in Rubraca is currently produced by a single supplier. As the API has undergone significant manufacturing specific to its intended purpose at the point it is purchased by us, we classify the API as work-in-process inventory.     

 

Our other significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements.  Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively, “ASC 606”). ASC 606 prescribes a single common revenue standard that replaces most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 is intended to provide a more consistent interpretation and application of the principles outlined in the standard across filers in multiple industries and within the same industries compared to current practices, which should improve comparability.  Adoption of ASC 606 is required for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Upon adoption, we must elect to adopt either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or use the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized at the date of initial application. We expect to apply the new standard using the modified retrospective method upon its adoption date on January 1, 2018. 

 

We have begun a comprehensive scoping process to identify and disaggregate all revenue streams that may be impacted by the adoption of ASC 606. To date, we have examined our revenue recognition policy specific to revenue streams from representative contracts governing product sales from Rubraca and have come to preliminary conclusions on the impact of the new standard using the 5-step process prescribed by ASC 606. We have reviewed a representative sample of contracts, including our collaboration agreements with Servier and Bristol-Myers Squibb discussed in Note 12, License Agreements, and determined the potential impact to our accounting policies, financial controls and operations. Our preliminary conclusions include recognizing revenue on product sales once the product is sold to the specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy providers. We have not yet completed our final review of the impact of this guidance including the new disclosure requirements, as we are continuing to evaluate the impacts of adoption. We continue to monitor additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations being undertaken by the FASB, which may impact our preliminary conclusions.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on their balance sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business in ASC 805. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Currently, there is no impact to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we will adopt on January 1, 2018 for any business combinations and will consider adopting early for any acquisitions prior to January 1, 2018.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which we would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, we would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures should we have a modification to our share-based payment awards in the future.
