Product Revenue Net

3. Product Revenue, Net

The Company sells TAZVERIK in the United States principally to a limited number of specialty pharmacies, which dispense the product directly to patients, and specialty distributors, which in turn sell the product to hospital pharmacies and community practice pharmacies (collectively, healthcare providers) for the treatment of patients. The specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors are referred to as the Company’s customers.

Product revenue is recognized by the Company in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services when the customer obtains control of the product, which occurs at a point in time, typically when the product is received by the Company’s customers. The Company provides a right of return to its customers for unopened product for a limited time before and after its expiration date, which right of return lapses upon shipment to a patient. Healthcare providers to whom specialty distributors sell TAZVERIK hold limited inventory that is designated for patients, and the Company monitors inventory levels in the distribution channel to limit the risk of return.

 

Reserves for Variable Consideration

 

Revenues from product sales are recorded as product revenue at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from discounts, returns, chargebacks, rebates, co-pay assistance and other allowances that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the Company’s product sales. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a customer). Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled based on the terms of the contract(s). The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price 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 in the future 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.

 

Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company generally provides customers with discounts that include incentive fees that are explicitly stated in customer contracts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company receives sales order management, data and distribution services from certain customers. To the extent the services received are distinct from the Company’s sale of products to the customer, these payments are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return based on the product’s expiration date for product that has been purchased from the Company, which lapses upon shipment to a patient. The Company estimates the amount of product sales that may be returned by customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period in which the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities using available industry data and the Company’s own historical sales information, including its visibility into the product remaining in the distribution channel.

 

Provider Chargebacks and Discounts: Chargebacks for fees and discounts to healthcare providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. Customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the ultimate selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and accounts receivable. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider by customers, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of the customer’s notification to the Company of the resale. Reserves for chargebacks consist of credits that the Company expects to issue for units that remain in the distribution channel at each reporting period end that the Company expects will be sold to qualified healthcare providers, and chargebacks that customers have claimed but for which the Company has not yet issued a credit.

 

Government Rebates: The Company is subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and Medicare. The Company estimates its Medicaid and Medicare rebates based upon a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for the estimated payor mix. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability that is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom the Company will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program. The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received, estimates of claims for the current quarter, and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel inventories at period end.

 

Payor Rebates: The Company may contract with various private payor organizations, primarily insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of the Company’s products. 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.

 

Other Incentives/Patient Assistance Programs: The Company also offers voluntary patient assistance programs such as co-pay assistance. Co-pay assistance programs are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially insured patients with prescription drug co-payments required by payors. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel inventories at period end.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable from customers and cash held at financial institutions. The Company believes that such customers and financial institutions are of high credit quality.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, net product revenue was primarily generated from four individual customers. Revenue earned from each customer as a percentage of net product revenue is as follows:
