Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2020

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in companies in which the Company owns less than a 50% equity interest and where it exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet represents employee contributions to the Company's employee share purchase plan held for future purchases of the Company's outstanding shares. See Note 12 "Share-Based Compensation" for additional information on the Company's employee share purchase plan.

Restricted cash included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represents collateral held by a bank for a letter of credit ("LOC") issued in connection with the leased office space in Yardley, Pennsylvania. See Note 15 ‘‘Commitments and Contingencies’’ for additional information on the real estate lease. The following represents a reconciliation of cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to total cash and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow:


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash	$	261,061	$	316,727
Restricted cash (included in other current assets)	1,801		—
Restricted cash (included in other assets)	1,000		1,000
Total cash and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows	$	263,862	$	317,727

Trade Receivables, Net

The Company’s trade accounts receivable consists of amounts due from pharmacy wholesalers in the U.S. (collectively, its "Customers") related to sales of NURTEC ODT and have standard payment terms. For certain Customers, the trade accounts receivable for the Customer is net of distribution service fees, prompt pay discounts and other adjustments. The Company monitors the financial performance and creditworthiness of its Customers so that it can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. The Company reserves against trade accounts receivable for estimated losses that may arise from a Customer’s inability to pay and any amounts determined to be uncollectible are written off against the reserve when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected. The reserve amount for estimated losses was not significant as of June 30, 2020.

Inventory

The Company values its inventories at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of its inventories, which includes costs related to products held for sale in the ordinary course of business, products in process of production for such sale and items to be currently consumed in the production of goods to be available for sale, on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Due to the nature of the Company’s supply chain process, inventory that is owned by the Company, is physically stored at third-party warehouses, logistics providers and contract manufacturers. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period, and writes down any excess and obsolete inventories to their net realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. If they occur, such impairment charges are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products following regulatory approval when future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized. Products which may be used in clinical development programs are excluded from inventory and charged to research and development expense as incurred. Prior to the initial date regulatory approval is received, costs related to the production of inventory are recorded as research and development expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period incurred. Following FDA approval of NURTEC ODT on February 27, 2020, the Company subsequently began capitalizing costs related to inventory manufacturing.

Intangible Assets

The Company had no intangible assets as of December 31, 2019. The Company is required to pay milestone payments of $41,500 related to the FDA approval and launch of NURTEC ODT. These milestone payments were capitalized as an intangible asset, and will be amortized to cost of goods sold over the remaining expected life of the patents. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $724 and $965, respectively, of amortization on the asset and recorded the expense to cost of goods sold.

Estimated future amortization expense for the intangible assets subsequent to June 30, 2020 is a follows:


2020 (remaining six months)						1,449
2021						2,895
2022						2,895
2023						2,895
2024						2,895
Thereafter						27,506
						40,535

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company monitors its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles for indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of affected assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets is less than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. If such assets are found not to be recoverable, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the fair value of the assets, with the fair value generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the assets. The Company believes no impairment of long-lived assets existed as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and

liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

•Level 1— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The Company’s derivative liability is carried at fair value, determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3).

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. If the interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based on market sources including interest rates for companies with similar credit quality for agreements of similar duration, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the short-term lease and variable lease costs are expensed as incurred.

For our real estate lease, the Company elected the practical expedient to include both the lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as an operating lease. In addition, payments made by the Company for improvements to the underlying asset, if the payment relates to an asset of the lessor, are recorded as prepaid rent within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and expensed as part of the amortization of the right-of-use asset. The commencement date for the Company's leased office space in Yardley, Pennsylvania occurred during the second quarter of 2020. In connection with the commencement of the office lease, the Company reclassified $2,850 for leasehold improvements related to assets of the lessor from prepaid rent to operating right-of-use asset. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had restricted cash of $1,000 included in other assets in the condensed consolidated financial statements, which represents collateral held by a bank for an LOC issued in connection with the leased office space in Yardley, Pennsylvania. The restricted cash is deposited in a non-interest bearing account. See Note 15 ‘‘Commitments and Contingencies’’ for additional information on the real estate lease.

For our vehicle leases, the Company elected the practical expedient to include both the lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a finance lease. Each of the Company's vehicle leases are considered a single lease under a master service agreement, and each vehicle lease has a residual value guarantee equivalent to the whole sale value of the vehicle at termination of the lease. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company took delivery of a portion of its commercial car fleet. The remainder, and majority, of these vehicles will become available for use during 2020. In connection with the vehicle leases, the Company recorded finance lease right-of-use assets in other assets and finance lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 15 "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information on the vehicle leases.

Revenue Recognition

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The Company records the amount of revenue that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods or

services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services that it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations it must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when that performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

Product Revenue, Net

The Company sells its product principally to its Customers in the United States. The Company’s Customers subsequently resell the products to pharmacies and health care providers. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes net product revenues from sales when the Customers obtain control of the Company’s products, which typically occurs upon delivery to the Customer. The Company’s payment terms are generally between 30 - 65 days.

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from (a) invoice discounts for prompt payment and distribution service fees, (b) government and private payor rebates, chargebacks, discounts and fees, (c) product returns and (d) costs of co-pay assistance programs for patients, as well as other incentives for certain indirect customers. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. The reserves are classified as reductions to trade receivable, net if payable to a Customer or accrued expenses if payable to a third-party. Where appropriate, the Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the appropriate amount for estimates of variable consideration based on 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. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained 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 ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Distribution Service Fees: The Company engages with wholesalers to distribute its products to end customers. The Company pays the wholesalers a fee for services such as: Data Reporting, Inventory Management, Chargeback Administration and Service Level Commitment. The Company estimates the amount of distribution services fees to be paid to the Customers and adjusts the transaction price with the amount of such estimate at the time of sale to the Customer.

Shelf Stock Adjustments: The Company provides its Customers with a shelf stock adjustment for all product inventories held by the customer upon any decrease in price. The Company estimates the Customer’s inventory levels and the probability of pricing adjustments using management forecasts, and adjusts the transaction price with the amount of such estimate at the time of sale to the Customer.

Prompt Pay Discounts: The Company provides its Customers with a percentage discount on their invoice if the Customers pay within the agreed upon timeframe. The Company estimates the probability of Customers paying promptly and the percentage of discount outlined in the agreement, and deducts the full amount of these discounts from its gross product revenues and accounts receivable at the time such revenues are recognized.

Product Returns: The Company provides Customers a return credit in the amount of the purchase price paid by Customers for all products returned in accordance with the Company’s returned goods policy. In the initial sales period, the Company estimates its provision for sales returns based on industry data and adjusts the transaction price with such estimate at the time of sale to the Customer. Once sufficient history has been collected for product returns, the Company utilizes that history to inform its estimate assumption. Once the product is returned, it is destroyed. The Company does not record a right-of-return asset.

Chargeback: A chargeback is the difference between the manufacturer's invoice price to the wholesaler and the wholesaler’s customers contract price. The wholesaler tracks these sales and "charges back" the manufacturer for the difference between the negotiated prices paid between the wholesaler's customers and wholesaler's acquisition cost. Biohaven estimates the percentage of goods sold that are eligible for chargeback and adjusts the transaction price for such discount at the time of sale to the Customer.

Administration Fees: Biohaven engages with Pharmacy Benefit Managers ("PBMs") to administer prescription-drug plans for people with third-party insurance through a self-insured employer, health insurance plan, labor union or government plan. The Company pays PBMs “administrative fees” for their role in providing utilization data, administering rebates, and administering claims payments. Biohaven estimates the amount of administration fees to be paid to PBMs and adjusts the transaction price with the amount of such estimate at the time of sale to the Customer.

Rebates: Rebates apply to:

•Medicaid, managed care, expansion programs, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, the State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program, and supplemental rebates to all applicable states as defined by the statutory government pricing calculation requirements under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program;

•Tricare rebate to the TRICARE third party administrator based on the statutory calculation defined in the Agreement with Defense Health Agency; and

•Part D and Commercial Managed Care rebates are paid based on the contracts with PBMs and Managed Care Organizations. Rebates are paid to these entities upon receipt of an invoice from the contracted entity which is based on the utilization of the product by the members of the contracted entity.

The Company estimates the percentage of goods sold that are eligible for rebates and adjusts the transaction price for such discounts at the time of sale to the Customers.

Coverage Gap: The Medicare Part D coverage gap (also called the "donut hole") is a period of consumer payment for prescription medication costs which lies between the initial coverage limit and the catastrophic-coverage threshold, when the patient is a member of a Medicare Part D prescription-drug program administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Company estimates the percentage of goods sold under Coverage Gap and adjusts the transaction price for such discount at the time of sale to the Customer.

Bridge Program: A Bridge Program helps start a patient on a new therapy, especially in cases where payers may have barriers (e.g. prior authorizations and appeals) in place before agreeing to pay for a new drug. Under a Bridge Program the Customer distributes the product free of cost to eligible individuals for a period of time. The Company estimates the percentage of Bridge Program product to be provided at each sale to the customer and adjusts the transaction price with the amount of such estimate. The Company does not recognize revenue on Bridge program provided products. The volume of drug to be supplied under the Bridge Program is estimated by the Company at the time of sale to the Customer.

Stocking Allowance: The Company offers a stocking allowance for new product launches. Stocking allowances are one-time payments that a manufacturer makes to a wholesaler as a condition of the initial placement of the manufacturer’s products in the wholesaler’s warehouse. The Company uses the agreed upon fees and its forecasts for initial product sales to calculate the stocking allowance and adjusts the transaction price with the amount of such estimate at the time of sale to the Customer.

The Company makes significant estimates and judgments that materially affect its recognition of net product revenue. Claims by third-party payors for rebates, chargebacks and discounts frequently are submitted to the Company significantly after the related sales, potentially resulting in adjustments in the period in which the new information becomes known. The Company will adjust its estimates based on new information, including information regarding actual rebates, chargebacks and discounts for its products, as it becomes available.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of NURTEC ODT, including third-party manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight-in, third-party royalties payable on the Company’s net product revenues and amortization of intangible assets associated with NURTEC ODT. Cost of goods sold may also include

period costs related to certain inventory manufacturing services and inventory adjustment charges. In connection with the FDA approval of NURTEC on February 27, 2020, the Company subsequently began capitalizing inventory manufactured or purchased after this date. As a result, certain manufacturing costs associated with product shipments of NURTEC ODT were expensed prior to FDA approval and, therefore, are not included in cost of goods sold during the current period. These previously expensed costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Advertising Costs

We expense the costs of advertising as incurred. We incurred and expensed advertising costs in the amount of $32,007 and $39,515 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and none for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. These costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2020 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, any other interim periods or any future year or period. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted and Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU provides guidance for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses model. This new standard amends the current guidance on the impairment of financial instruments and adds an impairment model known as current expected credit loss ("CECL") model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses to clarify and address certain items related to the amendments in ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition relief, was issued to provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of ASC 326 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments - Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have an effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company's first trade accounts receivables were recorded following the adoption.

Effective January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"), a new standard on a customer's accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement ("CCA") that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a CCA service contract with existing internal-use software guidance. The standard also provides classification guidance on these implementation costs as well as additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2020 the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and no significant effect on the related fair value disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03. This ASU improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics, including the CECL standard issued in 2016. The ASU includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The Company adopted ASU 2020-03 on issuance. The adoption of ASU 2020-03 did not have a significant effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The new standard addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measurement of certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires changes to be made prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
