Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Operating Segment DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND OPERATING SEGMENT
(a) Description of Business
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, with a strategy of acquiring, developing, and commercializing novel and targeted oncology therapies. We have an in-house clinical development organization with regulatory and data management capabilities, in addition to commercial infrastructure and a field based sales force for our marketed product, ROLVEDON™ (formerly known as eflapegrastim).
We have one commercial asset and one drug candidate in late-stage development:
•ROLVEDON™ is a novel long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (“G-CSF”) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. On April 11, 2022, we announced that we had received notice that the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for ROLVEDON had been accepted for filing and received a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of September 9, 2022. On September 9, 2022, we received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) marketing approval for ROLVEDON and began commercialization activities in the fourth quarter of 2022; and
•Poziotinib is a novel irreversible TKI under investigation for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors with various mutations. On December 6, 2021, we announced we submitted our New Drug Application (“NDA”) for poziotinib to the FDA for use in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. The NDA submission is based on the positive results of Cohort 2 from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, which assessed the safety and efficacy of poziotinib. The product candidate received fast track designation from the FDA and there is currently no treatment specifically approved by the FDA for this indication. On February 11, 2022, we announced that we received notice from the FDA that the NDA was accepted for filing and received a PDUFA action date of November 24, 2022. On September 22, 2022, we met with the FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (“ODAC”). The ODAC voted 9 (no) - 4 (yes) that the current benefits of poziotinib did not outweigh its risks for the treatment of patients with NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. On November 25, 2022, we announced that we had received a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA regarding our NDA. The CRL stated that the FDA determined that it could not approve the NDA in its present form and provided recommendations needed for resubmission, including generating additional data from a randomized controlled study prior to approval. We are continuing to evaluate these recommendations but we have de-prioritized further poziotinib development activities.
Our business strategy is the development of late-stage assets through commercialization and the sourcing of additional assets that are synergistic with our existing portfolio (through purchase acquisitions, in-licensing transactions, or co-development and marketing arrangements).
(b) Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Spectrum and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company accounts and transactions among these legal entities have been eliminated in consolidation. Substantially all of the accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments at December 31, 2022. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Foreign Currency Translation
Operations in non-U.S. entities are recorded in the functional currency of each entity. For financial reporting purposes, the functional currency of an entity is determined by a review of the source of an entity's most predominant cash flows. The results of operations for any non-U.S. dollar functional currency entities are translated from functional currencies into U.S. dollars using the average currency rate during each month. Assets and liabilities are translated using currency rates at the end of the period. Adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of our foreign entities that use their local currency as the functional currency into U.S. dollars are reflected as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Discontinued Operations - Sale of our Commercial Product Portfolio
In March 2019, we completed the sale of our Commercial Product Portfolio (as defined below in Note 10) to Acrotech Biopharma LLC (“Acrotech”) (the “Commercial Product Portfolio Transaction”). In accordance with applicable GAAP (Accounting Standards Codification, “ASC”, 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements), the revenue-deriving activities and allocable expenses of our sold commercial operations, connected to the Commercial Product Portfolio, are separately classified as “discontinued” for all periods presented within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to incur future net losses as we continue to fund the advancement and commercialization of our product and product candidates. Based upon our current projections, including our intention to continue to place a disciplined focus on streamlining our business operations, we believe that our $75.1 million in aggregate cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date this Annual Report is filed with the SEC. However, should our net sales prove to be less than we currently anticipate, or our costs and expenses prove to be greater than we currently anticipate, or should we change our current business plan in a manner that increases or accelerates our anticipated costs and expenses, we may require additional liquidity earlier than expected. Until and unless we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through the public or private sale of debt or equity securities, out-licensing arrangements, funding from joint-venture or strategic partners, debt financing or short-term loans, or through a combination of the foregoing. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain additional liquidity on terms favorable to us or our current stockholders, or at all. Our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements going forward are dependent, in part, on market and economic factors that are beyond our control. The Company may never achieve profitability or generate positive cash flows, and unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital. As of December 31, 2022, we have approximately $128.8 million remaining to be sold pursuant to the April 2019 ATM Agreement, subject to the availability of authorized shares.
On September 21, 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, Allos Therapeutics, Inc., Talon Therapeutics, Inc., and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals International Holdings, LLC, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), SLR Investment Corp. (“SLR”), as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) that provides for a five-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $65.0 million available to us in four tranches (collectively, the “Term Loans”). As of December 31, 2022, we had drawn a total of $30.0 million of the Term Loans pursuant to the Loan Agreement, with a remaining undrawn principal balance of $25.0 million, which is available through November 15, 2023 and is subject to the achievement of certain milestone events. As we did not satisfy the Term B Loan Funding Condition we will be unable to draw the Term B Loan of $10.0 million (as those terms are defined in the Loan Agreement). Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
(c) Operating Segment
We operate one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing and marketing oncology and hematology drug products. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, all of our operating costs and expenses were solely attributable to these activities (and as applicable, classified as “discontinued” within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations).
