Organization, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

Organization, Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

Zogenix, Inc., and subsidiaries (also referred to as Zogenix, we, our or us) is a global biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing therapies with the potential to transform the lives of patients and their families living with rare diseases. Our first rare disease therapy, Fintepla (fenfluramine) oral solution, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome, a rare, devastating, severe lifelong epilepsy. Fintepla is also currently under development in Japan. We also have two late-stage development programs underway: one for Fintepla for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a rare childhood-onset epilepsy, and another for MT1621, an investigational novel substrate enhancement therapy for the treatment of TK2 deficiency, a rare genetic disorder.

We operate as a single operating segment engaged in the research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products, and our headquarters are located in Emeryville, California.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2020 Form 10-K), which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for any future period.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zogenix, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2021, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $435.2 million. Excluding gains from two discrete business divestitures, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2021. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations to support the sales and marketing of Fintepla for Dravet syndrome in the U.S. and Europe, potential commercialization of Fintepla for LGS, as well as continuing to advance our clinical programs. Additionally, we are obligated to make future milestone payments that are contingent upon the successful achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales-based milestone events related to Fintepla and MT1621. Historically, we have relied primarily on the proceeds from equity and convertible debt offerings to finance our operations. Until such time, if ever, we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue to finance our cash requirements, we may need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. However, we may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all, and this risk could be exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19 on global economic conditions. Failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could require us to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of our product development programs or commercialization efforts or other aspects of our business plans, and our operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.
