Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MannKind Corporation and its subsidiaries (“MannKind,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017 (the “Annual Report”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of the financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. The more significant estimates reflected in these accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, assessing long-lived assets and deferred product costs for impairment, accrued expenses, inventory recoverability, valuation of the facility financing obligation, loss on purchase commitments, warrant liability, milestone rights, stock-based compensation and the determination of the provision for income taxes and corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. This process may result in actual results differing materially from those estimated amounts used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Business — MannKind is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes. The Company’s only approved product, Afrezza (insulin human [rDNA origin]) inhalation powder, is a rapid-acting inhaled insulin that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) on June 27, 2014 to improve glycemic control in adult patients with diabetes.

On August 11, 2014, the Company executed a license and collaboration agreement (the “Sanofi License Agreement”) with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, which subsequently assigned its rights and obligations under the agreement to Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (“Sanofi”), pursuant to which Sanofi was responsible for global commercial, regulatory and development activities for Afrezza.

On January 4, 2016, the Company received written notification from Sanofi of its election to terminate in its entirety the Sanofi License Agreement. The effective date of termination was April 4, 2016, which was when the Company assumed responsibility for worldwide development and commercialization of Afrezza. Under the terms of the transition agreement, Sanofi continued to fulfill orders for Afrezza in the United States until the Company began distributing MannKind-branded Afrezza product to major wholesalers in late July 2016. The Company began recognizing commercial product sales revenue when MannKind-branded Afrezza was dispensed from pharmacies to patients in August 2016.

On November 9, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Sanofi (the “Settlement Agreement”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the promissory note between the Company and Aventisub LLC (“Aventisub”), a Sanofi affiliate, was terminated with Aventisub agreeing to fully forgive the outstanding loan balance of $72.0 million. Sanofi also purchased $10.2 million of insulin from the Company in December 2016 under an existing insulin put option and made a cash payment of $30.6 million to the Company in early January 2017 as acceleration and in replacement of all other payments that Sanofi would otherwise have been required to make in the future pursuant to the insulin put option, without the Company being required to deliver any insulin for such payment. The Company was also relieved of its obligation to pay Sanofi $0.5 million in previously uncharged costs pursuant to the Sanofi License Agreement. The Company and Sanofi also agreed to a general release of potential claims against each other.

 

During their initial transition of the commercial responsibilities from Sanofi in the second half of 2016, the Company utilized a contract sales organization to promote Afrezza while the Company focused its internal resources on establishing a channel strategy, entering into distribution agreements and developing co-pay assistance programs, a voucher program, data agreements and payor relationships. In early 2017, the Company recruited its own sales force to promote Afrezza to endocrinologists and certain high-prescribing primary care physicians. In the future, the Company may seek to supplement its sales force through a co-promotion arrangement – an agreement with a third party that has an underutilized primary care sales force, which can be used to promote Afrezza to greater number of primary care physicians. The Company’s current strategy for future commercialization of Afrezza outside of the United States, subject to receipt of the necessary foreign regulatory approvals, is to seek and establish partnerships in foreign jurisdictions where there are appropriate commercial opportunities.

The Company has never been profitable or generated positive cash flow from cumulative operations to date. Historically, the Company has reported negative cash flow from operations other than for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, for the year ended December 31, 2014, and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2017 as a result of non-recurring payments from Sanofi. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2.8 billion.

At June 30, 2017, the Company’s capital resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $43.4 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenditures to support commercial manufacturing and sales and marketing of Afrezza and the development of product candidates in the Company’s pipeline. The facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. (“Deerfield Private Design Fund”) and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”) that resulted in the issuance of 9.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019 (“2019 notes”) and the First Amendment to Facility Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (the “First Amendment”) that resulted in the issuance of an additional tranche of 8.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2019 (“Tranche B notes”) (see Note 6 — Borrowings) requires the Company to maintain at least $25.0 million in cash and cash equivalents or available borrowings under the loan arrangement, dated as of October 2, 2007, between the Company and The Mann Group LLC (“The Mann Group”) (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified as of the date hereof, “The Mann Group Loan Arrangement”), as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. On June 29, 2017, the Company entered into an Exchange and Third Amendment to Facility Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Deerfield which, among other things, amended such financial covenant to provide that, if certain conditions are met, then the obligation to maintain at least $25.0 million in cash as of the end of each quarter will be reduced to $10.0 million as of August 31, 2017, September 30, 2017, October 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017 (see Note 6 — Borrowings).

On June 27, 2017, the Company borrowed the remaining $30.1 million principal amount available under The Mann Group Loan Arrangement, of which $19.4 million was received in cash and the remaining amount of $10.7 million representing accrued and unpaid interest as of June 30, 2017 was capitalized into borrowed principal (see Note 5 — Related-Party Arrangements). As a result, no additional funds remain available for borrowing under The Mann Group Loan Arrangement. On March 1, 2017, following stockholder approval, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-5. On March 1, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect the 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock from 700,000,000 to 140,000,000 shares. The Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on March 3, 2017. As a result, all common stock share amounts included in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively reduced by a factor of five, and all common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of five, with the exception of the Company’s common stock par value.

On April 18, 2017, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Deerfield resulting in the cash repayment of $4.0 million under the Tranche B notes and the conversion of $1.0 million and $5.0 million of the Tranche B notes and the 2019 notes, respectively, into shares of common stock. On June 29, 2017, the Company entered into the Third Amendment with Deerfield resulting in the conversion of $5.0 million of the 2019 notes into shares of common stock and deferment of the payment of $10.0 million of principal amount of the 2019 notes due July 18, 2017 to August 31, 2017, with an option for the Company to elect to further defer the payment of such principal amount from August 31, 2017 to October 31, 2017 upon the Company’s delivery on August 31, 2017 of a written certification to Deerfield that certain conditions have been met (see Note 6 — Borrowings).

The Company will need to raise additional capital, whether through a sale of equity or debt securities, a strategic business collaboration with another company, the establishment of other funding facilities, licensing arrangements, asset sales or other means, in order to continue the development and commercialization of Afrezza and other product candidates and to support its other ongoing activities. The Company cannot provide assurances that such additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Reclassifications — Certain amounts from previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. Specifically, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, product manufacturing has been renamed to costs of goods sold. In addition, the Company reclassified (gain) loss on foreign currency translation from the previously reported classification of product manufacturing to (gain) loss on foreign currency translation and also reclassified change in fair value of warrant liability from the previously reported classification of other income to change in fair value of warrant liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Correction of an Immaterial Error — Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 on Form 10-K and prior to the filing of financial statements for the first quarter of 2017 on Form 10-Q, the Company determined that the common stock par value as of December 31, 2016 should not have been adjusted for the impact of the reverse stock split on March 3, 2017 as described above. Management evaluated the materiality of the errors from a quantitative and qualitative perspective and concluded that this adjustment was not material to the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016 and that there was no impact to the results of operations for any periods presented. Since the revisions were not material, no amendments to previously filed reports were required. The Company has elected to revise the historical consolidated financial information presented herein to reflect the correction of this error for the prior period presented and to conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. When the accounting requirements for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the recognition of revenue by recording deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until such time that all criteria are met. To date, the Company has had revenue from commercial sales of Afrezza, collaborations, and from the sale of intellectual property and bulk insulin sales, which are described more fully below.

Revenue Recognition – Net Revenue – Commercial Product Sales – Between July 1, 2016 and December 15, 2016, the Company sold Afrezza to Integrated Commercialization Solutions Direct (ICS) and title and risk of loss transferred to ICS upon shipment. After December 15, 2016, ICS became a third party logistics provider and stopped taking title and risk of loss upon shipment of Afrezza to ICS. The Company sells Afrezza in the United States to wholesale pharmaceutical distributors through ICS, and ultimately to retail pharmacies, which are collectively referred to as “customers”. The Company provides the right of return to its wholesale distributors and, through them, to its retail pharmacy customers for unopened product for a period beginning six months prior to and ending twelve months after its expiration date. Once the product has been prescribed and dispensed to the patient, any right of return ceases to exist.

Given the Company’s limited sales history for Afrezza, the Company cannot reliably estimate expected returns of the product at the time of shipment into the distribution channel. Accordingly, the Company defers recognition of revenue on Afrezza product shipments until the right of return no longer exists, which occurs at the earlier of the time Afrezza is dispensed from pharmacies to patients or expiration of the right of return. Deferred revenue is presented net of deferred product sales discounts which are further described in Gross-to-Net Adjustments below. The Company recognizes revenue based on Afrezza patient prescriptions dispensed as estimated by syndicated data provided by a third party. The Company also analyzes additional data points to ensure that such third-party data is reasonable, including data related to inventory movements within the channel and ongoing prescription demand.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, net revenue from commercial product sales consisted of $1.5 million and $2.7 million of net sales of Afrezza dispensed to patients, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the ending balances for net deferred revenue, were $2.6 million and $3.4 million, on its condensed consolidated balance sheets of which $1.0 million and $0.8 million are gross-to-net revenue adjustments, respectively. The difference, as compared with December 31, 2016, represented deferred revenue from bulk insulin sales of approximately $1.7 million, which is described more fully under the heading Revenue Recognition – Revenue – Other below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, shipments to three wholesale distributors represented 93% of total shipments.

 

Gross-to-net Adjustments – Estimated gross-to-net adjustments for Afrezza include wholesaler distribution fees, prompt pay discounts, estimated rebates and chargebacks and patient discount and co-pay assistance programs, and are based on estimated amounts owed or to be claimed on the related sales. These estimates take into consideration the terms of the Company’s agreements with its customers and the levels of inventory within the distribution and retail channels that may result in future rebates or discounts taken. In certain cases, such as patient support programs, the Company recognizes the cost of patient discounts as a reduction of revenue based on estimated utilization. If actual future results vary, the Company may need to adjust these estimates, which could have an effect on product revenue in the period of adjustment. The Company records product sales deductions in the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the time product revenue is recognized. Gross-to-net adjustments were approximately $1.1 million and $1.5 million, which represents 41% and 36% of gross revenue from product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Gross-to-net items that are unpaid at the end of each period are presented in accrued expense and other current liabilities.

Wholesaler Distribution Fees – The Company pays distribution fees to certain wholesale distributors based on contractually determined rates. The Company accrues the distribution fees on shipment to the respective wholesale distributors and recognizes the distribution fees as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Prompt Pay Discounts – The Company offers cash discounts to its customers, generally 2% of the sales price, as an incentive for prompt payment. The Company accounts for cash discounts by reducing accounts receivable and deferred revenue by the prompt pay discount amount (at the time of shipment to the wholesale distributor). The Company recognizes the discount as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Rebates and Chargebacks – The Company participates in federal and state government-managed Medicare and Medicaid programs and, as such, is required to provide rebates under these programs. The Company continues to pursue participation in certain other qualifying federal and state government programs whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating entities. Rebates provided through these other qualifying programs are included in the Medicaid and Medicare rebate accrual. Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted customers purchase directly from an intermediary wholesale purchaser. Contracted customers, which currently consist primarily of Federal government entities purchasing off the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at its contracted price, plus a mark-up from the wholesaler. The wholesaler, in-turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price initially paid by the wholesaler and the contracted price paid to the wholesaler by the customer.

The Company accounts for these rebates and chargebacks by establishing an accrual based on contractual discount rates, expected utilization under each contract and an estimate of the amount of inventory in the distribution channel that will become subject to such rebates and chargebacks based on historical payor data provided by a third-party vendor along with additional data including forecasted participation rates. From that data, as well as input received from the commercial team, an estimated participation rate for each program is determined and applied at the rate for those sales. Any new information regarding changes in the programs’ regulations and guidelines or any changes in the Company’s government price reporting calculations that would impact the amount of the rebates will also be taken into account in determining or modifying the appropriate reserve. The time period between the date the product is sold into the channel and the date such rebates may be paid can be up to approximately six to nine months. As such, continuous monitoring of these estimates will be performed on a periodic basis, and if necessary, adjusted to reflect new facts and circumstances. Rebates and chargebacks are recognized as a reduction of gross revenue in the period the related revenue is recognized.

Other Rebates and Discounts – The Company has entered into agreements with certain third-party payors and with pharmacy benefit managers that act as an intermediary with certain third-party payors in the fulfillment of prescriptions. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to provide certain contracted discounts to ease access to reimbursement for Afrezza patients including, but not limited to, the removal of prior authorization or step edit requirements or modifying the reimbursement tier under the payor’s formulary. The Company accounts for these charges by establishing an accrual based on the contracted discount rates and, with input received from management, estimated participation rates.

Patient Discount and Co-Pay Assistance Programs – The Company offers discount card programs to patients for Afrezza in which patients receive discounts on their prescriptions or a reduction in their co-pay amounts that are reimbursed by the Company. The Company estimates the total amount that will be redeemed based on levels of inventory in the distribution and retail channels and recognizes the discount as a reduction of gross revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Deferred Costs from Commercial Product Sales — Deferred costs from commercial product sales represents the cost of product (including labor, overhead and shipping costs to the third party logistics provider) shipped to wholesale distributors, but not dispensed by retail pharmacies to patients. If the Company estimates that inventory that has been shipped to wholesale distributors will be returned for credit because there is a risk of product expiry, deferred costs of commercial product sales is reduced and cost of goods sold is increased for the cost of such inventory.

Revenue Recognition – Net Revenue – Collaborations – The Company enters into collaborations under which the Company must perform certain obligations and receives periodic payments. The Company evaluates the collaborations under the multiple element revenue recognition accounting guidance. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered elements have stand-alone value to the customer. When deliverables are separable, consideration received is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on the relative selling price of each deliverable and the appropriate revenue recognition principles are applied to each unit. The assessment of multiple element arrangements requires judgment in order to determine the appropriate units of accounting and the points in time that, or periods over which, revenue should be recognized. The terms of and the accounting for the Company’s collaborations are described more fully in Note 7 — Collaboration Arrangements.

Revenue Recognition — Revenue — Other consists of revenue from bulk insulin sales and the sale of intellectual property to Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial Development Co. Ltd. (“Fosun”), which is accounted for under the multiple-deliverable revenue recognition guidance and more fully described in Note 8— Sale of Intellectual Property. Revenue from bulk insulin sales are recognized after delivery and customer acceptance of the bulk insulin. When the accounting requirements for revenue recognition of bulk insulin sales are not met, the Company defers recognition of revenue until such time that all criteria are met. The ending balance in deferred revenue related to bulk insulin sales was approximately $1.7 million as of December 31, 2016. There was no deferred revenue related to bulk insulin sales as of June 30, 2017.

Cost of Goods Sold — Cost of goods sold includes the costs related to Afrezza product dispensed by pharmacies to patients as well as under-absorbed labor and overhead and inventory write-offs, which are recorded as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, rather than as a portion of the inventory cost.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances — Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company makes ongoing assumptions relating to the collectability of its accounts receivable in its calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the Company estimates that inventory that has been shipped to wholesale distributors will be returned for credit because there is risk of product expiration, the Company reduces deferred revenue and increases the allowance for returns for such inventory. As of June 30, 2017, there was $0.2 million in allowance for returns. As of December 31, 2016, there was no allowance for returns. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has three wholesale distributors representing approximately 93% and 95% of gross accounts receivable, respectively.

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with the Company’s products based on management’s judgment that future economic benefits are expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as cost of goods sold. The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value and writes down such inventories, as appropriate. In addition, the Company’s products are subject to strict quality control and monitoring which the Company performs throughout the manufacturing process. If certain batches or units of product no longer meet quality specifications or may become obsolete or are forecasted to become obsolete due to expiration, the Company will record a charge to write down such unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value.

Recognized Loss on Purchase Commitments — The Company assesses whether losses on long term purchase commitments should be accrued. Losses that are expected to arise from firm, non-cancellable, commitments for the future purchases are recognized unless recoverable. When making the assessment, the Company also considers whether it is able to renegotiate with its vendors. The recognized loss on purchase commitments is reduced as inventory items are purchased. No new contracts were identified in 2017 or 2016 that required a new loss on purchase commitment accrual.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities (excluding the milestone rights liability) approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value of the cash equivalents, note payable to principal stockholder (also referred to as The Mann Group Loan Arrangement), senior convertible notes, the facility financing obligation, the milestone rights liability and the warrant liability are disclosed in Note 9 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation — Share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based awards and the compensatory elements of employee stock purchase plans, are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based upon the fair value of the awards at the grant date, subject to an estimated forfeiture rate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of employee stock options and the compensatory elements of employee stock purchase plans. Restricted stock units are valued based on the market price on the grant date. The Company evaluates stock awards with performance conditions as to the probability that the performance conditions will be met and estimates the date at which the performance conditions will be met in order to properly recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period.

 

Warrants — The Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The Company accounts for its warrants as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument and evaluation of sufficient authorized shares available to satisfy the obligations. Warrants classified as derivative liabilities are recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date, with fair value changes recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative liabilities using a third party valuation analysis that utilizes a Monte Carlo pricing valuation model and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate. Warrants classified as equity are recorded within additional paid-in capital at the issuance date and are not re-measured in subsequent periods, unless the underlying assumptions change to trigger liability accounting.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock — Basic net loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution under the treasury method that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For periods where the Company has presented a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue when promised goods or services to customers. The standard requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional ASU’s which clarified certain aspects of the new guidance.

The Company will adopt the new guidance for the year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company has the option to either apply the new guidance retrospectively for all prior reporting periods presented (full retrospective) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective). The Company currently anticipates it will apply the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initial application recognized as of January 1, 2018. The Company plans to continue analyzing the potential impacts of the application throughout 2017 and, depending on factors that may impact the results, could elect to apply the new guidance on a full retrospective basis.

Currently, for commercial sales of Afrezza, the Company has limited sales and returns history, and as such is unable to reliably estimate expected returns of the product at the time of shipment into the distribution channel. Accordingly, the Company defers recognition of revenue on Afrezza product shipments until the right of return no longer exists, which occurs at the earliest of the time Afrezza is dispensed from pharmacies to patients or expiration of the right of return. The Company recognizes revenue based on Afrezza patient prescriptions dispensed, a sell-through model, as estimated by syndicated data provided by a third party. The Company also analyzes additional data points to ensure that such third-party data is reasonable, including data related to inventory movements within the channel and ongoing prescription demand.

 

Upon adoption of the new guidance, the Company expects that it will move from its current sell-through model to a sell-to model for revenue related to commercial sales of Afrezza and will record revenue at the time title and risk of loss passes to its distributors (generally at shipment or delivery to the distributors) along with an estimate of potential returns as variable consideration. The Company also anticipates that its ability to estimate potential returns will improve with an additional six months of sales history that it will have obtained by January 1, 2018.

Additionally, the Company has historically entered into collaborative agreements with third-parties under which periodic payments have been received. Revenue recognition for certain payments received have been deferred until the price is fixed and determinable. Further, revenue for certain payments to be received in the future has been prohibited from recognition until received. The Company expects that some of these amounts will be considered variable consideration and may be able to be recognized earlier under the new guidance.

The financial impact upon the adoption will be dependent upon a number of factors, including the amount of revenue that has been deferred under the sell-through model for Afrezza, the amount of the revenue deferred under collaborative arrangements and the Company’s estimate of variable consideration at the date of adoption. At this time, the Company has not completed its evaluation of the inputs, assumptions and methodologies that will be used to recognize revenue related to variable consideration under the new guidance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial InstrumentsOverall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.
