BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.
Organization and Description of Business

BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to discover, create, test and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases and cancers with clear genetic drivers. BridgeBio’s pipeline of development programs ranges from early science to advanced clinical trials. BridgeBio was founded in 2015 and its team of experienced drug discoverers, developers and innovators are committed to applying advances in genetic medicine to help patients as quickly as possible.

Since inception, BridgeBio has either created wholly-owned subsidiaries or has made investments in certain controlled entities, including partially-owned subsidiaries for which BridgeBio has a majority voting interest, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which BridgeBio is the primary beneficiary (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”). BridgeBio is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities, substantially all of which are denominated in U.S. dollars. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, we record net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties.

 

In determining whether an entity is considered a controlled entity, we applied the VIE and Voting Interest Entity (“VOE”) models. We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, BridgeBio consolidates the entity if it determines that it has a controlling financial interest in the entity through its ownership of greater than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the entity and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights. We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE or whether we have a majority voting interest for entities consolidated under the VOE model at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, our results of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and our cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other future annual or interim periods.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no net effect on cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities as previously reported.

Restricted Cash

Our restricted cash balance relates to cash and cash equivalents that we have pledged as collateral under certain lease agreements and letters of credit.

Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances, including restructuring and exit activities, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.

Costs related to contracts without future benefit or contract termination are recognized at the earlier of the contract termination or the cease-use dates. Employee severance costs are generally recognized when payments are probable and amounts are reasonably estimable. Other exit-related costs are recognized as incurred.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, the novel strain of coronavirus that causes Coronavirus disease 19 (“COVID-19”), a global pandemic. Since then, the resources of healthcare providers and hospitals have been focused on fighting the virus and any variants of the virus, and we have experienced delays in or temporary suspension of the enrollment of patients in our subsidiaries’ ongoing clinical trials. Additionally, we may experience delays in certain ongoing key program activities, including commencement of planned clinical trials, as well as non-clinical experiments and Investigational New Drug Application-enabling good laboratory practice toxicology studies. The exact timing of delays and their overall impact on our business are currently unknown and we are monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as it continues to evolve. While certain measures have been relaxed in certain parts of the world as increasing numbers of people have received COVID-19 vaccines, others have remained in place with some areas continuing to experience renewed outbreaks and surges in infection rates. The extent to which such measures are removed or new measures are put in place will depend upon how the pandemic evolves, as well as the distribution of available vaccines, the rates at which they are administered and the emergence of new variants of the virus. We are continuing to actively monitor the situation and may take further precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of public health and safety and that of our patient community, employees, partners, suppliers, and stockholders. We cannot predict the effects that such actions, or the impact of COVID-19 on global business operations and economic conditions, may have on our business or strategy, including the effects on our ongoing and planned clinical development activities and prospects or on our financial and operating results.

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, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

accruals for research and development activities and contingent clinical, development, regulatory, and sales-based milestone payments in our in-licensing agreements and asset acquisitions,
accruals for performance-based milestone compensation arrangements, and
the expected recoverability and estimated useful lives of our long-lived assets.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the periods presented.

There are uncertainties on the fair value measurement of the instrument classified under Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs and interrelationships between these unobservable inputs, which could result in higher or lower fair value measurements.

Marketable Securities

The fair value of our marketable securities classified within Level 2 is based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.

Investment in Equity Securities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have an investment in LianBio whose fair value amounted to $18.6 million and $30.8 million, respectively. This investment was originally accounted for under the equity method until it was converted into an investment in equity securities that is accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321, Investments — Equity Securities, upon LianBio’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in November 2021 (see Note 7).

The LianBio shares were subject to a lock-up agreement, which restricted our ability to sell the securities through April 2022. There are no restrictions on our ability to sell the other investment in equity securities, which had a fair value of $19.2 million and $18.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

We classify our investment in equity securities, which are currently equity securities of publicly held companies, within Level 1 as the fair values of these equity securities are derived from observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.

Total realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with investment in equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Total net losses included in “Other income (expense), net”

 

$

(12,866

)

 

 

 

 

There were no such gains and losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

LianBio Warrant

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our subsidiary, QED Therapeutics, Inc. (“QED”), held a warrant which entitles QED to purchase shares of LianBio (the “LianBio Warrant”, see Note 7). We classify the LianBio Warrant, which pertains to an equity security of a publicly held company, within Level 1 as the fair value of this equity security is derived from observable inputs such as quoted prices in an active market.

Notes

The fair values of our 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and our 2.50% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) (collectively, the “Notes”, see Note 10), which differ from their respective carrying values, are determined by prices for the Notes observed in market trading. The market for trading of the Notes is not considered to be an active market and therefore the estimate of fair value is based on Level 2 inputs. As of March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes, which have aggregate face values of $747.5 million and $550.0 million, respectively, were $359.2 million and $330.0 million, respectively, based on their market prices on the last trading day for the period. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of our 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes were $444.8 million and $407.1 million, respectively, based on the market price on the last trading day for the period.

Term Loan

The fair value of our outstanding term loan (see Note 10) is estimated using the net present value of the payments, discounted at an interest rate that is consistent with a market interest rate, which is a Level 2 input. The estimated fair value of our outstanding term loan as of March 31, 2022 was $435.9 million. The estimated fair value of our outstanding term loan as of December 31, 2021 approximated the carrying amount as the term loan was issued close to that date.

LEO Call Option Liability

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we no longer recognized the LEO call option that we previously carried as a liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In November 2018, LEO Pharma (“LEO”) was granted an exclusive, irrevocable option to acquire our subsidiary, PellePharm, Inc. (“PellePharm”). The LEO call option was exercisable by LEO on or before the occurrence of certain events relating to PellePharm’s clinical development programs and no later than July 30, 2021. We accounted for the LEO call option as a current liability because we were obligated to sell our shares in PellePharm to LEO at a pre-determined

price, if the option were to be exercised. We remeasured the LEO call option to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date, using unobservable inputs that were classified as Level 3 inputs, until the LEO call option either was exercised, terminated or had expired. On March 30, 2021, LEO provided a notice of termination of the LEO call option effective April 15, 2021. As a result, and based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of March 31, 2021, we evaluated that the likelihood of LEO exercising said option was remote and we remeasured the LEO call option liability to zero as of March 31, 2021. We recognized a gain on remeasurement of the LEO call option liability of $5.6 million that was included in “Other income (expense), net” for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

Cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market instruments, such as money market funds and repurchase agreements collateralized with securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. Our marketable securities consist of high investment grade fixed income securities that are primarily invested in commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. government securities.

There have been no significant realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities for the periods presented. There were no available-for-sale securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our marketable securities have average contractual maturities of approximately five and six months, respectively. We believe that we have the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon their respective maturities.

Eidos

From the date of BridgeBio’s initial investment until June 22, 2018, the Eidos initial public offering (“IPO”) closing date, Eidos was determined to be a VIE and BridgeBio consolidated Eidos as the primary beneficiary. Subsequent to the Eidos IPO, BridgeBio determined that Eidos was no longer a VIE due to Eidos having sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. From June 22, 2018 through January 26, 2021, BridgeBio determined that it held greater than 50% of the voting shares of Eidos and there were no other parties with substantive participating, liquidation or kick-out rights. BridgeBio consolidated Eidos under the VOE model until January 26, 2021, the date on which the Merger Transactions (as defined below) were consummated.

On October 5, 2020, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eidos, Globe Merger Sub I, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Globe Merger Sub II, Inc. (the two latter companies being our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries), providing for, in a series of merger transactions (the “Merger Transactions”), the acquisition by us of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Eidos (the “Eidos Common Stock”) other than shares of Eidos Common Stock that (i) were owned by Eidos as treasury stock, (ii) were owned by us and our subsidiaries and, in each case, not owned on behalf of third parties and (iii) were subject to an Eidos Restricted Share Award (as defined below). Under the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of Eidos had the right to receive, at their election, either 1.85 shares of our common stock or $73.26 in cash per Eidos share in the transaction, subject to proration as necessary to ensure that the aggregate amount of cash consideration was no greater than $175.0 million. In addition, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger of Merger Sub with and into Eidos (the “Effective Time”), (i) each option to purchase Eidos Common Stock (an “Eidos Option”) were to be converted into an option, on the same terms and conditions applicable to such Eidos Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, to purchase a specified number of shares of BridgeBio common stock, calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) each outstanding award of shares of Eidos Common Stock that was subject to forfeiture conditions (subject to certain exceptions) (each, an “Eidos Restricted Share Award”) was to be converted into an award, on the same terms and conditions applicable to such Eidos Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, covering a number of whole restricted shares of BridgeBio common stock, calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, with any fractional shares being paid out to the holder of such Eidos Restricted Share Award in cash (conversion of the Eidos Option and the Eidos Restricted Share Awards collectively referred to as the “Eidos Awards Exchange”).

On January 19, 2021, the stockholders of each of BridgeBio and Eidos voted to approve all proposals related to the Merger Transactions and on January 26, 2021, we closed and completed the Merger Transactions. The acquisition of the Eidos Common Stock was settled through an aggregate consideration of $1,651.6 million, which was comprised of cash payments of $21.3 million and the issuance of 26,156,446 shares of our common stock, with a total fair value of approximately $1,630.3 million. We accounted for the purchase of the outstanding Eidos Common Stock as acquisition of noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. Under ASC 810, the carrying amount of the Eidos noncontrolling interest was adjusted to reflect the change in our ownership interest, and the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid, and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest was adjusted was recognized in equity. Such difference recognized as a reduction in equity amounted to $1,613.4 million and was recorded within “Additional paid-in capital” for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We continued to recognize the assets and liabilities of Eidos at their respective historical values as of the closing date of the Merger Transactions.

Through the closing of the Merger Transactions, we incurred transaction costs aggregating $70.7 million that were recorded in “Additional paid-in capital” for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Upon closing and completion of the Merger Transactions with Eidos, Eidos became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Eidos’ common stock ceased to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market prior to the opening of business on January 26, 2021 and Eidos’ Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2021.

 

6.
Noncontrolling Interests

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had both redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in consolidated partially-owned entities, for which BridgeBio is the primary beneficiary under the VIE model. These balances are reported as separate components outside stockholders’ deficit in “Redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests” and as part of stockholders’ deficit in “Noncontrolling interests” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We adjust the carrying value of noncontrolling interests to reflect the book value attributable to noncontrolling shareholders of consolidated partially-owned entities when there is a change in the ownership during the respective reporting period and such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the adjustments in the aggregate amounted to $(0.3) million and $1.7 million, respectively. All such adjustments are disclosed within the “Transfers from (to) noncontrolling interests” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of redeemable convertible noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity (deficit).

7.
Equity Method and Other Equity Investments

In October 2019, our subsidiary, BridgeBio Pharma LLC (“BBP LLC”), entered into an exclusivity agreement with LianBio, pursuant to which BBP LLC received equity in LianBio representing a 10% ownership interest, valued at approximately $3.8 million at the time of the transaction. The equity interest was issued in consideration for certain rights of first negotiation and rights of first offer granted by BBP LLC to LianBio with respect to specified transactions covering intellectual property rights owned or controlled by BBP LLC or its affiliates in certain territories outside the United States. The equity interest gave BBP LLC the right to appoint or remove one director to the board of directors of LianBio, and, therefore, the ability to exercise significant influence over LianBio. As a result, we accounted for this investment under the equity method and LianBio was considered a related party.

There were no impairments and the carrying amount of the equity method investment represented our maximum loss exposure related to our investment in LianBio during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

On November 1, 2021, LianBio completed its IPO. Upon completion of the LianBio IPO, BBP LLC’s ownership in LianBio was reduced to approximately 4.7% of LianBio’s fully-diluted equity and, pursuant to the exclusivity agreement, BBP LLC’s right to appoint or remove one director to the board of directors of LianBio was terminated. As of November 1, 2021, BBP LLC no longer exercises significant influence over LianBio; and, therefore, we accounted for BBP LLC’s equity interest in LianBio under ASC 321. LianBio is also no longer considered a related party. Consequently, we recognized a $68.5 million gain on conversion from equity method investment to investment in equity securities during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we recorded $50.0 million and $37.7 million, respectively, in cumulative unrealized loss for the ongoing mark-to-market adjustments of this investment.

Pursuant to a License Agreement entered into in October 2019 between QED and LianBio, QED also received warrants which entitled QED to purchase 10% of the then-fully diluted shares of one of the subsidiaries of LianBio upon achievement of certain contingent development milestones. Changes in fair value of the warrants were not material in 2021.

In October 2021, the warrants held by QED to purchase shares of one of the subsidiaries of LianBio were converted into the LianBio Warrant, which entitles QED to purchase 347,569 shares of LianBio. The LianBio Warrant is measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as part of “Other income (expense), net”. The LianBio Warrant, which is presented as part of “Other assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, had a fair value of $1.3 million and $2.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Novartis License Agreement

In January 2018, QED entered into a License Agreement with Novartis International Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Novartis”), pursuant to which QED acquired certain intellectual property rights, including patents and know-how, related to infigratinib for the treatment of patients with FGFR-driven diseases. If certain substantial milestones are met, QED could be required to pay up to $60.0 million in regulatory milestone payments, $35.0 million in sales-based milestone payments, and pay royalties of up to low double-digit percentages on net sales. Following the approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of TRUSELTIQTM in May 2021, we paid a one-time regulatory milestone payment to Novartis of $20.0 million. We capitalized such payment as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortize the amount over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis.

Asset Purchase Agreement with Alexion

In June 2018, our subsidiary Origin Biosciences, Inc. (“Origin”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Alexion Pharma Holding Unlimited Company (“Alexion”) to acquire intellectual property rights, including patent rights, know-how, and contracts, related to the ALXN1101 molecule. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Origin could be required to pay up to $18.8 million if a certain condition is met. Such a condition was met in 2021, resulting in a one-time final payment of $15.0 million, which we capitalized as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortize it over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. In addition, under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Origin could also be required to pay up to $1.0 million in regulatory-based milestone payment, $17.0 million in sales-based milestone payments and royalties of up to low double-digit percentages on net sales.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between Origin and Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sentynl”) in March 2022 (the “Origin-Sentynl APA”, see Note 13), Sentynl assumed the obligation to pay sales-based milestone payments and royalties to Alexion that occur subsequent to the closing of the Origin-Sentynl APA when they become due. Origin will continue to be responsible for a regulatory-based milestone payment of up to $1.0 million when it becomes due. As a result of the Origin-Sentynl APA, we also derecognized the associated intangible asset with a net book value of $13.5 million as this was part of the assets that were transferred to Sentynl.

Diagnostics Agreement with Foundation Medicine

In November 2018, QED and Foundation Medicine, Inc. (“FMI”) entered into a companion diagnostics agreement relating to QED’s drug discovery and development initiatives. Pursuant to the agreement, QED could be required to pay $12.5 million in regulatory approval milestones over a period of four years subsequent to the FDA approval of a companion diagnostic for TRUSELTIQ in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The FDA approved the companion diagnostic for TRUSELTIQ in May 2021, which resulted in the capitalization of $12.5 million as a finite-lived intangible asset to be amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount due to FMI is presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets in “Other accrued liabilities” for $1.5 million and “Other long-term liabilities” for $11.0 million. Refer to Note 11 for related discussion on the amount due to FMI.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Milestone Compensation Arrangements

We have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole discretion. We also have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants as part of the 2020 Stock and Equity Award Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”, see Note 16). The compensation arrangements under the Exchange Program are to be settled in the form of equity only. Performance-based milestone awards that are settled in the form of equity are satisfied in the form of fully-vested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”). We accrue for such contingent compensation when the related milestone is probable of achievement and is recorded in “Accrued compensation and benefits” for the current portion and in “Other long-term liabilities” for the noncurrent portion in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There is no accrued compensation expense for performance-based milestone awards that are assessed to be not probable of achievement. The table below shows our commitment for the potential milestone amounts and the accruals for milestones deemed probable of achievement as of March 31, 2022.

Other Research and Development and Commercial Agreements

We may also enter into contracts in the normal course of business with contract research organizations for clinical trials, with contract manufacturing organizations for clinical supplies, and with other vendors for preclinical studies, supplies, and other services and products for commercial and operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice with potential termination charges. As of March 31, 2022 we have accrued for certain fees that we have incurred related to reprioritization of our research and development projects of approximately $1.1 million (see Note 17). As of December 31, 2021, there were no material amounts accrued related to termination charges.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners, board members, officers, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, our negligence or willful misconduct, violations of law, or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. No material demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We also maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors. To date, we have not incurred any material costs and have not accrued any liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these provisions.

Contingencies

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

Debt

Notes

2029 Notes

On January 28, 2021, we issued an aggregate of $717.5 million principal amount of our 2029 Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated January 28, 2021 (the “2029 Notes Indenture”), between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “2029 Notes Trustee”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (the “2021 Note Offering”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2029 Notes issued in the 2021 Note Offering include $67.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes sold to the initial purchasers (the “2029 Notes Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to the exercise in part of the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ option to purchase $97.5 million principal amount of additional 2029 Notes. On January 28, 2021, the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers exercised the remaining portion of their option to purchase $30.0 million principal amount of additional 2029 Notes. The sale of those additional 2029 Notes closed on February 2, 2021.

The 2029 Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021, at a rate of 2.25% per year. The 2029 Notes will mature on February 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2029 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of BridgeBio’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of BridgeBio’s common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering of approximately $731.4 million, after deducting the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ discount (there were no direct offering expenses borne by us for the 2029 Notes). We used approximately $61.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the 2021 Capped Call Transactions described below and approximately $50.0 million to pay for the repurchase of shares of BridgeBio common stock described below.

A holder of 2029 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at its option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 1, 2028 in multiples of $1,000 only under the following circumstances:

During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
During the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
If we call such notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture.

On or after November 1, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing.

The conversion rate will initially be 10.3050 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $97.04 per share of BridgeBio’s common stock, for a total of approximately 7,702,988 shares).

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2029 Notes in connection with such a corporate event. The maximum number of shares issuable should there be an increase in the conversion rate is 11,361,851 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock.

We may not redeem the 2029 Notes prior to February 6, 2026. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes, at our option, on a redemption date occurring on or after February 6, 2026 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, under certain circumstances. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2029 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2029 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the 2029 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2029 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2029 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated, including our 2027 Notes; effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

 

In connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, we incurred approximately $16.1 million of debt issuance costs, which consisted of initial purchasers’ discounts. This was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2029 Notes or approximately their eight-year term.

2027 Notes

On March 9, 2020, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million of our 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), pursuant to an Indenture dated March 9, 2020 (the “2027 Notes Indenture”), between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “2027 Notes Trustee”), in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers (the “2020 Note Offering”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 2027 Notes issued in the 2020 Note Offering include $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes sold to the initial purchasers (the “2027 Notes Initial Purchasers”) resulting from the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional 2027 Notes.

The 2027 Notes will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The 2027 Notes will mature on March 15, 2027, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The 2027 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of BridgeBio’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of BridgeBio’s common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering of approximately $537.0 million, after deducting the 2027 Notes Initial Purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used approximately $49.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the 2020 Capped Call Transactions described below, and approximately $75.0 million to pay for the repurchase of shares of BridgeBio common stock described below.

A holder of 2027 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2027 Notes at its option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2026 in multiples of $1,000 only under the following circumstances:

During any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (the “Conversion Price Condition”);
During the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day (the “Conversion Rate Condition”); or
Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture.

On or after December 15, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2027 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing.

The conversion rate will initially be 23.4151 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $42.71 per share of BridgeBio’s common stock, for a total of approximately 12,878,305 shares). Based on the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2022, the if-converted value of the 2027 Notes did not exceed its principal amount.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2027 Notes in connection with such a corporate event. The maximum number of shares issuable should there be an increase in the conversion rate is 17,707,635 shares of BridgeBio’s common stock.

We may not redeem the 2027 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the 2027 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2027 Notes Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2027 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2027 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the 2027 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the 2027 Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2027 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of BridgeBio’s liabilities that are not so subordinated, including our 2029 Notes; effectively junior to any of BridgeBio’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

In accounting for the issuance of the 2027 Notes in 2020 under ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, we separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the 2027 Notes by allocating the proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion options, or equity component, due to our ability to settle the 2027 Notes in cash, BridgeBio common stock, or a combination of cash and BridgeBio common stock at our option. Effective January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, and, as a result, we no longer separately account for the liability and equity components of the 2027 Notes, and, instead, account for our 2027 Notes wholly as debt.

In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, we incurred approximately $13.0 million of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of initial purchasers’ discounts and legal and other professional fees. We allocated these costs to the liability and equity components based on the allocation of the proceeds. The portion of these costs allocated to the equity component totaling approximately $4.1 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in 2020. The portion of these costs allocated to the liability component totaling approximately $8.9 million was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2027 Notes or approximately their seven-year term.

Capped Call and Share Repurchase Transactions with Respect to the Notes

On each of January 25, 2021 and March 4, 2020, concurrently with the pricing of the 2029 Notes and 2027 Notes, respectively, we entered into separate privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “2021 Capped Call Transactions” and the “2020 Capped Call Transactions”, respectively, together the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). We used approximately $61.3 million and $49.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering and 2020 Note Offering, respectively, to pay for the cost of the respective Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to BridgeBio’s common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $131.58 for the 2021 Capped Call Transactions and $62.12 for the 2020 Capped Call Transactions (both of which represented a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of BridgeBio’s common stock on the date of the Capped Call Transactions) and are subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The 2021 Capped Calls and 2020 Capped Calls cover 7,702,988 shares and 12,878,305 shares, respectively, of our common stock (subject to anti-dilution and certain other adjustments), which are the same number of shares of common stock that initially underlie the Notes. The 2021 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $97.04 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2029 Notes. The 2020 Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $42.71 per share, which corresponds to

 

21

(Unaudited)

 

the initial conversion price of the 2027 Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions, entered into by us with the Capped Call Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes.

These Capped Call instruments meet the conditions outlined in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, to be classified in stockholders’ equity and are not subsequently remeasured as long as the conditions for equity classification continue to be met. We recorded a reduction to additional paid-in capital of approximately $61.3 million and $49.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the premium payments for the Capped Call Transactions.

Additionally, we used approximately $50.0 million and $75.0 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering and 2020 Note Offering to repurchase 759,993 shares and 2,414,681 shares, respectively, of our common stock concurrently with the closing of the Note Offerings from certain of the Notes’ Initial Purchasers in privately negotiated transactions. The agreed purchase price per share of common stock in the repurchases were $65.79 and $31.06, which were the last reported sale prices per share of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on January 25, 2021 and March 4, 2020, respectively. The shares repurchased were recorded as treasury stock.

Term Loans

Loan and Security Agreement

In November 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among (i) U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), (ii) certain lenders (the “Lenders”), (iii) BridgeBio, as a borrower, and (iv) certain subsidiaries of BridgeBio, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders agreed to extend term loans to us in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million, comprised of (i) a tranche 1 advance of $450.0 million (the “Tranche 1 Advance”), and (ii) a tranche 2 advance of $300.0 million (the “Tranche 2 Advance”) (collectively, the “Term Loan Advances”). The Tranche 1 Advance under the Loan Agreement was funded on November 17, 2021. The Tranche 2 Advance, which will remain available for funding until December 31, 2022, is available at our election after the occurrence of certain milestone events relating to data from our clinical trials.

As security for our obligations under the Loan Agreement, each of BridgeBio and the Guarantors granted the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing security interest in substantially all of the assets of BridgeBio and the Guarantors (including all equity interests owned or hereafter acquired by BridgeBio and the Guarantors), subject to certain customary exceptions. Upon exceeding certain investment and disposition thresholds, additional subsidiaries of BridgeBio will be required to join as guarantors.

Any outstanding principal on the Term Loan Advances will accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to 9.0% per annum, 3.00% of which can be a payment-in-kind (“PIK”). Interest payments are payable quarterly following the funding of a Term Loan Advance. We will be required to make principal payments on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Advances commencing on January 2, 2025 (the “Term Loan Amortization Date”) in nine quarterly installments, plus interest. If we have achieved certain milestone events relating to data from the clinical trial of acoramidis (the “Acoramidis Milestone”) on or prior to January 1, 2025, then the Term Loan Amortization Date will be automatically extended to January 2, 2026. Any amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Advances are due and payable on November 17, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).

We may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances at any time (in whole, but not in part), plus accrued and unpaid interest and a prepayment premium ranging from 1% to 3% of the principal amount outstanding depending on the timing of payment (plus a customary make-whole amount if prepaid on or prior to November 17, 2022).

At the Lenders’ election, we are also required to make mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain prepayment events related to the repurchase or redemption of pledged collateral, entry into certain royalty transactions, disposition of other assets or subsidiaries, and entry into licensing and other monetization transactions (all such events “prepayment events”), which could be 50% or 75% of net cash proceeds from such transaction depending on achievement of the Acoramidis Milestone.

Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirements for certain prepayment events, the Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and limited negative covenants which, among other things, limit our ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make certain distributions, (iii) dispose of our assets, grant liens, license or encumber our assets or (iv) fundamentally alter the nature of our business. BridgeBio and the Guarantors have broad ability to license our intellectual property, dispose of other assets and enter into monetization and royalty transactions, subject in each case to the requirement to make a mandatory prepayment

described above. The Loan Agreement provides that BridgeBio and the Guarantors may, subject to certain limitations, (x) repurchase the BridgeBio’s equity interest and the equity interest of any of its subsidiaries, (y) enter into any joint ventures or similar investments, and (z) make other investments and acquisitions. Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirement described above, portfolio companies owned by BridgeBio that are not parties to the Loan Agreement are, subject to certain exceptions, not subject to any covenants or limitations under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including among other things, our failure to make any principal or interest payments when due, the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events or the breach of the covenants under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, accelerate our obligations under the Loan Agreement.

We received net proceeds from the Tranche 1 Advance of $431.3 million, after deducting debt discount and issuance costs of $18.7 million, of which approximately $1.1 million of debt issuance cost were incurred for professional services provided by KKR Capital Markets LLC. KKR Capital Markets LLC is an affiliate of KKR Genetic Disorder L.P., a related party being a principal stockholder of BridgeBio.

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we exercised our option to convert $1.8 million of accrued interest into principal via PIK for the three months ended March 31, 2022. On April 1, 2022, we exercised our option to convert an additional $3.3 million of accrued interest into principal via PIK.

Hercules Loan and Security Agreement

We had a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended from time to time, with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”) (the “Hercules Term Loan”) under which we borrowed principal amounts of $35.0 million (“Tranche I”), $20.0 million (“Tranche II”), $20.0 million (“Tranche III”) and $25.0 million (“Tranche IV”).

In January 2021, we executed the Fifth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement primarily to allow us to issue our 2029 Notes and to enter into the related 2021 Capped Call and share repurchase transactions.

In April 2021, we executed the Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Hercules Term Loan”), which, among other things:

provided for an additional principal borrowing amounting to $25.0 million (the proceeds of which were received by us as Tranche IV upon the execution of the Amended Hercules Term Loan);
extended the interest-only period to June 1, 2024 and the Maturity Date to May 1, 2025, each of which may be further extended subject to certain conditions; and
provided for an interest rate on the outstanding principal balance equal to the greater of (x) the prime rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 4.40% and (y) 7.65%, payable monthly.

There were no gains or losses arising from the amendment in April 2021, which was considered a debt modification. The Amended Hercules Term Loan was prepaid in full in November 2021 using a portion of the net proceeds from the Tranche 1 Advance under the Loan Agreement mentioned above.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized interest expense related to the Hercules Term Loan of $2.0 million, of which $0.3 million relates to amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.

Silicon Valley Bank and Hercules Loan Agreement

Eidos entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and Hercules Capital, Inc. (the “SVB and Hercules Loan Agreement”), under which Eidos borrowed a principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Tranche A loan”) in November 2019. The Tranche A loan was subject to an interest rate equal to the greater of either (i) 8.50% or (ii) 3.25% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal (8.50% during the relevant period in 2021) and had an original maturity date of October 2, 2023.

The Tranche A loan also provided for a final payment charge equal to 5.95% multiplied by the amount funded to be paid when the loan becomes due or upon prepayment of the facility. If Eidos elected to prepay the Tranche A loan, there was also a prepayment fee of between 0.75% and 2.50% of the principal amount being prepaid depending on the timing and circumstances of prepayment. The Tranche A loan was secured by substantially all of Eidos’ assets, except Eidos’ intellectual property, which was the subject of a negative pledge.

In January 2021, Eidos entered into an amendment to the SVB and Hercules Loan Agreement primarily to allow Eidos to enter into the Merger Transactions. The amendment also required Eidos to maintain a certain amount of cash and cash equivalents with SVB.

The Tranche A loan was prepaid in full in April 2021 using a portion of the proceeds from Tranche IV under the Amended Hercules Term Loan discussed above. Loss on prepayment of the Tranche A loan recognized by Eidos was not material. Interest expense on the Tranche A loan was not material in 2021 through the prepayment date.

License and Collaboration Agreement with Helsinn

On March 29, 2021, QED entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Helsinn Healthcare S.A. (“HHC”) and Helsinn Therapeutics (U.S.), Inc. (“HTU”, and collectively with HHC, “Helsinn”) (the “QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement”), pursuant to which QED granted to HHC exclusive licenses to develop, manufacture and commercialize QED’s product candidate, infigratinib, in oncology and all other indications except achondroplasia or any other skeletal dysplasias, worldwide, except for the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau (“Greater China”), and under which QED received a co-exclusive license to co-commercialize infigratinib in the United States in the licensed indications. Under this agreement, Helsinn is likewise entitled to a right of first negotiation with respect to specific territories subject to the occurrence of a contingent event. As part of this agreement,

QED was also required to transfer inventory within the transitional period, as described in the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement. The QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement became effective on April 16, 2021. Under the terms of the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, QED was eligible to receive payments totaling up to approximately $2.45 billion in the aggregate, including over $100.0 million in upfront, regulatory and launch milestone payments, and the remainder subject to the achievement of specified commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties in the high teens as a percentage of adjusted net sales by Helsinn of the licensed products sold worldwide, outside of the United States and Greater China. Upon approval by the FDA, QED and HTU will co-commercialize infigratinib in the licensed indications in the United States and will share profits and losses on a 50:50 basis. In May 2021, we received such FDA approval for an oncology indication in the United States and effective as of that date, sharing of profits and losses commenced. QED and Helsinn will share global, excluding Greater China, research and development costs for infigratinib in the licensed indications at a rate of 40% for QED and 60% for Helsinn.

On February 28, 2022, QED and Helsinn amended the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement”) effective as of March 1, 2022. Under the terms of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, Helsinn will gain an exclusive license to commercialize infigratinib in the U.S. and will be responsible for developing, manufacturing and commercializing infigratinib in oncology indications except for achondroplasia or any other skeletal dysplasias worldwide, outside of Greater China. QED will retain all rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize infigratinib in skeletal dysplasia, including achondroplasia.

Pursuant to the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, QED will no longer share in the commercialization of infigratinib in the licensed indications in the United States or be responsible for any global development costs for infigratinib in the licensed indications.

Additionally under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, QED is eligible to receive regulatory and sales-based milestone payments of up to $66.0 million, as well as tiered royalties in the low to mid-teens as a percentage of adjusted net sales by Helsinn of the licensed products sold worldwide, outside of Greater China.

The Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement also provides for a transitional period, which is expected to end in August 2022, for which QED has been contracted to assist in research and development and commercialization activities. The costs related to QED’s contracted activities incurred during the transitional period are fully reimbursed by Helsinn and will be paid to QED subsequent to the transitional period.

Both the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement are considered to be within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, as the parties are active participants and are exposed to the risks and rewards of the collaborative activity, and partially within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for the units of account where Helsinn is identified as a customer. For the units of account in the collaboration arrangement that do not represent a vendor-customer relationship, including the performance of collaborative research and development and commercialization services, we determined that ASC 606 is not appropriate to apply by analogy and applied a reasonable and rational accounting policy election that faithfully depicts the transfer of services to the collaboration partner over the estimated performance period. Reimbursement payments from Helsinn associated with the collaborative research and development and commercialization services are recognized as the related expense is incurred and classified as an offset to the underlying expense and excluded from the transaction price.

We evaluated the terms of the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and identified Helsinn as a customer with the following two distinct performance obligations: (1) exclusive licenses to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the underlying product, and (2) transfer of inventory within the transitional supply period. The Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement did not give rise to any additional performance obligations.

We consider the future potential regulatory milestones to be variable consideration. We constrain variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We recognize consideration related to sales-based milestone and royalties when the subsequent sales occur pursuant to the royalty exception under ASC 606 because the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or sales-based milestone relate. We began to receive royalties for net sales of the licensed products sold in the United States upon the effective date of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement.

We determined the initial transaction price at inception of the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement to be $46.0 million, comprised of a $20.0 million nonrefundable upfront license fee, $1.0 million for the sale of certain existing inventory, and a $25.0 million launch milestone for the first launch of the first indication of infigratinib in the United States. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we received validation from the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) for our marketing authorization for infigratinib. Since the uncertainty of the variable consideration related to the regulatory milestone was resolved, we updated the transaction price to

 

25

(Unaudited)

 

include this consideration, and accordingly, we increased our transaction price by $10.0 million to $56.0 million. The Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement did not affect the transaction price as the modifications to the transaction price related solely to variable consideration, consisting of regulatory and sales-based milestone payments and royalties. The remaining future potential regulatory milestone payments are not included in the transaction price as they are determined to be fully constrained under ASC 606. We determined that the achievement of such regulatory milestones are contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals, which are not within our control and are uncertain at this stage. We will continue to reassess the transaction price, including estimated variable consideration included in the transaction price and all constrained amounts, in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

We allocated the $56.0 million transaction price based on relative stand-alone selling prices of each of our performance obligations as $54.4 million for the licenses and $1.6 million for the transfer of inventory. For the delivery of the licenses, we based the stand-alone selling price on a discounted cash flow approach and considered several factors including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue and costs, development timelines, discount rate and probabilities of clinical and regulatory success. For the transfer of inventory, we based the stand-alone selling price on the actual costs incurred by us to purchase or manufacture the inventory as well as the average compensation of employees estimated to be incurred over the performance period.

As of December 31, 2021, we have provided all necessary information to Helsinn for it to benefit from the license under the license term and accordingly recognized $56.0 million in license revenue in 2021. Total receivables relating to this unit of account accounted for under ASC 606 amounted to less than $0.1 million and $10.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are shown as part of “Receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the unit of account that is within the scope of ASC 808 relating to collaborative research and development services, pursuant to the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, we have recognized Helsinn’s share of research and development expenses of $2.9 million as a reduction of research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In accordance with the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, we have recognized $3.3 million as a reduction of research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which represents 100% reimbursement of research and development costs incurred during the transitional period relating to infigratinib in the licensed indications. Total receivables from Helsinn relating to this unit of account accounted for under ASC 808 amounted to $8.3 million and $5.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are shown as part of “Receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Following the FDA approval of TRUSELTIQ (infigratinib) in May 2021, we were the principal selling party of this product in the United States and recognized product sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Commencing in January 2022, we sold the remaining transitional supply of TRUSELTIQ to Helsinn, and Helsinn became the principal selling party. Accordingly, beginning in 2022, we no longer recognized product sales associated with TRUSELTIQ, although we continued to share profits and losses on a 50:50 basis through February 28, 2022 in accordance with the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement. Pursuant to the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, we accounted for Helsinn’s share of the co-commercialization loss of $1.1 million as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In accordance with the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, we have recognized $0.1 million as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which represents 100% reimbursement of commercial activity costs incurred during the transitional period relating to infigratinib in the licensed indications in the United States. Total receivables from Helsinn relating to this unit of account accounted for under ASC 808 amounted to $0.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and are shown as part of “Receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no receivables outstanding relating to this unit of account as of December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, we also recognized a receivable from Helsinn of $12.5 million ($1.5 million presented as part of “Receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements” and $11.0 million presented as part of “Other assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet), which represents QED’s obligation to FMI described in Note 8, that will be reimbursed by Helsinn as part of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement. In recording the receivable, we recognized a corresponding gain that is recorded as part of “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We continue to carry the associated liability in our condensed balance sheet until the formal assignment of such liability to Helsinn is finalized with FMI.

License Agreement Between Navire and LianBio

In August 2020, our subsidiary Navire Pharma, Inc. (“Navire”) entered into an exclusive license agreement with LianBio (the “Navire-LianBio License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Navire-LianBio License Agreement, Navire granted to LianBio an exclusive, sublicensable license under the licensed patent rights and know-how to develop, manufacture and commercialize SHP2 inhibitor BBP-398 (“BBP-398”), for tumors driven by RAS and receptor tyrosine kinase mutations. Under the terms of the Navire-LianBio License Agreement, LianBio will receive commercial rights in China and selected Asian markets and participate in clinical development activities for BBP-398. In consideration for the rights granted to LianBio, we received a nonrefundable $8.0 million upfront payment, which we recognized as license revenue in 2020. We will also have the right to receive future development and sales milestone payments of up to $382.1 million, and tiered royalty payments from single-digit to low-teens on net sales of the product in licensed territories. We recognized $8.5 million in license revenue, representing a regulatory milestone payment, in June 2021. There was no license revenue recognized for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 under this agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement with Sentynl

On March 4, 2022, Origin and Sentynl entered into the Origin-Sentynl APA, pursuant to which Sentynl will acquire global rights to NULIBRYTM, as well as certain specified assets of Origin, and will be responsible for the ongoing development and commercialization of NULIBRY in the United States and developing, manufacturing and commercializing fosdenopterin globally. The transaction closed on March 31, 2022 (the “Closing Date”). Under terms of the Origin-Sentynl APA, Origin received an upfront payment of $10.0 million upon the Closing Date and is eligible to receive sales milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties in the low single-digits as a percentage of adjusted net sales of products related to the acquired assets. Origin will continue to be responsible for the payment of up to $4.5 million in aggregate payments upon achievement of regulatory-based milestones under Origin’s Asset Purchase Agreement with Alexion (see Note 8) and under a separate agreement with a third party.

We accounted for this transaction under ASC 610-20, Other Income - Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. Upon the Closing Date, we recognized a loss on sale of $6.3 million within “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The loss on sale was determined as the difference in the aforementioned upfront payment and the carrying value of the assets purchased by Sentynl of approximately $16.3 million, which comprised mainly of intellectual property rights and related intangible assets and existing inventories as of the Closing Date.

Origin’s sale of the assets covered in the Origin-Sentynl APA is not subject to the limitation on our ability to dispose of assets under the terms of the Loan Agreement (see Note 10).

Leases

Operating and Finance Leases

We have operating leases for our corporate headquarters, office spaces and laboratory facilities. One of our office space leases has a finance lease component representing lessor provided furniture and office equipment. Our finance lease, which is presented as part of “Property and equipment, net” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, is not material.

Certain leases include renewal options at our election and we include the renewal options when we are reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised. The lease liabilities were measured using a weighted-average discount rate based on the most recent borrowing rate as of the calculation of the respective lease liability, adjusted for the remaining lease term and aggregate amount of the lease.

Manufacturing Agreement

In December 2019, we entered into a manufacturing agreement with a vendor to secure clinical and commercial scale manufacturing capacity for the manufacture of batches of active pharmaceutical ingredients for product candidates of certain subsidiaries of BridgeBio. Unless terminated as allowed within the manufacturing agreement, the agreement would have expired five years from when qualified operations begin. Under the terms of the agreement, we were assigned a dedicated manufacturing suite for certain months in each calendar year for a one-time fee of $10.0 million, which would be applied to the buildout, commissioning, qualification, validation, equipping and exclusive use of the dedicated manufacturing suite.

We recorded a construction-in-progress asset of $10.0 million for the payments directly associated with the dedicated manufacturing suite as these payments are deemed to represent a non-lease component. In 2020, we entered into a supplemental agreement with the vendor for certain upgrades on the dedicated manufacturing suite and for additional equipment of approximately $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2021, the readiness determination phase of the dedicated manufacturing suite was expected to be completed in 2022.

In March 2022, we mutually agreed with the vendor to terminate the manufacturing agreement. The termination agreement is expected to be formalized in the second quarter of 2022. Under the proposed termination agreement, we will pay the $2.0 million remaining payable related to the dedicated manufacturing suite and a termination fee of $1.8 million for other existing services. As of March 31, 2022, we have recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $10.2 million for the carrying value of the construction-in-progress asset that was no longer recoverable as our rights to the dedicated manufacturing suite will cease pursuant to the proposed termination agreement. The aforementioned impairment loss and the termination fee are included as part of “Restructuring, impairment and related charges” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (see Note 17).

Share Repurchase Program and Shelf Registration

2021 Share Repurchase Program

In May 2021, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may purchase up to $150.0 million of BridgeBio’s outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and otherwise, at the discretion of our management and in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended, and other applicable legal requirements. The timing, pricing and amounts of these repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock and general market and economic conditions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We repurchased 3,017,087 shares in the open market at an average price of $49.72 per share for a total of approximately $150.0 million in 2021. The repurchased shares are held in treasury as treasury stock as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

2020 Shelf Registration

In July 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2020 Shelf”) with the SEC in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units or any combination thereof. We also simultaneously entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM with Jefferies LLC and SVB Leerink LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $350.0 million of our common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the 2020 Shelf and subject to the limitations thereof (the “2020 Sales Agreement”). We will pay to the applicable Sales Agents cash commissions of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the 2020 Sales Agreement. We have not issued any shares or received any proceeds from this offering as of March 31, 2022.

Equity-Based Awards of BridgeBio

As of March 31, 2022, 7,662,139 shares and 107,714 shares were reserved for future issuances under our 2021 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2021 A&R Plan”) and the 2019 Inducement Equity Plan (the “2019 Inducement Plan”), respectively. Pursuant to the Merger Transactions, we also reserved 2,802,644 shares specifically under the Eidos Award Exchange (the “Eidos Award Exchange Plan”), all of which were issued upon execution of the Eidos Award Exchange as discussed below. The 2021 A&R Plan, the 2019 Inducement Plan and the Eidos Award Exchange Plan are collectively referred herein as the “Plans”.

2020 Stock and Equity Award Exchange Program (Exchange Program)

On April 22, 2020, we completed our 2020 Stock and Equity Award Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”) for certain subsidiaries, which was an opportunity for eligible controlled entities’ employees and consultants to exchange their subsidiary equity (including common stock, vested and unvested stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”)) for BridgeBio equity (including common stock, vested and unvested stock options and RSAs) and/or performance-based milestone awards tied to the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones. The Exchange Program aligns our incentive compensation structure for employees and consultants across the BridgeBio group of companies to be consistent with the achievement of our overall corporate goals. In connection with the Exchange Program, we issued awards of BridgeBio equity under the then 2019 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2019 A&R Plan”), which was amended and restated into the 2021 A&R Plan mentioned above, to 149 grantees covering 554,064 shares of common stock, 1,268,110 stock options to purchase common stock, 50,145 shares of RSAs and 22,611 shares of performance-based RSAs. The exchange also included performance-based milestone awards of up to $183.4 million to be settled in fully-vested RSAs in the future upon achievement of the milestones (collectively the “New Awards”). In consideration for all the subsidiaries’ shares tendered, BridgeBio increased its ownership in controlled entities included in the Exchange Program and the corresponding noncontrolling interest decreased.

On November 18, 2020, we completed a stock and equity award under our Exchange Program for a subsidiary. We issued awards of BridgeBio equity under the then 2019 A&R Plan to 16 grantees covering 24,924 shares of common stock, 70,436 stock options to purchase common stock, and 10,772 shares of performance-based stock options to purchase common stock. The exchange also included performance-based milestone awards of up to $11.7 million to be settled in fully-vested RSAs in the future upon achievement of the milestones.

We evaluated the exchange of the controlled entities’ outstanding common stock and equity awards for BridgeBio awards as a modification under ASC 718, Share Based Payments. Under ASC 718, a modification is a change in the terms or conditions of a stock-based compensation award. In assessing the accounting treatment, we consider the fair value, vesting conditions and classification as an equity or liability award of the controlled entity equity before the exchange, compared to the BridgeBio equity received as part of the exchange to determine whether modification accounting must be applied. When applying modification accounting, we considered the type of modification to determine the appropriate stock-based compensation cost to be recognized on April 22 and November 18, 2020, (each the “Modification Date”), and subsequent to the Modification Date.

We considered the total shares of common stock and equity awards, whether vested or unvested, held by each participant in each controlled entity as the unit of account. The controlled entity’s common stock and equity awards in each unit of account was exchanged for a combination of BridgeBio’s common stock, time-based vesting equity awards and/or performance-based milestone awards. Other than the exchange of the controlled entity equity awards for performance-based milestone awards, all other exchanged BridgeBio equity awards retained the original vesting conditions. As a result, there was no incremental stock-based compensation expense resulting from the exchange of time-based equity awards.

At the completion of the Exchange Program, we determined $17.4 million of the performance-based milestone awards were probable of achievement and represented the incremental stock-based compensation cost resulting from the modification of time-based equity awards to performance-based milestone awards. These performance-based milestone awards were to be recognized over a period ranging from 0.7 year to 1.7 years. There was no incremental stock-based compensation cost arising from the completion of the Exchange Program on November 18, 2020. Under ASC 718, Share Based Payments, we account for such performance-based milestone awards as a liability in “Accrued compensation and benefits” and in “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the fixed milestone amount that will be converted into a variable number of shares of BridgeBio common stock to be granted upon the achievement date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $7.7 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with milestone awards under the Exchange Program that were determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2021. The related amount is not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022 for milestone awards under the Exchange Program that were determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 9 for contingent compensation accrued associated with performance-based milestones that are determined to be probable as of March 31, 2022.

Performance-based Milestone Awards

Apart from the Exchange Program discussed above, we have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various regulatory and development milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole discretion, upon achievement of each contingent milestone. Upon achievement of a contingent milestone and if such performance-based milestone awards are settled in the form of equity, these are satisfied in the form of fully-vested RSAs. We recognize such contingent stock-based compensation expense when the milestone is probable of achievement. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized $3.5 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based milestone awards that were determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2021. The related amount is not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022 for milestone awards associated with performance-based milestone awards that were determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 9 for contingent compensation accrued associated with performance-based milestones awards that are determined to be probable as of March 31, 2022.

The options granted to employees and non-employees are exercisable at the price of BridgeBio’s common stock at the respective grant dates. The options granted have a service condition and generally vest over a period of four years.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2022 in the table above are calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the current fair value of BridgeBio common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.4 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $10.8 million related to stock options under the Plans. As of March 31, 2022, there was $89.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options under the Plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Equity Awards of Eidos

Prior to the Merger Transactions, Eidos issued its own equity-based awards under the Eidos 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and the Eidos 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Eidos Plans”). Upon closing of the Merger Transactions, we issued 2,776,672 stock options to purchase common stock of BridgeBio and 25,972 shares of BridgeBio RSUs to 88 employees of Eidos under the Eidos Award Exchange in exchange for their then outstanding common stock options and RSUs under the Eidos Plans (the “Replaced Awards”). The awards issued in the Eidos Award Exchange have the same vesting terms and conditions as the Replaced Awards. We evaluated the exchange of the awards as a modification under ASC 718 and recognized no incremental compensation cost from such modification.

Restructuring, Impairment and Related Charges

In January 2022, we committed to a restructuring initiative designed to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies and cost savings to advance our corporate strategy and development programs. The restructuring initiative included, among other components, consolidation and rationalization of our facilities, reprioritization of development programs and the reduction in our workforce. We have substantially completed the activities and have incurred most of the costs related to the restructuring initiative during the current quarter. We estimate to incur total charges in the range of approximately $23.0 million to $25.0 million for the fiscal year 2022, consisting primarily of impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, severance and employee-related costs, and exit and other related costs. Our estimate of the range of costs is subject to certain assumptions, such as our ability to sublease certain office spaces. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Restructuring, impairment and related charges included in our condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Income Taxes

BridgeBio is subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes as a corporation. BridgeBio’s tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. There was no provision for income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.

BRIDGEBIO PHARMA, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

As a result of the issuance of our 2027 Notes in 2020, it was determined that our existing deferred tax assets do not fully offset the deferred tax liabilities when reviewing the reversals of temporary differences. This resulted in a deferred tax liability of $1.1 million that was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2020. We derecognized the deferred tax liability on January 1, 2021 upon early adoption of ASU 2020-06, with no impact on the provision for income tax.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits as part of the income tax provision and include accrued interest and penalties with the related income tax liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. To date, we have not recognized any interest and penalties in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, nor have we accrued for or made payments for interest and penalties. Our unrecognized gross tax benefits would not reduce the estimated annual effective tax rate if recognized because we have recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

As discussed in Notes 9 and 16, we have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various regulatory and development milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole election, upon achievement of each contingent milestone. The common stock equivalents of such arrangements were estimated as if the contingent milestones were achieved as of the reporting date and the arrangements were all settled in equity.

Overview

BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (we or the Company) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company founded to discover, create, test and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases and cancers with clear genetic drivers. BridgeBio’s pipeline of development programs ranges from early science to advanced clinical trials. BridgeBio was founded in 2015 and its team of experienced drug discoverers, developers and innovators are committed to applying advances in genetic medicine to help patients as quickly as possible. Since inception, BridgeBio has created 15 Investigational New Drug applications, or INDS, and had two products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We work across over 20 disease states and have over 15 ongoing clinical trials at various stages of development. Several of our programs target indications that we believe present the potential for our product candidates, if approved, to target portions of market opportunities of at least $1.0 billion in annual sales.

We focus on genetic diseases because they exist at the intersection of high unmet patient need and tractable biology. Our approach is to translate research pioneered at academic laboratories and leading medical institutions into products that we hope will ultimately reach patients. We are able to realize this opportunity through a confluence of scientific advances: (i) identification of the genetic underpinnings of disease as more cost-efficient genome and exome sequencing becomes available; (ii) progress in molecular biology; and (iii) the development and maturation of longitudinal data and retrospective studies that enable the linkage of genes to diseases. We believe that this early-stage innovation represents one of the greatest practical sources for new drug creation.

Since our inception in 2015, we have focused substantially all of our efforts and financial resources on acquiring and developing product and technology rights, building our intellectual property portfolio and conducting research and development activities for our product candidates within our wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities, including partially-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries we consolidate based on our deemed majority control of such entities as determined using either the variable interest entity, or VIE model, or the voting interest entity, or VOE model. To support these activities, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, BridgeBio Services, Inc., (i) identify and secure new programs, (ii) set up new wholly-owned subsidiaries or controlled entities, (iii) recruit key management team members, (iv) raise and allocate capital across the portfolio and (v) provide certain shared services, including accounting, legal, information technology and human resources, as well as workspaces. We have not generated any significant revenue from product sales. To date, we have funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of our equity securities, issuance of convertible notes, debt borrowings and, to a lesser extent, revenue from licensing arrangements and product sales. We do not anticipate to generate product sales for the rest of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 as the selling activities for our approved products have transferred or transitioned to our respective partners.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of $201.3 million and $171.1 million, respectively. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our product candidates at our wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities. We expect to continue to incur operating and net losses for at least the next several years.

Due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development, and given our novel therapeutic approaches and the stage of development of our product candidates, we cannot determine and are unable to estimate with certainty the timelines we will require and the costs we will incur for the development of our product candidates. Clinical and preclinical development timelines and costs, and the potential of development success, can differ materially from expectations due to a variety of factors. For example, in light of developments relating to the continuing impact of SARS-CoV-2, the novel strain of coronavirus that causes Coronavirus disease 19, or COVID-19, the focus of healthcare providers and hospitals on fighting the virus and any variants of the virus, we have experienced delays in or temporary suspension of the enrollment of patients in our subsidiaries’ ongoing clinical trials. We additionally may experience delays in certain ongoing key program activities, including commencement of planned clinical trials, as well as non-clinical experiments and IND-enabling good laboratory practice toxicology studies. The exact duration of delays and their overall impact on our business are currently unknown and we are continuing to actively monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as it continues to rapidly evolve. Since the beginning of the pandemic, COVID-19 has spread globally and new variants of the virus have emerged, such as the Delta and Omicron variants. Many countries around the world have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus and have closed non-essential businesses. The continued spread of COVID-19, despite progress in vaccination efforts, has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. These measures may result in a period of business, supply, and drug product manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, we may take further precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of public health and safety and that of our patient community, employees, partners, suppliers and stockholders. We cannot predict the effects that such actions, the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, or its continuing impact on global business operations and economic conditions may have on our business or strategy, including the effects on our ongoing and planned clinical development activities and prospects, or on our financial and operating results.

In January 2022, we committed to a restructuring initiative designed to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies and cost savings to advance our corporate strategy and development programs. The restructuring initiative included, among other components, consolidation and rationalization of our facilities, reprioritization of development programs and the reduction in our workforce. We have substantially completed the activities and have incurred most of the costs related to our restructuring initiative. We estimate to incur total charges in the range of approximately $23.0 million to $25.0 million for the fiscal year 2022, consisting primarily of impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, severance and employee-related costs, and exit and other related costs. Our estimate of the range of costs is subject to certain assumptions, such as our ability to sublease certain office spaces. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. As a result of our restructuring initiative, we expect to realize meaningful savings on our operating costs and expenses for the rest of fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and in the immediately succeeding fiscal years.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $633.5 million and investment in equity securities of $37.8 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $787.5 million and investment in equity securities of $49.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities primarily pertain to net cash used in our operating activities of $160.6 million, which includes $18.8 million payments for debt-related interests. During the period, we received an upfront payment of $10.0 million upon the closing of the asset purchase agreement between our subsidiary, Origin, and Sentynl, or the Origin-Sentynl APA.

We consider our investment in equity securities as a source of our liquidity as we may liquidate these shares to fund current operations, should the need arise. The decrease in investment in equity securities is primarily due to decline in market value.

We do not anticipate to generate product sales for the rest of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 as the selling activities for our approved products have transferred or transitioned to our respective partners (see Notes 11 and 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Research and development expense decreased overall by $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation and a modest decrease in our external costs as a result of reprioritization of our development programs in line with our restructuring initiative. Stock-based compensation recorded in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $8.6 million as compared to $22.4 million for the same period in the prior year, which was mainly driven by higher stock-based compensation related to performance-based milestone compensation arrangements for regulatory and development milestones achieved and determined to be probable of achievement as of March 31, 2021.

 

Pursuant to the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, Helsinn shared 60% of our research and development costs for infigratinib for certain indications as stipulated under the agreement. Upon the effective date of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, Helsinn is solely responsible for development costs for infigratinib for certain indications and our incurred costs during the transitional period are fully reimbursable. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Helsinn’s share of the research and development costs amounted to $2.9 million, which were reflected as a reduction of research and development expenses. In accordance with the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, which became effective on March 1, 2022, we have recognized $3.3 million as a reduction of research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which represents 100% reimbursement of research and development costs incurred during the transitional period. Refer to Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement.

Research and development costs consist primarily of external costs, such as fees paid to consultants, contractors, contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, and contract research organizations, or CROs, in connection with our preclinical and clinical development activities and are tracked on a program-by-program basis. License fees and other costs incurred after a product candidate has been designated and that are directly related to the product candidate are included in the specific program expense. License fees and other costs incurred prior to designating a product candidate are included in early-stage research programs.

Under the QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties co-commercialized TRUSELTIQ in the United States and shared profits and losses on a 50:50 basis. Upon the effective date of the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement, Helsinn is solely responsible for the commercialization of TRUSELTIQ and our incurred costs during the transitional period are fully reimbursable. We accounted for Helsinn’s share of the commercialization loss of $1.1 million as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As discussed in Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, in January 2022, we committed to a restructuring initiative designed to drive operational changes in our business processes, efficiencies and cost savings to advance our corporate strategy and development programs. The restructuring initiative included, among other components, consolidation and rationalization of our facilities, reprioritization of development programs and the reduction in our workforce. We have substantially completed the activities and have incurred most of the costs related to the restructuring initiative during the current quarter. We estimate to incur total charges in the range of approximately $23.0 million to $25.0 million for the fiscal year 2022, consisting primarily of impairments and write-offs of long-lived assets, severance and employee-related costs, and exit and other related costs. Our estimate of the range of costs is subject to certain assumptions, such as our ability to sublease certain office spaces. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consists primarily of interest expense incurred under our 2029 Notes issued in January 2021, our 2027 Notes issued in March 2020 and our term loan with various lenders under the Loan Agreement, dated November 17, 2021. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consists primarily of interest expense incurred under our 2029 Notes, our 2027 Notes, our now fully-paid term loan with Hercules Capital, Inc., or Hercules, pursuant to our Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 19, 2018, as amended from time to time, and our now fully-paid term loan with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, and Hercules pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 13, 2019, or the SVB and Hercules Loan Agreement. The increase of $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributed to an increase in principal amounts of our debt.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consists mainly of realized and unrealized losses from changes in fair value of our equity security investment of $12.9 million, gain from recognition of a receivable from Helsinn under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement of $12.5 million, and loss from disposal of Origin’s assets of $6.3 million. Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily includes changes in fair value of the LEO Call Option liability. In March 2021, LEO elected to terminate the LEO Call Option, which resulted in derecognition of the LEO Call Option liability of $5.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations primarily through the sale of our equity securities, issuance of convertible notes, debt borrowings and revenue from certain licensing arrangements. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $633.5 million and investment in equity securities of $37.8 million. We consider our investment in equity securities as a source of our liquidity as we may liquidate these securities to fund current operations, should the need arise. The funds held by our wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlled entities are available for specific entity usage. As of March 31, 2022, our outstanding debt was $1.7 billion, net of debt discounts and issuance costs and accretion.

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we incurred net losses of $586.5 million, $505.5 million and $288.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred net losses of $201.3 million. We had an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 of $1.6 billion. While we have undertaken a restructuring initiative to drive operational change in business processes, efficiencies and cost savings, we expect to continue to incur operating and net losses over the next several years as we continue to fund our drug development and discovery efforts, as well as costs related to commercial launch readiness for our late-stage programs. In particular, to the extent we advance our programs into and through later-stage clinical trials without a partner, we will incur substantial expenses. Our current business plan is also subject to significant uncertainties and risks as a result of, among other factors, our ability to generate product sales sufficient to achieve

profitability, which will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of product candidates at our consolidated entities as well as our ability to partner in the development of certain clinical programs, as well as the levels of our operating expenses.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements include contractual payments related to our 2029 Notes, 2027 Notes and term loan (see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), obligations under our real estate leases (see Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and the remaining liabilities under our restructuring initiative (see Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

We also have performance-based milestone compensation arrangements with certain employees and consultants, whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various regulatory and development milestones, with fixed monetary amounts known at inception that can be settled in the form of cash or equity at our sole election, upon achievement of each contingent milestone (see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Additionally, we have certain contingent payment obligations under various license and collaboration agreements in which we are required to make milestone payments upon successful completion and achievement of certain intellectual property, clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. We also enter into agreements in the normal course of business with CROs and other vendors for clinical trials and with vendors for preclinical studies and other services and products for operating purposes, which are generally cancelable upon written notice with potential termination charges.

We expect our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and investment in equity securities will fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based on current operating plans and financial forecasts. If our current operating plans or financial forecasts change, including the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our research and development activities, we may require additional funding sooner in the form of public or private equity offerings, debt financings or additional collaborations and licensing arrangements. However, future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In addition, we are closely monitoring ongoing developments in connection with the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and inflationary pressures, which may negatively impact our financial and operating results. We will continue to assess our operating costs and expenses and our cash and cash equivalents and, if circumstances warrant, we will make appropriate adjustments to our operating plan.

 

Sources of Liquidity

Initial public offerings and at-the-market share issuances

In December 2019 and February 2020, Eidos, then our controlled subsidiary and a public company, received net proceeds of $23.9 million and $24.1 million, respectively, from its at-the-market issuance of shares. Prior to the effectiveness of the Merger Transactions with Eidos, all cash and cash equivalents held by Eidos were restricted and could be applied solely to fund the operations of Eidos.

On July 1, 2019, we completed the IPO of our common stock. As part of the IPO, we issued and sold 23,575,000 shares of our common stock, which included 3,075,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. We received net proceeds of approximately $366.2 million from the IPO, after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $28.1 million and offering costs of $6.5 million.

On July 7, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR, or the 2020 Shelf, with the SEC in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units or any combination thereof. We also simultaneously entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, or the 2020 Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC and SVB Leerink LLC, or collectively, the Sales Agents, to provide for the offering, issuance and sale by us of up to an aggregate of $350.0 million of our common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings under the 2020 Shelf and subject to the limitations thereof. We will pay to the applicable Sales Agents cash commissions of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock under the 2020 Sales Agreement. We have not issued any shares or received any proceeds from this offering through March 31, 2022.

Debt

As of March 31, 2022, we have borrowings under the 2029 Notes, the 2027 Notes and the Loan Agreement, which are discussed below.

2029 Notes

In January 2021, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $747.5 million of our 2029 Notes, pursuant to an Indenture dated January 28, 2021, or the 2029 Notes Indenture, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, or the 2029 Notes Trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2021 Note Offering, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

 

41


 

The 2029 Notes accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021, at a rate of 2.25% per year. The 2029 Notes will mature on February 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2029 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering of approximately $731.4 million, after deducting the 2029 Notes Initial Purchasers’ discount. There were no direct offering expenses borne by us for the 2029 Notes. We used approximately $61.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2021 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the 2021 Capped Call Transactions and approximately $50.0 million to pay for the repurchase of shares of our common stock.

A holder of 2029 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at its option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 1, 2028 only under certain circumstances.

On or after November 1, 2028 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at any time.

We may not redeem the 2029 Notes prior to February 6, 2026. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Notes, at our option, on a redemption date occurring on or after February 6, 2026 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, under certain circumstances. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2029 Notes Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2029 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The 2029 Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the 2029 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2029 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2029 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated, including our 2027 Notes; effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

Refer to Note 10 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for other details, including our future minimum payments under the 2029 Notes.

2027 Notes

In March 2020, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million of our 2027 Notes, pursuant to an Indenture dated March 9, 2020, or the Indenture, between BridgeBio and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, or the Trustee, in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2020 Note Offering, pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The 2027 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of BridgeBio and accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2020, at a rate of 2.50% per year. The 2027 Notes will mature on March 15, 2027, unless earlier converted or repurchased. Upon conversion, the 2027 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

We received net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering of approximately $537.0 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. We used approximately $49.3 million of the net proceeds from the 2020 Note Offering to pay for the cost of the Capped Call Transactions, and approximately $75.0 million to pay for the repurchases of shares of our common stock in connection with the 2020 Note Offering.

A holder of 2027 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2027 Notes at its option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2026 only under certain circumstances.

On or after December 15, 2026 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2027 Notes at any time.

We may not redeem the 2027 Notes prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the 2027 Notes. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2027 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes then outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of all the Notes plus accrued special interest, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The 2027 Notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2027 Notes; equal in right of payment with all of our liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.

Loan and Security Agreement

In November 2021, we entered into the Loan Agreement, by and among (i) U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent), and collateral agent (in such capacity, the Collateral Agent), (ii) certain lenders, or the Lenders, (iii) BridgeBio, as a borrower, and (iv) certain subsidiaries of BridgeBio, as guarantors, or the Guarantors.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Lenders agreed to extend term loans to us in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million, comprised of (i) a tranche 1 advance of $450.0 million, or the Tranche 1 Advance, and (ii) a tranche 2 advance of $300.0 million, or the Tranche 2 Advance, or collectively, the Term Loan Advances. The Tranche 1 Advance under the Loan Agreement was funded on November 17, 2021. The Tranche 2 Advance, which will remain available for funding until December 31, 2022, is available at our election after the occurrence of certain milestone events relating to data from our clinical trials.

As security for our obligations under the Loan Agreement, each of BridgeBio and the Guarantors granted the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing security interest in substantially all of the assets of BridgeBio and the Guarantors, (including all equity interests owned or hereafter acquired by BridgeBio and the Guarantors), subject to certain customary exceptions. Upon exceeding certain investment and disposition thresholds, additional subsidiaries of BridgeBio will be required to join as guarantors.

Any outstanding principal on the Term Loan Advances will accrue interest at a fixed rate equal to 9.0% per annum, 3.00% of which can be paid in kind, or PIK. Interest payments are payable quarterly following the funding of a Term Loan Advance. We will be required to make principal payments on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Advances commencing on January 2, 2025, or the Term Loan Amortization Date, in nine quarterly installments, plus interest. If we have achieved certain milestone events relating to data from the clinical trial of acoramidis, or the Acoramidis Milestone, on or prior to January 1, 2025, then the Term Loan Amortization Date will be automatically extended to January 2, 2026. Any amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Advances are due and payable on November 17, 2026, or the Maturity Date.

We may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advances at any time (in whole, but not in part), plus accrued and unpaid interest and a prepayment premium ranging from 1% to 3% of the principal amount outstanding depending on the timing of payment (plus a customary make-whole amount if prepaid on or prior to November 17, 2022).

At the Lenders’ election, we are also required to make mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain prepayment events related to the repurchase or redemption of pledged collateral, entry into certain royalty transactions, disposition of other assets or subsidiaries, entry into licensing and other monetization transactions (all such events “prepayment events”), which could be 50% or 75% of net cash proceeds from such transaction depending on achievement of the Acoramidis Milestone.

Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirements for certain prepayment events, the Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and limited negative covenants which, among other things, limit our ability to (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends or make certain distributions, (iii) dispose of our assets, grant liens, license or encumber our assets or (iv) fundamentally alter the nature of our business. BridgeBio and the Guarantors have broad ability to license our intellectual property, dispose of other assets and enter into monetization and royalty transactions, subject in each case to the requirement to make a mandatory prepayment described above. The Loan Agreement provides that BridgeBio and Guarantors may, subject to certain limitations, (x) repurchase BridgeBio’s equity interest and the equity interest of any of its subsidiaries, (y) enter into any joint ventures or similar investments, and (z) make other investments and acquisitions. Subject to the mandatory prepayment requirement described above, portfolio companies owned by BridgeBio that are not parties to the Loan Agreement are, subject to certain exceptions, not subject to any covenants or limitations under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, among other things, our failure to make any principal or interest payments when due, the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events or the breach of the covenants under the Loan Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, accelerate our obligations under the Loan Agreement.

We received net proceeds from the Tranche 1 Advance of $431.3 million, after deducting debt discount and issuance costs of $18.7 million.

Refer to Note 10 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for other details, including our future minimum payments under the Loan Agreement.

Net Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $160.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting primarily of our net loss of $201.3 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $24.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, $12.9 million in net loss from our investment in equity securities, $12.7 million in impairment of long-lived assets, $12.5 million gain from recognition of a receivable from Helsinn under the Amended QED-Helsinn License and Collaboration Agreement and $6.3 million loss on sale of assets in connection with the Origin-Sentynl APA, as well as $10.1 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $10.1 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities was attributed mainly to a decrease of $16.9 million in accrued compensation and benefits mainly due to timing of payments, a decrease of $2.9 million in other accrued and other long-term liabilities primarily due to payment of accrued interests, partially offset by a decrease of $10.3 million in receivable from licensing and collaboration agreements.

Net cash used in operating activities was $150.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, consisting primarily of our net loss of $171.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items including $33.6 million in stock-based compensation expense and $5.6 million of income from the derecognition of the LEO Call Option liability, as well as $15.4 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $15.4 million net cash outflow related to changes in operating assets and liabilities was attributed mainly to a decrease of $13.0 million in accrued compensation and benefits mainly due to timing of payments and an increase of $6.1 million in other assets due to prepayment of long-term directors’ and officers’ tail insurance arising from the Merger Transactions with Eidos. The outflow in these operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by an increase of $6.1 million in accrued research and development liabilities mainly due to increases in our CROs’ and CMOs’ expenses for research activities.

Net Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $138.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting primarily of $186.7 million in maturities of marketable securities, $10.0 million in upfront payment received under the Origin-Sentynl APA and $6.7 million sale of investment in equity securities, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities of $55.7 million and purchases of investment in equity securities of $8.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $282.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, consisting primarily of purchases of marketable securities of $379.3 million, partially offset by $99.2 million in maturities of marketable securities.

Net Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Activities within our financing activities were not meaningful during the period.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $547.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, consisting primarily of the net proceeds from the issuance of our 2029 Notes of $731.4 million, offset by purchase of capped calls of $61.3 million and repurchase of our common stock of $50 million, both in relation to the issuance of our 2029 Notes. We also used cash of $80.3 million to repurchase the noncontrolling interest of Eidos and pay for related direct transaction costs.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as revenues, if any, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no significant changes in recently adopted or issued accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the section titled “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of March 31, 2022, we held cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $633.5 million. Our cash equivalents consist of amounts invested in money market accounts, such as money market funds and short-term commercial paper. Our marketable securities consist of high investment grade fixed income securities that are primarily invested in commercial paper, corporate bonds, and U.S. government securities. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. We do not believe that our cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities have a significant risk of default or illiquidity.

As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding debt with variable interest rate. Our 2029 Notes, 2027 Notes and term loan had principal balances of $747.5 million, $550.0 million and $450.0 million, respectively, and bear fixed interest rates. Our cash flows on these debt obligations are not subject to variability as a result of changes in interest rates.

We are exposed to changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities. As of March 31, 2022, our investment in equity securities, which consist of equity securities of publicly held companies, had a balance of $37.8 million. These shares are carried in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on the closing price of the shares owned on the last trading day of the reporting period. Fluctuations in the underlying bid price of the shares could result in material gains or losses.

We do not believe that inflation and changing prices had a significant impact on our business, financial conditions or results of operations for any of the periods presented herein. Significant adverse changes in inflation and prices in the future could result in material losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of that date. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not party to any material legal proceedings. In the future, we may become party to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe we are party to any claim or litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse effect on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
