TABLE OF CONTENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward‑looking statements relating to future events and our future performance within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stockholders are cautioned that such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including: We may not be able to successfully market Ampyra, Inbrija or any other products under development; the COVID-19 pandemic, including related restrictions on in-person interactions and travel, and the potential for illness, quarantines, and vaccine mandates affecting our management, employees or consultants or those that work for other companies we rely upon, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations or product sales; our ability to attract and retain key management and other personnel, or maintain access to expert advisors; our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations, repay outstanding indebtedness or satisfy other obligations, and our ability to control our costs or reduce planned expenditures; risks associated with the trading of our common stock and our reverse stock split; risks related to our corporate restructurings, including our ability to outsource certain operations, realize expected cost savings and maintain the workforce needed for continued operations; risks associated with complex, regulated manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, which could affect whether we have sufficient commercial supply of Inbrija to meet market demand; our reliance on third-party manufacturers for the production of commercial supplies of Ampyra and Inbrija; third-party payers (including governmental agencies) may not reimburse for the use of Inbrija at acceptable rates or at all and may impose restrictive prior authorization requirements that limit or block prescriptions; reliance on collaborators and distributors to commercialize Inbrija and Ampyra outside the U.S.; competition for Inbrija and Ampyra, including increasing competition and accompanying loss of revenues in the U.S. from generic versions of Ampyra following our loss of patent exclusivity; the ability to realize the benefits anticipated from acquisitions because, among other reasons, acquired development programs are generally subject to all the risks inherent in the drug development process and our knowledge of the risks specifically relevant to acquired programs generally improves over time; the risk of unfavorable results from future studies of Inbrija or from other research and development programs, or any other acquired or in-licensed programs; the occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or class-action litigation; failure to protect our intellectual property, to defend against the intellectual property claims of others or to obtain third-party intellectual property licenses needed for the commercialization of our products; and failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in adverse action by regulatory agencies.

(1) Organization and Business Activities

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (“Acorda” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies that restore function and improve the lives of people with neurological disorders.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 270-10 and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim periods presented and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. When used in these notes, the terms “Acorda” or “the Company” mean Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (Topic 740). Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”. The Company’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation

The Company reclassified the net proceeds from the sale of the Chelsea facility of $74.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 from financing activities to investing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the statement of cash flows:

Restricted cash represents an escrow account with funds to maintain the interest payments for an amount equal to all remaining scheduled interest payments on the outstanding convertible senior secured notes due 2024 through the interest payment date of June 1, 2023; and a bank account with funds to cover the Company’s self-funded employee health insurance. At March 31, 2022, the Company also held $0.3 million of restricted cash related to cash collateralized standby letters of credit in connection with obligations under facility leases and $5.9 million related to the escrow account for interest payments included in restricted cash non-current in the consolidated balance sheet due to the long-term nature of the letters of credit and interest payments. See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of interest payments on the outstanding convertible senior secured notes due to 2024.

Inventory

The following table provides the major classes of inventory:

The Company reviews inventory, including inventory purchase commitments, for slow moving or obsolete amounts based on expected product sales volume and provides reserves against the carrying amount of inventory as appropriate. On February 10, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Chelsea, Massachusetts manufacturing operations to Catalent Pharma Solutions. In connection with the sale of the manufacturing operations, the Company transferred approximately $2.3 million of raw materials to Catalent. See Note 12 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of assets transferred upon the sale. Additionally, in reviewing the inventory for slow moving or obsolete amounts the Company recorded a charge of $1.3 million for the remaining work-in-progress inventory that was scrapped or discarded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of operations outside the United States of America is deemed to be the currency of the local country, unless otherwise determined that the United States dollar would serve as a more appropriate functional currency given the economic operations of the entity. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, Biotie, are translated into United States dollars using the period-end exchange rate; and income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rate during the period; and equity transactions are translated at historical rates. Cumulative translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are charged to operations and reported in other income (expense) in consolidated statements of operations.

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company is managed and operated as one business which is focused on developing therapies that restore function and improve the lives of people with neurological disorders. The entire business is managed by a single management team that reports to the Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not operate separate lines of business with respect to any of its products or product candidates and the Company does not prepare discrete financial information to allocate resources to separate products or product candidates or by location. Accordingly, the Company views its business as one reportable operating segment. Net product revenues reported are derived from the sales of Ampyra and Inbrija in the U.S. for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful lives of its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization and property plant and equipment, may warrant revision or that the carrying value of the assets may be impaired. The Company evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets based on profitability and cash flow expectations for the related assets. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include significant changes in the use of any assets, changes in historical trends in operating performance, changes in projected operating performance, stock price, loss of a

8

major customer and significant negative economic trends. The decline in the trading price of the Company's common stock during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, and related decrease in the Company's market capitalization, was determined to be a triggering event in connection with the Company's review of the recoverability of its long-lived assets for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The Company performed a recoverability test as of March 31, 2022 using the undiscounted cash flows, which are the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the direct use of the long-lived assets to the carrying value of the long-lived assets. Estimates of future cash flows were based on the Company’s own assumptions about its own use of the long-lived assets. The cash flow estimation period was based on the long-lived assets’ estimated remaining useful life to the Company. After performing the recoverability test, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value and the long-lived assets were not impaired. Changes in these assumptions and resulting valuations could result in future long-lived asset impairment charges. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, no other impairment indicators were noted by the Company. Management will continue to monitor any changes in circumstances for indicators of impairment. Any write‑downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets.

Liquidity

  The Company’s ability to meet its future operating requirements, repay its liabilities, and meet its other obligations are dependent upon a number of factors, including its ability to generate cash from product sales, reduce planned expenditures, and obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from the sale of its products, the Company will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, subject to the restrictions contained in the indenture governing its convertible senior secured notes due 2024, such as further reducing expenses, selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous and which are likely to be highly dilutive. Also, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and repay or restructure its indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time, among other factors. In addition, financing may not be available when needed, at all, on terms acceptable to the Company or in accordance with the restrictions described above. As a result of these factors, the Company may not be able to engage in any of the alternative activities, or engage in such activities on desirable terms, which could harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as result in a default on the Company’s debt obligations. If the Company is unable to take these actions, it may be forced to significantly alter its business strategy, substantially curtail its current operations, or cease operations altogether.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $31.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2021. The Company’s March 31, 2022 cash and cash equivalents balance does not include $18.6 million of restricted cash that is currently held in escrow under the terms of its convertible senior secured notes due 2024, which may potentially be released from escrow if the Company pays interest on those notes using shares of its common stock (the amount released would correspond to the amount of interest paid using shares). The Company incurred a net loss of $24.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022, and the Company’s obligations that are due within the next twelve months, management has concluded that there is no substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are defined as those events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company completed an evaluation of the impact of any subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued, and determined there were no subsequent events that required disclosure or adjustment in these financial statements. 

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740 and removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance

9

effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. The FASB is issuing this update to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments”: The amendments in this update are to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to a variety of ASC topics. The changes in ASU 2020-03 are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practices. The ASU improves various financial instrument topics in the Codification to increase stakeholder awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvement process by making the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models which require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this Update eliminate the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This update also includes amendments which require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. The ASU is effective for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

(3) Revenue

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of a promised good or service, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the good or service. ASC 606 requires entities to record a contract asset when a performance obligation has been satisfied or partially satisfied, but the amount of consideration has not yet been received because the receipt of the consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. ASC 606 also requires an entity to present a revenue contract as a contract liability in instances when a customer pays consideration, or an entity has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (e.g. receivable), before the entity transfers a good or service to the customer.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had contract liabilities of $5.9 million, which is the upfront payment received as part of the Esteve Germany distribution agreement entered into in 2021. The Company did not have any contract liabilities as of March 31, 2021. The Company did not have any contract assets as of March 31, 2022 or 2021. The Company did not recognize any revenues during the period ended March 31, 2022 from its distribution agreement with Esteve. Esteve expects to launch Inbrija in Germany in June 2022.

10

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by major source. The Company’s Royalty Revenue set forth below relates to Fampyra royalties payable under the Company’s License and Collaboration Agreement with Biogen. See Note 9 for additional information on the Company’s related payment obligation to HealthCare Royalty Partners, or HCRP, in connection with a 2017 royalty purchase agreement with HCRP.

(4) Share-based Compensation

During the three‑month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Activity in options and restricted stock during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and related balances outstanding as of that date are reflected below. The weighted average fair value per share of options granted to employees for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $1.60 and $3.81, respectively.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense included within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations:

A summary of share-based compensation activity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 is presented below:

Stock Option Activity

Restricted Stock and Performance Stock Unit Activity

Unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units as of March 31, 2022 totaled $1.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.6 years.

During the three‑month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not make any repurchases of shares.

(5) Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

12

Securities that could potentially be dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when a loss from continuing operations exists or when the exercise price exceeds the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the period, because their inclusion would result in an anti-dilutive effect on per share amounts.

The following amounts were not included in the calculation of net loss per diluted share because their effects were anti-dilutive:

Performance share units are excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share as the performance criteria has not been met for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Additionally, the impact of the convertible senior notes was determined to be anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(6) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance and expense recorded on the equity forfeiture.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a provision of $(0.3) million and a benefit of $3.2 million for income taxes, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were (1.1%) and 8.6%, respectively. The variances in the effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, was due primarily to the forfeitures of equity of which no tax deduction is recorded and the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets for which no tax benefit can be recognized.

The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and will adjust such amounts in light of changing facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, future projections of taxable income, tax legislation, rulings by relevant tax authorities, the progress of ongoing tax audits and the regulatory approval of products currently under development. Any changes to the valuation allowance or deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future would impact the Company's income taxes.

The Company has ongoing state examinations in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and New Jersey which cover multiple years. There have been no proposed adjustments at this stage of the examination.

(7) Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates, exchange rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for the asset or liability. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of investments in a Treasury money market fund and U.S. government securities. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities represent acquired contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Civitas which are valued using a probability weighted discounted cash flow valuation approach and derivative liabilities related to conversion options for the convertible senior notes due December 2024 which are valued using a binomial model. For assets and liabilities not accounted for at fair value, the carrying values of these accounts approximates their fair values at March 31, 2022, except for the fair value of the Company’s convertible senior notes due December 2024, which was approximately $156.8 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company estimates the fair value of its notes utilizing market quotations for the debt (Level 2).

The following table presents additional information about liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which the Company utilizes Level 3 inputs to determine fair value.

Acquired contingent consideration

14

The Company estimates the fair value of its acquired contingent consideration using a probability weighted discounted cash flow valuation approach based on estimated future sales expected from Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder), an FDA approved drug for the treatment of OFF periods in Parkinson’s disease. Using this approach, expected future cash flows are calculated over the expected life of the agreement and discounted to estimate the current value of the liability at the period end date. Some of the more significant assumptions made in the valuation include (i) the estimated revenue forecast for Inbrija, and (ii) discount period and rate. The milestone payments ranged from $0.0 million to $23.0 million for Inbrija. The discount rate used in the valuation was 21.5% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The valuation is performed quarterly and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are included in the statement of operations. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, changes in the fair value of the acquired contingent consideration were primarily due to change in projected revenue and the recalculation of cash flows for the passage of time.

The acquired contingent consideration is classified as a Level 3 liability as its valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market. If different assumptions were used for the various inputs to the valuation approach, including but not limited to, assumptions involving sales estimates for Inbrija and estimated discount rates, the estimated fair value could be significantly higher or lower than the fair value determined.

Derivative Liability-Conversion Option

The following table represents a reconciliation of the derivative liability recorded in connection with the issuance of the convertible senior secured notes due 2024:

During 2019, a derivative liability was initially recorded as a result of the issuance of the 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for more information on the Convertible Senior Notes due 2024). The fair value measurement of the derivative liability is classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy as it has been valued using certain unobservable inputs. These inputs include: (1) share price as of the valuation date, (2) assumed timing of conversion of the Notes, (3) historical volatility of the share price, and (4) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using a binomial model that calculates the fair value of the Notes with the conversion feature as compared to the fair value of the Notes without the conversion feature, with the difference representing the value of the conversion feature, or the derivative liability. There are several embedded features within the Notes which, upon issuance, did not meet the conditions for equity classification. As a result, these features were aggregated together and recorded as a derivative liability conversion option. The derivative liability conversion feature is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company received stockholder approval on August 28, 2020 to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 13,333,333 shares to 61,666,666 shares. As a result of the share approval, the Company determined that multiple embedded conversion options met the conditions for equity classification. The Company performed a valuation of these conversion options as of September 17, 2020, which was the date the Company completed certain securities registration obligations. The resulting fair value of these conversion options was calculated to be $18.3 million which was reclassified to equity and presented in the statement of stockholder’s equity as of September 30, 2020 net of the $4.4 million tax impact. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The Company performed a valuation of the derivative liability related to certain embedded conversion features that are precluded from equity classification. The fair value of these conversion features was calculated to be negligible as of March 31, 2022. Key inputs used in the calculation of the fair value include stock price, volatility, risky (bond) rate, and the last observed bond price during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

(8) Investments

There were no available-for-sale investments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 

Short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase have been classified as cash equivalents, and amounted to approximately $12.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There were no short-term investments will original maturities of greater than 3 months but less than 1 year as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, there were no short-term investments in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Long-term investments have original maturities of greater than 1 year. There were no investments classified as long-term at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company has determined that there were no other-than-temporary declines in the fair values of its investments as of March 31, 2022 as the Company does not have any short or long-term investments as of March 31, 2022.

(9) Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties

As of October 1, 2017, the Company completed a royalty purchase agreement with HealthCare Royalty Partners, or HCRP (the “Royalty Agreement”). In exchange for the payment of $40 million to the Company, HCRP obtained the right to receive Fampyra royalties payable by Biogen under the Biogen Collaboration Agreement up to an agreed upon threshold of royalties. When this threshold is met, which the Company expects to occur in mid-2022, the Fampyra royalty revenue will revert back to the Company and the Company will continue to receive the Fampyra royalty revenue from Biogen until the revenue stream ends. The Royalty Agreement does not include potential future milestones to be paid by Biogen.

Since the Company maintained rights under the Biogen Collaboration Agreement, therefore, the Royalty Agreement has been accounted for as a liability that will be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the arrangement, in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance. The Company recorded the receipt of the $40 million payment from HCRP and established a corresponding liability in the amount of $40 million, net of transaction costs of approximately $2.2 million. The net liability is classified between the current and non-current portion of liability related to the sale of future royalties in the consolidated balance sheets based on the recognition of the interest and principal payments to be received by HCRP in the next 12 months from the financial statement reporting date. The total net royalties to be paid, less the net proceeds received will be recorded to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Royalty Agreement. The Company will estimate the payments to be made to HCRP over the term of the Royalty Agreement based on forecasted royalties and will calculate the interest rate required to discount such payments back to the liability balance. Over the course of the Royalty Agreement, the actual interest rate will be affected by the amount and timing of net royalty revenue recognized and changes in forecasted revenue. On a quarterly basis, the Company will reassess the effective interest rate and adjust the rate prospectively as necessary.

The following table shows the activity within the liability account for March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

(10) Debt

Convertible Senior Secured Notes Due 2024

On December 24, 2019, the Company completed the private exchange of $276.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) for a combination of newly issued 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and cash. For each $1,000 principal amount of exchanged 2021 Notes, the Company issued $750 principal amount of the 2024 Notes and made a cash payment of $200 (the “Exchange”). In the aggregate, the Company issued approximately $207.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and paid approximate $55.2 million in cash to participating holders. The Exchange was conducted with a limited

16

number of institutional holders of the 2021 Notes pursuant to Exchange Agreements dated as of December 20, 2019. The 2021 Notes received by the Company in the Exchange were cancelled in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, upon completion of the Exchange, $69.0 million of the 2021 Notes remained outstanding. On June 15, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Notes at their maturity date using cash on hand.

The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 23, 2019, among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Civitas Therapeutics, Inc. (along with any domestic subsidiaries acquired or formed after the date of issuance, the “Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (the “2024 Indenture”). The 2024 Notes are senior obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions described in the Security Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2019, between the grantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent.

The 2024 Notes will mature on December 1, 2024 unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 6.00% per annum on each June 1 and December 1, beginning on June 1, 2020. The Company may elect to pay interest in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. If the Company elects to pay interest in shares of common stock, such common stock will have a per share value equal to 95% of the daily volume-weighted average price for the 10 trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date.

The 2024 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock of the Company at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The adjusted conversion rate for the 2024 Notes is 47.6190 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, representing an adjusted conversion price of approximately $21.00 per share of common stock. The conversion rate was adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effected on December 31, 2020 and is subject to additional adjustments in certain circumstances as described in the 2024 Indenture.

The Company may elect to settle conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders who convert their 2024 Notes prior to June 1, 2023 (other than in connection with a make-whole fundamental change) will also be entitled to an interest make-whole payment equal to the sum of all regularly scheduled stated interest payments, if any, due on such 2024 Notes on each interest payment date occurring after the conversion date for such conversion and on or before June 1, 2023. In addition, the Company will have the right to cause all 2024 Notes then outstanding to be converted automatically if the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the adjusted conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied.

Holders of the 2024 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to purchase their 2024 Notes if a fundamental change (as defined in the 2024 Indenture) occurs, in each case, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. If a make-whole fundamental change occurs, as described in the 2024 Indenture, and a holder elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the adjusted conversion rate as described in the 2024 Indenture.

Subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, the 2024 Indenture restricts the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) pay dividends or make other payments or distributions on their capital stock, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any capital stock, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) incur indebtedness or issue preferred stock, other than certain forms of permitted debt, which includes, among other items, indebtedness incurred to refinance the 2021 Notes, (iv) create liens on their assets, (v) sell their assets, (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates or (vii) merge, consolidate or sell of all or substantially all of their assets. The 2024 Indenture also requires the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 2024 Notes upon the occurrence of certain asset sales.

The 2024 Indenture provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest for 30 days, (ii) failure to pay the 2024 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) failure to convert the 2024 Notes in accordance with the 2024 Indenture and the failure continues for five business days, (iv) not issuing certain notices required by the 2024 Indenture within a timely manner, (v) failure to comply with the other covenants or agreements in the 2024 Indenture for 60 days following the receipt of a notice of non-compliance, (vi) a default or other failure by the Company to make required payments under other

17

indebtedness of the Company or certain subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of $30.0 million or more, (vii) failure by the Company or certain subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $30.0 million, (viii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and (ix) the commercial launch in the United States of a product determined by the U.S. FDA to be bioequivalent to Inbrija. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, all outstanding 2024 Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Company determined that the exchange of the 2021 Notes for 2024 Notes qualified for a debt extinguishment and recognized a gain on extinguishment of $55.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing the difference between the fair value of the liability component immediately before the exchange and the carrying value of the debt. The Company recorded an adjustment of $38.4 million to additional paid-in capital to adjust the equity component of 2021 Notes in connection with the extinguishment.

The Company assessed all terms and features of the 2024 Notes in order to identify any potential embedded features that would require bifurcation. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the economic characteristics and risks of the 2024 Notes, including the conversion, put and call features. The Company concluded the conversion features required bifurcation as a derivative. The fair value of the conversion features derivative was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the 2024 Notes with the conversion options and the fair value of the 2024 Notes without the conversion options using a binomial model. The Company determined that the fair value of the derivative upon issuance of the 2024 Notes was $59.4 million and recorded this amount as a derivative liability with an offsetting amount as a debt discount as a reduction to the carrying value of the 2024 Notes on the closing date, or December 24, 2019. There are several embedded features within the 2024 Notes which, upon issuance, did not meet the conditions for equity classification. As a result, these features were aggregated together and recorded as the derivative liability conversion option. The conversion feature is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis and the changes in the fair value of the conversion feature for the period will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.   

The Company received stockholder approval on August 28, 2020 to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 13,333,333 shares to 61,666,666 shares. As a result of the share approval, the Company determined that multiple embedded conversion options met the conditions for equity classification. The Company performed a valuation of these conversion options as of September 17, 2020, which was the date the Company completed certain securities registration obligations for the shares underlying the 2024 Notes. The resulting fair value of these conversion options was $18.3 million, which was reclassified to equity and presented in the statement of stockholder’s equity as of September 30, 2020, net of the $4.4 million tax impact. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The Company performed a valuation of the derivative liability related to certain embedded conversion features that are precluded from equity classification. The fair value of these conversion features was calculated to be negligible as of March 31, 2022.

The outstanding 2024 Note balances as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:

The Company determined that the expected life of the 2024 Notes was equal to the period through December 1, 2024 as this represents the point at which the 2024 Notes will mature unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Accordingly, the total debt discount of $75.1 million, inclusive of the fair value of the embedded conversion feature derivative at issuance, is being amortized using the effective interest method through December 1, 2024. For the three -month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $6.8 million of interest expense related to the 2024 Notes at the effective interest rate of 18.13%. The fair value of the Company’s 2024 Notes was approximately $156.8 million as of March 31, 2022.

18

In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $5.7 million of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of underwriting, legal and other professional fees, and allocated these costs to the liability component and recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the debt liability on the balance sheet. The portion allocated to the 2024 Notes is amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method.

The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the 2024 Notes for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021

On June 17, 2014, the Company issued $345 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). On December 24, 2019, the Company completed the private exchange of $276.0 million aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 2021 Notes for a combination of newly issued 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and cash. The 2021 Notes received by the Company in the exchange were cancelled in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, upon completion of the exchange, $69.0 million of the 2021 Notes remained outstanding. On June 15, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Notes at their maturity date using cash on hand.

In accounting for the issuance of the 2021 Notes, the Company separated the 2021 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the 2021 Notes as a whole. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $7.5 million of debt issuance costs, which primarily consisted of underwriting, legal and other professional fees, and allocated these costs to the liability and equity components based on the allocation of the proceeds. Of the total $7.5 million of debt issuance costs, $1.3 million were allocated to the equity component and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and $6.2 million were allocated to the liability component and recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the debt liability on the balance sheet. The portion allocated to the liability component is amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the 2021 Notes using the effective interest method. The Company wrote off $1.2 million of issuance cost associated with the exchange of the 2021 Notes.

The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the 2021 Notes for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

(11) Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases.

19

The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 0.25 years to 4.75 years. The Company has exercised the option to terminate the Ardsley lease with a termination date of June 22, 2022.    

Operating Leases

The Company leases certain office space, manufacturing and warehouse space under arrangements classified as leases under ASC 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.    

Ardsley, New York

In June 2011, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for an aggregate of approximately 138,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in Ardsley, New York. In 2014, the Company exercised its option to expand into an additional 25,405 square feet of office space, which the Company occupied in January 2015.  The Company’s base rent through the June 22, 2022 termination date is $2.4 million. In September 2021, the Company sent the landlord notice of exercise of the Company’s early termination option (the “Early Termination Option”) under the lease. Pursuant to the Early Termination Option, the lease will terminate on June 22, 2022 (the “Early Termination Date”), subject to the conditions that (a) on the last business day before the Early Termination Date, the Company pays an early termination fee of approximately $4.7 million, (b) on the day immediately prior to the Early Termination Date, the Company is not in “Default” under the Lease beyond applicable cure periods, and (c) as of the Early Termination Date, the Company has complied with its end-of-term obligations. The Company is currently evaluating facility alternatives for its corporate operations after its departure from the Ardsley headquarters.     

  Chelsea, Massachusetts

The Company’s Civitas subsidiary leased a manufacturing facility in Chelsea, Massachusetts which it used to manufacture Inbrija through February 10, 2021. On February 10, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Chelsea  manufacturing operations to Catalent Pharma Solutions and assigned the lease of the Chelsea facility to a Catalent affiliate.   

  In 2018, the Company initiated a renovation and expansion of a building within the Chelsea manufacturing facility that increased the size of the facility to approximately 95,000 square feet. The project added a new size 7 spray dryer manufacturing production line for Inbrija and other ARCUS products that has greater capacity than the existing size 4 spray dryer manufacturing production line, and created additional warehousing space for manufactured product. All costs to renovate and expand the facility through the date of assignment to Catalent were borne by the Company. Since the February 10, 2021 sale of the manufacturing operations, Catalent has been responsible for finalizing the expansion, including obtaining needed regulatory approvals. However, given the potential importance of the expansion to the Company’s business, in December 2021 the Company agreed to fund $1.5 million of Catalent’s costs to complete the size 7 spray dryer expansion, which will be payable by the Company in four quarterly installments after the later of January 1, 2024 or FDA qualification and approval for use of the size 7 spray dryer.

Additional Facilities

In October 2016, the Company entered into a 10-year lease agreement with a term commencing January 1, 2017, for approximately 26,000 square feet of lab and office space in Waltham, MA. The lease provides for monthly rental payments over the lease term. The base rent under the lease is currently $1.2 million per year.

The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 0.25 years to 4.75 years, which reflects the exercise of the early termination of the Company’s Ardsley, NY lease as described above. The weighted-average remaining lease term for the

20

Company’s operating leases was 2.3 years at March 31, 2022. The weighted-average discount rate was 7.13% at March 31, 2022.

ROU assets and lease liabilities related to the Company’s operating leases are as follows:

The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for lease components together with non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance). The components of lease costs were as follows:

Future minimum commitments under all non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s operating leases are as follows:

(12) Disposal of Assets

On January 12, 2021 the Company and Catalent entered into an asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Catalent certain assets related to the Company’s manufacturing activities located at the facilities situated in Chelsea, Massachusetts (the “Chelsea Facility”) and Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Waltham Facility”), for a purchase price of $80 million, plus an additional $2.3 million for raw materials transferred, and the assumption by Catalent of certain liabilities relating to such manufacturing activities. The Company closed the transaction on February 10, 2021. The Company determined that the criterion to classify the Chelsea manufacturing operations as assets held for sale within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet effective December 31, 2020 were met. Accordingly, the assets were classified as current assets held for sale at December 31, 2020 as the Company, at that time, expected to divest the Chelsea manufacturing operations within the next twelve months.

The classification to assets held for sale impacted the net book value of the assets expected to be transferred upon sale. The estimated fair value of the Chelsea manufacturing operations was determined using the purchase price in the purchase agreement along with estimated broker, accounting, legal, and other selling expenses, which resulted in a fair value less costs

21

to sell of approximately $71.8 million. The carrying value of the assets classified as held for sale was approximately $129.7 million, which included property and equipment of $129.6 million and prepaid expenses of $0.1 million. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on assets held for sale of $57.9 million against the Chelsea manufacturing operations. Upon completion of the divestiture, final net proceeds were $74.0 million. Additionally, the expected divestiture of the Chelsea manufacturing operations was not deemed to represent a fundamental strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations, and accordingly, the operating results of the Chelsea manufacturing operations were not reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of income as of December 31, 2020.

In connection with the sale of the Chelsea manufacturing operations, the Company assigned the lease of the Chelsea manufacturing facility to a Catalent affiliate, which had a net carrying value of $(0.5) million as of the close date. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a gain on disposal of approximately $0.5 million based on the net assets transferred and final net proceeds received at the close.

(13) Corporate Restructuring

In January 2021 and September 2021, the Company announced corporate restructurings to reduce costs, more closely align operating expenses with expected revenue, and focus its resources on Inbrija. As part of the January 2021 restructuring, the Company reduced headcount by approximately 16% through a reduction in force (excluding the employees that transferred to Catalent at the closing of the sale of the Company’s Chelsea manufacturing operations). All of the reduction in personnel in connection with the January 2021 restructuring took place during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. As part of the September 2021 restructuring, the Company reduced headcount by approximately 15% through a reduction in force. Most of this reduction in force took place in September 2021, and was materially completed as of March 31, 2022, with negligible expenses to be incurred in the second quarter of 2022.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $0.2 million of restructuring charges, substantially all of which were cash expenditures for severance and other employee separation-related costs. Of the restructuring charges, $0.2 million were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

A summary of the restructuring charges for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 is as follows:

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

On November 9, 2020, Drug Royalty III, L.P., and LSRC III S.ar.l. (collectively, “DRI”) filed an arbitration claim against the Company with the American Arbitration Association under a September 26, 2003 License Agreement that it originally entered into with Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center (“Rush”). DRI previously purchased license royalty rights under the license agreement from Rush. DRI alleges a dispute over the last-to-expire patent covering sales of the drug Ampyra under the license agreement, and is claiming damages based on unpaid license royalties of $6 million plus interest. The Company believes that it has valid defenses against this claim and intends to defend itself vigorously. While the Company is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the dispute, the Company determined that it is probable that the Company may incur a liability related to the dispute which the Company estimated could be up to $2 million, inclusive of its legal costs. The Company recorded a liability of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accrued expense and other current liabilities related to the dispute. However, the Company notes that depending upon the ultimate outcome of the dispute, the potential liability could be more or less than the amount recorded.

In addition to the arbitration described above, from time to time the Company is involved in litigation or other legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. The Company has assessed all litigation and legal proceedings and does not believe that it is probable that a liability has been incurred or that the amount of any potential liability or range of losses can be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company did not record any loss contingencies for these other matters. Litigation expenses are expensed as incurred.

22

On February 10, 2021, the Company sold its Chelsea manufacturing operations to Catalent Pharma Solutions. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a long-term, global manufacturing services (supply) agreement with a Catalent affiliate pursuant to which they have agreed to manufacture Inbrija for the Company at the Chelsea facility. The manufacturing services agreement provides that Catalent will manufacture Inbrija, to the Company’s specifications, and the Company will purchase Inbrija exclusively from Catalent during the term of the manufacturing services agreement; provided that such exclusivity requirement will not apply to Inbrija intended for sale in China. Under the Company’s agreement with Catalent, it is obligated to make minimum purchase commitments for Inbrija through the expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2030.

Under the manufacturing services agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from Catalent at least $16 million of Inbrija in 2021 (pro-rated for a partial year) and $18 million of Inbrija each year from 2022 through 2030, subject to reduction in certain cases. In December 2021, the Company and Catalent amended the manufacturing services agreement to adjust the structure of the minimum payment terms for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 (the “Adjustment Period”). Under the amendment, the minimum payment obligation for the Adjustment Period is replaced with payments to Catalent for actual product delivered during the Adjustment Period subject to a cap for the Adjustment Period that corresponds to the Company’s original minimum purchase obligation for that period (i.e., $17 million), and with certain payments being made in the first half of 2022 instead of during the second half of 2021. As a result of the amendment, the Company’s cash balance at the end of 2021 reflected approximately $5.3 million associated with this modified payment schedule. The Company has submitted a binding forecast for Inbrija batches for the Adjustment Period, the total cost of which may equal, but not exceed, the original payment obligation under the manufacturing services agreement.

Additionally, pursuant to the amendment, the Company agreed that it would reimburse a portion of Catalent’s costs in completing the installation and qualification of a larger size 7 spray dryer at the Chelsea manufacturing facility, which the Company believes will be beneficial to its future production needs, in the amount of $1.5 million. This amount will be paid quarterly over a one-year period commencing no sooner than January 1, 2024.

The manufacturing services agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including with respect to the ownership of any intellectual property created pursuant to the manufacturing services agreement, as well as provisions relating to ordering, payment and shipping terms, regulatory matters, reporting obligations, indemnity, confidentiality and other matters.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $1.4 million of purchase commitments with Catalent, of which $1.1 million are recognized as inventory within the Company’s balance sheet and $0.3 million are recognized as cost of sales within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the period. As of March 31, 2022, the minimum remaining purchase commitment to Catalent was $9 million through December 31, 2022, plus any additional payments to Catalent for actual product delivered during the remainder of the Adjustment Period subject to a cap for the Adjustment Period, and $18.0 million annually each year thereafter.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Background

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies that restore function and improve the lives of people with neurological disorders. We market Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder), which is approved in the U.S. for intermittent treatment of OFF episodes, also known as OFF periods, in people with Parkinson’s disease treated with carbidopa/levodopa. Inbrija is for as needed use and utilizes our ARCUS pulmonary delivery system, a technology platform designed to deliver medication through inhalation that we believe has potential to be used in the development of a variety of inhaled medicines. We also market branded Ampyra (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg.

Our Products

Inbrija/Parkinson’s Disease

Inbrija is the first and only inhaled levodopa, or L-dopa, for intermittent treatment of OFF episodes, also known as OFF periods, in people with Parkinson’s disease treated with carbidopa/levodopa regimen. Approximately one million people in the U.S. and 1.2 million Europeans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s; it is estimated that approximately 40% of people with Parkinson’s in the U.S. experience OFF periods. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Inbrija is for a single dose of 84 mg (administered as two capsules), which may be taken up to five times per day. Currently, Inbrija is available in the U.S. without the need for a medical exception for approximately 96% of commercially insured lives and approximately 27% of Medicare plan lives. U.S. net revenue for Inbrija was $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Inbrija is also approved for use in the European Union (EU). The European Commission (EC)-approved Inbrija dose is 66 mg (administered as two capsules) up to five times per day (per EU convention, this reflects emitted dose and is equivalent to the 84 mg labelled dose in the U.S.). Under the EU approval, Inbrija is indicated for the intermittent treatment of episodic motor fluctuations (OFF episodes) in adult patients with Parkinson’s disease treated with a levodopa/dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor.

We have entered into agreements to commercialize Inbrija in Spain, Germany, and Latin America, and we are in discussions with potential partners for commercialization of Inbrija in other jurisdictions outside of the U.S. In 2021, we entered into exclusive distribution and supply agreements with Esteve Pharmaceuticals to commercialize Inbrija in Spain and Germany. Under the terms of the Germany distribution agreement, in 2021 we received a €5 million (approximately $5.9 million) upfront payment, and we are entitled to receive sales-based milestones. Under the terms of both the Spain and Germany supply agreements, we are entitled to receive a significant double-digit percentage of the Inbrija selling price in exchange for supply of the product. Esteve expects to launch Inbrija in Germany in June 2022 and in Spain in early 2023. Also, in May 2022, we announced that we entered into exclusive distribution and supply agreements with Pharma Consulting Group, S.A. (known as Biopas Laboratories) to commercialize Inbrija in nine countries within Latin America, including Brazil and Mexico. Under the terms of the Biopas agreements, we are entitled to receive a significant double-digit, tiered percentage of the Inbrija selling price in exchange for supply of the product, and we are entitled to sales-based milestones.

Inbrija utilizes our ARCUS platform for inhaled therapeutics. Because of our limited financial resources, we previously suspended work on ARCUS and other proprietary research and development programs. However, we are discussing potential collaborations with other companies that have expressed interest in formulating their novel molecules for pulmonary delivery using ARCUS, and we have already been performing feasibility studies for a number of these opportunities.

Ampyra/MS

Ampyra is an extended-release tablet formulation of dalfampridine approved by the FDA as a treatment to improve walking in patients with multiple sclerosis, or MS. Ampyra became subject to competition from generic versions of Ampyra starting in late 2018 as a result of an adverse U.S. federal district court ruling that invalidated certain Ampyra Orange Book-

24

listed patents. We have experienced a significant decline in Ampyra sales due to competition from several generic versions of Ampyra. Additional manufacturers may market generic versions of Ampyra, and we expect our Ampyra sales will continue to decline over time. U.S. net revenue for Ampyra was $14.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and $20.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Ampyra is marketed as Fampyra outside the U.S. by Biogen International GmbH, or Biogen, under a license and collaboration agreement that we entered into in June 2009. Fampyra has been approved in a number of countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Our Fampyra patents have been challenged in Germany and could be similarly challenged in other countries where Fampyra is marketed by Biogen, and these challenges could lead to generic competition with Fampyra. For example, we understand that a generic drug manufacturer that has sought to invalidate Fampyra patents in Germany through nullity proceedings has taken steps to initiate a generic launch in Germany. Refer to Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1 of this report for more information.

Catalent MSA

In February 2021, in connection with the sale of our former Chelsea, Massachusetts manufacturing operations, we entered into a long-term, global manufacturing services agreement with Catalent for the supply of Inbrija. The Catalent manufacturing services agreement provides that Catalent will manufacture Inbrija, to our specifications, and we will purchase Inbrija exclusively from Catalent during the term of the manufacturing services agreement; provided that such exclusivity requirement will not apply to Inbrija intended for sale in China.

Under the manufacturing services agreement, we agreed to purchase from Catalent at least $16 million of Inbrija in 2021 (pro-rated for a partial year) and $18 million of Inbrija each year from 2022 through 2030, subject to reduction in certain cases. In December 2021, we and Catalent amended the manufacturing services agreement to adjust the structure of the minimum payment terms for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 (the “Adjustment Period”). Under the amendment, the minimum payment obligation for the Adjustment Period is replaced with payments to Catalent for actual product delivered during the Adjustment Period subject to a cap for the Adjustment Period that corresponds to our original minimum purchase obligation for that period (i.e., $17 million), and with certain payments being made in the first half of 2022 instead of during the second half of 2021. As a result of the amendment, our cash balance at the end of 2021 reflected approximately $5.3 million associated with this modified payment schedule. We have submitted a binding forecast for Inbrija batches for the Adjustment Period, the total cost of which may equal, but not exceed, the original payment obligation under the manufacturing services agreement.

Additionally, pursuant to the amendment, we agreed that we would reimburse a portion of Catalent’s costs in completing the installation and qualification of a larger size 7 spray dryer at the Chelsea manufacturing facility, which we believe will be beneficial to our future production needs, in the amount of $1.5 million. This amount will be paid quarterly over a one-year period commencing no sooner than January 1, 2024.

Financial Management

In January 2021 and September 2021, we announced corporate restructurings to reduce costs, more closely align operating expenses with expected revenue, and focus our resources on Inbrija. The headcount reductions and other budget cuts we implemented, including those resulting from the sale of the Chelsea manufacturing operations described above, are expected to result in a $60 million annualized reduction in operating expenses in 2022 as compared to 2020.

In January 2021, we entered into an At The Market (ATM) Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as sales agent. Pursuant to the ATM agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of up to $15.25 million in an at-the-market offering, subject to a 3% sales commission payable to H.C. Wainwright.

In September 2021, we sent to BMR-Ardsley Park LLC (“BMR”) notice of exercise of our early termination option (the “Early Termination Option”) under our lease dated as of June 23, 2011, between us and BMR (as amended, the “lease”). The lease is for our Ardsley, N.Y. corporate headquarters, which we believe is substantially larger than our needs for the foreseeable future. Pursuant to the Early Termination Option, the lease will terminate on June 22, 2022 and we will pay an early termination fee of approximately $4.7 million. We are currently evaluating facility alternatives for our corporate operations after our departure from our Ardsley headquarters.  

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $51.5 million. Restricted cash includes $18.6 million in escrow related to the 6% semi-annual interest portion of our convertible senior secured notes

25

due 2024, which interest is payable in cash or stock. If we elect to pay interest due in stock, a corresponding amount of the restricted cash will be released from escrow.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Our business and financial condition have been impacted by, and are subject to risks resulting from, the COVID-19 global pandemic. The COVID-19 global pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the healthcare industry. The duration of the pandemic is difficult to predict, and it is likely to have ongoing impacts as it continues. The travel restrictions, “shelter in place” orders, quarantine policies, vaccine mandates, and general concerns about the spread and effects of COVID-19 have disrupted the delivery of healthcare to patients; for example, the pandemic has made it more difficult for some patients to visit with their physician and obtain pharmaceutical prescriptions. Also, healthcare office staffing shortages may delay the administrative work, and particularly insurance-related documentation, needed to obtain reimbursement for prescriptions. We also believe that the governmental and other restrictions and requirements related to the pandemic may have caused certain patients to lessen their mobility and therefore their need for certain therapeutics. We believe these factors contributed to volatility in new Inbrija prescriptions since the start of the pandemic in 2020 and are continuing to impact prescriptions in 2022.

COVID-related policies, restrictions, and concerns may disrupt our operations and those of our customers and suppliers. Also, our operations could be interrupted if we or our customers or suppliers lose the services of key employees or consultants who become ill from COVID-19. These types of disruptions could potentially affect any of our critical business functions, and thus harm our business, including for example our sales and marketing operations, as well as compliance and certain general and administrative functions. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, or any other health epidemic, is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, healthcare systems, or the global economy as a whole. As the pandemic continues, it may cause continuing economic volatility or result in a sustained economic downturn that could affect demand for our products and our ability to access capital on reasonable terms, or at all. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Inbrija and ARCUS

Inbrija is the first and only inhaled levodopa, or L-dopa, for intermittent treatment of OFF episodes, also known as OFF periods, in people with Parkinson’s disease treated with carbidopa/levodopa regimen. Our New Drug Application, or NDA, for Inbrija was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in December 2018. The approval is for a single dose of 84 mg (administered as two capsules), which may be taken up to five times per day. Inbrija became commercially available in the U.S. in February 2019. Currently, Inbrija is available in the U.S. without the need for a medical exception for approximately 96% of commercially insured lives and approximately 27% of Medicare plan lives. U.S. net revenue for Inbrija was $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

In September 2019, the European Commission, or EC, approved our Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, for Inbrija. The approved dose is 66 mg (administered as two capsules) up to five times per day (per European Union, or EU, convention, this reflects emitted dose and is equivalent to the 84 mg labelled dose in the U.S.). Under the MAA, Inbrija is indicated in the EU for the intermittent treatment of episodic motor fluctuations (OFF episodes) in adult patients with Parkinson’s disease treated with a levodopa/dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor. The MAA approved Inbrija for use in what were then the 27 countries of the EU, as well as Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Following the exit of the UK from the EU, we were granted a grandfathered Marketing Authorization (MA) by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK that was approved in November 2021.

We have entered into agreements to commercialize Inbrija in Spain, Germany, and Latin America, and we are in discussions with potential partners for commercialization of Inbrija in other jurisdictions outside of the U.S. In 2021, we entered into exclusive distribution and supply agreements with Esteve Pharmaceuticals to commercialize Inbrija in Spain and Germany. Under the terms of the Germany distribution agreement, in 2021 we received a €5 million (approximately $5.9 million) upfront payment, and we are entitled to receive sales-based milestones. Under the terms of both the Spain and Germany supply agreements, we are entitled to receive a significant double-digit percentage of the Inbrija selling price in exchange for supply of the product. Esteve expects to launch Inbrija in Germany in June 2022 and in Spain in early 2023. Also, in May 2022, we announced that we entered into exclusive distribution and supply agreements with Pharma Consulting Group, S.A. (known as Biopas Laboratories) to commercialize Inbrija in nine countries within Latin America, including

26

Brazil and Mexico. Under the terms of the Biopas agreements, we are entitled to receive a significant double-digit, tiered percentage of the Inbrija selling price in exchange for supply of the product, and we are entitled to sales-based milestones.

We market Inbrija in the U.S. using field-based teams supported by our corporate marketing personnel. Our own neuro-specialty sales representatives work in combination with sales representatives provided by contract commercial organizations, and collectively they are currently focused on a priority list of physicians who are high volume prescribers of carbidopa/levodopa and other products indicated to treat OFF episodes. Our field-based teams also include reimbursement and market access specialists, who provide information to physicians and payers on our marketed products, as well as market development specialists who work collaboratively with field-sales teams and corporate personnel to assist in the execution of our strategic initiatives. Our Inbrija field-based and marketing activities are focused on physician awareness and market access as well as patient awareness, education and training. Inbrija is distributed in the U.S. primarily through: AllianceRx Walgreens Prime, or Walgreens, a specialty pharmacy that delivers the medication to patients by mail; and ASD Specialty healthcare, Inc. (an AmeriSource Bergen affiliate). Also, we recently implemented an e-prescribing program for the distribution of Inbrija in the U.S. through a specialty pharmacy that supports electronic prescriptions. We believe the convenience of electronic prescribing may be preferred by some physicians and patients.

We have established Prescription Support Services for Inbrija, sometimes referred to as the Inbrija hub, which helps patients navigate their insurance coverage and identify potential financial support alternatives, when appropriate. The Inbrija hub also includes a virtual nurse educator program to assist patients with proper usage of the Inbrija inhaler. Insurance coverage services fall into one of these categories: insurance verification, to research patient insurance benefits and confirm insurance coverage; prior authorization support, to identify prior authorization requirements; and appeals support. For patients that may need assistance paying for their medication, Prescription Support Services offers several support options, including: a program that provides no cost medication to patients who meet specific program eligibility requirements; co-pay support, which may help commercially insured (non-government funded) patients lower their out-of-pocket costs; and a bridge program for federally insured patients who experience a delay in coverage determination. We have a no-cost sample program, available at physician offices, to enable patients and their physicians to assess the value of Inbrija before the patient incurs out-of-pocket co-pay or co-insurance costs. In addition, we have a first dispense zero-dollar copay program for commercially insured patients (which replaced our previous free trial program) to enable those patients to assess the value of Inbrija before incurring out-of-pocket co-pay or co-insurance costs.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder resulting from the gradual loss of certain neurons in the brain. These neurons are responsible for producing dopamine and that loss causes a range of symptoms including impaired movement, muscle stiffness and tremors. The standard baseline treatment of Parkinson’s disease is oral carbidopa/levodopa, but oral medication can be associated with wide variability in the timing and amount of absorption and there are significant challenges in creating a regimen that consistently maintains therapeutic effects. As Parkinson’s progresses, people are likely to experience OFF periods, which are characterized by the return of Parkinson’s symptoms that result from low levels of dopamine between doses of oral carbidopa/levodopa. OFF periods are often highly disruptive to people with Parkinson’s. Approximately one million people in the U.S. and 1.2 million Europeans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s; it is estimated that approximately 40% of people with Parkinson’s in the U.S. experience OFF periods.

Inbrija utilizes our ARCUS platform for inhaled therapeutics. ARCUS is a dry-powder pulmonary drug delivery technology that we believe has potential to be used in the development of a variety of inhaled medicines. The ARCUS platform allows systemic delivery of medication through inhalation, by transforming molecules into a light, porous dry powder. This allows delivery of substantially higher doses of medication than can be delivered via conventional dry powder technologies. We acquired the ARCUS technology platform as part of our 2014 acquisition of Civitas Therapeutics. We have worldwide rights to our ARCUS drug delivery technology, which is protected by extensive know-how and trade secrets and various U.S. and foreign patents, including patents that protect the Inbrija dry powder capsules beyond 2030. We have several patents listed in the Orange Book for Inbrija, including patents expiring between 2022 and 2032. Inbrija was also entitled to three years of new product exclusivity in the U.S. that expired in December 2021. We have patents in Europe for Inbrija expiring between 2022 and 2033. One of our European patents, EP 3090773B, had been opposed by an unnamed party but in 2021 was maintained as granted by the European Opposition Board. Inbrija also has ten years of market exclusivity in Europe that is set to expire in September 2029.

We believe there are potential opportunities for using ARCUS with central nervous system, or CNS, as well as non-CNS, disorders. Due to several corporate restructurings since 2017 and associated cost-cutting measures, including the corporate restructurings we announced in January and September 2021, we suspended work on ARCUS and other proprietary research and development programs. However, we are discussing potential collaborations with other companies that have

27

expressed interest in formulating their novel molecules for pulmonary delivery using ARCUS, and we have already been performing feasibility studies for a number of these opportunities.

Should we decide to proceed with any ARCUS development programs, we would be reliant on Catalent or another third-party supplier for the manufacture of product for that program. Our global supply agreement with Catalent does not provide for the terms and conditions under which Catalent would supply any product or product candidate other than Inbrija. We would be unable to advance the development of any ARCUS inhaled therapeutic candidate unless Catalent is willing to manufacture the candidate for us on commercially reasonable terms, or we could identify another third-party manufacturer that would be capable and willing to manufacture the candidate for us on commercially reasonable terms. Also, due to reductions in force, employee attrition and the 2021 sale of our Chelsea manufacturing operations, we may need to hire replacement personnel or engage consultants to continue with ARCUS research and development work beyond feasibility and similar early-stage studies.

Ampyra

Ampyra was approved by the FDA in January 2010 to improve walking in adults with multiple sclerosis. To our knowledge, Ampyra is the first drug approved for this indication. Efficacy was shown in people with all four major types of MS (relapsing remitting, secondary progressive, progressive relapsing and primary progressive). Ampyra became subject to competition from generic versions of Ampyra starting in late 2018 as a result of an adverse U.S. federal district court ruling that invalidated certain Ampyra Orange Book-listed patents. We have experienced a significant decline in Ampyra sales due to competition from several generic versions of Ampyra. Additional manufacturers may market generic versions of Ampyra, and we expect our Ampyra sales will continue to decline over time. U.S. net revenue for Ampyra was $14.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and $20.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

License and Collaboration Agreement with Biogen

Ampyra is marketed as Fampyra outside the U.S. by Biogen International GmbH, or Biogen, under a license and collaboration agreement that we entered into in June 2009. Fampyra has been approved in a number of countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas. In May 2021, Biogen announced that Fampyra was approved by the National Medical Products Administration in China, and Biogen is evaluating commercial launch options in that country. Our Fampyra patents have been challenged in Germany and could be similarly challenged in other countries where Fampyra is marketed by Biogen, and these challenges could lead to generic competition with Fampyra.

Under our agreement with Biogen, we are entitled to receive double-digit tiered royalties on net sales of Fampyra and we are also entitled to receive additional payments based on achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones, although we do not anticipate achievement of any of those milestones in the foreseeable future. In November 2017, we announced a $40 million Fampyra royalty monetization transaction with HealthCare Royalty Partners, or HCRP. In return for the payment to us, HCRP obtained the right to receive these Fampyra royalties up to an agreed-upon threshold. Until this threshold is met, which we expect to occur in mid-2022, we will not receive Fampyra royalties although we retained the right to receive any potential future milestone payments. The HCRP transaction is accounted for as a liability, as described in Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Ampyra Patent Update

There are no patents listed in the Orange Book for Ampyra. Ampyra became subject to competition from generic versions of Ampyra starting in late 2018 as a result of an adverse U.S. federal district court ruling that invalidated certain Ampyra Orange Book-listed patents.

There are two European patents, EP 1732548 and EP 2377536, with claims directed to use of a sustained release dalfampridine composition (known under the trade name Fampyra in the European Union) to increase walking speed in a patient with multiple sclerosis. Both European patents are set to expire in 2025, absent any additional exclusivity granted based on regulatory review timelines. Fampyra had ten years of market exclusivity in the European Union that expired in 2021. Accordingly, even though the European patents were upheld by the Technical Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office, Fampyra could potentially face competition from generic drug manufacturers that may seek to challenge Fampyra’s European patents within individual European countries. For example, we understand that a generic drug manufacturer that has sought to invalidate Fampyra patents in Germany through nullity proceedings, as described in the following paragraph, has taken steps to initiate a generic launch in Germany.

28

On August 20, 2020, ratiopharm Gmbh (an affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.) filed nullity actions against us in the German Federal Patent Court seeking to invalidate both of our German patents that derived from our European patents, EP 1732548 (the ‘548 patent) and EP 2377536 (the ‘536 patent), with claims directed to the use of a sustained dalmfapridine composition to increase walking speed in a patient with multiple sclerosis. In November 2021, the German Federal Patent Court issued preliminary opinions indicating that the claimed subject matter of the ‘548 patent lacked inventive step and the claimed subject matter of the ‘536 patent lacked novelty and inventive step. At an oral hearing in February 2022, the German court dismissed ratiopharm’s action against the ‘536 patent as inadmissible because of ongoing formality proceedings relating to the ‘536 patent in the European Patent Office. At an oral hearing in April 2022, the German court dismissed ratiopharm’s action against the ‘548 patent as inadmissible because of ongoing formality proceedings relating to the ‘548 patent in the European Patent Office. Ratiopharm could appeal these decisions or refile the nullity actions when the formalities are completed at the European Patent Office. On January 11, 2022, STADA Arzneimittel also filed a nullity action against the ‘536 patent in the same court. We are working with Biogen to vigorously defend these actions and enforce our patent rights. Refer to Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1 of this report for more information.

Results of Operations

Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to March 31, 2021

Net Product Revenues

Inbrija

We recognize product sales of Inbrija following receipt of product by companies in our distribution network, which for Inbrija primarily includes specialty pharmacies, which deliver the medication to patients by mail, and ASD Specialty Healthcare, Inc. (an AmeriSource Bergen affiliate). We recognized net revenues from the sale of Inbrija of $3.7 million and $5.0 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $1.3 million or 26%. The decrease in Inbrija net revenues of $1.3 million was composed of a decrease in volume of $0.3 million and an increase in discount and allowance adjustments of $1.2 million, partially offset by an increase in price of $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. Consistent with trends in previous years, we anticipated declines in first quarter net sales given patient overstocking in the fourth quarter, insurance resetting at the beginning of each year, and quarterly true-up discounts and allowances as discussed below.

Discounts and allowances which are included as an offset in net revenues consist of allowances for customer credits, including estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns and discounts. Discounts and allowances are recorded following shipment of our products to our customers. Adjustments are recorded for estimated chargebacks, rebates, and discounts. Discounts and allowances also consist of discounts provided to Medicare beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap (i.e., the “donut hole”). Payment of coverage gap discounts is required under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform legislation enacted in 2010. Discounts and allowances may increase as a percentage of sales as we enter into new managed care contracts in the future. Higher discounts and allowances in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 were a result of true-ups for the difference between estimated amounts accrued and actual amounts ultimately paid.

We believe that first and fourth quarter revenues for our products is subject to certain recurring seasonal factors relating to the commencement of a new calendar year. For example, some patients refill their prescriptions earlier ahead of the new year, in the fourth quarter, in anticipation of the year-end reset of health plan deductibles and the Medicare donut hole, or a year-end switch of their insurance plans or pharmacy benefit providers. Also, we believe that AllianceRx Walgreens Prime (Walgreens), our primary specialty pharmacy used for Inbrija distribution, may increase their Inbrija inventory, within contractual limits, in anticipation of the holidays and new year. We believe these factors have had a positive impact on fourth quarter revenues and a negative impact on first quarter revenues in the past two years. Also, discounts and allowances typically are highest in the first quarter, and lowest in the fourth quarter, and when this occurs fourth quarter revenues increase, and first quarter revenues decrease, on a relative basis.

Ampyra

We recognize product sales of Ampyra following receipt of product by companies in our distribution network, which for Ampyra primarily includes specialty pharmacies, which deliver the medication to patients by mail. We recognized net

29

revenues from the sale of Ampyra to these customers of $14.9 million and $20.3 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 27%. The decrease in Ampyra net revenues of $5.4 million was composed of a decrease in volume of $3.9 million and an increase in discount and allowance adjustments of $2.3 million, partially offset by an increase in price of $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. Consistent with trends in previous years, we anticipated declines in first quarter net sales given patient overstocking in the fourth quarter, insurance resetting at the beginning of each year, and quarterly true-up discounts and allowances as discussed below.

Discounts and allowances which are included as an offset in net revenues consist of allowances for customer credits, including estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns and discounts. Discounts and allowances are recorded following shipment of our products to our customers. Adjustments are recorded for estimated chargebacks, rebates, and discounts. Discounts and allowances also consist of discounts provided to Medicare beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap (i.e., the “donut hole”). Payment of coverage gap discounts is required under the Affordable Care Act. Discounts and allowances may increase as a percentage of sales as we enter into managed care contracts in the future. Higher discounts and allowances in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 were a result of true-ups for the difference between estimated amounts accrued and actual amounts ultimately paid.

We believe that first and fourth quarter revenues for our products is subject to certain recurring seasonal factors relating to the commencement of a new calendar year. For example, some patients refill their prescriptions earlier ahead of the new year, in the fourth quarter, in anticipation of the year-end reset of health plan deductibles and the Medicare donut hole, or a year-end switch of their insurance plans or pharmacy benefit providers. Also, we believe specialty pharmacies may increase their inventory anticipation of the holidays and new year. These factors have had a positive impact on fourth quarter revenues and a negative impact on first quarter revenues. Also, discounts and allowances typically are highest in the first quarter, and lowest in the fourth quarter, and when this occurs fourth quarter revenues increase, and first quarter revenues decrease, on a relative basis.

Other Product Revenues

We recognized $0 and negligible revenues from the sale of other products for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Royalty Revenues

We recognized $4.0 million and $3.6 million in royalty revenues for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 11%.

Cost of Sales

We recorded cost of sales of $6.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $12.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Cost of sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of $5.7 million in inventory costs related to recognized revenues and $0.3 million in royalty fees based on net product shipments. Cost of sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of $10.3 million in inventory costs related to recognized revenues and $0.3 million in royalty fees based on net product shipments.

Amortization of Intangibles

We recorded amortization of intangible asset related to Inbrija of $7.7 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 were $1.7 million as compared to $4.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately $3.0 million, or 64%. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in Civitas spending of $1.3 million due to the commercialization of Inbrija, reductions of $1.7 million due to restructuring and decrease in several programs to shift focus on Inbrija launch.

30

Selling, General and Administrative

Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 were $10.1 million compared to $15.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately $5.1 million, or 34%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in marketing-related spending of $2.2 million for Inbrija, a decrease in overall salaries and benefits of $2.3 million, and a decrease in spending related to marketing for Ampyra of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in other selling related expenses of $0.8 million.

General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 were $16.8 million compared to $18.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately $2.0 million, or 11%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of $2.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million in restructuring costs, a decrease in overall salaries and benefit costs of $2.1 million, and a decrease in Civitas spending of $0.4 million due to the sale of the Chelsea facility manufacturing operations, partially offset by an increase in other departmental spending of $4.0 million.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

A derivative liability was recorded in December 2019 as a result of the issuance of the 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024. The derivative liability is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis and changes in the fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. We recorded negligible income due to the change in the fair value of the derivative liability for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Changes in Fair Value of Acquired Contingent Consideration

As a result of the original spin out of Civitas from Alkermes, part of the consideration to Alkermes was a future royalty to be paid to Alkermes on Inbrija. Acorda acquired this contingent consideration as part of the Civitas acquisition. The fair value of that future royalty is assessed quarterly. We recorded income relating to changes in the fair value of our acquired contingent consideration of $3.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to income of $1.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The changes in the fair-value of the acquired contingent consideration were primarily due to updates the change in projected revenue and the recalculation of cash flows for the passage of time, as well as a decrease in the discount rate.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was $7.6 million and $7.8 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(Provision for)/Benefit from Income Taxes

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a provision from income taxes of ($0.3) million and a benefit of $3.2 million, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were (1.1%) and 8.6%, respectively.

The variance in the effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was due primarily to the forfeitures of equity of which no tax deduction is recorded and the increase in the valuation allowance recorded on deferred tax assets for which no tax benefit can be recognized.

We continue to evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and will adjust such amounts in light of changing facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, future projections of taxable income, tax legislation, rulings by relevant tax authorities, the progress of ongoing tax audits and the regulatory approval of products currently under development. Any changes to the valuation allowance or deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future would impact our income taxes.

We have ongoing state examinations in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and New Jersey which cover multiple years. There have been no proposed adjustments at this stage of the examination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily from: private placements and public offerings of our capital stock; borrowing money through loans and the issuance of debt instruments; payments received under our collaboration and licensing agreements; revenue from sales of Ampyra, Fampyra, and Inbrija, as well as our former products, Zanaflex and Qutenza; royalty monetizations and our revenue interest financing arrangement; and, to a lesser extent, funding from government grants. Also, in February 2021, we obtained additional capital from the sale of our Chelsea manufacturing operations.

At March 31, 2022, we had $31.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2021. Our March 31, 2022 cash and cash equivalents balance does not include $18.6 million of restricted cash that is currently held in escrow under the terms of our convertible senior secured notes due 2024, further described below under Financing Arrangements, which may potentially be released from escrow if we pay interest on those notes using shares of our common stock (the amount released would correspond to the amount of interest paid using shares). We incurred a net loss of $24.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including:

Our ability to meet our future operating requirements, repay our liabilities, and meet our other obligations are dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to generate cash from product sales, reduce planned expenditures, and obtain additional financing. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from the sale of our products, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, subject to the restrictions contained in the indenture governing our 2024 Notes, such as further reducing expenses, selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous and which are likely to be highly dilutive. Also, our ability to raise additional capital and repay or restructure our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time, among other factors. In addition, financing may not be available when needed, at all, on terms acceptable to us or in accordance with the restrictions described above.

Financing Arrangements

Convertible Senior Secured Notes Due 2024

On December 24, 2019, we completed the private exchange of $276.0 million aggregate principal amount of  our outstanding 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) for a combination of newly issued 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and cash. For each $1,000 principal amount of exchanged 2021 Notes, we issued $750 principal amount of the 2024 Notes and made a cash payment of $200 (the “Exchange”). In the aggregate, we issued approximately $207.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and paid approximate $55.2 million in cash to participating holders. The Exchange was conducted with a limited number of institutional holders of the 2021 Notes pursuant to Exchange Agreements dated as of December 20, 2019. The 2021 Notes received by us in the Exchange were cancelled in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, upon completion of the Exchange, $69.0 million of

32

the 2021 Notes remained outstanding. On June 15, 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Notes at their maturity date using cash on hand.

The 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 23, 2019, among us, our wholly owned subsidiary, Civitas Therapeutics, Inc. (along with any domestic subsidiaries acquired or formed after the date of issuance, the “Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (the “2024 Indenture”). The 2024 Notes are senior obligations of us and the Guarantors, secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of us and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions described in the Security Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2019, between the grantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent.

The 2024 Notes will mature on December 1, 2024 unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 6.00% per annum on each June 1 and December 1, beginning on June 1, 2020. We may elect to pay interest in cash or shares of our common stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. If we elect to pay interest in shares of common stock, such common stock will have a per share value equal to 95% of the daily volume-weighted average price for the 10 trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date.

The 2024 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The adjusted conversion rate for the 2024 Notes is 47.6190 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, representing an adjusted conversion price of approximately $21.00 per share of common stock. The conversion rate was adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effected on December 31, 2020 and is subject to additional adjustments in certain circumstances as described in the 2024 Indenture.

We may elect to settle conversions of the 2024 Notes in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Holders who convert their 2024 Notes prior to June 1, 2023 (other than in connection with a make-whole fundamental change) will also be entitled to an interest make-whole payment equal to the sum of all regularly scheduled stated interest payments, if any, due on such 2024 Notes on each interest payment date occurring after the conversion date for such conversion and on or before June 1, 2023. In addition, we will have the right to cause all 2024 Notes then outstanding to be converted automatically if the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the adjusted conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied.

Holders of the 2024 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to purchase their 2024 Notes if a fundamental change (as defined in the 2024 Indenture) occurs, in each case, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. If a make-whole fundamental change occurs, as described in the 2024 Indenture, and a holder elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the adjusted conversion rate as described in the 2024 Indenture.

Subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, the 2024 Indenture restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) pay dividends or make other payments or distributions on their capital stock, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any capital stock, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) incur indebtedness or issue preferred stock, other than certain forms of permitted debt, which includes, among other items, indebtedness incurred to refinance the 2021 Notes, (iv) create liens on their assets, (v) sell their assets, (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates or (vii) merge, consolidate or sell of all or substantially all of their assets. The 2024 Indenture also requires us to make an offer to repurchase the 2024 Notes upon the occurrence of certain asset sales.

The 2024 Indenture provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest for 30 days, (ii) failure to pay the 2024 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) failure to convert the 2024 Notes in accordance with the 2024 Indenture and the failure continues for five business days, (iv) not issuing certain notices required by the 2024 Indenture within a timely manner, (v) failure to comply with the other covenants or agreements in the 2024 Indenture for 60 days following the receipt of a notice of non-compliance, (vi) a default or other failure by us to make required payments under our or certain of our subsidiaries; other indebtedness having an outstanding principal amount of $30.0 million or more, (vii) failure by us or certain of our subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $30.0 million, (viii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and (ix) the commercial launch in the United States of a product determined by the U.S. FDA to be bioequivalent to Inbrija. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, all outstanding 2024 Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other

33

event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

We assessed all terms and features of the 2024 Notes in order to identify any potential embedded features that would require bifurcation. As part of this analysis, we assessed the economic characteristics and risks of the 2024 Notes, including the conversion, put and call features. We concluded the conversion features required bifurcation as a derivative. The fair value of the conversion features derivative was determined based on the difference between the fair value of the 2024 Notes with the conversion options and the fair value of the 2024 Notes without the conversion options using a binomial model. We determined that the fair value of the derivative upon issuance of the 2024 Notes was $59.4 million and recorded this amount as a derivative liability with an offsetting amount as a debt discount as a reduction to the carrying value of the 2024 Notes on the closing date, or December 24, 2019. There are several embedded features within the 2024 Notes which, upon issuance, did not meet the conditions for equity classification. As a result, these features were aggregated together and recorded as the derivative liability conversion option. The conversion feature is measured at fair value on a quarterly basis and the changes in the fair value of the conversion feature for the period will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

We received stockholder approval on August 28, 2020 to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 13,333,333 shares to 61,666,666 shares. As a result of the share approval, we determined that multiple embedded conversion options met the conditions for equity classification. We performed a valuation of these conversion options as of September 17, 2020, which was the date we completed certain securities registration obligations for the shares underlying the 2024 Notes. The resulting fair value of these conversion options was $18.3 million, which was reclassified to equity and presented in the statement of stockholder’s equity as of September 30, 2020, net of the $4.4 million tax impact. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. We performed a valuation of the derivative liability related to certain embedded conversion features that are precluded from equity classification. The fair value of these conversion features was calculated to be negligible as of March 31, 2022. The outstanding 2024 Note balances as of March 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021

In June 2014, we issued $345 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). On December 24, 2019, we completed the private exchange of $276.0 million aggregate principal amount of then-outstanding 2021 Notes for a combination of newly issued 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 and cash. Accordingly, upon completion of the exchange, $69.0 million of the 2021 Notes remained outstanding. On June 15, 2021, we repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Notes at their maturity date using cash on hand.

Non-Convertible Capital Loans

Our Biotie subsidiary received fourteen non-convertible capital loans granted by Business Finland (formerly Tekes) for research and development of specific drug candidates, with an aggregate adjusted acquisition-date fair value of $20.5 million (€18.2 million) and an aggregate carrying value of $27.7 million as of March 31, 2022. The loans bear interest based on the greater of 3% or the base rate set by Finland’s Ministry of Finance minus one percentage point. The maturity dates for these loans range from eight to ten years from the date of issuance. However, the loans are to be repaid only when the consolidated retained earnings of Biotie from the development of the specific product candidates that are the subject of the loans is sufficient to fully repay the loans. As of March 31, 2022, Biotie had approximately $14.5 million in cash, which is not available for use in domestic operations without repatriation.

Research and Development Loans

In addition to the non-convertible capital loans described above, Research and Development Loans (“R&D loans”) were granted to Biotie by Business Finland with an acquisition-date fair value of $2.9 million (€2.6 million) and a carrying value of $0 as of March 31, 2022. These loans were repaid in equal annual installments from January 2017 through January 2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $31.9 million, as compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2021. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase and consist of investments in a Treasury money market fund. Also, we maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits. We do not anticipate any losses with respect to such cash balances. Our March 31, 2022 cash and cash equivalents balance does not include $18.6 million of restricted cash that is currently held in escrow under the terms of our convertible senior secured notes due 2024, further described above under Financing Arrangements, which may potentially be released from escrow if we pay interest on those notes using shares of our common stock (the amount released would correspond to the amount of interest paid using shares).

Net Cash Used in Operations

Net cash used in operations was $13.6 million for the three-month period ending March 31, 2022. Cash used by operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a net loss of $24.5 million, a change in acquired contingent consideration obligation of $3.0 million, non-cash royalty revenue of $2.9 million, a decrease in other non-current liabilities of $0.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $4.2 million, and an increase in other assets of $0.9 million. This was partially offset by share based compensation expense of $0.5 million, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of $4.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $8.5 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $5.0 million, a decrease in inventory of $3.7 million, a tax provision of $0.3 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.1 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 was due primarily to negligible purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets.

Net Cash Provided by Financing

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 was $0.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

A summary of our minimum contractual obligations related to our material outstanding contractual commitments is included in Note 13 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our long-term contractual obligations include commitments and estimated purchase obligations entered into in the normal course of business.

35

Under certain agreements, we are required to pay royalties or license fees and milestones for the use of technologies and products in our research and development activities and in the commercialization of products. The amount and timing of any of the foregoing payments are not known due to the uncertainty surrounding the successful research, development and commercialization of the products. As of March 31, 2022, we have inventory-related purchase commitments of approximately $4.7 million, as compared to $2.7 million as of March 31, 2021. Under our agreement with Catalent, we are obligated to make minimum purchase commitments for Inbrija through the expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2030. As of March 31, 2022, the minimum remaining purchase commitment to Catalent was $9 million through December 31, 2022, plus any additional payments to Catalent for actual product delivered during the remainder of the Adjustment Period subject to the cap of the Adjustment Period, and $18 million annually each year thereafter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (Topic 740). Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”. Other than the adoption of these new accounting guidance, our significant accounting policies have not changed materially from December 31, 2021. 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the first quarter of 2022, the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to achieve their stated purpose.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations, and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Change in internal control over financial reporting

In connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the effectiveness of controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation or other legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of our business, including the matters described below. The outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings is unpredictable, and regardless of outcome, they can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

On November 9, 2020, Drug Royalty III, L.P., and LSRC III S.ar.l. (collectively, “DRI”) filed an arbitration claim against us with the American Arbitration Association under a September 26, 2003 License Agreement that we originally entered into with Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke’s Medical Center (“Rush”). DRI previously purchased license royalty rights under the license agreement from Rush. DRI alleges a dispute over the last-to-expire patent covering sales of the drug Ampyra under the license agreement, and is claiming damages based on unpaid license royalties of $6 million plus interest. We believe we have valid defenses against this claim and intend to defend ourselves vigorously.

On August 20, 2020, ratiopharm Gmbh (an affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.) filed nullity actions against us in the German Federal Patent Court seeking to invalidate both of our German patents that derived from our European patents, EP 1732548 (the ‘548 patent) and EP 2377536 (the ‘536 patent), with claims directed to the use of a sustained dalmfapridine composition to increase walking speed in a patient with multiple sclerosis. In November 2021, the German Federal Patent Court issued preliminary opinions indicating that the claimed subject matter of the ‘548 patent lacked inventive step and the claimed subject matter of the ‘536 patent lacked novelty and inventive step. At an oral hearing in February 2022, the German court dismissed ratiopharm’s action against the ‘536 patent as inadmissible because of ongoing formality proceedings relating to the ‘536 patent in the European Patent Office. At an oral hearing in April 2022, the German court dismissed ratiopharm’s action against the ‘548 patent as inadmissible because of ongoing formality proceedings relating to the ‘548 patent in the European Patent Office. Ratiopharm could appeal these decisions or refile the nullity actions when the formalities are completed at the European Patent Office. We understand that ratiopharm has taken steps to initiate a generic launch in Germany, notwithstanding the dismissals of the nullity actions. On January 11, 2022, STADA Arzneimittel also filed a nullity action against the ‘536 patent in the same court. We are working with Biogen to vigorously defend these actions and enforce our patent rights.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as updated in our Quarterly Reports subsequently filed during the current fiscal year, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks 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 materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
