2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data, which is presented for comparative purposes, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (commonly referred to as “GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to state fairly the results of operations for the reported periods.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report that has been filed with the SEC. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alkermes plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” accompanying the Annual Report. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, its collaborative relationships, clinical trial expenses, the valuation of inventory, impairment and amortization of intangibles and long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of investments, contingent consideration and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Segment Information

The Company operates as one business segment, which is the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing medicines. The Company’s chief decision maker, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating unit.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 primarily related to U.S. federal and state taxes. The Company records a deferred tax asset or liability based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of its assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted jurisdictional tax rates assumed to be in effect when these differences reverse. At September 30, 2018, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates, at each reporting period, the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has not modified its position with respect to provisional amounts recorded to its financial statements as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) that was enacted in December 2017. The Company will continue to analyze the impact of Tax Reform. For additional information, please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” accompanying the Annual Report.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance (“Topic 606”) is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Numerous updates have been issued subsequent to the initial guidance that provide clarification on a number of specific issues and require additional disclosures. The two permitted transition methods under the new guidance are the full retrospective method, in which case the guidance would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the guidance would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the guidance would be recognized at the date of initial application. In July 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the new guidance's effective date by one year. The new guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. As part of the adoption, the Company reviewed all contracts that were not yet completed as of the date of initial application in determining the cumulative-effect impact related to the adoption of Topic 606. The cumulative-effect impact recorded to retained earnings resulted in an adjustment of approximately $0.8 million, which was primarily due to the acceleration of manufacturing revenue, offset by an adjustment to deferred revenue for license and milestone payments that will now be recognized over time. The following balance sheet accounts were impacted:

For additional information regarding how the Company is accounting for revenue under the updated guidance, refer to Note 3, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that enhances the reporting model for financial instruments by addressing certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments in this guidance include: requiring equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through the income statement; simplifying the impairment assessment of equity instruments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset; and clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for the Company in this year ending December 31, 2018, and the Company has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Numerous updates have been issued subsequent to the initial guidance that provide clarification on a number of specific issues. The main difference between previous GAAP and this guidance is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2019 and the Company continues to assess the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. At this time, the Company cannot conclude as to the total expected impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet as it currently has, among other operating leases, two operating leases for 67,000 and 175,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in two separate locations in Waltham, Massachusetts that expire in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and an operating lease for 14,600 square feet of corporate office space in Dublin, Ireland that expires in 2022. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 220,000 square feet of office and laboratory space to be constructed in Waltham, Massachusetts with a delivery date of January 2020.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this guidance replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify and improve accounting on transfers of assets between affiliated entities. The updated guidance eliminates the prohibition for all intra-entity asset transfers, except for inventory. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.9 million to retained earnings.

In July 2017, the FASB issued guidance that addresses narrow issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance becomes effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ALKERMES PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (Continued)

In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance that addresses the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance becomes effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued amendments that aim to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The amendments in this guidance modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting - Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments become effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The guidance also requires the entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. The guidance becomes effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under Topic 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract(s); (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract(s); and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

Collaboration Arrangements

The Company has entered into collaboration and/or license agreements with pharmaceutical companies including Janssen for INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION and INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA as well as RISPERDAL CONSTA; Acorda for AMPYRA/FAMPYRA; AstraZeneca for BYDUREON; and Biogen for BIIB098 (Diroximel Fumarate, formerly ALKS 8700). Substantially all of the products developed under these arrangements, except for BIIB098, are currently being marketed as approved products for which the Company receives payments for manufacturing services and/or royalties on net product sales.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded manufacturing and royalty revenues from its collaboration arrangements as follows:

11

ALKERMES PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (Continued)

Manufacturing revenues— The Company recognizes manufacturing revenues from the sale of products it manufactures, which is its one performance obligation under such arrangements, for resale by its licensees. Manufacturing revenues for the Company’s partnered products, with the exception of those from Janssen related to RISPERDAL CONSTA, are recognized over time as products move through the manufacturing process, using a standard cost-based model as a measure of progress, which represents a faithful depiction of the transfer of control of the goods. The Company recognizes manufacturing revenue from these products over time as it determined, in each instance, that it has a right to payment for performance completed to date if its customer were to terminate the manufacturing agreement for reasons other than the Company’s non-performance and the products have no alternative use. The Company invoices its licensees upon shipment with payment terms between 30 to 90 days. Prior to the adoption of Topic 606, the Company recorded manufacturing revenue from the sale of products it manufactures for resale by its partners after the Company had shipped such products and risk of loss had passed to the Company’s partner, assuming persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, the sales price was fixed or determinable and collectability was reasonably assured.

The Company is the exclusive manufacturer of RISPERDAL CONSTA for commercial sale under its manufacturing and supply agreement with Janssen. The Company determined that it is appropriate to record revenue under this agreement at the point in time when control of the product passes to Janssen, which is determined to be when the product has been fully manufactured, since Janssen does not control the product during the manufacturing process and, in the event Janssen terminates the manufacturing and supply agreement, it is uncertain whether, and at what amount, the Company would be reimbursed for performance completed to date for product not yet fully manufactured. The manufacturing process is considered fully complete once the finished goods have been approved for shipment by both the Company and Janssen.

The sales price for certain of the Company’s manufacturing revenues is based on the end-market sales price earned by its licensees. As end-market sales generally occur after the Company has recorded manufacturing revenue, the Company estimates the sales price for such products based on information supplied to it by the Company’s licensees, its historical transaction experience and other third-party data. Differences between actual manufacturing revenues and estimated manufacturing revenues are reconciled and adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which is generally within the same quarter. The difference between the Company’s actual and estimated manufacturing revenues has not been material.

Royalty revenues—The Company recognizes royalty revenues related to the sale of products by its licensees that incorporate the Company's technologies. Royalties, with the exception of those earned on sales of AMPYRA as set forth below, qualify for the sales-and-usage exemption under Topic 606 as (i) royalties are based strictly on the sales-and-usage by the licensee; and (ii) a license of IP is the sole or predominant item to which such royalties relate. Based on this exemption, these royalties are earned under the terms of a license agreement in the period the products are sold by the Company's partner and the Company has a present right to payment. Royalties on AMPYRA manufactured under our license and supply agreements with Acorda are incorporated into the standard cost-based model described in the manufacturing revenues section, above, as the terms of such agreements entitle the Company to royalty revenue as the product is being manufactured, which represents a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods, and not based on the actual end-market sales of the licensee. Certain of the Company's royalty revenues are recognized by the Company based on information supplied to the Company by its partners and require estimates to be made. Differences between actual royalty revenues and estimated royalty revenues are reconciled and adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which is generally within the same quarter. The difference between the Company’s actual and estimated royalty revenues has not been material.

Multiple Element Arrangements

When entering into multiple element arrangements, the Company identifies whether its performance obligations under the arrangement represent a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services. A series of distinct goods or services is required to be accounted for as a single performance obligation provided that (i) each distinct good or service in the series promised would meet the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time; and (ii) the same method would be used to measure the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct good or service in the series to the customer. If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The fair value of performance obligations under the arrangement may be derived using a “best estimate of selling price” if the Company does not sell the goods or services separately.

The Company recognizes revenue when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring an asset to a customer. An asset is transferred when or as the customer obtains control of that asset. Significant management judgment is required in determining the consideration to be earned under an arrangement and the period over which the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations under an arrangement. Steering committee services that are not inconsequential or perfunctory and that are determined to be performance obligations are combined with other research services or performance obligations required under an arrangement, if any, in determining the level of effort required in an arrangement and the period over which the Company expects to complete its aggregate performance obligations.

In November 2017, the Company granted Biogen, under a license and collaboration agreement, a worldwide, exclusive, sublicensable license to develop, manufacture and commercialize BIIB098 and other products covered by patents licensed to Biogen under the agreement. Upon entering into the agreement in November 2017, the Company received an up-front cash payment of $28.0 million. In June 2018, the Company received an additional cash payment of $50.0 million following Biogen’s review of preliminary gastrointestinal tolerability data from the ongoing clinical development program for BIIB098. The Company is also eligible to receive an additional payment of $150.0 million upon an approval by the FDA on or before December 31, 2021 of a 505(b)(2) new drug application (“NDA”) (or, in certain circumstances, a 505(b)(1) NDA) for BIIB098. The Company is also eligible to receive additional payments upon achievement of developmental milestones with respect to the first two products, other than BIIB098, covered by patents licensed to Biogen under the agreement. In addition, the Company will receive a mid-teens percentage royalty on worldwide net sales of BIIB098, subject to, under certain circumstances, minimum annual payments for the first five years following FDA approval of BIIB098. The Company will also receive royalties on net sales of products, other than BIIB098, covered by patents licensed to Biogen under the agreement, at tiered royalty rates calculated as percentages of net sales ranging from high-single digits to low double-digits. All royalties are payable on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the later of (i) the last-to-expire patent right covering the applicable product in the applicable country and (ii) a specified period of time from the first commercial sale of the applicable product in the applicable country. Royalties for all such products and the minimum annual payments for BIIB098 are subject to reductions as set forth in the agreement. Biogen paid a portion of the BIIB098 development costs the Company incurred in 2017 and, since January 1, 2018, Biogen is responsible for all BIIB098 development costs the Company incurs, subject to annual budget limitations. The Company has retained the right to manufacture clinical supplies and commercial supplies of BIIB098 and all other products covered by patents licensed to Biogen under the agreement, subject to Biogen’s right to manufacture or have manufactured commercial supplies as a back-up manufacturer and subject to good faith agreement by the parties on the terms of such manufacturing arrangements.

The Company evaluated the agreement under Topic 606 and determined that it had four initial performance obligations: (i) the grant of a distinct, right-to-use license of intellectual property to Biogen; (ii) future development services; (iii) clinical supply; and (iv) participation on a joint steering committee with Biogen. The Company’s participation on the joint steering committee was considered to be perfunctory and thus not recognized as a performance obligation. The performance obligations, aside from the participation in the joint steering committee which was considered to be perfunctory, were determined to be separate performance obligations as the license is separately identifiable from the development services and clinical supply, and the development services are not expected to significantly modify or customize the IP.

The Company allocated the arrangement consideration to each performance obligation using the relative selling price method based on its best estimate of selling price for the license and other deliverables. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the standalone selling price of the license in order to allocate the consideration to the performance obligations. To estimate the standalone selling price of the license, the Company assessed the likelihood

13

ALKERMES PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (Continued)

of the FDA’s approval of BIIB098 and estimated the expected future cash flows assuming FDA approval and the maintenance of the IP protecting BIIB098. The Company then discounted these cash flows using a discount rate of 8.0%, which it believes captures a market participant’s view of the risk associated with the expected cash flows. The best estimate of selling price of the development services and clinical supply were determined through third-party evidence. The Company believes that a change in the assumptions used to determine its best estimate of selling price for the license most likely would not have a significant effect on the allocation of consideration transferred.

As the license was delivered to Biogen, under Topic 606, the Company allocated $27.0 million to the delivery of the license, $0.9 million to future development services and $0.1 million to clinical supply. The amounts allocated to the development services and clinical supply will be recognized over the course of the development work and as clinical supply is delivered to Biogen, which is expected to continue through 2019.

The Company determined that the future milestones it is entitled to receive, including the $150.0 million payment upon approval by the FDA on or before December 31, 2021 of a 505(b)(2) NDA (or, in certain circumstances, a 505(b)(1) NDA) for BIIB098, and sales-based royalties, are variable consideration. The Company is using the most likely amount method for estimating the variable consideration to be received related to the milestones under this arrangement. Given the challenges inherent in developing and obtaining approval for pharmaceutical and biologic products, there was substantial uncertainty as to whether these milestones would be achieved at the time the license and collaboration agreement was entered into. Accordingly, the Company has not included these milestones in the transaction price as it is not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The royalties are subject to the sales-based exception and will be recorded when the subsequent sale occurs.

In June 2018, the Company recognized $48.3 million in license revenue related to the license and collaboration agreement with Biogen for BIIB098, which was triggered by Biogen’s decision to pay the $50.0 million option payment following Biogen’s review of preliminary gastrointestinal tolerability data from the ongoing clinical development program for BIIB098, including certain data from the long-term safety clinical trial and part A of the elective, randomized, head-to-head phase 3 gastrointestinal tolerability clinical trial comparing BIIB098 and dimethyl fumarate. The Company previously determined that this $50.0 million milestone payment was variable consideration, as described above, and was not included in the initial transaction price as it was not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur. Upon receipt of the $50.0 million payment, the constraint preventing revenue recognition from previously occurring was removed and the payment was included in the transaction price and allocated to the performance obligations, as previously described. The Company recognized the transaction price allocated to the license upon receipt of the $50.0 million payment as the license had already been delivered to Biogen. The remaining $1.7 million of the $50.0 million payment was allocated to future development services and clinical supply, and, as of September 30, 2018, an additional $0.9 million of the $1.7 million was recognized and accounted for as R&D revenue.

Research and development revenue—R&D revenue consists of funding that compensates the Company for formulation, pre‑clinical and clinical testing under R&D arrangements with its partners. The Company generally bills its partners under R&D arrangements using a full‑time equivalent (“FTE”) or hourly rate, plus direct external costs, if any. Revenue is recognized as the obligations under the R&D arrangements are performed. The research and development revenue recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily related to revenue earned under the Company’s license and collaboration agreement with Biogen for BIIB098.

Product Sales, Net

The Company’s product sales, net consist of sales of VIVITROL and ARISTADA in the U.S. primarily to wholesalers, specialty distributors and pharmacies. Product sales, net are recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, which is when the product has been received by the customer.

Revenues from product sales are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered within contracts with the Company’s customers, health care providers or payers. The Company’s process for estimating reserves established for these variable consideration components does not differ materially from historical practices. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results vary, the Company adjusts these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment. The following are the Company’s significant categories of sales discounts and allowances:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded product sales, net, as follows:

Receivables, Net—Receivables, net, include amounts billed and currently unconditionally due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Contract Assets—Contract assets include unbilled amounts resulting from sales under certain of the Company’s manufacturing contracts where revenue is recognized over time. The products included in the contract assets table below complete the manufacturing process in ten days to eight weeks. As such, the Company availed itself of the practical expedient to not disclose the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations as the only performance obligation is completing the manufacturing of such products, and the time remaining to manufacture the products is generally less than eight weeks. Contract assets are classified as current.

Contract assets consisted of the following:

Contract Liabilities—The Company’s contract liabilities consist of contractual obligations related to deferred revenue.

The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. As such, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of shareholders’ equity at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the old revenue recognition guidance (“Topic 605”). The quantitative impacts of the changes are set out below for each of the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the current reporting period.

The proceeds from the sales and maturities of marketable securities, which were identified using the specific identification method, and were primarily reinvested, were as follows:

The Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2018 had contractual maturities in the following periods:

At September 30, 2018, the Company believed that the unrealized losses on its available-for-sale investments were temporary. The investments with unrealized losses consisted primarily of corporate debt securities. In making the determination that the decline in fair value of these securities was temporary, the Company considered various factors, including, but not limited to: the length of time each security was in an unrealized loss position; the extent to which fair value was less than cost; financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers; the Company’s intent not to sell these securities; and the assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

In May 2014, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it is committed to provide up to €7.4 million to a partnership, Fountain Healthcare Partners II, L.P. of Ireland (“Fountain”), which was created to carry on the business of investing exclusively in companies and businesses engaged in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s total contribution in Fountain was equal to €4.9 million. The Company’s commitment represents approximately 7% of the partnership’s total funding. The Company is accounting for its investment in Fountain under the equity method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded an increase in its investment in Fountain of less than $0.1 million and a decrease in its investment in Fountain of $0.4 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded an increase in its investment in Fountain of less than $0.1 million and a decrease of $0.6 million, respectively. The changes recorded represent the Company’s proportional share of Fountain’s net (losses) gains for these periods. The Company’s $4.2 million and $3.7 million net investment in Fountain at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, was included within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Company transfers its financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis, between the fair value hierarchies at the end of each reporting period.

There were no transfers of any securities between the fair value hierarchies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The following table is a rollforward of the fair value of the Company’s assets whose fair values were determined using Level 3 inputs at September 30, 2018:

The Company’s investments in U.S. government and agency debt securities, international government agency debt securities and corporate debt securities classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy were initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, utilizing market-observable data. The market-observable data included reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events. The Company validated the prices developed using the market-observable data by obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain instances and confirming that the relevant markets are active.

The Company’s contingent consideration relates to the divestiture of its Gainesville, GA facility (the “Gainesville Transaction”), as summarized in Note 15, Divestiture, in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company’s Annual Report. At September 30, 2018, the Company determined the value of the contingent consideration using the following valuation approaches:

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company determined that the value of the contingent consideration was $67.5 million and $84.8 million, respectively. The Company recorded an increase of $4.2 million and a decrease of $17.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and an increase of $13.6 million and $15.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, within “Change in the fair value of contingent consideration” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As part of the Gainesville Transaction, the Company also received warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of Recro common stock at a per share exercise price of $19.46. The Company used a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions to determine the fair value of these warrants at September 30, 2018:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company determined that the fair value of the warrants, recorded within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, increased by $0.4 million and decreased by $0.6 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, increased by $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of the warrants was recorded within “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consisted of the following:

7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and intangible assets consisted of the following:

Based on the Company’s most recent analysis, amortization of intangible assets included within its condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018 is expected to be approximately $65.0 million, $55.0 million, $50.0 million, $40.0 million and $35.0 million in the years ending December 31, 2018 through 2022, respectively. Although the Company believes such available information and assumptions are reasonable, given the inherent risks and uncertainties underlying its expectations regarding such future revenues, there is the potential for the Company’s actual results to vary significantly from such expectations. If revenues are projected to change, the related amortization of the intangible assets will change in proportion to the change in revenues.

9. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following:

10. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

In March 2018, the Company amended and refinanced its existing term loan, referred to as Term Loan B-1 (as so amended and refinanced, the “2023 Term Loans”), in order to, among other things, extend the due date of the loan from September 25, 2021 to March 26, 2023, reduce the interest payable from LIBOR plus 2.75% with a LIBOR floor of 0.75% to LIBOR plus 2.25% with no LIBOR floor and increase covenant flexibility (the “Refinancing”).

The Refinancing involved multiple lenders who were considered members of a loan syndicate. In determining whether the Refinancing was to be accounted for as a debt extinguishment or a debt modification, the Company considered whether creditors remained the same or changed and whether the changes in debt terms were substantial. A change in the debt terms was considered to be substantial if the present value of the remaining cash flows under the new terms of the 2023 Term Loans was at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the former Term Loan B-1 (commonly referred to as the “10% Test”). The Company performed a separate 10% Test for each individual creditor participating in the loan syndication. With the exception of one lender, who owned 1% of the total outstanding principal amount of Term Loan B-1 at the date of the Refinancing and was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, the Refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification.

The Refinancing resulted in a $2.3 million charge in the three months ended March 31, 2018, which was included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

11. RESTRUCTURING

On January 25, 2018, the Company’s management approved a restructuring plan at its Athlone, Ireland manufacturing facility designed to streamline future operational performance. The restructuring plan included a reduction in headcount of 24 employees. In connection with this restructuring plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $3.2 million within cost of goods manufactured and sold and $0.4 million within R&D expense, which consisted of severance and outplacement services. At June 30, 2018, the Company had made all its severance and outplacement services payments related to this restructuring.
