Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains and incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, these statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations and contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, or state trends and known uncertainties or other forward-looking information. Forward‑looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) may include, without limitation, statements regarding:

•

our expectations regarding our financial performance, including revenues, expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures and income taxes;

•

our expectations regarding our products, including expectations related to product development; regulatory filings, approvals and timelines; therapeutic and commercial value, scope and potential; and the costs and expenses related to such activities and expectations;

•

our expectations regarding the initiation, timing and results of clinical trials of our products;

•

our expectations regarding the competitive, payer, legislative, regulatory and policy landscape, and changes therein, related to our products, including competition from generic forms of our products or competitive products and development programs; barriers to access or coverage of our products and potential changes in reimbursement of our products; and legislation, regulations, executive orders, guidance or other measures that may impact pricing and reimbursement of, and access to, our products;

•

our expectations regarding the financial impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations and valuations;

•

our expectations regarding future amortization of intangible assets;

•

our expectations regarding collaborations, licensing arrangements and other significant agreements with third parties relating to our products and our development programs;

•

our expectations regarding the impact of new legislation, rules and regulations and the adoption of new accounting pronouncements;

•

our expectations regarding near‑term changes in the nature of our market risk exposures or in our management’s objectives and strategies with respect to managing such exposures;

•

our expectations regarding our ability to comply with restrictive covenants of our indebtedness and our ability to fund our debt service obligations;

•

our expectations regarding future capital requirements and expenditures for our operations and our ability to finance such capital requirements and expenditures;

•

our expectations regarding the timing, outcome and impact of administrative, regulatory, legal and other proceedings related to our products and intellectual property (“IP”), including our patents;

•

our expectations regarding the impact of the ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business and operations; and

•

other expectations discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Actual results might differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements because these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties. In light of these risks, assumptions and uncertainties, the forward-looking expectations discussed in this Form 10-Q might not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the matters addressed in this Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we do not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For information about the risks, assumptions and uncertainties of our business, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed

with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 16, 2022, as amended by our Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on April 29, 2022 (our “Annual Report”).

This Form 10-Q may include data that we obtained from industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that any industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies from which data is included in this Form 10-Q are reliable, we have not independently verified any such data. This Form 10-Q may also include data based on our own internal estimates and research. Our internal estimates and research have not been verified by any independent source and are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report. These and other factors could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this Form 10-Q.

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 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. 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 any full fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying 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 Company’s Annual Report. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification

The Company reclassified certain prior year amounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that Company management 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, but not limited to, those related to revenue from contracts with its customers and related allowances, 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 conditions or using different assumptions.

Segment Information

The Company operates as one business segment, which is the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing medicines designed to address unmet medical needs of patients in major therapeutic areas. The Company’s chief decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer and chairman of its board of directors, reviews the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a single operating unit.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns and/or shutdowns in affected areas. Ireland, all U.S. states, and many local jurisdictions and countries around the world have, at times during the pandemic, issued and implemented quarantines, vaccine and masking mandates, restrictive executive orders and other similar government orders, restrictions, and recommendations for their residents to help control the spread of COVID-19, and may continue to do so while the pandemic persists. Such orders, mandates, restrictions and/or recommendations, and/or the perception that additional orders, mandates, restrictions or recommendations could occur, have, at times during the pandemic, resulted in widespread interruptions and closures of businesses, including healthcare systems that serve people living with addiction and serious mental illness, work stoppages, slowdowns and/or delays, remote work policies and travel restrictions, among other effects.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and the Company expects may continue to cause, varying degrees of disruption to its employees and its business operations. While the Company has continued to operate its manufacturing facilities and supply its medicines throughout the pandemic, it has at times during the pandemic experienced labor or supply chain disruptions at its manufacturing facilities, and may continue to experience such disruptions while the pandemic persists. In addition, while the Company has continued to conduct R&D activities, including its ongoing clinical trials, the COVID-19 pandemic has at times impacted the timelines of certain of its early-stage discovery efforts and clinical trials, and may continue to impact such timelines while the pandemic persists. The Company works with its internal teams, its clinical investigators, R&D vendors and critical supply chain vendors to continually assess, and mitigate, the potential impact of COVID-19 on its manufacturing operations and R&D activities.

A number of the marketed products from which the Company derives revenue, including manufacturing and royalty revenue, are injectable medications administered by healthcare professionals. Given developments that have transpired to date, and may continue to transpire, in response to the pandemic, including business closures, travel restrictions, quarantine, testing and/or vaccine mandates and other protocols, labor shortages, and other restrictive measures, commercial sales of these marketed products have been adversely impacted to varying degrees during the pandemic and may continue to be adversely impacted while the pandemic persists.

In addition, the Company relies upon third parties for many aspects of its business, including the provision of goods and services related to the manufacture of its clinical products and its and its partners’ marketed products, the conduct of its clinical trials, and the sale of its proprietary marketed products and the marketed products of its licensees from which the Company receives manufacturing and royalty revenue. Any prolonged material disruption to the third parties on which the Company relies could negatively impact the Company’s ability to conduct business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Due to numerous uncertainties surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the actual impact of the pandemic on the Company’s financial condition and operating results may differ from its current projections. These uncertainties include, among other things, the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic and the manner in which it continues to evolve, including the emergence, prevalence and severity of new or existing COVID-19 variants, and future developments in response thereto, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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 accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In November 2021, the Company received notice of partial termination of its license agreement with Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson Corporation (“Janssen Pharmaceutica”) in respect of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA, pursuant to which Janssen Pharmaceutica received access and rights to Alkermes’ small particle pharmaceutical compound technology, known as NanoCrystal Technology. When the partial termination became effective in February 2022, Janssen Pharmaceutica ceased paying royalties related to sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA in the U.S. and the Company stopped recognizing royalty revenue related to net sales of these products in the U.S. In April 2022, the Company commenced binding arbitration proceedings related to, among other things, Janssen Pharmaceutica’s partial termination of the license agreement and Janssen Pharmaceutica’s royalty and other obligations under the agreement. Refer to Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies within the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the arbitration proceedings with Janssen Pharmaceutica.

At June 30, 2022, the Company reviewed its investment portfolio to assess whether the unrealized losses on its available-for-sale investments were temporary. Investments with unrealized losses consisted primarily of corporate debt securities and debt securities issued and backed by U.S. agencies and the U.S. government. At June 30, 2022, the aggregate estimated fair value of investments in an unrealized loss position was $492.1 million. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery, which may be at maturity. In making the determination whether the decline in fair value of these securities was temporary, the Company evaluated whether it intended to sell the security and whether it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company determined there was an other-than-temporary loss of $0.9 million that was recorded within “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

In January 2022, the Company purchased a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $0.5 million from Synchronicity Pharma, Inc. (“Synchronicity”), a related party, that matures on the earlier of September 30, 2022, the closing of a preferred equity financing, the closing of a merger, business combination or sale of stock resulting in

Synchronicity’s stockholders owning less than 50% of the surviving entity, or an event of default. The convertible promissory note was classified as an available-for-sale corporate debt instrument.

In May 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to invest in 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 June 30, 2022, the Company’s total contribution in Fountain was equal to €8.0 million, and its commitment represented approximately 7% of the partnership’s total funding. The Company is accounting for its investment in Fountain under the equity method.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, one of the companies within the Fountain portfolio was acquired by a third party. The Company’s proportional share of the proceeds from this transaction was $1.1 million, of which $1.0 million was received during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the remaining $0.1 million is being held in escrow until May 2023. The transaction was accounted for under the cumulative earnings approach whereby the return on investment of $0.6 million was recorded as a gain within “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and the return of investment of $0.5 million was recorded as a reduction in the Company’s net investment in Fountain. The Company’s net investment in Fountain was $6.7 million and $6.1 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was included within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an increase of $1.1 million in its investment in Fountain, which represented the Company’s proportional share of Fountain’s net gains.

Realized gains and losses on the sales and maturities of investments, which were identified using the specific identification method, were as follows:

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 levels during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The following table is a rollforward of the fair value of the Company’s investments with fair values that were determined using Level 3 inputs at June 30, 2022:

(In thousands)	Fair Value

Royalty payments due to the Company related to contingent consideration		(29	)
Balance, June 30, 2022	$	4,279

The Company’s investments in U.S. government and agency debt securities, non-U.S. 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.

In April 2015, the Company sold its Gainesville, GA manufacturing facility, the related manufacturing and royalty revenue associated with certain products manufactured at the facility, and the rights to intravenous/intramuscular (“IV/IM”) and parenteral forms of Meloxicam to Recro Pharma, Inc. (“Recro”) and Recro Gainesville LLC (such transaction, the “Gainesville Transaction”). The Gainesville Transaction included in the purchase price contingent consideration tied to low double digit royalties on net sales of the IV/IM and parenteral forms of Meloxicam and any other product with the same active ingredient as Meloxicam IV/IM that is discovered or identified using certain of the Company’s IP to which Recro was provided a right of use, through license or transfer, pursuant to the Gainesville Transaction (such products, the “Meloxicam Products”), and milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones related to the Meloxicam Products.

In November 2019, Recro spun out its acute care segment to Baudax Bio, Inc. (“Baudax”), a publicly-traded pharmaceutical company. As part of this transaction, Recro’s obligations to pay certain contingent consideration from the Gainesville Transaction were assigned and/or transferred to Baudax.

At June 30, 2022, the Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be received as follows:

•

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had received $7.8 million in milestone payments and was due to receive an additional $38.6 million related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for ANJESO. This amount is due in six equal, annual installments from March 2022 through March 2027. At June 30, 2022, Baudax had paid the Company $1.0 million of the $6.4 million payment that was due in March 2022;

•

The Company is entitled to receive future royalties on net sales of Meloxicam Products; and

ALKERMES PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

•

The Company is entitled to receive payments of up to $80.0 million related to the achievement of certain sales milestones on future sales of the Meloxicam Products. At June 30, 2022, the Company did not believe it was probable that any of the sales milestones would be achieved.

In Baudax’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022, Baudax included disclosures regarding its ability to continue as a going concern and its March 2022 reduction in workforce by approximately 80%, which was designed to reduce its operational expenses and conserve its cash resources. In light of Baudax’s disclosures regarding its ability to continue as a going concern and the fact that, as of June 30, 2022, Baudax had paid $1.0 million of the $6.4 million that was due in March 2022, the Company has applied a 100% likelihood that Baudax would default on its obligations and applied a recovery rate of 9% based on an analysis performed by Standard and Poor’s regarding post-default recoveries. However, for avoidance of doubt, the Company has not waived its right to receive any portion of the payments owing by Baudax. For discussion on the calculation of the fair value of the contingent consideration at December 31, 2021, refer to Note 5, Fair Value within the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company determined that the fair value of the contingent consideration was $3.8 million and $23.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $3.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of the fair value of the contingent consideration was included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and none and $16.6 million, respectively, of the fair value of the contingent consideration was included within “Other assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded within “Change in the fair value of contingent consideration” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed 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.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt under its amended and restated credit agreement (such debt, the “2026 Term Loans”), which was based on quoted market price indications (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) and which may not be representative of actual values that could have been, or will be, realized in the future, was $277.7 million and $285.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

		June 30, 2022
(In thousands)	Weighted Amortizable Life (Years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Goodwill		$	92,873	$	—		$	92,873

Total		$	583,750	$	(527,739	)	$	56,011

Based on the Company’s most recent analysis, amortization of intangible assets included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022 is expected to be approximately $35.0 million, $35.0 million and $1.0 million in the years ending December 31, 2022 through 2024, respectively. Although the Company believes that such analysis, and the available information and assumptions underlying such analysis, 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. LEASES

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense was capitalized and recorded as “Inventory” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per ordinary share is calculated based upon net (loss) income available to holders of ordinary shares divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. For the calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per ordinary share, the Company adjusts the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effect of outstanding ordinary share equivalents such as stock options and restricted stock unit awards.

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended

The following outstanding ordinary share equivalents were not included in the net (loss) earnings per ordinary share calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Total		17,499		16,061		18,928		18,454

14. INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In determining future taxable income, the Company is responsible for assumptions that it utilizes including the amount of Irish and non-Irish pre‑tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company uses to manage the underlying business.

The Company recorded income tax benefits of $3.1 million and $12.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which were primarily due to a change to Section 174 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (as amended, the “TCJA”), which became effective on January 1, 2022. Under the TCJA, the Company is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize, R&D expenses over five years for research activities conducted in the U.S. and over fifteen years for research activities conducted outside of the U.S. The capitalization of R&D expenses during these periods resulted in an increase to the Company’s U.S. taxable income and foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), resulting in a significant increase in the Company’s FDII deduction.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company would accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to claims and litigation, accruals are based on the Company’s best estimates, utilizing all available information. On a periodic basis, as additional information becomes available, or based on specific events such as the outcome of litigation or settlement of claims, the Company may reassess the potential liability related to these matters and may revise these estimates, which could result in material adverse adjustments to the Company’s operating results. At June 30, 2022, there were no potential material losses from claims, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceedings that the Company determined were probable of occurring.

Janssen Arbitration Proceedings

In April 2022, Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited commenced binding arbitration proceedings to settle, among other things, whether, notwithstanding Janssen Pharmaceutica’s partial termination of two license agreements with the Company, it has a continuing obligation to pay royalties on sales in the U.S. of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA, INVEGA HAFYERA and CABENUVA, products developed under or enabled by these license agreements. The arbitration is to be conducted pursuant to the Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR) Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration. The request for arbitration seeks, among other remedies, a declaration that Janssen Pharmaceutica is in breach of the license agreements and a resumption of royalty payments for sales of the relevant products in the U.S.

INVEGA SUSTENNA ANDA Litigation

Janssen Pharmaceutica and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. initiated patent infringement lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “NJ District Court”) in January 2018 against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Teva”) and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries, Ltd. (“Teva PI”) (such lawsuit, the “Teva Lawsuit”), in August 2019 against Mylan Laboratories Limited (“Mylan Labs”) and other Mylan entities (the “Mylan Lawsuit”) and in December 2019 against Pharmascience, Inc. (“Pharmascience”), Mallinckrodt plc, and SpecGX LLC (the “Pharmascience Lawsuit”), and in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in December 2021 against Tolmar Holding, Inc., Tolmar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Tolmar Therapeutics, Inc., and Tolmar, Inc. (“Tolmar” and such lawsuit, the “Tolmar Lawsuit”), following the respective filings by each of Teva, Mylan Labs, Pharmascience and Tolmar of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking approval from the FDA to market a generic version of INVEGA SUSTENNA before the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 9,439,906. In October 2021, the NJ District Court entered a judgment in favor of the Janssen entities in the Teva Lawsuit. In December 2021, the NJ District Court entered a judgment in favor of the Janssen entities in the Mylan Lawsuit, based on the parties’ prior stipulation to be bound by the judgment in the Teva Lawsuit. The Teva entities and Mylan Labs each filed notices of appeal of their respective judgments with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which were consolidated in January 2022. A trial was scheduled in the Tolmar Lawsuit for October 2023. The Pharmascience Lawsuit remains pending. The Company is not a party to any of these proceedings.

INVEGA TRINZA ANDA Litigation

In September 2020, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Janssen Research & Development, LLC, initiated a patent infringement lawsuit in the NJ District Court against Mylan Labs, Mylan, and Mylan Institutional LLC following the filing by Mylan Labs of an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market a generic version of INVEGA TRINZA before the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 10,143,693. Requested judicial remedies include recovery of litigation costs and injunctive relief. A trial has been scheduled for October 2022. The Company is not a party to this proceeding.

VIVITROL ANDA Litigation

In September 2020, Alkermes, Inc. and Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the NJ District Court against Teva and Teva PI following the filing by Teva of an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to

engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of a generic version of VIVITROL (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension) before the expiration of the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 7,919,499. Teva filed its answer in November 2020, which included counterclaims against the Company. The Company filed its reply to Teva’s counterclaims in December 2020. The Company intends to vigorously defend its IP. The filing of the lawsuit triggered a stay of FDA approval of the ANDA for up to 30 months in accordance with the U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the Hatch-Waxman Act).

Government Matters

The Company has received a subpoena and civil investigative demands from U.S. state and federal governmental authorities for documents related to VIVITROL. The Company is cooperating with the investigations.

Product Liability and Other Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation and other legal proceedings incidental to its normal business activities, including product liability cases alleging that the FDA-approved VIVITROL labeling was inadequate and caused the users of the product to suffer from opioid overdose and death. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters. While the outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of any of these existing proceedings would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page 5 in this Form 10-Q, and “Part II, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the audited financial statements and notes thereto accompanying our Annual Report.

Executive Summary

Net loss was $(30.1) million and $(66.0) million or $(0.18) and $(0.40) per ordinary share—basic and diluted, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to a net income of $2.4 million and a net loss of $(20.1) million or $0.01 and $(0.13) per ordinary share—basic and diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

The increases in net loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to decreases of $57.0 million and $71.6 million, respectively, in manufacturing and royalty revenues, increases of $11.4 million and $48.6 million, respectively, in operating expenses, and decreases of $2.4 million and $22.7 million, respectively, in the fair value of our contingent consideration related to increased risk of non-payment, partially offset by increases of $30.0 million and $71.3 million, respectively, in product sales, net. The increases in operating expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to increases of $5.2 million and $19.4 million, respectively, in cost of goods manufactured and sold and increases of $11.2 million and $31.1 million, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expense.

These items are discussed in greater detail later in the “Results of Operations” section in this “Part I, Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-Q.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and we expect may continue to cause, varying degrees of disruption to our employees and our business operations. While we have continued to operate our manufacturing facilities and supply our medicines throughout the pandemic, we have, at times during the pandemic experienced labor or supply chain disruptions at our manufacturing facilities, and may continue to experience such disruptions while the pandemic persists. In addition, while we have continued to conduct R&D activities, including our ongoing clinical trials, the COVID-19 pandemic has at times impacted the timelines of certain of our early-stage discovery efforts and clinical trials, and may continue to impact such timelines while the pandemic persists. We work with our internal teams, our clinical investigators, R&D vendors and critical supply chain vendors to continually assess, and mitigate, the potential impact of COVID-19 on our manufacturing operations and R&D activities.

A number of the marketed products from which we derive revenue, including manufacturing and royalty revenue, are injectable medications administered by healthcare professionals. Given developments that have transpired to date, and may continue to transpire, in response to the pandemic, including business closures, travel restrictions, quarantine, testing and/or vaccine mandates and other protocols, labor shortages and other restrictive measures, commercial sales of these marketed products have been adversely impacted to varying degrees during the pandemic and may continue to be adversely impacted while the pandemic persists.

In addition, we rely upon third parties for many aspects of our business, including the provision of goods and services related to the manufacture of our clinical products and our and our partners’ marketed products, the conduct of our clinical trials, and the sale of our proprietary marketed products and the marketed products of our licensees from which we receive manufacturing and royalty revenue. Any prolonged material disruption to the third parties on which we rely could negatively impact our ability to conduct business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Due to numerous uncertainties surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the actual impact of the pandemic on our financial condition and operating results may differ from our current projections. These uncertainties include, among other things, the ultimate severity and duration of the pandemic and the manner in which it continues to evolve, including the emergence, prevalence and severity of new or existing COVID-19 variants, and future developments in response thereto, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this Form 10-Q. For additional information about risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our business, our financial condition or our results of operations, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and specifically the section entitled “—Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other similar outbreaks of contagious diseases.”

Proprietary Products

We have developed and now commercialize products designed to help address the unmet needs of people living with opioid dependence, alcohol dependence, schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. See the “Patents and Proprietary Rights” section in “Part I, Item 1—Business” in our Annual Report for information with respect to the IP protection for our proprietary products.

ARISTADA

ARISTADA (aripiprazole lauroxil) is an extended-release intramuscular injectable suspension approved in the U.S. for the treatment of schizophrenia. ARISTADA utilizes our proprietary LinkeRx technology. ARISTADA is a prodrug; once in the body, ARISTADA is likely converted by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis to N-hydroxymethyl aripiprazole, which is then hydrolyzed to aripiprazole. ARISTADA is available in four dose strengths with once-monthly dosing options (441 mg, 662 mg and 882 mg), a six-week dosing option (882 mg) and a two-month dosing option (1064 mg). ARISTADA is packaged in a ready-to-use, pre-filled syringe product format. We exclusively manufacture and commercialize ARISTADA in the U.S.

ARISTADA INITIO

ARISTADA INITIO (aripiprazole lauroxil) leverages our proprietary LinkeRx and NanoCrystal technologies and provides an extended-release formulation of aripiprazole lauroxil in a smaller particle size compared to ARISTADA, thereby enabling faster dissolution and more rapid achievement of relevant levels of aripiprazole in the body. ARISTADA INITIO, combined with a single 30 mg dose of oral aripiprazole, is indicated for the initiation of ARISTADA when used for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. The first ARISTADA dose may be administered on the same day as the ARISTADA INITIO regimen or up to 10 days thereafter. We exclusively manufacture and commercialize ARISTADA INITIO in the U.S.

LYBALVI

LYBALVI (olanzapine and samidorphan) is a once-daily, oral atypical antipsychotic drug approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia and for the treatment of adults with bipolar I disorder, as a maintenance monotherapy or for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes, as monotherapy or an adjunct to lithium or valproate. LYBALVI is composed of olanzapine, an established antipsychotic agent, co-formulated with samidorphan, a new chemical entity, in a single bilayer tablet. LYBALVI was launched commercially in October 2021 and is available in fixed dosage strengths composed of 10 mg of samidorphan and 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg or 20 mg of olanzapine. We exclusively manufacture and commercialize LYBALVI in the U.S.

In June 2022, U.S. Patent No. 11,351,166 relating to LYBALVI was granted. The patent has claims to methods of treating schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and expires in 2031.

VIVITROL

VIVITROL (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension) is a once-monthly, non-narcotic, injectable medication approved in the U.S., Russia and certain countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States for the treatment of alcohol dependence and for the prevention of relapse to opioid dependence, following opioid detoxification. VIVITROL uses our polymer-based microsphere injectable extended-release technology to deliver and maintain therapeutic medication levels in the body through one intramuscular injection every four weeks. We exclusively manufacture and commercialize VIVITROL in the U.S.

For a discussion of legal proceedings related to VIVITROL, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q, and for information about risks relating to such legal proceedings, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and specifically the sections entitled “—Patent and other IP protection for our products is key to our business and our competitive position but is uncertain,” “—Uncertainty over IP in the biopharmaceutical industry has been the source of litigation, which is inherently costly and unpredictable, could significantly delay or prevent approval or negatively impact commercialization of our products, and could adversely affect our business” and “—Litigation or arbitration filed against Alkermes, including securities litigation, or actions (such as citizens petitions) filed against regulatory agencies in respect of our products, may result in financial losses, harm our reputation, divert management resources, negatively impact the approval of our products, or otherwise negatively impact our business.”

Licensed Products and Products Using Our Proprietary Technologies

We have licensed products to third parties for commercialization and have licensed our proprietary technologies to third parties to enable them to develop, commercialize and/or manufacture products. See the “Proprietary Technology Platforms” and “Patents and Proprietary Rights” sections in “Part I, Item 1—Business” in our Annual Report for information with respect to our proprietary technologies and the IP protection for these products.

Products Using Our Proprietary Technologies

INVEGA SUSTENNA/XEPLION, INVEGA TRINZA/TREVICTA and INVEGA HAFYERA/BYANNLI

In November 2021, we received notice of partial termination of our license agreement with Janssen in respect of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA pursuant to which Janssen received access and rights to Alkermes’ small particle pharmaceutical compound technology, known as NanoCrystal Technology. This partial termination became effective in February 2022. In April 2022, we commenced binding arbitration proceedings related to, among other things, Janssen’s partial termination of this license agreement and Janssen’s royalty and other obligations under the agreement. For additional information regarding the arbitration proceedings with Janssen, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q and for information about risks relating to this notice of partial termination and our collaborative arrangements more broadly, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and specifically that section entitled “We rely heavily on our licensees in the commercialization and continued development of products from which we receive revenue and, if our licensees are not effective, or if disputes arise in respect of our contractual arrangements, our revenues could be materially adversely affected.”

The long-acting INVEGA products are long-acting atypical antipsychotics owned and commercialized worldwide by Janssen. We believe that these products were developed using, and incorporate, our technologies.

Nemvaleukin alfa

Nemvaleukin alfa (“nemvaleukin”) is an investigational, novel, engineered fusion protein comprised of modified interleukin-2 (“IL-2”) and the high affinity IL-2 alpha receptor chain, designed to preferentially expand tumor-killing immune cells while avoiding the activation of immunosuppressive cells by selectively binding to the intermediate-affinity IL-2 receptor complex. The selectivity of nemvaleukin is designed to leverage the proven anti-tumor effects of existing IL-2 therapy while mitigating certain limitations.

ARTISTRY is our clinical development program evaluating nemvaleukin as a potential immunotherapy for cancer. The ARTISTRY program is comprised of multiple clinical trials evaluating intravenous (“IV”) and subcutaneous (“SC”) dosing of nemvaleukin, both as a monotherapy and in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors. ARTISTRY-1 (evaluating IV nemvaleukin) and ARTISTRY-2 (evaluating SC nemvaleukin) are ongoing phase 1/2 studies evaluating the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of nemvaleukin in patients with refractory advanced solid tumors, in both monotherapy and combination settings. ARTISTRY-3 is an ongoing phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of less frequent dosing of IV nemvaleukin and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of IV nemvaleukin in the tumor microenvironment as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in a variety of advanced solid tumors. ARTISTRY-6 is an ongoing phase 2 study evaluating the anti-tumor activity, safety and tolerability of IV nemvaleukin monotherapy in patients with mucosal melanoma and SC nemvaleukin monotherapy in patients with advanced cutaneous melanoma. ARTISTRY-7 is an ongoing phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of IV nemvaleukin as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab compared to investigator’s choice chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

In March 2021 and August 2021, we announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track designation, respectively, to nemvaleukin for the treatment of mucosal melanoma. In October 2021, we announced that the FDA granted Fast Track designation to nemvaleukin in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

The following table compares product sales, net revenues earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(In millions)	2022		2021		Change		2022		2021		Change
VIVITROL	$	96.1	$	88.4	$	7.7	$	181.0	$	163.0	$	18.0

Product sales, net	$	190.8	$	160.8	$	30.0	$	362.1	$	290.8	$	71.3

VIVITROL product sales, gross, increased by 7% and 8% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to increases of 1% and 4%, respectively, in the number of VIVITROL units sold and a 6% increase in the selling price of VIVITROL that went into effect in April 2022. ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO product sales, gross, increased by 2% and 14% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to a 3% increase in the selling price of ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO that went into effect in April 2022. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was an 11% increase, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, in the number of ARISTADA units sold.

The decreases in Medicaid rebates as a percentage of sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to actual Medicaid utilization rates being lower than original estimates as such rates began to normalize from pandemic levels. The increases in chargebacks as a percentage of sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to the increases in selling price of VIVITROL and ARISTADA, as described above, and increased utilization of certain federal government programs related to VIVITROL.

Manufacturing and Royalty Revenues

The following table compares manufacturing and royalty revenues earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended
	June 30,							June 30,
(In millions)	2022		2021		Change			2022		2021		Change
Manufacturing and royalty revenues:
Long-acting INVEGA products	$	26.6	$	81.0	$	(54.4	)	$	63.7	$	142.6	$	(78.9	)
VUMERITY		26.2		20.4		5.8			56.8		33.8		23.0
RISPERDAL CONSTA		10.4		14.4		(4.0	)		27.8		28.6		(0.8	)
Other		22.1		26.5		(4.4	)		42.2		57.1		(14.9	)
Manufacturing and royalty revenues	$	85.3	$	142.3	$	(57.0	)	$	190.5	$	262.1	$	(71.6	)

Our agreements with Janssen related to the long-acting INVEGA products provide for tiered royalty payments, which consist of a patent royalty and a know-how royalty, both of which are determined on a country-by-country basis. The patent royalty, which equals 1.5% of net sales, is payable in each country until the expiration of the last of the patents with valid claims applicable to the product in such country. The know-how royalty is a tiered royalty of 3.5% on calendar year net sales up to $250 million; 5.5% on calendar year net sales of between $250 million and $500 million; and 7.5% on calendar year net sales exceeding $500 million. The know-how royalty rate resets to 3.5% at the beginning of each calendar year and is payable until 15 years from the first commercial sale of a product in each individual country.

The decreases in royalty revenues from the long-acting INVEGA products during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to the partial termination of our license agreement with Janssen related to such products. When the partial termination of the license agreement became effective in February 2022, we stopped recognizing royalty revenue related to net sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA in the U.S. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Janssen’s rest of world net sales were $362.0 million and $749.0 million, respectively, as compared to $380.0 million and $756.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

We expect royalty revenues from net sales of XEPLION, TREVICTA and BYANNLI to decrease over time. The amount and timing of royalty revenues from sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA depend upon the outcome of our dispute with Janssen related to the basis for its partial termination of our license agreement in respect of these products. In November 2021, we received notice of partial termination of our license agreement with Janssen in respect of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA pursuant to which Janssen received access and rights to Alkermes’ small particle pharmaceutical compound technology, known as NanoCrystal Technology. When the partial termination became effective in February 2022, Janssen ceased paying royalties related to sales of INVEGA SUSTENNA, INVEGA TRINZA and INVEGA HAFYERA in the U.S. and the Company stopped recognizing royalty revenue related to net sales of these products. In April 2022, we commenced binding arbitration proceedings related to, among other things, Janssen’s partial termination of this license agreement and Janssen’s royalty and other obligations under the agreement. For additional information regarding the arbitration proceedings with Janssen, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q. For more information about the license agreement with Janssen in respect of the long-acting INVEGA products, see the “Collaborative Arrangements—Janssen” section in “Part I, Item 1—Business” in our Annual Report. For information about risks relating to the notice of partial termination and our collaborative arrangements more broadly, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and specifically that section entitled “We rely heavily on our licensees in the commercialization and continued development of products from which we receive revenue and, if our licensees are not effective, or if disputes arise in respect of our contractual arrangements, our revenues could be materially adversely affected.”

In addition, each of INVEGA SUSTENNA and INVEGA TRINZA are currently subject to Paragraph IV litigation in response to companies seeking to market generic versions of such products. Increased competition from new products or generic versions of these products may lead to reduced unit sales of such products and increased pricing pressure. For a discussion of these legal proceedings, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q and for information about risks relating to these legal proceedings, see “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, and specifically the section entitled “We or our licensees may face claims against IP rights covering our products and competition from generic drug manufacturers.”

We recognize manufacturing revenue for RISPERDAL CONSTA at the point in time when RISPERDAL CONSTA has been fully manufactured, which is deemed to have occurred when the product is approved for shipment by both us and Janssen. We record royalty revenue, equal to 2.5% of Janssen’s end-market net sales, in the period that the end-market sale of RISPERDAL CONSTA occurs. The decrease in revenue from RISPERDAL CONSTA during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to a decrease of $3.4 million in manufacturing revenue and a decrease of $0.6 million in royalty revenue. The decrease in revenue from RISPERDAL CONSTA during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in royalty revenue, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in manufacturing revenue. The decrease in manufacturing revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to a decrease in our manufacturing fee. Pursuant to the terms of our manufacturing and supply agreement with Janssen, our manufacturing fee decreases as forecasted manufacturing production increases. Based on Janssen’s anticipated volume increases, our manufacturing fee decreased from 8.6% to 7.9% of Janssen’s net unit sales price. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in shipments to Janssen during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in manufacturing revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the number of units approved for shipment to Janssen, partially offset by the decrease in our manufacturing fee, as noted above. The decreases in royalty revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were due to decreases in end-market sales of RISPERDAL CONSTA, which were $125.0 million and $254.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $155.0 million and $312.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

We expect revenues from RISPERDAL CONSTA to decrease over time. The latest to expire patent covering RISPERDAL CONSTA expired in 2021 in the EU and will expire in 2023 in the U.S., and we are aware of potential generic competition for RISPERDAL CONSTA that may lead to reduced unit sales and increased pricing pressure.

We receive a 15% royalty on worldwide net sales of VUMERITY. We also recognize manufacturing revenue related to VUMERITY at cost plus 15%, upon release for bulk batches of VUMERITY and upon shipment for packaged lots of VUMERITY. The increases in revenue from VUMERITY during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to increases in royalty revenue. Royalty revenue increased by $6.9 million and $15.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Net sales of VUMERITY were $136.8 million and $264.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to $90.8 million and $164.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Manufacturing revenue increased by $7.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to an increase in the number of packaged batches that were manufactured for Biogen. Manufacturing revenue decreased by $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the manufacture of fewer commercial batches, as we work with Biogen and one of its suppliers to address a manufacturing issue, which, if it persists, will continue to negatively impact our manufacturing revenue and may negatively impact our royalty revenues.

Costs and Expenses

Cost of goods manufactured and sold	$	58.4	$	53.1	$	5.3	$	113.5	$	94.1	$	19.4

The increases in cost of goods manufactured and sold in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to increases of $1.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively, in the cost of goods manufactured for VUMERITY and increases of $5.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in the cost of goods sold for LYBALVI. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was an increase of $3.2 million, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, in the cost of goods manufactured for RISPERDAL CONSTA. These increases were all related to an increase in the number of units manufactured and sold for each of these products, as discussed above.

Research and Development Expenses

For each of our R&D programs, we incur both external and internal expenses. External R&D expenses include fees for clinical and non-clinical activities performed by contract research organizations, consulting fees, and costs related to laboratory services, the purchase of drug product materials and third-party manufacturing development activities. Internal R&D expenses include employee-related expenses, occupancy costs, depreciation and general overhead. We track external R&D expenses for each of our development programs; however, internal R&D expenses are not tracked by individual program as they can benefit multiple programs or our technologies in general.

The following table sets forth our external R&D expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 relating to our then current development programs and our internal R&D expenses, listed by the nature of such expenses:

	Three Months Ended							Six Months Ended

Research and development expenses	$	92.8	$	97.4	$	(4.6	)	$	188.8	$	189.7	$	(0.9	)

These amounts are not necessarily predictive of future R&D expenses. In an effort to allocate our spending most effectively, we continually evaluate our products under development, based on the performance of such products in preclinical and/or clinical trials, our expectations regarding the likelihood of their regulatory approval and our view of their future potential commercial viability, among other factors.

The decreases in expenses related to nemvaleukin in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to decreased spend on the ARTISTRY-1 and ARTISTRY-2 studies, partially offset by increased clinical spend on the ARTISTRY-7 study. For details on the ARTISTRY development program, see the “Key Development Program” section of this “Part I, Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Form 10-Q. The decreases in expenses related to LYBALVI in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to decreased R&D activities for the product in light of its commercial launch in October 2021. The increases in other external R&D expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to increases of $1.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, related to our early-stage development programs.

The increases in employee-related expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily related to increases of $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in labor and benefits, primarily due to increases in recruitment costs and temporary labor, and increases of $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in R&D-related share-based compensation expense.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(In millions)	2022		2021		Change		2022		2021		Change

Selling, general and administrative expense	$	150.3	$	139.2	$	11.1	$	295.4	$	264.4	$	31.0

The increases in selling and marketing expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to increases in marketing expenses of $4.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and increases in professional service fees of $2.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in each case primarily due to commercial launch activities for LYBALVI, and increases in employee-related expenses of $2.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively, primarily due to a 7% increase in selling and marketing headcount from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022 in support of the launch of LYBALVI.

The increases in general and administrative expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, were primarily due to increases in professional service fees of $5.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative-related share-based compensation expense of $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Total other (expense) income, net	$	1.2		$	1.2		$	—		$	(17.2	)	$	(1.0	)	$	(16.2	)

The increase in total other (expense) income, net in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration as a result of an increase in the risk of non-payment of future cash flows. The reasons for the increase in the risk of non-payment and the valuation approach used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration are discussed in greater detail in Note 5, Fair Value, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q. This was partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in interest expense due to certain financing costs related to the Term Loan Refinancing completed in March 2021 and proceeds received in connection with the Fountain transaction in March 2022. The Term Loan Refinancing is discussed in Note 11, Long-Term Debt in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q. The Fountain transaction is discussed in Note 4, Investments, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

Income tax (benefit) provision	$	(3.1	)		3.3	$	(6.4	)	$	(12.2	)	$	7.1	$	(19.3	)

The income tax (benefit) provision in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to U.S. federal and state taxes. The favorable change in the income tax (benefit) provision was primarily due to an enhanced FDII deduction as a result of a change to Section 174 of the TCJA in relation to capitalization and amortization of R&D expenses. The income tax (benefit) in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the enhanced FDII deduction. The FDII deduction is discussed in Note 14, Income Taxes in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q. The income tax provision in the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to a $6.6 million discrete tax expense related to employee equity activity.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We generated $19.4 million and used $12.1 million of cash from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to finance our anticipated working capital and other cash requirements, such as capital expenditures and principal and interest payments on our long‑term debt, for at least the twelve months following the date from which our financial statements were issued. Subject to market conditions, interest rates and other factors, we may pursue opportunities to obtain additional financing in the future, including debt and equity offerings, corporate collaborations, bank borrowings, arrangements relating to assets or other financing methods or structures. In addition, the 2026 Term Loans have an incremental facility capacity in an amount of $175.0 million, plus additional potential amounts, provided that we meet certain conditions, including a specified leverage ratio.

Our investment objectives are, first, to preserve liquidity and conserve capital and, second, to generate investment income. We mitigate credit risk in our cash reserves by maintaining a well-diversified portfolio that limits the amount of investment exposure as to institution, maturity and investment type. However, the value of these securities may be adversely affected by the instability of the global financial markets, which could, in turn, adversely impact our financial position and our overall liquidity. Our available-for-sale investments consist primarily of short and long-term U.S. government and agency debt securities, corporate debt securities and debt securities issued and backed by non-U.S. governments. Our held-to-maturity investments consist of investments that are held as collateral under certain letters of credit related to certain of our lease agreements.

We classify available‑for‑sale investments in an unrealized loss position that do not mature within twelve months as long‑term investments. We have the intent and ability to hold these investments until recovery, which may be at maturity, and it is more‑likely‑than‑not that we would not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. At June 30, 2022, we performed an analysis of our investments with unrealized losses for impairment and determined that they were not impaired.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources in the next twelve months.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2022			2021
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	$	337.5		$	273.0
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities		19.4			(12.1	)
Cash flows used in investing activities		(101.2	)		(33.8	)
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities		(1.1	)		31.2
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	254.6		$	258.3

Cash flows from operating activities represent the cash receipts and disbursements related to all of our activities other than investing and financing activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting our net loss for non-cash operating items such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our results of operations.

The change in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by working capital, offset by an increase in our net loss, net of adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash flows from operating activities. The increase in cash from working capital was primarily related to an increase in cash flows from accounts receivable and decreases in cash flows used in inventory and accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by increases in cash flows used for contract assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets and contract liabilities.

The increase in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to a $58.7 million increase in net purchase of investments, a $6.8 million decrease in payments received in connection with the contingent consideration resulting from the Gainesville Transaction and a $3.2 million increase in capital expenditures.

The change in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to $23.6 million in proceeds from the Term Loan Refinancing, which we received in the six months ended June 30, 2021, and a $9.0 million decrease in the amount of cash that we received upon exercises of employee stock options, net of employee taxes.

Debt

At June 30, 2022, the principal balance of our borrowings consisted of $296.3 million outstanding under our 2026 Term Loans. See Note 11, Long-Term Debt, in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of our 2026 Term Loans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different conditions or using different assumptions. See the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in “Part II, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

In relation to our contingent consideration, in light of Baudax’s disclosures regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, in March 2022 we increased our assessment of the likelihood that Baudax would default on its obligations to us to 100% from our prior determined likelihood of 55% as of December 31, 2021, and adjusted the recovery rate to 9% in March 2022 from 18% as of December 31, 2021. For further information regarding the calculation of the fair value of this contingent consideration, refer to Note 5, Fair Value in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Standards

See the “New Accounting Pronouncements” section in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q for discussion of certain recent accounting standards applicable to us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks related to our investment portfolio, and the ways we manage such risks, are summarized in “Part II, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report. We regularly review our marketable securities holdings and shift our investment holdings to those that best meet our investment objectives, which are to preserve capital, provide sufficient liquidity to satisfy operating requirements and generate investment income. Apart from such adjustments to our investment portfolio, there have been no material changes to our market risks since December 31, 2021, and we do not anticipate any near-term changes in the nature of our market risk exposures or in our management’s objectives and strategies with respect to managing such exposures.

We are exposed to non-U.S. currency exchange risk related to manufacturing and royalty revenues that we receive on certain of our products, partially offset by certain operating costs arising from expenses and payables in connection with our Irish operations that are settled predominantly in Euro. These non-U.S. currency exchange rate risks are summarized in “Part II, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report. There has been no material change in our assessment of our sensitivity to non-U.S. currency exchange rate risk since December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We did not purchase any shares under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
