1. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 was derived from audited financial statements, but certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have been made. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any period thereafter. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated or required by context, reference throughout to the "Company," "Eagle Pharmaceuticals," "Eagle," "we," "us" or "our" mean Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its subsidiary, Eagle Biologics, Inc., and references to "Eagle Biologics" mean Eagle Biologics, Inc.

2. Organization and Business Activities

Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing injectable products, primarily in the critical care and oncology areas, using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA's") 505(b)(2) New Drug Application ("NDA") regulatory pathway. The Company's business model is to develop proprietary innovations to FDA-approved injectable drugs, referred to as branded reference drugs, that offer favorable attributes to patients and healthcare providers. The Company has four products currently being sold in the United States under various license agreements in place with commercial partners, including a ready-to-use formulation of Argatroban, Ryanodex^®(dantrolene sodium) ("Ryanodex"), docetaxel injection, non-alcohol formulation ("Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection") and rapidly infused bendamustine RTD ("Bendeka"). The Company has a number of products currently under development and certain products may be subject to license agreements.

On February 13, 2015, the Company submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the FDA for Bendeka, which was approved by the FDA on December 7, 2015. Also on February 13, 2015, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Cephalon License”) with Cephalon, Inc. ("Cephalon"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Teva"), for U.S. and Canadian rights to Bendeka for treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”) and patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“NHL”). Subsequently, with the consent of the Company, Cephalon assigned to Teva Pharmaceuticals International GmbH (“TPIG”) all of Cephalon’s rights and obligations under the Cephalon License. Accordingly, all references to “Cephalon” or to the “Cephalon License” and the related supply agreements for Bendeka should be read and construed as references to TPIG and to the license agreement and supply agreements for Bendeka to which the Company and TPIG are now parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Cephalon License, Cephalon will be responsible for all U.S. commercial activities for the product including promotion and distribution, and the Company is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all regulatory approvals and conducting post-approval clinical studies. In connection with the Cephalon License, the Company has entered into a supply agreement with Cephalon, pursuant to which the Company is responsible for supplying product to Cephalon. During the quarter-ended September 30, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to the Cephalon License and supply agreements for Bendeka. The amendment expands the geographical scope of the rights granted under the original agreement to include territories outside the U.S. and Canada. Under the terms of the Cephalon License, the Company earned $25 million in March 2017 for an additional sales-based milestone payment as TPIG reached $500 million of aggregate net sales of Bendeka. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive 25% royalty payments on net product sales.

On October 13, 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive U.S. licensing agreement (the "Teikoku Agreement") with Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc. ("Teikoku") to market, sell and distribute Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, an investigational product intended for the treatment of breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and head and neck cancer. The NDA for Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection for these indications was approved by the FDA on December 22, 2015. The Company is obligated to pay 25% royalties on future gross profits.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

On November 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Co-Promotion Agreement (the "Spectrum Agreement") with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spectrum") under which Spectrum agreed to sell and market one of the Company's products through June 2017. The Company had the option to extend the initial term of this agreement by six months to December 31, 2017 at the Company's sole election. The Company elected not to exercise that option and the Spectrum agreement has expired.

On March 24, 2016 the FDA denied the Company's request for seven years of orphan drug exclusivity in the U.S., for Bendeka. In April 2016, the Company filed a lawsuit against the FDA arguing that Bendeka is entitled to orphan drug exclusivity as a matter of law (see Note 12. Legal Proceedings). On July 2, 2014, the FDA granted the Company orphan drug designations for Bendeka for the treatment of CLL and indolent B-cell NHL. The designations were based on a plausible hypothesis that Bendeka is “clinically superior” to a drug previously approved for the same indications. Generally, an orphan-designated drug is eligible for seven years of marketing exclusivity for the orphan-designated indications upon approval of the drug for those indications. If granted, orphan drug exclusivity for Bendeka would run for seven years from December 7, 2015, the date Bendeka was approved.

On August 9, 2016, the Company announced a share repurchase program approved by the Company’s board of directors authorizing the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). On August 9, 2017, the Company announced a new share repurchase program approved by the Board, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $100 million of its outstanding common stock (the “New Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program and the New Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Share Repurchase Programs have no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued completely at any time. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. The repurchases will be made using the Company's cash resources. In any period, cash used in financing activities related to shares repurchased may differ from the comparable change in stockholders' equity, reflecting timing differences between the recognition of share repurchase transactions and their settlement for cash. The Company repurchased 123,691 shares of common stock for $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, and an aggregate of 1,365,386 shares of common stock for $87.8 million through March 31, 2018.

On November 16, 2016 the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Arsia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Arsia”), an early-stage biotechnology firm with proprietary viscosity-reducing technology and formulation know-how and subsequently renamed the subsidiary Eagle Biologics, Inc. ("Eagle Biologics"). Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, at closing we paid approximately $27.2 million in cash and 40,200 shares of Eagle common stock worth $3.0 million. We also agreed to pay up to $48 million in additional payments upon the completion of certain milestones, for aggregate potential payments of $78 million. As part of the agreement, Eagle Biologics founders and Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors Dr. Robert Langer and Dr. Alexander Klibanov, as well as other key members of the Eagle Biologics team, entered into agreements to work with Eagle to develop new formulations and solve delivery challenges with large molecule products (see Note 4. Acquisitions).

On July 26, 2017, the Company received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA regarding its 505(b)(2) NDA for Ryanodex for the treatment of exertional heat stroke ("EHS"), in conjunction with external cooling methods. Based on the recent meeting with the FDA, the Company has agreed on a path forward and plan to conduct an additional clinical trial in August 2018 during the Hajj pilgrimage, similar to the study conducted during the Hajj in 2015.

On August 8, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) and the lenders party thereto, which amended and restated the Company’s existing credit agreement, dated as of January 26, 2017. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a three-year $50 million revolving credit facility and a three-year $100 million term loan facility (which are collectively referred to as the “Amended Credit Facility”). At closing, which occurred on August 8, 2017, $50 million of the term loan facility was drawn, and none of the revolving credit facility has been drawn. Although the Company had the option to make one other draw on the term loan facility on or before February 4, 2018, the Company elected not to draw down further on the term loan facility. The Amended Credit Facility includes a $5 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company anticipates that the draw at closing and future draws under the Amended Credit Facility, if any, will be used to finance the New Share Repurchase Program (as defined below) and for other corporate purposes. Loans under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.00% per annum, based upon the total net leverage ratio

EAGLE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

(Unaudited)

(as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or (b) the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% per annum, based upon the total net leverage ratio. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.35% to 0.45% per annum based upon the total net leverage ratio. The Company is permitted to terminate or reduce the revolving commitments or term commitments of the lenders and to make voluntary prepayments at any time subject to break funding payments. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement (a) upon receipt of proceeds from certain sales, transfers or other dispositions, casualty and other condemnation events and the incurrence of certain indebtedness other than indebtedness permitted, subject to customary reinvestment exceptions and (b) in the case that the aggregate amount of all outstanding loans and letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Facility exceed the aggregate commitment of all lenders under the Amended Credit Facility.

On September 20, 2017, the Company entered into a Product Collaboration and License Agreement, effective as of September 19, 2017, (the “SymBio License Agreement”) with SymBio Pharmaceuticals Limited (“SymBio”) for the rights to develop and commercialize the Company’s bendamustine hydrochloride ready-to-dilute injection product and rapid infusion injection product (collectively, the “Products”) in Japan. Under the License Agreement, SymBio will be responsible for all development of the Products in Japan and for obtaining and maintaining all regulatory approvals of the Products in Japan, with a target for regulatory approval of a Product in Japan in 2020. SymBio will bear all costs of development of the Products in Japan except that, if Japanese regulatory authorities require a certain clinical study to be conducted as a condition for approving one of the Products in Japan, Eagle would share 50% of the out-of-pocket costs of that clinical study up to a specified dollar amount as a reduction to future royalty payments. Based on the Company's assessment of the probability of additional costs, the Company not deferred revenue on the Symbio License Agreement. SymBio will also be responsible, at its sole cost, for all marketing, promotion, distribution and sales of the Products in Japan and is obligated to launch the Products and meet certain minimum detailing, promotion and marketing commitments in connection with commercialization of the Products in Japan.

SymBio currently markets in Japan TREAKISYM®, a lyophilized powder formulation of bendamustine hydrochloride indicated for CLL, relapsed or refractory low-grade NHL, mantle cell lymphoma (“MCL”), and as a first line treatment of low-grade NHL and MCL. Under the SymBio License Agreement, SymBio may continue to market TREAKISYM® in Japan and SymBio will be permitted to develop and market certain other bendamustine hydrochloride products in Japan for limited indications.

Pursuant to the terms of the SymBio License Agreement, the Company and SymBio will enter into a separate supply agreement, under which the Company will be responsible for manufacturing and supplying the Products to SymBio for development and commercialization in Japan. After a period of time following launch of a Product, SymBio will have the right to assume the responsibility for manufacturing of the Products in and for Japan. Under the Symbio License Agreement, the Company will retain the right to control the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of the Company’s patents covering the Products, both inside and outside of Japan.

Under the Symbio License Agreement, the Company earned an upfront non-refundable cash payment of $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2017, and is eligible to receive a milestone payment upon approval of a Product in Japan and a milestone payment upon achievement of certain cumulative net sales of the Products in Japan, which can aggregate to a total of approximately $10.0 million (subject to currency fluctuations). After regulatory approval of a Product in Japan, the Company will also receive tiered, low double-digit royalties on net sales of the Products in Japan for so long as there are patents covering the Products in Japan or regulatory exclusivity for the Products in Japan.

On October 23, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Worldwide Clinical Trials, Inc. to conduct a clinical trial for fulvestrant. A group study of healthy female subjects have been randomized across 12 sites. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of fulvestrant for Injectable Suspension versus the reference drug administered by IM injection in the gluteal muscle. The Company expects the study to be completed by fall 2018.

On October 27, 2017, the FDA granted tentative approval for the Company’s PEMFEXY™, a pemetrexed injection ready-to-dilute formulation ("Eagle's Pemfexy Product") for locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer in combination with cisplatin; locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer in patiensts whose disease has not progressed after four cycles of platinum-based first-line chemotherapy, as maintenance treatment; locally advanced or

metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer after prior chemotherapy as a single agent; and malignant pleural mesothelioma in patients whose disease is unresectable or who are otherwise not candidates for curative surgery in combination with cisplatin.

On February 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “ Arsia Amendment”) to the stock purchase agreement dated November 10, 2016 (the “Arsia SPA”), pursuant to which the Company acquired from Arsia Therapeutics, LLC (the “Seller”) all of the outstanding capital stock of Arsia Therapeutics, Inc. (now Eagle Biologics). Pursuant to the Arsia Amendment, the Company's obligations to make four separate milestone payments pursuant to the Arsia SPA, which could have aggregated to a total of $48 million, were terminated in exchange for a single payment of $15 million to the Seller.

In March 2018, the Company announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a new patent to the Company's Eagle Biologics division. Patent number 9,925,263 will expire in March 2036 and is the third patent issued in the Eagle Biologics family of patents.

In March 2018, the FDA approved a second manufacturing site for Bendeka.

On April 16, 2018, the Company announced the FDA's acceptance of the Company's ANDA filing for vasopressin injection, 1ml. This product is the generic version of Endo International plc's original Vasostrict® formulation, which is indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock (e.g., post-cardiotomy or sepsis) who remain hypotensive despite fluids and catecholamines.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements including disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and accompanying notes. The Company's critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on the part of management in their application, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to its short-term nature.

The Company, at times, maintains balances with financial institutions in excess of the FDIC limit.

Fair Value Measurements

U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

(Unaudited)


•	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value of interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their life being short term in nature, and are classified as Level 1 for all periods presented.

The fair value of debt is classified as Level 2 for the periods presented and approximates its fair value due to the variable interest rate.

The fair value of the contingent consideration/accrued royalty is classified as Level 3 for the periods presented.

Intangible Assets

Other Intangible Assets, Net

The Company capitalizes and includes in intangible assets the costs of acquired product licenses and developed technology purchased individually or identified in a business combination. Intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition and stated net of accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its definite-lived intangible assets using either the straight-line or accelerated method, based on the useful life of the asset over which it is expected to be consumed utilizing expected undiscounted future cash flows. The Company will evaluate the potential impairment of intangible assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Events giving rise to impairment are an inherent risk in our industry and many factors cannot be predicted. Factors that we consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant changes in our forecasted projections for the asset or asset group for reasons including, but not limited to, significant under-performance of a product in relation to expectations, significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets, significant negative industry or economic trends, and new or competing products that enter the marketplace. The impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition to the carrying value of the asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the related fair value of the asset with the related impairment charge recognized within the statements of income. The Company identified an impairment to our intangible asset for Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection in the third quarter of 2017 (See Note 7. Intangible Assets, Net).

With respect to determining an asset’s fair value and useful life, because this process involves management making certain estimates and these estimates form the basis of the determination of whether or not an impairment charge should be recorded, these estimates are considered to be critical accounting estimates.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in the Eagle Biologics acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. The Company did not identify any impairment to goodwill during the periods presented.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration related to a business combination is recorded on the acquisition date at the estimated fair value of the contingent payments. The acquisition date fair value is measured based on the consideration expected to be transferred using probability-weighted assumptions and discounted back to present value. The discount rate used is determined at the time of the acquisition in accordance with accepted valuation methods. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is re-measured at the estimated fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized as income or expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Concentration of Major Customers and Vendors

The Company is dependent on commercial partners to market and sell Argatroban and Bendeka. The Company's customers for Argatroban and Bendeka are its commercial and licensing partners; therefore, the Company's future revenues are highly dependent on these collaboration and distribution arrangements. The Company earned a $25 million sales-based milestone payment in March 2017 for Bendeka.

The total revenues and accounts receivables broken down by major customers as a percentage of the total are as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Net revenues
Cephalon, Inc. (Teva) - See Revenue Recognition	84	%	87	%
Other	16	%	13	%
	100	%	100	%



	March 31,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Accounts receivable
Cephalon, Inc. (Teva)	79	%	74	%
Other	21	%	26	%
	100	%	100	%

Currently, for Argatroban, the Company uses one vendor as its sole source supplier. Because of the unique equipment and process for manufacturing, transferring manufacturing activities to an alternate supplier would be a time consuming and costly endeavor.

Inventory

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews the composition of inventory in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise non-saleable items. If non-saleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the decline in value is first recognized. In most instances, inventory is shipped from the Company's vendor directly to the Company's customers.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets utilizing the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the lease term.

Research and Development Expense

Costs for research and development are charged to expense as incurred and include; employee-related expenses including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation expense for research and development personnel; expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations and service providers that assist in conducting clinical and preclinical studies; costs associated with preclinical activities and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations; and depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities.

expenses or accrued expenses as deemed appropriate. Recoveries of previously recognized research and development expenses from third parties are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense in the period it becomes realizable.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $895 and $5,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted rates and laws to taxable years in which differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Further, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the rate changes. A valuation allowance is required when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since our inception, we have incurred substantial cumulative losses and through the third quarter of 2016 we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets which was largely made up of our net operating loss carryforward. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reversed the reserve on its net deferred tax asset (see Note 11. Income Taxes). ASC 740 also prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not file a return in a particular jurisdiction. We recognize any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

Product revenue - The Company recognizes net revenue on sales to its commercial partners and to end users. In each instance, revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract.

Revenue on sales to commercial partners relates to Argatroban and Bendeka. Sales to our commercial partners are presented gross because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit to the commercial partner.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method to which the Company expects to be entitled. As such, revenue on sales to end users for Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, Ryanodex and diclofenac-misoprostol are recorded net of chargebacks, rebates, returns, prompt pay discounts, wholesaler fees and other deductions. Our products are contracted with a limited number of oncology distributors and hospital buying groups with narrow differences in ultimate realized contract prices used to estimate our chargeback and rebate reserves. The Company has a product returns policy

(Unaudited)

on some of its products that allows the customer to return pharmaceutical products within a specified period of time both prior to and subsequent to the product’s expiration date. The Company's estimate of the provision for returns is analyzed quarterly and is based upon many factors, including historical experience of actual returns and analysis of the level of inventory in the distribution channel, if any. The Company has terms on sales of Ryanodex by which the Company does not accept returns. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration are made using the expected value method and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. The Company believes that the estimates it has established are reasonable based upon current facts and circumstances. Applying different judgments to the same facts and circumstances could result in the estimated amounts to vary.

Royalty Revenue — The Company recognizes revenue from license arrangements with its commercial partners' net sales of products. In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, royalties are recognized when the subsequent sale of the commercial partner’s products occurs. The Company's commercial partners are obligated to report their net product sales and the resulting royalty due to the Company within 25 days for Bendeka and 60 days for Argatroban from the end of each quarter. Based on historical product sales, royalty receipts and other relevant information, the Company accrues royalty revenue each quarter and subsequently determines a true-up when it receives royalty reports from its commercial partners. Historically, these true-up adjustments have been immaterial.

License and other revenue — The Company analyzes each element of its licensing agreements to determine the appropriate revenue recognition. The terms of the license agreement may include payment to us of non-refundable up-front license fees, milestone payments if specified objectives are achieved, and/or royalties on product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from upfront payments at a point in time, typically upon fulfilling the delivery of the associated intellectual property to the customer.

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

The Company recognizes sales-based milestone payments as revenue upon the achievement of the cumulative sales amount specified in the contract in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65. For those milestone payments which are contingent on the occurrence of particular future events, the Company determined that these need to be considered for inclusion in the calculation of total consideration from the contract as a component of variable consideration using the most-likely amount method. As such, the Company assesses each milestone to determine the probability and substance behind achieving each milestone. Given the inherent uncertainty of the occurrence of these future events, the Company will not recognize revenue from the milestone until there is not a high probability of a reversal of revenue, which typically occurs near or upon achievement of the event.

As described above, under the terms of the Cephalon License, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $30 million, received a milestone payment of $15 million for regulatory approval, received a $40 million milestone upon receipt of the J-Code and received a $25 million in an additional sales based milestone payment for reaching $500 million in net product sales of Bendeka. In 2015, the $30 million upfront payment was allocated between the license issued to Cephalon and obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals and conducting post-approval clinical studies using the Company’s best estimate of selling price for each deliverable. The full $30 million was recognized as income in the first quarter of 2015, as the Company substantially completed its requirements for obtaining regulatory approval, which consisted of filing an NDA on February 13, 2015, and the remaining obligations were estimated to require minimal effort. On December 7, 2015, the FDA approved Bendeka (50 mL bendamustine hydrochloride) marking the achievement of a milestone which entitled the Company to a $15 million payment which was received in January 2016. The Company received a $40 million milestone payment in November 2016 upon receipt of the unique J-Code. Additionally, this event triggered an increase in the royalty rate from 20% to 25% of Bendeka net sales. In March 2017, the Company received a $25 million sales-based milestone payment for reaching $500 million in net product sales.

As discussed above, under the Symbio License Agreement, the Company earned an upfront non-refundable cash payment of $12.5 million during the third quarter of 2017.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of March 31, 2018.

Collaborative licensing and development revenue — The Company recognizes revenue from reimbursements received in connection with feasibility studies and development work for third parties when its contractual services are performed, provided collectability is reasonably assured. Its principal costs under these agreements include its personnel conducting research and development, its allocated overhead, as well as the research and development performed by outside contractors or consultants.

Upon termination of a collaboration agreement, any remaining non-refundable license fees received by the Company, which had been deferred, are generally recognized in full. All such recognized revenues are included in collaborative licensing and development revenue in its statements of income. The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments received under collaboration agreements when earned, provided that the milestone event is substantive, its achievability was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, the Company has no further performance obligations relating to the event, and collectability is reasonably assured. If these criteria are not met, the Company recognizes milestone payments ratably over the remaining period of its performance obligations under the collaboration agreement.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation that requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all stock-based payments including stock options and restricted stock. This topic requires companies to estimate the fair value of the stock-based awards on the date of grant for options issued to employees and directors and record expense over the employees' service periods, which are generally the vesting period of the equity awards.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated grant date fair values. The straight-line method is used to allocate compensation cost to reporting periods over each optionee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees and directors is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, or Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the calculation of expected term, forfeitures and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, among other inputs. The risk-free interest rate is determined with the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the options.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic earnings per share, except that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of warrants, options, convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted earnings per share contemplate a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.

The anti-dilutive common shares equivalents outstanding at the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018	2017
Options	1,985,879	1,522,317

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which revises the guidance in ASC 825-10, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The guidance is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) beginning after December 15, 2017, for public companies. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our financial position and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The adoption of this new standard will increase assets and liabilities on our balance sheet when adopted. We are still fully assessing the overall impact of this ASU on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the measurement of goodwill. The guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, under the amendments in this guidance, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss. The guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed for testing dates after January 1, 2017. The guidance must be adopted on a prospective basis. We do not expect this guidance to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business, provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and substantive process are present, and narrows the definition of the term output. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted on a prospective basis. We will consider the guidance for future transactions.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has updated its accounting policy for revenue recognition to reflect the new standard as detailed above. The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the delivery of the Company's services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. The Company applied Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. The Company has elected to apply this initial application of the standard only to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. For contracts which were modified before the adoption date, the Company has not restated the contract for those modifications. Instead, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price, if necessary. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard would be applied as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company has analyzed this effect and found the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and our recognition is consistent with our historical accounting policies.

Note 4. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection

On October 13, 2015, the Company entered into the Teikoku Agreement with Teikoku to market, sell and distribute Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, an investigational product intended for the treatment of breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and head and neck cancer. The NDA for Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection for these indications was approved by the FDA on December 22, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $4,850 upon FDA approval and NDA transfer to the Company, which occurred on January 12, 2016. The Company will also pay 25% royalties on future gross profits to Teikoku. The Company accounted for the transaction as a purchase of a business in 2016, in accordance with FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations.

The Company has measured the fair value of the future royalty payment using its own assumptions of future profitability for Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection. Acquisition contingent consideration is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs, which accordingly represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Any change in fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized in operating income within the condensed statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a change in the fair value of contingent consideration of $6.2 million. This was primarily driven by adjustments to the fair values of the liabilities associated with Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, which was remeasured due to the loss of a customer and other market conditions identified during the third quarter of 2017 for the product and partially offset by accretion for the time value of money.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the change in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability, which was recorded in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income:

Eagle Biologics Acquisition

On November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Arsia Therapeutics, LLC (“Seller”) (“Arsia SPA”) to acquire Arsia Therapeutics, Inc., an early-stage biotechnology firm with proprietary viscosity-reducing technology and formulation know-how and subsequently renamed the subsidiary Eagle Biologics, Inc. ("Eagle Biologics"). Under the terms of the Arsia SPA, the Company paid approximately $27.2 million in cash and 40,200 shares of Eagle common stock worth $3.0 million at closing. The Company also agreed to pay up to $48 million in additional payments upon the completion of certain milestones, for aggregate potential payments of $78 million. As part of the agreement, Eagle Biologics founders and Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors, Dr. Robert Langer and Dr. Alexander Klibanov, as well as other key members of the Eagle Biologics team, entered into agreements to work with Eagle to develop new formulations and solve delivery challenges in the large molecules space.

On February 8, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “ Arsia Amendment”) to the Arsia SPA. Pursuant to the Arsia Amendment, the Company's obligation to make four separate milestone payments pursuant to the Arsia SPA, which could have aggregated to a total of $48 million, were terminated in exchange for a single payment of $15 million.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Eagle Biologics to be recorded on the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Eagle Biologics’ results of operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Eagle Biologics’ platform technology enables subcutaneous administration of high-dose biologics through improved formulation. Eagle Biologics has developed early-stage partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies to apply its technology to their biosimilar molecules, create subcutaneous versions of currently-marketed IV products and produce high-concentration formulations of clinical candidates. In addition to acquiring the technology platform, the Company plans to establish a Biologics Innovation Center in Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Eagle Biologics at the date of acquisition:



The aggregate consideration consisted of:	Preliminary fair value
Cash consideration paid	$	27,209
Common stock issued (i)	3,046
Fair value of contingent consideration payable to seller(long term) (ii)	16,100
Total consideration	$	46,355

(i)

Under the Arsia SPA, the number of common shares to be issued to the Seller is equal to $2.7 million divided by the average of the closing day price per share for the thirty (30) trading days prior to the Closing Date. The average price of the common stock of 30 days prior to closing was $68.18. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Seller was determined at 40,200 shares ($2.7 million divided by $68.18 per share). The fair value of the common stock issued to the Seller was determined based on the closing price of Eagle’s common stock on November 16, 2016.

(ii)

Under the Arsia SPA, the contingent consideration includes four separate milestone payments which could aggregate to a total of $48 million payable to the Seller upon achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and development milestones. These milestone payments are also subject to acceleration under certain circumstances described in the Arsia SPA. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 805-30-25-5, each unit of contingent consideration is recognized at the acquisition date fair value. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration is $16.1 million and has been classified as other liabilities within non-current liabilities. Such fair values are determined based on a probabilistic model with weights assigned on the likelihood of the Company achieving the clinical, regulatory and development milestones as well as an acceleration event in the future. Each unit of contingent consideration is classified as a liability in the balance sheet and would be subsequently measured at fair value on each reporting date. Any future change in fair value would be recognized in the statement of operations. As described above, on February 8, 2018, the Company entered into the Arsia Amendment, pursuant to which the Company’s obligations to make four separate milestone payments under the Arsia SPA were terminated in exchange for a single payment of $15 million to the Seller.

Amortization expense was $670 and $712 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Intangible Asset Impairment

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company experienced a decline in customer contracts and saw a drop in market pricing for Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection. Accordingly, the Company estimated the fair value of the Company's Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection product and determined the carrying amount of the intangible asset was no longer fully recoverable, resulting in a pre-tax, non-cash asset impairment charge of $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Estimated Amortization Expense for Intangible Assets

Based on definite-lived intangible assets recorded as of March 31, 2018, and assuming that the underlying assets will not be impaired and that the Company will not change the expected lives of the assets, future amortization expenses are estimated as follows:



	Estimated Amortization Expense
	Estimated Amortization Expense
Year Ending December 31,
2018 (remainder)	$	2,010
2019	2,802
2020	2,948

2022	1,651
Thereafter	10,336
Total estimated amortization expense	$	22,652

8. Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation

Common Stock

On August 9, 2016, the Company announced a share repurchase program approved by the Company’s board of directors authorizing the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). On August 9, 2017, the Company announced a new share repurchase program approved by the Board, under which the Company may repurchase up to an additional $100 million of its outstanding common stock (the “New Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program and the New Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The Share Repurchase Program and the New Share Repurchase Program have no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued completely at any time. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. The repurchases will be made using the Company's cash resources. In any period, cash used in financing activities related to shares repurchased may differ from the comparable change in stockholders' equity, reflecting timing differences between the recognition of share repurchase transactions and their settlement for cash.

The Company repurchased the following shares of common stock with cash resources during the three months ended March 31, 2018:



Shares of common stock repurchased	123,691
Value of common stock repurchased	$	7,003

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2007, the Company's board of directors approved the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2007 Plan") enabling the Company to grant multiple stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants, the most common being stock options and restricted stock awards. In November 2013, the Company's board of directors approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") which became effective on February 11, 2014. The 2007 Plan was terminated upon the effectiveness of the 2014 Plan and all shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan were made available under the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for the awards of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Awards generally vest equally over a period of four years from grant date. Vesting may be accelerated under a change in control of the Company or in the event of death or disability to the recipient. In the event of termination, any unvested shares or options are forfeited. At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on August 4, 2015, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2014 Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 500,000 shares.

The Company recognized share-based compensation in its condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Stock options	$	4,427	$	4,193
RSUs	162		—
PSUs	716		—

Selling, general and administrative	$	4,045	$	3,132
Research and development	1,260		1,061
Share-based compensation expense	$	5,305	$	4,193

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company introduced a new long-term incentive program with the objective to better align the share-based awards granted to management with the Company's focus on improving total shareholder return over the long-term. The share-based awards granted under this long-term incentive program consist of time-based stock options, time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based stock units ("PSUs"). PSUs are comprised of awards that vest upon achievement of certain share price appreciation conditions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted approximately 631,625 stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $59.14 per option and approximately 810,650 stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $84.92 per option, respectively. The weighted average fair values of all stock options granted to employees during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $26.58 and $33.56, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted approximately 64,080 RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $59.14 per RSU. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not grant RSUs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted approximately 127,080 PSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $90.19 per respective PSU. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company did not grant PSUs.

Stock Options

The fair value of stock options granted to employees, directors, and consultants was estimated using the following assumptions:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018	2017
Risk-free interest rate	2.30% - 2.71%	1.91% - 2.42%
Volatility	43.76%	37.27%
Expected term (in years)	5.50 - 6.08 years	5.50 - 7.00 years
Expected dividend yield	0.0%	0.0%

RSUs

Each vested time-based RSU represents the right of a holder to receive one of the Company’s common shares. The fair value of each RSU granted is estimated based on the trading price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant.

(1) The Company leases its office and lab space under lease agreements that expire on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2027. Rental expense was $153 and $162, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The remaining future lease payments under the operating lease are $2,326 as of March 31, 2018, payable monthly through June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2027.

(2) At March 31, 2018, the Company has purchase obligations in the amount of $80,369 which represents the contractual commitments under contract manufacturing and supply agreements with suppliers. The obligation under the supply agreement is primarily for finished product, inventory, and research and development.

10. Debt

At closing, $50 million of the term loan facility was drawn, and none of the revolving credit facility has been drawn. Although the Company was permitted to make one other draw on the term loan facility on or before February 4, 2018, the Company elected not to draw down further on the term loan facility. The Amended Credit Facility includes a $5 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company anticipates that the draw at closing and future draws under the Amended Credit Facility, if any, will be used to finance the New Share Repurchase Program (as defined below) and for other corporate purposes. Loans under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.00% per annum, based upon the total net leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or (b) the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% per annum, based upon the total net leverage ratio. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.35% to 0.45% per annum based upon the total net leverage ratio. The Company is permitted to terminate or reduce the revolving commitments or term commitments of the lenders and to make voluntary prepayments at any time subject to break funding payments. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of outstanding indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement (a) upon receipt of proceeds from certain sales, transfers or other dispositions, casualty and other condemnation events and the incurrence of certain indebtedness other than indebtedness permitted, subject to customary reinvestment exceptions and

(b) in the case that the aggregate amount of all outstanding loans and letters of credit issued under the Amended Credit Facility exceed the aggregate commitment of all lenders under the Amended Credit Facility. The Company is obligated to repay the term loan facility on the last day of each March, June, September and December in an aggregate principal amount equal to 2.5% during the term of the loan.



Debt Maturities	as of March 31, 2018
2018 (remainder)	$	5,000
2019	5,000
2020	38,750

11. Income Taxes



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018			2017
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	959		$	(9,748	)
Effective tax rate	(58		)%	30		%

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, reflects the tax benefit of stock option exercises in the period and credits for research and development activity.

Deferred income tax assets at March 31, 2018 consist of temporary differences primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards, stock-based compensation, and research and development tax credit carryforwards, partially offset by temporary differences related to intangible assets.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and several states. Given that the company has incurred tax losses since its inception, all of the Company’s tax years are effectively open to examination. The Company has no amount recorded for any unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2018. The Company regularly evaluates its tax positions for additional unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest and penalties, if applicable. There are many factors that are considered when evaluating these tax positions including: interpretation of tax laws, recent tax litigation on a position, past audit or examination history, and subjective estimates and assumptions. The Company reflects interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a component of income tax provision or benefit.

12. Legal Proceedings

the Company in such matter. The plaintiffs have filed several additional lawsuits since the parties’ agreement in principle to dismiss, and the Company is in the process of working with plaintiffs to explore the possibility of dismissing those lawsuits.

Medicines Company v. Eagle

On February 2, 2016, The Medicines Company (“MDCO”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company, SciDose LLC and TherDose Pharma Pvt. Ltd. (collectively the “Defendants”) relating to the Defendants’ work on a novel ready-to-use bivalirudin injection product (“EP-6101”). MDCO amended that complaint in April of 2016. The complaint cites the May 7, 2008 License and Development Agreement (the “LDA”) between the Defendants and MDCO, which was terminated by the Company on September 17, 2013. In October 2017, the Defendants moved to dismiss the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and to stay discovery. In December 2017, while those motions were pending, the parties entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which Defendants agreed to pay $1.7 million and assign to MDCO all intellectual property rights relating to EP-6101. As a result of the settlement, the parties entered into a stipulation dismissing all claims with prejudice.

Bauer v. Eagle

On May 31, 2016, a federal securities class-action lawsuit (captioned Bauer v. Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Case No. 16-cv-03091-JLL-JAD) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On August 1, 2016, plaintiffs Blake Bauer, Brent Kawamura and Guarang Patel (the "EGRX Investors Group"), filed a motion requesting the Court to appoint the EGRX Investors Group as lead plaintiff and Kirby McInerney LLP as lead counsel. The motion was granted on September 9, 2016. On October 31, 2016, the EGRX Investors Group filed an amended class action complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) against the defendants, seeking compensatory damages and an award of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The Amended Complaint alleged that defendants violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, by making false and/or misleading statements about, among other things: (a) EP-6101, (b) the Company’s expectations regarding the NDA submitted for EP-6101, and (c) the Company’s business prospects. On December 16, 2016, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs opposed that motion on January 30, 2017. Defendants filed their reply on March 1, 2017. On May 19, 2017, the Court granted defendants motion to dismiss and dismissed the Amended Complaint without prejudice. On June 1, 2017, the Court entered an order granting plaintiffs until July 3, 2017 to file an amended complaint. Plaintiffs did not file an amended complaint on or before July 3, 2017 and, therefore, on August 2, 2017, the Court entered an order dismissing the case with prejudice and directing the clerk to close the case. On August 31, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, indicating their intent to appeal from the Court’s May 19, 2017 and August 2, 2017 orders. On October 4, 2017, plaintiffs-appellants filed a motion to withdraw their appeal and, on October 5, 2017, the Court of Appeals issued an order dismissing the appeal without costs to either party.

Eagle v. Burwell

On April 27, 2016, the Company filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the FDA and other federal defendants seeking an order requiring the FDA to grant us orphan drug exclusivity for Bendeka for the treatment of CLL and indolent B-cell NHL. The Company believes Bendeka is entitled to orphan drug exclusivity as a matter of law, and that the FDA’s decision violates federal law and is inconsistent with the holding of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Depomed Inc. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The parties have filed all substantive motions and pleadings and oral arguments were heard on May 4, 2018.

Eagle v. Eli Lilly

On August 24, 2017, the Company filed an antitrust complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”), Case No. 2:17-CV-06415. The complaint alleges that Lilly engaged in anticompetitive conduct which restrained competition by delaying and blocking the Company’s launch of a competing pemetrexed injection product (to compete with Lilly’s Alimta). Lilly has accepted service and answered the complaint on October 27, 2017. Lily also filed a motion to transfer this case to Delaware on October 27, 2017. Eagle filed a motion to oppose such transfer on November 6, 2017. No other dates or proceedings have been scheduled as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Patent Litigation

Eli Lilly and Company. v. Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PEMFEXY^TM (Pemetrexed))

On August 14, 2017, Lilly filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the “Indiana Suit”). Lilly alleged patent infringement based on the filing of the Company’s 505(b)(2) NDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell the Company’s EP-5101. EP-5101, if finally approved by FDA, will be a branded alternative to Alimta®, which is indicated (in combination with cisplatin) (a) for the treatment of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, or (b) for the initial treatment of locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer. Alimta® also is indicated as a single-agent for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer after prior chemotherapy. Alimta® also is indicated for maintenance treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has not progressed after four cycles of platinum-based first-line chemotherapy.

On September 8, 2017, Eagle moved to dismiss the Indiana Suit for improper venue. On September 11, 2017, Lilly voluntarily dismissed the Indiana Suit. It then filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging similar patent infringement claims (the “Delaware Suit”). Eagle answered and filed various counterclaims in the Delaware Suit on October 3, 2017. Lilly answered Eagle’s counterclaims on October 24, 2017. The Court held a scheduling conference on December 11, 2017 and set trial in the Delaware Suit to begin on September 9, 2019. The Delaware Suit is pending.

Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. v. Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company; Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. v. Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp.; Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. v. Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC; Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. v. Mylan Laboratories Limited - (BENDEKA®)

BENDEKA®, which contains bendamustine hydrochloride, is an alkylating drug that is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, as well as for the treatment of patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. Four companies - Slayback Pharma Limited Liability Company (“Slayback”), Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (“Apotex”), Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC (“Fresenius”), and Mylan Laboratories Limited (“Mylan”) - have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDA’s”) referencing BENDEKA® that include challenges to one or more of the BENDEKA® Orange Book-listed patents.

The Company, Cephalon, Inc. and/or Teva Pharmaceuticals International GMBH (together the “Patentees”), filed separate suits against Slayback, Apotex, Fresenius and Mylan in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on August 16, 2017 (Slayback (“Slayback I”)), August 18, 2017 (Apotex), August 24, 2017 (Fresenius), December 12, 2017 (Mylan), and January 19, 2018 (Slayback (“Slayback II”)). In these Complaints, the Patentees allege infringement of the challenged patents, namely U.S. Patent Nos. 8,791,270 and 9,572,887 against Slayback (Slayback I and Slayback II), and of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,609,707, 8,791,270, 9,000,021, 9,034,908, 9,144,568, 9,265,831, 9,572,796, 9,572,797, 9,572,887, 9,579,384, 9,597,397, 9,597,398, 9,597,399 against Fresenius, Apotex, and Mylan. Slayback, Apotex, Fresenius, and Mylan answered their Complaints and some filed various counterclaims on September 29, 2017 (Slayback I), February 12, 2018 (Slayback II), November 27, 2017, September 15, 2017, and February 14, 2018, respectively. The Patentees answered the Slayback I, Slayback II, Fresenius, and Apotex counterclaims on October 20, 2017, March 5, 2018, October 6, 2017, and December 18, 2017, respectively. The Slayback I, Slayback II, Apotex, Fresenius and Mylan cases have been consolidated for all purposes, with Trial scheduled to begin September 3, 2019. All five cases are pending.

The FDA is stayed from approving Apotex’s, Fresenius’, and Mylan’s ANDA’s until the earlier of (1) January 7, 2020, January 14, 2020, and April 30, 2020, respectively (the “30-month stay dates”); and (2) a court decision that each of the challenged patents is not infringed, invalid or unenforceable. The 30-month stay dates may be shortened or lengthened if either party to the action fails to reasonably cooperate in expediting the action. The FDA cannot approve Slayback’s ANDA until March 2033.

Overview

Our business model is to develop proprietary innovations to FDA-approved, injectable drugs that offer commercial and/or functional advantages to currently available alternatives. We have historically been, and will continue to primarily be, focused on developing and commercializing injectable drugs, primarily in the critical care and oncology areas, using the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)'s 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (“NDA”) regulatory pathway. With our addition of Eagle Biologics, we hope to apply our proven market strategy to offer “biobetter” formulations, and to rapidly develop novel biologic products under the pathway provided by the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act. In addition, we plan to continue to market and/or commercialize our products through marketing partners and/or through our growing internal direct sales force.

Our product portfolio now includes four approved products: Argatroban, Ryanodex® (dantrolene sodium) (“Ryanodex”), docetaxel injection, non-alcohol formulation (“Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection”), and rapidly infused bendamustine RTD (“Bendeka”). We have three commercial partners: Chiesi USA, Inc. ("Chiesi") and Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”), who, pursuant to separate agreements, market Argatroban and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Teva"), which, through its subsidiary Cephalon, Inc. ("Cephalon"), markets Bendeka®. Bendeka was commercially launched by Teva in January 2016.

We currently have multiple product candidates in advanced stages of development and/or under review for approval by the FDA. Additionally, we have other product candidates under a collaborative agreement. Our advanced product candidates are EP-3101 (bendamustine RTD) ("EP-3101 RTD"), EP-4104 (dantrolene sodium for exertional heat stroke ("EHS")) (“EP-4104”), EP-5101 (PEMFEXY™, a pemetrexed injection ready-to-dilute formulation) (“EP-5101”) and EGL-5385-C-1701 (fulvestrant). Despite having received a Complete Response Letter for EP-4104 in July 2017, we have agreed on a path forward with the FDA for an additional clinical trial.

Recent Developments

On February 8, 2018, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the stock purchase agreement dated November 10, 2016 (the “Arsia SPA”), pursuant to which we acquired from Arsia Therapeutics, LLC (the “Seller”) all of the outstanding capital stock of Arsia Therapeutics, Inc. (now Eagle Biologics). Pursuant to the Amendment, our obligations to make four separate milestone payments pursuant to the Arsia SPA, which could have aggregated to a total of $48 million, were terminated in exchange for a single payment of $15 million to the Seller.

In March 2018, the FDA approved a second manufacturing site for Bendeka.

On April 16, 2018, the Company announced the FDA's acceptance of our ANDA filing for vasopressin injection, 1ml. This product is the generic version of Endo International plc's original Vasostrict® formulation, which is indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock (e.g., post-cardiotomy or sepsis) who remain hypotensive despite fluids and catecholamines. Vasostrict had approximately $400 million in brand sales in 2017.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

Our revenue consists of product sales, royalty revenue and license and other revenue.

Product Sales. We recognize revenues from product sales of Bendeka, Ryanodex, Argatroban, Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, and diclofenac-misoprostol. Sales of Bendeka are sold to our commercial partner Teva. Argatroban is sold directly to our commercial partners Chiesi and Sandoz. Sales to our commercial partners are typically made at little or no profit for resale. Ryanodex, Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, and diclofenac-misoprostol are sold directly to wholesalers, hospitals and surgery centers through a third party logistics partner. Diclofenac-misoprostol was divested in March 2016; however, we may continue to market diclofenac-misoprostol until such time that the purchaser is able to launch the product.

We typically enter into agreements with group purchasing organizations acting on behalf of their hospital members, in connection with the hospitals’ purchases of our direct commercial products. Based on these agreements, most of our hospital customers have contracted prices for products and volume-based rebates on product purchases. These amounts are estimated and recorded at the time of sale. In the case of discounted pricing, we typically pay a chargeback, representing the difference between the price invoiced to the wholesaler and the customer contract price.

Royalty revenue. We recognize revenue from royalties based on a percentage of Teva's net sales of Bendeka and Sandoz's and Chiesi's gross profit of Argatroban, both net of discounts, returns and allowances incurred by our commercial partners. Royalty revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when it can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured.

License and other revenue.

Our revenues may either be in the form of the recognition of deferred revenues upon milestone achievement for which cash has already been received or recognition of revenue upon milestone achievement, the payment for which is reasonably assured to be received in the future.

The primary factors that determine our revenues derived from Bendeka are:


•	the level of orders submitted by our commercial partner, Teva;


•	the rate at which Teva can convert the current market to Bendeka;


•	the level of institutional demand for Bendeka;


•	unit sales prices charged by our commercial partner, net of any sales reserves; and


•	the level of orders submitted by wholesalers, hospitals and surgery centers.

The primary factors that may determine our revenues derived from Argatroban are:


•	the level of orders submitted by our commercial partners, Sandoz and Chiesi;


•	the level of institutional demand for Argatroban; and


•	unit sales prices charged by our commercial partners, net of any sales reserves.

The primary factors that may determine our revenues derived from Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, Ryanodex and diclofenac-misoprostol and our future products are:


•	the effectiveness of our sales force;


•	the level of orders submitted by wholesalers, hospitals and surgery centers;


•	the level of institutional demand for our products; and


•	unit sales prices, net of any sales reserves.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenue consists of the costs associated with producing our products for our commercial partners. In particular, our cost of revenue includes production costs of our products paid to a contract manufacturing organization coupled with shipping and customs charges, cost of royalty and the amortization of intangible assets. Cost of revenue may also include the effects of product recalls, if applicable.

Research and Development

Costs for research and development are charged to expense as incurred and include: employee-related expenses including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation expense for research and development personnel, expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations and service providers that assist in conducting clinical and preclinical studies; costs associated with preclinical activities and development activities, costs associated with regulatory operations; and depreciation expense for assets used in research and development activities.

Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical studies, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided to the Company by its vendors on their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the patterns of costs incurred, and are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as prepaid expenses or accrued expenses as deemed appropriate. Recoveries of previously recognized research and development expenses from third parties are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense in the period it becomes realizable.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation for executive, finance, sales and operations personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include facility and related costs, professional fees for legal, consulting, tax and accounting services, insurance, selling, marketing, market research, advisory board and key opinion leaders, depreciation and general corporate expenses. We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase with the potential of further commercialization of our product candidates particularly as we continue to grow our commercial organization.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted rates and laws to taxable years in which differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Further, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the rate changes. A valuation allowance is required when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reversed its valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets (See Note 11. Income Taxes). ASC 740 also prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not file a return in a particular jurisdiction. We recognize any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Revenues



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Decrease
	2018		2017		Decrease

License and other revenue	—		25,000		(25,000		)
Total revenue	$	46,626	$	76,793	$	(30,167	)

Total revenue decreased $30.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $46.6 million as compared to $76.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Product sales decreased $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily driven by decreases in product sales of Bendeka of $2.6 million, Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection of $0.7 million, and Argatroban of $0.7 million. In addition, there was a $0.4 million decrease in net product sales of diclofenac-misoprostol as the Company sold certain intellectual property related to this product in March 2016.

Royalty revenue decreased $0.7 million primarily as a result of royalties on Bendeka in the quarter.

License and other revenue decreased as we realized a $25.0 million milestone under the Cephalon agreement, related to Teva reaching $500 million in cumulative net sales of Bendeka, during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Cost of Revenue



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Decrease
	2018		2017		Decrease

Cost of product sales	$	7,223	$	10,765	$	(3,542	)
Cost of royalty revenue	4,585		7,229		(2,644		)
Total cost of revenue	$	11,808	$	17,994	$	(6,186	)

Cost of revenue decreased by $6.2 million to $11.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $18.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Cost of product sales decreased $3.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $7.2 million as compared to $10.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of decreased product sales of Bendeka, Argatroban, Non-Alcohol Docetaxel Injection, and diclofenac-misoprostol.

Cost of royalty revenue decreased $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $4.6 million as compared to $7.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the royalty cost incurred in connection with the $25 million sales-based milestone on Bendeka earned during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Research and Development



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase
	2018		2017		Increase
	(in thousands)
Research and development	$	17,320	$	7,525	$	9,795

Research and development expenses increased $9.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $17.3 million as compared to $7.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in project spending

for EGL-5385-C-1701 relating to the on-going clinical study, which completed randomization of 600 subjects during the quarter, certain other projects and higher salary and personnel-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in project spending for EP-4104.

Selling, General and Administrative



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Decrease
	2018		2017		Decrease
	(in thousands)
Selling, general and administrative	$	15,193	$	18,578	$	(3,385	)

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $15.2 million as compared to $18.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease is primarily related to a $5.0 million decrease in sales and marketing spend as we incurred significant preparation costs for the launch of Ryanodex for exertional heat stroke and had fees related to our co-promotion agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2017. This was partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million in salary and personnel-related expenses, including stock based compensation expense, as we build out areas to support the growing needs of the business and sales force, $0.6 million increase in professional fees, and a $0.4 million increase in travel related expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense	(675		)	(27		)	(648		)
Total other expense, net	$	(648	)	$	(24	)	$	(624	)

Interest expense increased in the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to cash interest on our debt and the amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on long-term debt.

Income tax benefit (provision)

	2018			2017
	(in thousands)
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	959		$	(9,748	)
Effective tax rate	(58		)%	30		%

The benefit (provision) for income taxes was based on the applicable federal and state tax rates for those periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 reflects tax benefits related to stock option exercises in the period as well as credits for research and development activity (see Note to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 11. Income Taxes).

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.6 million as compared to net income of $22.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, as a result of the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash are to fund working capital requirements, product development costs and operating expenses. Cash and cash equivalents were $95.7 million and $27.7 million as of March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we realized net income of $2.6 million. As of March 31, 2018, we had a working capital surplus of $140.1 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we realized net income of $22.9 million. Although the Company has incurred significant losses since its inception in January 2007, we recently became profitable and have retained earnings of $28.9 million as of March 31, 2018.

We believe that future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital requirements.

The Company expects to use future loans, if any, under the Credit Facility, for general corporate purposes and any strategic acquisitions.

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $4.9 million. Net income for the period was $2.6 million offset by non-cash adjustments of approximately $6.3 million from deferred income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, and change in fair value of contingent consideration. Net changes in working capital decreased cash from operating activities by approximately $4.0 million, due to an increase in inventory of $1.0 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.4 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.5 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $2.6 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $2.3 million. The total amount of accounts receivable at March 31, 2018 was approximately $53.4 million, which included approximately $16.8 million of product sales and $35.8 million of royalty and milestone income, all with payment terms of 45 days. For royalty income, the 45-day period starts at the end of the quarter upon receipt of the royalty statement detailing the amount of sales in the prior completed quarter, and, for product sales, the period starts upon delivery of product.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $12.4 million. Net income for the period was $22.9 million offset by non-cash adjustments of approximately $9.8 million from deferred income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and change in fair value of contingent consideration. Net changes in working capital decreased cash from operating activities by approximately $45.1 million, due to an increase in accounts receivable of $42.6 million, an increase in inventories of $0.3 million, an increase in accounts payable of $4.3 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3.3 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $9.8 million. The total amount of accounts receivable at March 31, 2017 was approximately $84.7 million, which included approximately $23.2 million of product sales and $61.5 million of royalty and milestone income, all with payment terms of 45 days. For royalty income, the 45-day period starts at the end of the quarter upon receipt of the royalty statement detailing the amount of sales in the prior completed quarter, and, for product sales, the period starts upon delivery of product.

Investing Activities:

In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we invested $19 thousand and $0.7 million in purchases of property and equipment, respectively.

Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $23.9 million, primarily resulting from a $15 million payment of contingent consideration in connection with the Arsia Amendment, $7.0 million in cash settlements on repurchases of common stock, and a $3.1 million payment of employee withholding tax for a net option exercise. This was offset by the issuance of common stock for stock option exercises of $1.2 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $12.0 million, primarily resulting from $13.7 million in cash settlements on repurchases of common stock and $0.5 million payment of debt financing costs. This was partially offset by the issuance of common stock for stock option exercises of $2.1 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has updated its accounting policy for revenue recognition to reflect the new standard. The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the delivery of the Company's services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. The Company applied Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method. The Company has elected to apply this initial application of the standard only to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. For contracts which were modified before the adoption date, the Company has not restated the contract for those modifications. Instead, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price, if necessary. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard would be applied as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company has analyzed this effect and found the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and our recognition is consistent with our historical accounting policies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Impact of Inflation

While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation at March 31, 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In addition to the below legal proceedings, from time to time, we may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Commercial Litigation

In Re: Taxotere (Docetaxel)

In March 2017, the Company reached agreements in principle with the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in this matter to voluntarily dismiss the Company from all of the lawsuits in which it was named and from the master complaint. The Company is in the process of working with the other parties in this matter to have it removed from the Multidistrict litigation entirely. As part of the agreement, in the event a case is brought in the future with facts that justify the Company’s inclusion, the plaintiffs reserved the right to include the Company in such matter. The plaintiffs have filed several additional lawsuits since the parties’ agreement in principle to dismiss, and the Company is in the process of working with plaintiffs to explore the possibility of dismissing those lawsuits.

Medicines Company v. Eagle

Eagle v. Burwell

Eagle v. Eli Lilly

On August 24, 2017, the Company filed an antitrust complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”), Case No. 2:17-CV-06415. The complaint alleges that Lilly engaged in anticompetitive conduct which restrained competition by delaying and blocking the Company’s launch of a competing pemetrexed injection product, EP-5101 (to compete with Lilly’s Alimta). Lilly has accepted service and answered the complaint on October 27, 2017. Lily also filed a motion to transfer this case to Delaware on October 27, 2017. Eagle filed a motion to oppose such transfer on November 6, 2017. No other dates or proceedings have been scheduled as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Patent Litigation

Eli Lilly and Company. v. Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PEMFEXY^TM (Pemetrexed))

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
