NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

Insmed is a global biopharmaceutical company on a mission to transform the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases. The Company's first commercial product, ARIKAYCE, is approved in the United States as ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), in Europe as ARIKAYCE® Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion and in Japan as ARIKAYCE inhalation 590mg (amikacin sulfate inhalation drug product). ARIKAYCE received accelerated approval in the United States (US) in September 2018 for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options in a refractory setting. In October 2020, the European Commission (EC) approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis (CF). In March 2021, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. NTM lung disease caused by MAC (which the Company refers to as MAC lung disease) is a rare and often chronic infection that can cause irreversible lung damage and can be fatal. The Company's clinical-stage pipeline includes brensocatib and treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP). Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1), which the Company is developing for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis and other neutrophil-mediated diseases. TPIP is an inhaled formulation of the treprostinil prodrug treprostinil palmitil which may offer a differentiated product profile for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and other rare pulmonary disorders.

The Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on November 29, 1999 and its principal executive offices are located in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The Company has legal entities in the US, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and Japan.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US for complete consolidated financial statements are not included herein. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company had $409.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 and reported a net loss of $91.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Historically, the Company has funded its operations through public offerings of equity securities and debt financings. The Company commenced commercial shipments of ARIKAYCE in October 2018. The Company expects to continue to incur consolidated operating losses, including losses in its US and certain international entities, while funding research and development (R&D) activities for ARIKAYCE, brensocatib, TPIP and its other pipeline programs, and continuing and commencing pre-commercial, commercialization and regulatory activities for ARIKAYCE, and funding other general and administrative activities.

The Company expects its future cash requirements to be substantial, and the Company may need to raise additional capital to fund operations, including the continued commercialization of ARIKAYCE and additional clinical trials related to ARIKAYCE, to develop brensocatib and TPIP and to develop, acquire, in-license or co-promote other products or product candidates, including those that address a broad range of rare diseases. The source, timing and availability of any future financing or other transaction will depend principally upon continued progress in the Company’s commercial, regulatory and development activities. Any equity or debt financing will also be contingent upon equity and debt market conditions and interest rates at the time. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient additional funds when required, the Company may be forced to delay, restrict or eliminate all or a portion of its development programs or commercialization efforts. The Company believes it currently has sufficient funds to meet its financial needs for at least the next 12 months.

Risks and Uncertainties - There are many uncertainties regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic will impact its patients, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. While the pandemic did not materially affect the Company's financial results and business operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the

Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will make adjustments to its operations as necessary.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following are the required interim disclosure updates to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020:

Fair Value Measurements - The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

•Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Each major category of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments in Level 1 generally include US treasuries and mutual funds listed in active markets.

The Company's only financial assets and liabilities, which were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were Level 1 assets comprised of cash and cash equivalents. The Company's cash and cash equivalents permit daily redemption and the fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices in active markets provided by the holding financial institutions. The following table shows assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their carrying value (in millions):


	March 31, 2021
			Fair Value
	Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents	$	409.8	$	409.8	$	—	$	—


	December 31, 2020
			Fair Value
	Carrying Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents	$	532.8	$	532.8	$	—	$	—

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held no securities that were in an unrealized gain or loss position.

Table of Contents

The Company reviews the status of each security quarterly to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company has determined that there were no other-than-temporary impairments during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. In making its determination, the Company considers a number of factors, including: (1) the significance of the decline; (2) whether the securities were rated below investment grade; (3) how long the securities have been in an unrealized loss position; and (4) the Company's ability and intent to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time for it to recover.

The estimated fair value of the liability component of the Company's 1.75% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the Convertible Notes) (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) as of March 31, 2021 was $512.3 million, determined using current market factors and the ability of the Company to obtain debt on comparable terms to the Convertible Notes. The $361.6 million carrying value of the Convertibles Notes as of March 31, 2021 excludes the $83.1 million and $5.3 million of the unamortized portion of the debt discount and issuance costs, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share - Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and other dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities from stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and convertible debt securities would be anti-dilutive as the Company incurred a net loss. Potentially dilutive common shares resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and from the assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes are determined based on the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Common stock options	13,008	13,144
Unvested restricted stock and RSUs	915	930
Convertible debt securities	11,492	11,492

Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions and may invest its short-term investments in US treasury securities, mutual funds and government agency bonds. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity.

Table of Contents

The Company is exposed to risks associated with extending credit to customers related to the sale of products. The Company does not require collateral to secure amounts due from its customers. The Company uses an expected loss methodology to calculate allowances for trade receivables. The Company's measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company does not currently have a material allowance for collectible trade receivables. The following table presents the percentage of total gross product revenue represented by the Company's three largest customers as of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.


	March 31,
	2021	2020
Customer A	26%	26%
Customer B	25%	27%
Customer C	22%	25%

The Company relies on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for manufacturing and supply of its products. The inability of the suppliers or manufacturers to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could materially impact future operating results. A change in the relationship with the suppliers or manufacturers, or an adverse change in their business, could materially impact future operating results.

Revenue Recognition—In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services provided. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contracts with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, 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. For all contracts that fall into the scope of ASC 606, the Company has identified one performance obligation: the sale of ARIKAYCE to its customers. The Company has not incurred or capitalized any incremental costs associated with obtaining contracts with customers.

Product revenues, net consist primarily of net sales of ARIKAYCE in the US. Product revenues are recognized once the Company performs and satisfies all five steps mentioned above. The Company's customers in the US include specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors.

Revenue is recorded at net selling price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established for (a) customer credits, such as invoice discounts for prompt pay and specialty pharmacies fees, (b) estimated government rebates, such as Medicaid and Medicare Part D reimbursements, and estimated managed care rebates, (c) estimated chargebacks, and (d) estimated costs of co-payment assistance. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (prompt pay discounts and chargebacks), prepaid expenses (co-payment assistance), or as a current liability (rebates). Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company's historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company's best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the applicable contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results in the future vary from estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Customer credits: The Company's customers are offered various forms of consideration, including fees for enhanced services and prompt payment discounts. The payment terms for sales to specialty pharmacies for prompt payment discounts and fees for services are based on contractual rates agreed with the respective specialty pharmacies. The Company anticipates that its customers will earn these discounts and fees and, therefore, deducts the full amount of these discounts and fees from total gross product revenues at the time such revenues are recognized.

Table of Contents

Rebates: The Company contracts with government agencies and managed care organizations, or collectively, third-party payors, so that ARIKAYCE will be eligible for purchase by, or partial or full reimbursement from, such third-party payors. The Company estimates the rebates it will provide to third-party payors and deducts these estimated amounts from total gross product revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability. The current liability is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the rebates that it will provide to third-party payors based upon (i) the Company's contracts with these third-party payors, (ii) the government mandated discounts applicable to government-funded programs, (iii) a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for the estimated payor mix, and (iv) information obtained from the Company's specialty pharmacies.

Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when certain contracted customers, currently public health service institutions and federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, purchase directly from the Company's specialty distributor. Contracted customers generally purchase the product at a discounted price and the specialty distributor, in turn, charges back to the Company the difference between the price the specialty distributor initially paid and the discounted price paid by the contracted customers. The Company estimates chargebacks provided to the specialty distributor and deducts these estimated amounts from gross product revenues, and from accounts receivable, at the time revenues are recognized.

Co-payment assistance: Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. Based upon the terms of the program and information regarding programs provided for similar specialty pharmaceutical products, the Company estimates the average co-pay mitigation amounts and the percentage of patients that it expects to participate in the program in order to establish accruals for co-payment assistance. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. The Company adjusts its accruals for co-pay assistance based on actual redemption activity and estimates of future redemptions related to sales in the current period.

If any, or all, of the Company's actual experience varies from its estimates, the Company may need to adjust prior period accruals, affecting revenue in the period of adjustment.

The Company also recognizes revenue related to certain early access programs (EAPs) in Europe, consisting of sales to the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety, which granted ARIKAYCE a Temporary Authorization for Use (Autorisation Temporaire d'Utilisation, or ATU) and from the named patient program in Germany and other countries. EAPs are intended to make products available on a named patient basis before they are commercially available in accordance with local regulations. In December 2020, the Company began recognizing product revenue from commercial sales of ARIKAYCE to Germany subsequent to receiving approval from the EC.

Inventory and Cost of Product Revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company began capitalizing inventory costs following FDA approval of ARIKAYCE in September 2018. Inventory is sold on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company periodically reviews inventory for expiry and obsolescence and, if necessary, writes down accordingly. If quality specifications are not met during the manufacturing process, such inventory is written off to cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) in the period identified.

Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) consist primarily of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE sold, including third-party manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight, and allocation of overhead costs, in addition to royalty expenses and revenue-based milestone payments. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates actual cost, and assumes a FIFO flow of goods.

Prior to FDA approval of ARIKAYCE, the Company expensed all inventory-related costs in the period incurred. Inventory used for clinical development purposes is expensed to R&D expense when consumed.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use (ROU) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet.

A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of explicitly or implicitly identified property, plant or equipment in exchange for consideration. Control of an asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset or the right to direct the use of the asset. The

Table of Contents

Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future, fixed lease payments over the term of the arrangement. ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or are amortized based on consumption, if this approach is more representative of the pattern in which benefit is expected to be derived from the underlying asset. Lease liabilities accrete to yield and are reduced at the time when the lease payment is payable to the vendor. Variable lease payments are recognized at the time when the event giving rise to the payment occurs and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the same line item as expenses arising from fixed lease payments.

In accordance with Topic 842, leases are measured at present value using the rate implicit in the lease or, if the implicit rate is not determinable, the lessee's implicit borrowing rate. As the implicit rate is not typically available, the Company uses its implicit borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The implicit borrowing rate approximates the rate the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments.

Refer to Note 7 - Leases for details about the Company's lease portfolio, including Topic 842 required disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which requires financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This ASU amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables. The Company's measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. Different aspects of the guidance required modified retrospective or prospective adoption. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted) - In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Accounting for Convertible Instruments, to reduce the complexity associated with applying US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. For convertible instruments, the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments is reduced, which results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Only convertible instruments that meet the definition of a derivative or are issued with substantial premiums will continue to be subject to the separation models. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. A modified retrospective and a fully retrospective transition method are both permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Inventory

The Company began capitalizing inventory costs following FDA approval of ARIKAYCE in September 2018. The Company has not recorded any significant inventory write-downs since that time. The Company currently uses a limited number of third-party contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) to produce its inventory.

4. Intangibles, Net

As of March 31, 2021, the Company's identifiable intangible assets consisted of acquired ARIKAYCE R&D and milestones paid to PARI for the license to use PARI's Lamira® Nebulizer System for the delivery of ARIKAYCE to patients as a result of the FDA and EC approvals of ARIKAYCE in September 2018 and October 2020, respectively. Total intangible assets, net was $48.0 million and $49.3 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company began amortizing its intangible assets in October 2018, over ARIKAYCE's initial regulatory exclusivity period of 12 years. Amortization of intangible assets during each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $5.1 million per year. A rollforward of the Company's intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 follows (in thousands):


	2021
Intangible Asset	January 1,		Additions		Amortization		March 31,

The Company reviews the recoverability of these finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company determined that no indicators of impairment of finite-lived intangible assets existed at March 31, 2021.

5. Fixed Assets, Net

Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, based on useful lives as follows (in thousands):

	$	41,289	$	37,807

7. Leases

The Company's lease portfolio consists primarily of office space, manufacturing facilities, research equipment and fleet vehicles. All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases, except for the Company's corporate headquarters lease, which is classified as a finance lease. The terms of the Company's lease agreements that have commenced range from less

Table of Contents

than one year to ten years, ten months. In its assessment of the term of each such lease, the Company has not included any options to extend or terminate the lease due to the absence of economic incentives in its lease agreements. Leases that qualify for treatment as a short-term lease are expensed as incurred. These short-term leases are not material to the Company's financial position. Furthermore, the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. The Company's leases do not contain residual value guarantees and it does not sublease any of its leased assets.

The Company outsources its manufacturing operations to CMOs. Upon review of the agreements with its CMOs, the Company determined that these contracts contain embedded leases for dedicated manufacturing facilities. The Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the manufacturing facilities, has the right to direct how and for what purpose the facility is used throughout the period of use, and the supplier does not have the right to change the operating instructions of the facility. The operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities associated with the manufacturing facilities is the sum of the minimum guarantees over the life of the production contracts.

The Company also records variable consideration for variable lease payments in excess of fixed fees or minimum guarantees. Variable consideration related to the Company's leasing arrangements was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Variable costs related to CMO manufacturing agreements are direct costs related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE and are capitalized within inventory in the Company's consolidated balance sheet, while the variable costs related to other leasing arrangements, not related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE, have been classified within operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The table below summarizes the supplemental noncash disclosures of the Company's leases included in its consolidated financial statements (in thousands).


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2021		2020
Finance right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations		$	—	$	—
Operating right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations		$	6,541	$	22

In addition to the Company's lease agreements that have previously commenced and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has entered into additional lease agreements that have not yet commenced. The Company entered into certain agreements with Patheon related to increasing its long-term production capacity for ARIKAYCE commercial inventory. The Company has determined that these agreements with Patheon contain an embedded lease for the manufacturing facility and the specialized equipment contained therein. Costs of $26.8 million incurred by the Company under these additional agreements have been classified within other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Upon the commencement date, prepaid costs and minimum guarantees specified in the agreement will be combined to establish an operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability.

8. Debt

In January 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of the Convertible Notes, in which the Company sold $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes, including the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional Convertible Notes of $50.0 million. The Company's net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of $14.2 million, were approximately $435.8 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2018. The Convertible Notes mature on January 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased.

On or after October 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding January 15, 2025, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time. Upon conversion, holders may receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's option. The initial conversion rate is 25.5384 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $39.16 per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes prior to October 15, 2024, only under the following circumstances, subject to the conditions set forth in an indenture, dated as of January 26, 2018, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo), as trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated January 26, 2018, between the Company and Wells Fargo (as supplemented, the Indenture): (i) during the five business day period immediately

Table of Contents

after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, as determined following a request by a holder of the convertible notes, for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day, (ii) the Company elects to distribute to all or substantially all holders of the common stock (a) any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan for so long as the rights issued under such plan have not detached from the associated shares of common stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days from the declaration date for such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the last reported sale prices of the common stock for the 10 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, or (b) the Company's assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the board of directors, exceeding 10% of the last reported sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, (iii) if a transaction or event that constitutes a fundamental change or a make-whole fundamental change occurs, or if the Company is a party to (a) a consolidation, merger, combination, statutory or binding share exchange or similar transaction, pursuant to which the common stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property or assets, or (b) any sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer or similar transaction in one transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, all or any portion of the Convertible Notes may be surrendered by a holder for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 30 scheduled trading days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction, (iv) if during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2018 (and only during such calendar quarter), the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day, or, (v) if the Company sends a notice of redemption, a holder may surrender all or any portion of its Convertible Notes, to which the notice of redemption relates, for conversion at any time on or after the date the applicable notice of redemption was sent until the close of business on (a) the second business day immediately preceding the related redemption date or (b) if the Company fails to pay the redemption price on the redemption date as specified in such notice of redemption, such later date on which the redemption price is paid.

The Convertible Notes can be settled in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock at the Company's option, and thus, the Company determined the embedded conversion options in the convertible notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative. However, since the Convertible Notes are within the scope of the accounting guidance for cash convertible instruments, the Company is required to separate the Convertible Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component as of the date of issuance was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that did not have an associated equity component. The fair value was based on data from readily available pricing sources which utilize market observable inputs and other characteristics for similar types of instruments. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the embedded conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the gross proceeds of the Convertible Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount is amortized to interest expense over the expected life of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component using the effective interest method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification in the accounting guidance for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The fair value of the liability component of the Convertible Notes on the date of issuance was estimated at $309.1 million using an effective interest rate of 7.6%, and accordingly, the residual equity component on the date of issuance was $140.9 million. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes and has a remaining period of approximately 3.79 years. The following table presents the carrying value of the Company's debt balance (in thousands):


	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
1.75% convertible senior notes due 2025	$	450,000	$	450,000

Table of Contents

employee directors. On May 16, 2019, upon the approval of the 2019 Incentive Plan by shareholders, 3,500,000 shares were authorized for issuance thereunder, plus any shares subject to then-outstanding awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan, the 2015 Incentive Plan and the 2013 Incentive Plan that subsequently were canceled, terminated unearned, expired, were forfeited, lapsed for any reason or were settled in cash without the delivery of shares. On May 12, 2020, at the Company's 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment of the 2019 Incentive Plan providing for the issuance of an additional 4,500,000 shares under the plan. The Company has submitted a proposal to its shareholders to approve a second amendment to the 2019 Incentive Plan at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The second amendment to the 2019 Incentive Plan, if approved, will provide for the issuance of an additional 2,750,000 shares. As of March 31, 2021, 3,794,909 shares remained for future issuance under the 2019 Incentive Plan. The 2019 Incentive Plan will terminate on May 16, 2029 unless it is extended or terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. In addition, from time to time, the Company makes inducement grants of stock options to new hires, which awards are made pursuant to the Nasdaq's inducement grant exception to the shareholder approval requirement for grants of equity compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted inducement stock options covering 87,790 shares of the Company's common stock to new employees.

On May 15, 2018, the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2018 ESPP) was approved by shareholders at the Company's 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Company has reserved the following for issuance under the 2018 ESPP: (i) 1,000,000 shares of common stock, plus (ii) commencing on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2023, an additional number of shares to be added on the first day of each calendar year equal to the lesser of (A) 1,200,000 shares of common stock, (B) 2% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock on such date and (C) an amount determined by the administrator.

Stock Options - As of March 31, 2021, there was $77.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. As of March 31, 2021, there were no performance-condition options outstanding.

Restricted Stock Units — As of March 31, 2021, there was $20.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

The following table summarizes the aggregate stock-based compensation expense recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss related to stock options and RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Research and development		$	3.7	$	2.8
Selling, general and administrative		6.8		6.2
Total		$	10.5	$	9.0

11. Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes was $0.2 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The provision for income taxes in all periods was primarily a result of certain of the Company's international subsidiaries, which had taxable income during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the Company is impacted by certain state taxes which effectively impose income tax on modified gross revenues. In jurisdictions where the Company has net losses, there was a full valuation allowance recorded against the Company's deferred tax assets and therefore no tax benefit was recorded.

The Company is subject to US federal and state income taxes and the statute of limitations for tax audit is open for the Company's federal tax returns for the years ended 2017 and later, and is generally open for certain states for the years 2016 and later. The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception, except for the year ended December 31, 2009. Such loss carryforwards would be subject to audit in any tax year in which those losses are utilized, notwithstanding the year of origin. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits against certain deferred tax assets in the US. However, given the Company’s valuation allowance position, these reserves do not have an impact on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 or the income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. The Company has not recorded any accrued interest or penalties related to

Table of Contents

uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate any material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

On March 27, 2020, the US government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) which includes numerous modifications to income tax provisions, including a limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions and the acceleration of alternative minimum tax credits. Given the Company's history of losses, the CARES Act did not impact its income tax positions.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Rent expense charged to operations was $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

OVERVIEW

We are a global biopharmaceutical company on a mission to transform the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases. Our first commercial product, ARIKAYCE, is approved in the United States as ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), in Europe as ARIKAYCE® Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion and in Japan as ARIKAYCE inhalation 590mg (amikacin sulfate inhalation drug product). ARIKAYCE received accelerated approval in the US in September 2018 for the treatment of MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options in a refractory setting. In October 2020, the EC approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. In March 2021, Japan's MHLW approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. NTM lung disease caused by MAC (which we refer to as MAC lung disease) is a rare and often chronic infection that can cause irreversible lung damage and can be fatal.

Our clinical-stage pipeline includes brensocatib and TPIP. Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of DPP1, which we are developing for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis and other neutrophil-mediated diseases. TPIP is an inhaled formulation of the treprostinil prodrug treprostinil palmitil which may offer a differentiated product profile for PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders.

The table below summarizes the current status and anticipated milestones for ARIKAYCE and our product candidates brensocatib and TPIP.

Next Expected Milestones

Brensocatib (oral reversible inhibitor of DPP1) for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) and other inflammatory diseases

• In June 2020, we announced full results from our global, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2 WILLOW study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of brensocatib administered once daily in adults with NCFBE. Final results from the WILLOW study were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine in September 2020.

• Full results for the WILLOW study reflect that the study met its primary endpoint of time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 24-week treatment period for both the 10 mg and 25 mg dosage groups of brensocatib compared to placebo (p=0.027, p=0.044, respectively). In addition, treatment with 10mg brensocatib resulted in a significant reduction in the rate of pulmonary exacerbations, a key secondary endpoint. Patients treated with brensocatib experienced a 36% reduction in the 10 mg arm (p=0.041) and a 25% reduction in the 25 mg arm (p=0.167) versus placebo.

• In June 2020, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation for brensocatib for the treatment of adult patients with NCFBE for reducing exacerbations.

• In November 2020, brensocatib was granted access to the Priority Medicines (PRIME) scheme from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for patients with NCFBE.

• In December 2020, we commenced a Phase 3 trial (the ASPEN trial) through which we will seek to confirm the positive results seen in the WILLOW study. We are currently enrolling patients for this trial, which is designed to investigate brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis. The primary endpoint is the rate of pulmonary exacerbations over a 52-week treatment period. Patients with bronchiectasis due to CF may not be enrolled in the trial.

• We will continue to advance the ASPEN trial, to seek to confirm the positive results seen in the WILLOW trial and to support a new drug application (NDA) for brensocatib for the treatment of adult patients with bronchiectasis.

• We also plan to advance a clinical development program for brensocatib in CF and plan to initiate a pharmacokinetics study in CF patients in mid-2021.

• We plan to explore the potential of brensocatib in additional neutrophil-mediated diseases in 2021.

• In April 2020, we announced that we would provide funding and clinical drug supply for the STOP-COVID19 (Superiority Trial of Protease inhibition in COVID-19) trial, a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled investigator-initiated study of brensocatib in approximately 400 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection) sponsored by the University of Dundee. The study has completed enrollment.

TPIP (inhalation formulation of a treprostinil prodrug) for PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders

• In December 2020, we completed dosing of subjects in a Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TPIP.

• In February 2021, we announced topline results from the Phase 1 study of TPIP in healthy volunteers. Data from the study demonstrated that TPIP was generally well tolerated, with a pharmacokinetic profile that supports continued development with once-daily dosing.

• We plan to present additional data from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial of TPIP at an upcoming medical meeting.

• We plan to advance the development of TPIP with two studies in patients with PAH. The first is an open-label, proof-of-mechanism study to understand the impact of TPIP on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) over a 24-hour period. We anticipate sharing preliminary data from this study in the second half of 2021. The second will aim to investigate the effect of TPIP on PVR and 6-minute walk distance over a 16-week treatment period using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule. We plan to initiate this trial in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Our earlier-stage pipeline includes preclinical compounds that we are evaluating in multiple rare diseases with unmet medical need. To complement our internal research and development, we actively evaluate in-licensing and acquisition opportunities for a broad range of rare diseases.

Our Strategy

Our strategy focuses on the needs of patients with rare diseases. We secured accelerated approval for ARIKAYCE from the FDA for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease in patients with limited or no alternative treatment options, and currently are primarily focused on the successful commercialization of ARIKAYCE. In Europe, we recently secured EC approval of ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis. We also recently secured Japan's MHLW approval of ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. We are not aware of any other approved inhaled therapies specifically indicated to treat MAC lung disease in North America, Europe or Japan. We believe that ARIKAYCE has the potential to prove beneficial in other patients with MAC. Our product candidates are brensocatib, our Phase 3 product candidate which we are developing for patients with bronchiectasis and potentially other neutrophil-mediated diseases, and TPIP, our product candidate that may offer a differentiated product profile for patients with PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders. We are also advancing earlier-stage programs in other rare disorders.

Our current priorities are as follows:

•Continue our efforts to ensure the successful commercialization of ARIKAYCE;

•Develop and validate a PRO tool for NTM lung disease to be used in, among other trials, the ENCORE trial required for the full US approval of ARIKAYCE by the FDA in patients with MAC lung disease;

•Continue our expansion efforts in Europe to support commercial activities for ARIKAYCE in the region;

•Continue our expansion efforts in Japan to support pre-commercial and commercial activities in the country;

•Ensure our product supply chain will support the global commercialization and potential future lifecycle management programs of ARIKAYCE;

•Develop a core value dossier to support payor reimbursement for ARIKAYCE in Japan;

•Maintain or obtain determinations of coverage and reimbursement in the US and Europe for ARIKAYCE from governmental and other third-party payors;

•Support further research and lifecycle management strategies for ARIKAYCE, including the potential use of ARIKAYCE as part of a frontline, multi-drug regimen;

•Advance brensocatib, including in the Phase 3 ASPEN trial in patients with bronchiectasis;

•Advance the Phase 2 TPIP development program;

•Generate preclinical findings from our earlier-stage programs; and

•Expand our pipeline through corporate development.

ARIKAYCE for Patients with MAC Lung Disease

ARIKAYCE is our first approved product. ARIKAYCE received accelerated approval in the US in September 2018 for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options. In October 2020, ARIKAYCE received approval in Europe for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. In March 2021, ARIKAYCE received approval in Japan for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. MAC lung disease is a rare and often chronic infection that can cause irreversible lung damage and can be fatal. Amikacin solution for parenteral administration is an established drug that has activity against a variety of NTM; however, its use is limited by the need to administer it intravenously and by toxicity to hearing, balance, and kidney function. Unlike amikacin solution for intravenous administration, our proprietary Pulmovance™ technology uses charge-neutral liposomes to deliver amikacin directly to the lungs where liposomal amikacin is taken up by the lung macrophages where the MAC infection resides. This technology also prolongs the release of amikacin in the lungs, while minimizing systemic exposure, thereby offering the potential for decreased systemic toxicities. ARIKAYCE's ability to deliver high levels of amikacin directly to the lung and sites of MAC infection via the use of our Pulmovance technology, distinguishes it from intravenous amikacin. ARIKAYCE is administered once-daily, using Lamira, an inhalation device developed and

manufactured by PARI. Lamira is a portable nebulizer that enables aerosolization of liquid medications via a vibrating, perforated membrane, and was designed specifically for ARIKAYCE delivery.

The FDA has designated ARIKAYCE as an orphan drug and a QIDP for NTM lung disease. Orphan designated drugs are eligible for seven years of exclusivity for the orphan indication. QIDP designation features an additional five years of exclusivity for the designated indication. The FDA granted a total of 12 years of exclusivity in the indication for which ARIKAYCE was approved.

ARIKAYCE also has been included in the international treatment guidelines for NTM lung disease. The evidence-based guidelines, issued by the American Thoracic Society (ATS), European Respiratory Society (ERS), European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), and Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), now strongly recommend the use of ARIKAYCE for MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options who have failed to convert to a negative sputum culture after at least six months of treatment.

In October 2020, the FDA approved an sNDA for ARIKAYCE, adding important efficacy data regarding the durability and sustainability of culture conversion to the ARIKAYCE label. The data, which are from the Phase 3 CONVERT study of ARIKAYCE, demonstrate that the addition of ARIKAYCE to GBT was associated with sustained culture conversion through the end of treatment as well as durable culture conversion three months post-treatment compared with GBT alone.

Accelerated Approval

In March 2018, we submitted an NDA for ARIKAYCE to the FDA to request accelerated approval. Accelerated approval allows drugs that (i) are being developed to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and (ii) provide a meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing treatments to be approved substantially based on an intermediate endpoint or a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, rather than a clinical endpoint such as survival or irreversible morbidity. In September 2018, the FDA granted accelerated approval for ARIKAYCE under the Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (LPAD) for the treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen for adult patients with limited or no alternative treatment options via the accelerated approval pathway. LPAD, which was enacted as part of the 21st Century Cures Act, serves to advance the development of new antibacterial drugs to treat serious or life-threatening infections in limited populations of patients with unmet needs. As required for drugs approved under the LPAD pathway, labeling for ARIKAYCE includes certain statements to convey that the drug has been shown to be safe and effective only for use in a limited population.

As a condition of accelerated approval, we must conduct a post-approval confirmatory clinical trial. In December 2020, we commenced the post-approval confirmatory frontline clinical trial program for ARIKAYCE in patients with MAC lung disease. The frontline clinical trial program consists of the ARISE trial, an interventional study designed to validate cross-sectional and longitudinal characteristics of a PRO tool in MAC lung disease, and the ENCORE trial, designed to establish the clinical benefits and evaluate the safety of ARIKAYCE in patients with newly diagnosed MAC lung disease using the PRO tool validated in the ARISE trial. We are running these global studies in parallel and approximately 200 sites are expected to be initiated for these clinical trials. The frontline clinical program is intended to fulfill the FDA’s post-marketing requirement to allow for full approval of ARIKAYCE by the FDA, and verification and description of clinical benefit in the ENCORE trial will be necessary for full approval of ARIKAYCE.

Regulatory Pathway Outside of the US

In October 2020, the EC granted marketing authorization for ARIKAYCE for the treatment of NTM lung infections caused by MAC in adults with limited treatment options who do not have CF. We have launched ARIKAYCE in Germany and the Netherlands, and plan to launch in other European Union (EU) countries and the UK, subject to local reimbursement processes.

In March 2021, Japan's MHLW approved ARIKAYCE for the treatment of patients with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment with a multidrug regimen. We anticipate launching ARIKAYCE in Japan in the middle of 2021.

Further Research and Lifecycle Management

Table of Contents

We are currently exploring and supporting research and lifecycle management programs for ARIKAYCE beyond treatment of refractory MAC lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial regimen for adult patients who have limited or no treatment options. As noted above, we will continue to advance the post-approval confirmatory, frontline clinical trial program for ARIKAYCE, through the ARISE trial and the ENCORE trial, which are intended to fulfill the FDA's post-marketing requirement to allow for the full approval of ARIKAYCE in the US, as well as to support the use of ARIKAYCE as a frontline treatment for patients with MAC lung disease in the US, Europe and Japan.

The ARISE trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3b study in adult patients with newly diagnosed MAC lung disease that aims to generate evidence demonstrating the domain specification, reliability, validity, and responsiveness of PRO-based scores, including a respiratory symptom score. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive ARIKAYCE plus background regimen or placebo plus background regimen once daily for six months. Patients will then discontinue all study treatments and remain in the trial for one month for the continued assessment of PRO endpoints. The study is currently enrolling patients, and is expected to enroll approximately 100 patients.

The ENCORE trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3b study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an ARIKAYCE-based regimen in patients with newly diagnosed MAC lung disease. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive ARIKAYCE plus background regimen or placebo plus background regimen once daily for 12 months. Patients will then discontinue all study treatments and remain in the trial for three months for the assessment of durability of culture conversion. The primary endpoint is change from baseline to Month 13 in respiratory symptom score. The key secondary endpoint is the proportion of subjects achieving durable culture conversion at Month 15. The study is currently enrolling patients, and is expected to enroll approximately 250 patients.

We initiated the frontline clinical trial program of ARIKAYCE in December 2020 and are running the ARISE and ENCORE trials in parallel in approximately 200 sites.

Subsequent lifecycle management studies could also potentially enable us to reach more patients. These initiatives include investigator-initiated studies, which are clinical studies initiated and sponsored by physicians or research institutions with funding from us and may also include new clinical studies sponsored by us.

Product Pipeline

Brensocatib

Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of DPP1, which we licensed from AstraZeneca in October 2016. DPP1 is an enzyme responsible for activating neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) in neutrophils when they are formed in the bone marrow. Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cell and play an essential role in pathogen destruction and inflammatory mediation. Neutrophils contain the NSPs (including neutrophil elastase, proteinase 3, and cathepsin G) that have been implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases. In chronic inflammatory lung diseases, neutrophils accumulate in the airways and result in excessive active NSPs that cause lung destruction and inflammation. Brensocatib may decrease the damaging effects of inflammatory diseases such as bronchiectasis by inhibiting DPP1 and its activation of NSPs.

Bronchiectasis is a severe, chronic pulmonary disorder in which the bronchi become permanently dilated due to a cycle of infection, inflammation, and lung tissue damage. The condition is marked by frequent pulmonary exacerbations requiring antibiotic therapy and/or hospitalizations. Symptoms include chronic cough, excessive sputum production, shortness of breath, and repeated respiratory infections, which can worsen the underlying condition. Bronchiectasis affects approximately 340,000 to 520,000 patients in the US, and reports suggest that bronchiectasis may affect approximately 350,000 to 500,000 patients in the European 5 and one to five million patients in the Asia-Pacific region. Today, there are no approved therapies in the US, Europe, or Japan for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis.

Based on the positive results of the WILLOW study discussed below, in December 2020 we commenced our Phase 3 trial, ASPEN, which will investigate brensocatib in bronchiectasis. ASPEN is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis. Patients with bronchiectasis due to CF may not be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive brensocatib 10 mg, brensocatib 25 mg, or placebo once daily for 52 weeks. The primary endpoint is the rate of pulmonary exacerbations over the 52-week treatment period. Secondary endpoints include time to first pulmonary exacerbation, percentage of subjects who remain pulmonary exacerbation-free, change from baseline in post-bronchodilator FEV1, rate of severe pulmonary exacerbations, change from baseline in the Bronchiectasis (QOL-B) Respiratory Symptoms Domain Score, and incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs). This study is currently enrolling patients, and is expected to enroll approximately 1,620 patients (540 in each arm) at approximately 480 sites in 40 countries.

Table of Contents

In March 2020, AstraZeneca exercised its first option pursuant to our October 2016 license agreement under which AstraZeneca can advance clinical development of brensocatib in the indications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. Under the terms of the agreement, upon exercise of this option, AstraZeneca is solely responsible for all aspects of the development of brensocatib up to and including Phase 2b clinical trials in COPD or asthma. The agreement also includes a second and final option which, if exercised, would permit AstraZeneca to further develop brensocatib beyond Phase 2b clinical trials upon reaching agreement on commercial terms satisfactory to each party for the further development and commercialization of brensocatib in COPD or asthma. We retain full development and commercialization rights for brensocatib in all other indications and geographies.

In June 2020, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation for brensocatib for the treatment of adult patients with NCFBE for reducing exacerbations. The FDA's breakthrough therapy designation is designed to expedite the development and review of therapies that are intended to treat serious or life-threatening diseases and for which preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy. The benefits of breakthrough therapy designation include more frequent communication and meetings with FDA, eligibility for rolling and priority review, intensive guidance on an efficient drug development program, and organizational commitment from the FDA involving senior managers. In November 2020, brensocatib was granted access to the PRIME scheme from the EMA for patients with NCFBE.

The WILLOW Study

The WILLOW study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center, multi-national, Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of brensocatib administered once daily for 24 weeks in patients with NCFBE. The WILLOW study was conducted at 116 sites and enrolled 256 adult patients diagnosed with NCFBE who had at least two documented pulmonary exacerbations in the 12 months prior to screening. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive either 10 mg or 25 mg of brensocatib or matching placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 24-week treatment period in the brensocatib arms compared to the placebo arm.

WILLOW Efficacy Data

We announced topline data for the WILLOW study in February 2020 and full data for the WILLOW study in June 2020. In September 2020, final results from the WILLOW study were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. The data demonstrate that the WILLOW study met its primary endpoint of time to first pulmonary exacerbation over the 24-week treatment period for both the 10 mg and 25 mg dosage groups of brensocatib compared to placebo (p=0.027, p=0.044, respectively). The risk of exacerbation at any time during the trial was reduced by 42% for the 10 mg group versus placebo (HR 0.58, p=0.029) and by 38% for the 25 mg group versus placebo (HR 0.62, p=0.046). In addition, treatment with brensocatib 10 mg resulted in a significant reduction in the rate of pulmonary exacerbations, a key secondary endpoint, versus placebo. Specifically, patients treated with brensocatib experienced a 36% reduction in the 10 mg arm (p=0.041) and a 25% reduction in the 25 mg arm (p=0.167) versus placebo. Change in concentration of active NE in sputum versus placebo from baseline to the end of the treatment period was also statistically significant (p=0.034 for 10 mg, p=0.021 for 25 mg).

WILLOW Safety and Tolerability Data

Brensocatib was generally well-tolerated in the study. Rates of AEs leading to discontinuation in patients treated with placebo, brensocatib 10 mg, and brensocatib 25 mg were 10.6%, 7.4%, and 6.7%, respectively. The most common AEs in patients treated with brensocatib were cough, headache, sputum increase, dyspnea, fatigue, and upper respiratory tract infection. Rates of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) in patients treated with placebo, brensocatib 10 mg, and brensocatib 25 mg, respectively, were as follows: rates of skin events (including hyperkeratosis) were 11.8%, 14.8%, and 23.6%; rates of dental events were 3.5%, 16.0%, and 10.1%; and rates of infections that were considered AESIs were 17.6%, 13.6%, and 16.9%.

Further Research and Development

In August 2019, we received notice from the FDA that we were awarded a development grant of $1.8 million for specific work to be performed on a PRO tool. The grant funding is for the development of a novel PRO tool for use in clinical trials to measure symptoms in patients with NCFBE with and without NTM lung infection.

We are advancing a clinical development program for brensocatib in CF and plan to initiate a pharmacokinetics study in CF patients in mid-2021. We are also exploring the potential of brensocatib in various neutrophil-driven inflammatory conditions.

Investigator-Initiated Study in Patients with Severe COVID-19

In April 2020, we announced we would provide funding and clinical drug supply for the STOP-COVID19 trial, an investigator-initiated study of brensocatib in hospitalized patients in the UK with COVID-19 sponsored by the University of Dundee.

The STOP-COVID19 trial is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of brensocatib in patients with severe COVID-19. The multicenter study enrolled approximately 400 patients at 10 sites in the UK who presented to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 and were at risk of needing increased levels of supplemental oxygen and/or ventilation. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either brensocatib 25 mg once daily or matching placebo on top of standard of care. The primary endpoint is clinical improvement on a seven-point ordinal scale as defined by the World Health Organization. Patients were treated for up to 28 days. Enrollment of the STOP-COVID19 trial has been completed and results are expected to be shared in the second quarter of 2021.

Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder

TPIP is an investigational inhaled formulation of treprostinil prodrug that has the potential to address certain of the current limitations of existing prostanoid therapies. We believe that TPIP prolongs duration of effect and may provide PAH patients with greater consistency in pulmonary arterial pressure reduction over time. Current inhaled prostanoid therapies must be dosed four to nine times per day for the treatment of PAH. Reducing dose frequency has the potential to ease patient burden and improve compliance. Additionally, we believe that TPIP may be associated with fewer side effects, including severity and/or frequency of cough, headache, throat irritation, nausea, flushing and dizziness that are associated with high initial drug levels and local upper airway exposure when using current inhaled prostanoid therapies. We believe TPIP may offer a differentiated product profile for PAH and other rare pulmonary disorders.

In February 2021, we announced topline results from the Phase 1 study of TPIP in healthy volunteers. The objective of this first-in-human single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose study was to assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerability profile of TPIP. Data from the study demonstrated that TPIP was generally well tolerated, with a pharmacokinetic profile that supports continued development with once-daily dosing. The most common AEs across all cohorts in the study were cough, dizziness, headache, and nausea. Most AEs were mild in severity and consistent in nature with those typically seen with other inhaled prostanoid therapies. There were few moderate AEs and no severe or serious AEs. Subjects in the multiple dose panel that incorporated an up-titration approach beginning at 112.5 µg once-daily and progressing to 225 µg once-daily reported fewer AEs compared to the panel dosed with 225 µg once-daily from the first dose.

Overall pharmacokinetic results demonstrated that treprostinil exposure (AUC and Cmax) was dose-proportional, with low to moderate inter-subject variability. Treprostinil was detected in the plasma at 24 hours at all doses and throughout the 48-hour sampling period for the two highest doses. Compared with currently available inhaled treprostinil therapy, TPIP showed substantially lower Cmax and longer half-life. We plan to present additional data from this study at an upcoming medical meeting.

We plan to advance the development of TPIP with two studies in patients with PAH. The first is an open-label, proof-of-mechanism study to understand the impact of TPIP on PVR over a 24-hour period. We anticipate sharing preliminary data from a small number of patients from this study in the second half of 2021. The second will aim to investigate the effect of TPIP on PVR and 6-minute walk distance over a 16-week treatment period using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule. We plan to initiate this trial in the fourth quarter of 2021. Beyond PAH, we continue to explore potential development pathways for TPIP in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and plan to initiate a study in patients with PH-ILD using an up-titration, once-daily dosing schedule.

Corporate Development

We plan to continue to develop, acquire, in license or co-promote other products, product candidates and technologies, including those that address rare diseases. We are focused broadly on rare disease therapeutics and prioritizing those areas that best align with our core competencies.

KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Product Revenues, Net

Product revenues, net, consist primarily of net sales of ARIKAYCE in the US and Europe. In October 2018, we began

Table of Contents

shipping ARIKAYCE to our customers in the US, which include specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors. In December 2020 and February 2021, we began commercial sales of ARIKAYCE in Germany and the Netherlands, respectively. We recognize revenue for product received by our customers net of allowances for customer credits, including prompt pay discounts, service fees, estimated rebates, including government rebates, such as Medicaid rebates and Medicare Part D coverage gap reimbursements in the US, chargebacks and returns.

Cost of Product Revenues (Excluding Amortization of Intangible Assets)

Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangible assets) consist primarily of direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing of ARIKAYCE sold, including third-party manufacturing costs, packaging services, freight, and allocation of overhead costs, in addition to royalty expenses and revenue-based milestones. We began capitalizing inventory upon FDA approval of ARIKAYCE. All costs related to inventory for ARIKAYCE prior to FDA approval were expensed as incurred and therefore not included in cost of product revenues.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses

R&D expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel serving in our research and development functions, including medical affairs and program management. R&D expense also includes other internal operating expenses, the cost of manufacturing product candidates, including the medical devices for drug delivery, for clinical study, the cost of conducting clinical studies, and the cost of conducting preclinical and research activities. In addition, R&D expenses include payments to third parties for the license rights to products in development (prior to marketing approval), such as brensocatib. Our R&D expenses related to manufacturing our product candidates and medical devices for clinical study are primarily related to activities at contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that manufacture brensocatib and TPIP. Our R&D expenses related to clinical trials are primarily related to activities at contract research organizations (CROs) that conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. These contracts with CROs set forth the scope of work to be completed at a fixed fee or amount per patient enrolled. Payments under these contracts with CROs primarily depend on performance criteria such as the successful enrollment of patients or the completion of clinical trial milestones as well as time-based fees. Expenses are accrued based on contracted amounts applied to the level of patient enrollment and to activity according to the clinical trial protocol. Deposits for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are then recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

SG&A expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for our non-employee directors and personnel serving in our executive, finance and accounting, legal and compliance, commercial and pre-commercial, corporate development, field sales, information technology and human resource functions. SG&A expenses also include professional fees for legal services, consulting services, including commercial activities, insurance, board of director fees, tax and accounting services and certain milestones related to ARIKAYCE.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Upon commercialization of ARIKAYCE, our intangible assets began to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The fair values assigned to our intangible assets are based on estimates and assumptions we believe are reasonable based on available facts and circumstances. Unanticipated events or circumstances may occur that require us to review the assets for impairment.

Investment Income and Interest Expense

Investment income consists of interest and dividend income earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Interest expense consists primarily of the accretion of debt discount, contractual interest costs and the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our accretion of debt. Debt discount is accreted, and debt issuance costs are amortized, to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debt. Our balance sheet reflects debt, net of the debt discount, debt issuance costs paid to the lender, and other third-party costs. Unamortized debt issuance costs associated with extinguished debt are expensed in the period of the extinguishment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COVID-19 Update

Table of Contents

We are committed to the safety and well-being of our workforce. In March 2020, we implemented a number of corporate initiatives in response to the novel coronavirus global pandemic which manifests as COVID-19. These initiatives included a remote working policy for all employees in order to aid the global containment effort and allow infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists to focus exclusively on treating patients and containing the virus. The policy included all of the field-based therapeutic specialists and employees who support ARIKAYCE prescribers. Beginning on June 1, 2020, certain of our field-based employees who support ARIKAYCE prescribers were permitted to return to the field on a voluntary basis. To date, access to prescribers has been limited with significant regional variability. Our Arikares® trainers are continuing to offer remote training for patients who initiate treatment with ARIKAYCE. While we continue to see use of ARIKAYCE, including new patient adds and continued prescription renewals, there remains a general uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the ARIKAYCE patient population and physicians. Patients suffering from refractory NTM lung disease are typically older individuals with underlying lung conditions, and are often treated by infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists. These treating physicians are on the front lines in addressing this pandemic and must now, understandably, focus their attention on COVID-19.

There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our patients, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. While the pandemic did not materially affect our financial results and business operations through the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. We will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will make adjustments to our operations as necessary.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Overview - Operating Results

Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, included the following:

•Product revenues, net, increased $3.4 million as compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the increase in ARIKAYCE sales;

•Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangibles) increased $1.4 million as compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the decrease in the sale of inventory for which the cost was incurred prior to FDA approval of ARIKAYCE, as well as the increased sales of ARIKAYCE;

•Increased R&D expenses of $25.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily resulting from increases in clinical development and research costs for our ongoing clinical trials;

•Increased SG&A expenses of $0.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year resulting from increases in compensation and benefit related expenses;

•Amortization of intangible assets of $1.3 million was consistent with the same period in the prior year; and

•Increased interest expense of $0.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year related to the accretion of debt discount for our debt.

Product Revenues, Net

Product revenues, net, consists of net sales of ARIKAYCE. The following table summarizes the sources of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Increase (decrease)
	2021			2020			$		%
Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangibles)	$	9,844		$	8,438		$	1,406	16.7	%
Cost of product revenues, as % of revenues	24.5		%	22.9		%

Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangibles) increased to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $8.4 million in the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangibles) in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was directly attributable to a decrease in the sale of inventory for which the cost was incurred prior to FDA approval of ARIKAYCE and the increase in total revenues discussed above. All product costs incurred prior to FDA approval of ARIKAYCE in September 2018 were expensed as R&D expenses.

R&D Expenses

R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were comprised of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase (decrease)
	2021		2020		$		%

Total	$	61,390	$	36,184	$	25,206	69.7	%

R&D expenses increased to $61.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $36.2 million in the same period in 2020. The $25.2 million increase was primarily due to a $15.9 million increase in clinical development and research costs related to the initiation of the ARIKAYCE frontline clinical trial program and the Phase 3 ASPEN trial of brensocatib. The increase was also due to a $5.6 million increase in compensation and benefit related expenses and stock-based compensation due to an increase in headcount as well as a $4.3 million increase in manufacturing expenses to support ongoing clinical trials.

External R&D expenses by product for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were comprised of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase (decrease)
	2021		2020		$		%
ARIKAYCE external R&D expenses	$	14,640	$	8,260	$	6,380	77.2	%
Brensocatib external R&D expenses	9,597		5,598		3,999		71.4	%

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were comprised of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase (decrease)
	2021		2020		$		%
Compensation and benefit related expenses	$	21,753	$	16,989	$	4,764	28.0	%
Stock-based compensation	6,850		6,161		689		11.2	%
Professional fees and other external expenses	16,963		21,736		(4,773)		(22.0)	%

Total SG&A expenses	$	51,550	$	51,346	$	204	0.4	%

SG&A expenses increased to $51.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $51.3 million in the same period in 2020. The $0.2 million increase was primarily due to a $5.5 million increase in compensation and benefit related expenses and stock-based compensation due to an increase in headcount. This increase was mostly offset by a $4.8 million decrease in professional fees and other external expenses resulting from the reduction of certain commercial activities in the current quarter due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is comprised of amortization of acquired ARIKAYCE R&D and amortization of the milestones paid to PARI for the FDA and EC approvals of ARIKAYCE.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $7.4 million in the same period in 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

There is considerable time and cost associated with developing potential pharmaceutical products to the point of regulatory approval and commercialization. We commenced commercial shipments of ARIKAYCE in October 2018. We expect to continue to incur consolidated operating losses, including losses at our US and certain international entities, as we plan to fund R&D for ARIKAYCE, brensocatib, TPIP and our other pipeline programs, continue pre-commercial, commercialization and regulatory activities for ARIKAYCE, and other general and administrative activities.

In February 2021, we entered into a sales agreement with SVB Leerink, to sell shares of our common stock, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $250.0 million, from time to time, through an ATM program, under which SVB Leerink acts as sales agent. As of March 31, 2021, we had not sold or issued any shares under the ATM program.

In the second quarter of 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 11,155,000 shares of our common stock, including 1,455,000 shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $23.25 per share. Our net proceeds from the sale of the shares, after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $13.5 million, were $245.9 million.

We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, including continued commercialization of ARIKAYCE and future clinical trials related to ARIKAYCE, to design and conduct ongoing and future clinical trials for brensocatib and TPIP, and to develop, acquire, in-license or co-promote other products or product candidates, including those that address orphan or rare diseases. We believe we currently have sufficient funds to meet our financial needs for at least the next 12 months. We expect to opportunistically raise additional capital and may do so through equity or debt financing(s), strategic transactions or otherwise. We expect such additional funding, if any, would be used to continue to commercialize ARIKAYCE, to conduct further trials of ARIKAYCE, to develop brensocatib, TPIP and our other product candidates, or to pursue the license

Table of Contents

or purchase of other technologies or products and product candidates. During 2021, we plan to continue to support the commercialization of ARIKAYCE in the US and Europe, to continue to fund further clinical development of ARIKAYCE, brensocatib and TPIP, and to fund our global expansion efforts to support commercial launch activities in additional countries in Europe and commercial and pre-commercial activities in Japan. Our cash requirements for the next 12 months will be impacted by a number of factors, the most significant of which we expect to be expenses related to our commercialization efforts and our ARISE and ENCORE clinical trials for ARIKAYCE, expenses related to the ASPEN trial and other development activities for brensocatib, and to a lesser extent, expenses related to the clinical development of TPIP.

Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $409.8 million, as compared with $532.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The $123.0 million decrease was primarily due to cash used in operating activities. Our working capital was $419.6 million as of March 31, 2021 as compared with $504.1 million as of December 31, 2020.

Net cash used in operating activities was $128.3 million and $57.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was primarily for the commercial, clinical and manufacturing activities related to ARIKAYCE, as well as other SG&A expenses and clinical trial expenses related to brensocatib. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 was primarily due to the increase in R&D expense to support our ongoing clinical trials. The increase was also due to the net change in working capital, driven primarily by increases in other assets from deposits to our CRO for our recently initiated clinical trials and the $12.5 million milestone payment to AstraZeneca related to the first dosing in our Phase 3 ASPEN trial, as well as other decreases in accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for purchases of fixed assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were primarily due to cash proceeds from stock option exercises and our employee stock purchase plan.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from those disclosed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do not have any interest in special purpose entities, structured finance entities or other variable interest entities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20 20. For the required interim disclosure updates related to our accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were in cash accounts and money market funds. Our investments in money market funds are not insured by the federal government.

As of March 31, 2021, we had $450.0 million of Convertible Notes outstanding which bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.75%. If a 10% change in interest rates had occurred on March 31, 2021, it would not have had a material effect on the fair value of our debt as of that date, nor would it have had a material effect on our future earnings or cash flows.

Table of Contents

The majority of our business is conducted in US dollars. However, we do conduct certain transactions in other currencies, including Euros, British Pounds, and Japanese Yen. Historically, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have not materially affected our results of operations and during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our results of operations were not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure 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. Based on that evaluation as of March 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings in evaluating our business, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. Any of the risks and uncertainties described below and in our other filings with the SEC, either alone or taken together, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects for growth, and the value of an investment in our common stock.
