We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

potential market opportunities. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Our estimates of the potential market opportunity for KPI-012 include several key assumptions based on our industry knowledge, industry publications, third-party research and other surveys, which may be based on a small sample size and may fail to accurately reflect market opportunities. While we believe that our internal assumptions are reasonable, no independent source has verified such assumptions.

Risk Factor Summary

Our business is subject to a number of risks that if realized could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and access to liquidity. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our principal risks include the following:

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

​

Nature of Business— Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 7, 2009, and is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare and severe diseases of the eye.

On November 15, 2021, the Company and its newly formed, direct wholly owned subsidiary, Ceres Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Subsidiary”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Combangio, Inc. (“Combangio”) and Fortis Advisors LLC, solely in its capacity as Combangio Equityholder Representative in connection with the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which on November 15, 2021, the Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Combangio with Combangio surviving such merger and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Combangio Acquisition”). In connection with the Combangio Acquisition, the Company acquired Combangio’s mesenchymal stem cell secretomes (“MSC-S”) platform, including its lead product candidate for the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects (“PCED”), which the Company refers to as KPI-012. PCED is a rare disease of impaired corneal healing. The Company submitted an investigational new drug application (“IND”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (“FDA”), which was accepted in December 2022. In February 2023, the Company dosed its first patient in the CHASE (“Corneal Healing After SEcretome therapy”) Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 for PCED in the United States. KPI-012 has received both Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA for the treatment of PCED. The Company expects to commercialize in the United States any of its product candidates that receive marketing approval.

In connection with the determination to focus its research and development efforts on KPI-012, in 2022, the Company ceased the development of its preclinical pipeline programs that are unrelated to its MSC-S platform, including the development of KPI-287, its receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and its selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators.

The Company previously developed and commercialized two marketed products, EYSUVIS^® (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension) 0.25%, for the short-term (up to two weeks) treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease, and INVELTYS^® (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension) 1%, a topical twice-a-day ocular steroid for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. Both products applied a proprietary mucus-penetrating particle drug delivery technology, which the Company referred to as the AMPPLIFY^® Drug Delivery Technology. On July 8, 2022, the Company closed the transaction (the “Alcon Transaction”), contemplated by the asset purchase agreement, dated as of May 21, 2022 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company, Alcon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and Alcon Vision, LLC (together referred to as “Alcon”), pursuant to which Alcon purchased the rights to manufacture, sell, distribute, market and commercialize EYSUVIS and INVELTYS and to develop, manufacture, market and otherwise exploit the Company’s AMPPLIFY Drug Delivery Technology (collectively, the “Commercial Business”). Alcon also assumed certain liabilities with respect to the Commercial Business at the closing of the Alcon Transaction. See Note 3, “Sale of Commercial Business to Alcon”, for additional information about the Alcon Transaction.

The Company’s success is dependent upon its ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval for and commercialize KPI-012 and any other product candidate it may develop in the future, the success of its research and development efforts, whether it receives any commercial-based sales milestone payments from Alcon, its ability to raise additional capital when needed and, ultimately, attain profitable operations.

​

Reverse Stock Split— On October 20, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company’s shares of common stock either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 50 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par

11

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next whole number. The number of authorized shares of common stock under the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, remained unchanged at 120,000,000 shares. All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, and the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Liquidity— Since inception, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations including a net loss of $14,455 and $32,941, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and cash used in operating activities of $9,684 and $24,089, in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $601,665. As the Company commenced a full promotional launch of EYSUVIS in early January 2021 and commercially launched its first product, INVELTYS, in January 2019, the Company generated only limited revenues from product sales prior to the sale of the Commercial Business to Alcon in July 2022. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through proceeds from the sale of the Commercial Business to Alcon, its initial public offering of common stock, follow-on public common stock offerings and sales of its common stock under its at-the-market offering facility, private placements of common stock and preferred stock (including the Company’s private placement of common stock and preferred stock for gross proceeds of approximately $31.0 million in December 2022 (the “Private Placement”)), borrowings under credit facilities and the Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford Finance”), convertible promissory notes and warrants. The Company has devoted substantially all of its financial resources and efforts to research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials, and, prior to the sale of the Commercial Business to Alcon in July 2022, engaging in activities to launch and commercialize EYSUVIS and INVELTYS. As a result of the Combangio Acquisition and the sale of the Commercial Business to Alcon, the Company is devoting substantial financial resources to the research and development and potential commercialization of KPI-012. The Company has no revenue-generating commercial products and, as a result of the Combangio Acquisition, may be required to pay certain milestones and royalty payments to former equityholders of Combangio. Although the Company is eligible to receive up to $325,000 in payments from Alcon based upon the achievement of specified commercial sales-based milestones with respect to EYSUVIS and INVELTYS, there can be no assurance when the Company may receive such milestone payments or of the amount of milestone payments the Company may receive, if any. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, including in connection with its continued development, regulatory approval efforts and commercialization, if any, of KPI-012. The Company may never achieve or maintain profitability. Net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2023, will enable it to fund its operating expenses, lease and debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. This evaluation is based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. To the extent these conditions or events change, the Company could deplete its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects.

​

COVID-19— The Company does not know the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact its development of KPI-012 or any other product candidate it develops. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Company’s revenues from INVELTYS. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has generally had an adverse impact on the launch of pharmaceutical products, and the Company believes the pandemic impacted the launch of EYSUVIS. The Company cannot predict whether the COVID-19 pandemic will impact Alcon’s ability to commercialize EYSUVIS and INVELTYS, and as a result, it cannot be certain whether the COVID-19 pandemic might adversely affect when the

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Company may receive milestone payments from Alcon, which milestone payments the Company may receive and if the Company will receive any milestone payments at all. Any impact of COVID-19 on Alcon’s commercialization efforts of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS, the Company’s development of KPI-012 and any other product candidate it may develop in the future and the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain future developments, including the length and severity of the pandemic, the timing and extent of any resurgence of the COVID-19 virus or any variant strains of the virus, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatments, and the impact of the foregoing on employees, vendors and government agencies, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the extent to which the disruption may materially impact its condensed consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Use of Estimates— The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense, and related disclosures. The Company bases estimates and assumptions on historical experience when available and on various factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, inventory, the present value of lease liabilities and the corresponding right-of-use assets, the fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation, accrued expenses, deferred purchase consideration, contingent consideration, assets held for sale and the recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders—The Company follows the two-class method when computing net income (loss) per share as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net income (loss) per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the convertible preferred stock have no contractual obligation to share in losses. For all periods presented, the two-class method was not applicable.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, if dilutive, the weighted average number of potential shares of common stock, including the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, the issuance of unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.

The weighted average number of common shares included in the computation of diluted net loss gives effect to all potentially dilutive common equivalent shares, including outstanding stock options, warrants, unvested RSUs and PSUs and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders if their effect is antidilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. (See Note 14).

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. SALE OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TO ALCON

On July 8, 2022, the Company closed the Alcon Transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Alcon purchased the Commercial Business and assumed certain liabilities with respect to the Commercial Business. Alcon paid to the Company an upfront cash payment of $60,000 upon the closing of the Alcon Transaction. In addition, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive from Alcon up to four commercial-based sales milestone payments as follows: (1) $25,000 upon the achievement of $50,000 or more in aggregate worldwide net sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS in a calendar year from 2023 to 2028, (2) $65,000 upon the achievement of $100,000 or more in aggregate worldwide net sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS in a calendar year from 2023 to 2028, (3) $75,000 upon the achievement of $175,000 or more in aggregate worldwide net sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS in a calendar year from 2023 to 2029 and (4) $160,000 upon the achievement of $250,000 or more in aggregate worldwide net sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS in a calendar year from 2023 to 2029. Each milestone payment will only become payable once, if at all, upon the first time such milestone is achieved, and only one milestone payment will be paid with respect to a calendar year. In the event that more than one milestone is achieved in a calendar year, the higher milestone payment will become payable and the lower milestone payment will become payable only if the corresponding milestone is achieved again in a subsequent calendar year.

​

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, on July 8, 2022, the Company entered into supply and commercial agreements under which the Company agreed to supply EYSUVIS and INVELTYS to Alcon and distribute EYSUVIS and INVELTYS to third-party customers of the Commercial Business on behalf of Alcon for a period of six months following the closing of the Alcon Transaction, subject to early termination. In addition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement under which the Company provided certain transition services to Alcon on a cost-plus

14

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

pricing arrangement for six months following the closing of the Alcon Transaction. Pursuant to the supply agreement, Alcon purchased from the Company, at the closing of the Alcon Transaction, $5,027 of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS inventory on-hand at the Company. Together, the supply, commercial and transition services agreements are referred to herein as the “Transition Agreement.”

​

The Company has determined that the disposition of these assets does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation as it was not considered a component of an entity that comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a net gain on the sale of the Commercial Business as follows:

​

​

Alcon may purchase any remaining inventory owned by the Company (the “Remaining Inventory”) at an agreed upon discounted price. As the overall components of the Alcon Transaction should be reflected at fair value, the Company has deferred a portion of the gross consideration related to the discounted pricing on the Remaining Inventory. The deferred gain on the sale of the Commercial Business of $4,189 was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the transaction date as deferred gain on sale of Commercial Business and will be reduced at the time of recoverability of the Remaining Inventory.

​

The Company collected cash on behalf of Alcon for revenue generated by sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS from July 8, 2022 through the transition period and the Company transferred all cash generated by such sales to Alcon as of December 31, 2022.

​

As of March 31, 2023, the receivables due from Alcon for reimbursement for services performed under the Transition Agreement and invoices processed on Alcon’s behalf were $669 and $14, respectively, for a total receivable due from Alcon of $683 included in prepaid and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The Company also has $26 of receivables due from third parties in connection with the Transition Agreement as of March 31, 2023. The Company recorded income from the Transition Agreement of $157 which is presented in other income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and which offsets operating expenses related to the Transition Agreement captured within loss from operations. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 reflected an additional $41 in payables to third parties included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to amounts the Company is obligated to pay on Alcon’s behalf. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a net receivable due from Alcon and third parties in connection with the Transition Agreement of $668.

​

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had total receivables due from Alcon and third parties of $5,394 and $26, respectively, and total payables to third parties related to the Transition Agreement of $3,981 of which $1,737 was

included in accounts payable and $2,244 within accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to invoices the Company was obligated to pay on Alcon’s behalf. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a net receivable due from Alcon and third parties in connection with the Transition Agreement of $1,439.

​

4. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

As of March 31, 2023, the Company presented assets to be disposed of that met the criteria as held for sale as a single asset in its condensed consolidated financial statements. The EYSUVIS and INVELTYS product inventory classified as held for sale represents the net realizable value of the Remaining Inventory which Alcon, and solely Alcon, has the right to purchase. As noted in Note 3, “Sale of Commercial Business to Alcon” above, the Company deferred a portion of the gain on the sale of the Commercial Business related to the discounted pricing on the Remaining Inventory of $4,189.

​

The following is a summary of the major categories of assets that have been reclassified to held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and its own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

The Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of cash equivalents and contingent consideration. Cash equivalents and contingent consideration are reported at their respective fair values on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company acquired Combangio in November 2021 and in connection with the closing of the Combangio Acquisition, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 155,664 shares (the “Deferred Purchase Consideration”) of the Company’s common stock to former Combangio stockholders and other equityholders (the “Combangio Equityholders”) consisting of (i) an aggregate of 136,314 shares of common stock issued on January 3, 2022 (the “Upfront Shares”) and (ii) an aggregate of 19,350 shares of common stock that were held back as partial security for the satisfaction of indemnification obligations and other payment obligations of the Combangio Equityholders and were issued on March 10, 2023 (the “Holdback Shares”). The Company established liabilities for these considerations. The Deferred Purchase Consideration related to the Combangio Acquisition was measured at fair value each reporting period using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The fair value of the Deferred Purchase Consideration was based on the fair value of the underlying stock and a discount for lack of marketability. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could have had a significant impact on the fair value of the Deferred Purchase Consideration. Any change in the fair value of the Deferred Purchase Consideration was included in loss from operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company settled $7,935 of the liability upon issuance of the Upfront Shares and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company settled the remaining liability of $365 upon the issuance of the Holdback Shares. The change in the fair value of the Deferred Purchase Consideration was a gain of $230 and a loss of $1,051 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily due to the change in the fair value of the underlying stock price and is recognized as the (gain) loss on fair value remeasurement of deferred purchase consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

​

Additionally, the purchase price in connection with the Combangio Acquisition included potential future payments of up to $105,000 that are contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercialization milestones and are required to be recorded at fair value. To date and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, of the $105,000 in contingent milestone payments, the Company has paid to the Combangio Equityholders an aggregate of $2,500 in cash and $2,354 in shares of the Company’s common stock (representing an aggregate of 105,038 shares of the Company’s common stock) upon dosing of the first patient in the Company’s CHASE Phase 2b clinical trial of KPI-012 for PCED in the United States in February 2023 (the “Dosing Milestone”). The Company will pay the remaining amount due in connection with the Dosing Milestone of $146 in cash in January 2024, of which the discounted amount of $129 is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. Contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions are measured at fair value each reporting period using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities were based on a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow calculation using Level 3 fair value measurements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities. Any changes in the fair value of these contingent consideration liabilities are included in loss from operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities was a loss of $1,847 and a gain of $988 respectively, primarily due to changes in discount rates, partially offset by the passage of time, and were recognized as a loss (gain) on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

6. REVENUE

Following the sale of its Commercial Business to Alcon in July 2022, the Company no longer has any commercial products in its portfolio. The Company accounted for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company performed the following five steps to recognize revenue under ASC Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only recognized revenue when it was probable that it would collect the consideration to which it was entitled in exchange for the goods or services that would be transferred to the customer.

Product revenues, net

The Company sold EYSUVIS and INVELTYS primarily to wholesalers in the United States (collectively, “Customers”). These Customers subsequently resold the Company’s products to specialty and other retail pharmacies. In addition to agreements with Customers, the Company entered into arrangements with third-party payors that provided

for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts for the purchase of the Company’s products.

The goods promised in the Company’s product sales contracts represented a single performance obligation. The Company recognized revenue from product sales at the point the Customer obtained control of the product, which occurred upon delivery. The transaction price (“net sales price”) that was recognized as revenue for product sales included the selling price to the Customer and an estimate of variable consideration. Components of variable consideration included prompt pay and other discounts, product returns, government rebates, third-party payor rebates, coverage gap rebates, incentives such as patient co-pay assistance, and other fees paid to Customers and other third-party payors where a distinct good or service was not received. Variable consideration was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as either a reduction of accounts receivable, if payable to a Customer, or as a current liability, if payable to a third-party other than a Customer. The Company considered all relevant information when estimating variable consideration such as assessment of its then current and anticipated sales and demand forecasts, actual payment history, information from third parties regarding the payor mix for products, information from third parties regarding the units remaining in the distribution channel, specific known market events and trends, industry data and current contractual and statutory requirements that were reasonably available. The Company included estimated amounts for variable consideration in the net sales price to the extent it was determined probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration was resolved.

Payment terms with Customers did not exceed one year and, therefore, the Company did not account for a significant financing component in its arrangements. The Company expensed the incremental cost of obtaining a contract with a Customer when incurred as the period of benefit was generally less than one year.

Reserves for Variable Consideration:

Trade Discounts and Allowances

The Company provided its Customers with certain trade discounts and allowances including discounts for prompt payments and other discounts and fees paid for distribution, data and administrative services. These discounts and fees were based on contractually-determined percentages and were recorded as a reduction of revenue and accounts receivable in the period in which the related product revenue was recognized.

Chargebacks

Chargebacks for fees and discounts to providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices charged to Customers who directly purchased the product from the Company. Customers charged the Company for the difference between what they paid for the product and the ultimate selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. These components of variable consideration were established in the same period that the related revenue was recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and accounts receivable. Reserves for chargebacks consisted of credits the Company expected to issue for units that remained in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period and that the Company expected would be sold to qualified healthcare providers, as well as chargebacks that Customers had claimed, but for which the Company had not yet issued a credit.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company has a product returns policy that provides Customers right of return for product purchased within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the product’s expiration date. The

Company estimated the amount of its products that may be returned and presented this amount as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue was recognized, in addition to establishing a liability. The Company’s estimates for product returns were based upon available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel as well as historical returns, which developed over time.

Commercial Payor and Medicare Part D Rebates 

The Company contracted with certain third-party payors, primarily pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) and health plans (“Plans”), for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of its product. These rebates were based on contractual percentages applied to the amount of product prescribed to patients who were covered by the PBMs or the Plans with which it contracted. The Company estimated the rebates for commercial and Medicare Part D payors based on the contractual discount percentage, the various payor mix for EYSUVIS and INVELTYS as well as future rebates that would be made for product that had been recognized as revenue but remained in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. The Company also estimated the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom it would owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program. Such estimates were recorded in the same period the related revenue was recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability.

Government Rebates

The Company was subject to discount obligations under Medicaid and other government programs. For Medicaid, reserves were based on actual payment history, and estimates of future Medicaid beneficiary utilization applied to the Medicaid unit rebate formula established by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services. The Company’s liability for these rebates consisted of estimates of claims for the current period and estimated future claims that would be made for product that had been recognized as revenue but remained in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. These reserves were recorded in the same period the related revenue was recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability.

Co-pay Assistance Programs

The Company offered co-pay assistance programs (the “co-pay programs”), which were intended to provide financial assistance to patients who may or may not be covered by commercial insurance or, with respect to INVELTYS, who opt out of Medicare Part D programs. The calculation of accruals for the co-pay programs was based on actual claims processed during the period as well as an estimate of the number and cost per claim that the Company expected to receive associated with product that had been recognized as revenue but remained in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Allowances for estimated co-pay claims were recorded in the same period the related revenue was recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability.
