NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for the presentation of interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. These unaudited financial statements should be read in combination with the other Notes in this section; “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing in Item 2; and the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements.

Note 2. The Business And Nature of Operations

Lannett Company, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Lannett”) primarily develop, manufacture, package, market and distribute solid oral and extended release (tablets and capsules), topical, nasal and oral solution finished dosage forms of drugs that address a wide range of therapeutic areas. Certain of these products are manufactured by others and distributed by the Company.

The Company operates pharmaceutical manufacturing plants in Carmel, New York and Seymour, Indiana. The Company’s customers include generic pharmaceutical distributors, drug wholesalers, chain drug stores, private label distributors, mail-order pharmacies, other pharmaceutical manufacturers, managed care organizations, hospital buying groups, governmental entities and health maintenance organizations.

COVID-19 Update

In light of the economic impacts of COVID-19, the Company performed a review of the assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020, including intangible and other long-lived assets. Based on our review, we believe that we will be able to realize the full value of our assets and that a triggering event does not exist at this time. As such, no impairments or other write-downs were recorded during the first three months of Fiscal Year 2021 specifically related to COVID-19. Our assessment is based on information currently available and is highly reliant on various assumptions. Changes in market conditions could impact the Company’s future outlook and may lead to impairments in the future.

While COVID-19 has thus far not had a material impact on the Company’s operations, subsequent to an initial stocking up of supplies at the start of the pandemic, the total volume of drug prescriptions being written in the country has decreased causing less demand for our products. We cannot reasonably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our future results of operations and cashflows due to the continued uncertainty around the duration and severity of the pandemic.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Principles of consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lannett Company, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are required in the determination of revenue recognition and sales deductions for estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns and other adjustments including a provision for the Company’s liability under the Medicare Part D program. Additionally, significant estimates and assumptions are required when determining the value of inventories and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and share-based compensation.

Because of the inherent subjectivity and complexity involved in these estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the reporting currency of the Company. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are maintained in local currency and translated into U.S. dollars at the end of each reporting period. Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The adjustments resulting from the use of differing exchange rates are recorded as part of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under other income (loss). Amounts recorded due to foreign currency fluctuations are immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities less than or equal to three months at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of bank deposits and money market funds. The Company maintains its cash deposits and cash equivalents at well-known, stable financial institutions. Such amounts frequently exceed insured limits.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

On July 1, 2020, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB in ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the Company to recognize an allowance that reflects a current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial asset, including trade receivables. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time balances are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company and the expected condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible.

Table of Contents

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are regularly reviewed and write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on current inventory levels, expiration date and estimated sales forecasts.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives which commences upon shipment of the product, generally for periods ranging from 5 to 15 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested at least annually for impairment. Costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset are expensed as incurred.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, including Intangible Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets primarily consist of property, plant and equipment and definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (“triggering events”) indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If a triggering event is determined to have occurred, the asset’s carrying value is compared to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the asset, then impairment exists. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or triggering events indicate that the asset might be impaired.

An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which in most cases is calculated using a discounted cash flow model. Discounted cash flow models are highly reliant on various assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs, including estimates of future cash flows (including long-term growth rates), discount rates and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows.

In-Process Research and Development

Amounts allocated to in-process research and development in connection with a business combination are recorded at fair value and are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to impairment testing in accordance with the Company’s impairment testing policy for indefinite-lived intangible assets. As products in development are approved for sale, amounts will be allocated to product rights and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected lives of the related assets. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value of in-process research and development, as well as asset lives, can materially impact our results of operations. The Company’s fair value assessments are highly reliant on various assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs, including estimates of future cash flows (including long-term growth rates), discount rates and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

The Company complies with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which superseded ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when (or as) we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring a promised good or service to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is expected to be entitled. Our revenue consists almost entirely of sales of our pharmaceutical products to customers, whereby we ship product to a customer pursuant to a purchase order. Revenue contracts such as these do not generally give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities because: (i) the underlying contracts generally have only a single performance obligation and (ii) we do not generally receive consideration until the performance obligation is fully satisfied. The revenue standard impacts the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition by requiring recognition of certain contract manufacturing arrangements to change from “upon shipment or delivery” to “over time”. However, the recognition of these arrangements over time does not currently have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

When revenue is recognized, a simultaneous adjustment to gross sales is made for estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns, promotional adjustments and other potential adjustments. These provisions are primarily estimated based on historical experience, future expectations, contractual arrangements with wholesalers and indirect customers and other factors known to management at the time of accrual. Accruals for provisions are presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a reduction to gross sales with the corresponding reserve presented as a reduction of accounts receivable or included as rebates payable, depending on the nature of the reserve.

Provisions for chargebacks, rebates, returns and other adjustments require varying degrees of subjectivity. While rebates generally are based on contractual terms and require minimal estimation, chargebacks and returns require management to make more subjective assumptions. Each major category is discussed in detail below:

Chargebacks

The provision for chargebacks is the most significant and complex estimate used in the recognition of revenue. The Company sells its products directly to wholesale distributors, generic distributors, retail pharmacy chains and mail-order pharmacies. The Company also sells its products indirectly to independent pharmacies, managed care organizations, hospitals, nursing homes and group purchasing organizations, collectively referred to as “indirect customers.” The Company enters into agreements with its indirect customers to establish pricing for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to purchase the products. If the price paid by the indirect customers is lower than the price paid by the wholesaler, the Company will provide a credit, called a chargeback, to the wholesaler for the difference between the contractual price with the indirect customers and the wholesaler purchase price. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s wholesale customers to the indirect customers and estimated wholesaler inventory levels. As sales to the large wholesale customers, such as Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen and McKesson increase (decrease), the reserve for chargebacks will also generally increase (decrease). However, the size of the increase (decrease) depends on product mix and the amount of sales made to indirect customers with which the Company has specific chargeback agreements. The Company continually monitors the reserve for chargebacks and makes adjustments when management believes that expected chargebacks may differ from the actual chargeback reserve.

Rebates

Rebates are offered to the Company’s key chain drug store, distributor and wholesaler customers to promote customer loyalty and increase product sales. These rebate programs provide customers with credits upon attainment of pre-established volumes or attainment of net sales milestones for a specified period. Other promotional programs are incentive programs offered to the customers. Additionally, as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) enacted in the U.S. in March 2010, the Company participates in a cost-sharing program for certain Medicare Part D beneficiaries designed primarily for the sale of brand drugs and certain generic drugs if their Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval was granted under a New Drug Application (“NDA”) or 505(b) NDA versus an Abbreviated New Drug application ("ANDA’). Drugs purchased within the Medicare Part D coverage gap (commonly referred to as the “donut hole”) result in additional rebates. The Company estimates the reserve for rebates and other promotional credit programs based on the specific terms in each agreement when revenue is recognized. The reserve for rebates increases (decreases) as sales to certain wholesale and retail customers increase (decrease). However, since these rebate programs are not identical for all customers, the size of the reserve will depend on the mix of sales to customers that are eligible to receive rebates.

Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company has a product returns policy that allows customers to return product within a specified time period prior to and subsequent to the product’s expiration date in exchange for a credit to be applied to future purchases. The Company’s policy requires that the customer obtain pre-approval from the Company for any qualifying return. The Company estimates its provision for returns based on historical experience, changes to business practices, credit terms and any extenuating circumstances known to management. While historical experience has allowed for reasonable estimations in the past, future returns may or may not follow historical trends. The Company continually monitors the reserve for returns and makes adjustments when management believes that actual product returns may differ from the established reserve. Generally, the reserve for returns increases as net sales increase.

Other Adjustments

Other adjustments consist primarily of “price adjustments”, also known as “shelf-stock adjustments” and “price protections,” which are both credits issued to reflect increases or decreases in the invoice or contract prices of the Company’s products. In the case of a price decrease, a credit is given for product remaining in customer’s inventories at the time of the price reduction. Contractual price protection results in a similar credit when the invoice or contract prices of the Company’s products increase, effectively allowing customers to purchase products at previous prices for a specified period of time. Amounts recorded for estimated shelf-stock adjustments and price protections are based upon specified terms with direct customers, estimated changes in market prices and estimates of inventory held by customers. The Company regularly monitors these and other factors and evaluates the reserve as additional information becomes available. Other adjustments also include prompt payment discounts and “failure-to-supply” adjustments. If the Company is unable to fulfill certain customer orders, the customer can purchase products from our competitors at their prices and charge the Company for any difference in our contractually agreed upon prices.

Leases

On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, which superseded ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under ASC 842, when the Company enters into a new arrangement, it must determine, at the inception date, whether the arrangement is or contains a lease. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. Once a lease has been identified, the Company must determine the lease term, the present value of lease payments and the classification of the lease as either operating or financing.

Table of Contents

The lease term is determined to be the non-cancelable period including any lessee renewal options which are considered to be reasonably certain of exercise. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The present value of lease payments includes fixed and certain variable payments, less lease incentives, together with amounts probable of being owed by the Company under residual value guarantees and, if reasonably certain of being paid, the cost of certain renewal options and early termination penalties set forth in the lease arrangement. To calculate the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily available.

In making the determination of whether a lease is an operating lease or a finance lease, the Company considers the lease term in relation to the economic life of the leased asset, the present value of lease payments in relation to the fair value of the leased asset and certain other factors.

Upon the commencement of the lease, the Company will record a lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred.

For operating leases, a single lease cost is generally recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless an impairment has been recorded with respect to a leased asset. For finance leases, amortization expense and interest expense are recognized separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with amortization expense generally recorded on a straight-line basis and interest expense recorded using the effective interest method. Variable lease costs not initially included in the lease liability and ROU asset impairment charges are expensed as incurred.

Cost of Sales, including Amortization of Intangibles

Cost of sales includes all costs related to bringing products to their final selling destination, which includes direct and indirect costs, such as direct material, labor and overhead expenses. Additionally, cost of sales includes product royalties, depreciation, amortization and costs to renew or extend recognized intangible assets, freight charges and other shipping and handling expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, including all production costs until a drug candidate is approved by the FDA. Research and development expenses include costs associated with internal projects as well as costs associated with third-party research and development contracts.

Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including litigation-related contingencies, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the Company concludes that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees for litigation-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Selling, general and administrative expenses line item.

Restructuring Costs

The Company records charges associated with approved restructuring plans to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with business acquisitions or to simplify business processes. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of employees, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations and contract cancellation costs. The Company records restructuring charges based on estimated employee terminations, site closure and consolidation plans. The Company accrues severance and other employee separation costs under these actions when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount is reasonably estimable.

Table of Contents

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation costs are recognized over the vesting period, using a straight-line method, based on the fair value of the instrument on the date of grant less an estimate for expected forfeitures. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options, the stock price on the grant date to value restricted stock and the Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of performance-based shares. The Black-Scholes valuation and Monte-Carlo simulation models include various assumptions, including the expected volatility, the expected life of the award, dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate as well as performance assumptions of peer companies. These assumptions involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions which are generally outside the Company’s control. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on share-based compensation costs recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Self-Insurance

The Company self-insures for certain employee medical and prescription benefits. The Company also maintains stop loss coverage with third party insurers to limit its total liability exposure. The liability for self-insured risks is primarily calculated using independent third-party actuarial valuations which take into account actual claims, claims growth and claims incurred but not yet reported. Actual experience, including claim frequency and severity as well as health-care inflation, could result in different liabilities than the amounts currently recorded. The liability for self-insured risks under this plan was not material to the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates in the period during which they are signed into law. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized through generating sufficient future taxable income. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings.

The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position claimed on a tax return only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The authoritative accounting standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

On March 27, 2020, in response to COVID-19 and its detrimental impact to the global economy, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) into law, which provides a stimulus to the U.S. economy in the form of various individual and business assistance programs as well as temporary changes to existing tax law. Among the changes to the provision in business tax laws include a five-year net operating loss carryback for the Fiscal 2019 - 2021 tax years, a deferral of the employer’s portion of certain payroll tax, and an increase in the interest expense deductibility limitation for the Fiscal 2020 and 2021 tax years. ASC 740 requires the tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates to be recorded in the period of enactment. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company carried back its Fiscal 2020 taxable loss into the Fiscal 2015 tax year. The Company also reviewed its existing deferred tax assets in light of COVID-19 and determined that no additional valuation allowance is required at this time. However, the Company will continue to monitor the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our results of operations.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

A dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is required on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as well as a reconciliation of the computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share to diluted earnings (loss) per common share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Beginning in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company's diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the "if-converted" method by dividing the adjusted "if-converted" net income by the adjusted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The adjusted "if-converted" net income is adjusted for interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, both net of tax, associated with the Company’s 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026. The weighted average number of diluted shares is adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of the exercise of stock options, treats unvested restricted stock and performance-based shares as if it were vested, and assumes the conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation. Dilutive shares are also excluded in the calculation in periods of net loss because the effect of including such securities would be anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those that resulted from investments by or distributions to the Company’s stockholders. Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income (loss), but excluded from income (loss) for all amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model used to measure credit losses for most financial assets. We are required to recognize an allowance that reflects the Company’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial asset, including trade receivables. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, with changes to modify and simplify the application of U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires adoption using either the retrospective basis or the modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 4. Restructuring Charges

2020 Restructuring Program

On July 10, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a restructuring and cost savings plan (the “2020 Restructuring Plan”). The purpose of the 2020 Restructuring Plan is to enhance manufacturing efficiencies, streamline operations and reduce the Company’s cost structure, and was implemented, in part, as a result of previously anticipated near-term competition and pricing pressure with respect to certain key products. The 2020 Restructuring Plan includes the consolidation of the Company’s R&D function into a single location in Philadelphia, PA, lowering operating costs and reducing the workforce by approximately 80 positions, equal to approximately 8.5% of the Company’s total number of employees. The 2020 Restructuring Plan was initiated on July 13, 2020.

The Company incurred $4.0 million in severance-related costs in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 in connection with the 2020 Restructuring Plan. The Company expects the 2020 Restructuring Plan to result in annual cost savings in excess of $15.0 million.

A reconciliation of the changes in restructuring liabilities associated with the 2020 Restructuring Plan from June 30, 2020 through September 30, 2020 is set forth in the following table:


	Employee

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for chargebacks, rebates (including rebates presented as rebates payable), returns and other deductions of $188.3 million, $34.3 million, $5.5 million and $15.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a provision for chargebacks, rebates (including rebates presented as rebates payable), returns and other deductions of $207.9 million, $58.5 million, $3.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The following table identifies the activity and ending balances of each major category of revenue-related reserve for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Balance at September 30, 2019	$	83,483	$	74,831	$	53,992	$	19,109	$	231,415

For the three months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, as a percentage of gross sales the provision for chargebacks was 51.7% and 51.4%, the provision for rebates was 9.4% and 14.5%, the provision for returns was 1.5% and 0.9% and the provision for other adjustments was 4.3% and 3.1%, respectively.

The increase in the chargebacks reserve was primarily due to timing of sales and product mix. The increase in the chargebacks reserve was offset by a decrease in the rebates reserve primarily due to lower sales of Fluphenazine in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, which had higher than average government-related rebates. Historically, we have not recorded any material amounts in the current period related to reversals or additions of prior period reserves. If the Company were to record a material reversal or addition of any prior period reserve amount, it would be separately disclosed.

Note 6. Inventories

Inventories at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 consisted of the following:

Property, plant and equipment, net included amounts held in foreign countries in the amount of $0.6 million at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits and money market funds. The carrying value of certain financial instruments, primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their estimated fair values based upon the short-term nature of their maturity dates.

The Company follows the authoritative guidance of ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are entirely within Level 1 of the hierarchy as defined below:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are material to the fair value of the asset or liability. Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation are examples of Level 3 assets and liabilities.

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Table of Contents

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Reported, at Fair Value

We estimate the fair value of our debt utilizing market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in active markets. Since our debt does not trade on a daily basis in an active market, the fair value estimates are based on market observable inputs based on borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2). The estimated fair value of our term loan debt was approximately $592 million and $608 million as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The estimated fair value of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes was approximately $52 million and $58 million as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The fair value as of September 30, 2020 was lower than the carrying value primarily due to the Company’s stock price at September 30, 2020 as compared to the $15.29 conversion price.

Note 11. Legal, Regulatory Matters and Contingencies

State Attorneys General Inquiry into the Generic Pharmaceutical Industry

In July 2014, the Company received interrogatories and a subpoena from the State of Connecticut Office of the Attorney General concerning its investigation into the pricing of digoxin. According to the subpoena, the Connecticut Attorney General is investigating whether anyone engaged in any activities that resulted in (a) fixing, maintaining or controlling prices of digoxin or (b) allocating and dividing customers or territories relating to the sale of digoxin in violation of Connecticut antitrust law. In June 2016, the Connecticut Attorney General issued interrogatories and a subpoena to an employee of the Company in order to gain access to documents and responses previously supplied to the Department of Justice pursuant to the federal investigation described below. In December 2016, the Connecticut Attorney General, joined by numerous other State Attorneys General, filed a civil complaint alleging that six pharmaceutical companies engaged in anti-competitive behavior. The Company was not named in the action and does not compete on the products that formed the basis of the complaint. The complaint was later transferred for pretrial purposes to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania as part of a multidistrict litigation captioned In re: Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation. On October 31, 2017, the State Attorneys General filed a motion in the District Court for leave to amend their complaint to add numerous additional defendants, including the Company, and claims relating to 13 additional drugs. The Court granted that motion on June 5, 2018. The State Attorneys General filed their amended complaint on June 18, 2018. The claim relating to Lannett involves alleged price-fixing for one drug, doxycycline monohydrate, but does not involve the pricing for digoxin. The State Attorneys General also allege that all defendants were part of an overarching, industry-wide conspiracy to allocate markets and fix prices generally. On August 15, 2019, the Court denied the defendants' joint motion to dismiss the overarching conspiracy claims, but has yet to decide an individual motion filed by the Company to dismiss the overreaching conspiracy claims as to it.

On May 10, 2019, the State Attorneys General filed a new lawsuit naming the Company, and one of its employees as defendants, along with 33 other corporations and individuals. The new complaint again alleges an overarching conspiracy and contains claims for price fixing and market allocation under the Sherman Act and related state laws. The complaint focuses on the conduct of another generic pharmaceutical company, and the relationships that company had with other generic companies and their employees. The specific allegations in the new complaint against Lannett relate to the Company’s sales of baclofen and levothyroxine. The new complaint also names another current employee as a defendant, however the allegations pertain to conduct that occurred prior to their employment by Lannett. The Company has not responded to the new complaint as of the date of this report.

Based on internal investigations performed to date, the Company currently believes that it has acted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Federal Investigation into the Generic Pharmaceutical Industry

In November and December 2014, the Company and certain affiliated individuals and customers were served with grand jury subpoenas relating to a federal investigation of the generic pharmaceutical industry into possible violations of the Sherman Act. The subpoenas request corporate documents of the Company relating to corporate, financial and employee information, communications or correspondence with competitors regarding the sale of generic prescription medications and the marketing, sale, or pricing of certain products, generally for the period of 2005 through the dates of the subpoenas.

The Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Department of Justice on May 14, 2018. The CID requests information regarding allegations that the generic pharmaceutical industry engaged in market allocation, price fixing, payment of illegal remuneration and submission of false claims. The CID requests information from 2009-present. The Company is in the process of responding to the CID.

Based on internal investigations performed to date, the Company believes that it has acted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Government Pricing

During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed a contract compliance review, for the period January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2016, for one of KUPI’s government-entity customers. As a result of the review, the Company identified certain commercial customer prices and other terms that were not properly disclosed to the government-entity resulting in potential overcharges. For the period January 1, 2012 through November 24, 2015 (“the pre-acquisition period”), the Company is fully indemnified per the Stock Purchase Agreement.

On May 22, 2019, the Department of Veterans Affairs issued a Contracting Officer’s Final Decision and Demand for Payment, assessing the sum of $9.4 million for overpayments by the Veteran’s Administration for the period of January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2016. In August 2019, the Company remitted payment to the VA and received reimbursement from UCB for the indemnified portion of the payment in the amount of $8.1 million. The VA requested additional information for the period of July 1, 2016 through March 2018. The Company is in the process of responding to the information request.

Private Antitrust and Consumer Protection Litigation

In 2016 and 2017, the Company and certain competitors were named as defendants in a number of lawsuits alleging that the Company and certain generic pharmaceutical manufacturers have conspired to fix prices of generic digoxin, levothyroxine, ursodiol and baclofen. These cases are part of a larger group of more than 100 lawsuits generally alleging that over 30 generic pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors conspired to fix prices for multiple different generic drugs in violation of the federal Sherman Act, various state antitrust laws, and various state consumer protection statutes. The United States also has been granted leave to intervene in the cases. On April 6, 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “JPML”) ordered that all of the cases alleging price-fixing for generic drugs be consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania under the caption In re: Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation (the “MDL”). The various plaintiffs are grouped into three categories - Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs, End Payer Plaintiffs, and Indirect Reseller Purchasers - and filed Consolidated Amended Complaints (“CACs”) against the Company and the other defendants in August 2017.

The CACs naming the Company as a defendant involve generic digoxin, levothyroxine, ursodiol and baclofen. Pursuant to a court-ordered schedule grouping the 18 different drug cases into three separate tranches, the Company and other generic pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants in October 2017 filed joint and individual motions to dismiss the CACs involving the six drugs in the first tranche, including digoxin. In October 2018, the Court (with one exception) denied defendants’ motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ Sherman Act claims with respect to the drugs in the first tranche. In March 2019, the Company and other defendants filed answers to the Sherman Act claims. In addition, in February 2019, the Court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs’ state law claims, but denied the remainder of defendants’ motions to dismiss and set a deadline of April 1, 2019 for certain plaintiffs to amend their existing complaints. Those plaintiffs amended their complaints, but further motions to dismiss the state-law claims remain pending.

In addition to lawsuits brought by private plaintiffs, the Attorneys General of 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and various territories have filed their own lawsuits alleging overarching, industry-wide price-fixing conspiracies by the Company and various other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers. Those suits have been consolidated in the MDL. The first suit alleges that the Company was involved in price-fixing for one drug, doxycycline monohydrate. Defendants’ joint motion to dismiss the overarching conspiracy claims in that suit was denied in August 2019, but the Company’s individual motion to dismiss the overarching conspiracy claims as to it remains outstanding. The Attorneys General also filed a second overarching conspiracy complaint in May 2019 involving dozens of different drugs, including alleged price-fixing by the Company for baclofen and levothyroxine. In June 2020, the Attorneys General filed a third overarching conspiracy complaint involving scores of different drugs, including alleged price-fixing by the Company for acetazolamide.

Following the lead of the state Attorneys General, the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs, End Payer Plaintiffs and Indirect Reseller Plaintiffs filed their own complaints in June 2018 alleging an overarching conspiracy relating to 14 generic drugs in the End Payer complaint and 15 generic drugs in the Indirect Reseller complaint. Although the complaints allege an overarching conspiracy with respect to all of the drugs identified, the specific allegations related to drugs the Company manufactures involve acetazolamide and doxycycline monohydrate.

The Company and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the overarching conspiracy claims. In August 2019, the Court denied the defendants' joint motion to dismiss the overarching conspiracy claims, but has yet to decide an individual motion filed by the Company to dismiss the overarching conspiracy claims as to it. In addition, between December 2019 and February 2020, the End Payer Plaintiffs, Indirect Reseller Purchasers, and Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs filed separate complaints alleging overarching, industry-wide price-fixing conspiracies modeled on the second one filed by the state Attorneys General. The new complaint involve 135 new drugs in addition to those named in previous complaints. As to the Company, the new drugs involved are pilocarpine HCL, triamterence HCTZ capsules, amantadine HCL, and oxycodone HCL. None of the defendants, including the Company, has responded yet to these new complaints.

Between January 2018 and June 2020, a number of opt-out parties have filed individual complaints or otherwise commenced actions against the Company and dozens of other companies alleging an overarching conspiracy and individual conspiracies to fix the prices and allocate markets on scores of different drug products, including digoxin, doxycycline, levothyroxine, ursodiol and baclofen. The opt-out parties include various retailers, insurers and county governments, which have filed federal suits in Pennsylvania, New York, California, and Texas. All of those complaints have been added to the MDL but none of the defendants, including the Company, has responded to any of the complaints. Other groups of insurers have commenced actions in Pennsylvania state court against the Company and other drug companies by filing writs of summons, which are not complaints but can serve to toll the running of statutes of limitations. Those state-court cases have not been added to the MDL, although the parties have agreed to stay those cases pending further developments in the MDL.

In June 2020, the Company and a number of other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers were named as defendants in a Statement of Claim, along with a number of other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, in a proposed class proceeding in federal court in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The case alleges a violation of Canada’s Competition Act. The allegations are similar to those in the MDL alleging an overarching, industry-wide conspiracy to allocate markets and fix the price of generic drugs. That alleged conspiracy reached Canada because these same manufacturers also allegedly sell the majority of generic drugs in Canada. The Statement of Claim alleges that the conspiracy extends to the entire generic pharmaceutical market. The specific drugs identified with respect to the Company are: acetazolamide, baclofen, digoxin, doxycycline monohydrate, levothyroxine, and ursodiol. The Company has not yet responded to the Statement of Claim.

On July 13, 2020, the court overseeing the MDL selected as “bellwether” cases the second overarching conspiracy case filed by the state Attorneys General in May 2019 as well as individual-conspiracy cases filed by the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs, End Payer Plaintiffs, and Indirect Reseller Purchasers involving the drugs clobetasol, clomipramine and pravastatin. The Company is a defendant only in the overarching conspiracy case. To date, none of the “bellwether” cases have been scheduled for trial.

The Company believes that it acted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company disputes the allegations set forth in these class actions and plans to vigorously defend itself from these claims.

Shareholder Litigation

In November 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and two of its former officers in the federal district court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that the Company and two of its former officers damaged the purported class by making false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s drug pricing methodologies and internal controls. In December 2017, counsel for the putative class filed a second amended complaint. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint in February 2018. In July 2018, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint . In September 2018, counsel for the putative class filed a third amended complaint. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint in November 2018. In May 2019, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. In July 2019, the Company filed an answer to the third amended complaint. On October 1, 2020, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification.

In May 2019, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and certain of the current and former members of the Company’s Board of Directors in the federal court for the District of Delaware. The Company was also named as a nominal defendant in the suit. The suit alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties as directors and/or officers of the Company, that certain of the defendants caused the Company to issue false and misleading proxy statements in violation of Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the defendants were unjustly enriched at the expense of the Company, and that the defendants wasted corporate assets belonging to the Company. On December 4, 2019 the court entered a stipulation consolidating the suit with a separate shareholder derivative suit filed in July 2019, as described below.

Genus Life Sciences

In December 2018, Genus Lifesciences, Inc. (“Genus”) sued the Company, Cody Labs, and others in California federal court, alleging violations of the Lanham Act, Sherman Act, and California false advertising law. Genus received FDA approval for a cocaine hydrochloride product in December 2018, and its claims are premised in part on allegations that the Company falsely advertises its unapproved cocaine hydrochloride solution product. The Company denies that it is falsely advertising its cocaine hydrochloride solution product and continues to market its unapproved product relying on the Guidance for FDA Staff and Industry, Marketed Unapproved Drugs — Compliance Policy Guide, pending approval of its Section 505(b)(2) application. In January 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On May 3, 2019, the Court issued a written decision granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss.

Sandoz, Inc.

On July 20, 2020, Sandoz, Inc. (“Sandoz”) filed a complaint in federal court in Philadelphia, alleging claims for tortious interference with contract, unfair competition and conversion of confidential information, arising out of Cediprof, Inc.’s (“Cediprof”) termination of Sandoz’s contract to distribute levothyroxine tablets in the United States and certain territories. Along with the complaint, Sandoz filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, seeking to enjoin the Company from commencing the distribution of levothyroxine tablets on August 3, 2020. On the same day, Sandoz filed a separate complaint and application for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Cediprof in federal court in New York, seeking to prevent Cediprof from selling its levothyroxine tablets in the United States and certain of its territories to anyone other than Sandoz. On July 27, 2020, the New York court held a hearing and denied Sandoz’s application for a temporary restraining order, ruling Sandoz had failed to establish irreparable harm. On July 28, 2020, the Philadelphia court held a hearing and denied Sandoz’s application for a temporary restraining order, ruling that Sandoz had failed to establish irreparable harm and failed to establish that it is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim against Lannett. On October 5, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The Company denies that it tortiously interfered with Sandoz’s contract or that it converted any of Sandoz’s alleged confidential information. Discovery is ongoing and the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this suit at this time.

Other Litigation Matters

The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of its business including, but not limited to, product liability, intellectual property, patent infringement claims and antitrust matters. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. An adverse determination in any of these proceedings or in any of the proceedings described above in the future could have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

Leases

The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 resulted in an increase in the Company’s assets and liabilities of $7.9 million at July 1, 2019. In the first quarter of Fiscal 2020, the Company recorded a ROU lease asset totaling $1.2 million related to an existing lease at Cody Labs upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. The Company subsequently recorded a full impairment of the asset as a result of the decision to cease operations at Cody Labs. At September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company has a ROU lease asset of $9.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, and a ROU liability of $11.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively. The current balance of the ROU liability at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was $2.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Other Commitments

During Fiscal 2017, the Company signed an agreement with a company operating in the pharmaceutical business, under which the Company agreed to provide up to $15.0 million in revolving loans, which expires in seven years and bears interest at 2.0%, for the purpose of expansion and other business needs. In Fiscal 2019, the Company sold 50% of the outstanding loan to a third party for $5.6 million, in addition to assigning 50% of all rights, title and interest in the loan and loan documents. As of September 30, 2020, $6.5 million was outstanding under the revolving loan and is included in other assets. Based on the guidance set forth in ASC 810-10 Consolidation, the Company has concluded that it has a variable interest in the entity. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary to the entity and as such, is not required to consolidate the entity’s results of operations.

In Fiscal 2020, the Company executed a License and Collaboration Agreement with North South Brother Pharmacy Investment Co., Ltd. and HEC Group PTY, Ltd. (collectively, “HEC”) to develop an insulin glargine product that would be biosimilar to Lantus Solostar. Under the terms of the deal, among other things, the Company shall fund up to the initial $32 million of the development costs and split 50/50 any development costs in excess thereof. Lannett shall receive an exclusive license to distribute and market the product in the United States upon FDA approval under the 50/50 profit split for the first ten years following commercialization, followed by a 60/40 split in favor of HEC for the following five years. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on the development of the insulin glargine product. The longer that countries around the world remain on lockdown, the more likely it becomes that the timing of the product development and approval will be delayed.

Note 15. Share-based Compensation

At September 30, 2020, the Company had two share-based employee compensation plans (the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan “LTIP” and the 2014 “LTIP”). Together these plans authorized an aggregate total of 6.5 million shares to be issued. As of September 30, 2020, the plans have a total of 45 thousand shares available for future issuances.

Historically, the Company has issued share-based compensation awards with a vesting period ranging up to 3 years and a maximum contractual term of 10 years. The Company issues new shares of stock when stock options are exercised. As of September 30, 2020, there was $14.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

Stock Options

The Company measures share-based compensation cost for options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate fair values of the stock options granted, the estimated annual forfeiture rates used to recognize the associated compensation expense and the weighted average fair value of the options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:


	September 30, 2020			September 30, 2019
Risk-free interest rate		0.2	%		1.9	%
Expected volatility		82.5	%		73.7	%
Expected dividend yield		—	%		—	%
Forfeiture rate		—	%		—	%
Expected term		5.0	years		5.1	years
Weighted average fair value	$	3.86		$	4.04

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares during the historical period equal to the expected term of the option. The Company uses historical information to estimate the expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for the period equal to the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The forfeiture rate assumption is the estimated annual rate at which unvested awards are expected to be forfeited during the vesting period. This assumption is based on our actual forfeiture rate on historical awards. Periodically, management will assess whether it is necessary to adjust the estimated rate to reflect changes in actual forfeitures or changes in expectations. Additionally, the expected dividend yield is equal to zero, as the Company has not historically issued and has no immediate plans to issue a dividend.

Restricted Stock

The Company measures restricted stock compensation costs based on the stock price at the grant date less an estimate for expected forfeitures. The annual forfeiture rate used to calculate compensation expense was 6.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Performance-Based Shares

In September 2017, the Company began granting performance-based awards to certain key executives. The stock-settled awards will cliff vest based on relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over a three-year period. The Company measures share-based compensation cost for TSR awards using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.

A summary of performance-based share awards as of September 30, 2020 and changes during the current fiscal year, is presented below:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2003, the Company’s stockholders approved an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Employees eligible to participate in the ESPP may purchase shares of the Company’s stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the first day of the calendar quarter, or the last day of the calendar quarter. Under the ESPP, employees can authorize the Company to withhold up to 10% of their compensation during any quarterly offering period, subject to certain limitations. The ESPP was implemented on April 1, 2003 and is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board of Directors authorized an aggregate total of 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the ESPP. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 29 thousand shares were issued under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2020, 939 thousand total cumulative shares have been issued under the ESPP.

Note 16. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a 401k defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all employees. Pursuant to the Plan provisions, the Company is required to make matching contributions equal to 50% of each employee’s contribution, not to exceed 4% of the employee’s compensation for the Plan year. Contributions to the Plan during each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

In Fiscal 2020, the Company implemented a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain senior-level management and executives. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan allows certain eligible employees to defer additional pre-tax earnings for retirement, beyond the IRS limits in place under the Plan. Contributions to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan during the three months ended September 30, 2020 were not material.

Note 17. Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The federal, state and local income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $8.0 million compared to an income tax expense of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 55.1% and (17.2)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was higher compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the CARES Act, which increased the interest expense deductibility limitation in the current year and also allowed the Company to carry back its taxable loss into a prior fiscal year, where the statutory tax rate was 35%.

As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $4.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of which $4.7 million and $4.5 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate for each period, if recognized. As a result of the positions taken during the period, the Company has not recorded any material interest and penalties for the period ended September 30, 2020 in the statement of operations and no cumulative interest and penalties have been recorded either in the Company’s statement of financial position as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The Company will recognize interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and any related penalties in operating expenses.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company’s federal tax returns for Fiscal Year 2014 and prior generally are no longer subject to review as such years generally are

closed. The Company’s Fiscal Year 2015 through 2017 federal returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In October 2018, the Company was notified that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will conduct a routine field audit of the Company’s Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2017 corporate tax returns. In December 2019, the Company was notified that the Florida Department of Revenue will conduct a routine field audit of the Company’s Fiscal 2016, 2017 and 2018 corporate tax returns. The Company has received preliminary assessments from the IRS and the Florida Department of Revenue, which are not considered material to Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations; however, we cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of the examinations at this time.

Note 18. Related Party Transactions

The Company had sales of $0.7 million during each of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, to a generic distributor, Auburn Pharmaceutical Company (“Auburn”), which is a member of the Premier Buying Group. Jeffrey Farber, a current board member, is the owner of Auburn. Accounts receivable includes amounts due from Auburn of $0.7 million at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Note 19. Assets Held for Sale

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company approved a plan to sell the Cody API business, which includes the manufacturing and distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients for use in finished goods production. The Company was unable to sell the Cody API business as an ongoing operation and sold the equipment utilized by the Cody API business during Fiscal 2020. The Company ceased operations at Cody Labs, leased a portion of the real estate to a third party and intends to sell the remaining real estate. As of September 30, 2020, the remaining real estate associated with the Cody API business, totaling $2.7 million, was recorded in the assets held for sale caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table summarizes the financial results of the Cody API business for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

The pretax loss attributable to the Cody API business during the three months ended September 30, 2019 includes a full impairment of a $1.2 million ROU lease asset that was recorded upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 on July 1, 2019.

Note 20. Subsequent Event

On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of real estate associated with the Cody API business. The total consideration the Company will receive in connection with the sale is $3.8 million before fees and selling costs. The carrying value of the real estate was included within the Assets Held for Sale line of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020. The Company expects to complete the sale by the end of the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The remaining real estate formerly associated with the Cody API business is currently leased to a third party.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. All references to “Fiscal 2021” or “Fiscal Year 2021” shall mean the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 and all references to “Fiscal 2020” or “Fiscal Year 2020” shall mean the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

Company Overview

Lannett Company, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “Lannett”, “we” or “us”) primarily develop, manufacture, package, market and distribute solid oral and extended release (tablets and capsules), topical, liquids, nasal and oral solution finished dosage forms of drugs, generic forms of both small molecule and biologic medications, that address a wide range of therapeutic areas. Certain of these products are manufactured by others and distributed by the Company. Additionally, the Company is pursuing partnerships, research contracts and internal expansion for the development and production of other dosage forms including: ophthalmic, nasal, patch, foam, buccal, sublingual, suspensions, soft gel, injectable and oral dosages.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, the COVID-19 virus emerged in Wuhan, China and spread to other parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) designated COVID-19 a global pandemic. Governments on the national, state and local level in the United States, and around the world, have implemented lockdown and shelter-in-place orders, requiring many non-essential businesses to shut down operations for the time being. The Company’s business, however, is deemed “essential” and it has continued to operate, manufacture, and distribute its medicines to customers. The Company has developed a comprehensive plan that enables it to maintain operational continuity with an emphasis on manufacturing, distribution and R&D facilities during this crisis, and to date, has not encountered any significant obstacles implementing its business continuity plans. However, the Company continually assesses COVID-19 related developments and adjusts its risk mitigation planning and business continuity activities as needed.

Table of Contents

In mid-March, 2020, the Company instituted a work from home process for all employees, other than employees in our manufacturing plants, distribution center, and R&D facilities which support manufacturing. For employees who cannot perform their job remotely, the Company has implemented enhanced cleaning and sanitizing procedures, weekly fogging and provided additional personal hygiene supplies and personal protective equipment such as rubber gloves, N95 respirators and powered air-purifying respirator that are in line with Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (“CDC”) recommendations. The Company has also implemented thermal screening for all employees entering its plants. Employees are required to adhere to the CDC guidelines, social distancing and any employee experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 is required to stay home and seek medical attention. Any employee who tests positive for COVID-19 is required to quarantine and is not allowed to return to the facilities without a physician’s release. The Company has closed its facilities to outside persons that are not critical to continuing our operations. In cases where they are essential, visitors undergo a pre-admittance check to include a thermal screening and risk evaluation. While the Company has experienced some increased absenteeism, to date the rate of employee absenteeism has not had any material effect on the Company’s business or its ability to manufacture and distribute products and plants continue to operate at normal capacity. As the pandemic continues to spread over time, there is an increased risk of employee absenteeism which could materially impact the Company’s operations. To date, the Company’s work from home process has not materially impacted the Company’s financial reporting systems or controls over financial reporting and disclosures nor do we expect that the remote work arrangement will have a material impact in the future.

Currently and as anticipated for the near future, the supply chain supporting the Company’s products remains intact, enabling the Company to receive sufficient inventory of the key materials needed across the Company’s network. The Company is experiencing some delays and allocations for certain API and other raw materials of higher demand, which, to date, have not had a material impact on its results of operations. However, the Company is regularly communicating with its suppliers, third-party partners, customers, healthcare providers and government officials in order to respond rapidly to any issues as they arise. The longer the current situation continues, it is more likely that the Company may experience some sort of interruption to its supply chain, and such an interruption could materially affect its business, including but not limited to, our ability to timely manufacture and distribute its products as well as unfavorably impact our results of operations. Additionally, subsequent to an initial stocking up of supplies at the start of the pandemic, the total volume of drug prescriptions written during the pandemic has decreased causing less demand for our products. Specifically, the pandemic has resulted in fewer elective surgeries being performed, causing less demand for our Numbrino cocaine hydrochloride product.

As a result of the pandemic, certain clinical trials which were underway or scheduled to begin have been temporarily placed on hold. Such delays will impact the Company’s timing for filing applications for product approvals with the FDA as well as related timing of FDA approval of such filings. Additionally, the pandemic has slowed down the Company’s efforts to expand its product portfolio through acquisitions and distribution opportunities, impacting the speed with which the Company is able to bring additional products to market. While there have been some efforts by some of our customers to increase their inventory levels for the Company’s products in the near term, the Company has not seen significant increases in demand. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in demand for its products in the future, however, depending on the duration and severity of the outbreak, levels of demand may change. The Company currently markets an HIV product, Lopinavir-Ritonavir, which is the subject of clinical trials by various health organizations to combat the virus. Several of those clinical trials were subsequently halted when the product did not show any significant efficacy in treating the virus. Other trials remain ongoing. If those clinical trials show the product to be helpful in combating the virus, which some trials have not, the Company may see an increase in demand. There are other sources of the product including the original brand.

In light of the economic impacts of COVID-19, the Company performed a review of the assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020, including intangible and other long-lived assets. Based on our review, we continue to believe that we will be able to realize the full value of our assets and that a triggering event does not exist at this time. As such, no impairments or other write-downs were recorded during the first three months of Fiscal Year 2021 specifically related to COVID-19. The Company continues to assess our inventory reserve based on the current level of demand, which may be impacted by the ongoing pandemic. Our assessment was based on information currently available and is highly reliant on various assumptions which include estimates of future cash flows and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows. Changes in market conditions or other changes in the future outlook may lead to impairments in the future.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s outstanding debt balance was $691.2 million, of which $81.3 million represents the current portion. In addition, the Company’s existing revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on November 25, 2020. The impacts of COVID-19 have adversely affected the capital markets and the ability for many companies to access capital and liquidity on favorable terms or at all. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and cash flows to meet its operating and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the September 30, 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Company is currently unable to predict the precise impact that COVID-19 will have on its ability to access capital in the future. If the Company is unable to access additional capital and liquidity on acceptable terms, it could adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its future obligations beyond the next twelve months subsequent to the issuance of the September 30, 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements as well as unfavorably impact our results of operations.

Based on the foregoing, the Company cannot reasonably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our future results of operations and cash flows due to the continued uncertainty around the duration and severity of the pandemic.

2020 Restructuring Plan

On July 10, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a restructuring and cost savings plan (the “2020 Restructuring Plan”). The purpose of the 2020 Restructuring Plan is to enhance manufacturing efficiencies, streamline operations and reduce the Company’s cost structure, and was implemented, in part, as a result of previously anticipated near-term competition and pricing pressure with respect to certain key products. The 2020 Restructuring Plan includes the consolidation of the Company’s research and development (R&D) function into a single location in Philadelphia, PA, lowering operating costs and reducing the workforce by approximately 80 positions, equal to approximately 8.5% of the Company’s total number of employees. The 2020 Restructuring Plan was initiated on July 13, 2020 and is substantially complete as of September 30, 2020.

The Company incurred approximately $4.0 million in severance-related costs in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, in connection with the 2020 Restructuring Plan. The Company expects the 2020 Restructuring Plan to result in annual cost savings in excess of $15.0 million.

Financial Summary

For the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021, net sales decreased to $126.5 million as compared to $127.3 million in the same prior-year period. Gross profit decreased to $25.7 million compared to $42.7 million in the prior-year period and gross profit percentage decreased to 20% compared to 33% in the prior-year period. R&D expenses decreased 27% to $6.5 million compared to $8.9 million in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2020 while SG&A expenses decreased 29% to $15.1 million from $21.3 million. Restructuring expenses increased to $4.0 million compared to $1.4 million in the prior-year period. Operating loss for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 was $15 thousand compared to operating income of $9.4 million in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2020, which included asset impairment charges totaling $1.6 million. Net loss for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 was $6.5 million, or $(0.17) per diluted share. Comparatively, net loss in the prior-year period was $12.2 million, or $(0.32) per diluted share.

A more detailed discussion of the Company’s financial results can be found below.

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2019

Net sales decreased 1% to $126.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The table below identifies the Company’s net product sales by medical indication for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Total net sales	$	126,479	$	127,342

The slight decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in the selling price of products of $21.5 million offset by increased volumes of $20.7 million. The decrease in the selling price of products was primarily driven by lower sales prices of Fluphenazine, which is included within the Anti-Psychosis medical indication, due to a new competitor entering the market, as well as lower average selling price across the remaining medical indications. Overall volumes increased primarily due to new product launches, partially offset by lower volumes of Fluphenazine.

In January 2017, a provision in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 required drug manufacturers to pay additional rebates to state Medicaid programs if the prices of their generic drugs rise at a rate faster than inflation. The provision negatively impacted the Company’s net sales by $4.3 million and $10.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Cocaine Hydrochloride Solution

In December 2017, a competitor received approval from the FDA to market and sell a Cocaine Hydrochloride topical product. The approval affected the Company’s right to market and sell its unapproved cocaine hydrochloride solution product. According to FDA guidance, the FDA typically allows the marketing of unapproved products for up to one year following the approval of an NDA for the product. Upon the request of the FDA to cease manufacturing and distributing our unapproved cocaine hydrochloride solution product as a result of an approved product on the market, the Company committed to not manufacture or distribute cocaine hydrochloride 10% solution, which was not sold during Fiscal 2019. The Company also ceased manufacturing its unapproved cocaine hydrochloride 4% solution on June 15, 2019 and ceased distributing the product on August 15, 2019.

The competitor filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA in February 2019, claiming that the grant of the New Chemical Entity (“NCE”) exclusivity blocks the approval of the Company’s application for five years and requesting that the FDA refuse to accept any further submissions in furtherance of the Company’s Section 505(b)(2) NDA application, treat as withdrawn any submissions made by the Company after December 2017 and withdraw the Company’s Section 505(b)(2) application. On April 24, 2019, the Company filed an opposition to the Citizen Petition requesting that it be denied. On July 3, 2019, the FDA denied the competitor’s Citizen Petition. Thereafter, the competitor filed a second Citizen Petition claiming that the FDA should rescind the acceptance of the Company’s Section 505(b)(2) application and only permit the Company to re-submit the application as an ANDA after the expiration of the competitor’s five-year exclusivity. The Company filed an opposition to the second Citizen Petition asserting, among other things, that the FDA should summarily deny the second Citizen Petition as an improper attempt to delay competition. On January 10, 2020, the FDA denied the second Citizen Petition and the FDA approved the Company’s Section 505(b)(2) NDA application. On January 27, 2020, the competitor filed a complaint against the FDA seeking an order invalidating the approval of the Company’s 505(b)(2) NDA, claiming the approval violates the competitor’s five-year exclusivity. On February 14, 2020, the Company filed a motion to intervene in the competitor’s lawsuit in order to argue that the request for relief be denied. On April 15, 2020, the competitor filed a motion for summary judgment. The Company and FDA filed responses in opposition and cross motions for summary judgement requesting dismissal of the complaint. The parties submitted further reply briefs and are awaiting a decision by the Court. On September 15, 2020, the Court granted summary judgment in part to the competitor on one of the counts of the complaint. While the Court agreed with the FDA that the competitor’s NCE exclusivity did not block the approval of the Company’s 505(b)(2) application, the Court found that the FDA erred by not requiring the Company to submit a patent certification. The Court requested that the parties file a joint status report indicating the remedy the Court should order to correct the error. The FDA and the Company requested the Court order the case remanded to the FDA without vacating the Company’s 505(b)(2) approval. The competitor requested the Court remand the case to the FDA while also vacating the Company’s 505(b)(2) approval. On October 7, 2020, the Court held a status conference and ordered that the competitor file a motion to vacate on October 16, 2020, and the FDA and the Company to file an opposition and cross motion for reconsideration on October 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

On June 6, 2020, the competitor filed a patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, asserting that the Company’s approved cocaine hydrochloride product infringes three patents issued to the competitor. On June 19, 2020, the Company filed an answer and counterclaim, alleging that the Company either does not infringe or the three asserted patents are invalid. In addition, the Company sought a declaration that, as to the competitor’s three additional patents not asserted against the Company, they are either not infringed or invalid. The competitor filed a motion to dismiss a portion of the counterclaim and the Company filed a response in opposition to the motion. The Company continues to market its approved cocaine hydrochloride product.

Thalomid®

The Company filed with the FDA an ANDA No. 206601, along with a paragraph IV certification, alleging that the fifteen patents associated with the Thalomid drug product are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. On January 30, 2015, Celgene Corporation and Children’s Medical Center Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging that the Company’s filing of ANDA No. 206601 constitutes an act of patent infringement and seeking a declaration that the patents at issue are valid and infringed. A settlement agreement was reached, and the Court dismissed the lawsuit in October 2017. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company entered into a license agreement that permitted Lannett to manufacture and market in the U.S. its generic thalidomide product as of August 1, 2019 or earlier under certain circumstances. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company received a Major Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) related to issues at its API supplier. The Company filed a response to the CRL. The Company received a second Major CRL in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 related to continued issues at the API supplier, as well as issues with the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”) program hosted by Celgene. The Company is working on addressing the FDA comments and expects its product launch could be delayed until Fiscal Year 2022.

Ranitidine Oral Solution, USP

As part of an industry-wide action, the Company issued a voluntary recall on all lots within expiry of Ranitidine Syrup (Ranitidine Oral Solution, USP), 15mg/mL to the consumer level due to levels of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (“NDMA”), a probable human carcinogen, above the levels recently established by the FDA. On September 17, 2019, the FDA notified the Company about the possible presence of NDMA in its Ranitidine Oral Solution product and the Company immediately commenced testing and analysis of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) and drug product and confirmed the presence of NDMA. The Company’s net sales of Ranitidine Oral Solution in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 totaled $1.9 million. On April 1, 2020, the FDA ordered all Ranitidine products (including the Company’s product) withdrawn from the US market and provided guidance on the requirements for submitting additional information to the FDA in order to re-introduce the product to the market. Since initiating the voluntary recall, the Company has not been marketing its Ranitidine Oral Solution product and has no future plans to attempt to re-introduce the product at this time. The Company does not believe the recall will have a significant impact on our future expected financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On June 1, 2020, a class action complaint was served upon the Company and approximately forty-five (45) other companies asserting claims for personal injury arising from the presence of NDMA in Ranitidine products. The complaint is consolidated in a multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. A similar complaint was filed in state court in New Mexico and served upon the Company by the State of Mexico in July 2020. The Company has learned that several other similar class action complaints naming the Company and others were filed but, to date, none of those complaints have been served upon the Company. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint filed in the MDL and has filed a motion to transfer the complaint filed in the New Mexico state court to the MDL. The Company has placed its insurance carrier on notice of the claim and the carrier has appointed counsel to defend the Company.

Cost of Sales, including amortization of intangibles. Cost of sales, including amortization of intangibles, for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 increased 19% to $100.8 million from $84.7 million in the same prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to product mix as well as increased product royalties expense related to various distribution agreements. Product royalties expense included in cost of sales totaled $18.1 million for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 and $16.3 million for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2020. Amortization expense included in cost of sales totaled $8.6 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 and $7.0 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 decreased 40% to $25.7 million or 20% of net sales. In comparison, gross profit for the first quarter of Fiscal 2020 was $42.7 million or 33% of net sales. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to lower volumes of Fluphenazine, which had higher than average gross profit margins, as well as overall lower average selling prices of our products and increased product royalties expense related to various distribution agreements.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 decreased 27% to $6.5 million from $8.9 million in Fiscal Year 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower R&D expenses as a result of timing of certain milestones related to product development projects as well as employee headcount reductions related to the 2020 Restructuring Plan.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 29% to $15.1 million in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 compared with $21.3 million in Fiscal Year 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower incentive-based compensation, lower expenses at the Company’s Cody Labs subsidiary and other cost reduction initiatives.

Other Income (Loss). Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $14.5 million compared to $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a lower weighted-average debt balance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior-year period as well as a lower weighted-average interest rate due to the partial repayment of the outstanding Term Loan A balance with proceeds from the issuance of the Notes. The weighted average interest rate for the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 and 2020 was 8.0% and 9.8%, respectively.

Income Tax. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $8.0 million in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 as compared to an income tax expense of $1.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 55.1%, compared to (17.2)% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was higher compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the CARES Act, which increased the interest expense deductibility limitation in the current year and also allowed the Company to carry back its taxable loss into a prior fiscal year, where the statutory tax rate was 35%.

Net Loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported net loss of $6.5 million, or $(0.17) per diluted share. Comparatively, net loss in the corresponding prior-year period was $12.2 million, or $(0.32) per diluted share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow

The Company has historically financed its operations with cash flow generated from operations supplemented with borrowings from various government agencies and financial institutions. At September 30, 2020, working capital was $223.0 million as compared to $228.3 million at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $5.3 million. Current product portfolio sales as well as sales related to future product approvals are anticipated to generate positive cash flow from operations.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in operating activities of $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflected net loss of $6.5 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $18.6 million, as well as cash used through changes in operating assets and liabilities of $24.3 million. In comparison, net cash provided by operating activities of $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 reflected net loss of $12.2 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $23.0 million, as well as cash used through changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.6 million.

Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities from June 30, 2020 to September 30, 2020 were comprised of:

●

An increase in accounts receivable of $13.1 million mainly due to the timing of sales and cash receipts. The Company’s days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at September 30, 2020, based on gross sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2020, was 70 days. The level of DSO at September 30, 2020 was comparable to the Company’s expectation that DSO will be in the 70 to 85-day range based on customer payment terms.

●

An increase in income taxes receivable totaling $5.1 million primarily due to additional estimated tax refunds related to provisions of the CARES Act.

●

A decrease in accrued payroll and payroll-related costs of $6.7 million primarily related to payments made in August 2020 in connection with incentive-based compensation accrued in Fiscal Year 2020 as well as the timing of payroll payments.

●

An increase in accounts payable totaling $15.0 million primarily due to the timing of vendor invoices and payments.

Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities from June 30, 2019 to September 30, 2019 were comprised of:

●

An increase in accounts receivable of $8.4 million mainly due to the timing of sales and product launches in the first quarter of Fiscal 2020. The Company’s days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at September 30, 2019, based on gross sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2019, was 81 days. The level of DSO at September 30, 2019 was comparable to the Company’s expectation that DSO will be in the 70 to 85-day range based on customer payment terms.

●

An increase in accounts payable totaling $13.4 million primarily due to the timing of payments.

●

A decrease in accrued payroll and payroll-related costs of $7.6 million primarily related to payments made in August 2019 in connection with incentive compensation accrued in Fiscal Year 2019, partially offset by the timing of payroll payments.

●

A decrease in other assets totaling $6.8 million primarily due to receipt of an indemnification asset from UCB related to a government pricing contract compliance review.

Net cash used in investing activities of $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was mainly the result of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $3.2 million and purchases of intangible assets of $3.0 million. Net cash used in investing activities of $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was mainly the result of purchases of intangible assets of $23.5 million and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $4.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $6.3 million.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities of $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was due to debt repayments of $16.7 million and purchases of treasury stock totaling $0.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from issuance of stock pursuant to stock compensation plans of $0.3 million. Net cash used in financing activities of $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was due to debt repayments of $96.6 million, purchase of a capped call in connection with the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes offering totaling $7.1 million, payments of debt issuance costs totaling $3.5 million, and purchases of treasury stock totaling $1.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes of $86.3 million and proceeds from issuance of stock pursuant to stock compensation plans of $0.2 million.

Credit Facility and Other Indebtedness

The Company has previously entered into and may enter future agreements with various government agencies and financial institutions to provide additional cash to help finance the Company’s acquisitions, various capital investments and potential strategic opportunities. These borrowing arrangements as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:

Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility

On November 25, 2015, in connection with its acquisition of KUPI, Lannett entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (the “Credit and Guaranty Agreement”) among certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, as guarantors, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent and other lenders providing for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of Term Loan A in an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million, Term Loan B in an aggregate principal amount of $635.0 million and a revolving credit facility providing for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million.

On June 17, 2016, Lannett amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Credit and Guaranty Agreement to raise an incremental term loan in the principal amount of $150.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and amended certain sections of the agreement (the “Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The terms of this Incremental Term Loan are substantially the same as those applicable to the Term Loan B. The Company used the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan and cash on hand to repurchase the outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Lannett’s 12.0% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Senior Notes”) issued in connection with the KUPI acquisition.

On December 10, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Credit and Guaranty Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio applicable to the financial leverage ratio covenant was increased from 3.25:1.00 to 4.25:1.00 as of December 31, 2019 and prior to September 30, 2020, and then to 4.00:1.00 as of September 30, 2020. The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility is also subject to a minimum liquidity covenant, which provides that the Company shall not permit its liquidity as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than $75.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $108.8 million in addition to availability under our undrawn Revolver totaling $125.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants, which will expire upon repayment of the outstanding Term Loan A on November 25, 2020. The Company anticipates paying down the outstanding Term Loan A balance with cash on hand.

Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 for further details on the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026

On September 27, 2019, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding Term Loan A balance. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and therefore are not included within the calculation of the Secured Net Leverage Ratio under the existing Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50% payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 65.4022 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.29 per share), subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events (but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest). The Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes on or after October 6, 2023 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to certain conditions relating to the Company’s stock price having been met. Following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption. The indenture covering the Notes contains certain other customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company also entered into privately negotiated “capped call” transactions with several counterparties. The capped call transaction will initially cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of common stock that initially underlie the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected to generally reduce the potential dilutive effect on the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes with such reduction subject to a cap which is initially $19.46 per share.

Management plans to attempt, at the appropriate time, to refinance a significant portion of its outstanding long-term debt to reduce principal repayment requirements and eliminate existing financial covenants, which we expect will increase related interest expense, but will positively impact short-term cash flows.

Other Liquidity Matters

Refer to the “Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for the impact on our future liquidity.

Future Acquisitions

We are continuously evaluating the potential for product and company acquisitions as a part of our future growth strategy. In conjunction with a potential acquisition, the Company may utilize current resources or seek additional sources of capital to finance any such acquisition, which could have an impact on future liquidity.

We may also from time to time depending on market conditions and prices, contractual restrictions, our financial liquidity and other factors, seek to prepay outstanding debt or repurchase our outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, or otherwise. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material and may be funded from available cash or from additional borrowings.

Research and Development Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into certain research and development and other arrangements. As part of these arrangements, the Company has agreed to certain contingent payments which generally become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory, commercial and/or other milestones. In addition, under certain arrangements, we may be required to make royalty payments based on a percentage of future sales, or other metric, for products currently in development in the event that the Company begins to market and sell the product. Due to the inherent uncertainty related to these developmental, regulatory, commercial and/or other milestones, it is unclear if the Company will ever be required to make such payments.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission requires the use of estimates and assumptions. A listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies is detailed in Note 3 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” A subsection of these accounting policies has been identified by management as “Critical Accounting Policies.” Critical accounting policies are those which require management to make estimates using assumptions that were uncertain at the time the estimates were made and for which the use of different assumptions, which reasonably could have been used, could have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations.

Management has identified the following as “Critical Accounting Policies”: Revenue Recognition, Inventories, Income Taxes, Business Combinations, Valuation of Long-Lived Assets, including Intangible Assets, In-Process Research and Development and Share-based Compensation.

Revenue Recognition

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which superseded ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss of promised goods or services have transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is expected to be entitled. Our revenue consists almost entirely of sales of our pharmaceutical products to customers, whereby we ship product to a customer pursuant to a purchase order. Revenue contracts such as these do not generally give rise to contract assets or contract liabilities because: (i) the underlying contracts generally have only a single performance obligation and (ii) we do not generally receive consideration until the performance obligation is fully satisfied. The new revenue standard also impacts the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition by requiring recognition of certain contract manufacturing arrangements to change from “upon shipment or delivery” to “over time”. However, the recognition of these arrangements over time does not currently have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method.

Chargebacks

Rebates

Rebates are offered to the Company’s key chain drug store, distributor and wholesaler customers to promote customer loyalty and increase product sales. These rebate programs provide customers with credits upon attainment of pre-established volumes or attainment of net sales milestones for a specified period. Other promotional programs are incentive programs offered to the customers. Additionally, as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) enacted in the U.S. in March 2010, the Company participates in a new cost-sharing program for certain Medicare Part D beneficiaries designed primarily for the sale of brand drugs and certain generic drugs if their FDA approval was granted under a NDA or 505(b) NDA versus an ANDA. Drugs purchased within the Medicare Part D coverage gap (commonly referred to as the “donut hole”) result in additional rebates. The Company estimates the reserve for rebates and other promotional credit programs based on the specific terms in each agreement when revenue is recognized. The reserve for rebates increases (decreases) as sales to certain wholesale and retail customers increase (decrease). However, since these rebate programs are not identical for all customers, the size of the reserve will depend on the mix of sales to customers that are eligible to receive rebates.

Other Adjustments

Other adjustments consist primarily of “price adjustments, also known as “shelf-stock adjustments” and “price protections,” which are both credits issued to reflect increases or decreases in the invoice or contract prices of the Company’s products. In the case of a price decrease, a credit is given for product remaining in customer’s inventories at the time of the price reduction. Contractual price protection results in a similar credit when the invoice or contract prices of the Company’s products increase, effectively allowing customers to purchase products at previous prices for a specified period of time. Amounts recorded for estimated shelf-stock adjustments and price protections are based upon specified terms with direct customers, estimated changes in market prices and estimates of inventory held by customers. The Company regularly monitors these and other factors and evaluates the reserve as additional information becomes available. Other adjustments also include prompt payment discounts and “failure-to-supply” adjustments. If the Company is unable to fulfill certain customer orders, the customer can purchase products from our competitors at their prices and charge the Company for any difference in our contractually agreed upon prices.

Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 for a description of our remaining Critical Accounting Policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

On November 25, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of KUPI, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended in June 2016. Based on the variable-rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2020, each 1/8% increase in interest rates would yield $0.8 million of incremental annual interest expense. The Company’s variable-rate debt is subject to a 1.0% London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) floor.

The Company has historically invested in equity securities, U.S. government agency securities and corporate bonds, which are exposed to market and interest rate fluctuations. The market value, interest and dividends earned on these investments may vary based on fluctuations in interest rate and market conditions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Lannett’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in Lannett’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in Note 11 “Legal, Regulatory Matters and Contingencies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Lannett Company, Inc’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 includes a detailed description of its risk factors.

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company updated Item 1A. Risk Factors to include the following:

We may incur product liability losses or recall expenses relating to the sale of products containing nitrosamines.

According to FDA guidance, nitrosamine impurities, including, among others, N-nitrosodimethylamine (“NDMA”) may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels and over long periods of time, but a person taking a drug that contains nitrosamines at-or-below the acceptable daily intake limits every day for 70 years is not expected to have an increased risk of cancer. FDA published a guidance entitled “Control of Nitrosamine Impurities in Human Drugs” that recommends steps manufacturers of APIs and drug products should take to detect and prevent unacceptable levels of nitrosamine impurities in pharmaceutical products. Lannett initiated an internal risk assessment and control strategy for nitrosamines prior to issuance of the guidance. In some cases where its marketed products contain nitrosamines above published FDA acceptable levels (such as ranitidine), Lannett may be required to recall affected product, such as Lannett’s ranitidine product, which was subject to an industry wide recall when NDMA was discovered as a byproduct of the manufacturing process. Subsequent to the recall of its ranitidine product, Lannett was named a defendant in a series of product liability lawsuits. Product liability claims and lawsuits, safety alerts, product recalls or corrective actions, regardless of their ultimate outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation and on our ability to attract and retain customers. We are unable to predict at this time if any other Lannett products will be adversely impacted by the global pharmaceutical nitrosamine review.

As part of our risk management policy, we carry third-party product liability insurance coverage; however, the insurance industry recently adopted an exclusion into its comprehensive general liability policies for nitrosamine impurities. To the extent that any of Lannett’s products are subject to recall as a result of nitrosamine impurities and/or is subject to lawsuit arising out of the presence of nitrosamine impurities in its products, such losses may not be covered by insurance and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
