Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 270-10, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim periods presented and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. When used in these notes, the terms “Acorda” or “the Company” mean Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. The December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”. The Company’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from December 31, 2022. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents an escrow account with funds to maintain the interest payments for the remaining scheduled interest payments on the outstanding convertible senior secured notes due 2024 through the interest payment date of June 1, 2023 and an account with funds to cover the Company’s self-funded employee health insurance. At March 31, 2023, the Company also held $ 0.5 million of restricted cash related to cash collateralized standby letters of credit in connection with obligations under facility leases. See Note 10 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of interest payments on the Company's outstanding 6.00 % convertible senior secured notes due December 2024 (“2024 Notes”). The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the statement of cash flows: Three-month period ended March 31, 2023 Three-month period ended March 31, 2022 (In thousands) Beginning of period End of period Beginning of period End of period Cash and cash equivalents $ 37,536 $ 30,255 $ 45,634 $ 31,873 Restricted cash 6,884 6,989 13,400 13,393 Restricted cash non-current 255 510 6,189 6,189 Total Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash per statement of cash flows $ 44,675 $ 37,754 $ 65,223 $ 51,455 Investments Short-term investments consist primarily of high-grade commercial paper and corporate bonds. The Company classifies marketable securities available to fund current operations as short-term investments in current assets on its consolidated balance sheets. Marketable securities are classified as long-term investments in long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets if the Company has the ability and intent to hold them and such holding period is longer than one year. The Company classifies all its investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at the fair value of the investments based on quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, which are determined to be temporary, are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Premiums and discounts on investments are amortized over the life of the related available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective‑interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Amortized premiums and discounts, dividend and interest income are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are included in other income. There were no investments classified as short-term or long-term at March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Inventory The following table provides the major classes of inventory: (In thousands) March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Raw materials $ 11,061 $ 6,212 Finished goods 2,404 6,540 Total $ 13,465 $ 12,752 The Company reviews inventory, including inventory purchase commitments, for slow moving or obsolete amounts based on expected product sales volume and provides reserves against the carrying amount of inventory as appropriate. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of operations outside the U.S. is deemed to be the currency of the local country, unless otherwise determined that the U.S. dollar would serve as a more appropriate functional currency given the economic operations of the entity. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, Biotie, are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate; and income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rate during the period; and equity transactions are translated at historical rates. Cumulative translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are charged to operations and reported in other income (expense) in consolidated statements of operations. Segment and Geographic Information The Company is managed and operated as one business which is focused on developing therapies that restore function and improve the lives of people with neurological disorders. The entire business is managed by a single management team that reports to the Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not operate separate lines of business with respect to any of its products or product candidates and the Company does not prepare discrete financial information to allocate resources to separate products or product candidates or by location. Accordingly, the Company views its business as one reportable operating segment. Net product revenues reported are substantially derived from the sales of Inbrija and Ampyra in the U.S. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful lives of its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization and property plant and equipment, may warrant revision or that the carrying value of the assets may be impaired. The Company evaluates the realizability of its long-lived assets based on profitability and cash flow expectations for the related assets. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include significant changes in the use of any assets, changes in historical trends in operating performance, changes in projected operating performance, stock price, loss of a major customer, and significant negative economic trends. The decline in the trading price of the Company’s common stock during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, and related decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, was determined to be a triggering event in connection with the Company’s review of the recoverability of its long-lived assets for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The Company performed a recoverability test as of March 31, 2023 using the undiscounted cash flows, which are the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the direct use of the long-lived assets compared to the carrying value of the long-lived assets. Estimates of future cash flows were based on the Company’s own assumptions about its own use of the long-lived assets. The cash flow estimation period was based on the long-lived assets’ estimated remaining useful life to the Company. After performing the recoverability test, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value and the long-lived assets were not impaired. Changes in these assumptions and resulting valuations could result in future long-lived asset impairment charges. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, no other impairment indicators were noted by the Company. Management will continue to monitor any changes in circumstances for indicators of impairment. Any write‑downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets. Liquidity The Company’s ability to meet its future operating requirements, repay its liabilities, meet its other obligations, and continue as a going concern are dependent upon a number of factors, including its ability to generate cash from product sales, reduce expenditures, and obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from the sale of its products, the Company will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, subject to the restrictions contained in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, such as further reducing expenses, selling assets, restructuring debt, or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous and which are likely to be highly dilutive. Also, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and repay or restructure its indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time, among other factors. In addition, financing may not be available when needed, at all, on terms acceptable to the Company or in accordance with the restrictions described above. As a result of these factors, the Company may not be able to engage in any of the alternative activities, or engage in such activities on desirable terms, which could harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as result in a default on the Company’s debt obligations. If the Company is unable to take these actions, it may be forced to significantly alter its business strategy, substantially curtail its current operations, or cease operations altogether. At March 3 1, 2023, the Company had $ 30.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $ 37.5 million at December 31, 2022. The Company’s March 31, 2023 cash and cash equivalents balance does not include $ 7.5 million of restricted cash, of which $ 6.2 million is currently held in escrow for payment of the June 1, 2023 interest payment on the 2024 Notes, $ 0.8 million is related to self-funded employee health insurance, and $ 0.5 million is related to collateralized standby letters of credit. The Company incurred a net loss of $ 16.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The Company assesses and determines its ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financials Statements—Going Concern” (“ASC Topic 205-40”), which requires the Company to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that its annual and interim consolidated financial statements are issued. Certain additional financial statement disclosures are required if such conditions or events are identified. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting. Determining the extent, if any, to which conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, or the extent to which mitigating plans sufficiently alleviate any such substantial doubt, as well as whether or not liquidation is imminent, requires significant judgment by management. The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements contained in this report are issued. In June 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $ 1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Company had 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. On November 11, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders in order to authorize the Board of Directors to approve the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of any whole number in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20 within one year following the conclusion of the special meeting, which proposal was approved by stockholders. After a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel in February 2023, the Company was granted an extension until June 20, 2023 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. In the event the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by June 20, 2023, the Company has committed to effecting the reverse stock split authorized by the Company’s stockholders in November 2022. The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to cover its cash flow requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. However, the Company’s future requirements may change and will depend on numerous factors, some of which may be beyond the Company’s control. Subsequent Events Subsequent events are defined as those events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company completed an evaluation of the impact of any subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued, and determined there were subsequent events that required disclosure in these financial statements. See Note 14 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of subsequent events. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models which require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. |
