| BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, JG Pharma, Inc. (“JG” or “JG Pharma”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
| Emerging Growth Company |
Emerging Growth Company From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, the Company upon completion of a public offering would meet the definition of an emerging growth company and would elect the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. |
| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include provisions for product returns, coupons, rebates, chargebacks, discounts, allowances and distribution fees paid to certain wholesalers, inventory realization and useful lives of amortizable intangible assets. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected. |
| Segment Information |
Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. |
| Cash |
Cash The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted entirely of cash in institutions in the United States. Balances at certain institutions have exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. |
| Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. Periodically, the Company may maintain deposits in financial institutions in excess of government insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as the Company’s deposits are held at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Company has not experienced any losses on these deposits. The Company’s accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from drug wholesalers and specialty pharmacies in the United States. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of customers and does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts experience, and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company. Accounts receivables balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected. See Note 16 for significant customers. |
| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of this revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenues primarily result from contracts with customers, which are generally short-term and have a single performance obligation – the delivery of product. The Company’s performance obligation to deliver products is satisfied at the point in time that the goods are received by the customer, which is when the customer obtains title to and has the risks and rewards of ownership of the products. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Many of the Company’s products sold are subject to trade discounts, rebates, coupons and right of return. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for variable consideration, including discounts, rebates, governmental rebate programs, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, promotional programs and other sales allowances. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as reductions in determining net sales and as a contra asset in accounts receivable, net (if settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of judgements about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The following section briefly describes the nature of the Company’s provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated. Trade Discounts and Other Sales Allowances — The Company provides trade discounts and allowances to its wholesale customers for sales order management, data, and distribution services. The Company also provides for prompt pay discounts if payment is received within the payment term days which generally range from 30 to 75 days. These discounts and allowances have been recorded as a reduction of revenue and a reduction to accounts receivables. Product Returns — Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers customers a right to return any unused product and such right of return commences six months prior to product expiration date and ends one year after product expiration date. Products returned for expiration are reimbursed at current price less 5%. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and accrues this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return reserves using available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility and estimates into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. The Company currently estimates products returns to be approximately 3% of gross sales to the wholesalers. The 3% rate is estimated by using both historical and industry data. On a quarterly basis, the Company monitors products returns and will adjust this percentage if needed. The Company does not estimate returns for sales made to the specialty pharmacies as their historical ordering pattern is approximately every weeks and as such, inventory turns every weeks. Government Chargebacks — Chargebacks for fees and discounts to indirect qualified government healthcare providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and 340B entities at prices lower than the list prices charged to customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. Customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the statutory selling price to the qualified government entity. These allowances are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and accounts receivables, net. The chargeback amount from the Company’s direct customer is generally determined at the time of their resale to the qualified government healthcare provider by customers, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of its direct customers’ resale to the qualified government healthcare provider, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of its direct customer’s notification to the Company of the resale. The allowance for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s direct customers to indirect customers, as well as estimated wholesaler inventory levels. Government Rebates — The Company is subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and Medicare. These accruals are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom the Company will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program. For Medicaid programs, the Company estimates the portion of sales attributed to Medicaid patients and records a liability for the rebates to be paid to the respective state Medicaid programs. The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for: claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received; estimates of claims for the current quarter; and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but which remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. Coupons — The Company offers coupons on products for qualified commercially-insured parties with prescription drug co-payments. Such product sales flow through both traditional wholesaler and specialty pharmacy channels. Approximately 85% of the Company’s product revenues are sold through the specialty pharmacy channel, which has a shorter cycle from the Company’s sales date to the fulfilment of the prescription by the specialty pharmacy customer, resulting in less inventory in this channel. Coupons are processed and redeemed at the time of prescription fulfilment by the pharmacy, and the Company is charged for the coupons redeemed monthly. The majority of coupon liability at the end of the period represents coupons that have been redeemed and for which the Company has been billed, and an accrual for expected redemptions for product in the distribution channel. This element of the liability requires the Company to estimate the distribution channel inventory at period end, the expected redemption rates, and the cost per coupon claim that the Company expects to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of product remaining in the distribution channel is comprised of actual inventory at the wholesaler as well as an estimate of inventory at the specialty pharmacies, which the Company estimates based upon historical ordering patterns, which consist of reordering approximately every two weeks. The estimated redemption rate is based on historical redemptions as a percentage of units sold. The cost per coupon is based on the coupon rate. Managed Care Rebates — The Company offers managed care rebates to certain providers. The Company calculates rebate payment amounts due under this program based on actual qualifying products and applies a contractual discount rate. The accrual is based on an estimate of claims that the Company expects to receive and inventory in the distribution channel. The accrual is recognized at the time of sale, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. |
| Accounts Receivable |
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of amounts due to the Company for product sales. The Company’s accounts receivable reflects discounts for estimated early payment. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |
| Inventories |
Inventories Inventories comprise raw materials and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. The acquired Qbrezxa finished goods inventory includes a fair value step-up of $6.5 million, which will be expensed within cost of sales, as the inventory is sold to customers. All of the step-up finished goods inventory is expected to be sold in 2021. The Qbrezxa finished goods inventory fair value step-up expensed as a component of cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $3.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively. |
| Property and Equipment |
Property and Equipment Computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the term of the respective leases. |
| Intangible Assets |
Intangible Assets Intangible assets are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairments. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which represents the estimated life of the product. Amortization is calculated primarily using the straight-line method. During the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into certain licenses and asset purchase agreements. Potential milestone payments for achieving sales targets or regulatory development milestones are recorded when it is probable of achievement. Upon a milestone payment being achieved, the milestone payment will be capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life for approved products and expensed for milestones prior to FDA approval. Royalty payments are recorded as cost of goods sold as sales are recognized. |
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the long-lived asset in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. |
| Leases |
Leases Effective January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred. In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. |
| Contingencies |
Contingencies The Company records accruals for contingencies and legal proceedings expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. |
| Stock-based Compensation |
Stock-based Compensation The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards and actual forfeitures. The fair value of the Company’s common stock underlying the stock options is also an input to the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company engages an independent third-party valuation firm to provide an estimate of the fair value of its common stock annually, utilizing input from management. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including valuations of guideline public companies, transactions of guideline public companies, discounts for lack of control transactions, lack of liquidity of the Company’s common stock and the general and industry-specific economic outlook. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of a number of assumptions including the fair value of the common stock, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and the expected term of the option. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
| Research and Development Costs |
Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. Upfront and milestone payments due to third parties that perform research and development services on the Company’s behalf will be expensed as services are rendered or when the milestone is achieved. Research and development costs primarily consist of personnel related expenses, stock-based compensation, payments made to third parties for license and milestone costs related to in-licensed products and technology, payments made to third party contract research organizations. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 730-10-25-1, Research and Development, costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged to research and development expense if the technology licensed has not reached commercial feasibility and has no alternative future use. Such licenses purchased by the Company require substantial completion of research and development, regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach commercial feasibility and have no alternative future use. |
| Allocated Parent Cost |
Allocated Parent Cost Certain Parent costs associated with the activities of the Company have been allocated. The expense allocations to Journey are employee and stock-based compensation for finance and accounting services provided to the Company based on time spent on Journey projects. The allocations were based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the allocated expenses were approximately $0.2 million and nil, respectively, and were recorded to selling, general and administration expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the allocated expenses were approximately $0.4 million and nil, respectively, and were recorded to selling, general and administration expenses. |
| Income Taxes |
Income Taxes As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company is included in the Fortress consolidated federal tax return and consolidated or combined state tax returns in multiple jurisdictions. The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company’s activities during the current and preceding periods pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of the Fortress consolidated income tax return group. Fortress has agreed that the Company does not have to make payments to Fortress for the Company’s use of net operating losses (“NOLs”) of Fortress (including other Fortress group members) alternatively any Company NOLs will accrue to the benefit of Fortress. Since Fortress does not require the Company to pay in any form for the utilization of the consolidated group’s NOLs, the tax benefit the Company realizes has been recorded as a capital contribution and any Company NOLs accrued to Fortress’ benefit would be a deemed dividend. The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative tax and book income incurred since inception, and the other positive and negative evidence, and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any significant change to the unrecognized tax benefit balance. The Company would classify interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense, if applicable. There was no interest expense or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in 2021 or 2020. |
| Earnings Per Share |
Earnings Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to dilutive potential common shares for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), determined using the treasury stock method. See Note 18 below. |
| Comprehensive Income |
Comprehensive Income The Company has no components of other comprehensive income, and therefore, comprehensive income equals net income. |
| Recently Adopted/Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2021, the Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2021, the FASB issued 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). This ASU reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU will be effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. |
