Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management continually re-evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management’s evaluation could change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. In the case the implicit rate is not available, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information availableamounts held as collateral for letters of credit for leases for office space at the lease commencement date, including publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics,Company’s Washington, D.C. headquarters.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018,December 2019, the U.S. SecuritiesFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which clarifies and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. This final rule amendssimplifies certain disclosure requirements that are redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expand the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliationaspects of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each periodaccounting for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final ruletaxes. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the Company for all filings made on or after November 5, 2018. The SEC staff clarifiedimpact that the first presentation of the changes in shareholders' equity may be included in the first Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the effective date of the amendments. The adoption of the final rule did notthis standard will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company updated the disclosure

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments. The standard will requirerequires the use of a forward-looking “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluatingadoption of this standard to determine if adoption willon January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s accounts receivable and marketable securities balances and relatedCompany's condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.results.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which was further clarified by ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements, issued in July 2018. ASC 842 supersedes existing lease guidance, including ASC 840 Leases. The new leasing standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new leasing standard requires that lessees will need to recognize an ROU asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases, and allows companies to make a policy election as to whether short term leases will be recognized under the requirements of the new standard. The Company elected to exclude short-term leases in the application of the new standard. The lease liability is equal to the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the liability subject to certain adjustments. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense, similar to accounting for operating leases under ASC 840, while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern, similar to accounting for capital leases under ASC 840.

The Company adopted the new leasing standard in the first quarter of 2019, using a modified retrospective transition. There was no impact to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the effective date of January 1, 2019 as a result of adoption. Prior period financial statements were not recast. The Company elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed it to carryforward its historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The adoption of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of $15.8 million of operating lease liabilities, $2.2 million of which were classified as current liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets of $12.2 million, net of lease prepayments and the balance of deferred lease incentives. The Company does not have any financing leases.

4. Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
 
Level 1 — defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 — defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 — defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions
Marketable securitiesThe Company's assets classified in Level 1 and Level 2 as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 consist of cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities. The valuation of Level 1 instruments is determined using a market approach and is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The valuation of investments classified in Level 2 instruments is also determined using a market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 securities include certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes and asset-backed securities that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. The Company did not transfer any assets between Level 2 and Level 1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as follows:

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has notnever paid cash dividends to its stockholders since its inception (other than a dividend of preferred share purchase rights, which was declared in September 2008) and does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for employee and director stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 20182019 were as follows:

13.11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company recorded income tax benefitexpense of $88.1$2.5 million and income tax expensebenefit of $0.1$88.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5.6 million and income tax benefit of $88.1 million, andrespectively. The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by the estimated effective tax rate for the year and the discrete impact of $0.2 million, respectively.net shortfall tax expense related to stock-based compensation activity. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the reduction of the Company's tax valuation allowance against substantially all of its deferred tax assets in the U.S. recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net income tax benefit of $1.6 million was also recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the generation of 2019 research and development and orphan drug credits, partially offset by current taxes payable to certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions and uncertain tax positions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. As a result of the tax valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the U.S., there was no expense for federal income taxes associated with the income before taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Income taxes were recorded related to certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.positions.
The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset each quarter through the review of all available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a tax valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2018, there was a full tax valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets in the U.S.The analysis depends on historical and projected taxable income. Projected taxable income includes significant assumptions related to revenue, commercial expenses and research and development activities. During the three months ended September 30,third quarter of 2019, after considering all available positive and negative evidence, including but not limited to cumulative income in recent periods, historical, current and currentfuture projected results and significant risks and uncertainties related to forecasts, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that substantially all of its deferred taxestax assets in the U.S. are realizable in future periods.
Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position 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 benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. As of September 30, 2019, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (UTB) was $9.7 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 0 UTB. The UTB recognized in 2019 is primarily related to prior year tax positions and has no impact on tax expense as, prior to 2019, a tax A valuation allowance was recordedretained against certain District of Columbia state deferred tax assets in the U.S.

The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019 to change significantly over the next twelve months.
Certain tax attributes of the Company, including net operating losses (NOLs) and credits, would be subject to a limitation should an ownership change as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Section 382, occur. The limitations resulting from a change in ownership could affect the Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs and credit carryforward (tax attributes). Ownership changes occurred in the years ended December 31, 20142020 and December 31, 2008. The Company believes that the ownership changes in 2014 and 2008 will not impact its ability to utilize NOL and credit carryforwards; however, future ownership changes may cause the Company’s existing tax attributes to have additional limitations.2019.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was enacted in December 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. No material measurement period adjustments were recorded in 2018 to adjust estimated effects of the TCJA that were recorded in 2017. Immaterial measurement period adjustments that were recorded resulted in no tax expense as they were fully offset by a change in the Company's valuation allowance.
14.12. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potential outstanding common stock for the period. Potential outstanding common stock includes stock options and shares underlying RSUs, but only to the extent that their inclusion is dilutive.

These lawsuits have been consolidated with the claims ofother lawsuits against the ‘487 Patent.HETLIOZ® Defendants and are also scheduled for trial in July 2021.
Other Matters. In April 2018, the Company submitted a protocol amendment to the FDA, proposing a 52-week open-label extension (OLE) period for patients who had completed the tradipitant Phase II clinical study (2301) in gastroparesis. In May 2018, based on feedback from the FDA, the Company amended the protocol limiting the duration of treatment in the 2301 study to a total of three months, while continuing to seek further dialogue with the FDA on extending the study duration to 52-weeks. As a part of this negotiation process, in September 2018, the Company submitted a new follow-on 52-week OLE protocol to the FDA (2302) for patients who had completed the 2301 study. While waiting for further feedback, the Company did not enroll any patients in any study beyond 12 weeks. In December 2018, the FDA imposed a partial clinical hold (PCH) on the two proposed studies, stating that the Company is required first to conduct additional chronic toxicity studies in canines, monkeys or minipigs before allowing patients access in any clinical protocol beyond 12 weeks. The original PCH was not based on any safety or efficacy data related to tradipitant. Rather, the FDA informed the Company that these additional toxicity studies are required by a guidance document.
On February 5, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (DC District Court), challenging the FDA’s legal authority to issue the PCH, and seeking an order to set it aside. In February 2019, the FDA filed a Motion for Voluntary Remand to the Agency and for a Stay of the Case. In March 2019, the DC District Court granted the FDA’s request for voluntary remand and returned the matter to the FDA for further consideration. In April 2019, the FDA provided its remand response, in which it indicated that, upon review of scientific literature and tradipitant data, it believes that a partial clinical hold continues to be appropriate until the Company has adequate safety data from a 9-month non-rodent toxicity study. After reviewing the FDA’s remand response, the Company continues to believe that additional chronic toxicity studies are unjustified, and that it has provided the FDA with sufficient information regarding the safety of tradipitant to justify the continued study of tradipitant in patients beyond 12 weeks, in accordance with applicable law and FDA regulations. In May 2019, the Company filed an amended complaint, and in July 2019, the Company filed a Motion for

Summary Judgment. The FDA filed a reply and cross-motion for summary judgment in October 2019. A hearing has been set for December 13, 2019. The Company intends to continue vigorously pursuing its interests in the matter.
In February 2019, a qui tam action filed against the Company was unsealed by order of the DC District Court. The qui tam action, which was filed under seal in March 2017, was brought by a former Company employee on behalf of the U.S., 28 states and the District of Columbia (collectively, the Plaintiff States) and the policyholders of certain insurance companies under the Federal False Claims Act and state law equivalents to the Federal False Claims Act and related state laws. The complaint alleged that the Company violated these laws through the promotion and marketing of its products Fanapt® and HETLIOZ® and sought, among other things, treble damages, civil penalties for each alleged false claim, and attorneys’ fees and costs. By virtue of the DC District Court having unsealed the original complaint, the Company learned that in January 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice (the DOJ), as well as the Plaintiff States, elected not to intervene in the qui tam action at that time. In May 2019, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint under seal repeating the same allegations and seeking the same relief. In August 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, and in October 2019 the plaintiff filed a reply. According to a filing unsealed in June 2019, the DOJ reaffirmed its decision not to intervene and incorporated its prior filing, indicating that neither the DOJ nor the Plaintiff States were intervening regarding the original complaint. Although the DOJ and the Plaintiff States have elected not to intervene, the plaintiff may litigate this action and the DOJ and the Plaintiff States may later seek to intervene in the action. In August 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, and in October 2019 the plaintiff filed a reply. In May 2020, the DC District Court dismissed the plaintiff’s complaint in its entirety, without prejudice. In June 2020, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint with similar allegations and seeking the same relief. In July 2020, the Company filed another motion to dismiss and in October 2020 the plaintiff filed a reply. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in the case.
In February 2019, a securities class action, Gordon v. Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York naming the Company and certain of its officers as defendants. An amended complaint was filed in July 2019. The amended complaint, filed on behalf of a purported stockholder, asserts claims on behalf of a putative class of all persons who purchased the Company’s publicly traded securities between November 4, 2015 and February 11, 2019, for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omissions regarding Fanapt®, HETLIOZ® and the Company’s interactions with the FDA regarding tradipitant between November 3, 2015 and February 11, 2019. In March 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. The Company does not anticipate that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. However, this lawsuit is subject to inherent uncertainties, the actual cost may be significant, and the Company may not prevail. The Company believes it is entitled to coverage under its relevant insurance policies, subject to a retention, but coverage could be denied or prove to be insufficient.
In July 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint, Samuel Williams vs.v. Mihael Polymeropoulos, et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York naming certain current and former Company directors and officers as defendants. In September 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint, Michael Bavaro v. Mihael Polymeropoulos, et al., was filed in the Delaware District Court naming certain current and former Company directors and officers as defendants. In October 2019, the Company filed a motion to transfer the Bavaro case to the Eastern District of New York, where the Gordon and

Williams cases are pending. In March 2020, the Delaware District Court transferred the Bavaro case to the Eastern District of New York, consolidating the Williams and Bavaro cases, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in April 2020. These complaints, filed on behalf of purported stockholders, derivatively on behalf of the Company, assert claims for alleged breach of fiduciary duties by certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits.this lawsuit. The Company does not anticipate that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. However, these lawsuits arethis lawsuit is subject to inherent uncertainties, the actual cost may be significant, and the Company may not prevail. The Company believes it is entitled to coverage under its relevant insurance policies, subject to a retention, but coverage could be denied or prove to be insufficient.

In July 2017, the CHMP issued a negative opinion recommending against approval of Fanaptum® (oral iloperidone tablets) for the treatment of schizophrenia in adult patients in the E.U. The CHMP was of the opinion that the benefits of Fanaptum® did not outweigh its risks and recommended against marketing authorization. In March 2018, the Company filed an application seeking annulment of the EMA’s negative opinion and the subsequent European Commission decision refusing marketing authorization of Fanaptum in the E.U. General Court. In December 2019, the General Court issued its judgment dismissing the action, leaving the EMA opinion and Commission decision intact. In February 2020, the Company filed an appeal of this judgment with the Court of Justice of the E.U.

Since we began operations, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the in-licensing, clinical development and commercialization of our products. Our ability to generate meaningful product sales and achieve profitability largely depends on our ability to successfully commercializelevel of success in commercializing HETLIOZ® and Fanapt® in the U.S. and Europe, on our ability, alone or with others, to complete the development of our products, and to obtain the regulatory approvals for and to manufacture, market and sell our products. The results of our operations will vary significantly from year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter and depend on a number of factors, including risks related to our business, risks related to our industry, and other risks which are detailed in Risk Factors reported in Item 1A of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and Item 1A of Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
As described in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have initiated lawsuits to enforce our patent rights against certain generic pharmaceutical companies.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
With the exception of the accounting related to our lease agreements as a result of adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, thereThere have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies including estimates, assumptions and judgments from those described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.Annual Report. A summary of our significant accounting policies appears in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.Annual Report. We believe that the following accounting policies are important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and we have accordingly included them in this discussion.
Leases. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from that lease. For leases with a term greater than 12 months, ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. We do not combine lease and non-lease elements for office leases. For existing leases as of January 1, 2019, executory costs are excluded from lease expense, which is consistent with our accounting under ASC 840, Leases. For all leases entered into after January 1, 2019, executory costs are allocated between lease and non-lease elements based upon their relative stand-alone prices.

When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Since we do not have outstanding debt that could provide an indication of the appropriate discount rate we used publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. In making this estimation we considered market comparable data on companies with similar credit rating, secured contracts and contract length terms. We use the lease term to determine the incremental borrowing rate.

Net Product Sales. Our net product sales consist of sales of HETLIOZ® and sales of Fanapt®. In accordance with ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we adopted January 1, 2018, we account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. We recognize revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those product sales, which is typically once the product physically arrives at the customer. Sales, value-added, and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.
HETLIOZ® is available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of specialty pharmacies, and is not available in retail pharmacies. Fanapt® is available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of wholesalers and is available in retail pharmacies. We invoice and record revenue when customers, specialty pharmacies and wholesalers, receive product from the third-party logistics warehouse which is the point at which control is transferred to the customer. Revenues and accounts receivable are concentrated with these customers. Outside the U.S., we commercially launched HETLIOZ® in Germany in August 2016. We have also entered into a distribution agreement with Megapharm Ltd. for the commercialization of Fanapt® in Israel. Receivables are carried at transaction price net of allowance for credit losses. Allowance for credit losses is measured using historical loss rates based on the aging of receivables and incorporating current conditions and forward-looking estimates.
The transaction price is determined based upon the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring product to the customer. Our product sales are recorded net of applicable product revenue allowances for which reserves are established and include discounts, rebates, chargebacks, service fees, co-pay assistance and product returns that are applicable for various government and commercial payors. We estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the most likely amount method and update our estimate at each reporting date.
Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Reserves for variable considerationAllowances for rebates, chargebacks and co-pay assistance are based upon the insurance benefits of the end customer, which are estimated using historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which we have validated the insurance benefits. Reserves for variable consideration are classified as product revenue allowances on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the exception of prompt-pay discounts which are classified as reductions of accounts receivable. The reserve for product returns for which the product may not be returned for a period of greater than one year from the balance sheet date is classifiedincluded as a component of other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Uncertainties related to variable consideration are generally resolved in the

quarter subsequent to period end, with the exception of Medicaid rebates, which are dependent upon the timing of when states submit reimbursement claims, and product returns which are resolved during the product expiry period specified in the customer contract. We currently record sales allowances for the following:
Prompt-pay: Specialty pharmacies and wholesalers are offered discounts for prompt payment. We expect that the specialty pharmacies and wholesalers will earn prompt payment discounts and, therefore, deduct the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.
Rebates: Allowances for rebates include mandated and supplemental discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program as well as contracted rebate programs with other payors. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contracted discount rates and expectedestimated patient utilization.
Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted indirect customers purchase directly from specialty pharmacies and wholesalers. Contracted indirect customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions, non-profit clinics, and Federalfederal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The specialty pharmacy or wholesaler, in turn, charges back the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty pharmacy or wholesaler and the discounted price paid to the specialty pharmacy or wholesaler by the contracted customer.
Medicare Part D Coverage Gap: Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit mandates manufacturers to fund approximately 50%70% of the Medicare Part D insurance coverage gap for prescription drugs sold to eligible patients through 2018. Public Law No. 115-123, also known as the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 enacted on February 9, 2018 increased the manufacturer discount from 50% to 70% effective on January 1, 2019 for applicable drugs. We account for the Medicare Part D coverage gap using a point of sale model. Estimates for expected Medicare Part D coverage gap are based in part on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for whichwhen we have validated the insurance benefits.
Service Fees: We receive sales order management, data and distribution services from certain customers. These fees are based on contracted terms and are known amounts. We accrue service fees at the time of revenue recognition, resulting in a reduction of product sales and the recognition of an accrued liability, unless it is a payment for a distinct good or service

from the customer in which case the fair value of those distinct goods or services are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
Co-payment Assistance: Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. Co-pay assistance utilization is based on information provided by our third-party administrator.
Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, weWe generally offer direct customers a limited right to return as contractually defined withinwith our returns policy.customers. We consider several factors in the estimation process, including historical return activity, expiration dates of product shipped to specialty pharmacies,customers, inventory levels within the distribution channel, product shelf life, historical return activity, including activity for product sold for which the return period has past, prescription trends and other relevant factors. We do not expect returned goods to be resalable. There was no right of return asset as of September 30, 20192020 or December 31, 2018.2019.

The provision of $44.5$51.8 million for rebates and chargebacks for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 primarily represents Medicaid rebates applicable to sales of Fanapt® and HETLIOZ®. The provision of $19.9$20.5 million for discounts, returns and other for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 primarily represents wholesaler distribution fees applicable to sales of Fanapt® and, to a lesser extent, estimated product returns of Fanapt®, and co-pay assistance costs and prompt pay discounts applicable to the sales of both HETLIOZ® and Fanapt® as well as estimated product returns of Fanapt®.
Stock-based compensation. Compensation costs for all stock-based awards to employees and directors are measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee or director is required to perform service in exchange for the award. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option pricing model is

affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of our publicly traded common stock and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. We have notnever paid cash dividends to our stockholders since our inception (other than a dividend of preferred share purchase rights which was declared in September 2008) and do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of fees for services provided by third parties in connection with the clinical trials, costs of contract manufacturing services for clinical trial use, milestone payments made under licensing agreements prior to regulatory approval, costs of materials used in clinical trials and research and development, costs for regulatory consultants and filings, depreciation of capital resources used to develop products, related facilities costs, and salaries, other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation for research and development personnel. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred for products in the development stage, including manufacturing costs and milestone payments made under license agreements prior to FDA approval. Upon and subsequent to FDA approval, manufacturing and milestone payments made under license agreements are capitalized. Milestone payments are accrued when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will be achieved. Costs related to the acquisition of intellectual property are expensed as incurred if the underlying technology is developed in connection with our research and development efforts and has no alternative future use.
Clinical trials are inherently complex, often involve multiple service providers, and can include payments made to investigator physicians at study sites. Because billing for services often lags delivery of service by a substantial amount of time, we often are required to estimate a significant portion of our accrued clinical expenses. Our assessments include, but are not limited to:

(i) an evaluation by the project manager of the work that has been completed during the period, (ii) measurement of progress prepared internally and/or provided by the third-party service provider, (iii) analyses of data that justify the progress, and (iv) management’s judgment. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have begun to be incurred or we under- or over-estimate the level of services performed or the costs of such services, our reported expenses for such period would be too low or too high.
Intangible Assets. Our intangible assets consist of capitalized license costs for products approved by the FDA. We amortize our intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life of the related product patents. We assess the impairment of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, a significant adverse change in legal or regulatory factors that could affect the value or patent life including our ability to defend and enforce patent claims and other intellectual property rights and significant negative industry or economic trends. When we determine that the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on the amount that carrying value exceeds fair value. No impairments have been recognized on our intangible assets.
Income taxes. We assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset each quarter through the review of all available positive and negative evidence. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a tax valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2018, there was a full tax valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets in the U.S.The analysis is highly dependent upon historical and projected taxable income. Projected taxable income includes significant assumptions related to revenue, commercial expenses and research and development activities. During the three months ended September 30,third quarter of 2019, after considering all available positive and negative evidence, including but not limited to cumulative income in recent periods, historical, current and currentfuture projected results and significant risks and uncertainties related to forecasts, we concluded that it was more likely than not that substantially all of our deferred taxestax assets in the U.S. are realizable in future periods. A valuation allowance has been retained against certain District of Columbia state deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position 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 benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement.

Results of Operations
We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including our and our partners’ ability to continue to successfully commercialize our products, any possible payments made or received pursuant to license or collaboration agreements, progress of our research and development efforts, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and related possible regulatory approvals. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses resulting in an accumulated deficitapprovals, and the impact of $224.9 million as of September 30, 2019.

The decrease in clinical trial expenses associated with our HETLIOZ® and tradipitant development programs were offset by an increase in clinical trial expenses was primarily associated with our Fanapt® and COVID-19 therapeutic development programs, as well as an increasepartially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense. expenses associated with our CFTR development program. As a result of government-imposed restrictions and other public health safety measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, new recruitment for certain of our ongoing research and development programs was placed on hold during the second quarter of 2020. The tradipitant gastroparesis program has since resumed patient enrollment, while randomization for other studies is on hold.

(1)We record direct costs, including personnel costs and related benefits, on a project-by-project basis. Many of our research and development costs are not attributable to any individual project because we share resources across several development projects. We record indirect costs that support a number of our research and development activities in the aggregate, including stock-based compensation.

Many of our research and development costs are not attributable to any individual project because we share resources across several development projects. We record indirect costs that support a number of our research and development activities in the aggregate, including stock-based compensation.
We expect to incur significant research and development expenses as we continue to develop our products. In addition, we expect to incur licensing costs in the future that could be substantial, as we continue our efforts to expand our product pipeline.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4.2$3.8 million, or 16%13%, to $34.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $30.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $26.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.2019. The increase was primarily the result of increased spending on corporate and legal relatedmarketing activities and investment in U.S.for our commercial capabilities.products.
Intangible asset amortization. Intangible asset amortization was $0.4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Other income. Other income was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.2019. Other income primarily relates toconsists of investment income, which decreased in 2020 as a result of lower yields on our marketable securities.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, we recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million and income tax benefit of $88.1 million, andrespectively. The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by the estimated effective tax rate for the year and the discrete impact of $0.1 million, respectively.net shortfall tax expense related to stock-based compensation activity during the quarter. The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the reduction of our tax valuation allowance against substantially all of our deferred tax assets in the U.S. Net income tax benefit of $1.6 million was also recorded related to the generation of 2019 research and development and orphan drug credits, partially offset by current taxes payable to certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions and uncertain tax positions. As a result of the tax valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the U.S., there was no expense (benefit) for federal income taxes associated with the income before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Income taxes were recorded related to certain U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Cost of goods sold includes third partythird-party manufacturing costs of product sold, third partythird-party royalty costs and distribution and other costs. Third partyThird-party royalty costs were 10% and 5% of HETLIOZ®net product sales of HETLIOZ® in the U.S. and Germany, respectively, and 9% ofrespectively. Third-party royalty costs on Fanapt® net product sales of Fanapt®. Third party royalty costs on net product sales of Fanapt® will decreasedecreased from 9% to 6% beginning January 2020.
In addition to third partythird-party royalty costs, HETLIOZ® and Fanapt® cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue depends upon our cost to manufacture inventory at normalized production levels with our third partythird-party manufacturers. We expect that, in the future, total HETLIOZ® manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold will continue to be less than 2% of ourHETLIOZ® net product sales of HETLIOZ®.sales.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in clinical trial expenses associated with our tradipitantFanapt® and Fanapt®COVID-19 therapeutic development programs, and preclinical expenses associated with the CFTR programs as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in expenses associated with our CFTR development program. As a result of government-imposed restrictions and other public health safety measures due to the HETLIOZ®COVID-19 pandemic, new recruitment for certain of our ongoing research and development programs. programs was placed on hold during the second quarter of 2020. The tradipitant gastroparesis program has since resumed patient enrollment, while randomization for other studies is on hold.

As of September 30, 2019,2020, we maintained all of our Cash in two financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such deposits.
We expect to incur substantial costs and expenses throughout the remainder of 20192020 and beyond in connection with our continued clinical development of tradipitant and our other products, U.S. commercial activities for HETLIOZ® and Fanapt®, the European commercial launch activities for HETLIOZ® and payments due upon achievement of milestones under our license agreements. Additionally, we continue to pursue market approval of HETLIOZ® and Fanapt® in other regions. The actual costs to advance tradipitant and our research and development projects and commercial activities for HETLIOZ® and Fanapt® are

difficult to estimate and may vary significantly. We believe that the upcoming activities associated with our tradipitant and other development programs will result in an increase in research and development expenses in the near term. We believe that our existing funds will be sufficient to meet our operating plans for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, primarily including our ability to generate revenue, the scope and costs of our commercial, manufacturing and process development activities, the magnitude of our discovery, preclinical and clinical development programs, and potential costs to acquire or license the rights to additional products.
We may need or desire to obtain additional capital to finance our operations through debt, equity or alternative financing arrangements. We may also seek capital through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. The issuance of debt could require us to grant liens on certain of our assets that may limit our flexibility and debt securities may be convertible into common stock. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the terms and prices for these financings may be much more favorable to the new investors than the terms obtained by our existing stockholders. These financings also may significantly dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our future activities which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. There can be no assurance that any additional financing required in the future will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

ITEM 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest rate risks
Our exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. We have not used derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments.
Concentrations of credit risk
We deposit our cash with financial institutions that we consider to be of high credit quality and purchase marketable securities which are generally investment grade, liquid, short-term fixed income securities and money-market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. Our marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes, asset-backed securities and U.S. government agency notes.
Revenues and accounts receivable are concentrated with specialty pharmacies and wholesalers. There were five major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues and, as a group, represented 96% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. There were five major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable and, as a group, represented 93% of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2019.2020. We mitigate our credit risk relating to accounts receivable from customers by performing ongoing credit evaluations.

Foreign currency risk
We are exposed to risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relating to our foreign operations. The functional currency of our international subsidiaries is the local currency. We are exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent that we

enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ respective functional currencies. We are also exposed to unfavorable fluctuations of the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency, against the currencies of our operating subsidiaries when their respective financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not currently hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Foreign currency has not had a material impact on our results of operations.
Effects of inflation
Inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations.

In response, we filed a lawsuitseparate lawsuits in 2014 and 2015 against Roxaneeach of the Fanapt® Defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Delaware District Court) for patent infringement in June 2014. The lawsuit was filed in response to Roxane’s submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for a generic version of Fanaptinfringement.® prior to the expiration of certain of our patents covering Fanapt®, including U.S. Patent No. 8,586,610 (‘610 Patent).
In August 2016, the Delaware District Court ruled in our favor, permanently enjoining Roxane from manufacturing, using, selling, offering to sell, distributing or importing any generic iloperidone product described in Roxane’s ANDA until the expiration of the ‘610 Patent in November 2027, or May 2028 if we obtain pediatric exclusivity. In April 2018, following anThis ruling was affirmed on appeal by Roxane of the Delaware District Court’s decision to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals (Federal Circuit), the Federal Circuit affirmed the Delaware District Court’s ruling. In June 2018,in April 2018. West-Ward, having replaced Roxane as defendantsdefendant following the acquisition of Roxane by West-Ward’s parent company, Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (Hikma), petitioned the Federal Circuit for a rehearing en banc. In August 2018, the Federal Circuit denied West-Ward's petition. In January 2019, West-Ward filed a petition in the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, seeking reversalwhich was denied in January 2020. Our lawsuit against Hikma regarding the ‘432 Patent remains pending.
We entered into separate license agreements with each of the Federal Circuit’s decision. In March 2019,Taro, Apotex and Lupin resolving these lawsuits in October 2016, December 2016 and July 2020, respectively. The license agreements grant Taro, Apotex and Lupin non-exclusive licenses to manufacture and commercialize a version of Fanapt® in the U.S. Supreme Court invited the Solicitor Generaleffective as of the U.S. to file a brief in the matter expressing the views of the U.S.

HETLIOZ®. In April and May 2018, we filed three separate patent infringement lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), MSN Pharmaceuticals Inc. and MSN Laboratories Private Limited (MSN) and Apotex (collectively with Teva and MSN, the HETLIOZ® Defendants) after having received Paragraph IV certification notice letters (Paragraph IV Letters) from each of the HETLIOZ® Defendants alleging that certain of our patents covering HETLIOZ® (collectively, the HETLIOZ® Patents) were invalid, unenforceable and/or would not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of their generic versions of HETLIOZ®, as described in the ANDAs submitted to the FDA by each of the HETLIOZ® Defendants, prior to the expiration of the latest to expire of the HETLIOZ® Patents in 2034. Each of the HETLIOZ® Patents are listed in theApproved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (Orange Book). In December 2018, we filed amended complaints against each of the HETLIOZ® Defendants following the receipt of additional Paragraph IV Letters from Teva and Apotex concerning our Orange Book listed '97710,071,977 Patent, which expires in 2035. These lawsuits are scheduled for trial in October 2020.July 2021.
In March 2019, April 2019, and May 2019, we filed three additional patent infringement lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against the HETLIOZ® Defendants following the receipt of additional Paragraph IV Letters from each concerning our Orange Book listed U.S. Patent No. 10,149,829, which expires in 2033. A trial date has not yetThese lawsuits have been consolidated with the other lawsuits against the HETLIOZ® Defendants and are also scheduled for these lawsuits.trial in July 2021.
In OctoberNovember and December 2019, we received anfiled additional Paragraph IV certification notice letter frompatent infringement lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against Apotex and Teva, concerningrespectively, for infringement of our Orange Book listed U.S. Patent No. 10,376,487 ('487(‘487 Patent), following the receipt of additional Paragraph IV Letters from Apotex and Teva regarding the ‘487 Patent, which expires in July 2035. Teva asserted a counterclaim for a declaratory judgment that the ‘487 Patent is invalid. We answered Teva’s counterclaim by denying their allegation that the ‘487 Patent is invalid. In its notice letter,January 2020, we filed two additional patent infringement lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against Teva and Apotex for infringement of our Orange Book-listed U.S. Patent No. 10,449,176 (‘176 Patent) following the receipt of additional Paragraph IV Letters from Teva and Apotex regarding the ‘176 Patent, which expires in January 2033. These lawsuits have been consolidated with the other lawsuits against the HETLIOZ® Defendants and are also scheduled for trial in July 2021.
In January 2020 and February 2020, we received additional Paragraph IV Letters from MSN concerning the ‘487 Patent and the ‘176 Patent, respectively, in which MSN alleges that the ‘487 Patent, which covers a method of treatment using HETLIOZ®, isand the ‘176 Patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by Teva’sthe commercial manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or saleimportation of itsMSN's generic version of HETLIOZ® as described in MSN's ANDA. In February and March 2020, we filed two additional lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against MSN for infringement of our ANDA. We intend to vigorously pursue a patent infringement lawsuit permanently enjoining Teva from infringing‘487 Patent and ‘176 Patent. These lawsuits have been consolidated with the claims ofother lawsuits against the ‘487 Patent.HETLIOZ® Defendants and are also scheduled for trial in July 2021.
Other Matters. In April 2018, we submitted a protocol amendment to the FDA, proposing a 52-week open-label extension (OLE) period for patients who had completed the tradipitant Phase II clinical study (2301) in gastroparesis. In May 2018, based on feedback from the FDA, we amended the protocol limiting the duration of treatment in the 2301 study to a total of three months, while continuing to seek further dialogue with the FDA on extending the study duration to 52-weeks. As a part of this negotiation process, in September 2018, we submitted a new follow-on 52-week OLE protocol to the FDA (2302) for patients who had completed the 2301 study. While waiting for further feedback, we did not enroll any patients in any study beyond 12 weeks. In December 2018, the FDA imposed a partial clinical hold (PCH) on the two proposed studies, stating that we are required first to conduct additional chronic toxicity studies in canines, monkeys or minipigs before allowing patients access in any clinical protocol beyond 12 weeks. The original PCH was not based on any safety or efficacy data related to tradipitant. Rather, the FDA informed us that these additional toxicity studies are required by a guidance document.
On February 5, 2019, we filed a lawsuit against the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (DC District Court), challenging the FDA’s legal authority to issue the PCH, and seeking an order to set it aside. In February 2019, the FDA filed a Motion for Voluntary Remand to the Agency and for a Stay of the Case. In March 2019, the DC District Court granted the FDA’s request for voluntary remand and returned the matter to the FDA for further consideration. In April 2019, the FDA provided its remand response, in which it indicated that, upon review of scientific literature and tradipitant data, it believes that a partial clinical hold continues to be appropriate until we have adequate safety data from a 9-month non-rodent toxicity study. After reviewing the FDA’s remand response, we continue to believe that additional chronic toxicity studies are unjustified, and that we have provided the FDA with sufficient information regarding the safety of tradipitant to justify the continued study of tradipitant in patients beyond 12 weeks, in accordance with applicable law and FDA regulations. In May 2019, we filed an amended complaint, and in July 2019, we filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. The FDA filed a reply and cross-motion for summary judgment in October 2019. A hearing has been set for December 13, 2019. We intend to continue vigorously pursuing our interests in the matter.
In February 2019, a qui tam action filed against us was unsealed by order of the DC District Court. The qui tam action, which was filed under seal in March 2017, was brought by aone of our former employee of oursemployees on behalf of the U.S., 28 states and the District of Columbia (collectively, the Plaintiff States) and the policyholders of certain insurance companies under the Federal False Claims Act and state law equivalents to the Federal False Claims Act and related state laws. The complaint alleged that we violated these laws through the promotion and marketing of our products Fanapt® and HETLIOZ® and sought, among other things, treble damages, civil penalties for each alleged false claim, and attorneys’ fees and costs. By virtue of the DC District Court having unsealed the original complaint, the Companywe learned that in January 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice (the DOJ), as well as the Plaintiff States, elected not to intervene in the qui tam action at that time. In May 2019, the plaintiff filed

an amended complaint under seal repeating the same allegations and seeking the same relief. In August 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss, and in October 2019 the plaintiff filed a reply. According to a filing unsealed in June 2019, the DOJ reaffirmed its decision not to intervene and incorporated its prior filing, indicating that neither the DOJ nor the Plaintiff States were intervening regarding the original complaint. Although the DOJ and the Plaintiff States have elected not to intervene, the plaintiff may litigate this action and the DOJ and the Plaintiff States may later seek to intervene in the action. In August 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss, and in October 2019 the plaintiff filed a reply. In May 2020, the DC District Court dismissed the plaintiff’s complaint in its entirety, without prejudice. In June 2020, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint with similar allegations and seeking the same relief. In July 2020, we filed another motion to dismiss and in October 2020 the plaintiff filed a reply. We intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves in the case.
In February 2019, a securities class action, Gordon v. Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York naming us and certain of our officers as defendants. An amended complaint was filed in July 2019. The amended complaint, filed on behalf of a purported stockholder, asserts claims on behalf of a putative class of all persons who purchased our publicly traded securities between November 4, 2015 and February 11, 2019, for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The

amended complaint alleges that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or omissions regarding Fanapt®, HETLIOZ® and our interactions with the FDA regarding tradipitant between November 3, 2015 and February 11, 2019. On March 23, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. We do not anticipate that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. However, this lawsuit is subject to inherent uncertainties, the actual cost may be significant, and we may not prevail. We believe we are entitled to coverage under our relevant insurance policies, subject to a retention, but coverage could be denied or prove to be insufficient.
In July 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint, Samuel Williams vs.v. Mihael Polymeropoulos, et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York naming certain of our current and former ofdirectorsof our directors and officers as defendants. In September 2019, a shareholder derivative complaint, Michael Bavaro v. Mihael Polymeropoulos, et al., was filed in the Delaware District Court naming certain of our current and former of our directors and officers as defendants. In October 2019, we filed a motion to transfer the Bavaro case to the Eastern District of New York, where the Gordon and Williams cases are pending. In March 2020, the Delaware District Court transferred the Bavaro case to the Eastern District of New York, consolidating the Williams and Bavaro cases, and the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in April 2020. These complaints, filed on behalf of purported stockholders, derivatively on our behalf of us, assert claims for alleged breach of fiduciary duties by certain of our current and former directors and officers. We believe that we have meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously defend these lawsuits.this lawsuit.

In July 2017, the CHMP issued a negative opinion recommending against approval of Fanaptum® (oral iloperidone tablets) for the treatment of schizophrenia in adult patients in the E.U. The CHMP was of the opinion that the benefits of Fanaptum® did not outweigh its risks and recommended against marketing authorization. In March 2018, we filed an application seeking annulment of the EMA’s negative opinion and the subsequent European Commission decision refusing marketing authorization of Fanaptum in the E.U. General Court. In December 2019, the General Court issued its judgment dismissing the action, leaving the EMA opinion and Commission decision intact. In February 2020, we filed an appeal of this judgment with the Court of Justice of the E.U.
ITEM 1ARisk Factors
We previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2019,26, 2020, important factors which could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future operations under the heading Risk Factors. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether current known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and the price of our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors subsequent to the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
IfGlobal health crises and pandemics, such as the FDA does not accept for filingglobal outbreak of the NDAs that wenovel coronavirus (COVID-19), may submit for tradipitant foradversely impact our business.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to nearly every country in the treatmentworld, including the U.S., and has rapidly evolved into a global pandemic, leading to the implementation of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis, the treatmentvarious responses, including government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures. The effects of gastroparesisshelter-in-place orders and the treatment of motion sickness, regulatory authorities determine that our clinical trial results for tradipitant for the treatment of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis, the treatment of gastroparesis or the treatment of motion sickness do not demonstrate adequate safetywork-from-home policies may negatively impact productivity and efficacy, or the FDA does not approve an applicable PDUFA-VI date, continued development of tradipitant will be significantly delayed or terminated,disrupt our business, the magnitude of which will be significantly harmed,depend, in part, on the length and the market price of our stock could decline.
We announced the results in September 2017 from a randomized Phase II clinical study of tradipitant as a monotherapy in the treatment of chronic pruritus in patients with atopic dermatitis. Tradipitant was shown to improve the intensityseverity of the worst itch patients experienced, as well as atopic dermatitis disease severity.
We announced results in December 2018 from a randomized clinical study (2301) of tradipitant as a monotherapy in the treatment of gastroparesis. Tradipitant met the primary endpoint of the study of change in nausea score as measured by patient daily diariesrestrictions and also met the related endpoint of improvement in the number of nausea free days. Tradipitant also showed significant improvement in most of the secondary endpoints studied, including the several key scales reflecting overall

gastroparesis symptoms, specifically Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI); Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM); Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S); and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C).
We announced the results in July 2019 from a randomized Phase II clinical study of tradipitant as a monotherapy in the treatment of motion sickness, which demonstrated that tradipitant was effective in treating motion sickness. The study had two primary endpoints: percentage of participants vomiting, and Motion Sickness Severity Scale (MSSS) Worst score. In the overall population, a significantly higher percentage of participants experienced vomiting in the placebo arm as compared to the tradipitant arm. The MSSS Worst score endpoint also favored tradipitant, but the difference did not reach statistical significance.
If the results of our ongoing Phase III clinical study of tradipitant for the treatment of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis and/or our ongoing Phase III clinical study of tradipitant for the treatment of gastroparesis and/or our planned Phase III clinical study of tradipitant for the treatment of motion sickness are positive, we will likely submit an NDA with the FDA for these indications. Any adverse developments or results or perceived adverse developments or results with respect to our pre-NDA meeting with the FDA, our regulatory submission or the tradipitant clinical programs in either or both indications will significantly harm our business and could cause the market price of our stock to decline. Examples of such adverse developments include, but are not limited to:
the FDA determining that additional clinical studies are required with respect to the tradipitant for the treatment of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis and/or the treatment of gastroparesis and/or motion sickness;
safety, efficacy or other concerns arising from clinical or non-clinical studies in these programs; or
the FDA determining that the tradipitant clinical trial programs raise safety concerns or do not demonstrate adequate efficacy.
In April 2018, we submitted a protocol amendment to the FDA, proposing a 52-week open-label extension (OLE) period for patients who had completed the tradipitant Phase II clinical study (2301) in gastroparesis. In May 2018, basedlimitations on feedback from the FDA, we amended the protocol limiting the duration of treatment in the 2301 study to a total of three months, while continuing to seek further dialogue with the FDA on extending the study duration to 52-weeks. As a part of this negotiation process, in September 2018, we submitted a new follow-on 52-week OLE protocol to the FDA (2302) for patients who had completed the 2301 study. While waiting for further feedback, we did not enroll any patients in any study beyond 12 weeks. In December 2018, the FDA imposed a partial clinical hold (PCH) on the two proposed studies, stating that we are required first to conduct additional chronic toxicity studies in canines, monkeys or minipigs before allowing patients access in any clinical protocol beyond 12 weeks. The original PCH was not based on any safety or efficacy data related to tradipitant. Rather, the FDA informed us that these additional toxicity studies are required by a guidance document.
On February 5, 2019, we filed a lawsuit against the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (DC District Court), challenging the FDA’s legal authority to issue the PCH, and seeking an order to set it aside. In February 2019, the FDA filed a Motion for Voluntary Remand to the Agency and for a Stay of the Case. In March 2019, the DC District Court granted the FDA’s request for voluntary remand and returned the matter to the FDA for further consideration. In April 2019, the FDA provided its remand response, in which it indicated that, upon review of scientific literature and tradipitant data, it believes that a partial clinical hold continues to be appropriate until we have adequate safety data from a 9-month non-rodent toxicity study. After reviewing the FDA’s remand response, we continue to believe that additional chronic toxicity studies are unjustified, and that we have provided the FDA with sufficient information regarding the safety of tradipitant to justify the continued study of tradipitant in patients beyond 12 weeks, in accordance with applicable law and FDA regulations. In May 2019, we filed an amended complaint, and in July 2019, we filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. The FDA filed a reply and cross-motion for summary judgment in October 2019. A hearing has been set for December 13, 2019. We intend to continue vigorously pursuing our interests in the matter.
We do not expect the PCH to have any impact on our ongoing clinical studies in atopic dermatitis and gastroparesis, each of which is under 12 weeks in duration, or our planned Phase III study in motion sickness, none of which are subject to the PCH. Nor do we expect the PCH to impact the potential timing of an NDA filing. If the matter has not been fully resolved prior to the date on which we are ready to file the first NDA for tradipitant, then we may choose to file with the safety data we have available at that time. We may pursue additional studies of durations in excess of 12 weeks in countries where the conduct of such studies may be permitted (or we may choose to file for approval of a limited indication). If the FDA determines that our NDA does not contain safety data sufficient for approval, it may not accept the NDA for filing. We will continue to reassess the situation as events unfold.

Even if our lawsuit challenging the FDA’s authority to issue the PCH is successful, there can be no assurances that the FDA will not attempt to impose a clinical hold or PCH on other grounds. While we believe we have a strong legal basis, this litigation is subject to uncertainties and we may not prevail. Because the PCH could, however, impede our ability to conduct longer termour business in the ordinary course.
Our sales force has had physical access to healthcare providers curtailed, which may have an impact on our future revenues. While we are implementing marketing and sales strategies aimed at overcoming the disruptions caused by the pandemic, we cannot ensure that these methods will be effective. Additionally, patients who might be currently using our products, or might otherwise be eligible to use our products, may be unable to meet with their healthcare providers, which may reduce the number of prescription refills or new patient starts, thereby adversely affecting our revenues.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted clinical research globally, including our previously reported clinical trials. The tradipitant gastroparesis program has resumed patient enrollment, while randomization for the tradipitant motion sickness and atopic dermatitis programs, as well as the Fanapt® bipolar disorder and long acting injectable studies, is currently on hold. We may experience further disruptions that could adversely impact our supply chain, our ongoing and planned clinical trials, and other regulatory activities, including:
interruption of, tradipitant, whetheror delays in receiving, supplies of the PCH impactsactive pharmaceutical ingredients that our contract manufacturing organizations use to manufacture our products and any related interruption of, or delays in receiving, supplies of our products from these organizations, due to staffing shortages, production slowdowns or stoppages and disruptions in delivery systems;
delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site staff;
diversion of healthcare resources away from the timingconduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials;
delays or approvabilitydifficulties in enrolling patients in our clinical trials;
interruption of NDA filingskey clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site data monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others or interruption of clinical trial subject visits and study procedures (such as procedures that are deemed non-essential), which may impact the integrity of subject data and clinical study endpoints;
limitations on our employee resources or those of third-party clinical research organizations towards the development of our products, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people; and
interruption or delays in the FDAoperations of regulatory agencies, which may impact review and approval timelines.
In addition, the trading prices for any indicationour common stock and other biopharmaceutical companies have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we may face difficulties raising capital through sales of our common stock or such sales may be on unfavorable terms.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which the outbreak may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on a numberfuture developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of factors, including whether the PCH is resolved throughoutbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing practices, business closures or business disruptions and the lawsuit described above, whether we resolveeffectiveness of actions taken in the PCH out of court through discussions withU.S. and other countries to contain and treat the FDA, and, in addition to the non-clinical animal studies, whether the FDA considers the clinical trials that we conduct to be sufficient. A delay in filing, or FDA delay or denial of approval, of NDA filings for tradipitant for the treatment of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis, gastroparesis or motion sickness could materially adversely impact our business.disease.
