1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Clovis Oncology, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Clovis”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing innovative anti-cancer agents in the United States, Europe and otheradditional international markets. We target our development programs for the treatment of specific subsets of cancer populations, and simultaneously develop, with partners, diagnostic tools intended to direct a compound in development to the population that is most likely to benefit from its use. We have and intend to continue to license or acquire rights to oncology compounds in all stages of clinical development. In exchange for the right to develop and commercialize these compounds, we generally expect to provide the licensor with a combination of upfront payments, milestone payments and royalties on future sales. In addition, we generally expect to assume the responsibility for future drug development and commercialization costs. We currently operate in one segment. Since inception, our operations have consisted primarily of developing in-licensed compounds, evaluating new product acquisition candidates and general corporate activities.activities and since 2016 we have also marketed and sold products.

On December 19, 2016, the FDA approvedOur marketed product Rubraca® (rucaparib) tablets as monotherapyis approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for two indications, encompassing two settings for the treatment of recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. The initial treatment indication received in December 2016 covers the treatment of adult patients with deleterious BRCA (human genes associated with the repair of damaged DNA) mutation (germline and/or somatic) associated advancedepithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have been treated with two or more chemotherapies, and selected for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for Rubraca. We began sellingIn April 2018, the FDA also approved Rubraca for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. The FDA granted regular approval for Rubraca in this second, broader and earlier-line indication on a priority review timeline based on positive data from the U.S.phase 3 ARIEL3 clinical trial. Diagnostic testing is not required for patients to be prescribed Rubraca in the fourth quarter of 2016. Rucaparib is being studied as a potential maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer patients in the ARIEL3 trial. On June 19, 2017, we announced that the ARIEL3 trial successfully achieved the primary endpoint of improved progression-free survival (“PFS”) by investigator review in each of three populations studied. PFS was also improved in the rucaparib group compared with placebo by blinded independent central review (“BICR”), a key secondary endpoint. Based on these findings, we submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) in October 2017 for a second-line or laterthis maintenance treatment indicationindication.

In May 2018, the European Commission granted a conditional marketing authorization for all womenRubraca as monotherapy treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitiveplatinum sensitive, relapsed or progressive, BRCA mutated (germline and/or somatic), high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have respondedbeen treated with two or more prior lines of platinum based chemotherapy, and who are unable to their most recenttolerate further platinum therapy.based chemotherapy.

Our Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”)As this is a conditional approval, it will be necessary to complete confirmatory post marketing commitments, including ensuring that sufficient partially platinum sensitive patients are enrolled in our ARIEL4 confirmatory trial to support the indication. This may require enrollment of additional patients into the study, increasing its overall size and extending the time for rucaparib thatenrollment. In June 2018, we submitted to the European Union’s European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) a variation to the marketing authorization for anthe maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer treatment indication is currently under review.who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy, for which we received EMA validation for this application in July 2018. We anticipate an opinion on this application from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) in late 2017, and, if we receive a favorable opinion from the CHMP, a potential approval fromof the EMA may follow duringby the end of 2018. 

Beyond our initial labeled indication, we have a robust Rubraca clinical development program underway in a variety of solid tumor types, also including prostate and bladder cancers, and in July 2017, we entered into a broad clinical collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company to evaluate the combination of their immunotherapy OPDIVO® (nivolumab) with Rubraca in several tumor types. We hold worldwide rights for Rubraca.

In addition to Rubraca, we have two other product candidates.

Lucitanib is an oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (VEGFR1-3), platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFR α/β) and fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (FGFR1-3). Lucitanib was originally developed by Clovis and Servier with the hypothesis of activity in FGFR driven tumors; however, data in breast and lung cancer were insufficient to move the program forward. We have received notice from Servier of termination of their rights to lucitanib, resulting in the return of global rights (excluding China) for lucitanib to us later in 2018. We believe that recent data for a drug similar to lucitanib that

inhibits these same pathways – when combined with a PD-1 inhibitor – provide support for development of lucitanib in combination with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor, and we intend to initiate a study of the combination. We also intend to initiate a study of lucitanib in combination with Rubraca, based on encouraging data of VEGF and PARP inhibitors in combination. Each of these studies is expected to initiate in the first quarter of 2018.2019. We maintain certain development and commercialization rights for lucitanib. Following a potential approvalthe termination of the Servier license agreement, we will have global development and commercialization rights (except for the treatment indication,China) for lucitanib.

Rociletinib is an oral mutant-selective inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”). While we intendhave stopped enrollment in ongoing trials for rociletinib, we continue to submit a variationprovide drug to the MAApatients whose clinicians recommend continuing therapy. We have global development and commercialization rights for the second-line or later maintenance treatment indication, for which we anticipate a potential approval during the third quarter of 2018.rociletinib.

Basis of Presentation

All financial information presented includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited financial statements of Clovis Oncology, Inc. included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented herein. Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 (“20162017 Form 10-K”) for a broader discussion of our business and the opportunities and risks inherent in such business.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenue and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including estimates related to revenue deductions, intangible asset impairment, clinical trial accruals and share-based compensation expense. We base our estimates on historical

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively, “ASC 606”). ASC 606 prescribes a single common revenue standard that replaces most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 is intended to provide a more consistent interpretation and application of the principles outlined in the standard across filers in multiple industries and within the same industries compared to current practices, which should improve comparability. Adoption of ASC 606 is required for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Upon adoption, we must elect to adopt either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or use the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized at the date of initial application. We adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2018 for contracts that are not completed as of the adoption date.

Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606 also impacts certain other areas, such as the accounting for costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard also requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

We examined our revenue recognition policy specific to revenue streams from contracts governing product sales from Rubraca and have come to conclusions on the impact of the new standard using the 5-step process prescribed by ASC 606. We reviewed all of our contracts, including our collaboration agreements with Servier and Bristol-Myers Squibb, and determined the potential impact to our accounting policies, financial controls and operations. Our conclusions include recognizing revenue on product sales once the product is sold to the specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy providers.

As noted above, we used the modified retrospective method to adopt the new standard. This means that we did not restate previously issued financial statements, but we recorded a one-time adjustment to retained earnings of $2.4 million. This adjustment represents the sales of our product to our customers prior to January 1, 2018, that had not been sold to patients or healthcare providers, offset by related gross-to-net adjustments and other direct costs, including royalties and sales incentive compensation.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 606 was as follows (in thousands):

Previously, we recognized revenue on product sales once the product was sold to the patient or healthcare provider by the specialty distributor or specialty pharmacy provider, i.e. when product is sold through the channel. Effective January 1, 2018, we began recognizing revenue when our customers, the specialty distributors and specialty pharmacy providers, take control of our product or when product is sold into the channel. This will have the impact of us recognizing revenue approximately two to four weeks earlier than before adopting the new standard and will also

increase the significance of estimating variable consideration. The following financial statement line items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were affected as a result of the adoption.

ASC 606 did not have an aggregate impact on our net cash provided by operating activities but resulted in offsetting changes in certain assets and liabilities presented within net cash used in operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows, as reflected in the above tables.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

From time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through issuance of an ASU.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on their balance sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early

adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts at the date of enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is derived from sales of our product,We are currently approved to sell Rubraca in the United States. States market. We distribute our product in the U.S. principally through a limited number of specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy providers, collectively, our customers.  Our customers subsequently resellsell our products to patients and healthcarehealth care providers.  Separately, we have arrangements with certain payors and other third parties that provide for government-mandated and privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and other discounts.

Product Revenue

Revenue from product sales are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is when customers obtain control of our product at a point in time, typically upon delivery. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that we would have recognized is one year or less.

Reserves for Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recognized when persuasive evidencerecorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurredvariable consideration for which reserves are established and title of the product and associated risk of loss has passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, collectionwhich result from the customer has been reasonably assured and all performance obligations have been met and returns and allowances can be reasonably estimated. Revenue is recorded net of estimated rebates, chargebacks, discounts, and other deductions as well asco-pay assistance, estimated product returns (collectively, “sales deductions”)and other allowances that are offered within contracts between us and our customers, health care providers, payors and other indirect customers relating to the sales of our product. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the customers) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a customer). AlthoughWhere appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we adjust these estimates, which would affect product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Rebates. Rebates include mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and the Medicare coverage gap program. Rebates are amounts owed after the final dispensing of products to a benefit plan participant and are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with the public-sector benefit providers. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. We estimate our Medicaid and Medicare rebates based upon a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for the estimated payor mix. The accrual for rebates is based on statutory discount rates and known sales to specialty pharmacy patients or expected utilization for specialty distributor sales to healthcare providers. As we gain more historical experience, the accrual will be based solely on the expected utilization from historical data we have accumulated since the Rubraca product launch. Rebates are generally invoiced and paid quarterly in arrears so that the accrual balance

consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for known or estimated prior quarters’ unpaid rebates.

Chargebacks. Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted customers, which currently consist primarily of group purchasing organizations, Public Health Service organizations and federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, purchase directly from our specialty distributors at a discounted price. The specialty distributor, in turn, charges back the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty distributor and specialty pharmacy providers are our customers, we recognize revenue on product sales once the product is resolddiscounted price paid to the patient or healthcare provider by the specialty distributor by the healthcare provider. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and accounts receivable. The accrual for specialty distributor chargebacks is estimated based on known chargeback rates and known sales to specialty distributors adjusted for the estimated utilization by healthcare providers.

Discounts and Fees. Our payment terms are generally 30 days. Specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies are offered various forms of consideration, including service fees and prompt pay discounts for payment within a specified period. We expect these customers will earn prompt pay discounts and therefore, we deduct the full amount of these discounts and service fees from product sales when revenue is recognized.

Co-pay assistance. Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-pay assistance. The intent of this program is to reduce the patient’s out of pocket costs. Liabilities for co-pay assistance are based on actual program participation provided by third-party administrators at month end.

Returns. Consistent with industry practice, we generally offer customers a right of return limited only to product that will expire in six months or specialty pharmacy provider, therefore reducingproduct that is six months beyond the significance of estimates made for product returns.expiration date. To date, we have had minimal product returns and we currently do not have an accrual for product returns. We will continue to assess our estimate for product returns as we gain additional historical experience.

Cost of Sales – Product

Product cost of sales consists primarily of materials, third-party manufacturing costs as well as freight and royalties owed to our licensing partners for Rubraca sales.Based on our policy to expense costs associated with the manufacture of our products prior to regulatory approval, certain of the manufacturing costs of Rubraca units recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were expensed prior to the December 19, 2016 FDA approval, and therefore, a minimal amount is included in costs of sales during the current period. We expect cost of sales to increase in relation to product revenues as we deplete these inventories and we expect to use the remaining pre-commercialization inventory for product sales during the fourth quarter of 2017.

after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business in ASC 805. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Currently, there is no impact to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but we will adopt on January 1, 2018 for any business combinations and will consider adopting early for any acquisitions prior to January 1, 2018.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which we would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, we would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact the standard may have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures should we have a modification to our share-based payment awards in the future.

3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (at exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include:
