On May 2, 2019 the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiary GB001, Inc., as borrower, entered into a credit, guaranty and security agreement, as amended on September 18, 2019, (the “Credit Facility”) with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), an agent and as a lender, and the additional lenders party thereto from time to time (together with MidCap, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders, including affiliates of MidCap and Silicon Valley Bank agreed to make term loans available to the Company for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $150.0 million in term loan commitments, including a $30.0 million term loan that was funded at the closing date. Under the Credit Facility, the Company has the ability to access the remaining $120.0 million in three additional tranches (of $40.0 million, $30.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively), subject to specified availability periods, the achievement of certain clinical development milestones, minimum cash requirements and other customary conditions. As of September 30, 2019, no other tranches under the Credit Facility have been drawn. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As a result, the Company will need to raise capital through equity offerings, debt financings other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding, that the Company’s projections of its future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 12, 2019, the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and has determined that there were no material subsequent events to recognize or disclose.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP)(“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)(“SEC”) on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

7


the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to accrued research and development expenses, the valuation of preferred and common stock, the valuation of stock options and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 842”ASC”) 842), as of January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method. The optional transition method provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and a cumulative catch up adjustment on January 1, 2019 for any differences between ASC 842 and the legacy guidance provided in Accounting Standards CodificationASC 840, Leases that would have impacted our income statement. No retrospective restatements are required under the optional transition method. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company also applied the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with terms at inception not greater than 12 months.

 

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $12.5 million and $13.2 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are due to accrued deferred rent and unamortized lease incentives.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our unaudited condensed financial statements or related financial statement disclosures.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes the potential impact of the Company’s Series Seed Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. Since the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

4. Fair Value Measurements and Available for Sale Investments

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

10


 

We classify our cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments within Level 1 or Level 2. The fair value of our investment grade corporate debt securities and commercial paper is determined using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools, which utilize market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, such as matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, and offers.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The following table presents the hierarchy for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

9


As of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, interest and securities receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair values because of their short maturities.

Interest and securities receivable as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $11.2$1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and is recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Securities receivable reflect the timing differences of maturities or settlements of investments and the ultimate reinvestment of such amounts.

We believe that our term loan facility bears interest at a rate that approximates prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying value of the term loan facility approximates fair value. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt utilizing an income approach. We use a present value calculation to discount principal and interest payments and the final maturity payment on these liabilities using a discounted cash flow model based on observable inputs. The debt instrument is then discounted based on what the current market rates would be as of the reporting date. Based on the assumptions used to value these liabilities at fair value, the debt instrument is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Available for Sale Investments

 

We invest our excess cash in U.S. Treasury and agency securities and debt instruments of corporations and commercial obligations, which we classifyare classified as available-for-sale investments. These investments are carried at fair value and are included in the tables above.  The Company evaluates securities with unrealized losses to determine whether such losses, if any, are other than temporary. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method and recorded as interest income or expense. We do not generally intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company classified $14.6 million of assets with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. None of the investments have been in a gross unrealized loss for a period greater than 12 months. At each reporting date, we perform an evaluation of impairment to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the investment until recovery of the amortized cost basis. We intend and have the ability to hold our investments in unrealized loss positions until their amortized cost basis has been recovered. Further, based on our evaluation, we determined that unrealized losses were not other-than-temporary at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.as of September 30, 2019.

5. Long-term Debt

On May 2, 2019, the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiary GB001, Inc., as borrower, entered into the Credit Facility described in Note 1, pursuant to which the Lenders, including affiliates of MidCap and Silicon Valley Bank, agreed to make term loans available to the Company for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $150.0 million in term loan commitments, including a $30.0 million term loan that was funded at the closing date, with the ability to access the remaining $120.0 million in three additional tranches (of $40.0 million, $30.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively), subject to specified availability periods, the achievement of certain clinical development milestones, minimum cash requirements and other customary conditions. The second tranche is available no earlier than February 1, 2020 and no later than July 31, 2020.  The third tranche is available no earlier than May 1, 2020 and no later than October 31, 2020.  The fourth tranche is available no earlier than February 1, 2021 and no later than July 31, 2021. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ personal property, including intellectual property, and includes affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company.

Each term loan under the Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) one-month LIBOR (customarily defined, with a change to prime rate if LIBOR funding becomes unlawful or impractical) plus (ii) 6.15%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00%.  The borrower is required to make interest-only payments on the term loan for all payment dates prior to June 1, 2021.  The term loans under the Credit Facility will begin amortizing on June 1, 2021, with equal monthly payments of principal plus interest being made by the Company to the Lenders in consecutive monthly installments following such interest-only period for 36 months or, for any funding of the fourth tranche occurring after June 1, 2021, the number of months until the Credit Facility matures on May 1, 2024.  Upon final repayment of the term loans, the borrower must pay an exit fee of 1.75% of the amount borrowed under the Credit Facility, less any partial exit fees previously paid.  Upon partial prepayment of a portion of the term loans, the borrower must pay a partial exit fee of 1.75% of the principal being prepaid. At the borrower’s option, the borrower may prepay the outstanding principal balance of the term loan in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment fee of 3.0% of any amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs through and including the first anniversary of the closing date, 2.0% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the closing date through and including the second anniversary of the closing date, and 1.0% of any amount prepaid after the second anniversary of the closing date and prior to May 1, 2024.

12


The Credit Facility includes affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The affirmative covenants include, among others, covenants requiring such entities to maintain their legal existence and governmental approvals, deliver certain financial reports, maintain insurance coverage, maintain property, pay taxes, satisfy certain requirements regarding accounts and comply with laws and regulations.  The negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on such entities from transferring collateral, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, creating liens, amending material agreements and organizational documents, selling assets and suffering a change in control, in each case subject to certain exceptions.  The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also subject to an ongoing minimum cash financial covenant in which they must maintain unrestricted cash in an amount not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the term loans. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Credit Facility also includes events of default, the occurrence and continuation of which could cause interest to be charged at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 3.0% and would provide MidCap, as agent, with the right to exercise remedies against the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries, and the collateral securing the Credit Facility, including foreclosure against the properties securing the credit facilities, including cash.  These events of default include, among other things, failure to pay any amounts due under the Credit Facility, a breach of covenants under the Credit Facility, insolvency or the occurrence of insolvency events, the occurrence of a change in control, the occurrence of certain U.S. Food and Drug Administration and regulatory events, failure to remain registered with the SEC and listed for trading on NASDAQ, the occurrence of a material adverse change, the occurrence of a default under a material agreement reasonably expected to result in a material adverse change, the occurrence of certain defaults under certain other indebtedness in an amount greater than $2,500,000 and the occurrence of certain defaults under subordinated indebtedness and convertible indebtedness.

6. Convertible Note Financing

In connection with the Company’s IPO, the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series Seed, Series A, and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into 30,493,460 shares of common stock.

 

Common Stock

 

On December 3, 2015, the Company issued 9,160,888 shares of common stock as founder shares for services rendered to the Company, valued at $0.0001 par value per share, for a total of approximately $4,100. On January 4, 2018, incremental vesting conditions were placed on the previously issued founder shares. Fifty percent of the previously issued founder shares vested on January 4, 2018, and the remaining founder shares are subject to vesting restrictions over a period of five years.

 

Pursuant to the employment agreements with the Company’s founders executed January 4, 2018, the Company provided for certain potential additional issuances of common stock (the “anti-dilution shares”) to each of the founders to ensure the total number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates (inclusive of any shares subject to equity awards granted by the Company) would represent 15% of the Company’s fully-diluted capitalization until such time as the Company raised $300 million in equity capital, including the capital raised in the Series A financing.

 

In furtherance of this obligation, on May 21, 2018, the Company issued 251,547 shares of common stock to the founders for services rendered to the Company, valued at $2.61 per share with an additional 251,547 shares of restricted stock subject to the same vesting restrictions and vesting period as the founder shares. In addition, on September 6, 2018, the Company issued 1,795,023 shares of common stock to the founders for services rendered to the Company, valued at $9.63 per share, with an additional 1,795,023 shares of restricted stock subject to the same vesting restrictions and vesting period as the founder shares.

 

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Common stock owners are entitled to dividends when funds are legally available and declared by the Board.

 

Shares of Common Stock Subject to Repurchase

 

In November 2017, in connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, certain employees entered into stock restriction agreements, whereby 1,305,427 shares are subject to forfeiture by the Company upon the stockholder’s termination of employment or service to the Company. In January 2018, the Company’s founders entered into stock restriction agreements, whereby 4,580,444 of previously unrestricted shares of common stock were subject to service vesting conditions. These shares are also subject to forfeiture by the Company upon the stockholders’ termination of employment or service to the Company. Any shares subject to repurchase by the Company are not deemed, for accounting purposes, to be outstanding until those shares vest. As such, the Company recognizes the measurement date fair value of the restricted stock over the vesting period as compensation expense. As of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 5,053,169 and 7,482,032 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase by the Company, was 5,862,450 shares and 7,482,032 shares, respectively.

A total of 700,000 shares of common stock were approved to be initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will be automatically increased on the first day of each calendar year during the first ten-years of the term of the ESPP, beginning with January 1, 2020 and ending with January 1, 2029, by an amount equal to 1% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31st31 of the preceding calendar year or such lesser amount as determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Stock Options

 

The fair value of each employee and non-employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company, prior to theits IPO on February 12, 2019, was a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s stock options for employees has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Leases

 

The Company subleases certain office and laboratory space under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring in December 2024 for the initial leased space and December 2022 for expansion space leased pursuant to an amendment to the lease agreement entered into in August 2018. The sublease agreement included options to extend for the entire premises through October 2028. The options to extend must be exercised prior to the termination of the original lease agreement. The period covered by the options was not included in the non-cancellable lease term as it not was not determined to be reasonably certain to be executed. The lease agreement also includes a one-time termination option for the expansion space only whereby the Company can terminate the lease with advance written notice. The termination option was not determined to be reasonably certain to be executed. The lease is subject to charges for common area maintenance and other costs, and base rent is subject to an annual 3% increase each subsequent year. Costs determined to be variable and not based on an index or rate were not included in the measurement of the operating lease liabilities.

 

Monthly rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The operating lease is included in the balance sheet at the present value of the lease payments at a 7% discount rate using the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment as the leases do not provide an implicit rate. The weighted average remaining lease term was 5.04.5 years.

On May 2, 2019, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary GB001, Inc., as borrower, entered into a credit, guaranty and security agreement (the “Credit Facility”) agented by MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”) and the additional lenders party thereto from time to time (together with MidCap, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders, including affiliates of MidCap and Silicon Valley Bank, agreed to make term loans available to the Company for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $150.0 million in term loan commitments, including a $30.0 million term loan which was funded at the closing date, with the ability to access the remaining $120.0 million in three additional tranches (of $40.0 million, $30.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively), subject to specified availability periods, the achievement of certain clinical development milestones, minimum cash requirements and other customary conditions.  The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ personal property, including intellectual property, and includes affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company.

Each term loan under the Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) one-month LIBOR (customarily defined, with a change to prime rate if LIBOR funding becomes unlawful or impractical) plus (ii) 6.15%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00%.  The Company is required to make interest-only payments on the term loan for all payment dates prior to June 1, 2021.  The

15


term loans under the Credit Facility will begin amortizing on June 1, 2021, with equal monthly payments of principal plus interest being made by the Company to the Lenders in consecutive monthly installments following such interest-only period for 36 months or, for any funding of the fourth tranche occurring after June 1, 2021, the number of months until the Credit Facility matures on May 1, 2024.  Upon final repayment of the term loans, the Company must pay an exit fee of 1.75% of the amount borrowed under the Credit Facility, less any partial exit fees previously paid.  Upon partial prepayment of a portion of the term loans, the Company must pay a partial exit fee of 1.75% of the principal being prepaid. At the Company’s option, the Company may prepay the outstanding principal balance of the term loan in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment fee of 3.0% of any amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs through and including the first anniversary of the closing date, 2.0% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the closing date through and including the second anniversary of the closing date, and 1.0% of any amount prepaid after the second anniversary of the closing date and prior to May 1, 2024.

Overview

 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, acquiring, developing and commercializing therapeutics in the disease areas of immunology, inflammation and oncology. Our goal is to be an industry leader in each of these therapeutic areas and enhance and extend the lives of patients suffering from such diseases. To accomplish this goal, we have assembled a deeply experienced and highly skilled group of industry veterans, scientists, clinicians and key opinion leaders from leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as leading academic centers from around the world. Our collective immunology and translational discovery and development expertise serves as the foundation of our company.

 

We are pursuing product candidates with strong scientific rationale to address indications where there is both a high unmet need and an opportunity to develop best-in-class or first-in-class programs. We currently have threefour clinical-stage product candidates, in addition to multiple preclinical programs. We commenced aour LEDA Phase 2b clinical trial for our most advanced product candidate, GB001, in moderate-to-severe eosinophilic asthma in October 2018 and2018. We expect to conduct an interim analysis in the first half of 2020, with full results from the study expected in the second half of 2020. If the interim analysis is positive, we plan on initiating a Phase 3 clinical trial thereafter. We recently began screening patients in a proof-of-conceptIn the second quarter of 2019, we initiated our TITAN Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial of GB001 in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, both with and without nasal polyps, andpolyps. Topline data from this trial are expected in the second half of 2020 Additionally, we expect to initiate a proof-of-concepttranslational Phase 2 clinical trial of GB001 in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria in the secondfirst half of 2019.2020. We are developing GB002 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH. We plan to commence screeningenrolling patients for a Phase 1b clinical trial in PAH in the secondfourth quarter of 2019, and initiatewe are finalizing the design of a Phase 2/32 clinical trial in PAH, which we expect to initiate in the secondfirst half of 2019.2020. We believe that data generated from this Phase 2 clinical trial will inform the design of potential registrational studies of GB002 in PAH. We are developing GB004 for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis, or UC, and Crohn’s disease. We recently began screening patients inIn the second quarter of 2019, we initiated a Phase 1b clinical trial in mild-to-moderate UC patients with active disease symptoms and histology andhistology. We expect to commence enrollment in thistopline results from the study in the second quarterfirst half of 2019.2020. We also plan to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in UC in the first half of 2020. Our most advanced preclinical product candidate,We are developing GB1275 is an oral small molecule, CD11b modulator in preclinical development for the treatment of oncology indications. We submitted an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, for GB1275 toIn the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. Subject to the FDA 30-day review periodthird quarter of the IND,2019, we plan to initiateinitiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for GB1275 in the second half of 2019 in solid tumor indications as a monotherapy and in combination with either an anti-PD-1 therapypembrolizumab or chemotherapy. Initial data from this trial is expected in the second half of 2020.

 

19


We were incorporated in October 2015 and commenced operations in 2017. To date, we have focused primarily on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, identifying, acquiring and in-licensing our product candidates and conducting preclinical studies and early clinical trials. We have funded our operations primarily through equity financings. We raised $601.3 million from October 2017 through April 2019 through Series A and B convertible preferred stock financings, a convertible note financing, and our initial public offering, or IPO, completed in February 2019. In addition, we received $12.8 million in cash in connection with the January 2018 acquisition of AA Biopharma Inc., of which Pulmagen Therapeutics (Asthma) Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, we had $481.2$446.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

 

On February 12, 2019, we closed our IPO and the underwriters in the IPO purchased 19,837,500 shares, including the full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The net proceeds were $291.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs.

 

We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, our net loss was $48.5 million and $125.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our net loss was $32.6$49.4 million and $26.0$108.2 million, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $186.5$279.5 million. We expect our expenses and operating losses will increase substantially as we conduct our ongoing and planned clinical trials, continue our research and development activities and conduct preclinical studies, and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates, as well as hire additional personnel, protect our intellectual property and incur additional costs associated with being a public company. In addition, as our product candidates progress through development and toward commercialization, we will need to make milestone payments to the licensors and other third parties from whom we have in-licensed or acquired our product candidates, including GB002, GB004 and GB004.GB1275. Our net losses may fluctuate

18


significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending in particular on the timing of our clinical trials and preclinical studies and our expenditures on other research and development activities.

 

We do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product candidate development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

We have not generated any revenue since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future.

 

Operating expenses

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses have related primarily to preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates and discovery efforts. Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are capitalized until the goods or services are received.

 

20


Research and development expenses include or could include:

salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in research and development efforts;

external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or CROs, investigative sites and consultants to conduct our clinical trials and preclinical and non-clinical studies;

laboratory supplies;

costs related to manufacturing our product candidates for clinical trials and preclinical studies, including fees paid to third-party manufacturers;

costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements; and

facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent, maintenance of facilities, insurance, equipment and other supplies.

 

Our direct research and development expenses consist principally of external costs, such as fees paid to CROs, investigative sites and consultants in connection with our clinical trials, preclinical and non-clinical studies, and costs related to manufacturing clinical trial materials. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the majority of our third-party expenses related to the research and development of GB001, GB002 and GB004. We deploy our personnel and facility related resources across all of our research and development activities. We track external costs and personnel expense on a program-by-program basis and allocate common expenses, such as facility related resources, to each program based on the personnel resources allocated to such program. Stock-based compensation and personnel and common expenses not attributable to a specific program are considered unallocated research and development expenses.

 

We plan to substantially increase our research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our product candidates and conduct discovery and research activities for our preclinical programs. We cannot determine with certainty the timing of initiation, the duration or the completion costs of current or future preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates due to the inherently unpredictable nature of preclinical and clinical development. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to which product candidates to pursue and how much funding to direct to each product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the results of ongoing and future preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory

19


developments and our ongoing assessments as to each product candidate’s commercial potential. We will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future.

Our clinical development costs may vary significantly based on factors such as:

per patient trial costs;

the number of trials required for approval;

the number of sites included in the trials;

the countries in which the trials are conducted;

the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

the number of patients that participate in the trials;

the number of doses that patients receive;

the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

potential additional safety monitoring requested by regulatory agencies;

the duration of patient participation in the trials and follow-up;

the cost and timing of manufacturing our product candidates;

the phase of development of our product candidates; and

the efficacy and safety profile of our product candidates.

 

In process research and development

 

In process research and development, or IPR&D, expenses include in process research and development acquired as part of an asset acquisition or in-license for which there is no alternative future use, are expensed as incurred.

 

21


IPR&D expenses consist of our upfront payments made to Pulmokine, Inc., in connection with the in-license of GB002, the value of our stock issued to former AA Biopharma Inc. shareholders, in connection with the acquisition of GB001, and our upfront and milestone payments made to Aerpio Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Aerpio, in connection with the in-license of GB004, our upfront and milestone payments made to Adhaere Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Adhaere, in connection with the acquisition of GB1275, and upfront and milestone payments made in connection with the acquisition and development of our other preclinical programs.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions. Other significant costs include facility-related costs, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services and insurance costs.

 

We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase for the foreseeable future to support our expanded infrastructure and increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely include increased expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations costs associated with operating as a public company.

 

Other income, net

 

Other income, net consists of (1) interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, (2) interest expense related to the convertible promissory note issued in October 2017, and (3) other miscellaneous income (expense). The note converted into shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock in January 2018.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred substantial operating losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of March 31,September 30, 2019 we had an accumulated deficit of $186.5$279.5 million.

 

Our primary use of cash is to fund operating expenses, which consist primarily of research and development expenditures, and to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

From our inception through the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, our operations have been financed primarily by gross proceeds of $601.3$631.3 million from the sale of our convertible preferred stock, convertible promissory note, proceeds from our IPO and proceeds from our IPO.term loan. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $481.2$446.5 million.

 

On February 12, 2019, we closed our IPO and the underwriters in the IPO purchased 19,837,500 shares, including the full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The net proceeds from the IPO were $291.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock at a ratio of 4.5-to-one. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to capital preservation and liquidity.

 

On May 2, 2019, we entered into a credit, guaranty and security agreement, as amended, pursuant to which the lenders party thereto agreed to make term loans available to us for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $150.0 million in term loan commitments, including a $30.0 million term loan which was funded at the closing date, with the ability to access the remaining $120.0 million in three additional tranches (of $40.0 million, $30.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively), subject to specified availability periods, the achievement of certain clinical development milestones, minimum cash requirements and other customary conditions. Additional information about this credit facility and our long-term borrowings is presented in Note 5 “Long-term Debt” to the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

Financing activities

 

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, financing activities provided $291.3$320.1 million of cash, primarily resulting from the net proceeds from our IPO.IPO of $291.3 million, and proceeds from a long-term debt facility of $30 million offset by $1.8 million of debt issuance costs.

 

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, financing activities provided $71.9$303.0 million of cash, primarily resulting from the net proceeds from the issuance of our Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock.

 

Funding requirements

 

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next 12 months. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress and expenses in these trials is uncertain.

 

25


Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the type, number, scope, progress, expansions, results, costs and timing of, our preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates which we are pursuing or may choose to pursue in the future;

the costs and timing of manufacturing for our product candidates;

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

the costs of obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;

our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel to satisfy our obligations as a public company, including enhanced internal controls over financial reporting;

the costs associated with hiring additional personnel and consultants as our preclinical and clinical activities increase;

the timing and amount of the milestone or other payments we must make to the licensors and other third parties from whom we have in-licensed our acquired our product candidates;

the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities if any product candidate is approved;

our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance, coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors and adequate market share and revenue for any approved products;

the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements; and

costs associated with any products or technologies that we may in-license or acquire.

 

23


Until such time as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, our credit facility, debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements.

 

However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our common stock. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, we could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product candidate development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

Under our license agreements with Pulmokine and Aerpio and our merger agreement with Adhaere, as well as our other license and acquisition agreements, we have payment obligations that are contingent upon future events such as our achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones and are required to make royalty payments in connection with the sale of products developed under those agreements. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, we were unable to estimate the timing or likelihood of achieving the outstanding milestones or making future product sales and, therefore, any related payments arehad not included inbeen accrued as the table above.underlying contingencies had not yet been met.

 

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with clinical trial sites and clinical supply manufacturers and with vendors for preclinical studies, research supplies and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination after a notice period, and, therefore, are cancelable contracts. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in the composition of these contractual obligations or commitments as discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

26


 

JOBS Act

 

As an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, we can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We intend to rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including without limitation, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our IPO, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes surrounding our market risk, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, and inflation risk, from the discussion provided in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed by us in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019, other than the risk factor set forth below.

The termsand in Part II, Item 1A of our credit facility place restrictionsQuarterly Report on our operating and financial flexibility.

On May 2,Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 we entered into a credit, guaranty and security agreement, or the Credit Facility, agented by MidCap Financial Trust, or MidCap, and the additional lenders party thereto from time to time, that is secured by substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ personal property, including intellectual property. The outstanding principal balance under the credit facility was $30.0 million at the closing of the Credit Facility on May 2, 2019.

The credit facility includes affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us. The affirmative covenants include, among others, covenants requiring us to maintain our legal existence and governmental approvals, deliver certain financial reports, maintain insurance coverage, maintain property, pay taxes, satisfy certain requirements regarding accounts and comply with laws and regulations.  The negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on transferring collateral, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, creating liens, amending material agreements and organizational documents, selling assets and suffering a change in control, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The credit facility also includes events of default, the occurrence and continuation of which could cause interest to be charged at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 3.0% and would provide MidCap, as agent, with the right to exercise remedies against us, and the collateral securing the credit facility, including foreclosure against our properties securing the credit facilities, including our cash.  These events of default include, among other things, our failure to pay any amounts due under the credit facility, a breach of covenants under the Credit Facility, our insolvency or the occurrence of insolvency events, the occurrence of a change in control, the occurrence of certain U.S. Food and Drug Administration and regulatory events, our failure to remain registeredfiled with the SEC and listed for trading on NASDAQ, the occurrence of a material adverse change, the occurrence of a default under a material agreement reasonably expected to result in a material adverse change, the occurrence of certain defaults under certain other indebtedness in an amount greater than $2,500,000 and the occurrence of certain defaults under subordinated indebtedness and convertible indebtedness. The occurrence of an event of default could significantly harm our business and prospects and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.May 14, 2019.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and ability to raise additional sources of cash, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to service our debt, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring our debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. If we desire to refinance our indebtedness, our ability to do so will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. If we raise any additional debt financing, the terms of such additional debt could further restrict our operating and financial flexibility.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and prior to the completion of our IPO, options to purchase 11,111 shares of our common stock were exercised for aggregate consideration of approximately $29,000, at an exercise price of $2.61.None.

 

The stock options and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of such options as described were issued pursuant to written compensatory plans or arrangements with our employees and directors, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act or the exemption set forth in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder as a transaction not involving any public offering.

26


Use of Proceeds

 

On February 7, 2019, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-228984) was declared effective by the SEC for our initial public offering. At the closing of the offering on February 12, 2019, we sold 19,837,500 shares of common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 2,587,500 additional shares, at an initial public offering price of $16.00 per share and received gross proceeds of $317.4 million, which resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $291.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $22.2 million and offering-related transaction costs of approximately $3.9 million. None of the expenses associated with the initial public offering were paid to directors, officers, persons owning ten percent or more of any class of equity securities, or to their associates, or to our affiliates. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, SVB Leerink LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Evercore Group L.L.C. acted as joint book-running managers for the offering.

 

As of September 30, 2019, we have not used any of the proceeds from our initial public offering. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering from that described in the final prospectus filed by us with the SEC on February 8, 2019.
