Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business Operations

Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 3, 2013 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company is a dermatology therapeutics company developing and selling medications for skin diseases requiring medical intervention. On July 21, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved YCANTH (VP-102) topical solution for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older. The Company launched commercial operations in August 2023.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $250.8 million. The Company believes its cash, and cash equivalents of $48.9 million as of March 31, 2024 will be sufficient to support the Company’s planned operations only into the first quarter of 2025. These factors cause substantial doubt to exist about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company plans to secure additional capital in the future through equity or debt financings, partnerships, or other sources to carry out the Company’s planned commercial and development activities. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its future commercialization efforts or research and development programs.

On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement which provides for up to $125.0 million in debt under a Loan Facility (as defined in Note 10). The Company borrowed $50.0 million under the Loan Facility on July 26, 2023, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $44.1 million after payment of certain fees and transaction related expenses. In addition, subject to the Company's achievement of certain revenue targets, up to $25.0 million will be made available on or prior to June 30, 2024, up to $30.0 million will be made available on or prior to December 31, 2024, up to $10.0 million will be made available on or prior to March 31, 2025, and up to $10.0 million will be made available on or prior to June 30, 2025. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility will mature on July 26, 2028.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. They may not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in its Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 29, 2024. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience as well as other pertinent industry and regulatory authority information, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will beaffected.

Collateral Cash

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 includes a cash deposit of $0.5 million with Bank of America as required under the Commercial Credit Card Program with a balance equal to the outstanding credit limit on commercial credit cards.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments included cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value, given their short-term nature. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value as the interest rate is reflective of current market rates on debt with similar terms and conditions.

Cash equivalents subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. However, the Company invests its cash in accordance with a policy objective that seeks to ensure both liquidity and safety of principal. The policy limits investments to instruments issued by the U.S. government, certain SEC registered money market funds that invest only in U.S. government obligations and various other low-risk liquid investment options, and places restrictions on portfolio maturity terms.

Accounts receivable subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk as all of the Company's revenue is from sales of a single product, YCANTH (VP-102), primarily to one pharmaceutical wholesale/distributor.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, related to YCANTH (VP-102) sales, was $7.0 million at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company hadno allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's assessment of the creditworthiness and financial condition of its customers, aging of receivables, as well as the general economic environment. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. Current payment terms for YCANTH (VP-102) are approximately 60 days from the shipment date.

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the specific identification method. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities and, when appropriate, records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive the new cost basis, which takes into account the Company’s sales forecast and corresponding expiry dates. The Company has not recognized a provision for obsolete and excess inventory as of March 31, 2024.

On July 21, 2023, the Company received FDA approval for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosumand began capitalizing inventory purchases of saleable product from certain suppliers. Prior to FDA approval, all product purchased from such suppliers was included as a component of research and development expense, as the Company was unable to assert that the inventory had future economic benefit until YCANTH received FDA approval. Pursuant to the supply agreement (Note 6), the Company purchased and included in research and development expenses approximately $4.5 million of raw cantharidin and processed active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API"). The raw cantharidin and processed API is sufficient to produce approximately 14.0 million finished drug product applicators to be used for commercially saleable product and other product candidates. In addition, the Company purchased other components and services related to YCANTH for commercially saleable product and included approximately $1.2 million in research and development expenses prior to FDA approval. As a result, cost of product revenue related to YCANTH will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials over approximately the next nine months as previously expensed inventory is utilized for commercial production and sold to customers. If the Company were to have included those costs previously expensed as a component of cost of product revenue, the Company’s cost of product revenue for thethree months ended March 31, 2024 would have been $0.7 million including $0.3 million of obsolete inventory costs.

The Company recognizes revenue from sales of a single product, YCANTH (VP-102) (the “Product”) in accordance with ASC Topic 606 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers. YCANTH (VP-102) became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients with a prescription in the United States in the third quarter of 2023. The Company sells the Product primarily to one customer, a pharmaceutical wholesaler/distributor (the “Customer”) who in turn sells the Product directly to clinics, hospitals, and federal healthcare programs. Revenue is recognized as the Product is physically delivered to the Customer.

Gross product sales are reduced by corresponding gross-to-net (“GTN”) estimates using the expected value method, resulting in the Company’s reported “Product revenue, net” in the accompanying statements of operations. Product revenue, net reflects the amount the Company ultimately expects to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account the current period gross sales and related cash receipts and the subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that the Company estimates for the various GTN categories discussed below. The GTN estimates are based upon information received from external sources, such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales to end-users during the period, in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amount of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, co-pay assistance and distribution, data, and group purchasing organizations ("GPO") administrative fees may be materially above or below the amount estimated. Variance between actual amounts and estimated amounts may result in prospective adjustments to reported net product revenue.

Each of the GTN estimate categories are discussed below:

Product Returns Allowances: The Customer is contractually permitted to return purchased Product in certain circumstances. The Company estimates expected returns based on the Company’s review of similar products in the industry. As historical data for returns of the Product becomes available over time, the Company will utilize historical return rates of the Product in making its estimates. Returned Product is typically destroyed, since substantially all returns are due to expiry and cannot be resold.

Government Chargebacks: The Product is subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs, including Medicare and the 340B drug pricing program. Qualifying entities (the “End-Users”) purchase the Product from the Customer at their applicable qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount the Company incurs represents the difference between the Company’s contractual sales price to the Customer and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the government program.

Medicaid Rebates: The Product is subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with the Product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for the Product under the applicable Medicaid program. The Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require the Company to project the magnitude of its sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates.

Patient Assistance: The Company offers a voluntary co-pay patient assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to eligible patients with a prescription drug co-payment required by payors and coupon programs for cash payors. The calculation of the current liability for this assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with YCANTH (VP-102) that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period.

Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of the Company’s products for various commercial services including contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of the Company’s applicable sales.

Cost of product revenue includes the cost of inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials for YCANTH (VP-102) sales. Prior to FDA approval of YCANTH (VP-102) in July 2023, the Company expensed approximately $0.1 million in costs associated with the manufacturing of YCANTH (VP-102) as a component of research and development expense. Therefore, these costs are not included in cost of product revenue.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expenses, comprised primarily of print and digital assets, social media and internet advertising as well as search engine marketing, are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, advertising expense was approximately $1.5 million.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period including pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock that were issued in an underwritten offering in February 2023 (Note 7). The pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price of $0.0001 per share is non-substantive and is virtually assured. Diluted net loss per share excludes the potential impact of 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.

The table below provides potential shares outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share, as the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, and its adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3 —Inventory

Upon FDA approval of YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum on July 21, 2023, the Company began capitalizing the purchases of saleable inventory of YCANTH (VP-102) from suppliers. Inventory consisted of the following (in thousands):

Litigation

On June 6, 2022, plaintiff Kranthi Gorlamari (“Plaintiff”) filed a putative class action complaint captioned Gorlamari v. Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors (“Defendants”). On January 12, 2023, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging that Defendants violated federal securities laws by, among other things, failing to disclose certain manufacturing deficiencies at the facility where our contract manufacturer produced bulk solution for the YCANTH (VP-102) drug device and that such deficiencies posed a risk to the prospects for regulatory approval of YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum. The amended complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages and other relief on behalf of Plaintiff and all other persons and entities which purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between May 19, 2021 and May 24, 2022 (the “Putative Class Period”).

On January 12, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court held that Plaintiff’s claims relating to statements made in May and June 2021 were sufficiently pled, but dismissed Plaintiff’s claims relating to all other statements made during the Putative Class Period. On January 26, 2024, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in an attempt to cure certain of the deficiencies identified in the January 12, 2024 ruling. Defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was fully briefed as of April 22, 2024, and is pending before the Court.

The Company is also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings will not materially affect the financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows.

Supply Agreement and Purchase Order

On July 16, 2018, the Company entered into a supply agreement with a supplier of crude cantharidin material. All executed purchase orders for crude cantharidin in the ordinary course of business are expected to be covered under the terms of the supply agreement. Pursuant to the supply agreement, the supplier has agreed that it will not supply cantharidin, any beetles or other raw material from which cantharidin is derived to any other customer in North America, subject to specified minimum annual purchase orders and forecasts by the Company. The supply agreement had an initial five-year term, and now renews for successive annual periods absent termination by either party in accordance with the terms of the supply agreement. Each party also has the right to terminate the supply agreement for other customary reasons such as material breach orbankruptcy.

Inboth 2023 and 2022, the Company executed respective purchase orders pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase $0.7 million of crude cantharidin material and made prepayments of $0.7 million in each year against the purchase orders. The Company received the shipment for the 2023 purchase during thethree months ended March 31, 2024, which was reflected as a prepaid expense of $0.7 million on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million (the “Loan Facility”). The Company borrowed $50.0 million under the Credit Agreement on July 26, 2023, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $44.1 million after payment of certain fees and transaction related expenses. In addition, subject to the Company's achievement of certain revenue targets, up to $25.0 million will be made available on or prior to June 30, 2024, up to $30.0 million will be made available on or prior to December 31, 2024, up to $10.0 million will be made available on or prior to March 31, 2025, and up to $10.0 million will be made available on or prior to June 30, 2025. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility will mature on July 26, 2028. During the term of the Loan Facility, interest payable in cash by the Company shall accrue on any outstanding balance due under the Loan Facility at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (x) the SOFR rate (which is the forward-looking term rate for a one-month tenor based on the secured overnight financing rate administered by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited) and (y)4.00% plus, in either case,8.00%. During an event of default, any outstanding amount under the Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 4.00%in excess ofthe otherwise applicable rate of interest. The Company paid or will pay certain fees with respect to the Loan Facility, including an upfront fee, an unused fee on the undrawn portion of the Loan Facility, an administration fee, a prepayment premium and an exit fee, as well as certain other fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; material monetary judgment defaults; impairment of any material definitive loan documentation; other material adverse effects; key permit and other regulatory events; key person events; and change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (subject to notice and grace periods), additional interest of 4% per annum applies and obligations under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with all covenants.

On the Closing Date, the Company also issued the Initial Lender warrants to purchase up to 518,551 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $6.0264 per share, which have a term of 10 years from the issuance date. The warrants were deemed to be classified as equity per the guidance ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. The proceeds from the debt transaction were allocated among the two instruments based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the warrants was determined to be $2.0 million and the fair value was determined to be $2.4 million based on the Black-Scholes valuation technique and the key assumptions used were as follows: (i) a contracted term of 10 years, (ii) an expected volatility of 94.86%, (iii) a risk free rate of 3.86% and (iv)no estimated dividend yield.

On each of December 20, 2023 and January 31, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to extend a deadline for a specified regulatory milestone. For each amendment, the Company paid an amendment fee of $250,000. The Company accounted for these amendments as modifications and the amendment fees were reflected in the debt discount and amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

The Loan Facility is classified as non-current debt as the Company does not currently intend to repay amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility prior to the maturity date of July 26, 2028 and believes that the probability of any acceleration of the Loan Facility is not probable at March 31, 2024. The Company has incurred debt discount and issuance costs of $10.4 million, that are netted against the carrying value of the Loan Facility. The debt discount and issuance costs consists of $5.9 million paid in cash during the year ended December 31, 2023 and the final payment fee of $2.5 million, classified as a long-term liability and the fair value of the warrants of $2.0 million, classified as equity on the balance sheet.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized interest expense of $2.3 million of which $1.8 million was interest on the term loan and $0.5 million was non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and accrual of the final payment fee.

The following table summarizes the composition of debt as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Note 11—License and Collaboration Agreements

The transfer payments shall be payable, on a product-by-product basis, beginning on the first commercial sale of such product and ending on the latest of (a) expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim contained in certain licensed patents in Japan that cover such product, (b) expiration of regulatory exclusivity for the first indication for such product in Japan, and, (c) (i) with respect to the first product, ten years after first commercial sale of such product, and,(ii) with respect to any other product, the later of (x) ten years after first commercial sale of the first product and (y) five years after first commercial sale of such product.

The Torii Agreement expires on a product-by-product basis upon expiration of Torii’s obligation under the agreement to make transfer price payments for such product. Torii has the right to terminate the agreement upon specified prior written notice to us. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of the agreement by, or insolvency of, the other party. The Company may terminate the agreement in the event that Torii commences a legal action challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any licensed patents.

On March 7, 2022, the Company executed a Clinical Supply Agreement with Torii, whereby the Company will supply product to Torii for use in clinical trials and other development activities. The Company recognized collaboration revenue of $0.6 million and $37,000 for thethree months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively related to supplies and development activity pursuant to this agreement.

Lytix Agreement

In August 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Lytix Biopharma AS (“Lytix”) for the use of licensed technology, referred to as VP-315, to research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import, and otherwise commercialize products for use in all malignant and pre-malignant dermatological indications, other than metastatic melanoma and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (the” Lytix Agreement”). As part of the Lytix Agreement, the Company has paid Lytix milestone fees of $3.6 million in previous periods. The Company is also obligated to pay up to $111.0 million contingent on achievement of specified development, regulatory, and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide annual net sales ranging in the low double digits to the mid-teens, subject to certain customary reductions. The Company’s obligation to pay royalties expires on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis on the later of the expiration or abandonment of the last to expire licensed patent covering VP-315 anywhere in the world and expiration of regulatory exclusivity for VP-315 in such country. Additionally, all upfront fees and milestone-based payments received by the Company from a sublicensee will be treated as net sales and will be subject to the royalty payment obligations under the Lytix Agreement, and all royalties received by the Company from a sublicensee shall be shared with Lytix at a rate that is initially 50% but decreases based on the stage of development of VP-315 at the time such sublicense is granted.

Note 12 – Subsequent Event

Third Amendment to Credit Agreement

On May 6, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders waived the going concern requirement under Section 7.1(b) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Third Amendment”).
