Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Description of Business and Liquidity

(A) Description of Business

Roivant Sciences Ltd. (inclusive of its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “RSL”) aims to improve health by rapidly delivering innovative medicines and technologies to patients. The Company does this by building biotech and healthcare technology companies (“Vants”) and deploying technology to drive greater efficiency in research and development and commercialization. In addition to biopharmaceutical subsidiaries, the Company also builds technology Vants focused on improving the process of developing and commercializing medicines. The Company was founded on April 7, 2014 as a Bermuda exempted limited company.

VTAMA® (tapinarof) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in May 2022 for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adult patients.

The Company has determined that it hasone operating and reporting segment as it allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis. The Company’s subsidiaries are wholly owned subsidiaries and majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. Refer to Note 3, “Equity Method Investments” for further discussion of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities.

On September 30, 2021, RSL completed its business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Montes Archimedes Acquisition Corp. (“MAAC”), a special purpose acquisition company, and began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ROIV.”

(B) Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. In December 2023, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $5.3 billion on the sale of Telavant net assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately$6.7 billion and its retained earnings was$727.3 million. For thenine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred net income of approximately$4.4 billion and a net loss of approximately$1.1 billion, respectively. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, sale of subsidiary interests, debt financings and revenue generated from licensing and collaboration arrangements. Through its subsidiary, Dermavant Sciences Ltd., the Company has launched its first commercial product, VTAMA, following approval by the FDA in May 2022.

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, uncertainties related to commercialization of products, regulatory approvals to market its product candidates, dependence on key products, dependence on third-party service providers, such as contract research organizations, and protection of intellectual property rights. Management expects to incur additional losses in the future to fund its operations and conduct product research and development and may require additional capital to fully implement its business plan.

The Company expects its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its committed operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(A) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31, and its fiscal quarters end on June 30, September 30, and December 31.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and follow the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements as certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 filed with the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, for any other interim period, or for any other future year.

Any references in these notes to applicable accounting guidance are meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) and Accounting Standards Updates (‘‘ASU’’) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RSL and the subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, most often through a majority voting interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For consolidated entities where the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of common stock ownership interest retained in the respective operations by the noncontrolling parties. The Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of shareholders’ equity on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company accounts for changes in its ownership interest in its subsidiaries while control is retained as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in RSL’s ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted is recognized within shareholders’ equity attributable to RSL.

(B) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to assets, liabilities, costs, expenses, contingent liabilities, share-based compensation and research and development costs. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(C) Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits and cash equivalents in highly-rated, federally-insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity. The Company has not experienced any credit losses related to these financial instruments and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk related to these instruments.

The Company has long-lived assets in different geographic locations. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, a majority of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States.

(D) Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits in banks and all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Cash as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows includes the aggregate amounts of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):

December 31, 2023March 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents$6,670,810$1,676,813
Restricted cash (included in “Other current assets”)5,1655,011
Restricted cash (included in “Other assets”)9,48310,291
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$6,685,458$1,692,115

(E) Contingencies

The Company may be, from time to time, a party to various disputes and claims arising from normal business activities. The Company continually assesses any litigation or other claims it may confront to determine if an unfavorable outcome would lead to a probable loss or reasonably possible loss which could be estimated. The Company accrues for all contingencies at the earliest date at which the Company deems it probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such liability can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely than another, the Company accrues the minimum of the range. In the cases where the Company believes that a reasonably possible loss exists, the Company discloses the facts and circumstances of the litigation, including an estimable range, if possible.

(F) Investments

Investments in equity securities may be accounted for using (i) the fair value option, if elected, (ii) fair value through earnings if fair value is readily determinable or (iii) for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the measurement alternative to measure at cost adjusted for any impairment and observable price changes, as applicable. The election to use the measurement alternative is made for each eligible investment.

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for certain investments over which the Company has significant influence. The Company believes the fair value option best reflects the underlying economics of the investment. See Note 3, “Equity Method Investments.”

(G) Fair Value Measurements

The Company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by accounting standards to value its financial instruments. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Fair value is defined as the exchange price, or 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 at the reporting date. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following:

•Level 1-Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
•Level 2-Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3-Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments include shares of common stock of Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (“Arbutus”); shares of common stock of Heracles Parent, L.L.C., the parent entity of Datavant, (as defined and discussed in Note 3, “Equity Method Investments”); liability instruments issued, including warrant and earn-out shares liabilities issued in connection with the Company’s business combination with MAAC (as discussed in Note 12, “Earn-Out Shares, Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants”); its investments in other entities; cash and cash equivalents consisting of money market funds; accounts payable; and long-term debt.

The shares of Arbutus common stock and investments in common stock with a readily determinable fair value are classified as Level 1, and their fair value is determined based upon quoted market prices in an active market. The shares of common stock of Heracles Parent, L.L.C., the parent entity of Datavant (as defined and discussed in Note 3, “Equity Method Investments”) and liability instruments issued, excluding the Public Warrants (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Earn-Out Shares, Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants”), are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as the assumptions and estimates used in the valuations are unobservable in the market. Prior to their settlement, the Public Warrants were publicly traded and therefore were classified as Level 1 as the Public Warrants had a readily determinable fair value. Cash and accounts payable are stated at their respective historical carrying amounts, which approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Money market funds are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued at the closing price reported by an actively traded exchange. The carrying value of long-term debt issued by Dermavant Sciences Ltd. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “Dermavant”), which is stated at amortized cost, approximates fair value based on current interest rates for similar types of borrowings and therefore is included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt issued by Dermavant for which the fair value option has been elected is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the assumptions and estimates used in the valuation are unobservable in the market.

(H) Significant Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023.

(I) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt any material accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

(J) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This ASU is applicable to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. These amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which includes updates to the income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Equity Method Investments

The Company maintains equity method investments in certain entities. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the most significant of these were our investments in Arbutus and Datavant (as defined below), which are accounted for using the fair value option.

The Company determined that it does not control these entities and as a result does not consolidate these entities. Due to the Company’s significant influence over operating and financial policies of these entities, the entities are considered related parties of the Company.

Investment in Arbutus

The Company holds an investment in Arbutus in the form of 38,847,462 common shares of Arbutus. As of December 31, 2023, RSL held approximately 23% of issued and outstanding shares of Arbutus.

At December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s investment in Arbutus was$97.1 million and$117.7 million, respectively. During the three andnine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of$18.3 million and an unrealized loss of$20.6 million on its investment in Arbutus, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three andnine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of$16.3 million and an unrealized loss of$25.3 million on its investment in Arbutus, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Company’s investment was determined using the closing price of Arbutus’s common stock on December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 of $2.50 and $3.03, respectively.

Investment in Datavant

In June 2021, Datavant and Heracles Parent, L.L.C. (referred to herein as “Ciox Parent” and, after the closing of the Datavant Merger (as defined below), “Datavant”), primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary CIOX Health, LLC, entered into a definitive agreement to merge Datavant with and into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Ciox Parent (the “Datavant Merger”). As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s minority equity interest represented approximately 9% of the outstanding Class A units in Ciox Parent. Ciox Parent’s capital structure includes several classes of preferred units that, among other features, have liquidation preferences and conversion rights. Upon conversion of such preferred units into Class A units, the Company’s ownership interest would be diluted.

Asof December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment was$135.9 million and$178.6 million, respectively. During the three andnine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized unrealized losses on its investment in Datavant of$28.4 million and$42.6 million, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three andnine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an unrealized gain on of$7.5 million and an unrealized loss of$21.4 million on its investment in Datavant, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the Company’s investment was determined using valuation models that incorporate significant unobservable inputs and is classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements” for more information.

Note 4—Intangible Assets

In July 2018, Dermavant acquired the worldwide rights (other than for China) with respect to certain intellectual property rights retained by Welichem Biotech Inc. (“Welichem”) to VTAMA and related compounds from Glaxo Group Limited and GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property Development Ltd. (collectively, “GSK”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. GSK previously acquired rights to a predecessor formulation from Welichem pursuant to an asset purchase agreement between GSK and Welichem entered into in May 2012. The Company evaluated the agreement and determined that the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business and thus the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

Following the FDA approval of VTAMA in May 2022, the Company became obligated to pay a regulatory milestone to GSK of £100.0 million (approximately $126 million on the date of achievement) following the receipt of marketing approval of VTAMA in the United States. The milestone was paid in July 2022.

Additionally, the first sale of VTAMA in May 2022 resulted in the achievement of a milestone to Welichem Biotech Inc. of CAD$25.0 million (approximately $20 million on the date of achievement). The milestone was paid in August 2022.

Both of the above milestones were capitalized as intangible assets upon achievement and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining weighted average estimated useful lives of the intangible assets was 14.8 years.

The following table summarizes the Company’s recognized intangible assets (in thousands):

December 31, 2023March 31, 2023
Gross amount$166,471$152,629
Less: accumulated amortization(16,056)(7,748)
Net book value$150,415$144,881

Amortization expense was $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $7.2 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense was recorded as part of “Cost of revenues” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. Future amortization expense is approximately $2.5 million for the remainder of the year ended March 31, 2024, $10.1 million for each of the years ended from March 31, 2025 through March 31, 2028 and $107.5 million thereafter. The Company’s intangible assets are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar and therefore are subject to foreign currency movements.

Note 5—Recent Transactions

(A) Telavant Disposition

On December 14, 2023 (the “Transaction Date”), the Company completed the sale of its entire equity interest in its majority-owned subsidiary, Telavant Holdings, Inc. (“Telavant”), to Roche Holdings, Inc. (“Roche”) (the “Roche Transaction”). The Roche Transaction was made pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 22, 2023 among the Company, Telavant, Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”), and Roche (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Telavant was jointly formed by the Company and Pfizer in November 2022 to develop and commercialize RVT-3101, an anti-TL1A antibody in development for ulcerative colitis (“UC”) and Crohn’s disease, in the United States and Japan. Prior to the Roche Transaction, the Company held 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Telavant, and Pfizer owned the remaining 25%, in each case on an as-converted basis.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Roche acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Telavant in exchange for approximately $7.1 billion in cash at the closing of the Roche Transaction and a one-time milestone payment of $150 million in cash payable upon the initiation of a Phase 3 trial in UC. The $7.1 billion in closing consideration was paid to all of Telavant’s equity holders, including holders of restricted stock units, on a pro rata basis relative to their ownership of Telavant prior to the closing of the Roche Transaction, and this same treatment will be applied to the one-time milestone payment. The Company received an upfront payment of approximately $5.2 billion in cash as its pro rata portion of the consideration upon closing of the Roche Transaction. Additionally, the Company is eligible to receive approximately $110 million for its pro rata portion of the one-time milestone payment if the milestone payment condition is satisfied.

At the closing of the Roche Transaction, Roche acquired the full rights to further develop and manufacture RVT-3101 and commercialize it in the United States and Japan pending clinical and regulatory success. Outside of the United States and Japan, Pfizer holds commercialization rights. In addition, following the closing of the Roche Transaction, Roche acquired Telavant’s option to enter into a global collaboration with Pfizer on a next generation p40/TL1A directed bispecific antibody, currently in Phase 1.

The Telavant entity that was sold did not meet the definition of a business, and therefore the Company concluded that the Roche Transaction was a sale of non-financial assets, with control transferred at closing. The sale of Telavant did not meet the criteria for reporting discontinued operations as the sale does not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business. The Company recognized a gain on sale of Telavant net assets of approximately$5.3 billion during thethree andnine months ended December 31, 2023 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The gain does not include the Company’s portion of theone-time milestone payment, which will be recognized in the period it is achieved. The gain on sale of Telavant net assets qualifies under the substantial shareholding exemption and consequently is not subject to the corporation income tax. The table below summarizes the calculation of the gain.

(in thousands)
Consideration:
Upfront cash payment$5,234,373
Carrying amount of noncontrolling interest derecognized87,500
Total consideration5,321,873
Assets sold3,253
Liabilities transferred29,790
Net liabilities sold(26,537)
Gain on sale of Telavant net assets$5,348,410

The pretax loss generated by Telavant was $27.3 million for the period from October 1, 2023 to the Transaction Date and $71.1 million for the period from April 1, 2023 to the Transaction Date. The pretax loss generated by Telavant for the period from inception on November 14, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was $89.4 million. The entirety of the Telavant pretax losses was attributable to the Company.

(B) Asset Acquisition

In July 2023, a newly-formed subsidiary in-licensed certain intellectual property rights in exchange for a $14.0 million upfront cash payment. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business. The acquired rights represent in-process research and development assets, which were determined to have no alternative future use. Accordingly, the Company recorded $14.0 million as acquired in-process research and development expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Additionally, the newly-formed subsidiary agreed to pay up to $280 million of future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments and tiered high-single digit sales-based royalties.

(C) Deconsolidation of Subsidiaries

In July 2023, VantAI Holdings, Inc. (“VantAI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed a transaction pursuant to which SK, Inc. (“SK”) contributed $6.0 million to VantAI in exchange for preferred shares in VantAI (the “VantAI Preferred Financing”). In August 2023, the Company and SK Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“SK Bio”), a subsidiary of SK, completed a transaction pursuant to which SK Bio purchased all of the Company’s shares in Proteovant Sciences, Inc. (“Proteovant”) in exchange for $47.5 million (the “Proteovant Sale”).

As a result of changes in governance and voting rights, the Company determined that it no longer held a controlling financial interest in VantAI. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated VantAI as of July 2023. The Company recorded a $17.4 million gain on deconsolidation of Proteovant and VantAI in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Upon deconsolidation, the Company recorded its $9.0 million retained investment in VantAI based upon the fair value of the preferred shares held by the Company. Due to the Company’s significant influence over the operating and financial policies of VantAI, the Company will account for its retained interest under the equity method of accounting.

Note 7—Long-Term Debt

Dermavant

Funding Agreement with NovaQuest

In connection with Dermavant’s acquisition of tapinarof from GSK pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “GSK Agreement”), Dermavant and NovaQuest Co-Investment Fund VIII, L.P. (“NovaQuest”) entered into a funding agreement (the “NovaQuest Agreement”). Pursuant to the NovaQuest Agreement, Dermavant borrowed $100.0 million in August 2018 and $17.5 million in October 2018.

In exchange for the $117.5 million in total funding from NovaQuest, Dermavant agreed to make fixed payments to NovaQuest under the NovaQuest Agreement upon regulatory approval of tapinarof. For each of the atopic dermatitis and psoriasis indications, Dermavant is required to make quarterly payments to NovaQuest totaling $176.3 million per indication over asix-year period following regulatory approval of tapinarof for the applicable indication in the United States. In the event that Dermavant receives regulatory approval for one indication, and Dermavant terminates the development of the other indication for any reason other than a Technical Failure (as defined below), then Dermavant will be required to make the above-referenced quarterly payments to NovaQuest up to $440.6 million over a 15-year period for the approved indication, which are referred to as 15-year Payments. A Technical Failure is deemed to occur for an indication if the development program for such indication is terminated due to (1) significant safety concerns, (2) material adverse developments or (3) the receipt by Dermavant of a complete response letter or a final non-approval letter from the FDA is expected to result in significant delay in or cost to reach commercialization for the applicable indication. In addition, Dermavant is required to make up to $141.0 million in payments to NovaQuest upon achievement of certain commercial milestones. In the event that Dermavant is required to start making 15-year Payments, then Dermavant has the right to offset such amounts by up to $88.1 million of the commercial milestone payments, with such offset being applied to the quarterly payments in reverse chronological order (such that the final quarterly payments owed will be used first to offset the commercial milestone payments). The NovaQuest Agreement does not contain any royalty payment requirements on commercialization of tapinarof. Upon receiving FDA approval for the psoriasis indication, Dermavant made its first quarterly payment of $7.3 million under the NovaQuest Agreement in May 2022 and has made cumulative quarterly payments totaling $51.4 million as of December 31, 2023.

At issuance, the Company concluded that certain features of the long-term debt would be considered derivatives that would require bifurcation. In lieu of bifurcating various features in the agreement, the Company has elected the fair value option for this financial instrument and records the changes in the fair value within the statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. Direct costs and fees related to the debt issued under the NovaQuest Agreement were recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value of the debt was $221.5 million and $207.6 million, respectively. Refer to Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements” for additional details regarding the fair value measurement.

The carrying balance of the debt issued to NovaQuest was as follows (in thousands):

December 31, 2023March 31, 2023
Fair value of long-term debt$221,510$207,640
Less: current portion(26,950)(26,940)

Revenue Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement

In May 2021, Dermavant, as seller, entered into a $160.0 million revenue interest purchase and sale agreement (the “RIPSA”) for its investigational product tapinarof with XYQ Luxco, NovaQuest Co-Investment Fund XVII, L.P., an affiliate of NovaQuest Capital Management, LLC, and MAM Tapir Lender, LLC, an affiliate of Marathon Asset Management, L.P., together with U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent. Under the terms of the RIPSA, Dermavant is obligated to pay royalties based on a capped single-digit revenue interest in net sales of tapinarof for all dermatological indications in the United States, up to a cap of $344.0 million, in exchange for the $160.0 million in committed funding, which was paid to Dermavant in June 2022 following the approval of tapinarof by the FDA.

The transaction is accounted for as debt. Over the term of the arrangement, the effective interest rate will be updated prospectively each reporting period based on the carrying amount of the note, payments made to date, and the estimated remaining cash flows related to the note.

Each EIP is generally structured so that the applicable subsidiary, and its affiliates’ employees, directors, officers and consultants are eligible to receive non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted stock unit awards, and other share awards under their respective EIP. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $23.3 million and $53.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and $13.7 million and $37.8 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, related to subsidiary EIPs.

Note 10—Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 was 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 was (0.7)% and (0.9)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 are driven by the Company’s gain on sale of Telavant net assets, which qualifies for the substantial shareholding exemption and consequently is not subject to the corporation income tax, as well as the jurisdictional earnings by location and a valuation allowance that eliminates the Company’s global net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rates for three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 are driven by the jurisdictional earnings by location and a valuation allowance that eliminates the Company’s global net deferred tax assets.

The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date based on available positive and negative evidence in order to determine the amount which is more likely than not to be realized and records a valuation allowance as necessary.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies

(A) Commitments

The Company has entered into commitments under various asset acquisition and license agreements. Additionally, the Company enters into agreements with contract service providers to assist in the performance of its research and development activities. Expenditures to contract research organizations and contract manufacturing organizations represent significant costs in the clinical development of its product candidates. Subject to required notice periods and certain obligations under binding purchase orders, the Company can elect to discontinue the work under these agreements at any time. The Company expects to enter into additional collaborative research, contract research, manufacturing, and supplier agreements in the future, which may require upfront payments and long-term commitments of capital resources.

The Company also has commitments relating to its long-term debt and leases. Refer to Note 7, “Long-Term Debt” for further information. There have been no material changes to the commitments relating to the Company’s leases during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 outside the ordinary course of business. For further information regarding the Company’s lease commitments, refer to Note 15, “Leases” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Purchase Commitments

In conjunction with Dermavant’s entry into the GSK Agreement in 2018, Dermavant entered into a clinical supply agreement pursuant to which GSK would provide a supply of tapinarof and clinical product at an agreed upon price during the Company’s clinical trials. In April 2019, Dermavant entered into a commercial supply agreement with GSK to continue to provide certain quantities of tapinarof and commercial product at agreed upon minimum quantities and price. The commercial supply agreement commenced in April 2022 upon completion of certain quality and regulatory conditions. In July 2022, Dermavant and GSK amended the terms of the clinical supply and commercial supply agreements which released GSK of certain commitments to supply tapinarof and released Dermavant of certain commitments to purchase tapinarof in exchange for a supplementary fee. Other supply and purchase commitments under the agreements remain in effect. In addition, Dermavant and Thermo Fisher Scientific (“TFS”) entered into a Commercial Manufacturing and Supply Agreement for which TFS agreed to provide a supply of tapinarof to Dermavant at an agreed upon price. The agreements discussed above require Dermavant to purchase certain quantities of inventory over a period offive years. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining minimum purchase commitment related to these agreements was estimated to be approximately $43.1 million.

In November 2021, the Company’s subsidiary, Immunovant, entered into a Product Service Agreement (“PSA”) with Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) by which Samsung will manufacture and supply Immunovant with batoclimab drug substance for commercial sale and perform other manufacturing-related services with respect to batoclimab. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining minimum purchase commitment related to this agreement was estimated to be approximately $18.3 million. Immunovant had the right to terminate the PSA with 30 days’ written notice to Samsung, exercisable no later than January 2024, in the event Immunovant decided to stop all development of, and all attempts to obtain regulatory approval for, batoclimab; subject to payment to Samsung of non-cancellable service fees and costs incurred by Samsung for all batches of batoclimab scheduled to be manufactured during the two-year period following such termination. Because efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approval for batoclimab remain ongoing, Immunovant did not exercise that early termination right and it has lapsed. As a result, Immunovant has an additional minimum obligation to Samsung of approximately $28.0 million to purchase additional batches of batoclimab in thefour-year period of 2026 through 2029.

In May 2021, the Company entered into a master subscription agreement with Palantir Technologies Inc. (“Palantir”) for access to Palantir’s proprietary software for afive-year period. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining minimum payments for this software subscription were $19.1 million.

Cash Bonus Program

In December 2023, the Company approved a special one-time cash retention bonus award to its employees in the aggregate amount of $76.9 million (the “Cash Bonus Program”). During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense of $27.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively, representing the portion of the bonus award that was vested and payable immediately. The remaining portion will be recognized over the applicable service period of the award. In February 2024, the Company expanded this Cash Bonus Program to include an award to its Chief Financial Officer on similar terms as the other awards previously made to other employees. The Chief Financial Officer did not receive a payment from the Cash Bonus Program approved in December. This award to the Chief Financial Officer was in the aggregate amount of $2.8 million. Fifty percent of the bonus will be payable within 30 days of the grant date, with the balance subject to vesting tied to the employee’s continued service to the Company, as described in more detail in Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report.

(B) Loss Contingencies

The Company may be, from time to time, a party to various disputes and claims arising from normal business activities. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when available information indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, and if the Company believes that a reasonably possible loss exists, the Company discloses the facts and circumstances of the litigation or claim, including an estimable range, if possible.

Immunovant Securities Litigation

In February 2021, a putative securities class action complaint was filed against Immunovant and certain of its current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of a class consisting of those who acquired Immunovant’s securities from October 2, 2019 and February 1, 2021. The complaint alleged that Immunovant and certain of its officers violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by making false and misleading statements regarding the safety of batoclimab and sought unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. In December 2021, the U.S. District Court appointed a lead plaintiff. In March 2022, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding both (i) the Company and (ii) Immunovant’s directors and underwriters as defendants, and asserting additional claims under Section 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on behalf of a putative class consisting of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Immunovant’s securities pursuant and/or traceable to Immunovant’s follow-on public offering on or about September 2, 2020. In February 2023, after further briefing on the amended complaint the U.S. District Court issued an order permitting the lead plaintiff to file a second amended complaint. That second amended complaint was filed in March 2023. The defendants’ served motions to dismiss the second amended complaint on April 28, 2023. The fully briefed motions to dismiss, including defendants’ opening briefs, lead plaintiff’s opposition and defendants’ replies, were filed with the court on June 30, 2023. No hearing date has yet been set. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the case and has not recorded a liability related to this lawsuit because, at this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate possible losses or determine whether an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote.

Acuitas Declaratory Judgment Action

In March 2022, Acuitas Therapeutics Inc. (“Acuitas”) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) against two of the Company’s affiliates, Genevant and Arbutus, seeking a declaratory judgment that certain patents held by Arbutus and licensed by Genevant are not infringed by the manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation into the United States of COMIRNATY, Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s vaccine for COVID-19 and are otherwise invalid. On September 6, 2022, Acuitas filed a First Amended Complaint. In response, on October 4, 2022, Genevant and Arbutus filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint for lack of a controversy and supporting brief. Briefing on this motion was completed in mid-November. On August 4, 2023, Acuitas voluntarily dismissed the action in the SDNY and re-filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. On October 13, 2023, Genevant and Arbutus filed a motion to dismiss the re-filed complaint. No hearing date has been set. Each of Genevant and Arbutus intends to continue to vigorously defend the case.

(C) Indemnification Agreements

The Company is a party to a number of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that contain typical provisions that obligate the Company to indemnify the other parties to such agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. The aggregate maximum potential future liability of the Company under such indemnification provisions is uncertain. The Company also indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company currently maintains director and officer liability insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from the Company’s obligation to indemnify its directors and officers. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs related to these indemnification obligations and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

Note 12—Earn-Out Shares, Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants

Earn-Out Shares

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued the following:

(a)2,033,591 common shares to Patient Square Capital LLC (the “MAAC Sponsor”) and 10,000 common shares issued to each of MAAC’s independent directors (collectively, the “20% Earn-Out Shares”), which will vest if the closing price of the Company’s common shares is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any twenty out of thirty trading day period during the Vesting Period (defined below).
(b)1,016,796 common shares issued to the MAAC Sponsor and 5,000 common shares issued to each of MAAC’s independent directors (collectively, the “10% Earn-Out Shares” and, together with the 20% Earn-Out Shares, the “Earn-Out Shares”), each in respect of its MAAC Class B Shares, will vest if the closing price of the Company’s common shares is greater than or equal to $20.00 over any twenty out of thirty trading day period during the Vesting Period (as defined below).
(c)The remaining number of common shares issued to the MAAC Sponsor and each of MAAC’s independent director are not subject to the vesting conditions described above (the “Retained Shares”).

The Vesting Period commenced on November 9, 2021 and ends no later than September 30, 2026 (the “Vesting Period”). The Vesting Period will, if a definitive purchase agreement with respect to a Sale (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) is entered into on or prior to the end of such period, be extended to the earlier of one day after the consummation of such Sale and the termination of such definitive transaction agreement, and if a Sale occurs during such Vesting Period, then all of the Earn-Out Shares unvested as of such time will automatically vest immediately prior to the consummation of such Sale. If any Earn-Out Shares have not vested on or prior to the end of such Vesting Period, then such Earn-Out Shares will be forfeited.

The Earn-Out Shares require liability classification and are classified as “Liability instruments measured at fair value” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Earn-Out Shares liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023, no Earn-Out Shares have vested.

Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants

Immediately following the Business Combination, the Company had 10,214,365 outstanding warrants for the purchase of one of the Company’s common shares, which were held by the MAAC Sponsor at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Private Placement Warrants”), and 20,535,896 outstanding warrants for the purchase of one of the Company’s common shares, which were held by MAAC’s shareholders at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated October 6, 2020, by and between the Montes Archimedes Acquisition Corp. (“MAAC”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as predecessor warrant agent, as modified by the Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated September 30, 2021, by and among MAAC, the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as successor warrant agent (as modified, the “Warrant Agreement”), the Warrants became exercisable 30 days following the completion of the Business Combination and would expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Prior to their settlement, the Warrants required liability classification and were classified as “Liability instruments measured at fair value” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Private Placement Warrants liability and Public Warrants liability were subject to remeasurement with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The Warrants were remeasured immediately prior to settlement. These remeasurements were recognized in “Change in fair value of debt and liability instruments” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company was entitled to redeem the Public Warrants at a redemption price of $0.10 per Public Warrant because the last reported sales price (the “Reference Value”) of the Company’s common shares was at least $10.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which RSL gave a Notice of Redemption. In addition, because the Reference Value was less than $18.00 per share, the outstanding Private Placement Warrants were also required to be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants. This share price performance requirement was satisfied as of July 28, 2023. On August 2, 2023, the Company announced that it would redeem all Warrants that remain outstanding on September 1, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”).

Prior to the Redemption Date, Warrant holders were permitted to exercise the Warrants (i) for cash, at an exercise price of $11.50 per common share, or (ii) on a “cashless basis” whereby, in lieu of paying the Company the $11.50 exercise price per common share, the surrendering holder would receive approximately 0.2495 common shares per Warrant as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement.

Of the 20,475,875 Public Warrants that were outstanding as of June 30, 2023,397 Public Warrants were exercised for cash at an exercise price of $11.50 per common share in exchange for an aggregate of 397 common shares and 20,061,507 were exercised on a cashless basis in exchange for an aggregate of 5,005,531 common shares. The remaining 413,971 unexercised Public Warrants were redeemed at the $0.10 redemption price. In addition, all of the Private Placement Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis in exchange for an aggregate of 2,548,621 common shares.

Note 13—Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, by level, within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

At March 31, 2023, Level 1 includes the fair value of the Public Warrants of $29.9 million, and Level 3 includes the fair value of the Earn-Out Shares of $15.2 million, Private Placement Warrants of $15.2 million, and other liability instruments issued of $3.3 million.

There were no transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy that occurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Level 3 Disclosures

The Company measures its Level 3 assets and liabilities at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which causes them to be classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the Level 3 assets and liabilities uses assumptions and estimates the Company believes would be made by a market participant in making the same valuation. The Company assesses these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis as additional data impacting the assumptions and estimates are obtained. Changes in the fair value related to updated assumptions and estimates are recorded within the statements of operations at the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities may change significantly as additional data are obtained, impacting the Company’s assumptions regarding probabilities of potential scenarios used to estimate fair value. In evaluating this information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the data used to develop the assumptions and estimates. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts, and such changes could materially impact the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

The changes in fair value of the Level 3 assets during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

Balance at March 31, 2022$193,963
Changes in fair value of investment in Datavant, included in net loss(21,452)

Investment in Datavant

The Company elected the fair value option to account for the investment in Datavant. The estimate of fair value for this investment was determined using the income approach and implementation of the option pricing method (“OPM”). The OPM allows for the allocation of a company’s equity value among the various equity capital owners (preferred and common shareholders). The OPM uses the preferred shareholders’ liquidation preferences, participation rights, dividend policy, and conversion rights to determine how proceeds from a liquidity event shall be distributed among the various ownership classes at a future date. The fair value was calculated using significant unobservable inputs including the following:

Point Estimate Used
InputAs of December 31, 2023As of March 31, 2023
Volatility95.0%100.0%
Risk-free rate4.46%4.02%

Debt issued by Dermavant to NovaQuest

The fair value of the debt instrument as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 represents the fair value of amounts payable to NovaQuest calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method under the income approach determined by using probability assessments of the expected future payments through 2032. The future payments are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market which are subject to remeasurement at each reporting date. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could ultimately be paid by Dermavant to NovaQuest.

Earn-Out Shares

The fair value of the Earn-Out Shares issued as part of the Business Combination was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method under the income approach. The model was structured to include the lock-up periods to which the Earn-Out Shares are subject. Refer to Note 12, “Earn-Out Shares, Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants” for additional details. Significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of the Earn-Out Shares included the following:

Point Estimate Used
InputAs of December 31, 2023As of March 31, 2023
Volatility61.9%79.9%
Risk-free rate4.07%3.76%

As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Earn-Out Shares was $24.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively. Earn-Out Shares were included in “Liability instruments measured at fair value” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Private Placement Warrants

Prior to their settlement, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants issued as part of the Business Combination was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method under the income approach. The model was structured to incorporate the redemption features as discussed in Note 12, “Earn-Out Shares, Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants” and the added restriction by which the Company could not redeem the Private Placement Warrants if the Reference Value was greater than $18.00. Significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants included the following:

Point Estimate Used
InputAs of March 31, 2023
Volatility50.5%
Risk-free rate3.76%
Term (in years)3.50

In August 2023, the Company announced that it would redeem all Warrants that remain outstanding on September 1, 2023. All of the Private Placement Warrants were exercised. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was $15.2 million, which was included in “Liability instruments measured at fair value” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 14—Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Roivant Sciences Ltd. by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Roivant Sciences Ltd. by the diluted weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period.

The computations for basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share were as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Net income (loss) per common share, diluted$6.03$(0.49)$5.46$(1.39)

For periods of loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similar to basic loss per share as the effect of including all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, all outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive due to the net loss.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the following potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because including them would have been anti-dilutive:
