Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (“Theravance Biopharma” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development and commercialization of medicines. The Company’s focus is to delivermedicines that make a difference® in people's lives.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date and of the operating results and cash flows for those periods, and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“US”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated December 31, 2023 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2024.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or for any other interim period or for any future period. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making estimates, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements based on current operating plans and financial forecasts.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material revisions in the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to provide additional information in their tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements income tax disclosures.

The Company has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not currently believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Net Loss per Share and Anti-dilutive Securities

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by increasing the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of potential ordinary shares determined using the treasury stock method. Potential ordinary shares include outstanding share options, ordinary shares expected to be issued under the Company’s employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and performance-contingent RSUs for which the performance or market vesting conditions have been deemed probable. Performance-contingent RSUs with performance or market vesting conditions that have been deemed not probable as of the end of the period are not included in the diluted net loss per share computation.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260,Earnings Per Share, if a company incurred a net loss, then potential ordinary shares are considered anti-dilutive for the periods in which the net loss was recognized. As a result, the following potential ordinary shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

3. Revenue

Revenue from Collaborative Arrangements

Viatris

In January 2015, the Company and Viatris Inc. (“Viatris”) established a strategic collaboration (the “Viatris Agreement”) for the development and commercialization of revefenacin, including YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution. The Company entered into the collaboration to expand the breadth of its revefenacin development program and extend its commercial reach beyond the acute care setting. In November 2018, YUPELRI was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”).

In the US, Viatris is leading the commercialization of YUPELRI, and the Company co-promotes the product under a profit and loss sharing arrangement (65% to Viatris;35% to the Company). Outside the US (excluding China and adjacent territories), Viatris is responsible for development and commercialization and will pay the Company a tiered royalty on net sales at percentage royalty rates ranging from low double-digits to mid-teens. Viatris also holds exclusive development and commercialization rights to nebulized revefenacin in China and adjacent territories, which include the Hong Kong SAR, the Macau SAR, and Taiwan, and the Company is eligible to receive low double-digit tiered royalties on net sales of nebulized revefenacin in this region, if approved. Viatris is responsible for all aspects of development and commercialization in the China and adjacent territories, including pre- and post-launch activities and

product registration and all associated costs. Viatris is the principal in the sales transactions, and as a result, the Company does not reflect the product sales in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company is eligible to receive from Viatris potential global development, regulatory and sales milestone payments (excluding China and adjacent territories) up to $205.0 million in the aggregate, with $160.0 million associated with YUPELRI monotherapy and $45.0 million associated with future potential combination products. Of the $160.0 million associated with monotherapy, $150.0 million relates to sales milestones based on achieving certain levels of US net sales and $10.0 million relates to regulatory actions in the European Union (“EU”). The Company is also eligible to receive additional potential development and sales milestones up to$52.5 million related to Viatris’ development and commercialization of nebulized revefenacin in China and adjacent territories with$45.0 million associated with YUPELRI monotherapy and$7.5 million associated with future potential combination products. Of the$45.0 million associated with monotherapy,$37.5 million relates to sales milestones based on achieving certain levels of net sales and$7.5 million relates to regulatory approval in China.

The Viatris Agreement is considered to be within the scope of ASC 808,Collaborative Arrangements, as the parties are active participants and exposed to the risks and rewards of the collaborative activity with a unit of account provided to Viatris as a customer. Under the terms of the Viatris Agreement, which included the delivery by the Company of a license to Viatris to develop and commercialize revefenacin, Viatris was responsible for reimbursement of the Company’s costs related to the registrational program up until the approval of the first new drug application in November 2018; thereafter, R&D expenses are shared. Performing R&D services for reimbursement is considered a collaborative activity under the scope of ASC 808. Reimbursable program costs are recognized proportionately with the performance of the underlying services and accounted for as reductions to R&D expense. For this unit of account, the Company did not recognize revenue or analogize to ASC 606,Revenue Recognition, and, as such, the reimbursable program costs are excluded from the original transaction price.

The future potential milestone amounts for the Viatris Agreement were not included in the original transaction price, as they were all determined to be fully constrained following the concepts of ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of the development and regulatory milestones constraint, the Company determined that the achievement of such milestones is contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals which are not within its control and uncertain at this stage. The Company expects that the sales-based milestone payments and royalty arrangements will be recognized when the sales occur or the milestone is achieved.

Following the FDA approval of YUPELRI in November 2018, net amounts payable to or receivable from Viatris each quarter under the profit-sharing structure are disaggregated according to their individual components. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, amounts receivable from Viatris in connection with the commercialization of YUPELRI are recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations as revenue from “Viatris collaboration agreement” irrespective of whether the overall collaboration is profitable. Amounts payable to Viatris, if any, in connection with the commercialization of YUPELRI are recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a collaboration loss within selling, general and administrative expenses. Any reimbursement from Viatris attributed to the 65% cost-sharing of the Company’s R&D expenses is characterized as a reduction of R&D expense, as the Company does not consider performing research and development services for reimbursement to be a part of its ordinary activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, YUPELRI continued to be profitable for the Company.

The following YUPELRI-related amounts were recognized within revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)​2024​2023
Viatris collaboration agreement – Amounts receivable from Viatris​$14,503​$10,411

While Viatris records total YUPELRI net sales within its own consolidated financial statements, Viatris collaboration agreement revenue on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations included the Company’s implied 35% share of total YUPELRI net sales, before deducting shared expenses, as presented below:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​

(In thousands) · 2024 · 2023
YUPELRI net sales (Theravance Biopharma implied 35%)​$19,329​$16,434

Reimbursement of R&D Expenses

As noted above, under certain collaborative arrangements the Company is entitled to reimbursement of certain R&D expenses. Activities under collaborative arrangements for which the Company is entitled to reimbursement are considered to be collaborative activities under the scope of ASC 808. For these units of account, the Company does not analogize to ASC 606 or recognize revenue. The Company records reimbursement payments received from its

collaboration partners as reductions to R&D expense.

The following table summarizes the reductions to R&D expenses related to reimbursement payments:

4. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the current period and comparable prior year period condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

​​​​​​​
​ · ​ · March 31,
(In thousands) · ​ · 2024 · ​ · 2023
Cash and cash equivalents​$53,835​$187,665
Restricted cash​​836​​836
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows​$54,671​$188,501

The Company maintains restricted cash for certain lease agreements and letters of credit by which the Company has pledged cash and cash equivalents as collateral. The cash-related amounts reported in the table above exclude the Company’s investments in short and long-term marketable securities that are reported separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The decrease in cash, and cash equivalents, and restricted cash compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the Company’s open market share repurchase program that commenced in December 2022 and was completed in January 2024 (see*“Note 7. Completion of Capital Return Program”* for more information).

The Company periodically engages in foreign exchange transactions as a part of its operations. The Company recognized net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) of ($0.1) million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations within “Interest income and other income (expense), net”.

5. Investments and Fair Value Measurements

Available-for-Sale Securities

The estimated fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices for these or similar investments obtained from a commercial pricing service. The fair market value of marketable securities classified within Level 1 is based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. The fair value of marketable securities classified within Level 2 is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical

or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Observable inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications.

The Company invests primarily inhigh credit quality and short-term maturity debt securities with the intent to hold such securities until maturity at par value. The Company does not intend to sell the investments that are currently in an unrealized loss position, and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. The Company reviewed its available-for-sale debt securities and determined that there wereno credit-related losses to be recognized as of March 31, 2024, and there were no individual securities that were in a significant unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not sell any marketable securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold marketable securities for total proceeds of $62.9 million and recognized a net realized gain from the sale of $0.2 million based on the specific identification method.

Contingent Consideration Asset

The Company recognizes a contingent consideration asset related to its sale of its equity interests in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (“TRC”) to Royalty Pharma Investments 2019 ICAV, an Irish collective asset-management vehicle (“Royalty Pharma”), in July 2022. The contingent consideration asset represents the fair value of potential future milestone payments and royalties (collectively, “Contingent Consideration”) related to worldwide net sales of GSK plc's (“GSK”) TRELEGY® ELLIPTA (“TRELEGY”). The Contingent Consideration was initially measured at fair value utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the present value of the risk-adjusted cash flows estimated to be received from the Contingent Consideration. The discount rate utilized in the valuation model was 7.83%.

The fair value model involved significant unobservable inputs derived using management’s estimates. Management’s estimates were based in part on external data and reflected management’s judgements and forecasts. The primary significant unobservable input was the estimate of forecasted TRELEGY net sales which is considered a Level 3 fair value input. The Company reassesses the carrying value of the Contingent Consideration when indicators of impairment are identified and will recognize any increases in the carrying value of the asset when such contingent gains are realized. As of March 31, 2024, the Contingent Consideration had a carrying value of $194.2 million and is presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as future contingent milestone and royalty assets. There have been no changes to the carrying value of the Contingent Consideration since its initial measurement date in July 2022.

The Contingent Consideration is subject to counterparty credit risk, and the carrying value of the Contingent Consideration represents the maximum amount of potential loss due to credit risk. To date, the Company has not recorded any credit losses related to the Contingent Consideration.

Ampreloxetine Funding

The Company recognizes a contingent liability related to funding received from Royalty Pharma in exchange for certain future royalty rights to ampreloxetine. The contingent liability consists of an upfront $25.0 million received in July 2022 and management’s estimate of (i) a risk-adjusted future contingent $15.0 million milestone; and (ii) the amount and timing of royalties to be paid to Royalty Pharma and then discounted over the life of the arrangement using an imputed rate of interest. The excess of future estimated royalty payments over the amount of cash funding received is recognized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The balance associated with the contingent liability was initially recorded as $25.0 million, net of allocated transaction costs, in July 2022 and is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as future royalty payment contingency.

The Company periodically reassesses the amount and timing of estimated royalty payments. To the extent such payments are materially greater or less than the Company’s previous estimates, the Company will prospectively adjust the amortization of the contingent liability and the effective interest rate. The imputed effective rate of interest on the unamortized portion of the contingent liability was approximately 8.8% as of March 31, 2024.

There are a number of factors that could materially affect the amount and timing of the contingent $15.0 million milestone and royalty payments, some of which are not within the Company’s control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the projected market size, the introduction of competing products, patent protection matters, and regulatory product approval for ampreloxetine. The contingent liability was recognized using significant unobservable inputs. These inputs were derived using internal management estimates and reflect management’s judgements and forecasts. The significant unobservable inputs include the forecasted revenues, the probability and timing of the regulatory milestone, and the expected term of the royalty stream, as well as the overall probability of ampreloxetine’s success. These estimates are considered Level 3 fair value inputs. A significant change in unobservable inputs could result in a material increase or decrease to the effective interest rate of the contingent liability. If ampreloxetine regulatory approval is not achieved or if ampreloxetine sales are never recognized, the contingent liability recognized would be extinguished as the Company would not be obligated to repay any of the funding amounts received from Royalty Pharma.

Changes to the contingent liability were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​

Balance at December 31, 2023​$27,788

Balance at March 31, 2024​$28,417

6. Subleases

In March 2024, the Company entered into a non-cancelable agreement under which it subleased approximately 8,000 square feet of its South San Francisco office space to an unaffiliated company. The sublease term is for approximatelytwo years expiring in April 2026, and the subtenant hasno option to extend the sublease. Under the terms of the sublease, the Company is entitled to receive an initial monthly base rent of $38,000 with a 3% increase after the first year. The Company will recognize approximately $0.9 million in total sublease income on a straight-line basis over thetwo-year sublease term. Sublease income is recognized as a reduction to the Company’s facilities expense which is then allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses and R&D expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has subleased approximately 107,000 square feet of a total 162,000 square feet of South San Francisco office and laboratory space under three separate subleases with unaffiliated companies. The Company’s sublease income from allthree subleases is summarized below:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands) · 2024 · 2023
Sublease income​$2,090​$2,090

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has approximately 31,000 square feet of remaining vacant office and laboratory space in South San Francisco on the market for sublease. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived asset groups, which includes right-of-use assets, for impairment when indicators exist that the carrying amounts of the asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group are less than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

The Company determined that its vacant office and laboratory space currently marketed for sublease was an indicator of impairment. Based on the Company’s impairment assessment as of March 31, 2024, the Company determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of its identified asset groups exceeded the carrying value of such asset groups, and as a result, the Company did not recognize an impairment charge for the three months ended

March 31, 2024. The Company will continue to update its long-lived asset impairment assessment each quarterly period, and the Company may record a non-cash impairment charge in future periods as its estimates change.

7. Completion of Capital Return Program

In January 2024, the Company repurchased an additional 38,462 of its shares on the open market at a weighted average cost of $11.551 per share for an approximate aggregate cost of $0.4 million, excluding fees and expenses, to complete its capital return program. Since the initiation of the capital return program in September 2022 through January 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 31.412 million of its shares at a weighted average price of $10.3544 per share for an approximate aggregate cost of $325.3 million, excluding fees and expenses.

8. Restructuring and Related Expenses

In February 2023, the Company announced strategic actions (the*“2023 Strategic Actions”*) that included the discontinuation of its research activities, resulting in a 17% reduction in headcount in March 2023. As a result of the Company’s discontinued investment in research activities, the Company incurred restructuring and related expenses of$1.6 million primarily related to R&D expenses. Of the total $1.6 million, cash-related expenses were $1.2 million and non-cash expenses were $0.4 million which were primarily related to the modification of equity-based awards for employees affected by the reduction in headcount.

9. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $1.3 million. Although the Company incurred net operating losses on a consolidated basis, the income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to interest expense on uncertain tax positions taken in previous years.

No provision for income taxes has been recognized on undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries because it considers such earnings to be indefinitely reinvested.

The Company follows the accounting guidance related to accounting for income taxes which requires that a company reduce its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2024, the Company does not believe that a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets is needed for US federal tax purposes as it is more like than not able to fully utilize such attributes. As of March 31, 2024, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance in other jurisdictions, predominantly in Ireland.

The Company records liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with the income tax guidance which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Resolution of one or more of these uncertain tax positions in any period may have a material impact on the results of operations for that period. The Company includes any applicable interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The Company’s future income tax expense may be affected by such factors as changes in tax laws, regulations, its business, tax rates, interpretation of existing laws or regulations, the impact of accounting for share-based compensation, the impact of accounting for business combinations and other transactions, its international organization, shifts in the amount of income before tax earned in the US as compared with other regions in the world, and changes in overall levels of income before tax.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal claims and regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. The Company assesses it potential liability in such situations by analyzing the possible outcomes of various litigation, regulatory, and settlement strategies. If the Company determines that a material loss is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated, it will accrue an

amount equal to the estimated loss. As of March 31, 2024, the Company did not accrue any estimated losses related to its ongoing legal proceedings.

Litigation – Patent Infringement

During January 2023, the Company received notice from Accord Healthcare, Inc.; Cipla USA, Inc. and Cipla Limited; Eugia Pharma Specialties Ltd.; Lupin Inc.; Mankind Pharma Ltd.; Orbicular Pharmaceutical Technologies Private Limited; and Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, the “generic companies”), that they have each filed with FDA an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), for a generic version of YUPELRI. The notices from the generic companies each included a paragraph IV certification with respect tofive of the Company’s patents listed in FDA’s Orange Book for YUPELRI on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice. The asserted patents relate generally to polymorphic forms of and a method of treatment using YUPELRI. In February 2023, the Company filed patent infringement suits against the generic companies in federal district court, including the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The suits in Delaware and North Carolina have been dismissed, as all generic companies have agreed to venue in New Jersey. The complaint alleges that by filing the ANDAs, the generic companies have infringed five of the Company’s Orange Book listed patents. The Company is seeking a permanent injunction to prevent the generic companies from introducing a generic version of YUPELRI that would infringe its patents. As a result of this lawsuit, a stay of approval through May 2026 has been imposed by the FDA on the generic companies’ ANDAs pending any adverse court decision. Additional patents covering YUPELRI granted on July 4, 2023 and January 2, 2024 were subsequently listed in FDA’s Orange Book. The Company filed additional patent infringement suits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey during August 2023 and January 2024. These suits have been consolidated with the above action. Further, the original complaint was amended during December 2023 to include certain patents not listed in the Orange Book.

As of May 14, 2024, the Company has settled all litigation with Accord Healthcare, Inc.; Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Orbicular Pharmaceutical Technologies Private Limited; and Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. pursuant to individual agreements in which the Company granted these companies a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to manufacture and market their respective generic versions of YUPELRI inhalation solution in the US on or after the licensed launch date of April 23, 2039, subject to certain exceptions as is customary in these type of agreements. As required by law, the settlements are subject to review by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. The patent litigation against thethree remaining generic companies, along with certain affiliates, remains pending.
