Xeris Biopharma Holdings Inc

Note 1. Organization and nature of the business

Nature of business

Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. ("Xeris Biopharma" or the "Company") is a growth-oriented biopharmaceutical company committed to improving patients' lives by developing and commercializing clinically meaningful products across a range of therapies. The Company currently hasthree commercially available products: Gvoke, a ready-to-use, liquid-stable glucagon for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia; Recorlev, a cortisol synthesis inhibitor for the treatment of endogenous hypercortisolemia in adult patients with Cushing's syndrome approved by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in December 2021; and Keveyis, the first therapy approved in the United States to treat hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and related variants of Primary Periodic Paralysis ("PPP"). The Company also has a pipeline of development programs to bring new products forward using its proprietary formulation science, XeriSol and XeriJect.

As used herein, the "Company" or "Xeris" refers to Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Xeris Pharma") when referring to periods prior to the acquisition of Strongbridge Biopharma plc ("Strongbridge") on October 5, 2021 and to Xeris Biopharma when referring to periods on or subsequent to October 5, 2021.

Throughout this document, unless otherwise noted, references to Gvoke include Gvoke PFS, Gvoke HypoPen, Gvoke Kit and Ogluo (glucagon).

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other specialty pharmaceutical companies, including, but not limited to, successful commercialization and market acceptance of available products and any future products, if and when approved, successful development of product candidates, the development of new technological innovations by competitors, ability to acquire additional capital when needed and on acceptable terms, and protection of intellectual property. The Company relies on a number of single source suppliers and manufacturers for the supply of its products and product candidates. Disruptions from these suppliers or manufacturers, which has occurred in the past and could occur in the future, could have a negative impact on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations. In addition, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of political and macroeconomic events and conditions.

Liquidity and capital resources

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $666.7 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for at least the next 12 months beyond the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on the Company's current operating plans and existing working capital at September 30, 2024, the Company believes that its cash resources are sufficient to sustain operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

If needed, the Company may elect to finance its operations through equity or debt financing along with revenues. There can be no assurance that such funding may be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all, or that the Company will be able to successfully market and sell Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis. Market volatility resulting from geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas and the potential for wider conflict in the Middle East, elevated and fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures, the tightening of lending standards, any further deterioration in the macroeconomic economy or financial services industry resulting from actual or potential bank failures, uncertainty around the U.S. election or other factors could also adversely impact the Company's ability to access capital as and when needed. The issuance of equity securities may result in dilution to stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of additional debt, which may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company's common stockholders, the terms of the debt could impose significant restrictions on the Company's operations. The failure to raise funds as and when needed could have a negative impact on the Company's financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. If additional funding is not secured when required, the Company may need to delay or curtail its operations until such funding is received, which would have a material adverse impact on the business prospects and results of operations.

Note 2. Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies and estimates

Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), including those for interim financial information, and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2024.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, have been condensed or omitted.

Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

Some items in the prior year financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassification had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.

Basis of consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions 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 included in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition, to all contracts with customers within the scope of the standard.

The Company sells product primarily to wholesalers or a specialty pharmacy that subsequently resell to retail pharmacies or patients. The Company enters into arrangements with payors, group purchasing organizations, and healthcare providers that provide for government-mandated or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts related to the Company's products. The Company currently sells Gvoke, Recorlev and Keveyis in the United States only.

Revenue is recognized when the Company's customer (e.g., a wholesaler or specialty pharmacy) obtains control of promised goods or services, which is when the Company's obligations under the terms of the contract with the customer are satisfied, based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenues are recorded at the net product sales price, which includes estimated allowances for patient copay assistance programs, prompt payment discounts, payor rebates, chargebacks, service fees, and product returns, all of which are recorded at the time of sale to the pharmaceutical wholesaler or other customer. The Company applies significant judgments and estimates in determining some of these allowances. If actual results differ from its estimates, adjustments are made to these allowances in the period in which the actual results or updates to estimates become known.

Such revenue is reported as product revenue, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Additionally, the Company earns revenue from research collaborations for the use of Xeris' proprietary formulation technology platforms and royalties from branded products. Such revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with contract terms when it can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. This revenue is reported as royalty, contract and other revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Concentration of credit risk

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, four customers accounted for 95% and 96% of the Company's gross product revenue, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, four customers accounted for 98% and 97% of the Company's gross product revenue, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the same four customers accounted for 98% and 99% of the trade accounts receivable, net, respectively.

New accounting pronouncements

Adopted accounting standard

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard amends various SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to primarily reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120 provides guidance to companies issuing share-based awards shortly before announcing material, nonpublic information to consider such material nonpublic information to adjust observable market prices if the release of material nonpublic information is expected to affect the share price.

The standard does not provide any new guidance so there is no transition or effective date associated with it and therefore, the Company adopted this standard with no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This standard eliminates certain accounting models to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments, expands the disclosure requirements related to the terms and features of convertible instruments, and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts settled in an entity's own equity. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock will be reported as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This standard enhances the consistency of earnings-per-share ("EPS") calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted EPS calculations and disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2024. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows since the Company did not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt but accounted for the convertible debt instrument wholly as debt.

Pending accounting standards

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements. This standard amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in this standard are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. The standard is effective January 1, 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard expands the requirements for income tax disclosures in order to provide greater transparency. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Segment Reporting Disclosures. This standard requires an entity to provide more detailed information about its reportable segment expenses that are included within management's measurement of profit and loss and will require certain annual disclosures to be provided on an interim basis. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in 2025 for annual reporting and in 2026 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted beginning in 2024, and is required to be applied using the full retrospective method of transition. The Company is evaluating the timing and effects of the adoption of this standard on the Company's segment disclosures.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This Standard modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification to align with the SEC's regulations. The ASU also makes those requirements applicable to entities that were not previously subject to the SEC's requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company two years after the effective date to remove the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K. As of the date these financial statements have been made available for issuance, the SEC has not yet removed any related disclosure. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard provides optional expedients for the application of GAAP, if certain criteria are met, to contracts and other transactions that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This standard is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. On December 21, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period of time entities can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASU 2020-04 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Note 4. Short-term investments

The Company classifies investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. Debt securities are comprised of liquid investments that are highly rated securities and, as of September 30, 2024, consist of U.S. government securities, all with remaining maturities of less than one year. Debt securities as of September 30, 2024 had an average remaining maturity of 0.1 years. The debt securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cost of short-term investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts to maturity, and such amortization or accretion, as well as interest income, are included in interest and other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to "Note 11 - Fair value measurements," for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized.

The following table represents the Company's short-term investments by major security type (in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Losses

For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether they are intended to be sold, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the above criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the severity of the impairment, any changes in interest rates, market conditions, changes to the underlying credit ratings and forecasted recovery, among other factors. The credit-related portion of unrealized losses, and any subsequent improvements, are recorded in interest income through an allowance account. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is included in other comprehensive loss on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No credit loss allowance was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 5. Inventory

The components of inventory consist of the following (in thousands):

Inventory reserves were $7.2 million and $2.4 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 6. Property and equipment

Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization expense relating to property and equipment was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Convertible senior notes

In June 2020, Xeris Pharma completed a public offering of $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of Xeris Pharma's 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Convertible Notes"), including $11.3 million pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional notes, which was exercised in full in July 2020. Since January 15, 2021, the 2025 Convertible Notes bear cash interest at the rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

Xeris Pharma incurred debt issuance costs of $5.1 million in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes. At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders of 2025 Convertible Notes may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at their option into shares of the Company's common stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional share, at a conversion rate of 326.7974 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes. In the second half of 2020, $39.1 million in principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes were converted into 13,171,791 shares of Xeris Pharma's common stock.

On September 29, 2023, the Company completed the exchange of $32.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes for $33.6 million in aggregate principal amount of new 8.00% Convertible Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Convertible Notes" and together with the 2025 Convertible Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2025 Convertible Notes was $15.2 million and the outstanding balance of the 2028 Convertible Notes was $33.6 million.

The 2025 Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of a base indenture for senior debt securities dated June 30, 2020 (the "2025 Base Indenture"), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated June 30, 2020 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), and the second supplemental indenture dated October 5, 2021 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture" and together with the 2025 Base Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture, the "2025 Indenture"), among the Company, as guarantor, Xeris Pharma, as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (f/k/a U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 2028 Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture for senior debt securities dated September 29, 2023 (the "2028 Indenture" and together with the 2025 Indenture, the "Indentures") among the Company, as issuer, Xeris Pharma, as guarantor, and the Trustee. The 2025 Convertible Notes and the 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on July 15, 2025 and July 15, 2028, respectively, unless earlier converted or redeemed or repurchased.

The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and are equal in right of payment with the issuer's existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to its future indebtedness, if any, that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Notes, and effectively subordinated to its existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company or Xeris Pharma is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries other than Xeris Pharma.

As a result of the transactions associated with the acquisition of Strongbridge, and pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture, the 2025 Convertible Notes are no longer convertible into shares of common stock of Xeris Pharma. Instead, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2025 Indenture, the 2025 Convertible Notes will be exchangeable into cash and shares of common stock of the Company in proportion to the transaction consideration payable pursuant to the transaction agreement for the acquisition of Strongbridge, and the "Reference Property" provisions in the 2025 Indenture.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes is determined using current interest rates based on credit ratings and the remaining term of maturity. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $61.1 million. The fair value of the convertible debt was estimated using inputs for volatility, the Company's stock price, time to maturity, the risk-free rate and the Company's credit spread, some of which are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy disclosed in "Note 11 - Fair value measurement."

Loan agreement

In September 2019, Xeris Pharma entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Oxford Loan Agreement") with Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford"), as the collateral agent and a lender, and Silicon Valley Bank, as a lender ("SVB," and together with Oxford, the "Prior Lenders"). The Oxford Loan Agreement provided for the Prior Lenders to extend up to $85.0 million in term loans to Xeris Pharma inthree tranches, of which $60.0 million was drawn down in September 2019.

In June 2020, Xeris Pharma paid a portion of the term loan equal to the sum of $20.0 million, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. In November 2020, an additional $3.5 million was drawn from the term loan.

In March 2022, the Company, Xeris Pharma and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (as amended, modified or amended and restated from time to time, the "Hayfin Loan Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Hayfin Loan Agreement provided for the Lenders to extend $100.0 million in term loans to the Company on the closing date and up to an additional $50.0 million in delayed draw term loans during the one year period immediately following the closing date (collectively, the "Loans"). On December 28, 2022, the Company borrowed the full amount of such $50.0 million delayed draw term loan under the Hayfin Loan Agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the Hayfin Loan Agreement, the Oxford Loan Agreement remaining balance of $43.5 million and fees of $2.1 million in connection with the loan repayment were paid. In addition to utilizing the proceeds to repay the obligations under the Oxford Loan Agreement in full, the proceeds were otherwise used for general corporate purposes.

On March 5, 2024, the Company, Xeris Pharma and certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the "New Lenders") and Hayfin Services LLP, as administrative agent for the New Lenders, pursuant to which the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto granted a first priority security interest on substantially all of their assets, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Hayfin Loan Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for the New Lenders to extend $200.0 million in term loans (the "Tranche 1 Loans") to Xeris Pharma on the closing date and $15.2 million in additional term loans (the "Tranche 2 Loans" and, together with the Tranche 1 Loans, the "2029 Loans") on any date after the closing date and through July 15, 2025. The Tranche 2 Loans may only be used to redeem the 2025 Convertible Notes. In conjunction with the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the aggregate principal balance of $150.0 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Hayfin Loan Agreement was continued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as Tranche 1 Loans. In addition to utilizing the proceeds to repay the obligations under the Hayfin Loan Agreement in full, the proceeds of the Tranche 1 Loans will otherwise be used for general corporate purposes. After repayment, the 2029 Loans may not be re-borrowed.

The 2029 Loans will mature on March 5, 2029; provided, however, that the 2029 Loans will mature on (A) January 15, 2025 if the 2025 Convertible Notes are outstanding as of such date or (B) January 15, 2028 if the 2028 Convertible Notes are outstanding as of such date and, in both cases, either (i) the maturity date of the applicable notes has not been extended to a date not earlier than September 5, 2029 and (ii) the Company has not received net cash proceeds from one or more permitted equity raises or permitted raises of convertible debt which, together with no more than $15.6 million of cash on hand, is sufficient to redeem and discharge the 2025 Convertible Notes or the 2028 Convertible Notes, as applicable, in full.

The 2029 Loans incur interest at a floating per annum rate in an amount equal to the sum of (i)6.95% (or 5.95% if the replacement rate is in effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a three month tenor (or the replacement rate, if applicable), and (y)2.00% per annum. The remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs have been reflected as a direct reduction to the loan balance. The effective interest rate of the 2029 Loans, including the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, amounts to approximately 11.4%. The debt outstanding under the 2029 Loans approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate on the debt.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows Xeris Pharma to voluntarily prepay the outstanding amounts thereunder. Xeris Pharma is subject to an early prepayment fee equal to (i) for any prepayment that occurs on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date, the applicable make-whole amount, (ii) for any prepayment that occurs after the second anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date, the product of (x) the amount of any principal so prepaid, multiplied by (y) for any prepayment that occurs (A) after the second anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the closing date, five percent (5.00%), (B) after the third anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing date, three percent (3.00%), and (C) after the fourth anniversary of the closing date, zero percent (0.00%).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that limit or restrict the Company's (and its subsidiaries) ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity, make investments, dispose of assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was accounted for as a modification of debt in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments, thus there was no gain or loss recognized on the transaction.

The following table sets forth the Company's future minimum principal payments on the Convertible Notes and the loan facility (in thousands):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized interest expense of $7.8 million and $22.8 million, respectively, of which $0.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized interest expense of $6.8 million and $19.6 million, respectively, of which $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, respectively. Debt refinancing costs related to advisory and legal fees of $2.7 million were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Note 10. Warrants

As of September 30, 2024, the following warrants were outstanding:

Note 11. Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1: Measured using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Fair value measurements are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The determination of the fair values stated below considers the market for the financial assets and liabilities, the associated credit risk and other factors as required. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

The following tables present the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Contingent Value Rights

As part of the 2021 acquisition of Strongbridge, the Company issued contingent value rights ("CVRs") representing additional contingent consideration of up to $1.00 for each CVR upon the achievement of the following:

•Keveyis Milestone: $0.25 per CVR, upon the earlier of the first listing of any patent in the FDA's Orange Book for Keveyis by the end of 2023 or the first achievement of at least $40 million in net revenue of Keveyis in 2023;

•2023 Recorlev Milestone: $0.25 per CVR, upon the first achievement of at least $40 million in net revenue of Recorlev in 2023; and

•2024 Recorlev Milestone: $0.50 per CVR, upon the first achievement of at least $80 million in net revenue of Recorlev in 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, there were approximately 74.4 million CVRs outstanding. Up to 8.1 million CVRs may be issued to holders of Strongbridge rollover options and assumed warrants upon the exercise thereof. CVRs are settleable in cash, common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company's sole election.

Contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values and these obligations are revalued at each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved. The CVRs are adjusted to fair value using the methods described above at the end of each reporting period. Significant changes which increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the related milestones or shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such events would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair values of these obligations.

The 2023 Keveyis milestone was achieved, triggering a milestone payment to CVR holders. In settlement of the milestone payment obligation, the Company issued 7,525,048 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2024. The 2023 Recorlev Milestone was not achieved. A gain of $3.0 million from the remeasurement of the CVR liability was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a result of changes in the Company's stock price prior to the issuance of the common stock in settlement of the CVR.

The Company has determined that the CVR liabilities' fair values are Level 3 items within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the change in the CVR liabilities (in thousands):

Note 12. Stock compensation plan

In 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Stock Option Issuance Plan (the "2011 Plan") and subsequently amended it to authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 4,714,982 incentive stock option and non-qualified stock option awards.

The 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2018 and approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2018 to award up to 1,822,000 shares of common stock. The 2018 Plan replaced the 2011 Plan as the Board of Directors decided not to make additional awards under the 2011 Plan following the closing of the IPO, which occurred in June 2018. The 2018 Plan allows the compensation committee to make equity-based and cash-based incentive awards to the Company's officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants). No grants of stock options or other awards may be made under the 2018 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 2.1 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan.

The 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") was adopted by the Board of Directors in April 2018 and approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2018 to issue up to 193,000 shares of common stock to participating employees. Through the ESPP, eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15% of their compensation to purchase up to the number of shares of common stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the closing market price of Xeris common stock on the offering date. The purchase price per share at each purchase date is equal to 85% of the lower of (i) the closing market price per share of Xeris common stock on the employee's offering date or (ii) the closing market price per share of Xeris common stock on the purchase date. Each offering period has a six-month duration and purchase interval. As of September 30, 2024, there were 6.7 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

The Equity Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors in February 2019. The Inducement Plan allows the Company to make stock option or restricted stock unit awards to prospective employees of the Company as an inducement to such individuals to commence employment with the Company. The Company uses this Inducement Plan to help it attract and retain prospective employees who are necessary to support the commercialization of products and the expansion of the Company generally. As of September 30, 2024, there were 1.4 million shares of common stock available for future issuance under the Inducement Plan.

Assumed Plans

On the acquisition date of Strongbridge, the Company assumed all then-outstanding stock options and shares available and reserved for issuance under some legacy equity incentive plans of Strongbridge, including the Strongbridge 2015 equity compensation plan and Strongbridge 2017 inducement plan (collectively, the "Assumed Plans"). Shares reserved under the Assumed Plans will be available for future grants. The Company also assumed all then-outstanding stock options from the rest of the legacy equity incentive plans of Strongbridge without assuming the shares available and reserved for issuance under these plans. The number of shares subject to stock options outstanding under all Strongbridge legacy equity incentive plans are included in the tables below. As of September 30, 2024, there were 0.3 million shares reserved for future grants under the Assumed Plans.

Stock options

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Stock option awards typically vest over eithertwo, three orfour years after the grant date and expire seven toten years from the grant date.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods during the contractual life of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected stock price volatility assumption is based on the historical volatilities of a peer group of publicly traded companies as well as the historical volatility of the Company's common stock, since the Company began trading subsequent to the IPO in June 2018, over the period corresponding to the expected life as of the grant date. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of the Company's ordinary shares as of the grant date.

Stock option activity under the 2011 Plan, 2018 Plan, Inducement Plan and Assumed Plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

At September 30, 2024, there was a total of $0.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") to employees. RSUs that are granted vest over either three orfour years in equal annual installments beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the employee is employed by the Company on such vesting date. If and when the RSUs vest, the Company will issue one share of common stock for each whole RSU that has vested, subject to satisfaction of the employee's tax withholding obligations. Upon vesting and settlement of RSUs or exercise of stock options, at the election of the grantee, the Company does not collect withholding taxes in cash from employees. Instead, the Company withholds upon settlement as RSUs vest, or as stock options are exercised, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory withholding taxes due. The withheld shares are accounted for as repurchases of common stock. Stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period.

A summary of outstanding RSU awards and the activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

As of September 30, 2024, there was $20.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.8 years.

The following table summarizes the reporting of total stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options, RSUs and the ESPP (in thousands):

Note 13. Leases

The Company has non-cancellable operating leases for office and laboratory space, which expire at various times in 2031 and 2036. The non-cancellable lease agreements provide for monthly lease payments, which increase during the term of each lease agreement.

All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases, which are included as operating lease right-of-use assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's operating lease costs are included in operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

A majority of the Company's lease agreements include fixed rental payments. Certain lease agreements include fixed rental payments that are adjusted periodically by a fixed rate. The fixed payments, including the effects of changes in the fixed rate or amount, and renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised, are included in the measurement of the related lease liability. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, which includes renewal options reasonably certain to be exercised. The majority of the Company's real estate leases require that the Company pay maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance in addition to rent. These payments are generally variable and based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the right-of-use asset and lease liability but are reflected as variable lease expenses.

As the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company considers observable inputs as of the effective date of the ASC 842 adoption including the credit rating, existing borrowings and other relevant borrowing rates, such as risk-free rates like the United States Treasury rate, and then adjusting as necessary for the appropriate lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is reassessed if there is a change to the lease term or if a modification occurs and it is not accounted for as a separate contract. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's operating leases had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 10.9 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 11.9%.

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company's operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

The Company reports the amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets and the change in operating lease liabilities on a net basis in other in the operating activities of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2024, maturities of lease liabilities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note 14. Commitments and contingencies

Commitments

Commitments to Taro

The Company has a supply agreement with Taro Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. ("Taro") to produce Keveyis. In 2023, the Company amended the agreement to extend the initial term until March 2027. As part of the agreement, as amended, the Company has agreed to certain annual minimum marketing spend requirements and minimum purchase order quantities for each year, which in the case of the minimum purchase order quantities, is based on the previous year's purchases.

Leases

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had unused letters of credit of $4.1 million, which were issued primarily to secure leases. These letters of credit are collateralized by $4.1 million of restricted cash, which is recorded in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2024, management was not aware of any existing, pending or threatened legal actions that would have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Long Term Debt

In the event (i) the 2025 Convertible Notes are still outstanding as of January 15, 2025 or (ii) the 2028 Convertible Notes are still outstanding as of January 15, 2028 and, in each case, the maturity date has not been extended to a date not earlier than September 5, 2029, then unless the Company has received net cash proceeds from one or more permitted equity raises or permitted raises of convertible debt which, together with no more than $15.6 million of cash on hand, is sufficient to redeem and discharge the 2025

Convertible Notes or 2028 Convertible Notes, as applicable, in full, the loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will mature on January 15, 2025 in the case of outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes and January 15, 2028 in the case of outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes. As disclosed in "Note 9 - Long-term debt", the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for the New Lenders to extend $15.2 million Tranche 2 Loans on any date after March 5, 2024 and through July 15, 2025 solely for the purpose of redeeming the 2025 Convertible Notes.

Note 15. Net loss per common share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share are determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or vesting of Convertible Notes, warrants, stock option awards and RSUs have been excluded from the calculation because their effects would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to their anti-dilutive effect:

(1)Total anti-dilutive securities exclude CVRs which are settleable in cash, additional Xeris Biopharma shares, or a combination, at the election of the Company.
