Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of significant accounting policies | Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation and consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emergent and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC. All adjustments contained in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for an entire year. Going concern As of March 31, 2023, there is $598.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below) and $354.4 million on the Term Loan Facility (defined below) that matures in October 2023, which is within one year of the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. This evaluation considered the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented. Management may evaluate the mitigating effect of its plans to determine if it is probable that (1) the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and (2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plan to alleviate the substantial doubt includes amending its existing Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility that are due October 2023. While the Company is in the process of and expects to replace the current credit facility before it matures, management cannot make the assumption that it is probable that the Company will be able to obtain such debt refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all until the new credit facility is in place. The Company is currently working with its lenders and expects to refinance the credit facility with revised terms and conditions. The extent to which the Company will be able to affect such refinancing, replacement or maturity extension on terms that are favorable or at all is dependent on a number of uncertain factors, including then-prevailing credit and other market conditions, economic conditions, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, disruptions or volatility caused by factors such as COVID-19, regional conflicts, inflation, and supply chain disruptions. In addition, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance our existing credit facility when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. As the replacement of the Company’s current debt facility is conditional upon the execution of agreements with new or existing third parties, which are considered outside of the Company’s control, until such time as they are completed, the refinancing cannot be considered to be probable to occur as of the date of this report. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Pre-launch inventory Within our Products segment, costs relating to raw materials and production of inventory in preparation for product launch prior to regulatory approval are capitalized when the review process has progressed to a point where objective and persuasive evidence exists that regulatory approval is probable, the future economic benefit is expected to be realized, and we believe that material uncertainties related to the ultimate regulatory approval have been significantly reduced. Pre-launch inventory is recorded to research and development expense unless these criteria are met. For pre-launch inventory that is capitalized, we consider a number of specific facts and circumstances, including the product candidate’s current status in the drug development and regulatory approval process, results from related clinical trials, results from meetings with relevant regulatory agencies prior to the filing of regulatory applications, potential obstacles to the approval process, historical experience, viability of commercialization and market trends. This policy is not applicable to pre-launch inventory purchased to satisfy a performance obligation related to a CDMO contract as CDMO pre-launch inventory may be capitalized if it has future economic benefit based on the terms of the contract. Significant accounting policies With the exception of the policy on pre-launch inventory discussed above, there have been no significant changes to the Company's summary of significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC that have materially impacted the presentation of the Company's financial statements. Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value include:
Level 1 — | Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 — | Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 — | Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, which are therefore developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions that reflect those that a market participant would use.
On a recurring basis, the Company measures and records money market funds (Level 1), interest-rate swap arrangements and time deposits (Level 2) and contingent purchase consideration (Level 3) using fair value measurements in the accompanying financial statements. The carrying amounts of the Company's short-term financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term variable interest rate debt arrangements (Level 2) approximate their fair values. New accounting standards From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that the Company adopts as of the pronouncement's specified effective date. There were no new accounting pronouncements that were issued or became effective since the issuance of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
