Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash on deposit, cash equivalents, investments, license agreement receivable, and the license agreement contract asset. The Company's money market accounts (recognized as cash and cash equivalents) and investments are with what the Company believes to be high quality issuers. The Company has not experienced any significant losses in such accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers any highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company reported cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $16.6 million and $34.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Investments

The Company's held-to-maturity investments in corporate and agency bonds are carried at amortized cost and any premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted through the maturity date of the investment. Any impairment that is not deemed to be temporary is recognized in the period identified.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company reviews its held-to-maturity investments for credit losses on a collective basis by major security type and in line with the Company's investment policy. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's held-to-maturity investments were in corporate bonds and agency bonds, are highly rated, and the Company does not have a history of credit losses in these investments. The Company reviews the credit quality of its license agreement receivable and license agreement contract asset by monitoring the aging of its accounts receivable, the history of write offs for uncollectible accounts, and the credit quality of its significant customers, the current economic environment/macroeconomic trends, supportable forecasts, and other relevant factors. The Company's license agreement receivable and license agreement contract asset are with a customer that does not have a history of uncollectability nor a history of significantly aged accounts receivables. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize a credit loss allowance for its investments, license agreement receivable, or license agreement contract asset.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of goods and services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company performs the following five steps to recognize revenue under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only recognizes revenue when it is probable that it will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

License Agreement Revenue

The Company has entered into arrangements involving the sale or license of intellectual property and the provision of other services. When entering into any arrangement involving the sale or license of intellectual property rights and other services, the Company determines whether the arrangement is subject to accounting guidance in ASC 606 as well as ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements. If the Company determines that an arrangement includes goods or services that are central to the Company’s business operations for consideration, the Company will then identify the performance obligations in the contract using the unit of account guidance in ASC 606. For a distinct unit of account that is within the scope of ASC 606, the Company applies all of the accounting requirements in ASC 606 to that unit of account, including the recognition,

measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements. For a distinct unit of account that is not within the scope of ASC 606, the Company will recognize and measure the distinct unit of account based on other authoritative ASC topics or on a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied policy election.

Analyzing the license arrangements to identify performance obligations requires the use of judgment. In arrangements that include the sale or license of intellectual property and other promised services, the Company first identifies if the licenses are distinct from the other promises in the arrangement. For the license of intellectual property that is distinct, the Company recognizes revenue from consideration allocated to the license when the license is transferred and the customer is able to benefit from the license. If the license is not distinct, the license is combined with other services into a single performance obligation. Factors that are considered in evaluating whether a license is distinct from other promised services include, for example, whether the counterparty can benefit from the license without the promised service on its own or with other readily available resources and whether the promised service is expected to significantly modify or customize the intellectual property.

At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being reached. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of milestones and any related constraint, and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which will affect revenue in the period of adjustment.

In an arrangement with multiple performance obligations, the Company develops estimates and assumptions that require judgment to determine the underlying standalone selling price for each performance obligation, which determines how the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations. The estimation of the standalone selling price(s) include estimates regarding forecasted cash flows, discount rates, and estimates of costs to be incurred to fulfill its obligations associated with the performance of the research and development activities. The Company evaluates each performance obligation to determine if it can be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Any change made to estimated progress towards completion of a performance obligation and, therefore, license agreement revenue recognized will be recorded as a change in estimate. In addition, variable consideration must be evaluated to determine if it is constrained and, therefore, excluded from the transaction price. The Company constrains variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company will recognize consideration related to sales-based milestone and royalties when the subsequent sales occur pursuant to the royalty exception under ASC 606 because the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or sales-based milestone relate.

Product Revenue, Net

The Company sells BREXAFEMME primarily to wholesalers in the United States and are initially invoiced at contractual list prices. These wholesalers subsequently resell BREXAFEMME to specialty and other retail pharmacies. In addition to agreements with the wholesalers, the Company enters into arrangements with third-party payors that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts for the purchase of BREXAFEMME. The transaction price for product sales is reduced by variable consideration related to certain gross to net (“GTN”) adjustments, including chargebacks, rebates, discounts, incentives, and returns, and the Company will estimate the amount of this variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method.

Specific considerations around the Company’s product revenue GTN adjustments are as follows:

•

Voluntary Patient Assistance Programs – Through vendors, the Company offers copay assistance to provide financial assistance to patients for the portion of their prescription cost that is not covered by payors. The reduction in product revenue due to the copay programs is based on an estimate of claims and costs per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with product revenue that has been recognized. This includes potential product revenue that remains in the distribution channel at the end of a reporting period.

•

Trade Discounts and Wholesaler Fees – The Company offers discounts and pays certain distributor service fees. These are recorded as a reduction in product revenue based on distributors’ purchases and the applicable discount rate.

•

Product Stocking Fees – During the initial launch of BREXAFEMME, the Company offered additional fees to wholesalers and certain indirect customers to incent stocking at wholesalers and pharmacies. These were recorded as a reduction in product revenue based on these customer’s purchases during the eligible period and limited to a certain volume.

•

Product Returns – Generally, the Company's customers have the right to return products during the 18-month period beginning six months prior to the labeled expiration date and ending twelve months after the labeled expiration date. Since the Company has a limited history of BREXAFEMME returns, the Company estimated returns based on specific

lot expiration dates and industry data for comparable products in the market. BREXAFEMME has a thirty-month shelf life.

•

Chargebacks – For certain entities, pricing on BREXAFEMME is extended below wholesaler list price. Entities that purchase BREXAFEMME from wholesalers at the lower program price then remit the Company the difference between their acquisition cost and the lower program price, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. Accounts receivable is reduced for the estimated amount of unprocessed chargeback claims attributable to sale.

•

Commercial Rebates – The Company contracts with commercial payors such as insurers and PBMs and offer rebates for utilization and formulary status. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue.

•

Government Rebates – The Company is subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs, Medicare, and other government programs. Provisions for government rebates are based on the estimated amount of rebates and incentives to be claimed on the related sales from the period. These reserves are recorded in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. For Medicare, the Company must also estimate the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom we will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program.

The Company determined that performance obligations are satisfied and product revenue is recognized when a customer takes control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time. This occurs upon delivery of BREXAFEMME to customers, at which point the Company recognizes revenue. Payment is typically received 70 to 90 days after satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to a customer. The transaction price for product sales is reduced by variable consideration related to chargebacks, rebates, discounts, incentives, and returns. The Company will estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price using the expected value method. These estimates take into consideration prescription demand from commercial providers, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns, and historical trends. These provisions reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in net sales only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. Sales commissions and other incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts are expensed as incurred as the amortization periods would be less than one year.

Product Recall

The Company establishes reserves for product recalls on a product-specific basis when circumstances giving rise to the recall become known. The Company estimates product recalls from consumers and customers across distribution channels, utilizing third-party data and other assumptions, and these are recorded as a reduction to revenue on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the Company estimates costs for any additional fees, including but not limited to freight and destruction charges for recalled products and costs incurred by third party vendors. These expenses are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as they are in excess of the initial revenue recognized. These estimates are updated and reevaluated each period and the related reserves are adjusted when these factors indicate that the recall reserves are either insufficient to cover or exceed the estimated product recall expenses. Significant changes in the assumptions used to develop estimates for product recall reserves could affect key financial information, including inventory, accrued liabilities, net sales, gross profit, and net (loss) income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company maintained a products recall reserve of $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, specifically for the voluntary recall of certain lots of BREXAFEMME. The Company reviews the product recall reserve for adequacy and adjusts the product recall accrual, if necessary, based on actual experience and estimated costs to be incurred.

Cost of Product Revenues

The cost of product revenues consists primarily of inventory impairment expense, distribution, freight costs, royalty costs, and other manufacturing costs. In September 2023, the Company announced after becoming aware of a risk of potential cross-contamination during the manufacture of ibrexafungerp, the Company was recalling BREXAFEMME from the market and placing a temporary hold on the clinical studies of ibrexafungerp. In December 2023, the Company and GSK entered into a Binding MOU for amendment to the GSK License Agreement. The GSK License Agreement was being amended in connection with the delay in the commercialization of BREXAFEMME and further clinical development of ibrexafungerp associated with this event.

In evaluating the recoverability of the Company's raw material inventory on hand as of December 31, 2023 given the product recall and Binding MOU, the Company considered the likelihood that revenue will be obtained from the future sale of the related inventory, discussions with regulatory agencies, and other information currently available to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment loss on the recoverability of its raw material inventory of approximately $14.6 million given the Company does not believe the inventory can be sold for commercial or development activities. The $14.6 million impairment expense has been recognized in cost of product revenue in the accompanying statement of operations.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the warrants associated with the December 2020 public offering and April 2022 Public Offering as liabilities measured at fair value. The fair values of these warrants have been determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model ("Black-Scholes"). The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, using Black-Scholes, with any changes in the fair value of the outstanding warrants recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Convertible Debt and Derivative Liabilities

Convertible Debt and Derivative Liability

In connection with the Company’s issuance of its March 2019 6.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “March 2019 Notes”), the Company bifurcated the embedded conversion option, inclusive of the interest make-whole provision and make-whole fundamental change provision, and recorded the embedded conversion option as a derivative liability in the Company’s balance sheet in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The convertible debt and the derivative liability associated with the March 2019 Notes is presented in total on the consolidated balance sheet as the convertible debt and derivative liability. The convertible debt is carried at amortized cost. The derivative liability will be remeasured at each reporting period using the binomial lattice model with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in other expense (income). See Note 6 and 12 for further details.

Research and Development

Major components of research and development costs include clinical trial activities and services, including related drug formulation, manufacturing, and other development, preclinical studies, cash compensation, stock-based compensation, fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf, materials and supplies, certain legal services, and regulatory compliance.

The Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with clinical research organizations, clinical site agreements, vendors, and consultants in connection with conducting ibrexafungerp and SCY-247 clinical trials and preclinical development. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations which vary from contract to contract, and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company under such contracts. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate development and trial expenses in its consolidated financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which the services and efforts are expended. For clinical trials, the Company accounts for these expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by actual hours expended by CRO personnel, investigator performance or completion of specific tasks, patient progression, or timing of various aspects of the trial. For preclinical development services performed by outside service providers, the Company determines accrual estimates through financial models, taking into account development progress data received from outside service providers and discussions with applicable Company and service provider personnel.

Patent Expenses

Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications, as well as costs related to maintaining and defending the Company's existing patent portfolio, are recorded as selling, general, and administrative expense as incurred since recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as 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, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to

their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

•

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

•

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs and Discount

The Company’s convertible debt is recorded net of debt issuance costs and discount which comprised issuance costs and an advisory fee, and the discount initially recognized for the fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability. The portion of the debt issuance costs allocated to the convertible debt, based on the amount of proceeds allocated between the convertible debt and the derivative liability, is being amortized over the term of the convertible debt using the effective interest method in addition to the discount initially recognized for the fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability from the convertible debt. The Company’s loan payable was recorded net of debt discount which comprised issuance costs, customary closing and final fees, and the fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the loan payable. The resulting debt discount was being amortized over the term of the loan payable using the effective interest method until the loan payable was fully repaid in May 2023. The amortization of debt issuance costs and discount is included in other expense within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when the positions will be more likely than not sustained based solely upon the technical merits of the positions.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and non-employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of grant date. The Company values equity instruments and stock options granted to employees and non-employees using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recorded as expense over the requisite service periods. The Company recognize forfeitures as they are incurred.

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share of Common Stock

The Company calculates net (loss) income per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net (loss) income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was determined by dividing net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Per ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding utilized for determining the basic net (loss) income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 includes the outstanding prefunded warrants to purchase 7,516,267 and 3,200,000 shares of common stock issued in the April 2022 Public Offering and December 2020 public offering, respectively. Diluted net (loss) income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was determined as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Years Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
Net (loss) income allocated to common shares	$	(21,288	)	$	67,041

Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic		48,513,073			47,852,833
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units		—			537,749
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted		48,513,073			48,390,582

Net (loss) income per share – diluted	$	(0.44	)	$	1.39

The following potentially dilutive shares of common stock and outstanding restricted stock units that contain certain performance contingencies have not been included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, as the result would be anti-dilutive or the performance contingencies have not been met:


	Years Ended December 31,
	2024		2023
Outstanding stock options		2,905,029		1,867,795
Outstanding restricted stock units		3,120,374		400,000
Warrants to purchase common stock associated with December 2020 public offering - Series 2		—		6,800,000
Warrants to purchase common stock associated with April 2022 Public Offering		15,000,000		15,000,000
Common stock associated with the March 2019 Notes		1,138,200		1,138,200
Warrants to purchase common stock associated with Loan Agreement		198,811		198,811
Warrants to purchase common stock associated with Danforth		50,000		50,000
Total		22,412,414		25,454,806

Segment and Geographic Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise (business activity from which it earns revenue and incurs expenses) about which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews consolidated net (loss) income to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment, drug development. See Note 14 for further details.

Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts

Certain prior year amounts within the accrued expenses and income tax footnote disclosures have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
