NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDSENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, referred to as the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel therapeutics based on scientific understanding of key biological pathways underlying liver and metabolic diseases, retinal diseases and cancer. The six most advanced proprietary product candidates in the Company’s portfolio are aldafermin (NGM282), NGM313, NGM621, NGM120, NGM395 and NGM707.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in December 2007 and commenced operations in 2008. Its headquarters are located at 333 Oyster Point Blvd., South San Francisco, California 94080.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Regulation S-X for interim consolidated financial information. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2020 (the “Annual Report”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary in Australia. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Specific accounts that require management estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of common stock and the associated stock-based compensation expense, contract manufacturing accruals, clinical trial accruals and revenue recognition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606”). Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Need for Additional Capital
Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred net losses of $29.8 million and $74.5 million, respectively, compared to $10.9 million and $26.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $270.6 million and does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operations in the near future. The Company had $287.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2020, which it considers sufficient to fund its operations for a period of at least one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are available for issuance. The Company plans to continue to fund its operations and pursue its strategy through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements or a combination of these.
7
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables from collaborations, the related party receivables from collaboration and other current assets and liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. Cash equivalents are securities with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by placing its investments with a bank it believes is highly creditworthy and with highly rated money market funds. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits and investments in money market funds.
Marketable Securities
The appropriate classification of the Company’s marketable securities is determined at the time of purchase and such designations are re-evaluated at each balance sheet date. All of the Company’s securities are considered available-for-sale, carried at estimated fair values and reported in cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities or long-term marketable securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from net loss and reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Other income (expense), net, includes interest, amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of purchase discounts, realized gains and losses on sales of securities and other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of securities, if any. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
The Company’s investments are regularly reviewed for other-than-temporary declines in fair value. This review includes the consideration of the cause of the impairment, including the creditworthiness of the security issuers, the number of securities in an unrealized loss position, the severity and duration of the unrealized losses, whether the Company has the intent to sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. When the Company determines that the fair value of an investment is below its carrying value and this decline is other-than-temporary, the Company reduces the carrying value of the security it holds and records a loss for the amount of such decline. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not record any impairment related to other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of securities.
Restricted Cash
The Company’s restricted cash represents collateral in connection with the lease on the Company’s headquarters entered into in 2015 and is classified as a non-current asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the collateral will not be returned to the Company in less than 12 months (Note 6).
Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities from the Company’s available-for-sale and marketable security portfolio potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company is invested in money market funds and marketable securities through custodial relationships with major U.S. and Australian banks. Under its investment policy, the Company limits amounts invested in such securities by credit rating, maturity, industry group, investment type and issuer, except for securities issued by the U.S. government.
8
Related party receivables from collaboration agreements (Note 5) are typically unsecured. Accordingly, the Company may be exposed to credit risk generally associated with its Research Collaboration, Product Development and License Agreement with Merck (“Collaboration Agreement”). To date, the Company has not experienced any losses related to these receivables.
Merck accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists of computer equipment, laboratory equipment and office furniture and leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs, and training on the use of equipment, are expensed as incurred. Costs that improve assets or extend their economic lives are capitalized. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of the asset, which is as follows:
