Annual Report 2020

2020 marked a year 
of tremendous growth 
and accomplishment 
for Halozyme. 

This performance sets us on the path for 
long-term value creation as a company 
focused on bringing disruptive solutions to 
significantly improve patient experiences 
and outcomes for emerging and 
established therapies.  

Today, Halozyme is a leader in the 
conversion of intravenous biologics to 
subcutaneous delivery with a strategy 
centered around collaborating with our 
pharmaceutical and biotechnology 
partners to help them develop products 
that combine our patented ENHANZE® 
technology with their proprietary 
compounds. 

Despite the challenges faced in 2020, 
Halozyme was able to deliver strong 
execution across multiple fronts that 
resulted in a very successful year for 
the company. This performance was 
only possible thanks to the hard work 
and dedication of the entire Halozyme 
team and our partners, who were able to 
navigate and respond to the unique 
challenges the COVID-19 global 
pandemic brought.  

Delivering on Our Commitments 

We entered 2020 committed to 
transforming Halozyme into a company 
focused on our ENHANZE®  technology.  
As part of this transformation, we made 
several financial commitments with 
the goal of growing shareholder value: 
to reduce our cost structure, achieve 
sustainable profitability, and return 
capital to investors. 

We completed the restructuring and 
successfully closed out non-essential 
activities during 2020 and achieved the 
expense structure we committed to. 
We further achieved profitability in the 
second quarter as guided and have 
maintained profitability since then.   

We also entered 2020 committed to 
capital return through a $550 million 
three-year share repurchase program 
approved by the Halozyme Board of 
Directors in November 2019.  At the 
outset of 2020, we targeted repurchasing 
up to $150 million worth of Halozyme 
shares during the year, bringing the total 
since November 2019 to $350 million.  
We successfully achieved our 2020 
target, repurchasing $150 million worth 
of shares at an average price of $23.05, 
with the average repurchase price since 
inception for the $350 million of $19.88. 

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Having delivered on these commitments, 
our business is now well-positioned for 
sustainable growth. 

Delivering Progress with 
Our Partners 

Delivering Growth 

We continued to deliver on the growth 
potential of ENHANZE®  in 2020 with record 
financial results. Total revenues in 2020 
were $267.6 million - up 37% from 2019.  
Strong overall growth was largely driven by 
two streams of revenue.   

Record revenues of 
$267.6 million, up 37% 
from 2019

• Milestone revenues under collaborative

agreements more than doubled in
2020 to $123 million from 2019 driven by
milestones triggered by strong partner
progress in clinical development and
the signing of a new collaboration
partner associated with a large upfront
milestone.

• In addition, revenues from royalties

returned to growth in 2020, totaling $88.6
million, which represented 27% growth
over the prior year.  This growth was
driven by strong uptake of subcutaneous
DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab
and hyaluronidase-fihj) in the U.S. and
DARZALEX® SC (daratumumab) in the EU,
following regulatory approval.

First full year of 
profitability with net 
income of $129.1 million 
or 91 cents per share 

As a result, we exited 2020 with strong 
momentum in revenues from royalties. 

Our strong revenue growth translated into 
our first full year of profitability with net 
income of $129.1 million, or earnings per 
share of $0.91. 

We are excited to build on this growth in 
2021 fueled by progress in our pipeline 
of development programs and ongoing 
royalty revenue growth from the new 
product launches by our ENHANZE® 
partners. 

We now have ten marquee pharma 
and biotech company ENHANZE® 
collaboration partners with access to use 
ENHANZE® with up to 57 different targets 
or medicines with a unique mechanism 
of action.  We work closely with each 
of our collaboration partners to support 
them to successfully execute their clinical 
development programs for products 
utilizing ENHANZE® technology.   

During 2020 we saw a number of 
significant achievements and successes 
related to our ENHANZE® technology 
and partners.  Among those significant 
achievements and successes for  
2020 were: 

• U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

approval for Janssen Biotech, Inc.’s
DARZALEX FASPRO® utilizing Halozyme’s
ENHANZE® technology across multiple
indications in multiple myeloma.
Janssen initiated commercialization in
Q2 2020.

2 products approved by 
FDA and EMA utilizing 
ENHANZE® in 2020

• European Commission approval for
Janssen-Cilag International NV’s
subcutaneous form of DARZALEX®
utilizing Halozyme’s ENHANZE®
technology for all IV-approved
indications in multiple myeloma.
Janssen initiated commercialization
following the June 2020 approval.

• U.S. FDA approval for Roche’s Phesgo®

(pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and
hyaluronidase-zzxf) injection, the first
product approved combining two
monoclonal antibodies administered by
a single subcutaneous injection utilizing
Halozyme’s ENHANZE® technology,
for the treatment of eligible patients
with early and metastatic HER2-
positive breast cancer. Roche initiated
commercialization in Q3 2020.

• European Commission approval for
Roche’s Phesgo® injection utilizing
Halozyme’s ENHANZE® technology for
the treatment of patients with early and
metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer
in December 2020.

Our employees are the lifeblood of our 
business and we take their development, 
health, safety and well-being very 
seriously.  We believe it is important 
to provide an environment where all 
employees are respected and rewarded 
for their contributions and can pursue their 
career goals in a diverse, inclusive and 
supportive team environment. 

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, 
we took immediate and decisive actions 
to protect the health and well-being 
of our workforce.  In preparation for 
the potential impacts from COVID-19, 
we developed a detailed work from 
home plan that we were able to quickly 
implement even in advance of the state 
mandated lockdown issued in California.  
By doing so we were able to protect 
our employees while ensuring business 
continuity, including supply of API for 
our commercial partners, who were in 
turn able to maintain supply of critical 
therapies for patients.  I am pleased to 
report that we were able to seamlessly 
operate our business with most employees 
working remotely while maintaining the 
high level of productivity that is apparent 
in our strong 2020 financial results.  

We believe 2020 is a terrific demonstration 
of how we can act responsibly while 
meeting the needs of employees, 
shareholders, suppliers, our ENHANZE® 
partners and their patients.

On behalf of Halozyme’s board of 
directors, our senior leadership team, 
and our employees, I thank you for your 
continued support of our company and 
the important work we do.

Best regards,

HELEN TORLEY, M.B. Ch. B., M.R.C.P. 
PRESIDENT & CEO

Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer

Today, Halozyme is a leader in the 
conversion of intravenous biologics to 
subcutaneous delivery with a strategy 
centered around collaborating with our 
pharmaceutical and biotechnology 
partners to help them develop products 
that combine our patented ENHANZE® 
technology with their proprietary 
compounds. ENHANZE® offers these 
partners the potential to reduce the 
treatment burden for patients, reduce the 
cost to the healthcare system to deliver 
the treatment and provide competitive 
differentiation.  Our attractive ENHANZE® 
business model provides a long  
growth runway.   

Looking ahead, we see the opportunity 
to leverage our commercialization and 
partnering capabilities through the 
acquisition of complementary platform 
technologies that can enhance and 
extend our revenue growth. With our 
ENHANZE® technology still early in its growth 
cycle, we have the opportunity to be 
highly selective and find a technology that 
fits well with our current business model. 

Delivering Responsibly 

Halozyme strives to have an outsized 
impact in making the world a better place.  
Halozyme is committed to achieving 
our goal of improving patients’ lives 
while operating in a sustainable, socially 
responsible manner.  This commitment 
is consistent with our core values, which 
provide us with a framework for how 
we can deliver benefits for patients, 
employees, the environment and  
local communities.

While we have always been conscientious 
in operating our business with regard to 
environmental, social and governance 
issues, in 2020 we substantially increased 
our disclosures in this area. These 
disclosures included additions to our web 
site and the publication of our first  
Annual ESG Report.   

• Expansion of our collaboration and
license agreement with argenx SE
for three additional targets upon
nomination for a total of up to
six targets under the existing and
expanded collaboration.

New partnership 
established with Horizon 
Therapeutics plc for 
TEPEZZA™ (teprotumumab) 
in Thyroid Eye Disease 

• A new collaboration and license

agreement with Horizon Therapeutics
plc granting Horizon exclusive access
to Halozyme’s ENHANZE® drug
delivery technology for subcutaneous
formulation of medicines targeting
IGF-1R resulting in an upfront milestone
payment of $30 million to Halozyme.

• The continued advancement of our
ENHANZE-partners’ development
pipeline, including 2 products,
efgartigimod and atezolizumab
(TECENTRIQ®) advancing into Phase
3 development and 9 products in or
completing Phase 1 development.

2020 marked the first year that our 
partners received 2 FDA approval and 
2 European Commission approvals 
for products utilizing our ENHANZE® 
technology.  Those were critical 
developments in fueling our return to 
growth in revenues from royalties.   

The progress and expansion of our 
ENHANZE® partner pipeline provides 
confidence in the potential for our long-
term growth prospects as we anticipate 
the potential for multiple waves of 
product launches in the upcoming years.

Delivering on the Future  

With two new product launches in 
2020 representing our second wave of 
ENHANZE® product launches, and line 
of sight to potential Wave 3 and Wave 4 
launches in the 2023-2025 and 2025-2027 
timeframes respectively, we believe we 
are well positioned for sustainable growth 
in revenues, profitability, and cash flow 
that will allow us to build an even brighter 
future for Halozyme.

Business

Overview

Halozyme  Therapeutics  Inc.  is  a  biopharma  technology  platform  company  that  provides  innovative  and  disruptive 
solutions with the goal of improving patient experience and outcomes. Our proprietary enzyme, rHuPH20, is used to facilitate 
the delivery of injected drugs and fluids. We license our technology to biopharmaceutical companies to collaboratively develop 
products that combine our ENHANZE® drug delivery technology with the collaborators’ proprietary compounds. 

Our  approved  product  and  our  collaborators’  approved  products  and  product  candidates  are  based  on  rHuPH20,  our 
patented  recombinant  human  hyaluronidase  enzyme.  rHuPH20  is  the  active  ingredient  in  our  first  commercially  approved 
product,  Hylenex®  recombinant  (Hylenex),  and  it  works  by  breaking  down  hyaluronan  (or  HA),  a  naturally  occurring 
carbohydrate that is a major component of the extracellular matrix in tissues throughout the body such as skin and cartilage. 
This temporarily increases dispersion and absorption allowing for improved subcutaneous delivery of injectable biologics, such 
as  monoclonal  antibodies  and  other  large  therapeutic  molecules,  as  well  as  small  molecules  and  fluids.  We  refer  to  the 
application  of  rHuPH20  to  facilitate  the  delivery  of  other  drugs  or  fluids  as  our  ENHANZE®  drug  delivery  technology 
(ENHANZE). We license the ENHANZE technology to form collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies that develop or 
market  drugs  requiring  or  benefiting  from  injection  via  the  subcutaneous  route  of  administration.  In  the  development  of 
proprietary  intravenous  (IV)  drugs  combined  with  our  ENHANZE  technology,  data  have  been  generated  supporting  the 
potential  for  ENHANZE  to  reduce  treatment  burden,  as  a  result  of  shorter  duration  of  subcutaneous  (SC)  administration. 
ENHANZE may enable fixed-dose SC dosing compared to weight-based dosing required for IV administration, and potentially 
allow  for  lower  rates  of  infusion  related  reactions.  ENHANZE  may  enable  more  flexible  treatment  options  such  as  home 
administration  by  a  healthcare  professional  or  potentially  the  patient.  Lastly,  certain  proprietary  drugs  co-formulated  with 
ENHANZE have been granted additional exclusivity, extending the patent life of the product beyond the one of the proprietary 
IV drug.

We currently have ENHANZE collaborations with F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. (Roche), 
Baxalta US Inc. and Baxalta GmbH (now members of the Takeda group of companies, following the acquisition of Shire plc by 
Takeda  Pharmaceutical  Company  Limited  in  January  2019)  (Baxalta),  Pfizer  Inc.  (Pfizer),  Janssen  Biotech,  Inc.  (Janssen), 
AbbVie,  Inc.  (AbbVie),  Eli  Lilly  and  Company  (Lilly),  Bristol-Myers  Squibb  Company  (BMS),  Alexion  Pharma  Holding 
(Alexion),  ARGENX  BVBA  (argenx)  and  Horizon  Therapeutics  plc.  (Horizon).  We  receive  royalties  from  three  of  these 
collaborations,  including  royalties  from  sales  of  one  product  from  the  Baxalta  collaboration,  three  products  from  the  Roche 
collaboration  and  one  product  from  the  Janssen  collaboration.  Future  potential  revenues  from  royalties  and  fees  from 
ENHANZE collaborations and the sales and/or royalties of our approved products will depend on the ability of Halozyme and 
our  collaborators  to  develop,  manufacture,  secure  and  maintain  regulatory  approvals  for  approved  products  and  product 
candidates and commercialize product candidates.

Technology

rHuPH20  can  be  applied  as  a  drug  delivery  platform  to  increase  dispersion  and  absorption  of  other  injected  drugs  and 
fluids  potentially  reducing  treatment  burden.  For  example,  rHuPH20  has  been  used  to  convert  drugs  that  must  be  delivered 
intravenously  into  subcutaneous  injections  or  to  reduce  the  number  of  subcutaneous  injections  needed  for  effective  therapy. 
When ENHANZE technology is applied subcutaneously, the rHuPH20 acts locally and transiently, with a tissue half-life of less 
than 15 minutes. HA at the local site reconstitutes its normal density within a few days and, therefore, the effect of rHuPH20 on 
the architecture of the subcutaneous space is temporary.

Strategy

We  are  a  leader  in  converting  IV  biologics  to  subcutaneous  delivery  using  our  commercially-validated  ENHANZE 
technology.  We  collaborate  with  leading  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  companies  to  help  them  develop  products  that 
combine our ENHANZE technology with their proprietary compounds. We target large, attractive markets, where ENHANZE-
enabled  subcutaneous  delivery  has  the  potential  to  deliver  competitive  differentiation  and  other  important  benefits  to  our 
partners, such as larger injection volumes administered rapidly, extended dosing intervals, and reduced treatment burden and 
healthcare costs. In addition, ENHANZE has been demonstrated to enable the combination of two therapeutic antibodies in a 
single injection, as well as the development of new co-formulation intellectual property. We leverage our strategic, technical, 
regulatory and alliance management skills in support of our partners' efforts to develop new subcutaneously delivered products. 
We  currently  have  ten  collaborations  with  five  current  product  approvals  and  additional  product  candidates  in  development 
using our ENHANZE technology. We intend to work with our existing collaborators to expand our collaborations to add new 
targets  and  develop  targets  and  product  candidates  under  the  terms  of  the  operative  collaboration  agreements.  We  will  also 
continue our efforts to enter into new collaborations to further derive additional value from our proprietary technology.

Proprietary Product

Hylenex Recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection)

Hylenex  recombinant  is  a  formulation  of  rHuPH20  that  facilitates  subcutaneous  fluid  administration  for  achieving 
hydration,  to  increase  the  dispersion  and  absorption  of  other  injected  drugs  and,  in  subcutaneous  urography,  to  improve 
resorption of radiopaque agents. Hylenex recombinant is currently the number one prescribed branded hyaluronidase. 

ENHANZE Collaborations

Roche Collaboration

In  December  2006,  we  and  Roche  entered  into  a  collaboration  and  license  agreement  under  which  Roche  obtained  a 
worldwide license to develop and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20 and up to thirteen Roche target compounds 
(the Roche Collaboration). Under this agreement, Roche elected a total of eight targets, two of which are exclusive. 

In  September  2013,  Roche  launched  a  subcutaneous  (SC)  formulation  of  Herceptin  (trastuzumab)  (Herceptin  SC)  in 
Europe  for  the  treatment  of  patients  with  HER2-positive  breast  cancer  followed  by  launches  in  additional  countries.    This 
formulation utilizes our ENHANZE technology and is administered in two to five minutes, compared to 30 to 90 minutes with 
the  standard  intravenous  form.      In  September  2018,  we  announced  that  Roche  received  approval  from  Health  Canada  for 
Herceptin  SC  for  the  treatment  of  patients  with  HER2-positive  breast  cancer.  In  February  2019,  we  announced  that  Roche 
received  approval  from  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA)  for  Herceptin  SC  under  the  brand  name  Herceptin 
Hylecta™ (trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk). In April 2019, Roche made Herceptin Hylecta available in the U.S.

Directed at the same target, Roche initiated a Phase 1 study of Perjeta® (pertuzumab) and Herceptin (trastuzumab) using 
ENHANZE technology in patients with early breast cancer in March 2016. In June 2018, Roche initiated a global Phase 3 study 
of a fixed-dose combination of Perjeta and Herceptin using ENHANZE technology in patients with HER2-positive early breast 
cancer. In August 2019, the global phase 3 study met its primary endpoint. The study results demonstrated non-inferior levels of 
Perjeta  in  the  blood  (pharmacokinetics)  compared  to  standard  intravenous  (IV)  infusion  of  Perjeta  plus  Herceptin  and 
chemotherapy  in  patients  with  HER2-positive  early  breast  cancer.  The  study  also  demonstrated  that  the  safety  profile  of  the 
fixed  dose  subcutaneous  combination  of  Perjeta  and  Herceptin  was  consistent  with  the  safety  profile  of  Perjeta  and 
Herceptin administered intravenously. In June 2020, the FDA approved the fixed-dose combination of Perjeta and Herceptin for 
subcutaneous  injection  utilizing  ENHANZE  technology  (Phesgo®)  for  the  treatment  of  patients  with  HER2-positive  breast 
cancer. In December 2020, the European Commission (EC) also approved Phesgo for the treatment of patients with early and 
metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.

In June 2014, Roche launched MabThera SC in Europe for the treatment of patients with common forms of non-Hodgkin 
lymphoma  (NHL)  followed  by  launches  in  additional  countries.  This  formulation  utilizes  our  ENHANZE  technology  and  is 
administered in approximately five minutes compared to the approximately 1.5 to 4 hour intravenous infusion. In May 2016, 
Roche  announced  that  the  European  Medicines  Agency  (EMA)  approved  Mabthera  SC  to  treat  patients  with  chronic 
lymphocytic  leukemia  (CLL).  In  June  2017,  the  FDA  approved  Genentech’s  RITUXAN  HYCELA™,  a  combination  of 
rituximab using ENHANZE technology (approved and marketed under the MabThera SC brand in countries outside the U.S. 
and Canada), for CLL and two types of NHL, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In March 2018, Health 
Canada approved a combination of rituximab and rHuPH20 (approved and marketed under the brand name RITUXAN® SC) for 
patients with CLL.

In September 2017, we and Roche entered into an agreement providing Roche the right to develop and commercialize one 
additional  exclusive  target  using  ENHANZE  technology.  The  upfront  license  payment  may  be  followed  by  event-based 
payments subject to Roche’s achievement of specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones. In addition, Roche 
will pay royalties to us if products under the collaboration are commercialized.

In  October  2018,  we  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Roche  for  the  right  to  develop  and  commercialize  one  additional 
exclusive  target  and  an  option  to  select  two  additional  targets  within  four  years  using  ENHANZE  technology.  The  upfront 
license  payment  may  be  followed  by  event-based  payments  subject  to  Roche’s  achievement  of  specified  development, 
regulatory  and  sales-based  milestones.  In  addition,  Roche  will  pay  royalties  to  us  if  products  under  the  collaboration  are 
commercialized.

In  December  2018,  Roche  initiated  a  Phase  1b/2  study  in  patients  with  non-small  cell  lung  cancer  for  Tecentriq 
(atezolizumab) using ENHANZE technology. In September 2020, Roche presented a poster with data from Part 1 of its Phase 
1b study (IMscin001) evaluating atezolizumab (Tecentriq) for subcutaneous administration utilizing ENHANZE technology in 
patients  with  locally  advanced  or  metastatic  non-small  cell  lung  cancer  at  the  ESMO  Virtual  Congress  2020.  The  poster 
concluded  that  atezolizumab  utilizing  ENHANZE  technology  provided  similar  exposure  as  atezolizumab  IV  and  that  results 
support further development of subcutaneous atezolizumab in IMscin001 Part 2, a confirmatory Phase 3 study. In December 
2020, Roche initiated a Phase 3 study in patients with non-small cell lung cancer for Tecentriq using ENHANZE technology.

5

  In  August  2019,  Roche  initiated  a  Phase  1  study  evaluating  OCREVUS  (ocrelizumab)  with  ENHANZE  technology  in 

subjects with multiple sclerosis. 

In October 2019, Roche nominated a new undisclosed target to be studied using ENHANZE technology, triggering a $10 

million milestone payment. 

Baxalta Collaboration

In September 2007, we and Baxalta entered into a collaboration and license agreement under which Baxalta obtained a 
worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize product combinations of rHuPH20 with GAMMAGARD LIQUID 
(HYQVIA)  (the  Baxalta  Collaboration).  HYQVIA  is  indicated  for  the  treatment  of  primary  immunodeficiency  disorders 
associated with defects in the immune system.

In May 2013, the European Commission granted Baxalta marketing authorization in all EU Member States for the use of 
HYQVIA  (solution  for  subcutaneous  use)  as  replacement  therapy  for  adult  patients  with  primary  and  secondary 
immunodeficiencies. Baxalta launched HYQVIA in the first EU country in July 2013 and has continued to launch in additional 
countries.

In September 2014, HYQVIA was approved by the FDA for treatment of adult patients with primary immunodeficiency 
in the U.S. HYQVIA is the first subcutaneous immune globulin (IG) treatment approved for adult primary immunodeficiency 
patients with a dosing regimen requiring only one infusion up to once per month (every three to four weeks) and one injection 
site per infusion in most patients, to deliver a full therapeutic dose of IG. The FDA’s approval of HYQVIA was a significant 
milestone for us as it represented the first U.S. approved BLA which utilizes our rHuPH20 platform. 

In May 2016, Baxalta announced that HYQVIA received a marketing authorization from the European Commission for a 
pediatric indication, which was launched in Europe to treat primary and certain secondary immunodeficiencies. In September 
2020, Takeda announced that the EMA approved a label update for HYQVIA broadening its use and making it the first and 
only facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin replacement therapy in adults, adolescents and children with an expanded range 
of secondary immunodeficiencies (SID).

Pfizer Collaboration

In  December  2012,  we  and  Pfizer  entered  into  a  collaboration  and  license  agreement,  under  which  Pfizer  has  the 
worldwide license to develop and commercialize products combining our rHuPH20 enzyme with Pfizer proprietary biologics in 
primary care and specialty care indications. Pfizer has elected five targets and has returned two targets. 

Janssen Collaboration

In  December  2014,  we  and  Janssen  entered  into  a  collaboration  and  license  agreement,  under  which  Janssen  has  the 
worldwide license to develop and commercialize products combining our rHuPH20 enzyme with Janssen proprietary biologics 
directed to up to five targets. Targets may be selected on an exclusive basis. Janssen has elected CD38 as the first target on an 
exclusive  basis.  Janssen  has  initiated  seven  Phase  3  studies,  two  Phase  2  study  and  one  Phase  1  study  of  DARZALEX® 
(daratumumab),  directed  at  CD38,  using  ENHANZE  technology  in  patients  with  amyloidosis,  smoldering  myeloma  and 
multiple myeloma. 

In February 2019, Janssen’s development partner, Genmab, announced positive Phase 3 trial results from the COLUMBA 
study evaluating subcutaneous DARZALEX in comparison to DARZALEX IV in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple 
myeloma. DARZALEX SC (utilizing ENHANZE technology) was found to be non-inferior to Darzalex IV with regard the co-
primary endpoints of Overall Response Rate and Maximum Trough concentration. In May 2020, we announced that Janssen 
received  US  FDA  approval  and  launched  the  commercial  sale  of  DARZALEX  FASPRO  in  four  regimens  across  five 
indications  in  multiple  myeloma  patients,  including  newly  diagnosed,  transplant-ineligible  patients  as  well  as  relapsed  or 
refractory  patients.  As  a  fixed-dose  formulation,  DARZALEX  FASPRO  can  be  administered  over  three  to  five  minutes, 
significantly  less  time  than  IV  DARZALEX  which  requires  multi-hour  infusions.  In  June  2020,  we  announced  that  Janssen 
received European marketing authorization and launched the commercial sale of DARZALEX SC utilizing ENHANZE in the 
European  Union.  In  April  2020,  we  announced  the  submission  of  a  New  Drug  Application  (NDA)  to  Japan's  Ministry  of 
Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) by Janssen seeking approval of DARZALEX SC. In November 2020, Janssen announced 
it  submitted  a  Type  II  variation  application  to  the  EMA  seeking  European  approval  of  DARZALEX  SC  to  be  used  in  the 
treatment  of  patients  with  AL  amyloidosis,  a  rare  and  potentially  fatal  disease  for  which  there  are  no  currently  approved 
therapies.  In  August  2020,  Janssen  announced  that  Health  Canada  approved  DARZALEX  SC  in  four  regimens  across  five 
indications in patients with multiple myeloma, most notably newly diagnosed, trans-plant-ineligible patients as well as relapsed 
or  refractory  patients.  In  November  2020,  Janssen  filed  for  approval  of  DARZALEX  FASPRO/Darzalex  SC  with 
pomalidomide  and  dexamethasone  for  patients  with  relapsed  or  refractory  multiple  myeloma  in  the  U.S.  and  EU.  In  January 
2021,  Janssen  received  FDA  approval  for  DARZALEX  FASPRO  in  combination  with  bortezomib,  thalidomide,  and 
dexamethasone in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplant. In January 
2021,  Janssen  received  accelerated  approval  from  the  FDA  for  DARZALEX  FASPRO  in  combination  with  bortezomib, 
cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (D-VCd) for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis (not 

6

recommended for the treatment of patients with AL amyloidosis who have NYHA Class IIIB or Class IV cardiac disease or 
Mayo Stage IIIB outside of controlled clinical trials). 

In December 2019, Janssen elected targets EGFR and cMET on an exclusive basis as part of the bispecific antibody 
(amivantamab), which is being studied in solid tumors. In November 2020, Janssen initiated a Phase 1 study of amivantamab 
and ENHANZE. 

AbbVie Collaboration

In June 2015, we and AbbVie entered into a collaboration and license agreement, under which AbbVie has the worldwide 
license to develop and commercialize products combining our rHuPH20 enzyme with AbbVie proprietary biologics directed to 
up to nine targets. Targets may be selected on an exclusive basis. AbbVie elected one target on an exclusive basis, TNF alpha, 
for which it has discontinued development and returned the target.

Lilly Collaboration

In December 2015, we and Lilly entered into a collaboration and license agreement, under which Lilly has the worldwide 
license to develop and commercialize products combining our rHuPH20 enzyme with Lilly proprietary biologics directed to up 
to five targets. Targets may be selected on an exclusive basis. Lilly has elected two targets on an exclusive basis and one target 
on  a  semi-exclusive  basis.  In  August  2017,  Lilly  initiated  a  Phase  1  study  of  an  investigational  therapy  in  combination  with 
rHuPH20.

BMS Collaboration

In  September  2017,  we  and  BMS  entered  into  a  collaboration  and  license  agreement,  which  became  effective  in 
November 2017, under which BMS has the worldwide license to develop and commercialize products combining our rHuPH20 
enzyme with BMS products directed at up to eleven targets. Targets may be selected on an exclusive basis. BMS has designated 
multiple immuno-oncology targets including programmed death 1 (PD-1) and has an option to select additional targets within 
five years from the effective date. In October 2018, BMS dosed the first patient in a Phase 1/2a study evaluating the safety, 
pharmacokinetics  and  pharmacodynamics  of  BMS-986179,  an  investigational  anti-CD-73  antibody  alone  and  in  combination 
with  nivolumab,  using    ENHANZE  technology.  BMS  is  also  conducting  a  Phase  1/2  study  of  nivolumab  using  ENHANZE 
technology in patients with solid tumors. In October 2019, BMS initiated a Phase 1 study for relatlimab in combination with 
nivolumab using ENHANZE technology. In June 2020, BMS initiated a Phase 1/2 study of  ipilimumab in combination with 
nivolumab using ENHANZE technology, but has recently made a portfolio prioritization decision to not continue the study. In 
June  2020,  BMS  selected  3  targets  on  an  exclusive  basis  and  exercised  their  option  to  convert  a  co-exclusive  license  to  an 
exclusive license. BMS has selected eight targets on an exclusive basis to-date.

Alexion Collaboration 

In  December  2017,  we  and  Alexion  entered  into  a  collaboration  and  license  agreement,  under  which  Alexion  has  the 
worldwide  license  to  develop  and  commercialize  products  combining  our  rHuPH20  enzyme  with  Alexion’s  portfolio  of 
products  directed  at  up  to  four  targets.  Targets  may  be  selected  on  an  exclusive  basis.  Alexion  elected  two  targets  on  an 
exclusive basis, including a C5 complement inhibitor and has an option to select two additional targets within five years from 
the effective date. In August 2018, Alexion announced that it initiated a Phase 1 trial to study a next-generation subcutaneous 
formulation of ALXN1210  using ENHANZE technology (ALXN1810). In April 2020 Alexion announced it would no longer 
proceed with a study of ALXN1810 in renal disease. Following a portfolio prioritization, Alexion has made the decision to not 
proceed  with  further  development  of  ALXN1810,  subcutaneous  ULTOMIRIS  co-administered  with  ENHANZE  technology. 
Alexion is evaluating additional development options for ENHANZE.

argenx Collaboration 

In  February  2019,  we  and  argenx  entered  into  an  agreement  for  the  right  to  develop  and  commercialize  one  exclusive 
target, the human neonatal Fc receptor FcRn, which includes argenx's lead asset efgartigimod (ARGX-113), and an option to 
select two additional targets using ENHANZE technology. In May 2019, argenx nominated a second target to be studied using 
ENHANZE  technology,  a  human  complement  factor  C2  associated  with  the  product  candidate  ARGX-117,  which  is  being 
developed to treat severe autoimmune diseases. 

In  July  2019,  argenx  dosed  the  first  subject  in  a  phase  1  clinical  trial  evaluating  the  safety,  pharmacokinetics  and 
pharmacodynamics of efgartigimod (ARGX-113), using ENHANZE technology. In December 2019, argenx reported that based 
on  data  from  the  phase  1  study  and  internal  company  analysis,  a  one  minute  injection  administered  every  2  weeks  may  be 
possible.  In  December  2020,  argenx  initiated  a  Phase  3  study  of  ARGX-113  using  ENHANZE  technology  for  patients  with 
immune  thrombocytopenia  (ITP),  an  immune  disorder  in  which  the  blood  does  not    clot  normally.  In  January  2021,  argenx 
initiated  a  Phase  3  study  of  ARGX-113  using  ENHANZE  technology  in  pemphigus  vulgaris  and  foliaceus  (PV),  a  rare 
autoimmune disease that causes painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes.  In February 2021, argenx initiated a Phase 
3  study  of  ARGX-113  using  ENHANZE  technology  for  patients  with  chronic  inflammatory  demyelinating  polyneuropathy 
(CIDP) and initiated a Phase 3 study of ARGX-113 using ENHANZE technology in myasthenia gravis (MG), an autoimmune 
disorder of the musculoskeletal system caused by IgG autoantibodies.

7

In  October  2020,  we  and  argenx  entered  into  agreement  to  expand  the  collaboration  relationship.  Under  the  newly 
announced  expansion,  argenx  gained  the  ability  to  exclusively  access  our  ENHANZE  technology  for  three  additional  targets 
upon nomination for a total of up to six targets under the existing and newly expanded collaboration.

Horizon Collaboration

In  November  2020,  we  and  Horizon  entered  into  a  global  collaboration  and  license  agreement  that  gives  Horizon 
exclusive access to Halozyme's ENHANZE technology for subcutaneous formulation of medicines targeting IGF-1R. Horizon 
intends  to  use  ENHANZE  to  develop  a  SC  formulation  of  TEPEZZA  (teprotumumab-trbw),  indicated  for  the  treatment  of 
thyroid  eye  disease,  a  serious,  progressive  and  vision-threatening  rare  autoimmune  disease,  potentially  shortening  drug 
administration time, reducing healthcare practitioner time and offering additional flexibility and convenience for patients.

NIH CRADA

In June 2019, we announced a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the National Institute 
of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ Vaccine Research Center (VRC), part of National Institute of Health (NIH), enabling the 
VRC’s use of ENHANZE technology to develop subcutaneous formulations of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against 
HIV for HIV treatment. The initiation of this study has been impacted by COVID-19 and is delayed.

CAPRISA

In September 2020, we entered into a collaboration with the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa 
(CAPRISA),  a  non-profit  company,  to  evaluate  safety,  tolerability  and  pharmacokinetics  of  a  human  monoclonal  antibody 
(CAP256V2LS)  in  HIV-negative  and  HIV-positive  women  in  South  Africa.  In  October  2020,  we  were  notified  that  the  first 
patient was dosed with PH20 in a Phase I Dose-Escalation Study for CAP256V2LS.

For a further discussion of the collaboration agreements, refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - 

Revenues under Collaborative Agreements.

Impact of COVID-19 to our Business

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a disease caused by a strain of novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) 
to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various 
measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, 
and  practice  social  distancing  when  engaging  in  essential  activities.  In  an  effort  to  protect  the  health  and  safety  of  our 
employees and in compliance with state regulations, we instituted working from home, limited the number of people that work 
on site at any one time, and suspended employee travel. We anticipate that the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will 
continue  to  have  an  impact  across  the  globe.  As  an  organization  we  continue  to  effectively  operate  with  the  majority  of  our 
employees working from home and not traveling, which we expect will continue for the foreseeable future. Importantly, our 
suppliers  continue  to  operate  without  interruption  related  to  COVID-19.  However,  the  duration  of  the  pandemic  and  its 
continued impact on the global economy as a whole is unknown at this time. We are not clear the extent to which near term and 
long  term  operational  and  economic  impacts  of  COVID-19,  if  any,    will  have  on  our  business,  including  the  effects  on  our 
suppliers, collaborators, customers, employees, and prospects. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely.
Patents and Proprietary Rights

Patents and other proprietary rights are essential to our business. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain 
patent protection for our inventions, to preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third 
parties. Our strategy is to actively pursue patent protection in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for technology that we 
believe  to  be  proprietary  to  us  and  that  offers  us  a  potential  competitive  advantage.  Our  patent  portfolio  includes  43  issued 
patents in the U.S., more than 460 issued patents in Europe and other countries in the world and more than 50 pending patent 
applications. In general, patents have a term of 20 years from the application filing date or earlier claimed priority date. Our 
issued patents will expire between 2023 and 2035. While we recently abandoned a number of patents related to PEGPH20 as a 
result  of  its  failed  Phase  3  clinical  trial  for  the  treatment  of  pancreatic  cancer,  we  continue  to  file  and  prosecute  patent 
applications to strengthen and grow our patent portfolio pertaining to our recombinant human hyaluronidase. We have multiple 
patents and patent applications throughout the world pertaining to our recombinant human hyaluronidase and methods of use 
and manufacture, including an issued U.S. patent which expires in 2027 and an issued European patent which expires in 2024, 
which  we  believe  cover  the  products  and  product  candidates  under  our  existing  collaborations  and  Hylenex  recombinant.  In 
addition,  we  have,  under  prosecution  throughout  the  world,  multiple  patent  applications  that  relate  specifically  to  individual 
product  candidates  under  development,  the  expiration  of  which  can  only  be  definitely  determined  upon  maturation  into  our 
issued  patents.  We  believe  our  patent  filings  represent  a  barrier  to  entry  for  potential  competitors  looking  to  utilize  these 
hyaluronidases.

In  addition  to  patents,  we  rely  on  unpatented  trade  secrets,  proprietary  know-how  and  continuing  technological 
innovation. We seek protection of these trade secrets, proprietary know-how and innovation, in part, through confidentiality and 
proprietary  information  agreements.  Our  policy  is  to  require  our  employees,  directors,  consultants,  advisors,  collaborators, 
outside  scientific  collaborators  and  sponsored  researchers,  other  advisors  and  other  individuals  and  entities  to  execute 
confidentiality  agreements  upon  the  start  of  employment,  consulting  or  other  contractual  relationships  with  us.  These 
agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual or entity during the course of 
the  relationship  is  to  be  kept  confidential  and  not  disclosed  to  third  parties  except  in  specific  circumstances.  In  the  case  of 
employees and some other parties, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived by the individual will be our exclusive 
property. Despite the use of these agreements and our efforts to protect our intellectual property, there will always be a risk of 
unauthorized  use  or  disclosure  of  information.  Furthermore,  our  trade  secrets  may  otherwise  become  known  to,  or  be 
independently developed by, our competitors.

We also file trademark applications to protect the names of our products and product candidates. These applications may 
not  mature  to  registration  and  may  be  challenged  by  third  parties.  We  are  pursuing  trademark  protection  in  a  number  of 
different countries around the world. There can be no assurances that our registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names 
will not infringe on rights of third parties or will be acceptable to regulatory agencies.

Research and Development Activities

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the product development, quality and 
regulatory  work  required  to  maintain  the  ENHANZE  platform,  development  and  manufacturing  of  product  candidates 
performed on behalf of our partners, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, supplies and 
materials, facility costs and amortization and depreciation. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as 
they are incurred. Prior to our November 2019 restructuring, our research and development activities were primarily focused on 
the development of PEGPH20.

Manufacturing

We do not have our own manufacturing facility for our product and our partners’ products and product candidates, or the 

capability to package our products. We have engaged third parties to manufacture bulk rHuPH20 and Hylenex.

We  have  existing  supply  agreements  with  contract  manufacturing  organizations  Avid  Bioservices,  Inc.  (Avid)  and 
Catalent Indiana LLC (Catalent) to produce supplies of bulk rHuPH20. These manufacturers each produce bulk rHuPH20 under 
current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for clinical and commercial uses. Catalent currently produces bulk rHuPH20 for 
use in Hylenex and collaboration product candidates. Avid currently produces bulk rHuPH20 for use in collaboration products. 
We rely on their ability to successfully manufacture these batches according to product specifications. It is important for our 
business for Catalent and Avid to (i) retain their status as cGMP-approved manufacturing facilities; (ii) successfully scale up 
bulk  rHuPH20  production;  and/or  (iii)  manufacture  the  bulk  rHuPH20  required  by  us  and  our  collaborators  for  use  in  our 
proprietary and collaboration products and product candidates. In addition to supply obligations, Avid and Catalent will also 
provide  support  for  data  and  information  used  in  the  chemistry,  manufacturing  and  controls  sections  for  FDA  and  other 
regulatory filings.

We have a commercial manufacturing and supply agreement with Patheon Manufacturing Services, LLC (Patheon) under 

which Patheon will provide the final fill and finishing steps in the production process of Hylenex recombinant. 

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Hylenex Recombinant

Our  commercial  activities  currently  focus  on  Hylenex  recombinant.  We  have  a  team  of  sales  specialists  that  provide 
hospital  and  surgery  center  customers  with  the  information  about  Hylenex  recombinant  and  information  needed  to  obtain 
formulary approval for, and support utilization of, Hylenex recombinant. Our commercial activities also include marketing and 
related services and commercial support services such as commercial operations, managed markets and commercial analytics. 
We also employ third-party vendors, such as advertising agencies, market research firms and suppliers of marketing and other 
sales support related services to assist with our commercial activities.

We sell Hylenex recombinant in the U.S. to wholesale pharmaceutical distributors, who sell the product to hospitals and 
other  end-user  customers.  We  engage  Integrated  Commercialization  Solutions  (ICS),  a  division  of  AmerisourceBergen 
Specialty  Group,  a  subsidiary  of  AmerisourceBergen,  to  act  as  our  exclusive  distributor  for  commercial  shipment  and 
distribution of Hylenex recombinant to our customers in the United States. In addition to distribution services, ICS provides us 
with  other  key  services  related  to  logistics,  warehousing,  returns  and  inventory  management,  contract  administration  and 
chargebacks  processing  and  accounts  receivable  management.  In  addition,  we  utilize  third  parties  to  perform  various  other 

9

services  for  us  relating  to  regulatory  monitoring,  including  call  center  management,  adverse  event  reporting,  safety  database 
management and other product maintenance services.

Competition

The  pharmaceutical  industry  is  characterized  by  rapidly  advancing  technologies,  intense  competition  and  a  strong 
emphasis  on  proprietary  therapeutics.  We  face  competition  from  a  number  of  sources,  some  of  which  may  target  the  same 
indications as our product or product candidates, including large pharmaceutical companies, smaller pharmaceutical companies, 
biotechnology  companies,  academic  institutions,  government  agencies  and  private  and  public  research  institutions,  many  of 
which have greater financial resources, drug development experience, sales and marketing capabilities, including larger, well 
established  sales  forces,  manufacturing  capabilities,  experience  in  obtaining  regulatory  approvals  for  product  candidates  and 
other resources than us. We face competition not only in the commercialization of Hylenex but also for the out-licensing of our 
ENHANZE  technology.  Our  ENHANZE  technology  may  face  increasing  competition  from  alternate  approaches  and/or 
emerging technologies to deliver medicines SC. In addition, our collaborators face competition in the commercialization of the 
product candidates for which the collaborators seek marketing approval from the FDA or other regulatory authorities.

Hylenex Recombinant

Hylenex  recombinant  is  currently  the  only  FDA  approved  recombinant  human  hyaluronidase  on  the  market.  The 
competitors  for  Hylenex  recombinant  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  Valeant  Pharmaceuticals  International,  Inc.’s  product, 
Vitrase®,  an  ovine  (ram)  hyaluronidase,  and  Amphastar  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.’s  product,  Amphadase®,  a  bovine  (bull) 
hyaluronidase.

Government Regulations

The  FDA  and  comparable  regulatory  agencies  in  foreign  countries  regulate  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  the 
pharmaceutical  products  that  we  or  our  partners  have  developed  or  that  our  partners  currently  are  developing.  The  FDA  has 
established  guidelines  and  safety  standards  that  are  applicable  to  the  laboratory  and  preclinical  evaluation  and  clinical 
investigation  of  therapeutic  products  and  stringent  regulations  that  govern  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  these  products.  The 
process  of  obtaining  regulatory  approval  for  a  new  therapeutic  product  usually  requires  a  significant  amount  of  time  and 
substantial resources. 

Regulatory obligations continue post-approval and include the reporting of adverse events when a drug is utilized in the 
broader patient population. Promotion and marketing of drugs is also strictly regulated, with penalties imposed for violations of 
FDA regulations, the Lanham Act and other federal and state laws, including the federal anti-kickback statute.

We currently intend to continue to seek, through our collaborators, approval to market products and product candidates in 
foreign  countries,  which  may  have  regulatory  processes  that  differ  materially  from  those  of  the  FDA.  Our  partners  may  rely 
upon independent consultants to seek and gain approvals to market our proposed products in foreign countries or may rely on 
other  pharmaceutical  or  biotechnology  companies  to  license  our  proposed  products.  We  cannot  guarantee  that  approvals  to 
market any of our partners’ products can be obtained in any country. Approval to market a product in any one foreign country 
does not necessarily indicate that approval can be obtained in other countries.

From  time  to  time,  legislation  is  drafted  and  introduced  in  Congress  that  could  significantly  change  the  statutory 
provisions governing the approval, manufacturing and marketing of drug products. In addition, FDA regulations and guidance 
are  often  revised  or  reinterpreted  by  the  agency  or  reviewing  courts  in  ways  that  may  significantly  affect  our  business  and 
development  of  our  partners’  product  candidates  and  any  products  that  we  may  commercialize.  It  is  impossible  to  predict 
whether  additional  legislative  changes  will  be  enacted,  or  FDA  regulations,  guidance  or  interpretations  changed,  or  what  the 
impact of any such changes may be.

Human Capital Management

The experience, expertise and dedication of our employees drive the progress and accomplishments of Halozyme. 

As  of  February  17,  2021,  we  had  136  full-time  employees.  None  of  our  employees  are  unionized  and  we  believe  our 

employee relations to be good. 

Recognizing the value of our employees and the contributions they make in achieving our business objectives and overall 
success,  we  focus  on  creating  and  providing  an  inclusive  and  safe  work  environment  where  employees  are  respected  and 
rewarded for their contributions, work together as one team, have opportunities to grow and develop their careers, and support 
the communities in which we work. We also believe this approach to human capital management is essential to attracting and 
retaining  employees  in  the  highly  competitive  biotechnology  and  pharmaceutical  labor  market.  To  achieve  this  supportive 
working environment, our human capital management efforts focus on:

Corporate Values and Ethics:

The foundation of our human capital management strategy is contained in our corporate values statement and our Code of 
Conduct  and  Ethics  (the  “Code  of  Conduct”),  both  of  which  provide  uniform  guidance  to  all  our  employees  regarding 
expectations for proper workplace behavior. Our corporate values emphasize respecting and valuing fellow team members and 
acting with integrity and honesty to uphold the highest ethical standards. We believe these values provide an environment in 
which all employees can feel proud and motivated to contribute their valued talents to achieving corporate goals and objectives.  
Our  values  also  emphasize  empowering  employees  and  personal  accountability  as  a  means  to  fulfill  our  commitments  to 
patients, partners, shareholders and each other.

Our  Board  of  Directors  adopted  and  regularly  reviews  the  Code  of  Conduct,  which  applies  to  all  of  our  employees, 
officers and directors. Adherence to the Code of Conduct helps ensure that all employees can feel a part of an organization that 
emphasizes adherence to laws and policies covering the industry in which we work. Our Code of Conduct also emphasizes each 
employee’s accountability for making decisions and taking actions in a highly ethical manner with a focus on honesty, fairness 
and integrity and treating all fellow employees in a respectful and inclusive manner. We have established a reporting hotline 
that  enables  employees  to  file  anonymous  reports  of  any  suspected  violations  of  the  Code  of  Conduct.  We  believe  that 
providing an ethical environment in which to work is vital to our efforts to attract, retain and develop our employees.

Diversity and Inclusion:

We seek to build and maintain a diverse team of employees that is passionate about and committed to having a positive 
impact on the lives of patients and their families. We value and celebrate the unique talents, backgrounds and perspectives each 
employee  contributes  to  achieving  our  mission  and  corporate  objectives.  In  support  of  this  philosophy,  we  adopted  the 
Biotechnology  Innovation  Organization’s  principles  on  workforce  development,  diversity  and  inclusion.  Our  diverse  and 
inclusive culture is key to attract, develop and retain our talent pool within the globally competitive biotechnology industry. Our 
dedication to these principles has resulted in a diverse and inclusive employee base consisting of 51% female and 40% non-
white/Caucasian employees as of February 17, 2021.

As an equal opportunity employer, we strive to attract and connect with diverse talent who best match our core values and 
who  will  be  successful  and  thrive  at  Halozyme.  Our  recruiting  team  partners  with  hiring  managers  and  with  our  diverse 
interview panels to provide support at every stage of the process. We strive to ensure we evaluate a diverse group of candidates 
for every role with the goal of identifying the best possible candidate – whether internal or external – to fill open roles in the 
company. We are also committed to providing a positive candidate experience and endeavor to be transparent and respect the 
time each candidate gives us throughout the process. We evaluate our recruitment and retention efforts based on a variety of 
metrics, including offer acceptance rate, time-to-hire, turnover and diversity of our employees.

Professional Development for Employees at All Levels:

We  are  firmly  committed  to  employee  development  because  it  is  essential  to  the  future  growth  and  overall  success  of 
Halozyme. We understand that high performing employees are always searching for ways to broaden and develop their skills.  
To  support  our  employees,  we  conduct  an  individual  development  plan  process  to  give  employees  the  opportunity  and 
accountability to document their career goals and the actions necessary to achieve those goals. Our senior leader development 
program  is  focused  on  advancing  business  acumen  and  leadership  skills.  Our  talent  development  curriculum  for  the  entire 
organization  is  focused  on  professional,  team  and  leadership  development  opportunities  and  grounded  in  our  established 
leadership  attributes  which  identify  the  knowledge,  skills,  abilities  and  behaviors  that  contribute  to  individual  and 
organizational  performance.  In  addition,  we  provide  an  online  learning  platform  where  employees  can  access  training  or 
programs  on  a  variety  of  topics  whenever  they  choose.  We  offer  education  assistance  for  college  and  university  courses, 
training seminars and educational conferences to all employees. 

To  monitor  progress,  we  review  our  succession  plan  for  key  senior  management  positions  as  part  of  our  annual  talent 

review and identify development opportunities to help ensure potential successor readiness.  

11

Employee Engagement:

In order to ensure we are delivering on our human capital initiatives and better understand our employees’ experience, we 
regularly conduct employee engagement surveys. In 2019, we achieved a 97% response rate with our survey with more than 
90% of our employees indicating: 

•

•
•

They are aware of the company mission and vision and have a clear understanding of the goals and objectives of the 
company; 
Their team is committed to doing high quality work; and
Their manager treats them with respect and cares about them. 

With  the  goal  of  continuous  performance  improvement  we  are  focused  on  further  strengthening  cross-functional  team 
work including how team members communicate and hold each other accountable. Examples of specific actions we have taken 
in response to employee survey feedback include institution of all-employee training on cross-functional teamwork and how to 
have crucial conversations.

We hold frequent all-employee meetings that serve as a forum to share progress on strategy and corporate goals, celebrate 
achievements, and share best practices and learnings. In 2020 and continuing in 2021 we have increased the frequency of our 
all-employee  meetings  from  monthly  to  every  other  week  while  implementing  our  work-from-home  strategy  in  response  to 
COVID-19, in order to keep employees well-informed and connected and to addresses their questions.

Management  tracks  and  assesses  retention  and  attrition  and  interviews  departing  employees  in  order  to  identify  any 

addressable trends.

Compensation & Benefits:
Our compensation and benefits programs, with oversight from the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, 
are designed to attract, retain and reward employees through competitive salaries, annual bonus eligibility, stock awards grants 
to all employees, a 401(k) Plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, 
family  leave,  and  employee  assistance  programs.  Each  year  we  conduct  surveys  to  benchmark  our  salaries  and  benefits  and 
confirm we are satisfied with the competitiveness of our total compensation offering. We also provide a variety of peer-to-peer 
and corporate recognition programs to celebrate and recognize our employees for their hard work and contributions.

Employee Health and Safety:

We  are  dedicated  to  promoting  the  health  and  safety  of  our  employees  because  we  believe  it  fosters  employee 
productivity and job performance. We have developed and implemented annual workplace safety training which is intended to 
remind our employees of workplace safety procedures that may be useful in the event of emergency situations and to assist our 
employees  in  helping  to  prevent  workplace  accidents.  We  have  established  a  Safety  Committee  which  meets  on  a  quarterly 
basis to review workplace safety and adherence to safety policies.  Further, our Code of Conduct emphasizes our commitment 
to  preventing  unlawful  employment  discrimination  and  workplace  harassment  including  mandatory,  on  going  sexual 
harassment training and provides a mechanism for reporting any violations of this policy.  

Our response to COVID-19:

Because we take the health and safety of our employees, their families and our local communities very seriously, we have 
implemented the following actions to protect against the transmission of COVID-19 in our office and in the local community, 
while ensuring that critical work continues:

•

•
•

Restricted  access  to  our  office  to  only  Halozyme  personnel  necessary  to  carry  out  essential  activities.    All  other 
employees are currently working from home.
Required self-health check, and on-site temperature screening for all on-site personnel.
Required  virtual,  rather  than  in-person,  interactions  to  continue  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  customers,  partners  and 
contractors.
Restricted all air travel. 

•
• Disinfection of all common areas, door handles, restrooms, and kitchens multiple times daily, and regular after-hours 

•

disinfection of all non-laboratory areas with state-of-the-art electrostatic sanitization.	
Upgraded all HVAC systems to MERV-13 filtration throughout our campus and introduction of supplementary HEPA 
filtration in conference rooms and select open office areas.

Corporate Citizenship:

We  believe  in  supporting  the  community  in  which  we  work  and  provide  our  employees  multiple  opportunities  to 

contribute to the community, including providing company-wide community service days/volunteerism supporting:

•
•
•
•
•
•

STEM education;
Human services (e.g., food drives, home builds, meal services);
Environmental organizations (e.g., lagoon cleanup events, park restoration);
Children/Military (e.g., school supply drives, holiday adopt-a-family, playhouse builds, paracord builds);
Cultural/diversity relations; and
Patient/healthcare advocacy groups.

Risk Factors

Risks Related To Our Business

Business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak or similar public health crises could cause a disruption of 
the development of our collaboration partners’ product candidates and commercialization of approved products, impede 
our  ability  to  supply  bulk  rHuPH20  to  our  partners  or  procure  and  sell  Hylenex  and  otherwise  adversely  impact  our 
business and results of operations.

Public health crises such as pandemics or similar outbreaks could adversely impact our business and results of operations 
by, among other things, disrupting the development of our collaboration partners’ product candidates and commercialization of 
our partners’ approved products, disrupting our ability to enter into new ENHANZE collaborations with potential partners in a 
timely  manner,  causing  disruptions  in  the  operations  of  our  third  party  contract  manufacturing  organizations  upon  whom  we 
rely for the production and supply of our commercial product Hylenex and the bulk rHuPH20 we supply to our partners, and 
causing other disruptions to our operations.  For example, the outbreak of a coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, has rapidly 
evolved into a global pandemic and has spread to most regions of the world including the city of San Diego, California where 
our main office is located.

The  COVID-19  pandemic  is  evolving,  and  to  date  has  led  to  the  implementation  of  various  responses,  including 
government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures. The extent to which COVID-19 
and its variants impacts our operations and/or those of our collaboration partners will depend on future developments, which are 
highly  uncertain  and  unpredictable,  including  the  duration  or  recurrence  of  the  outbreak,  additional  or  modified  government 
actions,  new  information  that  will  emerge  concerning  the  severity  and  impact  of  COVID-19  and  the  actions  to  contain 
COVID-19 or address its impact in the short and long term, among others.

We have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by taking a number of actions including closing our offices in San Diego 
in March 2020, requesting that most of our personnel work remotely and restricting access to our facilities mostly to personnel 
who perform critical activities that must be completed on-site in accordance with California’s initial statewide shelter-in-place 
order and ongoing guidances. Increased reliance on personnel working from home may have a negative impact on productivity, 
or  disrupt,  delay  or  otherwise  adversely  impact  business,  by,  among  other  things,  increasing  cyber  security  risk,  impeding 
access  to  information  that  would  be  helpful  to  pursue  our  business  objectives  or  disrupting  our  communications.  We  are 
continuing to monitor the situation and currently do not have an estimate of the timing for all employees returning to the office 
for work.

The business disruptions associated with a global pandemic could impact the business, product development priorities and 
operations  of  our  collaboration  partners,  including  potential  delays  in  manufacturing  their  product  candidates  or  approved 
products.  For  example,  some  of  our  collaboration  partners  are  conducting  or  are  planning  to  conduct  clinical  trials  in 
geographies  affected  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  progress  or  completion  of  these  clinical  trials  could  be  adversely 
impacted by the pandemic. Additionally, interruption or delays in the operations of the FDA, the EMA and other similar foreign 
regulatory  agencies,  or  changes  in  regulatory  priorities  to  focus  on  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  may  affect  required  regulatory 
review,  inspection,  clearance  and  approval  timelines.  Disruptions  such  as  these  could  result  in  delays  in  the  development 
programs  of  our  collaboration  products  or  impede  the  commercial  efforts  for  approved  products,  resulting  in  potential 
reductions or delays in our revenues from collaborator royalty or milestone payments.  We do not know the extent to which our 
collaboration partners’ development programs or product commercialization efforts will be impacted or delayed.

We rely on third party manufacturers to manufacture the bulk rHuPH20 that we supply to our collaboration partners for 
their  commercial  products  and  product  candidates,  as  well  as  our  commercial  product  Hylenex.  If  any  such  third  party 
manufacturer  is  adversely  impacted  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  related  consequences,  including  staffing  shortages, 
production  slowdowns  and  disruptions  in  delivery  systems,  availability  of  raw  materials,  reagents  or  components  or  if  they 
divert resources or manufacturing capacity to accommodate the development of coronavirus treatments or vaccines, our supply 
chain may be disrupted, limiting our ability to sell Hylenex or supply bulk rHuPH20 to our collaboration partners. Any such 
disruptions could result in reductions or delays in our revenues.

The effects of COVID-19 could worsen in countries that are already afflicted with the coronavirus which could further 
adversely  impact  our  ability  to  conduct  our  business  and  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  operations,  financial 
condition and results. We do not yet know the full extent of the impact that COVID-19 may or will have on our business.

In addition, the trading prices for our common shares and other biopharmaceutical companies have been highly volatile as 
a  result  of  market  and  investor  reactions  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  its  potential  consequences.  As  a  result,  access  to 
sources of financing, should those be needed, may be more difficult and/or expensive. In addition, a recession, depression or 
other  sustained  adverse  market  event  resulting  from  the  spread  of  the  coronavirus  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our 
business and the value of our common shares.

13

We have generated only limited revenues to date and we have a history of net losses and negative cash flows.

Relative to expenses incurred in our operations, we have generated only limited revenues from product sales, royalties, 
licensing  fees,  milestone  payments,  bulk  rHuPH20  supply  payments  and  research  reimbursements  to  date.  Through 
December  31,  2020,  we  have  incurred  aggregate  net  losses  of  $474.6  million.  Although  we  expect  to  maintain  sustainable 
profitability, unexpected declines in revenues and increases in expenses could inhibit our ability to sustain profitability.

If partners’ product candidates do not receive and maintain regulatory approvals, or if approvals are not obtained in a 
timely manner, such failure or delay would substantially impair our ability to generate revenues.

Approval from the FDA or equivalent health authorities is necessary to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products 
in the U.S. and the other countries in which we anticipate doing business have similar requirements. The process for obtaining 
FDA and other regulatory approvals is extensive, time-consuming, risky and costly, and there is no guarantee that the FDA or 
other regulatory bodies will approve any applications that may be filed with respect to any of our partners’ product candidates, 
or that the timing of any such approval will be appropriate for the desired product launch schedule for a product candidate. We 
and our collaborators attempt to provide guidance as to the timing for the filing and acceptance of such regulatory approvals, 
but  such  filings  and  approvals  may  not  occur  when  we  or  our  collaborators  expect,  or  at  all.  The  FDA  or  other  foreign 
regulatory agency may refuse or delay approval of our partners’ product candidates for failure to collect sufficient clinical or 
animal safety data and require our collaborators to conduct additional clinical or animal safety studies which may cause lengthy 
delays  and  increased  costs  to  our  partners’  development  programs.  Any  such  issues  associated  with  rHuPH20  could  have  an 
adverse impact on future development of our partners’ products which include rHuPH20, future sales of Hylenex recombinant, 
or our ability to maintain our existing collaborations or enter into new collaborations.

We and our collaborators may not be successful in obtaining approvals for any additional potential products in a timely 
manner, or at all. Refer to the risk factor titled “Our collaboration product candidates may not receive regulatory approvals or 
their  development  may  be  delayed  for  a  variety  of  reasons,  including  delayed  or  unsuccessful  clinical  trials,  regulatory 
requirements or safety concerns” for additional information relating to the approval of product candidates. 

Additionally,  even  with  respect  to  products  which  have  been  approved  for  commercialization,  in  order  to  continue  to 
manufacture and market pharmaceutical products, we or our collaborators must maintain our regulatory approvals. If we or any 
of  our  collaborators  are  unsuccessful  in  maintaining  our  regulatory  approvals,  our  ability  to  generate  revenues  would  be 
adversely affected.

Use of Hylenex and the products and product candidates of our partners’ could be associated with side effects or adverse 
events.

As with most pharmaceutical products, use of Hylenex and the products and product candidates of our collaborators could 
be  associated  with  side  effects  or  adverse  events  which  can  vary  in  severity  (from  minor  reactions  to  death)  and  frequency 
(infrequent  or  prevalent).  Side  effects  or  adverse  events  associated  with  the  use  of  Hylenex  and  the  products  or  product 
candidates of our collaborators may be observed at any time, including in clinical trials or when a product is commercialized, 
and  any  such  side  effects  or  adverse  events  may  negatively  affect  our  or  our  collaborators’  ability  to  obtain  or  maintain 
regulatory  approval  or  market    such  products  and  product  candidates.  Side  effects  such  as  toxicity  or  other  safety  issues 
associated  with  the  use  of  Hylenex  and  the  products  and  product  candidates  of  our  collaborators  could  require  us  or  our 
collaborators to perform additional studies or halt development or commercialization of these products and product candidates 
or  expose  us  to  product  liability  lawsuits  which  will  harm  our  business.  For  example,  several  years  ago  we  experienced  a 
clinical  hold  on  patient  enrollment  and  dosing  in  our  phase  2  study  of  PEGPH20  in  patients  with  PDA  (a  discontinued 
program),  which  was  not  resolved  until  we  implemented  steps  to  address  an  observed  possible  difference  in  TE  event  rates 
between the arms of the study. We or our collaborators may be required by regulatory agencies to conduct additional animal or 
human  studies  regarding  the  safety  and  efficacy  of  our  pharmaceutical  products  or  product  candidates  which  we  have  not 
planned or anticipated. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we or our collaborators will resolve any issues related to 
any product or product candidate side effects or adverse events to the satisfaction of the FDA or any regulatory agency in a 
timely manner or ever, which could harm our business, prospects and financial condition.

If  our  contract  manufacturers  or  vendors  are  unable  to  manufacture  and  supply  to  us  bulk  rHuPH20  or  other  raw 
materials,  reagents  or  components  in  the  quantity  and  quality  required  by  us  or  our  collaborators  for  use  in  the 
production of Hylenex or our partners’ products and product candidates, our Hylenex Commercialization efforts or our 
partners’ product development and commercialization efforts could be delayed or stopped and our business and results of 
operations and our collaborations could be harmed.

We  have  existing  supply  agreements  with  contract  manufacturing  organizations  Avid  Bioservices,  Inc.  (Avid)  and 
Catalent  Indiana LLC (Catalent) to produce bulk rHuPH20. These manufacturers each produce bulk rHuPH20 under cGMP for 
use  in  Hylenex  recombinant,  and  for  use  in  collaboration  products  and  product  candidates.  We  rely  on  their  ability  to 
successfully  manufacture  bulk  rHuPH20  according  to  product  specifications.  In  addition  to  supply  obligations,  our  contract 
manufacturers also provide support for the chemistry, manufacturing and controls sections for FDA and other regulatory filings. 

14

We also rely on vendors to supply us with raw materials to produce reagents and other materials for bioanalytical assays used to 
support our partners’ clinical trials. We also have a commercial manufacturing and supply agreement with Patheon under which 
Patheon  provides  the  final  fill  and  finishing  steps  in  the  production  process  of  Hylenex  recombinant.  If  any  of  our  contract 
manufacturers or vendors: (i) is unable to retain its status as an FDA approved manufacturing facility; (ii) is unable to otherwise 
successfully  scale  up  bulk  rHuPH20  production  to  meet  corporate  or  regulatory  authority  quality  standards;  (iii)  is  unable  to 
procure raw materials, reagents or components necessary to produce bulk rHuPH20, Hylenex recombinant or our bioanalytical 
assays  or (iv) fails to manufacture and supply bulk rHuPH20 in the quantity and quality required by us or our collaborators for 
use in Hylenex and collaboration products and product candidates for any other reason, our business will be adversely affected. 
In  addition,  a  significant  change  in  such  parties’  or  other  third  party  manufacturers’  business  or  financial  condition  could 
adversely  affect  their  abilities  to  fulfill  their  contractual  obligations  to  us.  We  have  not  established,  and  may  not  be  able  to 
establish,  favorable  arrangements  with  additional  bulk  rHuPH20  manufacturers  and  suppliers  of  the  ingredients  necessary  to 
manufacture  bulk  rHuPH20  should  the  existing  manufacturers  and  suppliers  become  unavailable  or  in  the  event  that  our 
existing manufacturers and suppliers are unable to adequately perform their responsibilities. We have attempted to mitigate the 
impact of a potential supply interruption through the establishment of excess bulk rHuPH20 inventory where possible, but there 
can be no assurances that this safety stock will be maintained or that it will be sufficient to address any delays, interruptions or 
other  problems  experienced  by  any  of  our  contract  manufacturers.  Any  delays,  interruptions  or  other  problems  regarding  the 
ability of any of our contract manufacturers to supply bulk rHuPH20 or the ability of other third party manufacturers, to supply 
other raw materials or ingredients necessary to produce our products on a timely basis could: (i) cause the delay of our partners’ 
clinical trials or otherwise delay or prevent the regulatory approval of our partners’ product candidates; (ii) delay or prevent the 
effective  commercialization  of  Hylenex  or  collaboration  products  and  product  candidates;  and/or  (iii)  cause  us  to  breach 
contractual obligations to deliver bulk rHuPH20 to our collaborators. Such delays would likely damage our relationship with 
our  collaborators,  and  they  would  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  royalties  and  thus  our  business  and  financial  condition. 
Additionally,  we  rely  on  third  parties  to  manufacture,  prepare,  fill,  finish,  package,  store  and  ship  our  product  and  partners’ 
product  candidates  on  our  behalf.  If  the  third  parties  we  identify  fail  to  perform  their  obligations,  the  progress  of  partners’ 
clinical  trials  could  be  delayed  or  even  suspended  and  the  commercialization  of  our  product  and  partner  products  could  be 
delayed or prevented.

If we or any party to a key collaboration agreement fail to perform material obligations under such agreement, or if a key 
collaboration agreement, is terminated for any reason, our business could significantly suffer.

We have entered into multiple collaboration agreements under which we may receive significant future payments in the 
form  of  milestone  payments,  target  designation  fees,  maintenance  fees  and  royalties.  We  are  heavily  dependent  on  our 
collaborators  to  develop  and  commercialize  product  candidates  subject  to  our  collaborations  in  order  for  us  to  realize  any 
financial benefits from these collaborations. Our collaborators may not devote the attention and resources to such efforts that we 
would  ourselves,  change  their  clinical  development  plans,  promotional  efforts  or  simultaneously  develop  and  commercialize 
products in competition to those products we have licensed to them. Any of these actions could not be visible to us immediately 
and could negatively impact our ability to forecast and our ability to achieve the benefits and revenue we receive from such 
collaboration.  In  addition,  in  the  event  that  a  party  fails  to  perform  under  a  key  collaboration  agreement,  or  if  a  key 
collaboration agreement is terminated, the reduction in anticipated revenues could negatively impact our operations. In addition, 
the termination of a key collaboration agreement by one or more of our collaborators could have a material adverse impact our 
ability  to  enter  into  additional  collaboration  agreements  with  new  collaborators  on  favorable  terms,  if  at  all.  In  certain 
circumstances, the termination of a key collaboration agreement would require us to revise our corporate strategy going forward 
and reevaluate the applications and value of our technology.

Hylenex and our partners’ products and product candidates rely on the rHuPH20 enzyme, and any adverse development 
regarding  rHuPH20  could  substantially  impact  multiple  areas  of  our  business,  including  current  and  potential 
collaborations, as well as any proprietary programs.

rHuPH20  is  a  key  technological  component  of  Hylenex  and  our  ENHANZE  technology  and  most  of  our  collaboration 
products  and  product  candidates,  including  the  current  and  future  products  and  product  candidates  under  our  ENHANZE 
collaborations. If there is an adverse development for rHuPH20 (e.g., an adverse regulatory determination relating to rHuPH20, 
if we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities of rHuPH20, if we are unable to obtain or maintain material proprietary rights to 
rHuPH20 or if we discover negative characteristics of rHuPH20), multiple areas of our business, including current and potential 
collaborations, as well as proprietary programs would be substantially impacted. For example, elevated anti-rHuPH20 antibody 
titers were detected in the registration trial for Baxalta’s HYQVIA product as well as in a former collaborator’s product in a 
Phase  2  clinical  trial  with  rHuPH20,  but  have  not  been  associated,  in  either  case,  with  any  adverse  events.  We  monitor  for 
antibodies  to  rHuPH20  in  our  collaboration  and  proprietary  programs,  and  although  we  do  not  believe  at  this  time  that  the 
incidence  of  non-neutralizing  anti-rHuPH20  antibodies  in  either  the  HYQVIA  program  or  the  former  collaborator’s  program 
will  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  proprietary  product  and  our  partners’  product  and  product  candidates,  there  can  be  no 
assurance that there will not be other such occurrences in the foregoing programs or that concerns regarding these antibodies 
will not also be raised by the FDA or other health authorities in the future, which could result in delays or discontinuations of 

15

our Hylenex commercialization activities, the development or commercialization activities of our partners, or deter our entry 
into additional collaborations with third parties. 

Our business strategy and our strategic focus is currently limited to only a few fields or applications of our technology 
which may increase the risk for potential negative impact from adverse developments. Future expansion of our strategic 
focus to additional applications of our technology may require the use of additional resources, result in increased expense 
and ultimately may not be successful.

We routinely evaluate our business strategy, and may modify this strategy in the future in light of our assessment of unmet 
medical needs, growth potential, resource requirements, regulatory issues, competition, risks and other factors. As a result of 
these  strategic  evaluations,  we  may  focus  our  resources  and  efforts  on  one  or  a  few  programs  or  fields  and  may  suspend  or 
reduce our efforts on other programs and fields. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we decided to focus our resources 
on  our  ENHANZE  technology  and  our  commercial  product,  Hylenex.  By  focusing  on  these  areas,  we  increase  the  potential 
impact on us if one of those partner programs does not successfully complete clinical trials, achieve commercial acceptance or 
meet  expectations  regarding  sales  and  revenue.  We  may  also  expand  our  strategic  focus  by  seeking  new  therapeutics 
applications  of  our  technology  which  may  require  the  use  of  additional  resources,  increased  expense  and  would  require  the 
attention  of  senior  management.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  any  such  investment  of  resources  would  ultimately  result  in 
additional approved collaboration products or commercial success of new therapeutic applications of our technology.

Our  collaboration  product  candidates  may  not  receive  regulatory  approvals  or  their  development  may  be  delayed  for  a 
variety of reasons, including delayed or unsuccessful clinical trials, regulatory requirements or safety concerns.

Clinical testing of pharmaceutical products is a long, expensive and uncertain process, and the failure or delay of a clinical 
trial can occur at any stage, including the patient enrollment stage. Even if initial results of preclinical and nonclinical studies or 
clinical trial results are promising, our collaborators may obtain different results in subsequent trials or studies that fail to show 
the desired levels of dose safety and efficacy, or our collaborators may not, obtain applicable regulatory approval for a variety 
of other reasons. Preclinical, nonclinical, and clinical trials for collaboration product candidates could be unsuccessful, which 
would  delay  or  preclude  regulatory  approval  and  commercialization  of  the  product  candidates.  In  the  U.S.  and  other 
jurisdictions, regulatory approval can be delayed, limited or not granted for many reasons, including, among others:

•

•

•
•

•

•

•
•

•

•

•

during the course of clinical studies, the final data may differ from initial reported data, and clinical results may 
not meet prescribed endpoints for the studies or otherwise provide sufficient data to support the efficacy of our 
collaborators’ product candidates;
clinical  and  nonclinical  test  results  may  reveal  inferior  pharmacokinetics,  side  effects,  adverse  events  or 
unexpected safety issues associated with the use of our collaborators’ product candidates;
regulatory review may not find that the data from preclinical testing and clinical trials justifies approval;
regulatory authorities may require that our partners change their studies or conduct additional studies which may 
significantly delay or make continued pursuit of approval commercially unattractive; 
a regulatory agency may reject partner trial data or disagree with their interpretations of either clinical trial data or 
applicable regulations;
a  regulatory  agency  may  require  additional  safety  monitoring  and  reporting  through  Risk  Evaluation  and 
Mitigation Strategies or conditions to assure safe use programs;
a partner may decide to not pursue regulatory approval for such a product;
a regulatory agency may not approve our manufacturing processes or facilities, or the processes or facilities of our 
collaborators, our contract manufacturers or our raw material suppliers;
a  regulatory  agency  may  identify  problems  or  other  deficiencies  in  our  existing  manufacturing  processes  or 
facilities, or the existing processes or facilities of our collaborators, our contract manufacturers or our raw material 
suppliers; 
a  regulatory  agency  may  change  its  formal  or  informal  approval  requirements  and  policies,  act  contrary  to 
previous guidance, adopt new regulations or raise new issues or concerns late in the approval process; or
a partner product candidate may be approved only for indications that are narrow or under conditions that place 
the  product  at  a  competitive  disadvantage,  which  may  limit  the  sales  and  marketing  activities  for  such  product 
candidate or otherwise adversely impact the commercial potential of a product.

If a collaboration product candidate is not approved in a timely fashion or obtained on commercially viable terms, or if 
development of any product candidate is terminated due to difficulties or delays encountered in the regulatory approval process, 
it could have a material adverse impact on our business, and we would become more dependent on the development of other 
collaboration product candidates and/or our ability to successfully acquire other technologies. There can be no assurances that 
any collaboration product candidate will receive regulatory approval in a timely manner, or at all. There can be no assurance 
that  partners  will  be  able  to  gain  clarity  as  to  the  FDA’s  requirements  or  that  the  requirements  may  be  satisfied  in  a 
commercially  feasible  way,  in  which  case  our  ability  to  enter  into  collaborations  with  third  parties  or  explore  other  strategic 
alternatives to exploit an opportunity will be limited or may not be possible.

16

We anticipate that certain collaboration products will be marketed, and perhaps manufactured, in foreign countries. The 
process of obtaining regulatory approvals in foreign countries is subject to delay and failure for the reasons set forth above, as 
well as for reasons that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The approval process varies among countries and jurisdictions and 
can  involve  additional  testing.  The  time  required  to  obtain  approval  may  differ  from  that  required  to  obtain  FDA  approval. 
Foreign  regulatory  agencies  may  not  provide  approvals  on  a  timely  basis,  if  at  all.  Approval  by  the  FDA  does  not  ensure 
approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions, and approval by one foreign regulatory authority does not 
ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or jurisdictions or by the FDA.

Our third party collaborators are responsible for providing certain proprietary materials that are essential components of 
our collaboration products and product candidates, and any failure to supply these materials could delay the development 
and commercialization efforts for these collaboration products and product candidates and/or damage our collaborations.

Our development and commercialization collaborators are responsible for providing certain proprietary materials that are 
essential components of our collaboration products and product candidates. For example, Roche is responsible for producing 
the  Herceptin  and  MabThera  required  for  its  subcutaneous  products  and  Baxalta  is  responsible  for  producing  the 
GAMMAGARD  LIQUID  for  its  product  HYQVIA.  If  a  collaborator,  or  any  applicable  third  party  service  provider  of  a 
collaborator, encounters difficulties in the manufacture, storage, delivery, fill, finish or packaging of the collaboration product 
or product candidate or component of such product or product candidate, such difficulties could (i) cause the delay of clinical 
trials or otherwise delay or prevent the regulatory approval of collaboration product candidates; and/or (ii) delay or prevent the 
effective  commercialization  of  collaboration  products.  Such  delays  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and 
financial condition. 

If we or our collaborators fail to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to promotion, sale and manufacturing of 
approved products, regulatory agencies may take action against us or them, which could significantly harm our business.

Any  approved  products,  along  with  the  manufacturing  processes,  post-approval  clinical  data,  labeling,  advertising  and 
promotional  activities  for  these  products,  are  subject  to  continual  requirements  and  review  by  the  FDA,  state  and  foreign 
regulatory  bodies.  Regulatory  authorities  subject  a  marketed  product,  its  manufacturer  and  the  manufacturing  facilities  to 
continual review and periodic inspections. We, our collaborators and our respective contractors, suppliers and vendors, will be 
subject  to  ongoing  regulatory  requirements,  including  complying  with  regulations  and  laws  regarding  advertising,  promotion 
and  sales  of  drug  products,  required  submissions  of  safety  and  other  post-market  information  and  reports,  registration 
requirements,  cGMP  regulations  (including  requirements  relating  to  quality  control  and  quality  assurance,  as  well  as  the 
corresponding  maintenance  of  records  and  documentation),  and  the  requirements  regarding  the  distribution  of  samples  to 
physicians and recordkeeping requirements. Regulatory agencies may change existing requirements or adopt new requirements 
or policies. We, our collaborators and our respective contractors, suppliers and vendors, may be slow to adapt or may not be 
able to adapt to these changes or new requirements.

In  particular,  regulatory  requirements  applicable  to  pharmaceutical  products  make  the  substitution  of  suppliers  and 
manufacturers costly and time consuming. We have minimal internal manufacturing capabilities and are, and expect to be in the 
future, entirely dependent on contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of our products and for their active and 
other  ingredients.  The  disqualification  of  these  manufacturers  and  suppliers  through  their  failure  to  comply  with  regulatory 
requirements could negatively impact our business because the delays and costs in obtaining and qualifying alternate suppliers 
(if such alternative suppliers are available, which we cannot assure) could delay our partners’ clinical trials or otherwise inhibit 
our or  partners’ ability to bring approved products to market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and 
financial condition. Likewise, if we, our collaborators and our respective contractors, suppliers and vendors involved in sales 
and promotion of our products do not comply with applicable laws and regulations, for example off-label or false or misleading 
promotion, this could materially harm our business and financial condition.

Failure to comply with regulatory requirements may result in any of the following:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

restrictions on our or our partners’ products or manufacturing processes;
warning letters;
withdrawal of our or our partners’ products from the market;
voluntary or mandatory recall;
fines;
suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;
suspension or termination of any of our partners’ ongoing clinical trials;
refusal to permit the import or export of our or our partners’ products;
refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;
product seizure; 
injunctions; or
imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such 
funds.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operations and for general corporate purposes if revenues 
do  not  occur  as  expected.  Our  current  cash  reserves  and  expected  revenues  may  not  be  sufficient  for  us  to  fund  general 
operations and conduct our business at the level desired. In addition, if we engage in acquisitions of companies, products or 
technologies in order to execute our business strategy, we may need to raise additional capital. We may raise additional capital 
in the future through one or more financing vehicles that may be available to us including (i) new collaborative agreements;  
(ii) expansions or revisions to existing collaborative relationships; (iii) private financings; (iv) other equity or debt financings; 
(v) monetizing assets; and/or (vi) the public offering of securities.

If we are required to raise additional capital in the future, it may not be available on favorable financing terms within the 
time required, or at all. If additional capital is not available on favorable terms when needed, we will be required to raise capital 
on adverse terms or significantly reduce operating expenses through the restructuring of our operations or deferral of strategic 
business  initiatives.  If  we  raise  additional  capital  through  a  public  offering  of  securities  or  equity,  a  substantial  number  of 
additional  shares  may  be  issued,  which  may  negatively  affect  our  stock  price  and  these  additional  shares  will  dilute  the 
ownership interest of our current investors.

We  currently  have  significant  debt  and  may  incur  additional  debt.  Failure  by  us  to  fulfill  our  obligations  under  the 
applicable debt agreements may cause the repayment obligations to accelerate.

The aggregate amount of our consolidated indebtedness, net of debt discount, as of December 31, 2020 was $397.2 million, 
which includes $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (Convertible Notes)  
net of unamortized debt discount of $62.8 million. We also may incur additional indebtedness in the future. 

Our indebtedness may:

• make it difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including making scheduled principal and interest payments 

on our indebtedness;
limit  our  ability  to  borrow  additional  funds  for  working  capital,  capital  expenditures,  acquisitions  or  other  general 
corporate purposes;
limit  our  ability  to  use  our  cash  flow  or  obtain  additional  financing  for  future  working  capital,  capital  expenditures, 
acquisitions, share repurchases or other general business purposes;
require us to use a portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments;
limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and
increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

Our  ability  to  make  payments  on  our  existing  or  any  future  debt  will  depend  on  our  future  operating  performance  and 
ability to generate cash and may also depend on our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. It will also depend on 
financial, business or other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. We will need to use cash to 
pay principal and interest on our debt, thereby reducing the funds available to fund operations, strategic initiatives and working 
capital requirements. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to service our debt obligations, an event of default may occur 
under any of our debt instruments which could result in an acceleration of such debt upon which we may be required to repay 
all the amounts outstanding under some or all of our debt instruments.  Such an acceleration of our debt obligations could harm 
our financial condition. From time to time, we may seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases 
and/or  exchanges  for  equity  or  debt,  in  open-market  purchases,  privately  negotiated  transactions  or  otherwise.  Any  such 
repurchases  or  exchanges  would  be  on  such  terms  and  at  such  prices  as  we  determine,  and  will  depend  on  current  market 
conditions, our liquidity needs, any restrictions in our contracts and other factors. The amounts involved in such transactions 
could be material.

The conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and 
operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes will 
be entitled to convert the notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 
notes,  we  would  be  required  to  settle  a  portion  or  all  of  our  conversion  obligation  in  cash,  which  could  adversely  affect  our 
liquidity.  Even  if  holders  of  the  Convertible  Notes  do  not  elect  to  convert  their  notes,  we  are  required  under  applicable 
accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability 
when  the  conditional  conversion  feature  is  triggered,  which  results  in  a  material  reduction  of  our  net  working  capital.  For 
example, as of December 31, 2020, the conditional conversion feature was triggered and our notes are classified as a current 
liability. 

18

Conversion of our Convertible Notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders or may otherwise depress 
the price of our common stock.

The  conversion  of  some  or  all  of  our  Convertible  Notes,  to  the  extent  we  deliver  shares  upon  conversion,  will  dilute  the 
ownership  interests  of  existing  stockholders.  Any  sales  in  the  public  market  of  the  Convertible  Notes  or  our  common  stock 
issuable  upon  conversion  of  the  Convertible  Notes  could  adversely  affect  prevailing  market  prices  of  our  common  stock.  In 
addition, the existence of the Convertible Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of 
the Convertible Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of 
our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

The accounting method for the Convertible Notes could have a material effect on our reported financial results.

Pursuant  to  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  Accounting  Standards  Codification  Subtopic  470-20,  Debt  with 
Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of 
convertible debt instruments whose conversion may be settled entirely or partially in cash (such as our Convertible Notes) in a 
manner  that  reflects  the  issuer’s  economic  interest  cost  for  non-convertible  debt.  The  liability  component  of  our  Convertible 
Notes was initially valued at the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated equity component and 
was reflected as a liability in our consolidated balance sheet. The equity component of the Convertible Notes was included in 
the additional paid-in capital section of our stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity 
component  was  treated  as  original  issue  discount  for  purposes  of  accounting  for  the  debt  component.  This  original  issue 
discount will be amortized to non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes, and we will record a greater amount of non-
cash interest expense in current periods as a result of this amortization.  Accordingly, we will report lower net income in our 
financial  results  because  ASC  470-20  will  require  the  interest  expense  associated  with  the  notes  to  include  both  the  current 
period’s amortization of the debt discount and the notes’ coupon interest, which could adversely affect our reported or future 
financial results, the trading price of our common stock and the trading price of the Convertible Notes.

If collaboration product candidates are approved for marketing but do not gain market acceptance resulting in commercial 
performance below that which was expected or projected, our business may suffer and we may not be able to fund future 
operations.

Assuming  that  existing  or  future  collaboration  product  candidates  obtain  the  necessary  regulatory  approvals  for 
commercial sale, a number of factors may affect the market acceptance of these newly-approved products, including, among 
others:

•
•
•

•
•

•
•

the degree to which the use of these products is restricted by the approved product label;
the price of these products relative to other therapies for the same or similar treatments;
the extent to which reimbursement for these products and related treatments will be available from third party 
payors including government insurance programs and private insurers;
the introduction of generic or biosimilar competitors to these products; 
the perception by patients, physicians and other members of the health care community of the effectiveness and 
safety  of  these  products  for  their  prescribed  treatments  relative  to  other  therapies  for  the  same  or  similar 
treatments;
the ability and willingness of our collaborators to fund sales and marketing efforts; and
the effectiveness of the sales and marketing efforts of our collaborators.

If these collaboration products do not gain market acceptance resulting in commercial performance below that which was 
expected or projected, the royalties we expect to receive from these products will be diminished which could harm our ability to 
fund future operations, including conduct acquisitions, execute our planned share repurchases, or affect our ability to use funds 
for other general corporate purposes and cause our business to suffer.

In addition, our partners’ product candidates will be restricted to the labels approved by FDA and applicable regulatory 
bodies,  and  these  restrictions  may  limit  the  marketing  and  promotion  of  the  ultimate  products.  If  the  approved  labels  are 
restrictive, the sales and marketing efforts for these collaboration products may be negatively affected.

Our ability to license our ENHANZE technology to our collaboration partners depends on the validity of our patents and 
other proprietary rights.   

Patents and other proprietary rights are essential to our business. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain 
and maintain patent protection for our inventions, to preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing the proprietary 
rights  of  third  parties.  We  have  multiple  patents  and  patent  applications  throughout  the  world  pertaining  to  our  recombinant 
human hyaluronidase and methods of use and manufacture, including an issued U.S. patent which expires in 2027 and an issued 
European  patent  which  expires  in  2024,  which  we  believe  cover  the  products  and  product  candidates  under  our  existing 
collaborations,  and  Hylenex.  Although  we  believe  our  patent  filings  represent  a  barrier  to  entry  for  potential  competitors 
looking  to  utilize  these  hyaluronidases,  upon  expiration  of  our  patents  other  pharmaceutical  companies  may  (if  they  do  not 

19

infringe  our  other  patents)  seek  to  compete  with  us  by  developing,  manufacturing  and  selling  biosimilars  to  the  active  drug 
ingredient in our ENHANZE technology used by our collaboration partners in combination with their products. Any such loss 
of  patent  protection  or  proprietary  rights  could  lead  to  a  reduction  or  loss  of  revenues,  incentivize  one  or  more  of  our  key 
ENHANZE collaboration partners to terminate their relationship with us and impact our ability to enter into new collaboration 
and license agreements.

Developing and marketing pharmaceutical products for human use involves significant product liability risks for which 
we currently have limited insurance coverage.

The testing, marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products involves the risk of product liability claims by consumers and 
other  third  parties.  Although  we  maintain  product  liability  insurance  coverage,  product  liability  claims  can  be  high  in  the 
pharmaceutical industry, and our insurance may not sufficiently cover our actual liabilities. If product liability claims were to be 
made against us, it is possible that the liabilities may exceed the limits of our insurance policy, or our insurance carriers may 
deny, or attempt to deny, coverage in certain instances. If a lawsuit against us is successful, then the insurance coverage may 
not  be  sufficient  and  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  business  and  financial  condition.  Furthermore,  various 
distributors of pharmaceutical products require minimum product liability insurance coverage before purchase or acceptance of 
products for distribution. Failure to satisfy these insurance requirements could impede our ability to achieve broad distribution 
of our proposed products, and higher insurance requirements could impose additional costs on us. In addition, since many of 
our collaboration product candidates include the pharmaceutical products of a third party, we run the risk that problems with the 
third party pharmaceutical product will give rise to liability claims against us.

If  our  collaborators  do  not  achieve  projected  development,  clinical,  or  regulatory    goals  in  the  timeframes    publicly 
announced or otherwise expected, the commercialization of our collaboration products may be delayed and, as a result, 
our stock price may decline, and we may face lawsuits relating to such declines.

From  time  to  time,  our  collaborators  may  publicly  articulate  the  estimated  timing  for  the  accomplishment  of  certain 
scientific,  clinical,  regulatory  and  other  product  development  goals.  The  accomplishment  of  any  goal  is  typically  based  on 
numerous assumptions, and the achievement of a particular goal may be delayed for any number of reasons both within and 
outside of our and our collaborators’ control. If scientific, regulatory, strategic or other factors cause a collaboration partner to 
not meet a goal, regardless of whether that goal has been publicly articulated or not, our stock price may decline rapidly. Stock 
price  declines  may  also  trigger  direct  or  derivative  shareholder  lawsuits.  As  with  any  litigation  proceeding,  the  eventual 
outcome of any legal action is difficult to predict. If any such lawsuits occur, we will incur expenses in connection with the 
defense of these lawsuits, and we may have to pay substantial damages or settlement costs in connection with any resolution 
thereof. Although we have insurance coverage against which we may claim recovery against some of these expenses and costs, 
the amount of coverage may not be adequate to cover the full amount or certain expenses and costs may be outside the scope of 
the  policies  we  maintain.  In  the  event  of  an  adverse  outcome  or  outcomes,  our  business  could  be  materially  harmed  from 
depletion of cash resources, negative impact on our reputation, or restrictions or changes to our governance or other processes 
that may result from any final disposition of the lawsuit. Moreover, responding to and defending pending litigation significantly 
diverts management’s attention from our operations.

In  addition,  the  consistent  failure  to  meet  publicly  announced  milestones  may  erode  the  credibility  of  our  management 

team with respect to future milestone estimates. 

Future acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition.

In  order  to  augment  our  product  pipeline  or  otherwise  strengthen  our  business,  we  may  decide  to  acquire  additional 
businesses, products and technologies. As we have limited experience in evaluating and completing acquisitions, our ability as 
an  organization  to  make  such  acquisitions  is  unproven.  Acquisitions  could  require  significant  capital  infusions  and  could 
involve many risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

we  may  have  to  issue  additional  convertible  debt  or  equity  securities  to  complete  an  acquisition,  which  would 
dilute our stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock;
an acquisition may negatively impact our results of operations because it may require us to amortize or write down 
amounts related to goodwill and other intangible assets, or incur or assume substantial debt or liabilities, or it may 
cause adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges;
we  may  encounter  difficulties  in  assimilating  and  integrating  the  business,  products,  technologies,  personnel  or 
operations of companies that we acquire;
certain acquisitions may impact our relationship with existing or potential collaborators who are competitive with 
the acquired business, products or technologies;
acquisitions may require significant capital infusions and the acquired businesses, products or technologies may 
not generate sufficient value to justify acquisition costs;
we may take on liabilities from the acquired company such as debt, legal liabilities or business risk which could be 
significant;

•

an  acquisition  may  disrupt  our  ongoing  business,  divert  resources,  increase  our  expenses  and  distract  our 
management;
acquisitions  may  involve  the  entry  into  a  geographic  or  business  market  in  which  we  have  little  or  no  prior 
experience; and
key personnel of an acquired company may decide not to work for us.

If any of these risks occurred, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. There is no 
assurance that we will be able to identify or consummate any future acquisitions on acceptable terms, or at all. If we do pursue 
any acquisitions, it is possible that we may not realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions or that the market will not 
view such acquisitions positively.

Risks Related To Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our stock price is subject to significant volatility.

We participate in a highly dynamic industry which often results in significant volatility in the market price of common 
stock  irrespective  of  company  performance.  The  high  and  low  sales  prices  of  our  common  stock  during  the  twelve  months 
ended  December  31,  2020  were  $44.53  and  $12.71,  respectively.  We  expect  our  stock  price  to  continue  to  be  subject  to 
significant volatility and, in addition to the other risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K and all other risks and uncertainties that are either not known to us at this time or which we deem to be immaterial, any of the 
following factors may lead to a significant drop in our stock price:

the presence of competitive products to those being developed by our partners;
failure  (actual  or  perceived)  of  our  collaborators  to  devote  attention  or  resources  to  the  development  or 
commercialization of products or product candidates licensed to such collaborator;
a dispute regarding our failure, or the failure of one of our third party collaborators, to comply with the terms of a 
collaboration agreement; 
the termination, for any reason, of any of our collaboration agreements;
the sale of common stock by any significant stockholder, including, but not limited to, direct or indirect sales by 
members of management or our Board of Directors;
the resignation, or other departure, of members of management or our Board of Directors;
general negative conditions in the healthcare industry;
pandemics or other global crises;
general negative conditions in the financial markets;
the cost associated with obtaining regulatory approval for any of our collaboration product candidates;
the failure, for any reason, to secure or defend our intellectual property position;
the failure or delay of applicable regulatory bodies to approve our partners’ product candidates;
identification of safety or tolerability issues;
failure of our partners’ clinical trials to meet efficacy endpoints;
suspensions or delays in the conduct of our partners’ clinical trials or securing of regulatory approvals;
adverse regulatory action with respect to our and our collaborators’ products and product candidates such as loss 
of  regulatory  approval  to  commercialize  such  products,  clinical  holds,  imposition  of  onerous  requirements  for 
approval or product recalls;
our  failure,  or  the  failure  of  our  third  party  collaborators,  to  successfully  commercialize  products  approved  by 
applicable regulatory bodies such as the FDA;
our failure, or the failure of our third party collaborators, to generate product revenues anticipated by investors;
disruptions  in  our  clinical  or  commercial  supply  chains,  including  disruptions  caused  by  problems  with  a  bulk 
rHuPH20  contract  manufacturer  or  a  fill  and  finish  manufacturer  for  any  product  or  product  collaboration 
candidate; 
the sale of additional debt and/or equity securities by us;
our failure to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all; 
a restructuring of our operations;
an inability to execute our share repurchase program in the time and manner we expect due to market, business, 
legal or other considerations; or 
a conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock.

Future transactions where we raise capital may negatively affect our stock price.

We are currently a “Well-Known Seasoned Issuer” and may file automatic shelf registration statements at any time with 
the  SEC.  Sales  of  substantial  amounts  of  shares  of  our  common  stock  or  other  securities  under  our  current  or  future  shelf 
registration statements could lower the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale 
of equity securities.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, the Indenture and Delaware law may make an acquisition of us more 
difficult.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, the Indenture and Delaware law may make an acquisition of us more 
difficult.  First,  our  Board  of  Directors  is  classified  into  three  classes  of  directors.  Under  Delaware  law,  directors  of  a 
corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides 
otherwise.  Our  amended  and  restated  certificate  of  incorporation,  as  amended,  does  not  provide  otherwise.  In  addition,  our 
bylaws  limit  who  may  call  special  meetings  of  stockholders,  permitting  only  stockholders  holding  at  least  50%  of  our 
outstanding  shares  to  call  a  special  meeting  of  stockholders.  Our  amended  and  restated  certificate  of  incorporation  does  not 
include a provision for cumulative voting for directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient 
percentage  of  a  class  of  shares  may  be  able  to  ensure  the  election  of  one  or  more  directors.  Finally,  our  bylaws  establish 
procedures,  including  advance  notice  procedures,  with  regard  to  the  nomination  of  candidates  for  election  as  directors  and 
stockholder proposals.

These provisions in our charter documents may discourage potential takeover attempts, discourage bids for our common 
stock at a premium over market price or adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, 
our common stock. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for stockholders to elect 
directors other than the candidates nominated by our board of directors.

Further, in connection with our recent Convertible Notes issuance, we entered into an indenture, dated as of November 18, 
2019, (“Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Certain provisions in the Indenture 
could make it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire us.  For example, if a takeover would constitute a 
fundamental change, holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their Convertible Notes in 
cash.  In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, we may be required to increase the conversion 
rate for holders who convert their Convertible Notes in connection with such takeover.  In either case, and in other cases, our 
obligations  under  the  Convertible  Notes  and  the  Indenture  could  increase  the  cost  of  acquiring  us  or  otherwise  discourage  a 
third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management

In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware 

General Corporation Law, which may prohibit large stockholders from consummating a merger with, or acquisition of, us.

These provisions may deter an acquisition of us that might otherwise be attractive to stockholders.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Our  partners’  products  must  receive  regulatory  approval  before  they  can  be  sold,  and  compliance  with  the  extensive 
government  regulations  is  expensive  and  time  consuming  and  may  result  in  the  delay  or  cancellation  of  collaboration 
product sales, introductions or modifications.

Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business. All pharmaceutical 
companies, including ours, are subject to extensive, complex, costly and evolving regulation by the health regulatory agencies 
including  the  FDA  (and  with  respect  to  controlled  drug  substances,  the  U.S.  Drug  Enforcement  Administration  (DEA))  and 
equivalent foreign regulatory agencies and state and local/regional government agencies. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic 
Act,  the  Controlled  Substances  Act  and  other  domestic  and  foreign  statutes  and  regulations  govern  or  influence  the  testing, 
manufacturing,  packaging,  labeling,  storing,  recordkeeping,  safety,  approval,  advertising,  promotion,  sale  and  distribution  of 
our product and our partners’ products and product candidates. We are dependent on receiving FDA and other governmental 
approvals,  including  regulatory  approvals  in  jurisdictions  outside  the  United  States,  prior  to  manufacturing,  marketing  and 
shipping our products. Consequently, there is always a risk that the FDA or other applicable governmental authorities, including 
those  outside  the  United  States,  will  not  approve  our  partners’  products  or  may  impose  onerous,  costly  and  time-consuming 
requirements  such  as  additional  clinical  or  animal  testing.  Regulatory  authorities  may  require  that  our  partners’  change  our 
studies  or  conduct  additional  studies,  which  may  significantly  delay  or  make  continued  pursuit  of  approval  commercially 
unattractive  to  our  partners.  For  example,  the  approval  of  Baxalta’s  HYQVIA  BLA  was  delayed  by  the  FDA  until  we  and 
Baxalta  provided  additional  preclinical  data  sufficient  to  address  concerns  regarding  non-neutralizing  antibodies  to  rHuPH20 
that were detected in the registration trial. Although these antibodies have not been associated with any known adverse clinical 
effects, and the HYQVIA BLA was ultimately approved by the FDA, the FDA or other foreign regulatory agency may, at any 
time, halt our and our collaborators’ development and commercialization activities due to safety concerns. In addition, even if 
our product or partners’ products are approved, regulatory agencies may also take post-approval action limiting or revoking our 
or our partners’ ability to sell these products. Any of these regulatory actions may adversely affect the economic benefit we may 
derive from our product or our partners’ products and therefore harm our financial condition.

22

Under certain of these regulations, in addition to our partners, we and our contract suppliers and manufacturers are subject 
to periodic inspection of our or their respective facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of products by the FDA, 
the  DEA  and  other  authorities,  which  conduct  periodic  inspections  to  confirm  that  we  and  our  contract  suppliers  and 
manufacturers  are  in  compliance  with  all  applicable  regulations.  The  FDA  also  conducts  pre-approval  and  post-approval 
reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems, or our contract suppliers’ and manufacturers’ processes, are in 
compliance  with  cGMP  and  other  FDA  regulations.  If  our  partners,  we,  or  our  contract  suppliers,  fail  these  inspections,  our 
partners may not be able to commercialize their products in a timely manner without incurring significant additional costs, or at 
all.

In  addition,  the  FDA  imposes  a  number  of  complex  regulatory  requirements  on  entities  that  advertise  and  promote 
pharmaceuticals including, but not limited to, standards and regulations for direct-to-consumer advertising, off-label promotion, 
industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the Internet.

We may be subject, directly or indirectly, to various broad federal and state healthcare laws. If we are unable to comply, or 
have  not  fully  complied,  with  such  laws,  we  could  face  civil,  criminal  and  administrative  penalties,  damages,  monetary 
fines, disgorgement, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, 
contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment or restructuring of our 
operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate.

Our business operations and activities may be directly, or indirectly, subject to various broad federal and state healthcare 
laws,  including  without  limitation,  anti-kickback  laws,  the  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices  Act  (FCPA),  false  claims  laws,  civil 
monetary  penalty  laws,  data  privacy  and  security  laws,  tracing  and  tracking  laws,  as  well  as  transparency  laws  regarding 
payments or other items of value provided to healthcare providers. These laws may restrict or prohibit a wide range of business 
activities,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  research,  manufacturing,  distribution,  pricing,  discounting,  marketing  and  promotion 
and other business arrangements. These laws may impact, among other things, our current activities with principal investigators 
and research subjects, as well as sales, marketing and education programs. Many states have similar healthcare fraud and abuse 
laws,  some  of  which  may  be  broader  in  scope  and  may  not  be  limited  to  items  or  services  for  which  payment  is  made  by  a 
government health care program.

Efforts  to  ensure  that  our  business  arrangements  will  comply  with  applicable  healthcare  laws  may  involve  substantial 
costs.  While  we  have  adopted  a  healthcare  corporate  compliance  program,  it  is  possible  that  governmental  and  enforcement 
authorities  will  conclude  that  our  business  practices  may  not  comply  with  current  or  future  statutes,  regulations  or  case  law 
interpreting applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws. If our operations or activities are found to be in violation of 
any  of  the  laws  described  above  or  any  other  governmental  regulations  that  apply  to  us,  we  may  be  subject  to,  without 
limitation,  civil,  criminal  and  administrative  penalties,  damages,  monetary  fines,  disgorgement,  possible  exclusion  from 
participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished 
profits and future earnings and curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to 
operate.

In addition, any sales of products outside the U.S. will also likely subject us to the FCPA and foreign equivalents of the 

healthcare laws mentioned above, among other foreign laws.

We may be required to initiate or defend against legal proceedings related to intellectual property rights, which may result 
in substantial expense, delay and/or cessation of the development and commercialization of our products.

We  primarily  rely  on  patents  to  protect  our  intellectual  property  rights.  The  strength  of  this  protection,  however,  is 

uncertain. For example, it is not certain that:

•
•

•

•

we will be able to obtain patent protection for our products and technologies;
the scope of any of our issued patents will be sufficient to provide commercially significant exclusivity for our 
products and technologies;
others will not independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate our technologies and obtain 
patent protection before we do; and
any  of  our  issued  patents,  or  patent  pending  applications  that  result  in  issued  patents,  will  be  held  valid, 
enforceable and infringed in the event the patents are asserted against others.

23

We currently own or license several patents and also have pending patent applications applicable to rHuPH20 and other 
proprietary materials. There can be no assurance that our existing patents, or any patents issued to us as a result of our pending 
patent applications, will provide a basis for commercially viable products, will provide us with any competitive advantages, or 
will  not  face  third  party  challenges  or  be  the  subject  of  further  proceedings  limiting  their  scope  or  enforceability.  Any 
weaknesses or limitations in our patent portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In 
addition,  if  any  of  our  pending  patent  applications  do  not  result  in  issued  patents,  or  result  in  issued  patents  with  narrow  or 
limited  claims,  this  could  result  in  us  having  no  or  limited  protection  against  generic  or  biosimilar  competition  against  our 
product candidates which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We may become involved in interference proceedings in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or other proceedings in 
other  jurisdictions,  to  determine  the  priority,  validity  or  enforceability  of  our  patents.  In  addition,  costly  litigation  could  be 
necessary to protect our patent position.

We  also  rely  on  trademarks  to  protect  the  names  of  our  products  (e.g.  Hylenex  recombinant).  We  may  not  be  able  to 
obtain trademark protection for any proposed product names we select. In addition, product names for pharmaceutical products 
must  be  approved  by  health  regulatory  authorities  such  as  the  FDA  in  addition  to  meeting  the  legal  standards  required  for 
trademark  protection  and  product  names  we  propose  may  not  be  timely  approved  by  regulatory  agencies  which  may  delay 
product launch. In addition, our trademarks may be challenged by others. If we enforce our trademarks against third parties, 
such enforcement proceedings may be expensive.

We also rely on trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation that we seek to 
protect with confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others with whom we discuss our business. Disputes 
may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability or enforceability of these agreements, and we 
might not be able to resolve these disputes in our favor.

In  addition  to  protecting  our  own  intellectual  property  rights,  third  parties  may  assert  patent,  trademark  or  copyright 
infringement or other intellectual property claims against us. If we become involved in any intellectual property litigation, we 
may  be  required  to  pay  substantial  damages,  including  but  not  limited  to  treble  damages,  attorneys’  fees  and  costs,  for  past 
infringement  if  it  is  ultimately  determined  that  our  products  infringe  a  third  party’s  intellectual  property  rights.  Even  if 
infringement claims against us are without merit, defending a lawsuit takes significant time, may be expensive and may divert 
management’s attention from other business concerns. Further, we may be stopped from developing, manufacturing or selling 
our products until we obtain a license from the owner of the relevant technology or other intellectual property rights. If such a 
license is available at all, it may require us to pay substantial royalties or other fees.

Patent protection for protein-based therapeutic products and other biotechnology inventions is subject to a great deal of 
uncertainty, and if patent laws or the interpretation of patent laws change, our competitors may be able to develop and 
commercialize products based on our discoveries.

Patent  protection  for  protein-based  therapeutic  products  is  highly  uncertain  and  involves  complex  legal  and  factual 
questions. In recent years, there have been significant changes in patent law, including the legal standards that govern the scope 
of  protein  and  biotechnology  patents.  Standards  for  patentability  of  full-length  and  partial  genes,  and  their  corresponding 
proteins,  are  changing.  Recent  court  decisions  have  made  it  more  difficult  to  obtain  patents,  by  making  it  more  difficult  to 
satisfy  the  patentable  subject  matter  requirement  and  the  requirement  of  non-obviousness,  have  decreased  the  availability  of 
injunctions  against  infringers,  and  have  increased  the  likelihood  of  challenging  the  validity  of  a  patent  through  a  declaratory 
judgment action. Taken together, these decisions could make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain, license and enforce 
our  patents.  In  addition,  the  Leahy-Smith  America  Invents  Act  (HR  1249)  was  signed  into  law  in  September  2011,  which 
among other changes to the U.S. patent laws, changes patent priority from “first to invent” to “first to file,” implements a post-
grant opposition system for patents and provides for a prior user defense to infringement. These judicial and legislative changes 
have introduced significant uncertainty in the patent law landscape and may potentially negatively impact our ability to procure, 
maintain and enforce patents to provide exclusivity for our products.

There  also  have  been,  and  continue  to  be,  policy  discussions  concerning  the  scope  of  patent  protection  awarded  to 
biotechnology  inventions.  Social  and  political  opposition  to  biotechnology  patents  may  lead  to  narrower  patent  protection 
within the biotechnology industry. Social and political opposition to patents on genes and proteins and recent court decisions 
concerning patentability of isolated genes may lead to narrower patent protection, or narrower claim interpretation, for isolated 
genes, their corresponding proteins and inventions related to their use, formulation and manufacture. Patent protection relating 
to  biotechnology  products  is  also  subject  to  a  great  deal  of  uncertainty  outside  the  U.S.,  and  patent  laws  are  evolving  and 
undergoing  revision  in  many  countries.  Changes  in,  or  different  interpretations  of,  patent  laws  worldwide  may  result  in  our 
inability to obtain or enforce patents, and may allow others to use our discoveries to develop and commercialize competitive 
products, which would impair our business.

24

If third party reimbursement and customer contracts are not available, Hylenex and our partners’ products may not be 
accepted in the market resulting in commercial performance below that which was expected or projected.

Our ability to earn sufficient returns on Hylenex and our partners’ ability to earn sufficient returns on their products will 
depend  in  part  on  the  extent  to  which  reimbursement  for  these  products  and  related  treatments  will  be  available  from 
government  health  administration  authorities,  private  health  insurers,  managed  care  organizations  and  other  healthcare 
providers.

Third-party  payors  are  increasingly  attempting  to  limit  both  the  coverage  and  the  level  of  reimbursement  of  new  drug 
products  to  contain  costs.  Consequently,  significant  uncertainty  exists  as  to  the  reimbursement  status  of  newly  approved 
healthcare products. Third party payors may not establish adequate levels of reimbursement for the products that we and our 
partners commercialize, which could limit their market acceptance and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues and 
financial condition.

Customer contracts, such as with group purchasing organizations and hospital formularies, will often not offer contract or 
formulary  status  without  either  the  lowest  price  or  substantial  proven  clinical  differentiation.  If,  for  example,  Hylenex  is 
compared to animal-derived hyaluronidases by these entities, it is possible that neither of these conditions will be met, which 
could limit market acceptance and result in a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition.

The  rising  cost  of  healthcare  and  related  pharmaceutical  product  pricing  has  led  to  cost  containment  pressures  from 
third-party payers as well as changes in federal coverage and reimbursement policies and practices that could cause us 
and our partners to sell our products at lower prices, and impact access to our and our partners’ products, resulting in less 
revenue to us.

Any  of  our  proprietary  or  collaboration  products  that  have  been,  or  in  the  future  are,  approved  by  the  FDA  may  be 
purchased or reimbursed by state and federal government authorities, private health insurers and other organizations, such as 
health  maintenance  organizations  and  managed  care  organizations.  Such  third  party  payors  increasingly  challenge 
pharmaceutical  product  pricing.  The  trend  toward  managed  healthcare  in  the  U.S.,  the  growth  of  such  organizations,  and 
various legislative proposals and enactments to reform healthcare and government insurance programs, including the Medicare 
Prescription Drug Modernization Act of 2003 and the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), could significantly influence the 
manner in which pharmaceutical products are prescribed and purchased, resulting in lower prices and/or a reduction in demand. 
Such cost containment measures and healthcare reforms could adversely affect our ability to sell our product and our partners’ 
ability to sell their products.

In the U.S., our business may be impacted by changes in federal reimbursement policy resulting from executive actions, 

federal regulations, or federal demonstration projects.

The  federal  administration  and/or  agencies,  such  as  CMS,  have  announced  a  number  of  demonstration  projects, 
recommendations  and  proposals  to  implement  various  elements  described  in  the  drug  pricing  blueprint.  CMS,  the  federal 
agency  responsible  for  administering  Medicare  and  overseeing  state  Medicaid  programs  and  Health  Insurance  Marketplaces, 
has  substantial  power  to  implement  policy  changes  or  demonstration  projects  that  can  quickly  and  significantly  affect  how 
drugs,  including  our  products,  are  covered  and  reimbursed.  For  example,  in  November  2020,  former  President  Trump 
announced the interim final rule to implement the Most Favored Nations drug pricing model seeking to tie Medicare payment 
rates to an international index price.  This final rule is currently subject to a preliminary injunction. Additionally, a number of 
Congressional  committees  have  also  held  hearings  and  evaluated  proposed  legislation  on  drug  pricing  and  payment  policy 
which may affect our business. For example, in July 2019, the Senate Finance Committee advanced a bill that in part would 
penalize pharmaceutical manufacturers for increasing drug list prices covered by Medicare Part B and Part D, faster than the 
rate  of  inflation,  and  cap  out-of-pocket  expenses  for  Medicare  Part  D  beneficiaries.  Several  other  proposals  have  been 
introduced that, if enacted and implemented, could affect access to and sales of our and our partners’ products, allow the federal 
government to engage in price negotiations on certain drugs, and allow importation of prescription medication from Canada or 
other countries.

In  this  dynamic  environment,  we  are  unable  to  predict  which  or  how  many  federal  policy,  legislative  or  regulatory 
changes  may  ultimately  be  enacted.  To  the  extent  federal  government  initiatives  decrease  or  modify  the  coverage  or 
reimbursement  available  for  our  or  our  partners’  products,  limit  or  impact  our  decisions  regarding  the  pricing  of 
biopharmaceutical  products  or  otherwise  reduce  the  use  of  our  or  our  partners’  U.S.  products,  such  actions  could  have  a 
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 

25

Furthermore, individual states are considering proposed legislation and have become increasingly aggressive in passing 
legislation  and  implementing  regulations  designed  to  control  pharmaceutical  product  pricing,  including  price  or  patient 
reimbursement  constraints,  discounts,  restrictions  on  certain  product  access,  importation  from  other  countries  and  bulk 
purchasing. Legally mandated price controls on payment amounts by third party payors or other restrictions could negatively 
and  materially  impact  our  revenues  and  financial  condition.  We  anticipate  that  we  will  encounter  similar  regulatory  and 
legislative issues in most other countries outside the U.S.

In  addition,  private  payers  in  the  US,  including  insurers,  pharmacy  benefit  managers  (PBMs),  integrated  healthcare 
delivery systems, and group purchasing organizations, are continuously seeking ways to reduce drug costs.  Many payers have 
developed and continue to develop ways to shift a greater portion of drug costs to patients through, for example, limited benefit 
plan  designs,  high  deductible  plans  and  higher  co-pay  or  coinsurance  obligations.  Consolidation  in  the  payer  space  has  also 
resulted in a few large PBMs and insurers which place greater pressure on pricing and utilization negotiations for our and our 
partners’ products in the U.S., increasing the need for higher discounts and rebates and limiting patient access and utilization.  
Ultimately, additional discounts, rebates and other price reductions, fees, coverage and plan changes, or exclusions imposed by 
these private payers on our and our partners’ products could have an adverse event on product sales, our business and results of 
operations.

We also face risks relating to the reporting of pricing data that affects the reimbursement of and discounts provided for 
our products. Government price reporting regulations are complex and may require a manufacturer to update certain previously 
submitted data. If our submitted pricing data are incorrect, we may become subject to substantial fines and penalties or other 
government  enforcement  actions,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  results  of  operations.  In 
addition, as a result of restating previously reported price data, we also may be required to pay additional rebates and provide 
additional discounts.

We face intense competition and rapid technological change that could result in the development of products by others 
that are competitive with or superior to our proprietary and collaboration products, including those under development.

Our proprietary and collaboration products have numerous competitors in the U.S. and abroad including, among others, 
major  pharmaceutical  and  specialized  biotechnology  firms,  universities  and  other  research  institutions  that  have  developed 
competing products. Many of these competitors have substantially more resources and product development, manufacturing and 
marketing  experience  and  capabilities  than  we  do.  The  competitors  for  Hylenex  recombinant  include,  but  are  not  limited  to, 
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.’s FDA-approved product, Vitrase®, an ovine (ram) hyaluronidase, and Amphastar 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s product, Amphadase®, a bovine (bull) hyaluronidase. For our ENHANZE technology, such competitors 
may  include  major  pharmaceutical  and  specialized  biotechnology  firms.  These  competitors  may  develop  technologies  and 
products  that  are  more  effective,  safer,  or  less  costly  than  our  current  or  future  proprietary  and  collaboration  products  and 
product  candidates  or  that  could  render  our  and  our  partners’  products,  technologies  and  product  candidates  obsolete  or 
noncompetitive.

General Risks

Our inability to attract, hire and retain key management and scientific personnel could negatively affect our business.

Our  success  depends  on  the  performance  of  key  management  and  scientific  employees  with  relevant  experience.  We 
depend  substantially  on  our  ability  to  hire,  train,  motivate  and  retain  high  quality  personnel,  especially  our  scientists  and 
management  team.  If  we  are  unable  to  identify,  hire  and  retain  qualified  personnel,  our  ability  to  support  current  and  future 
alliances with strategic collaborators could be adversely impacted. Our use of domestic and international third-party contractors, 
consultants and staffing agencies also subjects us to potential co-employment liability claims.

26

Furthermore, if we were to lose key management personnel, we may lose some portion of our institutional knowledge and 
technical  know-how,  potentially  causing  a  disruption  or  delay  in  one  or  more  of  our  partnered  development  programs  until 
adequate replacement personnel could be hired and trained. In addition, we do not have key person life insurance policies on the 
lives of any of our employees which would help cover the cost of associated with the loss of key employees.

Our operations might be interrupted by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.

Our operations, including laboratories, offices and other research facilities, are located in multiple buildings in San Diego, 
California.  We  depend  on  our  facilities  and  on  our  collaborators,  contractors  and  vendors  for  the  continued  operation  of  our 
business. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, pandemics, interruptions in the supply of natural resources, political and 
governmental  changes,  wildfires  and  other  fires,  floods,  explosions,  actions  of  animal  rights  activists,  earthquakes  and  civil 
unrest  could  disrupt  our  operations  or  those  of  our  collaborators,  contractors  and  vendors.  Even  though  we  believe  we  carry 
commercially  reasonable  business  interruption  and  liability  insurance,  and  our  contractors  may  carry  liability  insurance  that 
protect us in certain events, we may suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the coverage available under 
our and our contractors’ insurance policies or for which we or our contractors do not have coverage. Any natural disaster or 
catastrophic event could have a significant negative impact on our operations and financial results. Moreover, any such event 
could delay our partners’ research and development programs.

Cyberattacks, security breaches or system breakdowns may disrupt our operations and harm our operating results 

and reputation.

We  and  our  partners  are  subject  to  increasingly  sophisticated  attempts  to  gain  unauthorized  access  to  our  information 
technology storage and access systems and are devoting resources to protect against such intrusion. Cyberattacks could render 
us  or  our  partners  unable  to  utilize  key  systems  or  access  important  data  needed  to  operate  our  business.  The  wrongful  use, 
theft, deliberate sabotage or any other type of security breach with respect to any of our or any of our vendors and partners’ 
information technology storage and access systems could result in the breakdown or other service interruption, or the disruption 
of  our  ability  to  use  such  systems  or  disclosure  or  dissemination  of    proprietary  and  confidential  information  that  is 
electronically stored, including intellectual property, trade secrets, financial information, regulatory information, strategic plans, 
sales trends and forecasts, litigation materials or personal information belonging to us, our staff, our patients, customers and/or 
other  business  partners  which  could  result  in  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  business,  operating  results  and  financial 
condition.  We  continue  to  invest  in  monitoring,  and  other  security  and  data  recovery  measures  to  protect  our  critical  and 
sensitive  data  and  systems.  However,  these  may  not  be  adequate  to  prevent  or  fully  recover  systems  or  data  from  all 
breakdowns,  service  interruptions,  attacks  or  breaches  of  our  systems.  Furthermore,  any  physical  break-in  or  trespass  of  our 
facilities could result in the misappropriation, theft, sabotage or any other type of security breach with respect to our proprietary 
and  confidential  information,  including  research  or  clinical  data  or  damage  to  our  research  and  development  equipment  and 
assets.  Such  adverse  effects  could  be  material  and  irrevocable  to  our  business,  operating  results,  financial  condition  and 
reputation.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Our administrative offices and research facilities are currently located in San Diego, California. During 2020 we leased 
an aggregate of approximately 50,000 square feet of office and research space. We believe our facilities are adequate for our 
current and near-term needs.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in disputes, including litigation, relating to claims arising out of operations in the 
normal course of our business. Any of these claims could subject us to costly legal expenses and, while we generally believe 
that we have adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage or our 
policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any 
such awards could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. Additionally, 
any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business. We currently are not a party to any legal 
proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material 
adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

PART II

Securities

Market Information

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HALO.” As of February 17, 2021, 

we had approximately 52,081 stockholders of record and beneficial owners of our common stock.

Dividends

We  have  never  declared  or  paid  any  dividends  on  our  common  stock.  We  currently  intend  to  retain  available  cash  for 
funding  operations  and  stock  repurchases;  therefore,  we  do  not  expect  to  pay  any  dividends  on  our  common  stock  in  the 
foreseeable  future.  In  addition,  the  provisions  of  our  borrowing  arrangements  limit,  among  other  things,  our  ability  to  pay 
dividends  and  make  certain  other  payments.  Any  future  determination  to  pay  dividends  on  our  common  stock  will  be  at  the 
discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, 
capital requirements, contract restrictions, business prospects and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant.

Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer

In  November,  2019,  we  announced  that  the  Board  of  Directors  authorized  the  initiation  of  a  capital  return  program  to 
repurchase  up  to  $550.0  million  of  outstanding  common  stock  over  a  three-year  period.  During  2019,  we  repurchased 
approximately 11.1 million shares of common stock for $200.0 million at an average price of $18.03. 

During 2020, we repurchased 6.5 million shares of common stock for $150.0 million at an average price of $23.05. The 
shares were purchased through open market transactions and through an Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) agreement with 
Bank of America in December 2020, for which we repurchased $21.7 million of common stock and received 0.5 million shares. 
We retired the repurchased shares and they resumed the status of authorized and unissued shares.

The table below sets forth information regarding repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2020:

 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to 

risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, 
including but not limited to risks described in the Part I, Item 1A, Risks Factors, and elsewhere in this Annual Report. 
References to “Notes” are Notes included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Overview

Halozyme  Therapeutics,  Inc.  is  a  biopharma  technology  platform  company  that  provides  innovative  and  disruptive 
solutions with the goal of improving patient experience and outcomes. Our proprietary enzyme, rHuPH20, is used to facilitate 
the delivery of injected drugs and fluids. We license our technology to biopharmaceutical companies to collaboratively develop 
products that combine our ENHANZE® drug delivery technology with the collaborators’ proprietary compounds. 

Our  approved  product  and  our  collaborators’  approved  products  and  product  candidates  are  based  on  rHuPH20,  our 
patented  recombinant  human  hyaluronidase  enzyme.  rHuPH20  is  the  active  ingredient  in  our  first  commercially  approved 
product, Hylenex® recombinant, and it works by breaking down hyaluronan (or HA), a naturally occurring carbohydrate that is 
a  major  component  of  the  extracellular  matrix  in  tissues  throughout  the  body  such  as  skin  and  cartilage.  This  temporarily 
increases dispersion and absorption allowing for improved subcutaneous delivery of injectable biologics, such as monoclonal 
antibodies and other large therapeutic molecules, as well as small molecules and fluids. We refer to the application of rHuPH20 
to facilitate the delivery of other drugs or fluids as our ENHANZE® drug delivery technology (“ENHANZE”). We license the 
ENHANZE  technology  to  form  collaborations  with  biopharmaceutical  companies  that  develop  or  market  drugs  requiring  or 
benefiting  from  injection  via  the  subcutaneous  route  of  administration.  In  the  development  of  proprietary  intravenous  (IV) 
drugs combined with our ENHANZE technology, data have been generated supporting the potential for ENHANZE to reduce 
treatment burden, as a result of shorter duration of subcutaneous (SC) administration. ENHANZE may enable fixed-dose SC 
dosing compared to weight-based dosing required for IV administration, and potentially allow for lower rates of infusion related 
reactions. ENHANZE may enable more flexible treatment options such as home administration by a healthcare professional or 
potentially  the  patient.  Lastly,  certain  proprietary  drugs  co-formulated  with  ENHANZE  have  been  granted  additional 
exclusivity, extending the patent life of the product beyond the one of the proprietary IV drug.

We currently have ENHANZE collaborations with F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. (Roche), 
Baxalta US Inc. and Baxalta GmbH (now members of the Takeda group of companies, following the acquisition of Shire plc by 
Takeda  Pharmaceutical  Company  Limited  in  January  2019)  (Baxalta),  Pfizer  Inc.  (Pfizer),  Janssen  Biotech,  Inc.  (Janssen), 
AbbVie,  Inc.  (AbbVie),  Eli  Lilly  and  Company  (Lilly),  Bristol-Myers  Squibb  Company  (BMS),  Alexion  Pharma  Holding 
(Alexion),  ARGENX  BVBA  (argenx)  and  Horizon  Therapeutics  plc.  (Horizon).  We  receive  royalties  from  three  of  these 
collaborations,  including  royalties  from  sales  of  one  product  from  the  Baxalta  collaboration,  three  products  from  the  Roche 
collaboration and one product from Janssen collaboration. Future potential revenues from royalties and fees from ENHANZE 
collaborations  and  the  sales  and/or  royalties  of  our  approved  products  will  depend  on  the  ability  of  Halozyme  and  our 
collaborators to develop, manufacture, secure and maintain regulatory approvals for approved products and product candidates 
and commercialize product candidates.

Our 2020 and recent key events are as follows:

Janssen

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

In January 2021, we announced that Janssen received accelerated approval from the FDA for DARZALEX FASPRO 
in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (D-VCd) for the treatment of adult patients 
with  newly  diagnosed  light  chain  (AL)  amyloidosis.  AL  amyloidosis  is  a  rare  and  potentially  fatal  disease  that 
develops when plasma cells in the bone marrow generate abnormal light chains, which form amyloid deposits in vital 
organs and lead to organ deterioration. There were no approved therapies for these patients prior to Darzalex FASPRO.

In  December  2020,  Janssen  achieved  the  first  sales  milestone  for  Darzalex  FASPRO/Darxalex  SC,  triggering  a 
payment of $15.0 million. 

In November 2020, Janssen initiated a Phase 1 study of amivantamab using ENHANZE technology. 

In  November  2020,  we  announced  that  Janssen  submitted  regulatory  applications  to  the  FDA  and  EMA  seeking 
approval  of  the  DARZALEX  FASPRO  in  the  U.S.  and  as  DARZALEX    SC  in  the  European  Union  (EU)  in 
combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Pd) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory 
multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy.

In  November  2020,  Janssen  announced  it  submitted  a  Type  II  variation  application  to  the  EMA  seeking  European 
approval for the DARZALEX SC to be used in the treatment of patients with AL amyloidosis.

In  August  2020,  Janssen  announced  that  Health  Canada  approved  DARZALEX  SC  in  four  regimens  across  five 
indications in patients with multiple myeloma, most notably newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible patients as well as 
relapsed or refractory patients.

In  June  2020,  we  announced  that  Janssen  received  European  marketing  authorization  and  launched  the  commercial 
sale of  DARZALEX SC in the European Union, triggering a $10.0 million milestone payment. The approval applies 
to all current daratumumab indications in frontline and relapsed/refractory settings.

In  May  2020,  we  announced  that  Janssen  received  US  FDA  approval  of  DARZALEX  FASPRO  in  four  of  six 
regimens  approved  for  the  intravenous  form  in  multiple  myeloma  patients,  including  newly  diagnosed,  transplant-
ineligible patients as well as relapsed or refractory patients and launched the commercial sale, triggering a $15 million 
milestone payment.

In April 2020, we announced the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour 
and  Welfare  (MHLW)  by  Janssen  seeking  approval  of  a  new  SC  formulation  of  daratumumab,  an  intravenous  (IV) 
treatment approved for patients with multiple myeloma.

Argenx

•

•

•

In January 2021, argenx initiated a Phase 3 study of ARGX-113 utilizing ENHANZE in pemphigus vulgaris (PV), a 
rare autoimmune disease that causes painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes.

In  December  2020,  argenx  initiated  a  Phase  3  study  of  ARGX-113  using  ENHANZE  technology  for  patients  with 
immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), an immune disorder in which the blood does not clot normally, triggering a $15.0 
million payment. 

In October 2020, we announced that argenx expanded the existing global collaboration and license agreement that was 
signed in February 2019. Under the newly announced expansion, argenx gained the ability to exclusively access our 
ENHANZE technology for three additional targets upon nomination, for a total of up to six targets. To date, argenx has 
nominated two targets including the human neonatal Fc receptor FcRn and complement component C2.

Roche

•

•

•

In  December  2020,  Roche  initiated  a  Phase  3  study  in  patients  with  non-small  cell  lung  cancer  for  Tecentriq  using 
ENHANZE technology, triggering a $17.0 million payment. 

In December 2020, we announced that the European Commission approved Roche's Phesgo, a fixed-dose combination 
of  Perjeta  (pertuzumab)  and  Herceptin  (trastuzumab)  with  ENHANZE  technology,  administered  by  subcutaneous 
injection for the treatment of patients with early and metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. This is the first time the 
European Commission has approved a product combining two monoclonal antibodies that can be administered by a 
single subcutaneous injection utilizing  ENHANZE technology.

In  June  2020,  we  announced  that  Roche  received  FDA  approval  of  Phesgo  utilizing  ENHANZE  technology  for  the 
treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Horizon

In November 2020, we announced a global collaboration and license agreement that gives Horizon exclusive access to 
ENHANZE  technology  for  SC  formulation  of  medicines  targeting  IGF-1R.  Horizon  intends  to  use  ENHANZE  to 
develop  a  SC  formulation  of  TEPEZZA  (teprotumumab-trbw),  indicated  for  the  treatment  of  thyroid  eye  disease,  a 
serious, progressive and vision-threatening rare autoimmune disease, potentially shortening drug administration time, 
reducing healthcare practitioner time and offering additional flexibility and convenience for patients.

Baxalta

In  September  2020,  Takeda  announced  that  the  EMA  approved  a  label  update  for  HYQVIA  broadening  its  use  and 
making it the first and only facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin replacement therapy in adults, adolescents and 
children with an expanded range of secondary immunodeficiencies (SID).

BMS

In June 2020, BMS selected 3 targets on an exclusive basis and exercised their option to convert a co-exclusive license 
to an exclusive license, triggering a $5.0 million payment. BMS has selected eight targets on an exclusive basis to date.

Corporate

In  March  2020,  Hylenex,  which  was  approved  in  an  NDA,  was  deemed  to  be  an  approved  Biologics  License 
Application  (BLA)  under  section  351(a)  of  the  Public  Health  Service  Act  (PHS  Act).  A  portion  of  our  competition 
comes  from  compounding  pharmacies,  which  are  prohibited  from  compounding  biologic  products  per  the  Drug 
Quality  &  Security  Act  (DQSA).  As  hyaluronidase  is  now  considered  a  biologic,  this  change  may  benefit  sales  of 
Hylenex.

During 2020 we repurchased 6.5 million shares of common stock in open market and accelerated share repurchases for 
$150.0 million at an average price per share of $23.05. Since the inception of our capital return program in November 
2019 to repurchase up to $550.0 million of outstanding common stock over a three-year period, we have repurchased a 
total of 17.6 million shares for $350.0 million at an average price per share of $19.88 as of December 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 

Royalties  –  Royalty  revenue  was  $88.6  million  in  2020  compared  to  $69.9  million  in  2019.  The  increase  was  mainly 
driven  by  sales  of  DARZALEX  FASPRO  in  the  U.S  and  EU  by  Janssen  due  to  the  product  launch  in  the  second  quarter  of 
2020,  partially  offset  by  slightly  lower  sales  of  Herceptin  SC  and  MabThera  SC  by  Roche.  In  general,  we  expect  royalty 
revenue to grow as a result of our recent ENHANZE partner product launches, offsetting the ongoing impact from biosimilars 
in Europe related to our mature ENHANZE partner products.

Product sales, net was lower by $10.1 million in 2020 compared to 2019, due to lower sales of rHuPH20 as a result of a 
one-off large partner order in 2019. We expect that product sales of bulk rHuPH20 and ENHANZE drug product will fluctuate 
in  future  periods  based  on  the  needs  of  our  collaborators.  In  March  2020,  the  Surgeon  General  advised  hospitals  to  cancel 
elective surgeries due to COVID-19. Hylenex is used in cataract surgery and other ophthalmologic surgeries, and therefore the 
advisory  resulted  in  a  decrease  in  sales  of  Hylenex  in  the  second  quarter  of  2020.  Most  states  resumed  elective  surgeries  in 
April and May of 2020 which supported an increase in sales in the second half of 2020.

Revenue from license fees increased $63.3 million in 2020, compared to 2019 mainly due to the recognition of $121.3 
million  related  to  the  Janssen,  Horizon,  Roche,  argenx  and  BMS  collaborations  in  the  current  year,  as  compared  to  $55.0 
million recognized in connection with argenx and Roche collaboration in 2019.  Revenue from upfront licenses fees, license 
fees for the election of additional targets, license maintenance fees and other license fees and event-based payments vary from 
period  to  period  based  on  our  ENHANZE  collaboration  activity.  We  expect  these  revenues  to  continue  to  fluctuate  in  future 
periods based on our collaborators’ ability to meet various clinical and regulatory milestones set forth in such agreements and 
our ability to obtain new collaborative agreements. To date, based on current partner communications, we have not identified 
any COVID-19 related delays that will materially impact our ENHANZE milestone revenue. We will continue to monitor the 
ENHANZE  development  activities  of  our  partners  and  the  impact  of  their  plans  on  our  milestone  revenue,  as  there  may  be 
potential for COVID-19 related delays.

Cost of Product Sales –Cost of product sales were $43.4 million in 2020 compared to $45.5 million in 2019. The decrease 
of $2.1 million in cost of product sales was mainly due to a decrease in sales of bulk rHuPH20 to Janssen, partially offset by an 
increase in sales of bulk rHuPH20 to Baxalta and Roche.

Research  and  development  expenses  relating  to  our  PEGPH20  programs  for  2020  decreased  by  93%,  compared  to  the 
same  period  in  2019,  primarily  due  to  decreased  clinical  trial  activities.  On  November  4,  2019,  we  announced  that  the 
HALO-301 clinical study failed to reach the primary endpoint of overall survival. As a result, we halted development activities 
for PEGPH20, closed our oncology operations and began the close out process for all our clinical trials. We implemented an 
organizational restructuring to focus our operations solely on ENHANZE, which was completed in the second quarter of 2020 
and resulted in a reduction in research and development expenses.

Research  and  development  expenses  relating  to  our  ENHANZE  collaborations  and  our  rHuPH20  platform  for  2020 
increased by 38%, compared to 2019, primarily due to increased costs to support additional ENHANZE targets and a higher 
allocation  of  overhead  costs.  The  rHuPH20  platform  includes  research  and  development  expenses  related  to  our  proprietary 
rHuPH20 enzyme that were not designated to a specific program at the time the expenses were incurred.

Selling, General and Administrative – Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $45.7 million in 2020 
compared to $77.3 million in 2019. The decrease of $31.6 million, or 41%, was primarily due to a decrease in compensation 
expense, one time restructuring cost in the prior year and discontinuation of commercial expenses related to market research 
and  educational  activities  as  we  prepared  for  a  potential  commercial  launch  of  PEGPH20.  The  discontinuation  of  our 
development  activities  for  PEGPH20  and  closure  of  our  oncology  operations  resulted  in  a  reduction  in  commercialization 
activities and compensation expense.

Interest Expense – Interest expense was $20.4 million in 2020 compared to $11.6 million in 2019. The increase of $8.8 
million was primarily due to interest expense related to the Convertible Notes, offset by a discontinuation in interest expense for 
the  Royalty-backed  Loan  and  the  Oxford  and  SVB  Loan  following  the  repayment  of  those  obligations.  We  expect  interest 
expense related to the Convertible Notes to decrease by approximately $12.0 million in 2021 as the non-cash interest expense 
associated with the amortization of the equity component of Convertible Notes will be eliminated upon the adoption of ASU 
2020-06. 

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 

For  discussion  related  to  changes  in  financial  condition  and  the  results  of  operations  for  fiscal  year  2019  compared  to 
fiscal  year  2018,  refer  to  Part  II  -  Item  7.  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of 
Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was 
filed with the SEC on February 24, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities. As 
of December 31, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $368.0 million. We believe that our current 
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. We 
expect to fund our operations going forward with existing cash resources, anticipated revenues from our existing collaborations 
and cash that we may raise through future transactions. We may raise cash through any one of the following financing vehicles: 
(i)  new  collaborative  agreements;  (ii)  expansions  or  revisions  to  existing  collaborative  relationships;  (iii)  private  financings; 
(iv) other equity or debt financings;  (v) monetizing assets; and/or (vi) the public offering of securities.

We  may,  in  the  future,  offer  and  sell  additional  equity,  debt  securities  and  warrants  to  purchase  any  of  such  securities, 
either  individually  or  in  units  to  raise  capital  to  raise  funds  for  additional  working  capital,  capital    expenditures,  share 
repurchases, acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operations was $55.5 million in 2020 compared to cash used in by operation $85.4 million in 2019. 
The  $140.9  million  increase  in  cash  provided  by  operations  was  mainly  due  to  an  increase  in  cash  received  related  to 
collaboration partner license of $119.0 million during the current year, offset by $55.0 million owed from argenx and Roche for 
license fees in the prior year, and an increase in working capital spend for 2020 compared to the prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $78.4 million in 2020 compared to net cash used in by investing activities 
$5.5 million in 2019. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to the increase in proceeds 
from maturities of marketable securities for 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $106.3 million in 2020, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of 
$153.2  million  in  2019,  mainly  due  to  a  decrease  in  cash  proceeds  from  issuance  of  long-term  debt,  offset  by  a  decrease  of 
$49.9  million  in  repurchase  of  common  stock,  a  $49.2  million  increase  in  net  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  common  stock 
under equity incentive plans and a decrease in the amount of repayments of long-term debt of $88.5 million in 2020.

Share Repurchases

The  Board  of  Directors  approved  a  share  repurchase  program,  pursuant  to  which  we  may  repurchase  our  issued  and 
outstanding shares of common stock from time to time. The Company retired the repurchased shares. See Note 8. Stockholders’ 
Equity, within the notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our share repurchases.

 Debt

Convertible Notes

In November 2019, we completed the sale of $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior 
Notes due in 2024 (Convertible Notes) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers. We received net proceeds from 
the  offering  of  approximately  $447.4  million.  We  used  $200.0  million  of  the  net  proceeds  from  the  offering  to  repurchase 
shares  of  our  common  stock,  including  approximately  $143.1  million  to  repurchase  approximately  8.1  million  shares  of 
common stock concurrently with the offering in privately negotiated transactions, $6.9 million in open market purchases and 
$50.0  million  to  repurchase  approximately  2.6  million  shares  of  common  stock  through  an  accelerated  share  repurchase 
agreement.

We used approximately $26.1 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repay all outstanding amounts under our 
loan agreement with Oxford Finance and Silicon Valley Bank and intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general 
corporate purposes, including additional share repurchases subsequent to the offering, and working capital.

The Convertible Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1st and December 1st of each year, beginning on 
June 1, 2020, at an annual rate of 1.25% and will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash 
and shares of common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate at such time. The Convertible Notes are 
general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right 
of payment to the Convertible Notes, will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities that are not so 
subordinated,  will  be  effectively  junior  to  any  secured  indebtedness  to  the  extent  of  the  value  of  the  assets  securing  such 
indebtedness  and  will  be  structurally  subordinated  to  all  indebtedness  and  other  liabilities  (including  trade  payables)  of  our 
current or future subsidiaries.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar 
quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2020, if the last reported sale price per share of common 
stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending 
on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business 
days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the “measurement 
period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was 
less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Company’s common stock on such trading day and the 
conversion  rate  on  such  trading  day;  (3)  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  corporate  events  or  distributions  on  Company’s 
common stock, as described in the offering memorandum; (4) if we call such notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, 
and including, June 1, 2024 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of 
December 1, 2024. The Convertible Notes will be convertible, regardless of the foregoing circumstances, at any time from, and 
including, June 1, 2024 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

36

In January 2021, we notified the note holders that we will settle the principal of the Convertible Notes in cash. Therefore, 
upon  conversion,  the  principal  value  of  the  Convertible  Notes  will  be  paid  in  cash  and  depending  on  our  stock  price,  any 
additional  amount  over  principal  amount  will  be  settled  in  shares  of  common  stock.  The  initial  conversion  rate  for  the 
Convertible Notes will be 41.9208 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to 
a  conversion  price  of  approximately  $23.85  per  share  of  our  common  stock.  The  conversion  rate  is  subject  to  adjustment  as 
described in the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of certain circumstances, holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to purchase all or portion 
of their notes for cash, which may require the use of a substantial amount of cash. As of December 31, 2020, the conditional 
conversion feature was triggered and our notes are classified as a current liability. At December 31, 2020, we had a working 
capital position of $133.4 million, which includes the Convertible Notes that are currently redeemable as of December 31, 2020 
but excludes another $65.6 million that is classified as equity. The debt may change from current to non-current period over 
period, primarily as a result of changes in our stock price. We believe that it is remote that holders of the notes would choose to 
convert  their  notes  early  because  the  fair  value  of  the  security  that  a  note  holder  can  currently  realize  in  an  active  market  is 
greater than the conversion value the note holder would realize upon early conversion. In the unlikely event that all the debt was 
converted, we will have two business days following a forty trading day observation period from the conversion date to pay the 
principal  in  cash.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  we  have  positive  operating  income  and  positive  cash  flow  from 
operations and, accordingly, while there can be no assurance, we believe we have the ability to generate sufficient cash flows 
from  operations  or  to  raise  additional  capital  through  a  variety  of  financing  arrangements  to  satisfy  early  conversion  of  the 
Convertible Notes.

Royalty-backed Loan

In January 2016, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Halozyme Royalty LLC (Halozyme Royalty), we received a $150 
million  loan  (the  Royalty-backed  Loan)  pursuant  to  a  credit  agreement  (the  Credit  Agreement)  with  BioPharma  Credit 
Investments IV Sub, LP and Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP (the Royalty-backed Lenders). Under the terms of the 
Credit Agreement, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. transferred to Halozyme Royalty the right to receive royalty payments from the 
commercial  sales  of  ENHANZE  products  owed  under  the  Roche  Collaboration  and  Baxalta  Collaboration  (Collaboration 
Agreements).  The  royalty  payments  from  the  Collaboration  Agreements  were  used  to  repay  the  principal  and  interest  on  the 
loan (the Royalty Payments). The Royalty-backed Loan bore interest at a per annum rate of 8.75% plus the three-month LIBOR 
rate. The three-month LIBOR rate was subject to a floor of 0.7% and a cap of 1.5%. In June 2020, we paid the full remaining  
balance  and  final  payment  of  $2.93  million  thereby  satisfying  and  discharging  all  obligations  under,  and  terminating,  the 
Royalty-backed Loan.  

Oxford and SVB Loan and Security Agreement

In June 2016, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Oxford Finance LLC (Oxford) 
and  Silicon  Valley  Bank  (SVB)  (collectively,  the  Lenders),  providing  a  senior  secured  loan  facility  of  up  to  an  aggregate 
principal  amount  of  $70.0  million,  comprising  a  $55.0  million  draw  in  June  2016  and  an  additional  $15.0  million  tranche, 
which we had the option to draw during the second quarter of 2017 and did not exercise. The proceeds were partially used to 
pay the outstanding principal and final payment owed on a previous loan agreement with the Lenders. The remaining proceeds 
were  used  for  working  capital  and  general  business  requirements.  The  Loan  Agreement  repayment  schedule  provided  for 
interest  only  payments  for  the  first  18  months,  followed  by  consecutive  equal  monthly  payments  of  principal  and  interest  in 
arrears through the maturity date of January 1, 2021. The Loan Agreement provided for a final payment equal to 5.50% of the 
initial  $55  million  principal  amount.  The  final  payment  was  due  when  the  Loan  Agreement  becomes  due  or  upon  the 
prepayment of the facility. We had the option to prepay the outstanding balance of the Loan Agreement in full and exercised 
this option in November 2019, at which point we paid the full remaining balance and final payment of $26.1 million, thereby 
satisfying and discharging all obligations under, and terminating, the Loan Agreement. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2020, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such 
as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose 
of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we did not engage 
in  trading  activities  involving  non-exchange  traded  contracts.  As  such,  we  are  not  materially  exposed  to  any  financing, 
liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Interest on short-term debt includes semi-annual interest payments on the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note 
bears interest at an annual rate of 1.25%.

Includes minimum lease payments related to leases of our office and research facilities and certain autos under non-
cancelable operating leases.

(4). We  have  contracted  with  third-party  manufacturers  for  the  supply  of  bulk  rHuPH20  and  fill/finish  of  Hylenex 
recombinant. Under these agreements, we are required to purchase certain quantities each year during the terms of 
the  agreements.  The  amounts  presented  represent  our  estimates  of  the  minimum  required  payments  under  these 
agreements. 

Contractual obligations for purchases of goods or services include agreements that are enforceable and legally binding to 
us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable 
price  provisions;  and  the  approximate  timing  of  the  transaction.  For  obligations  with  cancellation  provisions,  the  amounts 
included in the preceding table were limited to the non-cancelable portion of the agreement terms or the minimum cancellation 
fee.

For  certain  restricted  stock  units  and  performance  stock  units  granted,  the  number  of  shares  issued  on  the  date  the 
restricted  stock  units  vest  is  net  of  the  minimum  statutory  withholding  requirements  that  we  pay  in  cash  to  the  appropriate 
taxing  authorities  on  behalf  of  our  employees.  The  obligation  to  pay  the  relevant  taxing  authority  is  not  included  in  the 
preceding table, as the amount is contingent upon continued employment. In addition, the amount of the obligation is unknown, 
as it is based in part on the market price of our common stock when the awards vest.

The expected timing of payments of the obligations above is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments 
and actual amounts paid may be different, depending on the time of receipt of goods or services, or changes to agreed-upon 
amounts for some obligations.

Our future capital uses and requirements depend on numerous forward-looking factors. These factors may include, but 

are not limited to, the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the rate of progress and cost of research and development activities;

the number and scope of our research and development activities;

the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

our ability to establish and maintain product discovery and development collaborations, including scale-up manufacturing 
costs for our collaborators’ product candidates;

the amount of royalties and milestones from our collaborators;

the amount of product sales for Hylenex recombinant;

the costs of obtaining and validating additional manufacturers of rHuPH20;

the effect of competing technological and market developments;

the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish; and

the extent to which we acquire or in-license new products, technologies or businesses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial 
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. The 
preparation  of  our  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  us  to  make  estimates  and  judgments  that  affect  the  reported 
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We review our 
estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of 
assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant 
accounting policies are outlined in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K. We believe the 
following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial 
statements.

Revenue Recognition

Methodology

Judgment and Uncertainties

Revenue is recognized when we 
determine it is probable a milestone 
will be achieved. This assessment is 
based on our past experience with 
our collaboration partners, market 
insight and partner communication. 

Effect if Actual Results Differ From 
Assumptions

A revenue reversal will be required in 
the event it is determined that 
achievement of a milestone, previously 
deemed probable, will not occur. This 
reversal may be material. 

For collaborative agreements, we are entitled 
to receive event-based payments subject to 
the collaboration partner's achievement of 
specified development and regulatory 
milestones. We recognize revenue when it is 
deemed probable that these milestones will 
be achieved, which could be in a period prior 
to its actual occurrence. At the end of each 
reporting period, we re-evaluate the 
probability of achievement of such 
milestones, and if necessary, adjust our 
estimate of the overall transaction price.

For collaborative agreements, royalty 
revenue is recognized in the period the 
underlying sales occur, but we do not receive 
final royalty reports from our collaboration 
partners until after we complete our financial 
statements for a prior quarter. Therefore, we 
recognize revenue based on estimates of the 
royalty earned, which are based on 
preliminary reports provided by our 
collaboration partners.

For collaborative arrangements, when 
necessary, we perform an allocation of the 
upfront amount based on relative stand-alone 
selling prices (SSP) of licenses for individual 
targets. We determine
license SSP using an income-based valuation 
approach utilizing risk-adjusted discounted 
cash flow projections.

The amount of royalty revenue 
recognized for the quarter is 
estimated using our knowledge of 
past royalty payments, market 
insight and an estimate made by our 
collaboration partners provided in a 
preliminary report.

A final royalty report and associated 
royalty payment is received 
approximately 60 days after quarter-
end. If necessary, a true-up is recorded 
at that time if there is a difference from 
the initial estimated royalty revenue 
recorded. To date, the true-up entries 
have not been material.

The inputs used in the valuation 
model to determine SSP are based 
on estimates utilizing market data 
and information provided by our 
collaboration partners. 

Differences in the allocation of the 
transaction price between delivered and 
undelivered performance obligations 
can impact the timing of revenue 
recognition but do not change the total 
revenue recognized under any 
agreement.

Share-Based Payments

Methodology

Judgment and Uncertainties

We maintain a Stock Incentive Plan, which 
provides for share-based payment awards, 
including stock options, restricted stock and 
performance awards. We determine the fair 
value of our stock option awards and 
performance awards at the date of grant 
using a Black-Scholes model. We determine 
the fair value of our restricted stock awards 
at the date of grant using the closing market 
value of our common stock on the date of 
grant. 

Option-pricing models and generally 
accepted valuation techniques 
require management to make 
assumptions and to apply judgment 
to determine the fair value of our 
awards. These assumptions and 
judgments include estimating the 
future volatility of our stock price, 
expected dividend yield and future 
employee stock option exercise 
behaviors. Changes in these 
assumptions can materially affect 
the fair value estimate. 

Our performance awards require 
management to make assumptions 
regarding the likelihood of 
achieving long-term Company 
goals.

Valuation Allowance
A valuation allowance has been established 
to offset the net deferred tax assets as 
realization of such assets is uncertain. We 
intend to continue maintaining a full 
valuation allowance on our DTAs until there 
is sufficient evidence to support the reversal 
of all or some portion of these allowances

We have considered future taxable 
income and tax planning strategies 
in assessing the need for a valuation 
allowance. Both future taxable 
income and tax planning strategies 
include a number of estimates.

Effect if Actual Results Differ From 
Assumptions

We do not currently believe there is a 
reasonable likelihood that there will be 
a material change in estimates or 
assumptions we use to determine stock-
based compensation expense. However, 
if actual results are not consistent with 
our estimates or assumptions, we may 
be exposed to changes in share-based 
compensation expense that could be 
material. 

If actual results are not consistent with 
the assumptions used, the share-based 
compensation expense reported in our 
financial statements may not be 
representative of the actual economic 
cost of the share-based compensation. 
A 10% change in our share-based 
compensation expense for the year 
ended December 31, 2020 would have 
affected pre-tax earnings by 
approximately $1.7 million in 2020. 

 Given our current earnings and 
anticipated future earnings, we believe 
that there is a reasonable possibility 
that within the next 12 months, 
sufficient positive evidence may 
become available to reach a conclusion 
that a significant portion of the 
valuation allowance will no longer be 
needed. Release of the valuation 
allowance would result in the 
recognition of certain DTAs and a 
decrease to income tax expense for the 
period the release is recorded.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

As  of  December  31,  2020,  our  cash  equivalents  and  marketable  securities  consisted  of  investments  in  money  market 
funds,  asset-backed  securities,  U.S.  Treasury  securities,  corporate  debt  obligations  and  commercial  paper.  These  investments 
were  made  in  accordance  with  our  investment  policy  which  specifies  the  categories,  allocations,  and  ratings  of  securities  we 
may consider for investment. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time 
maximizing  the  income  we  receive  without  significantly  increasing  risk.  Some  of  the  financial  instruments  that  we  invest  in 
could be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the value of the instruments to 
fluctuate. For example, if we purchase a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate and the prevailing interest rate later 
rises, the value of that security will probably decline. Based on our current investment portfolio as of December 31, 2020, we 
do not believe that our results of operations would be materially impacted by an immediate change of 10% in interest rates. 

We  do  not  hold  or  issue  derivatives,  derivative  commodity  instruments  or  other  financial  instruments  for  speculative 
trading purposes. Further, we do not believe our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities have significant risk of default 
or  illiquidity.  We  made  this  determination  based  on  discussions  with  our  investment  advisors  and  a  review  of  our  holdings. 
While  we  believe  our  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  marketable  securities  do  not  contain  excessive  risk,  we  cannot  provide 
absolute assurance that in the future our investments will not be subject to adverse changes in market value. All of our cash 
equivalents and marketable securities are recorded at fair market value.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Our financial statements are annexed to this report beginning on page F-1.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in 
our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timelines specified in the Securities and 
Exchange  Commission’s  rules  and  forms,  and  that  such  information  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  our  management, 
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required 
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and 
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control 
objectives,  and  in  reaching  a  reasonable  level  of  assurance,  management  necessarily  was  required  to  apply  its  judgment  in 
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  our  management,  including  our  principal  executive  officer  and 
principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under 
Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal 
executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 
the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter 
ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over 
financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting. 
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act 
as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by 
our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

•

•

•

Pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that  in  reasonable  detail  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of our assets;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures  are  being  made  only  in 
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of 
our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. 
Projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become  inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In 
making  this  assessment,  our  management  used  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Based on our 
assessment,  management  concluded  that,  as  of  December  31,  2020,  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  effective 
based  on  the  COSO  criteria.  The  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  that  audited  the  consolidated  financial 
statements that are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal 
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. The report appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based 
on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway  Commission  (2013  framework)  (the  COSO  criteria).  In  our  opinion,  Halozyme  Therapeutics,  Inc.  (the  Company) 
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the 
COSO criteria.

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States)  (PCAOB),  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  and  the  related 
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for each of 
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the 
Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 23, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report 
on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  control 
over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be 
independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and 
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was 
maintained in all material respects. 

Our  audit  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a 
material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed 
risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides 
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures 
that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and 
expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the 
company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. 
Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

                                                                                                   /s/    Ernst & Young LLP

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Halozyme  Therapeutics,  Inc.  (the  Company)  as  of 
December  31,  2020  and  2019,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  (loss)  income, 
stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related 
notes  and  the  financial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  Index  at  Item  15(a)  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “consolidated 
financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above,  present  fairly,  in  all  material 
respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles.

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States)  (PCAOB),  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2020,  based  on  criteria 
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 23, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an 
opinion  on  the  Company’s  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the 
PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and 
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and 
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement, 
whether  due  to  error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the 
financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures 
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also 
included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the 
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements 
that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures 
that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The 
communication of this critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken 
as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit 
matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Estimation of Overall Transaction Price for Collaboration Agreements

Description of the Matter

How We Addressed the Matter in Our 
Audit

At December 31, 2020 the Company has ten collaboration agreements.  As 
discussed in Notes 2 and 4 of the financial statements, amounts are 
included in the transaction price when management determines that it is 
probable that the amount will not result in a significant reversal of revenue 
in the future. During 2020, the Company recognized $69.5 million of 
variable consideration in the transaction price under their collaboration 
arrangements.  

Auditing management’s conclusions related to determining the probability 
of achievement of milestones is complex and highly judgmental as a result 
of the uncertainties and limited visibility by the Company into the 
progression of developing and commercializing the combined targets as 
completed by the collaboration partners

We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design and tested the 
operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process to 
routinely evaluate the probability of achievement of milestones and any 
related constraint for each collaboration, in addition to the controls over the 
completeness and accuracy of determining the population of agreements 
and potential milestone payments.

To test the milestone amounts included, or excluded, from the transaction 
price, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, 
observing the quarterly meetings with accounting and Alliance Managers 
discussing the status of each collaboration. For each milestone, we 
examined available evidence including correspondence with the 
collaboration partner and evaluated management’s conclusions on the 
probabilities of achievement. We reviewed supporting documentation to 
corroborate that milestones were included in the transaction price when 
determined to be probable of achievement. We reviewed the collaboration 
agreements and related amendments to validate the completeness of the list 
of targets and potential milestone payments that management considered in 
their analysis. We performed a lookback analysis to validate the company’s 
accuracy of determining the probability of achieving these milestones.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2006.

Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Business 

Halozyme  Therapeutics,  Inc.  is  a  biopharma  technology  platform  company  that  provides  innovative  and  disruptive 
solutions with the goal of improving patient experience and outcomes. Our proprietary enzyme, rHuPH20, is used to facilitate 
the delivery of injected drugs and fluids. We license our technology to biopharmaceutical companies to collaboratively develop 
products that combine our ENHANZE® drug delivery technology with the collaborators’ proprietary compounds. 

Our  approved  product  and  our  collaborators’  approved  products  and  product  candidates  are  based  on  rHuPH20,  our 
patented  recombinant  human  hyaluronidase  enzyme.  rHuPH20  is  the  active  ingredient  in  our  first  commercially  approved 
product,  Hylenex®  recombinant  (“Hylenex”),  and  it  works  by  breaking  down  hyaluronan  (or  “HA”),  a  naturally  occurring 
carbohydrate that is a major component of the extracellular matrix in tissues throughout the body such as skin and cartilage. 
This temporarily increases dispersion and absorption allowing for improved subcutaneous delivery of injectable biologics, such 
as  monoclonal  antibodies  and  other  large  therapeutic  molecules,  as  well  as  small  molecules  and  fluids.  We  refer  to  the 
application  of  rHuPH20  to  facilitate  the  delivery  of  other  drugs  or  fluids  as  our  ENHANZE®  drug  delivery  technology 
(“ENHANZE”). We license the ENHANZE technology to form collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies that develop 
or  market  drugs  requiring  or  benefiting  from  injection  via  the  subcutaneous  route  of  administration.  In  the  development  of 
proprietary  intravenous  (IV)  drugs  combined  with  our  ENHANZE  technology,  data  have  been  generated  supporting  the 
potential  for  ENHANZE  to  reduce  treatment  burden,  as  a  result  of  shorter  duration  of  subcutaneous  (SC)  administration. 
ENHANZE may enable fixed-dose SC dosing compared to weight-based dosing required for IV administration, and potentially 
allow  for  lower  rates  of  infusion  related  reactions.  ENHANZE  may  enable  more  flexible  treatment  options  such  as  home 
administration  by  a  healthcare  professional  or  potentially  the  patient.  Lastly,  certain  proprietary  drugs  co-formulated  with 
ENHANZE have been granted additional exclusivity, extending the patent life of the product beyond the one of the proprietary 
IV drug.

We currently have ENHANZE collaborations with F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. (“Roche”), 
Baxalta US Inc. and Baxalta GmbH (now members of the Takeda group of companies, following the acquisition of Shire plc by 
Takeda  Pharmaceutical  Company  Limited  in  January  2019)  (“Baxalta”),  Pfizer  Inc.  (“Pfizer”),  Janssen  Biotech,  Inc. 
(“Janssen”),  AbbVie,  Inc.  (“AbbVie”),  Eli  Lilly  and  Company  (“Lilly”),  Bristol-Myers  Squibb  Company  (“BMS”),  Alexion 
Pharma Holding (“Alexion”), ARGENX BVBA (“argenx”) and Horizon Therapeutics plc. (Horizon). We receive royalties from 
three of these collaborations, including royalties from sales of one product from the Baxalta collaboration and three products 
from  the  Roche  collaboration  and  one  product  from  Janssen  collaboration.  Future  potential  revenues  from  royalties  and  fees 
from ENHANZE collaborations and the sales and/or royalties of our approved products will depend on the ability of Halozyme 
and  our  collaborators  to  develop,  manufacture,  secure  and  maintain  regulatory  approvals  for  approved  products  and  product 
candidates and commercialize product candidates.

Except  where  specifically  noted  or  the  context  otherwise  requires,  references  to  “Halozyme,”  “the  Company,”  “we,” 
“our,” and “us” in these notes to consolidated financial statements refer to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned 
subsidiary, Halozyme, Inc., and Halozyme, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Halozyme Holdings Ltd.,  Halozyme Switzerland 
GmbH and Halozyme Switzerland Holdings GmbH.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Halozyme  Therapeutics,  Inc.  and  our  wholly  owned 
subsidiary, Halozyme, Inc., and Halozyme, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Halozyme Holdings Ltd., Halozyme Switzerland 
GmbH and Halozyme Switzerland Holdings GmbH. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
(“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated 
financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, which are based 
on  historical  and  anticipated  results  and  trends  and  on  various  other  assumptions  that  management  believes  to  be  reasonable 
under the circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results 
may differ from management’s estimates.

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, readily convertible to cash, that mature within ninety days or less 

from the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2020, our cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.

Marketable securities are investments with original maturities of more than ninety days from the date of purchase that are 
specifically identified to fund current operations. Marketable securities are considered available-for-sale. These investments are 
classified as current assets, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date 
which  reflects  management’s  intention  to  use  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  these  investments  to  fund  our  operations,  as 
necessary.  Such  available-for-sale  investments  are  carried  at  fair  value  with  unrealized  gains  and  losses  recorded  in  other 
comprehensive  income (loss) and included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of marketable securities 
is adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts to maturity, and such amortization or accretion is included in 
investment  and  other  income,  net  in  the  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  We  use  the  specific  identification  method  for 
calculating realized gains and losses on marketable securities sold. None of the realized gains and losses and declines in value 
judged to be as a result of credit loss on marketable securities, if any, are included in investment and other income, net in the 
consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted Cash

Under the terms of the leases of our facilities, we are required to maintain letters of credit as security deposits during the 
terms of such leases. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, restricted cash of $0.5 million was pledged as collateral for the letters of 
credit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the 
inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active 
markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; 
and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its 
own assumptions. 

Our financial instruments include cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities, accounts receivable, prepaid 
expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term debt. Fair value estimates of these instruments 
are  made  at  a  specific  point  in  time,  based  on  relevant  market  information.  These  estimates  may  be  subjective  in  nature  and 
involve  uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant  judgment  and  therefore  cannot  be  determined  with  precision.  The  carrying 
amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses are 
generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.

Available-for-sale  marketable  securities  consist  of  asset-backed  securities,  corporate  debt  securities,  U.S.  Treasury 
securities and commercial paper, and are measured at fair value using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. Level 2 financial instruments 
are  valued  using  market  prices  on  less  active  markets  and  proprietary  pricing  valuation  models  with  observable  inputs, 
including interest rates, yield curves, maturity dates, issue dates, settlement dates, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue 
spreads, benchmark securities or other market related data. We obtain the fair value of Level 2 investments from our investment 
manager,  who  obtains  these  fair  values  from  a  third-party  pricing  source.  We  validate  the  fair  values  of  Level  2  financial 
instruments provided by our investment manager by comparing these fair values to a third-party pricing source.

Concentrations of Credit Risk, Sources of Supply and Significant Customers

We are subject to credit risk from our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities. These investments were 
made  in  accordance  with  our  investment  policy  which  specifies  the  categories,  allocations,  and  ratings  of  securities  we  may 
consider  for  investment.  The  primary  objective  of  our  investment  activities  is  to  preserve  principal  while  at  the  same  time 
maximizing  the  income  we  receive  without  significantly  increasing  risk.  We  maintain  our  cash  and  cash  equivalent  balances 
with one major commercial bank and marketable securities with another financial institution. Deposits held with the financial 
institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by 
the financial institutions holding our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to the extent recorded on the consolidated 
balance sheets. 

We are also subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales and revenues under our license 
and collaborative agreements. We have license and collaborative agreements with pharmaceutical companies under which we 
receive  payments  for  royalties,  license  fees,  milestone  payments  for  specific  achievements  designated  in  the  collaborative 
agreements, reimbursements of research and development services and supply of bulk formulation of rHuPH20. In addition, we 
sell Hylenex® recombinant in the United States to a limited number of established wholesale distributors in the pharmaceutical 
industry.  Credit  is  extended  based  on  an  evaluation  of  the  customer’s  financial  condition,  and  collateral  is  not  required. 
Management  monitors  our  exposure  to  accounts  receivable  by  periodically  evaluating  the  collectability  of  the  accounts 
receivable  based  on  a  variety  of  factors  including  the  length  of  time  the  receivables  are  past  due,  the  financial  health  of  the 
customer and historical experience. Based upon the review of these factors, we recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts at 
December  31,  2020  and  2019.  Approximately  74%  of  the  accounts  receivable  balance  at  December  31,  2020  represents 
amounts due from Janssen, Roche and Baxalta. Approximately 93% of the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2019 
represents amounts due from Janssen, Roche and Baxalta.

We  rely  on  two  third-party  manufacturers  for  the  supply  of  bulk  rHuPH20  for  use  in  the  manufacture  of  Hylenex 
recombinant and our other collaboration products and product candidates. Payments due to these suppliers represented 75% and 
47% of the accounts payable balance at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We also rely on a third-party manufacturer 
for the fill and finish of Hylenex recombinant product under a contract. Payments due to this supplier represented zero and 8% 
of the accounts payable balance at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and is non-interest bearing. Accounts receivable is recorded net 
of  allowances  for  doubtful  accounts,  cash  discounts  for  prompt  payment,  distribution  fees  and  chargebacks.  We  recorded  no 
allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  at  December  31,  2020  and  2019  as  the  collectability  of  accounts  receivable  was  reasonably 
assured.

Inventories

Inventories  are  stated  at  lower  of  cost  or  net  realizable  value.  Cost  is  determined  on  a  first-in,  first-out  basis.  Net 
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, 
disposal, and transportation. Inventories are reviewed periodically for potential excess, dated or obsolete status. We evaluate the 
carrying  value  of  inventories  on  a  regular  basis,  taking  into  account  such  factors  as  historical  and  anticipated  future  sales 
compared to quantities on hand, the price we expect to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical 
cost and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand.

As  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  inventories  consisted  of  $1.3  million  and  $1.4  million,  respectively,  of  Hylenex  
inventory, net and $59.4 million and $28.0 million, respectively, of bulk rHuPH20, consistent with our plan to build inventory 
to meet future customer demand.

Leases

The  Company  has  entered  into  operating  leases  primarily  for  real  estate  and  automobiles.  These  leases  have  terms 
which range from 3 years to 6 years. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Right of use (“ROU”) assets 
and  liabilities  resulting  from  operating  leases  are  included  in  property  and  equipment,  accrued  expenses  and  other  long-term 
liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present 
value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide 
an  implicit  rate,  we  use  our  incremental  borrowing  rate  based  on  the  information  available  at  commencement  date  in 
determining the discount rate to calculate the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes 
any  lease  payments  made  and  excludes  lease  incentives  and  initial  direct  costs  incurred.  Our  leases  often  include  options  to 
extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise 
that option.  Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for 
minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

We  have  lease  agreements  with  lease  and  non-lease  components,  which  are  generally  accounted  for  separately.  For 
certain equipment leases, such as automobiles, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. 

Property and Equipment, Net

Property  and  equipment,  including  ROU  assets  are  recorded  at  cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization. 
Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life ranging from three years to ten years and 
leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  asset  or  the  lease 
term, whichever is shorter. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We  account  for  long-lived  assets  in  accordance  with  authoritative  guidance  for  impairment  or  disposal  of  long-lived 
assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not 
be recoverable. 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during the period from transactions and other events and 

circumstances from non-owner sources.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues from payments received under collaborative agreements and product sales. We recognize revenue 
when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be 
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers we perform the 
following five steps: (i) identify the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the 
contract, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including the 
constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) 
recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligations.

Revenues under Collaborative Agreements

Under these agreements, we grant the collaboration partner a worldwide license to develop and commercialize products 
using our ENHANZE technology to combine our patented rHuPH20 enzyme with their proprietary biologics directed at up to a 
specified number of targets. Targets are usually licensed on an exclusive, global basis. Targets selected subsequent to inception 
of the arrangement require payment of an additional license fee. The collaboration partner is responsible for all development, 
manufacturing,  clinical,  regulatory,  sales  and  marketing  costs  for  any  products  developed  under  the  agreement.  We  are 
responsible  for  supply  of  bulk  rHuPH20  based  on  the  collaboration  partner’s  purchase  orders,  and  may  also  be  separately 
engaged to perform research and development services. While these collaboration agreements are similar in that they originate 
from the same framework, each one is the result of an arms-length negotiation and thus may vary from one to the other.

We collect an upfront license payment from collaboration partners, and are also entitled to receive event-based payments 
subject  to  collaboration  partners’  achievement  of  specified  development,  regulatory  and  sales-based  milestones.  In  several 
agreements, collaboration partners pay us annual fees to maintain their exclusive license rights if they are unable to advance 
product  development  to  specified  stages.  We  earn  separate  fees  for  bulk  rHuPH20  supplies  and  research  and  development 
services. In addition, collaboration partners will pay us royalties at an on average mid-single digit percent rate of their sales if 
products under the collaboration are commercialized. All amounts owed to us are noncancelable after the underlying triggering 
event  occurs,  and  nonrefundable  once  paid.  Unless  terminated  earlier  in  accordance  with  its  terms,  collaborations  generally 
continue  in  effect  until  the  last  to  expire  royalty  payment  term,  as  determined  on  a  product  by  product  and  on  a  country  by 
country basis, with each royalty term starting on the first commercial sale of that product and ending the later of: (i) a specified 
period  or  term  set  forth  in  the  agreement  or    (ii)  expiration  of  the  last  to  expire  of  the  valid  claims  of  our  patents  covering 
rHuPH20 or other specified patents developed under the collaboration which valid claim covers a product developed under the 
collaboration. When there are no valid claims during the applicable royalty term in a given country, the royalty rate is reduced 
for  those  sales.  Collaboration  partners  may  terminate  the  agreement  prior  to  expiration  for  any  reason  in  its  entirety  or  on  a 
target-by-target  basis  generally  upon  90  days  prior  written  notice  to  us.  Upon  any  such  termination,  the  license  granted  to 
collaboration partners (in total or with respect to the terminated target, as applicable) will terminate provided, however, that in 
the event of expiration of the agreement (as opposed to a termination), the on-going licenses granted will become perpetual, 
non-exclusive and fully paid.

Although these agreements are in form identified as collaborative agreements, we concluded for accounting purposes they 
represent contracts with customers, and are not subject to accounting literature on collaborative arrangements. This is because 
we grant to collaboration partners licenses to our intellectual property, and provide supply of bulk rHuPH20 and research and 
development services which are all outputs of our ongoing activities, in exchange for consideration. Under these collaborative 
agreements,  we  do  not  develop  assets  jointly  with  collaboration  partners,  and  do  not  share  in  significant  risks  of  their 
development  or  commercialization  activities.  Accordingly,  we  concluded  our  collaborative  agreements  are  appropriately 
accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 

Under all of our collaborative agreements, we have identified licenses to use functional intellectual property as the only 
performance  obligation.  The  intellectual  property  underlying  the  license  is  our  proprietary  ENHANZE®  technology  which 
represents application of rHuPH20 to facilitate delivery of drugs or fluids. Each of the licenses grants the collaboration partners 
rights  to  use  our  intellectual  property  as  it  exists  and  is  identified  on  the  effective  date  of  the  license,  because  there  is  no 
ongoing development of the ENHANZE technology required. Therefore, we recognize revenue from licenses at the point when 
the  license  becomes  effective  and  the  collaboration  partner  has  received  access  to  our  intellectual  property,  usually  at  the 
inception of the agreement.

When  collaboration  partners  can  select  additional  targets  to  add  to  the  licenses  granted,  we  consider  these  rights  to  be 
options.  We  evaluate  whether  such  options  contain  material  rights,  i.e.  have  exercise  prices  that  are  discounted  compared  to 
what  we  would  charge  for  a  similar  license  to  a  new  collaboration  partner.  The  exercise  price  of  these  options  includes  a 
combination of the target selection fees, event-based milestone payments and royalties. When these amounts in aggregate are 
not offered at a discount that exceeds discounts available to other customers, we conclude the option does not contain a material 

F-13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

right,  and  we  consider  grants  of  additional  licensing  rights  upon  option  exercises  to  be  separate  contracts  (target  selection 
contracts).

We  provide  customary  indemnification  and  protection  of  licensed  intellectual  property  for  our  customers.  These 
provisions are part of assurance that the licenses meet the agreements’ representations and are not obligations to provide goods 
or services.

We also fulfill purchase orders for supply of bulk rHuPH20 and perform research and development services pursuant to 
projects  authorization  forms  for  our  collaboration  partners,  which  represent  separate  contracts.  Additionally,  we  price  our 
supply of bulk rHuPH20 and research and development services at our regular selling prices, called standalone selling price or 
SSP. Therefore, our collaboration partners do not have material rights to order these items at prices not reflective of SSP. Refer 
to the discussion below regarding recognition of revenue for these separate contracts.

Transaction  price  for  a  contract  represents  the  amount  to  which  we  are  entitled  in  exchange  for  providing  goods  and 
services to the customer. Transaction price does not include amounts subject to uncertainties unless it is probable that there will 
be  no  significant  reversal  of  revenue  when  the  uncertainty  is  resolved.  Apart  from  the  upfront  license  payment  (or  target 
selection  fees  in  the  target  selection  contracts),  all  other  fees  we  may  earn  under  our  collaborative  agreements  are  subject  to 
significant  uncertainties  of  product  development.  Achievement  of  many  of  the  event-based  development  and  regulatory 
milestones  may  not  be  probable  until  such  milestones  are  actually  achieved.  This  generally  relates  to  milestones  such  as 
obtaining marketing authorization approvals. With respect to other development milestones, e.g. dosing of a first patient in a 
clinical  trial,  achievement  could  be  considered  probable  prior  to  its  actual  occurrence,  based  on  the  progress  towards 
commencement of the trial. In order to evaluate progress towards commencement of a trial, we assess the status of activities 
leading up to our collaboration partner’s initiation of a trial such as feedback received from the FDA (if applicable), completion 
of  IND  filings,  readiness  and  availability  of  drug,  readiness  of  study  sites  and  our  collaboration  partner’s  commitment  of 
resources to the program. We do not include any amounts subject to uncertainties into the transaction price until it is probable 
that  the  amount  will  not  result  in  a  significant  reversal  of  revenue  in  the  future.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  we  re-
evaluate the probability of achievement of such milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjust our estimate of 
the overall transaction price.

When  target  exchange  rights  are  held  by  collaboration  partners,  and  the  amounts  attributed  to  these  rights  are  not 
refundable,  they  are  included  in  the  transaction  price.  However,  they  are  recorded  as  deferred  revenues  because  we  have  a 
potential performance obligation to provide a new target upon an exchange right being exercised. These amounts are recognized 
in revenue when the right of exchange expires or is exercised.

Because our agreements have one type of performance obligation (licenses) which are typically all transferred at the same 
time at agreement inception, allocation of transaction price often is not required. However, allocation is required when licenses 
for  some  of  the  individual  targets  are  subject  to  rights  of  exchange,  because  revenue  associated  with  these  targets  cannot  be 
recognized.  We  perform  an  allocation  of  the  upfront  amount  based  on  relative  SSP  of  licenses  for  individual  targets.  We 
determine license SSP using income-based valuation approach utilizing risk-adjusted discounted cash flow projections of the 
estimated return a licensor would receive. When amounts subject to uncertainties, such as milestones and royalties, are included 
in  the  transaction  price,  we  attribute  them  to  the  specific  individual  target  licenses  which  generate  such  milestone  or  royalty 
amounts.

We  also  estimate  SSP  of  bulk  rHuPH20  and  research  and  development  services,  to  determine  that  our  collaboration 
partners do not have material rights to order them at discounted prices. For supplies of bulk rHuPH20, because we effectively 
act  as  a  contract  manufacturer  to  our  collaboration  partners,  we  estimate  and  charge  SSP  based  on  the  typical  contract 
manufacturer  margins  consistently  with  all  of  our  collaborative  partners.  We  determine  SSP  of  research  and  development 
services based on a fully-burdened labor rate. Our rates are comparable to those we observe in other collaborative agreements. 
We also have a history of charging similar rates to all of our collaboration partners.

Upfront amounts allocated to licenses to individual targets are recognized as revenue when the license is transferred to the 
collaboration partner, as discussed above, if the license is not subject to exchange rights, or when the exchange right expires or 
is exercised. Development milestones and other fees are recognized in revenue when they are included in the transaction price, 
because by that time we have already transferred the related license to the collaboration partner.

Sales-based  milestones  and  royalties  cannot  be  recognized  until  the  underlying  sales  occur.  We  do  not  receive  final 
royalty reports from our collaboration partners until after we complete our financial statements for a prior quarter. Therefore, 
we recognize revenue based on estimates of the royalty earned, which are based on internal estimates and available preliminary 
reports provided by our collaboration partners. We will record a true-up in the following quarter if necessary, when final royalty 
reports are received. To date, we have not recorded any material true-ups.

In contracts to provide research and development services, such services represent the only performance obligation. The 
fees are charged based on hours worked by our employees and the fixed contractual rate per hour, plus third-party pass-through 
costs,  on  a  monthly  basis.  We  recognize  revenues  as  the  related  services  are  performed  based  on  the  amounts  billed,  as  the 
collaboration partner consumes the benefit of research and development work simultaneously as we perform these services, and 
the amounts billed reflect the value of these services to the customer.

Refer to Note 4 Revenue, for further discussion on our collaborative arrangements.

Product Sales, Net

Hylenex Recombinant

We sell Hylenex recombinant in the U.S. to wholesale pharmaceutical distributors, who sell the product to hospitals and 
other end-user customers. Sales to wholesalers are made pursuant to purchase orders subject to the terms of a master agreement, 
and delivery of individual packages of Hylenex recombinant represent performance obligations under each purchase order. We 
use  a  contract  manufacturer  to  produce  Hylenex  recombinant  and  a  third-party  logistics  (3PL)  vendor  to  process  and  fulfill 
orders. We concluded we are the principal in the sales to wholesalers because we control access to services rendered by both 
vendors and direct their activities. We have no significant obligations to wholesalers to generate pull-through sales.

Selling  prices  initially  billed  to  wholesalers  are  subject  to  discounts  for  prompt  payment  and  subsequent  chargebacks 
when  wholesalers  sell  Hylenex  recombinant  at  negotiated  discounted  prices  to  members  of  certain  group  purchasing 
organizations (“GPOs”) and government programs. We also pay quarterly distribution fees to certain wholesalers for inventory 
reporting  and  chargeback  processing,  and  to  GPOs  as  administrative  fees  for  services  and  for  access  to  GPO  members.  We 
concluded  the  benefits  received  in  exchange  for  these  fees  are  not  distinct  from  our  sales  of  Hylenex  recombinant,  and 
accordingly we apply these amounts to reduce revenues. Wholesalers also have rights to return unsold product nearing or past 
the expiration date. Because of the shelf life of Hylenex recombinant and our lengthy return period, there may be a significant 
period of time between when the product is shipped and when we issue credits on returned product.

We estimate the transaction price when we receive each purchase order taking into account the expected reductions of the 
selling price initially billed to the wholesaler arising from all of the above factors. We have compiled historical experience and 
data to estimate future returns and chargebacks of Hylenex recombinant and the impact of the other discounts and fees we pay. 
When estimating these adjustments to the transaction price, we reduce it sufficiently to be able to assert that it is probable that 
there will be no significant reversal of revenue when the ultimate adjustment amounts are known.

Each  purchase  order  contains  only  one  type  of  product,  and  is  usually  shipped  to  the  wholesaler  in  a  single  shipment. 

Therefore, allocation of the transaction price to individual packages is not required.

We  recognize  revenue  from  Hylenex  recombinant  product  sales  and  related  cost  of  sales  upon  product  delivery  to  the 
wholesaler  location.  At  that  time,  the  wholesalers  take  control  of  the  product  as  they  take  title,  bear  the  risk  of  loss  of 
ownership, and have an enforceable obligation to pay us. They also have the ability to direct sales of product to their customers 
on  terms  and  at  prices  they  negotiate.  Although  wholesalers  have  product  return  rights,  we  do  not  believe  they  have  a 
significant incentive to return the product to us.

Upon  recognition  of  revenue  from  product  sales  of  Hylenex  recombinant,  the  estimated  amounts  of  credit  for  product 
returns,  chargebacks,  distribution  fees,  prompt  payment  discounts,  and  GPO  fees  are  included  in  sales  reserves,  accrued 
liabilities and net of accounts receivable. We monitor actual product returns, chargebacks, discounts and fees subsequent to the 
sale.  If  these  amounts  differ  from  our  estimates,  we  make  adjustments  to  these  allowances,  which  are  applied  to  increase  or 
reduce product sales revenue and earnings in the period of adjustment.

In  connection  with  the  orders  placed  by  wholesalers,  we  incur  costs  such  as  commissions  to  our  sales  representatives. 
However, as revenue from product sales is recognized upon delivery to the wholesaler, which occurs shortly after we receive a 
purchase order, we do not capitalize these commissions and other costs, based on application of the practical expedient allowed 
within the applicable guidance.

Bulk rHuPH20 

We sell bulk rHuPH20 to collaboration partners for use in research and development; subsequent to receiving marketing 
approval,  we  sell  it  for  use  in  collaboration  commercial  products.  Sales  are  made  pursuant  to  purchase  orders  subject  to  the 
terms  of  the  collaborative  agreement,  and  delivery  of  units  of  bulk  rHuPH20  represent  performance  obligations  under  each 
purchase order. We provide a standard warranty that the product conforms to specifications. We use contract manufacturers to 
produce bulk rHuPH20 and have concluded we are the principal in the sales to collaboration partners. The transaction price for 
each purchase order of bulk rHuPH20 is fixed based on the cost of production plus a contractual markup, and is not subject to 
adjustments. Allocation of the transaction price to individual quantities of the product is usually not required because each order 
contains only one type of product.

We recognize revenue from the sale of bulk rHuPH20 as product sales and related cost of sales upon transfer of title to our 
partners.  At  that  time,  the  partners  take  control  of  the  product,  bear  the  risk  of  loss  of  ownership,  and  have  an  enforceable 
obligation to pay us.

ENHANZE Drug Product 

We  sell  ENHANZE  drug  product  to  collaboration  partners  for  use  in  research  and  development  in  early  phase  clinical 
studies. Sales are made pursuant to purchase orders subject to the terms of the collaborative agreement, and delivery of units of 
ENHANZE drug product represent performance obligations under each purchase order. We provide a standard warranty that 
the product conforms to specifications. We use contract manufacturers to produce ENHANZE drug product and we concluded 
we  are  the  principal  in  the  sales  to  collaboration  partners.  The  transaction  price  for  each  purchase  order  of  ENHANZE  drug 
product is fixed based on the cost of production plus a contractual markup, and is not subject to adjustments. Allocation of the 
transaction  price  to  individual  quantities  of  the  product  is  usually  not  required  because  each  order  contains  only  one  type  of 
product.

We recognize revenue from the sale of ENHANZE drug product as product sales and related cost of sales upon transfer of 
title  to  our  partners.  At  that  time,  the  partners  take  control  of  the  product,  bear  the  risk  of  loss  of  ownership,  and  have  an 
enforceable obligation to pay us.

Revenue Presentation

In our statements of operations, we report as revenues under collaborative agreements the upfront payments, event-based 
development and regulatory milestones and sales milestones. We also include in this category revenues from separate research 
and development contracts pursuant to project authorization forms. We report royalties received from collaboration partners as 
a separate line in our statements of operations.

Revenues from sales of Hylenex recombinant, bulk rHuPH20 that has alternative future use and ENHANZE drug product 

are included in product sales, net.

In  the  footnotes  to  our  financial  statements,  we  provide  disaggregated  revenue  information  by  type  of  arrangement 
(product  sales,  net,  collaborative  agreements  and  research  and  development  services),  and  additionally,  by  type  of  payment 
stream received under collaborative agreements (upfront license fees, event-based development and regulatory milestones and 
other fees, sales milestones and royalties).

Cost of Product Sales

Cost  of  product  sales  consists  primarily  of  raw  materials,  third-party  manufacturing  costs,  fill  and  finish  costs,  freight 
costs,  internal  costs  and  manufacturing  overhead  associated  with  the  production  of  Hylenex  recombinant  and  bulk  rHuPH20 
and ENHANZE drug product. Cost of product sales also consists of the write-down of excess, dated and obsolete inventories 
and the write-off of inventories that do not meet certain product specifications, if any.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include salaries and benefits, facilities and other overhead expenses, external clinical 
trial expenses, research related manufacturing services, contract services and other outside expenses. Research and development 
expenses are charged to operating expenses as incurred when these expenditures relate to our research and development efforts 
and  have  no  alternative  future  uses.  When  bulk  rHuPH20  is  manufactured  for  use  in  research  and  development  by  us  or  our 
partners  and  the  product  cannot  be  redirected  for  alternative  use  due  to  formulation  and  manufacturing  specifications,  the 
manufacturing  costs  are  recorded  as  research  and  development  expense.  Bulk  rHuPH20  that  is  manufactured  for  partner  use 
prior  to  our  partner  receiving  marketing  approval  from  the  FDA  or  comparable  regulatory  agencies  in  foreign  countries  and 
meet  these  specifications  is  recorded  as  research  and  development  expenses.  Bulk  rHuPH20  formulations  manufactured  for 
general partner and internal use, which can potentially be used by any collaboration partner or by us in Hylenex, is considered 
to have alternative future use and all manufacturing costs are capitalized as inventory.

We are obligated to make upfront payments upon execution of certain research and development agreements. Advance 
payments,  including  nonrefundable  amounts,  for  goods  or  services  that  will  be  used  or  rendered  for  future  research  and 
development activities are deferred. Such amounts are recognized as expense as the related goods are delivered or the related 
services are performed or such time when we do not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be performed.

Milestone payments that we make in connection with in-licensed technology for a particular research and development 
project that have no alternative future uses (in other research and development projects or otherwise) and therefore no separate 
economic value are expensed as research and development costs at the time the costs are incurred. We currently have no in-
licensed technologies that have alternative future uses in research and development projects or otherwise.

Clinical Trial Expenses

We make payments in connection with our clinical trials under contracts with contract research organizations that support 
conducting  and  managing  clinical  trials.  The  financial  terms  of  these  agreements  are  subject  to  negotiation  and  vary  from 
contract  to  contract  and  may  result  in  uneven  payment  flows.  Generally,  these  agreements  set  forth  the  scope  of  work  to  be 
performed at a fixed fee, unit price or on a time and materials basis. A portion of our obligation to make payments under these 
contracts depends on factors such as the successful enrollment or treatment of patients or the completion of other clinical trial 
milestones. 

Expenses  related  to  clinical  trials  are  accrued  based  on  our  estimates  and/or  representations  from  service  providers 
regarding  work  performed,  including  actual  level  of  patient  enrollment,  completion  of  patient  studies  and  progress  of  the 
clinical  trials.  Other  incidental  costs  related  to  patient  enrollment  or  treatment  are  accrued  when  reasonably  certain.  If  the 
amounts  we  are  obligated  to  pay  under  our  clinical  trial  agreements  are  modified  (for  instance,  as  a  result  of  changes  in  the 
clinical trial protocol or scope of work to be performed), we adjust our accruals accordingly on a prospective basis. Revisions to 
our contractual payment obligations are charged to expense in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become 
reasonably certain. 

Share-Based Compensation

We record compensation expense associated with stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units 
(“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) in accordance with the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation. 
The cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument is measured at the grant date, based on 
the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of 
the award. Share-based compensation expense for an award with a performance condition is recognized when the achievement 
of such performance condition is determined to be probable. If the outcome of such performance condition is not determined to 
be  probable  or  is  not  met,  no  compensation  expense  is  recognized  and  any  previously  recognized  compensation  expense  is 
reversed. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of share-based compensation expense as they occur.

We provide for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are 
determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities at each 
year end and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences 
are expected to affect taxable income. Significant judgment is required by management to determine our provision for income 
taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation allowance to record against our net deferred tax assets, which are 
based on complex and evolving tax regulations throughout the world. Deferred tax assets and other tax benefits are recorded 
when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon audit. While we have begun to utilize certain of our net 
operating  losses,  we  have  not  yet  established  a  track  record  of  profitability.  Accordingly,  valuation  allowances  have  been 
recorded to reduce our net deferred tax assets to zero until such time as we can demonstrate an ability to realize them.

In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES 
Act”)  was  enacted  on  March  27,  2020  in  the  U.S.  The  CARES  Act  includes  many  measures  to  assist  companies,  including 
temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. One of the key tax provisions of the bill is allowing taxpayers 
with AMT credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credit instead of recovering the credit through refunds 
over a period of years, as originally enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) in 2017. Under the TCJA, we had recorded 
a receivable for AMT credits that was expected to be received in future years. Under the CARES Act, the remaining receivable 
for the AMT credit is fully refundable in 2020. Other than the refundability of the AMT credit, at this time, we do not believe 
that  the  CARES  Act  will  have  a  material  impact  on  our  financial  statements.  On  December  27,  2020  the  Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law. It provides additional COVID-19 focused relief and extends certain provisions 
of the CARES Act. At this time, we do not believe that the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 will have a material impact 
on our financial statements.

Net  Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic  net  income  (loss)  per  common  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss)  for  the  period  by  the  weighted 
average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period,  without  consideration  for  common  stock  equivalents. 
Outstanding stock options, unvested RSAs, unvested RSUs, unvested PSUs and the Convertible Notes are considered common 
stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when net income is reported 
and their effect is dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, approximately 1.7 million, 33.1 million, 
and  13.8  million  shares,  respectively,  of  outstanding  stock  options,  unvested  RSAs,  unvested  RSUs,  unvested  PSUs  and  the 
Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share because their effect was 
anti-dilutive.

The 19.3 million shares underlying the conversion option of the Convertible Notes does not have an impact on our diluted 
earnings per share when the average market price of our common stock is less than the conversion price of $23.85 per share, as 
we will settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. When the average market price of our 
common stock exceeds the conversion price, we compute the potentially dilutive impact of the shares of common stock related 
to the Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method.

 A reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share 

computations is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Adoption and Pending Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting standards, those adopted in the current 

period and those not yet adopted:

Standard

Description

Effective Date

January 1, 2022
(Early adoption 
permitted 
effective January 
1, 2021)

In August 2020, the 
FASB issued ASU 
2020-06, Debt with 
Conversion and other 
Options (Subtopic 
470-20) and 
Derivatives and 
Hedging - Contracts in 
Entity’s Own Equity 
(Subtopic 815-40)

The new guidance eliminates 
the beneficial conversion and 
cash conversion accounting 
models for convertible 
instruments. It also amends 
the accounting for certain 
contracts in an entity’s own 
equity that are currently 
accounted for as derivatives 
because of specific settlement 
provisions. In addition, the 
new guidance requires that the 
if-converted method is used in 
computing diluted EPS for all 
convertible instruments

Effect on the Financial 
Statements or Other Significant Matters

We plan to early adopt ASU 2020-06 as of 
January 1, 2021 on a modified retrospective 
basis, which is expected to result in an 
approximate $65.6 million decrease in 
additional paid in capital from the derecognition 
of the bifurcated equity component, $52.6 
million increase in debt from the derecognition 
of the discount associated with the bifurcated 
equity component and $13.0 million decrease to 
the opening balance of accumulated deficit, 
representing the cumulative non-cash interest 
expense recognized related to the amortization 
of the bifurcated conversion option. We expect 
to write-off the related deferred tax liabilities of 
$11.8 million with a corresponding adjustment 
to the valuation allowance, resulting in no net 
impact to the cumulative adjustment to retained 
earnings. As we intended and have the ability to 
settle the principal amount of the convertible 
notes in cash upon conversion, in January 2021 
we notified the note holders that we will settle 
the principal of the convertible notes in cash, 
removing our option to settle the principal of 
the notes in shares. Therefore, shares used for 
diluted EPS will continue to be limited to the 
excess conversion value over the principal 
amount of the convertible note. Diluted 
earnings per share will be impacted due to the 
elimination of non-cash interest expense 
associated with the amortization of the equity 
component.

In August 2018, the 
FASB issued ASU 
2018-15, Intangibles-
Goodwill and other 
Internal-Use Software 
(Subtopic 350-40)

The new guidance aligns the 
requirement for capitalizing 
implementation costs incurred 
in a hosting arrangement that 
is a service contract with the 
requirement for capitalizing 
implementation costs incurred 
to develop or obtain internal-
use software (and hosting 
arrangements that include an 
internal-use software license).

January 1, 2020 We adopted the new guidance on January 1, 
2020. The adoption did not have a material 
impact on our condensed consolidated financial 
position or results of operations.

January 1, 2020 We adopted the new guidance on January 1, 
2020. The adoption did not have a material 
impact on our condensed consolidated financial 
position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the 
FASB issued ASU 
2016-13, Financial 
Instruments - Credit 
Losses (Topic 326), 
Measurement of Credit 
Losses on Financial 
Instruments

The standard amends the 
impairment model by 
requiring entities to use a 
forward-looking approach 
based on expected losses to 
estimate credit losses for most 
financial assets and certain 
other instruments that aren’t 
measured at fair value through 
net income. For available-for-
sale debt securities, entities 
will be required to recognize 
an allowance for credit losses 
rather than a reduction in 
carrying value of the asset. 
Entities will no longer be 
permitted to consider the 
length of time that fair value 
has been less than amortized 
cost when evaluating when 
credit losses should be 
recognized.

not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 we recognized revenue related to licenses granted to collaboration partners in 
prior  periods  in  the  amount  of  $173.1  million.  This  amount  represents  royalties  and  sales  milestones  earned  in  the  current 
period,  as  well  as  $69.5  million  of  variable  consideration  in  the  contracts  where  uncertainties  have  been  resolved  and  the 
development milestones are probable of being achieved or were achieved. We also recognized revenue of $4.1 million during 
the year ended December 31, 2020 that had been included in deferred revenues at December 31, 2019. We did not recognize 
any adjustments to reduce sales reserves and allowances liability related to Hylenex recombinant sales in prior periods.

Upon  the  adoption  of  ASC  606,  we  recognized  an  adjustment  to  increase  our  accounts  receivable  by  $19.4  million, 
decrease deferred revenues by $51.8 million, and decrease accumulated deficit by $71.2 million. The impact of applying the 
provisions of ASC 606 in the year ended December 31, 2018 was to decrease revenues by $4.7 million. Under the previously 
existing authoritative accounting literature, at December 31, 2018 our accounts receivable, net would have been $19.3 million 
lower, and our deferred revenue $47.4 million higher, than the amounts reported in our consolidated balance sheet. ASC 606 
did not have an aggregate impact on our net cash used in operating activities, but resulted in offsetting changes in net loss and 
certain assets and liabilities within net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

6. Debt, Net

Convertible Notes

In November 2019, we completed the sale of $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior 
Notes due 2024 (“Convertible Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the 
Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (“Securities  Act”).  The  Convertible  Notes  were  issued  under  an  indenture,  dated  as  of 
November 18, 2019, (“Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The offer and sale of 
the  Convertible  Notes  and  the  shares  of  common  stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of  the  Convertible  Notes  have  not  been 
registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the Convertible Notes and such shares 
may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements, or in a transaction not 
subject to, such registration requirements.

We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $447.4 million. We used $200.0 million of the net proceeds 
from the offering to repurchase shares of common stock, including approximately $143.1 million to repurchase approximately 
8.1  million  shares  of  common  stock  concurrently  with  the  offering  in  privately  negotiated  transactions,  $6.9  million  in  open 
market  purchases  and  $50.0  million  to  repurchase  a  total  of  approximately  2.6  million  shares  of  common  stock  through  an 
accelerated share repurchase agreement.

We  used  approximately  $26.1  million  of  the  net  proceeds  from  the  offering  to  repay  all  outstanding  amounts  under  its 
loan agreement with Oxford Finance and Silicon Valley Bank and intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general 
corporate purposes, including additional share repurchases subsequent to the offering and working capital.

The Convertible Notes will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1st and December 1st of each year, beginning on 
June 1, 2020, at an annual rate of 1.25%. As of December 31, 2020, the Convertible Notes were convertible into cash, shares of

common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate at 
such time. The Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all indebtedness 
that  is  expressly  subordinated  in  right  of  payment  to  the  Convertible  Notes,  will  rank  equally  in  right  of  payment  with  all 
existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, will be effectively junior to any secured indebtedness to the extent of 
the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities 
(including trade payables) of the our current or future subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes have a maturity date of December 1, 
2024.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option only in the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar 
quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2020, if the last reported sale price per share of common 
stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending 
on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business 
days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (such  five consecutive trading day period, the “measurement 
period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was 
less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Company’s common stock on such trading day and the 
conversion  rate  on  such  trading  day;  (3)  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  corporate  events  or  distributions  on  Company’s 
common stock, as described in the offering memorandum; (4) if we call such notes for redemption; and (5) at any time from, 
and including, June 1, 2024 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. 

Upon the occurrence of certain circumstances, holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion 
of their notes for cash, which may require the use of a substantial amount of cash. As of December 31, 2020, the conditional 
conversion feature was triggered and our notes are classified as a current liability. We believe that it is remote that holders of 
the notes would choose to convert their notes early because the fair value of the security that a note holder can currently realize 
in an active market is greater than the conversion value the note holder would realize upon early conversion. For the year ended 
December 31, 2020, we have positive operating income and positive cash flow from operations and, accordingly, while there 
can  be  no  assurance,  we  believe  we  have  the  ability  to  generate  sufficient  cash  flows  from  operations  or  to  raise  additional 
capital through a variety of financing arrangements to satisfy early conversion of the Convertible Notes.

As a result of our plans to early adopt ASU 2020-06, in January 2021 we notified the note holders that we will settle the 
principal of the Convertible Notes in cash. Therefore, upon conversion, the principal value of the Convertible Notes will be paid 
in cash and depending on our stock price, any additional amount over principal amount will be settled in shares of common 
stock.  The  initial  conversion  rate  for  the  Convertible  Notes  will  be  41.9208  shares  of  common  stock  per  $1,000  in  principal 
amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $23.85 per share of our common stock. The 
conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture. 

In accordance with accounting guidance for debt with conversion and other options, we accounted for the debt and equity 
components  of  the  Convertible  Notes  separately.  The  estimated  fair  value  of  the  debt  component  at  the  date  of  issuance 
was $381.8 million, which was computed based on our non-convertible borrowing rate for similar debt of 5.19%, derived from 
independent  valuation  analysis.  The  equity  component  was  allocated  a  value  of  $65.6  million  and  represents  the  difference 
between the $447.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the $381.8 million estimated fair 
value of the debt component at the date of issuance.

 In connection with the Convertible Notes, we paid the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes a fee of $12.7 million 
and incurred additional debt issuance costs totaling $0.3 million, which includes expenses that we paid on behalf of the initial 
purchasers and expenses incurred directly by us. Debt issuance costs, the initial purchasers’ fee and the equity component is 
presented as a debt discount as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $62.8 million, and will be amortized over the remaining 
estimated term of 3.9 using the effective interest  method, utilizing an effective interest rate of 5.10%. The net carrying amount 
of the debt as of  December 31, 2020 is $397.2 million. The fair value of the Convertible Notes, which was estimated using 
trading  levels  obtained  from  third-party  service  provider  (Level  2),  was  $861.7  million  at  December  31,  2020  and 
$461.1 million at December 31, 2019.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  we  recognized  interest  expense  of  $19.9  million  and  $2.3  million 
including contractual coupon interest of $5.8 million and $0.7 million and amortization of the debt discount of $14.1 million 
and $1.6 million, respectively.

As  of  December  31,  2020,  we  were  in  compliance  with  all  covenants  under  the  Indenture  and  there  was  no  material 

adverse change in our business, operations or financial condition.

Royalty-backed Loan

In  January  2016,  through  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary  Halozyme  Royalty  LLC  (“Halozyme  Royalty”),  we  received  a 
$150  million  loan  (the  “Royalty-backed  Loan”)  pursuant  to  a  credit  agreement  (the  “Credit  Agreement”)  with  BioPharma 
Credit Investments IV Sub, LP and Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP (the “Royalty-backed Lenders”). Under the terms 
of the Credit Agreement, Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. transferred to Halozyme Royalty the right to receive royalty payments 
from  the  commercial  sales  of  ENHANZE  products  owed  under  the  Roche  Collaboration  and  Baxalta  Collaboration 
(“Collaboration Agreements”). The royalty payments from the Collaboration Agreements were used to repay the principal and 
interest on the loan (the “Royalty Payments”).  The Royalty-backed Loan bore interest at a per annum rate of 8.75% plus the 
three-month LIBOR rate. The three-month LIBOR rate was subject to a floor of 0.7% and a cap of 1.5%. In June 2020, we paid 
the  full  remaining  balance  and  final  payment  of  $2.93  million  thereby  satisfying  and  discharging  all  obligations  under,  and 
terminating, the Royalty-backed Loan.

Oxford and SVB Loan and Security Agreement

In  June  2016,  we  entered  into  a  Loan  and  Security  Agreement  (the  “Loan  Agreement”)  with  Oxford  Finance  LLC 
(“Oxford”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) (collectively, the “Lenders”), providing a senior secured loan facility of up to an 
aggregate  principal  amount  of  $70.0  million,  comprising  a  $55.0  million  draw  in  June  2016  and  an  additional  $15.0  million 
tranche, which we had the option to draw during the second quarter of 2017 and did not exercise. The initial proceeds were 
partially used to pay the outstanding principal and final payment of $4.25 million owed on a previous loan agreement with the 
Lenders. The remaining proceeds were used for working capital and general business requirements.  The senior secured loan 
facility  carried  a  fixed  interest  rate  of  8.25%.  The  repayment  schedule  provided  for  interest  only  payments  for  the  first  18 
months,  followed  by  consecutive  equal  monthly  payments  of  principal  and  interest  in  arrears  through  the  maturity  date  of 
January  1,  2021.  The  Loan  Agreement  provided  for  a  final  payment  equal  to  5.50%  of  the  initial  $55.0  million  principal 
amount, which was due when the Loan Agreement becomes due or upon the prepayment of the facility. We had the option to 
prepay the outstanding balance of the Loan Agreement in full and exercised this option in November 2019, at which point we 
paid the full remaining balance and final payment of $26.1 million, thereby satisfying and discharging all obligations under, and 
terminating, the Loan Agreement.

Stock  Options.  Options  granted  under  the  Plans  must  have  an  exercise  price  equal  to  at  least  100%  of  the  fair  market 
value of our common stock on the date of grant. The options generally have a maximum contractual term of ten years and vest 
at the rate of one-fourth of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 1/48 of the shares monthly thereafter. 
Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).

The  weighted  average  grant  date  fair  values  of  options  granted  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019  and 
2018 were $20.74 per share, $16.46 per share and $10.33 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised 
during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $49.7 million, $10.6 million and $11.5 million, 
respectively.  Cash  received  from  stock  option  exercises  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019  and  2018  was 
approximately $66.2 million, $16.5 million and $16.3 million, respectively.

The exercise price of stock options granted is equal to the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair 
value  of  each  option  award  is  estimated  on  the  date  of  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes-Merton  option  pricing  model  (“Black-
Scholes  model”).  Expected  volatility  is  based  on  historical  volatility  of  our  common  stock.  The  expected  term  of  options 
granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on 
the  U.S.  Treasury  yield  for  a  period  consistent  with  the  expected  term  of  the  option  in  effect  at  the  time  of  the  grant.  The 
dividend  yield  assumption  is  based  on  the  expectation  of  no  future  dividend  payments.  The  assumptions  used  in  the  Black-
Scholes model were as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards. RSAs are grants that entitle the holder to acquire shares of our common stock at zero cost. The 
shares covered by a RSA cannot be sold, pledged, or otherwise disposed of until the award vests and any unvested shares may 
be reacquired by us for the original purchase price following the awardee’s termination of service. The RSAs will generally vest 
at the rate of one-fourth of the shares on each anniversary of the date of grant. Annual grants of RSAs to the Board of Directors 
typically vest in approximately one year.

1,489,138  shares  of  common  stock,  respectively,  in  connection  with  the  exercises  of  stock  options,  for  net  proceeds  of 
approximately $66.2 million, $16.5 million and $16.3 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and

the RSU holders surrendered 142,905, 140,466 and 139,850 RSUs, respectively, to pay for minimum withholding taxes totaling 
approximately  $5.5  million,  $7.0  million  and  $4.2  million,  respectively.  Stock  options  and  unvested  restricted  units  totaling 
approximately  6.7  million,  13.6  million  and  13.4  million  shares  of  our  common  stock  were  outstanding  as  of  December  31, 
2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

Share Repurchases

In  November  2019,  the  Board  of  Directors  authorized  a  capital  return  program  to  repurchase  up  to  $550.0  million  of 
outstanding  common  stock  over  a  three-year  period.  We  may  utilize  a  variety  of  methods  including  open  market  purchases, 
privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or any combination of such methods. The Board will 
regularly  review  this  capital  return  program  in  connection  with  a  balanced  capital  allocation  strategy.  During  2019,  we 
repurchased approximately 11.1 million shares of common stock for $200.0 million at an average price of $18.03. 

During 2020, we repurchased 6.5 million shares of common stock for $150.0 million at an average price of $23.05. The 
shares were purchased through open market transactions and through an ASR agreement with Bank of America in December 
2020, for which we repurchased $21.7 million of common stock and received 0.5 million shares. We retired the repurchased 
shares and they resumed the status of authorized and unissued shares. 

We had the following activity under the approved share repurchase programs (dollars in thousands, except share and per

Other Commitments 

We  have  existing  supply  agreements  with  contract  manufacturing  organizations  Avid  Bioservices,  Inc.  (“Avid”)  and 
Catalent Indiana LLC (formerly Cook Pharmica LLC) (“Catalent”) to produce supplies of bulk rHuPH20. Under the terms of 
the agreements, we are committed to certain minimum annual purchases of bulk rHuPH20. At December 31, 2020, we had a 
$75.9 million minimum purchase obligation in connection with these agreements.

In June 2011, we entered into a services agreement with Patheon for the technology transfer and manufacture of Hylenex 

recombinant. At December 31, 2020, we had a $1.4 million minimum purchase obligation in connection with this agreement. 

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, we may be involved in disputes, including litigation, relating to claims arising out of operations in the 
normal course of our business. Any of these claims could subject us to costly legal expenses and, while we generally believe 
that we have adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage or our 
policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any 
such awards could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position. Additionally, 
any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business. We currently are not a party to any legal 
proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material 
adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

 A valuation allowance of $199.8 million and $155.1 million has been established to offset the net deferred tax assets as 

of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as realization of such assets is uncertain. 

We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our DTAs until there is sufficient evidence to support the 
reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we 
believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available 
to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation 
allowance would result in the recognition of certain DTAs and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is 
recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the 
level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

 At December 31, 2020, our unrecognized tax benefit and uncertain tax positions were $19.2 million. Of this, $0.3 million 
of  this  amount  would  affect  the  effective  tax  rate  and  $18.9  million  would  affect  the  effective  tax  rate  only  in  the  event  the 
valuation allowance was removed. Of the unrecognized tax benefits, we do not expect any significant changes to occur in the 
next  12  months.  Interest  and/or  penalties  related  to  uncertain  income  tax  positions  are  recognized  by  us  as  a  component  of 
income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we recognized an immaterial amount of interest 
and penalties.

At  December  31,  2020,  we  had  federal  and  California  research  and  development  tax  credit  carryforwards  of 
approximately  $27.9  million  and  $19.1  million,  respectively.  The  federal  research  and  development  tax  credits  will  begin  to 
expire  in  2024  unless  previously  utilized.  The  California  research  and  development  tax  credits  will  carryforward  indefinitely 
until utilized. Additionally, we had Orphan Drug Credit carryforwards of $88.0 million which will begin to expire in 2034. 

Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the annual use of the net operating loss carryforwards and research and 
development tax credits could be limited by any greater than 50% ownership change during any three year testing period. As a 
result of any such ownership change, portions of our net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits 
are subject to annual limitations. We completed an updated Section 382 analysis regarding the limitation of the net operating 
losses and research and development credits as of December 31, 2019. Based upon the analysis, we determined that ownership 
changes occurred in prior years; however, the annual limitations on net operating loss and research and development tax credit 
carryforwards will not have a material impact on the future utilization of such carryforwards.

We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiary as it is our intention to 
utilize those earnings in the foreign operations for an indefinite period of time. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no 
undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years for 2004 and forward 
are subject to examination by the U.S. and California tax authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses 
and research and development credits.

11. Employee Savings Plan

We have an employee savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees are eligible 
to participate, provided they meet the requirements of the plan. We are not required to make matching contributions under the 
plan. However, we voluntarily contributed to the plan approximately $1.1 million, $2.2 million and $1.3 million for the years 
ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
