Leases

LEASES

On November 19, 2021, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for approximately 144,000 square feet of office and research and development laboratory space in San Diego, California. This new facility accommodates increased personnel for its expanding pipeline of current and future drug candidates. The lease payments, which began on April 19, 2023, the rent commencement date, will be approximately $119.0 million over the initial 15-year term. The Company also estimates annual operating expenses to be approximately $3.0 million for the first year of the lease, and these payments will continue throughout the initial 15-year term. The Company expects to pay approximately $32.0 million for leasehold improvements, net of tenant improvement allowances. Pursuant to the lease, within twelve months of the expiration of the initial 15-year term, the Company has the option to extend the lease for up to one additional ten-year term, with certain annual increases in base rent.

Further, the lease agreement grants the Company the right to receive an Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance (“ATIA”) funded by the lessor. The maximum amount of ATIA is $7.2 million, and as of June 30, 2023, the Company has received approximately $0.7 million, which has been recorded as other liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company will repay the ATIA through equal monthly payments, including 7% interest per annum over the base term, starting from the rent commencement date. Interest begins accruing on the date the lessor first disburses the ATIA.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General and Recent Developments

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (referred to herein collectively as the “Company”) are primarily engaged in developing medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, the Company’s therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference (“RNAi”) is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. The Company’s RNAi-based therapeutics may leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing to target and shut down specific disease-causing genes.

The following table presents the Company’s current pipeline:


Therapeutic Area	Name	Stage	Product Rights
Cardiometabolic	ARO-APOC3	Phase 2b and Phase 3	Arrowhead
	ARO-ANG3	Phase 2b	Arrowhead
	Olpasiran	Phase 3	Amgen

The Company operates lab facilities in San Diego, California and Madison, Wisconsin, where its research and development activities, including the development of RNAi therapeutics, take place. The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Pasadena, California.

During the first three quarters of fiscal 2023, the Company continued to develop and advance its pipeline and partnered candidates. Several key recent developments include:

•hosted a Research & Development (R&D) Day on June 1, 2023 to discuss progress of the Company's pipeline of RNAi Therapeutics, at which the following updates were discussed:

◦ARO-RAGE showed continued dose response with single inhaled dose of 184 mg achieving mean knockdown of 90% and max of 95%;

◦adipose delivery platform achieved single dose target gene silencing of greater than 90% with six months of duration in non-human primates;

◦improved hepatic dimer platform achieved equivalent or better knockdown of two target genes with longer duration than monomer mixture in non-human primates;

◦TRiM™ platform now has potential to address multiple cell types including liver, solid tumors, lung, central nervous system, skeletal muscle, and adipose;

◦announced progress towards the Company's "20 in 25" goal to grow its pipeline of RNAi therapeutics that leverage the proprietary Targeted RNAi Molecule (TRiM™) platform to a total of

20 clinical stage or marketed products in the year 2025;

•presented updated data from the Phase 2 SEQUOIA study of investigational RNAi therapy Fazirsiran in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency liver disease which included:

◦Fazirsiran reduced serum Z-AAT concentration in a dose-dependent manner;

◦Fazirsiran consistently reduced hepatic globule burden;

◦Fazirsiran treatment reduced histological signs of hepatic inflammation;

◦50% of the pooled Fazirsiran treated patients showed at least a one-point improvement in METAVIR liver fibrosis versus 38% in the placebo group;

◦Fazirsiran has been well tolerated to date;

◦pulmonary function test results (FEV1 and DLCO) for both Fazirsiran and placebo were stable over time with no apparent dose-dependent effects;

◦updated Phase 2 clinical data were presented at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Congress 2023 in an oral presentation titled, “Fazirsiran reduces liver Z-alpha-1 antitrypsin synthesis, decreases globule burden and improves histological measures of liver disease in adults with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: a randomized placebo-controlled phase 2 study”;

•presented interim data from the ongoing Phase 2 GATEWAY clinical study of ARO-ANG3 which included:

◦mean reduction in LDL-C of 48.1% (200mg) and 44.0% (300mg);

◦ANPTL3 inhibition with ARO-ANG3 also reduced HDL-C, non-HDL-C, and triglycerides, consistent with published human genetic data;

◦safety and tolerability;

•completed enrollment of the Phase 3 PALISADE clinical trial evaluating ARO-APOC3 for treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome;

•announced interim results from ARO-RAGE administration in Part 1 of the ongoing Phase 1/2 study in normal healthy volunteers which included:

◦reductions in soluble RAGE (sRAGE) as measured in serum after two doses on Day 1 and Day 29;

◦duration of pharmacologic effect persisted for at least 6 weeks after the second administration of the 92 mg does with further follow up ongoing;

◦reduction in sRAGE as measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) at Day 31 after a single dose;

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (wholly-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary). Subsidiaries refer to Arrowhead Madison, Inc., Visirna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Visirna”), and Arrowhead Australia Pty Ltd. For subsidiaries in which the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interests retained in such entity by the respective noncontrolling party.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial data of the Company included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been made to present fairly the Company’s

financial position at June 30, 2023 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted from the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. Readers are urged to review the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022 for more complete descriptions and discussions. Operating results and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary sources of financing have been through the sale of its securities, revenue from its licensing and collaboration agreements and the sale of certain future royalties. Research and development activities have required significant capital investment since the Company’s inception and are expected to continue to require significant cash expenditure in the future, particularly as the Company’s pipeline of drug candidates and its headcount have both expanded significantly. Additionally, significant capital investment will be required as the Company’s pipeline matures into later stage clinical trials and as the Company plans to increase its internal manufacturing capabilities.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had $105.3 million in cash and cash equivalents (including $7.3 million in restricted cash), $346.4 million in short-term investments and $42.8 million in long-term investments to fund operations. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments balance increased by $12.2 million which was primarily due to the $250.0 million upfront payment received from Royalty Pharma (Note 11) and $110.0 million in milestone payments from the Company’s collaboration and license agreements, partially offset by cash used to fund its operations.

In total, the Company is eligible to receive up to $3.4 billion in developmental, regulatory and sales milestones, and may receive various royalties on net sales from its licensing and collaboration agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of those agreements. The revenue recognition for these collaboration agreements is discussed further in Note 2.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company employs a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date using the exit price. Accordingly, when market observable data are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are used to reflect those that market participants would be presumed to use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair values and the level of market price observability, as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2 Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are based on the following:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or

• Either directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date.

Level 3 Pricing inputs are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2, or from Level 2 to Level 3. The Company recognizes transfers between levels at either the actual date of the event or a change in circumstances that caused the transfer. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any financial assets or financial liabilities based on Level 3 measurements.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company:

Assumptions Used to Value Stock Options

The following table provides the assumptions used in the calculation of grant-date fair values of these stock options based on the Back-Scholes option pricing model:


	Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022 (5)
Expected dividend yield(1)	—			N/A
Risk-free interest rate(2)	3.69		%	N/A
Expected volatility(3)	86.4		%	N/A
Expected term (in years)(4)	6.25			N/A
Weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted	$	24.80		N/A

(1) The dividend yield is zero as the Company currently does not pay a dividend.

(2) The risk-free interest rate is based on that of the U.S. Treasury yields with equivalent terms in effect at the time of the grant.

(3) Volatility is estimated based on volatility average of the Company’s common stock price.

(4) The expected term represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding, by using historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior.

(5) No options were granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Summary of Share Activity Related to RSUs

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s RSUs:


	Number of RSUs	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share

Glaxosmithkline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited (“GSK”)

On November 22, 2021, GSK and the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “GSK License Agreement”). Under the GSK License Agreement, GSK has received an exclusive license for GSK-4532990 (formerly ARO-HSD). The exclusive license is worldwide with the exception of greater China. The Company completed its Phase 1/2 study of GSK-4532990, and GSK is wholly responsible for all clinical development and commercialization of GSK-4532990 in its territory. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has received an upfront payment of $120.0 million and recognized an additional $30.0 million at the start of a Phase 2 trial. The Company is also eligible for an additional payment of $100.0 million upon achieving a successful Phase 2 trial readout and the first patient dosed in a Phase 3 trial. Furthermore, should the Phase 3 trial read out positively, and the potential new medicine receives regulatory approval in major markets, the deal provides for commercial milestone payments to the Company of up to $190.0 million at first commercial sale, and up to $590.0 million in sales-related milestone payments. The Company is further eligible to receive tiered royalties on net product sales in a range of mid-teens to twenty percent.

At the inception of the GSK License Agreement, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services, including the Company’s responsibility to complete the Phase 1/2 study (the “GSK R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of the GSK R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represented one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. Beyond the GSK R&D Services, which are the responsibility of the Company, GSK will be responsible for managing future clinical development and commercialization in its territory.

The Company determined the initial transaction price totaled $120.0 million, including the upfront payment, which was collected in January 2022. The Company has excluded any future estimated milestones or royalties from this transaction price to date. The Company has allocated the total $120.0 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the GSK-4532990 license and the associated GSK R&D Services. As the Company has completed its performance obligation related to this agreement, the upfront payment of $120.0 million was fully recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2022. Further, GSK dosed the first patient in a Phase 2 trial in March 2023, triggering a $30.0 million milestone payment to the Company which was paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. There were no contract assets and liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2023.

Horizon Therapeutics Ireland DAC (“Horizon”)

On June 18, 2021, Horizon and the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the “Horizon License Agreement”). Under the terms of the Horizon License Agreement, Horizon received a worldwide exclusive license for HZN-457, a clinical-stage medicine being developed by Horizon as a potential treatment for people with uncontrolled gout. The Company conducted all activities through the preclinical stages of development of, and Horizon is now wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization of, HZN-457. The Company received $40.0 million as an upfront payment in July 2021 and an additional $15.0 million upon Horizon’s initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in January 2023, and is eligible to receive up to $645.0 million in additional potential development, regulatory and sales milestones. The Company is also eligible to receive royalties in the low- to mid-teens range on net product sales.

At the inception of the Horizon License Agreement, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services, including the Company’s responsibilities to conduct all activities through the preclinical stages of development of HZN-457 (the “Horizon R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these Horizon R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represented one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. Beyond the Horizon R&D Services, which are the responsibility of the Company, Horizon is responsible for managing future clinical development and commercialization of HZN-457.

The Company determined the initial transaction price totaled $40.0 million, including the upfront payment. The Company has excluded any future estimated milestones or royalties from this transaction price to date. The Company allocated the total $40.0 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the HZN-457 license and the associated Horizon R&D Services. Revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis over the timeframe for

completing the Horizon R&D Services. The Company determined that the straight-line basis was appropriate as its efforts were expended evenly over the course of completing its performance obligation. Further, Horizon enrolled the first subject in December 2022 in a Phase 1 randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of HZN-457, triggering a $15.0 million milestone payment to the Company which was paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. There was $1.5 million in contract assets recorded as accounts receivable and $0 contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023.

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”)

On October 7, 2020, Takeda and the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Co-Funding Agreement (the “Takeda License Agreement”). Under the Takeda License Agreement, Takeda and the Company will co-develop its Fazirsiran program, the Company’s second-generation subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic candidate being developed as a treatment for liver disease associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Within the United States, Fazirsiran, if approved, will be co-commercialized under a 50/50 profit sharing structure. Outside the United States, Takeda will lead the global commercialization strategy and received an exclusive license to commercialize Fazirsiran, while the Company will be eligible to receive tiered royalties of 20% to 25% on net sales. The Company received $300.0 million as an upfront payment in January 2021, recognized an additional $40.0 million upon Takeda’s initiation of a Phase 3 clinical study in March 2023, and is eligible to receive potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones of up to $527.5 million.

At the inception of the Takeda License Agreement, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services including the Company’s responsibilities to complete the initial portion of the SEQUOIA study, to complete the ongoing Phase 2 AROAAT2002 study and to ensure certain manufacturing of Fazirsiran drug product is completed and delivered to Takeda (the “Takeda R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these Takeda R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represent one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. Beyond the Takeda R&D Services, which are the responsibility of the Company, Takeda will be responsible for managing future clinical development and commercialization outside the United States. Within the United States, the Company will also participate in co-development and co-commercialization efforts and will co-fund these efforts with Takeda as part of the 50/50 profit sharing structure within the United States. The Company considers the collaborative activities, including the co-development and co-commercialization, to be a separate unit of account within Topic 808, and as such, these co-funding amounts are recorded as research and development expenses or general and administrative expenses, as appropriate.

The Company has allocated the total $300.0 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the Fazirsiran license and the associated Takeda R&D Services. Revenue is recognized using a proportional performance method (based on actual patient visits completed versus total estimated visits completed for the ongoing SEQUOIA and AROAAT2002 clinical studies). The Company previously expected these clinical trials to extend to September 2025 in order to demonstrate long term safety and efficacy in the open label extension (OLE) part of the studies; however, Takeda now intends to initiate a new OLE study available to patients participating in these Phase 2 studies that will initiate as early as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Based on this new information, patients enrolled in the SEQUOIA and AROAAT2002 studies are expected to complete their Phase 2 study visits between June 2023 and June 2024, shortening the Company’s performance obligation. As a result, effective the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company changed its estimates of the revenue recognition to better reflect this newly estimated performance period. The effect of these changes in estimates resulted in accelerated revenue by $61.4 million, or $0.58 per share (diluted) for each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023. There were $16.9 million of contract liabilities recorded as deferred revenue, of which $16.9 million was classified as current as of June 30, 2023.

In March 2023, Takeda dosed the first patient in the Phase 3 REDWOOD clinical study of Fazirsiran, triggering a $40.0 million milestone payment to the Company which was paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company also recorded $1.4 million as accrued expenses as of June 30, 2023 that was primarily driven by co-development and co-commercialization activities.

Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Janssen”)

On October 3, 2018, Janssen, part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, and the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “Janssen License Agreement”) and the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. The Company also entered into a stock purchase agreement with JJDC, Inc. (“JJDC”), Johnson & Johnson’s venture capital arm (the “JJDC Stock Purchase Agreement”).

Under the Janssen License Agreement, Janssen received a worldwide, exclusive license to the Company’s JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) program, the Company’s third-generation subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic candidate being

developed as a potential therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Beyond the Company’s Phase 1/2 study of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV), which the Company was responsible for completing, Janssen is wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV). Under the terms of the Janssen License Agreement, the Company has received $175.0 million as an upfront payment, $75.0 million in the form of an equity investment by JJDC in the Company’s common stock under the JJDC Stock Purchase Agreement, and milestone and option payments totaling $73.0 million, and the Company may receive up to $0.8 billion in development and sales milestone payments for the Janssen License Agreement. The Company is further eligible to receive tiered royalties on product sales up to mid-teens under the Janssen License Agreement.

In May 2021, Janssen exercised its option right for JNJ-75220795 (ARO-JNJ1) which resulted in a $10.0 million milestone payment to the Company. This $10.0 million milestone payment was recognized entirely as of September 30, 2021. The Company conducted its discovery, optimization and preclinical research and development of JNJ-75220795 (ARO-JNJ1), ARO-JNJ2, and ARO-JNJ3 under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. All costs and labor hours spent by the Company have been entirely funded by Janssen. On April 7, 2023, Janssen voluntarily terminated the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. Upon termination, the Company regained full rights to ARO-PNPLA3, formerly called JNJ-75220795, the only candidate for which Janssen had exercised its option.

At the inception of the Janssen License Agreement, the Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services including the Company’s responsibility to complete the Phase 1/2 study of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) and the Company’s responsibility to ensure certain manufacturing of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) drug product is completed and delivered to Janssen (the “Janssen R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these Janssen R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represent one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation.

The Company determined the transaction price totaled approximately $252.7 million, which includes the upfront payment, the premium paid by JJDC for its equity investment in the Company, two $25.0 million milestone payments related to JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV), and estimated payments for reimbursable Janssen R&D Services to be performed. The Company has allocated the total $252.7 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) license and the associated Janssen R&D Services. The Company recognized this transaction price in its entirety as of September 30, 2021, as its performance obligations were substantially completed. Future milestones and royalties achieved will be recognized in their entirety when earned. There were no contract assets and liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2023.

Amgen Inc. (“Amgen”)

On September 28, 2016, Amgen and the Company entered into two collaboration and license agreements and a common stock purchase agreement. Under the Second Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Olpasiran Agreement”), Amgen received a worldwide, exclusive license to the Company’s novel RNAi Olpasiran program. These RNAi molecules are designed to reduce elevated lipoprotein(a), which is a genetically validated, independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Under the first collaboration and license agreement (the “First Collaboration and License Agreement” or the “ARO-AMG1 Agreement”), Amgen received an option to a worldwide, exclusive license to ARO-AMG1, an RNAi therapy for an undisclosed genetically validated cardiovascular target. Under both agreements, Amgen is wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization.

Under the Olpasiran Agreement and the ARO-AMG1 Agreement, the Company has received $35.0 million in upfront payments and $21.5 million in the form of an equity investment by Amgen in the Company’s common stock. Further, the Company received additional an $55.0 million in milestone payments; $10.0 million upon Amgen’s initiation of Phase 1 study in September 2018, $20.0 million upon its initiation of a Phase 2 clinical study in July 2020, and $25.0 million upon its first subject enrollment in a Phase 3 trial in December 2022. The Company has substantially completed its performance obligations under the Olpasiran Agreement and the ARO-AMG1 Agreement. There were no contract assets and liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2023.

In November 2022, Royalty Pharma and the Company entered into the Royalty Pharma Agreement. In consideration for the payments under the Royalty Pharma Agreement, Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive all royalties otherwise payable by Amgen to the Company under the Olpasiran Agreement. The Company remains eligible to receive up to an additional $535.0 million in remaining development, regulatory and sales milestone payments payable from Amgen and Royalty Pharma. See Note 11.

Joint Venture and License Agreement with Visirna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Visirna”)

On April 25, 2022, Visirna and the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “Visirna License Agreement”), pursuant to which Visirna received an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize four of the Company’s

RNAi-based investigational cardiometabolic medicines in Greater China (including the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Visirna SPA”) entered into simultaneously with the Visirna License Agreement, the Company acquired a majority stake in Visirna as partial consideration for the Visirna License Agreement. Under the Visirna SPA, entities affiliated with Vivo Capital also acquired a minority stake in Visirna in exchange for $60.0 million in upfront capital to support the operations of Visirna. As further consideration under the Visirna License Agreement, the Company is also eligible to receive potential royalties on commercial sales.During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company performed manufacturing and development work pursuant to a Clinical Supply Agreement between the parties contemplated by the Visirna License Agreement. The Company received $0.9 million as consideration for this manufacturing and development work, and there were no contract assets and liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2023.

If the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount is reasonably estimable, the Company will accrue a liability for the estimated loss. There were no contingent liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2023. Commitments On December 20, 2021, the Company completed a purchase of 13 acres of land in the Verona Technology Park in Verona, Wisconsin, which is being developed into an approximately 160,000 square foot drug manufacturing facility and an approximately 140,000 square foot laboratory and office facility which will support the Company’s process development and analytical activities. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred $102.7 million and intends to spend an additional $160.0 million to $180.0 million to complete the build out of the facilities. As part of this acquisition, the Company entered into a development agreement with the City of Verona to construct certain infrastructure improvements within the tax incremental district and will be reimbursed up to $16.0 million by the City of Verona by future tax increment revenue generated from the developed property. The total amount of funding that the City of Verona will pay under the Tax Incremental Financing program is not guaranteed and will depend on future tax revenues generated from the developed property. The Company will also receive up to $2.5 million of refundable Wisconsin state income tax credits from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) as incentives to invest in the local community and create new jobs. Technology License Commitments The Company has licensed from third parties the rights to use certain technologies for its research and development activities, as well as in any products it may develop using these licensed technologies. These agreements and other similar agreements often require the Company to make milestone and royalty payments. Milestone payments, for example, may be required as the research and development process progresses through various stages of development, such as when clinical candidates enter or progress through clinical trials, upon NDA and/or certain sales level milestones. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not reach any milestones.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has three plans that provide for equity-based compensation. Under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), 68,555 and 3,440,076 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock are reserved for grants of stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and directors as of June 30, 2023.

On March 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which authorized 8,000,000 shares (subject to certain adjustments) available for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, performance awards, cash awards and other awards convertible into or otherwise based on shares of the Company’s common stock. The maximum number of shares authorized under the 2021 Plan will be (i) reduced by any shares subject to awards made under the 2013 Plan after January 1, 2021, and (ii) increased by any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan as of January 1, 2021 that, after January 1, 2021, are canceled, expired, forfeited or otherwise not issued under such awards (other than as a result of being tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes in connection with any such awards) or settled in cash. As of June 30, 2023, the total number of shares reserved for issuance was 6,186,644 shares, which included 197,596 shares that were forfeited under the 2013 Plan, and 1,977,114 shares have been granted under the 2021 Plan.

In addition, there were 712,454 shares reserved for options and 746,175 shares reserved for restricted stock units issued as inducement grants to new employees granted outside of the Company’s equity-based compensation plans under Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The following table presents a summary of awards outstanding:

Stock Option Awards

The following table presents a summary of the stock option activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2023:


	Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at September 30, 2022	2,721,384	$	20.73
Granted	32,151	33.03
Cancelled or expired	(43,936)	62.31
Exercised	(343,801)	6.48
Outstanding at June 30, 2023	2,365,798	$	22.20	4.4 years	$	43,813,599
Exercisable at June 30, 2023	2,188,690	$	20.28	4.2 years	$	43,480,339

The aggregate intrinsic values represents the amount by which the market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. The total intrinsic value of the options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and

2022 was $6.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of the options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $10.1 million and $24.9 million, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $6.7 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, the pre-tax compensation expense for all outstanding unvested stock options in the amount of $5.3 million will be recognized in the Company’s results of operations over a weighted average period of 12 months.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The determination of the fair value of each stock option is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

The following table provides the assumptions used in the calculation of grant-date fair values of these stock options based on the Back-Scholes option pricing model:


	Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022 (5)
Expected dividend yield(1)	—			N/A
Risk-free interest rate(2)	3.69		%	N/A
Expected volatility(3)	86.4		%	N/A
Expected term (in years)(4)	6.25			N/A
Weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted	$	24.80		N/A

(1) The dividend yield is zero as the Company currently does not pay a dividend.

(2) The risk-free interest rate is based on that of the U.S. Treasury yields with equivalent terms in effect at the time of the grant.

(3) Volatility is estimated based on volatility average of the Company’s common stock price.

(4) The expected term represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding, by using historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior.

(5) No options were granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”), including market-based, time-based and performance-based awards, have been granted under the Company’s 2013 and 2021 Plans and as inducements grants granted outside of the Company’s equity-based compensation plans. At vesting, each outstanding RSU will be exchanged for one share of the Company’s common stock. RSU awards generally vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements or the satisfaction of both service requirements and achievement of certain performance targets.

The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s RSUs:


	Number of RSUs	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding at September 30, 2022	4,069,431	$	62.96
Granted	1,144,594	34.27
Vested	(798,271)	53.72
Forfeited	(93,688)	54.58
Outstanding at June 30, 2023	4,322,066	$	57.45

The fair value of RSUs was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, with consideration given to the probability of achieving service and/or performance conditions for awards.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $17.8 million and $33.7 million of expense

related to RSUs, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $53.2 million and $83.4 million of expense related to RSUs, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, there was $131.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

The increase in the construction in progress during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was mainly due to the continuing developments of manufacturing, laboratory and office facilities in Verona, Wisconsin as well as a new laboratory and office facility in San Diego, California. In May 2023, the Company completed the development of the San Diego facility, which resulted in the reclassification of construction in progress as leasehold improvements as of June 30, 2023.

Liability Related To The Sale Of Future Royalties [Abstract]
Liability Related to the Sale of Future Royalties	LIABILITY RELATED TO THE SALE OF FUTURE ROYALTIES On November 9, 2022, the Company and Royalty Pharma entered into the Royalty Pharma Agreement, pursuant to which Royalty Pharma agreed to pay up to $410.0 million in cash to the Company in consideration for the Company’s future royalty interest in Olpasiran, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) originally developed by the Company and licensed to Amgen in 2016 under the Olpasiran Agreement. Pursuant to the Royalty Pharma Agreement, Royalty Pharma paid $250.0 million upfront and agreed to pay up to an additional $160.0 million in aggregate one-time milestone payments due if and when the following milestone events occur: (i) $50.0 million on completion of enrollment in the OCEAN Phase 3 clinical trial for Olpasiran, (ii) $50.0 million upon receipt of FDA approval of Olpasiran for an approved indication (reduction in the risk of myocardial infarction, urgent coronary revascularization, or coronary heart disease death in adults with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lp(a)), and (iii) $60.0 million upon Royalty Pharma’s receipt of at least $70.0 million of royalty payments under the Royalty Pharma Agreement in any single calendar year. In consideration for the payment of the foregoing amounts under the Royalty Pharma Agreement, Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive all royalties otherwise payable by Amgen to the Company under the Olpasiran Agreement. The Company remains eligible to receive any milestone payments potentially payable by Amgen under the Olpasiran Agreement. The Company has evaluated the terms of the Royalty Pharma Agreement and concluded in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance that the Company accounted for the transaction as debt and the funding of $250.0 million from Royalty Pharma was recorded as a liability related to the sale of future royalties on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not obligated to repay this upfront funding received under the Royalty Pharma Agreement. This liability is amortized over the expected repayment term using an effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is calculated based on the rate that would enable the debt to be repaid in full over the anticipated life of the arrangement. The interest rate may vary during the term of the agreement depending on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of forecasted net revenues which affects the repayment timing and ultimate amount of repayment. The Company will evaluate the effective interest rate periodically based on its current revenue forecasts utilizing the prospective method. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized non-cash interest expense of $5.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
