NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1— DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Pacira”) is the industry leader in its commitment to non-opioid pain management and providing non-opioid pain management options to as many patients as possible to redefine the role of opioids as rescue therapy only. The Company is also developing innovative interventions to address debilitating conditions involving the sympathetic nervous system, such as cardiac electrical storm, chronic pain and spasticity. The Company’s long-acting, local analgesic, EXPAREL ® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), was commercially launched in the United States, or U.S., in April 2012 and approved in select European countries and the United Kingdom, or U.K., in November 2021. EXPAREL utilizes the Company’s proprietary multivesicular liposome (pMVL) drug delivery technology that encapsulates drugs without altering their molecular structure, and releases them over a desired period of time. In November 2021, the Company acquired Flexion Therapeutics, Inc., or Flexion (the “Flexion Acquisition”), and added ZILRETTA ® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension) to its product portfolio. ZILRETTA is the first and only extended-release, intra-articular (meaning in the joint) injection indicated for the management of osteoarthritis, or OA, knee pain. In April 2019, the Company added iovera° ® to its commercial offering with the acquisition of MyoScience, Inc., or MyoScience (the “MyoScience Acquisition”). The iovera° system is a handheld cryoanalgesia device used to deliver a precise, controlled application of cold temperature to targeted nerves.
Pacira is subject to risks common to companies in similar industries and stages, including, but not limited to, competition from larger companies, reliance on revenue from three products, reliance on a limited number of wholesalers, reliance on a limited number of manufacturing sites, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third-party service providers and sole source suppliers, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and risks related to cybersecurity.
The Company is managed and operated as a single business focused on the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions. The Company is managed by a single management team, and, consistent with its organizational structure, the Chief Executive Officer—who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker—manages and allocates resources at a consolidated level. Accordingly, the Company views its business as one reportable operating segment to evaluate its performance, allocate resources, set operational targets and forecast its future financial results.
NOTE 2— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for interim reporting. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023, and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth herein in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated financial statements as presented reflect certain reclassifications from previously issued financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year.
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 10
Concentration of Major Customers
The Company sells EXPAREL through a drop-ship program under which orders are processed through wholesalers (including AmerisourceBergen Health Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc. and McKesson Drug Company), but shipments of the product are sent directly to individual accounts, such as hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and individual doctors. The Company also sells EXPAREL directly to ambulatory surgery centers and physicians. The Company sells ZILRETTA primarily to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies, who then subsequently resell ZILRETTA to physicians, clinics and certain medical centers or hospitals. The Company also contracts directly with healthcare providers and intermediaries such as Group Purchasing Organizations, or GPOs. The Company sells its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use to a third-party licensee in the U.S. and sells iovera° directly to end users.
The table below includes the percentage of revenues comprised by the Company’s three largest wholesalers in each period presented:

The Company’s net product sales consist of (i) EXPAREL in the U.S., the European Union, or E.U., and the U.K.; (ii) ZILRETTA in the U.S.; (iii) iovera° in the U.S., Canada and the E.U. and (iv) sales of its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use. Royalty revenues are related to a collaborative licensing agreement from the sale of its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use. The Company does not consider revenue from sources other than sales of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA to be material sources of its consolidated revenue. As such, the following disclosure is limited to revenue associated with net product sales of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA.
Net Product Sales
The Company sells EXPAREL through a drop-ship program under which orders are processed through wholesalers based on orders of the product placed by end-users, namely hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and healthcare provider offices. EXPAREL is delivered directly to the end-user without the wholesaler ever taking physical possession of the product. The Company primarily sells ZILRETTA to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies, who then subsequently resell ZILRETTA to physicians, clinics and certain medical centers or hospitals. The Company also contracts directly with healthcare providers and intermediaries such as GPOs. Product revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods. EXPAREL and ZILRETTA revenues are recorded at the time the products are transferred to the customer.
Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of returns allowances, prompt payment discounts, service fees, government rebates, volume rebates and chargebacks. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. These amounts are treated as variable consideration, estimated and recognized as a reduction of the transaction price at the time of the sale, using the most likely amount method, except for returns, which is based on the expected value method. The Company includes these estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for such transaction will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Chargebacks for fees and discounts to qualified government healthcare providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified Department of Veteran Affairs hospitals and 340B entities at prices lower than the list prices charged to other customers. The 340B Drug Discount Program is a U.S. federal government program that requires participating drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible health care organizations and covered entities at reduced prices. Customers charge the Company for the difference between the product payment and the statutory selling price to the qualified entity. Reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and trade receivables, net. Chargeback amounts are generally determined at the time of sale to the qualified government healthcare provider by customers, and the Company generally issues credits for such
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 11
amounts within weeks of the customer’s notification to the Company of the sale. Reserves for chargebacks consist of credits that the Company expects to issue for units that the Company expects will be sold to qualified healthcare providers, and chargebacks that customers have claimed, but for which the Company has not yet issued a credit.
The calculation for some of these items requires management to make estimates based on sales data, historical return data, contracts, statutory requirements and other related information that may become known in the future. The adequacy of these provisions is reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of accounts receivable arise from product sales and represent amounts due from wholesalers, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty distributors, specialty pharmacies and individual physicians. Payment terms generally range from zero to four months from the date of the transaction, and accordingly, there is no significant financing component.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good that is distinct. When identifying individual performance obligations, the Company considers all goods promised in the contract regardless of whether explicitly stated in the customer contract or implied by customary business practices. The Company’s contracts with customers require it to transfer an individual distinct product, which represents a single performance obligation. The Company’s performance obligation with respect to its product sales is satisfied at a point in time, which transfers control upon delivery of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA to its customers. The Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because the customer has legal title to the asset, physical possession of the asset has been transferred, the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has a present right to payment at that time.

NOTE 6— LEASES
The Company leases all of its facilities, including its EXPAREL and iovera° handpiece manufacturing facility at its Science Center Campus in San Diego, California. The Company also has two embedded leases with Thermo Fisher Scientific Pharma Services for the use of their manufacturing facility in Swindon, England for the production of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA. A portion of the associated monthly base fees has been allocated to the lease components based on a relative fair value basis.
Since July 2022 and February 2023, the Company has been recognizing sublease income for laboratory space leased in Woburn, Massachusetts and a portion of office space leased in Burlington, Massachusetts, respectively, from leases that were assumed as part of the Flexion Acquisition.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company partially exited its Burlington, Massachusetts office space lease that had been assumed as part of the Flexion Acquisition through a one-time termination fee of $ 0.8 million, which released its obligation of $ 1.6 million in future cash payments for the respective proportion of square footage exited.

NOTE 7— GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill results from the acquisition of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company’s California operating subsidiary) from SkyePharma Holding, Inc., or Skyepharma, (now a subsidiary of Vectura Group plc) in 2007 (the “Skyepharma Acquisition”), the MyoScience Acquisition in 2019 and the Flexion Acquisition in 2021. The balance at each of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 163.2 million.
The Skyepharma Acquisition occurred in March 2007, prior to the requirements to record contingent consideration at fair value under ASC 805-30. In connection with the Skyepharma Acquisition, the Company agreed to certain milestone payments for DepoBupivacaine products, including EXPAREL. The final Skyepharma milestone payment of $ 32.0 million when annual net sales collected reached $ 500.0 million was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2021 and paid during the first quarter of 2022.

Total $ 524,582 $ 689,471
(1) The TLB Term Loan (as defined below) was refinanced on March 31, 2023 as discussed below.
2028 Term Loan A Facility
On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “TLA Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders, to refinance the indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s TLB Credit Agreement (as defined and discussed below). The term loan issued under the TLA Credit Agreement (the “TLA Term Loan”) was issued at a 0.30 % discount and provides for a single-advance term loan A facility in the principal amount of $ 150.0 million, which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and any subsidiary guarantor’s assets. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at any time, on one or more occasion, add one or more new classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the loans of any existing class by requesting one or more incremental term facilities. The net proceeds of the TLA Term Loan were approximately $ 149.6 million after deducting an original issue discount of $ 0.4 million.

The total debt composition of the TLA Term Loan is as follows (in thousands):
September 30,
2023
Term loan A facility maturing March 2028 $ 119,375
Deferred financing costs ( 1,013 )
Discount on debt ( 397 )
Total debt, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs $ 117,965
The TLA Term Loan matures on March 31, 2028 and the TLA Credit Agreement requires quarterly repayments of principal in the amount of $ 2.8 million which commenced on June 30, 2023, increasing to $ 3.8 million commencing March 31, 2025, with a remaining balloon payment of approximately $ 85.3 million due at maturity. Due to voluntary principal prepayments of $ 27.8 million made during the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company is not required to make further principal payments for the remainder of 2023 and 2024.
The TLA Credit Agreement requires the Company to, among other things, maintain (i) a Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the TLA Credit Agreement), determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no less than 1.50 to 1.00. The TLA Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other provisions. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the TLA Credit Agreement.
The Company may elect to borrow either (i) alternate base rate borrowings or (ii) term benchmark borrowings or daily simple SOFR (as defined in the TLA Credit Agreement) borrowings. Each term loan borrowing that is an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the TLA Credit Agreement), plus (ii) a spread based on the Company’s Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio ranging from 2.00 % to 2.75 %. Each term loan borrowing that is a term benchmark borrowing or daily simple SOFR borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as each is defined in the Credit Agreement), plus (ii) a spread based on the Company’s Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio ranging from 3.00 % to 3.75 %. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made a scheduled principal payment of $ 2.8 million as well as $ 27.8 million of voluntary principal prepayments. As of September 30, 2023, borrowings under the TLA Term Loan consisted entirely of term benchmark borrowings at a rate of 8.47 %.
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 16
2026 Term Loan B Facility
In December 2021, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “TLB Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the initial lender. The term loan issued under the Credit Agreement (the “TLB Term Loan”) was issued at a 3.00 % discount and allowed for a single-advance term loan B facility in the principal amount of $ 375.0 million, which was secured by substantially all of the Company’s and each subsidiary guarantor’s assets. The net proceeds of the TLB Term Loan were approximately $ 363.8 million after deducting an original issue discount of $ 11.2 million.
On March 31, 2023, the Company used the $ 149.6 million of net borrowings under the TLA Credit Agreement and cash on hand to repay the indebtedness outstanding under the TLB Credit Agreement and concurrently terminated the TLB Credit Agreement. The Company incurred a prepayment fee of 2.00 % of the outstanding principal balance of the TLB Term Loan in connection with the termination.
The total debt composition of the TLB Term Loan was as follows (in thousands):
September 30, December 31,
2023 2022
Term loan B facility maturing December 2026 $ — $ 296,875
Deferred financing costs — ( 3,919 )
Discount on debt — ( 8,252 )
Total debt, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs $ — $ 284,704
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made a scheduled principal payment of $ 9.4 million and repaid the outstanding $ 287.5 million principal on the TLB Term Loan, which resulted in a $ 16.9 million loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025
In July 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $ 402.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 0.750 % convertible senior notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, and entered into an indenture with Computershare Corporate Trust, N.A. (formerly Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), or 2025 Indenture, with respect to the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.750 % per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 st and August 1 st of each year. The 2025 Notes mature on August 1, 2025.
The total debt composition of the 2025 Notes is as follows (in thousands):
September 30, December 31,
2023 2022
0.750 % convertible senior notes due August 2025
$ 402,500 $ 402,500
Deferred financing costs ( 4,524 ) ( 6,374 )
Total debt, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs $ 397,976 $ 396,126
The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes were approximately $ 390.0 million, after deducting commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2025 Notes was used by the Company to repurchase $ 185.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 2.375 % convertible senior notes due 2022 in privately-negotiated transactions for a total of $ 211.1 million of cash (including accrued interest).
Holders may convert the 2025 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 3, 2025, only if certain circumstances are met, including if during the previous calendar quarter, the last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was greater than 130 % of the conversion price then applicable for at least 20 out of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the conditions for conversion were not met.
On or after February 3, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, holders may convert their 2025 Notes at any time.
Upon conversion, holders will receive the principal amount of their 2025 Notes and any excess conversion value, calculated based on the per share volume-weighted average price for each of the 40 consecutive trading days during the observation period (as more fully described in the 2025 Indenture). For both the principal and excess conversion value, holders may receive cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option. The initial conversion rate for the 2025 Notes is 13.9324 shares of common stock per $1,000
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 17
principal amount, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $ 71.78 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represents a premium of approximately 32.5 % to the closing sale price of $ 54.17 per share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 7, 2020, the date that the Company priced the private offering of the 2025 Notes.
As of September 30, 2023, the 2025 Notes had a market price o f $909 pe r $1,000 principal amount. In the event of conversion, holders would forgo all future interest payments, any unpaid accrued interest and the possibility of further stock price appreciation. Upon the receipt of conversion requests, the settlement of the 2025 Notes will be paid pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Indenture. In the event that all of the 2025 Notes are converted, the Company would be required to repay the $ 402.5 million in principal value and any conversion premium in any combination of cash and shares of its common stock (at the Company’s option).
Beginning on August 1, 2023 (but, in the case of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding 2025 Notes, no later than the 40 th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date), the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2025 Notes if the last reported sale price (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price will equal the sum of (i) 100 % of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes being redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling the 2025 Notes for redemption will constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) and will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of such notes if it is converted in connection with the redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes.
While the 2025 Notes are currently classified on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2023 as long-term debt, the future convertibility and resulting balance sheet classification of this liability is monitored at each quarterly reporting date and is analyzed dependent upon market prices of the Company’s common stock during the prescribed measurement periods. In the event that the holders of the 2025 Notes have the election to convert the 2025 Notes at any time during the prescribed measurement period, the 2025 Notes would then be considered a current obligation and classified as such.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024 Assumed from the Flexion Acquisition
Prior to the Flexion Acquisition, on May 2, 2017, Flexion issued an aggregate of $ 201.3 million principal amount of 3.375 % convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Flexion 2024 Notes”), pursuant to the indenture, dated as of May 2, 2017 (the “Original Flexion Indenture”), between Flexion and Computershare Corporate Trust, N.A. (formerly Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.), as trustee (the “Flexion Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 19, 2021, between Flexion and the Flexion Trustee (the “First Supplemental Flexion Indenture” and, together with the Original Flexion Indenture, the “Flexion Indenture”). The Flexion 2024 Notes mature on May 1, 2024, are unsecured and accrue interest at a rate of 3.375 % per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 st and November 1 st of each year. Upon the Flexion Acquisition, the principal was assumed and recorded at fair value by the Company.
As a result of the Flexion Acquisition, and in connection with a Fundamental Change Company Notice and Offer to Purchase (the “Notice”) to the holders of the Flexion 2024 Notes in accordance with the Flexion Indenture, holders of the Flexion 2024 Notes became entitled to certain Flexion Acquisition-related conversion and repurchase rights. On December 6, 2021, as a result of the Flexion Acquisition and in accordance with the Flexion Indenture, the Company offered to repurchase for cash all of the outstanding Flexion 2024 Notes, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, January 7, 2022, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Any holder that did not exercise its repurchase right in accordance with the terms of the Notice retained the conversion rights associated with such holder’s Flexion 2024 Notes under the Flexion Indenture as well as the right to receive interest payments on the Flexion 2024 Notes.
On January 7, 2022, following the expiration of the offer to purchase, the Company accepted the $ 192.6 million aggregate principal amount of Flexion 2024 Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn). No Flexion 2024 Notes were converted in connection with the Notice. At September 30, 2023, the remaining principal outstanding is $ 8.6 million.

NOTE 9— FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established a three-level hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of fair value measurements are:
• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
• Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the Company’s convertible senior notes are calculated utilizing market quotations from an over-the-counter trading market for these notes (Level 2). The fair value of the Company’s acquisition-related contingent consideration is reported at fair value on a recurring basis (Level 3). The carrying amounts of equity investments and convertible notes receivable without readily determinable fair values have not been adjusted for either an impairment or upward or downward adjustments based on observable transactions.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration
The Company has recognized contingent consideration related to the Flexion Acquisition and the MyoScience Acquisition in the amount of $ 24.3 million and $ 28.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For more information, see Note 14, Contingent Consideration Charges (Gains), Restructuring Charges and Other .
The Company’s contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values and are revalued each reporting period if and until the related contingencies are resolved. The Company has measured the fair value of its contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach that is based on unobservable inputs and a Monte Carlo simulation. These inputs include, as applicable, estimated probabilities and the timing of achieving specified commercial and regulatory milestones, estimated forecasts of revenue and costs and the discount rates used to calculate the present value of estimated future payments. Significant changes may increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the related commercial and regulatory events, shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such events, or increase or decrease estimated forecasts.
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 20
In November 2021, the Company completed the Flexion Acquisition, which provided for contingent consideration related to contingent value rights that were issued to Flexion shareholders and certain equity award holders which could aggregate up to a total of $ 372.3 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met. The aggregate amount was initially $ 425.5 million prior to the Company’s September 2022 decision to formally discontinue further development of Flexion’s product candidate, PCRX-301. The Company’s obligation to make milestone payments is limited to those milestones achieved through December 31, 2030, and are to be paid within 60 days of the end of the fiscal quarter of achievement. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded charges of $ 2.8 million primarily due to market volatility which affects the liability’s present value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded gains of $ 3.8 million due to adjustments to long-term forecasts which reduced the probability of meeting the sales-based contingent consideration milestones by December 31, 2030, the expiration date for achieving the milestones. The gains recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were partially offset by a decrease in the assumed discount rate that is utilized in calculating the liability’s present value, based on a significant improvement in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate resulting from the TLA Credit Agreement entered into in March 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded gains of $ 0.5 million and $ 13.8 million, respectively, primarily due to adjustments to near-term forecasts for the earnout period of the contingent consideration. These adjustments were recorded as contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2023, the weighted average discount rate was 10.6 % and the probability of payment for the achievement of the remaining regulatory milestone by the expiration date was 12.5 %. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a contingent consideration liability related to the Flexion Acquisition was recognized in the amount of $ 24.3 million and $ 28.1 million, respectively.
In April 2019, the Company completed the MyoScience Acquisition pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which provided for contingent milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $ 100.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. The Company’s obligation to make milestone payments is limited to those milestones achieved through December 31, 2023, and are to be paid within 60 days of the end of the fiscal quarter of achievement. As of September 30, 2023, the maximum potential remaining milestone payments to be paid are $ 43.0 million. At September 30, 2023, the probability of success for the regulatory milestone that has not yet been met was assessed as zero . As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a contingent consideration liability related to the MyoScience Acquisition has been assessed as zero . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 , the Company recognized contingent consideration gains of $ 0.5 million and $ 9.6 million, respectively, due to the reduced probability of meeting the contingent consideration milestones by December 31, 2023, the expiration date for achieving the milestones.

Available-for-Sale Investments
Short-term investments consist of asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables, investment grade commercial paper and corporate, federal agency and government bonds with maturities greater than three months, but less than one year. Noncurrent investments consist of federal agency bonds and government bonds with maturities greater than one year but less than three years. Net unrealized gains and losses (excluding credit losses, if any) from the Company’s short-term investments are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of the
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 21
Company’s short-term and noncurrent investments are classified as available-for-sale investments and are determined to be Level 2 instruments, which are measured at fair value using standard industry models with observable inputs. The fair value of the commercial paper is measured based on a standard industry model that uses the three-month U.S. Treasury bill rate as an observable input. The fair value of the asset-backed securities and corporate bonds is principally measured or corroborated by trade data for identical issues in which related trading activity is not sufficiently frequent to be considered a Level 1 input or that of comparable securities. At the time of purchase, all available-for-sale investments had an “A” or better rating by Standard & Poor’s.
The following summarizes the Company’s short-term and noncurrent available-for-sale investments at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

At September 30, 2023, there were no investments available for sale that were materially less than their amortized cost.
The Company elects to recognize its interest receivable separate from its available-for-sale investments. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interest receivable from its available-for-sale investments recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $ 0.4 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term available-for-sale investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. Such amounts may exceed federally-insured limits.
As of September 30, 2023, three wholesalers each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at 37 %, 18 % and 15 %. At December 31, 2022, three wholesalers each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at 34 %, 19 % and 18 %. For additional information regarding the Company’s wholesalers, see Note 2 , Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . EXPAREL and ZILRETTA revenues are primarily derived from major wholesalers and specialty distributors that generally have significant cash resources. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers as warranted and generally does not require collateral. Allowances for credit losses on the Company’s accounts receivable are maintained based on historical payment patterns, current and estimated future economic conditions, aging of accounts receivable and its write-off history. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did no t deem any allowances for credit losses on its accounts receivable necessary.

NOTE 12— NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Potential common shares include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of RSUs and the purchase of shares from the ESPP (using the treasury stock method), if applicable. Potential common shares associated with convertible notes are treated under the if-converted method, adjustments are made to the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation as if the Company had converted the convertible debt on the first day of each period presented. Adjustments to the numerator are made to add back the interest expense associated with the convertible debt on a post-tax basis. Adjustments to the denominator reflect the number of shares assumed to be convertible at the beginning of the period.
Potential common shares are excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per common share computation to the extent they would be antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three and nine mon ths ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 27
CryoTech sought general, special and compensatory damages against the other defendants related to breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the purported achievement of milestone payments under the MyoScience Merger Agreement, and breach of the MyoScience Merger Agreement and certain other agreements with the defendants. In October 2020, Fortis filed an answer and counterclaim against the Company and Pacira CryoTech seeking to recover certain milestone payments under the MyoScience Merger Agreement. The total remaining value of these milestones is $ 30.0 million, plus attorneys’ fees.
A trial was conducted in September 2023, and a decision is expected in the second half of 2024. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this action at this time.
eVenus Pharmaceutical Laboratories Litigations
In October 2021, the Company received a Notice Letter advising that eVenus Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Inc., or eVenus, of Princeton, New Jersey, submitted to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application, or ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification seeking authorization for the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of EXPAREL (266 mg/20 mL) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 11,033,495 (the ’495 patent).
In November 2021, the Company filed a patent infringement suit against eVenus and its parent company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (21-cv-19829) asserting infringement of the ’495 patent. This triggered an automatic 30-month stay of final approval of the eVenus ANDA. On January 6, 2022, eVenus filed an Answer with counterclaims to the Complaint, alleging the ’495 patent is invalid and/or not infringed through the manufacture, sale, or offer for sale of the product described in product described in eVenus’s ANDA submission.
In December 2021, the Company received a second Notice Letter advising that eVenus submitted to the FDA an amendment to its ANDA with a Paragraph IV Certification seeking authorization for the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of EXPAREL (133 mg/10 mL) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of the ’495 patent. In the Notice Letter, eVenus also advised that it submitted a Paragraph IV Certification to the FDA seeking authorization for the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of EXPAREL (266 mg/20 mL and 133 mg/10 mL) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 11,179,336 (the ’336 patent). eVenus further alleges in the Notice Letter that both the ’495 patent and the ’336 patent are invalid and/or not infringed.
In February 2022, the Company filed a second patent infringement suit against eVenus and its parent company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (22-cv-00718) asserting that the 133 mg/10 mL ANDA product will infringe the ’495 and ’336 patents and that the 266 mg/20 mL ANDA product will infringe the ’336 patent. This filing triggered a second automatic 30-month stay of final approval for the 133 mg/10 mL ANDA product. The first and second patent infringement suits were consolidated.
In February 2023, eVenus filed its first amended answer to the first amended complaint, alleging patent invalidity, non-infringement and inequitable conduct. The Company has denied the allegations in eVenus’s first amended answer. The Company has subsequently voluntarily dismissed its claims with respect to the ’336 Patent. A trial on the remaining claims is currently scheduled for February 2024.
In April 2023, the Company filed a third patent infringement suit against eVenus, its parent company, and Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (23-cv-2367) asserting that the 133 mg/10 mL and 266 mg/20 mL ANDA products will infringe U.S. Patent No. 11,426,348 (the ’348 patent). In July 2023, eVenus filed its answer with claims for declaratory judgment, alleging patent invalidity, non-infringement and inequitable conduct with respect to the ’348 patent as well as the Company’s other patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 11,278,494; 11,304,904; 11,311,486; 11,357,727 and 11,452,691.The parties have subsequently dismissed all patents other than the ’348 patent from this litigation.
The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation at this time.
Research Development Foundation
Pursuant to an agreement with the Research Development Foundation, or RDF, the Company was required to pay RDF a low single-digit royalty on the collection of revenues from certain products, for as long as certain patents assigned to the Company under the agreement remain valid. RDF has the right to terminate the agreement for an uncured material breach by the Company, in connection with its bankruptcy or insolvency or if it directly or indirectly opposes or disputes the validity of the assigned patent rights. The Company’s ’495 patent was issued on June 15, 2021. Thereafter, RDF asserted that the issuance of that patent extends the Company’s royalty obligations under the agreement until 2041. The Company believes that the royalty period under the agreement ended on December 24, 2021 with the expiration of its U.S. Patent No. 9,585,838. Because of the disagreement over the interpretation of the agreement, in December 2021, the Company filed a declaratory judgment
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 28
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (21-cv-02241). The lawsuit seeks a declaration from the court that the Company owes no royalties to RDF with respect to its EXPAREL product after December 24, 2021.
On August 8, 2023, the United States District Court, District of Nevada, granted the Company’s motion for partial summary judgment in respect to the Company’s claim for a declaration that it no longer owes royalties for EXPAREL made under the 45-liter manufacturing process as of December 24, 2021. As a result, the Company expects to receive $ 14.5 million from RDF, representing the royalties that the Company paid to RDF under protest after December 24, 2021 for EXPAREL made from the 45-liter manufacturing process. Once it becomes probable that the settlement amount will be received, the Company will record a settlement gain within other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the pendency of the remaining lawsuit, the Company will continue to pay royalties associated with the 200-liter manufacturing process to RDF under protest. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this action at this time.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Pediatric Trial Commitments
The FDA, as a condition of EXPAREL approval, has required the Company to study EXPAREL for infiltration and as a brachial plexus block in the pediatric setting. The Company was granted deferrals for the required pediatric trials until after the indications were approved in adults. Similarly, in Europe, the Company agreed with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, on a Pediatric Investigation Plan as a prerequisite for submitting a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the E.U. Despite the U.K.’s withdrawal from the E.U., the agreed pediatric plan is applicable in the U.K.
In December 2019, the Company announced positive results for its extended pharmacokinetic and safety study (“PLAY”) for local analgesia in children aged six to 17 undergoing cardiovascular or spine surgeries. Those positive results were the basis for the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, in the U.S. to include use in patients six years of age and older for single-dose infiltration to produce postsurgical local analgesia. In March 2021, the Company announced that the FDA approved the sNDA in the U.S. In the E.U. and U.K., the Company also submitted the results of the PLAY study as Type II variations in the E.U. and U.K. to include the use of EXPAREL in children aged six years or older as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain for small- to medium-sized wounds. The EMA and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, in the U.K. both approved the variations in their respective regions in November 2022. The Company received notification from the FDA in October 2023 that its pediatric studies requirement had been waived for the indication of brachial plexus interscalene nerve block to produce postsurgical regional analgesia in pediatric patients. The Company is still working with the FDA, EMA and MHRA to finalize the regulatory pathways for its remaining pediatric commitments.
Contingent Milestone Payments
Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments , for information on potential contingent milestone payments related to the Flexion Acquisition and MyoScience Acquisition.
PCRX-201
PCRX-201, a novel, intra-articular gene therapy product candidate that produces the anti-inflammatory protein interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) treating OA pain in the knee, was added to the Company’s portfolio as part of the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021. Prior to the Flexion Acquisition, in February 2017, Flexion entered into an agreement with GQ Bio Therapeutics GmbH (formerly named GeneQuine Biotherapeutics GmbH) to acquire the global rights to PCRX-201, a gene therapy product candidate. As part of the agreement, up to an aggregate of $ 56.0 million of payments could become due upon the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, including up to $ 4.5 million through initiation of a Phase 2 proof of concept clinical trial and, following successful proof of concept, up to an additional $ 51.5 million in development and global regulatory approval milestone payments.

Overview
Pacira is the industry leader in our commitment to non-opioid pain management and providing non-opioid pain management options to as many patients as possible to redefine the role of opioids as rescue therapy only. We are also developing innovative interventions to address debilitating conditions involving the sympathetic nervous system, such as cardiac electrical storm, chronic pain and spasticity. Our long-acting, local analgesic EXPAREL ® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) utilizes our unique pMVL drug delivery technology that encapsulates drugs without altering their molecular structure and releases them over a desired period of time. In the U.S., EXPAREL is the only opioid-free, long-acting local and regional analgesic approved for infiltration, field blocks and interscalene brachial plexus nerve block to produce local or regional postsurgical analgesia. EXPAREL is also approved for infiltration in pediatric patients aged six years and older in the U.S. In Europe, EXPAREL is approved as a brachial plexus block or femoral nerve block for treatment of post-operative pain in adults, and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in adults and children aged six years and older. Since its initial approval in 2011, more than 13 million patients have been treated with EXPAREL. We drop-ship EXPAREL directly to end-users based on orders placed to wholesalers or directly to us, and there is no product held by wholesalers. With the acquisition of Flexion Therapeutics, Inc., or Flexion, in November 2021 (the “Flexion Acquisition”), we acquired ZILRETTA ® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension), the first and only extended-release, intra-articular therapy that can provide major relief for osteoarthritis, or OA, knee pain for three months and has the potential to become an alternative to hyaluronic acid, platelet rich plasma injections or other early intervention treatments. With the acquisition of MyoScience, Inc., or MyoScience, in April 2019 (the “MyoScience Acquisition” ) , we acquired iovera° ® , a handheld cryoanalgesia device used to deliver a precise, controlled application of cold temperature to targeted nerves, which we sell directly to end users. EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and the iovera° system are highly complementary products as long-acting, non-opioid therapies that alleviate pain.
We expect to continue to pursue the expanded use of EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° in additional procedures; progress our earlier-stage product candidate pipeline; advance regulatory activities for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA, iovera° and our other product candidates; invest in sales and marketing resources for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°; expand and enhance our manufacturing capacity for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°; invest in products, businesses and technologies; and support legal matters.
Global Economic Conditions
Direct and indirect effects of global economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such impacts may include, but are not limited to, the effect of prolonged periods of inflation on our customers and suppliers and longer lead-times or the inability to secure a sufficient supply of materials. Additional negative impacts may also arise that we are unable to foresee. The nature and extent of such impacts are subject to material change, and will depend on future developments which are dynamic, highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Recent Highlights

• In October 2023, we announced the appointments of Marcelo Bigal, MD, PhD, Abraham Ceesay, Michael Yang and Alethia Young to our Board of Directors. Each of the new directors adds diversity of experience and background to the Pacira board of directors, while also enhancing racial and gender diversity. Following these director appointments, Pacira now has 12 experienced directors, all with relevant industry experience.
• In October 2023, we announced a grant of $2.5 million to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, or ASA, Charitable Foundation, to advance the medical specialty of anesthesiology and pain medicine; facilitate best-in-class clinician education and improve patient care. We also joined ASA’s Industry Supporter Program to support the Society’s more than 56,000 physician anesthesiologist members to improve patient care and reduce reliance on opioids for the treatment of postsurgical or chronic pain. As an Industry Supporter, Pacira is helping to establish a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with the anesthesiology community, strengthen collaboration between physician anesthesiologists and industry, and add to the value the Society provides to patients and the public, while providing invaluable year-round support of ASA programs and priorities related to non-opioid alternatives and postsurgical care.

EXPAREL

In the U.S., EXPAREL is currently indicated for single-dose infiltration in patients six years of age and older to produce postsurgical local analgesia and in adults as an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block to produce postsurgical regional analgesia. Safety and efficacy have not been established in other nerve blocks. In Europe, EXPAREL is approved as a brachial plexus block or femoral nerve block for treatment of post-operative pain in adults and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in adults, and in children aged 6 years or older as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds.

EXPAREL Label and Global Expansion

• Lower extremity nerve block. The FDA is currently reviewing our sNDA seeking expansion of the EXPAREL label to include lower extremity nerve block procedures with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, action date of November 13, 2023. Our application is based on positive results from two Phase 3 registration studies. The first study, which evaluated EXPAREL admixed with bupivacaine HCl as a femoral nerve block in the adductor canal in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, or TKA, achieved the primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in cumulative pain scores from 0 to 96 hours compared with bupivacaine HCl (p<0.01). EXPAREL admixed with bupivacaine HCl also achieved a statistically significant reduction in postsurgical opioid consumption through 96 hours (p<0.01) compared with bupivacaine HCl, a key secondary endpoint. The second study, which evaluated EXPAREL as a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa in patients undergoing bunionectomy, achieved the primary endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in cumulative pain scores from 0 to 96 hours compared with bupivacaine HCl (p<0.00001). EXPAREL achieved a statistically significant reduction in postsurgical opioid consumption (p<0.00001) and a statistically significant percentage of opioid-free subjects (p<0.001) through 96 hours compared with bupivacaine HCl, which were key secondary endpoints. EXPAREL was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with bupivacaine HCl.

• Pediatrics. We expect to initiate a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study after which we would initiate a registration study to support expansion of the EXPAREL single-dose infiltration label to include patients under six years of age. If successful, we expect this study, followed by a larger Phase 3 study, will support expansion of the EXPAREL labels in the U.S. and E.U. We are also discussing with the FDA, EMA and Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) our regulatory strategy for EXPAREL administered as a nerve block in the pediatric setting. The Company received notification from the FDA in October 2023 that its pediatric studies requirement had been waived for the indication of brachial plexus interscalene nerve block to produce postsurgical regional analgesia in pediatric patients.

• Stellate ganglion block. Planning is underway for a multicenter Phase 3 registration study of EXPAREL as a stellate ganglion block for preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiothoracic surgery. We are working with a steering committee of Key Opinion Leaders in regional anesthesia and stellate ganglion blocks to help finalize study design. We are also working to align with the FDA on our plan to expand the EXPAREL label to include stellate ganglion block in the event that the results of the Phase 3 study are sufficiently positive. We believe a stellate ganglion block utilizing EXPAREL will be critical in an unmet need with post-operative ventricular and atrial dysrhythmias.

• Global expansion. In Europe, EXPAREL is approved as a brachial plexus block or femoral nerve block for treatment of post-operative pain in adults and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in adults, and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in children aged six years or older. We launched EXPAREL in the U.K. and targeted E.U. countries in 2021. In Latin America, we have a distribution agreement with Eurofarma Laboratories S.A., or Eurofarma, for the development and commercialization of EXPAREL. Eurofarma has the exclusive right to market and distribute EXPAREL in 19 countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. In addition, Eurofarma will be responsible for regulatory filings for EXPAREL in these countries. We will receive royalties and are also eligible to receive regulatory- and commercial-based milestone payments that are triggered by the achievement of certain events.

ZILRETTA

ZILRETTA is the first and only extended-release, intra-articular therapy for OA knee pain. ZILRETTA employs a proprietary microsphere technology combining triamcinolone acetonide, or TA, a commonly administered, immediate-release corticosteroid, with a poly lactic-co-glycolic acid, or PLGA, matrix to provide extended pain relief. PLGA is a proven extended-release delivery vehicle that is metabolized to carbon dioxide and water as it releases drug in the intra-articular space
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 32
and is used in other approved drug products and surgical devices. The ZILRETTA microspheres slowly and continuously release triamcinolone acetonide into the knee to provide significant pain relief for 12 weeks, with some people experiencing pain relief through 16 weeks. ZILRETTA was approved by the FDA in October 2017 and launched in the U.S. shortly thereafter.

We believe ZILRETTA’s extended-release profile may also provide effective treatment for OA pain of the shoulder, and we intend to initiate a Phase 3 trial investigating ZILRETTA in shoulder OA in the first half of 2024. In addition, we are evaluating a study in knee OA patients comparing ZILRETTA to immediate release TA in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

ZILRETTA Clinical Benefits

ZILRETTA combines a commonly administered steroid, TA, with PLGA, delivering a 32 mg dose of TA to provide extended therapeutic concentrations in the joint and persistent analgesic effect.

Based on the strength of its pivotal and other clinical trials, we believe that ZILRETTA represents an important treatment option for the millions of patients in the U.S. in need of safe and effective extended relief from OA knee pain. The pivotal Phase 3 trial showed that ZILRETTA significantly reduced OA knee pain for 12 weeks, with some people experiencing pain relief through 16 weeks. Both the magnitude and duration of pain relief provided by ZILRETTA in clinical trials were clinically meaningful with the magnitude of pain relief among the largest seen to date in OA clinical trials. The overall frequency of treatment-related adverse events in these trials was similar to those observed with placebo, and no drug-related serious adverse events were reported. We believe that ZILRETTA holds the potential to become the corticosteroid of choice given its safety and efficacy profile, and the fact that it is the first and only extended-release corticosteroid on the market. In September 2021, the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, or AAOS, updated its evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, finding ZILRETTA can improve patient outcomes over traditional immediate-release corticosteroids.

Planning is underway for a multicenter Phase 3 registration study of ZILRETTA for the treatment of glenohumeral OA. We received agreement from the FDA to move forward with that study, and we plan to expand the ZILRETTA label to include OA of the shoulder in the event that the results of the Phase 3 study are sufficiently positive.

iovera°
The iovera° system is a non-opioid handheld cryoanalgesia device used to produce precise, controlled doses of cold temperature to targeted nerves. It is FDA 510(k) cleared in the U.S., has a CE mark in the E.U. and is cleared for marketing in Canada for the blocking of pain. We believe the iovera° system is highly complementary to EXPAREL and ZILRETTA as a non-opioid therapy that alleviates pain using a non-pharmacological nerve block to disrupt pain signals being transmitted to the brain from the site of injury or surgery. It is also indicated for the relief of pain and symptoms associated with arthritis of the knee for up to 90 days.

iovera° Clinical Benefits

There is a growing body of clinical data demonstrating success with iovera° treatment for OA of the knee. Surgical intervention is typically a last resort for patients suffering from OA of the knee. In one study, the majority of the patients suffering from OA of the knee experienced pain relief up to 150 days after being treated with iovera°.

Preliminary findings demonstrated reductions in opioids, including:

• The daily morphine equivalent consumption in the per protocol group analysis was significantly lower at 72 hours (p<0.05), 6 weeks (p<0.05) and 12 weeks (p<0.05).
• Patients who were administered iovera° were far less likely to take opioids six weeks after surgery. The number of patients taking opioids six weeks after TKA in the control group was three times the number of patients taking opioids in the cryoanalgesia group (14% vs. 44%, p<0.01).
• Patients in the iovera° group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain scores from their baseline pain scores at 72 hours (p<0.05) and at 12 weeks (p<0.05).

We believe these data validate iovera° as a clinically meaningful non-opioid alternative for patients undergoing TKA, and that iovera° offers the opportunity to provide patients with non-opioid pain control well in advance of any necessary surgical intervention through a number of key product attributes:
• iovera° is safe and effective with immediate pain relief that can last for months as the nerve regenerates over time;
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 33
• iovera° is repeatable;
• The iovera° technology does not risk damage to the surrounding tissue;
• iovera° is a convenient handheld device with a single-use procedure-specific Smart Tip; and
• iovera° can be delivered precisely using ultrasound guidance or an anatomical landmark.

In September 2021, the AAOS updated its evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, reporting that denervation therapy—including cryoneurolysis—may reduce knee pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic OA of the knee.

We are also encouraged by usage of iovera° in other areas. Key Opinion Leaders in orthopedics, spine and anesthesia are interested in replacing heat-based radiofrequency ablation with iovera° cold therapy. There is interest across a wide range of treatment opportunities such as low back pain, spine, spasticity and rib fracture. We intend to use investigator-initiated studies and grants to develop data across these areas.

iovera° Global Expansion

In July 2021, we entered into a licensing agreement with Verve Medical Products, Inc. for the distribution of iovera° in Canada. We began selling iovera° in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, we began selling iovera° in the E.U. through a contracted sales force in the first quarter of 2022.

The Osteoarthritis Market

OA is the most common form of arthritis. It is also called degenerative joint disease and occurs most frequently in the hands, hips and knees. With OA, the cartilage within a joint begins to break down and the underlying bone begins to change. These changes usually develop slowly and worsen over time. OA can cause pain, stiffness and swelling. In some cases it also causes reduced function and disability—some people are no longer able to do daily tasks or work. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, OA affects over 32.5 million adults in the U.S.

The lifetime risk of developing symptomatic knee OA is 45 percent according to the Arthritis Foundation. The prevalence of symptomatic knee OA increases with each decade of life, with the annual incidence of knee OA being highest between age 55 and 64 years old. There are 14 million individuals in the U.S. who have symptomatic knee OA, and nearly two million are under the age of 45. Surgical intervention is typically a last resort for patients suffering from OA of the knee.

With the addition of ZILRETTA to our product offering, we can now offer clinicians the flexibility to individualize OA knee pain treatment with either ZILRETTA or a drug-free nerve block with iovera° based on patient factors and preference, physician training, site of care and reimbursement considerations.

Clinical Development Programs

PCRX-201

PCRX-201 is a novel, IA gene therapy product candidate that produces the anti-inflammatory protein, IL-1Ra, for treating OA pain in the knee. Based upon compelling initial Phase 1 efficacy and safety data for PCRX-201, we are preparing to initiate a second Phase 1 study in OA of the knee and intend to request a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy, or RMAT, designation. PCRX-201 was added to our portfolio as part of the Flexion Acquisition.

pMVL-Based Clinical Programs

Given the proven safety, flexibility and customizability of our pMVL drug delivery technology platform for acute, sub-acute and chronic pain applications, we have several pMVL-based products in clinical development. Following data readouts from preclinical and feasibility studies for these candidates, we have prioritized three programs for clinical development: (i) PCRX-401, a dexamethasone-pMVL for low back pain; (ii) PCRX-501, a high potency bupivacaine-pMVL for longer-lasting pain relief (20.0 mg/mL) and (iii) EXPAREL for intrathecal analgesia (13.3 mg/mL). We initiated a second Phase 1 study of EXPAREL for intrathecal analgesia in June 2023.

External Innovation

In parallel to our internal clinical programs, our business development team is pursuing innovative acquisition targets that are complementary to EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° and are of great interest to the surgical and anesthesia audiences we are already calling on today. We are using a combination of strategic investments, in-licensing and acquisition transactions to buildout a pipeline of innovation to improve patients’ journeys along the neural pain pathway. The strategic investments we have made to support promising early stage platforms are summarized below:

Pacira Training Facilities

We maintain and operate two training facilities—one in Tampa, Florida and one in Houston, Texas. These sites were constructed with a singular goal in mind: to advance education on best practice techniques to effectively manage acute pain while reducing or eliminating the need for opioids. These facilities provide clinicians with flexible, state-of-the-art environments for interactive, hands-on instruction on the latest and most innovative local, regional and field block approaches for managing pain, improving patient care and enabling patient migration to the 23-hour stay environment.

Tampa, Florida

In October 2020, we opened the Pacira Innovation and Training, or PIT, Center of Tampa. We designed this facility to help advance clinician understanding of the latest local, regional and field block approaches for managing pain. The PIT of Tampa provides an unparalleled training environment for healthcare providers working to reduce or eliminate patient exposure to opioids. The PIT of Tampa supports a full range of educational events to advance clinician understanding of the latest local, regional, and field block approaches for managing pain and reducing or eliminating exposure to opioids. Our principal executive offices and corporate headquarters are also located at the PIT of Tampa.

The PIT of Tampa consists of approximately 13,000 square-feet of fully adaptable space and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and audio/visual capabilities and features several distinct training spaces including a simulation lab equipped with seven ultrasound scanning stations; a lecture hall featuring a 4½-foot tall by 24-foot wide liquid crystal display video wall to support live, virtual and even global presentations; and a green-screen broadcast studio designed to livestream content with single or multiple hosts.

In addition to our EXPAREL programs, we are hosting ongoing workshops to train new users on best practice techniques for iovera° administration at the PIT of Tampa. Led by healthcare professionals, these labs include didactic lectures and hands-on trainings including live model nerve scanning and identification using ultrasound and peripheral nerve stimulation.

At no fee to the organization, the PIT of Tampa also serves as a venue for national anesthesia provider organizations to host their own workshops and training sessions to educate healthcare providers.

Houston, Texas

In January 2023, we opened our second training facility, the Houston Pacira Innovation and Training Center, in Houston, Texas. This 19,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility features a 125-seat adaptive lecture hall featuring the same liquid crystal display video wall that the PIT of Tampa has, a broadcast studio and both wet and dry lab space for cadaver and other interactive workshops. A simulation lab is equipped with eight advanced ultrasound machines equipped with artificial intelligence and 3-D training software in addition to professional medical lighting and in-ceiling cameras. The PIT of Houston is core to developing both our physician champions and community-based clinicians who want to stay on the forefront of opioid-sparing pain management. With this new training facility, we have doubled our capacity and ability to host programs for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°.

Total revenues $ 163,926 $ 167,466 (2)% $ 493,734 $ 494,868 (0)%
EXPAREL revenue decreased 3% and 1% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, primarily due to decreases of 4% in net selling price per unit in each period related to enrolling EXPAREL in the 340B drug pricing program and expanding other contracting activities, partially offset by a January 2023 price increase. EXPAREL revenue was also impacted by increases in gross vial volumes of 2% and 4% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, and reduced by 1% due to a shift in sales mix in both periods.
ZILRETTA revenue increased 9% and 6% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, primarily due to increases of 6% in gross kit volume in both periods and increases of 2% and 1% in net selling price per unit during the applicable periods.
Net product sales of iovera° increased 18% and 28% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, due to increases of 22% and 31% in Smart Tip volume and increases of 2% and 3% in selling price per Smart Tip, respectively, partially offset by a higher returns allowance.
Bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension net product sales decreased 71% and 59% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively. Its related royalties decreased 62% and 46% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, primarily due to the timing and product mix of orders and related sales made by Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. for veterinary use.
The following tables provide a summary of activity with respect to our sales related allowances and accruals related to EXPAREL and ZILRETTA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Total reductions of gross product sales from sales-related allowances and accruals were $95.5 million and $52.8 million, or 16.3% and 9.7% of gross product sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The overall 6.6% increase in sales-related allowances and accruals as a percentage of gross product sales was primarily related to accruals as a result of enrolling EXPAREL in the 340B drug pricing program and chargeback-related allowances.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily relates to the costs to produce, package and deliver our products to customers. These expenses include labor, raw materials, manufacturing overhead and occupancy costs, depreciation of facilities, royalty payments, quality control and engineering.
The following table provides information regarding our cost of goods sold and gross margin during the periods indicated, including percent changes (dollar amounts in thousands):
Three Months Ended
September 30, 		% Increase / (Decrease) Nine Months Ended
September 30, 		% Increase / (Decrease)
2023 2022 2023 2022
Cost of goods sold $ 39,750 $ 50,678 (22)% $ 136,977 $ 137,379 (0)%
Gross margin 76 % 70 % 72 % 72 %
Gross margin increased six percentage-points in the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, mainly due to lower royalty expense due to no longer owing royalties for EXPAREL made under the 45-liter manufacturing process (as further discussed below) and lower inventory reserves. These increases were partially offset by an increase in sales-related allowances and accruals as a result of enrolling EXPAREL in the 340B drug pricing program which resulted in a lower net selling price in the period. Also offsetting were higher ZILRETTA product cost sold in the period.
Gross margin remained flat in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, mainly due to higher EXPAREL product cost and sales-related allowances and accruals as a result of enrolling EXPAREL in the 340B drug pricing program, which resulted in a lower net selling price in the period. This was offset by higher costs in 2022 for the transition of iovera° manufacturing sites and next-generation handheld devices.
On August 8, 2023, the United States District Court, District of Nevada, concluded we are no longer obligated to pay royalties to the Research and Development Foundation for EXPAREL made under the 45-liter manufacturing process. For more information, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses primarily consist of costs related to clinical trials and related outside services, product development and other research and development costs, including trials that we are conducting to generate new data for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° and stock-based compensation expense. Clinical and preclinical development expenses include costs for clinical personnel, clinical trials performed by third-parties, toxicology studies, materials and supplies, database management and other third-party fees. Product development and manufacturing capacity expansion expenses include development costs for our products, which include personnel, equipment, materials and contractor costs for process development and product candidates, development costs related to significant scale-ups of our manufacturing capacity and facility costs for our research space. Regulatory and other expenses include regulatory activities related to unapproved products and indications, medical information expenses, registry expenses and related personnel. Stock-based compensation expense relates to the costs of stock option grants, awards of restricted stock units, or RSUs, and our employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP.

% of total revenues 13 % 12 % 12 % 14 %
Total research and development expense increased 7% and decreased 16% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively.
Clinical and preclinical development expense decreased 19% and 56% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, due to the completion of two EXPAREL lower extremity nerve block trials in bunionectomy and TKA in the third quarter of 2022, toxicology studies that are near completion for product candidates, partially offset by start-up costs for both ZILRETTA shoulder and iovera° spasticity trials.
Product development and manufacturing capacity expansion expense increased 30% and 52% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, mainly attributable to the continued scale-up activities of our EXPAREL manufacturing capacity at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California (for which a prior approval supplement was submitted to the FDA in October 2023 with an anticipated PDUFA action date in February 2024), as well as new product development costs related to gene therapy.
Regulatory and other expense increased 20% and 29% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, due to increased enrollment and additional sites related to an observational iovera° registry study which tracks patients’ symptoms and experience with pain management related to OA of the knee, and increased medical information publications.
Stock-based compensation increased 25% and 22% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, primarily due to greater equity awards outstanding for research and development personnel, partially offset by a lower fair value of newer equity awards granted.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our sales force and personnel that support our sales, marketing, medical and scientific affairs operations, expenses related to communicating the health outcome benefits of our products, investments in provider-level market access and patient reimbursement support and educational programs for our customers. General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and benefits for legal, finance, regulatory activities related to approved products and indications, compliance, information technology, human resources, business development, executive management and other supporting personnel. It also includes professional fees for legal, audit, tax and consulting services. Stock-based compensation expense relates to the costs of stock option grants, RSU awards and our ESPP.

Total selling, general and administrative expense increased 11% and 7% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively.
Sales and marketing expense increased 14% and 8% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, driven by an increase in marketing investments in our products, including educational initiatives and programs related to the impact of opioids and postsurgical pain management and our national advocacy campaign designed to educate patients about non-opioid treatment options. In 2023, we also invested in strategic partnerships with sports organizations, such as the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and National Football League Alumni Association (NFLA), to increase awareness of the availability and benefits of non-opioid options to manage acute and chronic pain for athletes, including postsurgical pain and knee OA. We also expanded our investment in clinician training in the use of EXPAREL and iovera° at our training facility in Tampa, as well as the opening of a second training facility in Houston, Texas in January 2023. We also announced a new grant to the ASA’s Charitable Foundation to advance the medical specialty of anesthesiology and pain medicine, facilitate best in-class clinician education and improve patient care.
General and administrative expense increased 13% and 10% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, primarily driven by legal fees attributable to ongoing litigation. For more information, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
Stock-based compensation decreased 3% and 4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in the number of equity awards outstanding for selling, general and administrative personnel.

Contingent Consideration Charges (Gains), Restructuring Charges and Other
The following table provides a summary of the costs related to the contingent consideration, acquisition-related charges and restructuring charges during the periods indicated, including percent changes (dollar amounts in thousands):
Three Months Ended
September 30, 		% Increase / (Decrease) Nine Months Ended
September 30, 		% Increase / (Decrease)
2023 2022 2023 2022
Contingent consideration 2,793 (1,043) N/A (3,847) (23,394) (84)%
Acquisition-related charges $ 390 $ 1,532 (75)% $ 1,588 $ 10,162 (84)%
Restructuring charges 173 — N/A 1,109 — N/A
Total contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other $ 3,356 $ 489 100% + $ (1,150) $ (13,232) (91)%
Total contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other increased by more than 100% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022 and decreased 91% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other of $3.4 million in charges, which were primarily driven by an increase in the contingent consideration milestones for the Flexion Acquisition due to market volatility which affects the liability’s present value.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other of $1.2 million in gains. These gains were primarily due to adjustments to long-term forecasts which reduced the probability of meeting the sales-based contingent consideration milestones for the Flexion Acquisition by December 31, 2030, the expiration date for achieving the milestones. The contingent consideration gain was partially offset by a decrease in the assumed discount rate that is utilized in calculating the liability’s present value, based on a significant improvement in our incremental borrowing rate. Partially offsetting these gains were acquisition-related charges primarily related to vacant and underutilized Flexion leases. In addition, in June 2023, we implemented a restructuring plan in an effort to improve our operational efficiencies and recognized one-time employee termination benefits through a reduction of headcount.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other of $0.5 million in charges. These charges are primarily related to severance and other employee related costs, legal and other professional fees, third-party services and other one-time charges associated with the Flexion Acquisition, which were partially offset by gains from changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Flexion Acquisition and MyoScience Acquisition.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized contingent consideration charges (gains), restructuring charges and other of $13.2 million in gains. These gains were primarily driven by reductions in acquisition contingent consideration liabilities due to adjustments to near-term forecasts for the applicable period during which the Flexion contingent consideration may be achieved under the Flexion merger agreement and due to the reduced probability of meeting the MyoScience contingent consideration milestones by December 31, 2023, the expiration date for achieving those milestones . These gains were partially offset by severance and other employee related costs, legal and other professional fees, third-party services and other one-time charges associated with the Flexion Acquisition.
For more information, see Note 9, Financial Instruments and Note 14, Contingent Consideration Charges (Gains), Restructuring Charges and Other , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Total other expense, net $ (1,120) (19,220) (94)% $ (26,526) $ (38,547) (31)%
Total other expense, net decreased 94% and 31% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022, respectively.
The 65% and 42% decrease in interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, was primarily driven by entering into the TLA Term Loan (as defined below) in March 2023 in order to retire our term loan B and related credit agreement (the “TLB Term Loan”), and, to a lesser extent, the absence of our 2.375% convertible senior notes that matured in April 2022. Retiring our TLB Term Loan is expected to significantly further reduce our 2023 full-year interest expense as our new TLA Term Loan carries approximately $140.0 million less principal and an interest rate that is 400 basis points lower than the interest rate applicable under the retired TLB Term Loan.
The increases in interest income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the comparable periods in 2022 were due to higher interest rates and overall investment balances.
In conjunction with the entry into the TLA Credit Agreement (as defined below), we incurred a $16.9 million loss on early extinguishment of debt recognized as a result of the retirement of $287.5 million aggregate principal of our TLB Term Loan in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For more information, see Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
Other, net expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a $10.0 million impairment related to an equity investment.
Income Tax Expense
The following table provides information regarding our income tax expense during the periods indicated, including percent changes (dollar amounts in thousands):
Three Months Ended
September 30, 		% Increase / (Decrease) Nine Months Ended
September 30, 		% Increase / (Decrease)
2023 2022 2023 2022
Income tax expense $ 5,743 $ 2,762 100% + $ 10,896 $ 5,359 100% +
Effective tax rate 35 % 133 % 39 % 17 %
The effective tax rates were 35% and 39% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates were 133% and 17% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Income tax expense represents the estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date domestic operating results adjusted for certain discrete tax items.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 include costs related to non-deductible stock-based compensation and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by credits and a fair value adjustment for the Flexion contingent consideration.
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 include costs related to non-deductible executive compensation, valuation allowances recorded against non-U.S. operating results and U.S. capital losses, partially offset by benefits for a first quarter milestone payment to SkyePharma Holding, Inc. (now a subsidiary of Vectura Group plc),
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 43
or Skyepharma, a fair value adjustment for Flexion contingent consideration and the impact of stock-based compensation adjustments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception in 2006, we have devoted most of our cash resources to manufacturing, research and development and selling, general and administrative activities related to the development and commercialization of EXPAREL. In addition, we acquired ZILRETTA as part of the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021 and iovera° as part of the MyoScience Acquisition in April 2019. We are primarily dependent on the commercial success of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA. We have financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale of convertible senior notes and other debt, common stock, product sales and collaborative licensing and milestone revenue. As of September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $131.7 million, cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments of $235.2 million and working capital of $353.6 million.
We expect that our cash and available-for-sale investments on hand will be adequate to cover our short-term liquidity needs, and that we would be able to access other sources of financing should the need arise.
Summary of Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The increase of $3.8 million was attributable to increased interest income and lower interest expense, partially offset by the payment of a $13.0 million termination fee relating to a licensing agreement.
Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $69.2 million, which reflected proceeds from $89.3 million of available-for-sale investment sales (net of purchases), partially offset by purchases of fixed assets of $13.4 million for fill lines for our products and equipment for an EXPAREL capacity expansion project at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California and purchases of equity and debt investments of $6.8 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $236.4 million, which reflected $166.8 million of available-for-sale investment purchases (net of maturities), a $32.0 million contingent consideration milestone payment that had been achieved in the fourth quarter of 2021 associated with our 2007 acquisition of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from Skyepharma, purchases of fixed assets of $24.6 million for fill lines for our products and equipment for an EXPAREL capacity expansion project at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California and purchases of equity and debt investments of $13.0 million.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $181.3 million, which consisted of a $296.9 million repayment of TLB Term Loan principal as well as a $5.8 million prepayment penalty in connection with the retirement of the TLB Term Loan facility and $30.6 million repayments of TLA Term Loan principal, partially offset by the net proceeds from the TLA Term Loan of $149.6 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.9 million and $1.7 million from the issuance of common stock through our ESPP. See Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion on the TLA Term Loan and TLB Term Loan.
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 44
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $343.0 million, which primarily consisted of a $192.6 million principal repayment of the 3.375% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Flexion 2024 Notes”) as part of a repurchase offer to the holders of the Flexion 2024 Notes that was triggered by the Flexion Acquisition, $157.0 million to settle the 2022 Notes that matured on April 1, 2022 and $18.8 million of scheduled repayments of Term Loan principal, partially offset by $23.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $1.8 million from the issuance of common stock through our ESPP.
Debt
2028 Term Loan A Facility
On March 31, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement (the “TLA Credit Agreement”) to refinance the indebtedness outstanding under our TLB Credit Agreement (as defined and discussed below). The term loan issued under the TLA Credit Agreement (the “TLA Term Loan”) was issued at a 0.30% discount and provides for a single-advance term loan A facility in the principal amount of $150.0 million, which is secured by substantially all of our and any subsidiary guarantor’s assets and matures on March 31, 2028. We may elect to borrow either (i) alternate base rate borrowings or (ii) term benchmark borrowings or daily simple SOFR (as defined in the TLA Credit Agreement) borrowings. Each term loan borrowing which is an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the TLA Credit Agreement), plus (ii) a spread based on our Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%. Each term loan borrowing which is a term benchmark borrowing or daily simple SOFR borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as each is defined in the TLA Credit Agreement), plus (ii) a spread based on our Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio ranging from 3.00% to 3.75%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made a scheduled principal payment of $2.8 million as well as $27.8 million of voluntary principal prepayments. Due to voluntary principal prepayments of $27.8 million made during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we are not required to make further principal payments for the remainder of 2023 and 2024. As of September 30, 2023, borrowings under the TLA Term Loan consisted entirely of term benchmark borrowings at a rate of 8.47%.
The TLA Credit Agreement requires us to, among other things, maintain (i) a Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the TLA Credit Agreement), determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, of no less than 1.50 to 1.00. The TLA Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other provisions. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the TLA Credit Agreement. See Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
2026 Term Loan B Facility
In December 2021, we entered into the $375.0 million TLB Term Loan which was secured by substantially all of our and any subsidiary guarantor’s assets and was scheduled to mature on December 7, 2026, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the TLB Credit Agreement.
On March 31, 2023, we used the $149.6 million of net borrowings under the TLA Credit Agreement and cash on hand to repay the indebtedness outstanding under the TLB Credit Agreement and concurrently terminated the TLB Credit Agreement. We incurred a prepayment fee of 2.00% of the outstanding principal balance of the TLB Term Loan in connection with the termination. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made a scheduled principal payment of $9.4 million and repaid the outstanding $287.5 million principal on the TLB Term Loan, which resulted in a $16.9 million loss on early extinguishment of debt. See Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
2025 Convertible Senior Notes
In July 2020, we completed a private placement of $402.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 0.750% convertible senior notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, and entered into an indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.750% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 st and August 1 st of each year. The 2025 Notes mature on August 1, 2025. At September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes was $402.5 million. See Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
2024 Convertible Senior Notes
In November 2021, as part of the Flexion Acquisition, we assumed $201.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes. The Flexion 2024 Notes have a maturity date of May 1, 2024, are unsecured, and accrue interest at a rate
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 45
of 3.375% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 st and November 1 st of each year. In January 2022, we repurchased $192.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes. At September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal on the Flexion 2024 Notes was $8.6 million. See Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments and cash received from product sales will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditure requirements and payment of the interest and principal on our TLA Term Loan, Flexion 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) through the next 12 months. Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including, but not limited to:
• the cost and timing of the potential milestone payments to former Flexion stockholders, which could be up to an aggregate of $372.3 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met. See Note 9, Financial Instruments , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for more information;
• the cost and timing of potential remaining milestone payments to former MyoScience security holders, which could be up to an aggregate of $43.0 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met. See Note 9, Financial Instruments , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for more information;
• the impact of global economic conditions—including the impact of inflation—on our product and material costs, supply chain, longer lead-times, an inability to secure a sufficient supply of materials, our operating expenses and our business strategy;
• the timing of and extent to which the holders of our Notes elect to convert their Notes, the timing of principal and interest payments on our TLA Term Loan and the timing and impact of increases to the variable interest rate on our TLA Term Loan borrowings in accordance with the terms of the TLA Credit Agreement;
• the costs and our ability to successfully continue to expand the commercialization of EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°, including markets outside of the U.S.;
• the cost and timing of expanding and maintaining our manufacturing facilities, including the current EXPAREL capacity expansion project at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California (for which a prior approval supplement was submitted to the FDA in October 2023 with an anticipated PDUFA action date in February 2024) and capital projects at the Thermo Fisher site in Swindon, England;
• the cost and timing of additional strategic investments, including additional investments under existing agreements;
• the costs related to legal and regulatory matters;
• the costs of performing additional clinical trials for our products, including the additional pediatric trials required by the FDA and EMA as a condition of the approval of EXPAREL;
• the costs for the development and commercialization of other product candidates;
• the costs and timing of future payments under our employee benefit plans, including but not limited to our cash long-term incentive plan and non-qualified deferred compensation plan; and
• the extent to which we acquire or invest in products, businesses and technologies.
We may require additional debt or equity financing to meet our future operating and capital requirements. We have no committed external sources of funds, and additional equity or debt financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In particular, capital market disruptions or negative economic conditions may hinder our access to capital.

Critical Accounting Estimates
For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to our 2022 Annual Report . There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies nor any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial results since December 31, 2022.

Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q3 2023 Form 10-Q | Page 46
Contractual Obligations
Except for entry into the new TLA Credit Agreement and termination of the TLB Credit Agreement as described in Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations relating to our indebtedness, lease obligations and purchase obligations from those reported in our 2022 Annual Report. For more information on our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, see Part II, Item 7 in our 2022 Annual Report .
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objective of our cash equivalents and investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income that we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. We invest in corporate bonds, commercial paper, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury and other government agency notes, which are reported at fair value. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the interest rate later rises, we expect that the fair value of our investment will decline. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have reduced the fair value of our available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2023 by approximately $0.7 million.
The fair values of our Notes are impacted by both the fair value of our common stock and interest rate fluctuations. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes was $909 per $1,000 principal amount. See Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of our Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate. At September 30, 2023, all $402.5 million of principal remains outstanding on the 2025 Notes and $8.6 million of principal remains outstanding on the Flexion 2024 Notes.
The TLB Term Loan provided for a single-advance term loan in the principal amount of $375.0 million and was scheduled to mature on December 7, 2026. Each term loan borrowing which was an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the TLB Term Loan Credit Agreement) subject to a 1.75% floor, plus 6.00%. Each term loan borrowing which was a term benchmark borrowing bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR rate (as defined in the TLB Term Loan Credit Agreement) subject to a 0.75% floor plus (ii) 7.00%. We repaid the outstanding principal for TLB Term Loan on March 31, 2023, therefore there were no outstanding borrowings under the TLB Term Loan as of September 30, 2023.
The TLA Term Loan provides for a single-advance term loan in the principal amount of $150.0 million and is scheduled to mature on March 31, 2028. Each term loan borrowing that is a term benchmark borrowing or daily simple SOFR borrowing bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as each is defined in the TLA Credit Agreement), plus (ii) a spread based on our Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio ranging from 3.00% to 3.75%. As of September 30, 2023, borrowings under the TLA Term Loan consisted entirely of term benchmark borrowings at a rate of 8.47%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense by approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
As a result of the Flexion Acquisition and as discussed in more detail in Note 8, Debt , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, any future conversion rights for the Flexion 2024 Notes are subject to the occurrence of any future events giving rise to such conversion rights under the indenture governing the Flexion 2024 Notes.
We have agreements with certain vendors and partners that operate in foreign jurisdictions. The more significant transactions are primarily denominated in the U.S. Dollar, subject to an annual adjustment based on changes in currency exchange rates.
Additionally, our accounts receivable are primarily concentrated with four large wholesalers of pharmaceutical products. In the event of non-performance or non-payment, there may be a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or net cash flow.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For information related to Item 1. Legal Proceedings, refer to Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies , to our
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report , which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. Except as described below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors included in our 2022 Annual Report. The risks described in our 2022 Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

If we fail to successfully execute the transition of David Stack, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, we may not be able to execute our business strategy.

In September 2023, David Stack, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, announced that he intends to retire as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board effective immediately upon the appointment of his successor as Chief Executive Officer in order to ensure a smooth transition of leadership. The Board of Directors has engaged an executive search firm to assist in a comprehensive search for the Company’s next Chief Executive Officer.

Our success depends in a large part upon the leadership of our Chief Executive Officer, which is critical to, among other things, our mission, strategic direction, culture, products and technologies. Leadership transitions can be inherently difficult to manage. An inadequate transition to a new Chief Executive Officer may cause disruption within the Company, adversely affecting our financial performance and ability to meet operational goals and strategic plans. Management turnover also inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution. In addition, to the extent we experience additional management turnover, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer. Furthermore, while we have succession plans in place and we have employment arrangements with certain key executives, these do not guarantee the services of these executives will continue to be available to us.
