REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 21, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), using the modified retrospective approach which does not require prior periods to be restated.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Rebate Accrual for Medicaid – Refer to “Note 3-Product Sales, Net” to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
As more fully disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue on sales of WAKIX when the customer obtains control of the product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery. Product revenues are recorded at the product’s wholesale acquisition costs, net of applicable reserves for variable consideration that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers, payors, and other indirect customers relating to the sale of WAKIX. Components of variable consideration include government and commercial contracts, commercial co-payment assistance program transactions, and distribution service fees.
The rebate provision and related liability related to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (the “Medicaid rebate accrual”) involves the use of significant assumptions and judgments in the Company’s calculation. These significant assumptions and judgements include consideration of legal interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, historical claims experience, payer channel mix, current contract prices, unbilled claims, claims submission time lags, and inventory levels in the distribution channel.
Given the complexity involved in determining the significant assumptions used in calculating the Medicaid rebate accrual, auditing these estimates involved especially subjective judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the Medicaid rebate accrual included the following, among others:
● We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of the Company’s methods and assumptions used to calculate the Medicaid rebate accrual.
● We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over the review of the Company’s estimation model, including underlying assumptions and key inputs into the Company’s process to calculate the Medicaid rebate accrual.
● We tested the mathematical accuracy of the Medicaid rebate accrual.
● We tested significant assumptions and key inputs used to calculate the Medicaid rebate accrual.
● We evaluated the Company’s ability to estimate the Medicaid rebate accrual accurately by comparing actual amounts incurred for the Medicaid rebate accrual to historical estimates.
● We tested the overall reasonableness of the Medicaid rebate accrual recorded at period end by developing an expectation for comparison to actual recorded balances.

HARMONY BIOSCIENCES HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
1 . ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company
Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary (the “Company”) was founded in July 2017 as Harmony Biosciences II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Company converted to a Delaware corporation named Harmony Biosciences II, Inc. in September 2017 and, in February 2020, the Company changed its name to Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. The Company’s operations are conducted in its wholly owned subsidiary, Harmony Biosciences, LLC (“Harmony”), which was formed in May 2017. The Company is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients living with rare neurological disorders as well as patients living with other neurological diseases who have unmet medical needs. The Company is headquartered in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.
Initial Public Offering
In August 2020, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock, in which it sold 6,151,162 shares, including 802,325 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The shares were sold at a price of $ 24.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $ 135,435 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of approximately $ 12,193 payable by the Company. Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into shares of common stock and the accrued dividend payable to holders of the convertible preferred stock was paid out in shares of common stock, resulting in a total of 42,926,630 shares of common stock being issued to former holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock. Warrants exercisable for convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into warrants exercisable for a total of 410,239 shares of common stock.
Reverse Stock Split
In August 2020, the Company implemented a 1-for-8.215 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share data shown in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retroactively revised to reflect the reverse stock split. Shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock options and other equity instruments were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities. Shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Company’s Preferred Stock and preferred dividend were proportionately reduced. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes to the number of shares of common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants and options to purchase common stock and per share data reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.
2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as though the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 272,130 and $ 453,598 , as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of $ 346,433 .
The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand as of December 31, 2022, as well as additional cash generated from operating and financing activities will meet its operational liquidity needs and fund its planned investing activities for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the results of clinical testing and trial activities of the Company’s product candidates; the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, the Company’s products, if approved; the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its product candidates; and the Company’s ability to raise capital.
The Company currently has one commercially approved product, WAKIX, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development efforts will result in successfully commercialized products in addition to WAKIX. Developing and commercializing a product requires significant time and capital and is subject to regulatory review and approval as well as competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change and is dependent upon the continued services of its employees and consultants and obtaining and protecting intellectual property.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and elsewhere in this report. Actual results may differ significantly from estimates, which include rebates due pursuant to commercial and government contracts, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes.
Operating Segments
The Company holds all its tangible assets, conducts its operations, and generates its revenues in the U.S. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company has determined it operates in a single operating segment and has one reportable segment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, all of which are short term in nature and, accordingly, approximate fair value. Additionally, prior to the IPO, the Company’s consolidated financial statements included a warrant liability that was carried at fair value and was re-measured at each balance sheet date until it would be exercised or expired. In connection with the IPO, the Warrants were re-evaluated under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and reclassified to equity. See Note 16 for a further discussion of the warrants.
It is the Company’s policy to measure non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These non-financial assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (such as evidence of impairment), which, if material, are disclosed in the accompanying footnotes.

Table of Contents
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs and models that are supported by little or no market activity.
Money market funds are classified as Level 1 fair value instruments. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are classified as Level 2 and carried at fair value, which we estimate utilizing a third-party pricing service. The pricing service utilizes industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, or other market-related data, are observable. We validate valuations obtained from third-party services by obtaining market values from other pricing sources. The Company did not classify any assets or liabilities as Level 3 as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of cash and, if applicable, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, including investments in Money Market Funds and debt securities that approximate fair value. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that equal the amount reflected in the statements of cash flows.

Restricted cash includes amounts required to be held as a security deposit in the form of letters of credit for the Company’s credit card program and the fleet program.
Investments
The Company’s investments consist of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Short-term and long-term investments are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts adjust the carrying value of investments and are recorded in interest expense, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Interest income and realized gains and losses, if any, are also recorded in interest expense, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses that result from the sale of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.
At each reporting period, the Company reviews any unrealized losses position to determine if the decline in the fair value of the underlying investments is a result of credit losses or other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, any impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses in our consolidated statement of operations.
Concentrations of Risk
Substantially all of the Company’s cash and money market funds are held in two financial institutions. Due to their size, the Company believes these financial institutions represent minimal credit risk. Deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for U.S. institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

The Company is also subject to credit risk from its trade receivables related to its product sales. The Company extends credit to specialty pharmaceutical distribution companies within the United States. Customer creditworthiness is monitored and collateral is not required. Historically, the Company has not experienced credit losses on its accounts receivable. The Company monitors its exposure within accounts receivable and would record a reserve against uncollectible accounts receivable if necessary. As of December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 100 % of gross accounts receivable, Caremark LLC (“CVS Caremark”), which accounted for 41 % of gross accounts receivable; Accredo Health Group, Inc. (“Accredo”), which accounted for 35 % of gross accounts receivable; and PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy LLC (“Pantherx”), which accounted for 24 % of gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, three customers accounted for 100 % of gross accounts receivable; Accredo, which accounted for 40 % of gross accounts receivable, Pantherx, which accounted for 31 % of gross accounts receivable and CVS Caremark, which accounted for 29 % of gross accounts receivable.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 100 % of gross product revenues; CVS Caremark accounted for 42 % of gross product revenues; Pantherx accounted for 29 % of gross product revenues; and Accredo accounted for 29 % of gross product revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2021, three customers accounted for 100 % of gross product revenues; CVS Caremark accounted for 36 % of gross product revenues; Pantherx accounted for 35 % of gross product revenues; and Accredo accounted for 29 % of gross product revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 100 % of gross product revenues; CVS Caremark accounted for 40 % of gross product revenues; Pantherx accounted for 33 % of gross products revenues; and Accredo accounted for 27 % of gross product revenues.
The Company depends on a single source supplier for each of its product and active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the specific identification method for all inventory. Our policy is to write down inventory that has become obsolete, that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value and/or that we have quantities in excess of expected future demand. The estimate of excess quantities is subjective and primarily dependent on our estimates of future demand. If our estimate of future demand changes, we consider the impact on the reserve for excess inventory and adjust the reserve as required. Inventory reserves are recorded as a component of cost of product sales in our consolidated statement of operations.
We may capitalize inventory costs associated with products prior to regulatory approval when future commercialization is probable. otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. The determination to capitalize inventory costs is based on various factors, including status and expectations of the regulatory approval process, any known safety or efficacy concerns, potential labeling restrictions, and any other impediments to obtaining regulatory approval.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between three and ten years . Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. The Company’s leasehold improvements primarily relate to its corporate headquarters in Plymouth Meeting, PA, and are generally being depreciated through the end of the lease term in May 2024. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period realized.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist primarily of purchased developed technology and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives associated with finite-lived intangible assets are consistent with the estimated lives of the associated products and may be modified when circumstances warrant. Such assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Table of Contents
Revenue Recognition
We account for contracts with our customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), or ASC 606. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under contracts will not occur in a future period. Our analyses contemplate the application of the constraint in accordance with ASC 606. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.
We have determined that the delivery of our product to our customer constitutes a single performance obligation as there are no other promises to deliver goods or services in contracts with our customers. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfilment activities and are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. The payment terms with our customers do not exceed one year and therefore, no amount of consideration has been allocated as a financing component. Taxes collected related to product sales are remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from revenue.
Product Sales, Net
We recognize revenue on sales of WAKIX when the customer obtains control of the product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery. Product revenues are recorded at the product’s list price, net of applicable reserves for variable consideration that are offered within contracts between us and our customers, payors, and other indirect customers relating to the sale of WAKIX. Components of variable consideration include government (as detailed below) and commercial contracts, commercial co-payment assistance program transactions, and distribution service fees. These deductions are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales, and are classified as a current liability or reduction of receivables.
Government Contracts
We have entered into contracts (i) to participate in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and the Medicare Part D program, and (ii) to sell to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 340b entities and other government agencies, or government payors, so that WAKIX will be eligible for purchase by, in partial or full reimbursement from, such government payors. We record reserves for rebates due pursuant to these contracts as a reduction of revenue in the same period in which the revenue is recognized. The liability for government rebates is included in accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet.
We estimate rebates due pursuant to government contracts based upon our historical payment and payor mix trends, information obtained from third parties estimating current payor mix, the government-mandated discounts applicable to government-funded programs, as well as information obtained from our customers. The liability for these government rebates consists of estimates of claims for WAKIX dispensed in the current period, plus an estimate for product which has shipped and has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel at the end of a reporting period.
Cost of Product Sold
Cost of product sold includes manufacturing and distribution costs, the cost of drug substance, FDA program fees, royalties due to third parties on net product sales, freight, shipping, handling, storage costs, and salaries of employees involved with production.
98
Table of Contents
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Liabilities due to third parties in connection with research and development collaborations prior to regulatory approval are expensed as incurred.
Upfront payments and pre-FDA approval milestone payments made for licensing of technology are expensed as research and development in the period in which they are incurred. Advance payments for goods and services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. The prepaid amounts are expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.
Advertising Expenses
We expensed the costs of advertising, including promotional expenses, as incurred. Advertising expenses were $ 22,428 , $ 19,558 and $ 13,301 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to stock-based payment transactions in operating results using a fair value measurement method, in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees to be recognized in operating results as compensation expense based on fair value over the requisite service period of the awards. The vesting periods have a time-based provision consisting of three to five years and expire no more than 10 years after the date of grant. Upon a change of control, certain unvested awards will immediately vest. The Company determines the fair value of stock-based awards on their grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses both historical and current market data to estimate fair value. The method incorporates various assumptions, such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and expected life of the options. The Company also had nonemployee stock awards subject to a performance condition that are recognized based on probable outcome of achieving future events.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is determined using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible preferred stock and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. The computation of diluted net loss per shares does not include the conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. The basic and diluted computations of net loss per share for the Company are the same because the effects of the Company’s convertible securities would be anti-dilutive (see Note 17 for further detail).
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Deferred tax assets may be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Management judgment is required in determining the period in which a reversal of a valuation allowance should occur. The Company is required to consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, such as historical levels of income and future forecasts of taxable income among other items, in determining whether a full or partial release of its valuation allowance is required. During the year ended December 31, 2022, in part because in the current year we achieved three years of cumulative pretax income, which is a positive indication of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income, the Company determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that additional deferred taxes are realizable and, therefore, released the valuation allowance accordingly. Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents the
99
Table of Contents
best estimate of those future events. The Company presents deferred income taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a jurisdictional basis as either a net noncurrent asset or liability.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 % likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which a change in judgment occurs. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did no t have any unrecognized uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to include any interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) . In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which provides guidance related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and could initially be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022, which was extended to December 31, 2024 upon the FASB issuing ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates but does not expect a significant impact to its consolidated financial statements.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Money market funds are classified as Level 1 fair value instruments. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are classified as Level 2 and carried at fair value, which we estimate utilizing a third-party pricing service. The pricing service utilizes industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, or other market-related data, are observable. We validate valuations obtained from third-party services by obtaining market values from other pricing sources. The Company did not classify any assets or liabilities as Level 3 as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at each balance sheet date or when specific events occurred. As discussed in Note 16, in connection with the Company’s IPO the warrant fair value was updated on August 19, 2020 with the change in fair value recorded in current period earnings as other expense in the consolidated statement of operations and reclassified to equity. During the year ended December 31, 2020, a loss of $ 3,109 was recorded in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations due to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability.
The range of assumptions used to determine the fair value of the warrant liability through August 19, 2020 were as follows:
Dividend yield

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In August 2019, the Company received FDA approval of WAKIX ® (pitolisant) for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (“EDS”) in adult patients with narcolepsy. This event triggered a milestone payment of $ 75,000 under the provisions of the 2017 LCA (defined below) which the Company capitalized as an intangible asset. The Company determined a useful life of 10 years for such intangible asset, and, as of December 31, 2022 the remaining useful life was 6.8 years.
In October 2020, the Company received FDA approval for the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for WAKIX ® for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. This event triggered a milestone payment of $ 100,000 under the provisions of the 2017 LCA which the Company capitalized as an intangible asset and paid in January of 2021. The Company determined a useful life of 9 years for such intangible asset, and, as of December 31, 2022 the remaining useful life was 6.8 years.

Table of Contents
In February 2022, the Company attained $ 500,000 in life-to-date aggregate net sales of WAKIX in the United States. This event triggered a final $ 40,000 payment under the provisions of the 2017 LCA which the Company capitalized as an intangible asset and paid in March of 2022. The Company determined a useful life of 7.6 years for such intangible asset, and, as of December 31, 2022, the remaining useful life was 6.8 years.
Amortization expense was $ 22,966 , $ 18,424 and $ 9,843 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

8. LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
In July 2017, Harmony entered into a License Agreement (the “2017 LCA”) with Bioprojet Société Civile de Recherche (“Bioprojet”) whereby Harmony acquired the exclusive right to commercialize the pharmaceutical compound pitolisant for the treatment, and/or prevention, of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, idiopathic hypersomnia, and Parkinson’s disease as well as any other indications unanimously agreed by the parties in the United States and its territories. A milestone payment of $ 50,000 was due upon acceptance by the FDA of pitolisant’s NDA, which was achieved in February 2019 and was expensed within research and development for the year ended December 31, 2019. A milestone payment of $ 77,000 , which included a $ 2,000 fee that is described below, was due upon FDA approval of WAKIX (pitolisant) for treatment of EDS in adult patients with narcolepsy, which was achieved in August 2019. The $ 2,000 payment and $ 75,000 milestone payment were paid in August and November 2019, respectively. In addition, a milestone payment of $ 102,000 , which included a $ 2,000 fee was due upon the FDA approval of the NDA for WAKIX for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. The $ 2,000 payment was paid in October 2020 and a $ 100,000 milestone payment was paid in January 2021. A final $ 40,000 milestone payment was paid to Bioprojet in March 2022 upon WAKIX attaining $ 500,000 in aggregate net sales in the United States. The 2017 LCA also requires a fixed trademark royalty and a tiered royalty based on net sales, which is payable to Bioprojet on a quarterly basis. The Company incurred $ 77,107 , $ 50,957 and $ 25,580 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for sales-based, trademark and tiered royalties recognized as cost of product sold. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had accrued $ 25,367 and $ 16,396 , respectively, for sales-based, trademark and tiered royalties.
On July 31, 2022, Harmony entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “2022 LCA”) with Bioprojet whereby Harmony obtained exclusive rights to manufacture, use and commercialize one or more new products based on pitolisant in the United States and Latin America, with the potential to add additional indications and formulations upon agreement of both parties. Harmony paid an initial, non-refundable $ 30,000 licensing fee in October 2022 and additional payments of up to $ 155,000 are potentially due under the 2022 LCA upon the achievement of certain future development and sales-based milestones. In addition, there are other payments due upon achievement of development
102
Table of Contents
milestones for new indications and formulations as agreed upon by both parties. The 2022 LCA also requires a fixed trademark royalty and a tiered royalty based on net sales upon commercialization, which will be payable to Bioprojet on a quarterly basis. Upon the closing of the 2022 LCA on September 28, 2022, the $ 30,000 licensing fee was recorded in research and development within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Agreement Related to Intellectual Property
In August 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with ConSynance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “APA”) to acquire HBS-102 (formerly referred to as “CSTI-100”), a potential first-in-class molecule with a novel mechanism of action. Under the terms of the APA, the Company acquired full development and commercialization rights globally, with the exception of Greater China, for $ 3,500 . The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified asset. Additionally, there are payments due under the APA upon the achievement of certain milestones including $ 1,750 for preclinical milestones, $ 19,000 for development milestones, $ 44,000 for regulatory milestones and $ 110,000 for sales milestones.

Credit Agreements
Blackstone Credit Agreement
In August 2021, the Company entered into the Blackstone Credit Agreement that provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate original principal amount of $ 200,000 (the “Initial Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $ 100,000 (the “DDTL” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Loans”). The DDTL was initially available to draw down through August 9, 2022. In August 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expiration date of the DDTL to August 9, 2023, for which the Company will pay a ticking fee at a rate of 1 % per annum on the undrawn portion of the DDTL, which commenced on August 10, 2022.
The repayment schedule for the Initial Term Loan consists of quarterly $ 500 principal payments, which commenced on December 31, 2021 and increasing to quarterly $ 5,000 principal payments beginning on March 31, 2024, with a $ 145,500 payment due on the maturity date of August 9, 2026 (“Maturity Date”). Interest is payable quarterly, which commenced on November 9, 2021, and continues through the Maturity Date. The Initial Term Loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a 1.00 % floor, plus 6.50 %.
Net cash received from the Initial Term Loan was $ 191,849 , net of debt issuance costs of $ 8,151 . The debt issuance costs related to the Initial Term Loan are being amortized as additional interest expense over the five-year loan term of the Blackstone Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company paid $ 1,000 in debt issuance costs relating the DDTL, which are recorded in other current assets within the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Initial Term Loan as of December 31, 2022 was $ 155,198 .

OrbiMed Credit Agreement
In January 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with OrbiMed for an aggregate amount of $ 200,000 (the “OrbiMed Loan”), with a maturity date of January 2026. Borrowings under the OrbiMed Loan were collateralized by all of the Company’s assets, excluding the intellectual property licensed through the License Agreement. The OrbiMed Loan had an interest rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) 1-month LIBOR or (b) 2.00 % per annum, plus (ii) 11.00 % per annum, paid in cash monthly in arrears on the last day of each month starting in January 2020. At the time of prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of the principal of the OrbiMed Loan, the Company was required to pay an exit fee of 7.0 % of the principal amount of the OrbiMed Loan prepaid, repaid, or required to be prepaid or repaid. The Company recorded the exit fee as a liability and debt discount at the origination of the term loan.
In connection with the OrbiMed Loan, the Company extinguished its $ 200,000 multi-draw loan agreement with CRG Servicing LLC (the “CRG Loan”), which required a payoff amount of $ 120,893 consisting of principal repayment, interest, and exit fees. In connection with extinguishment of the CRG Loan, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $ 22,639 within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In connection with the Blackstone Credit Agreement, the Company extinguished the OrbiMed Loan, which required a payoff amount of $ 222,666 consisting of principal repayment, interest, exit fees and a prepayment premium. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $ 26,146 relating to the OrbiMed Loan within the Company’s consolidated statement of operation for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In June 2018, the Company entered into an operating lease for approximately fifteen thousand square feet of office space in Plymouth Meeting, PA, which expires in May 2024. In December 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for approximately thirteen thousand square feet of additional office space in Plymouth Meeting, PA, which expires in May 2024. The terms of the lease payments provide for rental payments on a monthly basis and on a graduated scale. The Company also leases a fleet of automobiles that are used by its sales representatives and are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 3 years , some of which may include the option to extend or terminate the leases.
The company recorded operating lease costs of $ 1,526 and $ 1,197 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and recorded rent expense of $ 686 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 1.6 years and the weighted-average discount rate for operating leases was 3.8 %.

The Company accrues such liabilities when they are known, if they are deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2022, there were no material claims or suits outstanding.
13. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into shares of common stock and the accrued dividend payable to holders of the convertible preferred stock was paid out in shares of common stock, resulting in a total of 42,926,630 shares of common stock issued to former holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock.
Series A Preferred Stock
In September 2017, the Company issued 270,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for a purchase price of $ 1.00 per share, or $ 270,000 in the aggregate. On January 8, 2018, the Company issued an additional 15,000,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for a purchase price of $ 1.00 per share, or $ 15,000 in the aggregate. Each outstanding share of Series A convertible preferred stock accrued dividends at 10 % per annum of the Series A original issue price, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, stock dividends and similar transactions. Preferred dividends on the Series A convertible preferred stock were cumulative and were compounded annually.
Series B Preferred Stock
In January 2018, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for a purchase price of $ 1.25 per share, or $ 10,000 in the aggregate. Each outstanding share of Series B convertible preferred stock accrued dividends at 10 % per annum of the Series B original issue price, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, stock dividends and similar transactions. Preferred dividends on the Series B convertible preferred stock were cumulative and were compounded annually.
Series C Preferred Stock
In August 2019, the Company issued 25,510,205 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock for a purchase price of $ 1.96 per share, or $ 50,000 in the aggregate. Each outstanding share of Series C convertible preferred stock accrued dividends at 10 % per annum of the Series C original issue price, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations, stock dividends and similar transactions. Preferred dividends on the Series C convertible preferred stock were cumulative and were compounded annually.
Dividends
The holders of Series A, Series B, and Series C convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, cumulative dividends equal to a 10 % per annum of Series A, Series B, and Series C convertible preferred stock. In addition, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A, Series B, and Series C convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, a dividend at least equal to any dividend payable on the Company’s common stock as if all convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. No dividends were declared as of December 31, 2019. As part of the Company’s IPO, the Company’s accrued cumulative dividend was paid out to holders of Series A, Series B, and Series C convertible preferred stock in shares of the Company’s common stock and reflects the reverse stock split in connection with the mandatory conversion of the Series A, Series B, and Series C convertible preferred stock into shares of the Company’s common stock.
14. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
In August 2020, the Company implemented a 1-for-8.215 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share and per share data shown in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retroactively revised to reflect the reverse stock split with the exception of the preferred stock. Shares of common stock underlying outstanding
106
Table of Contents
stock options and other equity instruments were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities. Shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Company’s Preferred Stock were proportionately reduced. In August 2020, the Company completed its IPO of common stock, in which it sold 6,151,162 shares, including 802,325 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The shares were sold at an IPO price of $ 24.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $ 135,435 , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses of approximately $ 12,193 incurred by the Company.
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The holders of common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The Company’s common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.
In connection with the Blackstone Credit Agreement, in August 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,048,951 shares of our common stock, par value $ 0.00001 per share, for an aggregate cash consideration of $ 30,000 , or $ 28.60 per share. This sale did not involve a public offering and was therefore exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D thereunder as a transaction not involving any public offering.
In September 2021, the Company issued 221,511 shares of common stock in connection with the OrbiMed warrant (see Note 16).
15. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2020 Stock Incentive Plan
In August 2020, the Company adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”), in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including the Company’s named executive officers) and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”), SARs, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock or cash-based awards.
Stock options and stock appreciation rights under the 2020 Plan have a 10-year contractual term and vest over the vesting period specified in the applicable award agreement, at achievement of a performance requirement, or upon change of control (as defined in the applicable plan). RSUs vest over the vesting period specified in the applicable award agreement, at achievement of a performance requirement, or upon change of control (as defined in the applicable plan). As of December 31, 2022, there were 4,746,884 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The number of shares that may be issued under the 2020 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 4.0 % of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors.
2017 Stock Incentive Plan
In August 2017, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “2017 Plan”). Under the 2017 Plan, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company can be paid incentive compensation measured by the value of the Company’s common shares through grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), or restricted stock.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, stock awards issued under the 2017 and 2020 Plans of 1,818,045 and 1,285,432 common shares, respectively, were vested.
Value of Stock Options and SARs
The Company values options and SARs using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company lacks sufficient historical company-specific volatility information. Therefore, the Company estimates expected stock volatility based on historical volatility of peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. For options with service-based vesting conditions, the expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-
108
Table of Contents
vanilla” options. For SARs, the expected term is based upon the weighting of certain future events. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for the time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. An expected dividend yield of 0 % is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.
The assumptions used to value the awards are summarized in the following table.

The weighted average per share fair value of awards issued under the 2017 Plan and the 2020 Plan was $ 18.88 , $ 12.82 and $ 10.06 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense was $ 26,905 , $ 16,105 and $ 5,190 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the following line items:

As of December 31, 2022, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to options and RSUs was $ 83,558 . Such amount will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2021. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 15 % discount from the lesser of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the offering period or the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date. Funds are collected from employees through after-tax payroll deductions. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was initially 629,805 , which will automatically increase on January 1 of each year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1.0 % of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. It is intended that the ESPP meet the requirements for an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 21,943 and 11,010 shares
109
Table of Contents
issued under the ESPP, respectively. The discount on the ESPP was $ 363 and $ 173 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is recorded within stock-based compensation expense.
16. WARRANTS
In connection with the OrbiMed Loan, the Company issued Warrants to OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities, LP on January 9, 2020. Pursuant to the Warrants, OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities, LP, may purchase up to 410,239 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for an initial exercise price of $ 16.10 at any time from the date of execution of the Warrants through the expiration date, defined within the Warrants as the earlier of (i) January 9, 2027 and (ii) the closing date of a Corporate Reorganization. The fair value of the Warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $ 2,359 on January 9, 2020 and was initially recorded as a warrant liability which was included in warrant liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The portion of the OrbiMed Loan proceeds allocated to the warrant liability resulted in a debt discount, which is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt and is being amortized as additional interest expense over the six-year loan term of the OrbiMed Loan. In connection with the Blackstone Credit Agreement, the OrbiMed Loan was repaid in fully and the unamortized debt discount related to the Warrants was included in the loss on debt extinguishment (see Note 12). In September 2021, OrbiMed exercised its option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Warrants, which resulted in the net settlement of 221,511 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to OrbiMed.
In connection with the IPO, the financial instrument underlying the warrants was converted from the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock to the Company’s Common Stock. As a result of this conversion the Warrants were re-evaluated under ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging and reclassified to equity.
17. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by diving net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company calculated Diluted net income per common share is computed under the treasury stock method by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus, for periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the potential dilutive effects of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company used the two-class method to compute net loss per common share because the Company has issued securities (convertible preferred stock) that entitled the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company. Under this method, net income is reduced by the amount of any dividends earned and the accretion of convertible preferred stock to its redemption value during the period. The remaining earnings (undistributed earnings) are allocated to common stock and each series of convertible preferred stock to the extent that each preferred security may share in the earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to common stock is then divided by the number of outstanding shares to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per share. The two-class method is not applicable during periods with a net loss, as the holders of the convertible preferred stock have no obligation to fund losses.
The Company reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the weighted average number of shares utilized for basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are the same for this period because all convertible preferred stock and stock options have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities would have an antidilutive impact. Additionally, the fair value adjustment for the warrants was excluded from the computation of diluted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 since the additional income would have an antidilutive impact.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our deferred tax assets were primarily the result of acquired in-process research and development costs, operating loss carryforwards, capitalized research and development costs, disallowed interest, inventory, and accrued rebates. A valuation allowance of $ 96,366 was recorded against our net deferred tax asset balance as of December 31, 2021. We recorded a tax benefit of $ 74,474 as a discrete item in the year ended December, 2022 related to the release of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, net, which had accumulated through December 31, 2021. We also recorded a tax benefit of $ 21,892 as a component to our current year effective tax rate in the year ended December 31, 2022, related to deferred tax assets, net, which were utilized in the current period.
As of each reporting date, the Company considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. During the year ended December 31, 2022, in part because in the current year we achieved three years of cumulative pretax income, which is a positive indication of the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income, the Company determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that additional deferred taxes are realizable and, therefore, released the valuation allowance accordingly. Changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
