NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands (except share data)
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization . NovoCure Limited (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the Bailiwick of Jersey and is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and commercialization of Tumor Treating Fields delivery systems, including Optune and Optune Lua, for the treatment of solid tumors. The Company has received regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under the Premarket Approval (“PMA") pathway and regulatory approvals and clearances in certain other countries for Optune to treat adult patients with glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”). The Company also has received FDA approval under the Humanitarian Device Exemption pathway to market Optune Lua for unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic malignant pleural mesothelioma (“MPM”) in combination with standard chemotherapies.
Financial statement preparation . The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation for the periods presented. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020.
The significant accounting policies applied in the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as disclosed in the 2019 10-K are applied consistently in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, except as noted below:
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in the more timely recognition of losses. ASU 2016-13 also applies to employee benefit plan accounting, with an effective date of the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company adopted the standard effective as of January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract should be presented as a prepaid asset in the balance sheet and expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement to the same line item in the statement of income as the costs related to the hosting fees. The Company adopted the standard effective as of January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Options granted under the 2015 Plan that are canceled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants. RSUs granted under the 2015 Plan generally vest over a three year period. PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan generally vest between a three and six year period as performance targets are attained. RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan that are canceled before expiration become available for future grants. As of March 31, 2020, 11,430,386 ordinary shares were available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

The PSUs vest no earlier than three years from the date of grant and no later than six years from the date of grant. The grant date fair value of PSUs with market vesting conditions were obtained by using Monte Carlo simulations. All RSUs and PSUs are expensed in accordance with ASC 718.
In September 2015, the Company adopted an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) to encourage and enable eligible employees to acquire ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares purchased through accumulated payroll

deductions on an after-tax basis. In the United States, the ESPP is intended to be an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and the provisions of the ESPP are construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of such section. As of March 31, 2020, 4,050,089 ordinary shares were available to be purchased by eligible employees under the ESPP and 414,559 shares had been issued under the ESPP.
The fair value of share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model for all equity grants. For market condition awards, the Company also applied the Monte-Carlo simulation model. We assessed fair value using the following underlying assumptions:

Total share-based compensation expense $ 16,557 $ 9,649 $ 52,416
NOTE 6: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus potential dilutive shares considered outstanding during the period, in accordance with ASC 260-10, as determined under the treasury stock method. Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share was the same for each period presented, except for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as the inclusion of all potential dilutive shares (deriving from options, RSUs and the ESPP) outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average of potentially dilutive securities, which consists of ordinary shares underlying outstanding share options, RSUs, performance share units and the ESPP. The effect of these dilutive securities under the treasury stock method was approximately 8,223,056 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The Company excluded 352,291 share options under the treasury stock method from the computation of dilutive net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 because including them would had have an anti-dilutive effect.
