Risk Factors This section outlines significant risks impacting business, financial condition, and operations, covering development, commercialization, third-party reliance, IP, industry, and stock volatility Risks Related to Our Business - Financial prospects heavily depend on AbbVie's MAVYRET/MAVIRET sales, which are subject to decline due to COVID-19, competition, pricing pressure, or AbbVie's strategic decisions126129 - The company faces intense competition in HCV, NASH, RSV, and HBV markets from larger pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, risking competitive position if not 'first to market' or lacking compelling advantages130132 - The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects business, clinical trials, and royalty revenues, causing supply chain disruptions, trial delays, and reduced patient access, with uncertain full impact134 - The company has limited independent clinical development experience, making successful development and commercialization of wholly-owned product candidates (EDP-938, EDP-514, EDP-305, EDP-297) challenging, and failure to retain key personnel could impair business expansion135137139142 - Future operating losses are possible due to uncertain AbbVie royalty revenues and increasing R&D expenses, potentially requiring substantial additional financing or forcing delays/termination of product development efforts143144 Risks Related to Development, Clinical Testing and Regulatory Approval of Our Product Candidates - Clinical drug development is lengthy, expensive, and uncertain, with potential delays from CRO negotiations, regulatory approvals, patient recruitment challenges (exacerbated by COVID-19), and manufacturing issues, harming commercial prospects and increasing costs147149 - Product candidates (EDP-938, EDP-514, EDP-305, EDP-297) may have undesirable side effects, potentially delaying or preventing marketing approval, requiring safety warnings, or leading to market withdrawal, with unknown long-term effects of new drug classes151153 - Results from earlier clinical trials may not predict later-stage outcomes, and regulatory approval processes are lengthy, unpredictable, and subject to discretion, potentially leading to denial or restrictive labeling156157159 Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Product Candidates - Unfavorable pricing regulations, third-party reimbursement practices, and healthcare reform initiatives (e.g., ACA) could harm the business by reducing demand, limiting coverage, or lowering reimbursement rates for MAVYRET/MAVIRET and future products163164166167 - The company lacks its own sales and marketing infrastructure, and failure to establish internal capabilities or secure favorable licensing/collaboration agreements could prevent successful market entry for approved product candidates168 - Commercial success depends on significant market acceptance by physicians, patients, and healthcare payors, influenced by efficacy, safety, clinical indications, pricing, reimbursement, and competitive advantages170 Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties - Failure to establish new product collaborations could impair development and commercialization, increase cash expenditures, and necessitate additional expertise, while termination of the AbbVie agreement would significantly impact the business171173 - Reliance on third-party manufacturers for product candidate supplies carries risks, including regulatory compliance, quality control, supply chain disruptions (e.g., COVID-19), and potential termination of agreements, with significant manufacturing in China exposing geopolitical and epidemic risks174176 - Dependence on CROs and other third parties for clinical trials means less control over timing and cost, with failures potentially delaying or terminating trials, compromising data integrity, or leading to disputes177178180 Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property Rights - Inability to obtain or maintain adequate patent protection for product candidates could materially adversely impact the business, as patents may be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged, and government funding grants certain rights181182 - Claims of infringement by third parties could lead to costly litigation, substantial damages, or require seeking licenses, potentially diverting management attention and negatively impacting financial condition185 - Intellectual property rights have limitations, as competitors may develop similar compounds not covered by patents, or changes in patent law could diminish patent value and weaken protection192193 - Confidentiality agreements may not prevent unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, potentially compromising competitive position, and unfavorable IP litigation outcomes could limit R&D or commercialization ability187189191 Risks Related to Our Industry - The company faces inherent product liability risk from clinical testing and commercialization, potentially leading to substantial liabilities, decreased demand, reputational harm, and product recalls, with insurance possibly inadequate195 - Internal computer systems or those of third parties are vulnerable to security breaches, which could disrupt development programs, lead to data loss, regulatory non-compliance, substantial liability, and reputational damage196 - Relationships with customers and payors are subject to anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, and other healthcare laws, potentially exposing the company to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, and diminished profits if non-compliance occurs198199201 Risks Related to Our Common Stock - The company's stock price is volatile due to factors like clinical trial results, regulatory actions, AbbVie's sales performance, competition, and general market conditions, with investors relying solely on price appreciation due to no dividend payments203204209210 - Provisions in corporate charter documents and Delaware law could make an acquisition more difficult, and employment agreements with executive officers include severance benefits upon change of control, potentially harming financial condition205207 - Failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could lead to inaccurate financial reports or fraud, harming business and stock price, while analyst coverage impacts stock price and trading volume208211 Item 6.
