ARVINAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Arvinas, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Arvinas” or “the Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery, development and commercialization of therapies that degrade disease-causing proteins.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arvinas, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, forming part of Arvinas’ 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform with current period presentation. Accounts payable and Accrued expenses have been condensed into Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and Interest income and Interest expense have been condensed into Interest income, net.
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates include assumptions and judgments based on historical experience, current conditions, future expectations and other factors the Company considers reasonable. These estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised as necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other biopharmaceutical companies in the early stage, including, but not limited to, the need to obtain adequate additional funding, possible failure of preclinical testing or clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates, competitors developing new technological innovations, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of the Company’s products and protection of proprietary technology. If the Company does not successfully obtain regulatory approval, it will be unable to generate revenue from product sales or achieve profitability.
To date, the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales and expects to incur additional operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company has financed its operations primarily through sales of equity interests, proceeds from collaborations, grant funding and debt financing. The Company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaling $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2022.
Impact of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations and in the markets they serve. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The full extent of the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations remains uncertain and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial results and business operations, including the
6
timing and ability of the Company to complete certain clinical trials and other efforts required to advance its preclinical pipeline.
2. Accounting Pronouncements and Significant Accounting Policies
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not identified any new standards that it believes will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
There were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
3. Research Collaboration and License Agreements
ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement
In July 2021, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) (the “ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company granted Pfizer worldwide co-exclusive rights to develop and commercialize products containing the Company’s proprietary compound ARV-471 (the “Licensed Products”). Under the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an upfront, non-refundable payment of $650.0 million. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive up to an additional $1.4 billion in contingent payments based on specific regulatory and sales-based milestones for the Licensed Products. Of the total contingent payments, $400.0 million in regulatory milestones are related to marketing approvals and $1.0 billion are related to sales-based milestones.
The Company and Pfizer share equally all development costs, including costs of conducting clinical trials, for the Licensed Products, subject to certain exceptions. Except for certain regions described below, the parties will also share equally all profits and losses in commercialization and medical affairs activities for the Licensed Products in all other countries, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company will be the marketing authorization holder in the United States and, subject to marketing approval, book sales in the United States, while Pfizer will hold marketing authorizations outside the United States. The parties will determine which, if any, regions within the world will be solely commercialized by one party, and in such region the parties will adjust their share of profits and losses for the Licensed Products based on the role each party will be performing.
As a direct result of the Company’s entry into the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, the Company incurred direct and incremental costs to obtain the contract totaling $12.9 million. In accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, the Company recognized an asset of $12.9 million in collaboration contract asset and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at inception of the agreement, which is being amortized as general and administrative expense over the total estimated period of performance under the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement.
Bayer Collaboration Agreement
In June 2019, the Company and Bayer AG entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Bayer Collaboration Agreement”) setting forth the Company’s collaboration with Bayer AG to identify or optimize proteolysis targeting chimeras ("PROTAC® targeted protein degraders") that mediate the degradation of target proteins. Under the terms of the Bayer Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an upfront, non-refundable payment of $17.5 million in exchange for the use of the Company’s technology license. Bayer is committed to fund an additional $12.0 million through 2023, of which of $10.5 million was received from inception through September 30, 2022. These payments are being recognized over the total estimated period of performance.
The Company is also eligible to receive up to $197.5 million in development milestone payments and up to $490.0 million in sales-based milestone payments for all designated targets. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive, on net sales of PROTAC targeted protein degrader-related products, mid-single digit to low-double digit tiered royalties, which may be subject to reductions. There were no development or sales-based milestone payments or royalties received as of September 30, 2022.
7
Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement
In December 2017, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Pfizer (the “Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement”). Under the terms of the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an upfront, non-refundable payment and certain additional payments totaling $28.0 million in 2018 in exchange for use of the Company’s technology license and to fund Pfizer-related research as defined within the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement. These payments are being recognized as revenue over the total estimated period of performance. The Company is eligible to receive up to an additional $37.5 million in non-refundable option payments if Pfizer exercises its options for all targets under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement. The Company is also entitled to receive up to $225.0 million in development milestone payments and up to $550.0 million in sales-based milestone payments for all designated targets under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement, as well as tiered royalties based on sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received payments totaling $3.5 million, which was included in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021, for an additional target and additional services which are being recognized as revenue over the total period of performance. There were no sales-based milestone payments or royalties received as of September 30, 2022.
Genentech Modification
In November 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Option, License, and Collaboration Agreement (the “Genentech Modification”) with Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd. (together "Genentech"), amending a previous Genentech agreement. Under the Genentech Modification, the Company received additional upfront, non-refundable payments of $34.5 million (in addition to $11.0 million received under the previous agreement) to fund Genentech-related research. Under the Genentech Modification, Genentech has the right to designate up to ten targets. The Company is eligible to receive up to $27.5 million in additional expansion target payments if Genentech exercises its options on all remaining targets. Upfront non-refundable payments are recognized as revenue over the total estimated period of performance.
The Company is eligible to receive up to $44.0 million per target in development milestone payments, $52.5 million in regulatory milestone payments and $60.0 million in commercial milestone payments based on sales as well as tiered royalties based on sales. There were no development, regulatory or commercial milestone payments or royalties received as of September 30, 2022.

6. Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate ranges from 3.0% - 4.1%. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company includes these options in the recognition of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
In May 2021, the Company entered into a lease, which was amended in August 2022, for approximately 160,000 square feet of laboratory and office space to be occupied in 2024. In connection with the signing of the lease and the related amendment, and at the Company’s election to increase the landlord’s contribution to the tenant improvement allowance, the Company issued a letter of credit for $5.5 million, collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the same amount, which is presented as restricted cash as of September 30, 2022. Once occupied, the base rent will range from $7.7 million to $8.8 million annually over a ten-year lease term.
The Company has operating leases for its corporate office, laboratories and certain equipment, which expire no later than January 2026. The leases have a weighted average remaining term of 2.2 years.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

The Company borrowed $2.0 million under the 2018 Assistance Agreement in September 2018, of which $1.0 million was forgiven upon meeting certain employment conditions. Borrowings under the agreement bear an interest rate of 3.25% per annum, with interest-only payments required for the first 60 months, and mature in September 2028. The 2018 Assistance Agreement requires that the Company be located in the State of Connecticut through 2028, with a default penalty of repayment of the full original funding amount of $2.0 million plus liquidated damages of 7.5% of the total amount of funding received. As of September 30, 2022, $1.0 million remains outstanding under the 2018 Assistance Agreement.
In connection with an Assistance Agreement with the State of Connecticut entered into in 2014 under which all the borrowings by the Company were forgiven, the Company is required to be located in the State of Connecticut through January 2024, with a default penalty of repayment of the full original funding amount of $2.5 million plus liquidated damages of 7.5%.

9. Equity
Equity Distribution Agreements
In August 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Company (“Piper Sandler”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), as agents, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time, through the agents, up to $300.0 million of the common stock registered under the Company's universal shelf registration statement pursuant to one or more “at-the-market" offering. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no shares were issued under this agreement.
Share-based Compensation
2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2018 ESPP”), with the first offering period under the 2018 ESPP commencing on January 1, 2020, by initially providing participating employees with the opportunity to purchase an aggregate of 311,850 shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 ESPP increase, pursuant to the terms of the 2018 ESPP, by additional shares equal to 1% of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock, effective as of January 1 of each year. As of September 30, 2022, 1,986,565 shares remained available for purchase. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 24,898 and 19,357 shares, respectively, of common stock under the 2018 ESPP.
Incentive Share Plan
In the Fourth Amendment to the Company’s Incentive Share Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) adopted in March 2018, the Company was authorized to issue up to an aggregate of 6,199,477 incentive units pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan. Generally, incentive units were granted at no less than fair value as determined by the board of managers and had vesting periods ranging from one to four years. The Incentive Plan was terminated in September 2018.
2018 Stock Incentive Plan
In September 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which became effective upon the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 for the Company’s initial public offering. The number of common shares initially available for issuance under the 2018 Plan equaled the sum of (1) 4,067,007 shares of common stock; plus (2) the number of shares of common stock (up to 1,277,181) issued in respect of incentive units granted under the Incentive Plan that were subject to vesting immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement expired, terminated or were otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right; plus (3) an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and continuing to, and including, the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, equal to the lesser of 4,989,593 shares of the Company’s common stock, 4% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the
12
first day of the year or an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2022, 2,268,813 shares remained available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Common shares subject to outstanding equity awards that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or canceled without having been fully exercised or are forfeited in whole or in part are available for future grants of awards.
Compensation Expense
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized compensation expense of $18.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively, relating to the issuance of incentive awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized compensation expense of $55.4 million and $40.1 million, respectively, relating to the issuance of incentive awards.
As of September 30, 2022, there was $76.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense that is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately two years.
Stock Options
The fair value of the stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
 September 30,
2022		September 30,
2021
Expected volatility
73.2 - 76.0%
74.8 - 78.0%
Expected term (years)

5.3 - 7.0
Risk free interest rate
1.5% - 3.3%
0.5% - 1.2%
Expected dividend yield0 %0 %
Exercise price
$36.79 - $78.91
$66.82 - $100.40
Given the Company’s common stock has not been trading for a sufficient period of time, the Company calculates volatility of its common stock by utilizing a weighted average of a collection of peer company volatilities and its own common stock volatility. The expected term is calculated utilizing the simplified method.
A summary of the stock option activity under the 2018 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is presented below. These amounts include stock options granted to employees and directors.

10. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $2.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (3.4)%, as compared to income tax expense of zero resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in the same period for 2021. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of (3.4)% was the effect of equity compensation, generation of research and development tax credits, deferred state income taxes and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of 0.0% was the effect of equity compensation and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $10.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (5.3)%, as compared to income tax expense of zero resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in the same period for 2021. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of (5.3)% was the effect of equity compensation, generation of research and development tax credits,
14
deferred state income taxes and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory rate of 21.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the Company’s overall effective tax rate of 0.00% was the effect of equity compensation and the valuation allowance recorded against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets.
A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. The Company is projecting taxable income for the current year, and as a result projects current income tax expense for the year. The projection of taxable income is primarily due to revenue recognition for tax purposes from the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and the capitalization of qualified research and development expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2022, which upon recognition for tax purposes would create additional deferred tax assets. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, qualified research expenses incurred after 2021 are no longer immediately deductible for tax purposes and instead must be amortized over at least five years for tax purposes. The Company continues to establish a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that benefits will not be realized, including those benefits created in the current year. This assessment is based on the Company's historical cumulative losses which provide strong objective evidence that cannot be overcome with projections of income, as well as the fact the Company expects continuing losses in the future.
11. Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted loss per common share was calculated as follows:

12. Equity Method Investments
In July 2019, the Company and Bayer CropScience LP (“Bayer LP”) formed a joint venture, Oerth Bio LLC (“Oerth”), to research, develop and commercialize PROTAC targeted protein degraders for applications in the field of agriculture. As Oerth is jointly controlled by the Company and Bayer LP, the Company accounts for its 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company also provides to Oerth compensated research and development services and administrative services through a separate agreement. The services
15
rendered by the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.
Operating expenses and net loss of Oerth for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $6.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Operating expenses and net loss of Oerth for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $16.3 million and $9.5 million, respectively.
The carrying value of the investment has been reduced to zero and, as a result, no additional losses were recorded against the carrying value of the investment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and that such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2022, the Company does not believe there are any such matters where there is at least a reasonable probability that a material loss, if any, has been or will be incurred.
Clinical and Preclinical Development and Licensing Arrangements
From time to time, the Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business with various third parties who support its clinical trials, preclinical research studies, and other services related to its development activities. The scope of the services under these agreements can generally be modified at any time, and the agreement can be terminated by either party after a period of notice and receipt of written notice.
In addition, under licensing and related arrangements to which we are a party, we may be obligated to make milestone payments to third parties. The payment obligations under these arrangements are contingent upon future events, such as achievement of specified milestones or generation of product sales, and the amount, timing and likelihood of such payments are not known.
FMI Agreement
On June 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Master In Vitro Diagnostics Agreement, effective as of June 4, 2022 with Foundation Medicine, Inc. (the "FMI Agreement") for the development and commercialization of one or more of Foundation Medicine’s companion in vitro diagnostic assays for use with one or more of the Company's therapeutic products.
Bavdegalutamide
In exchange for the development of FoundationOne® Liquid CDx as a companion diagnostic for use with bavdegalutamide for AR mCRPC in the United States and European Union, pursuant to the terms of the FMI Agreement, the Company is subject to success-based milestone payments of up to low to mid tens of millions of dollars, in addition to certain validation fees per sample and related pass-through costs.
ARV-766
In exchange for the development of FoundationOne® Liquid CDx as a companion diagnostic for use with ARV-766 for AR mCRPC in the United States and European Union, pursuant to the terms of the FMI Agreement, the Company is subject to success-based milestone payments of up to low tens of millions of dollars in addition to certain validation fees per sample and related pass-through costs.
The FMI Agreement does not have a fixed duration, and the Company may terminate the FMI Agreement for convenience by providing adequate written notice to Foundation Medicine, subject to payment of applicable termination fees. Either party may terminate the FMI Agreement in its entirety for an uncured material breach by the other party, upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party or by the mutual written agreement of both parties. Additionally, Foundation Medicine may terminate the FMI Agreement with respect to
16
an applicable program, if (a) a reasonably necessary third party license is not secured by Foundation Medicine or if we do not consent to payments for such license (b) Foundation Medicine reasonably determines that further development of the applicable assay is not technically feasible or (c) following a certain number of years after the first commercial launch of the applicable assay for use with the applicable therapeutic product. Certain license and other rights and certain obligations of Foundation Medicine survive termination of the FMI Agreement. If the FMI Agreement is terminated in its entirety or with respect to any program, the Company has certain payment obligations remaining to Foundation Medicine and may also be required to pay a termination fee, if applicable.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis is meant to provide material information relevant to an assessment of the financial condition and results of operations of our company, including an evaluation of the amount and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources, so as to allow investors to better view our company from management’s perspective. You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 28, 2022. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 28, 2022 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our Business
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery, development and commercialization of therapies to degrade disease-causing proteins. We use our PROTAC Discovery Engine, our proprietary technology platform to engineer proteolysis targeting chimeras, or PROTAC targeted protein degraders, that are designed to harness the body’s own natural protein disposal system to selectively remove disease-causing proteins. We believe that our targeted protein degradation approach is a therapeutic modality that may provide distinct advantages over existing modalities, including traditional small molecule therapies and gene-based medicines. Our small molecule PROTAC technology has the potential to address a broad range of intracellular disease targets, including those representing up to the 80% of proteins that currently cannot be addressed by existing small molecule therapies, commonly referred to as “undruggable” targets. We are using our PROTAC Discovery Engine to build an extensive pipeline of protein degradation product candidates to target diseases in oncology (including immuno-oncology), neuroscience, and other therapeutic areas. Our three lead product candidates are bavdegalutamide (ARV-110), ARV-471, and ARV-766.
Bavdegalutamide (ARV-110)
We are developing bavdegalutamide, an investigational orally bioavailable PROTAC protein degrader targeting the androgen receptor protein, or AR, for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC. In 2019, we initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of bavdegalutamide designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bavdegalutamide, which also includes measures of anti-tumor activity as secondary endpoints, including reduction in prostate specific antigen, or PSA, a well-recognized biomarker of prostate cancer progression. We received fast track designation for bavdegalutamide for mCRPC in May 2019. We have completed dose escalation in the Phase 1 clinical trial. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we initiated ARDENT, the Phase 2 single agent expansion portion of the bavdegalutamide clinical trial. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we initiated a Phase 1b clinical trial with bavdegalutamide in combination with abiraterone for the treatment of men with mCRPC.
In the first half of 2023, we plan to confirm the final dose selection and secure final health authority feedback for a global Phase 3 trial protocol and, in the second half of 2023, initiate a global Phase 3 trial in mCRPC for patients with AR T878/H875 tumor mutations. Also in the second half of 2023, we expect to complete enrollment in the Phase 1b clinical trial with bavdegalutamide in combination with abiraterone.
ARV-471
We are developing ARV-471, an investigational orally bioavailable PROTAC protein degrader targeting the estrogen receptor protein, or ER, for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic ER positive / HER2 negative breast cancer. In 2019, we initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ARV-471 designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ARV-471, which also includes measures of anti-tumor
18
activity as secondary endpoints. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we initiated a Phase 1b cohort expansion of ARV-471 in combination with Ibrance® (palbociclib). We have completed dose escalation in the Phase 1 clinical trial. In the first quarter of 2021, we initiated VERITAC, the Phase 2 single agent expansion cohort of the clinical trial. In July 2021, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Pfizer Inc., or Pfizer, pursuant to which we granted Pfizer worldwide coexclusive rights to develop and commercialize ARV-471. In the third quarter of 2022, we initiated TACTIVE-E, a Phase 1b clinical trial with ARV-471 in combination with everolimus in patients with metastatic breast cancer; initiated with Pfizer activities that will enable dosing in TACTIVE-U, a Phase 1b umbrella trial combination trial, with the cyclin-dependent kinase, or CDK, inhibitors abemaciclib and ribociclib in two of the combination arms in the fourth quarter of 2022; initiated with Pfizer a Phase 1b trial with ARV-471 as a monotherapy in Japanese patients; and initiated activity that will enable dosing for TACTIVE-N, a Phase 2 clinical trial with ARV-471 as a monotherapy in patients with early breast cancer in the neoadjuvant setting in the fourth quarter of 2022.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, we plan to present data from the VERITAC Phase 2 dose expansion cohort (with patients dosed at 200 mg and 500 mg). Also in the fourth quarter of 2022, in partnership with Pfizer, we plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial with ARV-471 in combination with palbociclib as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic breast cancer and initiate a Phase 3 trial with ARV-471 as a second-line treatment in patients with metastatic breast cancer. In 2023, we plan, with Pfizer, to initiate additional arms of the Phase 1b combination trial TACTIVE-U of ARV-471 with other targeted therapies. In the first half of 2023, we plan to present data from the Phase 1b combination trial of ARV-471 with palbociclib at a medical conference.
ARV-766
We are developing ARV-766, an investigational orally bioavailable PROTAC protein degrader for the treatment of men with mCRPC. In preclinical studies, ARV-766 degraded all tested resistance-driving point mutations of AR, including L702H, a mutation associated with treatment with abiraterone and other AR-pathway therapies, which bavdegalutamide did not degrade in preclinical studies. In 2021, we initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ARV-766 designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ARV-766, which also includes measures of anti-tumor activity as secondary endpoints, including reduction in PSA. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we initiated the Phase 2 expansion portion of the clinical trial at two dose levels.
In the second quarter of 2023, we plan to present Phase 1 dose escalation data.
Bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766 have all demonstrated potent and selective protein degradation in our preclinical studies. We believe that favorable clinical trial results in these initial oncology programs would provide validation of our platform as a new therapeutic modality for the potential treatment of diseases caused by dysregulated intracellular proteins regardless of therapeutic area.
We plan to submit two investigational new drug (IND)/clinical trial authorization (CTA) applications, one in neurology and one in oncology, by the end of 2023, with at least two additional programs in IND- or CTA-enabling studies.
Our Operations
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations and in the markets they serve. We have instated some and may take additional precautionary measures intended to help ensure our employees’ well-being and minimize business disruption. We temporarily shut down our laboratories in mid-March 2020 and initiated work with biology contract research organizations, or CROs, but have since reopened our laboratories and our office-based employees are working in a hybrid of remote and in-person work. We considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on our results of operations and financial position as of September 30, 2022. The full extent of the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations remains uncertain and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and business operations, including the timing and our ability to complete certain clinical trials and other efforts required to advance our preclinical pipeline.
We commenced operations in 2013. Our operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, conducting discovery and research activities, filing patent applications, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials and establishing arrangements with third parties for the manufacture of initial quantities of our product candidates.
19
To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity interests, proceeds from our collaborations, grant funding and debt financing. Since inception through September 30, 2022, we raised approximately $1.3 billion in gross proceeds from the sale of equity instruments and the exercise of stock options and had received an aggregate of $780.5 million in payments primarily from collaboration partners.
We are a clinical-stage company. Bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766 are each in Phase 1/2 clinical trials and our other drug discovery activities are at the research and preclinical development stages. Our ability to generate revenue from product sales sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. Our net loss was $199.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $882.5 million.
Our total operating expenses were $281.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially due to costs associated with our ongoing and anticipated clinical activities for bavdegalutamide, ARV-471, and ARV-766, development activities associated with our other product candidates, research activities in oncology, neurological and other disease areas to expand our pipeline, hiring additional personnel in research, clinical trials, quality and other functional areas, increased expenses incurred with contract manufacturing organizations, or CMOs, to supply us with product for our preclinical and clinical studies and CROs for the synthesis of compounds in our preclinical development activities, as well as other associated costs including the management of our intellectual property portfolio.
We do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any product for many years, if ever. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research or product development programs or any future commercialization efforts, or to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
Financial Operations Overview
Revenue
To date, we have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the foreseeable future. Our revenues to date have been generated through research collaboration and license agreements. Revenue is recognized ratably over our expected performance period under each agreement. We expect that any revenue for the next several years will be derived primarily from our current collaboration agreements and any additional collaborations that we may enter into in the future. To date, we have not received any sales-based milestone payments or royalties under any of the collaboration agreements.
Genentech License Agreement
In September 2015, we entered into an Option and License Agreement with Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, collectively referred to as Genentech, focused on PROTAC targeted protein degrader discovery and research for target proteins, or Targets, based on our proprietary platform technology, other than excluded Targets as described below. This collaboration was expanded in November 2017 through an Amended and Restated Option, License and Collaboration Agreement, which we refer to as the Restated Genentech Agreement.
Under the Restated Genentech Agreement, Genentech has the right to designate up to ten Targets for further discovery and research utilizing our PROTAC platform technology. Genentech may designate as a Target any protein to which a PROTAC targeted protein degrader, by design, binds to achieve its mechanism of action, subject to certain exclusions. Genentech also has the right to remove a Target from the collaboration and substitute a different Target that is not an excluded Target at any time prior to us commencing research on such Target or in certain circumstances following commencement of research by us.
20
At the time we entered into the original agreement with Genentech we received an upfront payment of $11.0 million, and at the time we entered into the Restated Genentech Agreement, we received an additional $34.5 million in upfront and expansion target payments. We are eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $27.5 million in additional expansion target payments if Genentech exercises its options for all remaining Targets. We are also eligible to receive payments aggregating up to $44.0 million per Target upon the achievement of specified development milestones; payments aggregating up to $52.5 million per Target (assuming approval of two indications) subject to the achievement of specified regulatory milestones; and payments aggregating up to $60.0 million per PROTAC targeted protein degrader directed against the applicable Target, subject to the achievement of specified sales milestones. These milestone payments are subject to reduction if we do not have a valid patent claim covering the licensed PROTAC targeted protein degrader at the time the milestone is achieved. We are also eligible to receive, on net sales of licensed PROTAC targeted protein degraders, mid-single digit royalties, which may be subject to reductions.
Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement
In December 2017, we entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Pfizer, setting forth our collaboration to identify or optimize PROTAC targeted protein degraders that mediate for degradation of Targets, using our proprietary platform technology that are identified in the agreement or subsequently selected by Pfizer, subject to certain exclusions. We refer to this agreement as the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement.
Under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement, Pfizer has designated a number of initial Targets. For each identified Target, we and Pfizer will conduct a separate research program pursuant to a research plan. Pfizer may make substitutions for any of the initial Target candidates, subject to the stage of research for such Target.
In the year ended December 31, 2018, we received an upfront non-refundable payment and certain additional payments totaling $28.0 million in exchange for use of our technology license and to fund Pfizer-related research as defined within the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement. We are eligible to receive up to an additional $37.5 million in non-refundable option payments if Pfizer exercises its options for all targets under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement. We are also entitled to receive up to $225.0 million in development milestone payments and up to $550.0 million in sales-based milestone payments for all designated targets under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement, as well as mid- to high-single digit tiered royalties, which may be subject to reductions, on net sales of PROTAC targeted protein degrader-related products. We received payments totaling $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $1.2 million and $4.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for additional targets and services.
Bayer Collaboration Agreement
In June 2019, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement, or the Bayer Collaboration Agreement, with Bayer AG, or, together with its controlled affiliates, Bayer, setting forth our collaboration to identify or optimize PROTAC targeted protein degraders that mediate for degradation of Targets, using our proprietary platform technology, that are selected by Bayer, subject to certain exclusions and limitations. The Bayer Collaboration Agreement became effective in July 2019.
Under the Bayer Collaboration Agreement, we and Bayer conduct a research program pursuant to separate research plans mutually agreed to by us and Bayer and tailored to each Target selected by Bayer. Bayer may make substitutions for any such initial Target candidates, subject to certain conditions and based on the stage of research for such Target. During the term of the Bayer Collaboration Agreement, we are not permitted, either directly or indirectly, to design, identify, discover or develop any small molecule pharmacologically-active agent whose primary mechanism of action is, by design, directed to the inhibition or degradation of any Target selected or reserved by Bayer, or grant any license, covenant not to sue or other right to any third party in the field of human disease under the licensed intellectual property for the conduct of such activities.
Under the terms of the Bayer Collaboration Agreement, we received an aggregate upfront non-refundable payment of $17.5 million. Bayer is committed to fund a total of $12.0 million in research funding
21
payments through 2023, of which $10.5 million was received from inception through September 30, 2022, subject to potential increases if our costs for research activities exceed the research funding payments allocated to a Target and certain conditions are met. We are also eligible to receive up to $197.5 million in development milestone payments and up to $490.0 million in sales-based milestone payments for all designated Targets. In addition, we are eligible to receive, on net sales of PROTAC targeted protein degrader-related products, mid-single digit to low-double digit tiered royalties, which may be subject to reductions.
Pfizer ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement
In July 2021, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Pfizer, or the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, pursuant to which we granted Pfizer worldwide co-exclusive rights to develop and commercialize products containing our proprietary compound ARV-471, or the Licensed Products.
Under the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, we received an upfront, non-refundable payment of $650.0 million. In addition, we are eligible to receive up to an additional $1.4 billion in contingent payments based on specified regulatory and sales-based milestones for the Licensed Products. Of the total contingent payments, $400 million in regulatory milestones are related to marketing approvals and $1.0 billion are related to sales-based milestones.
We and Pfizer share equally (50/50) all development costs (including costs for conducting any clinical trials) for the Licensed Products, subject to certain exceptions. Except for certain regions described below, we will also share equally (50/50) all profits and losses in commercialization and medical affairs activities for the Licensed Products in all other countries, subject to certain exceptions.
We will be the marketing authorization holder and, subject to marketing approval, book sales in the United States, while Pfizer will hold marketing authorizations outside the United States. We will determine with Pfizer which, if any, regions within the world will be solely commercialized by one party, and in such region the parties will adjust their share of all profits and losses for the Licensed Products based on the role each party will be performing.
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement will expire on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis when such Licensed Products are no longer commercialized or developed for commercialization in such country. Pfizer may terminate the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement for convenience in its entirety or on a region-by-region basis subject to certain notice periods. Either party may terminate the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency. Subject to applicable terms of the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, including certain payments to Pfizer upon termination for our uncured material breach, effective upon termination of the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement, we are entitled to retain specified licenses to be able to continue to exploit the Licensed Products.
Subject to specified exceptions, we and Pfizer have each agreed not to directly or indirectly research, develop, or commercialize any competing products outside of the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement anywhere in the world during the term of the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses since inception have consisted solely of research and development costs and general and administrative costs.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research activities, including our discovery efforts, and the development of our product candidates, and include:
•salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for personnel engaged in research and development functions;
22
•expenses incurred under agreements with third parties, including CROs and other third parties that conduct research and preclinical activities on our behalf as well as third parties that manufacture our product candidates for use in our preclinical studies and clinical trials;
•costs of outside consultants, including their fees, stock-based compensation and related travel expenses;
•the costs of laboratory supplies and developing preclinical studies and clinical trial materials;
•facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs of equipment and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs; and
•third-party licensing fees.
We expense research and development costs as incurred.
We typically use our employee and infrastructure resources across our development programs, and as such, do not track all of our internal research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses for our AR program, which includes bavdegalutamide and ARV-766, ER program, which includes ARV-471, and all other platform and exploratory research and development costs:
 For the Three Months Ended
September 30,
For the Nine Months Ended
September 30,
(in millions)2022202120222021
AR program development costs$13.4 $10.6 $40.7 $30.5 
ER program development costs16.1 4.3 51.1 15.9 
Other research and development costs48.0 25.7 124.9 72.1 
Total research and development costs$77.5 $40.6 $216.7 $118.5 
Research and development activities are central to our business model. We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we conduct clinical trials for bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766, including our ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials for bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766 and continue to discover and develop additional product candidates. Research and development expenses related to ARV-471 are shared equally with Pfizer from July 22, 2021, the effective date of the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement. The ER program development costs in the table above reflect the cost sharing with Pfizer.
We cannot reasonably estimate or determine with certainty the duration and costs of future clinical trials of bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766 or any other product candidate we may develop or if, when, or to what extent we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval. We may never succeed in obtaining marketing approval for any product candidate. The successful development and commercialization of our product candidates is highly uncertain. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including the uncertainty of:
•successful completion of preclinical studies;
•successful initiation of clinical trials;
•successful patient enrollment in and completion of clinical trials;
•receipt and related terms of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;
•obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates;
23
•making arrangements with third-party manufacturers, or establishing manufacturing capabilities, for both clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates;
•establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities and launching commercial sales of our products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others;
•acceptance of our products, if and when approved, by patients, the medical community and third-party payors;
•obtaining and maintaining third-party coverage and adequate reimbursement;
•maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile of the products following approval; and
•effectively competing with other therapies.
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that product candidate. For example, if the FDA or another regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we anticipate will be required for the completion of clinical development of a product candidate, or if we experience significant delays in our clinical trials due to patient enrollment or other reasons, we would be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation for personnel in our executive, finance, business development and administrative functions. General and administrative expenses also include legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters; professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and consulting services; insurance costs; travel expenses; and facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our personnel headcount to support increased research and development activities relating to our product candidates. We also expect to incur increased expenses associated with being a public company, including costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements; director and officer insurance costs; and investor and public relations costs.
Income Taxes
Since our inception in 2013, we have not recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax benefits for the net losses we have incurred in any year or for our federal or state earned research and development tax credits, due to our uncertainty of realizing a benefit from those items. As of December 31, 2021, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $373.6 million, which begin to expire in 2033, state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $346.9 million, and federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $15.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2033 and 2036, respectively. We expect to fully utilize these net operating loss and credit carryforwards in the current year due to taxable income resulting from revenue recognition for tax purposes from our ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and the capitalization of qualified research and development expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2022. The revenue recognition and capitalization of research expenses are timing differences for tax purposes and deferred tax assets were established. We have provided a valuation allowance against the full amount of the deferred tax assets since, in the opinion of management, based upon our earnings history, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.
As of September 30, 2022, Arvinas, Inc. had four wholly-owned subsidiaries organized as C-corporations: Arvinas Operations, Inc., Arvinas Androgen Receptor, Inc., Arvinas Estrogen Receptor, Inc., and Arvinas Winchester, Inc. Prior to December 31, 2018, these subsidiaries were separate filers for federal tax purposes.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2022.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $30.3 million, as compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $21.0 million was primarily due to revenue from the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer entered into during the third quarter of 2021.
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $85.8 million, as compared to $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $65.4 million was primarily due to revenue from the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer entered into during the third quarter of 2021.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $77.5 million, compared with $40.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $36.9 million was primarily due to an increase in our continued investment in our platform and exploratory programs of $22.3 million as well as increases in expenses related to our AR and ER programs of $2.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The increase in spending over all of our programs was primarily due to increased clinical trial costs and related drug manufacturing costs of $14.3 million as we expanded our AR and ER programs into additional clinical studies. Direct expenses related to our platform and exploratory targets increased by $10.7 million as we continued to expand the number of protein targets in the exploratory and lead optimization phases and continued to make investments into our platform discovery efforts. Personnel related costs also increased by $10.5 million, inclusive of $2.8 million of stock compensation expense.
25
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $216.7 million, compared with $118.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $98.2 million was primarily due to an increase in our continued investment in our platform and exploratory programs of $52.8 million as well as increases in expenses related to our AR and ER programs of $10.2 million and $35.2 million, respectively. The increase in spending over all of our programs was primarily due to clinical trial costs and related drug manufacturing costs of $45.7 million as we expanded our AR and ER programs into additional clinical studies. Personnel related costs increased by $30.3 million, inclusive of $9.7 million of stock compensation expense. Direct expenses related to our platform and exploratory targets also increased by $20.5 million as we continued to expand the number of protein targets in the exploratory and lead optimization phases and continued to make investments into our platform discovery efforts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses totaled $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $4.0 million was primarily due to an increase of personnel related costs of $2.9 million and professional fees of $2.1 million.
General and administrative expenses totaled $64.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $42.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $21.7 million was primarily due to an increase of personnel related costs of $9.7 million, stock compensation expense of $3.8 million, and insurance, taxes and professional fees of $7.7 million.
Other Income
Other income totaled $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $2.7 million was primarily due to higher interest income of $3.1 million from higher interest rates, offset in part by higher realized losses on our marketable securities of $0.3 million and lower refundable research and development credits from the State of Connecticut of $0.3 million, as we are no longer eligible to receive a cash refund for the research and development credits in the State of Connecticut.
Other income totaled $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of $3.0 million was primarily due to higher interest income of $5.1 million from higher investment balances and higher interest rates, offset in part by forgiveness of debt of $1.0 million in 2021 equal to 50% of the then outstanding loan balance, related to the State of Connecticut loan upon our satisfaction of certain jobs criteria, higher realized losses on our marketable securities of $0.4 million and lower refundable research and development credits from the State of Connecticut of $0.8 million, as we are no longer eligible to receive a cash refund for the research and development credits in the State of Connecticut.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared with zero for the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to current income taxes resulting from revenue recognition for tax purposes from our ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and the capitalization of research and development expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2022.
Income tax expense totaled $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to current income taxes resulting from revenue recognition for tax purposes from our ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and the capitalization of research and development expenses incurred on or after January 1, 2022. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, qualified research expenses incurred after 2021 are no longer immediately deductible for tax purposes and instead must be amortized over 5 years for tax purposes. As a result of these items, we expect to fully utilize our federal net operating loss and credit carryforwards in the current year, resulting in current income tax expense for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We do not currently have any approved products and have never generated any revenue from product sales. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity interests and through payments from collaboration partners, grant funding and loans from the State of Connecticut. Since inception through September 30, 2022, we had received an aggregate of $780.5 million in payments from collaboration partners, grant funding and forgivable and partially forgivable loans from the State of Connecticut, and raised approximately $1.3 billion in gross proceeds from the sale of equity interests and the exercise of stock options, including:
•October 2018: our initial public offering in which we issued an aggregate of 7,700,482 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $123.2 million before fees and expenses;
•July 2019: the sale of 1,346,313 shares of common stock to Bayer AG for aggregate gross proceeds of $32.5 million;
•November 2019: completion of a follow-on offering in which we issued 5,227,273 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $115.0 million before fees and expenses;
•September – December 2020: sale of 2,593,637 shares of common stock in an “at-the-market offering” for aggregate gross proceeds of $65.6 million before fees and expenses;
•December 2020: completion of a follow-on offering in which we issued 6,571,428 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $460.0 million before fees and expenses; and
•September 2021: issuance of 3,457,815 shares of common stock to Pfizer for aggregate gross proceeds of $350.0 million.
In May 2021, we entered into a lease, which was amended in August 2022, for approximately 160,000 square feet of laboratory and office space to be occupied in 2024. In connection with the signing of the lease and the related amendment, and at our election to increase the landlord’s contribution to the tenant improvement allowance, we issued a letter of credit for $5.5 million, collateralized by a certificate of deposit in the same amount. Once occupied, the base rent will range from $7.7 million to $8.8 million annually over a ten-year lease term.
In August 2021, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Sandler & Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time, through the agents, up to $300.0 million of the common stock registered under our universal shelf registration statement pursuant to one or more “at-the-market" offering. As of September 30, 2022, no shares have been issued under this agreement.
Cash Flows
Our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2022 and $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2021. We had an outstanding loan balance of $1.0 million as of each of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$25.3 $(328.2)
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $202.3 million, primarily due to our net loss of $199.6 million, a reduction in deferred revenue of $82.8 million and a net reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $5.0 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $69.7 million and a decrease in accounts and other receivables of $18.9 million. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock compensation expense of $55.4 million, net accretion of bond discounts/premiums of $6.5 million, and depreciation and amortization of $4.6 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $595.1 million, primarily due to an increase in deferred revenue of $718.3 million driven largely by the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and non-cash charges of $48.8 million, partially offset by our net loss of $138.0 million, an increase in prepaid expenses related in part to clinical trials and drug manufacturing contracts of $12.4 million, the payment to obtain a contract of $12.9 million related to the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and a net reduction in accrued expenses and accounts payable of $7.6 million. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock compensation expense of $40.1 million, net accretion of bond discounts/premiums of $5.2 million and depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $223.4 million, attributable to sales and maturities of marketable securities in excess of purchases of $229.1 million, offset by purchases of property and equipment of $5.7 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $1,198.0 million, attributable to purchases of marketable securities in excess of the maturities of marketable securities of $1,202.4 million due in part to funds received as part of the ARV-471 Collaboration Agreement and purchases of property and equipment of $2.8 million, offset by sales of marketable securities of $7.2 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $4.2 million, attributable to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $274.7 million, attributable to the proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock to Pfizer of $259.9 million (after allocation of a portion of the proceeds to deferred revenue), net of expenses, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $14.8 million.
Funding Requirements
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the preclinical
28
and clinical development of our product candidates. In addition, we expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company.
Specifically, we anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if, and as we:
•continue a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of our product candidate bavdegalutamide and a Phase 1b clinical trial of bavdegalutamide in combination with abiraterone for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC, and initiate one or more additional Phase 1b clinical expansions of bavdegalutamide in combination with standard of care agents, in men with mCRPC;
•continue a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of our product candidate ARV-471 and a Phase 1b clinical trial of ARV-471 in combination with palbociclib, and initiate an additional Phase 1b cohort expansion in combination with a standard of care agent, each in patients with locally advanced or metastatic ER positive / HER2 negative breast cancer and initiate a window of opportunity study in early breast cancer;
•continue a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of our product candidate ARV-766 in men with mCRPC;
•conduct later stage clinical trials of bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 or ARV-766;
•apply our PROTAC Discovery Engine to advance additional product candidates into preclinical and clinical development;
•expand the capabilities of our PROTAC Discovery Engine;
•seek marketing approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;
•ultimately establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure and scale up external manufacturing capabilities to commercialize any products for which we may obtain marketing approval;
•expand, maintain and protect our intellectual property portfolio;
•hire additional development, including clinical and regulatory, and scientific personnel; and
•add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel to support our research, product development and future commercialization efforts and support our operations as a public company.
We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaling $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2022. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities as of September 30, 2022 will enable us to fund our planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements multiple additional years beyond 2024. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•the progress, costs and results of our ongoing clinical trials for bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766 and any future clinical development of bavdegalutamide, ARV-471 and ARV-766;
•the scope, progress, costs and results of preclinical and clinical development for our other product candidates and development programs;
•the number of, and development requirements for, other product candidates that we pursue, including our other oncology and neurodegenerative research programs;
•the success of our collaborations with Pfizer, Genentech and Bayer;
•the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;
•the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;
29
•the revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;
•the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending any intellectual property-related claims; and
•our ability to establish additional collaboration arrangements with other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies on favorable terms, if at all, for the development or commercialization of our product candidates.
As a result of these anticipated expenditures, we will need to obtain substantial additional financing in connection with our continuing operations. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements. Although we may receive potential future payments under our collaborations with Pfizer, Genentech and Bayer, we do not currently have any committed external source of funds. Adequate additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research, product development programs or any future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
Borrowings
In January 2014, we entered into an Assistance Agreement with the State of Connecticut, or the 2014 Assistance Agreement, under which we borrowed $2.5 million. Borrowings under the 2014 Assistance Agreement were forgivable if we maintained a minimum number of full-time jobs in the State of Connecticut for a minimum period at a minimum annual salary. Effective in March 2016, the full principal amount under the 2014 Assistance Agreement had been forgiven. While borrowings under the 2014 Assistance Agreement have been forgiven, we remain subject to an ongoing covenant to be located in the State of Connecticut through January 2024. Upon violation of this covenant, we would be required to repay the full original funding amount of $2.5 million plus liquidated damages of 7.50%.
In June 2018, we entered into an additional Assistance Agreement with the State of Connecticut, or the 2018 Assistance Agreement, to provide funding for the expansion and renovation of laboratory and office space. We borrowed $2.0 million under the 2018 Assistance Agreement in September 2018, of which $1.0 million was forgiven upon meeting certain employment conditions. Borrowings under the agreement bear an interest rate of 3.25% per annum, with interest only payments required for the first 60 months, and mature in September 2028. The 2018 Assistance Agreement requires that we be located in the State of Connecticut through 2028 with a default penalty of repayment of the full original funding amount of $2.0 million plus liquidated damages of 7.5% of the total amount of funding received. As of September 30, 2022, $1.0 million remains outstanding under the 2018 Assistance Agreement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities. Our interest-earning assets consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and
30
marketable securities. Interest income earned on these assets totaled $6.3 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates, primarily U.S. interest rates. As of September 30, 2022, our cash equivalents consisted of bank deposits and money market funds, and our marketable securities included interest-earning securities. Our outstanding debt totaled $1.0 million as of each of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2022 carries a fixed interest rate of 3.25% per annum.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. In the future, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the those risks and uncertainties discussed in “Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 together with all of the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The risk factor disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 is qualified by the information that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 actually occur, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could suffer materially. In such event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
We did not issue any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
