DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	6 Months Ended
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	Jun. 30, 2020
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Pacira BioSciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Pacira”) is a leading provider of non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions to advance and improve outcomes for health care practitioners and their patients. The Company’s long-acting, local analgesic, EXPAREL^® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), was commercially launched in the United States in April 2012. EXPAREL utilizes DepoFoam^®, a unique and proprietary delivery technology that encapsulates drugs without altering their molecular structure, and releases them over a desired period of time. In April 2019, the Company added iovera°^® to its commercial offering with the acquisition of MyoScience, Inc., or MyoScience. The iovera° system is a handheld cryoanalgesia device used to deliver a precise, controlled application of cold temperature to only targeted nerves. Pacira is subject to risks common to companies in similar industries and stages, including, but not limited to, competition from larger companies, reliance on revenue from two products, reliance on a limited number of manufacturing sites, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third-party service providers and sole source suppliers, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and risks related to cybersecurity. For information on the Company’s risks related to the ongoing worldwide novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors”, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company is managed and operated as a single business focused on the discovery, development, manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions. The Company is managed by a single management team, and consistent with its organizational structure, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman manages and allocates resources at a consolidated level. Accordingly, the Company views its business as one reportable segment to evaluate performance, allocate resources, set operational targets and forecast its future financial results. Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic During the second quarter of 2020, the Company’s net product sales were negatively impacted by the global pandemic caused by a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19), which mandated significant postponement or suspension in the scheduling of elective surgical procedures resulting from public health guidance and government directives. Elective surgery restrictions began to lift on a state-by-state basis in April 2020; however, the Company does not know how long other states will mandate stay at home orders, how long it will take the surgical community to return to normal operations or if states will return to placing restrictions on elective surgical procedures. The Company’s manufacturing sites are operational and have implemented new safety protocols and guidelines as recommended by federal, state and local governments. To date, there have been no material impacts to the Company’s supply chain. The situation remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material changes. Additional negative impacts may also arise from the COVID-19 pandemic that the Company is unable to foresee. The nature and extent of such impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

There was no change in the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The balance at both December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 was $99.5 million.

Skyepharma Acquisition

In March 2007, the Company acquired from SkyePharma Holding, Inc. (now a subsidiary of Vectura Group plc), or Skyepharma, its California operating subsidiary named Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Skyepharma Acquisition”). The Skyepharma Acquisition was accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141, Accounting for Business Combinations, which was the effective GAAP standard at the Skyepharma Acquisition date. As of June 30, 2020 the Company has recorded $62.0 million of goodwill related to the Skyepharma Acquisition.

In connection with the Skyepharma Acquisition, the Company agreed to percentage and milestone payments for DepoBupivacaine products, including EXPAREL. The milestone payments are as follows:

(i) $10.0 million upon the first commercial sale in the United States (met April 2012);

(ii) $4.0 million upon the first commercial sale in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy or Spain;

(iii) $8.0 million when annual net sales collected reach $100.0 million (met September 2014);

(iv) $8.0 million when annual net sales collected reach $250.0 million (met June 2016); and

(v) $32.0 million when annual net sales collected reach $500.0 million.

The two unmet milestone payments totaling $36.0 million are the only remaining obligations to Skyepharma. Any remaining milestone payments will be treated as additional costs of the Skyepharma Acquisition and, therefore, recorded as goodwill if and when each contingency is resolved. For purposes of meeting future potential milestone payments, annual net sales are measured on a rolling quarterly basis.

MyoScience Acquisition

In connection with the MyoScience Acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill totaling $37.5 million. The Company subsequently made a tax election that allows the acquired goodwill and intangible assets to be tax deductible.

Intangible Assets

MyoScience Acquisition

Intangible assets, net, consist of the developed technology and customer relationships that were acquired in the MyoScience Acquisition and are summarized as follows (in thousands):


June 30, 2020	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Intangible Assets, Net		Estimated Useful Life
Developed technology	$	110,000	$	(9,625)	$	100,375	14 years
Customer relationships	90		(11)		79		10 years
Total intangible assets	$	110,090	$	(9,636)	$	100,454


December 31, 2019	Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Intangible Assets, Net		Estimated Useful Life
Developed technology	$	110,000	$	(5,696)	$	104,304	14 years
Customer relationships	90		(7)		83		10 years
Total intangible assets	$	110,090	$	(5,703)	$	104,387

Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively. There was $1.8 million of amortization expense on intangible assets for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Assuming no changes in the gross carrying amount of these intangible assets, amortization expense on intangible assets will be $3.9 million for the remaining six months of 2020 and the future amortization expense on intangible assets will be $7.9 million annually through 2032 and $2.2 million in 2033.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025 On July 10, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $402.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Notes and entered into the 2025 Indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1^st and August 1^st of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021. The 2025 Notes mature on August 1, 2025. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes were approximately $389.9 million, after deducting commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2025 Notes were used by the Company to repurchase $185.0 million of its then-outstanding 2022 Notes in privately-negotiated transactions for a total of $211.1 million of cash (including accrued interest). For more information, see Note 9, Debt. Holders may convert the 2025 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 3, 2025, only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the ‘‘measurement period’’) in which the trading price (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, including a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (iv) if the Company calls the 2025 Notes for redemption, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date. On or after February 3, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, holders may convert their 2025 Notes at any time. Upon conversion, holders will receive the principal amount of their 2025 Notes and any excess conversion value, calculated based on the per share volume-weighted average price for each of the 40 consecutive trading days during the observation period (as more fully described in the 2025 Indenture). For both the principal and excess conversion value, holders may receive cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option. The initial conversion rate for the 2025 Notes is 13.9324 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $71.78 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represents a premium of approximately 32.5% to the closing sale price of $54.17 per share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 7, 2020, the date that the Company priced the private offering of the 2025 Notes. Prior to August 1, 2023, the Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes. On or after August 1, 2023 (but, in the case of a redemption of less than all of the outstanding 2025 Notes, no later than the 40^th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date), the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2025 Notes if the last reported sale price (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price will equal the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes being redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling the 2025 Notes for redemption will constitute a “make-whole fundamental change ” (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) and will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of such notes if it is converted in connection with the redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change, as defined in the 2025 Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2025 Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2025 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, if a ‘‘make-whole fundamental change’’ (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) occurs prior to August 1, 2025, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with the make-whole fundamental change. The 2025 Notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of its indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2025 Notes, and equal in right of payment to the Company’s unsecured indebtedness. The 2025 Notes are also effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to any debt or other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company. The 2025 Indenture contains customary events of default with respect to the 2025 Notes, including that upon certain events of default, 100% of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2025 Notes will automatically become due and payable. Termination of Agreement with DePuy Synthes Sales, Inc. In July 2020, the Company announced the termination of the Co-Promotion Agreement, dated January 24, 2017 between the Company and DePuy Synthes Sales Inc. to jointly market and promote the use of EXPAREL for orthopedic procedures in the United States. The Company currently estimates termination-related costs or payments to be up to $12.0 million, which will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily related to the MyoScience Acquisition and a $1.8 million reduction in the Company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets due to the acquisition. Due to net operating losses, or NOLs, carried forward, and the repeal of the corporate minimum tax, no current federal income tax expense was recorded for 2020 or 2019. The utilization of the Company’s NOLs has not resulted in any deferred federal tax expense because there was a full valuation allowance recorded with respect to the NOLs. However, if the Company’s results of operations continue to improve, the Company may be required to reverse some or all of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the second half of 2020.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

The Company leases all of its facilities, including its EXPAREL manufacturing facility in San Diego, California and its iovera° manufacturing facility in Fremont, California. These leases have remaining terms up to 10.2 years, some of which provide renewal options at the then-current market value. The Company also has a lease with Thermo Fisher Scientific Pharma Services, or Thermo Fisher (formerly Patheon UK Limited), for the use of their manufacturing facility in Swindon, England, which is embedded in agreements the Company has with Thermo Fisher. A portion of the associated monthly base fees has been allocated to the lease component based on a relative fair value basis.

The operating lease costs for the facilities include lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance and other common operating expenses, along with executory costs such as insurance and real estate taxes. Total operating lease costs are as follows (in thousands):

(1) The closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $52.47 per share on June 30, 2020 compared to a conversion price of $66.89 per share. Therefore, at June 30, 2020, the conversion price was above the stock price. The maximum conversion premium that could have been due on the 2022 Notes at June 30, 2020 was approximately 5.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which subsequently became 2.4 million shares after the July 2020 redemption of $185 million of aggregate principal 2022 Notes (see Note 17, Subsequent Events, for more information). These figures assume no increases in the conversion rate for certain corporate events.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2020

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Potential common shares include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of RSUs, the purchase of shares from the ESPP (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the excess conversion value on the 2022 Notes. As discussed in Note 9, Debt, the Company has the option to pay cash for the aggregate principal amount due upon the conversion of its 2022 Notes. Since it is the Company’s intent to settle the principal amount of its 2022 Notes in cash, the potentially dilutive effect of such notes on net income (loss) per share is computed under the treasury stock method.

Potential common shares are excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per share computation to the extent they would be antidilutive. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, no potentially dilutive securities have been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for those periods.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for interim reporting. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2020, and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth herein in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The condensed consolidated financial statements as presented reflect certain reclassifications from previously issued financial statements to conform to the

current year presentation. The accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the full year.

Concentration of Major Customers

The Company sells EXPAREL through a drop-ship program under which orders are processed through wholesalers (including AmerisourceBergen Health Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc. and McKesson Drug Company), but shipments of the product are sent directly to individual accounts, such as hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and individual doctors. The Company also sells EXPAREL directly to ambulatory surgery centers and physicians. The Company sells its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use to a third-party licensee and sells iovera° directly to end users. The table below includes the percentage of revenues comprised by the Company’s three largest wholesalers in each period presented:


	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019 using the effective date method. At adoption, the Company recorded $36.5 million of lease liabilities and $27.6 million of right-of-use, or ROU, assets as of January 1, 2019, the difference representing previously recorded lease-related assets and liabilities. There was a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $0.2 million upon adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company now includes forward-looking information to better form its credit loss estimates. This update also required enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. This standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. There were no credit losses recognized upon adoption at January 1, 2020.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework. The update added the following disclosures: (i) changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and the Company has applied these new disclosure requirements in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

In August 2018, the 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, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update provides guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as they relate to the service contract and which costs to expense. Any expense related to the capitalized implementation costs should be recorded in the same financial statement line item in the consolidated statements of operations as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement, and the payments for capitalized implementation costs should be classified in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element in the consolidated statements of cash flows. This standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred

after the date of adoption. The Company did not incur any implementation costs in a hosting arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Adopted as of June 30, 2020

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends the approaches and methodologies in accounting for income taxes during interim periods and makes changes to certain income tax classifications. The new standard allows certain exceptions, including an exception to the use of the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation, when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, and to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The standard also requires franchise or similar taxes partially based on income to be reported as income tax and to reflect the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation from the date of enactment. Lastly, in any future acquisition, the Company would be required to evaluate when the step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is part of the business combination and when it should be considered a separate transaction. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption of the amendments permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact from the adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the FASB established a three-level hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of fair value measurements are:

•Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

•Level 2—Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

The carrying value of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of the Company’s equity investment is calculated utilizing market quotations from a major American stock exchange (Level 1). The fair value of the Company’s convertible senior notes are calculated utilizing market quotations from an over-the-counter trading market for these notes (Level 2). The fair value of the Company’s acquisition-related contingent consideration is reported at fair value on a recurring basis (Level 3). The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):


	Carrying Value			Fair Value Measurements Using
						Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Financial Assets:

Acquisition-related contingent consideration ⁽³⁾	$	20,830		$	—		$	—		$	20,830

(2) Reported at historical cost.

(3) Reported at fair value on a recurring basis.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination and long-lived assets, which would be recognized at fair value if deemed impaired or if reclassified as assets held for sale. The fair value in these instances would be determined using Level 3 inputs.

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company has recognized contingent consideration related to the MyoScience Acquisition in the amount of $20.8 million as of June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 4, MyoScience Acquisition and Note 15, Acquisition-Related (Gains) Charges and Product Discontinuation, Net, for more information.

The Company’s contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their estimated fair values and are revalued each reporting period if and until the related contingencies are resolved. The Company has, as a result of revisions to its forecasted revenues (principally due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, recognized $1.6 million of charges and $2.3 million of gains related to contingent consideration, respectively, which have been included in acquisition-related charges (gains) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has measured the fair value of its contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach that is based on unobservable inputs and a Monte Carlo simulation. These inputs include, as applicable, estimated probabilities and the timing of achieving specified commercial and regulatory milestones, estimated forecasts of revenue and costs and discount rates

used to calculate the present value of estimated future payments. Significant changes may increase or decrease the probabilities of achieving the related commercial and regulatory events, shorten or lengthen the time required to achieve such events, or increase or decrease estimated forecasts. At June 30, 2020, the weighted average discount rate was 5.96% and the weighted average probability of success for regulatory milestones was 22.4%. There were no changes in the fair value of contingent consideration in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The following table includes the key assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s contingent consideration:


Assumption						Ranges Utilized as of June 30, 2020
Discount rates						5.94% to 6.03%
Probabilities of payment for regulatory milestones						3% to 100%
Projected years of payment for regulatory and commercial milestones						2020 to 2023

The maximum remaining potential payments related to the contingent consideration from the MyoScience Acquisition are $58.0 million.

The change in the Company’s contingent consideration recorded at fair value using Level 3 measurements is as follows (in thousands):


	Contingent Consideration Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	38,142

Fair value adjustments and accretion	(2,312)

Investments

Short-term investments consist of asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables, investment grade commercial paper and corporate bonds with maturities greater than three months, but less than one year. Long-term investments consist of asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables and corporate bonds with maturities greater than one year but less than two years. Net unrealized gains and losses (excluding credit losses, if any) from the Company’s short-term and long-term investments are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). At June 30, 2020, all of the Company’s short-term and long-term investments are classified as available for sale investments and are determined to be Level 2 instruments, which are measured at fair value using standard industry models with observable inputs. The fair value of the commercial paper is measured based on a standard industry model that uses the three-month U.S. Treasury bill rate as an observable input. The fair value of the asset-backed securities and corporate bonds is principally measured or corroborated by trade data for identical issues in which related trading activity is not sufficiently frequent to be considered a Level 1 input or that of comparable securities. At the time of purchase, all short-term and long-term investments had an “A” or better rating by Standard & Poor’s.

The following summarizes the Company’s investments at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

At June 30, 2020, there were no investments held for sale that were less than their amortized cost.

The Company elects to recognize its interest receivable separate from its available for sale investments. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the interest receivable recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Equity Investment

At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held an equity investment in TELA Bio, Inc., or TELA Bio, in its condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $10.0 million. The Company records its investment in TELA Bio at fair value based on a quoted market price, which resulted in an unrealized gain in the amount of $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and an unrealized gain of less than $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The fair values at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were based on Level 1 inputs.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. Such amounts may exceed federally-insured limits.

As of June 30, 2020, three wholesalers each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at 33%, 30% and 26%. At December 31, 2019, three wholesalers each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at 37%, 29% and 26%. For additional information regarding the Company’s wholesalers, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. EXPAREL revenues are primarily derived from major wholesalers and pharmaceutical companies that generally have significant cash resources. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers as warranted and generally does not require collateral. Allowances for credit losses on the Company’s accounts receivable are maintained based on historical payment patterns, current and estimated future economic conditions, aging of accounts receivable and its write-off history. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not deem any allowances for credit losses on its accounts receivable necessary.

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025

On July 10, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $402.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, and entered into an indenture, or 2025 Indenture, with respect to the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1^st and August 1^st of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021. The 2025 Notes mature on August 1, 2025. The Company used part of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes to repurchase $185.0 million aggregate principal of the 2022 Notes in privately-negotiated transactions for an aggregate of approximately $211.1 million in cash (including accrued interest). For more information on the 2025 Notes, see Note 17, Subsequent Events.

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2022

On March 13, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.375% convertible senior notes due 2022, or 2022 Notes, and entered into an indenture, or 2022 Indenture, with respect to the 2022 Notes. The 2022 Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 2.375% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1^st and October 1^st of each year. The 2022 Notes mature on April 1, 2022.

The total debt composition of the 2022 Notes is as follows (in thousands):


	June 30,		December 31,
	2020		2019
2.375% convertible senior notes due 2022	$	345,000	$	345,000
Deferred financing costs	(3,260)		(4,143)
Discount on debt	(27,558)		(34,812)
Total debt, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs	$	314,182	$	306,045

Holders may convert their 2022 Notes prior to October 1, 2021 only if certain circumstances are met, including if during the previous calendar quarter, the last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price then applicable for at least 20 out of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, this condition for conversion was not met.

On or after October 1, 2021, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding April 1, 2022, holders may convert their 2022 Notes at any time.

Upon conversion, holders will receive the principal amount of their 2022 Notes and any excess conversion value, calculated based on the per share volume-weighted average price for each of the 40 consecutive trading days during the observation period (as more fully described in the 2022 Indenture). For both the principal and excess conversion value, holders may receive cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option. The initial conversion rate for the 2022 Notes is 14.9491 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $66.89 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The initial conversion price of the 2022 Notes represents a premium of approximately 37.5% to the closing sale price of $48.65 per share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 7, 2017, the date that the Company priced the private offering of the 2022 Notes.

As of June 30, 2020, the 2022 Notes had a market price of $1,096 per $1,000 principal amount. In the event of conversion, holders would forgo all future interest payments, any unpaid accrued interest and the possibility of stock price appreciation. Upon the receipt of conversion requests, the settlement of the 2022 Notes will be paid pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Indenture. In the event that all of the 2022 Notes are settled, the Company would be required to repay the $345.0 million in principal value ($160.0 million following the July 2020 repurchase of $185.0 million aggregate principal of 2022 Notes discussed above and in Note 17, Subsequent Events) and any conversion premium in any combination of cash and shares of its common stock (at the Company’s option).

As of April 1, 2020, the Company may redeem for cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s option, all or part of the 2022 Notes if the last reported sale price (as defined in the 2022 Indenture) of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading-day period ending within five trading days prior to the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. This condition was not met during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The redemption price will equal the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes being redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling the 2022 Notes for redemption will constitute a “make whole fundamental change” (as defined in the 2022 Indenture) and will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of such notes if it is converted in connection with the redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the 2022 Notes.

While the 2022 Notes are currently classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020 as long-term debt, the future convertibility and resulting balance sheet classification of this liability is monitored at each quarterly reporting date and is analyzed dependent upon market prices of the Company’s common stock during the prescribed measurement periods. In the event that the holders of the 2022 Notes have the right to convert the 2022 Notes at any time during the prescribed measurement period, the 2022 Notes would then be considered a current obligation and classified as such.

MYOSCIENCE ACQUISITION

On April 9, 2019, the Company acquired MyoScience (the “MyoScience Acquisition”), a privately-held medical device company, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, under which MyoScience became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was renamed Pacira CryoTech, Inc. The total consideration was $147.5 million, which included a net cash payment of $119.0 million and the fair value of contingent consideration in the amount of $28.5 million. The contingent consideration consisted of contingent milestone payments up to an aggregate of $100.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, of which $58.0 million are available as of June 30, 2020. The Company’s obligation to make milestone payments is limited to those milestones achieved through December 31, 2023, and are to be paid within 60 days of the end of the fiscal quarter of achievement. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made $15.0 million of cash payments for the achievement of two regulatory milestones. See Note 10, Financial Instruments, for information on the measurement and amounts recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for contingent consideration.

REVENUE

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2020

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

REVENUE

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company’s sources of revenue include (i) sales of EXPAREL in the U.S.; (ii) sales of iovera° in the U.S.; (iii) sales of, and royalties on, its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use in the U.S. and (iv) license fees and milestone payments. The Company does not consider revenue from sources other than sales of EXPAREL to be material sources of its consolidated revenue. As such, the following disclosure only relates to revenue associated with net EXPAREL product sales.

Net Product Sales

The Company sells EXPAREL through a drop-ship program under which orders are processed through wholesalers based on orders of the product placed by end-users, namely hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and healthcare provider offices. EXPAREL is delivered directly to the end-user without the wholesaler ever taking physical possession of the product. Product revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods. EXPAREL revenue is recorded at the time the product is delivered to the end-user.

Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of returns allowances, prompt payment discounts, wholesaler service fees, volume rebates and chargebacks. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. These amounts are treated as variable consideration, estimated and recognized as a reduction of the transaction price at the time of the sale, using the most likely amount method for the gross to net adjustments, except for returns, which is based on the expected value method. The Company includes these estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for such transaction will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The calculation of some of these items requires management to make estimates based on sales data, historical return data, contracts and other related information that may become known in the future. The adequacy of these provisions is reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of accounts receivable arise from product sales and represent amounts due from wholesalers, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and doctors. Payment terms generally range from zero to 37 days from the date of the transaction, and accordingly, there is no significant financing component.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good that is distinct. When identifying individual performance obligations, the Company considers all goods promised in the contract regardless of whether explicitly stated in the customer contract or implied by customary business practices. The Company’s contracts with customers require it to transfer an individual distinct product, which represents a single performance obligation. The Company’s performance obligation with respect to its product sales is satisfied at a point in time, which transfers control upon delivery of EXPAREL to its customers. The Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because the customer has legal title to the asset, physical possession of the asset has been transferred, the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has a present right to payment at that time.

The following table represents disaggregated net product sales in the periods presented as follows (in thousands):
