NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Pacira BioSciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Pacira”) is the industry leader in its commitment to non-opioid pain management and providing a non-opioid option to as many patients as possible to redefine the role of opioids as rescue therapy only. The company is also developing innovative interventions to address debilitating conditions involving the sympathetic nervous system, such as cardiac electrical storm, chronic pain and spasticity. The Company’s long-acting, local analgesic, EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), was commercially launched in the United States, or U.S., in April 2012 and approved in select European countries and the United Kingdom, or U.K. in November 2021. EXPAREL utilizes the Company’s proprietary multivesicular liposome drug delivery technology that encapsulates drugs without altering their molecular structure, and releases them over a desired period of time. In November 2021, the Company acquired Flexion Therapeutics, Inc., or Flexion, and added ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension) to its product portfolio. ZILRETTA is the first and only extended-release, intra-articular (meaning in the joint) injection indicated for the management of osteoarthritis, or OA, knee pain. For more information, see Note 4, Flexion Acquisition. In April 2019, the Company added iovera°® to its commercial offering with the acquisition of MyoScience, Inc., or MyoScience (the “MyoScience Acquisition”). 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 three products, reliance on a limited number of wholesalers, 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.
The Company is managed and operated as a single business focused on the 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.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic and Global Economic Conditions
Since early 2020, the Company’s revenues have been impacted by COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges that included the significant postponement or suspension in the scheduling of elective surgical procedures due to public health guidance and government directives. While the degree of impact has diminished during the course of the pandemic due to the introduction of vaccines and therapeutics, as well as the lessening of elective surgery restrictions, certain pandemic-related operational and staffing challenges persist. It remains unclear how long it will take the elective surgery market to normalize or if restrictions on elective procedures will recur due to future COVID-19 variants or otherwise. Direct effects of the pandemic and global economic conditions may negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Such impacts may include the effect of prolonged periods of inflation on the Company’s customers and suppliers and longer lead-times or the inability to secure a sufficient supply of materials. The situation remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material changes. Additional negative impacts may also arise 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.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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, 2021.
The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2022, and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which, in the
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 10

Table of Contents
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, 2021 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, 2021. 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 ZILRETTA primarily to specialty distributors and a specialty pharmacy, who then subsequently resell ZILRETTA to physicians, clinics and certain medical centers or hospitals. The Company also contracts directly with healthcare providers and intermediaries such as Group Purchasing Organizations, or GPOs. The Company sells iovera° directly to end users and its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use to a third-party licensee in the U.S.
The table below includes the percentage of revenues comprised by the Company’s three largest wholesalers in each period presented:

The percentage of revenues from the Company’s three largest wholesalers have shifted in the current year with the addition of ZILRETTA sales.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which limits the number of convertible instruments that require separate accounting to (i) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt, that meet the definition of a derivative and that do not qualify for the scope exception from derivative accounting and (ii) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums were recorded as paid in capital. In addition, the new guidance requires diluted earnings per share calculations be prepared using the if-converted method instead of the treasury stock method. The Company elected to adopt the new guidance using a modified retrospective method of transition, which applied to transactions outstanding at January 1, 2022. As a result, the Company does not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for its convertible debt. Instead, the Company accounts for its convertible debt instruments wholly as debt. In addition, effective on January 1, 2022, the Company did not record interest expense on the previously recorded discount on its convertible debt. The impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2022 increased net debt by approximately $64.9 million, reduced accumulated deficit by $47.2 million, reduced additional paid-in capital by $96.5 million and decreased deferred tax liabilities by $15.7 million.

NOTE 3—REVENUE
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company’s net product sales consist of (i) EXPAREL in the U.S., the European Union, or E.U., and the U.K.; (ii) ZILRETTA in the U.S.; (iii) iovera° in the U.S., Canada and the E.U. and (iv) sales of, and royalties on, its bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension for veterinary use. Royalty revenues are from the Company’s collaborative licensing agreements. The Company does not consider revenue from sources other than sales of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA to be material sources of its consolidated revenue. As such, the following disclosure only relates to revenue associated with net EXPAREL and ZILRETTA 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. The Company primarily sells ZILRETTA to specialty distributors and a specialty pharmacy, who then subsequently resell ZILRETTA to physicians, clinics and certain medical centers or hospitals. The Company also contracts directly with healthcare providers and intermediaries such as GPOs. 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 and ZILRETTA revenue is recorded at the time the product is transferred to the customer.
Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of returns allowances, prompt payment discounts, service fees, government rebates, 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, 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, statutory requirements and other related information that may become known in the future.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of accounts receivable arise from product sales and represent amounts due from wholesalers, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty distributors, specialty pharmacy, GPOs and doctors. Payment terms generally range from zero to 97 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, or 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 and ZILRETTA 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.

NOTE 4—FLEXION ACQUISITION
On November 19, 2021, the Company acquired Flexion (the “Flexion Acquisition”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel, local therapies for the treatment of patients with musculoskeletal conditions, beginning with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. Upon consummation of the Flexion Acquisition, Flexion became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and was renamed Pacira Therapeutics, Inc.
The total consideration for the Flexion Acquisition was approximately $578.8 million consisting of: (i) $448.5 million of cash paid to former Flexion stockholders and to settle restricted stock units and in-the-money stock options; (ii) an $85.1 million cash payment to repay Flexion debt that was not assumed by the Company and (iii) $45.2 million of estimated contingent consideration related to contingent value rights, or CVRs, that were issued to Flexion shareholders and certain equity award holders in conjunction with the Flexion Acquisition. The consideration is subject to adjustments based on the achievement of certain potential milestone payments. Up to an additional $380.2 million in the aggregate may be payable to holders of the CVRs if each of the applicable milestones are achieved. No contingent consideration milestones were achieved in the six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 10, Financial Instruments, for information regarding the methodology and key assumptions used in the fair value measurements of contingent consideration and for more information regarding the changes in fair value.

NOTE 7—LEASES
The Company leases all of its facilities, including its EXPAREL and iovera° manufacturing facility in San Diego, California. These leases have remaining terms up to 8.2 years, some of which provide renewal options at the then-current market value. The Company also has two embedded leases with Thermo Fisher Scientific Pharma Services for the use of their manufacturing facility in Swindon, England for the production of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA. A portion of the associated monthly base fees has been allocated to the lease components 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):

NOTE 8—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill results from the acquisition of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company’s California operating subsidiary) from SkyePharma Holding, Inc., or Skyepharma, (now a subsidiary of Vectura Group plc) in March 2007 (the “Skyepharma Acquisition”), MyoScience, Inc., or MyoScience, (the “MyoScience Acquisition”) in April 2019 and the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021. The balances at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $146.1 million and $145.2 million, respectively. The increase was due to measurement period adjustments associated with the Flexion Acquisition. See Note 4, Flexion Acquisition, for more information.
The Skyepharma Acquisition occurred in March 2007, prior to the requirements to record contingent consideration at fair value under ASC 805-30. In connection with the Skyepharma Acquisition, the Company agreed to certain milestone payments for DepoBupivacaine products, including EXPAREL. The final Skyepharma milestone payment of $32.0 million when annual net sales collected reached $500.0 million was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2021 and paid during the first quarter of 2022.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, net, consist of the in-process research and development, or IPR&D, and developed technology from the Flexion Acquisition and developed technology and customer relationships from the MyoScience Acquisition and are summarized as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $14.3 million and $28.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense on intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 17

Table of Contents
$2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The increase in amortization expense in the current year is a result of the amortization of ZILRETTA for osteoarthritis knee pain acquired as part of the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021.
Assuming no changes in the gross carrying amount of these intangible assets, the future estimated amortization expense on the finite-lived intangible assets will be $28.6 million for the remaining six months of 2022, $57.3 million from 2023 to 2030, $37.4 million in 2031, $7.9 million in 2032 and $2.2 million in 2033.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances arise that indicate the carrying amount of an asset group is at risk of not being recoverable. A triggering event was identified for the ZILRETTA asset group due to a reduction in the near-term projected cash flows from the ZILRETTA product. The Company completed an impairment assessment through a recoverability test at June 30, 2022 by comparing the net carrying value of ZILRETTA asset group against the undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated from ZILRETTA. It was determined that the ZILRETTA asset group was recoverable and not impaired.

Term Loan B Facility
In December 2021, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the initial lender. The term loan issued under the Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”) was issued at a 3% discount and allows for a single-advance term loan B facility in the principal amount of $375.0 million, which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and each subsidiary guarantor’s assets. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at any time, on one or more occasion, add one or more new classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of the loans of any existing class by requesting one or more incremental term facilities. The net proceeds of the Term Loan were approximately $363.8 million after deducting an original issue discount of $11.2 million.
The total debt composition of the Term Loan is as follows (in thousands):
June 30,December 31,

Discount on debt(9,649)(11,060)
     Total debt, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs$352,120 $359,497 
The Term Loan matures on December 7, 2026 and requires quarterly repayments of principal in the amount of $9.4 million commencing June 30, 2022, increasing to $14.1 million commencing December 31, 2025, with a remaining balloon payment of approximately $188.0 million due at maturity. During 2022, the Company is required to make three quarterly payments totaling $28.1 million. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments of principal from (i) the Company’s excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) existing in any fiscal year and if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for such fiscal year exceeds certain predetermined limits (ii) net proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of non-ordinary course assets sales and casualty events and (iii) debt issuance proceeds (other than permitted debt under the Credit Agreement). Prepayment penalties for the Term Loan are 2% in the first loan year plus an interest make-whole payment, 2% in the second loan year, 1% in the third loan year and nothing thereafter. Prepayment penalties generally do not apply to mandatory prepayment obligations under the Credit Agreement, such as prepayments due in connection with excess cash flow. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made a scheduled principal payment of $9.4 million.
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 18

Table of Contents
The Term Loan requires the Company to, among other things, maintain (i) a first lien net leverage ratio, determined as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, of no greater than 1.75 to 1.00 and (ii) liquidity, at any time, of at least $150.0 million. The Term Loan also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other provisions. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
The Company may elect to borrow either term benchmark borrowings or alternate base rate borrowings. Term benchmark borrowings bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (subject to a 75 basis points floor) plus an applicable margin of 700 basis points. Alternate base rate borrowings bear interest at a variable rate per annum determined using a base rate (subject to a 175 basis points floor) equal to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect on such day, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 50 basis points or (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 100 basis points, subject to certain exceptions, plus an applicable margin of 600 basis points. As of June 30, 2022, borrowings under the Term Loan consisted entirely of term benchmark borrowings at a rate of 7.81%.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025
In July 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $402.5 million in aggregate principal amount of its 0.750% 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 0.750% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. The 2025 Notes mature on August 1, 2025.
The total debt composition of the 2025 Notes is as follows (in thousands):

Discount on debt (64,718)
     Total debt, net of debt discount and deferred financing costs$394,894 $330,627 
The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes were approximately $390.0 million, after deducting commissions and the offering expenses paid by the Company. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2025 Notes was used by the Company to repurchase $185.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its then-outstanding 2.375% convertible senior notes due 2022 in privately-negotiated transactions for a total of $211.1 million of cash (including accrued interest).
Holders may convert the 2025 Notes at any time prior to February 3, 2025, 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 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, 2022, this condition for conversion was not met.
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.
As of June 30, 2022, the 2025 Notes had a market price of $1,038 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 further stock price appreciation. Upon the receipt of conversion requests, the settlement of the 2025 Notes will be paid pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Indenture. In the event that all of the 2025 Notes are converted, the Company would be required to repay the
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 19

Table of Contents
$402.5 million in principal value and any conversion premium in any combination of cash and shares of its common stock (at the Company’s option).
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 40th 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.
While the 2025 Notes are currently classified on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022 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 2025 Notes have the election to convert the 2025 Notes at any time during the prescribed measurement period, the 2025 Notes would then be considered a current obligation and classified as such.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024 Assumed from the Flexion Acquisition
Prior to the Flexion Acquisition, on May 2, 2017, Flexion issued an aggregate of $201.3 million principal amount of 3.375% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Flexion 2024 Notes”), pursuant to the indenture, dated as of May 2, 2017 (the “Original Flexion Indenture”), between Flexion and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Flexion Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 19, 2021, between Flexion and the Flexion Trustee (the “First Supplemental Flexion Indenture” and, together with the Original Flexion Indenture, the “Flexion Indenture”). The Flexion 2024 Notes have a maturity date of May 1, 2024, are unsecured, and accrue interest at a rate of 3.375% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Upon the Flexion Acquisition, the principal was assumed and recorded at fair value by the Company.
Upon conversion of the Flexion 2024 Notes, at the election of each holder thereof, each Flexion 2024 Note was convertible into cash, shares of Flexion’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at Flexion’s election, at a conversion rate of approximately 37.3413 shares of Flexion common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes, which corresponded to an initial conversion price of approximately $26.78 per share of Flexion’s common stock. As a result of the Flexion Acquisition, and in connection with the Notice (as defined below), holders of the Flexion 2024 Notes became entitled to certain Flexion Acquisition-related conversion and repurchase rights, as discussed below. In addition, as a result of the Flexion Acquisition and as discussed in more detail below, any future conversion rights are subject to the occurrence of any future events giving rise to such conversion rights under the Flexion Indenture.
On December 6, 2021, as a result of the Flexion Acquisition and in accordance with the Flexion Indenture, Flexion provided a Fundamental Change Company Notice and Offer to Purchase (the “Notice”) to the holders of the Flexion 2024 Notes and offered to repurchase for cash all of the outstanding Flexion 2024 Notes, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, January 7, 2022, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The offer to purchase expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 6, 2022, as scheduled.
Any holder that did not exercise its repurchase right in accordance with the terms of the Notice retained the conversion rights associated with such holder’s Flexion 2024 Notes under the Flexion Indenture. For conversion of Flexion 2024 Notes in connection with the Fundamental Change and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change (each as defined in the Flexion Indenture) resulting from the Flexion Acquisition, each $1,000 principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes was convertible into (i) $317.40 in cash and (ii) 37.3413 CVRs, based on the conversion rate of 37.3413, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 7, 2022. Alternatively, holders could retain their Flexion 2024 Notes and such Flexion 2024 Notes would remain outstanding subject to their existing terms, including with respect to a holder’s right to receive interest payments on the Flexion 2024 Notes and exercise any future conversion rights that may arise under the Flexion Indenture.
On January 7, 2022, following the expiration of the offer to purchase, the Company accepted the $192.6 million aggregate principal amount of Flexion 2024 Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn). No Flexion 2024 Notes were converted in connection with the Notice. At June 30, 2022, the remaining principal outstanding is $8.6 million.

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2022
In March 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. The 2022 Notes accrued interest at a fixed rate of 2.375% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year. In July 2020, the Company used part of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes to repurchase $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes in privately-negotiated transactions for an aggregate of $211.1 million in cash (including accrued interest).

Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, the Company eliminated the convertible debt discounts associated with the 2022 Notes and the 2025 Notes that were originally recorded as offsets to the embedded conversion features recognized in equity. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company will not record interest expense on the previously recorded discounts on convertible debt. The deferred financing costs previously allocated to the conversion features have since been re-allocated to the outstanding debt, slightly increasing the future annual amortization of deferred financing costs. For additional information regarding the adoption of ASU 2020-06, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
NOTE 10—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 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 amounts of equity investments and convertible notes receivable without readily determinable fair values have not been adjusted for either an impairment or upward or downward adjustments based on observable transactions.
At June 30, 2022, the carrying values and fair values of the following financial assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

(1) The closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $58.30 per share at June 30, 2022 compared to a conversion price of $71.78 per share. Therefore, at June 30, 2022, the conversion price was above the stock price. The maximum conversion premium that could have been due on the 2025 Notes is 5.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which assumes no increase in the conversion rate for certain corporate events.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration
The Company has recognized contingent consideration related to the Flexion Acquisition and the MyoScience Acquisition in the amount of $35.2 million and $57.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 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 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 the 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.
In November 2021, the Company completed the Flexion Acquisition, which provided for contingent consideration related to CVRs that were issued to Flexion shareholders and certain equity award holders which could aggregate up to a total of $425.5 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met. The Company’s obligation to make milestone payments is limited to those milestones achieved through December 31, 2030, and are to be paid within 60 days of the end of the fiscal quarter of achievement. As part of the purchase price consideration related to the Flexion Acquisition, the Company recorded contingent consideration of $45.2 million, which represented the Company’s potential achievement of meeting the regulatory and commercial milestones. For the period from the date of the Flexion Acquisition through December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an additional $1.2 million liability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded gains of $12.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively, primarily due to adjustments to near-term forecasts for the earnout period of the contingent consideration. These adjustments were recorded as acquisition-related gains in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2022, the weighted average discount rate was 13.5% and the weighted average probability of success for regulatory milestones was 11.1%. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a contingent consideration liability related to the Flexion Acquisition was recognized in the amount of $33.1 million and $46.4 million, respectively.
In April 2019, the Company completed the MyoScience Acquisition pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which provided for contingent milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $100.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. 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. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum potential remaining milestone payments to be paid are $43.0 million. The Company recognized contingent consideration gains of $8.8 million and $9.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to the reduced probability of meeting the contingent consideration milestones by December 31, 2023, the expiration date for achieving the milestones. The Company recognized a $0.1 million contingent consideration charge and a $1.0 million gain during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
At June 30, 2022, the weighted average discount rate was 12.5% and the probability of success for the regulatory milestone that has not yet been met was reduced to zero. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a contingent consideration liability related to the MyoScience Acquisition has been recognized in the amounts of $2.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

Available-for-Sale Investments
Short-term investments consist of asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables, investment grade commercial paper and corporate and government bonds with maturities greater than three months, but less than one year. Net unrealized gains and losses (excluding credit losses, if any) from the Company’s short-term investments are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s short-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 investments had an “A” or better rating by Standard & Poor’s. 
The following summarizes the Company’s short-term available-for-sale investments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

At June 30, 2022, there were no investments available for sale that were materially less than their amortized cost.
The Company elects to recognize its interest receivable separate from its available-for-sale investments. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the interest receivable recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term available-for-sale 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, 2022, three wholesalers each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at 34%, 17% and 17%. At December 31, 2021, four wholesalers each accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, at 30%, 20%, 17% and 11%. For additional information regarding the Company’s wholesalers, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. EXPAREL and ZILRETTA revenues are primarily derived from major wholesalers and specialty distributors 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not deem any allowances for credit losses on its accounts receivable necessary.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP. The ESPP was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be sold under the ESPP by an additional 500,000 shares.
The ESPP features two six-month offering periods per year, running from January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. Under the ESPP, employees may elect to contribute after-tax earnings to purchase shares at 85% of the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on either the offering date or the purchase date, whichever is less. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 36,729 shares were purchased and issued through the ESPP.

NOTE 13—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.
ASU 2020-06 was adopted on January 1, 2022 and requires the Company to use the if-converted method to calculate the number of potentially dilutive shares for convertible debt. Under the if-converted method, adjustments are made to the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation as if the Company had converted the convertible debt on the first day of each period presented. Adjustments to the numerator are made to add back the interest expense associated with the convertible debt on a post-tax basis. Adjustments to the denominator reflect the number of shares assumed to be convertible at the beginning of the period. For additional information regarding ASU 2020-06, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Prior to January 1, 2022, the Company used the treasury stock method to calculate dilutive shares on its convertible debt.
Potential common shares include the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of RSUs and the purchase of shares from the ESPP (using the treasury stock method), if applicable.
Potential common shares are excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per share computation to the extent they would be antidilutive.

Flexion Acquisition
The Company recognized acquisition-related costs of $3.2 million and $8.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily for severance, legal fees, third-party services and other one-time charges related to the Flexion Acquisition. See Note 4Flexion Acquisition, for more information.
On November 19, 2021, as part of the purchase price consideration related to the Flexion Acquisition, the Company recorded contingent consideration of $45.2 million, which represents the Company’s potential achievement of meeting regulatory and sales-based milestones. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $12.5 million and $13.3 million gains, respectively, due to a decrease to the fair value of its contingent consideration, which was included in acquisition-related (gains) charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10, Financial Instruments, for information regarding the method, key assumptions used in the fair value measurements of contingent consideration and more information regarding the changes in fair value.
MyoScience Acquisition
The Company recognized $8.8 million and $9.0 million contingent consideration gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized a $0.1 million contingent consideration charge and a $1.0 million gain during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. See Note 10, Financial Instruments, for information regarding the method, key assumptions used in the fair value measurements of contingent consideration and more information regarding the changes in fair value.
Nuance Biotech Co. Ltd.
In June 2018, the Company entered an agreement with Nuance Biotech Co. Ltd., or Nuance, a China-based specialty pharmaceutical company, to advance the development and commercialization of EXPAREL in China. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company had granted Nuance the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize EXPAREL. In April 2021, the Company and Nuance agreed to a mutual termination of the agreement due to the lack of a viable regulatory pathway that adequately safeguards the Company’s intellectual property against the risk of a generic product. Dissolution costs of $3.0 million were included in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including those related to patents, product liability and government investigations. Except as described below, the Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that it believes to be material, and is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against the Company which it believes could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
MyoScience Milestone Litigation
In August 2020, the Company and its subsidiary, Pacira CryoTech, Inc. (“Pacira CryoTech”), filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Fortis Advisors LLC (“Fortis”), solely in its capacity as representative for the former securityholders of MyoScience, and certain other defendants, seeking declaratory judgment with respect to certain terms of the merger agreement for the MyoScience Acquisition (the “Merger Agreement”), specifically related to the achievement of certain milestone payments under the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Company and Pacira CryoTech sought general, special and compensatory damages against the other defendants related to breach of fiduciary duties in connection with the purported achievement of milestone payments under the Merger Agreement, and breach of the Merger Agreement and certain other agreements with the defendants. In October 2020, Fortis filed an answer and counterclaim against the Company and Pacira CryoTech seeking to recover certain milestone payments under the Merger Agreement. The total remaining value of these milestones is $30.0 million, plus attorneys’ fees. The Company believes that the counterclaim from Fortis is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all claims. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this action at this time.
eVenus Pharmaceutical Laboratories Litigations
In October 2021, the Company received a Notice Letter advising that eVenus Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Inc., or eVenus, of Princeton, New Jersey, submitted to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with a Paragraph IV certification seeking authorization for the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of EXPAREL (266 mg/20 mL) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 11,033,495 (the ’495 patent).
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 29

Table of Contents
In November 2021, the Company filed a patent infringement suit against eVenus and its parent company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (21-cv-19829) asserting infringement of the ’495 patent. This triggered an automatic 30-month stay of final approval of the eVenus ANDA. On January 6, 2022, eVenus filed an Answer with counterclaims to the Complaint, alleging the ’495 patent is invalid and/or not infringed through the manufacture, sale, or offer for sale of the product described in product described in eVenus’s ANDA submission.
In December 2021, the Company received a second Notice Letter advising that eVenus submitted to the FDA an amendment to its ANDA with a Paragraph IV Certification seeking authorization for the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of EXPAREL (133 mg/10 mL) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of the ’495 patent. In the Notice Letter, eVenus also advised that it submitted a Paragraph IV Certification to the FDA seeking authorization for the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of EXPAREL (266 mg/20 mL and 133 mg/10 mL) in the U.S. prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 11,179,336 (the ’336 patent). eVenus further alleges in the Notice Letter that both the ’495 patent and the ’366 patent are invalid and/or not infringed.
In February 2022, the Company filed a second patent infringement suit against eVenus and its parent company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (22-cv-00718) asserting that the 133 mg/10 mL ANDA product will infringe the ’495 and ’336 patents and that the 266 mg/20 mL ANDA product will infringe the ’336 patent. This filing triggered a second automatic 30-month stay of final approval for the 133 mg/10 mL ANDA product.
These litigations are in their infancy, and the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this action at this time.
Research Development Foundation
Pursuant to an agreement with the Research Development Foundation, or RDF, the Company was required to pay RDF a low single-digit royalty on the collection of revenues from certain products, for as long as certain patents assigned to the Company under the agreement remain valid. RDF has the right to terminate the agreement for an uncured material breach by the Company, in connection with its bankruptcy or insolvency or if it directly or indirectly opposes or disputes the validity of the assigned patent rights. The Company’s U.S. Patent No. 11,033,495 was issued on June 15, 2021. Thereafter, RDF asserted that the issuance of that patent extends the Company’s royalty obligations under the agreement until 2041. The Company believes that the royalty period under the agreement was set to end on December 24, 2021 with the expiration of its U.S. Patent No. 9,585,838. Because of the disagreement over the interpretation of the agreement, in December 2021, the Company filed a declaratory judgment lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (21-cv-02241). The lawsuit seeks a declaration from the court that the Company owes no royalties to RDF with respect to its EXPAREL product after December 24, 2021. During the pendency of the lawsuit, the Company will continue to pay royalties to RDF under protest, however, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this action at this time.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Pediatric Trial Commitments
The FDA, as a condition of EXPAREL approval, has required the Company to study EXPAREL in pediatric patients, as well as the administration of EXPAREL as a nerve block in the pediatric setting. The Company was granted a deferral for the required pediatric trials until after the indications were approved in adults. Similarly, in Europe, the Company agreed with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, on a Pediatric Investigation Plan as a prerequisite for submitting a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the E.U. Despite the U.K.’s withdrawal from the E.U., the agreed pediatric plan is applicable in the U.K.
In December 2019, the Company announced positive results for its extended pharmacokinetic and safety study (“PLAY”) for local analgesia in children aged six to 17 undergoing cardiovascular or spine surgeries. Those positive results were the basis for the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, in the U.S. and Type II variations in the E.U. and U.K. to expand the EXPAREL label to include use in patients six years of age and older for single-dose infiltration to produce postsurgical local analgesia. In March 2021, the Company announced that the FDA approved the submission of the sNDA in the U.S. The EMA and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, are still reviewing the Type II variations.
The Company is working with the FDA, MAA and MHRA to finalize the regulatory pathway for its remaining pediatric commitments.
Hong Kong Pharma Tainuo Ltd.
Prior to the Flexion Acquisition, in March 2020, Flexion entered into an exclusive license agreement with Hong Kong Tainuo Pharma Ltd., or HK Tainuo, and Jiangsu Tainuo Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Jiangsu Tainuo, a subsidiary of China

Shijiazhuang Pharmaceutical Co, Ltd., for the development and commercialization of ZILRETTA in Greater China (consisting of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Under the terms of the agreement, HK Tainuo paid Flexion an upfront payment of $10.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 which was recorded in other liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company was also eligible to receive up to $32.5 million in aggregate development, regulatory and commercial sales milestone payments under the exclusive license agreement. HK Tainuo was responsible for the clinical development, product registration and commercialization of ZILRETTA in Greater China. The Company was solely responsible for the manufacture and supply of ZILRETTA to HK Tainuo for all clinical and commercial activities. The terms related to product manufacturing and supply, including pricing and minimum purchase requirements agreed to in the license agreement, were to be covered by a separate supply agreement, which had not yet been finalized as of June 30, 2022. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the license agreement was scheduled to continue in effect in perpetuity or as long as HK Tainuo or Jiangsu Tainuo continued to sell ZILRETTA in Greater China.
Subsequently, in July 2022, the Company submitted a termination letter to HK Tainuo associated with this license agreement.

Overview
Pacira is the industry leader in our commitment to non-opioid pain management and providing a non-opioid option to as many patients as possible to redefine the role of opioids as rescue therapy only. We are also developing innovative interventions to address debilitating conditions involving the sympathetic nervous system, such as cardiac electrical storm, chronic pain and spasticity. Our long-acting, local analgesic EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) was commercially launched in April 2012. EXPAREL utilizes our unique pMVL drug delivery technology that encapsulates drugs without altering their molecular structure and releases them over a desired period of time. In the U.S., EXPAREL is the only opioid-free, long-acting local and regional analgesic approved for infiltration, field blocks and interscalene brachial plexus nerve block to produce local or regional postsurgical analgesia. EXPAREL is also approved for infiltration in pediatric patients aged six years and older in the U.S. In Europe, EXPAREL is approved as a brachial plexus block or femoral nerve block for treatment of post-operative pain in adults, and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in adults. Since its initial approval in 2011, more than 10 million patients have been treated with EXPAREL. We drop-ship EXPAREL directly to end-users based on orders placed to wholesalers or directly to us, and there is no product held by wholesalers. With the acquisition (the “Flexion Acquisition”) of Flexion Therapeutics, Inc. (“Flexion”) in November 2021, we acquired ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension), the first and only extended-release, intra-articular therapy that can provide major relief for osteoarthritis, or OA, knee pain for three months and has the potential to become an alternative to hyaluronic acid, or HA, and platelet rich plasma, or PRP, injections or other early intervention treatments. With the acquisition of MyoScience, Inc. (the “MyoScience Acquisition”) in April 2019, we acquired iovera°®, a handheld cryoanalgesia device used to deliver a precise, controlled application of cold temperature only to targeted nerves, which we sell directly to end users. The iovera° system is highly complementary to EXPAREL as a non-opioid therapy that alleviates pain by disrupting pain signals being transmitted to the brain from the site of injury or surgery. We also believe ZILRETTA is highly complementary to iovera°.

We expect to continue to pursue the expanded use of EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° in additional procedures; progress our earlier-stage product candidate pipeline; advance regulatory activities for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA, iovera° and other product candidates; invest in sales and marketing resources for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°; expand and enhance our manufacturing capacity for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°; invest in products, businesses and technologies; and support legal matters.

Flexion Acquisition

In November 2021, we completed the Flexion Acquisition pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), under which Flexion became our wholly owned subsidiary and added ZILRETTA, a non-opioid corticosteroid that employs a proprietary microsphere technology to provide extended pain relief, to our commercial offering. The addition of ZILRETTA to our innovative non-opioid product portfolio directly aligns with our mission to provide an opioid alternative to as many patients as possible and address medical needs along the neural pain pathway.

The total consideration of $578.8 million included an initial payment of $428.3 million which represented $8.50 in cash per share of Flexion common stock, $20.2 million paid to settle restricted stock units and in-the-money stock options, an $85.1 million cash payment to repay Flexion debt that was not assumed by us and $45.2 million in contingent consideration representing the fair value of contingent value rights, or CVRs, that were issued in conjunction with the Flexion Acquisition. The Merger Agreement provided for one non-tradeable CVR per share of Flexion common stock as well as one CVR per share for certain Flexion equity awards. Each CVR entitles Flexion shareholders to contingent milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $8.00 in cash per share of Flexion common stock if certain milestones are met on or prior to December 31, 2030. Up to an additional $380.2 million in the aggregate may be payable to holders of the CVRs if each of the applicable milestones are achieved. For more information, see Note 4, Flexion Acquisition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic and Global Economic Conditions

Since early 2020, our revenues have been impacted by COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges that included the significant postponement or suspension in the scheduling of elective surgical procedures due to public health guidance and government directives. While the degree of impact has diminished during the course of the pandemic due to the introduction of vaccines and therapeutics, as well as the lessening of elective surgery restrictions, certain pandemic-related operational and staffing challenges persist. It remains unclear how long it will take the elective surgery market to normalize or if restrictions on elective procedures will recur due to future COVID-19 variants or otherwise. Direct effects of the pandemic and global economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such impacts may include the effect of prolonged periods of inflation on our customers and suppliers and longer lead-times or the inability to
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 33

Table of Contents
secure a sufficient supply of materials. The situation remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material changes. Additional negative impacts may also arise that we are unable to foresee. The nature and extent of such impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and implement measures recommended by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our patients, employees, partners, suppliers, shareholders and stakeholders. For a description of risks facing us that relate to the COVID-19 pandemic or any other future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of contagious disease, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recent Highlights

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued Patent Nos. 11,304,904, and 11,311,486 in April 2022, and issued Patent No. 11,357,727 in June 2022. The ’904, ’486, and ’727 patents are listed in the FDA Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the “Orange Book”). With these three new patents, there are currently six EXPAREL patents listed in the Orange Book, each with an expiration date of January 22, 2041.
In June 2022, we announced the launch of a partnership with the National Safety Council, or NSC, and the Connect2Prevent program. Connect2Prevent is an innovative employee-family educational program that increases awareness and prevention of opioid addiction. The NSC created a comprehensive curriculum designed to educate employees on the risks associated with opioids and provide them with the tools to have meaningful discussions with adolescent family members. The curriculum includes 10-12 weeks of engaging lessons on opioids, addiction, stigma, risk factors for substance use, refusal skills, harm reduction, how to talk to doctors about opioid alternatives and more. The lessons provide easy-to-understand education, action steps and evidence-based tools to connect and communicate with teens.
In August 2022, we announced the completion of patient enrollment in our two Phase 3 studies of EXPAREL as a nerve block in lower extremity surgeries. The first study is evaluating EXPAREL as an adductor canal block for total knee arthroplasty, or TKA, and the second is evaluating EXPAREL as a popliteal sciatic nerve block for bunionectomy. We believe positive results from these studies will form the basis for an sNDA submission seeking label expansion to include lower extremity nerve blocks.

EXPAREL

In the U.S., EXPAREL is currently indicated in patients six years of age and older for single-dose infiltration to produce postsurgical local analgesia, and in adults as an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block to produce postsurgical regional analgesia. Safety and efficacy have not been established in other nerve blocks. In the E.U., EXPAREL is indicated as a brachial plexus block and femoral nerve block for treatment of post-operative pain in adults, and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in adults.

EXPAREL Label and Global Expansion

Lower extremity nerve block. We have completed enrollment in two Phase 3 registration studies of EXPAREL as a nerve block in lower extremity surgeries. One is a popliteal sciatic nerve block for bunionectomy and the second is an adductor canal block for TKA. We believe positive results from these studies will form the basis for an sNDA submission seeking label expansion to include lower extremity nerve blocks. We believe the addition of this indication is significant as anesthesia-driven regional approaches using nerve and field blocks continue to expand as institutional protocols.

Pediatrics. We are working with the FDA to finalize our studies to support expansion of the EXPAREL single-dose infiltration label to include patients under six years of age. We have met with the FDA to discuss appropriate studies of EXPAREL in pediatric patients aged 0 to less than 6 years of age. We expect that these studies, if successful, will be the basis for an sNDA seeking expansion of the EXPAREL label to include this patient population for single-dose infiltration. We are also discussing our regulatory strategy for EXPAREL administered as a nerve block in the pediatric setting. We are working with both the FDA and the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, with the goal of harmonizing our pediatric clinical studies as much as possible between the two regions.

Stellate ganglion block. Planning is underway for a multicenter registration study of EXPAREL as a stellate ganglion block for treating refractory cardiac ventricular dysrhythmias and for use to prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation after open heart surgery. We are working with a steering committee of Key Opinion Leaders in regional anesthesia and
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 34

Table of Contents
stellate ganglion blocks who will convene later this year to help finalize study design. After an FDA meeting to align on our regulatory strategy for expanding the EXPAREL label to include stellate ganglion block, we expect to proceed with a registration trial. We believe a stellate ganglion block utilizing EXPAREL will last for several days and address a significant unmet need in patients with ventricular and atrial dysrhythmias.

Global expansion. We have prioritized the European and Latin American markets for global expansion. In Europe, we were granted marketing authorization by the EC in November 2020 for EXPAREL as a brachial plexus block or femoral nerve block for treatment of post-operating pain in adults and as a field block for treatment of somatic post-operative pain from small- to medium-sized surgical wounds in adults. We launched EXPAREL in the U.K. and targeted E.U. countries in the fourth quarter of 2021. In Latin America, we have a distribution agreement with Eurofarma Laboratories S.A., or Eurofarma, for the development and commercialization of EXPAREL. Eurofarma has the exclusive right to market and distribute EXPAREL in 19 countries in Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. In addition, Eurofarma will be responsible for regulatory filings for EXPAREL in these countries. We will receive royalties and are also eligible to receive regulatory- and commercial-based milestone payments that are triggered by the achievement of certain events.

ZILRETTA

ZILRETTA was approved by the FDA in October 2017 and launched in the U.S. shortly thereafter. We market ZILRETTA through our ZILRETTA and iovera° sales force of approximately 50 Treatment Solutions Managers who are providing clinicians with two unique OA treatment options to individualize patient care. ZILRETTA is the first and only extended-release, intra-articular therapy for patients confronting OA knee pain. ZILRETTA employs a proprietary microsphere technology combining triamcinolone acetonide, or TA, a commonly administered, immediate-release corticosteroid, with a poly lactic-co-glycolic acid, or PLGA, matrix to provide extended pain relief. PLGA is a proven extended-release delivery vehicle that is metabolized to carbon dioxide and water as it releases drug in the intra-articular space and is used in other approved drug products and surgical devices. The ZILRETTA microspheres slowly and continuously release triamcinolone acetonide into the knee to provide significant pain relief for 12 weeks, with some people experiencing pain relief through 16 weeks.

We believe ZILRETTA’s extended-release profile may also provide effective treatment for OA pain of the shoulder, and we intend to initiate a Phase 3 trial investigating ZILRETTA in shoulder OA in 2023 after aligning with the FDA on study design. In addition, we are planning a study comparing ZILRETTA to immediate release triamcinolone acetonide in patients with Type 2 diabetes and are evaluating a repeat dosing study.

ZILRETTA Clinical Benefits

ZILRETTA combines a commonly administered steroid, TA, with PLGA, delivering a 32 milligram dose of TA to provide extended therapeutic concentrations in the joint and persistent analgesic effect.

Based on the strength of its pivotal and other clinical trials, we believe that ZILRETTA represents an important treatment option for the millions of patients in the U.S. in need of safe and effective extended relief from OA knee pain. The pivotal Phase 3 trial, on which the approval of ZILRETTA was based, showed that ZILRETTA significantly reduced OA knee pain for 12 weeks, with some people experiencing pain relief through Week 16. Both the magnitude and duration of pain relief provided by ZILRETTA in clinical trials were clinically meaningful with the magnitude of pain relief amongst the largest seen to date in OA clinical trials. The overall frequency of treatment-related adverse events in these trials was similar to those observed with placebo, and no drug-related serious adverse events were reported. We believe that ZILRETTA holds the potential to become the corticosteroid of choice given its safety and efficacy profile, and the fact that it is the first and only extended-release corticosteroid on the market. In September 2021, the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, or AAOS, updated its evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, finding ZILRETTA can improve patient outcomes over traditional immediate-release corticosteroids.

iovera°
The iovera° system is an FDA-approved, non-opioid handheld cryoanalgesia device used to produce precise, controlled doses of cold temperature only to targeted nerves. It has been FDA 510(k) cleared in the U.S., has a CE mark in the E.U. and is cleared for marketing in Canada for the blocking of pain. We believe the iovera° system is highly complementary to EXPAREL and ZILRETTA as a non-opioid therapy that alleviates pain using a non-pharmacological nerve block to disrupt pain signals being transmitted to the brain from the site of injury or surgery. It is also indicated for the relief of pain and symptoms associated with arthritis of the knee for up to 90 days.

Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 35

iovera° Clinical Benefits

There is a growing body of clinical data demonstrating success with iovera° treatment for OA of the knee. Surgical intervention is typically a last resort for patients suffering from OA of the knee. In one study, the majority of the patients suffering from OA of the knee experienced pain relief up to 150 days after being treated with iovera°.

Preliminary findings demonstrated reductions in opioids, including:

The daily morphine equivalent consumption in the per protocol group analysis was significantly lower at 72 hours (p<0.05), 6 weeks (p<0.05) and 12 weeks (p<0.05).
Patients who were administered iovera° were far less likely to take opioids six weeks after surgery. The number of patients taking opioids six weeks after TKA in the control group was three times the number of patients taking opioids in the cryoanalgesia group (14% vs. 44%, p<0.01).
Patients in the iovera° group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in pain scores from their baseline pain scores at 72 hours (p<0.05) and at 12 weeks (p<0.05).

We believe these data validate iovera° as a clinically meaningful non-opioid alternative for patients undergoing TKA, and that iovera° offers the opportunity to provide patients with non-opioid pain control well in advance of any necessary surgical intervention through a number of key product attributes:
iovera° is safe and effective with immediate pain relief that can last for months as the nerve regenerates over time;
iovera° is repeatable;
The iovera° technology does not risk damage to the surrounding tissue;
iovera° is a convenient handheld device with a single-use procedure-specific Smart Tip; and
iovera° can be delivered precisely using ultrasound guidance or an anatomical landmark.

In September 2021, the AAOS updated its evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, reporting that denervation therapy—including cryoneurolysis—may reduce knee pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic OA of the knee.

We are also encouraged by usage of iovera° in other areas. Key opinion leaders in orthopedics, spine and anesthesia are interested in replacing heat-based radiofrequency ablation with iovera° cold therapy. There is interest across a wide range of treatment opportunities such as low back pain, spine, spasticity and rib fracture. We intend to use investigator-initiated studies and grants to develop data across these areas.

iovera° Global Expansion

In July 2021, we entered into a licensing agreement with Verve Medical Products, Inc. for the distribution of iovera° in Canada. We began selling iovera° in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, we began selling iovera° in the E.U. through a contracted sales force in the first quarter of 2022.

The Osteoarthritis Market

OA is the most common form of arthritis. It is also called degenerative joint disease and occurs most frequently in the hands, hips and knees. With OA, the cartilage within a joint begins to break down and the underlying bone begins to change. These changes usually develop slowly and get worse over time. OA can cause pain, stiffness and swelling. In some cases it also causes reduced function and disability; some people are no longer able to do daily tasks or work. According to the CDC, OA affects over 32.5 million adults in the U.S.

The lifetime risk of developing symptomatic knee OA is 45 percent. The prevalence of symptomatic knee OA increases with each decade of life, with the annual incidence of knee OA being highest between age 55 and 64 years old. There are 14 million individuals in the U.S. who have symptomatic knee OA, and nearly two million are under the age of 45. Surgical intervention is typically a last resort for patients suffering from OA of the knee.

With the addition of ZILRETTA to our product offering, we can now offer clinicians the flexibility to individualize OA knee pain treatment with either ZILRETTA or a drug-free nerve block with iovera° based on patient factors and preference, physician training, site of care and reimbursement considerations.

Clinical Development Programs

PCRX-201 and PCRX-301 (Formerly FX-201 and FX-301)

PCRX-201 and PCRX-301 were added to our portfolio as part of the Flexion Acquisition. PCRX-201 is a gene therapy product candidate designed to provide “on demand” production of an anti-inflammatory protein, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) whenever inflammation is detected in the joint. PCRX-301, is a locally administered NaV1.7 inhibitor, known as funapide, formulated for extended release in a thermosensitive hydrogel. The initial development of PCRX-301 was intended to support administration as a peripheral analgesic lower extremity nerve block for management of post-operative pain.

pMVL-Based Clinical Programs

Given the proven safety, flexibility and customizability of our pMVL drug delivery technology platform for acute, sub-acute and chronic pain applications, we have several pMVL-based products in clinical development. Following data readouts from preclinical and feasibility studies for these candidates, we have prioritized three programs for clinical development: (i) PCRX-401, a dexamethasone-pMVL for low back pain; (ii) PCRX-501, a high potency bupivacaine-pMVL for longer-lasting pain relief (20.0 mg/mL) and (iii) a bupivacaine-pMVL for intrathecal analgesia (13.3 mg/mL). We are planning to initiate the second half of our Phase 1 study of low-concentration bupivacaine-pMVL for intrathecal analgesia in late 2022.

External Innovation

In parallel to our internal clinical programs, our business development team continues to pursue innovative acquisition targets that are complementary to EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° and that we believe are of great interest to the surgical and anesthesia audiences we are already calling on today. We are using a combination of strategic investments, in-licensing and acquisition transactions to build out a pipeline of innovation to improve patients’ journeys along the neural pain pathway. Select strategic investments we have made to support promising early stage platforms are summarized below.

Pacira Training Facilities

In October 2020, we opened the Pacira Innovation and Training center of Tampa (the “PITT”). We designed this facility to help advance clinician understanding of the latest local, regional and field block approaches for managing pain. The PITT provides an unparalleled training environment for healthcare providers working to reduce or eliminate patient exposure to opioids. The PITT supports a full range of educational events to advance clinician understanding of the latest local, regional, and field block approaches for managing pain and reducing or eliminating exposure to opioids. Our corporate headquarters are also located at the PITT.

The PITT consists of approximately 13,000 square-feet of fully adaptable space and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and audio/visual capabilities and features several distinct training spaces including a simulation lab equipped with seven ultrasound scanning stations; a lecture hall featuring a 4½-foot tall by 24-foot wide liquid crystal display video wall to support live, virtual and even global presentations; and a green-screen broadcast studio designed to livestream content with single or multiple hosts.

In addition to our EXPAREL programs, we are hosting ongoing workshops to train new users on best practice techniques for iovera° administration at the PITT. Led by healthcare professionals, these labs include didactic lectures and hands-on trainings including live model nerve scanning and identification using ultrasound and peripheral nerve stimulation.

At no fee to the organization, the PITT also serves as a venue for national anesthesia provider organizations to host their own workshops and training sessions to educate healthcare providers.

We have launched development plans for a second training facility in Houston, Texas. This 19,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility will feature an adaptive lecture hall, broadcast studio and lab space for cadaver and other interactive workshops. These training centers are core to developing both our physician champions and community-based clinicians who want to stay on the forefront of opioid-sparing pain management. We expect to open this facility before the end of 2022 which would immediately double our capacity and ability to host programs for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°.

unit, partially offset by the sales mix of EXPAREL vial sizes. Although the demand for EXPAREL has continued to increase primarily as a result of Ambulatory Surgical Centers and anesthesiologists broadening the use of long-acting EXPAREL regional approaches as a foundation of multimodal opioid-minimization strategies that enable shifting inpatient procedures to 23-hour sites of care, the elective surgery market has faced additional pandemic-related challenges due to regional surges in COVID-19 variant cases, staffing shortages and fatigue from care teams addressing significant procedure backlogs. EXPAREL utilization remains above the overall sharp decline in elective surgical procedures relative to pre-pandemic baseline levels due to increased utilization in outpatient settings and emergent procedures.
As a result of the Flexion Acquisition, we acquired ZILRETTA in November 2021, which is an extended-release corticosteroid treatment for OA knee pain. We recognized net product sales of $27.4 million and $51.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Net product sales of iovera° decreased 16% and 12% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, respectively, primarily due to a delay in the transition from generation 1 to generation 2 iovera° products and short-term variations in reimbursement policies in certain territories.
Bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension net product sales decreased and its related royalties increased nominally in the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021. Bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension net product sales and its related royalties increased in the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021. These changes versus the prior year periods were due to the timing of orders placed by Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. for veterinary use.
Any renewed government suspension of or reluctance of patients to have elective procedures would impact our future sales of EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The following tables provide a summary of activity with respect to our sales related allowances and accruals related to EXPAREL and ZILRETTA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

 Gross margin70 %74 %74 %74 %
Gross margin decreased four percentage points in the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021 mainly due to higher EXPAREL inventory reserves due to raw material supply chain delays and the ZILRETTA step-up of fixed assets and inventory to fair value in accordance with purchase accounting. There was no change in gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, when a two percentage point increase due to the prior period’s unplanned downtime was offset by a two percentage point decrease due to higher EXPAREL inventory reserves attributable to raw material supply chain delays.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses primarily consist of costs related to clinical trials and related outside services, product development and other research and development costs, including trials that we are conducting to generate new data for EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera° and stock-based compensation expense. Clinical and preclinical development expenses include costs for clinical personnel, clinical trials performed by third-parties, toxicology studies, materials and supplies, database management and other third-party fees. Product development and manufacturing capacity expansion expenses include development costs for our products, which include personnel, equipment, materials and contractor costs for process development and product candidates, development costs related to significant scale-ups of our manufacturing capacity and facility costs for our research space. Regulatory and other expenses include regulatory activities related to unapproved products and indications, medical information expenses and related personnel. Stock-based compensation expense relates to the costs of stock option grants, awards of restricted stock units, or RSUs, and our employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP.

Table of Contents
Regulatory and other expense increased 28% and 2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, respectively, due to increased support of E.U. EXPAREL pediatric submissions, partially offset by lower ongoing costs in 2022 related to our iovera° clinical data registry, as compared to start-up expenses incurred in the first half of 2021.
Stock-based compensation increased 14% and 22% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, respectively, primarily due to greater equity awards outstanding for research and development personnel.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our sales force and personnel that support our sales, marketing, medical and scientific affairs operations, payments to our marketing partners for the promotion and sale of our products, expenses related to communicating the health outcome benefits of our products, investments in provider-level market access and patient reimbursement support and educational programs for our customers. General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and benefits for legal, finance, regulatory activities related to approved products and indications, compliance, information technology, human resources, business development, executive management and other supporting personnel. It also includes professional fees for legal, audit, tax and consulting services. Stock-based compensation expense relates to the costs of stock option grants, RSU awards and our ESPP.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased 28% and 30% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, respectively
Sales and marketing expenses increased 30% and 36% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, respectively. The increases were driven by a sales force expansion supporting iovera°, the addition of a sales force to support ZILRETTA and fully staffing a contracted sales force in Europe. We are continuing our marketing investment in EXPAREL and iovera°, which includes educational initiatives and programs related to the impact of opioids and postsurgical pain management and our national advocacy campaign designed to educate patients about non-opioid treatment options. Additionally, we continue our investment in clinician training in the use of EXPAREL and iovera° at our PITT training facility in Tampa, Florida. The addition of ZILRETTA to our commercial portfolio has increased our sales and marketing spend in 2022 as we increased the size of our ZILRETTA and iovera° sales force, which is providing clinicians with two unique OA treatment options to individualize patient care and patient reimbursement support for ZILRETTA.
General and administrative expenses increased 32% and 29% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021, respectively. The increases were driven by administrative support costs as a result of the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021, including transition expenses during integration, and additional support for our expansion into European markets. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2022 also includes legal costs to support intellectual property protection.
Stock-based compensation increased 11% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to an increase in the number of equity awards outstanding for selling, general and administrative personnel.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased substantially in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021 due to the Flexion Acquisition. We acquired a developed technology intangible asset for ZILRETTA for OA knee pain, which is being amortized over a useful life of approximately ten years.

Total acquisition-related (gains) charges, product discontinuation and other increased substantially in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 versus 2021.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized acquisition-related gains, net of $18.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively. These gains were primarily driven by reductions in acquisition contingent consideration liabilities due to adjustments to near-term forecasts for the applicable period during which the Flexion contingent consideration may be achieved under the Merger Agreement and due to the reduced probability of meeting the MyoScience contingent consideration milestones by December 31, 2023, the expiration date for achieving the milestones. These gains were partially offset by severance, legal fees, third-party services and other one-time charges related to the Flexion Acquisition. For more information, see Note 10, Financial Instruments, and Note 15, Acquisition-Related Charges, Product Discontinuation and Other, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as part of the MyoScience Acquisition, we recognized acquisition-related charges of $0.1 million and gains of $1.0 million, respectively, primarily related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. See Note 10, Financial Instruments, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, for information regarding the methods and key assumptions used in the fair value measurements of contingent consideration.
In June 2018, we entered into an agreement with Nuance Biotech Co. Ltd. to advance the development and commercialization of EXPAREL in China. In April 2021, we agreed to a mutual termination of the agreement due to the lack of a viable regulatory pathway that adequately safeguards our intellectual property against the risk of a generic product. Dissolution costs of $3.0 million were included in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The 26% and 36% increase in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, was due to the $375.0 million term loan B credit agreement (the “Term Loan”) entered into in December 2021. This increase was partially offset by the absence of debt discount amortization associated with our convertible notes in the current year due to adopting Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2020-06 in 2022, and the maturing of our 2.375% convertible senior notes due 2022, or 2022 Notes, on April 1, 2022. For additional information regarding the adoption of ASU 2020-06, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements herein.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 include benefits related to stock-based compensation, a first quarter SkyePharma Holding, Inc., or Skyepharma, (now a subsidiary of Vectura Group plc), milestone payment and a fair value adjustment for Flexion contingent consideration, offset by non-deductible executive compensation costs and a valuation allowance against non-U.S. results. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include benefits related to stock-based compensation offset by non-deductible executive compensation costs and valuation allowances recorded against deductible capital losses and non-U.S. results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception in 2006, we have devoted most of our cash resources to manufacturing, research and development and selling, general and administrative activities related to the development and commercialization of EXPAREL. In addition, we acquired ZILRETTA as part of the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021 and iovera° as part of the MyoScience Acquisition in April 2019. We are primarily dependent on the commercial success of EXPAREL and ZILRETTA. We have financed our operations primarily with the proceeds from the sale of convertible senior notes and other debt, common stock, product sales and collaborative licensing and milestone revenue. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $138.0 million, cash and cash equivalents and short-term available-for-sale investments of $316.4 million and working capital of $393.0 million.
We expect that our cash and available-for-sale investments on hand will be adequate to cover our short-term liquidity needs, and that we would be able to access other sources of financing should the need arise.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, allows for certain measures to increase liquidity for businesses

such as the deferral of employer payroll taxes, a tax credit for retaining employees and other provisions. We benefited from the provision to defer the payment of certain employer payroll taxes in the amount of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and remitted $1.4 million in December 2021. The remaining $1.4 million is due by December 31, 2022.

Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $60.6 million, compared to $42.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $18.4 million was primarily attributable to increased net product sales from both ZILRETTA, acquired as part of the Flexion Acquisition in November 2021, and EXPAREL, coupled with realized efficiencies from the acquisition of Flexion.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $188.9 million, which reflected $124.7 million of short-term available-for-sale investment purchases (net of maturities), a $32.0 million contingent consideration milestone payment that had been achieved in the fourth quarter of 2021 associated with our 2007 acquisition of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from Skyepharma, purchases of fixed assets of $19.4 million for fill lines for our products and equipment for a 200-liter EXPAREL capacity expansion project at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California and purchases of equity and debt investments of $12.8 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $52.6 million, which reflected $23.8 million of short-term and long-term investment purchases (net of maturities) and purchases of fixed assets of $23.6 million. Major fixed asset purchases included equipment for a new 200-liter EXPAREL capacity expansion project at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California, and continuing expenditures for our expanding EXPAREL manufacturing capacity in Swindon, England. In addition, we made a $10.0 million equity investment and also purchased a total of $4.2 million in convertible notes. We also sold one of our equity investments for net cash proceeds of $9.1 million.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $335.2 million, which primarily consisted of a $192.6 million principal repayment of the 3.375% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Flexion 2024 Notes”) as part of a repurchase offer to the holders of the Flexion 2024 Notes that was triggered by the Flexion Acquisition, $157.0 million to settle the 2022 Notes that matured on April 1, 2022 and a $9.4 million scheduled repayment of Term Loan principal, partially offset by $21.9 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $1.8 million from the issuance of common stock through our ESPP.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $16.2 million, which consisted of proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $16.0 million and $1.6 million from the issuance of common stock through our ESPP, partially offset by the $1.3 million financing component of the $7.0 million contingent consideration payment made to MyoScience securityholders.

Debt
2026 Term Loan B Facility
In December 2021, we entered into the $375.0 million Term Loan which is secured by substantially all of our and any subsidiary guarantor’s assets and is scheduled to mature on December 7, 2026, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the term loan credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). We may elect to borrow either alternate base rate borrowings or term benchmark borrowings. Each term loan borrowing which is an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to a 1.75% floor, plus 6.00%. Each term loan borrowing which is a term benchmark borrowing bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to a 0.75% floor plus (ii) 7.00%.
The Credit Agreement requires us to, among other things, maintain (i) a first lien net leverage ratio, determined as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, of no greater than 1.75 to 1.00 and (ii) liquidity, at any time, of at least $150.0 million. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, representations and warranties, events of default and other provisions. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made a scheduled principal payment of $9.4 million. At June 30, 2022, we had $365.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan. As a result of our entry into the Term Loan, we expect our interest expense to increase in 2022. See Note 9, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
2025 Convertible Senior Notes
In July 2020, we completed a private placement of $402.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 0.750% convertible senior notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, and entered into an indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 0.750% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 2025 Notes mature on August 1, 2025. At June 30, 2022, the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes was $402.5 million. See Note 9, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
2024 Convertible Senior Notes
In November 2021, as part of the Flexion Acquisition, we assumed $201.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes. The Flexion 2024 Notes have a maturity date of May 1, 2024, are unsecured, and accrue interest at a rate of 3.375% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year. In January 2022, we repurchased $192.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Flexion 2024 Notes. At June 30, 2022, the outstanding principal on the Flexion 2024 Notes was $8.6 million. See Note 9, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion.
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments and cash received from product sales will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditure requirements and payment of the interest and principal on our Term Loan and our convertible notes, and any conversions of our Notes through the next 12 months. Our future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
the costs of successfully integrating Flexion into our existing business and expanding the commercialization of ZILRETTA;
the cost and timing of the potential Flexion milestone payments under the CVR Agreement, which could be up to an aggregate of $425.5 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met. (See Note 4, Flexion Acquisition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for more information);
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic conditions, including the amounts and delays of suspended elective surgical procedures, clinical trials, longer lead-times for or the inability to secure a sufficient supply of materials;
the timing of and extent to which the holders of our convertible senior notes elect to convert their notes and the timing of principal and interest payments on our Term Loan;
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | Page 46

Table of Contents
the timing and impact of increases to the variable interest rate on our Term Loan borrowings in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement;
the costs and our ability to successfully continue to expand the commercialization of EXPAREL, ZILRETTA and iovera°, including outside of the U.S.;
the cost and timing of expanding and maintaining our manufacturing facilities, including the current EXPAREL capacity expansion project at our Science Center Campus in San Diego, California and a ZILRETTA capital project at the Thermo Fisher site in Swindon, England;
the cost and timing of potential remaining milestone payments to MyoScience security holders, which could be up to an aggregate of $43.0 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are met (See Note 10, Financial Instruments, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for more information);
the cost and timing of additional strategic investments, including additional investments under existing agreements;
the costs related to legal and regulatory issues;
the impact of inflation on our product costs, operating expenses and business strategy;
the costs of performing additional clinical trials for our products, including the additional pediatric trials required by the FDA and EMA as a condition of approval of EXPAREL;
the costs for the development and commercialization of other product candidates;
the costs and timing of future payments under our employee benefit plans, including but not limited to our cash long-term incentive plan and non-qualified deferred compensation plan; and
the extent to which we acquire or invest in products, businesses and technologies.
We may require additional debt or equity financing to meet our future operating and capital requirements. We have no committed external sources of funds, and additional equity or debt financing may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In particular, capital market disruptions or negative economic conditions, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, may hinder our access to capital.

Critical Accounting Estimates
See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their impact or future potential impact on our financial results, if determinable. For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Contractual Obligations
Except for a new lease described in Note 7, Leases, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations relating to our indebtedness, lease obligations and purchase obligations from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. For more information on our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, see Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objective of our cash equivalents and investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income that we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. We invest in corporate bonds, commercial paper, asset-backed securities and U.S. Treasury and other government agency notes, which are reported at fair value. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the interest rate later rises, we expect that the fair value of our investment will decline. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have reduced the fair value of our available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2022 by approximately $0.6 million.
The fair values of our Notes are impacted by both the fair value of our common stock and interest rate fluctuations. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes was $1,038 per $1,000 principal amount. See Note 9, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of our Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate. At June 30, 2022, all $402.5 million of principal remains outstanding on the 2025 Notes and $8.6 million of principal remains outstanding on the Flexion 2024 Notes.
The Term Loan provided for a single-advance term loan in the principal amount of $375.0 million and is scheduled to mature on December 7, 2026. Each term loan borrowing which is an alternate base rate borrowing bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to a 1.75% floor, plus 6.00%. Each term loan borrowing which is a term benchmark borrowing bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) subject to a 0.75% floor plus (ii) 7.00%. At June 30, 2022, we had $365.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
As a result of the Flexion Acquisition and as discussed in more detail in Note 9, Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, any future conversion rights for the Flexion 2024 Notes are subject to the occurrence of any future events giving rise to such conversion rights under the indenture governing the Flexion 2024 Notes.
We have agreements with certain vendors and partners that operate in foreign jurisdictions. The more significant transactions are primarily denominated in the U.S. Dollar, subject to an annual adjustment based on changes in currency exchange rates.
Additionally, our accounts receivable are primarily concentrated with four large wholesalers of pharmaceutical products. In the event of non-performance or non-payment, there may be a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or net cash flow.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In November 2021, we acquired Flexion (now Pacira Therapeutics, Inc., or Pacira Therapeutics). As such, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures did not include the internal control over financial reporting of Pacira Therapeutics. These exclusions are consistent with the SEC Staff’s guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures that are also part of internal control over financial reporting in the 12 months following the acquisition. Assets acquired in the Flexion Acquisition (excluding goodwill, intangible assets, and their related deferred taxes which are included within the scope of the assessment) accounted for a minimal fraction of our total assets and ZILRETTA represented 16% of our total revenue as of and for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of the Flexion Acquisition, we have commenced an evaluation of the Pacira Therapeutics internal control processes and procedures and have begun incorporating those processes and procedures into our internal control framework.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
