FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements about the commercialization of FUROSCIX, including the timing and progress thereof, the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals, our plans to develop and commercialize our product candidates, the timing of our ongoing or planned clinical trials, the clinical utility of our product candidates, expectations surrounding manufacturing capabilities and supply chain matters, our commercialization capabilities and strategy, the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, our future financial performance, the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and general economic conditions on our business, and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, capital needs and capital expenditures. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future operational or financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things:
i
ii
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, then actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Quarterly Report.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
scPharmaceuticals LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 19, 2013. On March 24, 2014, scPharmaceuticals LLC was converted to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to scPharmaceuticals Inc. (“the Company”). The Company is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products that have the potential to optimize the delivery of infused therapies, advance patient care and reduce healthcare costs. The Company’s strategy is designed to enable the subcutaneous administration of therapies that have previously been limited to intravenous (“IV”) delivery. The Company’s headquarters and primary place of business is Burlington, Massachusetts.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, scPharmaceuticals Securities Corporation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2023. The Company has determined that it operates in one segment.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 are unaudited. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the Company’s audited annual financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
8
9
financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consists of bank deposits and money market accounts with financial institutions. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and which the Company believes do not have a material exposure to credit risk. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consists of the following (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of any estimated expected credit losses. The Company's measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. To date, expected credit losses have not been material.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As the Company executes its commercial launch, the Company has a limited number of specialty pharmacy customers. As of, and for the quarter ended, March 31, 2023,
Investments
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value and consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. The Company began capitalizing inventory costs following U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of FUROSCIX on October 7, 2022. Inventory is sold on a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. The Company periodically reviews inventory for expiry and obsolescence and writes it down accordingly, if necessary. Prior to FDA approval of FUROSCIX, the Company expensed all
9
10
inventory-related costs, including that used for clinical development, to research and development ("R&D") costs in the period incurred.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets, current portion of lease obligations, and long-term lease obligations on the Company’s balance sheets.
Debt Issuance Costs
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangement that the Company determines are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (“Topic 606”), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has identified one performance obligation, the delivery of FUROSCIX to its customers. The Company has not incurred any incremental costs associated with obtaining contracts with customers. The Company’s revenues consist solely of the sale of FUROSCIX to customers in the United States.
Product Net Sales
FUROSCIX was approved by the FDA on October 7, 2022. The Company launched sales of FUROSCIX in the first quarter of 2023 to specialty pharmacies (“SPs”). The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at a point in time, typically upon receipt of product at the SPs, the date at which the rights, title, interest and risk of loss are transferred. Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from (a) sales discounts, (b) rebates (c) co-pay assistance, and (d) product returns. Reserves are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales. The reserves for variable consideration are reflected as either as a reduction to the related account receivable or as an accrued liability, depending on how the consideration is settled. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in net product revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results vary from its estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.
Sales Discounts: Sales discounts are agreed-upon discounts, from negotiated contracts, taken directly off the Company’s sales invoices. Sales discounts are recorded as an offset to revenue based on contractual terms at the time revenue from the sale is recognized.
Rebates: Allowance for rebates include mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit, TRICARE program and contractual rebates with commercial payers. Rebates are amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant and are based upon contractual agreements or statutory
10
11
requirements. The allowance for rebates is based on contracted or statutory discount rates and expected utilization by benefit plan participants. The Company’s estimates for expected utilization of rebates are based on utilization data received from the SPs since product launch. Rebates are generally invoiced and paid in arrears so that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for prior quarters’ unpaid rebates. If actual future rebates vary from estimates, the Company may need to adjust prior period accruals, which would affect revenue in the period of adjustment.
Co-Payment Assistance: The Company offers co-payment assistance to commercially insured patients meeting certain eligibility requirement. Co-payment assistance is accrued at the time of product sale to SPs based on estimated patient participation and average co-pay benefit to be paid per a claim. The Company’s estimated amounts are compared to actual program participation and co-pay amounts paid using data provided by third-party administrators. If actual amounts differ from the original estimates the assumptions being applied are updated and adjustment for prior period accruals will be adjusted in the current period.
Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers SPs limited product return rights for damages, shipment errors, and expiring product, provided that the return is within a specified period around the product expiration date as set forth in the applicable individual distribution agreement. The Company does not allow product returns for product that has been dispensed to a patient. As the Company receives inventory reports from the SPs and has the ability to control the amount of product that is sold to the SPs, it is able to make a reasonable estimate of future potential product returns based on this on-hand channel inventory data and sell-through data obtained from the SPs. In arriving at its estimate, the Company also considers historical product returns, the underlying product demand, and industry data specific to the specialty pharmaceutical distribution industry.
Research and Development Costs
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured under enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is required to offset any net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company provides reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions. The tax benefits recorded are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is “more likely than not” to be realized following resolution of any uncertainty related to the tax benefit, assuming that the matter in question will be raised by the tax authorities. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of income tax expense. At March 31, 2023, the Company had
As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"), beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company is required to capitalize research and development expenses, as defined under section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. For expenses that are incurred for research and development in the United States, the amounts will be amortized over

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include unexercised stock options outstanding, unexercised warrants and unvested restricted stock units, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a fair value hierarchy, which classifies fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Valuations that require inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are both significant to the fair value measurement and observable.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying values of the Company’s cash and restricted cash, prepaid expenses and deposits approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s loan payable is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value because the Company’s interest rate is near current market rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values (in thousands):

The Company identified a number of embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the term loan and that were separately accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as one compound derivative liability. Certain of these embedded features include contingent interest rate reset upon event of default, contingent put options, including change in control and going concern provisions, and additional costs as a result of changes in law. These embedded features met the criteria requiring these to be bifurcated because they were not clearly and closely related to the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815-15 and the derivative liability is presented separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities associated with the term loan was estimated using a hybrid between the discounted cash flow and Monte Carlo simulation methods. This involves significant Level 3 inputs and assumptions including an estimated probability and timing of a change in control. The Company re-evaluates this assessment each reporting period and any changes in estimated fair value is recorded as other income (expense). The initial recognition of the embedded derivative liability upon issuance of the Term Loan was $

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2023. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report and in this Quarterly Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.
OVERVIEW
We are a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products that have the potential to optimize the delivery of infused therapies, advance patient care and reduce healthcare costs. Our strategy is designed to enable the subcutaneous administration of therapies that have previously been limited to intravenous, or IV, delivery. By moving delivery away from the high-cost healthcare settings typically required for IV administration, we believe our technology has the potential to reduce overall healthcare costs and advance the quality and convenience of care. Our approved product, FUROSCIX® (furosemide injection), consists of our novel formulation of furosemide delivered via West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.'s on-body infusor, which delivers an 80 mg dose. On October 10, 2022, we announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved FUROSCIX for the treatment of congestion due to fluid overload in adults with New York Heart Association Class II/III chronic heart failure. FUROSCIX is the first and only FDA-approved subcutaneous loop diuretic that delivers IV equivalent diuresis at home. IV equivalence was established in a clinical study in which FUROSCIX demonstrated 99.6% bioavailability (90% CI: 94.8%-104.8%) and 8-hour urine output of 2.7 L which was similar to subjects receiving intravenous furosemide. We estimate that there is a $6.9 billion total market opportunity for FUROSCIX in the United States.
The commercial launch of FUROSCIX commenced in the first quarter of 2023. We have secured positive coverage and a preferred formulary decision for FUROSCIX by a top five national commercial health plan, effective June 1, 2023, as well as national Medicaid coverage of FUROSCIX, effective July 1, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 380 total FUROSCIX prescriptions written by around 190 unique prescribers, and of these, approximately 160 FURSOCIX prescriptions had been filled and approximately 180 prescriptions were payer cleared or pending. Additionally, there were more than 500 FUROSCIX in-services completed.
We have funded our operations from inception through March 31, 2023 primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock and incurrence of debt and, prior to that, through the private placement of our preferred stock. Our first product, FUROSCIX, was approved for sale in October 2022 and became commercially available in February 2023 and, therefore, we have not generated significant revenue from product sales as of March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $237.7 million. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we support the commercialization efforts of FUROSCIX in the United States, including building our sales and marketing organization, continuing research and development efforts, engaging in scale-up manufacturing and seeking regulatory approval for new product candidates and enhancements. Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of FUROSCIX, the scope and progress of our research and development efforts and timing of certain expenses.
COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Product Revenues
Product revenues, net, consist of net sales of FUROSCIX. We initiated shipments of FUROSCIX to customers in the United States, which include specialty pharmacies, in February 2023. We recognize revenue for product received by our customers net of allowances for customer discounts, service fees, and estimated returns and rebates.
Cost of Product Revenues
Cost of product revenues include costs related to the manufacturing of FUROSCIX, including third party manufacturing costs, packaging and freight, in addition to royalty expenses. We began capitalizing inventory upon FDA approval of FUROSCIX. All
21
22
costs related to inventory for FUROSCIX prior to FDA approval were expensed as incurred and therefore not included in cost of revenues.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development ("R&D") expenses consist of the cost of engineering, clinical trials, regulatory and medical affairs and quality assurance associated with developing our proprietary technology and product candidates. R&D expenses consist primarily of:
We expense R&D costs as incurred. Given the emphasis to date on our approved product, FUROSCIX, our R&D expenses have not been allocated on a program-specific basis. In the future, we expect R&D expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to develop new products and enhance existing products and technologies. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly as we:
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel expense and stock-based compensation expense for personnel in executive, finance, commercial, field sales, human resources, facility operations and administrative functions. Other SG&A expenses include promotional activities, marketing, conferences and trade shows, professional services fees, including legal, audit and tax fees, insurance costs, general corporate expenses and allocated facilities-related expenses.
We anticipate that our SG&A expenses will increase as we continue to expand our corporate and commercial infrastructure to support the commercialization activities of FUROSCIX in the United States.

Product revenues. Product revenues were $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to no product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $2.1 million was due to the commercial launch of FUROSCIX during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Cost of product revenues. Cost of product revenues were $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to no cost of product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $0.6 million was due to the commercial launch of FUROSCIX during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Research and development expenses. R&D expenses were $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease of $2.2 million was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million decrease in clinical study and medical affairs costs, a $0.3 million decrease in employee-related costs, a $0.3 million decrease in device development costs, a $0.3 million decrease in quality and regulatory costs, and a $0.2 million decrease in pharmaceutical development costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses were $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $8.0 million was primarily attributable to a $4.8 million increase in employee-related costs, a $2.8 million increase in commercial costs, and a $0.4 million increase in legal and professional service costs.
Other income. Other income was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in income of $1.0 million was primarily attributable to the fair value adjustment to the derivative liability in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest income. Interest income was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $1.3 million was primarily attributable to higher interest rates and balances on our financial instruments.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $518,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $1.4 million was due to higher term loan balances as a result of the Oaktree Agreement which commenced October 13, 2022.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We have funded our operations from inception through March 31, 2023 primarily through the sale of shares of our common stock, through the private placement of our preferred stock and the incurrence of debt. As of March 31, 2023, we had received net cash proceeds of $92.7 million from our initial public offering; $56.7 million from sales of our preferred stock; $48.6 million from borrowings under our previous term loan with SLR Investment Corp. and Silicon Valley Bank and our current term loan under the Oaktree Agreement in 2022, net; $13.5 million from sales of convertible notes; $50.2 million from our public offering of common stock in 2020; $46.6 million from our public offering of common stock in 2022; $14.4 million from the sale of common stock in our 2019 at-the-market offering; and $14.8 million from the sale of common stock in our 2021 at-the-market offering. As of March 31,
23
24
2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $75.5 million and short-term investments of $40.6 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are maintained at a number of financial institutions in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits.
On March 23, 2021, we entered into the 2021 ATM Agreement with Cowen to sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, with aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million, through an at-the-market equity offering program under which Cowen will act as our sales agent. As of March 31, 2023, we had received $14.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the 2021 ATM Agreement. Please see Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
On October 13, 2022, we entered into the Oaktree Agreement which established a $100.0 million term loan facility, consisting of (i) $50.0 million funded immediately, (ii) $25.0 million that we may borrow in up to two draws on or prior to September 30, 2024 and (iii) $25.0 million that we may borrow on or prior to December 31, 2024. Our ability to draw the remaining $50.0 million is contingent upon reaching certain net sales revenue milestone targets prior to September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Please see Note 9. Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for additional information.
We expect to incur substantial additional expenditures in the near future to support our ongoing activities and commercialization of FUROSCIX. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, including the available proceeds from the first tranche of the Oaktree Agreement, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report. We expect our costs and expenses to increase in the future as we continue U.S. commercialization of FUROSCIX, including the expansion]of our direct sales force, and as we continue to make substantial expenditures on research and development, including to increase our manufacturing capacity and for conducting clinical trials of our product candidates. In connection with such development plans and activities, if we determine that we need additional cash resources, we would seek to access such funds either pursuant to our 2021 ATM Agreement or through a combination of public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Additionally, we continue to incur additional costs as a result of operating as a public company. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
Additional financing may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We may raise funds in equity, royalty-based or debt financings or enter into additional credit facilities in order to access funds for our capital needs. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our Company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we raise additional funds through royalty-based financing arrangements, we will likely agree to relinquish rights to potentially valuable future revenue streams and may agree to covenants that restrict our operations or strategic flexibility. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future would cause us to incur additional debt service expenses and could include restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and pursue business opportunities. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, we may terminate or delay the development of one or more of our products, delay clinical trials necessary to market our products, or delay establishment or expansion of sales and marketing capabilities or other activities necessary to commercialize our products. For example, the trading prices for our and other biopharmaceutical companies’ securities have been highly volatile as a result of macroeconomic conditions and developments in our industry. As a result, we may face difficulties raising capital through sales of our securities and any such sales may be on unfavorable terms. Additionally, our ability to raise capital may be further impacted by global macroeconomic conditions including, for example, as a result of international political conflict, supply chain issues and rising inflation and interest rates.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $16.5 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $11.2 million and an increase in net operating assets of $5.3 million. This was offset by non-cash charges of $54,000. The increase in net operating assets is related to accounts receivable and inventory to support the launch of FUROSCIX. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation, amortization related to our right-of-use leased assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense related to amortization of debt discount associated with the Oaktree Agreement, the fair value adjustment to the derivative liability and accretion of premium on investments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $7.4 million, consisting primarily of a net loss of $7.7 million and an increase in net operating assets of $0.5 million. This was offset by non-cash charges of $0.8 million, which primarily consisted of depreciation, amortization related to our right of use leased assets, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense related to amortization of debt discount associated with the 2019 Loan Agreement and accretion of discount on investments. The increase in net operating assets was related to accrued expenses for employee-related, pharmaceutical and device development costs.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $7.0 million, consisting of maturities of short-term investments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $12.8 million, consisting primarily of purchases of short-term investments, net of maturities.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was $13.7 million, consisting of proceeds from the 2021 ATM Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $2.5 million, consisting primarily of principal term loan payments, offset by stock option exercises.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There were no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report.
25
26
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have updated our critical accounting policies to include accounts receivable and revenue recognition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
We contract with vendors in foreign countries. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates of foreign currencies, principally the Swiss franc and the Euro, associated with our foreign transactions. We believe this exposure to be immaterial. We currently do not hedge against this exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Our exposure to market risk also relates to interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. As of March 31, 2023, our aggregate outstanding indebtedness was $50.0 million, which bears interest per annum equal to three-month term SOFR (subject to a 1.00% floor and a 3.00% cap), plus applicable margin of 8.75%. Due to the short-term duration of our indebtedness, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our debt instruments.
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business. However, if our costs, in particular costs related to manufacture and supply, were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, it may adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of such date are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

27
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual Report"), which was filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
