NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Operations
Innoviva, Inc. (and where context requires, together with its subsidiaries referred to as “Innoviva”, the “Company”, or “we” and other similar pronouns) is a company with a portfolio of royalties and innovative healthcare assets. Our royalty portfolio contains respiratory assets partnered with Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”), including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol, “FF/VI”) and ANORO® ELLIPTA® (umeclidinium bromide/ vilanterol, “UMEC/VI”), and up until July 2022, TRELEGY® ELLIPTA® (the combination FF/UMEC/VI). We sold our
We expanded our portfolio of royalties and innovative healthcare assets through the acquisition of Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (“Entasis”) on July 11, 2022 and the acquisition of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (“La Jolla”) on August 22, 2022. Our commercial and marketed products include GIAPREZA® (angiotensin II), approved to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock, and XERAVA® (eravacycline) for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections in adults. Our development pipeline includes medicines for the treatment of bacterial infections, such as our lead asset sulbactam-durlobactam (“SUL-DUR”). As such, we have a wholly owned robust infectious disease and hospital operating platform, as well as other assets in these areas, such as a large equity stake in Armata Pharmaceuticals, a leader in bacteriophage development with potential use across a range of infectious and other serious diseases. We also have economic interests in other healthcare companies.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as audited consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of all normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any other periods.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innoviva, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, we record net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2023, and as amended on March 20, 2023.

Presentation Reclassification
Amounts in equity and long-term investments and changes in fair value of equity and long-term investments, net, reported in the Company's comparative financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no net effect on the net income or net cash flows as previously reported.
Factors Affecting Comparability
Our historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either between periods or going forward due to the factors below and as discussed in Note 5, “Consolidated Entities and Acquisitions”.
Use of Management’s Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management evaluates its significant accounting policies and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates also form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities when these values are not readily apparent from other sources.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and of Significant Suppliers and Partner
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and equity and long-term investments. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
We are dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) and drug products for research and development and commercial programs. These programs could be adversely affected by significant interruption in the supply of API or drug products.
Currently, we derive most of our revenues from GSK and our near-term success depends in large part on GSK’s ability to successfully develop and commercialize the products in the respiratory programs partnered with GSK. Our near-term success depends in large part upon the performance by GSK of its commercial obligations under the GSK Agreements and the commercial success of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®. If GSK does not devote sufficient resources to the commercialization or development of these products, is unsuccessful in its efforts, or chooses to reprioritize its commercial programs, our business would be materially harmed. GSK is responsible for all clinical and other product development, regulatory, manufacturing and commercialization activities for products developed under the GSK Agreements, including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®. Our quarterly royalty revenues may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our royalty revenues under the GSK Agreements may not meet our analysts’ or investors’ expectations due to a number of important factors.
We also started recognizing revenue from product sales as a result of our acquisition of La Jolla. Hospitals and other healthcare organizations generally purchase our products through a network of specialty distributors. These specialty distributors, which are located in the U.S., are considered our customers for accounting purposes. We do not believe that the loss of one of these distributors would significantly impact our ability to distribute our products, as we expect that sales volume would be absorbed by new or remaining distributors.
Refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Segment Reporting
We operate in a single segment, which is to provide capital return to stockholders by maximizing the potential value of our portfolio of royalties and innovative healthcare assets. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of Innoviva at the consolidated level using information about our revenues, operating results and other key financial data as needed. Our revenues are generated primarily from our collaborative arrangements and royalty payments from GSK, located in Great Britain. Refer to Note 3, “Revenue Recognition”, for more information on our revenues for the periods presented. We also generate revenue from net sales of GIAPREZA® and XERAVA®. Our long-term assets are located within the United States.
Variable Interest Entities
The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE’) is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. When we obtain a variable interest in another entity, we assess at the inception of the relationship and upon occurrence of certain significant events whether the entity is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
To assess whether we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, we consider all the facts and circumstances, including our role in establishing the VIE and our ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE (management and representation on the Board of Directors) and have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
To assess whether we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider all of our economic interests that are deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires us to apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE.
Business Combination
When we acquire an entity in a business combination, we recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and establish the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. We recognize and measure goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Acquisition-related expenses and related restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.
Several valuation methods may be used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. For intangible assets, we typically use the income method. This method starts with a forecast of all of the expected future net cash flows for each asset. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the income method or other methods include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic barriers to entry. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimates for prompt-pay discounts, chargebacks, returns and rebates. Allowances for prompt-pay discounts and chargebacks are based on contractual terms. We estimate the allowance for credit losses based on existing contractual payment terms, actual payment patterns of customers and individual customer circumstances.
12
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value on a first in, first out basis. We periodically analyze inventory levels and write down inventory as cost of products sold when the following occurs: inventory has become obsolete, inventory has a cost basis in excess of its estimated net realizable value, or inventory quantities are in excess of expected product sales.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recognized as the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired entity over the fair value assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized and are tested for impairment at least annually on the first day of December of each year or more frequently if indicators for potential impairment exist or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying asset amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective remaining useful lives and are tested for impairment only if indicators for potential impairment exist or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Significant judgment may be involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred.
Operating Leases
Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and include any lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date and are reduced by lease incentives. Lease liabilities represent the present value of the total lease payments over the lease term, calculated using an estimated incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
Equity and Long-Term Investments
We invest from time to time in equity and debt securities of private or public companies. If we determine that we have control over these companies under either voting or VIE models, we consolidate them in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If we determine that we do not have control over these companies under either voting or VIE models, we then determine if we have an ability to exercise significant influence via voting interests, board representation or other business relationships.
We may account for the investments where we exercise significant influence using either an equity method of accounting or at fair value by electing the fair value option under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments. If the fair value option is applied to an investment that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method, we apply it to all our financial interests in the same entity (equity and debt, including guarantees) that are eligible items. All gains and losses from fair value changes, unrealized and realized, are presented as changes in fair values of equity method investments, net, and changes in fair values of equity and long-term investments, net, within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
If we conclude that we do not have an ability to exercise significant influence over an investee, we may elect to account for the security without a readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative method under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. This measurement alternative method allows us to measure the equity investment at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
We also invest in ISP Fund LP, which investments consist of money market funds, trading and equity and debt securities in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement entered in December 2020, we became a limited partner of this partnership, and our contributions are subject to a 36-month lock-up period which restriction prevents us from having control and access to the contributions and related investments. These investments are classified as long-term investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
13
Revenue Recognition
We apply the guidance on principal versus agent considerations under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to determine the appropriate treatment for the transactions between us and third parties. The classification of transactions under our arrangements is determined based on the nature and contractual terms of the arrangement along with the nature of the operations of the participants. Any consideration related to activities in which we are considered the principal, which includes being in control of the good or service before such good or service is transferred to the customer, are accounted for as product sales.
Revenue is recognized when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized through a five-step process: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price for the contract; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue as a performance obligation is satisfied.
Royalty Revenue
We recognize the royalty revenue on net sales of products with respect to which we have contractual royalty rights in the period in which the royalties are earned. The net sales reports provided by our partner are based on its methodology and assumptions to estimate rebates and returns, which it monitors and adjusts regularly in light of contractual and legal obligations, historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions. Our partner may make significant adjustments to its sales based on actual results recorded, which could cause our royalty revenue to fluctuate. We conduct periodic royalty audits to evaluate the information provided by our partner. Royalties are recognized net of amortization of capitalized fees associated with any approval and launch milestone payments made to GSK.
Revenue from Product Sales
Revenue from product sales is recognized when our customers obtain control of the product and is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration consisting of chargebacks, discounts, returns and rebates. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected-value amount method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results vary materially from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which will affect revenue from product sales and earnings in the period such estimates are adjusted. These items may include:
We continue to assess our estimates of variable consideration as we accumulate additional historical data and will adjust these estimates accordingly.
14
License Revenue
At the inception of a licensing arrangement that includes development and regulatory milestone payments, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price. We generally include these milestone payments in the transaction price when they are achieved because there is considerable uncertainty in the research and development processes that trigger receipt of these payments under our agreements. Similarly, we include approval milestone payments in the transaction price once the product is approved by the applicable regulatory agency.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are recognized in the period that services are rendered or goods are received. Research and development expenses consist of salaries and benefits, laboratory supplies, facilities and other overhead costs, research-related manufacturing costs, contract service and clinical-related service costs performed by third party research organizations, research institutions and other outside service providers. Non-refundable prepayments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. We also utilize significant judgment and estimates to record accruals for estimated ongoing research costs based on the progress of the studies and progress of research manufacturing activities.
Interest Expense on Deferred Royalty Obligation
Interest expense related to the deferred royalty obligation is recognized over the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation using the effective interest method. The assumptions used in determining the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation require us to make estimates that could impact the effective interest rate. Each reporting period, we estimate the expected repayment term of the deferred royalty obligation based on forecasted net sales of GIAPREZA®. Changes in interest expense resulting from changes in the effective interest rate, if any, are recorded on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 11, “Debt” for more information.
2. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share attributable to Innoviva stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to Innoviva stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per share attributable to Innoviva stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to Innoviva stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common stock equivalents then outstanding. Dilutive potential common stock equivalents include the assumed exercise, vesting and issuance of employee stock awards using the treasury stock method, as well as common stock issuable upon assumed conversion of our convertible subordinated notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) up until its maturity date on January 15, 2023, our convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and our convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) using the if-converted method.

We account for our investments in InCarda under the measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the equity investment is initially recorded at its allocated cost, but the carrying value may be adjusted through earnings upon an impairment or when there is an observable price change involving the same or a similar investment with the same issuer. Due to InCarda’s equity recapitalization in the second quarter of 2022, TRC reassessed the value of its investments in InCarda using the Option Pricing Model Backsolve valuation methodology. Key assumptions used in the valuation model included an expected holding period of

On March 14, 2023, ITH entered into a securities purchase agreement with ImaginAb to purchase
Our investment in ImaginAb does not provide us with the ability to control or have significant influence over ImaginAb’s operations. Based on our evaluation, we determined that ImaginAb is a VIE, but we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We have not provided financial or other support that we were not previously contractually required to provide during the periods presented. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the amount we invested in the entity.
Because ImaginAb’s equity securities are not publicly traded and do not have a readily determinable fair value, we account for our investment in ImaginAb’s Series C preferred stock, Series C-2 preferred stock and common stock using the measurement alternative.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Gate Convertible Note was estimated at $

Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the amount we invested in the entity.
Because Nanolive’s equity securities are not publicly traded and do not have a readily determinable fair value, we account for our investment in Nanolive’s Series C preferred stock using the measurement alternative. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $

The fair values of our equity investments in Armata’s common stock and publicly traded investments held by ISP Fund LP are based on the quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. The fair values of the warrants in Armata classified within Level 2 are based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications.
InCarda’s certain equity securities, the Gate Convertible Note, the Armata Convertible Note, private placement positions and convertible notes held by ISP Fund LP, and contingent value rights are classified as Level 3 financial instruments as these securities are not publicly traded and the assumptions used in the valuation model for valuing these securities are based on significant unobservable and observable inputs including those of publicly traded peer companies.
The fair values of our 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes are based on recent trading prices of the respective instruments. The fair values of our 2023 Notes, which were fully paid off in January 2023, were also measured based on their trading prices.

Prior to September 15, 2027, the 2028 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of specified events and during certain periods, and will be convertible on or after September 15, 2027, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2028 Notes.
Holders of the 2028 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2028 Notes prior to the close of business on September 15, 2027, only under the following circumstances:
On or after September 15, 2027, holders of the 2028 Notes may convert their 2028 Notes at any time until the close of the business on the second day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2028 Notes.
The 2028 Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after March 20, 2025, and on or before the 75th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the 2028 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any 2028 Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes) with respect to that 2028 Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2028 Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
If we undergo a fundamental change, subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to purchase for cash all or any portion of their 2028 Notes. The fundamental change purchase price will be

Deferred Royalty Obligation
As part of our acquisition of La Jolla, we recorded the fair value of its deferred royalty obligation in connection with La Jolla’s royalty financing agreement (“La Jolla Royalty Agreement”) with HealthCare Royalty Partners (“HCR”). Under the terms of the La Jolla Royalty Agreement, HCR is entitled to receive quarterly royalties on worldwide net sales of GIAPREZA® until either January 1, 2031 or when the maximum aggregate royalty payments have been made, whichever occurs first. Quarterly payments to HCR under the Royalty Agreement start at a maximum royalty rate, with step-downs based on the achievement of annual net product sales thresholds. The current maximum royalty rate is

Under the terms of the La Jolla Royalty Agreement, if we are unable to meet certain obligations, including the obligation to use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to commercialize GIAPREZA®, HCR would have the right to terminate the La Jolla Royalty Agreement and demand payment of either $
Certain contract provisions within the La Jolla Royalty Agreement that could result in an acceleration of amounts due under the La Jolla Royalty Agreement are recognized as embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the deferred royalty obligation and fair value recognition. We determined the fair value of each derivative by assessing the probability of each event occurring, as well as the potential repayment amounts and timing of such repayments that would result under various scenarios. As a result of this assessment, we determined that the fair value of the embedded derivatives is immaterial and, therefore, not recognized as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivatives for each reporting period until either the features lapse or the La Jolla Royalty Agreement is terminated, whichever occurs first. Any material change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives will be recorded as either a gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings except as discussed below.
On February 15, 2022, La Jolla received a paragraph IV notice of certification (the “Notice Letter”) from Gland Pharma Limited (“Gland”) advising that Gland had submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) to the FDA seeking approval to manufacture, use or sell a generic version of GIAPREZA® in the U.S. prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos.: 9,220,745; 9,572,856; 9,867,863; 10,028,995; 10,335,451; 10,493,124; 10,500,247; 10,548,943; 11,096,983; and 11,219,662 (the “GIAPREZA® Patents”), which are listed in the FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the “Orange Book”). The Notice Letter alleges that the GIAPREZA® Patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the generic product described in Gland’s ANDA.
On March 29, 2022, La Jolla filed a complaint for patent infringement of the GIAPREZA® Patents against Gland and certain related entities in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in response to Gland’s ANDA filing. In accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act, because GIAPREZA® is a new chemical entity and La Jolla filed a complaint for patent infringement within 45 days of receipt of the Notice Letter, the FDA cannot approve Gland’s ANDA any earlier than 7.5 years from the approval of the GIAPREZA® NDA unless the District Court finds that all of the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. We intend to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights relating to GIAPREZA®.
Given the early stage of this matter, we cannot reasonably estimate a potential future loss or a range of potential future losses, if any, and have not recorded a contingent liability accrual as of March 31, 2023.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to vendors, directors, officers, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, our negligence or willful misconduct, violations of law, or intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers, or employees. No material demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements, and thus, there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We also maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors. To date, we have not incurred any material costs and have not accrued any material liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of these provisions.

OVERVIEW
Executive Summary
Innoviva, Inc. (and where context requires, together with its subsidiaries referred to as “Innoviva”, the “Company”, or “we” and other similar pronouns) is a company with a portfolio of royalties and innovative healthcare assets. Our royalty portfolio contains respiratory assets partnered with Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”), including RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol, “FF/VI”) and ANORO® ELLIPTA® (umeclidinium bromide/ vilanterol, “UMEC/VI”), and up until July 2022,
38
TRELEGY® ELLIPTA® (the combination FF/UMEC/VI). We sold our 15% ownership interest in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (“TRC”) on July 20, 2022, and are no longer entitled to receive royalties on sales of TRELEGY® ELLIPTA® products. Under the Long-Acting Beta2 Agonist (“LABA”) Collaboration Agreement, Innoviva is entitled to receive royalties from GSK on sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® as follows: 15% on the first $3.0 billion of annual global net sales and 5% for all annual global net sales above $3.0 billion; and royalties from the sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA®, which tier upward at a range from 6.5% to 10%.
We expanded our portfolio of royalties and innovative healthcare assets through the acquisition of Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (“Entasis”) on July 11, 2022 and the acquisition of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (“La Jolla”) on August 22, 2022. Our commercial and marketed products include GIAPREZA® (angiotensin II), approved to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock, and XERAVA® (eravacycline) approved for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections in adults. Our development pipeline includes medicines for the treatment of bacterial infections, such as our lead asset sulbactam-durlobactam (“SUL-DUR”). As such, we have a wholly owned robust infectious disease and hospital operating platform, as well as other assets in these areas, such as a large equity stake in Armata Pharmaceuticals, a leader in bacteriophage development with potential use across a range of infectious and other serious diseases. We also have economic interests in other healthcare companies.
Our corporate strategy is currently focused on increasing stockholder value by, among other things, maximizing the potential value of our respiratory assets partnered with GSK, optimizing our operations and augmenting capital allocation. We continue to diversify our royalty management business through actively pursuing opportunistic acquisitions of promising companies and assets in the healthcare industry and enhancing the returns on our capital. In particular, our recent acquisitions of Entasis and La Jolla created a robust hospital and infectious disease platform.

Collaboration Arrangement with GSK
LABA Collaboration
In November 2002, we entered into the LABA collaboration with GSK to develop and commercialize once-daily LABA products for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (“COPD”) and asthma (the “LABA Collaboration Agreement”). For the treatment of COPD, the collaboration has developed three combination products:
As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, in accordance with the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we paid milestone fees to GSK totaling $220.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. Although we have no further milestone payment obligations to GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we continue to have ongoing commercialization activities under the LABA Collaboration Agreement, including participation in the joint steering committee that are expected to continue over the life of the agreement. The milestone fees paid to GSK were recognized as capitalized fees, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon the commercial launch of the products.
As mentioned above, on July 20, 2022, we sold our ownership interest in TRC, which received royalty payments from GSK stemming from sales of TRELEGY® ELLIPTA®. We retained our royalty rights with respect to RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. 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. We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023, and as amended on March 20, 2023.
Factors Affecting Comparability

Total net royalty revenue decreased to $56.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $90.1 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease of total net royalty revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period a year ago was primarily due to the sale of our ownership interest in TRC, which received royalties stemming from sales of TRELEGY® ELLIPTA®. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was a decrease in the net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® due to pricing pressures in the U.S. market and foreign currency rate changes.
Net Product Sales
Net product sales we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $11.5 million, consisting of net sales of GIAPREZA® and XERAVA® for $9.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

The interest expense included the contractual interest expense and the amortization of debt issuance costs for our 2023 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes, as well as effective interest expense on our deferred royalty obligation. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included the amount on the 2023 Notes until the notes were fully paid off on January 15, 2023. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included the amount on the 2028 Notes from March 7, 2022, the date of issuance, through March 31, 2022. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to March 31, 2022, was mainly due to interest expense on our deferred royalty obligation and a higher average debt balance.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
We recognized a loss of $20.7 million due to the total premium payment of $20.4 million and the write-off of $0.3 million debt issuance costs in connection with the repurchase of $144.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2023 Notes in March 2022.

The changes in fair values of equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 posted a gain compared to a loss position during the same period in 2022 mainly due to Armata’s higher stock price in 2023. The changes in fair values of other equity and long-term investments primarily reflected the realized gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses in our strategic investments in InCarda, Gate, and those investments managed by ISP Fund LP.
Provision for Income Taxes
We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $6.3 million for the three March 31, 2023, compared to provision for income tax expense of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 15.3%.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represented $25.1 million for the 85% share of net income in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC for Theravance Biopharma and $3.0 million for the 40% share of net loss in Entasis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.
There is no noncontrolling interest in any of our subsidiaries in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of equity and debt securities and payments received under collaboration arrangement. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated gross royalty revenues from GSK of $60.3 million, net product sales of $11.5 million and license revenue of $8.0 million. Net cash and cash equivalents totaled $144.0 million, royalties receivables from GSK totaled $60.3 million and accounts receivable associated with our product sales and license revenue totaled $15.5 million as of March 31, 2023.
Adequacy of Cash Resources to Meet Future Needs
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated debt service and operating needs, as well our ongoing share repurchase program, for at least the next 12 months based upon current operating plans and financial forecasts. Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors including the amount of our royalty revenues, sales growth of our currently marketed products, timing of regulatory approval of our product candidates and outcome of our acquisitions and strategic investments. If our current operating plans and financial forecasts change, we may require additional funding sooner in the form of public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Furthermore, if in our view favorable financing opportunities arise, we may seek additional funding in the form of public or private equity offerings or debt financings at any time. However, future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could leave us without adequate financial resources to fund our operations as currently planned. In addition, from time to time we may restructure or reduce our debt, including through privately negotiated repurchases, tender offers, redemptions, amendments, or otherwise, all allowable with the terms of our debt agreements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $25.7 million, consisting primarily of our net income of $34.9 million, adjusted for net non-cash items, which included $13.7 million of net changes in fair value of our investments, $6.8 million of amortization of inventory fair value step-up adjustment, $3.5 million of amortization of capitalized fees and depreciation of property and equipment and $3.8 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets partially offset by increases of $6.1 million in accounts receivable, $5.6 million in receivables from collaboration arrangement and decreases of $3.5 million in accrued interest payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $98.1 million, consisting primarily of our net income of $37.9 million, adjusted for net non-cash items such as $6.9 million of deferred income tax, $3.5 million of depreciation and amortization, $20.7 million of loss on extinguishment of debt, and $9.4 million decrease in the fair value of our equity and long-term investments and a decrease in receivables from collaborative arrangements of $17.2 million, offset by a reduction of accrued interest payable of $2.8 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $35.7 million primarily consisted of $35.7 million in purchases of equity and other long-term investments and $3.9 million in purchases of equity investments managed by ISP Fund LP. The use of cash for investing activities was partially offset by net proceeds of $3.9 million from the sale of equity and other investments managed by ISP Fund LP.
44
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $143.2 million was primarily due to $134.3 million of purchases of equity and other investments managed by ISP Fund LP and $56.2 million investments in Armata, InCarda, and Nanolive, partially offset by $24.3 million of sales of equity investments managed by ISP Fund LP and $23.1 million of cash acquired through the consolidation of Entasis.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $137.0 million was primarily due to the payments of $96.2 million upon maturity of the 2023 Notes in January 2023 and $40.7 million for the repurchase of common stock under our current stock repurchase program.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $60.3 million was primarily due to the net proceeds of $252.8 million from the issuance of the convertible senior notes due in 2028, offset with $21.0 million purchase of capped call options associated with the 2028 Notes, $165.1 million for the repurchase of the 2023 Notes, and $6.5 million distributions to noncontrolling interest.
Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2023, our notes payable obligation included $192.5 million related to our 2025 Notes and $261.0 million related to our 2028 Notes, which are due in 2025 and 2028, respectively. Under the terms of the 2025 Notes and 2028 Notes, we will make interest payments of 2.5% and 2.125%, respectively, of outstanding principal. Refer to Note 11, “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Our short-term and long-term obligations also include contractual payments related to our operating leases were $3.7 million, with approximately $1.2 million payable through December 31, 2023 and approximately $1.3 million payable in each of the years 2024 and 2025. Refer to Note 12, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
As part of our acquisition of La Jolla, we recognized its deferred royalty obligation in connection with La Jolla Royalty Agreement with HCR. Under the terms of the Agreement, HCR is entitled to receive quarterly royalties on worldwide net sales of GIAPREZA® until either January 1, 2031 or when the maximum aggregate royalty payments have been made, whichever occurs first. Quarterly payments to HCR under the Royalty Agreement start at a maximum royalty rate, with step-downs based on the achievement of annual net product sales thresholds. The current maximum royalty rate is 14%. Starting January 1, 2024, the maximum royalty rate may increase by an additional 4%, if an agreed-upon, cumulative net product sales threshold has not been met. The La Jolla Royalty Agreement is subject to maximum aggregate royalty payments to HCR of $225.0 million.
Additionally, we have certain contingent payment obligations under various in-license agreements which we are required to make royalty payments or milestone payments upon successful completion and achievement of certain milestones. Refer to Note 4, “License and Collaboration Arrangements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
We also enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for manufacturing, clinical trials and preclinical studies, and other services and products for operating purposes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
As of March 31, 2023, our debt bears fixed interest rates and we had no outstanding debt with variable interest rate. Our cash flows on these debt obligations are not subject to variability as a result of changes in interest rates.
We are exposed to changes in the fair value of certain or our investments in equity and debt securities. Fluctuations in the underlying fair value of the investments could result in material gains or losses. Refer to Note 6 “Equity and Long-Term Investments and Fair Value Measurements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Inflation has increased in recent periods and could continue to increase for the near future. Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of our raw materials, supplies, interest rates and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future if inflation rates continue to rise. Significant adverse changes in inflation and prices in the future could result in material losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation as of March 31, 2023, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined under SEC rules as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance levels.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all frauds. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Innoviva have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We completed our acquisitions of Entasis and La Jolla in 2022. We continue the process of integrating the acquired operations and processes into our internal control environment and implementing necessary changes to our internal control over financial reporting, including, but not limited, to the creation of new controls related to inventory management, research and development activities and product sales.
Other than the above, there have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) 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.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As previously disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by La Jolla on August 15, 2022, on February 15, 2022, La Jolla received a paragraph IV notice of certification (the “Notice Letter”) from Gland Pharma Limited (“Gland”) advising that Gland had submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) to the FDA seeking approval to manufacture, use or sell a generic version of GIAPREZA® in the U.S. prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos.: 9,220,745; 9,572,856; 9,867,863; 10,028,995; 10,335,451; 10,493,124; 10,500,247; 10,548,943; 11,096,983; and 11,219,662 (the “GIAPREZA® Patents”), which are listed in the FDA’s Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the “Orange Book”). The Notice Letter alleges that the GIAPREZA® Patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the generic product described in Gland’s ANDA.
On March 29, 2022, La Jolla filed a complaint for patent infringement of the GIAPREZA® Patents against Gland and certain related entities in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in response to Gland’s ANDA filing. In accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act, because GIAPREZA® is a new chemical entity and La Jolla filed a complaint for patent infringement within 45 days of receipt of the Notice Letter, the FDA cannot approve Gland’s ANDA any earlier than 7.5 years from the approval of the GIAPREZA® NDA unless the District Court finds that all of the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed. The Company and La Jolla intend to vigorously enforce their intellectual property rights relating to GIAPREZA®.

Re: Transition Agreement
Dear Larry,
This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is intended to confirm our mutual understanding with respect to your employment with Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) from and after the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). Reference is made to that certain (i) letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020 and amended as of August 16, 2021, by and between you and the Company, setting forth the terms of your employment with the Company (the “Prior Agreement”), and (ii) Inventions and Assignment Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2020, by and between you and the Company (the “RCA”).
By signing this Agreement, you hereby resign from all positions that you hold at the Company and each of their respective subsidiaries (other than your position as President of La Jolla as described herein), effective as of 12:00am on the Effective Date, and the Company hereby accepts such resignations.
During the period (the “Transition Period”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending on March 31, 2023 (or on such earlier date as determined by you or the Company) (the date of such termination is referred to herein as the “Separation Date”), the Company will continue to employ you. During the Transition Period, you shall initially have the title of President of La Jolla, but your title may be changed to Advisor at any time during the Transition Period in the sole discretion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). During the Transition Period, you shall report to the CEO and shall have such job duties and responsibilities as requested from time to time by the CEO, which duties and responsibilities may include continuing to perform your duties and responsibilities consistent with past practice and assisting with the transition of such duties and responsibilities to other employees of the Company and its direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, and including their respective successors and assigns, the “Group Companies”) as designated from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will you have any policy making function during the Transition Period. During the Transition Period, you agree to devote all of your business time and attention to your work for the Company. You will not, during your employment with the Company, (i) accept or maintain any other employment, or (ii) engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that interferes with your duties and responsibilities as a Company employee or create a conflict of interest with any Group Company.
During the Transition Period, you will continue to receive your base salary of $583,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. You will also be eligible to participate during your employment in all employee benefits plans sponsored by the Company from time to time and in effect for similarly situated employees of the Company. In addition, you will continue to be eligible to receive a bonus in respect of your services during the 2022 calendar year (the “2022 Bonus”), with an amount equal to $227,370 payable at the same time the Company pays 2022 bonuses to other similarly-situated employees (but in all events by March 3, 2023) subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement through such date. The remainder of the 2022 Bonus shall be determined solely in the CEO’s discretion (with a target amount equal to $122,430) and will be paid to you on or after the Separation Date (but no later than forty-five (45) days following the Separation Date) subject to you satisfaction of the Conditions (as defined below). You will not be entitled to any bonus
compensation in respect of calendar years 2023 or later. From and after the Effective Date, you will not be entitled to any new equity or equity-based awards.
Your employment with the Company will automatically terminate effective as of the close of business on the Separation Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the termination of your employment at the end of the Transition Period (provided that you do not resign prior to March 31, 2023 and that you otherwise comply with your obligations hereunder) will be treated as a termination by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Prior Agreement) within 12 months after a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Prior Agreement) under the terms of the Prior Agreement, but that you will not be eligible for any severance payments or benefits pursuant to the Prior Agreement upon such termination or any other termination and that your eligibility to receive the Severance (as defined below) is in lieu of any such payments or benefits pursuant to the Prior Agreement or otherwise. Following the Separation Date, you will receive any accrued but unused paid time off payable in accordance with the Company’s policies, as well as any other payments or benefits required under applicable law. In addition, subject to (i) your continued employment with the Company through March 31, 2023 (or an earlier termination of your employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Prior Agreement) or by you for Good Reason (as defined in the Prior Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement)), (ii) your best efforts to achieve completion of your duties and responsibilities during your engagement with the Company, (iii) your execution, delivery to the Company and non-revocation of a general release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) that becomes effective within thirty (30) days following the Separation Date, (iv) your continued compliance with this Agreement and with any confidentiality, invention assignment, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-interference, non-disparagement or similar obligations of yours with respect to any Group Company (including the RCA, this Agreement and the Release), and (v) you not engaging in any conduct that constitutes Cause (collectively, (i) through (v) being, the “Conditions”):
If you fail to timely execute the Release, or revoke your acceptance of such Release following its execution, you will not be entitled to receive any of the payments or benefits set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above (collectively, “Severance”). In no event will you be entitled to any Severance if, prior to March 31, 2023, you resign from your employment with the Company without Good Reason or your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause.
You acknowledge and agree that your right to Severance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is in full discharge of any and all severance, separation or termination based liabilities and obligations of the Group Companies to you arising under any alleged written or oral employment or service agreement, policy, plan or procedure of any Group Company and/or any alleged understanding or arrangement between you and any Group Company.
2
You acknowledge and agree that the Company may withhold and deposit all federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are owed with respect to all amounts paid or benefits provided to or for you by the Company that are in consideration for your employment services. Payments under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), and this Agreement will be interpreted to achieve this result. For purposes of this Agreement, each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event is the Company responsible for any tax or penalty owed by you (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A) with respect to payments under this Agreement.
You acknowledge that you and the Company may mutually agree to continue your engagement with the Company after the Separation Date as a strategic advisor, pursuant to such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by you and the Company at a later date.
By signing below, you represent and warrant to the Company that your provision of services hereunder will not violate any applicable law and covenant and agree to comply with all applicable laws in providing such services. You acknowledge that you are in possession of material non-public information regarding the Group Companies and that you will be bound by the Group Companies’ policies during the Transition Period, including with respect to securities trading restrictions.
You acknowledge that, during the course of your engagement, you will have access to, and be in close contact with, confidential and proprietary information about the Group Companies.

You understand that “Confidential Information” means confidential or proprietary trade secrets, client lists, client identities and information, information regarding service providers, investment methodologies, marketing plans, sales plans, management organization information, operating policies or manuals, business plans or operations or techniques, financial records or data, or other financial, commercial, business or technical information relating to the Group Companies, or that any Group Company may receive belonging to clients, accounts, customers or others who do business with any Group Company.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit you from (x) filing a charge or complaint with, participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, or reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any federal, state or local government agency, or (y) truthfully responding to or complying with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, provided that you agree to forgo any monetary benefit from the filing of a charge or complaint with a government agency except pursuant to a whistleblower program or where your right to receive such a monetary benefit is otherwise not waivable by law.

performing your duties for the Group Companies, (ii) by utilizing any Group Company’s office space, equipment, supplies or facilities and/or (iii) by utilizing Confidential Information.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that during the Transition Period and during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Separation Date you will not, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on your behalf or on behalf of a third party, (i) encourage, hire, recruit, solicit, persuade or induce, or in any manner attempt to encourage, hire, solicit, persuade or induce, any person who is employed by, or performing services as an independent contractor for, the Company, Entasis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., Innoviva, Inc. and any of their respective subsidiaries (collectively, and including their respective successors and assigns, the “Group”) as of or following the Effective Date (or who was an employee or independent contractor of the Group as of or following the Effective Date or at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the Separation Date) to terminate such person’s employment or services (or in the case of a consultant, materially reducing such services) or otherwise interfere in any way with such relationship, or (ii) encourage, recruit, solicit, persuade or induce, or in any manner attempt to encourage, solicit, persuade or induce, any current or prospective client, customer, vendor, business partner, distributor, supplier or other business relation of the Group (or any person who was a client, customer, vendor, business partner, distributor or supplier of the Group as of or following the Effective Date or at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the Separation Date) (altogether, “Business Relations”) to terminate its relationship with the Group or otherwise interfere in any way with such relationship (collectively, the “Non-Interference Covenant”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you shall not be in violation of the Non-Interference Covenant (i) solely as a result of you or an organization with which you are associated or employed posting a general advertisement for employment or as a result of any employee or independent contractor of the Group responding to such general advertisement; provided, that such advertisement is not targeted at such employees and neither you nor the organization with which you are associated or employed take any further actions to encourage, hire, recruit, solicit, persuade or induce such employee or independent contract in violation of the Non-Interference Covenant, or (ii) by communicating, contracting and/or conducting business transactions with the Business Relations, provided such actions are not reasonably anticipated to, and do not actually, interfere with or result in the termination of such Business Relations’ relationships with the Group. You hereby agree that you shall be presumed to be in breach of the Non-Interference Covenant in the event that any individual covered by clause (i) above is employed or engaged under your direct or indirect supervision during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Separation Date.
You expressly acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in the previous three paragraphs may result in substantial, continuing and irreparable injury to the Group Companies. Therefore, you hereby agree that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms of the preceding three paragraphs without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach.
You acknowledge that each of the rights enumerated in this Agreement shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Group Companies at law or in equity.

The terms contained in this Agreement constitute and embody our full and complete understanding and agreement with respect to your employment with the Company, and supersede and replace any prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, concerning such subject matter (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement).

RELEASE OF CLAIMS
As used in this Release of Claims (this “Release”), the term “claims” will include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’ fees, judgments, losses, and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, in equity, or otherwise.
For and in consideration of the Severance (as defined in my Transition Agreement, dated February 23, 2023, with Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics, Inc. (such company, the “Company” and such agreement, my “Transition Agreement”)), and other good and valuable consideration, I, Larry Edwards, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective as of the date on which this release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise, and discharge each of the Company, Innoviva, Inc., and each of their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns, together with their respective current and former officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders (including any management company of a member or shareholder), employees, and agents (collectively, the “Group”), from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Group, whether known or unknown, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company, whether for tort, breach of express or implied contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, violation of public policy, defamation, libel, or slander, or under any federal, state, or local law dealing with discrimination, harassment or retaliation, and any other purported restriction on an employer’s right to terminate the employment of employees. The release of claims in this Release includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (excluding claims for accrued, vested benefits under an employee pension or other retirement plan of the Company), each as may be amended from time to time, and all other federal, state, and local laws and the common law or constitution of any jurisdiction. The release contained herein is intended to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law and for the provisions regarding the release of claims against the Group to be construed as broadly as possible, and hereby incorporate in this release similar federal, state or other laws, all of which I also hereby expressly waive.
I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any claims by me under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph.
By executing this Release, I specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Release to the contrary, by executing this Release, I am not releasing (i) any claims that cannot be waived by law, (ii) my rights to the Severance (as defined in the Transition Agreement), or (iii) my right of indemnification as provided by, and in accordance with the terms of, the Company’s by-laws or a Company insurance policy providing such coverage, as any of such may be amended from time to time.
I expressly acknowledge and agree that I –
A-1
I represent and warrant that I have not previously filed, and to the maximum extent permitted by law agree that I will not file, a complaint, charge, or lawsuit against any member of the Group regarding any of the claims released herein. If, notwithstanding this representation and warranty, I have filed or file such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit, I agree that I shall cause such complaint, charge, or lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice and shall pay any and all costs required in obtaining dismissal of such complaint, charge, or lawsuit, including without limitation the attorneys’ fees of any member of the Group against whom I have filed such a complaint, charge, or lawsuit.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Release to the contrary, nothing herein or in any Company policy or agreement prevents me, without notifying the Company, from (i) speaking with law enforcement, my attorney, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any state or local division of human rights or fair employment agency; (ii) filing a charge or complaint with, participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, or reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any government agency; (iii) participating in a whistleblower program administered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other government agency; (iv) exercising any rights I may have under the National Labor Relations Act or other labor laws to engage in protected concerted activity; or (v) filing or disclosing any facts necessary to receive unemployment insurance, Medicaid, or other public benefits to which I may be entitled; provided, however, that I agree to forgo any monetary benefit from the filing of a charge or complaint with a government agency except pursuant to a whistleblower program or where my right to receive such a monetary benefit is otherwise not waivable by law.
I hereby agree to waive any and all claims to re-employment with the Company or any other member of the Group and affirmatively agree not to seek further employment with the Company or any other member of the Group.
I hereby agree that, during the period commencing on the Separation Date and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Separation Date, I shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any person, company, enterprise or entity, or as a sole proprietor, partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent, employee or executive, or in any other capacity or relationship, engage in any Competitive Activities (as defined below) anywhere in the world.

treatments that are directly competitive with GIAPREZATM, XERAVATM or any other drugs, therapies or treatments actively being researched or under development by La Jolla Pharmaceuticals.
You expressly acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms and/or conditions set forth in the previous paragraph may result in substantial, continuing and irreparable injury to the Group. Therefore, you hereby agree that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms of the preceding paragraph without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach. You acknowledge that each of the rights enumerated in the preceding paragraph shall be independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to the Group at law or in equity. If any of the provisions of this Release or any part of any of them is hereafter construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of this Release, which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants contained in the previous paragraph is held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area or scope covered thereby, you agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope and/or area of such provision to the maximum and/or broadest duration, scope and/or area permissible by law, and in its reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable.

To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. on the seventh (7th) business day following the execution of this Release. Provided that the Release is executed and I do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8th) business day following the date on which this Release is executed shall be its effective date. I acknowledge and agree that if I revoke this Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Group will have any obligations to pay me the Severance.
The provisions of this Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, and assigns. If any provision of this Release shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect. The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release. I acknowledge and agree that each member of the Group shall be a third-party beneficiary to the releases set forth in this Release, with full rights to enforce this Release and the matters documented herein.
