Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Description of Business Operations

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business Operations

Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 3, 2013 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company is a medical dermatology company committed to the development and commercialization of novel treatments that provide meaningful benefit for people living with skin diseases.

Reverse Stock Split

On June 4, 2018, the Company effected a 1.714-for-one reverse stock split of Company’s common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the stock split. The par value and other terms of the common stock were not affected by the stock split.

All share and per share amounts, including stock options, have been retroactively adjusted in these financial statements for all periods presented to reflect the 1.714-for-one reverse stock split. Further, exercise prices of stock options have been retroactively adjusted in these financial statements for all periods presented to reflect the 1.714-for-one reverse stock split. The number of shares of the Company’s preferred stock were not affected by the reverse stock split; however, the conversion ratios were adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33.1 million.

On February 20, 2018 and March 7, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,606,267 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, at an issuance price of $4.559 per share, for gross proceeds of $21.0 million.

On June 19, 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock, which resulted in the issuance and sale of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share, generating net proceeds of $78.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs. Upon the closing of the IPO, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 16,246,872 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, upon the closing of the IPO, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorized the Company to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, all of which shares of preferred stock are undesignated.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to the valuation of common stock and stock options. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

Segments

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and money market mutual funds.

The Company classifies its marketable securities as “available-for-sale”, pursuant to ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities, carries them at fair market value and classifies them as current assets on its balance sheets. There were no marketable securities with a maturity of greater than one year as of December 31, 2018. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable debt securities are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss included in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

The following table presents the Company’s marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

	December 31, 2018
	Amortized		Gross Unrealized		Gross Unrealized			Fair
	Cost		Gains		Losses			Value
Commercial paper	$	48,623	$	5	$	(4	)	$	48,624
U.S. treasury securities		17,028		—		(2	)		17,026
Asset-backed securities		13,904		—		(16	)		13,888
Total marketable securities	$	79,555	$	5	$	(22	)	$	79,538

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s deposits are in accounts at large financial institutions, and amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the funds are held. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment:

Description		Useful Lives
Equipment		5 years
Leasehold Improvements		Lease term
Office Furniture and Fixtures		3 years

Expenditures associated with upgrades and enhancements that improve, add functionality, or otherwise extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures that do not, such as repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using discounted cash flows. No impairment losses have been recorded since inception.

Research and Development Costs

The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the Company’s clinical trials, salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and equity-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made.

Fair Value Measurement

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The following table presents fair value of the Company’s marketable securities as of December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurement as of December 31, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Commercial paper	$	—	$	48,624	$	—	$	48,624

Asset-backed securities		—		13,888		—		13,888
Total	$	17,026	$	62,512	$	—	$	79,538

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions, and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the year ended December 31, 2018, comprehensive loss includes net loss and unrealized loss on marketable securities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock option awards. For stock-based awards granted to employees and to members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option award and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. See Change in Accounting Principle – Stock-based Compensation. Non-employee options are remeasured to fair value each period and the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each separate vesting tranche of the award.

The use of the Black‑Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk‑free interest rates, and, for grants prior to the Company’s IPO, the value of the common stock. The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The Company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Change in Accounting Principle - Stock-Based Compensation

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company changed its policy for recognizing stock-based compensation expense for graded-vesting awards with service conditions only from the graded attribution method to the straight-line attribution method. The Company views these awards as single awards and believes that the straight-line attribution method more accurately reflects the pattern of service provided by the employees versus the graded attribution method which significantly front loads the stock-based compensation expense and does not appropriately match the expense with the services provided. In addition, based on research and analysis, the Company believes the straight-line attribution method for stock-based compensation expense for service condition-only awards is the predominant method used in its industry. The Company has concluded that the straight-line attribution method for stock-based compensation is a preferable accounting policy in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and has applied this change retrospectively. The impact from the change in accounting policy for periods prior to January 1, 2018 was immaterial.

The following tables present the effect of the change in accounting policy and its impact on key components of the Company’s 2018 financial statements (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes the potential impact of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. Since the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

The table below provides potential shares outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share, as the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management is required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-15 on January 1, 2017 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Share-Based Payment: Simplifying the Accounting for Share-Based Payments. The standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017 and elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. Other provisions of ASU 2016-09 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and the adoption of the guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the balance sheet as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which creates a new, optional transition method for implementing ASU 2016-02 and a lessor practical expedient for separating lease and non-lease components. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. After assessing the provisions of the guidance, the Company has estimated that a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability in the amount of $0.3 million will be recorded upon adoption as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The changes take effect for public companies for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company will adopt this standard as of January 1, 2019 but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement amongst or hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the update. The Company will adopt this standard as of January 1, 2019 but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The guidance also requires the entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, which includes reasonably certain renewals. The guidance becomes effective for the Company in the year ending December 31, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Note 4—Related Party Transactions

Prior to the IPO, the Company was controlled by PBM VP Holdings, LLC (“PBM VP Holdings”) an affiliate of PBM Capital Group, LLC (“PBM”). Paul B. Manning, who is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PBM and the current chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and certain entities affiliated with Mr. Manning, continue to be the Company’s largest shareholder on a collective basis.

On December 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Services Agreement (a “SA”) with PBM. Pursuant to the terms of the SA, which had an initial term of twelve months (and was automatically renewable for successive monthly periods), PBM rendered advisory and consulting services to the Company. Services provided under the SA included certain business development, operations, technical, contract, accounting and back office support services. In consideration for these services, the Company was obligated to pay PBM a monthly management fee of $2,500. On March 29, 2018, the Company amended the SA with PBM, effective as of April 1, 2018, increasing the monthly fee to $50,000. On January 1, 2019, the SA was amended to reduce the monthly management fee to $26,333 as a result of a reduction in services provided by PBM.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred expenses under the SA of $457,500 and $30,000, respectively, which were primarily included in general and administrative expenses.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had payables due to PBM and its affiliates of $38,000 and $14,000, respectively. These balances include amounts due for other miscellaneous expenses incurred by PBM and its affiliates.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one voting right. Common stock owners are entitled to dividends when funds are legally available and declared by the Board.

On June 19, 2018, the Company completed an IPO of its common stock, which resulted in the issuance and sale of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share, generating net proceeds of $78.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

Note 8—Stock-Based Compensation

In June 2018, the Board adopted and approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “IPO Plan”), which amended and restated the Company’s prior 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and became effective in connection with the IPO pricing on June 19, 2018. Prior to the effectiveness of the IPO Plan, the 2013 Plan provided for the grant of share-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. As a result of the effectiveness of the IPO Plan, no further grants may be made under the 2013 Plan.

The IPO Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance-based stock awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The IPO Plan also provides for the grant of performance-based cash awards to employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The Company has initially reserved 3,738,199 shares of common stock for issuance under the IPO Plan, which is the sum of (1) 2,198,198 new shares, plus (2) the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan at the time the IPO Plan became effective, plus (3) any shares subject to outstanding stock options or other stock awards that would have otherwise returned to the 2013 Plan (such as upon the expiration or termination of a stock award prior to exercise). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the IPO Plan will automatically increase on January 1 each year, for a period of ten years, from January 1, 2019 through January 1, 2028, by 4% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Board. As of December 31, 2018, 1,958,033 shares were available for grant under the IPO Plan.

Stock Options

The Company’s employee stock options generally vest as follows: 25% after 12 months of continuous services and the remaining 75% on a ratable basis over a 36-month period from 12 months after the grant date. Stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. The stock options are subject to time vesting requirements through 2022, are nontransferable, and have term expiration dates set to expire through 2028.

The grant date fair value of employee stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2018	2017
Exercise price	$6.52 - $16.32	$0.90
Risk-free rate of interest	2.58% - 3.13%	1.92% - 2.23%
Expected term (years)	6.15	6.25
Expected stock price volatility	58.26% - 83.67%	79.02% - 79.12%
Dividend yield	—	—
Weighted average grant date fair value	$6.95	$0.12

Non-employee options are remeasured to fair value each period through operations using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model until the options vest. There were no stock options granted to non-employees during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the non-employee stock options remeasured during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2018		2017
Exercise price	$0.90		$0.90
Risk-free rate of interest	2.33% - 3.06%		2.16% - 2.48%

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between fair value of the Company’s common stock price and the exercise price of the stock options. The weighted average grant date fair value per share for the employee stock option granted during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $6.95 and $0.12, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested employee and non-employee stock option awards granted was $8.1 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

As of December 31, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the nonvested shares was $0.3 million. No compensation expense has been recognized for these nonvested shares as these shares are performance-based and the triggering event was not determined to be probable as of December 31, 2018.

The Company has determined, based upon all available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $24.1 million and $24.1 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that were generated prior to 2018 will begin to expire, if not utilized, by 2033. Under the 2017 federal income tax law changes, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation according to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, and similar provisions.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income credits for its research and development activities. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company does not anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

The 2015 and subsequent federal and state tax years for the Company remain open for the assessment of income taxes.

Note 10–Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company changed its policy for recognizing stock-based compensation expense for awards with service conditions only from the graded attribution method to the straight-line attribution method. See Note 2 - Change in Accounting Principle - Stock-Based Compensation. The impact from the change in accounting policy for periods prior to January 1, 2108 was immaterial. As a result, the quarterly periods in 2017 have not been adjusted for the change in accounting policy.
