VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
A.
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated ("Vertex" or the "Company") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of (i) the Company, (ii) its wholly-owned subsidiaries and (iii) Alios BioPharma, Inc. (“Alios”), a collaborator that is a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) for which the Company is deemed under applicable accounting guidance to be the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company operates in one segment, pharmaceuticals.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments (including accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2013 (the "2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
Use of Estimates and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been made in connection with the calculation of revenues, inventories, research and development expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, the fair value of intangible assets, noncontrolling interest (Alios) and the income tax provision. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including in certain circumstances future projections, that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note A, "Nature of Business and Accounting Policies," in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note A, "Nature of Business and Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements," in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2013 that had a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
B.
Product Revenues, Net
The Company sells its products principally to a limited number of major and selected regional wholesalers and specialty pharmacy providers in North America that subsequently resell the products to patients and health care providers, as well as government-owned and supported customers in Europe (collectively, its “Customers”). The Company recognizes net revenues from product sales upon delivery as long as (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists between the Company and the Customer, (ii) collectibility is reasonably assured and (iii) the price is fixed or determinable.

In order to conclude that the price is fixed or determinable, the Company must be able to (i) calculate its gross product revenues from sales to Customers and (ii) reasonably estimate its net product revenues upon delivery to its Customer's locations. The Company calculates gross product revenues based on the price that the Company charges its Customers. The Company estimates its net product revenues by deducting from its gross product revenues (a) trade allowances, such as invoice discounts for prompt payment and customer fees, (b) estimated government and private payor rebates, chargebacks and discounts, (c) estimated reserves for expected product returns and (d) estimated costs of incentives offered to certain indirect customers, including patients.

Collaborative Arrangements
Janssen Pharmaceutica, N.V.
In 2006, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Janssen Pharmaceutica, N.V. ("Janssen") for the development, manufacture and commercialization of telaprevir, which Janssen began marketing under the brand name INCIVO in certain of its territories in September 2011. Under the collaboration agreement, Janssen agreed to be responsible for 50% of the drug development costs incurred under the development program for the parties’ territories (North America for the Company, and the rest of the world, other than specified countries in Asia, for Janssen) and has exclusive rights to commercialize telaprevir in its territories including Europe, South America, the Middle East, Africa and Australia.
Janssen pays the Company a tiered royalty averaging in the mid-20% range as a percentage of net sales of INCIVO in Janssen’s territories. Janssen is required under the agreement to use diligent efforts to maximize net sales of INCIVO in its territories through its commercial marketing, pricing and contracting strategies. Janssen is responsible for certain third-party royalties on net sales of INCIVO in its territories.
Janssen made a $165.0 million up-front license payment to the Company in 2006. The up-front license payment is being amortized over the Company’s estimated period of performance under the collaboration agreement. As of June 30, 2013, there were $37.3 million in deferred revenues related to this up-front license payment that the Company expects to recognize over the remaining estimated period of performance. The Company's estimates regarding the period of performance under the Janssen agreement have changed in the past, and due to the evolving nature of the landscape for treatments for HCV infection, the estimated period of performance may change in the future.
Under the collaboration agreement, Janssen agreed to make contingent milestone payments for successful development, approval and launch of telaprevir as a product in its territories. At the inception of the agreement, the Company determined that all of these contingent milestones were substantive and would result in revenues in the period in which the milestone was achieved. The Company has earned $350.0 million of these contingent milestone payments and does not expect to receive any further milestone payments under this agreement.
Under the Janssen collaboration agreement, each party incurs internal and external reimbursable expenses related to the telaprevir development program and is reimbursed by the other party for 50% of these expenses. The Company recognizes the full amount of the reimbursable costs it incurs as research and development expenses on its condensed consolidated

statements of operations. The Company recognizes the amounts that Janssen is obligated to pay the Company with respect to reimbursable expenses, net of reimbursable expenses incurred by Janssen, as collaborative revenues. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Janssen incurred more reimbursable costs than the Company, and the net amounts payable by the Company to reimburse Janssen were recorded as a reduction of collaborative revenues.
Each of the parties is responsible for drug supply in its territories. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company provided Janssen certain services through the Company’s third-party manufacturing network for telaprevir. Reimbursements from Janssen for these manufacturing services were recorded as collaborative revenues.
Janssen may terminate the collaboration agreement upon the later of (i) one year’s advance notice and (ii) such period as may be required to assign and transfer to the Company specified filings and approvals. The agreement also may be terminated by either party for a material breach by the other, subject to notice and cure provisions. Unless earlier terminated, the agreement will continue in effect until the expiration of Janssen’s royalty obligations, which expire on a country-by-country basis on the later of (a) the last-to-expire patent covering INCIVO or (b) ten years after the first commercial sale in the country. In the European Union, the Company has a patent covering the composition-of-matter of INCIVO that expires in 2026.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized the following revenues attributable to the Janssen collaboration:

Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation
The Company has a collaboration agreement (the “MTPC Agreement”) with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation ("Mitsubishi Tanabe") pursuant to which Mitsubishi Tanabe has a fully-paid license to manufacture and commercialize TELAVIC (the brand name under which Mitsubishi Tanabe is marketing telaprevir) in Japan and other specified countries in Asia.
The parties entered into the MTPC Agreement in 2004 and amended it in 2009. Pursuant to the MTPC Agreement, Mitsubishi Tanabe provided financial and other support for the development and commercialization of telaprevir, made a $105.0 million payment in connection with the 2009 amendment of the collaboration agreement and made a $65.0 million commercial milestone payment recognized as collaborative revenues in 2011. There are no further payments under this collaboration agreement. Mitsubishi Tanabe is responsible for its own development and manufacturing costs in its territory.
Mitsubishi Tanabe may terminate the MTPC Agreement at any time without cause upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company. The MTPC Agreement also may be terminated by either party for a material breach by the other, subject to notice and cure provisions. Unless earlier terminated, the MTPC Agreement will continue in effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent covering telaprevir in Mitsubishi Tanabe's territories. In Japan, the Company has a patent covering the composition-of-matter of telaprevir that expires in 2021.

The $105.0 million payment that the Company received in 2009 in connection with the amendment to the MTPC Agreement was a nonrefundable, up-front license fee, and revenues related to the 2009 payment were recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of performance of the Company’s obligations under the amended agreement. The final deferred revenues related to the 2009 up-front license payment were recognized in April 2012. In connection with the amendment to the MTPC Agreement, the Company supplied manufacturing services to Mitsubishi Tanabe, until April 2012, through the Company’s third-party manufacturing network for telaprevir.
The Company recognized no collaborative revenues attributable to the Mitsubishi Tanabe collaboration in 2013 and $4.8 million and $18.9 million in collaborative revenues attributable to the Mitsubishi Tanabe collaboration in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Incorporated
In April 2011, the Company entered into an amendment (the “April 2011 Amendment”) to its existing collaboration agreement with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Incorporated (“CFFT”) pursuant to which CFFT agreed to provide financial support for (i) development activities for VX-661, a corrector compound discovered under the collaboration, and (ii) additional research and development activities directed at discovering new corrector compounds.
The Company entered into the original collaboration agreement with CFFT in 2004 and amended it several times prior to 2011 to, among other things, provide partial funding for its cystic fibrosis drug discovery and development efforts. In 2006, the Company received a $1.5 million milestone payment from CFFT. There are no additional milestones payable by CFFT to the Company pursuant to the collaboration agreement, as amended. Under the April 2011 Amendment, CFFT agreed to provide the Company with up to $75.0 million in funding over approximately five years for corrector-compound research and development activities. The Company retains the right to develop and commercialize KALYDECO (ivacaftor), VX-809, VX-661 and any other compounds discovered during the course of the research collaboration with CFFT.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized the following revenues attributable to the CFFT collaboration:

In the original agreement, as amended prior to the April 2011 Amendment, the Company agreed to pay CFFT tiered royalties calculated as a percentage, ranging from single digits to sub-teens, of annual net sales of any approved drugs discovered during the research term that ended in 2008, including KALYDECO, VX-809 and VX-661. The April 2011 Amendment provides for a tiered royalty in the same range on net sales of corrector compounds discovered during the research term that began in 2011. In each of the third quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013, CFFT earned a commercial milestone payment of $9.3 million from the Company upon achievement of certain sales levels for KALYDECO. These milestones were reflected in the Company's cost of product revenues. There are no additional commercial milestone payments payable by the Company to CFFT related to sales levels for KALYDECO. The Company also is obligated to make up to two one-time commercial milestone payments to CFFT upon achievement of certain sales levels for corrector compounds such as VX-809 or VX-661.
The Company began marketing KALYDECO in the United States in the first quarter of 2012 and began marketing KALYDECO in certain countries in the European Union in the third quarter of 2012. The Company has royalty obligations to CFFT for each compound commercialized pursuant to this collaboration until the expiration of patents covering that compound. The Company has patents in the United States and European Union covering the composition-of-matter of ivacaftor that expire in 2027 and 2025, respectively, subject to potential patent life extensions. CFFT may terminate its funding obligations under the collaboration, as amended, in certain circumstances, in which case there will be a proportional

Alios BioPharma, Inc.
License and Collaboration Agreement
In June 2011, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “Alios Agreement”) with Alios, a privately-held biotechnology company. The Company and Alios are collaborating on the research, development and commercialization of an HCV nucleotide analogue discovered by Alios, ALS-2200 (now formulated as VX-135), which is designed to act on the HCV polymerase.
Under the terms of the Alios Agreement, the Company received exclusive worldwide rights to ALS-2200 (VX-135) and ALS-2158, a second HCV nucleotide analogue discovered by Alios that was only developed pursuant to the Alios Agreement through the third quarter of 2012. Upon entering into the Alios Agreement, the Company paid Alios a $60.0 million up-front payment. As of June 30, 2013, Alios had earned an aggregate of $60.0 million in development milestone payments pursuant to the Alios Agreement. The Alios Agreement provides for development milestone payments to Alios of up to an additional $312.5 million if VX-135 is approved and commercialized. In addition, Alios is eligible to receive commercial milestone payments of up to $750.0 million, as well as tiered royalties on net sales of approved drugs.
Alios and the Company began clinical development of ALS-2200 (VX-135) in December 2011. The Company is responsible for all costs related to development, commercialization and manufacturing of compounds licensed to the Company pursuant to the Alios Agreement, provided funding to Alios to conduct the Phase 1 clinical trials associated with the Alios Agreement and provided funding for a research program that was directed to the discovery of additional HCV nucleotide analogues that act on the HCV polymerase.
The Company may terminate the Alios Agreement (i) upon 30 days’ notice to Alios if the Company ceases development after VX-135 has experienced a technical failure and/or (ii) upon 60 days’ notice to Alios at any time after the Company completes specified Phase 2a clinical trials. The Alios Agreement also may be terminated by either party for a material breach by the other, and by Alios for the Company’s inactivity or if the Company challenges certain Alios patents, in each case subject to notice and cure provisions. Unless earlier terminated, the Alios Agreement will continue in effect until the expiration of the Company’s royalty obligations, which expire on a country-by-country basis on the later of (a) the date the last-to-expire patent covering a licensed product expires or (b) ten years after the first commercial sale in the country.
Alios is continuing to operate as a separate entity, is engaged in other programs directed at developing novel drugs that are not covered by the Alios Agreement and maintains ownership of the underlying patent rights that are licensed to the Company pursuant to the Alios Agreement. Under applicable accounting guidance, the Company has determined that Alios is a VIE, that Alios is a business and that the Company is Alios’ primary beneficiary. The Company based these determinations on, among other factors, the significance to Alios of the licensed compounds and on the Company’s power, through the joint steering committee for the licensed compounds established under the Alios Agreement, to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of Alios.
Accordingly, the Company consolidated Alios’ statements of operations and balance sheet with the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on June 13, 2011. However, the Company’s interests in Alios are limited to those accorded to the Company in the Alios Agreement. In particular, the Company did not acquire any equity interest in Alios, any interest in Alios’ cash and cash equivalents or any control over Alios’ activities that do not relate to the Alios Agreement. Alios does not have any rights to the Company’s assets except as provided in the Alios Agreement.
Noncontrolling Interest (Alios)
The Company records noncontrolling interest (Alios) on two lines on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The noncontrolling interest (Alios) is reflected on two separate lines because Alios has both common shareholders and preferred shareholders that are entitled to redemption rights in certain circumstances. The Company records net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) on its condensed consolidated statements of operations, reflecting Alios' net loss

The Company uses present-value models to determine the estimated fair value of the contingent milestone and royalty payments, based on assumptions regarding the probability of achieving the relevant milestones, estimates regarding the time to develop drug candidates, estimates of future product sales and the appropriate discount rates. The Company bases its estimate of the probability of achieving the relevant milestones on industry data for similar assets and its own experience. The discount rates used in the valuation model represent a measure of credit risk and market risk associated with settling the liability. Significant judgment is used in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions at each reporting period. Changes in these assumptions could have a material effect on the fair value of the contingent milestone and royalty payments.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the fair value of the contingent milestone payments and royalties payable by the Company to Alios related to the HCV nucleotide analogue program decreased by $0.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, which decreased net loss attributable to Vertex by a corresponding amount.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the fair value of contingent milestone and royalty payments increased by $56.2 million and $55.2 million, respectively, primarily because the Company received positive clinical data from a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating ALS-2200 (VX-135), which increased the probability that Alios would earn future payments from the Company under the Alios Agreement.
If VX-135 continues to advance in clinical development, the Company expects it will record increases in the fair value of the contingent milestone and royalty payments in future periods. Changes in the fair value of these contingent milestone and royalty payments, and the effects of these changes on net income (loss) attributable to Vertex, may be material in future periods.

Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects the Company’s estimate of amounts that it would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from sources independent from the Company) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (the Company’s assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Table of Contents

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

(unaudited)

Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company’s investment strategy is focused on capital preservation. The Company invests in instruments that meet the credit quality standards outlined in the Company’s investment policy. This policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue or type of instrument. As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s investments were in money market funds, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, short-term government-sponsored enterprise securities, corporate debt securities and commercial paper.
As of June 30, 2013, all of the Company’s financial assets that were subject to fair value measurements were valued using observable inputs. The Company’s financial assets valued based on Level 1 inputs consisted of money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and government-sponsored enterprise securities. The Company’s financial assets valued based on Level 2 inputs consisted of corporate debt securities and commercial paper, which consist of investments in highly-rated investment-grade corporations.

I.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets
As of December 31, 2012, the Company's intangible assets consisted of indefinite-lived in-process research and development assets of (i) $250.6 million related to its HCV nucleotide analogue program, which includes the HCV nucleotide analogue VX-135, and (ii) $412.9 million related to VX-222, which also was being developed for the treatment of HCV infection. The Company acquired VX-222 when it acquired ViroChem Pharma Inc. ("ViroChem") in 2009.
The Company tests intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, and more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstance suggest that impairment may exist. In connection with each annual impairment assessment and any interim impairment assessment in which indicators of impairment have been identified, the Company compares the fair value of the asset as of the date of the assessment with the carrying value of the asset on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with its preparation of its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company determined that there were indicators that the value of the VX-222 intangible asset had become impaired.  This determination was based on (a) preliminary safety, tolerability and efficacy data from a Phase 2 clinical trial of VX-222, telaprevir and ribavirin, which was received in March 2013 and analyzed through April 2013 and (b) a review of the existing and emerging data regarding all-oral regimens for HCV infection being developed by the Company's competitors that appear to be generally well tolerated with high sustained viral response ("SVR") rates for treatment-naïve patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. After evaluating the data from this Phase 2 clinical trial, the Company determined that regimens containing VX-222 were unlikely to be competitive with the treatment regimens being developed by the Company's competitors. The Company evaluated the fair value of VX-222 from the perspective of a market participant and based on this analysis determined that the fair value of VX-222 was zero as of March 31, 2013. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $412.9 million impairment charge in the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company continues to monitor the development of competitive all-oral regimens and other direct antivirals and does not plan to initiate any new clinical trials of VX-222.  In connection with this impairment charge, the Company recorded a credit of $127.6 million in its provision for income taxes. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, the increase to the Company's net loss attributable to Vertex related to this impairment charge, net of the tax credit, was $285.3 million, and the net increase to the Company's net loss per share attributable to Vertex common shareholders was $1.30 per share.
The field of HCV infection treatment is highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological advances and the development of drug candidates for the treatment of HCV infection is subject to numerous risks. Two of the Company's competitors have filed applications seeking approval for potentially competitive treatment regimens that include pegylated-interferon and ribavirin, and several of the Company's competitors are conducting Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating all-oral combinations of their drug candidates for the treatment of genotype 1 HCV infection.
In July 2013, U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") placed a partial clinical hold on the Company's Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating VX-135 in combination with ribavirin. The partial clinical hold prevents the Company from evaluating a 200 mg dose of VX-135 in the United States following observation of reversible elevated liver enzymes in patients who received 400 mg of VX-135 in combination with ribavirin in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe. Evaluation of a 100 mg dose of VX-135 in combination with ribavirin as part of the 12-week Phase 2 clinical trial in the United States is continuing as planned. The Company recently completed dosing of 100 mg and 200 mg of VX-135 in combination with ribavirin as part of the 12-week Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe, and both doses were well tolerated with no discontinuations. No serious adverse events have been reported and no liver or cardiac safety issues have been identified in the 100 mg or 200 mg dose arms of this clinical trial in Europe. Vertex also recently initiated dosing of 100 mg and 200 mg of VX-135 in combination with daclatasvir, an NS5A replication complex inhibitor being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb, in a Phase 2 clinical trial in New Zealand. The Company evaluated this data and the related partial clinical hold and has concluded that it does not represent an indicator of impairment.  The Company will continue to evaluate VX-135 for impairment each reporting period.
If the fair value of the HCV nucleotide analogue program becomes impaired as the result of unfavorable safety or efficacy data from any ongoing or future clinical trial or because of any other information regarding the prospects of successfully developing or commercializing VX-135, the Company would incur significant charges in the period in which the impairment occurs.
Goodwill
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, goodwill of $31.0 million was recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. There was no change to goodwill recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.
J.
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
In 2010, the Company completed an offering of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.35% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2015 (the "2015 Notes"). This offering resulted in $391.6 million of net proceeds to the


18

(unaudited)

Company. The underwriting discount and other expenses of $8.4 million were recorded as debt issuance costs and were included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The 2015 Notes were convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into common stock at a price equal to approximately $48.83 per share, or 20.4794 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Notes. If the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company had the right to redeem the 2015 Notes at its option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2015 Notes to be redeemed.
In the second quarter of 2013, the Company's common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price of the 2015 Notes for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days, and the Company notified the holders of the 2015 Notes that it would redeem the 2015 Notes on June 17, 2013. In response to the Company's call of the 2015 Notes for redemption, in accordance with the provisions of the 2015 Notes, the holders of $399.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes elected to convert their 2015 Notes into the Company's common stock at the conversion price of approximately $48.83 per share. As a result of these conversions, the Company issued 8,188,448 shares of common stock. The remaining $0.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes was redeemed on June 17, 2013.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Notes, the Company made an additional payment of $16.75 per $1,000 principal amount, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, to the holders of the 2015 Notes that converted or redeemed their 2015 Notes after the Company called the 2015 Notes for redemption. These payments resulted in the issuance of an additional 87,109 shares of the Company's common stock. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an aggregate of $6.7 million in interest expense related to the 2015 Notes. Unamortized debt issuance costs for the 2015 Notes of $4.2 million were recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital.
K.
Long-term Obligations
Fan Pier Leases
In 2011, the Company entered into two leases, pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 1.1 million square feet of office and laboratory space in two buildings (the "Buildings") that the landlord is building at Fan Pier in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Fan Pier Leases”). The Company expects to commence lease payments in December 2013 and to make payments for the period ending 15 years from the commencement date. The Company has an option to extend the term of the Fan Pier Leases for an additional ten years.
Because the Company is involved in the construction project, including having responsibility to pay for a portion of the costs of finish work and structural elements of the Buildings, the Company is deemed for accounting purposes to be the owner of the Buildings during the construction period. Accordingly, the Company has recorded project construction costs incurred by the landlord as an asset and a related financing obligation in “Property and equipment, net” and “Construction financing lease obligation,” respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company bifurcates its future lease payments pursuant to the Fan Pier Leases into (i) a portion that is allocated to the Buildings and (ii) a portion that is allocated to the land on which the Buildings are being constructed, which is recorded as rental expense. Although the Company will not begin making lease payments pursuant to the Fan Pier Leases until the commencement date, the portion of the lease obligations allocated to the land is treated for accounting purposes as an operating lease that commenced in 2011.
Property and equipment, net, included $421.3 million and $290.7 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, related to construction costs for the Buildings at Fan Pier in Boston, Massachusetts. The construction financing lease obligation related to the Buildings at Fan Pier was $359.1 million and $268.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the primary difference between the amounts recorded in property and equipment, net and the construction financing lease obligation represented the cost of finish work and structural elements of the Buildings that the Company was responsible for paying to date.
Once the landlord completes the construction of the Buildings, the Company will evaluate the Fan Pier Leases in order to determine whether or not the Fan Pier Leases meet the criteria for “sale-leaseback” treatment. If the Fan Pier Leases meet the


19
Table of Contents

VERTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATED

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(unaudited)

“sale-leaseback” criteria, the Company will remove the asset and the related liability from its consolidated balance sheet and treat the Fan Pier Leases as either operating or capital leases based on the Company’s assessment of the accounting guidance. The Company expects that upon completion of construction of the Buildings the Fan Pier Leases will not meet the “sale-leaseback” criteria. If the Fan Pier Leases do not meet “sale-leaseback” criteria, the Company will treat the Fan Pier Leases as a financing obligation and will depreciate the asset over its estimated useful life.
Capital Leases
The Company has outstanding capital leases for equipment, leasehold improvements and software licenses with terms through 2018. The capital leases bear interest at rates ranging from 4% to 7% per year. The following table sets forth the Company’s future minimum payments due under capital leases as of June 30, 2013:

Financing Arrangements
In the first half of 2013, the Company began supporting $31.9 million in irrevocable stand-by letters of credit issued in support of property leases and other similar agreements with an unsecured credit facility with a one-year term. The Company previously had cash-collateralized these stand-by letters of credit. As a result of this credit facility, the restricted cash reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets decreased by $31.8 million net of other activity recorded during the period and the Company's cash and cash equivalents increased by a corresponding amount.
L.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
The Company issues stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units with service conditions, which are generally the vesting periods of the awards. The Company also has issued, to certain members of senior management, restricted stock and restricted stock units that vest upon the earlier of the satisfaction of (i) a performance condition or (ii) a service condition, and stock options that vest upon the earlier of the satisfaction of (a) performance conditions or (b) a service condition. In addition, the Company issues shares pursuant to an employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP").

Sale of HIV Protease Inhibitor Royalty Stream
In 2008, the Company sold to a third party its rights to receive royalty payments from GlaxoSmithKline plc, net of royalty amounts to be earned by and due to a third party, for a one-time cash payment of $160.0 million. These royalty payments relate to net sales of HIV protease inhibitors, which had been developed pursuant to a collaboration agreement between the Company and GlaxoSmithKline plc. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $75.2 million in deferred revenues related to the one-time cash payment, which it is recognizing over the life of the collaboration agreement with GlaxoSmithKline plc based on the units-of-revenue method. In addition, the Company continues to recognize royalty revenues equal to the amount of the third-party subroyalty and an offsetting royalty expense for the third-party subroyalty payment.
N.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a net benefit from income taxes of $1.8 million. This benefit from income taxes was due to a benefit from income taxes of $2.4 million attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) offset by a provision for income taxes of $0.6 million attributable to Vertex. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the fair value of VX-222 was zero, which resulted in an impairment charge of $412.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. In connection with this impairment charge, the Company wrote-off the associated deferred tax liability of $127.6 million resulting in a benefit from income in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Please refer to Note I, "Intangible Assets and Goodwill," for further information regarding the impairment charge.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes attributable to Vertex of $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes attributable to Vertex of $1.1 million. These were due to state income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) of $21.2 million and $19.0 million, respectively.
The Company has no liability for taxes payable by Alios. As such, the portion of the income tax provision (benefit) related to Alios has been allocated to noncontrolling interest (Alios). As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Alios had a deferred tax liability of $149.7 million and $152.8 million reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The Company does not expect that its unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase within the next twelve months. The Company did not recognize any material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance on its net operating losses and other deferred tax assets because of its extended history of annual losses. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.6 billion and tax credits of $98.0 million, which may be used to offset future federal income tax liability. For state income tax purposes, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.5 billion and tax credits of $60.3 million at December 31, 2012, which may be used to offset future state income tax liability. On a quarterly basis, the Company reassesses the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets. In future periods, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized, (i) the valuation allowance would be decreased, (ii) a portion or all of the deferred tax asset would be reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and (iii) the Company would record non-cash benefits in its consolidated statements of operations related to the reflection of the deferred tax asset on its consolidated balance sheet.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to any tax assessment from an income tax examination in the United States before 2007 and any other major taxing jurisdiction for years before 2005, except where the Company has net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that originated before 2005. The Company is currently under examination by Revenue Quebec for the year ended March 11, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2007. No adjustments have been reported. The Company is not under examination by any other jurisdictions for any tax year.
The Company currently intends to reinvest the total amount of its unremitted earnings, which have not been significant to date, in the local international jurisdiction or to repatriate the earnings only when tax-effective. As a result, the Company has not provided for U.S. federal income taxes on the unremitted earnings of its international subsidiaries. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. At June 30, 2013, foreign earnings, which were not significant, have been retained indefinitely by foreign subsidiary companies for reinvestment; therefore, no provision has been made for income taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of such earnings, and it would not be practicable to determine the amount of the related unrecognized deferred income tax liability.
O.
Restructuring Liability
In 2003, the Company adopted a plan to restructure its operations to coincide with its increasing internal emphasis on advancing drug candidates through clinical development to commercialization. The restructuring liability relates to specialized laboratory and office space that is leased to the Company pursuant to a 15-year lease that terminates in 2018, and that the Company has not used since it adopted the plan to restructure its operations in 2003. This laboratory and office space currently is subleased to third parties.
In estimating the expense and liability under its lease obligations, the Company estimated (i) the costs to be incurred to satisfy rental and build-out commitments under the lease (including operating costs), (ii) the lead-time necessary to sublease the space, (iii) the projected sublease rental rates and (iv) the anticipated durations of subleases. The Company uses a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of approximately 10% to discount the estimated cash flows. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions on at least a quarterly basis, intends to continue such reviews until the termination of the applicable lease, and will make whatever modifications the Company believes necessary, based on the Company’s best judgment, to reflect any changed circumstances.

Legal Proceedings
On September 6, 2012, a purported shareholder class action, City of Bristol Pension Fund v. Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, naming the Company and certain of the Company's current and former officers and directors as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the Company made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in the Company's disclosures during the period from May 7, 2012 through June 28, 2012, all in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. By order dated December 12, 2012, the court appointed the City of Bristol lead plaintiff and appointed the City of Bristol's attorneys lead counsel. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 11, 2013. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 12, 2013. On May 28, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint. On June 27, 2013, the Company filed a reply in further support of the Company's motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' complaint. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, as well as disgorgement of the proceeds from certain individual defendants' sales of the Company's common stock. The Company believes that this action is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not recorded any reserves for this purported class action.
Q.
Contingencies
The Company has certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues a reserve for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. There were no material contingent liabilities accrued as of June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
R.
Guarantees
As permitted under Massachusetts law, the Company’s Articles of Organization and By-laws provide that the Company will indemnify certain of its officers and directors for certain claims asserted against them in connection with their service as an officer or director. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. However, the Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that could reduce its monetary exposure and enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. No indemnification claims currently are outstanding, and the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is minimal.
The Company customarily agrees in the ordinary course of its business to indemnification provisions in agreements with clinical trial investigators and sites in its drug development programs, sponsored research agreements with academic and not-for-profit institutions, various comparable agreements involving parties performing services for the Company, and its real estate leases. The Company also customarily agrees to certain indemnification provisions in its drug discovery, development and commercialization collaboration agreements. With respect to the Company’s clinical trials and sponsored research agreements, these indemnification provisions typically apply to any claim asserted against the investigator or the


24

(unaudited)

investigator’s institution relating to personal injury or property damage, violations of law or certain breaches of the Company’s contractual obligations arising out of the research or clinical testing of the Company’s compounds or drug candidates. With respect to lease agreements, the indemnification provisions typically apply to claims asserted against the landlord relating to personal injury or property damage caused by the Company, to violations of law by the Company or to certain breaches of the Company’s contractual obligations. The indemnification provisions appearing in the Company’s collaboration agreements are similar to those for the other agreements discussed above, but in addition provide some limited indemnification for its collaborator in the event of third-party claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights. In each of the cases above, the indemnification obligation generally survives the termination of the agreement for some extended period, although the Company believes the obligation typically has the most relevance during the contract term and for a short period of time thereafter. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these provisions is generally unlimited. The Company has purchased insurance policies covering personal injury, property damage and general liability that reduce its exposure for indemnification and would enable it in many cases to recover all or a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company has never paid any material amounts to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. Accordingly, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is minimal.
The Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated dated September 23, 2010 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), relating to the public offering and sale of the 2015 Notes. The Underwriting Agreement requires the Company to indemnify the underwriter against any loss it may suffer by reason of the Company’s breach of any representation or warranty relating to the public offering, the Company’s failure to perform certain covenants in the Underwriting Agreement, the inclusion of any untrue statement of material fact in the prospectus used in connection with the offering, the omission of any material fact needed to make those materials not misleading, and any actions taken by the Company or its representatives in connection with the offering. The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions in the Underwriting Agreement are of a type customary in agreements of this sort. The Company believes the estimated fair value of this indemnification arrangement is minimal.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
We are in the business of discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing small molecule drugs for patients with serious diseases. Our two products are: INCIVEK (telaprevir), which we market in the United States and Canada for the treatment of adults with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus, or HCV, infection; and KALYDECO (ivacaftor), which we market in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe for the treatment of patients six years of age and older with cystic fibrosis, or CF, who have a specific genetic mutation that is referred to as the G551D mutation. We receive royalties from sales in Europe and other countries for telaprevir, where it is marketed as INCIVO, by our collaborator, Janssen Pharmaceutica, N.V.
We invest in scientific innovation to create transformative medicines for patients with serious diseases, with a focus on specialty markets. Our strategy is to make focused investments to invent and develop innovative drugs, while we continue to market INCIVEK and KALYDECO to eligible patients to generate revenues and maintain a strong financial position.
Our second quarter 2013 revenues included INCIVEK net product revenues of $155.8 million and KALYDECO net product revenues of $99.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.4 billion. Our net product revenues from sales of INCIVEK declined over the course of 2012 and in the first half of 2013, and we expect this trend to continue due to reduced demand for current therapies for HCV infection, as new competitive therapies approach commercialization. In the future, we expect that our ability to increase net product revenues will be dependent on the outcomes of ongoing label-expansion programs for KALYDECO monotherapy and on introducing one or more of our drug candidates in late-stage development to the market.
We are focusing most of our drug development investment on the following key programs:
Cystic Fibrosis - Our goal is to develop treatment regimens that will provide benefits to as many patients with CF as possible and to maximize those benefits. We are conducting Phase 3 label-expansion clinical trials and a proof-of-concept clinical trial of ivacaftor monotherapy in patients with certain mutations in their cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, or CFTR, gene that were not studied in prior Phase 3 clinical trials. In the first quarter of 2013, we initiated an international pivotal Phase 3 development program to evaluate combinations of ivacaftor and our investigational CFTR corrector VX-809 (lumacaftor) for patients with two copies of the most prevalent genetic mutation that causes CF.
HCV - We are seeking to develop all-oral, interferon-free treatment regimens that are 12 weeks or less in duration with a goal of providing high viral cure rates and improved tolerability, in order to be commercially competitive in the HCV market of the future. We are conducting multiple Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate all-oral combination treatment regimens that include our HCV nucleotide analogue VX-135 together with molecules that have potentially complementary mechanisms, such as ribavirin, or RBV, an HCV protease inhibitor and an HCV NS5A inhibitor.
Autoimmune Diseases - We are evaluating our JAK3 inhibitor, VX-509, in a fully-enrolled Phase 2 clinical trial. The primary endpoints of this clinical trial will be measured after 12 weeks of treatment, and we expect data from this clinical trial in the second half of 2013.
We may seek collaborators for some of our drug candidates in order to diversify risk, broaden or accelerate or otherwise benefit a development program in an effort to fully realize the value of a drug candidate.
We plan to continue investing in our research programs and supporting scientific innovation in order to identify and develop transformative medicines. We believe that pursuing research in diverse areas allows us to balance the risks inherent in drug development and may provide the drug candidates that will form our pipeline in future years. We have on-going research programs, including in the areas of CF, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis and cancer.

Table of Contents

CF
KALYDECO (ivacaftor) is approved in the United States, Australia, Canada and the European Union for the treatment of patients with CF six years of age and older who have the G551D mutation on at least one allele of the CFTR gene. We are continuing our work in CF to identify and develop treatment regimens that will provide benefits to as many patients with CF as possible and to maximize those benefits. We have multiple ongoing clinical development programs to evaluate our CF treatment regimens, and our research group is working to identify additional corrector compounds that could be included in future dual-corrector regimens in combination with ivacaftor in patients with one or two copies of the F508del mutation.
Ivacaftor (monotherapy)
We are conducting Phase 3 label-expansion clinical trials and a Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial of ivacaftor monotherapy:
•
We are conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ivacaftor in patients six years of age and older with CF with gating mutations other than the G551D mutation. In July 2013, we reported that patients in this clinical trial had statistically significant improvements in their lung function. We plan to submit a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and a Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, variation in the European Union in the second half of 2013 for the use of ivacaftor monotherapy in patients six years of age and older with gating mutations other than the G551D mutation.
•
We are conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ivacaftor in patients six years of age and older with CF who have the R117H mutation in the CFTR gene on at least one allele. We expect data from this clinical trial in the second half of 2013. If this clinical trial is successful, we plan to submit an sNDA to the FDA in early 2014 for the use of ivacaftor monotherapy in patients with CF who are six years of age and older who have the R117H mutation in the CFTR gene on at least one allele.
•
We are conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial in which we are evaluating a pediatric formulation of ivacaftor as a treatment for children two to five years of age with gating mutations in the CFTR gene, including the G551D mutation. We have completed the pharmacokinetic portion of this clinical trial and have selected a dose to evaluate for the 24-week dosing period, which is now underway. We expect data from this clinical trial in mid-2014.
•
We are enrolling patients in a Phase 2 clinical trial in which we are evaluating ivacaftor in patients with CF who have clinical evidence of residual CFTR function. We expect data from this clinical trial in the first half of 2014.
If we are able to establish that all of these additional patient groups will benefit from ivacaftor monotherapy, there is the potential to increase the number of patients eligible for treatment with ivacaftor monotherapy to more than ten percent of patients worldwide with CF.
VX-809 in Combination with Ivacaftor
We are enrolling patients in an international pivotal Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate combinations of VX-809 and ivacaftor in patients with CF who have two copies of the F508del mutation in their CFTR gene (homozygous). We are conducting two 24-week Phase 3 clinical trials that are designed to support approval of the combination of VX-809 and ivacaftor for patients 12 years of age and older. We expect to complete enrollment of patients in these clinical trials in the second half of 2013. Each Phase 3 clinical trial will enroll approximately 500 patients with CF who are homozygous for the F508del mutation, for a total of approximately 1,000 patients. The two clinical trials have the same design and together will be conducted at approximately 200 clinical trial sites in North America, Europe and Australia. If these trials are successful, we plan to submit a New Drug Application, or NDA, to the FDA in 2014. Almost half of the patients with CF worldwide are homozygous for the F508del mutation in their CFTR gene.
In addition to the two Phase 3 clinical trials, in the second half of 2013 we plan to begin evaluation of VX-809 in combination with ivacaftor in patients with CF who are 12 years of age and older and who have one copy of the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene in a Phase 2 clinical trial. In the second half of 2013, we also plan to begin enrollment in a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate VX-809 in combination with ivacaftor in children with CF six to eleven years of age who have two copies of the F508del mutation. If this Phase 2 clinical trial is successful, we plan to use the data from this clinical trial, along with data from the two Phase 3 clinical trials, for registration in the United States in patients six to eleven years of age, following registration in patients 12 years of age and older. Discussions with European regulatory agencies about plans for patients in this age group are ongoing.

VX-661
We are preparing to evaluate a four-week regimen of VX-661 in combination with ivacaftor in patients with one copy of the F508del mutation and one copy of the G551D mutation in a Phase 2 clinical trial. The evaluation of this regimen is supported by in vitro data presented at the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Conference by our researchers that showed increased chloride transport in human bronchial epithelial cells with one copy of the F508del mutation and one copy of the G551D mutation, with the combination of a corrector compound and ivacaftor as compared to the use of ivacaftor alone. Our strategy is to evaluate multiple first-generation correctors, including VX-661 and VX-983, in combination with ivacaftor to identify regimens that may provide benefit to patients with the F508del mutation.
Dual-Correctors in Combination with Ivacaftor
We have an active research program focused on identifying additional corrector compounds that could be included in future dual-corrector regimens in combination with ivacaftor in patients with one or two copies of the F508del mutation. The potential use of a dual-corrector regimen in combination with ivacaftor is supported by in vitro data presented at the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Conference that showed a combination of two CFTR correctors and ivacaftor increased chloride transport in human bronchial epithelial cells with one or two copies of the F50del mutation, as compared to the use of a single CFTR corrector in combination with ivacaftor. Our goal is to advance a second-generation CFTR corrector compound into clinical development by the end of 2014.
HCV
Janssen and we market INCIVEK/INCIVO in direct competition with Merck & Co., Inc.'s VICTRELIS™ (boceprevir), another HCV protease inhibitor that was approved for sale in the United States and Europe in 2011. We expect that a number of new therapies for HCV infection will become available to patients over the next several years. The most advanced potentially competitive drug candidates are Gilead Sciences, Inc.'s, or Gilead's, sofosbuvir (GS-7977) and Janssen's simeprevir (TMC435). Gilead and Janssen have filed NDAs for sofosbuvir and simeprevir, respectively, and each of these drug candidates may be approved as treatments for genotype 1 HCV infection in combination with pegylated-interferon, or peg-IFN, and RBV, in 2013. The top-line results reported by Gilead and Janssen from Phase 3 clinical trials suggest that the safety and efficacy profiles of sofosbuvir and simeprevir will position them, if approved, to potentially take a significant portion of the market for HCV therapies.
We plan to compete in the HCV infection market as it shifts away from current treatment regimens (including our INCIVEK triple-combination therapy) to regimens that incorporate new drugs with improved safety, efficacy and/or tolerability, by pursuing development of all-oral, interferon-free regimens incorporating our HCV nucleotide analogue VX-135. A number of pharmaceutical companies are investigating combination regimens that incorporate one or more of an HCV protease inhibitor, an HCV nucleotide analogue, an HCV non-nucleotide polymerase inhibitor or an NS5A inhibitor. Clinical trials of these investigational combination regimens are being conducted in a wide variety of patient populations, including treatment-naïve and treatment-failure patients, and across all HCV genotypes, which respond differently to different combinations of molecules employing different mechanisms. In the future, we expect that the market for any specific HCV treatment regimen, including INCIVEK triple-combination therapy, could be affected by the introduction of new competitive drugs or drug combinations, sales from currently approved drugs, adverse information regarding the safety characteristics or efficacy of the regimen, significant new information regarding potential treatment regimens being evaluated in clinical trials and enrollment of patients in clinical trials being conducted by us or our competitors. While it is possible that a portion of patients with HCV infection would continue to benefit from treatment regimens that include peg-IFN, we expect that treatment regimens that include the administration of peg-IFN by injection will command a relatively small portion of the overall market.
We are evaluating potential all-oral treatment regimens that include our HCV nucleotide analogue VX-135 in planned and ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials in order to determine which regimen or regimens appear likely to provide benefits to patients and to advance into Phase 3 clinical development. We currently are evaluating VX-135 in combination with RBV, Janssen's HCV protease inhibitor simeprevir and Bristol-Myers Squibb's, or BMS's, NS5A replicon complex inhibitor daclatasvir.
Some of our competitors' potential all-oral treatment regimens are more advanced, including all-oral treatment regimens that are being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials by Gilead and Abbvie, Inc. While the development and regulatory timelines for drug candidates for the treatment of HCV infection are subject to risk and uncertainty, we believe that (i) substantial additional clinical data regarding potential all-oral treatment regimens will become available in 2013 and (ii) it is possible that one or more all-oral treatment regimens for genotype 1 HCV infection could be commercially available as soon as late 2014. As a result, if we are successful in developing all-oral treatment regimens that include VX-135, independently or with a collaborator, it is likely that our all-oral treatment regimens would compete directly with one or more previously approved all-oral treatment regimens.

Recent Developments
Ivacaftor - Phase 3 Label-expansion Clinical Trial
In July 2013, we disclosed data from a Phase 3 label-expansion clinical trial that enrolled 39 patients six years of age and older with CF who have at least one non-G551D CFTR gating mutation. The clinical trial met its primary endpoint of absolute change from baseline in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second, or FEV1. Patients in this clinical trial received either ivacaftor or placebo for eight weeks, followed by a four-week washout period. After the washout period, patients who received placebo in the first eight weeks received ivacaftor for the final eight weeks, and patients who received ivacaftor for the first eight weeks received placebo for the final eight weeks. The primary analysis was conducted at week 20 of the clinical trial. The result of statistical testing is often defined in terms of a "p-value," with p<0.05 generally considered to represent a statistically significant difference. After the 20 week cross-over period, patients were eligible to receive ivacaftor as part of a 16 week open-label dosing period.
In this clinical trial, the mean absolute treatment difference in percent predicted FEV1 between treatment with ivacaftor and placebo was 10.7% (p<0.0001) and the mean relative treatment difference in percent predicted FEV1 was 14.2% (p<0.0001) through the 8-week treatment period. The mean absolute and relative percent predicted FEV1 improvements during ivacaftor treatment (within-group) were 7.5% (p<0.0001) and 10.8% (p<0.0001), respectively. Additionally, treatment with ivacaftor in this clinical trial resulted in statistically significant improvements in weight gain and improvements in patient-reported quality of life as measured by the respiratory domain of the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised (CFQ-R). The safety and tolerability results observed in this clinical trial were consistent with those observed in prior Phase 3 clinical trials of ivacaftor monotherapy in patients with CF who have the G551D mutation. The most commonly observed adverse events, regardless of treatment assignment, included pulmonary exacerbation, cough, headache and abdominal pain, each occurring more frequently while patients received placebo than while patients received ivacaftor.
Based on these data, we plan to submit an sNDA in the United States and an MAA variation in the European Union in the second half of 2013 for the use of ivacaftor monotherapy in patients with CF six years of age and older who have at least one non-G551D CFTR gating mutation. We estimate that approximately 400 patients six years of age and older with CF have a non-G551D gating mutation worldwide.
VX-135
In July 2013, the FDA placed a partial clinical hold on our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in the United States in which we are evaluating VX-135 in combination with RBV in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. The partial clinical hold prevents us from evaluating a 200 mg dose of VX-135 in the United States following observation of reversible elevated liver enzymes in patients who received 400 mg of VX-135 in combination with RBV in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe.
Multiple clinical trials to evaluate potential all-oral treatment regimens that include VX-135 are ongoing, as follows:
•
U.S. Clinical Trial of VX-135 in Combination with Ribavirin. Dosing of 100 mg of VX-135 in combination with RBV as part of a 12-week Phase 2 clinical trial in the United States is ongoing, and evaluation of this dose group is continuing as planned. Ten patients with genotype 1 HCV infection are enrolled in this dose group, and all patients have now completed at least ten weeks of treatment. We expect complete safety and efficacy results from the 100 mg arm of this clinical trial to be available in the second half of 2013. Under the partial clinical hold, we plan to complete evaluation of the 100 mg dose of VX-135 but will not evaluate a 200 mg dose of VX-135 in the United States without authorization from the FDA. At the request of the FDA, we expect to complete submission of additional clinical, preclinical and pharmacokinetic data in the fourth quarter of 2013.
•
European Clinical Trial of VX-135 in Combination with Ribavirin. Dosing of 100 mg and 200 mg of VX-135 in combination with RBV as part of a 12-week Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe is complete, and all patients are in the post-treatment follow-up period. Ten patients with genotype 1 HCV infection were enrolled in each dose group, and all 20 patients completed 12 weeks of treatment. Both the 100 mg and 200 mg doses were well tolerated, no serious adverse events have been reported and no liver or cardiac safety issues have been identified in these dose groups. All patients in these dose groups achieved undetectable HCV RNA during the 12-week dosing period, and 70 percent and 80 percent of patients in the 100 mg and 200 mg dosing arms, respectively, had undetectable HCV RNA levels within four weeks of initiating treatment. HCV RNA levels were undetectable at the end of the treatment period in all patients with available data. Complete safety and efficacy results from the 100 mg and 200 mg arms of this clinical trial are expected to be available in the second half of 2013.
Following completion of enrollment in the 100 mg and 200 mg arms of the European clinical trial, the clinical trial design was amended to add the evaluation of a 400 mg dose of VX-135 in combination with RBV in ten patients with

Table of Contents

genotype 1 HCV infection. Elevated liver enzymes were observed in three of the ten patients in this dose group, including one serious adverse event, and the 400 mg arm of the clinical trial was discontinued. Following the discontinuation of dosing, liver enzyme levels returned to baseline in all three patients.
•
Clinical Trial of 100 mg and 200 mg Doses of VX-135 in Combination with Daclatasvir. We, in collaboration with BMS, recently initiated dosing of VX-135 in combination with daclatasvir, an NS5A replication complex inhibitor being developed by BMS, in a Phase 2 clinical trial in New Zealand. The first part of this clinical trial will evaluate 100 mg and 200 mg doses of VX-135 in combination with daclatasvir for 12 weeks in approximately 20 patients who have genotype 1 HCV infection. Pending data from the first part of the clinical trial, we and BMS plan to expand this clinical trial to enroll additional patients with either genotype 1 or 3 HCV infection. Safety and efficacy data from the first part of this clinical trial are expected to be available in early 2014.
•
VX-135 in Combination with Simeprevir. A drug-drug interaction clinical trial of VX-135 in combination with simeprevir in healthy volunteers is complete. A clinical trial to evaluate the combination of VX-135 and simeprevir is planned for the second half of 2013 in patients who have genotype 1 HCV infection, pending availability of additional data. Simeprevir, or TMC435, is an investigational HCV protease inhibitor being jointly developed by Janssen R&D Ireland and Medivir AB.
Termination of GlaxoSmithKline Collaboration
In June 2013, we and GlaxoSmithKline plc mutually decided to cease the collaboration for a Phase 2 clinical trial of VX-135 and GSK 2336805 and prioritize other projects. The preclinical and early-stage clinical data support continued development of VX-135 and of GSK 2336805.
Regulatory Compliance
Our marketing of pharmaceutical products, which began in 2011, is subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations. We have a corporate compliance program designed to actively identify, prevent and mitigate risk through the implementation of compliance policies and systems and the promotion of a culture of compliance. Among other laws, regulations and standards, we are subject to various U.S. federal and state and comparable foreign laws pertaining to health care fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback and false claims statutes, and laws prohibiting the promotion of drugs for unapproved, or off-label, uses. Anti-kickback laws make it illegal for a prescription drug manufacturer to solicit, offer, receive or pay any remuneration in exchange for, or to induce, the referral of business, including the purchase or prescription of a particular drug. False claims laws prohibit anyone from presenting for payment to third-party payors, including Medicare and Medicaid, claims for reimbursed drugs or services that are false or fraudulent, claims for items or services not provided as claimed or claims for medically unnecessary items or services. We expect to continue to devote substantial resources to maintain, administer and expand these compliance programs globally.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Vertex
Net loss attributable to Vertex was $(57.2) million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to net loss attributable to Vertex of $(64.9) million in the second quarter of 2012. Our revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to decreased INCIVEK net product revenues partially offset by increased KALYDECO net product revenues and increased INCIVO royalties. Our operating expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to a $78.0 million write-off in the second quarter of 2012 for excess and obsolete INCIVEK inventories and decreased sales, general and administrative expenses partially offset by increased research and development expenses.
For the first half of 2013, net loss attributable to Vertex was $(365.2) million as compared to net income attributable to Vertex of $26.7 million for the first half of 2012. Our revenues decreased in the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of 2012 due to decreased INCIVEK net product revenues partially offset by increased KALYDECO net product revenues and increased INCIVO royalties. Our operating costs and expenses increased from $776.2 million in the first half of 2012 to $1.1 billion in the first half of 2013. The increase in operating expenses from the first half of 2012 to the first half of 2013 was primarily due to a $412.9 million intangible asset impairment charge for VX-222 recorded in the first quarter of 2013 partially offset by the $78.0 million write-off in the second quarter of 2012 for excess and obsolete INCIVEK inventories.
Stock-based compensation expense was $41.4 million and $31.4 million in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $72.6 million and $59.1 million in the first half of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Vertex per Diluted Share
Net loss attributable to Vertex was $(0.26) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to net loss attributable to Vertex of $(0.31) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012. Net loss attributable to Vertex was $(1.67) per diluted share in the first half of 2013 compared to net income attributable to Vertex of $0.12 in first half of 2012.
Common Shares Outstanding
Our shares of outstanding common stock increased by 14.9 million shares from 217.3 million shares on December 31, 2012 to 232.2 million shares on June 30, 2013 due to the approximately 8.3 million shares of common stock we issued in connection with the conversions of our 3.35% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2015, or 2015 Notes, and the approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock we issued pursuant to our employee equity programs.

Our total net product revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to decreased INCIVEK net product revenues in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by increased KALYDECO net product revenues in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012. In the second half of 2013, we expect that total product revenues will continue to be lower than the comparable 2012 periods due to expected decreases in INCIVEK net product revenues.
INCIVEK net product revenues have been declining on a quarterly basis since reaching a peak in the fourth quarter of 2011 and declined by 24% in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. The declines in INCIVEK net product revenues have been principally due to decreasing numbers of patients with genotype 1 HCV infection who are choosing to start treatment with available treatment options. We believe these decreases are the result of a combination of factors, including safety and efficacy data that have been reported by our competitors regarding treatment regimens for HCV infection that may become commercially available over the next several years, including two new treatment regimens that may receive approval in the second half of this year.
We began marketing KALYDECO in the United States in the first quarter of 2012 and in certain international markets in the third quarter of 2012. KALYDECO net product revenues were $99.0 million in the second quarter of 2013, including $44.2 million of net product revenues from international markets. KALYDECO net product revenues increased by 60% in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. This increase in KALYDECO net product revenues was the result of additional European countries beginning to provide reimbursement for KALYDECO effective at the beginning of the second quarter of 2013. We believe that most eligible patients in the United States and Europe received treatment with KALYDECO in the second quarter of 2013 and that KALYDECO net product revenues in each of the third and fourth quarters of 2013 will be similar to KALYDECO net product revenues in the second quarter of 2013.
Royalty Revenues
Our royalty revenues increased by $15.6 million from $33.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $49.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 due to increased royalty revenues from sales of INCIVO by Janssen. Mitsubishi Tanabe's license to market telaprevir in Japan is fully paid.
We recognized royalty revenues related to sales by GlaxoSmithKline of an HIV protease inhibitor that was discovered and developed pursuant to a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline of $4.8 million and $9.4 million in the second quarter and first half of 2013, compared to $5.5 million and $11.6 million in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively. We sold our rights to these HIV royalties in 2008 for a one-time cash payment of $160.0 million.

Our collaborative revenues from Janssen relate to the amortization of an up-front payment we received in 2006, net reimbursements (payments) for telaprevir development costs and reimbursements for manufacturing services. We do not expect to earn any future milestone payments pursuant to this collaboration agreement with Janssen.
In the first half of 2012, we recognized collaborative revenues related to a one-time payment that we received from Mitsubishi Tanabe in 2009 and revenues related to manufacturing services we provided to Mitsubishi Tanabe through our third-party manufacturing network. We did not recognize any collaborative revenues from Mitsubishi Tanabe in the first half of 2013 and do not expect to recognize any future collaborative revenues pursuant to our collaboration agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe.

Cost of Product Revenues
Our cost of product revenues includes the cost of producing inventories that corresponded to product revenues for the reporting period, plus the third-party royalties payable on our net sales of INCIVEK and KALYDECO. Cost of product revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 and in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012. These decreases were primarily due to a $78.0 million write-off of excess and obsolete INCIVEK inventories we recognized in the second quarter of 2012.
Royalty Expenses
Royalty expenses include third-party royalties payable upon net sales of telaprevir by our collaborators and royalty expenses related to a subroyalty payable to a third party on net sales of an HIV protease inhibitor sold by GlaxoSmithKline. Royalty expenses in the second quarter of 2013 increased by $3.4 million, or 34%, compared to the second quarter of 2012, and increased by $1.9 million, or 8%, in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 as a result of increased INCIVO sales by Janssen.

Our research and development expenses include internal and external costs incurred for research and development of our drugs and drug candidates. We do not assign our internal costs, such as salary and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, laboratory supplies and other direct expenses and infrastructure costs, to individual drugs or drug candidates, because the employees within our research and development groups typically are deployed across multiple research and development programs. These internal costs are significantly greater than our external costs, such as the costs of services provided to us by clinical research organizations and other outsourced research, which we do allocate by individual program. All research and development costs for our drugs and drug candidates are expensed as incurred.
To date, we have incurred in excess of $5.9 billion in research and development expenses associated with drug discovery and development. The successful development of our drug candidates is highly uncertain and subject to a number of risks. In addition, the duration of clinical trials may vary substantially according to the type, complexity and novelty of the drug candidate and the disease indication being targeted. The FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries impose substantial requirements on the introduction of therapeutic pharmaceutical products, typically requiring lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling activities and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Data obtained from nonclinical and clinical activities at any step in the testing process may be adverse and lead to discontinuation or redirection of development activities. Data obtained from these activities also are susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. The duration and cost of discovery, nonclinical studies and clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project and are difficult to predict. Therefore, accurate and meaningful estimates of the ultimate costs to bring our drug candidates to market are not available.
In recent years, costs related to our HCV and CF programs have represented the largest portion of our development costs. Any estimates regarding development and regulatory timelines for our drug candidates are highly subjective and subject to change. In the first half of 2013, we initiated a pivotal Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate VX-809 in combination with ivacaftor. If these clinical trials are successful, we plan to submit an NDA to the FDA in 2014. We cannot make a meaningful estimate when, if ever, our other clinical development programs will generate revenues and cash flows.

Our development expenses increased by $19.7 million, or 14%, in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012, principally due to increased compensation expenses and drug supply costs. Our development expenses increased by $41.0 million, or 15%, in the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of 2012, principally due to increased compensation expenses, contractual services expenses and drug supply costs. We expect our development expenses to increase in 2013 as compared to 2012 due to ongoing and planned clinical trials in the areas of CF, HCV infection and autoimmune diseases.

Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 9% and 13% in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2012, primarily due to decreased INCIVEK and KALYDECO marketing expenses in the United States, partially offset by increased KALYDECO marketing expenses in international markets.
Restructuring Expense
Our restructuring expense relates to remaining lease obligations for space that we do not occupy following restructuring activities in 2003. As of June 30, 2013, our accrued restructuring liability was $22.1 million.
In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded restructuring expense of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded restructuring expense of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we made cash payments of $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, against the accrued restructuring expense and received $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in sublease rental payments. During the remainder of 2013, we expect to make additional cash payments of $7.8 million against the accrued restructuring expense and to receive $5.3 million in sublease rental payments.

Intangible Asset Impairment Charge
In the first quarter of 2013, we evaluated for impairment VX-222, an HCV polymerase inhibitor that we acquired through our acquisition of ViroChem Pharma Inc. in 2009. We evaluated the fair value of VX-222 from the perspective of a market participant and, based on our analysis, determined that the fair value of VX-222 was zero as of March 31, 2013. Accordingly, we recorded a $412.9 million impairment charge in the first half of 2013. In connection with this impairment charge, we recorded a credit of $127.6 million in our provision for income taxes, resulting in a net effect on net loss attributable to Vertex related to this impairment charge of $285.3 million in the first half of 2013.
Other Items, net
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net was $(6.6) million and $(11.2) million in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, compared to $(3.6) million and $(7.4) million in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively. Other income (expense), net consists of interest income, interest expense and realized foreign exchange gain (loss). The increase in other income (expense), net in the second quarter and first half of 2013 compared to the second quarter and first half of 2012 was due to additional interest expense recorded due to the conversion of our 2015 Notes, which occurred in the second quarter of 2013.
Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 2013, we recorded a net benefit from income taxes of $1.8 million. This benefit from income taxes was due to a benefit from income taxes of $2.4 million attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) offset by a provision for income taxes of $0.6 million attributable to Vertex. In the first quarter of 2013, we determined that the fair value of VX-222 was zero, which resulted in an impairment charge of $412.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. In connection with this impairment charge, we wrote-off the associated deferred tax liability of $127.6 million as a benefit in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for first half of 2013.
For the second quarter and first half of 2012, we recorded a benefit from income taxes attributable to Vertex of $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a provision for income taxes attributable to Vertex of $1.1 million. These were due to state income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a provision for income taxes attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) of $21.2 million and $19.0 million, respectively.
Noncontrolling Interest (Alios)
The net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of operations reflects Alios’ net loss (income) for the reporting period, adjusted for any changes during the reporting period in the fair value of the contingent milestone and royalty payments payable by us to Alios BioPharma, Inc., or Alios.
A summary of net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest (Alios) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the fair value of the contingent milestone payments and royalties payable by us to Alios related to the HCV nucleotide analogue program decreased by $0.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the fair value of contingent milestone and royalty payments increased by $56.2 million and $55.2 million, respectively, primarily because we received positive clinical data from a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating ALS-2200, now being developed as VX-135, which increased the probability that Alios would earn future payments from us under the license and collaboration agreement we entered into with Alios in June 2011.
Since June 2011, the fair value of the contingent milestone and royalty payments payable by us to Alios has increased by $182.1 million as a result of the advances in the clinical development program for VX-135. Increases in the fair value of the contingent milestone payments and royalties payable by us to Alios result in a decrease in net income attributable to Vertex (or an increase in net loss attributable to Vertex) on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If VX-135 continues to advance in clinical development, we expect to record additional increases in the fair value of these contingent milestone and royalty payments. Changes in the fair value of these contingent milestone and royalty payments and the effects of these changes on net income were material in the periods presented and may be material in future periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, excluding Alios’ cash and cash equivalents, of $1.4 billion, which was an increase of $109.5 million from $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2012. This increase was due to cash receipts from product sales and royalties and $207.9 million in cash we received from issuances of common stock pursuant to employee benefit plans, partially offset by cash expenditures we made during the first half of 2013 related to, among other things, research and development expenses and sales, general and administrative expenses, as well as $74.8 million for capital expenditures for property and equipment. In addition, in the first half of 2013, we began supporting $31.9 million in irrevocable stand-by letters of credit issued in support of property leases and other similar agreements with an unsecured credit facility with a one-year term. We previously had cash-collateralized these stand-by letters of credit. As a result of this credit facility, our restricted cash decreased by $31.8 million net of other activity recorded during the period and our cash and cash equivalents increased by a corresponding amount.
As of December 31, 2012, we had $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes. In addition to the $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount, which was scheduled to mature on October 1, 2015, we were scheduled to make interest payments in an aggregate amount of $33.5 million during the period from June 30, 2013 through October 1, 2015. In the second quarter of 2013, we called the 2015 Notes for redemption pursuant to a soft-call provision in the 2015 Notes that permitted us to call the 2015 Notes if the price of our common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price over a specified period. In response to our call of the 2015 Notes for redemption, the holders of the 2015 Notes converted the 2015 Notes into 8.2 million shares of our common stock and received an additional 0.1 million shares of our common stock to compensate them for the semi-annual interest payment that would have been payable on October 1, 2013. As a result of these conversions, as of June 30, 2013, we had no remaining 2015 Notes and our future cash commitments related to the 2015 Notes had been reduced by $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes plus the associated future interest payments.
Sources of Liquidity
We intend to rely on cash flows from product sales as our primary source of liquidity and cash flows from royalties as a secondary source of liquidity. Our cash flows from product sales have been decreasing in recent periods and our ability to increase cash flows from product sales will be dependent on the outcomes of clinical trials evaluating KALYDECO monotherapy in additional patient populations and on whether we are successful in introducing one or more of our drug candidates in late-stage development to the market. In recent periods, we also have received significant proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee benefit plans, but the amount and timing of future proceeds from employee benefits plans is uncertain. Other possible sources of liquidity include commercial debt, public and private offerings of our equity and debt securities, strategic collaborative agreements that include research and/or development funding, development milestones and royalties on the sales of products, software and equipment leases, strategic sales of assets or businesses and financial transactions.
Future Capital Requirements
We are incurring substantial expenses to commercialize INCIVEK and KALYDECO, while at the same time continuing focused investment in our research and development programs. In addition, we have substantial facility and capital lease obligations, including leases for two buildings at Fan Pier that continue through 2028.


37
Table of Contents

We expect that cash flows from INCIVEK/INCIVO and KALYDECO together with our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months. The adequacy of our available funds to meet our future operating and capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the amounts of future revenues generated by INCIVEK/INCIVO and KALYDECO, and the number, breadth, cost and prospects of our research and development programs.
Financing Strategy
Although we do not have any plans to do so in the near term, we may raise additional capital through public offerings or private placements of our securities, securing new collaborative agreements or other methods of financing. We will continue to manage our capital structure and to consider all financing opportunities, whenever they may occur, that could strengthen our long-term liquidity profile. There can be no assurance that any such financing opportunities will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS
Our commitments and obligations were reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 1, 2013. There have been no material changes from the contractual commitments and obligations previously disclosed in that Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that as of June 30, 2013 none of our 2015 Notes remained outstanding and as a result our total commitments and obligations for 2013-2015 decreased by $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes plus the associated future interest payments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. These items are monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which the change occurs. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Refer to Note A, "Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies," in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended June 30, 2013 that had a material effect on our financial statements.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As part of our investment portfolio, we own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risks. The investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital until it is required to fund operations, including our research and development activities. None of these market risk-sensitive instruments are held for trading purposes. We do not have derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk
We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, principally securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, investment grade corporate bonds and commercial paper, and money market funds. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. All of our interest-bearing securities are subject to interest rate risk and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Substantially all of our investment portfolio consists of marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to help ensure portfolio liquidity, and we have implemented guidelines limiting the term-to-maturity of our


38

investment instruments. Due to the conservative nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Market Risk
As a result of our foreign operations, we face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Euro, Swiss Franc, British Pound and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. dollar. The current exposures arise primarily from cash, accounts receivable, intercompany receivables, payables and inventories, and calculations of royalties receivable from net sales denominated in foreign currencies. Both positive and negative affects to our net revenues from international product sales from movements in foreign currency exchange rates are partially mitigated by the natural, opposite affect that foreign currency exchange rates have on our international operating expenses.
We are considering a foreign currency management program with the objective of reducing the volatility of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results and to increase the visibility of the foreign exchange impact on forecasted revenues.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, as of June 30, 2013 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
On September 6, 2012, a purported shareholder class action, City of Bristol Pension Fund v. Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, naming us and certain of our current and former officers and directors as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that we made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in our public disclosures during the period from May 7, 2012 through June 28, 2012, all in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. By order dated December 12, 2012, the court appointed the City of Bristol lead plaintiff and appointed the City of Bristol's attorneys lead counsel. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 11, 2013. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 12, 2013. On May 28, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss the complaint. On June 27, 2013, we filed a reply in further support of our motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' complaint. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, as well as disgorgement of the proceeds from certain individual defendants' sales of our common stock. We believe that this action is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Information regarding risk factors appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in that Annual Report on Form 10-K except:

Table of Contents

In July 2013, the FDA placed our U.S. clinical trial evaluating VX-135, a drug candidate for the treatment of HCV infection, on partial clinical hold, and our business may be adversely affected if we cannot develop VX-135 or if we are significantly delayed in developing VX-135.
We are developing our HCV nucleotide analogue VX-135 as a potential treatment for HCV infection. In July 2013, the FDA placed a partial clinical hold on our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in the United States of VX-135 in combination with RBV in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. The partial clinical hold prevents us from evaluating a 200 mg dose of VX-135 in the United States following observation of reversible elevated liver enzymes in patients who received 400 mg of VX-135 in combination with RBV in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe. There is no assurance that the FDA will lift the partial clinical hold after we submit additional clinical, preclinical and pharmacokinetic data from ongoing VX-135 clinical trials or that we will be able to successfully develop VX-135. If we are not able to develop VX-135, or if our progress in developing VX-135 is slowed significantly, our business may be adversely affected.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be important in determining future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from expected results. We also provide a cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013. These are factors and uncertainties that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors and uncertainties besides those listed there could also adversely affect us.
Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the forward-looking statements contained herein represent our estimate only as of the date of this filing and should not be relied upon as representing our estimate as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.

The repurchases were made under the terms of our Amended and Restated 2006 Stock and Option Plan. Under this plan, we award shares of restricted stock to our employees that typically are subject to a lapsing right of repurchase by us. We may exercise this right of repurchase if a restricted stock recipient’s service to us is terminated. If we exercise this right, we are required to repay the purchase price paid by or on behalf of the recipient for the repurchased restricted shares, which typically is the par value per share of $0.01. Repurchased shares are returned to the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock and Option Plan and are available for future awards under the terms of that plan.
