"2024 continues to be highlighted by important progress across both our clinical pipeline and commercial portfolio of best-in-class opioid-sparing products that delivered solid third quarter sales," said Frank D. Lee, chief executive officer of Pacira BioSciences. "Looking at the remainder of the year, we intend to build on this momentum by advancing our strategy for long-term growth and value creation, which includes investing in a best-practice commercial organization and innovative pipeline of potentially transformational assets, such as PCRX-201."
"The work we have completed this year positions us to enter 2025 from a new place of focus, commitment, and strategic strength. We are confident the investments we are making will support and expand our leadership in non-opioid pain management and ensure we are positioned for sustainable success," continued Mr. Lee.
Recent Business Highlights
•Final CMS Rule Issued for EXPAREL and iovera° in Outpatient Settings. In November 2024, the CMS issued its final Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and Medicare Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Payment System rule for 2025, which implements the Non-Opioids Prevent Addiction in the Nation (NOPAIN) Act that mandates separate Medicare payment for qualifying non-opioid drugs and devices. In the final rule, CMS confirmed that both EXPAREL and iovera° qualify as eligible non-opioid pain management products under the NOPAIN Act. Hospital outpatient departments
(HOPDs) and ASCs that use these products will receive additional Medicare reimbursement beginning January 1, 2025.
•Shawn Cross Appointed as Chief Financial Officer. In October 2024, the company appointed Shawn Cross as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Cross brings more than 25 years of experience as a biotechnology executive, board member and investment banker. Most recently, Mr. Cross served in executive positions of increasing responsibility at Applied Molecular Transport, Inc. (AMT) where he was ultimately named Chief Executive Officer to lead the company's merger with Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc., where he currently serves on the Board of Directors. His biopharmaceutical investment banking career includes senior leadership roles at JMP Securities, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.
•New Product-Specific J-Code for EXPAREL. In October 2024, the company announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established a permanent product-specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) J-code for EXPAREL. The new J-code for EXPAREL, J0666, becomes effective January 1, 2025, and will supersede the current C-code (C9290), which has been in place since 2019. In addition to the separate CMS reimbursement EXPAREL will receive in outpatient settings with the implementation of NOPAIN in January 2025, this new J-code will also provide reimbursement when EXPAREL is used in the office setting and for office-based surgeries.
•Presentation of Two-year Safety and Efficacy Data Following Local Administration of PCRX-201 for Moderate to Severe Osteoarthritis of the Knee. In September 2024, Pacira announced the upcoming presentation of new data in support of its gene therapy candidate, PCRX-201. The data will be presented at the American College of Rheumatology's annual ACR Converge meeting, being held in Washington, D.C. The data will be presented on Sunday, November 17 in a poster session taking place from 10:30AM to 12:30PM ET by Stanley Cohen, MD, a board-certified rheumatologist and Co-Medical Director of the Metroplex Clinical Research Center in Dallas, TX.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP cost of goods sold, non-GAAP research and development (R&D) expense, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, non-GAAP goodwill impairment, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per common share, non-GAAP weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and adjusted EBITDA, because these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of items that management believes affect comparability or underlying business trends.
These measures supplement the company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pacira management uses these measures to better analyze its financial results, estimate its future cost of goods sold, R&D expense and SG&A expense outlook for 2024 and to help make managerial decisions. In management's opinion, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of the company's financial statements by providing greater transparency into the ongoing operating performance of Pacira and its future outlook. Such measures should not be deemed to be an alternative to GAAP requirements or a measure of liquidity for Pacira. The non-GAAP measures presented here are also unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP disclosures released by other companies. See the tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.
Inducement Grants Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)
Pacira today announced the granting of inducement awards on November 4, 2024 to 11 new employees under Pacira's Amended and Restated 2014 Inducement Plan as a material inducement to each employee's entry into employment with the company.

4 employees received stock options to purchase an aggregate of 19,200 shares of Pacira common stock and 11 employees received restricted stock units for an aggregate of 36,000 shares of Pacira common stock.
The stock options have a 10-year term and a four-year vesting schedule with 25 percent of the underlying shares vesting on the first anniversary of the recipient's first day of employment and in successive equal quarterly installments over the 36 months thereafter. The stock options have an exercise price of $16.45 per share, the closing trading price of Pacira common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right
to receive one share of Pacira common stock and the restricted stock unit awards vest annually in four equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of November 1, 2024.
Vesting of the equity awards is subject to the employee's continued employment with Pacira. Each equity award is also subject to the terms and conditions of an award agreement.
About Pacira
Pacira delivers innovative, non-opioid pain therapies to transform the lives of patients. Pacira has three commercial-stage non-opioid treatments: EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), a long-acting local analgesic currently approved for infiltration, fascial plane block, and as an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block, an adductor canal nerve block, and a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa for postsurgical pain management; ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension), an extended-release, intra-articular injection indicated for the management of osteoarthritis knee pain; and ioveraº®, a novel, handheld device for delivering immediate, long-acting, drug-free pain control using precise, controlled doses of cold temperature to a targeted nerve. The company is also advancing the development of PCRX-201, a novel locally administered gene therapy with the potential to treat large prevalent diseases like osteoarthritis. To learn more about Pacira, visit www.pacira.com.
About EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension)
EXPAREL is indicated to produce postsurgical local analgesia via infiltration in patients aged 6 years and older, and postsurgical regional analgesia via an interscalene brachial plexus block in adults, a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa in adults, and an adductor canal block in adults. The safety and effectiveness of EXPAREL have not been established to produce postsurgical regional analgesia via other nerve blocks besides an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block, a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa, or an adductor canal block. The product combines bupivacaine with multivesicular liposomes, a proven product delivery technology that delivers medication over a desired time period. EXPAREL represents the first and only multivesicular liposome local anesthetic that can be utilized in the peri- or postsurgical setting. By utilizing the multivesicular liposome platform, a single dose of EXPAREL delivers bupivacaine over time, providing significant reductions in cumulative pain scores with up to a 78 percent decrease in opioid consumption; the clinical benefit of the opioid reduction was not demonstrated. Additional information is available at www.EXPAREL.com.
Important Safety Information about EXPAREL for Patients
EXPAREL should not be used in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia. In studies in adults where EXPAREL was injected into a wound, the most common side effects were nausea, constipation, and vomiting. In studies in adults where EXPAREL was injected near a nerve, the most common side effects were nausea, fever, and constipation. In the study where EXPAREL was given to children, the most common side effects were nausea, vomiting, constipation, low blood pressure, low number of red blood cells, muscle twitching, blurred vision, itching, and rapid heartbeat. EXPAREL can cause a temporary loss of feeling and/or loss of muscle movement. How much and how long the loss of feeling and/or muscle movement depends on where and how much of EXPAREL was injected and may last for up to 5 days. EXPAREL is not recommended to be used in patients younger than 6 years old for injection into the wound, for patients younger than 18 years old, for injection near a nerve, and/or in pregnant women. Tell your health care provider if you or your child has liver disease, since this may affect how the active ingredient (bupivacaine) in EXPAREL is eliminated from the body. EXPAREL should not be injected into the spine, joints, or veins. The active ingredient in EXPAREL can affect the nervous system and the cardiovascular system; may cause an allergic reaction; may cause damage if injected into the joints; and can cause a rare blood disorder.
About ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension)
On October 6, 2017, ZILRETTA was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the first and only extended-release intra-articular therapy for patients confronting osteoarthritis (OA)- related knee pain. ZILRETTA employs proprietary microsphere technology combining triamcinolone acetonide-a commonly administered, short-acting corticosteroid-with a poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) matrix to provide extended pain relief. The pivotal Phase 3 trial on which the approval of ZILRETTA was based showed that ZILRETTA significantly reduced OA knee pain for 12 weeks, with some people experiencing pain relief through Week 16. Learn more at www.zilretta.com.
Indication and Select Important Safety Information for ZILRETTA
Indication: ZILRETTA is indicated as an intra-articular injection for the management of OA pain of the knee. Limitation of Use: The efficacy and safety of repeat administration of ZILRETTA have not been demonstrated.
Contraindication: ZILRETTA is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to triamcinolone acetonide, corticosteroids or any components of the product.
Warnings and Precautions:
•Intra-articular Use Only: ZILRETTA has not been evaluated and should not be administered by epidural, intrathecal, intravenous, intraocular, intramuscular, intradermal, or subcutaneous routes. ZILRETTA should not be considered safe for epidural or intrathecal administration.
•Serious Neurologic Adverse Reactions with Epidural and Intrathecal Administration: Serious neurologic events have been reported following epidural or intrathecal corticosteroid administration. Corticosteroids are not approved for this use.
•Hypersensitivity reactions: Serious reactions have been reported with triamcinolone acetonide injection. Institute appropriate care if an anaphylactic reaction occurs.
•Joint infection and damage: A marked increase in joint pain, joint swelling, restricted motion, fever and malaise may suggest septic arthritis. If this occurs, conduct appropriate evaluation and if confirmed, institute appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
Adverse Reactions: The most commonly reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) in clinical studies included sinusitis, cough, and contusions.

About iovera°®
The iovera° system uses the body's natural response to cold to treat peripheral nerves and immediately reduce pain without the use of drugs. Treated nerves are temporarily stopped from sending pain signals for a period of time, followed by a restoration of function. Treatment with iovera° works by applying targeted cold to a peripheral nerve. A precise cold zone is formed under the skin that is cold enough to immediately prevent the nerve from sending pain signals without causing damage to surrounding structures. The effect on the nerve is temporary, providing pain relief until the nerve regenerates and function is restored. Treatment with iovera° does not include injection of any substance, opioid, or any other drug. The effect is immediate and can last up to 90 days. The iovera° system is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue. Additional information is available at www.iovera.com.
Indication and Select Important Safety Information for iovera°®
Indication: iovera° applies freezing cold to peripheral nerve tissue to block and/or relieve pain for up to 90 days. It should not be used to treat central nervous system tissue.
Important Safety Information
⦁ Do not receive treatment with iovera° if you experience hypersensitivity to cold or have open and/or infected wounds near the treatment site.
⦁ You may experience bruising, swelling, inflammation and/or redness, local pain and/or tenderness, and altered feeling at the site of application.
⦁ In treatment area(s), you may experience damage to the skin, skin darkening or lightening, and dimples in the skin.
⦁ You may experience a temporary loss of your ability to use your muscles normally outside of the treatment area.
⦁ Talk to your doctor before receiving treatment with iovera°.

Pacira BioSciences, Inc.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information (continued)
(unaudited)
|
(1) In February 2024, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to ensure it is well positioned for long-term growth. The restructuring plan includes: (i) reshaping the Company's executive team; (ii) reallocating efforts and resources from the Company's ex-U.S. and certain early-stage development programs to its commercial portfolio in the U.S. market; and (iii) reprioritizing investments to focus on commercial readiness for the implementation of separate Medicare reimbursement for EXPAREL at average sales price plus 6 percent in outpatient settings beginning in January 2025 and broader commercial initiatives in key areas, such as strategic national accounts, marketing and market access and reimbursement. The charges related to employee termination benefits, severance, and, to a lesser extent, other employment-related termination costs.
|
(2) Approximately $0.8 million and $3.5 million of restructuring charges were excluded from this line item as they are included in the stock-based compensation line item for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
|
(3) Acquisition-related expenses related to vacant and underutilized leases assumed from the acquisition of Flexion Therapeutics, Inc. ("Flexion").
|
(4) During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a generic competitor to EXPAREL and a U.S. District Court ruled that one of our patents was not valid. Due to these events and a subsequent decrease in our common stock price, it was determined these qualitative factors indicated it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill may be less than its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative assessment through a discounted cash flow model (or income approach), which resulted in the carrying value of the Company exceeding its fair value by more than the goodwill balance. As a result, the goodwill balance of $163.2 million was fully impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
|
(5) The Company appointed a new chief executive officer ("CEO") effective January 2, 2024. CEO transition costs include compensation costs related to the transition of the former CEO who remains an advisor to the Company in a consulting capacity.
|
(6) The tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments is computed by: (i) applying the statutory tax rate to the income or expense adjusted items; (ii) applying a zero-tax rate to adjusted items where a valuation allowance exists; and (iii) excluding discrete tax benefits and expenses, primarily associated with tax deductible and non-deductible stock-based compensation.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the GAAP effective income tax rates were approximately (3)% and (30)%, respectively, and the non-GAAP effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were approximately 23% and 24%, respectively, with the difference from GAAP primarily related to the impact of excluding discrete tax expense related to non-deductible goodwill impairment charges. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 also reflected a difference from GAAP related to excluding discrete tax expense for non-deductible stock-based compensation, mainly related to expired stock options.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the GAAP effective income tax rates were approximately 35% and 39%, respectively, and the non-GAAP effective income tax rates for both periods was approximately 24%, with the difference from GAAP primarily due to the impact of excluding discrete tax expenses associated with non-deductible stock-based compensation and tax expenses related to executive compensation.
|
(7) For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no non-GAAP adjustments when calculating the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding or the interest expense add back under the "if-converted" method.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, were excluded from diluted net income per common share on a GAAP basis as the impact would have been antidilutive. These potential securities resulted in a dilutive impact on diluted net income per common share reported on a non-GAAP basis.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-GAAP adjustments to diluted weighted average shares outstanding included the impact of the 2025 Notes as if they converted on the first day of the period presented, which resulted in an additional 2.8 million, 4.2 million and 5.6 million common shares, respectively, upon an assumed conversion and added back $0.5 million, $2.3 million and $3.1 million of interest expense, net of tax, to non-GAAP net income. The Company has the option to settle its 2025 Notes in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock.
