Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2022
Disclosure of voluntary change in accounting policy [abstract]
Basis of Preparation	Basis of Preparation The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.” Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) and as adopted by the European Union (the “EU”). The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial year. A description of the accounting policies is provided in the Accounting Policies section of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, the accounting policy for convertible senior notes and derivative liabilities, applied for the first time in this reporting period, is described below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 3, “Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates”.
Convertible Senior Notes and Derivative Liabilities	Convertible Senior Notes and Derivative Liabilities Convertible senior notes (“convertible notes”) are separated into a financial liability and an embedded derivative component based on the terms and conditions of the contract. The embedded derivative component is accounted for separately if this is not deemed closely related to the financial liability. The convertible notes include an embedded equity conversion option which is not deemed closely related to the financial liability and is therefore initially recognized and measured separately at fair value as a derivative liability based on the stated terms upon issuance of the convertible notes. The conversion option is classified as a foreign currency conversion option which is not convertible into a fixed number of shares for a fixed amount of cash. Accordingly, the conversion option is recognized and measured as a derivative liability at fair value through profit or loss, with any subsequent remeasurement gains or losses recognized as part of financial income or expenses. In addition, the convertible notes include a redemption option, which entitle the Company to redeem the notes at a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption option is closely related to the financial liability, and therefore is not separately accounted for. The initial carrying amount of the financial liability component including the redemption option is the residual amount of the proceeds, net of allocated transaction costs, after separating the derivative component. Transaction costs are apportioned between the financial liability and derivative component based on the allocation of proceeds when the instrument is initially recognized. Transaction costs apportioned to the financial liability component form part of the effective interest and are amortized over the expected lifetime of the liability. Transaction costs allocated to the derivative component are expensed as incurred. The financial liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost until it is extinguished on conversion, optional redemption or upon repayment at maturity. The financial liability is presented as part of borrowings on the statement of financial position.
New International Financial Reporting Standards Not Yet Effective	New International Financial Reporting Standards Not Yet Effective The IASB has issued a number of new or amended standards, which have not yet become effective or have not yet been adopted by the EU. Therefore, these new standards have not been incorporated in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Amendments to IAS 1, “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify: • What is meant by a right to defer settlement; • That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period; • That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right; and • That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. If approved by the EU, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and must be applied retrospectively. The amendments are expected to require the convertible notes (presented as part of borrowings on the statement of financial position) and derivative liabilities, both presented as non-current liabilities at September 30, 2022, to be presented as current liabilities. On September 30, 2022, the carrying amount of convertible notes and derivative liabilities were €434.4 million and €132.7 million, respectively. The consolidated financial statements are not expected to be affected by other new or amended standards.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.” Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) and as adopted by the European Union (the “EU”). The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the previous financial year. A description of the accounting policies is provided in the Accounting Policies section of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, the accounting policy for convertible senior notes and derivative liabilities, applied for the first time in this reporting period, is described below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 3, “Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates”. Convertible Senior Notes and Derivative Liabilities Convertible senior notes (“convertible notes”) are separated into a financial liability and an embedded derivative component based on the terms and conditions of the contract. The embedded derivative component is accounted for separately if this is not deemed closely related to the financial liability.

Amendments to IAS 1, “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.

Share-based Payment

Note 7—Share-based Payment

As an incentive to the Executive Board, employees, members of the Board of Directors and select consultants, Ascendis Pharma A/S has established warrant programs and, since December 2021, a Restricted Stock Unit program (“RSU program”), which are equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

Share-based Compensation Costs

Share-based compensation costs are determined using the grant date fair value of warrants and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) granted and are recognized over the vesting period as research and development costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, or cost of sales. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation costs recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss were €13.5 million and €50.3, respectively, and €13.3 million and €52.7 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Unit Program

RSUs are granted by the Board of Directors in accordance with authorizations given to it by the shareholders of Ascendis Pharma A/S to the Executive Board, select employees and members of the Board of Directors (“RSU-holders”) in accordance with the Company’s RSU program adopted in December 2021. In addition, RSUs may be granted to select consultants. One RSU represents a right for the RSU-holder to receive one ADS of Ascendis Pharma A/S upon vesting if the vesting conditions are met, or waived by the Board of Directors at its discretion.

All RSUs are hedged by treasury shares that have been repurchased in the market. Upon vesting, the Company may at its sole discretion choose to make a cash settlement instead of delivering ADSs.

RSU Activity

The following table specifies the number of RSUs granted, and outstanding RSUs at September 30, 2022:


	Total RSUs
Outstanding at January 1, 2022		148,148

The fair value of RSUs at the date of grant was €123.46 for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was the first date of granting RSUs.

Warrant program

Warrants are granted by the Board of Directors in accordance with authorizations given to it by the shareholders of Ascendis Pharma A/S to all employees, members of the Board of Directors and select consultants (“warrantholders”). Each warrant carries the right to subscribe for one ordinary share of a nominal value of DKK 1. The exercise price is fixed at the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares at the time of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Vested warrants may be exercised in two or four annual exercise periods.

Warrant Activity

The following table specifies the warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:


	Total Warrants			Weighted Average Exercise Price EUR

Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

Sep. 30, 2022

Disclosure of voluntary change in accounting policy [abstract]

Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

Note 3—Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Judgements, estimates and assumptions applied are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant, and which are available at the reporting date. Uncertainty concerning estimates and assumptions could result in outcomes, that require a material adjustment to assets and liabilities in future periods.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all disclosures for significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions, that are required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively. While the application of critical accounting estimates is subject to material estimation uncertainties, management’s ongoing revisions of critical accounting estimates and underlying assumptions have not revealed any material impact in any of the periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Other than as set out below, there have been no other changes to the application of significant accounting judgements, or estimation uncertainties regarding accounting estimates compared to December 31, 2021.

Valuation of Embedded Derivatives

The foreign currency conversion option, embedded in the convertible notes, is accounted for separately as a derivative liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or other observable inputs, and accordingly, derivative liabilities are measured by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Subjective judgements and assumptions, which are subject to estimation uncertainties, need to be exercised in determining the appropriate unobservable input to the valuation model (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). This input includes volatility of the Company’s share price for a historic period, reflecting the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of a period similar to the expected lifetime of the option.

Changes in assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of derivative liabilities.

The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is all denominated in U.S. Dollars. At September 30, 2022, the portfolio had a weighted average duration of 5.2 and 14.4 months for current and non-current positions, respectively, and 5.7 months for the entire portfolio.

All marketable securities have investment grade ratings and accordingly, the risk from probability of default is low. The risk of expected credit loss over marketable securities has been considered, including the hypothetical impact arising from the probability of default which is considered in conjunction with the expected loss given default from securities with similar credit ratings and attributes. This assessment did not reveal a material expected credit loss and accordingly, no provision for expected credit loss has been recognized.

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2022, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $575.0 million of fixed rate 2.25% convertible notes. The net proceeds from the offering of the convertible notes were $557.9 million (€503.3 million), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions, and offering expenses. The convertible notes rank equally in right of payment with all future senior unsecured indebtedness. Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the convertible notes will mature on April 1, 2028.

The convertible notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2022. At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, noteholders may convert their convertible notes at their option into the Company’s ordinary shares represented by ADSs, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional ADS, at the then-applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is 6.0118 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, which represents an initial conversion price of $166.34 per ADS. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.

The convertible notes will be optionally redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after April 7, 2025, but only if the last reported sale price per ADS exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related optional redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice.

On September 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the convertible notes was €434.4 million, and the fair value was approximately €411.2 million. Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, or other observable input, and accordingly the fair value was estimated by using an estimated market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy).

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative liabilities relate to the foreign currency conversion option embedded in the convertible notes.

Fair value cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets or other observable inputs, and accordingly, derivative liabilities are measured by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). Fair value of the option is calculated, applying the following assumptions: (1) conversion price; (2) the Company’s share price; (3) maturity of the option; (4) a risk-free interest rate equaling the effective interest rate on a U.S. government bond with the same lifetime as the maturity of the option; (5) no payment of dividends; and (6) an expected volatility using the Company’s share price (49% as of September 30, 2022).

Sensitivity Analysis

Derivative liabilities were recognized in March 2022, at the initial fair value of €142.5 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a remeasurement loss and gain, respectively of €30.7 million and €9.7 million.

On September 30, 2022, all other inputs and assumptions held constant, a 10% increase in volatility, will increase the fair value of derivative liabilities by approximately €15.5 million and indicates a decrease in profit or loss and equity before tax. Similarly, a 10% decrease in volatility indicates the opposite impact.

Similarly, on September 30, 2022, all other inputs and assumptions held constant, a 10% increase in the share price, will increase the fair value of derivative liabilities by approximately €23.9 million and indicates a decrease in profit or loss and equity before tax. Similarly, a 10% decrease in the share price indicates the opposite impact.

Maturity analysis (on an undiscounted basis) for non-derivative financial liabilities recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position at September 30, 2022, is specified below.
