The increase in inventory amounts written down for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to higher write-downs to inventory reserves related to Auryxia drug substance that will not be forward processed into drug product. In addition, there were $0 million, $8.7 million, and $11.4 million in related step-up charges during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

If future sales of Auryxia are lower than expected, the Company may be required to write-down the value of such inventories. Inventory write-downs and losses on purchase commitments are recorded as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
