Collaboration and License Agreements | 4. Collaboration and OtherAgreements Janssen Biotech, Inc. In December 2014, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) for the development and commercialization of MGD011(also known as JNJ-64052781), a product candidate that incorporates the Company's proprietary Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART ® Under the collaboration and license agreement, the Company granted an exclusive license to Janssen to develop and commercialize MGD011. Following the Company's submission of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application, Janssen became fully responsible for the developme nt and commercialization The Company evaluated the collaboration and license agreement with Janssen and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company's substantive performance obligations under the collaboration and license agreement include the delivery of an exclusive license and research and development services during the pre-clinical research period (through the filing of the IND for MGD011). The Company evaluated the collaboration and The Company evaluated the stock purchase agreement and the collaboration and license agreement as one arrangement and determined that the stock purchase price of $39.00 per share exceeded the fair value of the common stock by $12.3 million. This excess was recognized in the same manner as the upfront payment. Of the total arrangement consideration of $125.0 million, the Company allocated $62.7 million to equity (representing the fair value of common stock purchased), $62.3 million to the license and pre-clinical research and development activities, and a de minimis amount to the ongoing research and development activities. The Company submitted the IND and therefore met its performance obligation during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In July 2015, Janssen dosed the first patient in an open-label Phase 1 study of MGD011 which triggered a $10.0 million milestone to the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized revenues of approximately $10.0 million and $72.3 million, respectively, under the agreement. Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited In May 2014, the Company entered into a license and option agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda) for the development and commercialization of MGD010, a product candidate that incorporates the Company's proprietary DART technology to simultaneously engage CD32B and CD79B, which are two B-cell surface proteins. MGD010 is being developed for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Upon execution of the agreement, Takeda made a non-refundable payment of $15.0 million to the Company. Takeda has an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 following the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. The Company will lead all product development activities until that time. If Takeda exercises its option, it will assume responsibility for future development and pay the Company a license fee of $15.0 million. Assuming successful development and commercialization of MGD010, the Company is eligible to receive up to $93.0 million in clinical and regulatory milestone payments and $375.5 million in sales milestone payments. If commercialized, the Company would receive double-digit royalties on any global net sales and has the option to co-promote MGD010 with Takeda in the United States. Finally, the Company may elect to fund a portion of Phase 3 clinical development in exchange for a North American profit share. The Company evaluated the license and option agreement with Takeda and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company's substantive performance obligations under the license and option agreement include exclusivity, research and development services through the Phase 1a study and delivery of a future license for an initial research compound. The Company concluded that the MGD010 option is substantive and that the license fee payable upon exercise of the option is not a deliverable at the inception of the arrangement as there is considerable uncertainty that the option would be exercised. The Company has determined that each potential future development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. The Company determined that these performance obligations represent a single unit of accounting, because the exclusivity clause does not have stand-alone value to Takeda without the Company's technical expertise and development through the pre-defined Phase 1a study. After identifying the deliverables included within the arrangement, the Company determined its best estimate of selling price. The Company allocated $10.0 million to the exclusivity clause to its technology and the research and development services and $5.0 million to the exclusive license for the initial research compound. The Company's determination of best estimate of selling price for the research and development services relied upon other similar transactions. The Company relied upon the income approach (e.g., future cash flows) to determine the value of the license of the to-be-delivered compound along with other similar license transactions with differing indications but similar stage of development. The portion of the up-front fee allocated to the MGD010 option is being recognized over an initial 24-month period, which represents the expected period of development through the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. The portion of the up-front fee allocated to the license for the initial research compound was deferred until the research collaboration and license option agreement was executed and the license delivered. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $1.3 million during each of the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 under the MGD010 agreement. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $6.8 million and $1.7 million under the MGD010 agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, including a $3.0 m $3.3 was current. At December 31, 2014, $7.1 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $5.0 million of which was current and $2.1 mill In September 2014, the Company and Takeda executed a research collaboration and license option agreement, which formalized the license for the initial research compound contemplated in the May 2014 arrangement. Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda may identify up to three additional compounds, which will be subject to separate research and development plans. The Company determined that it could recognize the entire license fee as (1) the executed contract constituted persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) the delivery of the license occurred and the Company had no current or future performance obligations, (3) the total consideration for the license was fixed and known at the time of its execution and there were not any extended payment terms or rights of return, and (4) the cash was received. The Company is also entitled to receive reimbursement for research and development services provided to Takeda with respect to the initial research compound under a separate research plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in revenue related to the reimbursement of these research and development services. Les Laboratoires Servier In November 2011, the Company entered into a right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Servier (collectively, Servier) for the development and commercialization of enoblituzumab (MGA271) in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a non-refundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. The Company is eligible to receive up to $30.0 million in license fees, $47.0 million in clinical milestone payments, $140.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $208.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises the option, obtains regulatory approval for and successfully commercializes enoblituzumab. The Company concluded that the license fees are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. In the event Servier exercises its option to continue development of enoblituzumab, Servier must pay a license fee. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company from low double digit to mid-teen royalties on product sales in its territories. The Company evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that the option is substantive and that the license fee for this option is not a deliverable at the inception of the arrangement as there is considerable uncertainty that the option would be exercised and the additional fee to be paid upon exercise of the option represents its estimated selling price (i.e., no substantial discount was given). The Company's substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that these performance obligations represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company's technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial upfront payment was deferred and was being recognized ratably over the initial 27-month period, which represented the expected period of development and the Company's participation on the research and development committee. During 2014, the Company determined that the development period will last longer than originally estimated, and prospectively adjusted its period of recognition of the upfront payment to a 42-month period. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized revenue of $14,000 and $0.2 million, respectively, under this agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized revenue of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, under this agreement. A In September 2012, the Company entered into a second right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Servier and granted it options to obtain three separate exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize DART-based molecules, consisting of those designated by the Company as MGD006 (also known as S80880) and MGD007, as well as a third DART molecule, in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a non-refundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. In addition, the Company will be eligible to receive up to $65.0 million in license fees, $98.0 million in clinical milestone payments, including $5.0 million upon IND acceptance for each of MGD006, MGD007 and a third DART molecule, $300.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $630.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises all of the options and successfully develops, obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product under each license. In addition to these milestones, the Company and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company low double digit to mid-teen royalties on net product sales in its territories. The Company evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that each option is substantive and that the license fees for each option are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement and were not issued with a substantial discount. The Company's substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the pre-clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company's technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial upfront license payment was deferred and initially recognized ratably over a 29-month period, which represented the expected development period. During 2014, the Company and Servier further refined the research plan related to the three DART molecules and as such, the development period was extended. Based on this revised development period, the Company prospectively adjusted its period of recognition of the upfront payment to a 75-month period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Servier exercised its exclusive option to develop and commercialize MGD006. As a result of the exercise, the Company received a $15.0 million payment from Servier for its license to develop and commercialize MGD006 in its territories. Upon exercise of the option, the Company evaluated its performance obligations with respect to the license for MGD006. The Company's substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusive license to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company's technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the $15.0 million license fee was deferred and is being recognized ratably over a period of 82 months, which represents the expected development period for MGD006. In accordance with the agreement, the Company and Servier will share costs incurred to develop MGD006. Reimbursement of research and development expenses received in connection with this collaborative cost-sharing agreement is recorded as a reduction to research and development expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million as an offset to research and development costs under this collaboration arrangement. No such offset to research and development costs was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015, nor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized revenue of $0.8 million and $5.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, under this agreement. The Company recognized revenue of $2.6 million and $15.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, under this agreement. Revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014 includes $5.0 million from Servier upon the achievement of a clinical milestone related to the IND application for MGD007 clearing the 30-day review period by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $10.0 million in milestone payments related to the IND applications for MGD006 and MGD007 clearing their respective 30-day review periods by the FDA. No milestones were recognized under this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, $15.2 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $3.3 million of which was current and $11.9 million of which was non-current. At December 31, 2014, $17.7 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $3.3 million of which was current and $14.4 million of which was non-current. Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH In October 2010, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (Boehringer) to discover, develop and commercialize up to ten DART molecules which span multiple therapeutic areas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted Boehringer an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license under its intellectual property to research, develop, and market DARTs generated under the agreement throughout the world. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. The Company subsequently received three annual maintenance payments. These maintenance payments are being recognized over the estimated period of development. The Company has the potential to earn milestone payments of approximately $41.0 million related to pre-clinical and clinical development, $89.0 million related to regulatory milestones and $83.0 million related to sales milestones for each of the DART programs under this agreement in the case of full commercial success of multiple DART products. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Boehringer also provides funding for the Company's internal and external research costs and is required to pay the Company mid-single digit royalties on product sales. The Company determined that the deliverables under the Boehringer agreement include the license, the research and development services to be performed by the Company, and the co-promotion/manufacturing services. The Company concluded that the co-promotional activities were optional and were subject to further negotiation upon reaching regulatory approval. As such, the co-promotional period is not included in the expected obligation period to perform services. The Company concluded that the undelivered element of research and development services had fair value. The Company concluded that the license does not have value on a standalone basis (e.g., absent the provision of the research and development services) and therefore does not represent a separate unit of accounting. The Company concluded that because the drug candidate has not yet been developed, the license is of no value to Boehringer without the ensuing research and development activities using the DART technology, which is proprietary to the Company. Likewise, Boehringer could not sell the license to another party (without the Company agreeing to provide the research and development activities for the other party). Therefore, the upfront license fee and research and development services were treated as a combined unit of accounting and recognized over the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services through October 2015, which represents the estimated period of development. The Company and Boehringer have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties' activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. However, had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement as the period of participation in this committee matched the obligation period for the research and development services. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $1.8 million and $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $7.0 million and $11.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2015, $0.3 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was current. At December 31, 2014, $5.8 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was current. Green Cross Corporation In June 2010, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Green Cross Corp. (Green Cross) for the development of the Company's anti-HER2 antibody, margetuximab. This arrangement grants Green Cross an exclusive license to conduct specified Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials and commercialize margetuximab in South Korea. In March 2014, the Company and Green Cross entered into an amendment to the original agreement, causing the terms of the original agreement to be materially modified. Upon execution of the amendment, the Company became eligible to receive reimbursement for costs incurred for Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials up to $5.5 million as well as clinical development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.5 million. The Company determined that each potential clinical development and commercial milestone is substantive. The Company is also entitled to receive royalties on net sales of margetuximab in South Korea. The Company and Green Cross have formed a joint steering committee to coordinate and oversee activities on which the companies collaborate under the agreement. The Company evaluated the collaboration agreement with Green Cross and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables or performance obligations. As a result of the material modification to the arrangement in March 2014, the Company reassessed the entire arrangement in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements (Revenue Recognition) The initial $1.0 million upfront payment received by the Company upon execution of the original agreement is non-refundable; as such, there is no right of return for the license. Therefore, the upfront license fee and participation on the joint steering committee were treated as a combined unit of accounting and will be recognized over the term of the agreement through June 2020. Further, due to the fact the research and development services are not deemed to have stand-alone value, revenue for those services will be recognized over the entire term of the agreement (through June 2020). As a result of reassessing the arrangement in accordance with ASC 605-25, the Company was required to record an adjustment on the date of the material modification to reflect the revenue that would have resulted had the entity applied the requirements of ASC 605-25 from the inception of the agreement. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $1.3 million of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million under this agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $0.4 million and $1.6 million under this agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was $0.9 million and $0.5 million in unbilled receivables under this agreement, which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. NIAID Contract The Company entered into a contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), effective as of September 15, 2015, to perform product development and to advance up to two DART molecules, including MGD014. Under this contract, the Company will develop these product candidates for Phase 1/2 clinical trials as therapeutic agents, in combination with latency reversing treatments, to deplete cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This contract includes a base period of $7.5 million to support development of MGD014 through IND application submission with the FDA, as well as up to $17.0 million in additional development funding via NIAID options. Should NIAID fully exercise such options, the Company could receive total payments of up to $24.5 million. The total potential period of performance under the award is from September 15, 2015 through September 14, 2022. The Company recognized no revenue under this contract during the period ended September 30, 2015. The development of a DART molecule targeting HIV will be funded in part with Federal funds from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services under Contract No. HHSN272201500032C. The Company has evaluated this contract and determined that its filing is not required. |
