1. Nature of Business | |
Overview | |
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is an entrepreneurial pharmaceutical company focused on creating medicines that make a difference for patients, building value to earn the continued support of its fellow shareholders, and empowering its team to passionately pursue excellence. The Company’s core strategy is to establish a leading gastrointestinal (“GI”) therapeutics company, leveraging its development and commercial capabilities in addressing GI disorders as well as its pharmacologic expertise in guanylate cyclase (“GC”) pathways. | |
The Company’s lead product, linaclotide, is being marketed in the United States (“U.S.”) under the trademarked name of LINZESS®. In August 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved LINZESS as a once-daily treatment for adult men and women suffering from irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (“IBS-C”) or chronic idiopathic constipation (“CIC”). LINZESS is the first and, to date, only FDA-approved guanylate cyclase type-C (“GC-C”) agonist. The Company and Forest Laboratories, Inc. (“Forest”) began commercializing LINZESS in the U.S. in December 2012. On July 1, 2014, Actavis plc (together with Forest, “Actavis”) completed its acquisition of Forest. The collaboration between the companies for the development and commercialization of linaclotide in North America remains in effect. | |
In November 2012, the European Commission granted marketing authorization to linaclotide (CONSTELLA®) for the symptomatic treatment of moderate to severe IBS-C in adults. CONSTELLA is the first and only drug approved in the European Union (“E.U.”) for IBS-C. The Company’s European partner, Almirall, S.A. (“Almirall”), has exclusive marketing rights for CONSTELLA in Europe (including the Commonwealth of Independent States and Turkey). Currently, CONSTELLA is commercially available in certain European countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. In May 2014, Almirall suspended commercialization of CONSTELLA in Germany following an inability to reach agreement with the German National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds on a reimbursement price that reflects the innovation and value of CONSTELLA. Almirall is assessing all possibilities to facilitate continued access to CONSTELLA for appropriate patients in Germany. | |
In December 2013 and February 2014, linaclotide was approved in Canada and Mexico, respectively, as a treatment for adult women and men suffering from IBS-C or CIC. Actavis has exclusive rights to commercialize linaclotide in Canada as CONSTELLA and, through a sublicense from Actavis, Almirall has exclusive rights to commercialize linaclotide in Mexico as LINZESS. In May 2014, Actavis began commercializing CONSTELLA in Canada and in June 2014, Almirall began commercializing LINZESS in Mexico. | |
Astellas Pharma Inc. (“Astellas”), the Company’s partner in Japan, is developing linaclotide for the treatment of patients with IBS-C in its territory. In October 2014, Astellas initiated a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial of linaclotide in adult patients with IBS-C. | |
In October 2012, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”) to co-develop and co-commercialize linaclotide in China, Hong Kong and Macau, with AstraZeneca having primary responsibility for the local operational execution. In the third quarter of 2013 the Company and AstraZeneca initiated a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial of linaclotide in adult patients with IBS-C. | |
The Company continues to assess alternatives to bring linaclotide to IBS-C and CIC sufferers in the parts of the world outside of its partnered territories. | |
The Company and Actavis are also exploring development opportunities to enhance the clinical profile of LINZESS by seeking to expand its utility in its indicated populations, as well as studying linaclotide in additional indications and populations and in new formulations to assess its potential to treat various GI conditions. In November 2014, as part of this strategy the Company and Actavis initiated a Phase III clinical trial in the U.S. evaluating a 72 mcg dose of linaclotide in adult patients with CIC to provide a broader range of treatment options to physicians and adult CIC patients. In addition to linaclotide-based opportunities, the Company is advancing multiple GI development programs as well as further leveraging its GC expertise to advance a second GC program targeting soluble guanylate cyclase (“sGC”), a validated mechanism with the potential for broad therapeutic utility and multiple opportunities for product development. The Company is exploring sGC for utility in cardiovascular disease and other indications. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2014. | |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2014, results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other subsequent interim period. | |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals Securities Corporation and Ironwood Pharmaceuticals GmbH. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, available-for-sale securities, inventory valuation and related reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, balance sheet classification of notes payable, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development expense, contingencies and share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company transitioned from a “simplified method” to the use of its historical data when estimating the expected term of stock option grants for purposes of determining stock-based compensation expense. This change did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company’s significant accounting policies are otherwise as described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not determined yet the potential effects of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
For a discussion of additional recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that had a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. | |

3. Collaboration and License Agreements | ||||||||||||||
Actavis plc (formerly Forest Laboratories, Inc.) | ||||||||||||||
In September 2007, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Forest to develop and commercialize linaclotide for the treatment of IBS-C, CIC and other GI conditions in North America. On July 1, 2014, Actavis completed its acquisition of Forest. The collaboration between the companies for the development and commercialization of linaclotide in North America remains in effect. Under the terms of this collaboration agreement, the Company shares equally with Actavis all development costs as well as future net profits or losses from the development and sale of linaclotide in the U.S. The Company receives royalties in the mid-teens percent based on net sales in Canada and Mexico. Actavis is solely responsible for the further development, regulatory approval and commercialization of linaclotide in those countries and funding any costs. In September 2012, Actavis sublicensed its commercialization rights in Mexico to Almirall. Actavis made non-refundable, up-front payments totaling $70.0 million to the Company in order to obtain rights to linaclotide in North America. Because the license to jointly develop and commercialize linaclotide did not have a standalone value without research and development activities provided by the Company, the Company recorded the up-front license fee as collaborative arrangements revenue on a straight-line basis through September 30, 2012, the period over which linaclotide was jointly developed under the collaboration. The collaboration agreement also includes contingent milestone payments, as well as a contingent equity investment, based on the achievement of specific development and commercial milestones. At September 30, 2014, $205.0 million in license fees and development milestone payments had been received by the Company, as well as a $25.0 million equity investment in the Company’s capital stock. The Company can also achieve up to $100.0 million in a sales-related milestone if certain conditions are met. | ||||||||||||||
The collaboration agreement included a contingent equity investment, in the form of a forward purchase contract, which required Actavis to purchase shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock upon achievement of a specific development milestone. At the inception of the arrangement, the Company valued the contingent equity investment and recorded an approximately $9.0 million asset and incremental deferred revenue. The $9.0 million of incremental deferred revenue was recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of the Company’s continuing involvement through September 30, 2012. In July 2009, the Company achieved the development milestone triggering the equity investment and reclassified the forward purchase contract as a reduction to convertible preferred stock. On September 1, 2009, the Company issued 2,083,333 shares of convertible preferred stock to Actavis (Note 11). | ||||||||||||||
The Company achieved all six development milestones under this agreement. In September 2008 and July 2009, the Company achieved development milestones which triggered $10.0 million and $20.0 million milestone payments, respectively. These development milestones were recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue through September 2012. In October 2011, the Company achieved two development milestones upon the FDA’s acceptance of the linaclotide New Drug Applications (“NDA”) for both IBS-C and CIC in adults and received milestone payments totaling $20.0 million from Actavis. In August 2012, the Company achieved two additional development milestones upon the FDA’s approval of the linaclotide NDAs for both IBS-C and CIC in adults and received milestone payments totaling $85.0 million from Actavis in September 2012, accordingly. In accordance with ASU 2010-17, these four development milestones were recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue in their entirety upon achievement. The remaining milestone payment that could be received from Actavis upon the achievement of sales targets will be recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue as earned. | ||||||||||||||
As a result of the research and development cost-sharing provisions of the collaboration, the Company offset approximately $1.2 million and approximately $3.3 million against research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and recognized approximately $0.6 million and approximately $3.6 million in incremental research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, to reflect its obligation under the collaboration to bear half of the development costs incurred by both parties. | ||||||||||||||
The Company receives 50% of the net profits and bears 50% of the net losses from the commercial sale of LINZESS in the U.S., provided, however, that if either party provides fewer calls on physicians in a particular year than it is contractually required to provide, such party’s share of the net profits will be adjusted as stipulated by the collaboration agreement. Net profits or net losses consist of net sales to third-party customers and sublicense income in the U.S. less cost of goods sold as well as selling, general and administrative expenses. Net sales are calculated and recorded by Actavis and may include gross sales net of discounts, rebates, allowances, sales taxes, freight and insurance charges, and other applicable deductions. The Company records its share of the net profits or net losses from the sale of LINZESS on a net basis and presents the settlement payments to and from Actavis as collaboration expense or collaborative arrangements revenue, as applicable. The Company and Actavis began commercializing LINZESS in the U.S. in December 2012. | ||||||||||||||
The following table presents the amounts recorded by the Company for commercial efforts related to LINZESS in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||

In May 2014, Actavis began commercializing CONSTELLA in Canada and in June 2014, Almirall began commercializing LINZESS in Mexico. The Company records royalties on sales of CONSTELLA in Canada and LINZESS in Mexico one quarter in arrears as it does not have access to the royalty reports from its partners or the ability to estimate the royalty revenue in the period earned. The Company recognized an insignificant amount of royalty revenues in Canada and Mexico during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
Almirall, S.A. | ||||||||||||||
In April 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with Almirall to develop and commercialize linaclotide in Europe (including the Commonwealth of Independent States and Turkey) for the treatment of IBS-C, CIC and other GI conditions. Under the terms of the license agreement, Almirall is responsible for the expenses associated with the development and commercialization of linaclotide in the European territory and the Company is required to participate on a joint development committee over linaclotide’s development period and a joint commercialization committee while the product is being commercialized. | ||||||||||||||
In May 2009, the Company received an approximately $38.0 million payment from Almirall representing a $40.0 million non-refundable up-front payment net of foreign withholding taxes. The Company elected to record the non-refundable up-front payment net of taxes withheld. The Company recognized the up-front license fee as collaborative arrangements revenue on a straight-line basis through September 30, 2012, the period over which linaclotide was developed under the license agreement. | ||||||||||||||
The license agreement also included a $15.0 million contingent equity investment, in the form of a forward purchase contract, which required Almirall to purchase shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock upon achievement of a specific development milestone. At the inception of the arrangement, the Company valued the contingent equity investment and recorded an approximately $6.0 million asset and incremental deferred revenue. The $6.0 million of incremental deferred revenue was recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue through September 2012. In November 2009, the Company achieved the development milestone triggering the equity investment and reclassified the forward purchase contract as a reduction to convertible preferred stock. On November 13, 2009, the Company received $15.0 million from Almirall for the purchase of 681,819 shares of convertible preferred stock (Note 11). | ||||||||||||||
The original license agreement also included contingent milestone payments that could total up to $40.0 million upon achievement of specific development and commercial launch milestones. In November 2010, the Company achieved a development milestone, which resulted in an approximately $19.0 million payment, representing a $20.0 million milestone, net of foreign withholding taxes. This development milestone was recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue through September 2012. Commercial milestone payments under the original license agreement consisted of $4.0 million due upon the first commercial launch in each of the five major E.U. countries set forth in the agreement. | ||||||||||||||
In June 2013 and February 2014, the Company and Almirall amended the original license agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendments, (i) the commercial launch milestones were reduced to $17.0 million; (ii) new sales-based milestone payments were added to the agreement; and (iii) the escalating royalties based on sales of linaclotide were modified such that they begin in the low-twenties percent and escalate to the mid-forties percent through April 2017, and thereafter begin in the mid-twenties percent and escalate to the mid-forties percent at lower sales thresholds. In each case, these royalty payments are reduced by the transfer price paid for the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) included in the product actually sold in the Almirall territory and other contractual deductions. The Company concluded that the amendments were a material modification under Accounting Standard Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU No. 2009-13”), but the modification did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The commercial launch and sales-based milestones are recognized as revenue as earned. The Company records royalties on sales of CONSTELLA one quarter in arrears as it does not have access to the royalty reports from Almirall or the ability to estimate the royalty revenue in the period earned. | ||||||||||||||
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company achieved two milestones under the amended Almirall license agreement, which resulted in payments of approximately $1.9 million from Almirall to the Company related to the commercial launches in two of the five major E.U. countries, the United Kingdom and Germany. The approximately $1.9 million payment represented the two $1.0 million milestones, net of foreign tax withholdings. During the first and second quarters of 2014, the Company achieved two milestones under the amended Almirall license agreement triggering payments of approximately $1.0 million each related to the commercial launches in two additional major E.U. countries, Italy and Spain. Each approximately $1.0 million payment represents the $1.0 million milestone, net of foreign tax withholdings. | ||||||||||||||
The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and approximately $7.5 million in total collaborative arrangements revenue from the Almirall license agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, including approximately $0.2 million in royalty revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014, and approximately $5.1 million from the sale of API to Almirall, approximately $1.9 million in commercial launch milestones, and approximately $0.5 million in royalty revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized approximately $3.0 million and approximately $13.0 million in total collaborative arrangements revenue from the Almirall license agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, including approximately $3.0 million and approximately $11.0 million from the sale of API to Almirall, respectively, less than $0.1 million in each period in royalty revenue and approximately $1.9 million in commercial launch milestones during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Astellas Pharma Inc. | ||||||||||||||
In November 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with Astellas to develop and commercialize linaclotide for the treatment of IBS-C, CIC and other GI conditions in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. As a result of an amendment executed in March 2013, the Company regained rights to linaclotide in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia. The Company concluded that the amendment was not a material modification of the license agreement. Astellas continues to be responsible for all activities relating to development, regulatory approval and commercialization in Japan as well as funding any costs and the Company is required to participate on a joint development committee over linaclotide’s development period. | ||||||||||||||
In 2009, Astellas paid the Company a non-refundable, up-front licensing fee of $30.0 million, which is being recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue on a straight-line basis over the Company’s estimate of the period over which linaclotide will be developed under the license agreement. In March 2013, the Company revised its estimate of the development period from 115 months to 85 months based on the Company’s assessment of regulatory approval timelines for Japan. This resulted in the recognition of an additional approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.5 million of revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
The agreement also includes additional development milestone payments that could total up to $45.0 million. These milestone payments, none of which the Company considers substantive, consist of $15.0 million upon enrollment of the first study subject in a Phase III study for linaclotide in Japan, $15.0 million upon filing of the Japanese equivalent of an NDA with the relevant regulatory authority in Japan, and $15.0 million upon approval of such equivalent by the relevant regulatory authority. In addition, the Company will receive royalties which escalate based on sales volume, beginning in the low-twenties percent, less the transfer price paid for the API included in the product actually sold and other contractual deductions. | ||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2014, approximately $12.7 million of the up-front license fee remains deferred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized approximately $1.3 million and approximately $4.5 million, respectively, in collaborative arrangements revenue from the Astellas license agreement, including less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from the sale of API to Astellas. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized approximately $1.7 million and approximately $4.0 million, respectively, in collaborative arrangements revenue from the Astellas license agreement, including approximately $0.4 million and approximately $0.6 million, respectively, from the sale of API to Astellas. | ||||||||||||||
AstraZeneca AB | ||||||||||||||
In October 2012, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca (the “AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement”) to co-develop and co-commercialize linaclotide in China, Hong Kong and Macau (the “License Territory”). The collaboration provides AstraZeneca with an exclusive nontransferable license to exploit the underlying technology in the License Territory. The parties share responsibility for continued development and commercialization of linaclotide under a joint development plan and a joint commercialization plan, respectively, with AstraZeneca having primary responsibility for the local operational execution. | ||||||||||||||
The parties agreed to an Initial Development Plan (“IDP”) which includes the planned development of linaclotide in China, including the lead responsibility for each activity and the related internal and external costs. The IDP indicates that AstraZeneca is responsible for a multinational Phase III clinical trial (the “Phase III Trial”), the Company is responsible for nonclinical development and supplying clinical trial material and both parties are responsible for the regulatory submission process. The IDP indicates that the party specifically designated as being responsible for a particular development activity under the IDP shall implement and conduct such activities. The activities are governed by a Joint Development Committee (“JDC”), with equal representation from each party. The JDC is responsible for approving, by unanimous consent, the joint development plan and development budget, as well as approving protocols for clinical studies, reviewing and commenting on regulatory submissions, and providing an exchange of data and information. | ||||||||||||||
The AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement will continue until there is no longer a development plan or commercialization plan in place, however, it can be terminated by AstraZeneca at any time upon 180 days’ prior written notice. Under certain circumstances, either party may terminate the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement in the event of bankruptcy or an uncured material breach of the other party. Upon certain change in control scenarios of AstraZeneca, the Company may elect to terminate the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement and may re-acquire its product rights in a lump sum payment equal to the fair market value of such product rights. | ||||||||||||||
In connection with the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement, the Company and AstraZeneca also executed a co-promotion agreement (the “Co-Promotion Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company utilized its existing sales force to co-promote NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium), one of AstraZeneca’s products, in the U.S. The Co-Promotion Agreement expired in May 2014. | ||||||||||||||
There are no refund provisions in the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement and the Co-Promotion Agreement (together, the “AstraZeneca Agreements”). | ||||||||||||||
Under the terms of the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement, the Company received a $25.0 million non-refundable upfront payment upon execution. The Company is also eligible for $125.0 million in additional commercial milestone payments contingent on the achievement of certain sales targets. The parties will also share in the net profits and losses associated with the development and commercialization of linaclotide in the License Territory, with AstraZeneca receiving 55% of the net profits or incurring 55% of the net losses until a certain specified commercial milestone is achieved, at which time profits and losses will be shared equally thereafter. | ||||||||||||||
Activities under the AstraZeneca Agreements were evaluated in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-25, Revenue Recognition — Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”), to determine if they represented a multiple element revenue arrangement. The Company identified the following deliverables in the AstraZeneca Agreements: | ||||||||||||||
· | an exclusive license to develop and commercialize linaclotide in the License Territory (the “License Deliverable”), | |||||||||||||
· | research, development and regulatory services pursuant to the IDP, as modified from time to time (the “R&D Services”), | |||||||||||||
· | JDC services, | |||||||||||||
· | obligation to supply clinical trial material, and | |||||||||||||
· | co-promotion services for AstraZeneca’s product (the “Co-Promotion Deliverable”). | |||||||||||||
The License Deliverable is nontransferable and has certain sublicense restrictions. The Company determined that the License Deliverable had standalone value as a result of AstraZeneca’s internal product development and commercialization capabilities, which would enable it to use the License Deliverable for its intended purposes without the involvement of the Company. The remaining deliverables were deemed to have standalone value based on their nature and all deliverables met the criteria to be accounted for as separate units of accounting under ASC 605-25. Factors considered in this determination included, among other things, whether any other vendors sell the items separately and if the customer could use the delivered item for its intended purpose without the receipt of the remaining deliverables. | ||||||||||||||
The Company identified the supply of linaclotide drug product for commercial requirements and commercialization services as contingent deliverables because these services are contingent upon the receipt of regulatory approval to commercialize linaclotide in the License Territory, and there were no binding commitments or firm purchase orders pending for commercial supply. As these deliverables are contingent, and are not at an incremental discount, they are not evaluated as deliverables at the inception of the arrangement. These contingent deliverables will be evaluated and accounted for separately as each related contingency is resolved. As of September 30, 2014, no contingent deliverables were provided by the Company under the AstraZeneca Agreements. | ||||||||||||||
In August 2014, the Company and AstraZeneca, through the JDC, modified the IDP and development budget to include approximately $14.0 million in additional activities over the remaining development period, to be shared by the Company and AstraZeneca under the terms of the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement. These additional activities serve to support the continued development of linaclotide in the Licensed Territory, including the Phase III Trial. Pursuant to the terms of the modified IDP and development budget, certain of the Company’s deliverables were modified, specifically the R&D Services and the obligation to supply clinical trial material. The Company determined that the 2014 modification to the IDP and development budget was a material modification under ASU No. 2009-13 to the AstraZeneca Collaboration Arrangement. However, this modification did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as there was an insignificant amount of deferred revenue associated with the AstraZeneca Collaboration Agreement as of the date of the modification. In accordance with ASU No. 2009-13, the Company reallocated the arrangement consideration to all of the identified deliverables in the arrangement (both delivered and undelivered) based on the information available as of the date of the modification. | ||||||||||||||
The total amount of the non-contingent consideration allocable to the AstraZeneca Agreements of approximately $34.0 million (“Arrangement Consideration”) includes the $25.0 million non-refundable upfront payment and 55% of the costs for clinical trial material supply services and research, development and regulatory activities allocated to the Company in the IDP or as approved by the JDC in subsequent periods, or approximately $9.0 million. | ||||||||||||||
The Company allocated the Arrangement Consideration of approximately $34.0 million to the non-contingent deliverables based on management’s best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) of each deliverable using the relative selling price method as the Company did not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price for such deliverables. The Company estimated the BESP for the License Deliverable using a multi-period excess-earnings method under the income approach which utilized cash flow projections, the key assumptions of which included the following market conditions and entity-specific factors: (a) the specific rights provided under the license to develop and commercialize linaclotide; (b) the potential indications for linaclotide pursuant to the license; (c) the likelihood linaclotide will be developed for more than one indication; (d) the stage of development of linaclotide for IBS-C and CIC and the projected timeline for regulatory approval; (e) the development risk by indication; (f) the market size by indication; (g) the expected product life of linaclotide assuming commercialization; (h) the competitive environment, and (i) the estimated development and commercialization costs of linaclotide in the License Territory. The Company utilized a discount rate of 11.5% in its analysis, representing the weighted average cost of capital derived from returns on equity for comparable companies. The Company determined its BESP for the remaining deliverables based on the nature of the services to be performed and estimates of the associated effort and cost of the services adjusted for a reasonable profit margin such that they represented estimated market rates for similar services sold on a standalone basis. The Company concluded that a change in key assumptions used to determine BESP for each deliverable would not have a significant effect on the allocation of the Arrangement Consideration, as the estimated selling price of the License Deliverable significantly exceeds the other deliverables. | ||||||||||||||
Of the approximately $34.0 million of Arrangement Consideration, approximately $29.7 million was allocated to the License Deliverable, approximately $1.8 million to the R&D Services, approximately $0.1 million to the JDC services, approximately $0.3 million to the clinical trial material supply services, and approximately $2.1 million to the Co-Promotion Deliverable in the relative selling price model, at the time of the material modification. | ||||||||||||||
Because the Company shares development costs with AstraZeneca, payments from AstraZeneca with respect to both research and development and selling, general and administrative costs incurred by the Company prior to the commercialization of linaclotide in the License Territory are recorded as a reduction to expense, in accordance with the Company’s policy, which is consistent with the nature of the cost reimbursement. Development costs incurred by the Company that pertain to the joint development plan and subsequent amendments to the joint development plan, as approved by the JDC, are recorded as research and development expense as incurred. Payments to AstraZeneca are recorded as incremental research and development expense. | ||||||||||||||
The Company completed its obligations related to the License Deliverable upon execution of the AstraZeneca Agreements; however, the revenue recognized in the statement of operations was limited to the non-contingent portion of the License Deliverable consideration in accordance with ASC 605-25. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and in connection with the modification to the IDP and development budget in August 2014, the Company recognized $1.8 million as collaborative arrangements revenue related to this deliverable as this portion of the Arrangement Consideration was no longer contingent. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not recognize any amounts in collaborative arrangements revenue related to the License Deliverable. | ||||||||||||||
The Company also performs R&D Services and JDC services, and supplies clinical trial materials during the estimated development period. All Arrangement Consideration allocated to such services is being recognized as a reduction of research and development costs, using the proportional performance method, by which the amounts are recognized in proportion to the costs incurred. As a result of the cost-sharing arrangements under the collaboration, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.8 million in incremental research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million in incremental research and development costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
The amount allocated to the Co-Promotion Deliverable was recognized as collaborative arrangements revenue using the proportional performance method, which approximates recognition on a straight-line basis beginning on the date that the Company began to co-promote AstraZeneca’s product, through December 31, 2013 (the earliest cancellation date). As of December 31, 2013, the Company completed its obligation related to the Co-Promotion Deliverable; however, the revenue recognized in the statement of operations was limited to the non-contingent consideration in accordance with ASC 605-25. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized $0.1 million and approximately $0.8 million, respectively, as collaborative arrangements revenue related to this deliverable as this portion of the Arrangement Consideration was no longer contingent. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in collaborative arrangements revenue related to this deliverable. | ||||||||||||||
The Company reassesses the periods of performance for each deliverable at the end of each reporting period. | ||||||||||||||
Milestone payments received from AstraZeneca upon the achievement of sales targets will be recognized as earned. | ||||||||||||||
Other Collaboration and License Agreements | ||||||||||||||
The Company has other collaboration and license agreements that are not individually significant to its business. In connection with entering into these agreements, the Company made aggregate up-front payments of approximately $5.8 million, which were expensed as research and development expense. Pursuant to the terms of certain of those agreements, the Company may be required to pay $99.5 million for development milestones, of which $2.5 million had been paid, and $265.5 million for regulatory milestones, none of which had been paid, in each case as of September 30, 2014. In addition, pursuant to the terms of another agreement, the contingent milestones could total up to $114.5 million per product to one of the Company’s collaboration partners, including $21.5 million for development milestones, $58.0 million for regulatory milestones and $35.0 million for sales-based milestones. Further, under such agreements, the Company is also required to fund certain research activities and, if any product related to these collaborations is approved for marketing, to pay significant royalties on future sales. The Company did not incur any research and development expense associated with the Company’s other collaboration and license agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $1.0 million in research and development expense associated with the Company’s other collaboration and license agreements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred approximately $0.7 million and approximately $2.5 million, respectively, in research and development expense associated with the Company’s other collaboration and license agreements. | ||||||||||||||

The tables below present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions for the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s investment portfolio includes many fixed income securities that do not always trade on a daily basis. As a result, the pricing services used by the Company apply other available information as applicable through processes such as benchmark yields, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare valuations. In addition, model processes were used to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. These models take into consideration relevant credit information, perceived market movements, sector news and economic events. The inputs into these models may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other relevant data. | ||||||||||||||

The contractual maturities of all securities held at September 30, 2014 are one year or less. There were 14 and 12 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, none of which had been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. The aggregate fair value of these securities at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $42.4 million and approximately $38.7 million, respectively. The Company reviews its investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. The Company did not hold any securities with other-than-temporary impairment at September 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

The cost of securities sold or the amount reclassified out of the accumulated other comprehensive income into other income (expense) is based on the specific identification method for purposes of recording realized gains and losses. | ||||||||||||||

Beginning March 15, 2014, the Company began making quarterly payments on the notes equal to the greater of (i) 7.5% of net sales of LINZESS in the U.S. for the preceding quarter (the “Synthetic Royalty Amount”) and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the notes (the “Required Interest Amount”). Principal on the notes will be repaid in an amount equal to the Synthetic Royalty Amount minus the Required Interest Amount, when this is a positive number, until the principal has been paid in full. Given the principal payments on the notes are based on the Synthetic Royalty Amount, which will vary from quarter to quarter, the notes may be repaid prior to June 15, 2024, the final legal maturity date. The Company did not make any principal payments through September 30, 2014 and expects to pay approximately $9.3 million of the principal within twelve months following September 30, 2014. | ||||
The notes are secured solely by a security interest in a segregated bank account established to receive the required quarterly payments. Up to the amount of the required quarterly payments under the notes, Actavis will deposit its quarterly profit (loss) sharing payments due to the Company under the collaboration agreement, if any, into the segregated bank account. If the funds deposited by Actavis into the segregated bank account are insufficient to make a required payment of interest or principal on a particular Payment Date, the Company is obligated to deposit such shortfall out of the Company’s general funds into the segregated bank account. | ||||
The notes may be redeemed at any time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company. The Company will pay a redemption price equal to the percentage of outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed specified below for the period in which the redemption occurs (plus the accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the notes being redeemed): | ||||
Payment Dates | Redemption Percentage | |||
From and including January 1, 2014 to and including December 31, 2014 | 112.00 | % | ||
From and including January 1, 2015 to and including December 31, 2015 | 105.50 | % | ||
From and including January 1, 2016 to and including December 31, 2016 | 102.75 | % | ||
From and including January 1, 2017 and thereafter | 100.00 | % | ||
The notes contain certain covenants related to the Company’s obligations with respect to the commercialization of LINZESS and the related collaboration agreement with Actavis, as well as certain customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur certain liens, merge or consolidate or make dispositions of assets. The notes also specify a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable cure periods), including, among other things, covenant defaults, other non-payment defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, subject to cure periods in certain circumstances, all amounts outstanding may become immediately due and payable. | ||||
The upfront cash proceeds of $175.0 million, less a discount of approximately $0.4 million for payment of legal fees incurred on behalf of the noteholders, were recorded as notes payable at issuance. The Company also capitalized approximately $7.3 million of debt issuance costs, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs and discount are being amortized over the estimated term of the obligation using the effective interest method. The repayment provisions represent embedded derivatives that are clearly and closely related to the notes and as such do not require separate accounting treatment. | ||||
The accounting for the notes requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about the future net sales of LINZESS in the U.S. LINZESS has been marketed since December 2012 and the estimates of the magnitude and timing of LINZESS net sales are subject to significant variability due to the recent product launch and the extended time period associated with the financing transaction, and thus subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, these estimates and assumptions are likely to change as the Company gains additional experience marketing LINZESS, which may result in future adjustments to the portion of the debt that is classified as a current liability, the amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts as well as the accretion of the interest expense. Any such adjustments could be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. | ||||
The fair value of the notes was estimated to be approximately $183.8 million as of September 30, 2014, and was determined using Level 3 inputs, including a quoted rate. | ||||

Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2014. | |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2014, results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other subsequent interim period. | |

Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, available-for-sale securities, inventory valuation and related reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, balance sheet classification of notes payable, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development expense, contingencies and share-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
New Accounting Pronouncements | |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not determined yet the potential effects of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
For a discussion of additional recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | |
The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that had a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
