Out-licensing Agreements | 10. Genentech License Agreement On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Genentech License Agreement”) with Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (collectively, “Genentech”), pursuant to which the Company granted Genentech exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize vixarelimab and related antibodies (each, a “Genentech Licensed Product”). The Genentech License Agreement became effective on September 12, 2022 (the “Genentech Effective Date”) following termination of the statutory waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act. Under the Genentech License Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $80,000 for the license and is eligible to receive a near-term cash payment of $20,000 for delivery of certain materials to Genentech. In addition, the Company will be eligible to receive up to approximately $600,000 in contingent payments, including specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, before fulfilling the Company’s upstream financial obligations. The Company will also be eligible to receive tiered percentage royalties on a Genentech Licensed Product-by-Genentech Licensed Product basis ranging from low-double digits to mid-teens on annual net sales of each Genentech Licensed Product, subject to certain customary reductions, with an aggregate minimum floor, before fulfilling the Company’s upstream financial obligations. Royalties will be payable on a Genentech Licensed Product-by-Genentech Licensed Product and country-by-country basis until the latest to occur of the expiration of certain patents that cover a Genentech Licensed Product, the expiration of regulatory exclusivity for such Genentech Licensed Product, or the tenth anniversary of first commercial sale of such Genentech Licensed Product in such country. Pursuant and subject to the terms of the Genentech License Agreement, Genentech has the exclusive worldwide right to conduct development and commercialization activities for Genentech Licensed Products at its sole cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is responsible, at its sole cost, for continuing to conduct and finalize its Phase 2b clinical trial assessing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of vixarelimab in reducing pruritis in prurigo nodularis. Both the Company and Genentech participate in a joint transition committee, which coordinates and oversees the technology and inventory transition activities relating to the development of the Genentech Licensed Products and the Company’s conduct and finalization of its Phase 2b clinical trial. The Company will provide to Genentech an initial drug supply and a drug product resupply and Genentech will be obligated to pay $20,000 to the Company after delivery of the last of such supply; provided Agreement at cost plus a markup. Under the Genentech License Agreement, Genentech has the right to assume manufacturing responsibilities for Genentech Licensed Products. Absent early termination, the Genentech License Agreement will continue until there are no more royalty or other payment obligations owed to the Company. Genentech has the right to terminate the Genentech License Agreement at its discretion with prior written notice and either party may terminate the Genentech License Agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of the other party or in the case of insolvency of the other party. In addition, the Genentech License Agreement will terminate upon termination of the Biogen Agreement (as defined below). The Company concluded that Genentech is a customer in this license agreement, and as such, the Genentech License Agreement falls within the scope of the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. Accounting for Genentech License Agreement As of the Genentech Effective Date, the Company identified the following material promises in the Genentech License Agreement: (i) the delivery of the exclusive license for vixarelimab; (ii) an initial drug supply delivery; (iii) a drug product resupply delivery; and (iv) completion of the Phase 2b clinical trial for vixarelimab. The Company also evaluated whether certain options outlined within the Genentech License Agreement represented material rights that would give rise to a performance obligation, including the option to purchase additional drug substance, and concluded that none of the options convey a material right to Genentech and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations within the Genentech License Agreement. The Company assessed the above promises and determined that the exclusive license for vixarelimab is reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and therefore represents a performance obligation. The exclusive license for vixarelimab is considered functional intellectual property and distinct from other promises under the Genentech License Agreement as Genentech can benefit from the license on its own or together with other readily available resources and the license is separately identifiable from the other promises. The initial drug supply and drug product resupply are considered distinct from the exclusive license for vixarelimab as Genentech can benefit from such supply together with the license transferred by the Company at the inception of the Genentech License Agreement. The completion of the Phase 2b clinical trial is considered distinct from the exclusive license for vixarelimab as Genentech can benefit from the data generated by such trial together with such license. Therefore, each represents a separate performance obligation within a contract with a customer at contract inception. The Company determined the transaction price at the inception of the Genentech License Agreement which consists of the $80,000 upfront payment. The Company determined that any variable consideration, including the $20,000 related to the delivery of the initial drug supply and drug product resupply and future development and regulatory milestones, are deemed fully constrained and therefore excluded from the transaction price due to the high degree of uncertainty and risk associated with these potential payments, as the Company also determined that it could not assert that it was not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would occur. The Company also determined that royalties and sales milestones relate solely to the license of intellectual property. Revenue related to these royalties and sales milestones will only be recognized when the associated sales occur, and relevant thresholds are met, under the sales or usage-based royalty exception of Topic 606. As noted above, the Company identified four performance obligations in the Genentech License Agreement: (i) the delivery of the exclusive license for vixarelimab; (ii) an initial drug supply delivery; (iii) a drug product resupply delivery; and (iv) completion of the Phase 2b clinical trial for vixarelimab. The selling price of each performance obligation in the Genentech License Agreement was determined based on the Company’s standalone selling price (“SSP”) with the objective of determining the price at which it would sell such an item if it were to be sold regularly on a standalone basis. The Company allocated the transaction price to the exclusive license, initial drug supply delivery, drug product resupply delivery and completion of the Phase 2b clinical trial for vixarelimab. The Company recognizes revenue for the license performance obligations at a point in time, that is upon transfer of the license to Genentech. As control of the license was transferred on the Genentech Effective Date and Genentech could begin to use and benefit from the license, the Company recognized $65,711 of collaboration revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 under the Genentech License Agreement. The Company will recognize revenue for deliveries of certain drug supply to Genentech at a point in time upon delivery. The Company will recognize revenue for the completion of the Phase 2b clinical trial for vixarelimab over time using the cost-to-cost input method, which it believes best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Under the cost-to-cost input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to the total estimated costs expected upon satisfying the identified performance obligation. Under this method, revenue is recorded as a percentage of the allocated transaction price based on the progress of completion. The calculation of the total estimated costs to fulfill the performance obligation includes costs associated with employees, development, manufacturing, and out-of-pocket costs expected to be paid to third parties. Huadong Collaboration Agreements On February 21, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into two collaboration and license agreements (each, a “Collaboration Agreement” and together, the “Collaboration Agreements”) with Hangzhou Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Huadong”), pursuant to which the Company granted Huadong exclusive rights to develop and commercialize rilonacept and develop, manufacture and commercialize mavrilimumab (each, a “Licensed Product” and together, the “Licensed Products”) in the following countries: People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, Taiwan Region, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, The Philippines, Thailand, Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, India, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam (collectively, the “Territory”). Under the Collaboration Agreements, the Company received a total upfront cash payment of $22,000, which includes $12,000 for the Territory license of rilonacept and $10,000 for the Territory license of mavrilimumab. The Company will be eligible to receive up to approximately $70,000 in payments for rilonacept, and up to approximately $576,000 in payments for mavrilimumab, including specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones. Huadong will also be obligated to pay the Company tiered percentage royalties on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis ranging from the low-teens to low-twenties on annual net sales of each Licensed Product in the Territory, subject to certain reductions tied to rilonacept manufacturing costs and certain other customary reductions, with an aggregate minimum floor. Royalties will be payable on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country or region-by-region basis until the later of (i) 12 years after the first commercial sale of the applicable Licensed Product in such country or region in the Territory, (ii) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim of the Company’s patent rights or any joint collaboration patent rights that covers the applicable Licensed Product in such country or region in the Territory, and (iii) the expiration of the last regulatory exclusivity for the applicable Licensed Product in such country or region in the Territory. Pursuant and subject to the terms of the Collaboration Agreements, Huadong has the exclusive right to conduct Territory-specific development activities for the Licensed Products in the Territory, the first right to support global development of the Licensed Products by serving as the sponsor of the global clinical trials conducted in the Territory and the exclusive right to commercialize the Licensed Products in the Territory. Huadong will be responsible for all costs of development activities and commercialization in the Territory. Both the Company and Huadong participate in a Joint Steering Committee (“JSC”), which coordinates and oversees the exploitation of the Licensed Products in the Territory. The Company will supply certain materials to support development and commercialization activities for both mavrilimumab and rilonacept. Under the Collaboration Agreement for mavrilimumab, Huadong has the right to assume manufacturing responsibilities for materials in the Territory. Under the Collaboration Agreement for rilonacept, Huadong does not have rights to perform manufacturing activities in the Territory. Absent early termination, each Collaboration Agreement will continue on a country-by-country or region-by-region basis until there are no more royalty payments owed to the Company in such country or region for the applicable Licensed Product. Huadong has the right to terminate each Collaboration Agreement at its discretion upon 12 months’ notice and either party may terminate the applicable Collaboration Agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of the other party or in the case of insolvency of the other party. In addition, the Company may terminate the applicable Collaboration Agreement if Huadong or its affiliates or sublicensees challenges the scope, validity, or enforceability of the Company’s patent rights being licensed to Huadong. If Huadong and its affiliates do not conduct any material development or commercialization activities with respect to a Licensed Product in the People’s Republic of China for a continuous period of longer than six months, then, subject to certain exceptions, the Company may terminate the Collaboration Agreement applicable to such Licensed Product with 60 days’ prior written notice. In addition, Huadong’s rights under each Collaboration Agreement in certain regions within the Territory may be subject to termination upon failure by Huadong to perform certain clinical, development or commercialization activities, as applicable, with respect to the applicable Licensed Product in such regions. The Company concluded that Huadong is a customer in these Collaboration Agreements, and as such, each Collaboration Agreement falls within the scope of the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 606. The Company concluded that the Collaboration Agreements should not be combined and treated as a single arrangement for accounting purposes as the Collaboration Agreements were negotiated separately with separate and distinct commercial objectives, the amount of consideration in one Collaboration Agreement is not dependent on the price or performance of the other Collaboration Agreement, and the goods and services promised in the Collaboration Agreements are not a single performance obligation. Accounting for Mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement As of the Effective Date, the Company identified the following material promises in the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement: delivery of (i) exclusive license for mavrilimumab in the Territory and (ii) clinical manufacturing supply of certain materials for mavrilimumab products in the Territory. The Company also evaluated whether certain options outlined within the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement represented material rights that would give rise to a performance obligation and concluded that none of the options convey a material right to Huadong and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations within the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement. The Company assessed the above promises and determined that the exclusive license for mavrilimumab in the Territory is reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and therefore represents a performance obligation. The exclusive license for mavrilimumab in the Territory is considered functional intellectual property and distinct from other promises under the Collaboration Agreement as Huadong can benefit from the license on its own or together with other readily available resources and the license is separately identifiable from the other promises. The clinical manufacturing supply of certain materials for mavrilimumab products in the Territory is considered distinct from the exclusive license for mavrilimumab as Huadong can benefit from the manufacturing services together with the license transferred by the Company at the inception of the Collaboration Agreement. Therefore, each represents a separate performance obligation within a contract with a customer at contract inception. The Company determined the transaction price at the inception of the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement which includes $10,000, consisting of the upfront payment. The Company also includes an estimate of variable consideration associated with the clinical manufacturing supply of certain materials when those materials are shipped. The Company determined that any variable consideration related to development and regulatory milestones is deemed fully constrained and therefore excluded from the transaction price due to the high degree of uncertainty and risk associated with these potential payments, as the Company determined that it could not assert that it was probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company also determined that royalties and sales milestones relate solely to the licenses of intellectual property. Revenue related to these royalties and sales milestones will only be recognized when the associated sales occur, and relevant thresholds are met, under the sales or usage-based royalty exception of Topic 606. As noted above, the Company identified two performance obligations in the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement: (i) the delivery of the exclusive license for mavrilimumab in the Territory; and (ii) the clinical manufacturing supply of certain materials for mavrilimumab products in the Territory. The selling price of each performance obligation in the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement was determined based on the Company’s standalone selling price (“SSP”) with the objective of determining the price at which it would sell such an item if it were to be sold regularly on a standalone basis. The Company allocated the variable consideration related to the manufacturing obligations to the future clinical supply of mavrilimumab products in the Territory and the remaining fixed and variable consideration to the license obligation. The Company recognizes revenue for the license performance obligations at a point in time, that is upon transfer of the license to Huadong. As control of the license was transferred on the Effective Date and Huadong could begin to use and benefit from the license, the Company recognized $10,000 of collaboration revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 under the mavrilimumab Collaboration Agreement. The Company will recognize revenue for the clinical manufacturing supply obligations at a point in time, that is upon each delivery of the supply to Huadong. Accounting for Rilonacept Collaboration Agreement As of the Effective Date, the Company identified the following material promises in the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement that were evaluated: delivery of (i) exclusive license for rilonacept in the Territory; (ii) clinical manufacturing supply of certain materials for rilonacept products in the Territory; and (iii) commercial manufacturing supply of certain material for rilonacept products in the Territory. The Company also evaluated whether certain options outlined within the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement represented material rights that would give rise to a performance obligation and concluded that none of the options convey a material right to Huadong and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations within the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement. The Company assessed the above promises and determined that there is one combined performance obligation for the exclusive license for rilonacept and clinical and commercial manufacturing obligations for rilonacept products in the Territory. Huadong cannot exploit the value of the exclusive license for rilonacept products in the Territory without receipt of supply as the exclusive license for rilonacept products in the Territory does not convey to Huadong the right to manufacture and therefore the Company has combined the exclusive license for rilonacept products in the Territory and the manufacturing obligations into one performance obligation. The Company determined the transaction price at the inception of the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement which includes $12,000, consisting of the upfront payment. The Company also includes an estimate of variable consideration associated with the clinical manufacturing supply of certain materials when those materials are shipped. The Company determined that any variable consideration related to development and regulatory milestones, sales milestones and royalties are deemed fully constrained and therefore excluded from the transaction price due to the high degree of uncertainty and risk associated with these potential payments, as the Company determined that it could not assert that it was probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Royalties and sales milestones will be recognized as the Company delivers the commercial manufactured product to Huadong. Any changes in estimates may result in a cumulative catch-up based on the number of units of manufactured product delivered. As noted above, the Company identified a single combined performance obligation in the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement consisting of the exclusive license for rilonacept and clinical and commercial manufacturing obligations for rilonacept products in the Territory. The Company recognizes revenue for the combined performance obligation consisting of the exclusive license for rilonacept and clinical and commercial manufacturing obligations for rilonacept products in the Territory at a point in time, upon which control of materials are transferred to Huadong for each delivery of the associated materials. The Company currently expects to recognize the revenue over the life of the agreement. This estimate considers the timing of development and commercial activities under the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement and may be reduced or increased based on changes in the various activities. The Company has not recognized any revenue under the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as there has been no delivery of materials under the rilonacept Collaboration Agreement to date. The full transaction price of $12,000 is recorded in long-term deferred revenue, based upon timing of anticipated future shipments. The following table summarizes deferred revenue in connection with license and collaboration agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022: Balance at Balance at End Beginning of Period Additions Deductions of Period Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Huadong rilonacept $ — $ 12,000 $ — $ 12,000 Genentech vixarelimab — 14,290 — 14,290 Deferred revenue $ — $ 26,290 $ — $ 26,290 |
