C.Agreements
Significant Collaborative Agreements
Roche
In May 2000, the Company granted Genentech, now a member of the Roche Group, an exclusive license to use the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology. Pursuant to this agreement, Roche developed and received marketing approval for its HER2-targeting ADC, Kadcyla, in the U.S., Japan, the European Union, and numerous other countries. In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, $38.8 million and $45.2 million of non-cash royalties on net sales of Kadcyla were recorded and included in non-cash royalty revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Kadcyla sales occurring after January 1, 2015 were covered by a royalty purchase agreement whereby the associated cash, except for a residual tail, was initially remitted to Immunity Royalty Holdings, L.P. (IRH). In January 2019, the Company sold its residual tail to OMERS, the defined benefit pension plan for municipal employees in the Province of Ontario, Canada, for a net payment of $65.2 million, as discussed further in Note E. Simultaneously, OMERS purchased IRH’s right to the royalties the Company previously sold as described above, therefore obtaining the rights to 100% of the royalties on the commercial sales of Kadcyla received from that date on.
Viridian
In October 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement with Viridian pursuant to which the Company granted Viridian the exclusive right to develop and commercialize an insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) antibody for all non-oncology indications that do not use radiopharmaceuticals in exchange for an upfront payment, with the potential to receive up to a total of $143.0 million in milestone payments plus royalties on the commercial sales of any resulting product. The total milestones are categorized as follows: development and regulatory milestones—$48.0 million; and sales milestones—$95.0 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, a development milestone became probable of being achieved, which resulted in $2.5 million that was allocated to the delivered license being recorded as revenue and included in license and milestone fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The development milestone was subsequently achieved in October 2021.
