Q4 2018
March 14, 2019
• | Due to the increased probability of a generic version of aliskiren being launched in the U.S. in 2019, Noden determined that long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $192.5 million were impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $40.1 million, resulting in a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $152.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. This write-down is included in “Impairment of intangible assets” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Offsetting the impairment was a $41.6 million decrease in fair value of the contingent liability primarily related to the reduced estimate in the probability in paying milestones to Novartis for Tekturna, including $19.2 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
• | As of December 31, 2018, the remaining balance of Noden Products intangible assets is $37.6 million and is being amortized straight-line over a remaining life of 8 years. |
LENSAR
• | LENSAR Laser System revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $7.2 million, compared with $7.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. |
• | Gross margins on LENSAR revenue in the fourth quarter were 53 percent. |

Royalty-bearing products relating to Queen et al. Patents
Tysabri®
• | The Queen et al. patents have expired, and the resulting royalty revenue has dropped substantially since the first quarter of 2016. |
• | PDL recorded revenue of $2 thousand from Tysabri in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
• | Royalties from PDL’s licensees to the Queen et al. patents were significantly lower than in the fourth quarter of 2017 as product supply of Tysabri manufactured prior to patent expiry in the U.S. have been extinguished and ex-U.S. product supplies were rapidly being exhausted. As a result, we do not expect any further royalties from product sales of Tysabri after the fourth quarter of 2018. |
