Mundipharma Agreements

5. Mundipharma Agreements

     In May 2011, we entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Mundipharma, or the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to collaborate in the development of FOLOTYN according to a mutually agreed-upon development plan, as updated by the parties from time to time. Under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we retain full commercialization rights for FOLOTYN in the United States and Canada with Mundipharma having exclusive rights to commercialize FOLOTYN in all other countries in the world, or the Mundipharma territories. We received an upfront payment of $50.0 million upon execution of the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement and may receive potential regulatory milestone payments of up to $21.5 million and commercial progress- and sales-dependent milestone payments of up to $289.0 million. Of the $310.5 million in total potential milestone payments, we have determined that any regulatory milestone payments that may become due upon approval of FOLOTYN by regulatory agencies other than in the European Union, and all commercial milestone payments, are contingent consideration and will be accounted for as revenue in the period in which the respective revenue recognition criteria are met. Included in the $21.5 million of potential regulatory milestone payments is a $14.5 million milestone payment related to obtaining conditional approval of FOLOTYN for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL in the European Union, which is deemed to be a substantive milestone given the ongoing regulatory services we are providing related to the underlying European Marketing Authorisation Application, or MAA, and will be accounted for as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved. The remaining $296.0 million in total potential milestone payments are not deemed to be substantive for accounting purposes and will be recognized when the appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met. In the event Mundipharma achieves the first reimbursable commercial sale of FOLOTYN in at least three major market countries in the European Union we would receive a milestone payment from Mundipharma of $10.0 million, which is included in the $289.0 million of commercial milestone payments discussed above. We are also entitled to receive tiered double-digit royalties based on net sales of FOLOTYN within Mundipharma's licensed territories.

     Under the initial development plan for FOLOTYN mutually agreed-upon by Allos and Mundipharma, or the Development Plan, the parties have agreed to conduct and jointly fund the following:

  • all studies required by the FDA as a condition of the accelerated approval of FOLOTYN for relapsed or refractory PTCL, or the FDA Post-Approval Studies, including the ongoing and planned Phase 3 registration studies of FOLOTYN in patients with newly diagnosed PTCL and in patients with relapsed or refractory CTCL; and
  • certain clinical studies to assess the safety and efficacy of FOLOTYN in children, or the EMA Pediatric Studies, which we previously agreed to conduct as a condition of the EMA's acceptance of the MAA for review.

     Under the Development Plan, we are assigned operational responsibility for the FDA Post-Approval Studies and Mundipharma is assigned operational responsibility for the EMA Pediatric Studies. The Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement also allows, but does not require, the parties to conduct additional future clinical studies, which may be conducted jointly, in which case one of the parties will be assigned operational responsibility and the costs of such studies will be treated as joint development costs to be shared between the parties, or separately, in which case the party proposing such studies will be solely responsible for the conduct and costs of the studies.

     Under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, Mundipharma is initially responsible for 40% of the joint development costs incurred by the parties, which increases to 50% (a) in the calendar quarter after Mundipharma receives conditional approval to market FOLOTYN for relapsed or refractory PTCL in the European Union pursuant to the currently pending MAA, which approval must be received no later than December 31, 2012, or (b) if such conditional approval is not obtained, the later of (i) the calendar quarter of the first approval of FOLOTYN in the European Union for relapsed or refractory PTCL (other than pursuant to clause (a) above) or first-line PTCL, and (ii) the first calendar quarter in which the development cost differential equals or exceeds $15.0 million. The "development cost differential" is defined as the cumulative amount of joint development costs that Mundipharma would have incurred if it was responsible for 50% of the joint development costs rather than its initial 40% share. To the extent that this development cost differential does not meet or exceed $15.0 million by December 31, 2019, and if conditional approval in the European Union has not been obtained, then we are required to pay Mundipharma the difference between $15.0 million and the amount of the development cost differential as of December 31, 2019.

     The total amount of consideration allocable to the Mundipharma Agreements is limited to the amount that is fixed or determinable other than with respect to the impact of either of the following: (a) any refund rights or other concessions to which the customer may be entitled or (b) performance bonuses to which the vendor may be entitled. Since a portion of the arrangement consideration received by the Company is subject to a contingent payment obligation relating to the development cost differential as described above, we excluded the amount of this contingent payment obligation from the arrangement consideration. As amounts related to the contingent payment obligation become nonrefundable, these amounts are added to the arrangement consideration and reallocated to the deliverables in the period in which the amounts become nonrefundable.

     As of December 31, 2011, the development cost differential of $223,000 was included in the allocable Mundipharma arrangement consideration, and our contingent payment obligation related to the development cost differential was approximately $14,777,000 and is recorded as an other long-term liability on the Balance Sheet. We record the joint development cost reimbursements received from Mundipharma as license and other revenue in the Statement of Operations; and we record the full amount of our joint development costs as research and development expense.

     In connection with the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we entered into a separate supply agreement with Mundipharma Medical Company, an affiliate of Mundipharma, pursuant to which we have agreed to supply FOLOTYN for use in clinical trials for which Mundipharma bears operational responsibility and to support Mundipharma's commercial requirements. We refer to this as the Mundipharma Supply Agreement, and we refer to the Mundipharma Supply Agreement and the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement together as the Mundipharma Agreements.

     Pursuant to the accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 605-25, or ASC 605-25, which governs revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, we have evaluated the four non-contingent deliverables under the Mundipharma Agreements and determined that they meet the criteria for separation and are therefore treated as separate units of accounting, as follows:

  • Licenses from Allos to commercialize, develop and manufacture FOLOTYN worldwide, outside of the United States and Canada, or the Licenses;
  • Regulatory services provided by Allos related to the MAA through May 10, 2012;
  • Research and development services provided by Allos related to jointly agreed-upon clinical development activities through approximately 2022, with cost sharing as discussed above; and
  • Clinical trial supply obligations to supply FOLOTYN for use in the EMA Pediatric Studies.

     We did not include the obligation to provide clinical trial supplies for any additional future clinical studies for which Mundipharma may bear operational responsibility as a separate deliverable, as there were no such clinical studies included in the initial Development Plan at the inception of the arrangement, and no such clinical studies have been subsequently added. Under the Mundipharma Agreements, Mundipharma has the option to either order clinical supply for these potential future clinical studies from us or obtain the supplies from other third-party manufacturers. Further, pursuant to the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we granted Mundipharma a non-exclusive right and license, with the right to sublicense, under our manufacturing know-how and patents, to manufacture FOLOTYN for use in accordance with the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement. Both the manufacturing license and Mundipharma's access to all information necessary or useful for the manufacturing and testing of FOLOTYN were delivered effective upon execution of the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Supply Agreement, we have agreed to provide such other reasonable assistance as required to enable Mundipharma or its permitted sublicensee to manufacture FOLOTYN. However, we have determined that this effort is an inconsequential or perfunctory performance obligation and as a result have not included this as a deliverable in the arrangement.

     The supply of FOLOTYN for Mundipharma's commercial requirements is contingent upon the receipt of regulatory approvals to commercialize FOLOTYN in the Mundipharma territories. Because our commercial supply obligation is contingent upon the receipt of future regulatory approvals, and there were no binding commitments or firm purchase orders pending for commercial supply at or near the execution of the agreement, our commercial supply obligation is deemed to be contingent and is not valued as a deliverable under the Mundipharma Agreements. As of December 31, 2011, no clinical or commercial supply has been delivered under the Mundipharma Supply Agreement. If Mundipharma orders the supplies from us, the pricing for this supply would equal our third-party manufacturing cost plus a pre-negotiated percentage, which we have determined is not at a significant incremental discount to market rates.

     Under the Mundipharma Agreements, the parties have agreed to establish and participate on several joint committees to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties' activities under the agreements. We have considered whether our participation on the joint committees may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. Had we considered our participation on the joint committees as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on our accounting for the arrangement based on our analysis of the maximum potential estimated selling price of such participation.

     We allocated the Mundipharma arrangement consideration based on the percentage of the relative selling price of each unit of accounting. We estimated the selling price of the Licenses using the relief from royalty method income approach, which utilized estimated total FOLOTYN product sales revenue in the Mundipharma territories over the expected patent life. We estimated the selling prices of the regulatory and research and development services using third party costs and discounted cash flows. The estimated selling prices utilized assumptions including internal estimates of research and development personnel needed to perform the regulatory and research and development services; and estimates of expected cash outflows to third parties for services and supplies for the respective unit of accounting over the expected period that the services will be performed, which represents one year for the regulatory services and approximately through 2022 for the research and development services, as discussed further below. We estimated the selling price of the clinical supply obligation using third party costs and estimates of the quantity of product to be required to conduct the EMA Pediatric Studies.

     The impact of a 1% change in the present value factors on the resulting allocated arrangement consideration, which consists of the upfront payment and the estimated payments for research and development services and clinical supply, less the amount of the contingent payment obligation related to the development cost differential, is as follows:


               
      Impact of change in Present    
      Value Factor on allocated    
      arrangement consideration    
  Present Value           Expected
  Factor Used   1% increase   1% decrease   Completion
License 22 % (560,000 ) 550,000   Completed
Regulatory 6 % 90,000   (170,000 ) May 10, 2012
Research and development 10 % 470,000   (380,000 ) 2022

 

The impact of a 1% change in the present value factors on the resulting allocated arrangement consideration allocated to the clinical supply deliverable is not material.

     Because delivery of the Licenses occurred upon the execution of the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement in May 2011 and there is no general right of return, all $22,709,000 of allocated arrangement consideration related to the Licenses was recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2011.

     We will perform the regulatory services under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement over a period of up to one year, or through May 10, 2012, with no general right of return. Therefore, all allocated arrangement consideration related to the regulatory services will be recognized using the proportional performance method, by which revenue is recognized in proportion to the costs incurred, during the service period of up to one year.

     We will perform the research and development services under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement over the period required to complete the jointly agreed-upon clinical development activities, which we estimate to be approximately through 2022 based on our projected clinical trial enrollment and patient treatment-related follow up time periods, with no general right of return. Therefore, all allocated arrangement consideration related to the research and development services will be recognized as the research and development costs that are subject to reimbursement are incurred.

     As of December 31, 2011, no clinical supply has been delivered under the Mundipharma Supply Agreement, therefore, there was no revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 related to this deliverable.

     Revenues recognized in the Statement of Operations related to the Mundipharma Agreements were as follows:

             
    Years ended December 31,

     Cost of license and other revenue in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $11,698,000 and consisted of 20% of the $50.0 million upfront payment, or $10.0 million, which was paid to the licensors of FOLOTYN under the terms of the FOLOTYN License Agreement with Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, SRI International and Southern Research Institute. In addition, $1,698,000 of costs were incurred in connection with the regulatory services provided related to the European MAA.
