Milestone payments or refundable advance payments that are not considered probable of being achieved are excluded from the transaction price until they are probable.

Sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, related to license arrangements are excluded from variable consideration and will be recognized at the later of (a) when the related sales occur, or (b) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). To date, we have not recognized any royalty revenue resulting from any of our licensing arrangements.

Product Revenue, Net

To date, our source of product revenue has been from the U.S. sales of Andexxa and Bevyxxa, which we began shipping to customers in May 2018 and January 2018, respectively. No costs to obtain or fulfill the contracts have been capitalized. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a total of $0.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as a reduction to revenue consisting primarily of chargebacks and returns.

Collaboration and License Revenue

BMS and Pfizer

Agreement Terms

In January 2014, we entered into an agreement with BMS and Pfizer to further study Andexxa as a reversal agent for their jointly-owned, FDA-approved oral Factor Xa inhibitor, apixaban, through Phase 3 studies (the “2014 BMS and Pfizer Agreement”). We are responsible for the cost of conducting this clinical study. Pursuant to our agreement with BMS and Pfizer, we are obligated to provide research, development and regulatory approval services and participate in the Joint Collaboration Committee (“JCC”) in exchange for a partially refundable upfront fee of $13.0 million and up to $12.0 million of contingent milestone payments due upon achievement of certain development and regulatory events. All consideration received and to be earned under this agreement is subject to a 50% refund contingent upon achievement of certain regulatory and/or clinical events.

In February 2016, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with BMS and Pfizer whereby BMS and Pfizer obtained exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Andexxa in Japan (the “2016 BMS and Pfizer Agreement”). BMS and Pfizer are responsible for all development, regulatory and commercial activities in Japan and we will reimburse BMS and Pfizer for expenses they incur for research and development activities specific to Factor Xa inhibitors other than apixaban. Pursuant to this agreement, we are obligated to provide certain research and development activities outside of Japan, provide clinical drug supply and related manufacturing services and to participate on various committees in exchange for a non-refundable upfront fee of $15.0 million. We are also eligible to receive, contingent payments totaling up to $20.0 million which may be earned upon achievement of certain regulatory events and up to $70.0 million which may be earned upon achievement of specified annual net sales volumes in Japan. We are also entitled to receive royalties ranging from 5% to 15% on net sales of Andexxa in Japan.

Revenue Recognition

We assessed the 2014 BMS and Pfizer Agreement and the 2016 BMS and Pfizer Agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that BMS and Pfizer are customers.

We identified the following performance obligations under the 2014 BMS and Pfizer Agreement: (1) to provide research, development and regulatory services, and (2) to provide manufacturing and supply services. We determined that the research, development and regulatory services can only provide benefit to BMS and Pfizer in combination with the manufacture and supply of Andexxa and because the manufacturing know-how is proprietary to us and cannot be provided by other vendors, the services do not qualify as distinct performance obligations. As the manufacturing and supply services are a required input to the research, development and regulatory services, we have combined all activities into a single performance obligation. The nature of the combined performance obligation is to provide research, development and regulatory services necessary to obtain approval of Andexxa as a reversal agent to apixaban in both the United States and Europe.

For revenue recognition purposes, we determined that the duration of the contract began on the effective date in January 2014 and ends upon Andexxa approval in United States and Europe, which we expected to be achieved in 2019. The contract duration is defined as the period in which parties to the contract have present enforceable rights and obligations. We analyzed the impact of BMS and Pfizer terminating the agreement prior to Andexxa approval and determined that there were substantive non-monetary penalties to BMS and Pfizer for doing so. We considered quantitative and qualitative factors to reach this conclusion.

 

We determined that the transaction price of the 2014 BMS and Pfizer Agreement was $16.5 million as of September 30, 2018. In order to determine the transaction price, we evaluated all the payments to be received during the duration of the contract and whether the occurrence of the 50% refundable feature associated with such payments was probable. We have concluded that no portion of the cash receipts should be constrained related to the refund provision because the activities that would trigger a refund are under our control and considered to be remote. As of September 30, 2018, there are no additional payments eligible to be earned.

 

We are utilizing a cost-based input method to measure proportional performance and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. We believe this is the best measure of progress because other measures do not reflect how we transfer the performance obligation to our counterparty. In applying the cost-based input methods of revenue recognition, we use actual costs incurred relative to budgeted costs to fulfill the combined performance obligation. These costs consist primarily of third-party contract costs and internal full-time equivalent effort. A cost-based input method of revenue recognition requires us to make estimates of costs to complete the performance obligations. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the performance obligations will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts can be reasonably estimated. A significant change in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have recognized $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as license and collaboration revenue under the 2014 BMS and Pfizer Agreement and we recorded $0.1 million in deferred revenue under contract liabilities as of September 30, 2018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

There were no costs incurred to obtain or fulfill the contract.

We identified the following performance obligations under the 2016 BMS and Pfizer Agreement: (1) grant of an intellectual property license in Japan, (2) to provide research and development services, and (3) to provide manufacturing services and supply Andexxa for development and commercial purposes. Because the Andexxa program had already progressed into a late-phase of development at the inception of the 2016 BMS and Pfizer Agreement, we concluded that the Japan license has standalone functionality and is capable of being distinct. However, we determined that the license is not distinct from the other obligations within the context of the agreement because the research and development services and manufacturing and supply services are necessary to increase the utility of the intellectual property and the performance of such services requires our unique expertise and experience. Accordingly, we have concluded that research and development services and manufacturing and supply services are not distinct from the license within the context of the contract and therefore the license, research and development services, manufacturing and supply services are combined into a single performance obligation.

In addition, we have identified the following customer options that will create a manufacturing obligation for us upon exercise by BMS and Pfizer: (1) commercial supply of Andexxa for sale in Japan and (2) BMS and Pfizer’s participation in manufacturing capacity expansion. We considered the status of Andexxa approval in the United States and Europe and its impact on Japan, Andexxa’s manufacturing complexities, Andexxa’s expansion plan with our existing vendors and BMS and Pfizer’s manufacturing capabilities to determine if these options constituted options with material rights. These options are not options with material rights because the $15.0 million upfront payment received by us was not negotiated to provide incremental discount for the commercial supplies payments and BMS and Pfizer’s payment for capacity expansion to be received in the future.  

 

For revenue recognition purposes, we have determined that the duration of the contract begins on the effective date in February 2016 and ends upon estimated completion of the Andexxa Phase 4 expansion clinical trial in Japan. The contract duration is defined as the period in which parties to the contract have present enforceable rights and obligations. We analyzed the impact of BMS and Pfizer terminating the agreement prior to the completion of Andexxa Phase 4 expansion clinical trial in Japan and determined that there were substantive non-monetary penalties to BMS and Pfizer for doing so. We considered quantitative and qualitative factors to reach this conclusion.

 

We determined that the transaction price of the 2016 BMS and Pfizer Agreement was $13.1 million as of September 30, 2018 which includes routine updates for estimated costs that BMS and Pfizer will incur in developing Andexxa in Japan. In determining the transaction price, we evaluated all the payments to be received during the duration of the contract. As of September 30, 2018, the transaction price includes, $15.0 million of upfront payment, $5.0 million for acceptance of the Japan New Drug Application (“JNDA”) in Japan, as management expects it to be probable of achievement, $4.4 million of estimated variable consideration for cost-sharing payments from BMS and Pfizer for agreed upon research and development services for clinical trials outside of Japan, and $0.6 million for the estimated costs of Andexxa clinical supplies to BMS and Pfizer for Andexxa Phase 4 expansion clinical trial in Japan. Our transaction price is reduced by $11.9 million for estimated payments to be made to BMS and Pfizer for costs they will incur in developing Andexxa in Japan. Regulatory approval milestones were fully constrained and therefore are not included in the transaction price, as the receipts of such milestones are outside of our control. In determining whether to constrain other milestones, we considered numerous factors, including whether receipt of the milestones is within our control, contingent upon success in future clinical trials and/or the licensee’s efforts. Any consideration related to sales-based milestones (including royalties) will be recognized when the related sales occur as they were determined to relate predominantly to the license granted to BMS and Pfizer and therefore have also been excluded from the transaction price. We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

 

We are responsible to perform certain clinical trials outside of Japan and BMS and Pfizer are responsible to perform research and development services in Japan. Outside of Japan, we are primarily responsible to perform an ethnic sensitivity study (“ESS-Study”) of Japanese ethnicity. BMS and Pfizer are responsible to expand our current Phase 3/4 clinical trial of Andexxa into Japan and to perform any further studies requested by the Japanese regulatory authorities. BMS and Pfizer will reimburse us for 33% of our costs and expenses incurred in conducting the ESS-Study and we will reimburse 66% of the costs and expenses incurred by BMS and Pfizer related to research and development services in Japan including post-approval surveillance studies as may be required by the regulatory authority.

 

All parties to this agreement will make quarterly cost-sharing payments to one another in amounts necessary to ensure that each party bears its contractual share of the overall shared costs incurred. We account for cost-sharing payments received from BMS and Pfizer as increases to our transaction price while cost-sharing payments we make to BMS and Pfizer are accounted for as reductions to our transaction price. Costs incurred by us related to agreed-upon services under the agreement are recorded as research and development expenses in our consolidated condensed statements of operations.

 

We are utilizing a cost-based input method to measure proportional performance and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. We believe this is the best measure of progress because other measures do not reflect how we transfer the performance obligation to our counterparty. In applying the cost-based input methods of revenue recognition, we use actual costs incurred relative to budgeted costs to fulfill the combined performance obligation. These costs consist primarily of third-party contract costs and internal full-time equivalent effort. A cost-based input method of revenue recognition requires management to make estimates of costs to complete the performance obligations. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the performance obligations will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts can be reasonably estimated. A significant change in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have recognized $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, as license and collaboration revenue under the 2016 BMS and Pfizer Agreement and have recorded $7.4 million as deferred revenue under contract liabilities as of September 30, 2018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

There were no costs incurred to obtain or fulfill the contract.

Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. (“Daiichi Sankyo”)

Agreement Terms

 

In July 2014, we entered into an agreement with Daiichi Sankyo to study the safety and efficacy of Andexxa as a reversal agent to edoxaban, in our Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies (the “2014 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement”). We are responsible for the cost of conducting these clinical studies. Pursuant to our agreement with Daiichi Sankyo we are obligated to provide research, development and regulatory services and to manufacture and supply Andexxa in exchange for an upfront nonrefundable fee of $15.0 million, up to two contingent payments totaling $5.0 million which are payable upon the initiation of our Phase 3 study and achievement of certain events associated with scaling up our manufacturing process to support a commercial launch, and up to four payments totaling $20.0 million which are payable upon acceptance of filing and regulatory approval of Andexxa as a reversal agent to edoxaban by the FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”).

 

In October 2016, we amended this agreement to expedite the expansion of our Phase 4 trial in exchange for an upfront fee of $15.0 million, $8.0 million of which is payable back to Daiichi Sanko based solely on quarterly royalty payments of 1% of world-wide net sales of Andexxa. We are also eligible to receive up to three contingent payments totaling $10.0 million payable upon achieving specified clinical site activation and patient enrollment targets. Additionally, the $2.5 million contingent payment associated with scaling up our manufacturing process from the original agreement has been removed by this amendment.

 

In March 2016, we entered into an agreement with Daiichi Sankyo to perform an ESS-Study of Japanese ethnicity, perform any further studies requested by the Japanese regulatory authorities and to deliver services in connection with our collaboration agreement to commercialize Andexxa in Japan with BMS and Pfizer (the “2016 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement”). Daiichi Sankyo will reimburse us for 33% of our costs and expenses incurred to conduct the ESS-Study and between 33% and 100% of costs and expenses we incur for other studies that involve edoxaban under the terms of the arrangement.

Revenue Recognition

We assessed the 2014 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement as amended in October 2016 and the 2016 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that Daiichi Sankyo is a customer.

 

We concluded that the 2014 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement and the October 2016 amendment of this agreement are linked and should be accounted for as a combined agreement. We identified the following performance obligations under the combined agreement: (1) to provide research, development and regulatory services, and (2) to provide manufacturing and supply services. We determined that the research, development and regulatory services can only provide benefit to Daiichi Sankyo in combination with the manufacture and supply of Andexxa and because the manufacturing know-how is proprietary to us and cannot be provided by other vendors, the services do not qualify as distinct performance obligations. As the manufacturing and supply services are a required input to the research, development and regulatory services, we have combined all activities into a single performance obligation. The nature of the combined performance obligation is to provide research, development and regulatory services necessary to obtain approval of Andexxa as a reversal agent to edoxaban in both the United States and Europe.

 

For revenue recognition purposes, we determined that the duration of the contract begins on the effective date in July 2014 and ends upon Andexxa approval as a reversal agent to edoxaban in the United States and Europe, which we expect to be achieved in 2020. We updated the expected duration of the contract in the second quarter of 2018 following an amendment to our development plan. The contract duration is defined as the period in which parties to the contract have present enforceable rights and obligations. We analyzed the impact of Daiichi Sankyo’s terminating the agreement prior to Andexxa approval and determined that there were substantive non-monetary penalties to Daiichi Sankyo for doing so. We considered quantitative and qualitative factors to reach this conclusion.

 

We determined that the transaction price of the 2014 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement and October 2016 amendment of this agreement was $34.0 million as of September 30, 2018. In order to determine the transaction price, we evaluated all the payments to be received during the duration of the contract. As of September 30, 2018, the transaction price includes $22.0 million of upfront payments, $9.0 million in milestones already received upon achievement of specified events and a $3.0 million milestone related to clinical metrics we have determined is probable of achievement. As of September 30, 2018, we have $5.5 million of further milestone payments eligible to be included in the transaction price but have determined they are not probable of achievement and therefore constrained. As part of our evaluation of the constraint, we considered numerous factors, including whether receipt of the milestones is outside of our control and/or contingent upon success in a future clinical trial. We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

 

We are utilizing a cost-based input method to measure proportional performance and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. We believe this is the best measure of progress because other measures do not reflect how we transfer the performance obligation to our counterparty. In applying the cost-based input method of revenue recognition, we use actual costs incurred relative to budgeted costs to fulfill the combined performance obligation. These costs consist primarily of third-party contract costs and internal full-time equivalent effort. A cost-based input method of revenue recognition requires management to make estimates of costs to complete the performance obligations. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the performance obligations will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts can be reasonably estimated. A significant change in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have recognized $1.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as license and collaboration revenue under the combined 2014 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement and October 2016 amendment and have recorded $1.1 million as Unbilled - collaboration and license revenue as of September 30, 2018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

There were no costs incurred to obtain or fulfill the contract.

 

We identified the following performance obligations under the 2016 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement: (1) to provide research and development services, (2) to provide regulatory approval services, and (3) to manufacture and provide clinical supply of Andexxa. We determined that our obligation to provide research and development and regulatory services can only provide benefit to Daiichi Sankyo in combination with our supply of clinical Andexxa for the Phase 4 expansion clinical study. The Andexxa manufacturing know-how is specialized and proprietary to us and cannot be provided by other vendors. Therefore, we have concluded that the research, development, regulatory and Andexxa supply services are not distinct within the context of the contract, and thus these obligations are combined into a single performance obligation.

 

We have exclusive rights to develop Andexxa outside of Japan and are solely responsible for performing such activities, including the ESS-Study, in support of the JNDA. Development activities occurring in Japan, including the expansion of our Phase 4 clinical trial, are the responsibility of BMS and Pfizer, however, the costs of such activities related to Factor Xa inhibitors other than apixaban are borne by us. Pursuant to this agreement, we are responsible to ensure edoxaban is included in all development activities related to Andexxa and Daiichi Sankyo will compensate us accordingly. We account for the expected cost-sharing payments from Daiichi Sankyo as an increase to the transaction price.

 

We determined that the transaction price of the 2016 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement was $15.3 million as of September 30, 2018 which includes routine updates for estimated reimbursable costs to be incurred in future periods. In order to determine the transaction price, we evaluated all the payments to be received during the duration of the contract. As of September 30, 2018, the transaction price includes $5.0 million of upfront payment and $4.4 million of estimated variable consideration for cost-sharing payments from Daiichi Sankyo for agreed upon research and development services incurred and to be incurred outside of Japan including the ESS-study, and $5.9 million of estimated variable consideration for cost-sharing payments from Daiichi Sankyo associated with the development of Andexxa in Japan. As of September 30, 2018, we have $10.0 million of further regulatory milestone payments eligible for achievement, however, regulatory milestones have been fully constrained and thus are not included in the transaction price. In determining whether to constrain these milestones, we considered numerous factors, including whether receipt of the milestones is within our control and/or contingent upon success in future clinical trials. We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

 

We are utilizing a cost-based input method to measure proportional performance and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. We believe this is the best measure of progress because other measures do not reflect how we transfer the performance obligation to our counterparty. In applying the cost-based input methods of revenue recognition, we use actual costs incurred relative to budgeted costs to fulfill the combined performance obligation.

The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the performance obligations will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts can be reasonably estimated. A significant change in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have recognized $1.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, as license and collaboration revenue under the 2016 Daiichi Sankyo Agreement and have recorded $3.3 million as Unbilled - collaboration and license revenue as of September 30, 2018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

None of the costs to obtain or fulfill the contract were capitalized.

Bayer Pharma, AG (“Bayer”) and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Janssen”)

 

Agreement Terms

In January 2014, we entered into an agreement with Bayer and Janssen to study Andexxa as a reversal agent to rivaroxaban in our Phase 3 studies and to seek regulatory approval in the United States and Europe (the “2014 Bayer and Janssen Agreement”). We are responsible for the costs associated with this agreement. We are obligated to provide research, development, manufacturing and regulatory services in exchange for an upfront nonrefundable fee of $10.0 million, up to three payments totaling $7.0 million which are payable upon achievement of certain events associated with scaling up our manufacturing process to support a commercial launch, and up to three payments totaling $8.0 million which are payable upon initiation of our Phase 3 study and regulatory approval of Andexxa as a reversal agent to rivaroxaban in United States and Europe.

Revenue Recognition

We assessed the 2014 Bayer and Janssen Agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that Bayer and Janssen are customers.

 

We identified the following performance obligation under the 2014 Bayer and Janssen Agreement: (1) to provide research and development services, (2) to provide manufacturing services and to supply Andexxa, and (3) to provide regulatory approval services. We determined that the research, development and regulatory services can only provide benefit to Bayer and Janssen in combination with the manufacture and supply of Andexxa and because the manufacturing know-how is specialized and proprietary to us and cannot be provided by other vendors, the services do not qualify as distinct performance obligations. As the manufacturing and supply services are a required input to the research, development and regulatory services, we have combined all activities into a single performance obligation. The nature of the combined performance obligation is to provide research, development and regulatory services necessary to obtain approval of Andexxa as a reversal agent to rivaroxaban in both the United States and Europe.

 

For revenue recognition purposes, we determined that the duration of the contract begins on the effective date of the 2014 Bayer and Janssen Agreement and ends upon Andexxa approval in the United States and Europe for rivaroxaban, expected to be achieved in 2019. The contract duration is defined as the period in which parties to the contract have present enforceable rights and obligations. We analyzed the impact of Bayer and Janssen terminating the agreement prior to Andexxa approval and determined that there were substantive non-monetary penalties to Bayer and Janssen Pfizer for doing so. We considered quantitative and qualitative factors to reach this conclusion.

 

We determined that the transaction price of the 2014 Bayer and Janssen Agreement was $25.0 million as of September 30, 2018. In order to determine the transaction price, we evaluated all the payments to be received during the duration of the contract. As of September 30, 2018, the transaction price includes, $10.0 million of upfront payment, $13.0 million in milestones that have already been achieved and a $2.0 million milestone that we deem probable of achievement following the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use positive trend vote and subsequent discussions with the EMA during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There is no further consideration eligible to be included in the transaction price.

 

We are utilizing a cost-based input method to measure proportional performance and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. We believe this is the best measure of progress because other measures do not reflect how we transfer the performance obligation to our counterparty. In applying the cost-based input method of revenue recognition, we use actual costs incurred relative to budgeted costs to fulfill the combined performance obligation. These costs consist primarily of third-party contract costs and internal full-time equivalent effort. A cost-based input method of revenue recognition requires management to make estimates of costs to complete the performance obligations. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the performance obligations will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts can be reasonably estimated. A significant change in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have recognized $0.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, as license and collaboration revenue under the 2014 Bayer and Janssen Agreement and have recorded $1.9 million as Unbilled - collaboration and license revenue as of September 30, 2018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

None of the costs to obtain or fulfill the contract were capitalized.  

Bayer Pharma, AG (“Bayer”)

Agreement Terms

 

In February 2016, we entered into an agreement with Bayer to perform an ESS-Study of Japanese ethnicity, perform any further studies requested by the Japanese regulatory authorities and to deliver services, in connection with our collaboration agreement to commercialize Andexxa in Japan with BMS and Pfizer (the “2016 Bayer Agreement”). Bayer will reimburse us 33% of our costs and expenses incurred to conduct the ESS-Study and between 33% and 100% of costs and expenses we incur for other studies that involve rivaroxaban under the terms of the arrangement.

 

We are obligated to provide research and development services, to provide clinical drug supply and related manufacturing services and to provide regulatory approval services in exchange for an upfront nonrefundable fee of $5.0 million. We are also eligible to receive, one payment of $10.0 million which is payable upon the initial regulatory approval for Andexxa for rivaroxaban in Japan.  The $10.0 million payment will be reduced to $7.0 million if Japanese regulatory approval is attained based only upon the ESS Study results.

Revenue Recognition

We assessed the 2016 Bayer Agreement in accordance with ASC 606 and concluded that Bayer is a customer.

 

We identified the following performance obligations under the 2016 Bayer Agreement: (1) to provide research and development services, (2) to provide regulatory approval services, and (3) to manufacture and provide clinical supply of Andexxa. We determined that our obligation to provide research and development and regulatory services can only provide benefit to Bayer in combination with our supply of clinical Andexxa for the Phase 4 expansion clinical study. The Andexxa manufacturing know-how is specialized and proprietary to us and cannot be provided by other vendors. Therefore, we have concluded that the research, development, regulatory and Andexxa supply services are not distinct within the context of the contract, and thus these obligations are combined into a single performance obligation.

 

We have exclusive rights to develop Andexxa outside of Japan and are solely responsible for performing such activities, including the ESS-Study, in support of the JNDA. Development activities occurring in Japan, including the expansion of our Phase 4 clinical trial, are the responsibility of BMS and Pfizer, however, the costs of such activities related to Factor Xa inhibitors other than apixaban are borne by us. Pursuant to the 2016 Bayer agreement, we are responsible to ensure rivaroxaban is included in all development activities related to Andexxa and Bayer will compensate us accordingly. We account for the expected cost-sharing payments from Bayer as an increase to our transaction price.

 

We determined that the transaction price of the 2016 Bayer Agreement was $15.3 million as of September 30, 2018 which includes routine updates for estimated reimbursable costs to be incurred in future periods. In order to determine the transaction price, we evaluated all the payments to be received during the duration of the contract. As of September 30, 2018, the transaction price includes a $5.0 million upfront payment, $4.4 million of estimated variable consideration for cost-sharing payments from Bayer for agreed upon research and development services incurred and to be incurred outside of Japan including the ESS-study and $5.9 million of estimated variable consideration for cost-sharing payments from Bayer associated with the development of Andexxa in Japan. As of September 30, 2018, we have $10.0 million of further regulatory milestone payments eligible for achievement, however, regulatory milestones have been fully constrained and thus are not included in the transaction price. In determining whether to constrain these milestones, we considered numerous factors, including whether receipt of the milestones is within our control and/or contingent upon success in future clinical trials. We will re-evaluate the transaction price in each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

 

We are utilizing a cost-based input method to measure proportional performance and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. We believe this is the best measure of progress because other measures do not reflect how we transfer the performance obligation to our counterparty. In applying the cost-based input methods of revenue recognition, we use actual costs incurred relative to budgeted costs to fulfill the combined performance obligation. These costs consist primarily of third-party contract costs and internal full-time equivalent effort. A cost-based input method of revenue recognition requires management to make estimates of costs to complete the performance obligations. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimated costs to complete the performance obligations will be recorded in the period in which changes are identified and amounts can be reasonably estimated. A significant change in these assumptions and estimates could have a material impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognized in future periods.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have recognized $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as license and collaboration revenue under the 2016 Bayer Agreement and have recorded $3.7 million as Unbilled - collaboration and license revenue as of September 30, 2018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

There were no costs incurred to obtain or fulfill the contract.
