BARDA Agreement

BARDA Agreement

In July 2023, Melinta entered into a partnership with BARDA to advance BAXDELA and VABOMERE for use in pediatrics and to partner on the development of BAXDELA against certain biothreat pathogens (BARDA-Supported Studies). Under this contract, BARDA reimburses Melinta certain percentages of costs incurred, as defined in the agreement, in connection with the BARDA-Supported Studies. BARDA has awarded a total of $47.5 million of funding with the potential of additional funding of $97.1 million, amounting to total funding up to $144.6 million, if all options are exercised. If all contract options are exercised, the contract is expected to continue through 2034. Through March 2026, Melinta has recognized BARDA reimbursement totaling $21.8 million.

There are two performance obligations under the BARDA contract, which are research and development services performed for (a) BAXDELA and VABOMERE pediatric studies and (b) BAXDELA biodefense studies. These research and development services were performance obligations because they are distinct within the context of the contract; that is, the services are separately identifiable from other obligations within the arrangement. In addition, the transaction prices included within the BARDA contract were equivalent to the standalone selling price of the research and development services and would be allocated. Therefore, research and development services are recognized as contract revenue over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied, in accordance with the BARDA agreement. The Company recognized $2.4 million of contract revenue under the BARDA agreement for the three-months ended March 31, 2026.
