Acquisitions

Turning Point

On August 17, 2022, BMS acquired Turning Point for $4.1 billion of cash (or $3.3 billion net of cash acquired). Turning Point was a clinical-stage precision oncology company with a pipeline of investigational medicines designed to target the common mutations and alterations that drive cancer growth. The acquisition provided BMS rights to Turning Point's lead asset, repotrectinib, and other clinical and pre-clinical stage assets. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination requiring all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date.
The total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:
Dollars in MillionsTotal Consideration
Cash consideration for outstanding shares $3,811 
Cash consideration for equity awards 302 
  Consideration paid4,113

Total consideration to be allocated$3,960 
(a)    Includes unvested equity awards of $73 million expensed in Marketing, selling, and administrative and $80 million expensed in Research and development in 2022.

The purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based upon their respective fair values summarized below:

Total consideration allocated$3,960 
(a)    Intangible assets primarily consist of IPRD allocated to repotrectinib ($2.8 billion), a potential best-in-class tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the ROS1 and NTRK oncogenic drivers in NSCLC and other advanced solid tumors. Repotrectinib is currently in registrational Phase II study in adults and a Phase I/II study in pediatric patients. The estimated fair value of IPRD assets was determined using an income approach valuation method.
(b)    Goodwill resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The results of Turning Point's operations were included in the consolidated financial statements commencing August 18, 2022, and were not material. Historical financial results of the acquired entity were not significant.

MyoKardia

In November 2020, BMS acquired MyoKardia for $13.1 billion, including cash settlements of equity stock awards. MyoKardia was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a precision medicine approach to discover, develop and commercialize targeted therapies for the treatment of serious cardiovascular diseases. The acquisition provided BMS with rights to MyoKardia’s lead asset, mavacamten, a potential first-in-class cardiovascular medicine for the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mavacamten was approved by FDA in April 2022 under the brand name Camzyos.

BMS funded the transaction through a combination of cash on hand from its operations and net proceeds received in connection with the 2020 senior unsecured notes offering. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition since mavacamten represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (excluding cash and deferred income taxes). As a result, $11.4 billion was expensed to Acquired IPRD during 2020. Additionally, in connection with this acquisition, BMS recorded approximately $1.4 billion of assets primarily consisting of cash, deferred income taxes, licenses; liabilities assumed were $226 million. Total consideration paid also included $482 million of unvested stock awards expensed to Marketing, selling and administrative ($241 million) and Research and development ($241 million).

Forbius

In 2020, BMS acquired all of the outstanding shares of Forbius for $185 million and contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments up to $815 million. Forbius was a privately held, clinical-stage protein engineering company that designed and developed biotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic diseases. The acquisition provided BMS with full rights to Forbius' TGF-beta program, including the program’s lead investigational asset, AVID200, which was in Phase I development. BMS accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition since AVID200 represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. As a result, $178 million was expensed to Acquired IPRD and $7 million was allocated to deferred tax assets.

Diabetes Business

In February 2014, BMS and AstraZeneca terminated their diabetes business alliance agreements and BMS sold to AstraZeneca substantially all of the diabetes business comprising the alliance. Consideration for the transaction included tiered royalty payments ranging from 10% to 25% based on net sales through 2025. Royalties were $924 million in 2022, $725 million in 2021 and $673 million in 2020.

In 2015 and 2017, BMS transferred a percentage of its future royalty rights on Amelyn, Onglyza* and Farxiga* net product sales to third parties. As a result of these transfers, the royalty income associated with these products was reduced by $114 million in 2022, $103 million in 2021 and $106 million in 2020.

Mature Products and Other

Manufacturing Operations

In January 2023, BMS sold its manufacturing facility in Syracuse, New York to LOTTE Corporation resulting in cash proceeds of $159 million, which was received in December 2022. The business was accounted for as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2022, and its assets were reduced to the estimated relative fair value resulting in a $63 million impairment charge recorded to Cost of products sold in 2022. Assets and liabilities reclassified to held-for-sale and included within Other current assets and Other current liabilities were $172 million and $20 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.

Other

In 2022, product rights to several mature products were sold to Cheplapharm, resulting in cash proceeds of $221 million and a divestiture gain of $211 million.

In 2020, the product rights to a mature brand were sold resulting in proceeds of $50 million and divestiture gain of $49 million.

Keytruda* Patent License Agreement

In 2017, BMS and Ono entered a global patent license agreement with Merck related to Merck's PD-1 antibody Keytruda*. In accordance with the agreement, Merck is obligated to pay ongoing royalties on global sales of Keytruda* of 6.5% from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2023, and 2.5% from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026. The companies also granted certain rights to each other under their respective patent portfolios pertaining to PD-1. Payments and royalties are shared between BMS and Ono on a 75/25 percent allocation, respectively after adjusting for each parties' legal fees.

Tecentriq* Patent License Agreement

In 2020, BMS and Ono entered a global patent license agreement with Roche Group related to Tecentriq*, Roche’s anti-PD-L1 antibody. Under the agreement, Roche paid $324 million, which included royalties in 2020, and will pay single-digit royalties on worldwide net sales of Tecentriq* through December 31, 2026. The upfront payment and royalties are shared between BMS and Ono consistent with existing agreements. BMS recorded $239 million in Other (income)/expense, net for the settlement in 2020.

In-license and other arrangements

Immatics

In 2022, BMS obtained a global exclusive license to Immatics’ TCR bispecific IMA401 program. IMA401 is being studied in oncology and a Clinical Trial Application has been approved by the German federal regulatory authority. The trial commenced in May 2022. BMS and Immatics collaborate on the development and BMS will be responsible for the commercialization of IMA401 worldwide, including strategic decisions, regulatory responsibilities, funding and manufacturing. Immatics has the option to co-fund U.S. development in exchange for enhanced U.S. royalty payments and/or to co-promote IMA401 in the U.S. The transaction included an upfront payment of $150 million which was expensed to Acquired IPRD in 2022. In addition, Immatics is eligible to receive contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones up to $770 million, as well as royalties on global net sales.

Agenus

In 2021, BMS obtained a global exclusive license to Agenus’ proprietary AGEN1777 bispecific antibody program that blocks TIGIT and an additional target. AGEN1777 is being studied in oncology and a Phase I clinical trial was initiated in October 2021. BMS is responsible for the development and any subsequent commercialization of AGEN1777 and its related products worldwide, including strategic decisions, regulatory responsibilities, funding and manufacturing. The transaction included a payment of $200 million which was included in Acquired IPRD. In addition, Agenus is eligible to receive contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones up to $1.4 billion as well as royalties on global net sales.

Dragonfly

In 2020, BMS obtained a global exclusive license to Dragonfly’s interleukin-12 ("IL-12") investigational immunotherapy program, including its extended half-life cytokine DF6002. BMS is responsible for the development and any subsequent commercialization of DF6002 and its related products worldwide, including strategic decisions, regulatory responsibilities, funding and manufacturing. Dragonfly continues to be involved in the development of DF6002 in current and certain future Phase I/II clinical trials. BMS paid $475 million to Dragonfly for the rights in 2020, which was expensed to Acquired IPRD. The payment included $75 million following the commencement of a Phase I combination clinical study. Dragonfly is eligible to receive additional contingent consideration comprised of development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments up to $2.7 billion and royalties on global net sales. In 2022, a Phase I development milestone for IL-12 was achieved resulting in a $175 million payment to Dragonfly which was included in Acquired IPRD. The parties also amended the terms of three future milestones by requiring the achievement of certain criteria by specified dates unless BMS notifies Dragonfly that it will discontinue development of IL-12. These milestones continue to be considered substantive and contingent because the decision to proceed will be based on an assessment of clinical data prior to the specified dates.

In January 2023, BMS notified Dragonfly that it was terminating the global exclusive license that relates to Dragonfly’s IL-12. The termination is effective 90 days after notification at which time all rights will revert back to Dragonfly.
Nimbus

BMS and Nimbus Therapeutics entered into a settlement resolving all legal claims and business interests pertaining to Nimbus’ TYK2 inhibitor in 2022 resulting in $40 million of income. The settlement also provides for BMS to receive additional amounts for contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones upon the occurrence of certain events and approximately 10% of any change in control proceeds received by Nimbus Therapeutics related to its TYK2 inhibitor. In February 2023, Takeda acquired 100% ownership of Nimbus Therapeutics' TYK2 inhibitor for approximately $4.0 billion of upfront proceeds plus contingent sales-based milestones aggregating up to $2.0 billion.

Other
In 2022, BMS amended the terms of a license arrangement and paid a third party $295 million to extinguish a future royalty obligation related to mavacamten, prior to its FDA approval in April 2022, resulting in an Acquired IPRD charge.
