Janssen Biotech

In February 2018, the Company entered into a global co-development and commercialization agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (“Janssen”) for izencitinib (formerly known as TD-1473) and related back-up compounds for inflammatory intestinal diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease (the “Janssen Agreement”). The Company received an upfront payment of $100.0 million.

Under the terms of the Janssen Agreement, following the initial Phase 2 development period, including the completion of the Phase 2 Crohn’s study, Janssen has the right to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize izencitinib and certain related back-up compounds by paying the Company $200.0 million. Upon any such election, the Company and Janssen would jointly develop and commercialize izencitinib in inflammatory intestinal diseases and share profits in the US and expenses related to Phase 3 development and registration activities (67% to Janssen; 33% to Theravance Biopharma). The Company would receive royalties on ex-US sales at double-digit tiered percentage royalty rates, and the Company would be eligible to receive additional milestone payments from Janssen. In August 2021, the Company completed a Phase 2b/3 (RHEA) induction and maintenance study of izencitinib in ulcerative colitis and announced that the study results did not meet its primary endpoint. Based on those results, the Company does not expect to receive any future milestone payments under the Janssen Agreement related to izencitinib. A Phase 2 (DIONE) study of izencitinib in Crohn’s disease is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

The Janssen Agreement was considered to be within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) and the Company identified research and development activities as its only performance obligation. The Company further determined that the transaction price under the arrangement was the $100.0 million upfront payment which was allocated to the single performance obligation.

The $200.0 million potential opt-in and other milestones payments were considered variable consideration and not included in the transaction price as they were all determined to be fully constrained under ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of this variable consideration constraint, it determined that the potential payments are contingent upon developmental and regulatory milestones that are uncertain and are highly susceptible to factors outside of its control.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $2.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, as revenue from collaboration arrangements related to the Janssen Agreement. The remaining transaction price of $2.8 million, related to the $100.0 million upfront payment, was recorded in deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized as collaboration revenue as the research and development services are delivered over the remaining Phase 2 development period which is currently expected to continue through the first quarter of 2022.

Collaboration revenue is recognized for the research and development services based on a measure of the Company’s efforts toward satisfying the performance obligation relative to the total expected efforts or inputs to satisfy the performance obligation (e.g., costs incurred compared to total budget). Consequently, delays in trial activity and/or changes to the total budget will impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized in any given reporting period. For the three and

nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $4.7 million and $18.3 million, respectively, in research and development costs related to the Janssen Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $9.8 million and $29.0 million, respectively, in research and development costs related to the Janssen Agreement. In future reporting periods, the Company will reevaluate the estimates related to its efforts towards satisfying the performance obligation and may record a change in estimate if deemed necessary.

Viatris

In January 2015, the Company and Viatris Inc. (formerly, Mylan Ireland Limited) (“Viatris”) established a strategic collaboration (the “Viatris Agreement”) for the development and commercialization of revefenacin, including YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution. The Company entered into the collaboration to expand the breadth of its revefenacin development program and extend its commercial reach beyond the hospital setting.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company is eligible to receive from Viatris potential global (ex-China and adjacent territories) development, regulatory and sales milestone payments totaling up to $205.0 million in the aggregate, with $160.0 million associated with YUPELRI monotherapy, and $45.0 million associated with future potential combination products. Of the $160.0 million associated with monotherapy, $150.0 million relates to sales milestones based on achieving certain levels of net sales and $10.0 million relates to regulatory actions in the European Union (“EU”). The $45.0 million associated with future potential combination products relates solely to development and regulatory actions.

The Viatris Agreement is considered to be within the scope of ASC 808 and partially within the scope of ASC 606, as the parties are active participants and exposed to the risks and rewards of the collaborative activity with a unit of account provided to Viatris as a customer. Under the terms of the Viatris Agreement, which included the delivery by the Company of a license to Viatris to develop and commercialize revefenacin in exchange for $15.0 million received in 2015, Viatris was responsible for reimbursement of the Company’s costs related to the registrational program up until the approval of the first new drug application in November 2018, thereafter, R&D expenses are shared. Performing R&D services for reimbursement is considered to be a collaborative activity under the scope of ASC 808. Reimbursable program costs are recognized proportionately with the performance of the underlying services and accounted for as reductions to R&D expense. For this unit of account, the Company did not recognize revenue or analogize to ASC 606 and, as such, the reimbursable program costs are excluded from the transaction price. The Company determined the license to develop and commercialize revefenacin to be a unit of account and a separate performance obligation for which Viatris is a customer with the $15.0 million for the delivery of the license as the transaction price.

The future potential milestone amounts for the Viatris Agreement were not included in the transaction price, as they were all determined to be fully constrained following the concepts of ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of the development and regulatory milestones constraint, the Company determined that the achievement of such milestones is contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals which are not within its control and uncertain at this stage. The Company expects that the sales-based milestone payments and royalty arrangements will be recognized when the sales occur or the milestone is achieved.

The Company is also entitled to a share of US profits and losses (65% to Viatris; 35% to Theravance Biopharma) received in connection with commercialization of YUPELRI, and the Company is entitled to low double-digit tiered royalties on ex-US net sales. Viatris is the principal in the sales transactions, and as a result, the Company does not reflect the product sales in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Following the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of YUPELRI in November 2018, net amounts payable to or receivable from Viatris each quarter under the profit-sharing structure are disaggregated according to their individual components. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, amounts receivable from Viatris in connection with the commercialization of YUPELRI are recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations as revenue from “Viatris collaboration agreement” irrespective of whether the overall collaboration is profitable. Amounts payable to Viatris, if any, in connection with the commercialization of YUPELRI are recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a collaboration loss within selling, general and administrative expenses. Any reimbursement from Viatris attributed to the 65% cost-sharing of the Company’s R&D expenses is characterized as a

reduction of R&D expense, as the Company does not consider performing research and development services for reimbursement to be a part of its ordinary activities.

The following YUPELRI-related amounts were recognized within revenue in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

While Viatris records the total net sales of YUPELRI within its consolidated financial statements, Viatris collaboration agreement revenue includes the Company’s implied 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $13.8 million and $41.3 million, respectively, before deducting shared expenses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s implied 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI was $13.0 million and $36.4 million, respectively, before deducting shared expenses.

Reimbursement of R&D Expense

As noted above, under certain collaborative arrangements the Company is entitled to reimbursement of certain R&D expenses. Activities under collaborative arrangements for which the Company is entitled to reimbursement are considered to be collaborative activities under the scope of ASC 808. For these units of account, the Company does not analogize to ASC 606 or recognize revenue. The Company records reimbursement payments received from its collaboration partners as reductions to R&D expense.

The following table summarizes the reductions to R&D expense related to the reimbursement payments:

Revenue from Licensing Arrangements

Viatris

In June 2019, the Company announced the expansion of the Viatris Agreement (the “Viatris Amendment”) to grant Viatris exclusive development and commercialization rights to nebulized revefenacin in China and adjacent territories. In exchange, the Company received an upfront payment of $18.5 million (before a required tax withholding) and will be eligible to receive potential development and sales milestones totaling $54.0 million and low double-digit tiered royalties on net sales of nebulized revefenacin, if approved. Of the $54.0 million in potential milestones, $9.0 million is associated with the development of YUPELRI monotherapy, $7.5 million associated with the development of future potential combination products, and $37.5 million is associated with sales milestones. Viatris is responsible for all aspects of development and commercialization in the partnered regions, including pre- and post-launch activities and product registration and all associated costs.

The Viatris Amendment is accounted for under ASC 606 as a separate contract from the original Viatris Agreement that was entered into in January 2015. The Company identified a single performance obligation comprising of the delivery of the license to develop and commercialize revefenacin in China and adjacent territories. The transaction price was determined to be the upfront payment of $18.5 million which the Company recognized as licensing revenue following the completion of the performance obligation in June 2019.

The future potential milestone amounts for the Viatris Amendment were not included in the transaction price, as they were all determined to be fully constrained following the concepts of ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of

the development milestones constraint, the Company determined that the achievement of such milestones is contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals which are not within its control and uncertain at this stage. The Company expects that the sales-based milestone payments and royalty arrangements will be recognized when the sales occur or the milestone is achieved. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price each quarter and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

In March 2020, the Company earned a $1.5 million development milestone payment for the acceptance of a clinical trial application associated with the use of YUPELRI monotherapy in China and adjacent territories.
