COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

11. COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

In November 2017, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Novartis (as amended, the “Collaboration Agreement”) for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of products using the Company’s gene-editing technology for the treatment of certain ophthalmic targets and sickle cell disease. On February 26, 2021, Homology received notice from Novartis that they had elected to terminate the Collaboration Agreement with the Company with respect to the remaining ophthalmic target under the Collaboration Agreement and as a result, the Company regained worldwide exclusive rights to this target. Accordingly, the notice served as notice of Novartis’ termination of the Collaboration Agreement in its entirety, which became effective on August 26, 2021.

The Company recognized revenue under the Collaboration Agreement over time using a cost-to-cost method, which it believed best depicted the transfer of control to the customer. The delivery of the termination notice caused a change in the estimate of total costs to satisfy the single performance obligation under the Collaboration Agreement. The cumulative effect of revisions to the total estimated costs to complete the Company’s single performance obligation was recorded in the current period when the changes were

identified and amounts could be reasonably estimated. As such, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $26.9 million in collaboration revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

As the Collaboration Agreement terminated in 2021, there was no revenue recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue under the Collaboration Agreement of $0.9 million and $30.8 million, respectively, of which $0.8 million and $30.2 million was included in deferred revenue at the beginning the period. There was no accounts receivable or deferred revenue on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the Collaboration Agreement in either period presented.
