Collaboration and Licensing Agreements

Licensing and Other Partner AgreementsWe periodically enter into licensing and other partner agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for the development, manufacture, marketing and/or sale of pharmaceutical products. Our significant licensing and other partner agreements are primarily focused on the development, manufacturing, supply and commercialization of multiple, high-value generic biologic compounds, insulin analog products and respiratory products, among other complex products. Under these agreements, we have future potential milestone payments and co-development expenses payable to third parties as part of our licensing, development and co-development programs. Payments under these agreements generally become due and are payable upon the satisfaction or achievement of certain developmental, regulatory or commercial milestones or as development expenses are incurred on defined projects. Milestone payment obligations are uncertain, including the prediction of timing and the occurrence of events triggering a future obligation and are not reflected as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, except for obligations reflected as acquisition related contingent consideration. Refer to Note 10 Financial Instruments and Risk Management for further discussion of contingent consideration.

Our potential maximum development milestones not accrued for at March 31, 2022 totaled approximately $338 million. We estimate that the amounts that may be paid through the end of 2022 to be approximately $10 million. These agreements may also include potential sales-based milestones and call for us to pay a percentage of amounts earned from the sale of the product as a royalty or a profit share. The amounts disclosed do not include sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations on future sales of product as the timing and amount of future sales levels and costs to produce products subject to these obligations is not reasonably estimable. These sales-based milestones or royalty or profit share obligations may be significant depending upon the level of commercial sales for each product.

There have been no significant changes to our licensing and other partner agreements as disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.
