Collaborations and other relationships

(9) Collaborations and other relationships

In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into various collaboration arrangements which provide the Company with rights to develop, produce and market products using certain know-how, technology and patent rights maintained by the Company’s collaborative partners. The arrangements are often entered into in order to share risks and rewards related to a specific program or product. The Company’s collaborative arrangements include agreements with respect to transition services and a number of on-going relationships.

Grifols / Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc.

The Company and Grifols Diagnostic Solutions, Inc. (“Grifols”) have an ongoing collaboration arrangement (the “Joint Business”) to pursue income-generating opportunities through the development of certain intellectual properties (“IP”). The governance of the Joint Business is shared through a Supervisory Board made up of equal representation by the Company and Grifols, which is responsible for all significant decisions relating to the Joint Business that are not exclusively assigned to either the Company or Grifols, as defined in the Joint Business agreement. The Company’s portion of the pre-tax net profit shared under the Joint Business was $10.3 million and $10.8 million during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively. This includes the Company's portion of the pre-tax net profit of $5.6 million and $7.6 million during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively, on sales transactions with third parties where the Company is the principal. The Company recognized revenues, cost of revenue, excluding amortization of intangible assets, and operating expenses on a gross basis on these sales transactions in their respective lines in the consolidated statements of operations. This also includes revenue from collaboration and royalty agreements, which is presented on a net basis within Collaboration and other revenues, of $4.7 million, and $3.2 million during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, respectively.

Quotient Limited

In January 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with Quotient Limited (“Quotient”), a commercial-stage diagnostics company, to distribute and sell Quotient’s transfusion diagnostics platform MosaiQ™. Under the terms of a distribution and supply agreement, Quotient is responsible for the development and launch of MosaiQ™, while the Company will leverage its worldwide commercial capabilities to sell the product to customers. The Company has exclusive rights to distribute MosaiQ™ for the global patient testing market (for blood grouping) and the donor testing market in the developing world and Japan (for blood grouping and serological disease screening). Quotient retains all rights to commercialize MosaiQ™ in the developed world, excluding Japan, for the donor testing market. On September 4, 2020, the Company and Quotient amended the distribution and supply agreement and entered into a binding letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), under which the Company may be required to make up to $60.0 million of payments upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones and commercial sales benchmarks, which include up to $25.0 million of payments upon the achievement by the Company of certain cumulative revenue milestones. The Company did not make such payments during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2022 and does not anticipate making any such payments for the remainder of fiscal year 2022.

During the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021, under a separate supply agreement, the Company purchased inventories from a subsidiary of Quotient amounting to $6.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
