Acquisitions

Receptos, Inc. (Receptos): On August 27, 2015 (Acquisition Date), we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Receptos, resulting in Receptos becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. Receptos' lead drug candidate, ozanimod, is a small molecule that modulates sphingosine 1-phosphate 1 and 5 receptors and it is in development for immune-inflammatory indications, including inflammatory bowel disease and relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). In clinical trial results, ozanimod demonstrated several areas of potential advantage over existing oral therapies for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) and RMS, including its cardiac, hepatotoxicity and lymphocyte recovery profile. The phase III TRUE NORTH trial in UC is currently underway with data expected in 2018. The phase III RADIANCE and SUNBEAM RMS trials are ongoing and data are expected in the first half of 2017. The acquisition of Receptos also included RPC4046, an anti-interleukin-13 (IL-13) antibody in development for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), an allergic/immune-mediated orphan disease. RPC4046 was licensed from AbbVie Bahamas Ltd. and AbbVie Inc. (collectively referred to as AbbVie) and is currently in phase II testing for EoE. The results of operations for Receptos are included in our consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition Date and the assets and liabilities of Receptos have been recorded at their respective fair values on the Acquisition Date and consolidated with our assets and liabilities.

We paid approximately $7.626 billion, consisting of $7.311 billion for common stock outstanding and $0.315 billion for the portion of equity compensation attributable to the pre-combination period. In addition, we paid $0.197 billion for the portion of equity compensation attributable to the post-combination service period, which has been recorded as expense over the required service period ending in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date and requires the fair value of acquired IPR&D to be classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. A preliminary purchase price allocation has been performed and the recorded amounts for intangible assets, goodwill and associated deferred tax assets and liabilities are subject to change pending finalization of valuation efforts.

The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.

The total cash consideration for the acquisition of Receptos is summarized as follows:

The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based upon their respective preliminary fair values summarized below. During the fourth quarter of 2015, adjustments have been recorded to increase the amounts initially recorded for deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and goodwill as of the Acquisition Date. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analyses is obtained, but no later than one year from the Acquisition Date.

(1)  Includes cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities.
(2) Upon integration of the acquired intangible assets into our offshore research, manufacturing, and commercial operations, the deferred tax liability was reclassified to a non-current tax liability. (See Note 16)

The fair values of current assets, current liabilities and property, plant and equipment were determined to approximate their book values.

The fair value assigned to acquired IPR&D was based on the present value of expected after-tax cash flows attributable to ozanimod, which is in phase II and III testing. The present value of expected after-tax cash flows attributable to ozanimod and assigned to IPR&D was determined by estimating the after-tax costs to complete development of ozanimod into a commercially viable product, estimating future revenue and ongoing expenses to produce, support and sell ozanimod, on an after-tax basis, and discounting the resulting net cash flows to present value. The revenue and costs projections used were reduced based on the probability that compounds at similar stages of development will become commercially viable products. The rate utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value reflects the risk associated with the intangible asset and is benchmarked to the cost of equity. Acquired IPR&D will be accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval in a major market or discontinuation of development.

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition is primarily attributable to the broadening of our product portfolio and research capabilities in the inflammation and immunology therapeutic area, the assembled workforce and the deferred tax consequences of the IPR&D asset recorded for financial statement purposes. We do not expect any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not amortized, but is subject to review for impairment annually.

As a result of the exclusive development license from AbbVie for RPC4046 that Receptos held prior to our acquisition of Receptos, AbbVie holds an option to enter into a global collaboration for RPC4046 with us following the availability of results from the current phase II study. If AbbVie does not exercise its option, we will have an exclusive worldwide license for the development and commercialization of RPC4046 that will be unlimited as to indications. We do not consider this potential collaboration arrangement to be significant.

From the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2015, our Consolidated Statements of Income included expenses of $380.5 million associated with the acquisition and operations of Receptos as follows(1):

The unaudited pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical financial information of Celgene and Receptos. The pro-forma financial information assumes that the acquisition-related transaction fees and costs incurred were removed from the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015 and were assumed to have been incurred during the first quarter of 2014. The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that may result from the combined operations of Celgene and Receptos. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations.

Quanticel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Quanticel): On October 19, 2015, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Quanticel, a privately held biotechnology company focused on cancer drug discovery, for consideration consisting of $95.9 million in cash at closing plus contingent consideration consisting of future payments of up to $385.0 million for achieving specified discovery and development targets. We have had a research collaboration arrangement with Quanticel since 2011. Through this purchase, Quanticel has become our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we will benefit from full access to Quanticel’s proprietary platform for the single-cell genomic analysis of human cancer, as well as Quanticel’s programs that target specific epigenetic modifiers, which we expect will advance our pipeline of innovative cancer therapies.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires the assets and liabilities of Quanticel to be recorded at their respective fair values on the acquisition date and consolidated into our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of operations for Quanticel have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The fair value of consideration transferred in the acquisition of Quanticel is shown in the table below:

95.9

Fair value of pre-existing equity ownership

Contingent consideration

Total fair value of consideration

273.3



Prior to the acquisition of Quanticel, we had an equity interest equal to approximately 5% of the company’s total capital stock (on an “as converted” basis). Based on the fair market value of this interest derived from the purchase price, we recognized a gain of $10.3 million, which is reflected as a component of other income (expense), net within our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Our potential contingent consideration payments are classified as liabilities, which were measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, with $82.3 million classified as current liabilities and $83.7 million classified as non-current liabilities. We estimated the fair value of potential contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach, which reflects the probability and timing of future potential payments. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a level three liability within the fair value hierarchy. The resulting probability-weighted cash flows were discounted using a discount rate based on a market participant assumption. See Note 4 for post-acquisition changes in fair value. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based upon their respective preliminary fair values summarized below. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analyses is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

(1)  Includes cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale marketable securities, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities.
(2) Technology platform related to Quanticel’s proprietary technology platform for the single-cell genomic analysis of human cancer.

The fair values of current and other non-current assets, property, plant and equipment, current liabilities and debt were determined to approximate their book values.

The fair value of the technology platform intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributable to the intangible asset, which was calculated based on the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach. The multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach included estimating probability adjusted annual after-tax net cash flows through the cycle of development and commercialization of potential products generated by the technology platform then discounting the resulting probability adjusted net post-tax cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk of our overall business operations to arrive at the net present value.

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition is largely attributable to the deferred tax consequences of the finite-lived technology platform intangible asset recorded for financial statement purposes, as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the time of the acquisition. We do not expect any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not amortized, but is subject to review for impairment annually.

The results of operations and cash flows from Quanticel are included in our consolidated financial statements as of October 19, 2015. Pro forma supplemental financial information is not provided as the impact of the Quanticel acquisition was not material to our results of operations in 2015.

Nogra Pharma Limited (Nogra): On April 23, 2014, we entered into a license agreement with Nogra, pursuant to which Nogra granted us an exclusive, royalty-bearing license for its intellectual property relating to GED-0301, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting Smad7, to develop and commercialize products containing GED-0301 for the treatment of Crohn’s disease and other indications. A phase II trial of GED-0301 in patients with active Crohn's disease has been completed and we have initiated a multi-trial clinical program that is designed to support global registrations of GED-0301 in Crohn's disease.

Under the terms of the agreement, which became effective on May 14, 2014 after receipt of certain governmental clearances and approvals, we made an upfront payment of $710.0 million and may make additional contingent developmental, regulatory and sales milestone payments as well as payments based on percentages of annual sales of licensed products. The maximum aggregate amount payable for development and regulatory milestones is approximately $815.0 million, which covers such milestones relating to Crohn’s disease and other indications. Starting from global annual net sales of $500.0 million, aggregate tiered sales milestone payments could total a maximum of $1.050 billion if global annual net sales reach $4.000 billion.

The development and application of the intellectual property covered under the license agreement will be managed by joint committees composed of members from each of Nogra and us. We have the tie-breaking vote on the joint steering committee and as such have ultimate decision-making authority for development, regulatory and commercialization decisions. The agreement also includes provisions for access to employees of Nogra, technical assistance, transfer of manufacturing agreements and transfer of Nogra know-how related to GED-0301. Based on the foregoing factors, for accounting purposes, we have concluded that the acquired assets meet the definition of a business and have accounted for the GED-0301 license as IPR&D acquired in a business combination. The acquisition method of accounting requires that (a) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date and (b) the fair value of IPR&D be classified as an indefinite-lived asset until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Pro-forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because this acquisition is not material to our consolidated results of operations.

The fair value of consideration transferred to acquire the license amounted to:

Our potential contingent consideration payments are classified as liabilities, which were measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, with $5.0 million classified as current liabilities and $1.055 billion classified as non-current liabilities. We estimated the fair value of potential contingent consideration using a probability-weighted income approach, which reflects the probability and timing of future potential payments. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a level three liability within the fair value hierarchy. The resulting probability-weighted cash flows were discounted using a discount rate based on a market participant assumption. See Note 4 for post-acquisition changes in fair value. The purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired at the acquisition date based on their respective fair values:

The fair value of the acquired IPR&D asset was based on the present value of expected net cash flows from the GED-0301 product candidate. Net cash flows were determined by estimating future sales, net of the costs to complete development of GED-0301 into a commercially viable product. Estimated net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the probability of successfully developing a new drug from a product candidate that has completed a phase II trial. Additionally, the projections considered the relevant market sizes and growth factors and the nature and expected timing of a new product introduction. The resulting net cash flows from such potential products include our estimates of cost of sales, operating expenses, and income taxes. The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value were commensurate with the stage of development of the project and uncertainties in the economic estimates used in the projections described above. The acquired IPR&D asset is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval in a major market or discontinuation.

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition is largely attributable to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. We expect this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

The license agreement may be terminated (i) at our discretion upon 180 days’ written notice to Nogra, provided that such termination will not become effective before May 14, 2017, and (ii) by either party upon material breach of the other party, subject to cure periods. Upon the expiration of our royalty payment obligations under the license agreement, on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis, the license granted under the license agreement will become fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, and non-terminable with respect to such licensed product in such country.
