Collaboration and License Agreements
Collaboration and License Agreements	C.Collaboration and License Agreements The Company has numerous collaboration and license agreements with third parties. These agreements typically provide the licensee with rights to use the Company’s ADC platform technology with the licensee’s antibodies or related targeting vehicles to a defined target to develop products. The licensee is generally responsible for the development, clinical testing, manufacturing, registration, and commercialization of any resulting product candidate. As part of these agreements, the Company is generally entitled to receive upfront fees, potential milestone payments, royalties on the sales of any resulting products, and research and development funding based on activities performed at our collaborative partner’s request. See below for details regarding the Company’s collaboration and license agreements with activity in the financial statement periods presented. Vertex In February 2023, the Company entered into a multi-target license and option agreement with Vertex, pursuant to which the Company granted Vertex rights to the Company’s ADC technology to research and evaluate ADCs directed to specified targets, with an option to obtain worldwide exclusive development and commercialization licenses to a specified number of targets (each, an Option and, collectively, the Options) before the end of the research term. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $15.0 million, reflecting the initial research targets selected by Vertex. During the research term, Vertex also has the right to select additional research targets in exchange for an additional license fee per target. In addition, upon exercise of each Option by Vertex, the Company will be eligible to receive up to approximately $337.0 million per target in potential option exercise fees and milestone payments based on the achievement of pre-specified development, regulatory, and sales-based milestones. With respect to each target that Vertex exercises an Option, the Company will also be eligible to receive tiered royalties, on a product-by-product basis, as a percentage of worldwide annual net sales by Vertex, its affiliates and sublicensees, based on certain net sales thresholds. Vertex is responsible for all costs related to the research and development of the compounds during the research term and commercialization of any ensuing products. The Company evaluated the agreement and determined it was within the scope of ASC 606. The Company determined the promised goods and services included a license to use the Company’s intellectual property and know-how to research, manufacture, and evaluate products related to each of the initial research targets selected by Vertex during the research term. The Company determined that the agreement has a single performance obligation for these promised goods and services. The Options to obtain exclusive development and commercialization licenses and the right to select additional research targets during the research term do not represent a material right as the fees associated with each option are at or above the standalone selling price. Accordingly, upon exercise, these Options will be accounted for as a separate arrangement. The transaction price related to the single performance obligation was determined to consist of the upfront payment of $15.0 million. The transfer of intellectual property and know-how to Vertex to allow Vertex to derive benefit from the license over the research term was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As such, the Company’s performance obligation was satisfied, and the Company recognized $15.0 million of license and milestone fee revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Lilly In February 2022, the Company entered into a license agreement with Lilly, pursuant to which the Company granted Lilly worldwide exclusive rights to research, develop, and commercialize antibody-drug conjugates based on the Company’s novel camptothecin technology. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $13.0 million, reflecting initial targets selected by Lilly. During 2022, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Lilly selected additional targets for which the Company received an additional $13.0 million in non-refundable payments. Lilly may select a pre-specified number of additional targets, with the Company eligible to receive an additional $19.5 million in exercise fees if Lilly licenses the full number of remaining additional targets over a specified period following the effective date of the license agreement, with the potential for up to $1.7 billion in development and sales-based milestone payments if all targets are selected and all milestones are realized. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive tiered royalties, on a product-by-product basis, as a percentage of worldwide annual net sales by Lilly, based on certain net sales thresholds. Lilly is responsible for all costs associated with the research, development, and commercialization of any ensuing products. The transfer of intellectual property and know-how to Lilly to allow for Lilly to derive benefit from the initial and additional target licenses was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As such, during 2022 the Company recognized $18.4 million of license and milestone fee revenue related to the portion of the transaction price allocated to the initial and additional target licenses, of which $9.2 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $7.6 million allocated to the material rights to obtain licenses to replacement targets is included in long-term deferred revenue as of June 30, 2023 and will be recognized when the right is either exercised or expires. Huadong In October 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Huadong. The collaboration and license agreement grants Huadong an exclusive, royalty-bearing, and sublicensable right to develop and commercialize ELAHERE (the Licensed Product) in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (collectively, Greater China). The Company retains exclusive rights to the Licensed Product outside of Greater China. Under the terms of the collaboration and license agreement, the Company received a non-refundable upfront payment of $40.0 million with the potential for approximately $265.0 million in development, regulatory, and sales-based milestone payments. In addition, the Company is entitled to receive tiered royalties ranging from low double digits to high teens as a percentage of commercial sales of the licensed product, if approved, by Huadong in Greater China, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances. To date, the Company has received $15.0 million in milestone payments. The Company determined that revenue related to the agreement would be recognized as the clinical supply of the Licensed Product is delivered to Huadong, estimated to be completed over approximately two years. Accordingly, based on clinical supply delivered to Huadong during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded the remaining $28.5 million of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 related to $45.0 million of upfront and development milestone payments previously received. Roche In 2000, the Company granted Genentech, now a unit of Roche, an exclusive development and commercialization license to use the Company’s maytansinoid ADC technology. Pursuant to this agreement, Roche developed and received marketing approval for its HER2-targeting ADC, KADCYLA, in the U.S., Japan, the European Union, and numerous other countries. In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, $10.6 million and $13.5 million of non-cash royalties on net sales of KADCYLA were recognized and included in non-cash royalty revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company sold its rights to receive royalty payments on the net sales of KADCYLA through two separate transactions in 2015 and 2019. Following the 2019 transaction, OMERS, the defined benefit pension plan for municipal employees in the Province of Ontario, Canada, is entitled to receive all of these royalties.
