We have certain business and financial rights with respect to RITUXAN for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, CLL and other conditions; RITUXAN HYCELA for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and CLL; GAZYVA for the treatment of CLL and follicular lymphoma; OCREVUS for the treatment of PPMS and RMS; LUNSUMIO for the treatment of relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma; COLUMVI, a bispecific antibody for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and have the option to add other potential anti-CD20 therapies, pursuant to our collaboration arrangements with Genentech, a wholly-owned member of the Roche Group. For purposes of this footnote, we refer to RITUXAN and RITUXAN HYCELA collectively as RITUXAN.

The Roche Group and its sub-licensees maintain sole responsibility for the development, manufacture and commercialization of GAZYVA in the U.S. The level of gross sales of GAZYVA in the U.S. has impacted our percentage of the co-promotion profits for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO, as summarized in the table below.

Pursuant to the terms of our collaboration arrangements with Genentech, we receive a tiered royalty on U.S. net sales from 13.5% and increasing up to 24.0% if annual net sales exceed $900.0 million. There will be a 50.0% reduction to these royalties upon the first entry of an FDA approved biosimilar to OCREVUS.

The commercialization of OCREVUS does not impact the percentage of the co-promotion profits we receive for RITUXAN, LUNSUMIO or GAZYVA. Genentech is solely responsible for development and commercialization of OCREVUS and funding future costs. Genentech cannot develop OCREVUS in CLL, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or rheumatoid arthritis.

OCREVUS royalty revenue is based on our estimates from third party and market research data of OCREVUS sales occurring during the corresponding period. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenue will be adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which is generally expected to be the following quarter.

Genentech has sole decision-making rights on the commercialization of COLUMVI within the U.S. and we receive tiered royalties in the mid-single digit range on net sales of COLUMVI in the U.S. Under the terms of this agreement, we have no payment obligations. The commercialization of COLUMVI does not impact the percentage of the co-promotion profits we receive for RITUXAN, LUNSUMIO or GAZYVA.

Our current pretax co-promotion profit-sharing formula for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO in the U.S. provides for a 30.0% share on the first $50.0 million of combined co-promotion operating profits earned each calendar year. As a result of the FDA approval of LUNSUMIO our share of the combined annual co-promotion profits for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO in excess of $50.0 million varies upon the following events, as summarized in the table below:

First Threshold Date means the earlier of (i) the first day of the calendar quarter following the date U.S. gross sales of GAZYVA within any consecutive 12-month period have reached $500.0 million or (ii) the first date in any calendar year in which U.S. gross sales of LUNSUMIO have reached $150.0 million.

Second Threshold Date means the later of (i) the first date in any calendar year in which U.S. gross sales of LUNSUMIO have reached $350.0 million or (ii) January 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the First Threshold Date occurs.

Our current pretax profit-sharing formula for GAZYVA provides for a 35.0% share on the first $50.0 million of operating profits earned each calendar year. Our share of annual co-promotion profits in excess of $50.0 million varies upon the following events, as summarized in the table below:

Second GAZYVA Threshold Date means the first day of the calendar quarter following the date U.S. gross sales of GAZYVA within any consecutive 12-month period have reached $500.0 million. The Second GAZYVA Threshold Date can be achieved regardless of whether GAZYVA has been approved in a non-CLL indication.

Eisai serves as the lead of LEQEMBI development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product, and Eisai having final decision-making authority. All costs, including research, development, sales and marketing expense, are shared equally between us and Eisai. We and Eisai co-promote LEQEMBI and share profits and losses equally. We currently have a supply agreement with Eisai to manufacture LEQEMBI drug substance and drug product through the end of 2031.

In July 2023 the FDA granted traditional approval of LEQEMBI. Prior to receiving traditional approval, LEQEMBI had been granted accelerated approval by the FDA in January 2023, at which time it became commercially available in the U.S. Outside of the U.S., LEQEMBI is now approved in the E.U. (April 2025), China (January 2024), Japan (September 2023) and other international markets. Additionally, in January 2025 the FDA approved LEQEMBI monthly IV maintenance dosing for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease.

Upon commercialization of LEQEMBI in the U.S., we began recognizing our 50.0% share of LEQEMBI product revenue, net and cost of sales, including royalties, within Alzheimer's collaboration revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income, as we are not the principal.

Our share of LEQEMBI sales and marketing expense and development expense are recorded within selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense, respectively, within our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Amounts receivable from Eisai related to the agreements discussed above were approximately $115.5 million and $16.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amounts payable to Eisai related to the agreements discussed above were approximately $122.6 million and $138.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

We have a collaboration agreement with UCB, effective November 2003, to jointly develop and commercialize dapirolizumab pegol, an anti-CD40L pegylated Fab, for the potential treatment of SLE and other future agreed indications. Either we or UCB may propose development of dapirolizumab pegol in additional indications. If the parties do not agree to add an indication as an agreed indication to the collaboration, we or UCB may, at the sole expense of the applicable party, pursue development in such excluded indication(s), subject to an opt-in right of the non-pursuing party after proof of clinical activity.

All costs incurred for agreed indications, including research, development, sales and marketing expense, are shared equally between us and UCB. If marketing approval is obtained, both companies will jointly commercialize dapirolizumab pegol and share profits and losses equally.

In November 2020 we entered into a global collaboration and license agreement with Sage to jointly develop and commercialize ZURZUVAE (zuranolone) for the treatment of PPD and potential treatment of MDD and BIIB124 (SAGE-324) for the potential treatment of essential tremor with potential in other neurological conditions such as epilepsy. In July 2024 we and Sage announced that the Phase 2 KINETIC 2 dose-range study of BIIB124 did not meet its endpoints. Based on these results, we discontinued our further development of BIIB124 and terminated our rights under the collaboration and license agreement specific to BIIB124, effective February 17, 2025.

In August 2023 the FDA approved ZURZUVAE for adults with PPD, pending DEA scheduling, which was completed in October 2023. Upon approval, ZURZUVAE became the first and only oral, once-daily, 14-day treatment that can provide rapid improvements in depressive symptoms by day 15 for women with PPD. ZURZUVAE for PPD became commercially available in the U.S. during the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, the FDA issued a CRL for the NDA for zuranolone in the treatment of adults with MDD. In October 2024 we and Sage agreed to not pursue further development of zuranolone for the potential treatment of MDD. This decision was based on the significant new investment and time we expect would be needed to conduct the additional studies required to support approval of this indication.

Under this collaboration, both companies will share equal responsibility and costs for development as well as profits and losses for commercialization in the U.S. Outside of the U.S., we are responsible for development and commercialization, excluding Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, with respect to zuranolone and may pay Sage potential tiered royalties in the high teens to low twenties. During the fourth quarter of 2023 we accrued a milestone payment due to Sage of $75.0 million upon the first commercial sale of ZURZUVAE for PPD in the U.S., which was recorded within intangible assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and subsequently paid in January 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net profit-sharing expense of approximately $10.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, to reflect Sage's 50.0% share of net collaboration results in the U.S., which are recognized in collaboration profit sharing/(loss reimbursement) in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

In February 2025 we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Stoke to co-develop and commercialize zorevunersen, an investigational ASO that targets the SCN1A gene for the potential treatment of Dravet syndrome, a rare form of genetic epilepsy associated with refractory seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments.

Under the terms of this agreement, Stoke will continue to lead global development and retain exclusive development and commercialization rights for zorevunersen in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and we will have exclusive rights to commercialize zorevunersen in the rest of the world. Both companies will share responsibility for external clinical development costs, where Stoke is responsible for 70.0% of these development costs and we are responsible for the remaining 30.0% of these development costs.

In connection with the closing of this transaction we made an upfront payment of $165.0 million to Stoke, which was recognized as acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We may also pay Stoke development and commercial milestone payments that could total up to approximately $50.0 million and $335.0 million, respectively, if all the specified milestones set forth in this collaboration are achieved. In addition, we may pay Stoke tiered royalties on potential net sales of any products developed under this collaboration in the low double-digit to high teen percentages.

We also have an exclusive option to license certain future follow-on ASO products targeting the SCN1A gene in all territories worldwide other than the U.S., Canada and Mexico, in exchange for separate milestone, cost sharing and royalty considerations.

In February 2025 we entered into a funding agreement with Royalty Pharma under which we will receive up to $200.0 million in 2025 and up to $50.0 million in 2026 to co-fund our development costs for the litifilimab program. As there is a substantive transfer of risk to the financial partner for the amount invested, the development funding will be recognized by us as an obligation to perform contractual services. We plan to recognize this funding as a reduction to research and development expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income, proportionate to the related expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a $50.0 million reduction to research and development expense within our condensed consolidated statements of income.

If the litifilimab clinical trials are successful for the indications based on the applicable clinical trials, upon regulatory approval in the U.S. or certain major markets in the world, Royalty Pharma will be eligible to receive approval-based fixed milestone payments of up to a total of $250.0 million. The milestone payments due upon approval will be recorded as a component of other (income) expense, net within our condensed consolidated statements of income, when incurred.

If litifilimab receives regulatory approval, Royalty Pharma will be eligible to royalties of a mid-single digits percentage of the applicable net sales. Royalties on net sales will be recorded as cost of sales within our condensed consolidated statements of income.

As part of our acquisition of HI-Bio, we acquired HI-Bio's pre-existing in-license commitments under third-party agreements with MorphoSys, which include tiered royalties on potential future sales of felzartamab and izastobart/HIB210, ranging from high-single digit to mid-teen percentages, as well as potential development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments related to felzartamab and izastobart/HIB210 of up to $130.0 million, $230.0 million and $640.0 million, respectively. This amount includes milestone payments due upon the first patient dosed in a Phase 3 clinical trial of felzartamab in a first and second indication of $35.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2025 we accrued a milestone payment due to MorphoSys of $35.0 million upon the first patient dosed in a Phase 3 clinical trial of felzartamab for the treatment of AMR, which was recorded within acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and subsequently paid in April 2025.

In December 2019 we completed a transaction with Samsung Bioepis and secured the exclusive rights to commercialize two potential ophthalmology biosimilar products, BYOOVIZ, a ranibizumab biosimilar referencing LUCENTIS, and OPUVIZ, an aflibercept biosimilar referencing EYLEA, in major markets worldwide, including the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia. The agreement established that Samsung Bioepis will be responsible for development and will supply both products to us at a pre-specified gross margin of approximately 45.0%.

In October 2024 we notified Samsung Bioepis of our decision to terminate our 2019 Development and Commercialization Agreement (the DCA Agreement) solely within the U.S. and Canada. As a result of this termination we recognized impairment charges of approximately $20.2 million, which were recorded within amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets within our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our 2024 Form 10-K. Biogen will transfer commercialization rights for BYOOVIZ and OPUVIZ in the U.S. and Canada back to Samsung Bioepis over a period of up to 18 months. During this transition period, we will continue to commercialize BYOOVIZ. The termination does not impact the other markets in the DCA Agreement.

In the fourth quarter of 2024 we made a milestone payment of $15.0 million to Samsung Bioepis related to the approval of OPUVIZ in the E.U., which was recorded within intangible assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We may also pay Samsung Bioepis up to approximately $150.0 million in additional sales-based milestones associated with the remaining major markets covered by the agreement.

In December 2013 we entered into an agreement with Samsung Bioepis to commercialize, over a 10-year term, three anti-TNF biosimilar product candidates which includes IMRALDI, an adalimumab biosimilar referencing HUMIRA, FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE, and BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL, in Europe.

In July 2024 we exercised an option to extend this agreement by an additional five years, and paid Samsung Bioepis an option exercise fee of $60.0 million, which was recognized in intangible assets, net within our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.

We reflect revenue on sales of BENEPALI, IMRALDI and FLIXABI to third parties in product revenue, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income and record the related cost of revenue and sales and marketing expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income to their respective line items when these costs are incurred. Royalty payments to AbbVie on sales of IMRALDI are recognized in cost of sales within our condensed consolidated statements of income.

We share 50.0% of the profit or loss related to our 2013 commercial agreement with Samsung Bioepis, which is recognized in collaboration profit sharing/(loss reimbursement) in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized net profit-sharing expense of approximately $48.0 million and $60.6 million, respectively, to reflect Samsung Bioepis' 50.0% sharing of the net collaboration profits.

Simultaneous with the formation of Samsung Bioepis, we also entered into a license agreement with Samsung Bioepis. Under this license agreement, we granted Samsung Bioepis an exclusive license to use, develop, manufacture and commercialize biosimilar products created by Samsung Bioepis using Biogen product-specific technology. In exchange, we receive single-digit royalties on biosimilar products developed and commercialized by Samsung Bioepis. Royalty revenue under the license agreement is recognized as a component of contract manufacturing, royalty and other revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Amounts receivable from Samsung Bioepis related to the agreements discussed above were approximately $3.9 million and $7.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amounts payable to Samsung Bioepis related to the agreements discussed above were approximately $72.9 million and $60.8 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
