Investments in Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Our consolidated financial statements include the financial results of variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. The following are our significant variable interest entities.
Neurimmune SubOne AG
Beginning in 2007 we consolidated the results of Neurimmune as we determined we were the primary beneficiary because we had the power through the collaboration to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the entity's economic performance and we were required to fund 100.0% of the research and development costs incurred in support of the collaboration. The collaboration and license agreement with Neurimmune was for the development and commercialization of antibodies for the potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease, including ADUHELM (as amended, the Neurimmune Agreement).
In November 2023 we notified Neurimmune of our decision to terminate the Neurimmune Agreement. Subsequent to the termination, we reconsidered our relationship with Neurimmune and determined that we were no longer the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. As a result, we recorded a net gain on the deconsolidation of Neurimmune of approximately $3.0 million, which was recorded in other (income) expense, net within our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Research and development costs for which we reimbursed Neurimmune were reflected in research and development expense in our consolidated statements of income. For the year ended December 31, 2023, amounts reimbursed were immaterial.
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
We have relationships with various variable interest entities that we do not consolidate as we lack the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic success of these entities. These relationships include investments in certain biotechnology companies and research collaboration agreements.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying value of our investments in certain biotechnology companies representing potential unconsolidated variable interest entities totaled $49.8 million and $23.6 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to convertible note investments entered into during 2025, including a $30.0 million convertible note invested in City Therapeutics as part of our strategic research arrangement and a $5.0 million convertible note invested in Neela Therapeutics, Inc. For additional information on our arrangement with City Therapeutics, please read Note 19, Collaborative and Other Relationships, to these consolidated financial statements. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these variable interest entities is limited to the carrying value of our investments.
We have also entered into research collaboration agreements with certain variable interest entities where we are required to fund certain development activities. These development activities are included in research and
development expense in our consolidated statements of income as they are incurred. We have provided no financing to these variable interest entities other than previous contractually required amounts.
