Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions We engage in various forms of business development activities to enhance or refine our product pipeline, including acquisitions, collaborations, investments, and licensing arrangements. In connection with these arrangements, our partners may be entitled to future royalties and/or commercial milestones based on sales should products be approved for commercialization and/or milestones based on the successful progress of compounds through the development process. In December 2023, December 2022, and January 2021, we completed the acquisitions of POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (POINT), Akouos, Inc. (Akouos), and Prevail Therapeutics Inc. (Prevail), respectively. These transactions, as further discussed below in Acquisitions of Businesses, were accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date in our consolidated financial statements. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets, where applicable, has been recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. We also acquired assets in development in 2023, 2022, and 2021, which are further discussed below in Asset Acquisitions. Upon each acquisition, the cost allocated to acquired IPR&D was immediately expensed as acquired IPR&D if the compound has no alternative future use. Milestone payment obligations incurred prior to regulatory approval of the compound are expensed when the event triggering an obligation to pay the milestone occurs. We recognized acquired IPR&D charges of $3.80 billion, $908.5 million, and $970.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Acquisitions of Businesses POINT Acquisition Overview of Transaction In December 2023, we acquired all shares of POINT for a purchase price of $12.50 per share in cash (or an aggregate of $1.04 billion, net of cash acquired). Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired capabilities to advance our radiopharmaceutical discovery, development, and manufacturing efforts, as well as clinical and pre-clinical radioligand therapies in development for the treatment of cancer. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Our access to POINT information was limited prior to the acquisition. As a consequence, we are in the process of determining fair values and tax bases of a significant portion of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets and tax exposures. The final determination of these amounts will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability fair values and tax bases that differ from the preliminary estimates and require changes to the preliminary amounts recognized. The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
Estimated Fair Value at December 27, 2023 |
Cash | $ | 302.7 |
Acquired IPR&D | 196.0
Goodwill(1) | 859.1
Other assets and liabilities, net | (19.3) |
Acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred | 1,338.5 |
Less: |
Cash acquired | (302.7) |
Cash paid, net of cash acquired | $ | 1,035.8 |
(1) The goodwill recognized from this acquisition is attributable primarily to the radiopharmaceutical discovery, development, and manufacturing capabilities and the assembled workforce for POINT, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations attributable to POINT for the year ended December 31, 2023 were immaterial. Pro forma information has not been included as this acquisition did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Akouos Acquisition Overview of Transaction In December 2022, we acquired all shares of Akouos for a purchase price that included $12.50 per share in cash (or an aggregate of $327.2 million, net of cash acquired) plus one non-tradable contingent value right (CVR) per share. The CVR entitles the Akouos shareholders up to an additional $3.00 per share in cash (or an aggregate of approximately $122 million) payable, subject to certain terms and conditions, upon the achievement of certain specified milestones prior to December 2028. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired potential gene therapy treatments for hearing loss and other inner ear conditions. The lead gene therapies in clinical development that we acquired included GJB2 (which encodes connexin 26) for a common form of monogenic deafness and hearing loss; AK-OTOF for hearing loss due to mutations in the otoferlin gene; AK-CLRN1 for Usher Type 3A, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive loss of both hearing and vision; and AK-antiVEGF for vestibular schwannoma. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The following table summarizes the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
Estimated Fair Value at December 1, 2022 |
Cash | $ | 153.2 |
Acquired IPR&D(1) | 184.0
Goodwill(2) | 185.6
Other assets and liabilities, net | 24.5 |
Acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred | 547.3
Less: |
Cash acquired | (153.2) |
Fair value of CVR liability(3) | (66.9) |
Cash paid, net of cash acquired | $ | 327.2 |
(1) Acquired IPR&D intangibles primarily relate to GJB2. (2) The goodwill recognized from this acquisition is attributable primarily to future unidentified projects and products and the assembled workforce for Akouos and is not deductible for tax purposes. (3) See Note 7 for a discussion on the estimation of the CVR liability. The results of operations attributable to Akouos for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were immaterial. Pro forma information has not been included as this acquisition did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Prevail Acquisition Overview of Transaction In January 2021, we acquired all shares of Prevail for a purchase price that included $22.50 per share in cash (or an aggregate of $747.4 million, net of cash acquired) plus one non-tradable CVR per share. The CVR entitles Prevail stockholders up to an additional $4.00 per share in cash (or an aggregate of approximately $160 million) payable, subject to certain terms and conditions, upon the first regulatory approval of a Prevail product in one of the following countries: U.S., Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, or Spain. To achieve the full value of the CVR, such regulatory approval must occur by December 31, 2024. If such regulatory approval occurs after December 31, 2024, the value of the CVR will be reduced by approximately 8.3 cents per month until December 1, 2028, at which point the CVR will expire without payment. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired potentially disease-modifying AAV9-based gene therapies for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. The acquisition established a new modality for drug discovery and development, extending our research efforts through the creation of a gene therapy program that is being anchored by Prevail's portfolio of assets. The lead gene therapies in clinical development that we acquired were PR001 (GBA1 Gene Therapy) for patients with Parkinson's disease with GBA1 mutations and neuronopathic Gaucher disease and PR006 for patients with frontotemporal dementia with GRN mutations. Both PR001 and PR006 were granted Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The following table summarizes the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
Estimated Fair Value at January 22, 2021 |
Cash | $ | 90.5 |
Acquired IPR&D(1) | 824.0
Goodwill(2) | 126.8
Deferred tax liabilities | (106.0) |
Other assets and liabilities, net | (31.5) |
Acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred | 903.8
Less: |
Cash acquired | (90.5) |
Fair value of CVR liability(3) | (65.9) |
Cash paid, net of cash acquired | $ | 747.4 |
(1) Acquired IPR&D intangibles primarily relate to PR001 (GBA1 Gene Therapy). In 2022, we impaired the intangible asset related to GBA1 Gene Therapy. See Note 5 for additional information. (2) The goodwill recognized from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. (3) See Note 7 for a discussion on the estimation of the CVR liability. The results of operations attributable to Prevail for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were immaterial. Pro forma information has not been included as this acquisition did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Asset Acquisitions The following table summarizes our significant asset acquisitions during 2023, 2022, and 2021.

(1) The phase of development presented is as of the date of the arrangement and represents the phase of development of the most advanced asset acquired, where applicable. In connection with our acquisition of Petra Pharma Corporation (Petra) in 2020, we were required to make milestone payments to Petra shareholders contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the mutant-selective PI3K α inhibitor. In 2022, we entered into agreements with substantially all Petra shareholders to acquire their rights to receive any future milestone payments in exchange for a one-time payment. As a result of these agreements, we recognized a charge of $333.8 million as acquired IPR&D in 2022. Any remaining contingent milestones payments linked to the success of the mutant-selective PI3Kα inhibitor are not expected to be material. We recognized no other significant acquired IPR&D charges during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
