Collaborative and Other Arrangements [Abstract] |
Collaborative and Other Arrangements [Text Block] | COLLABORATIVE AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS We enter into collaborations and other similar arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products and product candidates. These arrangements may include non-refundable up-front payments, payments by us for options to acquire certain rights, contingent obligations by us for potential development and regulatory milestone payments and/or sales-based milestone payments, royalty payments, revenue or profit sharing arrangements, cost sharing arrangements and equity investments. Galapagos In 2016, we closed a license and collaboration agreement with Galapagos, a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in Belgium, for the development and commercialization of filgotinib, a JAK1-selective inhibitor being evaluated for inflammatory disease indications (the filgotinib agreement). Upon closing, we made an up-front license fee payment and an equity investment in Galapagos by subscribing for 6.8 million new ordinary shares of Galapagos at a price of €58 per share. The equity investment, net of issuance premium, was $357 million. In August 2019, we closed an Option, License and Collaboration Agreement (the Collaboration Agreement) and a Subscription Agreement (the Subscription Agreement), each with Galapagos, pursuant to which the parties entered into a global collaboration that covers Galapagos’ current and future product portfolio (other than filgotinib). Upon closing, we paid $5.05 billion for the license and option rights and 6.8 million new ordinary shares of Galapagos at a subscription price of €140.59 per share. As a result, combined with our existing share holdings, we owned 13.6 million ordinary shares of Galapagos, representing approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of Galapagos at the closing of the Collaboration Agreement and Subscription Agreement. The parties also agreed to amend certain terms relating to the development and commercialization of filgotinib pursuant to the filgotinib agreement. We have elected the fair value option to account for our equity investment in Galapagos whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings in each reporting period based on the market price of Galapagos shares. We believe the fair value option best reflects the underlying economics of the investment. The $1.13 billion equity investment, which included an issuance discount of $63 million calculated based on Galapagos’ closing stock price on the date of closing of the Subscription Agreement and the subscription price of €140.59 per share, and our existing equity investment in Galapagos was recorded in Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as our equity investment in Galapagos is subject to contractual lock-up provisions for a period up to 5 years as described below. The remaining $3.92 billion of the payment was recorded within Research and development expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Key terms of the agreements Under the Collaboration Agreement, we have an exclusive license for the development and commercialization of GLPG-1690, a Phase 3 candidate for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in our territories and have an option to participate in the development and commercialization of GLPG-1972, a Phase 2b candidate for osteoarthritis, and Galapagos’ other current and future clinical programs that have entered clinical development during the first ten years of the collaboration, subject to extension in certain circumstances. We may exercise our option for a program after the receipt of a data package from a completed, qualifying Phase 2 study for such program (or, in certain circumstances, the first Phase 3 study). If GLPG-1690 receives marketing approval in the United States, we will pay Galapagos $325 million as well as tiered royalties described below. If we exercise our option to the GLPG-1972 program, we will pay a $250 million option exercise fee and Galapagos would be eligible to receive up to $750 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestones as well as tiered royalties described below. With respect to all other programs in Galapagos’ current and future pipeline, if we exercise our option to a program, we will pay a $150 million option exercise fee per program. In addition, Galapagos will receive tiered royalties ranging from 20% to 24% on net sales in our territories of each Galapagos product optioned by us (including GLPG-1690 and GLPG-1972). If we exercise our option for a program, the parties will share equally in development costs and mutually agreed commercialization costs incurred subsequent to our exercise of the option. Galapagos retains exclusive commercialization rights for the optioned programs in the European Union (including the UK whether or not it leaves the European Union), Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Switzerland, and we have exclusive commercialization rights for all other countries globally, except for GLPG-1972 where we will only acquire the U.S. rights. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and upon Galapagos’ shareholders’ approval in October, we were issued warrants that confer the right to subscribe for a number of new shares to be issued by Galapagos sufficient to bring the number of shares owned by us to 29.9% of the issued and outstanding shares at the time of our exercises. On October 31, 2019, we delivered a warrant exercise notice to subscribe for 2.6 million ordinary shares of Galapagos at €140.59 per share for an aggregate exercise price of €368 million, which will bring the number of shares owned by us to 16.2 million or approximately 25.1% of the shares expected to be issued and outstanding immediately following our exercise. We are subject to a 10-year standstill restricting our ability to acquire voting securities of Galapagos exceeding more than 29.9% of the then issued and outstanding voting securities of Galapagos. We agreed not to, without the prior consent of Galapagos, dispose of any equity securities of Galapagos prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the Subscription Agreement or dispose of any equity securities of Galapagos thereafter until the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Subscription Agreement, if after such disposal we would own less than 20.1% of the then issued and outstanding voting securities of Galapagos, subject to certain exceptions and termination events. We have two designees appointed to Galapagos’ board of directors. Under the terms of the filgotinib agreement, as amended, we have an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, sublicensable license for filgotinib and products containing filgotinib. Galapagos is eligible to receive from us development and regulatory milestone-based payments of up to $755 million, sales-based milestone payments of up to $600 million, plus tiered royalties on global net sales ranging from 20% to 30%, with the exception of certain co-commercialization territories where profits would be shared equally. The co-commercialization territories are the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. We share future global development costs for filgotinib equally. For the periods presented, the payments between Galapagos and us for the development costs were not material. Termination of the agreement may be on a country-by-country basis and will depend on the circumstances, including expiration of royalty term or in the co-commercialization territories, sale of a generic product, or material breach by either party. We may also terminate the entire agreement without cause following a certain period. Other Collaboration Arrangements During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we entered into several collaborative and other similar arrangements, including equity investments and licensing arrangements, that we do not consider to be individually material. Cash outflows related to these arrangements totaled $54 million and $447 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $29 million and $333 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We recorded up-front collaboration and licensing expenses related to these arrangements of $40 million and $331 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0 million and $160 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, within Research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the remaining amounts were recorded in Prepaid and other current assets and Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the financial terms of these arrangements, we may be required to make payments upon achievement of various developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones, which could be significant. Future milestone payments, if any, will be reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the corresponding events become probable. In addition, we may be required to pay significant royalties on future sales if products related to these arrangements are commercialized. The payment of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events, which have a high degree of uncertainty of occurrence.
