Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Intangible Assets and Goodwill | Intangible Assets and Goodwill Intangible Assets Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, impairment charges and adjustments, are summarized as follows:
|  |  | As of June 30, 2014 |  | As of December 31, 2013
(In millions) | Estimated Life |  | Cost |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net |  | Cost |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net
Out-licensed patents | 13-23 years |  | $ | 543.3 |  |  | $ | (465.9 | ) |  | $ | 77.4 |  |  | $ | 578.0 |  |  | $ | (450.8 | ) |  | $ | 127.2 |
Developed technology | 15-23 years |  | 3,005.3 |  |  | (2,283.7 | ) |  | 721.6 |  |  | 3,005.3 |  |  | (2,165.4 | ) |  | 839.9 |
In-process research and development | Indefinite until commercialization |  | 330.9 |  |  | — |  |  | 330.9 |  |  | 327.4 |  |  | — |  |  | 327.4 |
Trademarks and tradenames | Indefinite |  | 64.0 |  |  | — |  |  | 64.0 |  |  | 64.0 |  |  | — |  |  | 64.0 |
Acquired and in-licensed rights and patents | 6-17 years |  | 3,271.5 |  |  | (216.0 | ) |  | 3,055.5 |  |  | 3,240.0 |  |  | (123.8 | ) |  | 3,116.2 |
Total intangible assets |  |  | $ | 7,215.0 |  |  | $ | (2,965.6 | ) |  | $ | 4,249.4 |  |  | $ | 7,214.7 |  |  | $ | (2,740.0 | ) |  | $ | 4,474.7 |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled $116.8 million and $260.1 million, respectively, as compared to $82.2 million and $133.5 million, respectively, in the prior year comparative periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, the change in amortization of acquired intangible assets was primarily driven by our acquisition of the TYSABRI rights from Elan Pharma International Ltd. (Elan) and an increase in the amount of amortization recorded in relation to our AVONEX intangible asset. Out-licensed Patents Out-licensed patents to third-parties primarily relate to patents acquired in connection with the merger of Biogen, Inc. and IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation in 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a charge of $34.7 million related to the impairment of one of our out-licensed patents to reflect a change in its estimated fair value, due to a change in the underlying competitive market for that product, which occurred during the first quarter of 2014. The charge is included in amortization of acquired intangibles. The fair value of the intangible asset was based on discounted cash flow calculated using Level 3 fair value measurements and inputs including estimated revenues. Developed Technology Developed technology primarily relates to our AVONEX product, which was recorded in connection with the merger of Biogen, Inc. and IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation in 2003. The net book value of this asset as of June 30, 2014 was $711.9 million. We amortize this intangible asset using the economic consumption method based on actual and expected revenues generated from the sales of our AVONEX product. Acquired and In-licensed Rights and Patents Acquired and in-licensed rights and patents primarily relate to our acquisition of the TYSABRI rights from Elan. The net intangible asset capitalized related to this acquisition was $3,178.3 million. In the second quarter of 2013, we began amortizing this intangible asset over the estimated useful life using an economic consumption method based on actual and expected revenues generated from the sales of our TYSABRI product. The net book value of this asset as of June 30, 2014 was $2,995.1 million. For a more detailed description of this transaction, please read Note 2, Acquisitions to our consolidated financial statements included within our 2013 Form 10-K. The increase in acquired and in-licensed rights and patents during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily related to the $20.0 million contingent payment due to the former owners of Syntonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which became payable upon the approval of ALPROLIX in the U.S. by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first quarter of 2014. We have recorded an additional $7.8 million of acquired in-licensed rights and patents related to this consideration, along with a corresponding deferred tax liability of the same amount. Estimated Future Amortization of Intangible Assets Our amortization expense is based on the economic consumption of the intangible assets. Our most significant intangible assets are related to our AVONEX and TYSABRI products. Annually, during our long-range planning cycle, we perform an analysis of anticipated lifetime revenues of AVONEX and TYSABRI. This analysis is updated whenever events or changes in circumstances would significantly affect the anticipated lifetime revenues of either product. Our most recent long range planning cycle was updated in the third quarter of 2013, and included the impact of our acquisition of TYSABRI rights from Elan and a decrease in the expected future product revenues of AVONEX, resulting in an increase in amortization expense as compared to prior quarters. The results of our analysis were impacted by changes in the estimated impact of TECFIDERA, as well as other existing and potential oral and alternative MS formulations, including PLEGRIDY, that may compete with AVONEX and TYSABRI. Based upon this recent analysis, the estimated future amortization for acquired intangible assets for the balance of 2014 and the next five years is expected to be as follows:
(In millions) | As of June 30, 2014
2014 (remaining six months) | $ | 217.2 |
2015 | 333.4 |
2016 | 318.8 |
2017 | 322.0 |
2018 | 323.1 |
2019 | 302.9 |
Total | $ | 1,817.4 |
Goodwill The following table provides a roll forward of the changes in our goodwill balance:
(In millions) | As of June 30, 2014 |  | As of December 31, 2013
Goodwill, beginning of period | $ | 1,232.9 |  |  | $ | 1,201.3 |
Increase to goodwill | 131.9 |  |  | 35.7 |
Other | — |  |  | (4.1 | )
Goodwill, end of period | $ | 1,364.8 |  |  | $ | 1,232.9 |
The increase in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was related to the accrual of a $150.0 million contingent payment (exclusive of an $18.1 million tax benefit) to be made to former shareholders of Fumapharm AG and holders of their rights. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we reached the $2.0 billion cumulative sales level related to the Fumapharm Products. For additional information related to future contingent payments, please read Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies to these condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2014, we had no accumulated impairment losses related to goodwill.
