Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Intangible assets and goodwill | 12. Intangible assets and goodwill Definite-lived intangibles On April 20, 2017, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of all rights to Emflaza pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 15, 2017, and amended on April 20, 2017, by and between the Company and Marathon. The assets acquired by the Company in the transaction include intellectual property rights related to Emflaza, inventories of Emflaza, and certain contractual rights related to Emflaza. In accordance with ASU 2017-01, the Company determined that substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in the Emflaza rights intangible asset and as such accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50 and recorded an intangible asset of $148.4 million, which is being amortized to cost of product sales over its expected useful life of approximately seven years on a straight line basis. Marathon is entitled to receive contingent payments from the Company based on annual net sales of Emflaza beginning in 2018, up to a specified aggregate maximum amount over the expected commercial life of the asset. In accordance with the guidance for an asset acquisition, the Company records the milestone payment when it becomes payable to Marathon and increases the cost basis for the Emflaza rights intangible asset. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, milestone payments of $17.1 million and $12.2 million were recorded, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, milestone payments of $26.0 million and $15.0 million were recorded, respectively. These payments are being amortized over the remaining useful life of the Emflaza rights asset on a straight line basis. As of June 30, 2021, a milestone payable to Marathon of $18.4 million was recorded on the balance sheet within accounts payable and accrued expenses. Pursuant to the Akcea Collaboration and License Agreement, in May 2019 the Company made a $6.0 million milestone payment to Akcea upon regulatory approval of Waylivra from the EMA. The payment was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized to cost of product sales over its expected useful life of approximately ten years on a straight line basis. Additionally, in December 2019, the Company made a $4.0 million milestone payment to Akcea upon regulatory approval of Tegsedi from ANVISA. The payment was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized to cost of product sales over its expected useful life of approximately ten years on a straight line basis. Akcea is also entitled to receive royalty payments subject to certain terms set forth in the Akcea Collaboration and License Agreement related to sales of Waylivra. In accordance with the guidance for an asset acquisition, the Company will record royalty payments when they become payable to Akcea and increase the cost basis for the Waylivra intangible asset. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized amortization expense of $12.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, related to the Emflaza rights, Waylivra, and Tegsedi intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized amortization expense of $24.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively, related to the Emflaza rights, Waylivra, and Tegsedi intangible assets. The estimated future amortization of the Emflaza rights, Waylivra, and Tegsedi intangible assets is expected to be as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | As of June 30, 2021
2021 | ​ | $ | 25,496
2022 | ​ |  | 50,992
2023 | ​ |  | 50,992
2024 | ​ |  | 8,482
2025 and thereafter | ​ |  | 4,617
Total | ​ | $ | 140,579
​ The weighted average remaining amortization period of the definite-lived intangibles as of June 30, 2021 is 2.9 years. Indefinite-lived intangibles In connection with the acquisition of the Company’s gene therapy platform from Agilis, the Company acquired rights to PTC-AADC, for the treatment of AADC deficiency. AADC deficiency is a rare CNS disorder arising from reductions in the enzyme AADC that result from mutations in the dopa decarboxylase gene. The gene therapy platform also includes an asset targeting Friedreich ataxia, a rare and life-shortening neurodegenerative disease caused by a single defect in the FXN gene which causes reduced production of the frataxin protein. Additionally, the gene therapy platform includes two other programs targeting CNS disorders, including Angelman syndrome, a rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by severe developmental delays. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the acquisition cost for the Agilis Merger to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The Company classified the fair value of the acquired IPR&D as indefinite lived intangible assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. The value allocated to the indefinite lived intangible assets was $576.5 million. There have been no changes to the balance of the indefinite-lived intangibles since the Agilis Merger. Goodwill As a result of the Agilis Merger on August 23, 2018, the Company recorded $82.3 million of goodwill. There were no changes to the recorded value of goodwill for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021.
