Collaboration And License Agreements [Abstract] |
Collaboration and License Agreements | NOTE 2. COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS Amgen Inc. On September 28, 2016, the Company entered into two collaboration and license agreements and a common stock purchase agreement with Amgen. Under the Second Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Olpasiran Agreement”), Amgen has received a worldwide, exclusive license to Arrowhead’s novel RNAi Olpasiran (previously referred to as AMG 890 or ARO-LPA) program. These RNAi molecules are designed to reduce elevated lipoprotein(a), which is a genetically validated, independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Under the prior collaboration and license agreement (the “First Collaboration and License Agreement” or the “ARO-AMG1 Agreement”), Amgen received an option to a worldwide, exclusive license for ARO-AMG1, an RNAi therapy for an undisclosed genetically validated cardiovascular target. Under both agreements, Amgen is wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization. Under the terms of the agreements taken together, the Company has received $35.0 million in upfront payments, $21.5 million in the form of an equity investment by Amgen in the Company’s Common Stock, and $30.0 million in milestone payments, and may receive up to an additional $400.0 million in remaining development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. The Company is further eligible to receive up to low double-digit royalties for sales of products under the Olpasiran Agreement. In July 2019, Amgen informed the Company that it would not be exercising its option for an exclusive license for ARO-AMG1, and as such, there will be no further milestone or royalty payments under the ARO-AMG1 Agreement. The Company has evaluated these agreements in accordance with FASB Topics 808 – Collaboration Arrangements and 606 - Revenue for Contracts from Customers. The Company has substantially completed its performance obligations under the Olpasiran Agreement and the ARO-AMG1 Agreement. Future milestones and royalties achieved will be recognized in their entirety when earned. In July 2020, Amgen initiated a Phase 2 clinical study of Olpasiran, which resulted in a $20.0 million milestone payment to the Company. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0 and $0 of revenue associated with its agreement with Amgen, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there were $0 in contract assets recorded as accounts receivable and $0 contract liabilities recorded as current deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On October 3, 2018, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “Janssen License Agreement”) and a Research Collaboration and Option Agreement (the “Janssen Collaboration Agreement”) with Janssen, part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. The Company also entered into a stock purchase agreement with JJDC (“JJDC Stock Purchase Agreement”). Under the Janssen License Agreement, Janssen has received a worldwide, exclusive license to the Company’s JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) program, the Company’s third-generation subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic candidate being developed as a potential therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Beyond the Company’s Phase 1/2 study of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV), which the Company was responsible for completing, Janssen is wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization of JNJ-3989. Under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement, Janssen will be able to select three new targets against which Arrowhead will develop clinical candidates. These candidates are subject to certain restrictions and do not include candidates that already were in the Company’s pipeline. The Company will perform discovery, optimization and preclinical research and development, entirely funded by Janssen, which on its own or in combination with Janssen development work, is sufficient to allow the filing of a U.S. Investigational New Drug Application or equivalent, at which time Janssen will have the option to take an exclusive license. If the option is exercised, Janssen will be wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization of each optioned candidate. Under the terms of the agreements taken together, the Company has received $175.0 million as an upfront payment, $75.0 million in the form of an equity investment by JJDC in Arrowhead Common Stock under the JJDC Stock Purchase Agreement, and milestone and option payments totaling $70.0 million, and the Company may receive up to $1.6 billion in development and sales milestones payments for the Janssen License Agreement, and up to $1.9 billion in development and sales milestone payments for the three additional targets covered under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. The Company is further eligible to receive tiered royalties on product sales up to mid-teens under the Janssen License Agreement and up to low teens under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. The Company has evaluated these agreements in accordance with FASB Topics 808 – Collaboration Arrangements and 606 - Revenue for Contracts from Customers. At the inception of these agreements, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. Regarding the Janssen License Agreement, the Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services including the Company’s responsibility to complete the Phase 1/2 study of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) and the Company’s responsibility to ensure certain manufacturing of JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) drug product is completed and delivered to Janssen (the “Janssen R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these Janssen R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represent one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. The Company also determined that Janssen’s option to require the Company to develop up to three new targets is not a material right and, thus, not a performance obligation at the onset of the agreement. The consideration for this option is accounted for separately. The Company determined the transaction price totaled approximately $252.7 million, which includes the upfront payment, the premium paid by JJDC for its equity investment in the Company, two $25.0 million milestone payments related to JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV), and estimated payments for reimbursable Janssen R&D Services to be performed. The Company has allocated the total $252.7 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the JNJ-3989 (ARO-HBV) license and the associated Janssen R&D Services. The Company has recognized this transaction price in its entirety as of September 30, 2021, as its performance obligations were substantially completed. Future milestones and royalties achieved will be recognized in their entirety when earned. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized approximately $0 and $12.7 million of revenue associated with this performance obligation, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there were $0 in contract assets recorded as accounts receivable, and $0 of contract liabilities recorded as current deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has begun to conduct its discovery, optimization and preclinical research and development of JNJ-75220795 (ARO-JNJ1), ARO-JNJ2 and ARO-JNJ3 under the Janssen Collaboration Agreement. All costs and labor hours spent by the Company will be entirely funded by Janssen. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0 and $0.3 million of revenue associated with these efforts, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there were $0 of contract assets recorded as accounts receivable and $0 of contract liabilities recorded as current deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. On October 7, 2020, the Company entered into an Exclusive License and Co-funding agreement (the “Takeda License Agreement”) with Takeda. Under the Takeda License Agreement, Takeda and the Company will co-develop the Company’s ARO-AAT program, the Company’s second-generation subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic candidate being developed as a treatment for liver disease associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Within the United States, ARO-AAT, if approved, will be co-commercialized under a 50/50 profit sharing structure. Outside the United States, Takeda will lead the global commercialization strategy and will receive an exclusive license to commercialize ARO-AAT, while the Company will be eligible to receive tiered royalties of 20% to 25% on net sales. In January 2021, the Company received $300.0 million as an upfront payment and is eligible to receive potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones of up to $740.0 million. The Company has evaluated the Takeda License Agreement in accordance with FASB Topics 808 – Collaborative Arrangements and 606 - Revenue for Contracts from Customers. At the inception of the Takeda License Agreement, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services including the Company’s responsibilities to complete the initial portion of the SEQUOIA study, to complete the ongoing Phase 2 AROAAT2002 study and to ensure certain manufacturing of ARO-AAT drug product is completed and delivered to Takeda (the “Takeda R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these Takeda R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represent one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. Beyond the Takeda R&D Services, which are the responsibility of the Company, Takeda will be responsible for managing future clinical development and commercialization outside the United States. Within the United States, the Company will also participate in co-development and co-commercialization efforts and will co-fund these efforts with Takeda as part of the 50/50 profit sharing structure within the United States. The Company considers the collaborative activities, including the co-development and co-commercialization, to be a separate unit of account within Topic 808, and as such, these co-funding amounts will be recorded as Research and Development Expenses or General and Administrative Expenses, as appropriate. The Company determined the initial transaction price totaled $300.0 million, which includes the upfront payment. The Company has excluded any future milestones or royalties from this transaction price to date. The Company has allocated the total $300.0 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the ARO-AAT license and the associated Takeda R&D Services. Revenue will be recognized using a proportional performance method (based on actual patient visits completed versus total estimated visits completed for the ongoing SEQUOIA and AROAAT2002 clinical studies). Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $20.8 million and $8.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there were $0 in contract assets recorded as accounts receivable, $82.0 million in contract liabilities recorded as deferred revenue and $106.5 million in contract liabilities recorded as deferred revenue, net of the current portion, and $2.9 million in contract liabilities recorded as accrued expenses. The $2.9 million in accrued expenses was primarily driven by co-development and co-commercialization activities. Horizon Therapeutics Ireland DAC On June 18, 2021, the Company entered into the Horizon License Agreement with Horizon. Under the Horizon License Agreement, Horizon received a worldwide exclusive license for ARO-XDH, a previously undisclosed discovery-stage investigational RNAi therapeutic being developed by the Company as a potential treatment for people with uncontrolled gout. The Company will conduct all activities through the preclinical stages of development of ARO-XDH, and Horizon will be wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization of ARO-XDH. In July 2021, the Company received $40 million as an upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $660 million in potential development, regulatory and sales milestones. The Company is also eligible to receive royalties in the low- to mid-teens range on net product sales. The Company has evaluated the Horizon License Agreement in accordance with FASB Topics 808 – Collaborative Arrangements and 606 - Revenue for Contracts from Customers. At the inception of the Horizon License Agreement, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services, including the Company’s responsibilities to conduct all activities through the preclinical stages of development of ARO-XDH (the “Horizon R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these Horizon R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represented one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. Beyond the Horizon R&D Services, which are the responsibility of the Company, Horizon will be responsible for managing future clinical development and commercialization of ARO-XDH. The Company determined the initial transaction price totaled $40.0 million, including the upfront payment. The Company has excluded any future estimated milestones or royalties, from this transaction price to date. The Company will allocate the total $40.0 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the ARO-XDH license and the associated Horizon R&D Services. Revenue will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated timeframe for completing the Horizon R&D Services. The Company determined that the straight-line basis was appropriate as its efforts will be expended evenly over the course of completing its performance obligation. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $6.7 million and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there were $0.1 million in contract assets recorded as accounts receivable, $26.7 million in contract liabilities recorded as deferred revenue. Glaxosmithkline Intellectual Property (No. 3) Limited On November 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “GSK License Agreement”) with GSK. Under the GSK License Agreement, GSK has received an exclusive license for ARO-HSD, the Company’s investigational RNAi therapeutic being developed as a treatment for patients with alcohol-related and nonalcohol related liver diseases, such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The exclusive license is worldwide with the exception of greater China, for which the Company will retain rights to develop and commercialize. Beyond the Company’s Phase 1/2 study of (ARO-HSD), which the Company is responsible for completing, GSK is wholly responsible for clinical development and commercialization of ARO-HSD in its territory. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has received an upfront payment of $120 million and is eligible for additional payments of $30 million at the start of Phase 2 and $100 million upon achieving a successful Phase 2 trial readout and the first patient dosed in a Phase 3 trial. Furthermore, should the Phase 3 trial read out positively, and the potential new medicine receives regulatory approval in major markets, the deal provides for commercial milestone payments to the Company of up to $190 million at first commercial sale, and up to $590 million in sales-related milestone payments. The Company is further eligible to receive tiered royalties on net product sales in a range of mid-teens to twenty percent. The Company has evaluated the GSK License Agreement in accordance with FASB Topics 808 – Collaborative Arrangements and 606 - Revenue for Contracts from Customers. At the inception of the GSK License Agreement, the Company identified one distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that the key deliverables included the license and certain R&D services, including the Company’s responsibility to complete the Phase 1/2 study, (the “GSK R&D Services”). Due to the specialized and unique nature of these GSK R&D Services and their direct relationship with the license, the Company determined that these deliverables represented one distinct bundle and, thus, one performance obligation. Beyond the GSK R&D Services, which are the responsibility of the Company, GSK will be responsible for managing future clinical development and commercialization in its territory. The Company determined the initial transaction price totaled $120.0 million, including the upfront payment. The Company has excluded any future estimated milestones or royalties from this transaction price to date. The Company has allocated the total $120.0 million initial transaction price to its one distinct performance obligation for the ARO-HSD license and the associated GSK R&D Services. Revenue will be recognized using a proportional performance method. As of December 31, 2021, no revenue or contract assets or liabilities were recognized as the GSK License Agreement had not yet completed customary closing conditions, including clearance by the relevant competition authorities. This clearance was achieved in January 2022 and the upfront payment of $120.0 million was also received by the Company in January 2022.
