Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitment and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company has entered into agreements as of June 30, 2024 primarily in regards to the clinical and non-clinical development services with contract research organizations ("CROs"), as well as supply and logistics services with contract manufacturing organizations ("CMOs"), for the advancement of SLK. As of June 30, 2024, the total committed expense under these agreements amounted to $125.5 million, of which $5.9 million are recognized under Prepaid expenses - current, $4.1 million are recognized under Prepaid expenses - non-current, and the rest remain unrecognized. The Company's In-License Agreement with MHKDG includes contractual milestone payments related to the achievement of pre-specified research, development, regulatory and commercialization events and indemnification provisions, which are common in such agreements. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company is obligated to make research and development and regulatory milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain events. Subject to the terms of the license, additional milestone payments of up to €299.6 million ($320.6 million using a June 30, 2024 exchange rate) are potentially payable upon satisfying specific milestones related to regulatory filing acceptance, first commercial sales, and aggregate annual net sales. The milestone payments are payable in cash. Milestone payments due prior to obtaining regulatory approval will be recorded as research and development expense upon determination that a milestone payment is probable to occur. Milestone payments due after obtaining regulatory approval will be capitalized when and if incurred. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the milestones to occur. However, if the Company reasonably determines that a technical failure or commercial failure has occurred with respect to all or a part of the SLK Program, the Company, at its sole discretion, can terminate all or part of the SLK Program. As of June 30, 2024, the Company made a total of €7.5 million ($8.1 million using the then applicable exchange rates) in additional milestone payments. In addition, on May 12, 2023, MoonLake AG entered into an agreement with Research Cooperation Technologies, Inc. (“RCT”) and MHKDG, effective as of June 1, 2023, pursuant to which the Company was granted a royalty-bearing, nonexclusive, sublicensable right and license under RCT’s patents and know-how related to a manufacturing process using an underlying yeast strain, Pichia pastoris, to develop, manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale, and import and otherwise commercialize SLK on a world-wide basis, subject to certain restrictions. This agreement replaces the Company’s sublicense for similar rights under the In-License Agreement. In the aggregate, the Company is required to pay royalties within the range of low to mid-teen percent of net sales under the aforementioned agreements with MHKDG and RCT. Royalties will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss when net sales are recognized.
