Invitae Collaboration [Abstract] |
Invitae Collaboration | NOTE 3. INVITAE COLLABORATION On January 12, 2021 we entered into a multi-year Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Invitae Corporation (“Invitae”). Pursuant to the Development Agreement, Invitae is providing certain funding to us to develop products relating to production-scale high-throughput sequencing (“Program Products”). If and when Program Products become commercially available for sale, Invitae may purchase the Program Products. In addition to selling the Program Products to Invitae, we will have the right to broadly commercialize Program Products for sale to other customers.The funding Invitae will provide to us will equal certain development costs we incur in connection with the Program Products (“Program Development Costs”). Under the Development Agreement, we will be responsible for conducting a program to develop the Program Products, and subsequently for manufacturing the Program Products. We will make general decisions regarding the development program jointly with Invitae but we are responsible for all research and development activities. The entire development program is expected to last approximately sixty months, but may be shorter or longer. As the primary benefit of its contribution, Invitae will be entitled to preferred pricing on the Program Products if and when they are available for commercial sale. Each Program Product will have a preferential pricing period, which will not exceed four years from the date of the first delivery of that Program Product (“Preferential Pricing Period”). During the Preferential Pricing Period for each Program Product, Invitae may purchase the Program Product at a substantially reduced margin until it has recouped a multiple of its contribution as defined in the Development Agreement. For a specified period after the end of the Preferential Pricing Period, Invitae has the right to purchase the Program Product at a higher price, determined by a formula, than the price during the Preferential Pricing Period (“Extended Pricing Period”). The Extended Pricing Periods will terminate early if Invitae does not meet certain volume minimums.We and Invitae may terminate the Development Agreement if the other party remains in material breach of the Development Agreement following a cure period to remedy the material breach. In addition, the Development Agreement includes certain other circumstances for termination by each party, including circumstances where Invitae may terminate for delays, IP concerns, our change in control, or without cause. In certain termination circumstances, (i) we will be obligated to refund all or a portion of the development costs advanced by Invitae and/or (ii) we will owe Invitae a share of the revenue that may be generated from the sale of the Program Products to third parties if and when they are commercialized, until such time as Invitae has recouped the amounts reimbursed to us, and in certain circumstances, a mutually agreed return. We expect to incur significant development costs over the duration of the Development Agreement. There can be no assurances that the development program will be successful or that the Program Products will become ready for commercial sale.We determined that the primary benefit from the arrangement to Invitae is the ability to procure the Program Products during the Preferential Pricing Period at substantial discounts. As we expect the Program Products to be available for Invitae to purchase in the future, we concluded the arrangement is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In addition, Invitae is not expected to substantially benefit from the intellectual property developed under the arrangement, or benefit from other goods or services during the development period. We are responsible for performing the research and development activities.Accordingly, the amounts received by the Company from Invitae during the development period represent significant discounts toward future supplies of the Program Products during the Preferential Pricing Period, and will be accounted as material rights in accordance with ASC Topic 606. Proportionate amounts of these material rights will be recognized in revenue when Invitae places purchase orders for Program Products and the associated goods or services are delivered to Invitae. To the extent the discounts are not expected to be used, they will be recognized consistent with the guidance in Topic 606 relating to breakage, in proportion to the expected purchases by Invitae. Any remaining unused discounts will be recognized when they expire. All amounts received from Invitae are initially deferred and accumulated in deferred revenue, non-current. As of September 30, 2021, we have recognized payments received from Invitae of $16.8 million of deferred revenue, non-current, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Costs incurred to develop the Program Products are research and development costs and are expensed as incurred. There were no capitalized origination or fulfilment costs related to the arrangement with Invitae that are eligible to be capitalized.
