Development and License Agreements | Note 15. Development and License Agreements Agreements with Fresenius The Company had certain agreements with Fresenius which required the Company to pay royalties through June 30, 2015, on INTERCEPT Blood System product sales at royalty rates that varied by product: 10% of product sales for the platelet system and 3% of product sales for the plasma system. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company made royalty payments to Fresenius of $1.9 million, $2.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owed Fresenius zero and $0.7 million, respectively, for royalties. Through December 31, 2013, the Company and Fresenius operated under a supply agreement (the “Original Supply Agreement”) for the manufacture of the Company’s platelet and plasma systems. Under the Original Supply Agreement, the Company paid Fresenius a set price per kit, which was established annually, plus a fixed surcharge per kit. In addition, volume driven manufacturing overhead was to be paid or refunded if actual manufacturing volumes were lower or higher than the estimated production volumes. In November 2013, the Company amended the Original Supply Agreement with Fresenius, with the new terms effective January 1, 2014 (the “2013 Amendment”). Under the 2013 Amendment, Fresenius was obligated to sell, and the Company was obligated to purchase, up to a certain specified annual volume of finished disposable kits for the platelet and plasma systems from Fresenius for both clinical and commercial use. The 2013 Amendment also provided for fixed pricing for finished kits with successive decreasing pricing tiers at various annual production volumes. Fresenius was also obligated to purchase and maintain specified inventory levels of the Company’s proprietary inactivation compounds and adsorption media from the Company at fixed prices. In October 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “2015 Agreement”) with Fresenius, which amended and restated the 2013 Amendment and Original Supply Agreement. Under the 2015 Agreement, Fresenius continues to be obligated to sell and the Company is obligated to purchase finished disposable kits for the Company’s platelet and plasma systems and the Company’s INTERCEPT Blood System for Red Blood Cells (the “RBC Sets”) product candidate. The 2015 Agreement permits the Company to purchase platelet and plasma systems and RBC Sets from third parties to the extent necessary to maintain supply qualifications with such third parties or where local or regional manufacturing is needed to obtain product registrations or sales. Pricing terms are initially fixed and decline at specified annual production levels, and are subject to certain adjustments after the initial pricing term. Under the 2015 Agreement, the Company is no longer required to make royalty payments to Fresenius for the sale of products after June 30, 2015. Under the 2013 Agreement and 2015 Agreement, the Company maintains the amounts due from the components sold to Fresenius as a current asset on its accompanying consolidated balance sheets until such time as the Company purchases finished disposable kits using those components. The 2015 Agreement also requires the Company to make certain payments totaling €8.6 million (“Manufacturing and Development Payments”) to Fresenius in 2016 and on December 31st of the earlier of (a) the year of achievement of certain production volumes or (b) 2022. Because these payments represent unconditional payment obligations, the Company recognized its liability for these payments at their net present value at discount rate of 9.72% based on the Company’s effective borrowing rate. The Manufacturing and Development Payments liability is accreted through interest expense based on the estimated timing of its ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued $7.8 million (€7.2 million) related to the Manufacturing and Development Payments, of which $3.3 million (€3.0 million) was included in “Manufacturing and development obligations—current”, and $4.5 million (€4.2 million) was included in “Manufacturing and development obligations—non-current” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Manufacturing and Development Payments will be made to support certain projects Fresenius will perform on behalf of the Company related to research and development activities and manufacturing efficiency activities. The Company allocated $4.8 million to research and development activities and $2.4 million to manufacturing efficiency activities based on their market value. The prepaid asset related to amounts paid up front for the R&D activities to be conducted by Fresenius on behalf of the Company is expensed over the period which such activities occur. The manufacturing efficiency asset is expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the 2015 Agreement. As of December 31, 2015, the prepaid asset related to amounts paid up front for the R&D activities to be conducted by Fresenius on behalf of the Company was included in “Other current assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at $4.1 million. As of December 31, 2015, the manufacturing efficiency asset was included in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at $2.4 million. The initial term of the 2015 Agreement extends through July 1, 2025 (the “Initial Term”) and is automatically renewed thereafter for additional two year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”), subject to termination by either party upon (i) two years written notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or (ii) one year written notice prior to the expiration of any Renewal Term. Under 2015 Agreement the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities from Fresenius. The Company made payments to Fresenius of $14.9 million, $19.1 million and $15.0 million relating to the manufacturing of the Company products during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owed Fresenius $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for INTERCEPT disposable kits manufactured. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, amounts due from Fresenius were $0.2 million and $1.3 million respectively.
